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

A group of rocks came into Uehara Shu's view.

Wave after wave crashed against the reef.

"But it's not turbulent enough!"

Uehara Shu stepped onto the surface of the sea.

Chakra gathered on his feet, making it feel like walking on flat ground.

Then, form hand seals.

"Water Release: Exploding Water Wave Technique!"

The next moment, the sea surface suddenly surged, as if a volcano had suddenly erupted in the seabed, with seawater constantly gushing up from below.

"Now that's what you call a big wave."

"Water escape, water dragon bullet technique!"

A water dragon appeared, solidified and not dissipating, hovering in mid-air beside it.

Uehara Osamu's figure stood atop the dragon's head.

Then, he reached out and beckoned.

Zudun's Hammer was now in his hands.

Uehara Osamu mimicked the surging of the waves, swinging the hammer in his hand.

One hammer blow, two hammer blows, three hammer blows

It keeps repeating itself endlessly.

into the night.

Back in the forge, Uehara Osamu began smelting the materials.

Using earth and fire chakra, the metal is smelted, impurities are expelled and flow away with the magma, and both fire and earth chakra are infused into the metal.

Until midnight.

Uehara Shuu stopped.

Go back to the room.

The next day, when Uehara Osamu woke up, it was already close to noon.

Yesterday, Uehara Osamu overexerted himself a bit in order to complete the smelting of the materials.

"Your Excellency, Minister."

Kaguya sent the porridge prepared in the kitchen over.

"Thank you."

Uehara Shu took it and drank a small sip.

The aroma of fish and shrimp wafted into my nostrils.

Immediately, Uehara Shu felt that the fatigue in his entire body had been relieved a lot.

"Your Excellency, Minister."

Kaguya Izumi hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help saying, "Isn't the village doing alright now? Minister, you don't need to work so hard. You should take better care of your health."

Is the situation good?

From the perspective of the other villagers in Kirigakure, the situation in Kirigakure is indeed quite good.

Zanpakuto created a group of top-tier ninjas.

However, Uehara Osamu knew perfectly well.

The situation is far from optimistic.

Akatsuki's Infinite Tsukuyomi plan aimed to trap everyone in an illusion, transforming them into beings like White Zetsu.

Otsutsuki Toneri on the moon wants to reset the world.

There's also the Otsutsuki clan from beyond the heavens, who see the entire ninja world as nourishment.

These events certainly didn't happen that quickly.

Therefore, Uehara Shu had relaxed a little for a while.

However, the changes in Konoha made Uehara Shu worry again.

A corrupted version of Konoha can really become very strong.

At that time, if Konoha retaliates against Kirigakure, Kirigakure will face immense pressure.

Putting everything else aside, just the Edo Tensei version of Hashirama Senju alone would be difficult to deal with.

Perhaps initially, due to the imperfections of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Hashirama Senju's strength was not very high.

Just like in the original story, when Orochimaru invaded Konoha and was reincarnated as Hashirama Senju.

Orochimaru, Hashirama Senju, and Tobirama Senju, even fighting three against one Hiruzen Sarutobi, still couldn't defeat him.

However, the Impure World Reincarnation technique can be perfected.

Orochimaru's research abilities are very strong.

"In the original storyline, even with a lack of information, materials, and support, very good results could still be achieved."

"Now that Konoha has made Orochimaru Hokage, they will definitely give him plenty of support."

"Furthermore, given the current situation, if Orochimaru were to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique, he would likely resurrect Tobirama Senju, meaning there would be two researchers conducting joint research."

"We will definitely be able to achieve faster progress."

"Konoha has too many talented people."

At times like these, Uehara Shu couldn't help but sigh.

Konoha has never lacked talent in any era.

Even in numerous wars, Konoha was fighting against multiple major ninja villages simultaneously.

In the First Shinobi World War, Konoha was practically fighting four against one.

The same was true for the Second Shinobi World War.

During the Third Shinobi World War, Konoha gained an ally in Sunagakure, but in the early stages, they had actually fought against Sunagakure as well.

Even under such circumstances, Konoha was still able to retain many talented individuals.

Once the door to Impure World Reincarnation is opened...

Therefore, the number of top-tier ninjas in Konoha will surpass the combined number of the other four ninja villages.

Konoha will easily regain its position as the number one ninja village.

"Furthermore, even in the early stages when the Impure World Reincarnation was not fully developed, Konoha actually had another powerful weapon."

"That is, Tobirama Senju, who multiplied the explosive tags."

"Mutual explosion tags, this is a rather ruthless ninjutsu, even I cannot escape it."

"Therefore, under normal circumstances, using this ninjutsu is no different from suicide."

"Can only be used once in a lifetime."

"However, once you become an Edo Tensei body, the situation is different."

"A reanimated body cannot die."

Even if it suffers a "fatal injury," such as losing half of its head, it can repair itself.

“Once Tobirama Senju uses the Mutual Explosion Tags, even sealing will be impossible.”

"Any kind of seal can be blown to smithereens."

"The only way to deal with Tobirama Senju is to eliminate Orochimaru, who is using magic."

"But, without destroying Konoha, we can't defeat Orochimaru."

Orochimaru is also skilled at preserving his life.

"If you were to say that my blacksmith system is a cheat code..."

"The corrupted version of Konoha is undoubtedly also cheating."

"Even simpler and more direct cheats."

Uehara Shuu nodded to Kaguya Izumi.

"I knew what I was doing. Yesterday it just happened to be that time, so I was itching to finish my work before I could rest. You go ahead and do your work, I'll sit down and rest for a bit."

After finishing his porridge, Uehara Osamu said he was going to rest, but he didn't actually rest.

Instead, he took out several ninja swords.

Long knife and sewing needle.

Thunder Fang.

Shark muscle.

A blunt knife is used to cut.

Exploding blade spray.

Apart from Hiramekarei, which was taken away by the "traitorous ninja" Hozuki Mangetsu, and Duantou, which was taken away by Taketori Neko, the rest of the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure all ended up with Uehara Osamu after the Hozuki clan was "extinct".

"The material of this blunt knife is very hard."

"But because we were worried that the user might not have enough strength, we included a hammer."

"Use the power of the hammer to apply a second layer of force."

"In order to achieve the possibility of breaking through the enemy's defenses."

"However, if it's used in conjunction with the Rock Stream, then the hammer isn't needed."

"The hammer is superfluous."

"Using a blunt blade as material, a horse-slaying sword can be forged that surpasses the level of a fine sword and reaches the level of a great sword."
