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

"Xiu, have you forged any new ninja swords during this time?"

Uehara Osamu nodded.

"A new ninja tool has been created, but it is not a ninja sword."

"Not a ninja sword? Then who was chosen?"

"Not selected".

Uehara Shu shook his head and said, "This ninja tool has extremely high requirements for water release talent, and it is also picky about the ninja's personality. The Mizukage originally said to let a ninja from the Hozuki clan try it."

Pipa Juzo nodded.

"The Hozuki clan ninjas are indeed extremely talented in water-style ninjutsu, even though their clan hasn't produced any outstanding geniuses for a long time, since Gengetsu-senpai."

"But I've heard that there's a young man named Hozuki Mangetsu who's not bad."

"What do you mean by not being selected, Xiu?"

Uehara Osamu explained.

"The Hozuki clan refused. After that, the Third Mizukage arranged for some other ninjas to try, but Nautilus did not choose them and they are still on Forging Island."

"The Hozuki clan refused?"

Pipa Juzo paused for a moment.

The Blue Rose Sword gave Juzo Biwa a new life.

Kizuki had complete trust in Uehara Shu's forging skills and the ninja tools he created.

Kikuzo couldn't imagine what kind of person would refuse Uehara Shu's ninja tools.

"The Hozuki clan wants to reclaim all seven Ninja Swords."

"Uehara Osamu said."

Pipa Shizang's pupils contracted.

Before long, he figured out the key point.

"I see. So they want to turn the Seven Ninja Swords into the private property of their Hozuki clan. In that case, they can't accept repairing your ninja tools. It will inevitably provoke public outrage."

"But how could the Mizukage agree to them doing this?"

Uehara Osamu remained silent.

In his heart, Uehara Osamu had a guess.

However, it's not appropriate to voice such speculation.

"never mind."

Pipa Juzo shook his head.

"These are already political matters and have nothing to do with us. The Hozuki clan's refusal to repair your ninja tools is definitely their loss."

"They will definitely regret it in the future!"

A secluded courtyard came into their view.

Just then, a figure in the courtyard opened its eyes.

Two footsteps.

"It's Juzo Biwa, and that young ninja who wants to learn Fire Release has arrived."

Kakuzu opened the door.

"Kakuzu".

Let's introduce Uehara Osamu to Kakuzu.

"This is Xiu, preparing to learn Fire Release."

Then he introduced Kakuzu to Uehara Osamu.

"Shu, this is Kakuzu."

Kakuzu glanced at Uehara Shu, but not seriously.

Kakuzu doesn't care who Uehara Osamu is; to Kakuzu, this is just a transaction.

Safety is not a problem, the pay is good, and everything else is not an issue.

"come in."

The three people walked in.

"boom!"

The courtyard door is closed.

Kakuzu looked at Uehara Shu and took out a chakra test strip.

"You should have been tested before to learn Fire Release, but I didn't see it, so you need to test it again so I can see if you really have Fire Release chakra."

"I don't want to pay you for something you haven't learned by then."

Uehara Osamu nodded.

"can."

Then, he took the chakra test strip.

Uehara Shu definitely possesses the fire attribute.

It can be said that the vast majority of blacksmiths possess fire-style chakra.

Hold the chakra test strip between your fingers and concentrate the chakra in your hand.

The next moment, the chakra test strip changed.

It is clearly divided into five parts.

The water-related properties caused the area to become wet.

Partial combustion caused by fire.

The wrinkles were caused by the lightning attribute.

Partial breakage caused by the earth element.

The wind-induced marks are neat and resemble cuts.

Its water-related characteristics are most evident.

After all, Uehara Shu's Water Release talent is currently the best.

"Indeed."

Kakuzu glanced at the chakra test strip and said, "Then, starting today, I will teach you Fire Release."

"Let's make it clear beforehand that I'm only responsible for teaching, and I charge by the hour."

"I will answer any questions you may have."

“I will point out where you did something wrong.”

"But whether you can learn it or not is your own business."

Even if you can't learn it, you still have to pay.

"Are these all acceptable?"

Uehara Osamu had no objections; the conditions proposed by Kakuzu were reasonable.

"Okay, I'll start explaining now."

"The ninjutsu I'm going to teach you is called Fire Release: Flame Whirlwind."

Kakuzu paused for a moment as he spoke.

"Let me make this clear first: this Fire Release ninjutsu comes from Takigakure. If you learn it and use it in front of Takigakure ninjas, you may be questioned and attacked by them."

"Understood, thank you for the reminder, Kakuzu-senpai. I will use it with caution."

Different ninja villages have different ninjutsu systems.

Ninjas were actually quite secretive about their ninjutsu.

Regardless of which ninja village you're in, to learn a new ninjutsu, you either need to perform meritorious service and exchange it with the village.

For example, Minato Namikaze only had the opportunity to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique after he made a great contribution.

Instead of just any Konoha ninja having the opportunity to come into contact with and try to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Or perhaps it is passed down through one's own teacher.

Take Minato Namikaze as an example again.

After developing the Rasengan, Minato Namikaze not only taught it to his student Kakashi, but also to his teacher Jiraiya.

Only close relationships can provide such an opportunity.

Kakuzu spoke very seriously.

After listening for a while and confirming that Kakuzu was teaching seriously, Biwa Juzo relaxed a little and stopped focusing on Kakuzu's teaching, while keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings.

As Uehara Osamu listened, he mentally organized his thoughts.

"This money was definitely well spent."

"No one in Kirigakure has this level of expertise in teaching Fire Release."

"Much worse."

Uehara Shu glanced at Pipa Juzo.

"Even Juzo's teaching level of Water Release is far inferior to Kakuzu's teaching level of Fire Release."

This isn't Uehara Shu putting down others; it's a fact.

However, this is also reasonable.

After all, Juzo Biwa was indeed an elite Jonin, but he focused his energy on two things: half on Water Release and half on Ninja Swordsmanship.

Kakuzu, on the other hand, focused all his energy on ninjutsu.
