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

"It can be said that Xiu is now single-handedly supporting half of Kirigakure's current era."

"Without the ninja sword, the situation in our Hidden Mist Village would certainly be much worse."

"Therefore, the matter of the ninja sword can definitely be ranked as the top priority."

"Xiu, how many people do we need this time?"

Osamu Uehara answered.

There are four in total.

"My thoughts are as follows: me, Senior Ao, Lord Mizukage, and one more, I haven't decided yet."

If there really isn't a suitable candidate, Daejeon would also be an option.

As one of the squad leaders of the forging department's guard team, Ota's strength is quite good.

"Let's go with Daejeon."

The Third Mizukage said, "Ota is trustworthy, and his strength is not bad either."

"Then let's do as you say, Lord Mizukage. When do you have time?"

The Third Mizukage glanced at the files on the desktop.

How about tonight?

"Lord Mizukage, the enemies within the Summoning Beast Sanctuary may be very strong. This time, the client requested four ninjas, more than ever before. Lord Mizukage, you've worked all day; are you perhaps not feeling well tonight?"

"Then tomorrow morning."

The Third Mizukage said, "I'll work a little later tonight to finish some of tomorrow's work."

"If you get a good rest tonight, there shouldn't be any problems tomorrow morning."

Uehara Osamu nodded.

"Then I'll wait for you, Lord Mizukage, on Forging Island tomorrow morning."

"can."

After confirming that the Third Mizukage could participate, Uehara Shu returned to the Forging Island.

They found Daejeon immediately.

"Your Excellency, Minister."

"Captain Daejeon, I have a task for you."

Uehara Osamu's introduction to Ota was even more brief than that of the Third Mizukage.

"How is Daejeon?"

"Minister, I have no problem."

"That's good."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Uehara Shu produced a recruitment notice for thugs.

The night passed quietly.

the next day.

morning.

The Third Mizukage arrived quite early, bringing with him the Skeleton Emperor.

During this period, in addition to his work, the Third Mizukage also conducted some research and used the Skeleton Emperor. Compared to when he first obtained it, he was able to bring out the Skeleton Emperor's abilities much better.

Besides surpassing the Second Mizukage in achievements, the Third Mizukage also wanted to surpass the Second Mizukage in strength, and the Skeleton Emperor was the key to that.

The Third Mizukage was well aware of his own talent.

Relying solely on ninjutsu has reached its limit.

However, with the addition of a Zanpakuto, things change.

The ten varieties of loquat alone may not prove anything.

But add the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon.

Everyone could see the changes in the two of them.

Previously, the two "ordinary" Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist had become a disgrace to elite Jonin, but what about now?

He has truly lived out his "second life".

In the eyes of the ninja world, he was already second only to the Kage level.

"Without my Zanpakuto, I was stronger than Juzo and stronger than Fuguki."

"And the Skeleton Emperor is probably even stronger than the Blue Rose Sword and the Water Dragon Possession."

"The time spent forging the Skeleton Emperor was much longer than that of any other Zanpakuto."

"He even deliberately learned Fire Release techniques to improve his forging skills."

"If I were to fully master the Skeleton Emperor, the improvement I would receive would be far greater than that of Juzo and Fuguki."

When the Third Mizukage arrived at Forging Island, Uehara Shu, Ao, and Ota were already waiting.

"Mizukage-sama."

The group of four entered an empty forging room.

"Mizukage-sama, Ota."

Uehara Osamu said, "Since this is your first time, I'll give you a brief introduction."

"This is actually the same as a ninja mission request."

"You will receive a reward if you complete the task."

"The client will usually appear after you enter."

The Third Mizukage and Ota exchanged a glance.

"understood."

Immediately, Uehara Osamu took out the blueprints.

Mind silently.

"Enter the Dimensional Materials Dungeon!"

The next moment, Uehara Shu's figure disappeared.

When it reappeared, it had already entered the Dimensional Materials instance.

As far as the eye can see, there is a forest.

I was on the edge of the forest.

"Summon thugs!"

The maximum number of summonable minions in the current dimensional material dungeon has been reached. Once summoned, they cannot be replaced. Are you sure you want to summon these three minions?

"Yes!"

A powerful attraction simultaneously fell upon the Third Mizukage, Ao, and Ota.

The three did not resist.

Soon, they all entered the dimensional material dungeon.

He came to Uehara Osamu's side.

The Third Mizukage and Ota looked around curiously.

"This is the blacksmith's sacred sanctuary?"

"An existence similar to the Holy Land of Summoning Beasts?"

Dungeon Quest: Slay the Sky's Demise.

Quest Reward: Materials for the Lightning Blade.

Do you want to accept the task?

Uehara Shu was slightly taken aback.

This time, the situation is slightly different from before.

Previously, the person who commissioned the task would appear and then introduce the mission.

This time, however, the task came up directly.

It's still a raiding mission.

This is a task type that has never appeared before.

However, the situation changed, and Yuan Xiu could not refuse the mission.

"receive!"

Ghost Lantern Island.

Conference building.

The high-ranking members of the Hozuki clan gathered.

A middle-aged man said anxiously, "Clan Chief, we must think of something. If this continues, our Hozuki clan will become a real joke before we even rise to power."

The young man next to him echoed.

"Yes, clan leader, Mangetsu is indeed very talented. If he obtains Hiramekarei and is given enough time, he will eventually grow into a very powerful ninja."

“It’s not impossible for him to surpass Juzo Hibiki and Suizaki Hozuki.”

"After all, Full Moon possesses the potential of a Kage-level expert."

"However, Manyue is too young. It will take a long time for her to grow up."

"It can't be done in a year or two."

Hozuki Kazuhiko frowned.

The current situation of the Hozuki clan is causing Hozuki Kazuhiko a great deal of distress.
