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

Danzo succeeded to the position of leader of the front.

Danzo's style is distinctly different from Orochimaru's.

They are more insidious, more unscrupulous, and place greater emphasis on intelligence.

Danzo never placed his chances of winning on his own strength.

However, this is also because Danzo's own strength was not strong enough.

They didn't have Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan yet.

Intercolumnar cells have not yet been transplanted.

He hasn't acquired that Sharingan yet.

Danzo could only rely on his Wind Release technique.

Danzo's role is actually somewhat similar to that of Ebizo from Sunagakure.

They were both in charge of intelligence, taking on all the dirty work.

"Sarutobi-sensei."

Orochimaru went straight to the Hokage Building upon his return to Konoha.

Orochimaru, are you alright?

"I am fine."

"That's good."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "This time, it's not your fault. Nobody expected that Kirigakure would produce a new Zanpakuto so quickly, which would increase Suigetsu Hozuki's strength so much."

"However, given the current situation, Orochimaru, you should stay in the village, rest for a while, and adjust your mindset."

Orochimaru opened his mouth, as if to say something.

However, after seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression, he ultimately said nothing.

"Yes, Sarutobi-sensei."

Because of this news, Kumogakure and Iwagakure have increased their attention to Kirigakure.

However, since there is currently no direct war relationship, the impact is minimal.

However, Sunagakure is also at war with Kirigakure, in addition to Konoha.

Yekura had only recently recovered from her injuries when she rushed off to the front lines again.

Before he could even make a move, he heard the news of Orochimaru's defeat.

Immediately, the Sand Village's level of fear of the Mist Village increased to another level.

"The appearance of Zanpakuto has greatly improved Kirigakure."

"The Unhealable Blade, Kiriichimonji".

"Ice Blade, Blue Rose Sword".

"Blood Blade, possessed by the Water Dragon."

"It's much stronger than the Seven Ninja Swords."

In fact, some people within Kirigakure were also negatively affected by this incident.

That is the Hozuki clan.

A sense of oppression, unease, and gloom enveloped the Hozuki clan's encampment.

Orochimaru's defeat was naturally a good thing for the Hozuki clan.

However, Suigetsu Hozuki's outstanding performance was a slap in the face for the Hozuki clan.

Just moments ago, the Hozuki clan forcibly took Samehada back from Suigetsu Hozuki, claiming that Samehada wasn't inferior, but rather that Suigetsu Hozuki was incompetent.

As a result, Suigetsu Hobutsu proved himself shortly afterward.

A battle with Orochimaru.

It provided most of the damage in the process of severely injuring Manda.

Besides the Blood Blade Kill, Suigetsu Hozuki's Water Release ability also became strangely outstanding.

Their ability to manipulate water surpasses even that of the Hozuki clan.

This is more than just a simple slap in the face.

Instead, they pressed the faces of the Hozuki clan onto the ground and rubbed them.

Now, whenever members of the Hozuki clan go outside, they can't help but feel the strange way others look at them.

“Some people outside are saying some very unpleasant things.”

"Saying that our Hozuki clan has no taste."

"Too stupid."

"Our Hozuki clan has become a laughing stock of the entire Hidden Mist Village, no, the entire ninja world."

"They selfishly possessed the Seven Ninja Swords, yet they couldn't utilize their full potential."

"They treasured the Seven Ninja Swords, but they are far inferior to Zanpakuto."

A member of the Hozuki clan said indignantly, "I think that blacksmith did it on purpose."

"A ninja sword was specially crafted for Suigetsu Hozuki. It can also be crafted to enhance water-style abilities."

"He just wants to see our Hozuki clan make a fool of themselves."

"They want to see us make a fool of ourselves."

"This is retaliation against us."

"It was retaliation for our refusal of his ninja sword."

"That's too petty."

"That's so targeted!"

"How can people from the same village be so narrow-minded?"

"Does he really intend to become an enemy of our Hozuki clan?"

"He must be very pleased with himself now that he hears all that talk outside."

But in reality, Uehara Shuu has no interest in listening to the discussions outside.

Because Uehara Osamu has many more important things to do.

"Orochimaru's defeat has given me a lot of prestige."

"He's simply my lucky star!"

Uehara Osamu looked at the reputation bar numbers on the semi-transparent panel and smiled.

Thank you to 2021924 for the 500 reward!

Chapter 114 Green Blueprint Lightning Blade

The number above has reached over 1800.

Uehara Osamu watched the numbers on the screen increase.

It has improved to this level in a very short period of time.

The same as last time, when the Bamboo Cat carried out an extermination of the Bamboo Clan.

"This is Orochimaru."

"As expected of one of the Legendary Sannin."

"With the possession of the Water Dragon, its fame spread throughout the ninja world after this incident."

"Over 1800, not far from 2000."

"This time we can wait a little longer."

"After 2000, I will do a 20-pull."

Upon entering the training ground, Uehara Shu continued his Water Release training.

Now, apart from relatively complex water-style ninjutsu like the Water Dragon Bullet Technique, Uehara Shu has basically simplified all other water-style ninjutsu, which originally had relatively simple hand seals, to the extreme.

That is, a seal.

"The simplified hand seals are actually very effective in actual combat."

"Shorter hand seal time means faster attack speed."

"Moreover, the other party usually estimates based on the normal hand seal time."

"In the first encounter, you can catch your opponent off guard."

"Alternatively, we can first disguise ourselves."

"First, form the full hand seals, and then use the simplified hand seals when the opportunity arises."

"It's alright, but the hand seals are incorrect."

"For example, the first few seals are actually invalid, only the last seal is genuine."

"To make the other party make a wrong judgment."

It can be said that simplifying hand seals can bring a considerable amount of room for maneuver.

"Next, there is another direction, which is to improve the completeness of ninjutsu."

The power of a ninjutsu is not fixed.

The power of this technique may vary depending on the ninja who uses it.

It's like the difference in Wood Release between Hashirama Senju and Yamato.

Besides possessing a much larger amount of chakra than Yamato, Hashirama Senju's talent in Wood Release was also a very important factor.

Once Uehara Shu possessed the ultimate level of Water Release talent, he could sense it.
