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

No, to be precise, it was half of the decapitation sword.

The materials were broken down and incorporated into the staff of Yama.

That's why this effect can be achieved.

It also granted Yama the Staff a third ability.

However, the ability to repair itself is probably not very useful for Yama with his staff.

The staff of Yama is not as fragile as the Executioner's Blade.

At the very moment that Uehara Osamu guided the complete contract.

The Hidden Mist army attacks the front lines of Konoha.

Zabuza suddenly felt a surge of intimacy with the Enma staff in his hand, as if it were connected to his bloodline, as if it wasn't the first time he had touched it, but rather as if he had used it countless times.

Now, Zabuza can confirm that what he holds in his hand is indeed a Zanpakuto.

Even though it looks tattered and broken, it's not even as good as an ordinary ninja sword.

However, among the ninja swords in Kirigakure that give people a sense of closeness, besides Samehada, there is only Zanpakuto.

"How about Zabuza?"

“Senior Zhongji, it seems that the Divine Staff Enma has acknowledged me. I feel a sense of closeness to him.”

"That's right."

Zhong Ji smiled.

"Congratulations!"

"This Zanpakuto doesn't look very good, but since it was forged by Lord Uehara, it must be pretty good. Zabuza, you can take a good look at it."

Zabuza nodded.

"Yes, Senior Zhongji."

Nakaji flashed away and returned to the vicinity of Hozuki Izumo.

Then, looking at Jiraiya opposite him, he took a deep breath.

One hand holds a dragon scale knife.

One hand holds a Buddhist rosary.

With the return of support from China and Kyrgyzstan, the pressure on Hozuki Izumo has been greatly reduced.

Hozuki Izumo sensed that Jiraiya was about to test him out.

However, with Nakayoshi's return, it will be a two-on-one situation. Even though Nakayoshi and Hozuki Izumo each have their own obvious disadvantages, it won't be easy for Jiraiya to defeat both of them.

Unbeknownst to anyone, in a corner of the battlefield, a pair of eyes were fixed on the direction of Hozumo Izumo, clearly displeased.

"This Hidden Mist Village!"

"That Uehara Shu!"

"They actually picked up the corpse of Manda that I killed and used it as material to make a ninja sword?"

"Uehara Shu, you're very good!"

"You took advantage of me before I could get anything from you?"

"Fine, I'll just take pity on you!"

"Once Treasure Turtle has learned all your forging techniques, I will take those techniques back to Akatsuki and forge ninja tools that are far stronger than your Zanpakuto."

Zabuza, wielding the divine staff Enma, quickly selected a target.

"Let's try this Yama Staff, see if it has any power."

"Hopefully it won't be too bad."

Zabuza lowered his expectations because of the appearance of the Enma Staff.

A surge of chakra was channeled into the staff of Enma.

However, nothing changed.

The Konoha ninja on the other side launched an attack.

A short sword was used to slash at Zabuza.

"Ding!"

There was a sound of metal collision.

Yama's staff did not break.

The short swords in the hands of the Konoha ninjas did not break.

However, as they got closer, the Konoha ninja saw Zabuza's Enma staff clearly and couldn't help but mock him.

"What is this?"

"A broken stick?"

"What are you trying to do, Zabuza Momochi, with that lousy stick?"

"A young genius from Kirigakure?"

"It's strange, really. Almost every one of the younger generation of geniuses in Kirigakure has a Zanpakuto, and those who don't have a Zanpakuto have a Great Grade Sword, except for Momochi Zabuza."

"Could it be that your reputation as a genius hasn't been recognized by Kirigakure at all?"

"No, that's not right, there's also Mei Terumi."

"But you can't compare to Mei Terumi."

"He is a genius with two bloodline limits. Even without a Zanpakuto, his strength is extremely high."

"You, Zabuza Momochi, are far from being good enough."

"Where did you pick up this rotten stick?"

"Could it be that he couldn't get a Zanpakuto, so he picked up a broken stick and pretended it was one?"

Zabuza's expression was rather unpleasant.

As a ninja who emerged from the Bloody Mist Village, Zabuza possessed a very strong heart. He wouldn't take ordinary insults to heart, but these words were different.

Most of these words are true.

Zabuza felt deeply hurt.

Watching as everyone else, one by one, obtained their Zanpakuto.

Only myself.

Now that he had finally obtained it, Zabuza was filled with doubt and uncertainty about the appearance and behavior of the Divine Staff Enma.

"Could it be that Lord Uehara still holds a grudge against me for leading the squad to carry out the order to shut down the forging island?"

"But I was just following orders."

"The one who gave the order was the Third Mizukage."

"Moreover, it is impossible for Lord Uehara to be so narrow-minded as to target me for this reason."

Zabuza recalled what Kisame Hoshigaki had said last time.

"If that were the case, Yama with the Staff of Gods wouldn't have given me any sense of closeness."

"That's definitely not the case."

"It must be that I just haven't found the right way to use the Yamato Staff yet."

Zabuza glared angrily at the Konoha ninja opposite him.

"What's your name?"

The Konoha ninja laughed.

"What, you still want to remember my name? Do you want your elders to avenge you? Momochi Zabuza, then remember this: my name is Yamashiro Aoba."

"I'm not a genius!"

"But I'm going to beat up a genius like you!"

Before he finished speaking, Yamashiro Aoba had already completed the hand seals.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

A massive fireball hurtled toward Zabuza.

"Water Release: Water Prison Technique!"

A spherical water prison appeared, and Zabuza threw it out. A binding ninjutsu was used by Zabuza as an offensive ninjutsu at this moment.

"boom!"

The two ninjutsu clashed.

It exploded violently.

The flame disappears.

Water droplets fell in all directions.

"never heard of that."

Zabuza snorted coldly.

"But you have become my opponent."

"Even Sarutobi Asuma fell to my hand, you are no match for me!"

Yamashiro Aoba narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Whether it works or not, we'll only know after we try. Let's try again!"

Yamashiro Aoba's speed increased once again. At the same time, a dozen crows appeared, circling around Yamashiro Aoba and Zabuza, harassing Zabuza.

On the other hand, it disrupts Zabuza's line of sight.

"That's it?"
