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

Was I really here to infiltrate and steal technical skills?

Or are they here to do hard labor?

"Could it be that Uehara Osamu suspects me?"

"No, impossible. If he were suspected, Uehara Shu would never have let me participate in such a core task as the forging department. Good, sharp, and broad blades are very important to Kirigakure."

"So, it's simply that the forging department isn't manpower enough, or that the forgers in the department aren't skilled enough?"

The tortoise glanced back at the direction of the forging room and gritted its teeth.

"Then I'll persevere a little longer."

The country of Sichuan.

"A mission from Kirigakure?"

Kakuzu looked at the person in front of him and instinctively wanted to refuse.

Kakuzu felt that this was likely another commission from the professor.

But Kakuzu really didn't want to teach anymore.

The professor's mastery of Fire Release techniques left Kakuzu in a real bind.

The professor's mastery of Lightning Release left Kakuzu in disbelief.

The professor who used Earth Release techniques now suffers from a splitting headache.

Kakuzu just couldn't understand it. Uehara Shu's talent for Lightning Release was so high, why didn't he just learn Lightning Release directly instead of learning all that random Fire Release and Earth Release?

What's the use of learning this?

With that time and energy, I would have learned countless lightning techniques by now.

It's a complete waste.

What's wrong with specializing in Lightning Release?

The rough-around-the-edges ninjas of Kumogakure, aren't they just rampaging around by relying on their lightning release technique?

"No, I won't accept any missions from your Hidden Mist Village."

Kakuzu waved his hand repeatedly.

"Lord Kakuzu, the reward for this mission is very generous."

Kakuzu hesitated for a moment.

"How generous?"

"Kidnapping two people will earn a reward of three million taels of silver."

"A mere three million taels"

He thought it was a great fortune, but a mere three million taels of silver is nothing to be ashamed of.

Even a random Jonin from Konoha can fetch 30 million ryo on the black market.

If you have some reputation, you can get an extra five million taels.

But suddenly, Kakuzu noticed that this mission didn't seem to be about teaching ninjutsu, but rather kidnapping.

Kakuzu immediately felt relieved.

"Who are you kidnapping?"

"Kusashi Village, Vanilla, nicknamed Medical Kit, and her daughter, Karin."

"heard about it."

Kakuzu analyzed it in his mind.

"Deal! Where to deliver it?"

"The Land of Water".

"no problem."

Having received the order, Kakuzu quickly got to work.

Kidnapping is something Kakuzu is all too familiar with.

Moreover, the price offered by Kirigakure was quite good.

A figure sat on the second floor of the tavern, watching the Hidden Mist ninja and Kakuzu emerge from the alley.

"People from Kirigakure?"

"That's... Kakuzu?"

Hozuki Mangetsu's eyes flickered.

"Why are the villagers looking for Kakudo?"

Having arrived in the Land of Rivers and become a wandering rogue ninja, Hozuki Mangetsu soon learned of Kakuzu's existence.

Highly experienced.

Strong.

"The village and a rogue ninja like this should not have any interaction."

"what's the situation?"

Six days later.

A ninja arrived at Forging Island, bringing news that Karin and her daughter had entered the Land of Water.

Uehara Shoichi was preparing to select a ninja skilled in summoning techniques from within the village so that Karin and her daughter could come to Kirigakure and together they could study the ninja sword sealing scroll.

Sudden.

A piece of news that shocked the entire ninja world arrived.

"Iwagakure has collapsed?"

Uehara Shu looked surprised.

Chapter 249 Tobirama Senju: I'm Not as Fast as Minato

Mizukage's office.

The high-ranking officials of Wuyin Village gathered together.

Everyone's expression was very serious.

Worry was evident in his eyes.

"The situation is worse than we anticipated."

Yagura said in a calm voice, "Konoha suddenly assembled a large army and launched a surprise attack on Iwagakure. They not only killed Onoki first, but also used the Impure World Reincarnation technique to turn Onoki into a puppet."

"To be used against the ninjas of Iwagakure."

Find a suitable opponent among the Hidden Mist army and defeat him decisively.

The significance of Tobirama Senju's retreat is not great.

"what?"

It is said that Ao and the pufferfish demon held off Tobirama Senju.

"boom!"

A series of wails rang out.

"Start the war!"

"I'm increasingly eager to meet this junior."

“He looks a lot like Danzo Hoshimura.”

Ao and the pufferfish demon exchanged a glance.

This is the strongest water-style ninjutsu that Tobirama Senju mastered during his lifetime.

This was the first time Tobirama Senju had ever seen a ninja like this.

This can eliminate the impact of a damaged foundation.

Two water escape techniques.

In that case, Ao and the pufferfish demon's attacks could also follow.

Kirigakure has no feelings for Iwagakure.

"Huangtu, Han, and Laozi all died."

A whooshing sound rang out.

Tobirama Senju narrowed his eyes slightly.

Dozens of figures flew out directly.

If I were to obtain this Zanpakuto, my Water Release abilities should be able to improve even further.

Just before Danzo was about to charge forward.

"In a great battle, the number of ninja casualties in Iwagakure reached several thousand, and the number of ninja captured was also several thousand."

"boom!"

This was the second time Tobirama Senju had heard those words.

In terms of ordinary ninjas, Kirigakure undoubtedly has an absolute advantage.

Tobirama Senju narrowed his eyes slightly.

The people of Kirigakure immediately became worried about the situation in their village.

But now, such a huge ninja village, a ninja village with considerable strength, has collapsed so easily under the surprise attack of Konoha.

This is the fourth time.

"He killed dozens of Kirigakure ninjas with a single blow and injured even more of them."
