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

The woman was stunned for a moment, her heart skipped a beat.

“He’s gone.”

Hiashi Hyuga sighed.

"Just during the last battle between the village and the Hidden Mist ninja, Hizashi was attacked by Raiga Kurosuki. Ringo Ameyuri seized the opportunity and used Aoe Namazu to kill Hizashi."

"Because the scene was too chaotic, even the bodies couldn't be found."

"Condolences."

The woman's eyes widened.

This news was a huge blow to the woman.

The woman and Hyuga Hizashi had not been married for very long.

Neji is only a year old now.

Suddenly, news of Hyuga Hizashi's death arrived.

When the breadwinner of a family is gone, how do they live their lives from now on?

The woman looked bewildered and somewhat at a loss.

Hinata Hiashi left.

The woman returned to her room, her eyes red and swollen, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Neji crawled toward the woman, babbling incoherently, completely oblivious to everything.

For this family, this is undoubtedly a tragedy.

However, such tragedies do not only befall women.

It happened in countless places throughout the ninja world.

This is the ninja world.

This is war.

"Earth Release: Earth Spear Technique!"

Uehara Shu condensed earth-attribute chakra onto his arm.

The next moment, Uehara Shu's arm suddenly turned black.

It's like having an extra layer of armor.

Uehara Shu clenched his fist and slammed it forward.

"boom!"

Instantly, with the support of immense power, the stones in front of them crumbled.

"It's done!"

Uehara Shu's eyes lit up.

"This earthen spear technique is quite good!"

Under normal circumstances, when a ninja's fist strikes a stone, it will inevitably cause immense pain.

After all, we are made of flesh and blood.

But just now, Uehara Shu didn't feel any intense pain.

Rather, it's about the level of tolerance.

With the enhancement of the Earth Spear Technique, Uehara Osamu's fist was not even injured.

"Finally learned it."

Kakuzu let out a long sigh.

Kakuzu has been having a very difficult time lately.

Uehara Shu's talent in Earth Release is comparable to his talent in Fire Release.

Moreover, when Uehara Shu last learned Fire Release, he started with a simpler ninjutsu.

But this time, we're starting directly with the highly difficult Earth Escape technique.

Therefore, it took more time.

Kakuzu felt that if he stayed in this position any longer, he might go bald.

"The deal is done. Give me my payment, and I'll leave today."

Uehara Osamu smiled and gestured to Ao.

Ao then handed the prepared money to Kakuzu.

"Kakuzu-senpai, are you not going to continue?"

"No, no, goodbye."

Kakuzu fled in panic.

"No, it means never again."

In the blink of an eye, it vanished without a trace.

Uehara Shu shook his head.

"Senior Qing, let's go back too."

"it is good."

The small team headed towards the direction of Kirigakure Village.

With the forging department's guards and the ANBU ninja squad dispatched by Yagura, Uehara Osamu's entire ninjutsu learning process proceeded smoothly without any disturbance.

As he walked, Uehara Shu took stock of his current ninjutsu abilities.

First is water escape.

Uehara Shu has basically mastered all the common water-style techniques used in Kirigakure.

Water Dragon Bullet, Water Prison, Water Whip, Rain Slash, Water Burst Wave, Water Barrier

Next came the water transformation technique, and then the water curtain technique I learned this time.

Fire Release techniques include Red Earth Spider and Flame Whirlwind.

Earth Escape Technique includes the use of an earth spear.

Lightning Release includes the techniques of False Darkness and Lightning Whip.

The Lightning Whip Technique is Kakuzu's hand grenade technique.

Uehara Osamu changed his name.

In Uehara Osamu's view, this ninjutsu is very similar to the Water Release: Water Whip Technique.

They all come from the hand and can be swung like a whip.

In addition, the combination of Breathing Technique and Zudon's Hammer was also classified by Uehara Osamu as one of his ninjutsu.

Upon returning to the forging island, Uehara Shu immediately devoted himself to upgrading the Chakra Melting Technique.

Arrive at the furnace.

A piece of metal is placed inside.

"Chakra Fusion Technique!"

Uehara Osamu extended both hands at the same time.

One hand, made of fire-style chakra.

The other hand is made of lightning-attribute chakra.

Both types of chakra rushed into the furnace simultaneously.

Under Uehara Osamu's control, it entered the metal as the smelting process proceeded.

Uehara Shu did not directly allow two different types of chakra to enter the same area.

Instead, they entered two areas.

Two adjacent regions.

This will make it slightly easier.

After the chakra power enters, the two parts of the metal will be fused together.

In terms of efficiency, this would be significantly less efficient.

However, if the difficulty is reduced, the probability of success will increase.

"Failed."

Uehara Shu looked at the metal that suddenly exploded in front of him, with a large amount of magma mixed in. Even the furnace almost collapsed under the impact.

It didn't break, but it's unusable now; there's already a large crack.

But Uehara Shu didn't get angry at all; instead, he smiled.

Because the smelting just now did fail, but Uehara Shu had already seen how to succeed.

In other words, the path has already been explored.

It was just a slip.

"Come again."

Without hesitation, Uehara Shu took out another piece of metal.

With no issues regarding stamina or chakra, Uehara Shu didn't want to waste any more time.

"Chakra Fusion Technique!"

Two streams of chakra surged into the metal.

A scorching heat emanated from the smelting process.

Uehara Osamu could see flames and lightning intertwining inside.
