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

He was able to clearly state the number of people he killed, along with their names, without any mistakes or omissions.

To be honest, I prepared in advance.

That would be preparing too well.

The Hozuki clan, so meticulous and detail-oriented, were even willing to sacrifice the lives of four members prematurely.

Therefore, the operation to assassinate Uehara Shu should have been handled much better, instead of being so "crude" as it is now.

Yagura believes that, most likely, Hozuki Izumo and the Hozuki clan are not from the same group.

"Take care of them."

Yagura fell with a sound.

The next moment, the ANBU ninjas rushed forward.

They overwhelmed the Hozuki ninja with their numerical advantage.

Some of the Hozuki ninjas were killed on the spot.

The remaining group was knocked to the ground, powerless to resist.

"We'll deal with it after we find a repairman!"

The Peach Fairy's Garden Box.

Uehara Shu didn't rush out.

Instead, they found a wooden cabin and went inside to rest.

Before being attacked by the Hozuki clan, Uehara Osamu was forging.

They almost finished creating Thor's wrath.

Killing two Hozuki members also cost Uehara Osamu a certain amount of chakra and stamina.

Uehara Osamu's condition is not very good right now.

"The Hozuki ninja attack will cause quite a stir."

"The village should be able to react quickly and go to provide support."

"But we don't know if Obito Uchiha will control Yagura and do anything."

Osamu Uehara knew about Obito Uchiha's hatred for Kirigakure.

Therefore, as the great blacksmith of Kirigakure and the one who led Kirigakure to rise to power, he would inevitably be hated by Obito Uchiha.

"We'll go out after we've recovered our chakra and stamina."

The inside of Peach Fairy's Garden Box is essentially another small world.

However, some of the sounds from outside can also reach the Garden Box.

Sudden.

The sounds outside disappeared.

It was as if everything had suddenly become quiet.

Immediately afterwards, Uehara Shu heard two exclamations.

But the exclamation didn't come from outside.

It's inside the box in the courtyard.

Uehara Shu's eyes flickered.

"Has someone entered the Garden Box?"

Uehara Shu quickly stepped forward, concealing his aura and hiding his figure, carefully observing.

Soon, two figures came into Uehara Xiu's line of sight.

"They were dressed the same way I killed those two before."

"Also an attacker of the Hozuki clan."

Uehara Osamu narrowed his eyes slightly.

But they didn't act immediately.

Once inside the Garden Box, those unaware of the situation often walk towards their own death, and Uehara Shu doesn't even need to intervene.

Faced with the unfamiliar environment, the two Hozuki ninjas were initially somewhat panicked.

"where is this place?"

"Aren't we in Uehara Osamu's forge?"

"The rest of the villagers have been alerted and have come to the Forging Island."

"Everyone was attacked and scattered."

"We are too, but how did we suddenly end up here?"

"Forest, wooden house, stream"

One of the Hozuki ninjas suddenly had a thought.

"Do you think there might be a device on the forging island that can summon people through spirits?"

"Just like how our Hozuki clan uses scrolls and the Seven Ninja Swords of Summoning?"

"That's right, it's like a ninja using a summoning technique to summon a spirit beast."

"It is very likely that Uehara Osamu left the Forging Island through this device."

"And now, we've just happened to run into that situation."

Another Hozuki ninja's eyes lit up.

"Does this mean we've arrived at Uehara Shu's hiding place?"

"Uehara Shu is nearby!"

"Do we have a chance to kill Uehara Shu?"

"Great!"

"We've been fortunate enough to achieve such a great feat. From now on, our status in the family will be second only to the clan leader."

"Find Uehara Shu and kill him!"

The two immediately began searching their surroundings.

Bright red fruits hung from the branches.

A member of the Hozuki clan casually plucked two.

One for myself, and one for my companion.

Since they recognized the fruit and didn't detect any poison, the two didn't suspect anything. They simply wiped it a couple of times and put it in their mouths.

The fruit is not considered poisonous.

It's more like a kind of energy that controls the mind.

As the fruit entered their mouths, their expressions gradually changed.

His eyes became somewhat duller than before.

The two of them didn't notice.

But Uehara Osamu noticed it.

"Now is the time to make a move."

Raise your hand.

"Water Release: Water Gun Technique!"

After eating the fruit, the sluggish Hozuki ninja was unable to react in time.

"boom!"

Uehara Osamu's water cannon pierced through the head of a Hozuki ninja.

Blood splattered everywhere.

The Hozuki ninja collapsed to the ground.

The remaining Hozuki ninja was shocked.

Fire Release: Crimson Spider!

The flames coalesced into the shape of a giant spider and lunged at the Hozuki ninja.

Uehara Shu's figure was hidden behind the spider.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Whip Technique".

A whip formed from lightning bound the Hozuki ninja.

At the same time, Uehara Shu took out the Hammer of Zudon and slammed it down.

"Crack!"

Instantly, Hozuki Ninja's chest caved in.

But he did not die immediately.

Uehara Osamu did it on purpose.

"You Hozuki clan want to kill me?"

"You deserve to die!"

Despite being severely injured, Hozuki Ninja remained ferocious, glaring angrily at Uehara Shu. If looks could kill, Uehara Shu would have been torn to pieces by now.

"It's all because of you that the situation of our Hozuki clan has been deteriorating."

"You were able to forge those ninja swords only because you built upon the foundation of our Hozuki clan's blacksmithing skills."

"But instead of being grateful to our Hozuki clan, you've targeted us."

"They oppose our Hozuki clan at every turn."
