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

Given the situation in Kirigakure and the events at Forging Island, some of these blacksmiths might have accumulated enough resentment to consider defecting.

Kirigakure has never lacked rogue ninja.

Those with stable families are much less likely to defect.

If a family's income is insufficient and they crave money, they will work even harder.

I won't resist working overtime.

What Uehara Osamu wanted was just that kind of working-class person.

This isn't because Uehara Osamu is mean-spirited.

However, the situation on Forging Island is currently quite complicated.

It's like a small company in its startup phase.

But it's different from a small company during its startup phase.

Many small companies treat startups differently. If they fail, the startups simply go their separate ways, and there's nothing more to say.

Even among those who succeed, few treat startup founders well.

Most of them were kicked away.

But Uehara Osamu can guarantee a good future for the founders of Forging Island.

A name came into Uehara Osamu's view.

"The great self is the tongcao (a type of herb)."

Uehara Osamu had a vague recollection of the words "tongcao" (通草).

One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist who was kicked to death by Might Guy.

Users who use blunt knives to cut.

"Since he is related to the same clan as the 'Tongcao Yeren' and has a connection with the 'Pipa Juzo', his trustworthiness should be higher."

"My family is stable, and my forging skills are also decent."

"After leaving Forging Island, I chose to become a mission ninja."

"And they work incredibly hard."

Uehara Shu's brow twitched slightly.

"Judging from my family's situation, Tongcao Dawei doesn't seem to need money that much. So why is he working so hard on missions? To prove his strength and inherit the Blunt Blade?"

"Or is it to increase my strength and go to the battlefield of the Land of Fire to avenge Kusano Yato?"

My conditions did not fully meet Uehara Osamu's requirements.

However, since Taiga Tsubasa works so hard as a mission ninja, Uehara Shu believes that if Taiga Tsubasa joined the Forging Island, he wouldn't refuse to work overtime either.

Uehara Osamu circled the name of Tetsuya Taiga, and then circled a few other names that looked pretty good.

An ANBU ninja approached Uehara Shu.

"Minister Uehara."

"Please take these people to the Forging Island. I will arrange an assessment for them."

"Yes, Minister Uehara."

Apart from Taiga, the other members are all in Kirigakure.

However, I returned to the village the next day.

The four blacksmiths were somewhat taken aback after receiving the notification from the ANBU ninja.

"So, does this mean our village has truly produced another master blacksmith?"

"Those ninja swords weren't there before, but were newly forged?"

"Is Forging Island really not going to be shut down?"

Information about the Kirito Ichimonji and other ninja swords is already known to many.

However, very few people know how these ninja swords came about or who forged them.

Apart from the village's high-ranking officials and those who had come into contact with the ninja swords from the forging island, few people knew the specifics.

The Third Mizukage did this for Uehara Shu's safety.

Even the blacksmiths on the forging island were the same.

But now they know.

The blacksmiths were all deeply moved by this lifelong bond.

Back on Forging Island, even though the island had fallen into decline, their lives were much better than those of the ninjas on missions now. They fondly remember the past.

Moreover, a master blacksmith has now emerged on Forging Island.

what does this mean?

This means that Forging Island is about to rise again!

At this point, being able to return to Forging Island and become a blacksmith, why worry about the future?

"Great!"

"To be able to follow such a great blacksmith is an incredible stroke of luck for us."

"Forging Island will regain its glory in our hands!"

"I wonder what that master blacksmith looks like?"

The group had already begun excitedly discussing the matter while they were still on the small boat that had come to Forging Island.

Except for the large amount of tongcao (a type of herb).

A person sat alone on one side, looking somewhat out of place.

"arrive."

As the voice of the ANBU ninja faded, the small boat came to a stop.

A figure was waiting at the dock.

"Gentlemen, please follow me."

Pipa Juzo glanced at the four of them, then led them toward an empty forging room.

A blacksmith recognized Pipa Juzo's identity.

"It was actually Pipa Juzo who personally came to guide us."

"Now we can be sure that the matter of the Grand Master Blacksmith is definitely true."

Another blacksmith looked at the waist of Pipa Juzo.

"That one, is it the Blue Rose Sword?"

"It allows ninjas to have additional Ice Release abilities. It was with the Blue Rose Sword that Juzo Biwa was able to severely injure Pakura, the hero of Sunagakure, allowing Kirigakure to regain its advantage."

"A ninja sword even more powerful than the Thunder Blade."

Pipa Juzo led the four people in.

"You can wait here. Minister Uehara will be here soon."

After saying that, Pipa Juzo left.

The blacksmiths exchanged glances.

"Minister Uehara?"

"There aren't many blacksmiths on Forging Island now. I glanced at it when I passed by just now, and it looked very desolate. There should be far fewer people than before."

"The one who can be called a minister must be that master blacksmith."

"But who could it be?"

"It seems that none of the blacksmiths on the forging island had the surname Uehara."

Pipa Juzo came to Uehara Osamu.

"Xiu, they've arrived."

"it is good."

Uehara Osamu nodded and looked at Arafune Ni beside him.

“Abandoned Ship Two, let’s go there now.”

"Yes, Minister Uehara."

The two arrived at the vacant blacksmith's workshop and pushed open the door to enter.

A blacksmith saw someone enter and immediately went to greet them. Looking up, he saw Arafune and Uehara Osamu.

"You two must be Minister Uehara's disciples, right?"

"When will Minister Uehara arrive?"

Uehara Shu and Arafune Ji were too young, so young that this blacksmith didn't even consider the possibility that one of them might be the great blacksmith.

Huangchuan Er frowned.

The other blacksmith, upon seeing Uehara Shu, suddenly seemed to recall something.

"If I remember correctly, this young man's name is Uehara Osamu. He's an orphan, and his teacher has passed away. Could it be that Uehara Osamu is the Uehara Department Head? The great blacksmith?"

The blacksmith's pupils suddenly contracted.

Instinctively, he wanted to pull the blacksmith who was going to meet him back.

But after thinking about it, I withdrew my action.

Today, the blacksmiths who came here are in competition with each other.

"Let me introduce myself first."

Uehara Osamu said, "I am Uehara Osamu, currently serving as the head of the forging department and in charge of forging island affairs. This is Arafune II, a formal blacksmith in the forging department."

Instantly, the blacksmith who had taken the initiative to approach him showed an embarrassed expression.
