The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

A comparison between the Shinigami Squad and the Seven Ninja Hozuki.

The former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, having lost their Seven Ninja Swords, turned to the Blacksmithing Department, obtained Zanpakuto, and became members of the Shinigami Squad.

Those who disliked the Hozuki clan became supporters of Zanpakuto.

They ridiculed and belittled the Hozuki clan to the extreme.

In this situation, the Hozuki clan members criticized and belittled the Zanpakuto and the Shinigami squad.

After a series of actions, the relationship between the two camps has become very strained.

It was far worse than the time when Hozuki Mangetsu visited.

After Hozuki Izumo explained his situation, Uehara Osamu felt relieved.

"But why should my forging department accept you?"

“I have already left the Hozuki clan, and I know a lot about the Hozuki clan. I can tell you everything I know, Uehara-sama. I can tell you now.”

"But I want a chance to own a Zanpakuto."

Uehara Osamu glanced at Hozuki Izumo.

"Anything is okay?"

"Correct."

"Including the Hozuki clan's current plans, and your clan's secret techniques?"

Hozuki Izumo hesitated for a moment, but then nodded.

"can."

If you're going to betray, then betray completely.

Hozumo Izumo had this realization the moment he left Hozumo Island.

"Okay, I can give you a chance."

"Thank you, Minister Uehara."

Watching Hozuki Izumo's departing figure, Ao frowned.

"Xiu, why did you accept someone like this?"

"A traitor."

"Even family secrets and secret techniques can be handed over."

"How can you trust someone like that?"

"He can betray the Hozuki clan today, and he can betray the Forging Department tomorrow."

Ao made no attempt to hide her disgust for Hozuki Izumo.

Even though Ao knew that Hozuki Izumo had a reason for what happened.

However, in Qing's view, a traitor is a traitor.

Uehara Osamu said, "Senior Ao, do you think that given Hozuki Izumo's situation, if our blacksmithing department doesn't accept him, he might go and join another ninja village?"

Qing was stunned for a moment.

"So, you took Hozuki Izumo in because you were worried he would defect to another ninja village?"

"This way of thinking is indeed beneficial to the village."

Uehara Osamu nodded.

"That's part of the reason, and another part is that the Hozuki clan really went too far."

"Whether it's our forging department or Hozuki Izumo."

“I don’t mean to fight against them. I think it’s pointless to spend time and energy on this.”

"But they've become rather aggressive."

"It was even more outrageous after the Third Generation Lord encountered such a thing."

“Some people are even encouraged by the disappearance of the three generations of adults.”

Qing remained silent for a moment.

"The Hozuki clan has really gone too far."

“Before, he lived in a secluded corner and didn’t have much interaction with the village. Once he made a move, he became extremely selfish.”

"And the same applies to the matter of the Third Generation Lord."

"Shu, if the Third Generation Lord knew about what you did, he would definitely be grateful for your actions."

Uehara Shu shook his head.

"There's no need for the three generations of elders to know; I just did what I was supposed to do."

When Uehara Osamu said this, he wasn't just standing up for the Third Mizukage; he was trying to establish an image of himself as someone who cherishes old friendships.

This can increase the "loyalty" of those around you.

In addition to these, Uehara Osamu was also interested in the Hozuki clan's water-style techniques.

Based on the technique of water transformation, a series of water escape techniques were derived.

Uehara Shu had wanted to learn it for a long time.

However, the Hozuki clan protects their water-style secret techniques very well.

And now, the opportunity has finally arrived.

Ota appeared in front of Hozuki Izumo.

"Izumo, Minister Uehara wants you to go there."

"Okay, right away."

Hozuki Izumo immediately put down what he was holding and followed Ota out.

Head to Forging Island at a very fast pace.

"Minister, Hozuki Izumo has been brought."

"Minister Uehara."

Hozuki Izumo immediately took the initiative to greet him.

Uehara Osamu nodded slightly.

"Izumo".

Mei Terumi glanced at Izumo Hozuki.

Mei Terumi was also aware of the conflict between the Forging Department and the Hozuki clan.

Unexpectedly, I've found a member of the Hozuki clan here.

Uehara Osamu originally wanted Kisame Hoshigaki to return to the village, but after seeing Izumo Hozuki's situation, he suddenly felt that Izumo Hozuki was actually a very good candidate.

The Hozuki clan's secret techniques, when used correctly, are extremely effective.

Therefore, Uehara Osamu decided to have Hozuki Izumo replace Kisame Hoshigaki, who was originally planned to take his place.

This would be better for the Hidden Mist Ninja on the front lines of the Land of Fire.

"Minister Uehara, is there something you need?"

The situation before him left Hozuki Izumo somewhat confused.

"We'll talk about it later; one person hasn't arrived yet."

Another few minutes passed.

Two figures came into view from afar.

"minister."

"Minister Uehara."

Uehara Shu glanced at Kaguya's spring.

"Izumi, take Yuri to train on the other side."

"Yes, Minister."

Kaguya Izumi took Ringo Ameyuri away.

Uehara Shu looked around and said, "I've gathered everyone here for a mission that requires six people. Before we begin, I need everyone to introduce their abilities."

"This way, we can cooperate better in the subsequent missions."

"The target is very strong."

"Let me first give you a brief overview of my situation."

"I am skilled in Water Release and know two Fire Release techniques."

"In terms of overall strength, he has not yet reached the level of a Jonin."

After Uehara finished speaking,

Qing then took the initiative to continue, saying, "I mainly use Water Release and Taijutsu, and I am skilled in using sensory ninjutsu. I have the Byakugan, and you can handle intelligence matters for me. Overall, I am a Jonin."

Next was Daejeon.

"My main skills are Water Release and Ninja Swordsmanship. Overall, I am a Jonin."

Immediately, Uehara Shu's gaze fell upon Kaguya Shinsui.

"I am skilled in taijutsu and water-style techniques, and I am a Jonin."

After Kaguya Shinsui finished speaking, Uehara Shu's gaze fell on Hozuki Izumo again.

Hozuki Izumo said, "I am skilled in Lightning Release and Water Release, and my overall strength is that of a Jonin."

"My mastery of Water Release is pretty good. I have Boil Release and Lava Release. In terms of overall strength, I think I should have reached the level of an elite Jonin."
