Kirigakure blacksmith, reforge the glory of Ninja sword style!

Chapter 12 Arafuneji: Minister Uehara, I do!

"Exquisitely forged, beaten in every possible way, the blade is sharp, and the blade is restored to its original state... This is the best of the best."

Arafuneji looked at Kamehara Shu with burning eyes.

"Uehara Osamu, did you make this ninja sword?"

"But……"

"This ninja sword is indeed good, but if it's just this level, you can't convince Mizukage-sama to keep the Forging Island, right?"

Kisame Kisaki took the opportunity to quickly put Kiri Ichimonji back into the scabbard.

"Of course it's more than that."

"Tong Yimonji and the Kirigakure Seven Ninja Swordsmen both have special abilities."

"Tong Yimonji will bring irreparable effects to the wounds created."

Arafune's eyes brightened even more, wanting to see Kiriichi Monji again.

But Kisame no longer showed the dried persimmon.

Protect it firmly.

Osamu Uehara added: "Mizukage-sama appointed me as the head of the Forging Department and responsible for the Forging Island. However, compared to before, the scale of the Forging Department and the Forging Island will be much smaller."

"Mizukage-sama only gave me the establishment of four blacksmith assistants."

"This means that, apart from me, there can only be four more blacksmiths on the entire forging island."

"However, Lord Mizukage will also assign an elite team to be responsible for the security of Forging Island."

"This means that in the future, the Forging Island can only take the high-quality route."

"Indeed, most of the ninja tools made before we forged the island have no advantage over those produced in the Kingdom of Iron."

This is the difference in industry scale.

Kirigakure Village's main energy is still focused on completing mission commissions and confronting other ninja villages.

Blacksmithing is only a very small industry in Kirigakure Village.

Appeared because of the Great Blacksmith back then.

As time goes by and no results appear, the scale of the industry becomes smaller and smaller.

But the Iron Kingdom is different.

The forging industry is the pillar industry of the Iron Country.

Therefore, the Iron Kingdom invested a lot of resources in this area.

Manpower, materials...

On such a huge scale, talents continue to emerge and technology continues to innovate, which leads to the iron country's forging technology getting better and better.

When it comes to manufacturing ordinary ninja tools, no one can compete with the Kingdom of Iron.

Arafuneji looked at Kamehara Osamu again.

"Uehara... no, Shu... no, Director Uehara, can I be your forging assistant?"

Arafuneji didn't know much about Osamu Uehara before.

However, Arafuneji had just seen Kiriichi Monji.

Even if Arafuneji didn't see the incurable special effect mentioned by Kisame Inegaki.

But just the content expressed in Kiriichi's words can make Arafuneji certain that Osamu Uehara's forging technology is much better than his own.

Even his own teacher is not as good as Kamihara Shu.

Moreover, Arafuneji did not think that what Inikisaki Kisame said was false.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Mizukage to take back his order to ban Forge Island.

An ordinary ninja tool without special abilities, no matter how excellent it is forged, cannot achieve this.

Osamu Uehara felt that Arafune Ni would be a good assistant.

Osamu Uehara needs an assistant.

Arafuneji's current performance is exactly what Osamu Uehara expected.

But Osamu Uehara did not agree immediately, but said.

"Arafuneji, you know, Mizukage-sama only gave me four assistant positions, so I must be cautious."

Arakuneji looked disappointed.

"but……"

Osamu Uehara changed the subject.

"I think Arafuneji is a very good blacksmith. Faced with tremendous pressure, you are unwilling to give up your identity as a blacksmith. Instead, you plan to live and die with the Forging Island."

"Therefore, I am willing to give you this opportunity."

"One month. As long as you meet my requirements within the next month, I will officially prepare it for you. Are you willing?"

Arafuneji's originally disappointed expression suddenly turned into surprise.

"I do!" Osamu Uehara smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Arafuneji, welcome to join us."

"Arafuneji has met Minister Uehara!"

Osamu Uehara returned to the hut where he lived.

There were some people nearby, but now, they have all left.

There were only three people left on the entire forging island.

Uehara Osamu, Arafuneji, and Inigaki Kisame.

And Kisame Inikasaki will be leaving soon.

Kisame Inegaki is not a member of the Forging Island, but a mission ninja, an elite and genius among mission ninjas. With the current situation in Kirigakure Village, Kisame Inegaki will be very busy.

In fact it is.

The Third Mizukage has already said that tomorrow morning, Kisame Inikaki and Zabuza will go to the Mizukage Building to arrange tasks.

Osamu Uehara glanced at the sky.

"Kisame, please go back first. You have a mission tomorrow."

Kisame Kisaki hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"it is good."

As a mission ninja, it is Kisaki Kisame's instinct to put mission first.

"Arafuneji, go and choose a small house nearby as your future residence, and then move your things here."

"Yes, Minister Uehara."

The two left one after another, and Osamu Uehara turned around and entered the room.

"Water escape, the art of water body transformation!"

A burst of chakra surged out of Uehara Shu's body.

The next moment, a figure appeared next to Uehara Shu.

Ichiichi has the exact same figure as Shu Uehara.

It is Shu Uehara's water body.

The clone series of ninjutsu is very popular in the ninja world.

In addition to the most basic clone technique that creates illusory projections, almost every ninja village has its own unique clone technique.

The water clone of Kirigakure Village.

Konoha's shadow clones and multiple shadow clones.

The earth clone of Iwagakure Village.

The sand clone of Sand Hidden Village.

There are also paper clones, snake clones, wood clones, crow clones, dog clones...

As a genin and a blacksmith, Osamu Uehara didn't know many ninjutsu.

In addition to basic taijutsu and the use of ninja tools, there are only two ninjutsu.

One is the art of water separation.

The other one is Kirigakure no Jutsu.

Both of these ninjutsu tend to be auxiliary types.

In most cases, a blacksmith does not need to fight.

Even if you encounter danger, running will be more appropriate than fighting.

The two water escape ninjutsus practiced by Uehara can bring a lot of help to "running".

Uehara Shu recalled the process of using the water body just now, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

Uehara Shu stretched out his hand, looked at his palm, and concentrated the water escape chakra on his hand.

"It's a completely different feeling than before."

"Smoother."

"Consume less chakra."

"The time for connecting the seal has become shorter."

“And there’s the possibility of continued improvement.”

"To put it in anthropomorphic terms, before, water-type chakra was like an acquaintance to me."

"And now, they have become my most beloved relatives and friends."

"Is this an excellent level of water escape talent?"
