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

Then, extend both hands.

The moment he touched the rabbit, Uehara Shu suddenly felt a surge of familiarity that wasn't his own.

It seems like I instinctively know how to operate it.

"Is this the effect of being a familiar-level human modification technique on me?"

Uehara Osamu took the needle and thread and began to suture the rabbit's wounds.

"Mayuko, how are you?"

The three Mizukage, Ringo Mayuko, and Biwa Juzo, stood not far away.

They spoke in hushed tones, as if afraid of disturbing Uehara Shu.

"Very stable."

Mayuko Ringo said, "This child's hands are very steady; they have hands that are born to perform surgery."

Upon seeing Uehara Osamu's actions, Ringo Mayuko's eyes revealed a look of appreciation.

Mayuko Ringo felt that it was a real waste that such steady hands and such great talent were not used to become medical ninjas or to be in charge of surgeries in the medical department.

However, Ringo Mayuko then thought of what the Third Mizukage had said about Uehara Osamu's identity.

"Lord Mizukage, is this child's forging skill really that strong?"

The Third Mizukage raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Mayuko, what are you trying to say?"

"Lord Mizukage, this child's hands are really perfect for surgery. If we could get this child into the medical department and have him specialize in surgery, he could save many people who would otherwise be beyond saving."

"So, Xiu's demonstrated abilities are sufficient to handle Qing's surgery?"

"absolutely okay."

"That's good."

The Third Mizukage smiled.

But then he said...

"However, it's unlikely that Xiu will join the medical department to specialize in medical ninjutsu."

Chapter 48 Danzo is all the Hyuga's fault

Hearing the Third Mizukage's words, Juzo Biwa breathed a sigh of relief.

Ringo Mayuko had similar thoughts, as did Loquat Juzo.

When he saw Uehara Osamu's Water Release talent, Biwa Juzo had this thought.

However, both Kiriichimonji and the Blue Rose Sword made Juzo Biwa realize that no matter what other talents Uehara Shuu might have, blacksmithing was the most suitable profession for him.

Even if you have extra time, there's no need to learn medical ninjutsu or surgery.

Learning Water Release techniques to improve one's strength is much better.

Uehara Shu's safety is far more important than the safety of the other ninjas in Kirigakure.

Mayuko Ringo paused for a moment, then seemed to remember something.

"Lord Mizukage, the blacksmith who forged the new ninja sword that rivals the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure, is this child?"

"good."

The third Mizukage nodded.

Just at this time.

"I finished."

Hearing the sound, Ringo Mayuko stepped forward.

"Mayuko-senpai, how is it?"

"Very good, absolutely perfect."

Ringo Mayuko turned to the Third Mizukage and said, "Lord Mizukage, Shu's precision technique is even better than I asked for. There shouldn't be any problems with Ao's surgery."

The Third Mizukage smiled.

"Okay, then you can arrange the surgery."

"Yes."

Uehara Osamu chimed in.

"Lord Mizukage, Mayuko-senpai, if we are to perform the surgery, could we arrange for it to take place on Forging Island? I would be more confident in a familiar environment."

The Third Mizukage had no objections and looked at Ringo Mayuko.

"Mayuko?"

"Sure, it's the same for me wherever I am."

time is tight.

The next day, Qing was transferred to the Forging Island.

Like other outsiders who had visited Forging Island before, Ringo Mayuko felt a pang of sadness at the island's current desolation.

However, when one's gaze falls upon Uehara Shu, one feels that with Uehara Shu around, Forging Island will surely regain its former glory, or even become much stronger.

Qing's body was calmly placed on the operating table.

Uehara Osamu is on the left.

Mayuko Ringo is on the right.

A white eye was embedded in a blue eye socket, but it was clear that the eye transplant surgery had not been done well, as there were signs of decay around the eye socket.

The movement seemed to bring Qing back to her senses.

He opened his eyes, first looked at Ringo Mayuko, then at Uehara Shu, and said in a daze.

"If I die, please give my disdain to someone more suitable in the village."

Just then, Uehara Shu's scalpel pierced Ao's wound.

Qing's eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

Ringo Mayuko used medical ninjutsu to keep Ao alive.

He was instructing Uehara Shu on how to perform the surgery.

Outside, Pipa Juzo stood guard at the door.

The Third Mizukage is no longer here; he has returned to the Mizukage Building.

As the Mizukage, the Third Mizukage had a heavy workload and didn't have enough time to stay by his side.

Just as Kirigakure was trying to save Ao from his serious injuries, Konoha was also in turmoil because of the same incident.

"Lord Hokage, I'm sorry, it's all our fault."

An elderly man from the Hyuga clan arrived at the Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was rather unpleasant.

Beside him, Danzo Shimura snorted coldly.

“You Hyuga clan know how important the Byakugan is to Konoha. In all these years, Konoha has never lost a Byakugan. This time, you have made a grave mistake.”

"Konoha is missing a pair of Byakugan."

"The Hidden Mist Village has gained another Byakugan."

"It is very likely that Kirigakure can take the initiative on the battlefield by relying on this Byakugan."

“Previously, Kirigakure had already boosted its morale by relying on the victories of its younger generation of ninjas and the sudden appearance of a new ninja sword. Now, your Hyuga clan is getting involved.”

"Once Konoha falls into a disadvantageous position on the battlefield against Kirigakure, Kumogakure and Iwagakure will likely take advantage of this opportunity to launch a more intense attack on Konoha."

"Can your Hyuga clan bear this responsibility?"

The old man lowered his head even further.

"I'm sorry, Lord Danzo. It is indeed our Hyuga clan that failed us. If Hyuga Takeshi were still alive, I would certainly punish him severely."

Danzo interrupted the old man from Hyuga.

"Do you think that just because Hyuga Takeshi is dead, this matter can be let bygones be bygones?"

"Hyuga Takeshi is dead, and your entire Hyuga clan should be held responsible for this."

"This matter must be handled properly."

"Not even a single Byakugan can remain outside Konoha."

The old man from Hyuga looked troubled.

"Lord Hokage, Lord Danzo, but the Byakugan has already been taken away by the people of Kirigakure and brought back to Kirigakure. There's nothing we Hyuga people can do."

"It's too difficult for our Hyuga clan ninjas to infiltrate Kirigakure and retrieve the Byakugan."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up at the old man from Hyuga and slowly spoke.

"It's not that complicated. I've heard that your Hyuga clan and the Kaguya clan of Kirigakure have been on good terms for generations. Perhaps we can use the Kaguya clan's connections to find out what's going on with that Byakugan."

"This"

The old man's expression grew even more troubled.

The Hyuga clan and the Kaguya clan have indeed been on good terms for generations.

However, the Hyuga clan resides in Konoha.

The Taketori clan is a ninja family from Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village).

Konoha and Kirigakure are currently at war.

In this situation, how is it any different for the Hyuga clan to send the Kaguya clan to investigate the Byakugan, or to have the Kaguya clan betray Kirigakure? Would the Kaguya clan agree to that?

Knowing full well that the Kaguya clan would not agree, the Hyuga clan forcibly made such a demand to the Kaguya clan. Wouldn't this cause a rift in the relationship between the two ninja clans?
