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

It seeps in little by little.

The color of the knife blank seemed to change slowly during this process.

Time passed little by little.

This process is very slow.

Furthermore, it requires a very high level of control over Uehara Osamu's chakra.

Even a small mistake could lead to failure.

A figure led the way to the forging island.

Kisame Hoshigaki's eyes flickered when he saw the newcomer.

Chapter 6 Kisame Hoshigaki VS Zabuza

Zabuza was clearly surprised to see Kisame Hoshigaki.

"Kisame-senpai."

Both were outstanding young ninjas from Kirigakure and were aware of each other's existence.

Kisame Hoshigaki is older.

Therefore, Zabuza addressed Kisame Hoshigaki as "senpai" (senpai).

"Has the Mizukage's order been issued?"

asked Kisame Inikasaki.

Zabuza did not answer, but instead asked a question in return.

"What is Kisame-senpai doing here?"

Kisame Hoshigaki remained silent for a while.

"You should go somewhere else first. There are people forging things here, so you shouldn't be disturbed."

"forging?"

Zabuza narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The Mizukage's order has been issued. From now on, Kirigakure will no longer have a forging island or forging masters."

"so?"

Kisame Hoshigaki narrowed his eyes.

Zabuza shrugged and said, "So, everyone inside should stop, leave the forging island, and go to the Mizukage Building as ordered by the Mizukage to register as mission ninjas."

"Kid, are you sure?"

Kisame Hoshigaki stood up.

A murderous intent emanated from Kisame Hoshigaki.

The ninjas behind Zabuza instinctively took a few steps back.

But Zabuza did not.

There was even a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"Kisame Hoshigaki, you know the consequences of disobeying the Mizukage's orders, don't you?"

“I have the right to kill you right here and now.”

Both of them were geniuses from Kirigakure.

Kisame Hoshigaki is a few years older than Zabuza.

Therefore, in terms of reputation, Kisame Hoshigaki is now much better than Zabuza.

However, Zabuza was not convinced by Kisame Hoshigaki.

Zabuza sees this as an opportunity to prove himself.

To have a legitimate battle with Kisame Hoshigaki.

Such opportunities don't come around all the time.

Zabuza's hand pressed against the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Kisame Hoshigaki noticed Zabuza's movements, and his eyes sharpened.

"Then let's see if you have the ability!"

Just at this time.

"Crack!"

The door to the forging room opened from the inside.

"Kisame, it's done!"

Uehara Shu walked out and was slightly taken aback when he saw the situation outside.

The atmosphere was very solemn.

Kisame Hoshigaki was facing off against a young ninja. Behind the young ninja, several other ninjas stood somewhat helplessly, unsure whether to help Zabuza or stop the two of them.

It wasn't until Uehara Osamu walked out.

Upon hearing Uehara Shu's voice, Kisame Hoshigaki's face lit up with joy.

"Great, Xiu, I knew you could succeed."

Zabuza frowned and looked at the ninja sword in Uehara Shu's hand.

In terms of ninja swords, Zabuza is actually the same as Kisame Hoshigaki.

They all yearn to own their own ninja sword and to become one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

When Zabuza looked at the ninja sword in Uehara Shu's hand, he immediately sensed that the ninja sword in Uehara Shu's hand seemed to be different from ordinary ninja swords.

Then I thought of what Kisame Hoshigaki said earlier.

A guess surfaced in Zabuza's mind.

The next moment, when Zabuza looked at the ninja sword in Uehara Shu's hand, a burning light appeared in his eyes.

Uehara Shu looked at Zabuza.

"Kisame, what's this?"

"Momochi Zabuza, acting on the orders of the Mizukage, has come to carry out the orders of Forging Island, to shut it down, and to bring all the remaining blacksmiths to the Mizukage Building."

Kisame Hoshigaki grinned.

"But now, Forging Island certainly can't be abolished."

"Xiu, let's go to the Water Shadow Building together."

"Let's go together and tell Lord Mizukage this good news."

Uehara Shu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

The reason for the hesitation was that Uehara Osamu calculated that the current Third Mizukage was most likely already under the control of Uchiha Madara and had become his puppet.

However, Uehara Osamu thought about it seriously.

If he wants to protect the Forging Island and his identity as a blacksmith, then exposing Kiriichimonji is inevitable.

The Third Mizukage would definitely know.

Whether you go to the Water Shadow Building or not, the result will be the same.

Furthermore, given Madara Uchiha's strength, he probably wouldn't care much about a mere ninja sword.

This is an existence that even the tailed beasts don't really respect.

Uehara Osamu was somewhat relieved that Kirigakure was not in the era when Yagura was controlled by Uchiha Obito.

Compared to Madara Uchiha's exploitation of Kirigakure, Obito Uchiha truly hated Kirigakure.

Even if Kirigakure showed the slightest sign of rising to power, given Obito Uchiha's personality, he would definitely find a way to annihilate it at the seed stage, giving Kirigakure no chance whatsoever.

Kisame Hoshigaki and Osamu Uehara left the Forging Island and headed towards the direction of the Mizukage Island.

"Captain Zabuza, what about us?"

"Follow them."

Kiriichimonji.

Congratulations, host, on completing the forging.

The Kirito-mono was successfully forged.

Completion level: Average.

Congratulations, host, you have gained 300 swordsmanship experience points.

This was the feedback reward that Uehara Shu received when he completed the forging of Kiriichimonji.

At this moment, the information flooding into Uehara Shu's mind was about Kiriichi's writing.

Kiriichimonji.

Type: Katana.

Quality: average.

Ability: Unhealable Wounds. Wounds caused by Kiriichimonji cannot be healed, but due to their ordinary quality, the effect is weakened, and the duration of the effect is reduced to 10 days.

Note: According to the third rule of the blacksmith, this ninja sword cannot harm the blacksmith.

The fact that it was only of average quality left Uehara Osamu somewhat disappointed.

However, Uehara Osamu was basically satisfied that he was able to successfully create Kiriichimonji on his first attempt.

This is at least a successful start.

Moreover, the Kiriichimonji of ordinary quality is already a very good ninja sword compared to the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure.

In Uehara Osamu's eyes, neither long swords, blunt swords, nor even guillotines were as good as this Kiri Ichimonji.
