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

"You stole the skills, what do you plan to do with them?"

"Craft your own ninja tools?"

Within the Akatsuki organization, their ability to manufacture ninja tools is actually quite good.

This can be seen from the fact that Sasori of the Red Sand was able to create such powerful puppets.

There are also six combinations created by Nagato.

Even with the aid of the Rinnegan, it still shows that Nagato was capable of creating things.

"If I didn't know about the existence of Takumi Ninja Village."

"I've never heard of the Longan Extendable Sword."

"If you didn't know Yagura was under a genjutsu, you might actually believe it."

"But I know everything."

“I even know the name ‘Treasure Turtle’.”

"This means that your plan, Obito Uchiha, is doomed to fail."

Uehara Shu looked at the treasure turtle.

"However, since it dared to send itself to me, it proves that the Treasure Turtle does not possess any illusion magic. Otherwise, it would have been exposed as soon as Aoichi returned to Kirigakure."

"The Treasure Turtle and Uchiha Obito probably just reached a deal."

"It's very likely that Obito Uchiha promised Treasure Turtle something, and then used the lives of people Treasure Turtle cares about as a threat."

"Furthermore, since Obito Uchiha sent Treasure Turtle to steal my forging techniques, it proves that Treasure Turtle must have considerable ability in forging."

Uehara Osamu thought for a moment.

Right now, the forging island is short of skilled labor.

If you don't know the true nature of the treasure turtle, it might steal your skills and take them away.

However, if one knows the true nature of the treasure turtle, then it is impossible for the treasure turtle to take away the technology.

Instead, it forces the Treasure Turtle to work for free on Forging Island.

In addition, the legacy of Takumi-nin Village includes more than just the Dragon Eye Extendable Sword.

Uehara Shu had previously been interested in the ninja tools of Takumi Ninja Village.

I'm preparing to try and obtain it when the opportunity arises.

Unexpectedly, the treasure turtle has now come to us on its own initiative.

Even if those ninja tools aren't powerful enough, they can still be used as materials for ninja tools.

Just like the Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist.

"Lord Mizukage, if Treasure Turtle's skills are indeed quite good, I really need his help. However, the details involved are very important."

"The Treasure Turtle needs to stay on Forging Island for the foreseeable future."

Yagura nodded.

"No problem, Treasure Turtle, where are you?"

The tortoise hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

“Lord Mizukage, I’m fine too.”

First, establish the rule here in Yagura that Treasure Turtle is not allowed to leave the forging island. After returning to the forging island, arrange for the guards to secretly monitor Treasure Turtle.

This way, you can be 100% sure.

Once the Treasure Turtle tries to forcibly leave the Forging Island.

Yagura took the initiative to find reasons for the treasure turtle.

Then, send someone to secretly follow the treasure turtle and bring it back.

My forging techniques can never be leaked.

"By the way, Mizukage-sama, I'll be very busy for a while. If you need anything from me, just tell Kaguya Izumi."

Yagura raised an eyebrow, thinking that Uehara Shu was about to create a new ninja tool again, and smiled with some anticipation.

"it is good."

They returned to the forging island with the treasure turtle.

Uehara Shu went directly to Ota and Kaguya Izumi and explained the true situation of the Treasure Turtle.

Have Daejeon keep a close watch on the treasure turtle.

After that, the treasure turtle was handed over to Arafune.

"Wilderness Ship Two, this is the new blacksmith. You will take him under your wing and familiarize him with the situation."

"Yes, Minister."

As night fell, Uehara Shu left the forging island.

quietly.

There were only a few guards from the forging island, and a team of guards arranged by the Yuan Master.

They left Kirigakure.

Yagura had no idea.

Furthermore, since Uehara had given prior notice before leaving, even if Yagura needed to find Uehara before he returned but couldn't, he wouldn't suspect anything.

Obito Uchiha glanced back at Kirigakure and smiled.

"There is nothing to doubt."

"My plan was a success."

"If the treasure turtle sneaks up next to Uehara Shu, it will be able to learn Uehara Shu's techniques."

"If these technologies were given to Sasori of the Red Sand, they would surely have a good effect."

"To contribute to enhancing the strength of the Akatsuki organization."

But then, Obito Uchiha's expression darkened again.

Compared to Kirigakure, Konoha is now the one that Obito Uchiha is more worried about.

"Konoha"

"I never expected that the Nine-Tails' rampage that I orchestrated would plunge Konoha into a desperate situation, yet they were still able to turn things around."

"Right now, it's not a good time for me to make a move."

"I'll see how things go after the war between Konoha and these three ninja villages officially breaks out."

"Based on the situation at that time, we will make the next step of the plan."

"Gather information on the Tailed Beasts."

"Weaken the strength of the ninja village."

"Project Eye of the Moon, no matter what, I will make it succeed!"

"For Lin's sake, let's create a world of absolute peace, harmony, and happiness."

Two days later, Uehara Osamu arrived at the Water Temple.

It's very dilapidated.

Uehara Shu compared the Water Temple in his mind with the Fire Temple in his memory.

The two are simply incomparable.

After disguising himself, Uehara Osamu entered the temple.

There were only a dozen or so monks.

Half of them are just ordinary people, while the other half have the aura of chakra.

Uehara Osamu could tell that these monks were truly practicing.

It's not the kind of training a ninja undergoes.

Rather, it is a spiritual practice.

"The fact that Zhongji was able to withstand the mental invasion of the Dragon Scale Blade is inseparable from the time he spent at the Water Temple."

Before long, Uehara Osamu saw the sculpture that Nakayoshi had mentioned.

A Buddha statue.

The tall sculpture sits cross-legged, its muddy yellow exterior looking somewhat mottled.

The treasure is solemn.

Four arms.

Holding a handful of water in one hand.

He held muddy water in one hand.

Hold the water bottle in one hand.

Holding a drain bottle in one hand.

She wore Buddhist prayer beads around her neck, and a snake was coiled around her.

The Buddha statue looks somewhat worn, but you can tell that it was made with great care and attention to detail. It is truly the work of a master craftsman.

Even disregarding its symbolic meaning, it could probably be considered a work of art.

"Look, there really isn't anything special about it."

"Just like what Zhongji said."

"But this is the only thing left of the old Water Temple."

"If there are any traces of magical arts, they could only be here."

Uehara Shu closed his eyes, calmed himself down, and focused his senses.
