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

Seeing Uehara Shu carrying materials and heading towards the forging room, Biwa Juzo couldn't help but ask.

"Shall we begin forging now, Xiu?"

"No."

Uehara Shu shook his head.

"Let's prepare first. I'll start the forging process when I'm confident. After all, we only have this one set of materials. If we fail, there won't be a chance to start over. I have to make sure we succeed."

The two abandoned ships followed.

"Minister Uehara, is there anything I can do for you?"

Uehara Osamu assigned some preparatory work to Arafune Ji.

Next, Uehara Shu took out the blueprints for the Blue Rose Sword, analyzed, recorded, and deduced the contents, and then began to try it out.

Just like when I created Kiriichimonji last time, I first used other materials to do a rehearsal.

Uehara Shu quickly got into the zone.

He was completely immersed in the forging process.

Arasenji could clearly see that Uehara Shu's forging skills far surpassed his own, by a significant margin.

"As expected of a blacksmith capable of forging the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist."

"Minister Uehara is a genius when it comes to forging."

"I am far inferior."

"No, he's not even as good as my teacher."

Three days later, Uehara Shu walked out of the forging room and fell asleep immediately.

The next day, early in the morning, Uehara Osamu came to the forging room again.

"Senior Juzo, I am about to begin the forging process. From now on, I must not be disturbed."

Pipa Juzo nodded.

"Shu, don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one can disturb you. I guarantee that even if the Mizukage comes in person, he won't be able to stop him."

"Then I'll leave it to Senior Juzo."

Arasenji looked at the door of the forging room, his eyes filled with both reverence and envy.

In the past few days, even though Uehara Shu had not officially started forging the Blue Rose Sword, Arafune had personally witnessed Uehara Shu processing various materials.

Uehara Osamu's skills completely impressed Arafune Ni.

Previously, Arafune believed in the Third Mizukage's judgment, but after all, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

Therefore, Arafune still harbored a sliver of doubt.

Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, Arafune no longer had any doubts.

"When will I be able to reach the level of forging skills of Minister Uehara?"

Pipa Juzo stood guard at the entrance to the forging room, with the Executioner's Blade stuck in the ground beside him.

"I wonder what kind of ninja sword the guild will forge this time."

Bamboo hauling camp.

A middle-aged man smashed the cup in his hand onto the ground.

"What does this water reflection mean?"

"You promised to shut down the forging island, so why aren't you shutting it down now?"

Opposite them stood an old man, the current head of the bamboo-harvesting clan.

"Kuang, calm down."

Taketori Hikaru looked at the old man.

"Chief, how can I remain calm? It was agreed that once the Forging Island is vacated, it will be handed over to our Bamboo Clan. The Forging Island will be of great use to us."

"But now, the Mizukage can go back on his word so easily. He shouldn't forget that the reason he was able to succeed as Mizukage was entirely due to the support of our Bamboo Clan."

The old man picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"According to the information from the Mizukage, a young blacksmith on Forging Island suddenly forged a ninja sword of the same level as the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure, which is why the Mizukage suspended the ban on Forging Island."

Taketori Hikaru snorted coldly.

"Do you believe that, Chief?"

"I don't believe it anyway."

"Are ninja swords of the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist so easy to forge?"

"If it were that easy, we wouldn't have only had those seven ninja swords for so many years."

"We all know what kind of people those blacksmiths on Forging Island are. They're just a bunch of swindlers who cheat the village out of its resources. And they call them young blacksmiths? The older ones aren't good enough. How can the young ones be any good?"

The old man hesitated for a moment, then said, "There's no reason why the Water Shadow Society would send out such a message."

"Guang, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

"We can send someone to Forging Island to investigate the situation."

Taketori Hikaru immediately got up.

"Chief, I'll go then."

The old man was about to speak to stop him, but Taketori Hikaru had already rushed out.

The old man had no choice but to give up.

Soon, Taketori Hikaru arrived near the forging island.

Two figures followed behind Taketori Hikaru.

He is both a member of Taketori Hikaru's clan and his subordinate.

Juzo Biwa sensed the presence of the newcomer immediately and stood up quickly. At the same time, one hand reached for the hilt of the Executioner's Blade, and he looked ahead warily.

Taketori Hikaru and the other two approached.

Hikaru Taketori was slightly surprised when he saw Juzo Biwa.

I don't quite understand why Pipa Juzo is here.

"Taketake Hikari".

"Loquat Juzo, what are you doing here?"

"I am here on the orders of the Mizukage to serve as the guard of the Forging Island. Taketori Hikaru, what are you doing here?"

After seeing Taketori Hikaru, Biwa Juzo became even more wary.

Because Pipa Juzo knew about the Taketori clan.

If Kirigakure is the representative of violence among the major ninja villages, then the Kaguya clan is the representative of violence within Kirigakure. The members of this ninja clan are all extremely violent.

Pipa Juzo could sense that Taketori Hikaru was there to cause trouble.

"You? The blacksmith's guard? The Mizukage himself gave the order?"

Taketori Hikaru's eyes flickered.

This left Taketori Hikaru somewhat bewildered.

One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, has actually come to the Forging Island to serve as a guard?

Could it be that the story about the ninja sword is true?

"good."

"Where is that young blacksmith? I heard he forged a ninja sword of the same caliber as the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist. I'm very interested. Tell him to come out so I can take a look."

"Xiu is currently forging; no one is allowed to disturb him."

Taketori Hikaru suddenly laughed.

"Isn't this a bit too much of a coincidence?"

Chapter 21: The Blue Rose Sword Completed

"Forging? Can't be disturbed? Juzo Biwa, you don't mean that the young blacksmith is currently forging a second ninja sword of the Kirigakure Seven Ninja Swords level, do you?"

Juzo Biwa gripped the hilt of the Executioner's Blade tightly.

"Yes."

Now it's confirmed that Taketori Hikaru is here to cause trouble.

Pipa Juzo did not know the reason why Taketori Hikaru was.

However, Juzo Biwa knew that the Kaguya clan were all madmen, and madmen are capable of anything.

If he were to say that Uehara Osamu was only forging ordinary ninja tools, Taketori Hikaru would definitely rush into the forging room.

With three people, Taketori Hikaru couldn't guarantee that Uehara Osamu wouldn't be disturbed.

Therefore, Pipa Juzo could only tell the truth.

Just now, Taketori Hikaru was still somewhat surprised and uncertain.

Now, Taketori Hikaru doesn't believe it at all.

"Loquat Juzo, do you know what you're saying?"

"As far as I know, that young blacksmith only recently forged a ninja sword of the same level as the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist. And now you're telling me he's already forging a second one of the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist?"

"Do you think I will believe it?"

Do you believe it yourself?

"Since when has forging a ninja sword of the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist become such an easy thing?"

"One every two weeks?"

"Are you saying that our Hidden Mist Village's great blacksmith back then was incompetent?"
