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

One point is that Hibiki Juzo indeed thought so.

Another one is Pipa Juzo's self-criticism.

Despite the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist having an overwhelming numerical advantage over Might Dai, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist clearly held a significant numerical advantage.

However, Might Guy alone defeated all seven members of the Hidden Mist Seven.

That was a crushing defeat.

The loquat's ten organs are thus depleted.

However, now, in Uehara Osamu, Biwa Juzo saw hope.

"So what if another Might Guy comes along?"

Deep in the mind of Pipa Juzo, that nightmarish scene faded somewhat.

"That master blacksmith hid this information very well. I estimate that apart from himself and a few close friends, no one else knows about it."

"I don't want to leak this information."

"This is normal."

"That's just human nature."

"But Xiu..."

Pipa Juzo looked at Uehara Shu.

"Xiu can only be described as very selfless. He told me this secret directly, even though it was our first time meeting."

"But they are indeed too naive."

"Such valuable information should not be revealed so casually."

Pipa Juzo looked intently at Uesugi Osamu.

"Xiu, this information is very important and valuable. I am very grateful for your trust."

In return, I guarantee your safety.

"Regardless of whether or not it was ordered by the Mizukage."

What Juzo Biwa didn't know was that Osamu Uehara wasn't actually that naive.

The reason I told Kisame those things was because Kisame was Uehara Osamu's only friend.

Uehara Osamu also knows about Kisame Hoshigaki.

A very principled person.

In the original storyline, after learning that his superior had betrayed the village's information, he killed his superior.

To protect the village's intelligence, he killed the woman who had feelings for him and then chose to jump off a cliff.

In order to protect the Akatsuki organization's intelligence, he used an extremely cruel method of suicide.

It creates a water-escape shark that devours its own body.

It's not just cruel, it's tragically cruel.

Furthermore, Uehara Shu needs Kisame Hoshigaki to help him complete his mission.

The same applies to the ten treasures of loquat.

Uehara Osamu understood the ten treasures of loquat.

One person joined the Akatsuki organization and was willing to sacrifice his life to protect Itachi Uchiha simply because they became teammates with him.

In order to complete the mission quickly, Kakuzu, another member of Akatsuki, killed both his teammates and enemies.

In comparison, Juzo Biwa is simply the best person imaginable.

Moreover, Uehara Shu now needs Pipa Juzo to help him complete his mission.

Obtain the materials to forge the Blue Rose Sword.

Pipa Juzo continued, "But, Shu, remember this, you really can't tell this information to anyone else, or you'll be in a very dangerous situation."

"There are too many terrible people in this world."

"Moreover, our Hidden Mist Village has so many enemy villages."

Battles have almost always broken out between ninja villages.

The conflict between Kirigakure and Konoha is exemplified by the Rin Nohara incident.

The conflict between Kirigakure and Sunagakure is exemplified by the Pakura incident.

The incident between Kirigakure and Iwagakure is exemplified by the mutual destruction of the Second Mizukage and the Second Tsuchikage.

Uehara Osamu nodded.

"I understand, Senior Juzo. Thank you for reminding me."

Pipa Juzo hesitated for a moment.

“Shu, even if you don’t reveal this information, as you forge more and more ninja swords in the future, the situation you face will become more and more dangerous, and more and more people will be watching you.”

"It's not just other ninja villages."

"Even within the village itself, things are unstable."

"By the way, Xiu, how good are your ninja skills?"

"Uehara Osamu replied."

"My overall strength is only at the level of a genin. I know basic taijutsu, ordinary ninja tool throwing, and as for water-style ninjutsu, I only know two: Water Clone Technique and Hidden Mist Technique."

"That's not okay."

Pipa Juzo said, "Shu needs to be stronger."

"We cannot rely entirely on others to protect our safety."

"One must also possess sufficient strength."

"Crafting ninja tools is indeed a very important thing."

"But this is even more important for the village."

"Improving your own safety is more important to you."

"How about this, I'll give you special training whenever I have free time?"

This is exactly what Uehara Osamu wanted.

Having just acquired an excellent-level Water Release talent, Uehara Shu wanted to transform this talent into strength.

Unfortunately, there are no corresponding resources.

The suggestion from Juzo Biwa was just right for Osamu Uehara.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Juzo."

Chapter 16 What does it mean to learn something in no time?

"You have already forged Kiriichimonji. The Mizukage's order has been issued. Forging Island will not be shut down, and your status as a blacksmith can be retained."

"Right now, there's no rush to forge a second ninja sword."

"Let me first check your strength and then give you some targeted training."

"The Blacksmith's Holy Land must be very dangerous, right?"

"To be able to obtain such special materials, the difficulty of the commission must be quite high."

"Even if Xiu can recruit team members, they still need to have a certain ability to protect themselves."

Uehara Osamu was somewhat surprised by what Pipa Juzo said.

Uehara Osamu could tell that Biwa Juzo was not just acting on the orders of the Third Mizukage, but was considering Uehara Osamu's interests and prioritizing his own.

"Thank you, Senior Juzo."

"No need."

Pipa Juzo waved his hand.

"Xiu, I actually have my own selfish reasons. I don't know if you've heard about that incident, but we, the Seven Ninja of Kirigakure, suffered a crushing defeat against a mere genin from Konoha."

"Four people died on the spot."

"Only the three of us are left, and we're lucky to be alive."

"That incident is like a nightmare to me."

"Now, whenever I close my eyes, I can recall that scene."

As Pipa Juzo spoke, he unconsciously clenched his fist, and the veins on his arm bulged.

"I'm too weak."

"They thought that by possessing the name of the Seven Ninja of the Mist, they could be invincible."

"But I was completely powerless against that person."

"I can not be reconciled."

"After returning to the village, I kept thinking, am I no longer suitable to be a ninja? Am I no longer qualified to be a ninja? But Xiu, you gave me new hope!"

"In my heart, there lies a longing."

"If Xiu can forge a ninja sword that is more suitable for me, a ninja sword that is stronger than the Executioner's Blade, then I might be able to have the strength to avenge my previous defeat."

"Kill that Konoha genin!"

Uehara Shu's heart stirred slightly.

From Biwa Juzo's words, it can be seen that Biwa Juzo also felt that the Executioner's Blade was not strong enough.

It only has the ability to absorb blood and repair itself automatically.

Aside from that, there's nothing special about it.

Compared to ordinary ninja swords, there isn't much difference.
