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

"I wonder if I'll be able to meet that person this time."

If possible

In the afternoon, Pipa Juzo went directly to the Mizukage Building.

"Mizukage-sama."

Pipa Juzo revealed his purpose.

The Third Mizukage hesitated for a moment.

"Juzo, are you sure Shu already possesses the strength of a Special Jonin?"

"Yes."

Kizuki said, "Shu's basic attributes have already reached this level, and his talent in Water Release is even greater than mine. Therefore, he will only be stronger than a Special Jonin, not weaker."

The third Mizukage nodded.

"If that's the case, then the Forging Island doesn't really need you, Juzo."

"And the battlefield in the Land of Fire is indeed giving me a real headache right now."

"Yakura's bloodline limit is too effective against water-style ninjas."

"Yagura was unable to leave."

"In this short period of time, dozens of ninjas from my Hidden Mist Village have died at the hands of that Yekura."

"Juzo, are you confident?"

Pipa Juzo glanced at the Blue Rose Sword at his waist.

"Lord Mizukage, I will definitely not let you down. I will surely defeat Yekura."

"it is good."

After leaving the Mizukage Building, Pipa Juzo went back to Forging Island.

On one hand, it's a farewell.

On the other hand, a training plan was developed for Ringo Ameyuri.

Uehara Osamu watched as Hibiki Juzo left.

"If Senior Juzo goes to the battlefield, he will surely use the Blue Rose Sword."

"In other words, this will allow my reputation to experience another surge."

"Maybe before Senior Juzo returns, my reputation can rise to over 1000 points again?"

"In that case, I can actually do a 10-pull first."

"High-level blueprints have a chance of yielding better ninja tools."

"However, better ninja tools may require higher forging techniques."

"Like the Skeleton King."

"Therefore, I don't need to wait until I have 2000 reputation points before doing 20 consecutive draws."

"Instead, you can do a 10-pull first."

"Even if the ninja tools that are extracted are not that excellent, they are still at least at the level of the top three swords of the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure, which is already a very good ninja tool."

"It can enhance the strength of the contractor."

"It can bring me a reward."

"Once I master the Chakra Fusion Technique and the Breathing Forging Technique, I will perform 20 or more consecutive draws to try and obtain higher-level blueprints."

Back in the forging room.

"Chakra Fusion Technique, I'll have to wait until I learn Fire Release."

"Now, I can try the breathing exercise method first."

"Incorporate your breath into the forging process."

Uehara Osamu took out a hammer and a metal ingot.

Closed his eyes.

On the forging island, Uehara Osamu had no experience to refer to.

Therefore, Uehara Shu was thinking of the scene in Demon Slayer where Tanjiro was learning Water Breathing.

Uehara Osamu felt that there might be commonalities that could be referenced.

"The Breathing Technique, created by Yoriichi Tsugikuni, gives the human body the ability to fight against demons."

"Adjust your breathing to inhale a large amount of oxygen in a short period of time."

"In this way, we can invigorate the blood."

"To maximize the body's instantaneous movement capabilities."

"Strength, speed, explosiveness, all-round improvement."

"Water breathing is one of the basic breathing methods derived from sun breathing."

"When cultivating, one should keep one's mind free of distractions and maintain inner peace as still as water."

Uehara Shu stood still, allowing his heartbeat and breathing to calm down.

Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale

For a ninja like Uehara Shu to achieve this level of skill would not be difficult.

It was adjusted in no time.

It's like someone who's already an expert learning the basics of another field.

"The first technique of Water Breathing is Water Surface Slash."

"That is, to cut through the surface of water as smoothly as one's own blade."

"In that case, the marks left by the cut will be like the surface of water."

"The process of drawing the knife is actually a simulation process."

"Simulating the properties of water."

Uehara Shu looked at the hammer in his hand.

"Using a knife to simulate water requires both stability and smoothness. But I'm using a hammer. How do you simulate water with a hammer? How do you smoothly hammer across it?"

Uehara Osamu swung the hammer in his hand.

"Ding!"

The metal ingot on the forging table was knocked away by Uehara Shu.

"No, that's not right."

"The first step of the Water Breathing technique is to simulate the surface of water, but I don't necessarily have to follow it exactly. A hammer definitely can't simulate the surface of water; the compatibility isn't right."

"And forging does not require cutting."

"The surface of water is one of the characteristics of water."

"Water droplets are also one of the properties of water."

Uehara Shu imagined the scene of water droplets falling.

"Tick!"

"Tick!"

"Tick!"

Then he picked up the hammer.

Just as you reach your maximum inhalation level, the hammer falls.

"when!"

Uehara Shu's eyes lit up as he looked at the metal ingot in front of him.

"It seems a little different."

"The sound of forging and the changes in the metal ingot are somewhat different from previous forgings."

"Moreover, it's a good direction."

"Does this prove that my line of thinking is correct?"

Uehara Shu recalled his earlier actions and tried again.

"when!"

A similar voice rang out.

"That's right, it's not my imagination, it really is, I'm on the right track."

"It's just that it's not mature enough yet."

"I need to observe."

"It needs to be referenced."

Uehara Shu took a water glass from the side, poured the water onto the table, and the water flowed down the table to the edge before dripping down to the ground.

Upon hitting the ground, it shattered into countless tiny droplets, which splashed outwards.

"Teardrop-shaped".

"The speed of the fall is getting faster and faster."

"And touching it is just a matter of a moment."

Uehara Osamu was observing the characteristics of the falling water droplets.

On one hand, he was simulating the image of the hammer falling in his mind.

"interesting!"

Uehara Osamu's observations were not limited to water droplets falling from the table, but also included water droplets falling from leaves, water droplets sliding off the grass, water droplets falling from the sky, and water droplets formed from splashing seawater.
