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

But then, Daejeon realized that this was impossible.

Uehara Osamu's time is limited.

Forge your Zanpakuto, undertake material acquisition missions, improve your forging skills, and train your personal strength.

It's fair to say that Uehara Osamu's time was packed full.

Forging a fine and sharp blade requires setting aside time.

It would be inappropriate to reduce the time spent on any of the above methods in order to forge a fine and sharp blade.

This is one of the reasons why Uehara Osamu didn't forge many high-quality swords.

Another point is that if too many good swords are forged in a short period of time, the reputation boost brought by good swords will decrease significantly, since good swords are different from Zanpakuto.

Zanpakuto are special, unique.

Its appearance immediately instilled fear and generated a lot of discussion.

If there are too many fine and sharp knives, people will get tired of seeing them.

Human nature is inherently greedy.

Once the need is met, the appetite will grow even larger.

Compared to producing a large number of good and fast swords in a short period of time and gaining a lot of reputation, this approach depletes the reputation of good and fast swords.

Uehara Osamu wanted to use it as a means to gain prestige in the long term.

Therefore, Uehara Shusuke would combine the forging of fine swords with the sword-forging competition.

Ota looked at the kunai in his hand.

There is already a clear gap above.

"Come again."

Ota threw away the kunai he was holding, took out a new one, and charged at Yoshikame Hoshigaki again.

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

After finishing his workout, Uehara Shu stretched his sore arms and went to the training ground, where he happened to see this scene.

Uehara Shu felt that he looked somewhat familiar.

"Senior Qing."

"build."

Qing turned around and looked at Shang Yuanxiu.

"Unexpectedly, after Yoshikazu Hoshigaki obtained that fine sword, it had an unexpected effect. The design of that fine sword is a perfect match for Yoshikazu Hoshigaki's fighting style."

"By the way, Xiu, what's the name of that knife's design?"

Qing asked.

"Broadsword".

Uehara Osamu said, "To be honest, I didn't expect that Ryoki would be able to use such a technique after obtaining it."

"My teacher once told me that this type of sword technique can only be used by ninjas who are extremely skilled in defensive sword techniques. Even in the samurai era, very few people mastered it."

"This technique is called Rock."

Qing's eyes lit up.

"A rock, indeed, as solid and hard as a huge stone."

Daejeon's attacks were quite fierce.

However, the dried persimmon tortoise remained as still as a boulder, steadfastly maintaining its position.

Defend first, then attack.

While defending, prepare for an attack.

Therefore, the attack speed will be very fast.

This is something that cannot be done using other ninja tools.

Even among ninja swords, it's difficult for katana-type ninja swords to achieve this.

Of course, the requirements for users are also extremely high.

Now, giving this broadsword to any of the guards nearby wouldn't be feasible.

"That's it."

Datian stopped.

If this continued, Ota feared he wouldn't be able to control his power, which could potentially seriously injure Yoshikame Hoshigaki.

Currently, Ota is suppressing his own strength as he fights against Hoshigaki Yoshikame.

"Thank you for your guidance, Captain Daejeon."

Da Tian nodded slightly.

Qing stepped forward.

"How about the good tortoise shell?"

"Reporting to the captain, very good."

Yoshikame Hoshigaki gripped his broadsword tightly.

"It's much easier to use than any ninja sword I've used before."

Uehara Shu walked away.

"Minister Uehara."

Uehara Osamu nodded.

"It seems that you and Bakuto are very compatible. You mastered the skills of the Rock School on your own without any instruction. If you continue to develop in this direction, you might be able to revive the Rock School."

"Rock?"

Yoshikichi was taken aback.

"It's the technique you just used, Ryoki, to prepare for an attack while defending against the opponent's attack."

"The main strategy is to adopt a defensive counter-attacking approach."

"Uehara Osamu said."

Yoshikame Hoshigaki wore a thoughtful expression.

"So this is called a rock, Minister Uehara. Thank you, I will definitely do my best."

Yoshiki Hoshigaki felt his heart pounding.

Previously, Yoshikichi Hoshigaki mainly used katana.

Even if you excel at defense, you can't use a katana like that.

This time, upon obtaining the broadsword, facing Ota's attack, Yoshikame Hoshigaki naturally felt the same way and subconsciously used it.

Upon hearing Uehara Osamu's words, Hoshigaki Yoshikame realized that this was actually a school of swordsmanship.

If I can revive this swordsmanship style, then I might be able to leave my mark on the history of Kirigakure, or even the history of the ninja world.

This was something that Yoshikame Hoshigaki would never have dared to even imagine before.

Therefore, Yoshikame Hoshigaki was very grateful to Osamu Uehara.

However, this was not entirely due to Uehara Osamu's efforts.

In the ninja world, there also exist ninja swords similar to broadswords.

For example, the decapitation sword.

It's just that nobody uses the Executioner's Blade as a defensive ninja sword.

Yoshikame Hoshigaki never received a scalpel.

To make a rock appear, a broadsword, dried persimmons, and a fine tortoise are all indispensable.

Both are important.

It might even require some luck.

However, many people believe that the emergence of the Rock School is more due to Osamu Uehara.

This greatly boosted Uehara Osamu's reputation.

In fact, this was an unexpected surprise for Uehara Osamu as well.

The sound of discussion arose from the nearby guards.

"The Rock School, that sounds pretty powerful."

"He is indeed very powerful. Hoshigaki Yoshikame's strength is far inferior to Captain Ota's, but just now, he blocked all of Captain Ota's attacks."

"Even if Captain Ota didn't use his full strength, it's enough to prove the strength of Yoshiki Hoshigaki when using the Rock Style sword technique. His defensive ability is extremely strong, and his counterattack speed is extremely fast."

“That’s right. And according to Minister Uehara, the Iwaseki school is a complete swordsmanship school. Yoshiki Hoshigaki has only grasped a little bit of it by chance.”

"If Yoshikame Hoshigaki continues to develop, his strength will surely increase further."

"Past wars have caused many things to be lost."

"Some things are actually quite good."

"Knife skills and sword skills are things from the samurai era, but they can certainly be combined with ninja techniques."

"That's the case in Konoha."

"The Hatake clan and the Gekko clan are both excellent at combining swordsmanship and ninjutsu."

"If Yoshiki Hoshigaki develops the Iwaki-ryu swordsmanship well, he might not be weaker than the Gekko clan and the Hatake clan. In addition, with the good katana forged by Uehara-cho, he might even be superior to them."

Uehara Osamu smiled as he looked at the increasing reputation number.
