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

"That is."

Zanpakuto said with a hint of pride, "Red-haired fat uncle, are you now planning to make your Zanpakuto my underling?"

"Never mind, the Water Dragon is a little shy."

The pufferfish ghost made up an excuse.

"How stingy."

The attitude of the Kirigakure members towards Kisame Hoshigaki has changed drastically.

They criticized Kisame Hoshigaki because of the loss of Kiriichimonji.

Now, it has turned into uniform praise.

A figure stood next to Ringo Ameyuri, looking at the slightly silent Ringo Ameyuri.

"Yuri, don't be upset. Kisame Hoshigaki is indeed powerful, but Yuri, you are still the number one among our younger generation of female ninjas."

"You are much stronger than Kurenai Yuhi from Konoha."

Ringo Amori looked up, her eyes somewhat blank.

"what?"

After waiting for a while, Ringo Ameyuri finally realized what was happening.

"Do you think I'm unhappy because Kisame-senpai returned?"

"Isn't it?"

"of course not."

Ringo Ameyuri said, "I'm not that narrow-minded. Besides, I'm a member of the Shinigami Squad just like Kisame-senpai. I'm just thinking about a question."

The female ninja next to her looked on with curiosity.

"what is the problem?"

Ringo Amori shook her head and didn't say anything.

The question of which ninjutsu path she will take in the future is still undecided, so Ringo Ameyuri doesn't want to talk about it.

Zabuza became even more anxious.

Previously, Kisame Hoshigaki had been suppressing Zabuza.

When Kisame lost Kiriichimonji, Zabuza thought he was about to become number one.

But Ringo Yuri directly parachuted into the air.

Kisame Hoshigaki is back now.

This means that he has not made any mistakes, has been making progress, and has actually reached the third position among the younger generation in Kirigakure.

No, it might not be the third one.

Hozuki Mangetsu, wielding a flounder, also possesses the ability to transform into water, making him extremely powerful.

Zabuza was uncertain whether he could defeat Hozuki Mangetsu.

Konoha army camp.

Kurenai looked dejected.

Mitarashi Anko herself suffered a crushing defeat, but she still comforted Yuhi Kurenai.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked at his severed arm with a very unpleasant expression.

"hateful!"

"why?"

Such a blow was simply unacceptable to Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who had always had a smooth life.

"Kisame Hoshigaki, I will definitely kill you!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke clenched his remaining fist tightly.

Danzo glanced at his waist.

There's a bloody hole above.

The kidneys inside were pierced through by the sword of wisdom.

Caught off guard, Danzo made no reaction.

The main problem is that the sword of wisdom is too fast and too sharp.

Danzo's face was grim.

Zanpakuto!

"We can't hesitate any longer about the blacksmith."

"We must deal with that blacksmith."

"At any cost!"

News of this great battle spread rapidly throughout the entire ninja world.

"2005!"

Uehara Shu's eyes lit up slightly as he looked at the suddenly increased reputation number on the semi-transparent screen in front of him.

"If there are no surprises, Kisame should have already arrived on the battlefield with the Sword of Wisdom."

"In one go, my reputation level was raised to over 2000."

"This means that a very good battle definitely took place, and they defeated a very strong Konoha ninja."

"I wonder who it could be."

"However, this is certainly not the end."

"The Sword of Wisdom will continue to bring me a certain increase in reputation."

"Also, I have a ninja sword blueprint that I haven't used yet."

Uehara Osamu smiled.

"Finally, the time has come when reputation is not so scarce."

A figure quickly entered.

"Senior Qing."

"Shu, the ninja that Juzo arranged for you has already arrived in the Land of Water."

"Then let's leave now."

"What about Lord Mizukage?"

"Let me tell the Mizukage first."

Uehara Shu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

The two then arrived at the Water Shadow Building.

"Mizukage-sama."

"Xiu, Qing, is something the matter?"

Yagura stopped what he was doing.

Uehara Osamu said, "Lord Mizukage, it's like this, I need to improve my forging skills, which requires the use of lightning-style chakra, but there are no ninjas in our village who are skilled in teaching lightning release."

"Therefore, I asked Senior Juzo to hire someone from outside."

Yagura asked with some concern, "Who? Is there any danger?"

Yagura held Uehara Osamu in high regard.

It can be considered the most important asset of Kirigakure at present.

One Zanpakuto after another brought immense help to Kirigakure.

“A wandering ninja named Kakuzu. We’ve worked with him once before, and since we’re in the Land of Water, not far from Kirigakure.”

"With the protection of the guards, there should be no need to worry about safety."

Yagura hesitated for a moment.

"Then I'll send another ANBU ninja squad."

"Thank you, Lord Mizukage."

It's the same spot as last time.

It's the same courtyard as last time.

Uehara Osamu and Ao walked in.

The guards are all outside.

"Kakuzu-senpai, it's nice to meet you again."

Kakuzu looked at Uehara Shu, feeling a slight headache coming on, but thinking of the commission fee, he nodded in agreement.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Chapter 166 Yagura, I have a successor!

Before Uehara Shu could speak, Kakuzu spoke first.

"It's settled then, this time I'll only teach you one Lightning Release ninjutsu, just one."

"Teach me and then leave."

"I will absolutely not teach a second one."

Uehara Osamu shrugged.

"can."

With his excellent Lightning Release talent, Uehara Shu doesn't necessarily need to learn two Lightning Release ninjutsu.
