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

I usually keep it with me at all times.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any chance of losing it.

However, since the Book of Zanpakuto exists, making a contract with it is always an extra layer of insurance.

"To form a contract with other Zanpakuto, I must go to the front lines of the battlefield."

"We are in the midst of a major war, and it's impossible to bring them back one by one."

"And I am the only one who possesses the ability to make contracts."

Uehara Osamu is weighing the options.

Uehara Osamu was faced with two choices.

One option is to go to the front lines right now.

Another possibility is that after the war ends, the ninjas will return to Kirigakure one after another.

The former poses a certain degree of danger for Uehara Shu.

After all, it's a battlefield.

However, as long as Uehara Osamu doesn't reveal his identity, the danger shouldn't be too high.

Moreover, Uehara Shu himself possesses considerable strength.

The ninjas of the Sandwood Alliance will inevitably be restrained by the ninjas of the Cloud Mist Alliance.

There is a risk, but it's not very high.

And the latter.

Uehara Shu is no longer in any danger.

However, in such a massive war, there is a possibility that Zanpakuto or Great Grade Swords could be lost.

Just then, a figure appeared and headed towards the Forging Island.

It was Yuan Shi.

"Elder Yuanshi."

"Xiu, let's go see Lord Mizukage."

"it is good."

Enter the secret room.

The phantom image of the Third Mizukage appeared.

"Mizukage-sama."

Master Yuan seemed quite excited.

"The results of the first wave of battles in this major war have already been reported back."

The Third Mizukage said.

"Judging from your expression, Master, our Hidden Mist Village must have performed quite well?"

Master Yuan nodded.

"Yes, in the first wave, both sides chose to have ordinary ninjas charge first, with our Cloud Mist Alliance ninjas and Sunagi Alliance ninjas fighting against each other."

"These ordinary ninjas are actually not that different in strength."

"It's just that their fighting styles are somewhat different."

"However, this time, we have many advantages in terms of ninja swords."

"The excellent swords produced by Forging Island directly changed the situation that should have existed between ordinary ninjas."

As Master Yuan spoke, he looked at Uehara Shu.

"Shu, you can not only forge powerful ninja swords like Zanpakuto and Great Grade Swords yourself, but you can also help other blacksmiths improve their skills and forge Excellent Grade Swords."

"The entire forging island will reach a level never before seen in the future."

Previously, only Uehara Osamu was strong.

To be honest, the other blacksmiths weren't considered very valuable in the village.

It's just that Uehara Osamu needs help with some odd jobs.

That's how most people in the village viewed those blacksmiths.

But now, when it comes to forging fine and fast knives, the original cultivators don't need to be involved much; other blacksmiths can also forge them. So the significance of these blacksmiths is completely different.

Uehara Osamu smiled.

"hope so."

However, strictly speaking, this is not an improvement for the blacksmiths on the forging island.

Instead, a person named Bao Gui came along.

His forging skills are second only to Osamu Uehara.

They were much stronger than the second-in-command of the desert ship.

Because he was an undercover agent from another ninja village, Uehara Shu had no qualms about exploiting Treasure Turtle.

In addition, the Hidden Cloud Village's order for the Good Sharp Swords also brought a considerable amount of chakra metal.

That's why the Cloud and Mist Alliance has the current number of Fine and Quick Blades.

A slight smile appeared on the Third Mizukage's face.

But that's all.

The Third Mizukage remained worried about this war.

After the Impure World Reincarnation technique, a bizarre ninjutsu, was adopted by Konoha, Orochimaru was nominally the Hokage, but the Third Mizukage believed that Tobirama Senju was the actual leader.

The Third Mizukage had personally experienced Tobirama Senju's prowess.

A true ninja who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

The Third Mizukage had to admit that he learned some things from Tobirama Senju.

Therefore, the Third Mizukage was well aware of how terrifying Konoha was under Tobirama Senju's leadership.

The Third Mizukage was not optimistic about the outcome of the war.

He had even prepared to personally intervene when the Sandwood Alliance defeated the Cloud Mist Alliance and the Hidden Mist Village was on the verge of collapse, using the power of the Skeleton Emperor to stop the Sandwood Alliance.

Attack with all your strength.

Good news from the first wave of battles slowly spread throughout Kirigakure.

The crowd was in high spirits.

"I knew it! Our Hidden Mist Village would win!"

"The evil Konoha will surely be defeated!"

"A good, swift sword is really great for us ordinary ninjas."

"After exchanging ninjutsu, it usually comes down to close combat. Their swords are broken, but ours are intact. How can they fight us? They can't!"

"The appearance of Lord Uehara is a blessing to our village."

"Forging Island has risen!"

Many former members of Forging Island looked in the direction of Forging Island with deep regret.

"If only we hadn't left Forging Island back then."

"Getting into the Forging Island now is no easy feat."

"The threshold is too high."

"I have no hope, but I can start now to properly train my child. Maybe in the future, he will have the opportunity to pass the Forging Island's assessment and join it."

The existence of the sharp blade was a great help to the ordinary ninjas of the Cloud Mist Alliance.

The villagers of Mist-Hidden Village and Cloud-Hidden Village were excitedly discussing it.

Meanwhile, the Konoha and Sunagakure ninjas began to complain about the ninja swords in their hands.

When faced with failure, it's hard to blame yourself, but easy to blame others.

Therefore, both Konoha and Sunagakure attributed the responsibility to the Land of Iron.

"These ninja tools from the Land of Iron are terrible!"

"With this kind of quality, how dare they call themselves the world's number one forging nation?"

"Such an expensive price, and this is the quality you get?"

"It's far inferior to the ninja swords of Kirigakure."

"It's all the Land of Iron's fault!"

"It's all the fault of the Iron Country!"

When the Land of Iron established a policy of absolute neutrality and did not engage in ninja business, it used chakra, but in the form of a samurai.

Their main source of income comes from crafting ninja tools.

Because it doesn't compete with other ninja villages for resources in mission requests, it has maintained its status as a neutral country.

Because of its abundant iron ore deposits, the Iron Kingdom's forging technology has been greatly improved after investing a large number of blacksmiths and resources, transforming it into an assembly line operation.

It boasts higher efficiency, greater output, and lower costs compared to other ninja tool makers.

Under these circumstances, it would be very difficult for other ninja tool makers to compete with the Land of Iron.

Firstly, there aren't enough good iron ore resources.

Secondly, they are not that specialized.

The number of blacksmiths in the Land of Iron is far greater than that in other ninja villages.

Just like the forging island in Kirigakure before.

In terms of the number of people, Forging Island can only be considered a small workshop.
