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

If Kirigakure still needs Uehara Shu to carry out attacks, then it means that Kirigakure is a complete failure, and Uehara Shu, the blacksmith, is a complete failure.

The ability to survive is what's more important for Uehara Shu.

Moreover, even when it comes to the point where it is necessary to attack the original source.

Uehara Shu's water-style techniques are sufficient to handle the situation.

Uehara Shu had a good attitude; even though the progress was slow, he was making steady progress.

This contrasts sharply with Kakuzu, who is trapped in torment.

Kakuzu felt that he had lost a lot of hair.

His eyes lost their sparkle.

She looked very haggard.

It's like a young person who's been burning the midnight oil for a month straight, constantly applying glue and exhausting themselves.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Upon hearing the news of the great victory, Yagura suddenly stood up, overwhelmed with excitement.

"Great."

Unlike the Third Mizukage, Yagura's emotional expressions are much more obvious.

"Easily defeat the combination of Kurenai Yuhi and Anko Mitarashi first."

"Sever another arm of Sarutobi Shinnosuke."

"Even that old guy Danzo Shimura was defeated."

"Kisame's strength has completely reached the level of a top-tier ninja."

"At this age, to have reached such strength, it is inevitable that he will reach the level of Kage in the future."

"I have an heir!"

This statement is somewhat ambiguous. What Yagura meant was probably that there is a successor.

The ANBU ninja below muttered to himself.

However, after Yagura took over, the ANBU ninjas had been with him for a long time and had become somewhat accustomed to his "nonsense" in speech.

However, this is indeed the same as the significance of the kingdom's king having an heir for Kirigakure.

Yagura was not worried that Kisame Hoshigaki would become too powerful and threaten his master too quickly.

One reason is that Yagura himself was still in his prime.

Another point is that the persimmon clan and the tangerine clan are related by marriage.

Kisame Hoshigaki's fiancée was a woman from the Karatachi clan.

The Third Kazekage has gone missing, throwing Sunagakure into chaos.

Despite the disappearance of the Third Mizukage, Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) was able to stabilize.

The biggest difference is that when the Third Kazekage disappeared, neither Rasa nor Pakura had the ability to immediately succeed him as Kazekage, but when the Third Mizukage disappeared, Yagura did.

The presence of a reserve Kage in a ninja village can make everyone in the village feel more at ease.

"And the sword of wisdom."

"It's truly remarkable that Xiu can forge a sword of wisdom!"

The entire Hidden Mist Village was talking about this.

"True genius!"

"The number one among the younger generation!"

"No, it's beyond the scope of the younger generation."

"Our own Minato Namikaze from Kirigakure!"

"It's no longer appropriate to refer to Kisame Hoshigaki as the Bloodthirsty Shark."

"The scene of controlling thousands of sharks to attack the Konoha ninjas was absolutely breathtaking!"

"King of Sharks!"

"That's a good title."

"And then there's the Zanpakuto, the Sword of Wisdom, forged by the master blacksmith in the forging department. Only then could Kisame Hoshigaki reach this level, and the Sword of Wisdom is even more important."

"Now it's completely certain that the Zanpakuto is far stronger than the Seven Ninja Swords."

"The Death Squad is far stronger than the Seven Ninja Swordsmen."

"The current master blacksmith is far superior to the master blacksmith of that time."

Some people couldn't help but mock the Hozuki clan.

"The Hozuki clan is too foolish to have chosen the Seven Ninja Swords and thus sever themselves from Zanpakuto."

The Hozuki clan, who had already lost their Executioner's Blade, became even more frustrated after hearing these remarks.

However, they couldn't refute it.

In fact, many members of the Hozuki clan believe that Hozuki Kazuhiko's initial decision was wrong.

In response to such voices, Hozuki Kazuhiko displayed his tough approach.

"I have my own plans."

"Everything I've done is for the long-term benefit of the Hozuki clan."

"To pledge allegiance to a Zanpakuto? That's nothing but drinking poison to quench thirst!"

"If anyone is dissatisfied, they should be kicked out of the Hozuki clan."

"My Hozuki clan has no need for things that are disloyal to the clan."

Yunyin Village.

The Fourth Raikage glanced in the direction of the Land of Water, his eyes flickering.

"It seems that Kirigakure is indeed worth paying attention to now."

"Any progress on the plan to investigate the blacksmith and the Zanpakuto?"

The ninja below reports.

"Reporting to Raikage, Kirigakure has done a good job of protecting that blacksmith, and ever since the incident where Taketori Neko stole Kiriichimonji, the members of the Shinigami Squad have almost never been alone."

"It's very difficult to obtain intelligence."

Needless to say, as the person in charge of the front line between Kirigakure and Sunagakure, Kirigakure has no shortage of ninjas by his side.

Then there's Suigetsu Hozuki and Kurosuki Raiga.

The situations of Suigetsu-yama Fugu-ki and Hibiki Juzo are similar.

As for Kurosu Raiga, his current style is quite sleazy.

If you want to fight, fine, but first find a safe location and safe conditions.

The current Raiga Kurosugi would never risk his life in a fight.

Dried persimmon and Kisame, Ringo rain by Lee.

He has regained his position as the number one among the younger generation.

One is the young generation's number one female ninja.

The Hidden Mist Army held both of them in high regard.

"The Cat Taker"

The Fourth Raikage pondered for a moment.

"Send someone to find the Taketori Neko and try to make contact with it."

Previously, the Fourth Raikage did not think that the Taketori Neko was worth contacting, because in his view, the Taketori Neko was probably not the real culprit who wiped out the Taketori clan, but rather a scapegoat for Kirigakure.

It's incredibly difficult for a single ninja to wipe out an entire ninja clan overnight.

The Kaguya clan is not some small ninja family.

However, the Fourth Raikage's thoughts changed after the Taketori Neko attacked Kisame Hoshigaki and stole Kiriichimonji.

Furthermore, the Fourth Raikage also heard that the Hozuki clan was attacked, a young genius was killed, and the Executioner's Blade was lost; this was also done by Taketori Neko.

Take both of these into account.

The Fourth Raikage felt that even though the Taketori Neko had previously taken the blame for Kirigakure, his thoughts might have changed now.

"Yes, Lord Raikage."

Iwagakure Village.

Onoki's thoughts were similar to those of the Fourth Raikage.

After failing to gain any information from infiltrating Kirigakure and investigating the members of the Shinigami Squad, they turned their attention to the Taketori Neko, believing that the Taketori Neko might be a good breakthrough point.

Standing on high ground, Onoki recalled some things from long ago.

The Second Tsuchikage, Mu, perished in a battle with the Second Mizukage.

"It is said that Hozuki Mangetsu's talent is no less than that of Hozuki Gengetsu in his prime."

"It's alright now, the Hozuki clan and Zanpakuto are at odds. Otherwise, Hozuki Mangetsu, who obtained a Zanpakuto, would definitely improve much faster and become much stronger."

"It might even surpass Hozuki Gengetsu in its prime once it matures."

"However, the Hozuki clan is ultimately still a member of Kirigakure."

"If the Hozuki clan were to combine with a Zanpakuto, how terrifying would that be?"

Onoki was very worried about this.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Onoki's mind.
