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

Besides ninja villages, there are other ways for ninjas to exist in this ninja world.

For example, ninja families.

A wandering ninja.

And rogue ninja.

These ninjas were not as powerful as the ninja villages, and they lived in the cracks between the ninja villages.

Taking on tasks with lower cost-effectiveness means putting in a lot of effort for little reward.

From this perspective, it is actually reasonable for ninja villages to take a cut from the mission commission fees when they provide a platform for ninjas to accept missions.

To outsiders, the deeds of the bamboo-cutter cat are considered extremely bad.

Driven by a desire for power, he stole a Zanpakuto and slaughtered his own people, nearly wiping out the entire Taketori clan.

"If it were an ordinary organization, it wouldn't be anything special. It's normal for the Bamboo Cat to attract their attention given its strength."

"Those people don't care about exterminating their clan."

“Some people might even idolize the bamboo-cutter cat because of this.”

The Third Mizukage said.

Master Yuan said with a solemn expression, "Lord Mizukage, I share the same view. However, the person who invited the Taketori Neko is no ordinary person. He claims to be Uchiha Madara!"

The Third Mizukage's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Uchiha Madara?"

Compared to Uehara Osamu, the Third Mizukage had a deeper, more fearful, and more intense impression of Uchiha Madara.

Because the Third Mizukage had personally witnessed Madara Uchiha take action.

That powerful aura, that terrifying ninjutsu

One person is equivalent to an entire ninja army.

While sheer numbers could kill the Third Raikage, they proved quite ineffective against Madara Uchiha.

The Third Tsuchikage, who lived at the same time as the Third Mizukage, was even beaten up by Madara Uchiha when he was a child, which became a psychological trauma for Onoki and he could not get over it for a long time.

Uehara Shu's heart stirred.

Upon hearing this name, Uehara Shu knew it must be Obito Uchiha's "role-playing game".

Based on the current timeline, Madara Uchiha is now dead.

Obito Uchiha became the successor to Madara Uchiha's plan.

Of course, Obito Uchiha thought he was the successor and even had other ideas.

But in reality, it was just a pawn.

Obito Uchiha probably felt that his reputation was not good enough and he was not confident in his strength, so he used Madara Uchiha's name.

The name alone is enough to intimidate many people.

Just like it is now.

Upon hearing the name Uchiha Madara, the Third Mizukage's expression instantly turned serious and solemn, even though he wasn't sure if Madara's identity was genuine.

But what if Master Yuan had said the name of Uchiha Obito?

This is how the Third Mizukage would react.

"Obito Uchiha?"

"What the hell?"

The Third Mizukage frowned deeply.

"I remember it very clearly. Back then, Madara Uchiha rebelled against Konoha and fought a great battle with Hashirama Senju. After the battle, Hashirama Senju was seriously injured, which led to his untimely death."

"Konoha has begun to enter a period of decline."

"After the Second Hokage died, Konoha declined further."

"It's fair to say that the other ninja villages should be grateful to Madara Uchiha."

"If it weren't for Uchiha Madara, with Senju Hashirama's strength, not to mention living to this day, even if he had lived for several more decades, he would have built an extremely solid foundation for Konoha."

"No matter how incompetent Hiruzen Sarutobi is, he cannot ruin the foundation."

"That time, Madara Uchiha died outright."

"Even if Madara Uchiha were still alive, he would surely be very old by now. What could he possibly accomplish?"

What the Third Mizukage knew, the Master also knew.

But that person claimed to be Uchiha Madara and possessed Sharingan that was different from the three-tomoe Sharingan. Even if he wasn't Uchiha Madara, he probably wasn't a simple person.

"Lord Mizukage, even Taketori Neko didn't believe it at first, but that person showed off his Sharingan, a Sharingan that was even higher than the three-tomoe Sharingan. In addition, this person claimed that their goal was to achieve a certain plan."

"In this plan, the ninja village will disappear."

"War will disappear."

"The whole world is entering an era of harmony, an era in which everyone desires a better life."

The three water shadows chuckled.

A world without war?

"An era where everyone aspires to a certain lifestyle?"

"Even the real Madara Uchiha couldn't do that."

Uehara Osamu agreed with this point.

No one in the entire history of the ninja world has ever been able to do this.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki couldn't do that.

Hashirama Senju couldn't do that.

Madara Uchiha couldn't do it.

Even Naruto Uzumaki couldn't become the prophesied child mentioned by Gamamaru.

As long as people exist, there will inevitably be conflict.

Master Yuan continued, "The man who called himself Uchiha Madara arranged a test for Taketori Neko: if Taketori Neko could steal any Zanpakuto except for Ryukotsu, he could recruit him."

The Third Mizukage remained silent for a moment.

"That person is very strong? So strong that even the Bamboo Cat is wary of him?"

"Yes."

Immediately, the Third Mizukage turned his gaze to Uehara Shu.

"Xiu, what do you think?"

Uehara Osamu had anticipated that Uchiha Obito would invite Taketori Neko.

After all, in the original storyline, the members of the Akatsuki organization were mostly rogue ninja.

Sasori of the Red Sand from Sunagakure.

Deidara of Iwagakure.

Kisame Hoshigaki and Juzo Biwa from Kirigakure.

Itachi Uchiha and Orochimaru from Konoha.

Kakuzu of Takigakure Village.

Obito Uchiha wouldn't care whether these people still had any feelings for the ninja village they came from.

Just like there wasn't really any major conflict between Deidara and Iwagakure.

Onoki's regard for Deidara remained unchanged.

Kurotsuchi, on the other hand, treats Deidara like an older brother.

Therefore, even if the extermination of the Kaguya clan was somewhat suspicious, Obito Uchiha would still invite them.

Obito Uchiha was confident that when he presented the Eye of the Moon Plan to the members he had recruited, they would make the right and wise choice.

Ninja villages are too limiting.

Only the Infinite Tsukuyomi can bring happiness to everyone.

"Lord Mizukage, I think it would be beneficial for us if Neko-senpai joined that organization."

"Regardless of whether he is the real Uchiha Madara, his organization is definitely an enemy to Kirigakure. By joining it, Neko-senpai can obtain information."

"As for the issue of stealing the Zanpakuto as a test, Lord Mizukage, what do you think is the best course of action?"

The Third Mizukage said.

"If the Zanpakuto, which no one knows about, is stolen by Taketori Neko, it probably won't be very effective."

"If I were the one who called himself Madara Uchiha, I wouldn't trust the Taketori Neko very much."

"There are only a few Zanpakuto that everyone knows about, and they all already have users. If Taketori Neko steals them, the strength of these users will be greatly reduced."

"Shu, among the current Zanpakuto, which one is relatively weaker?"

Uehara Osamu thought for a moment.

"Kiriichimonji".

This is the first ninja sword that Uehara Osamu forged. Because it was the first time, it was only of ordinary quality, and its abilities were greatly weakened compared to the original.

Moreover, the original version was merely a servant's tool.

Compared to something like God's Hand, it's a level weaker.

Uehara Osamu was also considering it in his heart.

Kiriichimonji, average quality.

Blue Rose Sword, of good quality.

God's Hand, excellent quality.
