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

The snake's head continued towards Yagura's location.

Yagura started running quickly.

Zabimaru followed closely behind Yagura.

Trees, buildings, frames

Nothing can stop Zabimaru.

They were all sent flying by the violent impact.

"Water escape, water dragon bullet technique!"

A water dragon appeared instantly.

The Water Dragon Bullet Technique is already considered a powerful ninjutsu for most ninjas, but compared to Snake Tail Maru, it seems so "weak".

The water dragon struck Zabimaru, only causing him to sway slightly.

However, Yagura's attack did not stop there.

"Water Release: Water Pillar Technique!"

A column of water appeared out of thin air.

It fell heavily from above, heading straight for the position of Hozumo Izumo.

Upon seeing this, Hozuki Izumo immediately recalled Zabimaru, which hovered above him, forming a cone-shaped shield.

"Boom!"

The water columns fell.

However, Zabimaru endured it all.

Hozuki Izumo was unharmed.

"Lightning Release: Snake Tail Roar!"

Then we saw that Zabimaru opened his mouth.

A beam of lightning appeared in Zabimaru's mouth, aimed at Yagura, and shot out fiercely.

"Water Release: Water Wall Technique!"

However, it was impossible to stop it.

Yagura had to dodge to the side before the lightning struck.

Because it was all done in such a hurry, they inevitably got some mud on their clothes and looked a bit disheveled.

If Hozuki Izumo were to attack Yagura again at this point, Yagura would at least suffer a minor loss.

Hozuki Izumo showed an excited expression.

"Lord Uehara, this sword is incredibly powerful."

When I heard Uehara Osamu say that Zabimaru was a Great Grade Sword, Hozuki Izumo didn't think much of him.

But now, Hozuki Izumo's attitude has completely changed.

"This great grade sword's power is no less than that of some Zanpakuto!"

Hozuki Izumo looked at Yagura, quickly retracted Zabimaru, and controlled Zabimaru to shrink.

"Lord Mizukage, are you alright?"

"No problem."

Yagura bit his head.

Then, their gaze fell on Zabimaru.

"Huge size".

"Strength and rigidity".

"Extremely powerful."

"A respectable speed."

""

"In close combat, having a ninja sword like this is an enormous advantage."

"Whether in attack or defense, it is impeccable."

"It even blocked my Water Pillar Technique."

Yagura had a very high opinion of Zabimaru.

In fact, Zabimaru is indeed very strong.

It's like a giant summoned beast.

Some giant summoned beasts may not have any special abilities; their sheer size and thick hide are enough to give them immense strength, making them extremely difficult to fight.

Zabimaru is smaller than Manda, but it is much harder.

After all, it incorporates metal and has undergone smelting.

In addition, there is another significant advantage.

That is, the monstrous snake is afraid of pain and is affected by pain.

But not Zabimaru.

And then there's Thor's furious lightning.

It's safe to say that there aren't many ninjas who could defeat Hozuki Izumo in close combat.

To defeat Hozuki Izumo, you either need to destroy Zabimaru.

Alternatively, we can bypass Zabimaru.

However, neither of these things is simple.

Even when facing ranged combat, Hozuki Izumo, relying on his Lightning Release, is not weak.

Now, if Hozuki Izumo were to face Orochimaru again, they wouldn't be at such a disadvantage.

Even if Orochimaru were to use Hozuki Izumo, there would be nothing he could do.

"However, the chakra consumption is quite high."

Hozuki Izumo looked at Yagura.

"Lord Mizukage, the Zabimaru created by Lord Uehara is indeed very powerful."

"However, my current chakra reserves are insufficient to support the use of Zabimaru and Raijin's Wrath for too long."

Yagura said, "Then Izumo, you'll have to train hard."

"Increase your chakra levels."

"In addition, improve your efficiency in using Raijin's rage and Zabimaru."

"Reduce chakra consumption."

"This will extend the usage time."

Hozuki Izumo nodded emphatically.

"Yes, Mizukage-sama."

Uehara Osamu glanced at it.

The first wave of reputation gained from Snake Tail Maru was significantly more than the first wave of reputation gained from Mist Blade.

It reached over 400.

Adding to his previous accumulated reputation, Uehara Osamu's reputation has now reached as high as 800.

"With the Mist Blade, the Serpent Tail, and the Staff of Enma that I'm going to gather materials for, reaching 4000 reputation points shouldn't be too difficult."

"I wonder which ninja the Divine Staff Enma will choose."

After resting for a few days, Uehara Shu took out the blueprints for the Divine Staff Enma.

However, the thugs used in the previous plan have been slightly changed.

Because the creation of the snake tail pill had delayed things considerably, Nakayoshi had already gone to the front lines again.

However, Hozuki Izumo's injuries had almost fully recovered during this time.

Uehara Osamu simply replaced Nakayoshi with Hozuki Izumo.

The three henchmen were Ota, Yoshikame Hoshigaki, and Izumo Hozuki.

Arrive at Forging Island.

"Lord Uehara."

Uehara Osamu nodded slightly.

Then, silently recite it in your mind.

"Enter the Dimensional Materials Dungeon!"

Fire Nation.

Konoha.

Hokage's office.

Orochimaru, Tobirama Senju, and Hiruzen Sarutobi sat around each other.

Tobirama Senju frowned.

"Hiruzen, you're saying you've encountered another new Zanpakuto?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

"Yes, that new Zanpakuto has a very special ability. It can absorb ninjutsu and then restore it. And Enma was seriously injured in order to break Hozuki Izumo's ability, so I only have ninjutsu left."

"That dragon scale sword is too effective against ninjutsu."

Tobirama Senju's brow furrowed even more deeply.
