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

In addition, Kakuzu is actually much older than Juzo Biwa.

As you get older, you have more time.

With more time, one's research into ninjutsu will naturally become more profound.

However, Uehara Shu's talent in fire-style techniques was indeed somewhat lacking.

Unlike water escape techniques, which can be learned after hearing or watching once, this technique is different.

Uehara Shu felt that he understood the Fire Release: Flame Whirlwind Technique, but in reality, it was not so easy to use.

"I'm afraid my Fire Release talent isn't even good."

"Fortunately, it was Senior Juzo who entrusted Kakuzu to come over."

"Otherwise, if I just find a ninja in Kirigakure who is only a beginner with half a smattering of Fire Release to teach me, it might take me half a year to learn Fire Release."

"Kakuzu is expensive, but there's a reason for it."

"worth."

"Compared to my time, this amount of money is nothing."

Two days later, Uehara Shu finally got the hang of it.

Kakuzu looked at Uehara Shu.

"Why don't you give up? You really don't have any talent in fire style. Continuing to learn it will only be a waste of time. In comparison, you will be much more effective if you spend your time on water style."

Uehara Shu was somewhat surprised, not expecting Kakuto to say such a thing.

After all, the fees are charged based on time.

The longer the time, the more rewards Jiao can receive.

Logically speaking, if you don't study well, you can get more money.

This isn't a difficult job; it's much more cost-effective than the quests offered by wandering ninjas.

Moreover, Uehara Osamu's impression of Kakuzu was that of a vicious member of the Akatsuki organization.

Short-tempered.

They can even kill their own comrades.

Uehara Osamu was somewhat surprised that someone like this would offer such a reminder.

"Thank you for the reminder, senior. However, I have my reasons for wanting to learn this Fire Release technique. Please continue, senior. Rest assured, you will not be shortchanged in terms of reward."

Kakuzu snorted, feeling that his good intentions had been misunderstood, but he did not explain.

"Then go ahead."

It took half a month for Uehara Shu to barely master it.

"Fire Release: Flame Whirlwind".

As Uehara Shu formed the hand seals, a surge of chakra erupted.

A ball of flame appeared near Uehara Shu, and then it began to spin rapidly, transforming into a shape similar to a fire dragon tornado, somewhat like the Water Dragon Bullet technique.

However, in terms of the number of hand seals, power, and scale, it is inferior to the Water Dragon Bullet Technique.

It can be seen as a degraded version of the Great Dragon Fire Technique.

"You have learned it, so my teaching is over."

Kakuzu looked at Juzo Biwa on the other side.

"You can pay me the rest of the payment now."

However, at that moment, Uehara Shu interrupted Kakuzu.

"Senior Kakuzu, this is only one Fire Release ninjutsu. It's not enough for me. Please stay a while longer and teach me a higher-level Fire Release technique."

Uehara Shu could sense that after learning the Fire Release: Flame Whirlwind Technique, his control over fire-attribute chakra was indeed much stronger than before.

But it's not enough.

If Uehara Shu were to go back like this, he would have to spend a lot of time studying and figuring out how to develop the Chakra Fusion Technique.

Rather, it would be better to gain more experience and guidance from Kakuzu.

Uehara Shu's understanding of Fire Release and his control over Fire Release chakra will be even better.

This can reduce the time required for subsequent in-depth research.

"Forget it. You've already learned one Fire Release technique. If you want to learn more, just take the ninjutsu scroll. You don't need me to teach you. Doing it this way will just cost you a lot of unnecessary money."

Being a professor, compared to other tasks, is probably indeed easier.

However, Kakuzu felt that it was too difficult for the professor, who lacked talent.

Kakuzu preferred to take on other missions.

Fighting and killing is much more enjoyable.

"And I'm sorry, I have other things to do."

Kakuzu had already packed his things at some point, and with his bundle on his back, he prepared to leave.

Uehara Shu looked at Kakuzu's back.

"You can pay more."

In an instant, Kakuzu's figure involuntarily froze.

Chapter 95 Kakuzu, Sarutobi, and Hiruzen are no match for me.

Kirigakure Village.

Ghost Lantern Island.

The ghost lantern clan.

All the high-ranking members of the Hozuki clan gathered in a basement.

Deep underground, where there is no light, one can only escape by climbing a dark staircase.

A young face stood out from the others.

It was Hozuki Mangetsu, the genius of the Hozuki clan.

Hozuki Kazuhiko looked around.

"Everyone, the Mizukage has agreed to our Hozuki clan's decision to reclaim the Seven Ninja Swords. We will now face no obstacles. In a moment, I will unseal the Summoning Scroll."

"We will use spirit summoning to retrieve the Seven Ninja Swords back to our Hozuki clan."

"But a ninja sword must have a user."

"Only a suitable ninja can bring out the full potential of the ninja sword."

"Our Hozuki clan will do better than the Seven Ninja of the Mist."

"This originally belonged to our Hozuki clan."

"Afterwards, we will arrange a test in which all members of the Hozuki clan can participate."

"From today onwards, these seven ninja swords will no longer be the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure, but the Seven Ninja Swords of Hozuki."

"The seven people wielding ninja swords will be the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Hozuki."

"The revival of the Hozuki clan begins today, starting with us!"

As Hozuki Kazuhiko finished speaking, everyone in the secret room became quite excited.

Some people are simply excited.

Some people have already imagined what the Hozuki clan might look like in the future.

Only Hozuki Mangetsu showed no change in expression.

Hozuki Mangetsu wasn't entirely in favor of the Hozuki clan taking back the Seven Ninja Swords.

However, this was the decision of the Hozuki clan.

Hozuki Mangetsu will not go against the decisions made by the family.

"Crack!"

Hozuki Kazuhiko opened the mechanism.

A metal box, with a crack in it.

Then, the gap grew larger and larger.

A scroll appeared in everyone's sight.

Hozuki Kazuhiko took out the scroll and opened it.

Lay it flat on the ground.

As you can see, several patterns are drawn on this scroll.

The center of the pattern is blank.

"Psychic art!"

Hozuki Kazuhiko placed his hand on the Blank Technique, and a surge of chakra erupted from it.

Immediately afterwards, an attraction appeared out of nowhere on a ninja sword in the warehouse of Kirigakure.

The next moment, the ninja sword vanished.

When it reappeared, it was already in front of Hozuki Kazuhiko.

"Long knife, sewing needle!"

Hozuki Kazuhiko used the summoning technique again.

"A blunt knife, a slashing cut!"

"Exploding blade, spray!"

"Thunder Blade, Fang!"
