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

A series of knocking sounds rose and fell.

Uehara Osamu glanced at it.

The biggest difference between the blacksmiths who came for the assessment this time and those who came before was their attitude. They were very serious, with solemn expressions, and dared not slack off in the slightest.

I cherish this opportunity very much.

Moreover, they are extremely optimistic about the future of the blacksmiths in the forging department.

Now everyone in Kirigakure knows that no matter what happens, the forging department will not decline.

It's not just about Osamu Uehara alone.

Given the circumstances in the Land of Iron, it's impossible to replicate scalpels and broadswords in a short period of time.

Even after the war ended and peacetime arrived, the forging department still had no shortage of business.

"I finished!"

A middle-aged blacksmith, having just finished forging, couldn't wait to raise his hand.

However, the blacksmith next to him seemed to be affected.

The progress was already not ideal, and under such pressure, a mistake was made, causing the entire work to be destroyed instantly, without even a chance to participate in the final test.

The young man held his head, squatted on the ground, and looked extremely frustrated.

"I'm done too!"

The blacksmiths completed their work one after another.

Uehara Osamu gestured to Arafune.

Then, members of the guard team helped transport the fish in one by one and hung them on the rack. Their blue scales looked unusual and they were not ordinary fish.

"Test the knife, begin!"

As Uehara Shu's voice fell, the blacksmith Qi Sheng stepped forward.

He swung the knife in his hand and slashed fiercely at the fish in front of him.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"when!"

Suddenly, the moment a knife touched the fish's body, the immense force of the impact caused the otherwise sturdy knife to break in two, with half of the blade flying off.

The sword-forging competition has once again turned into a sword-breaking competition.

"Minister, watch out!"

A member of the guard saw the broken blade flying towards where Yuan Xiu was and quickly shouted a warning.

The blacksmith who forged the broken sword was extremely worried.

Injuring Uehara Shu is a serious matter.

Whether or not there will be a punishment is another matter.

The blacksmith was worried that he would be disliked by Uehara Osamu and thus lose the opportunity to join the blacksmith island forever.

This is something he cannot accept.

The job at Forging Island is a very good one right now.

Their treatment, status, and reputation far surpassed those of ordinary ninjas.

Uehara Shu looked at the incoming blade without any change in expression.

If this kind of attack can be considered an attack, then it's far too weak.

Uehara Shu's basic attributes have reached the level of Jonin.

With a combination of strengths and advantages from various factors, he can definitely be considered an elite Jonin.

Osamu Uehara flicked his finger.

Immediately, a water droplet flew towards the blade.

The blade was deflected.

"continue!"

It was just a minor accident; Uehara Shu wouldn't make a fuss about it.

"Yes, Minister!"

After the interviews, the three blacksmiths stayed on Forging Island.

Uehara Shu led all the blacksmiths into the forging room.

"Shinnosuke-senpai, what is the club president doing?"

An apprentice blacksmith, who knew Tanaka Shinnosuke, couldn't help but ask.

"Minister, you're going to show us the complete process of forging a fine and sharp knife. This is a rare opportunity. In fact, we're the ones who benefited from your efforts."

"The Minister will only demonstrate once a new blacksmith joins the team."

"But it's just that Minister's time is too precious."

"There are too many things that require Your Excellency's personal attention."

"Since arriving at this forging island, I haven't seen the Minister rest much."

"Moreover, the Minister is completely open-minded and doesn't hold back at all, unlike the blacksmiths on Forging Island before."

Uehara Osamu doesn't hold back his knowledge because he's not worried that anyone can catch up with him.

These people are all learning Uehara Osamu's teachings.

The fact that Uehara Shu is bound to the Forging Island means that Uehara Shu will always be at a higher level than the skills he already possesses.

There's also the bonus from God's Hand.

Even if these people learn all of Uehara Shu's teachings, they still won't surpass him.

The people on Forging Island were different.

"Watch carefully, and how much you learn depends on your own comprehension."

"Understood, thank you Shinnosuke-senpai!"

"Finally, the research is almost complete."

Orochimaru rubbed his temples, looking exhausted.

These days, the rest of Konoha are risking their lives to stop the attacks of the armies of the three great ninja villages.

Orochimaru, too, gave it his all, barely taking a break.

"The art of reincarnation from dirty soil!"

Chapter 225 Even Kirigakure Can Have Geniuses (Zanpakuto)

As Orochimaru formed hand seals, a surge of chakra erupted and landed on the kneeling death row inmate before him.

Then, I saw it.

The ground where the condemned prisoner was kneeling suddenly began to surge like water, and the soil on the ground spread and climbed up along the prisoner's body.

The death row inmate showed an expression of extreme fear.

Knowing that you are going to die is one thing.

Watching death approach you is another matter entirely.

This instilled great fear in the condemned prisoners.

"Is this the Impure World Reincarnation technique?"

Not far away, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane stood in formation.

"It is indeed a very cruel ninjutsu."

“A living human life was sacrificed.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi had a serious expression.

"Therefore, the Impure World Reincarnation technique cannot be used casually; it must be used under supervision, and every time it is used, one must be extremely cautious."

Soon, the soil completely covered and buried the condemned prisoner.

A completely new figure appeared.

"Light?"

"Here is, where?"

She had short white hair shaped like a hedgehog, and a white fur scarf that looked like some kind of fox fur product, or perhaps some kind of dog, with a slight difference in color between it and her hair.

He was wearing a black ninja bodysuit.

He wore a set of dark blue combat armor on the outside.

Eyes sharp.

The first thing I did upon opening my eyes was to take a look around.

"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique? Who are you people?"

Senju Tobirama frowned.

This ninjutsu was developed by Tobirama Senju.

However, this does not mean that Tobirama Senju liked others using this ninjutsu on him.

"Tobirama-senpai, I am Orochimaru, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha."

"Naruto?"

Orochimaru nodded.
