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

"No wonder the minister can forge ninja swords like Zanpakuto."

Kiyotani Roku was amazed.

"All right."

Uehara Shu took out the forged ninja sword.

A broadsword.

These materials are actually not bad in the ninja world.

However, compared to what Uehara Osamu obtained in the dimensional material dungeon, there is indeed a gap.

Therefore, if the quality is insufficient, then make up for it with quantity.

To create a heavier type of ninja sword, thus achieving greater strength.

Uehara Osamu swung his hand once.

"call!"

A sound as if the air had been cleaved apart rang out.

"Minister, may I touch it?"

Abandoned Ship's eyes were fixed intently on Broadsword.

"can."

Uehara Shu saw Arafune's expression and his eye twitched, but he still handed it over.

Arasenji took it and immediately began to examine it closely, his eyes glued to it as if he wanted to stick to it.

Tanaka Shinnosuke and Kiyotani Roku also joined in.

Uehara Shu glanced at the semi-transparent panel and the reputation bar number, and his brow furrowed.

1368!

"It increased by about 400 points."

"It's not that far from 2000 points."

Therefore, Uehara Osamu did not immediately perform a ten-pull, but decided to wait.

There will be another wave of reputation to gain after that.

After studying it for a long time, Arasen and the others reluctantly returned it to Uehara Osamu.

Uehara Osamu, carrying the broadsword, approached Ao.

"Senior Qing."

"Xiu, what's this?"

Qing's gaze fell on the broadsword.

"It's not a Zanpakuto, but a similar ninja sword to the one I gave to Taiga last time."

Uehara Osamu handed over the broadsword.

"Senior Qing, I will forge a ninja sword for each sword-forging competition in the future to serve as an example for the blacksmiths. The ninja swords I forge will be of better quality than ordinary ninja swords and can be used by the members of the guard team."

"this is OK."

Qing said, "It can both increase the strength of the guards and improve their loyalty to the forging department."

"But Xiu, why don't you give these ninja swords a name too?"

"It's not just one or two, but many more. Giving it a name will make it even more effective."

The effect that Ao mentioned is the effect brought about by Uehara Osamu naming the ninja sword he forged as Zanpakuto.

There are no actual ability bonuses, but your influence will increase.

Uehara Osamu thought for a moment.

"Let's call it Liang Kuai Dao (Good Swift Blade)."

A fine and sharp knife requires only a few strokes.

Because of the quantity, Uehara Shu couldn't determine it.

"A swift sword? The name is less imposing than a Zanpakuto, but it's still quite fitting."

A fine, sharp sword is not as good as a Zanpakuto.

Using a name that sounds more imposing than Zanpakuto is inappropriate.

"I'll go and inform them."

Uehara Osamu nodded.

"If possible, Senior Ao, you can arrange a competition to decide who owns this ninja sword."

"Okay, that's what I'm going to do."

Qing said, "But it would be fair if we wait until tomorrow during the day, when all the members of the guard team are present."

"Senior Qing, you can arrange it as you see fit."

The night passed quietly.

The next day, very early in the morning.

Ao and Ota gathered all the members of the guard team together, except for those who had to be on duty at the moment.

Uehara Shu prepared to enter the forging room to continue the material smelting for the Hammer of Zudon.

Just then, a figure came over at an extremely fast speed.

"Minister Uehara."

"Good morning, Elder Yuan."

Uehara Shu turned back.

A member of the guard team on duty quickly arrived with a Yuan Master.

Master Yuan looked very anxious.

"Good morning, let's go see the Third Generation Lord together, there's very important news."

"it is good."

Soon, the two arrived at the empty forge where the Skeleton Emperor was located.

The phantom of the Third Mizukage appeared, and he didn't look to be in good condition.

At this time, it hadn't been long since the battle with Zudomon, and the Third Mizukage hadn't recovered much.

Master Yuan's expression was serious.

"Lord Mizukage, very bad news has come from the Taketori Neko!"

Chapter 145 The Third Mizukage caused Kisame Hoshigaki to sacrifice himself.

"what news?"

Master Yuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let me tell you some good news first."

The Third Mizukage:

"Currently, Taketori Neko has reached a cooperative relationship with Orochimaru, although this cooperative relationship is not stable. Orochimaru wants to investigate the secret of the Zanpakuto, while Taketori Neko wants to investigate the hidden strength of Konoha."

"Most of the information they provided to each other was probably false."

"However, some useful information can also be obtained from it."

"Orochimaru deliberately avoided other Konoha ninjas when making this deal, which is valuable to us."

"Since Orochimaru has taken the initiative to avoid this, it proves that we can use this exposure of his confidence as a condition to slightly threaten Orochimaru."

"Furthermore, this proves that Orochimaru doesn't seem to have the absolute trust of the Third Hokage in Konoha."

The third Mizukage nodded.

"According to the intelligence we have obtained, the candidates for the next Hokage of Konoha are mainly focused on two people: Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze."

"Orochimaru was Hiruzen Sarutobi's disciple, but he did not receive Hiruzen Sarutobi's support. On the contrary, Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to support Minato Namikaze more."

The Third Mizukage paused for a moment as he spoke.

"I know why Hiruzen Sarutobi chose Minato Namikaze."

"Orochimaru has a long history and a good relationship with Danzo Shimura."

"Minato Namikaze was a pure commoner ninja."

"His wife's clan, the Uzumaki clan, can no longer be called a ninja clan."

"In comparison, Minato Namikaze is much easier to control."

"If I were Hiruzen Sarutobi, I would also choose Minato Namikaze."

"Master Yuan, tell me the bad news."

Uehara Shuuya knew everything about the struggle for the Fourth Hokage position.

Between Minato Namikaze and Orochimaru, Hiruzen Sarutobi definitely preferred Minato Namikaze.

Uehara Shu remembered that Orochimaru didn't seem to be that "perverted" at the beginning.

After losing the Hokage competition, Orochimaru became even more "abnormal," focusing all his energy on his research.

Master Yuan nodded.

"Yes, Mizukage-sama."

"After the Taketori Neko and Orochimaru formed a partnership, a mysterious and eccentric person came to the Taketori Neko and invited him to join his organization."

The Third Mizukage frowned slightly.

"A wandering ninja?"

This was the first thing the Third Mizukage thought of.
