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

Uehara Osamu pondered this in his heart.

"Perhaps there was a reason why the Bamboo Clan was almost wiped out in the original story."

"It's not just a problem with Kirigakure."

"The bamboo-harvesting clan itself also has significant problems."

Pipa Juzo continued, "The Taketori clan certainly wouldn't dare to act recklessly on Forging Island. When you go outside, I'll accompany you, so you don't need to worry too much about your safety."

"However, Xiu, you still need to improve your strength as soon as possible."

"With your talent in water-style techniques, it's actually not difficult."

Uehara Osamu nodded.

“I know, Senior Juzo.”

"I suggest," said Pipa Juzo.

"Shall we continue the special training tomorrow?"

"it is good."

Water Shadow Building.

The Third Mizukage stood behind the window, looking towards the direction of the Forging Island, a look of joy on his face.

"Not bad."

"Kiriichimonji's ability is very special. It is an unhealable ability that can play a huge role in battle. Moreover, it takes effect as soon as it hits. It is actually stronger than the four lower swords among the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist."

"And this Blue Rose Sword is essentially an external Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, which directly increased Biwa Juzo's strength by nearly 30%, and that's not even the limit."

"When Juzo Biwa fully masters the Blue Rose Sword, he will be much stronger than before."

"More importantly, Xiu forged a second ninja sword in just half a month."

"This is such a pleasant surprise."

The appearance of Kiriichimonji already greatly surprised the Third Mizukage.

The Third Mizukage never imagined that Kirigakure could produce someone whose forging skills reached the level of the great blacksmiths of yesteryear.

Unexpectedly, a ninja sword of the level of the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist could appear on the Forging Island.

However, the Third Mizukage's expectation was that as long as Uehara Osamu could forge three ninja swords like Kiri Ichimonji, even if the latter two swords were slightly inferior, he would be satisfied.

But now it seems that the Third Mizukage realized he had underestimated Uehara Shujin far too much.

"Uehara Shu's forging skills are probably already superior to those of that great blacksmith from back then."

"The number of ninja swords that can be forged in the future will definitely be more than three."

"If we can maintain this level of efficiency, we can make at least dozens of shots, or even more."

"Even if efficiency decreases in the future, this number will definitely not be less."

Upon thinking of this, the Third Mizukage's breathing suddenly became rapid.

"What kind of improvement would that bring to Kirigakure?"

"Perhaps, in the future, my Hidden Mist Village can also sit in the position of the world's number one ninja village."

"It's not impossible."

"Who says Kirigakure has no future?"

Chapter 27 Uchiha Shisui of the Bamboo Clan

"From now on, Forging Island will be the most important place for the village."

"They are the hope for the village's future!"

"Hiwa Juzo's strength has been greatly improved, and he is in charge of the security of the forging island. So far, there are no problems."

"Sending more people over suddenly might not be the right thing to do."

"However, we can arrange for a squad of ANBU ninjas to be stationed nearby."

"In addition, the ninja swords forged by the craftsman are slightly different from the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist. The conditions for their use are more demanding, and they can exert a stronger force in the hands of a recognized ninja."

"We need to find a suitable user for the ninja sword that was forged in time."

"If the ninja sword is forged but no ninja emerges who can be recognized for it, then I, as the Mizukage, have failed in my duty and wasted Xiu's efforts."

Immediately afterwards, the Third Mizukage turned his gaze toward Taketori Island.

"The Taketori Clan"

"The situation in the village right now can only be described as terrible. They were already at a disadvantage on the battlefield, and then the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist suffered heavy losses."

"The morale of the entire village has plummeted."

"If it weren't for Xiu, the existence of the Bamboo Clan wouldn't be such a bad thing."

"The people of the Kaguya clan may not be good at being human, but they do have some strength. They can go to the battlefield and fight against ninjas from other ninja villages."

"At the same time, it can also increase the activity of the Blood Mist Village policy that I have arranged."

"But Xiu can bring a better future to the village."

"However, it is essential to ensure stability within the village."

"And the bamboo tug family is a very detrimental factor to stability."

"Especially now, the bamboo-harvesting clan is becoming increasingly detrimental to the stability of the village. With such a terrible situation outside the village, they have no sense of the big picture and only think about themselves."

"Not smart, very stupid, and arrogant."

"It's not just one or two people, but the vast majority of this family."

"This ninja clan is beyond saving."

The Third Mizukage's eyes flickered.

into the night.

After finishing today's documents, the Third Mizukage arrived at a relatively secluded courtyard in Kirigakure.

The person living in this courtyard is none other than Raiga Kurosuki, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

The Third Mizukage was dissatisfied with the Taketori clan.

However, they also knew the madness of the bamboo-collecting clan.

If he fails to fulfill the conditions he has already agreed to with Taketori Hikaru, who knows what kind of trouble Taketori Hikaru might cause.

The Third Mizukage wasn't worried about himself; what he was worried about was Taketori Hikaru causing trouble on the forging island.

Of the Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist, Taketori Hikaru proposed that only one of the following should be used: Hiramekarei, Samehada, or Raito.

Of these, the Third Mizukage did not want to hand over Hiramekarei to the Kaguya clan.

Samehada is currently being used by the Watermelon Mountain River Village Demon.

Of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, only three survived their crushing defeat.

Both of them fell into a state of depression after returning to the village.

Only Xiguashanhetun Gui quickly recovered and threw himself back into the village's work.

Therefore, after weighing the options, the Third Mizukage decided that the Raikiri would be the best choice.

"Mizukage-sama."

"Raiga, how have you been lately?"

Kurozuki Raiga gave a bitter laugh.

"They're barely alive."

With that, Kurozuki Raiga picked up the bottle and took a big gulp.

"Lord Mizukage, I apologize, but if I don't drink this now, I can't control myself. As soon as I close my eyes, all I can see are those images from that day."

"fine."

"Lord Mizukage, is there something you need from me?"

The Third Mizukage revealed his purpose.

"Raiga, you can choose one of the following as your new ninja sword: Sewing Needle, Executioner's Blade, Flying Spray, or Helmeppo."

Raiga Kurosuki immediately understood the meaning behind the Third Mizukage's words, and a self-deprecating expression appeared on his face.

"Is Lord Mizukage here to retrieve the Lightning Blade?"

"no problem."

"I'm useless now, and I'm no longer qualified to possess the Thunder Blade."

"However, Lord Mizukage, you didn't need to come here in person."

"Just send a member of the Anbu ninja over."

As he spoke, Kurozuki Raiga took out his Raito.

"Lord Mizukage, here you go."

"As for a new ninja sword, no need. Even if I had a new ninja sword now, I wouldn't be able to use it effectively. I can no longer go to the battlefield. Give the ninja sword to someone who deserves it more."

After gulping down a mouthful of sake, Kurosuki Raiga probably choked and started coughing violently.

"I apologize, Lord Mizukage, I lost my composure."

"I'll go clean up first."

The Third Mizukage watched Raiga Kurosuki's departing figure, shook his head, and sighed.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, as an elite squad directly under the Mizukage, not only possess extremely strong individual abilities but also hold a very high status in Kirigakure, earning the respect of countless people.

But now, everything has been broken.

A Konoha genin completely destroyed the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

It fell directly from the mountaintop into the silted ravine of the canyon.
