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

Even after using the Rock Technique, the Manatee still had to retreat several steps before stopping in the face of Yagura's attack, with one hand braced against its back.

Kisame Hoshigaki helped the Manatee Karakachi regain its balance.

Simultaneously.

"Water Release: Water Prison Technique!"

A water sphere enveloped Yagura.

Yagura quickly retreated.

This is what makes Kisame's team special.

Not only do they need to break through Kisame's team's defenses, but they also need to be wary of Kisame Hoshigaki's water-style attacks. Even with a significant numerical advantage, this remains the case.

The three—Gouju, Manatee, and the others—were like a wall.

After being forced to retreat, Yagura changed direction.

Together with a replica of the Water Mirror Technique, they attacked Kaguya Tadamachi.

In an instant, Kaguya's pressure increased dramatically.

Kisame Hoshigaki immediately came to the rescue.

But, at this time.

"Water escape."

Yagura used a diversionary tactic.

To attract Kisame Hoshigaki's attention.

Yagura's true objective was to defeat the Manatee with ninjutsu.

The Rock Style excels in defensive physical techniques and swordsmanship.

However, it is not as effective against ninjutsu.

Kisame Hoshigaki noticed this.

On one hand, he uses the sword of wisdom to help Kaguya alleviate the pressure of being overwhelmed by adversity.

He used Water Release to defend against the Water Release technique used by Yagura.

"liberation!"

Kaguya's power had reached its peak.

A semi-circular flash of light appeared.

"boom!"

The replica of Kaguya was sent flying backwards by the impact of this enormous force.

Yagura's Water Mirror Technique can replicate everything.

But the rock flow is special.

Even if a copy can also use the Rock Flow technique, the Rock Flow technique can only accumulate momentum when defending.

During an attack, it is impossible to accumulate.

This meant that even though the clone used an equal amount of chakra when it saw Kaguya use her "Liberation" ability, it couldn't replicate the power.

The clone was severely injured, and Yagura felt his chakra instantly diminish.

This is the chakra required for the repair of the replica.

Yagura narrowed his eyes slightly.

"If you can't break through their defenses, you can't defeat Kisame's team."

"Ninjutsu methods are completely ineffective."

"Physical skills still have a chance."

"The rock flow is indeed very strong."

"However, the strength of these Kisame Squad members is not strong enough."

"Therefore, if I attack with all my might, I can still break through."

Yagura swung his iron staff, attacking the manatee with extremely high frequency.

one after another.

The sounds of metal clashing seemed to blend together as one.

The power of the tangerine-scented turtle grew ever stronger.

However, after reaching a certain limit, it stops growing.

stopped.

This made the manatee feel very aggrieved, and its face turned bright red.

They've clearly built up enough momentum, but they just can't find an opportunity to unleash it.

It's like playing baseball with the help of alcohol. You've successfully reached first and second base, and you're just one step away from third base, but you just miss it by a little bit.

The body of the jujube turtle continued to retreat.

"Break it for me!"

Suddenly, the jujube turtle could no longer hold on.

Once a breach is made in the defense line, the rest becomes much more vulnerable.

"Lord Mizukage, we have lost."

Kisame Hoshigaki gave up.

Yagura nodded and calmed his breathing.

"It's already very good."

They defeated Kisame's team, but Yagura's victory was far from easy.

Moreover, this is only because Kisame's team has just been formed. Once Kisame and the three guards become more familiar with each other and have better chemistry, the three guards will have a better grasp of the Rock Style.

Then the situation would be different.

Currently, the three members of the guard team are still considered to be a hindrance.

Master Yuan commented.

"Kisame alone is probably only close to Kage level."

"It is only through the unique properties of the Sword of Wisdom that one can contend with a Kage-level ninja."

"But Kisame's team has already reached the level of Kage."

This test not only confirmed the strength of Kisame's team, but also revealed the immense potential of the Iwaki-ryu style to both Genshi and Yagura.

"Xiu, I plan to set up a special department to learn the Rock Style sword technique."

"As one of the main directions for the village's future ninjas."

"This swordsmanship style is quite effective."

"Besides being able to cooperate with other ninjas, it can also be combined with one's own ninjutsu."

"There is much to be done on the battlefield."

"As for broadswords, is Forging Island keeping up?"

Uehara Osamu smiled.

"Lord Mizukage, I will do my utmost."

This is exactly what Uehara Osamu wanted.

Increase your reputation through the Rockfall.

Compared to Zanpakuto, Ryokaito is not as impressive, and naturally provides Uehara Osamu with less prestige.

However, a Zanpakuto can only be contracted with one ninja at a time.

The reputation that a Zanpakuto can provide to Uehara Shu has an upper limit.

A fine, fast knife can be used by many people.

The more ninjas who embark on the path of the Rock Style, the more ninjas will wield broadswords.

Over time, this will undoubtedly provide Uehara Osamu with a fairly good reputation boost.

"Xiu, then I'll have to trouble you."

During wartime, speed is paramount in everything we do.

On that day, Yagura allocated a small island to him.

It's not far from Forging Island.

This area was once the commercial territory of the Bamboo Clan, but with the decline of the clan, the commerce there gradually disappeared, and it is now basically in a state of ruin.

Therefore, Yagura can be used directly.

"A fine tortoise."

"Your Excellency, Minister."

Uehara Shu looked at Hoshigaki Yoshikazu and said, "Under the orders of the Mizukage, the Rock Dojo is established."

“I will serve as the head of the dojo.”

"Starting today, we will recruit students and conduct special training."

Uehara Osamu originally intended to simply appoint Hoshigaki Yoshiki as the dojo master.

But Yagura did not agree.

Yagura's original words were that Yoshikazu Hoshigaki's qualifications were limited, and he was not qualified to be the head of this dojo, nor could he command the respect of the people. Only if Shu became the head of the dojo could more ninjas be attracted.

Yoshiki Hoshigaki could be the specific instructor.

Uehara Osamu thought about it and agreed.
