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

The target was shattered in an instant.

Qing Meng was stunned.

"What a powerful force!"

Before using it, Ao estimated the destructive power that his chakra would cause, based on the Water Release technique.

However, in actual use, Qing discovered that the lightning strike blade's attack far exceeded his expectations.

Subconsciously, Qing was overjoyed, thinking that Lei Jiren had accepted him.

But soon, Qing realized that she did not feel any sense of closeness from the lightning blade.

In other words, the lightning blade did not recognize itself.

It's highly likely that the reason this lightning technique is so powerful is simply due to the inherent power of the lightning blade itself.

Qing handed the lightning blade back to Uehara Shu.

"Xiu, this lightning blade can enhance lightning release, unleashing power exceeding that of the chakra it's injected?"

Uehara Osamu nodded.

"The lightning blade itself also contains power."

Qing looked at the lightning blade and said with some amazement.

"Then this lightning blade is much stronger than the lightning sword."

"It can be used without lightning attribute, but this lightning strike blade should only be recognized by ninjas with lightning attribute. If we're talking about lightning release talent in our village, it's probably Kurosugi Raiga."

"Shu, you can ask the Mizukage to let him come over and give it a try."

"Xiu, shall I go to the Water Shadow Building right now?"

Qing suggested.

Uehara Osamu nodded.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Senior Qing."

Qing turned and left.

Uehara Shu held the Lightning Blade and channeled his chakra into it.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck forward.

Ringo Amori looked over curiously.

"Yuri, where's Kaguya's spring water?"

"Senior Izumi will be here later; she has other things to do right now."

For the members of the Forging Department's guard team, their main job is to protect Forging Island.

Aside from routine patrol duties, they are stationed at fixed locations, similar to watchtowers.

With a total of a dozen or so people, and given that the situation on Forging Island is not complicated at the moment, they can handle it perfectly well.

Because of a request from Juzo Biwa, Kaguya Izumi also had the task of guiding Ringo Ameyuri.

Qing knew this and deliberately adjusted the operation of Kaguya's spring water.

"Among the members of the Forging Island Guard, her strength is quite good, so I plan to let her try the Lightning Blade."

As Uehara Osamu spoke, he handed the lightning blade to Ringo Ameyuri.

"Yuri, could you hold this for me?"

But in reality, Uehara Osamu was just trying to start a conversation.

Uehara Shu's real purpose was to see how well Ringo Ameyuri and Raiden were compatible.

However, she didn't want to make a direct decision to give the Lightning Blade to Ringo Ameyuri through a contract.

Ringo Amori, without any suspicion, accepted it directly.

A voice rang in Uehara Shu's mind.

A contractor compatible with the Lightning Blade has been detected. Attribute compatibility: High. Overall compatibility: Excellent. Should we guide the contract formation?

Uehara Shu's brow twitched slightly.

"Because there are no mission commissioners and it is directly a subjugation mission, there is no 'recognition' option in terms of compatibility."

"Just as I guessed, the overall compatibility is determined solely by attributes."

Uehara Osamu glanced at Ringo Ameyuri.

"The high degree of compatibility between Yuri and the Lightning Blade proves that Yuri's talent in Lightning Release is at least at the excellent level."

"Calling him a genius of lightning techniques is certainly not an exaggeration."

Uehara Shu remembered that when he had excellent-level Water Release talent, learning Water Release became very easy.

Based on the previous experiences with guiding contracts, Uehara Shu had a general understanding of this so-called ninjutsu talent.

With good-level talent, the upper limit is Jonin.

With excellent-level talent, the upper limit is that of an elite Jonin.

"In that case, if Ringo Ameyuri continues to study Lightning Release, it won't be difficult for her to become an elite Jonin."

"And Hozuki Mangetsu's talent in Water Release is probably even more than excellent."

Last time, when Hozuki Mangetsu held the Nautilus in his hand, the system notification was that the attribute compatibility was extremely high.

A short while later, the Kaguya Spring water arrived.

Ringo Amori cheerfully introduced the Lightning Blade to Kaguya Izumi.

Kaguya Izumi was stunned for a moment.

"Minister, can I really try?"

Uehara Osamu nodded.

"Yes, you are a member of my forging department, so you should have priority to try. However, if your talent in lightning release is not good enough, it will be difficult for you to be recognized by Lightning Blade."

"Yuri, hand the Lightning Blade to Kaguya Izumi."

Kaguya took the water, a hint of excitement in her eyes.

In Kirigakure today, everyone knows about the existence of Zanpakuto.

Orochimaru's defeat gave everyone a clearer understanding of Zanpakuto and the Shinigami team.

In the Hidden Mist Ninja, no one doesn't want to be a member of the Shinigami Squad, and no one doesn't want to possess a Zanpakuto.

The same applies to Kaguya's spring.

Moreover, Kaguya's spring water is more anticipated for her Zanpakuto than for other Kirigakure ninjas.

Because the Bamboo Cutter Cat wielded the Dragon Bone, nearly wiping out the Bamboo Cutter clan.

The bamboo cat also holds a very special significance for Kaguya's spring water.

Kaguya's spring water gathered chakra in her hand.

The next moment, lightning flashed on the lightning-struck blade.

"Boom!"

Kaguya Izumi looked at the destroyed target with a surprised expression.

"So strong!"

Uehara Shu showed a regretful expression.

"Unfortunately."

Kaguya Izumi immediately understood Uehara Osamu's meaning and quickly handed the Lightning Blade back to Ringo Ameyuri.

"Your Excellency, thank you."

the other side.

Qing has arrived at the Water Shadow Building.

The Third Mizukage finished with the documents in his hand and gestured for Ao to come in.

"Mizukage-sama."

"Qing, what is it?"

"Reporting to Lord Mizukage, Xiu has already used the materials obtained last time to forge the ninja tools."

"So fast?"

The Third Mizukage smiled.

"What kind of ninja tool?"

"It is called Lightning Blade, a Zanpakuto with lightning attribute."

Ao paused for a moment, then said, "Lord Mizukage, I think this ninja sword might be recognized by Kurosuki Raiga."

"Raiga?"

The Third Mizukage frowned slightly.

He couldn't help but recall the last time he went to Raiga Kurosuki's house, and Raiga's behavior.

On that occasion, because the Third Mizukage did indeed owe the Kaguya clan a promise, he had no choice but to give them one of the Raito and Samehada swords in response to their demands.

At that time, Samehada was in the hands of Suigetsu Hobutsuki.

The Thunder Blade was in the hands of Black Hoe Raiya.

Both were survivors at Matt Day's feet, but their conditions were different.

Therefore, the Third Mizukage chose to give the Raiga Raiga's Thunder Blade, which was in a state of despair, to the Taketori clan.
