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

"In the world of Akame, Kiriichimonji is merely a servant."

"But compared to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, they are not inferior."

Chapter 5 Forging Begins - Kiriichimonji

Uehara Osamu looked at the blueprints.

At this point, the Kiriichimonji blueprint no longer had the ability to allow Uehara Shu to go to the dimensional material dungeon again.

If you say you only have one chance, then you really only have one chance.

Uehara Osamu was grateful that he still had a friend like Kisame Hoshigaki.

Otherwise, even facing the young Akame, Uehara Shu wouldn't be confident he could complete the mission.

The current blueprint is simply a forging blueprint.

However, the forging process and material usage are clearly marked on the label.

However, given the complexity of the blueprints, even with such detailed annotations, not everyone can understand them; even Yuan Xiu found them somewhat perplexing.

Even without any buffs, Uehara Shu's forging skills were still quite good.

It's already among the top in the forging island.

Forging Island has declined drastically over the past few decades.

Uehara Osamu looked at it very carefully.

"There is only one set of materials. Once you fail, there is no chance to start over."

"Must succeed!"

If it weren't for the bad news brought by Kisame Hoshigaki, Osamu Uehara would still have a chance to make a mistake.

However, after learning that the village leadership had decided to shut down the forging island, Uehara Shu knew that he could not fail.

Once the Forging Island is abolished, your forging skill bonus will disappear.

Furthermore, he will be forced to become a mission ninja.

Being a mission ninja in Kirigakure is worse than just defecting.

However, defection is not a good option if one lacks the strength to do so.

This is an outcome that Uehara Shu absolutely did not want to see.

"We cannot fail!"

It took Uehara Shu to finish reading and memorizing the contents of the blueprints in half a day.

However, it was not forged immediately.

Instead, he closed his eyes and mentally rehearsed the scenario.

This is a process that all blacksmiths go through; without talent in this area, one is not qualified to become a blacksmith.

After several rehearsals, Uehara Shu finally opened his eyes.

However, the forging process has not yet officially commenced.

Instead, they used other materials to simulate forging.

Because the materials are different and have different properties, the results of forging will definitely be different.

However, following the same steps and methods can still provide some reference.

A series of metallic clanging sounds rang out.

It wasn't until a whole day had passed that Uehara Shu finally emerged from the forging room.

"How about repairing it?"

"The testing is almost complete."

Uehara Osamu said, "Once I've rested enough, we can begin the formal forging process."

"Kisame, do you have anything to eat?"

"Have."

When Kisame Hoshigaki saw that Uehara Shu had been in the forge for so long without coming out, he went to prepare food. He didn't need to leave; he simply had his water clone prepare it.

This is the convenience of the clone technique.

Especially in areas where there is no similar intelligence, there is more room for maneuver.

Previously in the Dimensional Materials dungeon, Kisame Hoshigaki also used this to divert the attention of young Akame and the Imperial personnel, thus successfully leading the female shop owner and her family to a safe area.

While eating, Uehara asked.

"Kisame, what's the situation on Forging Island now?"

"The official order hasn't come down yet, but many blacksmiths have already left, leaving only a few. People outside think that Forging Island is practically dead."

Kisame Hoshigaki said.

"But as long as Xiu is here, he can definitely restore the reputation of Forging Island to what it once was."

"Those who leave now will definitely regret it!"

Kisame Hoshigaki looked down on the blacksmiths who had left.

Uehara Shu re-entered the forging room.

The metal obtained from the dimensional material dungeon.

Melting is carried out at high temperatures.

This high temperature comes partly from magma and partly from chakra.

That is, fire-style chakra.

In a sense, this is also a kind of ninjutsu, but it is not suitable for use in battle, so it is not given the title of ninjutsu. It continuously consumes chakra and creates continuous high temperature.

Gradually, the metal softened.

Uehara Osamu swung a hammer and placed the metal on the forging table.

"Ding!"

When the hammer falls, the metal deforms.

This process is called hammering.

The toughness of metal is improved through continuous hammering and forging.

This is the foundation of a blacksmith.

But it's not that simple.

It really tests a blacksmith's skills.

On Forging Island, there are specific methods for hammering, which can also be called techniques. By coordinating breathing, chakra, and rhythm, different hammering effects can be produced.

The hammering technique that Uehara Osamu's teacher taught him was called Lava Forging.

It can greatly increase the toughness of metals.

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

After repeating it hundreds of times, Uehara Osamu stopped.

This is the limit of lava forging; continuing to forge will not have any additional effect on the metal.

Next, Uehara Osamu began the shaping process.

The forged metal is shaped into a katana.

This process is relatively simple.

But now comes the main event.

Enchantment.

This is Uehara Osamu's nickname.

In the world of Naruto, there is no such name on Forging Island.

But these two words are just right.

In the Dimensional Material Dungeon, Uehara Shu obtained three types of materials.

One type is the base metal, and the other two are additional materials that enhance toughness and sharpness, and materials that allow Kiriichimonji to possess special abilities.

The first and second materials were used during the forging process.

However, the third material should be used after the shaping process is complete.

Uehara Shu held a green, crystal-like object in his hand.

"This is the key to Kiriichi's writing; whether it succeeds or fails depends on this one move."

Without this green crystal, the ninja swords forged would only be slightly more durable and sharper than ordinary ninja swords.

But it was just an ordinary ninja sword.

However, if green crystal could be incorporated into it, the resulting ninja sword would be completely different.

It can certainly reach the level of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Uehara Shu closed his eyes and recalled the process of his previous deduction.

Once, twice, three times

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, Uehara Shu opened his eyes, crushed the green crystal in his hand, and a pale green liquid flowed out and landed on the blade blank.

Uehara Shu placed his hands on the sword blank, gathering chakra in his hands.

Under Uehara Shu's control, the green liquid slowly merged into the blade blank.
