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

"He was previously the number one among the younger generation in the ninja world."

"Because of losing Kiriichimonji, it fell directly."

"Countless rumors and gossip."

"The power of words can actually be very hurtful."

"It's not just other ninja villages, it's the same in our village as well."

"Especially the Hozuki clan."

Uehara Osamu had anticipated this.

After the Zanpakuto and the Seven Ninja Swords of Hozuki became opposing forces, the Hozuki clan became strange and unsettling.

The disappearance of the Third Mizukage is as follows.

That's how it happened that Kiriichimonji was stolen.

This is also why Kisame Hoshigaki lost his position as a younger generation enemy.

Because the Hozuki clan is not strong, they have only taken a few steps on the road to revival.

They dare not take any substantial action.

They can only do it in secret, in a sarcastic and ambiguous way.

"I believe Kisame won't give up like this."

"As for the ninja sword issue, I'll resolve it sooner or later."

The loss of Kiriichimonji was actually arranged by the Third Mizukage.

However, Uehara Osamu also thought of something.

As he forged more and more Zanpakuto.

They would inevitably be targeted by people from other ninja villages.

There is a possibility that it could be stolen.

After all, even things like the Byakugan and Sharingan, which are grown on the body, can be stolen.

Moreover, it's a ninja sword that you hold in your hand, not at your waist or on your shoulder.

If we had a scroll that could summon spirits, like the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, that would be much better.

Even if we blame the limitations of the summoning scrolls, for example, if the ninja sword is being used by another ninja, it cannot be forcibly summoned back in this way.

However, the problem with Zanpakuto now is that if it falls into a canyon or swamp, there is no good way to retrieve it; one has to go to the location where it fell to look for it.

"If all Zanpakuto had the same recall effect as my Zanpakuto, that would be great."

Qing nodded.

"hope so."

"Kisame is a good young man. It would be a great pity for the village if he were to give up like this."

"As long as Kisame can overcome this hurdle, he will surely have a place among the future strongest ninjas."

"Just like the current golden generation members."

Uehara Osamu arrived at the training ground during Kisame Hoshigaki's rest time.

Accompanying Uehara Osamu was Hozuki Izumo.

The training ground was deserted.

Previously, Ringo Ameyuri was always there, but now, Ringo Ameyuri has gone to the front lines.

They compete with others for the title of the number one among the younger generation.

"Izumo, let's begin."

"Yes, Minister."

Hozuki Izumo said, "The foundation of the Hozuki clan's Water Release techniques is the Water Transformation Technique."

"It can be said that only by mastering the Water Transformation Technique can one master other Water Release techniques."

"For example, the Water Gun Technique, the Water Ball Technique, and the Oil Transformation Technique."

"And that ultimate ninjutsu, Steam Explosion."

As he said this, a fanatical glint appeared in Hozuki Izumo's eyes.

Steaming is dangerous and explosive.

An extremely powerful water-style ninjutsu.

Create a clone that is a mixture of oil and water, capable of exploding multiple times.

It is extremely powerful.

In the original storyline, the Second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu, used this ninjutsu to inflict a fatal, incurable wound on the Second Tsuchikage at the same time as his own death.

Countless members of the Hozuki clan dream of learning this ninjutsu.

Once you learn this ninjutsu, you can immediately join the ranks of top-tier ninjas.

Unfortunately, after Hozuki Gengetsu, no one learned it.

Only now has a single candidate emerged who could potentially learn it: Hozuki Mangetsu.

Uehara Osamu checked the compatibility of the ninja sword.

Hozuki Mangetsu's Water Release talent is significantly stronger than Hozuki Suigetsu's.

Hozuki Suigetsu's water-style talent is actually quite good.

Perhaps Hozuki Mangetsu really has a chance to reach the level of Hozuki Gengetsu back in the day.

However, in the original storyline, Hozuki Mangetsu unfortunately died too early.

In this world, even if Hozuki Mangetsu reached the level of Hozuki Gengetsu, Uehara Shu felt that Hozuki Mangetsu would not be the strongest being in Kirigakure.

Because the Hidden Mist Village now possesses its own forged ninja swords.

A single ninja sword can forge a powerful warrior.

The Skeleton Emperor was so powerful that even Obito Uchiha and Nagato had to avoid his attacks.

"It is very difficult to learn the art of water transformation."

Hozuki Izumo said, "Besides needing exceptional water-style talent, one must also drink a special potion."

"All members of our Hozuki clan learned the water transformation technique under such conditions."

"However, the Hozuki clan keeps the medicine very secret; no one except the clan leader and elders can access it."

"Very few people know the formula for the medicine."

Uehara Shu frowned slightly.

"How did the predecessors who created the water transformation technique learn it in the first place?"

"Minister, that's something else."

"That's what Hozuki Izumo said."

"According to the Hozuki clan's genealogy, the ancestors of the Hozuki clan must have eaten a type of fish that lived in the deep sea to have met that condition."

"Later, members of the Hozuki clan also tried, but the results were not ideal."

"Eating that kind of fish can indeed make one meet the requirements for learning the art of water transformation, but the success rate is incomparable to that of consuming the potion of the Hozuki clan."

"The difference is at least several tens of times."

"The requirements for water-style talent are much higher."

Uehara Shu's eyes flickered.

If there were other requirements, Uehara Osamu would still have concerns.

While it does require a talent for Water Release, Uehara Shu isn't worried at all.

Perform multiple forgings and receive multiple rewards.

Uehara Shu's Water Release talent had already reached its peak.

A talent of good caliber has a ceiling of Jonin level.

Excellent-level talent, with a ceiling of elite Jonin.

A talent of perfect caliber, with a potential ceiling reaching the Shadow level.

So, what about the ultimate level?

Without any limitations on basic attributes, Uehara Shu felt that he was definitely no worse than the Hozuki clan ninja who had developed the Water Transformation Technique.

"What fish?"

Hozumo pulled out a scroll.

turn on.

"Snapped!"

Then, a large fish appeared.

"Minister, I have already caught the fish in advance."

Uehara Osamu nodded slightly.

"well done."

Hozuki Izumo handled this matter to a degree that Uehara Osamu was satisfied with.

If Hozuki Izumo didn't reveal the fish's name beforehand and didn't catch it, requiring Uehara Shu to catch it on the spot, Uehara Shu certainly wouldn't say anything.

But they'll definitely think that Hozuki Izumo is incompetent.

Therefore, when forging the ninja sword, Uehara Shu wouldn't have given much thought to Hozuki Izumo.

Are there any rules about how to eat it?

"No."
