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

Chakra metal seeped into the skeleton.

A metallic luster appeared on the originally grayish-white skeleton.

As time went by and the smelting process continued, the skeleton of the monstrous creature shrank slightly compared to before.

However, in terms of strength, it is much stronger than before.

Extremely hard.

Three whole days.

Uehara Shusuke has completed the basic smelting process.

The frame is too big.

The larger the size, the longer it takes.

By the second day, the crew of the abandoned boat were already struggling to stay afloat.

Even if their responsibilities are merely auxiliary.

At this time, their respect for Uehara Osamu only grew stronger.

Uehara Osamu's skills far surpassed theirs.

The tasks that Uehara Osamu was responsible for were far more complex than those they were responsible for.

However, it wasn't until the third day that Uehara Shu's face showed obvious signs of fatigue.

"That's all for now. Everyone, take a break today."

"Yes, Minister."

Uehara Shu looked at the skeleton of the Manda after it was melted down.

The length has been reduced to eighty meters.

It has a diameter of four meters.

It's shrunk a lot.

It has a faint black color.

Uehara took a fish and gently nudged it against the skeleton and sharp teeth.

"Pfft!"

The sharp teeth on the skeleton can easily pierce the fish.

After that, Uehara Osamu brought out an ordinary katana.

He chopped down at the skeleton.

"Ding!"

In an instant, the katana broke.

"Its sharpness and hardness are both quite good."

"The surface also has an outer shell formed by lightning."

"Afterwards, once the tendons of the myriad snakes are melted and incorporated into the skeleton, its toughness will be enhanced."

"An energy storage circuit is not really needed because the amount of chakra metal it contains is enough, plus the inherent characteristics of this skeleton, but a scaling circuit is needed."

Uehara Shu looked at his Zudon Hammer.

There is a scaling circuit in the Hammer of Zudun.

Therefore, it can grow larger or smaller according to Uehara Shu's will.

The skeleton shrank somewhat after being melted down, but it was still enormous to humans.

It would certainly be inconvenient to carry around normally.

It doesn't need to be as flexible as the Zul'Dun Hammer; just having this functionality is enough.

"Shrink when carrying it."

"Enlarge during battle."

"By covering the skeleton with chakra, one can manipulate the skeleton."

"Whether it's an impact or a bite, the damage is astonishing."

"It can also surround itself to form a defense."

"It can be considered a ninja tool for both offense and defense."

"A handle needs to be added."

Uehara Shu looked at the end of the skeleton.

This is the very spot where the Fugu Demon used the Blood Blade to sever the tail of the Manda.

"Perfect, one part is missing here."

"A handle can be made of metal and connected to it."

Uehara Shu returned to the courtyard and sat under the sage orange tree.

After absorbing the nutrients from the flesh and blood of the Thousand Serpents, the Immortal Orange Tree grew noticeably taller, with deep green leaves that clearly indicated an overabundance of nutrients. It bloomed, withered, and began to bear fruit.

Small, hanging on the branches.

One day later.

"start!"

Uehara Shu and Arafune, along with a few others, got back into the swing of things.

The snake tendons melted into a viscous substance and gradually seeped into the skeleton.

The scales are attached to the outside of the skeleton.

This is to increase its sturdiness.

One-third of the handle is made of chakra metal.

Another two days passed.

"Finish!"

Uehara Shu gripped the hilt of the sword, and a surge of chakra flowed into it.

Chapter 242 Roar, Zabimaru!

Immediately, the sword began to twist.

It's like an incredibly agile snake.

In fact, it was a snake.

At this moment, the ninja sword in Uehara Osamu's hand is in a shrunken state.

It is two meters long and thin.

When used, it doesn't feel like a sword, but more like a whip.

Under the control of Uehara Osamu's chakra, it constantly changed direction.

"More flexible and easier to operate than a whip."

"Moreover, the bones are very sharp, like barbs."

"That's somewhat similar to Samehada."

"Once it lands on the enemy, at least some flesh will be torn off."

"Just based on that alone, it's already no worse than the lower-ranking ninja swords among the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist."

"However, this is just the norm."

Uehara Shu, carrying his ninja sword, came outside.

Huangchuan Er and the others followed.

Uehara Shu looked at a huge rock opposite him.

The next moment, even more chakra converged into his hand.

"boom!"

Visibly, the ninja sword in Uehara Osamu's hand was rapidly expanding.

It immediately reached a length of eighty meters and a diameter of four meters.

A hideous, terrifying skeletal snake appeared.

Just its appearance alone gives people a strong sense of oppression.

It's just the head part; some bones are missing, so it's entirely connected with metal, making the color appear darker than the surrounding areas.

but,

"boom!"

It crashed headfirst into the boulder.

In an instant, the boulder shattered.

"good."

Uehara Osamu revealed a satisfied smile.

Afterwards, Uehara Osamu controlled the giant skeletal snake to open its blood-red maw.

"Crack!"

A tree as thick as a person could hug was bitten in half by a giant skeletal snake.

The two men on the deserted ship were dumbfounded.

Such power far exceeded the expectations of Arafune and the others.

"So strong!"
