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

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon nodded.

"Okay, I'll be careful, thank you."

Can you gain additional enhancements by controlling your own blood to attack?

This surprised and delighted the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon.

Suigetsu Hozuki was already quite satisfied with the water dragon's possession.

The word "blood" might sound unsettling, but as a seasoned ninja, Suigetsu Hobuki knew very well that injuries were inevitable for ninjas.

Once injured, it will bleed.

Wouldn't it be better to control the blood and turn it into a weapon than to let it drip onto the ground?

I didn't bleed because I wanted to use this ability.

However, this ability can only be used after bleeding.

Pipa Juzo and Suigetsu-yama Fuguki walked out.

The ninjas outside immediately turned their gazes toward them.

Pipa Juzo looked around and said.

"The new Zanpakuto has been contracted with Suigetsu Hozuki. Everyone can go back now."

One of the ninjas paused for a moment, then said with some displeasure.

"We came all this way, and they won't even let us try?"

Before he could finish speaking, his companion tugged at him, interrupting him.

Pipa Juzo glanced at the ninja indifferently.

"You need to understand one thing: it's not that your Zanpakuto needs you."

"But you need Zanpakuto."

"Don't get it wrong."

"That's the rule of the House of Contracts."

"If you're not happy, you're welcome to never come again."

The ninja, who had been indignant just moments before, turned pale upon hearing Juzo Biwa's words.

In Kirigakure, Zanpakuto and the Shinigami squad are no longer news known only to a select few.

Kisame Hoshigaki, the bloodthirsty shark, wields the unhealable blade Kiriichimonji and overpowers Kakashi Hatake, a genius ninja from Konoha.

Pipa Juzo, wielding the ice blade Blue Rose Sword, severely injured the Sand Village hero, Yekura.

The cat that wiped out the entire clan, the Bamboo Cat, wielding a dragon bone, nearly slaughtered the entire Bamboo Cat clan overnight.

The cat that takes the bamboo cutter is a negative example.

However, this also demonstrates the power of Zanpakuto.

As ninjas, most of them crave strength.

Moreover, under the influence of the Blood Mist Village policy, the ninjas of Kirigakure naturally possess a strong competitive spirit, and competition relies on strength.

Every ninja in Kirigakure doesn't want to improve their strength further.

In the current situation, a Zanpakuto is a shortcut.

A path that allows you to break through the limits of your own talent.

Furthermore, the Seven Ninja Swords have already been monopolized by the Hozuki clan.

In this situation, every ninja hopes to gain the approval of a Zanpakuto and become a member of the Shinigami squad.

Suigetsu Hobutaki also looked at the ninja.

"Since the Water Dragon has chosen me, I cannot let it down."

"And if you are dissatisfied with this result..."

"I have no right to decide who the water dragon possesses, but if you have the guts, challenge me to a fight to the death!"

"how?"

The moment he formed a contract with the water dragon, Suigetsu Hozuki completely bid farewell to his past.

They are no longer the Seven Hidden Mist Members.

He was a member of the Death Squad.

He immediately developed a strong sense of identification with this new identity.

Even without Juzo Biwa present, Suigetsu Hozuki would never allow anyone to question Forging Island.

Under the intense gaze of Suigetsu Hobutsuki, the ninja lowered his head and dared not utter another word.

The ninjas who came to try left one after another.

Pipa Juzo delivered the Watermelon Mountain Fugu Demon to the dock.

"By the way, Juzo, before I came, the Mizukage asked me to give you a message."

"What?"

Chapter 109 Ultimate Level of Water Escape

"On the battlefield in the Land of Fire, Konoha has sent a lot more ninjas, and our people have spotted Orochimaru on the battlefield."

"The Mizukage hopes that you, Juzo, can help Uehara, the head of the forging department, to establish a guard team as soon as possible, and then go to the battlefield of the Land of Fire to fight against the Konoha ninja."

"The village needs your strength."

Pipa Juzo's expression turned serious.

"I see."

"but"

Juzo Biwa said, "My injuries have recovered quite a bit now. As for Sunagakure, Pakura's injuries have probably recovered a lot as well, and she will likely go to the battlefield again."

"Among the people in Kirigakure, I'm probably the best at fighting against Pakura."

"I'm not sure if I can go to the Konoha ninja area."

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon nodded.

"That's true."

"We'll see when the time comes. Whether it's fighting against the Konoha ninjas or the Sunagakure ninjas, the village really needs you, Juzo, and the power of the Blue Rose Sword right now."

Watching the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon depart.

Pipa Juzo returned to Uehara Shu and Ao.

"Xiu, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the battlefield again soon. Lord Mizukage asked me to help you set up the guard team on Forging Island before I leave. What are your thoughts, Xiu?"

Uehara Shu shook his head.

"To be honest, I don't know many people in the village."

"Especially in terms of combat ninjas."

“In this regard, Senior Juzo and Senior Ao are the experts.”

"I have only one requirement: this person must be trustworthy."

Qing said, "Given my current condition, I'm not suited for the battlefield. Instead of staying in other parts of the village, I should stay on Forging Island. Count me in for the guard team."

"Taketori is currently on Kaguya's side, we can consider it."

Pipa Juzo remembered what the bamboo cat had said last time.

"After the purge of the Kaguya clan, the remaining members of the Kaguya clan are all doing quite well."

"Moreover, they are currently being squeezed by other ninja clans in the village in every aspect. Once they are given the opportunity to join the Forging Island, they will definitely cherish this opportunity."

Uehara Osamu nodded.

"can."

The Third Mizukage allocated thirty-six positions to the Forging Island guard force.

Qing occupies one.

There are thirty-five left.

However, it's not necessary to use up all 36 available positions in a short period of time.

There are a total of ten positions for blacksmiths.

Uehara Osamu has only used two so far.

Because we don't need that many right now.

The medical department in Kirigakure alone does not consume that many scalpels.

Unless it becomes commonplace in surgeries performed on ordinary people.

Currently, the medical department only uses the scalpels from Forging Island when performing surgery on ninjas.

But when it comes to ordinary people, there is the issue of price.

During wartime, it is even more difficult for ordinary people to earn money.

Fortunately, Kirigakure is surrounded by the sea and has abundant marine resources; otherwise, even food would be a problem.

This problem has already emerged in places like Sunagakure.

As for the guard team, Uehara Shu's overall strength has reached the level of a special Jonin.

If you use the Nautilus, you can reach the Jonin level.

In addition, there's the environment of Kirigakure.

Konoha sent ninjas to assassinate Uehara Shu, but the chances of success were extremely low.

Soon, a list appeared in Uehara Osamu's hands.
