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

These air currents gradually condensed together.

Gradually, it transformed into something else entirely.

Bones, heart, lungs, muscles, skin, blood tissue

A girl appeared in front of Uehara Shu.

Then, the remaining airflow gradually condensed into clothing.

It is somewhat similar to the Shinigami uniform in the Bleach world.

The girl knelt down on one knee the moment she saw Uehara Osamu.

"Meet the master."

"Master, please give me a name."

Uehara Osamu's brow twitched.

But not unexpected.

The knife belongs to Meira Suijima, but a person doesn't necessarily have to be called that.

Just as the sword of wisdom is the sword of wisdom, so too is the sword of dragon slaying.

In terms of relationships, the relationship between Suishima Mela and Uehara Shu is closer than that between the other Zanpakuto and Uehara Shu.

After all, in addition to crafting it, Uehara Osamu also infused it with his soul power.

In some ways, they can all be considered Uehara Osamu's "daughters".

No, it should be more like "younger sister".

It's similar to Ichigo Kuroki and Hollow White.

Uehara Osamu looked at the appearance of Suishima Mela.

He is somewhat similar to Uehara Osamu, but only slightly.

Unexpectedly, he resembled a character from the original storyline in Uehara Osamu's memories.

"Hanabi."

"Your name is Uehara Hanabi."

Uehara Osamu unexpectedly discovered that the materialized appearance of Suishima Mela was 80-90% similar to Hinata Hanabi after she grew up in the original story.

Just like in the original story, Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma's daughter unexpectedly resembled Uchiha Shisui.

Since it was such a coincidence, Uehara Osamu simply adopted this name.

It just so happens that Mela from the island has fire-type abilities.

Naming it after fireworks is very fitting.

"Thank you, Master."

Call me sir.

"Yes, my lord."

Uehara Shuuji started checking out the information about Suijima Mela.

Suijima Mera Uehara Fireworks.

Type: Katana.

Quality: Perfect.

Abilities: Fire manipulation is inherited from the blacksmith's fire manipulation skills, and he is extremely skilled in smelting techniques.

Note: According to the third rule of the blacksmith, the power of this ninja tool cannot harm the blacksmith.

Just as Uehara Osamu had predicted.

Mela Suijima's abilities allow her to assist Osamu Uehara in smelting.

In fact, all the smelting work was entrusted to Mela Suijima.

"Hanabi, show me your abilities."

"Yes, my lord."

When Uehara Hanabi opens her mouth, intense flames erupt from it.

No hand seals are needed.

After the flames appeared, they did not disappear, but could persist for a long time.

Furthermore, after the flames appear, Uehara Hanabi can control them through thought and gestures, making her incredibly agile—far more so than any other fire-style ninja.

"His control over this flame is even better than mine."

"Because it is not a living being of flesh and blood, but a Zanpakuto, its body is extremely tough."

"It would be very difficult for an ordinary blade to injure Uehara Hanabi."

"And Uehara Hanabi's hand chop is as sharp as a real Zanpakuto."

"Therefore, even if he only has the ability to manipulate fire, his overall strength has reached the level of an elite Jonin."

"He is still an elite Jonin with extremely strong defensive capabilities."

"Among most ninjas, who have high attack but low health, Uehara Hanabi will be an exception."

"In other words, it would be very difficult for an elite Jonin to kill Uehara Hanabi."

"If we can't kill Uehara Hanabi, she will inevitably find an opportunity to kill us."

"It's just that the means of attack are somewhat lacking."

"But because of its strong defensive capabilities, it would be more effective as my bodyguard than Ota, Kaguya Izumi, or even Hozuki Izumo, in addition to helping me complete the smelting work."

Uehara Shu averted his gaze.

"Furthermore, since it is already a separate entity, it does not require the consumption of my chakra."

"Instead, it will absorb external energy on its own."

"It is a more powerful being in every aspect than its counterpart."

Uehara Osamu pointed to the metal in the corner.

"Hanabi."

"grown ups."

"Go and melt that lump of metal down."

"Yes, my lord."

Uehara Hanabi picked up the metal and placed it in the magma furnace.

He breathes fire as soon as he opens his mouth.

The metal melted quickly.

Uehara Osamu came over to watch.

"There are no multiple chakra natures involved, only fire is involved."

"However, its level of completion is higher than mine."

"It's probably because Mela of Suidao Island is a fire-attribute user, and my fire-style talent isn't high enough."

"Even without other attributes, it can completely replace my smelting."

"Moreover, I can even learn something from the process of smelting fireworks."

Uehara Osamu's current forging skills are already at an excellent level.

With the help of many factors, he reached the master level.

The Chakra Fusion Technique is also of an excellent level.

This includes fire attribute, fusion of fire and lightning attributes, and fusion of fire and earth attributes.

Uehara Shu's next goal with the Chakra Fusion Technique is to learn Wind Release and master the fusion of Fire and Wind Release.

After that, I will try to combine fire and water attributes.

Once you've mastered all these chakra fusion techniques, you'll most likely be able to advance to the next level.

That is, to be proficient in.

Mastery level of smelting techniques.

Master-level forging skills.

Proficient level of polishing skills.

The overall technical level has reached the proficiency level.

At that time, I will be able to obtain another exclusive forging tool blueprint.

It's like the Hammer of Zudun.

"Before, due to the war, I had to focus more of my time and energy on creating ninja tools that could enhance the overall strength of Kirigakure."

"But now, the ninja world has entered a state of cold war."

"Next comes the arms race phase."

"Then I can dedicate more of my time to improving my forging techniques."

"This is what is meant by 'If you want to do a good job, you must first have the right tools.'"

"However, who should I learn Wind Release from?"

Uehara Shu recalled the famous Wind Release ninjas in the ninja world.

"Danzo of Konoha, Asuma, the future Naruto."

"Baki from Sunagakure, Temari in the future, and so on."

"None of the Hidden Mist Village, Hidden Cloud Village, or Hidden Stone Village have any ninjas skilled in Wind Release."

"As for Kakuzu, I'm afraid he won't be coming this time."
