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

"Hiruzen shouldn't have given the Hokage position to Minato."

Even if I don't think much of Orochimaru, I'm still a better choice.

"Look at the situation now."

"Minato couldn't defeat Kisame Hoshigaki or Suizaki Hoshigaki."

"We still have to rely on me."

Just then, a figure rushed over, looking flustered.

"Lord Danzo."

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic? What's the matter?"

"Lord Danzo, something terrible has happened! Ryuma-senpai's squad has been routed and almost completely wiped out. Among the Kirigakure ninjas was a member of the Shinigami Squad, and Ryuma-senpai died on the spot."

Danzo's expression froze instantly.

"What did you say?"

"Lord Danzo, Ryuma-senpai is dead."

The Root ninja lowered his head.

Danzo's face turned very ugly.

Just now, Danzo was still feeling smug.

His own strategy and Minato Namikaze's performance formed a stark contrast.

Danzo did not believe that there would be any surprises in Aburame Ryoma's actions.

After all, on the Hidden Mist army's side, all the ninjas with any real skill were on the front lines.

"There are even hidden ninjas and Zanpakuto?"

"Who is that ninja?"

"What kind of Zanpakuto is that?"

The Root ninja shook his head.

"I don't know. Our people haven't seen that ninja, and he wasn't mentioned in any previous information about Kirigakure."

"And that Zanpakuto should be an ice-attribute Zanpakuto, similar to the Blue Rose Sword."

Danzo's heart sank to the bottom.

It was more than just a failed operation.

Furthermore, Aburame Ryoma was one of Danzo's generals.

They are particularly adept at hacking.

It played a very good role in Danzo's previous actions.

But now, he has been killed so suddenly.

Furthermore, the appearance of Han Qiong made Danzo unaware of just how many Zanpakuto were still hidden in Kirigakure.

"The Hidden Mist Village protected that great blacksmith too well."

Danzo did try to obtain information about Uehara Osamu.

On the contrary, Danzo tried many, many things.

However, they all ended in failure.

All I knew was Uehara Osamu's name.

They knew nothing about Uehara Shu's appearance, Uehara Shu's strength, or the situation of the guards around Uehara Shu.

"Oshu Uehara!"

Two days later, Mashiro arrived at the front line.

Danzo was the one who knew the name of the ninja who killed him and what abilities he possessed.

"truth!"

"The Zanpakuto I wield is named Hanju.

"An ice skate."

Facing the attack from the Konoha ninja, Mashiro raised his ninja sword.

"Tear me apart, Han Qiong!"

An ice dragon appeared and attacked the Konoha ninja on the other side.

Compared to his own Ice Release ability, Mashiro discovered that using chakra to activate the Frost Dome was more effective in dealing damage.

The ice dragon can act autonomously or under its own control.

And I don't need to get close to it.

It can threaten the opponent from a distance.

In addition, the ice dragon has a very strong attack ability, like a murderer born with a killing instinct.

As for defense, it's not bad either.

If any part is damaged, it can be repaired by replenishing its own chakra.

Mashiro herself stood with the other Hidden Mist ninja.

No Konoha ninja can threaten Mashiro.

The ice dragon was used by Mashiro as if it were a summoning beast.

There are also spirit beasts that are not afraid of death.

"How disgusting!"

"The power of this Zanpakuto is disgusting."

"After fighting for so long, we were just fighting a puppet."

"It poses no threat to that guy at all."

"It's not a tortoise shell, but it's even more disgusting than a tortoise shell."

"Too cowardly."

The Konoha ninja glared angrily at Mashiro.

This behavior—hiding in a safe area and relying entirely on the Ice Dragon to deal damage—is greatly despised by the Konoha ninja.

"Come out here if you dare!"

"Do you dare to fight head-on?"

However, because Mashiro is a female ninja.

Therefore, the ninja world is more tolerant of Mashiro's fighting style.

If Mashiro were a male ninja, there would be even more such comments.

Even within Kirigakure, some people might think Mashiro is too "sleazy".

"Mashiro, don't let them influence you."

"I understand."

Mashiro gripped the Frost Dome tightly in her hand.

Mashiro has no competitive spirit; that's why she volunteered to come to the front lines early.

On one hand, it was to repay Uehara Osamu's trust in him.

On the other hand, it was also to avenge the Hidden Mist ninja who sacrificed their lives to protect him.

Mashiro was completely unconcerned about the insults hurled at the Konoha ninjas.

"Mashiro, cooperate with me."

Ringo Ameyuri took the initiative to move closer to Mashiro.

"how should I do?"

"Control the situation, leave the rest to me."

Ice Release is a highly practical ninjutsu.

Not only is it extremely lethal, but it also has a significant advantage in terms of control.

The effect of the icy cold air will make it even more difficult for the opponent to move.

If a part of the other person's body is frozen, they will be severely restricted.

Previously, Ringo Ameyuri had cooperated with Biwa Juzo when facing the Sunagakure army.

It was controlled by the Loquat Juzo.

Immediately afterwards, Ringo Amori approached.

Once Aoe Namazumi lands a hit, then it's all Ringo Ameyuri's turn from now on.

Killing an opponent whose overall strength is greater than one's own is not a difficult task.

Because Ringo Ameyuri arrived at the Konoha battlefield, where the fighting was even more intense.

Ringo Ameyuri wants to kill more members of the Hyuga clan to avenge herself on the Hyuga.

There was no chance to coordinate with "Ice Release".

But now that Mashiro has appeared, she can cooperate with Ringo Ameyuri.

An ice dragon is wreaking havoc.

The Konoha ninjas had no desire to fight the Ice Dragon, because even if they won, it would be meaningless.

A chilling aura spread outwards.

It covered a small area nearby.
