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

This treasure turtle is an undercover agent, sent by Obito Uchiha, with ulterior motives.

Uehara Shu wouldn't care about the life of the treasure turtle.

However, the tortoise still has value.

It must be admitted that, in terms of forging technology, apart from Uehara Osamu, Takaki is currently the strongest in the entire forging department.

Uehara Shu didn't want to waste it.

Furthermore, Uehara Osamu has not yet discovered any specific information regarding the legacy of Takumi-nin Village.

"Treasure Turtle, you're quite used to working in the forging department now."

The tortoise hesitated for a moment.

"Reporting to Lord Uehara, I've already adapted."

In order to complete the task given to him by Obito Uchiha, Treasure Turtle had no choice but to endure it.

But in his heart, the tortoise was already gritting its teeth.

What kind of useless people are in your forging department?

With that level of skill, how dare you call yourself a blacksmith?

Now that I'm here, you're only making things for me, right?

"That's good."

Uehara Osamu smiled.

"Treasure Turtle, your arrival is a great help to the forging department. It has greatly improved the overall work efficiency."

"However, you may have to work even harder from now on."

"Because a very large order will be coming in."

The alliance between Kirigakure and Kumogakure has been established, and the two ninja villages have also reached a cooperation agreement on ninja swords.

Kumogakure will order a fine sword from Kirigakure.

Higher price, but better quality.

Given the intensity of the war, the Hidden Cloud Village felt it unnecessary to conserve those resources.

If the village is gone, no matter how many resources you have, it's meaningless.

This is a war that must be won.

The tortoise's expression froze instantly.

The current workload already seems ridiculously heavy for Bao Gui; will there be even more to come?

"correct."

Uehara Osamu asked, "How much of the breathing training method have you mastered, Treasure Turtle?"

"Reporting to Lord Uehara, I have completely mastered the Water Drop Hammer."

The tortoise lowered its head.

If he didn't back down, Bao Gui suspected he would be unable to resist cursing at Yuan Xiu.

"good."

Uehara paused for a moment.

"After I'm done with this busy period, I'll teach you the techniques. The water flow hammer will produce better forging results than the water droplet hammer. The forging department's forging is now in your hands."

Uehara Osamu didn't mind teaching the Treasure Turtle Forging Technique.

Because Uehara Shu never intended for the Treasure Turtle to leave Kirigakure alive.

If you're going to live, then stay in Kirigakure for the rest of your life.

It all depends on the turtle's own future choices.

"Thank you, Lord Uehara."

Hearing this, the tortoise's mood improved somewhat.

Treasure Turtle completely looked down on the forging techniques of Arasen and his companions.

However, after getting to know him better for a while, Takaki finally came to approve of Uehara Osamu's skills.

The smelting, forging, and polishing processes are all unique.

This is something that no ordinary blacksmith can compare to.

The tortoise longed to learn these things.

The Water Breathing technique calmed the turtle's mind.

"Go and get busy."

"Yes, Lord Uehara."

Before long, the treasure tortoise looked back and saw that Uehara Xiu's figure was no longer on the road.

But the treasure turtle seemed to still be able to see Uehara Osamu's back.

His eyes revealed anger and disgust.

"Shu Uehara"

"You've been exploiting me like this, sooner or later I'll get my revenge."

"I will study your skills diligently and learn all of them."

"Afterwards, I will forge ninja tools that are even more powerful than the Zanpakuto you forged."

"I will tell Madara Uchiha all your secrets without revealing a single detail."

As the tortoise imagined it, its emotions became excited.

"I really want to see what kind of expression you'll have at that time!"

A small boat rocked as it approached Forging Island.

The nearby guards immediately looked over, and only looked away when they saw the Kaguya Spring on the bow of the ship.

"Spring, how are you doing on Forging Island?"

"very good."

Kaguya Izumi replied.

"Life in the forging department is good, and Lord Uehara is a very nice person."

But as you can see from Kaguya's true nature, Kaguya's time at the spring wasn't exactly joyful.

For Kaguya Izumi, the bamboo-cutter cat is something she can never get over.

"I hope that one day, the cat can rightfully return to Kirigakure."

"In that case, the spring water and the cat can live a happy life."

"But I don't know if that day will ever come."

Kaguya Shinsui sighed inwardly.

For the sake of Kirigakure and the Kaguya clan, the Kaguya Neko has taken all the sins upon himself, and washing away these sins is no easy task.

Because sins cannot be washed away, they can only be transferred.

Suddenly, Kaguya Shinsui thought of a possibility.

"Lord Yagura was controlled by the Uchiha clan of Akatsuki. In order to avoid alerting Akatsuki and to better respond, the Third Hokage instructed all the village's high-ranking officials to pretend they knew nothing about it."

"However, this matter will be exposed sooner or later."

"Back then, if we attributed what the cat did to the Uchiha of the Akatsuki, wouldn't that have washed away the cat's sins? The cat was actually controlled by genjutsu."

"In that case, even if some people still feel that the cat has a blood debt, the real culprit is not the cat, but the Uchiha from the Akatsuki."

"Many people will still have opinions about cats, but at least the cats can return to Kirigakure and live normal lives."

"And the Hozuki clan."

"We can also pin the blame for the Hozuki clan's affairs on the Uchiha of the Akatsuki."

"As long as the third generation can agree."

"The cat sacrificed itself for the village; the Third Generation Lord should agree."

The ship stopped.

Kaguya Izumi glanced back.

"Chief, we've arrived."

"it is good."

The two went ashore and headed towards the Immortal Orange Garden where Shang Yuanxiu was located.

Halfway there, they happened to encounter a familiar figure.

"Sato!"

Kaguya Shinsui couldn't help but shout it out.

"Former clan chief of Zhenshui."

Kaguya Sato stopped.

"Sato, how have you been lately?"

Kaguya Shinsui sized up Kaguya Sato.

Among the Bamboo Clan, the three people with the most special relationship with the Bamboo Cat are himself, Kaguya Izumi, and Kaguya Sato.

For the Taketori Neko (a mythical cat), it probably means his older brother, his childhood friend, and his younger brother.

Among these things, she knew the truth herself, while Kaguya kept the matter to herself.

Kaguya Sato was the one who reacted most strongly.

He trained relentlessly, yearning to become stronger, even at the cost of everything. The mere mention of the Bamboo Cat transformed his entire demeanor, as if the rest of his life was dedicated solely to this one thing.
