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

Uehara Shu showed a look of sudden realization.

Uehara Osamu had previously speculated that it might be related to the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

If the Hozuki clan wants to take back the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure on the grounds that they belong to the Hozuki clan, then it is indeed difficult for them to accept the Nautilus as a ninja tool.

The Hozuki clan's reasoning for not accepting the Nautilus is barely tenable.

Just like Hozuki Kazuhiko said.

But if the Hozuki clan accepts the Nautilus, that would be different; others would question it.

"These aren't your Hozuki clan's ninja swords, so you can use them."

"They say it's a ninja sword from your Hozuki clan, so you're using it too."

"So they're all from your Hozuki clan?"

The Third Mizukage looked at Hozuki Kazuhiko, his eyes narrowing slightly.

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became somewhat awkward.

Qing unconsciously moved a little closer to where Yuan Xiu was.

If anything unexpected happens, Qing can immediately stand in front of Uehara Shu.

A slight chill came from my back.

However, Hozuki Kazuhiko still showed no sign of backing down.

After a while.

"it is good!"

Hozuki Kazuhiko instinctively wanted to refute, but as the words were about to come out, he realized that the Third Mizukage had actually agreed, rather than denying his request.

This surprised Hozuki Kazuhiko for a moment.

This was something Hozuki Kazuhiko hadn't anticipated.

Before coming, Hozuki Kazuhiko had thought about the possible scenarios many times in his mind.

For example, the Third Mizukage rebuked him sternly.

For example, the Third Mizukage attacked him.

Hozuki and Hiko had both thought about how to deal with these situations.

Hozuki Kazuhiko had already prepared for the worst.

Even if it costs me my life, I will persevere to the end.

It's all worth it for the sake of the Hozuki clan.

Hozuki Kazuhiko didn't expect that the Third Mizukage would agree so readily.

At first, the Third Mizukage was indeed very angry about the demands made by Hozuki Kazuhiko.

When did the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure become the private property of the Hozuki clan?

The Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist were indeed created during the Second Mizukage's term.

But does this mean that the Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist belong to the Second Mizukage?

Simply outrageous.

As for Hozuki Kazuhiko's claim that the great blacksmith who forged the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure belonged to the Hozuki clan, that is utter nonsense.

She was just a woman from the Hozuki clan who married that great blacksmith.

In the neighboring village of Konoha, Mito Uzumaki even married Hashirama Senju.

It didn't say that all the territory conquered by Hashirama Senju belonged to the Uzumaki clan.

However, after careful consideration, the Third Mizukage decided to proceed according to the Hozuki clan's plan.

First of all, it won't harm the village's overall strength at present.

Of the Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist, only Samehada is currently being used by Suigetsu Hozuki.

The rest are unused.

In a short period of time, a suitable user could not be found.

In that case, letting the Hozuki clan take it won't affect the village's overall strength.

It doesn't matter who uses it.

More importantly, the Third Mizukage had an idea.

When the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist were taken back by the Hozuki clan, they could no longer be called the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist.

It can only be called the Seven Ninja Swords of Hozuki.

The corresponding ninjas can only be called the Seven Ninja of the Hozuki.

In this situation, the reputation of Zanpakuto and the Shinigami Squad will soon surpass that of the Seven Ninja Swords of Hozuki and the Seven Hozuki Men.

The number of ninja swords and tools crafted by Uehara Osamu will continue to increase.

When people mention Kirigakure, they always think of Zanpakuto and the Shinigami squad first.

When I think of Zanpakuto and the Shinigami squad, I think of the Third Mizukage.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist will gradually be forgotten by everyone.

When people mention the Seven Ninja Swords of Hozuki and the Seven Hozuki Ninja, they also think of the Hozuki clan.

The only problem with doing this is that the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure will be wasted in the hands of the Hozuki clan, and the ninja tools crafted by Uehara Osamu will not be able to achieve the same improvement effect that the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure had on Kirigakure.

However, the Third Mizukage believed that this problem would not occur.

The Third Mizukage believed that the ninja tools crafted by Uehara Osamu would surpass those of the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure.

Whether in terms of quality or quantity.

Moreover, its use by the Hozuki clan ultimately meant it was still within Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village).

If the Third Mizukage had a ninja clan behind him, then perhaps he would care about this.

However, the Third Mizukage, like Minato Namikaze, was almost entirely from a commoner background.

Therefore, the Third Mizukage wouldn't care about this.

The Third Mizukage felt his heart pounding.

After realizing this, a surge of excitement welled up in the Third Mizukage's heart.

The Third Mizukage originally expected himself to be at least as good as others in the position of Kage.

In a horizontal comparison, it ranks among the top.

That would satisfy the requirements for the Third Mizukage.

However, Hozuki Kazuhiko's request made the Third Mizukage realize that, in a longitudinal comparison, his evaluation would be higher than that of the Second Mizukage.

This greatly appealed to the Third Mizukage.

Even if we say that the Third Mizukage had great respect for the Second Mizukage.

The Third Mizukage silently apologized to the Second Mizukage.

"Senior Huan Yue, I'm sorry."

"In terms of personal strength, I will never be able to compare with you, Senior Huanyue. However, in terms of contributions and influence to the village, I may surpass you, Senior Huanyue."

"Please don't blame me."

"If you have someone to blame, blame your descendants in the Hozuki clan."

The Third Mizukage stopped pondering and organized his thoughts.

Then, looking at Hozuki Kazuhiko, he said.

"What you said makes sense."

"Kazuhiko, I remember that your Hozuki clan seems to have a scroll that can summon the seven ninja swords, right?"

Ghost Light Kazuhiko nodded.

"Yes, Lord Mizukage."

"In that case, your Hozuki clan can simply use that scroll to summon your ninja sword there."

The Third Mizukage said, "However, I have a few requests."

"Lord Mizukage, please speak."

Hozuki Kazuhiko was very cooperative, as if he was afraid that the Third Mizukage would change his mind.

"First, since those seven ninja swords have been taken back by the Hozuki clan, they can no longer be called the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure. You can call them the Seven Ninja Swords of Hozuki, or something else."

Those who wield ninja swords are called the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hozuki.

Hozuki Kazuhiko had no objection to this at all; in fact, it was exactly what Hozuki Kazuhiko wanted.

Such a name makes people more aware of who owns the ninja sword.

"Secondly, the number of ninja swords and tools in Kirigakure is limited. Since the founding of Kirigakure, only two great blacksmiths have emerged. Therefore, once your Hozuki clan has obtained those seven ninja swords, you should not touch any other ninja swords or tools."

Hozuki Kazuhiko could also accept this.

If you take those seven ninja swords and then take other ninja tools, you're likely to incur the wrath of the Hidden Mist Village.

Ghost Light Kazuhiko nodded.

"Lord Mizukage, there is no problem with either of these points."

"That's fine then. As for the specific time of the summoning, you can decide for yourself. Kazuhiko, if there's nothing else, you can leave now. If you have any problems with the pufferfish demon, come find me."

"Yes, Lord Mizukage, thank you."

Hozuki Kazuhiko left excitedly.

"boom!"

The door closes.
