One is defeat on the battlefield.

It brought a huge negative impact to the village.

Another thing that has also brought huge negative impacts to the village is that...

One who was criticized by everyone in the village.

Rumors abound.

Another one also drew criticism from the village.

Rumors also spread.

Uehara Osamu remembered that when Kisame Hoshigaki talked about the Forging Island, he also mentioned the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

Kisame was very unhappy about this, thinking they were talking nonsense.

In the original storyline, Juzo Biwa became disillusioned with the village, left Kirigakure, and joined the Akatsuki organization.

He became teammates with Itachi Uchiha.

To protect Itachi Uchiha, Juzo Biwa fought against Yagura and died from Yagura's Tailed Beast Ball after Yagura transformed into a Tailed Beast.

He used a decapitation sword to withstand the Tailed Beast Ball.

It's definitely one of the most memorable scenes.

It's comparable to Danzo's kunai-thorn Susanoo.

The blade broke into two pieces.

As for Juzo Biwa, he was stabbed in the abdomen by a piece of the blade of a decapitation sword, which injured a vital part of his body, and that is how he died.

This incident played a significant role in why Uehara Osamu had such a negative opinion of the Executioner's Blade.

After Juzo Biwa's death, Itachi Uchiha's next teammate was Kisame Hoshigaki.

"Senior Juzo, please come in and have a seat."

Uehara Shu sat down opposite Pipa Juzo.

"Senior Juzo, I didn't expect the Mizukage to appoint you as the captain of this guard team. I'll leave the rest to you now. When will the other team members arrive?"

There are no other team members.

Uehara Shu was taken aback.

"No?"

"Yes, no."

Pipa Juzo said, "I am the Forging Island Guard, and the Forging Island Guard is me. I am all alone, and that's enough. There's no point in bringing so many people."

Uehara Osamu thought for a moment.

What Pipa Juzo said is the truth.

At the very beginning, the Third Mizukage said he would arrange a guard team.

Uehara Shu subconsciously assumed it was a small team.

But one Juzo Biwa is far stronger than an ordinary ninja squad.

This is especially true for Uehara Osamu.

Uehara Shu needs thugs.

Kisame Hoshigaki needs to go out on a mission, and there are too many uncertainties about the time. If Uehara Shu goes to the dimensional material dungeon, he can only rely on Kisame Hoshigaki as his henchman, which is undoubtedly a waste of time.

The arrival of Pipa Juzo is just right for Uehara Shu.

He used well-intentioned "lies" to deceive and turn Hibiki Juzo into his henchman.

As a member of the Forging Island Guard, Juzo Biwa can always be at your beck and call.

Uehara Shu didn't need to consider this issue at all.

Moreover, judging from his performance in the original story, Kisame Hoshigaki's potential is higher than Juzo Biwa's.

However, as things stand, Juzo Biwa is definitely stronger than Kisame Hoshigaki.

Kisame Hoshigaki is still in its growth stage.

Pipa Juzo, on the other hand, has reached his peak.

What Uehara Shu needs is immediate combat power.

“What Senior Juzo said makes sense.”

As he spoke, Uehara Shu had a sudden thought.

A semi-transparent screen appeared in front of Uehara Shu.

Uehara Shu looked at his own figure.

To be precise, it's the reputation category.

378!

This means that, compared to before, even more people know that Uehara Osamu successfully forged a ninja sword of the same caliber as the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure, such as Arafune Ni and Biwa Juzo.

Just then, the number on the reputation bar suddenly jumped.

It jumped directly from 378 to over 900.

And it's still increasing.

It didn't stop until it reached just over 1000.

"Is someone helping me spread my reputation?"

"Who?"

Kisame?

"The Third Mizukage?"

"Or Zabuza?"

Uehara Shu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Then, they turned their attention to the lottery machine.

"lottery!"

"Ten draws in a row!"

Chapter 14 Who Said the Ninja Sword Was Useless?

In Uehara Osamu's view, the lottery machine began to spin rapidly.

Once, twice, three times

Constitution 1!

Spirit 1!

Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Blue Rose Sword blueprint x1.

Constitution 1!

Constitution 1!

Congratulations, host, you have received a thug recruitment order.

Congratulations, host, you have received a thug recruitment order.

"One blueprint, two thug recruitment orders, and seven random attribute points. Not bad!"

Uehara Shu was overjoyed, feeling the changes in his body brought about by the random attribute points. Even a surge of heat appeared out of nowhere in his body and slowly spread throughout his entire body.

Uehara Shu felt that his body seemed to have been strengthened a little, and his spirit had also become stronger.

Then their gaze turned to the higher-level prizes.

Recruitment notice for two thugs.

This means that Uehara Osamu now has a medium to "convince" Hiwa Juzo into fighting for him.

A blueprint for the Blue Rose Sword.

Uehara Osamu recalled.

The Blue Rose Sword originates from the world of Sword Art Online.

A block of ice standing atop the highest mountain in the north, where the temperature is frigid, remaining cold even in summer.

One spring.

A blue rose seed was blown near the ice.

The fates of these two beings slowly intertwined.

The ice melted itself to water the blue rose.

To keep the ice block company, the blue rose allowed herself to be frozen before she withered away.

Gradually, the ice melted and took the shape of a sword.

Within the blade, a blue rose is permanently frozen.

It possesses the power to freeze.

Uehara Shu subtly shifted his gaze back to Biwa Juzo.

"Senior Juzo, have you ever met that great blacksmith from back then?"

Pipa Juzo seemed to be recalling something.

I saw it from afar once when I was a child.

Uehara Shu's brow twitched slightly.

From this perspective, it seems that Juzo Biwa didn't know much about that great blacksmith from back then.

In other words, he could use the same excuse he used on Kisame Hoshigaki on Juzo Biwa as well.
