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

It's just a slightly larger piece.

Forging Island.

Pipa Juzo looked at Uehara Shu across from him and said.

"You've already mastered these water-style ninjutsu, Xiu. You'll have no problem using them in battle."

"Continuing to invest time in practice can indeed lead to improvement, but it's not cost-effective in the short term."

"Next, I'll teach you some new Water Release ninjutsu."

Pipa Juzo was somewhat surprised by Uehara Shu's learning speed.

Previously, Uehara Shu learned the Water Release: Water Prison Technique after hearing it once and seeing it once, which made Biwa Juzo realize that Uehara Shu was a genius in Water Release techniques.

But now, Juzo Biwa discovers that Osamu Uehara might be even more talented than he had previously imagined.

However, this is not because Pipa Juzo made a mistake in his estimation.

During this time, Uehara Shu's Water Release talent was further enhanced.

This made Juzo Biwa even more eager to cultivate Shu Uehara's abilities in water-style techniques.

In Biwa Juzo's view, it would be a waste for someone with such talent not to learn more Water Release ninjutsu and improve their Water Release skills.

Chapter 29 My body felt completely drained.

"The ninjutsu I'm going to teach you next is an A-rank water-style ninjutsu called Great Waterfall Technique."

"It creates a large volume of water with tremendous force, just like a waterfall."

"This ninjutsu consumes a lot of chakra and requires a high level of chakra control, but its power is also very strong. Xiu, watch carefully."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pipa Juzo formed a hand seal facing the sea.

Normally, this is not a ninjutsu that a Chunin should learn.

However, Uehara Shu's talent led Biwa Juzo to believe that it was worth a try.

"Water Escape, the Great Waterfall Technique!"

next moment.

Pipa Juzo suddenly opened his mouth.

A powerful stream of water gushed from Pipa Juzo's mouth.

At first, it was a water ball, but behind the water ball, there was more water.

It is very large, very fast, and has an extremely strong impact.

It also comes with a certain amount of rotational force.

It's like an ocean current surging out from the depths of the sea.

"boom!"

The Great Waterfall Technique of Pipa Juzo landed on the ground.

It continuously impacts the ground.

Uehara Shu could clearly feel the power of this ninjutsu, which was far superior to the Water Dragon Bullet Technique.

Finally, the water flow stopped.

All the water on the ground has disappeared.

A deep pit appeared.

The depth at the center reached over ten meters.

This is not loosely structured sand, but rather tough soil.

"Xiu, you come and give it a try."

"Yes, Senior Juzo."

Uehara Shu stepped forward and stood next to Biwa Juzo. He first recalled what Biwa Juzo had said and the scene of Biwa Juzo using ninjutsu just now, and then formed hand seals.

"Water Escape, the Great Waterfall Technique!"

Uehara Shu felt that the moment he completed the hand seals, a large amount of chakra was drawn out of his body and directed towards him.

When this chakra condensed together, it turned into a stream of water.

"boom!"

A waterfall technique exactly the same as the one used by Juzo Biwa appeared.

After the water flow disappeared, a pit of similar depth appeared next to the deep pit created by Pipa Juzo.

However, the power of this ninjutsu is indeed very strong.

However, the consumption is also enormous.

Uehara Shu felt his steps were a little unsteady. Given his current condition and the amount of chakra in his body, he would run out of chakra after using the Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique only twice.

It's roughly like Kakashi after using the Lightning Blade.

This is already the case when Uehara Shu possesses a perfect level of Water Release talent, and when using Water Release, he consumes far less energy than other Water Release ninjas.

The root cause is that Uehara Shu's current basic attributes are not good enough.

Firstly, Uehara Shu didn't have any special bloodline; he was just an ordinary ninja.

Secondly, Uehara Osamu's basic training was insufficient.

Third, Uehara Shu's age also limited his chakra reserves.

The former is difficult to change.

The latter two require time.

It's not just Uehara Osamu who has this problem; almost all ordinary ninjas have it.

But with diligent training, this problem won't be too significant once you reach adulthood.

Moreover, there might be another solution for Uehara Osamu.

That is, the rewards of the blacksmith system.

"It really works! Not only does it work, it also gave me a pleasant surprise. Such water-style talent is far beyond what I can compare to."

Pipa Juzo sighed inwardly.

"Xiu, you've given me another surprise."

When it comes to ninjutsu, rank doesn't tell the whole story.

Because this is a comprehensive evaluation, it depends on many factors.

It is related to the strength of ninjutsu, the difficulty of learning it, the ease of using it, and so on.

However, the Waterfall Technique is more difficult to learn than the Water Dragon Bullet Technique and the Water Fang Bullet Technique.

Uehara Shu learned the water prison technique after hearing it only once.

Uehara Shu learned the Water Dragon Bullet Technique and the Water Fang Bullet Technique after practicing them several times.

Pipa Juzo originally thought that it would take Uehara Osamu quite some time to learn the Great Waterfall Technique.

However, Uehara Shu actually learned the Great Waterfall Technique after only listening to it once and watching it once.

It's even faster than learning the Water Dragon Bullet Technique and the Water Fang Bullet Technique.

This surprised Hibiki Juzo.

“Your talent in water-style techniques is not just stronger than mine, it’s far stronger. Perhaps it’s because you’ve never trained in this area before, so your performance was somewhat worse at the beginning.”

"It's because you're already familiar with it and used to it."

"Your current state is your true talent."

"In that case, my previous plan is no longer suitable."

Uehara Osamu asked the question subconsciously.

"Senior Juzo, what's the plan?"

Pipa Juzo said, "The plan I arranged for you before was a two-year plan. In the next six months, I will teach you some advanced water-style ninjutsu."

"Six months later, Xiu, you will spend another year and a half familiarizing yourself with these ninjutsu and improving your basic abilities. If all goes well, you will be able to reach the level of a Jonin."

"In that case, Xiu will have a certain ability to protect himself."

Uehara Osamu nodded.

Before the Fourth Shinobi World War, Jonin were already considered to be of considerable strength in the shinobi world.

They were elites for any ninja village.

Even setting aside Jonin, Special Jonin are already capable of standing on their own.

Take Konoha as an example.

Special Jonin like Ibiki Morino, Anko Mitarashi, Genma Shiranui, and Hayate Gekko can all be recognized for their extremely important work and have earned the Hokage's trust.

“However, if you can learn even the Great Waterfall Technique in one go, you won’t need to spend half a year learning the high-level water-style ninjutsu I was originally going to teach you.”

"If you learn so quickly, it certainly won't take that long to become familiar with and master it."

Pipa Juzo continued, "In the next six months, I plan to teach you three Water Release ninjutsu."

"Water Fang Blade Technique".

"The technique of bursting water and creating waves."

"And, the Water Array Pillar Technique."

"It seems that you can learn everything in the next few days."

"My original plan for you, which lasted six months, could be completed in just a few days."

"After you learn these ninjutsu, I'll study how to arrange your basic training plan."

"It may take a little time."
