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

It was eerily quiet.

Uehara Osamu even smelled a faint fishy stench wafting from the front.

"Summon thugs!"

Immediately, three figures appeared beside Uehara Xiu.

Kaguya Shinsui, Ota, Hozuki Izumo.

And the Third Mizukage from the Skeleton King series.

"Minister, what should we do next?"

Kaguya Shinsui asked rather anxiously.

This is Kaguya Shinsui's first time entering the Dimensional Materials Dungeon.

Aside from curiosity, it's about valuing it.

From here, you can obtain the materials to forge a Zanpakuto.

If successful, it would not only mean that Uehara Shu could forge a new Zanpakuto, but also that he would have truly entered the core of Uehara Shu's camp.

He was able to gain Uehara Osamu's trust.

Therefore, Kaguya Shinsui did not want this mission to fail, or at least not to fail because of her own fault.

"wait a moment."

As Uehara Osamu finished speaking, a scene appeared before the three of them.

A peaceful and tranquil village.

The middle-aged people, having worked hard all day, were on their way home.

Some people were carrying hoes.

Some people were carrying firewood.

Some people were carrying fish baskets.

They returned from different directions, but all had smiles on their faces.

The wife at home has already started preparing dinner.

A thin wisp of black smoke drifted out of the chimney.

Children running around and playing.

A strong sense of rural life permeates the air.

Suddenly, an unusual figure appeared.

It walks upright and has a human-like appearance, but it is not human.

Bald, with short blue hairs growing on the back of his head.

Wearing green armor.

The eyeballs are large, and the pupils are blood red.

Upon entering the village, the massacre began.

Because their power far surpasses that of these ordinary villagers.

The villagers were utterly powerless against the dragon-men; they couldn't even escape and were destined to die one after another at their hands, becoming food—the old, the children, the men, and the women all perished.

The next moment, the screen disappeared.

Uehara Shu looked at Kaguya Shinsui.

"The mission we're tasked with is to kill this creature."

"Before taking action, we need to have a certain understanding of each other's strengths and capabilities."

"I'm roughly at the Jonin level, and I'm skilled in Water Release techniques."

Hozuki Izumo and Ota introduced themselves one after the other.

Kaguya Shinsui said, "I am skilled in physical combat. In addition, I have a certain level of expertise in genjutsu. My genjutsu system is similar to that of the Second Mizukage, which relies on water mist to create illusions."

"However, it is far less powerful than the Second Mizukage's illusion techniques."

Uehara Shu's brow twitched slightly.

This adds another layer of similarity between Kaguya Shinsui and Uchiha Shisui.

Uehara Osamu made some simple arrangements.

"Then Da Tian will use his water clone to lure the dragonman into the illusion created by the real water. Once the dragonman is trapped in the illusion, the rest of us will attack him with all our might!"

Enter the village.

The fishy stench in the air was noticeably stronger.

"The smell of blood was mixed with another kind of fishy smell."

"The scent of the dragon people."

Almost all living things have a certain body odor.

It's simply a matter of intensity and whether it smells good or bad.

Daejeon checked it out.

"The blood is still warm, so even if the monster has left the village, it shouldn't have been gone for too long."

As a former ANBU ninja, Ōta is an expert in this area.

"This direction."

The group followed the trail left by the dragon people and gave chase.

Until they entered the nearby woods.

A small stream.

A tall figure sat by the stream, next to a small mound of earth.

But upon closer inspection, everyone noticed that it wasn't a small mound at all, but rather a pile of human corpse fragments—the dragon people's food. On top of it, there was even a tiny, immature head.

His eyes widened, and his face showed fear.

Everyone's expression darkened slightly.

In the video, everyone has already witnessed the ferocity of the dragon people.

However, when they actually saw what the dragon people were doing and smelled the blood and flesh of those humans, everyone felt a new hatred for the dragon people.

Even if these people are not villagers of Kirigakure.

But at least they are human.

"Water Release: Genjutsu!"

Kaguya uses the True Water Seal.

Immediately afterwards, Ota also formed a hand seal.

"Water Release: Water Clone Technique!"

A figure identical to Ota appeared and approached the direction where the dragonman was.

Dragon people have very low vigilance, probably because they don't think anyone can threaten them.

Or perhaps you've just had a big meal and are a little groggy.

"Water Release: Water Fang Bullet Technique!"

A mass of water condensed into the shape of a spinning javelin, shooting straight towards the dragon-man.

"Ding!"

Upon impact, they felt as if they were made of metal.

The dragon-man suddenly awoke.

In an instant, it rushed to the water clone of Datian.

"Pfft!"

It swung its claw at Da Tian's water clone and shattered it instantly. This rendered the strategy of using the water clone technique to lure the dragonman into an illusion trap unworkable.

"This monster is incredibly strong!"

Moreover, the dragonman sniffed and discovered the field on the other side.

Da Tian's expression changed.

"Water Release: Water Wall Technique!"

A wall of water, unleashed by Uehara Osamu, blocked Ota's path.

However, it didn't hold the dragon people back for very long, and soon they broke through the water barrier.

Uehara Osamu frowned.

"Are dragon people really that strong?"

"Could it be an enhanced version?"

Just then, Hozuki Izumo made his move.

"Jud him! Thor is furious!"

A ball of lightning appeared above the dragon-man, and the powerful lightning struck down, instantly piercing through the dragon-man and rendering him stiff and unable to move.

Daejeon took the opportunity to widen the distance.

"Daejeon, over here."

Kaguya Shinsui's voice rang out.

Uehara Shu looked back and saw that Kaguya Shinsui had already set up the illusion.

"The mist was so thick it looked like a mirage!"

"Indeed, it belongs to the same series as Hozuki Gengetsu's illusions."
