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

Uehara Shu did not hesitate at all.

"Bind!"

Binding successful.

The Hammer of Zudon is now bound to the blacksmith Osamu Uehara as his exclusive forging hammer.

One of the binding effects: The size of Zul'Dun's Hammer can be changed by the blacksmith's thoughts, with the upper limit being its true size and the lower limit being the size of a single-person hand hammer.

The second binding effect: The power of Zul'Dun's Hammer has been enhanced to a certain extent.

Third binding effect: The blacksmith has the ability to recall the Zul'Dun Hammer, ignoring spatial effects.

Uehara Osamu gripped the handle of Zudon's Hammer.

A thought came to mind.

Then it was seen that the Hammer of Zudun was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, in Uehara Osamu's hands, it had been transformed into the shape of a hand hammer.

It's no different from the hammer that Uehara Osamu used for forging.

However, Uehara Osamu could clearly sense that it was completely different.

"A lighter feel."

"But it is much heavier."

"Forging with the Hammer of Zudun will be several times more efficient than before."

"Moreover, the Hammer of Zudun also contains the power of lightning."

"If I inject chakra during the forging process, I can even infuse the power of lightning into the metal being forged, giving it properties."

"However, that depends on the metals being able to withstand it."

Uehara Osamu swung his fist.

"Water Drop Hammer!"

A hammer fell.

Instantly, the stubborn rock in front of Uehara Shu shattered into dust.

Uehara Shu's eyes lit up.

"What a powerful force!"

"This is more powerful than many of my Water Release techniques."

"With one blow, not many ninjas can withstand it."

"Moreover, and more importantly, much of the power comes from the Hammer of Zudun itself, so my consumption is not very high."

"In a sense, the Hammer of Zudon is like my Hidden Mist Village version of Zanpakuto."

"I have also become a member of the Ghost Squad in the Hidden Mist Village version."

"Long-range, water escape."

"Close range, swing the hammer."

"As far as combat ninjas are concerned, I have no obvious weaknesses."

"With her overall strength, she is definitely one of the best among Jonin."

Uehara Shu tucked the hammer into his waistband, just like others would tuck their ninja swords into their waistbands.

"The only problem is that there was no reward for forging the Hammer of Zudun this time."

"It's rare to find another ninja tool of perfect quality."

"However, this is not a blueprint obtained from reputation, but a blacksmith's exclusive ninja tool."

"I should be satisfied."

"Among the many systems, my blacksmith system has a pretty good return rate."

"It's not as good as those who just sign in, give up, or lie low."

"But it's better than some others."

"It's at least much more reliable than the cycle of reincarnation."

When Yuan Xiu stepped out of the forging room, he saw it.

A very haggard figure stood at the door.

Kisame Hoshigaki heard the door open, looked up at Uehara Shu, his eyes bloodshot.

"Xiu, I'm sorry."

Kisame Hoshigaki lowered his head.

"I lost Kiriichimonji."

Kisame Hoshigaki didn't mention anyone except himself.

The blame was not placed on the suddenly appearing bamboo cat.

They did not blame the other Hidden Mist ninja for not providing support quickly enough.

I'm just blaming myself.

"Kisame, I already know what happened. The loss of Kiriichimonji is not your fault. You don't need to blame yourself. Anyone would be in the same situation."

"The strength of the Taketori Neko has already surpassed that of a Jonin."

Dragon bones, plus the limit of the bloodline of corpse bones.

The cat-like creature, the Bamboo Cutter, even managed to defeat Orochimaru.

Even if Orochimaru at that time was not Orochimaru at full strength.

But that also speaks volumes.

The strength of the Bamboo Cat has already reached the level of a Kage.

It's fair to say that the Third Mizukage wouldn't have been a match for the Skeleton King if he didn't have the Skeleton King.

Just like Itachi Uchiha, who easily defeated Orochimaru after activating the Mangekyou Sharingan.

In the world of ninjas, there is no such thing as fairness.

One effort, one reward?

impossible.

Talent, Bloodline Limit, Resources

These things are probably much more important than hard work.

Because anyone can work hard.

But anything beyond hard work is very difficult to possess.

Of course, on the other hand, without any other conditions, if you don't even try, you can't become a powerful ninja, let alone a mid-level ninja.

"Kisame, you haven't forgotten your original intentions, have you?"

"I still remember the confidence you had when you didn't get Kiriichimonji."

"Does Kisame think he's no good anymore without Kiriichimonji?"

Kisame Hoshigaki instinctively retorted.

"of course not."

"I just feel so sorry for you, Xiu. You trusted me so much and entrusted me with the first Zanpakuto you ever forged, but I failed to protect it."

Uehara Osamu patted Kisame Hoshigaki on the shoulder.

"I told you, I don't blame you."

"This isn't your fault."

"If you still feel guilty, then you don't consider me a friend."

"It's just a Kiri Ichimonji sword."

"Am I incapable of forging a new Zanpakuto?"

After saying that, Uehara Shu stood up.

"Kisame, now that you're back, that's just in time."

"I've just received a new mission request. Come and help me complete this mission."

"This mission requires three people."

"You and Senior Qing together."

Kisame Hoshigaki hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Uehara Shu looked at Kisame Hoshigaki.

"Need a break?"

Kisame Hoshigaki originally wanted to say that he didn't need to rest.

However, considering the importance of this mission, I still think it's best to get myself into the best possible condition.

"Xiu, is tomorrow morning okay?"

"of course."

Uehara Osamu smiled.

"Kisame, you should get some rest today."

"it is good."

Kisame Hoshigaki did not leave the forging island, but instead found an empty house and went to sleep.

Ao came to Uehara Osamu's side.

"Kisame has indeed suffered a huge blow this time."
