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

In addition to this, Obito Uchiha had another plan.

That is, to control the Hozuki clan.

The current situation in Kirigakure is one of conflict between the Hozuki clan and Zanpakuto (swords).

Obito Uchiha wanted to stop Osamu Uehara from forging more ninja swords.

To prevent Kirigakure from becoming powerful.

Therefore, killing Uehara Shu is the best option.

However, the existence of Ao's Byakugan and the shock that the Skeleton Emperor brought to Obito Uchiha made him dare not go directly to the Forging Island to attack Hara Shu.

Obito Uchiha wanted to use the Hozuki clan.

If the Hozuki clan could kill Uehara Osamu, that would be ideal.

Even if the Hozuki clan didn't actually threaten Uehara Shu's life, the process of attacking Uehara Shu could still yield a lot of valuable information.

Therefore, after taking control of Yagura, Obito Uchiha infiltrated the Hozuki clan and used genjutsu on Hozuki Kazuhiko.

"but"

Obito Uchiha rubbed his eyes.

"Using illusion magic to control two people in such a short time has greatly depleted my eye power."

"But fortunately, it was very rewarding."

Obito Uchiha finalized his three objectives regarding Kirigakure.

Two short-term goals.

First, the intensified policies in the Blood Mist Village led to more casualties in the Hidden Mist Village.

Second, kill Uehara Shu.

A long-term goal is to control Kirigakure and turn it into an aid to his Eye of the Moon plan.

However, what Obito Uchiha didn't know was...

Not long after he gained control of Yagura, Ao had already discovered it.

"Mizukage-sama."

Ao, Uehara Shu, and Genji all arrived before the phantom of the Third Mizukage.

"I saw that the Fourth Hokage has been controlled by illusion magic."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions immediately turned serious.

The Third Mizukage's face was grim.

"That guy really did come!"

The Third Mizukage looked at Master Yuan.

"Master, I'm counting on you now. Convene a meeting with the trustworthy high-ranking officials from each department, as well as the heads of the major ninja clans, and put on a grand show in front of Yagura."

"To make the mastermind think that he has control over the information of Kirigakure."

"Then, create opportunities to lure those people over."

"Ambush them."

"Break their limbs, seal their chakra, and dig out all the information from their minds. I want to see just how deep Konoha is hiding!"

Master Yuan nodded and asked another question.

"Lord Mizukage, are you going to intervene?"

The Third Mizukage thought for a moment.

"I will chair the first meeting."

Genji was indeed an elder of Kirigakure, holding an extremely high position in the village, second only to the Mizukage.

However, this matter involves the Fourth Mizukage.

The Third Mizukage felt that if he didn't step in, Genji might not be able to completely control the situation.

Some people might think that Yuan Shi wanted to "usurp the throne".

However, it's a different story when the Third Mizukage intervenes.

"Qing, you go with Master Yuan."

The Third Mizukage said, "Given the way those people in Konoha operate, they're likely controlling more than one person. There might even be others who have been controlled by genjutsu."

"Yes, Mizukage-sama."

The two stood up and prepared to leave.

However, before leaving, Qing thought of something.

"Lord Mizukage, shall we invite the Hozuki clan?"

"Ghost Lantern"

The Third Mizukage was well aware of the current conflict between the Hozuki clan and the village, a conflict that was no less intense than that between the previous Kaguya clan.

As the Shinigami Squad performed better and better, the Hozuki clan faced more and more criticism.

But this can't be blamed on Uehara Osamu, nor on the members of the Shinigami squad.

It was just a backlash from the Hozuki clan themselves.

They forcibly seized the Seven Ninja Swords and privatized them.

To belittle the Zanpakuto and the members of the Shinigami squad.

"Let's go together. After all, they are members of Kirigakure."

After saying this, the Third Mizukage suddenly felt that he had become a little more soft-hearted than he had been in life.

"Forget it, let's forget about the Hozuki clan for now."

"Given their current situation, informing them of this news carries the risk of them not cooperating, while not informing them won't affect our overall plan."

Yuan Shi and Qing exchanged a glance.

"Yes, Mizukage-sama."

Qing thought the Third Mizukage made sense.

Ao is now considered a member of Uehara Osamu's camp, and naturally, he is dissatisfied with the Hozuki clan.

As for Yuan Shi, he was free to do as he pleased.

Soon, under the arrangement of Master Yuan and Qing, these people arrived at the conference room prepared by Master Yuan.

They all came alone, without attracting the attention of anyone else.

Uehara Shu brought the Skeleton Emperor with him in advance.

It was hidden inside a wooden box.

In this way, when the Third Mizukage appears later, it will only be a phantom.

The Skeleton King will not be shown to the public.

Reduce the likelihood of these people overthinking.

One by one, figures walked in.

Uehara Osamu looked around.

Minister of Medical Affairs, Mayuko Ringo.

Captain of the Dark Guard.

The Minister of the Mission Department.

Minister of Police.

Head of the Ninja Academy.

Yuan Shi.

Kaguya Shinsui.

The chieftain of the dried persimmon clan.

It can be said that the core of Kirigakure is basically located here.

Besides the head of the Hozuki clan, the head of the Karatachi clan, and Yagura.

Many people were also sizing up Uehara Shu.

After all, in terms of age, Uehara Osamu was the youngest among those present.

However, in terms of importance, Uehara Osamu's presence was the most crucial.

No one dared to underestimate Uehara Osamu.

Some people were just meeting Uehara Osamu for the first time and were curious.

I'm curious about what someone who can forge so many Zanpakuto looks like.

"Everyone."

Master Yuan stood up and coughed lightly.

All eyes turned to them.

"Everyone here is a very important member of my Hidden Mist Village, the head of each department, and the head of each major ninja clan. The reason I have convened this meeting today is also extremely important."

"It concerns the survival of the village."

"Before the meeting begins, please allow me to introduce someone to you."

As Master Yuan finished speaking, the phantom of the Third Mizukage slowly appeared.

"Lord Mizukage?"

The Third Mizukage surveyed the area.

"Everyone is here."
