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

"This guy keeps promoting the concepts of Zanpakuto and Shinigami squads in order to suppress our Hozuki clan. I wonder how many resources he has secretly given to Uehara Shu."

"Therefore, Uehara Shu was able to forge those ninja swords."

"Now that the Third Mizukage has disappeared, Uehara Osamu has no resources and will definitely not be able to forge so many ninja swords."

"We can no longer target us."

"Then we can proceed according to our own plan."

A member of the Hozuki clan hesitated for a moment upon hearing this discussion.

"But, will the death of the Third Mizukage destabilize the village? Will Konoha and Sunagakure seize this opportunity to launch a powerful attack on Kirigakure?"

"Don't worry, Yagura-senpai has returned. With Yagura-senpai's talent, he is more than capable of succeeding as Mizukage."

“That’s right. With Yagura-senpai succeeding as Mizukage, the situation in Kirigakure can be stabilized.”

"Moreover, the relationship between the Karatachi clan and our Hozuki clan is quite good. It's a better thing for our Hozuki clan that Yagura-senpai became the Mizukage than the Third Mizukage."

A young man shouted.

"We need to tell Senior Yagura the true identity of that blacksmith."

"They are selfish and narrow-minded. They didn't consider the village's situation at all when forging the ninja sword. Instead, they deliberately targeted our Hozuki clan and didn't care about the village at all."

"Yes, we must expose his true colors. A person like that doesn't deserve so many resources at all."

"The Zanpakuto is a poor imitation of the Seven Ninja Swords of Hozuki."

"The Death Squad is no match for the Seven Ghosts of Hozuki."

"We are the future of the village."

The numerous discussions gave Hozuki Kazuhiko a headache.

"stop!"

Everyone quieted down and looked at Hozuki Kazuhiko.

"Lord Patriarch."

Hozuki Kazuhiko looked around and said, "The disappearance of the Third Mizukage is a fact, and there is no need for us to discuss it."

"The Third Mizukage was not good to our Hozuki clan, but if we talk about him while he is missing, it will only bring a bad reputation to our Hozuki clan."

"It's fine to discuss it in private, but don't say it in front of outsiders."

"It is now confirmed that Yagura will succeed as Mizukage."

"In this way, we can better carry out our original plan."

"We can send a message to Hozuki Izumo, telling him he's back."

"No need to waste time."

"Next, our Hozuki clan will undergo intensive special training."

One dynasty's waters reflect a new court.

The Third Mizukage has disappeared, and Yagura is about to take over.

Some people were heartbroken and dejected, while others were overjoyed.

Both the Third Mizukage and Yagura had their own "factional camps".

Besides the Hozuki clan, the Hoshigaki clan was also delighted with the news of Yagura's rise to power.

The marriage between Kisame Hoshigaki and a woman from the Karatachi clan has been arranged.

"leave!"

Uehara Shu silently recited a phrase in his mind, and then left the dimensional material instance and returned to the forging island.

Uehara Shu immediately closed his eyes and silently sensed the energy within his body.

"As expected, it's gone."

Uehara Shu showed a somewhat disappointed expression.

In the Peach Immortal Dimensional Material Dungeon, Uehara Shu learned Peach Immortal's immortal techniques and gained immortal power. However, after returning to the Forging Island, Uehara Shu discovered that the immortal power in his body had disappeared.

"But this is normal."

"If it were that easy, we could bring the power systems of other worlds into this world."

"Then I don't need to do so much forging at all."

"Just stay in a suitable instance and don't leave."

"This system shouldn't be called the Blacksmith System; it should be called the Dimensional Connectivity System."

"but"

Uehara Osamu wasn't entirely disappointed.

Uehara Shu, who learned the Peach Sage Technique, discovered that the energy absorbed by the Peach Sage Technique was very similar to the natural energy he felt in the deepest part of the Forging Island.

In other words, using the methods of the Peach Immortal's magic might also allow one to utilize natural energy.

"Let's try it now."

Uehara Shu put away the materials for the Peach Blossom Garden Box.

After that, we headed to the deepest part of Forging Island.

A wave of heat hit me.

Uehara Shu stopped on the platform, closed his eyes, and focused on feeling it.

"Indeed, they look very similar."

“It has subtle differences.”

"However, it's just like Water Release chakra and Fire Release chakra."

"Different attributes, but all are chakra."

"The immortal techniques of Peach Immortal also absorb natural energy."

Uehara Osamu attempted to use the sage technique he learned from Peach Sage to absorb the surrounding natural energy, but instead of absorbing it directly into his body, he controlled it on the surface of his body.

A burning sensation appeared.

Uehara Shu felt his skin was burned.

"hiss!"

"It seems that we cannot directly absorb it using the immortal techniques of Peach Immortal."

"Some modifications are necessary."

"We figured out how to modify it."

If it were Uehara Osamu a year ago, he would have thought this was extremely dangerous and impossible.

However, Uehara Osamu has already done similar things many times.

Even just knowing the name "Chakra Fusion Technique" is enough to allow one to rely on their forging skills and the enhancements gained from the God's Hand by binding with the Forging Island, and to gradually master it.

There's also the breathing exercise method.

Uehara Osamu relied on imitating the breathing techniques of Demon Slayer and observing the state of water in nature.

We developed this breathing exercise method based on only the name of the method.

The dangers of magic are far greater.

It may be more difficult.

However, Uehara Osamu had even more advantages.

"The natural energy here is quite abundant."

"I have also learned the immortal techniques of Peach Fairy, which can be used as a reference."

"Try it slowly, and you'll definitely have a chance to learn it."

"Furthermore, while I cannot absorb this natural energy, I may be able to use it for the Earth Core Polishing Technique. If I can use it, I can make up for the deficiencies in my forging technology."

"To elevate my forging skills to an excellent level."

Uehara Shu returned to his forging room.

"However, before I can research and develop the technique of polishing the earth's core, I need to make the Peach Immortal's Garden Box first."

"It's getting late today, let's rest for the night and study it tomorrow."

But just as Uehara Osamu returned to his room to rest.

A figure rushed over.

"build."

"Senior Qing?"

"Elder Yuan has arrived."

"Elder Master Yuan? Good."

Uehara Shu closed the door and walked out.

This time, Master Yuan came alone.

After several contacts, Master Yuan no longer had any reservations about Forging Island.

Furthermore, the news that the Third Mizukage's soul is still alive must not be known to anyone other than the Third Mizukage, Genji, Uehara Osamu, and Ao; it must be kept absolutely secret.

Therefore, when Yuan Shi came to Forging Island, he also wanted to let as few people as possible know about it.

Uehara Shu and Genji arrived before the Skeleton Emperor.

Qing stood guard outside.

The phantom of the Third Mizukage appeared.

"Mizukage-sama."

"Master Yuan, is something the matter?"
