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

To gain prestige, one must inevitably expose one's own information.

However, if you are dealing with someone who already knows your information, then this is not a problem.

And now, there just happens to be such a person.

Mayuko Ringo.

"I can forge a set of scalpels for Mayuko-senpai."

The ninja tools crafted by Uehara Shu were of higher quality than those from the Land of Iron, but they didn't mean much to ninjas. However, scalpels were a different story.

The Land of Iron doesn't have any particular advantage in this regard.

Because this is not something in high demand.

Given the iron-willed nature of the nation, they naturally wouldn't invest too many resources in research.

"Arafune II."

"Minister Uehara."

"Get ready, I'm planning to have a set of scalpels made tomorrow, you can come and watch."

"Yes, Minister Uehara."

That's the advantage of having an assistant; Uehara Osamu doesn't need to do everything himself.

The next day, after finishing training, Uehara Shu rested for less than half an hour before entering the forging room.

"Minister Uehara."

Huangchuan Er was slightly excited.

Previously, Uehara Shuu would have Arafune assist him from the side, but only during simulated forging.

When the actual forging of the ninja sword was carried out, Uehara Shuuto was alone.

This time, Uehara Osamu's intention was clearly to allow Arafune to watch his forging process in its entirety.

This surprised Arasenji.

In the previous situation, Arafune II was also able to learn something.

But that is a completely different concept from watching a complete forging process.

A drawing lay beside it, showing the design of the surgical scalpel used in the Hidden Mist Village's medical department.

There are nine in total.

Uehara Shu took out a metal ingot.

Immediately, Uehara Shu opened a lid next to the forging table.

A wave of heat suddenly rushed out.

Uehara placed the metal ingot on the lava and added some charcoal to fuel the fire.

While stepping on the blower, they intensified the fire.

Before long, the metal ingot turned red under the high temperature, showing faint signs of melting.

Abandoned Ship II kept a close eye on the state of the metal ingots.

Because metal ingots in different states will produce completely different results when forged.

Even a small difference can lead to a huge difference.

It's like a fledgling eagle hatching from its shell.

A few seconds earlier or a few seconds later could have put the fledgling in danger.

All other things being equal, only the perfectly formed eaglet will be the strongest eaglet.

Moreover, in the absence of sufficiently precise instruments, only the blacksmith's skill and experience can be used to make a judgment.

"All right!"

The moment the metal ingot reached its perfect state, a feeling naturally arose in Uehara Shu's heart.

Without hesitation, he took out the metal ingot.

Wearing the God's Gauntlets and wielding an iron hammer.

"Lava Forging!"

a bit.

"Ding!"

The metal ingot deformed under Uehara Osamu's forging.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Most people would only notice the deformation of the metal ingot.

However, Arafune could see that Uehara Shu's hammer blow was perfectly timed, both in terms of the point of impact and the force. A little less would have been insufficient, and a little more would have been excessive.

Arasenji couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Is this the forging technique of Minister Uehara?"

"It's exactly what I dream of achieving, the level I aspire to reach."

Uehara Shu was completely absorbed in it.

One hammer blow after another fell.

The metal ingots on the forging table changed shape continuously under Uehara Osamu's hammer blows.

The structure also becomes more compact under this forging process.

In addition, some of the properties of magma were also incorporated into the metal ingot by Uehara Osamu.

This is a characteristic of the forging techniques of Forging Island.

The magma gives the forged ninja tools greater toughness and hardness.

"Not a single mistake was made."

"It's simply not a level I can reach."

Gradually, the temperature of the metal ingot began to drop.

Uehara Shu picked up his tools and placed the metal ingot on the lava.

Once the temperature is sufficient, the forging process is repeated.

And so it continues in a cycle.

Uehara Shu didn't stop until after ten repetitions.

However, this is not the limit for Uehara Osamu.

Rather, it represents the limit of the material, the metal ingot.

After ten passes, the forging process of the metal ingot is considered complete, which, according to the forging island, is called ten-segment steel.

"The finest among the ten steel sections!"

Arafuneji's eyes gleamed as he looked at the metal ingot that had been forged in Uehara Shu's hands.

Chapter 58 Is this guy going to betray the village?

Ten forgings are required to make it into ten-section steel.

But it's not simply a matter of repeating it ten times. The goal is to improve the material properties of the metal ingot after each forging. Otherwise, it's just meaningless repetition.

Huangchuan Er remembered that throughout the entire history of Forging Island, there were only a handful of blacksmiths who could forge ten sections of steel.

"Next, it's time for shaping!"

It's still heating, it's still forging.

However, the process is different now.

This time, Uehara Osamu did not continue using magma, but simply used charcoal.

The forging techniques are also different from before.

The metal ingot began to change shape under Uehara Osamu's hammer blows.

It changed from a round ingot shape to a knife shape.

Unlike ninja swords, scalpels don't need to be large; small, delicate, sharp, and flexible are best.

Compared to before, the shaping process took a little longer.

"Senior Juzo, I need your help."

Loquat Ten Treasures enters.

"What do you want me to do?"
