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

The current state of Raiga Kurosuki has left the Third Mizukage feeling quite melancholic.

Pipa Juzo was in the same state before.

It might be slightly better than Kurozuki Raiga, but not by much.

But now, Pipa Juzo has completely moved on.

"The Blue Rose Sword gave Juzo hope."

"If in the future, Xiu can forge a ninja sword suitable for Raiga, a ninja sword stronger than the Raiga sword, which can enhance Raiga's strength even more, Raiga may also be able to emerge like Juzo."

The Third Mizukage arrived at the Taketori clan with the Raito (thunder sword) and handed it over to Taketori En.

He is the current head of the bamboo-harvesting clan.

"Yan, I have fulfilled my promise. I don't want to see anyone causing trouble on Forging Island anymore."

After saying that, before Taketori Homura could reply, the Third Mizukage had already vanished in a flash.

Taketori En shook his head as he looked in the direction the Third Mizukage had left.

"Just as I predicted, after this incident, the bond between the Third Mizukage and my Kaguya clan has been almost completely destroyed."

"If something like this happens again, all that will be left is hatred."

"Over the years, the Kaguya clan has offended almost every other ninja clan and village leader, and its reputation among commoner ninjas is extremely bad."

“The village is becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the bamboo-harvesting clan.”

"But the family members showed no remorse whatsoever; instead, they believed that the village was targeting them."

"If this continues, I'm afraid it will eventually lead to a complete break and civil war."

Taketori En sighed.

"I've heard that a very promising young member of the Uchiha clan has emerged, named Uchiha Shisui. He is a descendant of Uchiha Kagami and may bring about changes to the Uchiha clan."

"Some people say that they see the shadow of Uchiha Kagami in Uchiha Shisui."

"And Uchiha Kagami is a special kind of Uchiha, the kind that can change the fate of the Uchiha."

"But in my bamboo plucker clan, there is no such person."

Chapter 28 Madara Uchiha's Ninja Sword is Just Useless

A loud knocking interrupted Taketori En's thoughts.

"Enter."

"Lord Patriarch."

Taketori Hikaru entered the courtyard, a look of excitement on his face.

"I heard that Lord Mizukage has arrived. Did he bring the promised ninja sword?"

Hikaru Taketori's gaze fell on the Raito next to Homura Taketori.

"Is this a Thunder Blade?"

"Chief, I believe that no one in the entire Bamboo Clan is more suited to wield the Thunder Blade than me. In my hands, the Thunder Blade will surely be able to reach its full potential."

"Chief, may I wield this Thunder Blade?"

Taketori En glanced at Taketori Hikaru and nodded.

"can."

Taketori Hikaru picked up the Raito, his face showing even greater excitement.

A flash of lightning illuminated the lightning blade.

"This is the power of the Thunder Blade!"

"Not bad!"

Taketori Hikaru looked at Taketori En.

"Please rest assured, Chieftain, I will certainly not let Lei Dao down. In my hands, Lei Dao will surely shine brightly, and I will definitely do better than Hei Chu Lei Ya."

"I, Taketori Hikaru, will be the one to restore the name of the Thunder Blade!"

Taketori Hikaru tucked the Raito (thunder sword) into his waistband.

"Chief, if there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave now."

Taketori En nodded.

"it is good."

Just as he was about to leave the courtyard, Taketori Hikaru suddenly stopped and turned back.

"By the way, clan leader, Uehara Osamu was able to forge two ninja swords in such a short time. He may be able to forge more in the future. Perhaps you could arrange for someone to try and win one over?"

Taketori En's expression turned strange.

I understand the properties of bamboo shoots (such as light and heat).

Taketori Hikaru is a typical member of the Taketori clan.

It can be said that all the negative impressions of the Bamboo Clan outside can be confirmed by Hikaru Taketori.

However, Hikaru Taketori is quite talented.

Among the current members of the Kaguya clan, Hikaru Taketori's strength ranks among the top.

Even Taketori En, the head of the Taketori clan, might not be a match for Taketori Hikaru.

Therefore, when Taketori Hikaru proposed to use the Raito (thunder sword), Taketori En did not object.

Hikaru Taketori is indeed not someone who can lead the Taketori clan in a good direction, but the Taketori clan has no better choice. At least Hikaru Taketori is quite capable.

But now Taketori Hikaru says he will send someone to try and obtain the ninja sword forged by Uehara Osamu.

Taketori En found it all quite amusing.

Taketori En really wanted to ask Taketori Hikaru a few questions: Since you knew that Uehara Osamu could forge other ninja swords in the future, and since you knew that you should try to obtain those ninja swords, why did you do that when you went to the forging island last time?

Do you really think that what you did will make a good impression on Uehara Osamu?

Or do you think Uehara Shu would be so magnanimous as to not care at all?

Or do you think that such an action was not offensive at all?

What do you mean by saying this now?

If such a thing happened when Taketori En didn't know Taketori Hikaru that well, Taketori Hikaru might ask questions, might communicate with Taketori Hikaru, or might even try to guide Taketori Hikaru to change.

But now, Taketori En has a good understanding of Taketori Hikari.

Taketori En knew Taketori Hikaru's personality.

Taketori En knew that he couldn't change Taketori Hikaru in the slightest.

Hikaru Taketori's thought process is the same as that of most members of the Taketori clan: extreme, stubborn, and arrogant.

Taketori En had long given up on communicating with Taketori Hikaru, as well as with most of the Taketori clan members, hoping only to find one or two seeds of hope among the younger generation of the Taketori clan.

"If only Heaven could grant my Kaguya clan a Shisui Uchiha."

As he watched Taketori Hikaru's departing figure, Taketori En had this thought flash through his mind.

"I wonder if the head of the Uchiha clan is in a similar situation to me, and has similar thoughts."

A dark figure suddenly appeared in the Water Shadow Building.

No one saw it.

He walked directly behind the Third Mizukage.

The Third Mizukage's eyes became somewhat blank.

Madara Uchiha placed one hand on the Third Mizukage's shoulder.

The Third Mizukage whispered to Madara Uchiha everything about the recent situation in Kirigakure.

"Ninja sword?"

Madara Uchiha's brow twitched slightly.

"The Unhealable Blade, Kiriichimonji".

"Ice Blade, Blue Rose Sword".

Madara Uchiha chuckled.

"As expected of a worthless ninja village like Kirigakure, it's laughable that they would regard a mere ninja sword as the future."

"Those so-called Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are no match for even a mere Konoha genin, so what can these ninja swords do?"

"The truly powerful ones have always been the ninjas themselves."

"The ninja sword is nothing more than taking some useless things and making them not so useless anymore."

"It cannot create true strongmen."

The ninja sword that the Third Mizukage valued and looked forward to, crafted by Uehara Osamu, was completely worthless in Uchiha Madara's eyes.

The current representatives of ninja sword users are the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, but even beings much stronger than the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are completely looked down upon by Madara Uchiha, such as the Third Mizukage.

In Madara Uchiha's view, even a ninja sword would be difficult to create someone like the Third Mizukage.

"There's no need to worry about it."

Madara Uchiha didn't pay any attention.

Shortly after, Madara Uchiha left.

Madara Uchiha has already achieved his goal of coming to Kirigakure.

Kirigakure was not important to Madara Uchiha. He simply used Kirigakure as a pawn to control and carry out his own plans.

Madara Uchiha's true target was Obito Uchiha.

By harming the person Obito Uchiha cared about most, he provoked Obito Uchiha to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, and then handed over his next plan to Obito Uchiha.

Obito Uchiha was also a pawn of Madara Uchiha.
