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

"Xiu, how do you think we in Kirigakure should arrange our ninjas to fight against the ninjas of Konoha?"

"You are the creator of the Zanpakuto, I would like to hear your thoughts."

As he spoke, Yagura handed the pen to Uehara Osamu.

Chapter 247 Uehara Shu thanks Obito for the generous gift.

After hesitating for a moment, Uehara Osamu replied.

"Lord Mizukage, things on the battlefield are hard to predict. Just because we want someone to fight someone else doesn't mean it will definitely happen."

"Let me just briefly share my thoughts."

"If Senior Juzo and Senior Fuguki team up, the two of them should be able to hold off a Kage-level ninja."

"Their combined chakra levels are definitely not bad."

"The water provided by Fuguki-senpai was transformed into ice-style attacks by Juzo-senpai, greatly enhancing our defensive, offensive, and control capabilities."

"If Izumo were to unleash his full power with the power of Raijin's Wrath and Zabimaru, he could hold off a Kage-level opponent."

"The problem is that the time cannot be sustained for too long."

"Someone needs to fill this gap."

"It would be better if we cooperated with China and Kyrgyzstan."

"The problem between China and Kyrgyzstan also lies in the inability to sustain a prolonged outbreak."

The two of them have similar problems.

However, the reasons for the problems are different.

Hozuki Izumo's problem stemmed from insufficient chakra.

Zhongji, on the other hand, suffered from the side effects of using the Dragon Scale Blade.

"The Kisame team should be able to hold off a Kage-level ninja as well."

"Senior Qing and Senior Lei Ya can be paired together, albeit reluctantly."

"If it really comes to the point where our Hidden Mist Village needs to hold off ten top-tier ninjas, Lord Mizukage, you will definitely be on the battlefield at that time, and you will at least be able to hold off one of them."

Yagura nodded.

"It's natural."

"However, when you calculate it this way, our village's top ninjas are still quite a bit inferior to Konoha's top ninjas."

Yagura sighed.

"Konoha's 'resurrection' ninjutsu is truly unbeatable."

Without this ninjutsu, Konoha's overall strength, including ordinary ninjas, would be either last or second to last among the major ninja villages. However, the appearance of the Impure World Reincarnation has forcibly elevated Konoha's strength.

Yagura was quite helpless.

And I felt very frustrated.

It's like having already defeated your opponent in a normal battle.

But suddenly the other party used an extremely overpowered cheat.

“Lord Mizukage, the situation isn’t that bad.”

Uehara Osamu said, "Putting aside whether Konoha can resurrect so many people using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, the strength of these resurrected people is still different from their strength in life."

"It's not that strong."

"Moreover, we have an absolute advantage in the number of ordinary ninjas."

"The pressure shared by Kumogakure and Iwagakure should not be so little."

The strength of Konoha is not as great as Yagura imagines.

It might happen in the future, but perfecting the Impure World Reincarnation and implementing the Hashirama cell transplantation research plan will both take time.

Furthermore, the strength of Kirigakure is not limited to this.

Uehara Shu, the Third Mizukage, both possessed hidden strength.

Especially the Third Mizukage.

The Impure World Reincarnation technique is indeed perverse.

But can the soul truly withstand the power of aging?

Who can withstand the full force of the Skeleton King's attack?

"What you said makes sense, Xiu. I've just prepared for the worst."

Yagura paused for a moment.

"Shu, I've done some research on the Zanpakuto you forged."

"There are roughly two types."

"One type doesn't contain much energy itself, but it has the ability."

"The other type is one that not only has ability but also contains energy."

"The second method will give ninjas a greater boost in strength."

"Next, I'll repair the greatsword you forged."

"Blade of Destruction, Blade of Mist Grass, Serpent Tail."

"The better the materials, the better the ninja sword will be."

"I have an idea."

"Shu, can you use tailed beasts as materials to forge ninja tools?"

Uehara Shu had actually thought about this.

After all, a tailed beast is an extremely powerful condensation of chakra.

It possesses very strong energy.

They also have special abilities.

However, with his current strength and skills, Yuan Xiu cannot bind the power of the Tailed Beasts into a single ninja tool.

"Lord Mizukage, I've thought about that too, but I can't do it right now."

Uehara Osamu said, "In addition, I need the conditions and time to conduct relevant research. Currently, there are not many people in the forging department who can provide me with this kind of assistance."

"This is indeed a problem. The other blacksmiths in our village are all too disappointing."

Yagura hesitated for a moment, then said, "Shu, there's someone I'd like to introduce to you."

Uehara Shu was taken aback.

Then they saw Yagura waving outside.

Immediately, a figure walked in.

A young man, slightly thin, with a very rugged face, giving the impression of being chiseled.

Uehara Shu looked at the young man and felt a strange sense of familiarity.

"This is a precious tortoise."

Yagura explained, "It was in the Land of Water, where a highly skilled blacksmith created ninja tools with very special abilities under limited conditions."

"Because I heard about you, Xiu, I came to Kirigakure on my own initiative."

“I’ve seen that ninja tool. It has a similar ability to the Sword of Wisdom that you forged. It can extend and retract freely.”

"It can also be distorted and its angle changed."

"Very flexible."

Osamu Uehara: ""

Uehara Osamu remembered.

Takumi-nin Village.

The leader among the four celestial beings.

The so-called ninja tool is most likely the Dragon Eye Extendable Sword.

This person could not possibly be from the Land of Water.

This ninja tool was not made by the person in front of us named Treasure Turtle.

It was Seimei, the founder of Takumi-nin Village.

Uehara Shu now understood why Yagura had been pulling him aside and rambling on and on.

The village's strength is plain to see.

Yagura possessed all the information.

I, as a blacksmith, know less than Yagura, the Mizukage.

Especially the strength of the opponent.

Unless Yagura knew he was a time traveler.

But it's impossible.

All that I said before was just a prelude, to logically bring this precious tortoise to my side.

Uehara Shu immediately thought of Uchiha Obito.

This was definitely not Yagura's own idea.

Yagura and Takumi no Shinobi Village had no business dealings.

Uehara Shu's eyes flickered.

"Did Obito Uchiha find this person in Takumi Village and plant him there, intending to steal my techniques?"

"Unable to find an opportunity to kill me, you steal my skills?"
