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

“Senior Juzo, I know him.”

Qing glanced at the four gifts.

"Shinsui, we'll accept the gift. Don't worry too much about the bamboo plucking incident, and there's no need for you to feel guilty. Since Lord Mizukage said it's in the past, then it's in the past."

Taketori Masamichi nodded.

"Yes, Senior Qing."

Osamu Uehara looked at Taketori Masui.

Uehara Osamu had heard some things about Taketori Shinjuku.

The conflict between the Kaguya clan and the village's leadership is similar to that between the Uchiha clan and the Konoha leadership.

Like Uchiha Shisui, Taketori Masami cared about both the village and his clan.

Therefore, being caught in the middle is very painful.

When the members of the Taketori clan realized that Uchiha Shisui did not prioritize the clan above all else, they imprisoned Taketori Shisui to prevent the leakage of information within the clan.

But what the Bamboo Clan didn't expect was that, besides Bamboo Clan member Masami, there was also Bamboo Clan member Neko.

Moreover, in the heart of the Taketori Neko, the village is much more important than the family.

Therefore, no sooner had the Kaguya clan imprisoned Kaguya Shinsui than Kaguya Neko reported it to the Third Mizukage.

Originally, there was still some time for the two sides to calm down at this point.

However, a member of the radical faction of the Taketori clan overheard the conversation between Taketori Neko and Taketori Shinsui.

At this point, the radical members of the Bamboo Cutter faction realized that the Bamboo Cutter Cat had already sold out the entire Bamboo Cutter clan, which immediately threw the radical members into a panic.

They made the decision to initiate a civil war.

At the same time, they killed the bamboo cat.

They could be killed, but they couldn't be killed.

Having obtained information about the Bamboo Cat, the Third Mizukage decided to exterminate the Bamboo Clan ahead of schedule. If it weren't for Uehara Osamu's suggestion, the entire Bamboo Clan might only have a handful of people left now.

Taketori Masamichi is very polite.

However, Uehara Osamu noticed that Taketori Masami was not only being polite, but seemed to be being rather cautious.

This must have been triggered by the events involving the bamboo ploughmen.

Taketori Masami probably never imagined it would end like this.

Uehara Shu couldn't help but think of it.

"If Uchiha Shisui had witnessed Uchiha Itachi massacring the Uchiha clan, what would his feelings have been? What kind of changes in his mindset would he have experienced? Would he have been similar to Taketori Shinsui?"

"Compared to Uchiha Shisui, Taketori Shinsui was actually much luckier."

"At least, more members of the Kaguya clan survived than members of the Uchiha clan."

"Moreover, Taketori Masamichi is still alive."

Zhuzhi Zhenshui looked at Lin Yuyu.

“Yuri, this gift is partly to thank Mayuko-senpai for treating the cat, and partly to apologize to Mayuko-senpai for what Taketori-da did, which was too much.”

Ringo Ameyuri shook her head like a little adult.

“Senior Zhenshui, there’s no need to apologize. This was made by Taketori-da, not by you, Senior Zhenshui.”

"No matter what, Taketori-da is a member of the Taketori clan, and I am now the head of the Taketori clan. I should apologize."

After saying this, Taketori Masamichi paused for a moment.

"Xiu, can I talk to you alone for a bit?"

Uehara Shu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"can."

However, Uehara Shu didn't move.

The three of them, including Biwa Juzo, left on their own initiative and walked a short distance away. At this distance, if there was any unusual activity, Biwa Juzo could provide immediate support.

"Xiu, thank you very much."

Taketori Masamichi sighed.

"I know everything that happened."

"If it weren't for Xiu, our Bamboo Clan might not exist now. You saved our Bamboo Clan's life. Please don't hesitate to ask for help in the future."

"Our entire bamboo-harvesting clan will do whatever it takes to help you complete this task."

Uehara Osamu waved his hand.

"Senior Zhenshui, there's no need to make it sound so serious. I just did what I was supposed to do. By the way, Senior Zhenshui, what are your plans for the future?"

"Keep the family stable."

Taketori Masamichi said, "This is my first time being the clan leader. I'll be satisfied if I can do this one thing well."

"I wish the war could end soon."

"Xiu, please don't mind my sudden visit. I won't bother you any longer."

"I'll take my leave now."

"If you ever need anything from the Bamboo Clan, you are welcome to come to the Bamboo Clan anytime."

Uehara Osamu nodded.

"Take care, Senior Zhenshui."

Taketori Masami walked halfway, then suddenly stopped and turned back.

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, from now on, our clan will no longer use the surname 'Takenori', but will use 'Kaguya' instead. You can just find the Kaguya clan's residence when the time comes."

"it is good."

Uehara Shu was slightly taken aback.

Uehara Shu watched Taketori Masamichi leave until his figure disappeared from sight before turning his gaze back to the three of them, including Biwa Juzo.

"The gift from Taketori Masamichi is quite generous."

It hasn't been opened yet, but Qing has already given it a disapproving look.

This is an inspection.

I'm worried that something that shouldn't be there might appear.

Pipa Juzo said, "Half of it is gratitude, and the other half should be friendship. Given the current situation of the Bamboo Clan, I'm afraid many people in the village are eyeing them covetously."

"The bamboo tug clan is definitely trying to win over some allies."

"This bamboo-fed water is quite quick to transform."

“I’ve met him before; he’s a rather naive young man.”

"I'm much more mature now."

The topic of the bamboo shoot water was not discussed for long.

Soon, the four of them arrived at the training ground.

Uehara Osamu and Hibiki Juzo arrived at the center of the training ground.

Ringo Yuri and Ao watched the game.

A ninja sword appeared in Uehara Osamu's hand.

It's not a special ninja sword, but rather a ninja sword made from ten layers of steel. Compared to the mass-produced swords of the Land of Iron, it's much stronger, but correspondingly, the cost is also much higher.

"start!"

Meanwhile, in another faraway place.

A fierce battle is also underway.

Kannabi Bridge.

Obito Uchiha's Sharingan with two tomoe spun wildly, and a kunai pierced fiercely into the vital spot of Oishi, the Iwagakure ninja who had kidnapped Rin Nohara and injured Kakashi's left eye.

But at this time.

An enormous rock appeared out of thin air directly above Obito Uchiha.

Obito Uchiha sensed danger and suddenly looked up.

However, at this moment, Obito Uchiha realized that he could no longer dodge.

Obito Uchiha's heart sank to the bottom.

In a dark and gloomy place, an old man, covered in tubes, looked up in one direction, his face expressionless.

"almost!"

Chapter 77 Kakashi, this isn't fair.

Kakashi, who returned to fight again, seemed to unleash the power hidden within his body after the ninja sword he inherited from his father, the White Fang of Konoha, was shattered by the ninjas of Iwagakure.

"Chidori."

"Zizzizi!"

A sound like countless sharp birds chirping rang out.

Huoguang's pupils contracted.

"This brat!"

The flames tried their best to react.

However, Kakashi was too fast.

It wasn't just that lightning was flashing in his hands.

Lightning also crackled around Kakashi's body.
