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

"Okay, let's do it now."

Chapter 3 Dungeon Quest: Akame's Regret

The Dimensional Materials dungeon is now open.

Startup successful.

Transmitting.

When Uehara Shu opened his eyes, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar area.

A small town.

It has a typical border town style.

A faint glimmer of hope amidst the desolation.

It exudes an aura of unbridled growth.

"Summon thugs!"

Kisame Hoshigaki watched as Uehara Shu's figure suddenly disappeared, and then he felt an attraction coming from his own body.

Kisame Hoshigaki did not resist.

The next moment, Kisame Hoshigaki appeared next to Osamu Uehara.

"Xiu, is this the blacksmith's sacred sanctuary?"

Kisame Hoshigaki looked around curiously.

Uehara Osamu nodded.

"Yes."

A figure walked towards the two of them.

A woman with long, black hair and a slightly slender figure, dressed in a smart combat uniform, with a knife tucked at her waist, had a beautiful face and red eyes that stared straight at Yuan Xiu.

A voice rang in Uehara Shu's mind.

Dungeon Quest: Akame's Regret.

Task Reward: Kirito's written materials.

Do you want to accept the task?

Kisame Hoshigaki became alert the moment he saw Akame appear.

Kisame Hoshigaki could sense that Akame exuded a strong aura of having killed people.

Many people have died at the hands of Akame.

"Kisame, don't be nervous. She's not our enemy, she's our client."

"Client?"

Kisame Hoshigaki was the one whose expression softened slightly.

Even though it was strange that the blacksmith's sanctuary was different from what he had expected, Kisame Hoshigaki understood what the term "client" meant.

For mission ninjas, the client is the employer.

In the world of ninjas, there is a saying that goes like this.

For a ninja, nothing is more important than the mission, not even the ninja's life.

The decision-maker for the task is the person who commissioned it.

Uehara Shu silently recited a sentence in his mind.

"receive."

Immediately, Akame on the other side reacted, just like an NPC that had been triggered.

A scene appeared before the two of them.

A young girl, in her childhood, lived on the streets, making a living by begging and scavenging, and depended on her younger sister for survival.

One day, the two were noticed by the Imperial Agency, adopted, and trained to be assassins.

After passing an extremely brutal selection process, the two girls became elite-level assassins.

However, the trial is not yet completely over.

After the two parted ways, the girl was sent to a small town on the edge of the empire to undergo further trials.

Here, the girl met someone, a warm-hearted female shop owner.

The two formed a good friendship.

But the girl suddenly received an order from the empire to kill the female shopkeeper.

Under the empire's orders, the female shopkeeper's identity is that of a spy from an enemy country.

However, the girl was not entirely convinced that her friend was a spy, so she went to the female shop owner to test her.

After receiving a negative answer, the girl had no intention of making a move.

But at that moment, the female shop owner suddenly attacked the girl.

The girl was forced to fight back and killed the female shop owner.

But much later, the girl learned that the shop owner was not a spy at all.

All of this was a trial arranged by the imperial institutions.

The female shop owner was forced into becoming a "spy" by the empire.

They threatened the lives of the female shop owner's family.

The empire's true purpose was to make the girl kill the person she had befriended after they had formed a friendship.

Only then can you be considered to have passed the trial.

Only then can one be considered a qualified assassin for the empire.

As the scene ended, Akame's voice rang out.

"I want you to help me stop my past self, save Martha, and let Martha and her family live a good life!"

Uehara Osamu nodded.

"it is good."

Akame's figure disappeared.

Uehara Shu looked at the small shop across the street. At that moment, there were two people inside the shop, two women.

The woman was older and slightly plump. She was dressed simply, but she couldn't hide her figure. She walked with a trembling gait that drew people's attention.

On the other side was Akame, who was even younger.

The two got along like friends, laughing and talking.

Sudden.

The female shop owner's expression changed slightly. She seemed reluctant, her face showing struggle, but she still pulled out a dagger from behind her and rushed towards Akame, forcing herself to appear fierce.

"Kisame!"

"clear."

Kisame Hoshigaki was just about to launch a counterattack when Akame was about to retaliate.

"Water Release: Water Mist Technique!"

Quickly form hand seals.

In an instant, a large amount of water mist appeared, enveloping the entire surrounding area, including the small shop.

Akame's vision was obstructed.

The same applies to female shop owners.

Uehara Shu arrived next to the female shop owner.

"Don't be afraid, we are the revolutionary army, we've come to save you."

Uehara Osamu fabricated an identity for himself to make the female shop owner more likely to believe him.

Then Uehara Shu picked up the female shop owner and rushed out of the shop.

Kisame Hoshigaki is currently fighting against Akame.

Uehara Shu helped the female shop owner out of the mist before putting her down.

While leading the female shopkeeper further away from Akame, he said, "Given your current condition, you can no longer survive in the Empire. You'll have no choice but to cross the border."

Where are your family members?

The female shop owner said, "In the underground prison in the center of town."

"Okay, I'll take you out of town first, then bring your family here. Wait for me."

The female shop owner stared blankly at Uehara Osamu's departing figure.

The moment the imperial agency approached her, the female shop owner was prepared to die. All she could do was wait for death to come. She never expected that someone would save her.

"Revolutionary Army"

When Uehara Shu returned to the town, Kisame Hoshigaki had already gotten rid of Akame.

"I used my water clone technique to lure it in another direction. Xiu, what do we do next?"

"We'll go to the town center and rescue the female shop owner's family. If anyone tries to stop us, we'll kill them."

"it is good."

The underground prison in the town center is indeed guarded.

However, these people are far less powerful than Akame.

After all, their job is simply to look after ordinary people.

Let's not talk about Kisame Hoshigaki anymore.
