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

"The village will issue a warrant for your arrest and classify you as a rogue ninja."

"He shall never return to Kirigakure in his lifetime."

"In that case, the innocent people in the Taketori clan can survive."

"They won't hate the village, they'll only hate you, Cat Senior."

"Therefore, the fear of them retaliating against the village will not occur."

"And the other ninja clans in the village will only be wary of you, Cat-senpai, not fear the Mizukage."

"May you, senior cat, bear all the sins and create a better situation for the innocent people of the Kaguya clan and for the village."

"But this is really too cruel to you, Cat Senior."

The bamboo cat fell silent.

This was a path that the Taketori Neko had never imagined.

However, after careful consideration, the cat-like creature felt that this was indeed a better method.

However, many problems exist.

"I'm not strong enough."

This is the biggest problem.

"May I ask about your approximate strength, Senior Cat?"

"I am a Jonin, but within the Kaguya clan, there aren't many who are stronger than me. Even those who are stronger than me aren't by much, but there are just too many of them."

"What are you good at, Cat Senior?"

"Physical techniques and ninja swords."

After receiving the answer from the Taketori Neko, Uehara Osamu took out his newly forged ninja sword from the side.

A Jonin, and judging from the words of the Taketori Neko, he should be considered one of the best Jonin.

That would meet Uehara Shu's requirements.

With the potential to become a Jonin, the talent of the Bamboo Cat must be quite good.

Furthermore, when the Taketori Neko mentioned the extermination of the Taketori clan, the unwavering look in his eyes made Uehara Shu feel that there was a high probability that the Dragon Bone would be a good match for the Taketori Neko.

The Taketori Neko (Tankori Neko) looks a lot like another version of Uchiha Itachi.

"This ninja sword is called Dragon Bone. It can absorb the energy of a collision and release it in the next attack. It's perfect for you, Cat-senpai."

"Using this ninja sword, your strength should improve considerably, Cat-senpai."

Uehara Osamu said, "Moreover, this ninja sword can also provide you, Cat-senpai, with a suitable reason to kill those radical members of the Kaguya clan. You can give it the title of 'Demon Sword'."

"Killing those close to you can grant you power. For that reason, Senior Cat, you have turned against your own kind."

Uehara Shu directly used the same tactics he employed during the Konoha massacre.

To the outside world, Itachi Uchiha killed his clansmen in order to enhance the power of his Sharingan.

Therefore, it is reasonable for the cat-earer to obtain the demon sword and kill his own people in order to gain power.

Taketori Neko stared at the ninja sword in Uehara Osamu's hand.

"So, after this is all over, I'm going to take this ninja sword with me?"

Uehara Osamu nodded.

“It would be more reasonable for you to take it with you, Cat Senior. If the village needs this ninja sword, we can arrange a few battles to bring it back to the village in a reasonable way.”

But the cat with the bamboo twig still didn't reach for the sword; instead, it looked at the Third Mizukage.

The Third Mizukage was already thinking about it when Uehara Osamu spoke.

The Third Mizukage didn't care about the innocent members of the Kaguya clan.

The Third Mizukage didn't care much about the reputation of Kirigakure.

The policy in the Village of Blood Mist is notorious outside, yet the Third Mizukage continues to enforce it.

The only point that Uehara Osamu made was beneficial to the morale of Kirigakure, which made the Third Mizukage somewhat concerned.

Even if the Third Mizukage was the most demanding, radical, and ruthless Mizukage.

But the Third Mizukage understood the nature of human nature.

Even the Third Mizukage couldn't understand people's hearts; after so long in the Village of Blood and Mist, most of the people of Kirigakure still held him in high esteem as their Mizukage.

"What you said makes sense."

The Third Mizukage said, "The method you suggested is indeed a better one."

"What was originally a conflict between the bamboo-cutting clan and the village has been transformed into a conflict within the bamboo-cutting clan itself."

"It can solve the village's crisis without bringing so many side effects."

“In the actual process, there will certainly be many problems.”

"But they are all minor problems that can be handled."

For example, even after obtaining the dragon bone, he was still not strong enough to kill all the radical members of the bamboo-catching faction, the bamboo-catching cat.

For example, nothing stays hidden forever; the truth of a matter will inevitably be known by others.

and many more.

However, compared to the direct annihilation of the Taketori clan by ANBU ninjas, the negative impact of Uehara Osamu's proposed plan was undoubtedly much smaller.

"Cat, catch the knife!"

The Third Mizukage looked at the Taketori Neko.

Thank you io200852 for the 500 reward!

Chapter 70: Let the Third Mizukage Begin the Extermination of His Clan

"Yes, Mizukage-sama."

Having received the order from the Third Mizukage, the Taketori Neko did not hesitate any longer.

Instead, he directly caught the cursed dragon bone that Uehara Osamu handed over.

A voice rang in Uehara Shu's mind.

A contractor with a compatible cursed dragon bone has been detected. Zenin Maki's approval rating: High, attribute compatibility: High, compatibility level: Excellent. Should we guide her to form a contract?

Uehara Shu did not hesitate.

The compatibility has reached an excellent level, so there's absolutely no need to hesitate.

Even if the talent of the Bamboo Cutter Cat is not very strong.

However, no matter what, he is still one of the best among the Jonin.

"guide!"

next moment.

The contract for the cursed artifact dragon bone was successfully completed.

Match rate: Excellent.

The power of the cursed dragon bone was amplified to a certain extent.

Congratulations, host, for acquiring a good level of physical skill talent.

"Good level physical talent, excellent level compatibility, but the talent I obtained is only good, which proves that this is already the limit of the Bamboo Cutter Cat."

Uehara Shu looked at the Taketori Neko and began to ponder.

"Looking at it this way, it's good, even better than I expected."

"The Taketori Neko excels in taijutsu and ninja swords. Without a bloodline limit, he can become one of the best Jonin. Taijutsu must play a very important role in him."

"In other words, a good level of taijutsu talent can make a Jonin."

“Talent at the excellent level, and even higher.”

"Moreover, for me, this is just the beginning; talents can be synthesized."

"There will definitely be opportunities to be promoted in the future."

"In addition, my physical talent has increased, which means that my basic physical training should also be more effective."

"It can improve my basic attributes faster."

"With my water-style techniques already well mastered, my basic attributes have improved, and my overall strength will directly increase accordingly, without needing anything else."

The cat-like creature gripped the hilt of the dragon bone sword.

A sudden surge of intimacy welled up inside me.

The cat's eyes lit up.

Taketori Neko has some knowledge of the ninja tools of Forging Island.

Hikaru Taketori visited the forging island and brought back some news to the Taketori clan.

The higher-ups of the Taketori clan were generally aware of the existence of the ninja sword forged by Uehara Osamu.

As a ninja skilled in using ninja swords, Taketori Neko also longs to possess an excellent ninja sword.

Moreover, based on Uehara Osamu's words, Taketori Neko can confirm that Ryukotsu is a ninja sword that has reached the level of the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure, and may even be more than that.

It can absorb the force of a collision and even use that force.

It aligns perfectly with my strengths.

It's a perfect match.

How much will my strength increase if I obtain such a ninja sword?

Within the entire bamboo tug clan, who else could be his rival?

Killing those narrow-minded radicals should be easier, more convenient, and faster, right?

Uehara Shu glanced at the semi-transparent panel in front of him.
