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

Smiling Qingjiang, excellent qualities.

Keel, of excellent quality.

Nautilus, perfect quality.

Skeleton King, good quality.

Water dragon's presence signifies excellent quality.

Lightning-struck blade, excellent quality.

Tingzhi Box, of excellent quality.

All things considered, Kiriichimonji might be the most suitable choice.

"Then let's choose Kiriichimonji."

The Third Mizukage said.

"It just so happens that Kiri Ichimonji is the first Zanpakuto you forged, so it has great significance. If Taketori Neko takes Kiri Ichimonji away, the degree to which he will gain that person's trust will be even greater."

"Lord Mizukage, wouldn't that be unfair to Kisame?"

Kisame Hoshigaki has had Kiri Ichimonji for a long time.

Between the man and the sword, there must have been a deep bond between them.

At this point, if Kisame were to forcibly take Kiriichimonji away, he would surely be heartbroken.

Moreover, when Kirigakure was in dire straits, the Third Mizukage deliberately arranged a clash between the younger generation of ninja and the younger generation of ninja from Konoha, and Kisame Hoshigaki did not disappoint Kirigakure.

Overpowering Kakashi Hatake significantly boosted the morale of Kirigakure at the time.

It can be said that Kisame Hoshigaki deserves a lot of credit.

Now, just because of the appearance of "Uchiha Madara," they directly took away Kiriichimonji?

The Third Mizukage interrupted Uehara Shu.

"Xiu, I know."

"This is really unfair to Kisame."

"But the village needs someone to sacrifice."

"Just like the Taketori Neko, who carries the sin of the extermination of the Taketori clan on his shoulders, he can only be a rogue ninja for the rest of his life."

"Me too, I'm still 'alive,' but for the sake of the village, I have to hide in a corner."

"And then there's Xiu, who worked incredibly hard to forge the ninja sword for the sake of the village."

"And then there are the many ninjas who went to the battlefield and sacrificed themselves for the village."

"It is because of everyone's sacrifices that the village can be stable, the village can be better, and the village can have a future."

"That person who calls himself Uchiha Madara is worth paying attention to."

"Moreover, if Kiriichimonji is taken by Taketori Neko, it will most likely be in Taketori Neko's hands."

"There wasn't much loss for the village."

"It's just about making Kisame make a certain sacrifice."

"I believe he will understand."

"For Kisame, this isn't actually a bad thing."

"His journey has been too smooth."

"Appropriate setbacks can help him grow."

Uehara Shu fell silent.

Uehara Osamu knew that the Third Mizukage's words made sense.

Uehara Osamu was more aware of the situation.

The ultimate goal of the Akatsuki organization is to collect the Tailed Beasts, revive the Ten-Tails, and carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan.

This objective has multiple aspects.

Nagato longed to use the power of the Ten-Tails to bring absolute peace to the ninja world and to suppress the world single-handedly.

Obito Uchiha hoped to create a world where he and Rin Nohara could live happily.

Madara Uchiha wanted to create a world without war and betrayal.

Black Zetsu, on the other hand, only wanted to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Kaguya Otsutsuki last used the Infinite Tsukuyomi to create an army to fight against the genius Otsutsuki clan.

Regardless of who these people are, they all pose a significant threat to Kirigakure.

If Kirigakure could have a spy within Akatsuki, it would indeed be a very good and convenient thing.

"Lord Mizukage, I understand."

When the Third Mizukage finished speaking, Uehara Osamu knew that no matter how much he argued, he couldn't change the Third Mizukage's decision.

"Master Yuan, it's decided then. Go and make the arrangements."

"Yes, Mizukage-sama."

Master Yuan and Uehara Shu walked out.

Master Yuan left the forging island.

Uehara Shu entered his forging room, where he smelted materials for the Hammer of Zudon while looking at the semi-transparent panel in front of him, where the numbers were slowly changing.

"If we can draw a green blueprint again this time, then we will choose one of the three ninja tools that can be as compatible as possible with Kisame Hoshigaki."

"This is the only thing I can do as a friend right now."

"If there really isn't one, then there's nothing I can do."

Chapter 146 Advanced Blueprints for Thirty Consecutive Draws

"Kakashi, it's you again!"

Kisame Hoshigaki grinned as he looked at the figure in front of him.

"This is the fourth time, isn't it?"

"You lost the first three times."

Should we try again this time?

A Konoha ninja who was not far away heard Kisame Hoshigaki's words and cursed him for being shameless.

"In the previous few encounters between this guy and Kakashi, he only had a slight advantage, and the fights all ended without a clear winner."

"Now you actually have the nerve to say he won the first three times?"

"In ninja battles, the outcome is never certain until the very last moment!"

"How shameless."

"It's not about ability, but about mindset."

"I'm improving, how can you be regressing?"

A sharp sound rang out.

Kisame Hoshigaki gave Kakashi no chance. After finding an opening, he launched a series of fierce attacks on Kakashi, who fell into a disadvantageous position faster than ever before.

Kisame Hoshigaki raised Kiri Ichimonji.

"This guy is different from before."

Kisame Hoshigaki swung his sword and slashed fiercely.

"But"

Kisame Hoshigaki composed himself.

Kisame Hoshigaki rotated his wrist.

If the first attack fails, the second attack will come immediately.

A wound appeared, and the blood wouldn't stop flowing.

"Kakashi, you've disappointed me greatly!"

"Chidori!"

Kiritoichimonji's blade slashed towards Kakashi's hand.

The image of Rin Nohara's death flashed through Kakashi's mind.

"Pfft!"

However, the lightning above was trying to spread to Kisame Hoshigaki's hand.

"If I was like a ninja before, now I'm like an assassin."

I just watched calmly.

Kakashi could only retreat.

A wound appeared on Kakashi's arm.

"Water Release: Water Fang Blade Technique!"

Kisame Hoshigaki's fist landed, but it didn't have much power.

Accompanied by a voice.

Killing intent was brewing within Kakashi.

"Ding!"

"There are too many flaws."

"You are not stronger now; on the contrary, you are even weaker."

Kisame spun the Kiriichimonji in his hand and slashed at Kakashi. As Kakashi blocked the Kiriichimonji's attack, he clenched his other hand into a fist.
