Kirigakure blacksmith, reforge the glory of Ninja sword style!

Chapter 143 The glory of Forging Island is back!

"Teacher, I'm sorry."

Genshi looked at Terumi Mei quietly.

The atmosphere became a little tense.

Suddenly, Master Yuan waved his hand and showed a smile.

"Don't be sorry, Ming, you did the right thing."

"Since you have judged that you cannot tell others, then even I, the teacher, cannot be an exception."

"That's exactly what I want you to be."

"Ming, do you know what I want to cultivate you into?"

Terumi Mei looked up, astonishment flashed across her face.

"What does it look like?"

Master Yuan did not speak directly, but first looked around to make sure there was no one else, and then spoke slowly.

"When I was born, there was no concept of a ninja village. Ninjas either fought as families or acted in loose groups. The ninja world was in chaos. In order to compete for resources, the war almost never stopped."

"Until the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan cease war and establish Konoha."

"We received responses from many nearby ninja families."

"And other regions have also copied it."

"The ninja world has officially entered the era of ninja villages."

"The first Mizukage, Senior Byakuren is extremely powerful, brave and radical, and has great courage. He has convinced countless people."

"The Oniden clan, the Taketori clan... all joined Kirigakure Village because of Senior Byakuren."

"The second generation Mizukage, Huanyue-senpai."

"In terms of personal strength, I think Senior Huanyue's strength is still higher than that of Senior Bailian."

"But when facing the second Tsuchikage, he was a little too impulsive and died together with him."

"If that incident hadn't happened, the situation behind Kirigakure Village would actually be much better."

"And the Third Mizukage."

Master Yuan raised his head and looked towards the sky, not knowing what he was looking at.

"It's not that I don't respect the Third Mizukage, but the fact is that the ability of the Third Mizukage is worse than that of the first and second generations. The situation in Kirigakure Village has declined during the Third Generation's tenure. "

"As for the candidates who can succeed the Fourth Mizukage, everyone previously thought they were members of the Kirigakure Seven, as well as Yagura."

"But, in my opinion, their talents are not enough."

"Until I saw you, Ming."

"I see in you the potential to surpass their Mizukage."

Mei Terumi asked.

"Because of my blood inheritance limit?"

"That's just part of it."

Yuanshi said: "To put it bluntly, blood successor limits are just a type of talent. Ninjas without blood successor limits can also perform extremely well."

"For example, the water escape of the Ghost Lantern clan and the Ganshi clan."

"In addition to your extremely strong ninja talent, Ming, your personality is the main reason why I think you can become a very good Mizukage in the future."

"In comparison, Kisame Kisame's talent is also good. Among the younger generation, he suppressed Kakashi Hatake of Konoha. Even with the help of the Zanpakutō, it also shows the strength of Kisame Kisame himself. .”

"But, in my opinion, Inigaki Kisame cannot become a good Mizukage."

"You can only become a powerful ninja."

Terumi Mei vaguely felt something was wrong.

Because he is not the only one participating in this mission.

In addition to himself, there are also Ao, Izumo Izumo, Kaguya Shinsui, and Ota.

These people should not leak what happened today.

Even if Kisame Inikaki, who Genshi said could not become a good Mizukage, participated in this operation, he would probably not leak what happened today, which means nothing.

The only difference is that the others don't have a teacher like Yuanshi.

As an elder of Konoha, he can be regarded as second only to Mizukage in Kirigakure Village.

Mei Terumi raised her own question.

"Teacher, if it was Kisame Kisaki, he probably wouldn't be able to say anything."

Master Yuan smiled.

"It's the same thing about not saying it, but there's still a difference. Others don't say it, maybe just because they received an order and couldn't say it, but you made your own judgment that you shouldn't say it."

"Based on how well I know you, I can still tell this."

"That's the difference between you and them."

"A qualified Mizukage must have strong enough judgment ability, and he must believe in his own judgment ability and be confident enough in his own judgment ability."

……

……

While Osamu Uehara was smelting, Arafune Ni started preparing for the recruitment of blacksmiths.

Tanaka Shinnosuke assisted from the side.

Osamu Uehara selected from the list provided by the last three generations of Mizukage.

The blacksmith who had the best forging skills in the previous interview was eliminated, but the interview did not satisfy Osamu Uehara.

When the blacksmiths received the invitation, they all became excited.

Different from last time.

Several blacksmiths from last time were a little surprised by the situation in the blacksmithing department.

But now, it is completely gone.

The Forging Department has expanded and has become a formal department with real power. Many people already know this.

The Zanpakutō was created by the current head of the Forging Department, and many people know it.

With the current situation where the Zanpakutō is overwhelming the Ghost Light Seven Ninja Sword, the situation of the Zanpakutō will only get better and better in the future, and the scalpel business also provides a platform for ordinary blacksmiths.

It can be said that the current forging department has a bright future.

It's completely different from before.

How many people have left Forging Island in the past because they could not see a future there.

So now, how many people want to join the Forging Department because they see its future.

Those who stayed on the Forging Island for reasons other than talent, did not leave the Forging Island until they heard the Third Mizukage's order to abolish the Forging Island, and now they want to return even more.

Even if they are not given a formal establishment of blacksmiths, they will still be willing.

However, this is not what Uehara Osamu wants to see.

What Osamu Uehara needs is outstanding talents who can provide help to the Forging Department, who can make progress in the environment of the Forging Island, and grow together with the Forging Department.

Rather than swarming up to suck blood because they see benefits.

Even if those bugs don't need much, they can still gain momentum.

But Kamihara Shu didn't like it.

I don’t want the entire Forging Island to become a mess because of this.

"From this point of view, the decision proposed by the Third Mizukage to ban the Forging Island can be considered a favor to me."

"If Forging Island had not been banned and those people had not left, the situation on Forging Island would be much more complicated now."

Osamu Uehara can certainly be suppressed through strong means.

But after all, there is one more trouble.

Unlike now, those people are not qualified to raise conditions at all and can only beg to come in.

"Mr. Uehara."

Arafuneji came to Uehara Osamu.

"Ok?"

"The assessment site and materials have been arranged. The ten blacksmiths who have been notified have also arrived on the island. We are now waiting for you, Minister Uehara, to come over."

Osamu Uehara nodded and stopped what he was doing.

"Okay, let's go there now."

Similar to the last assessment.

The forging department provides materials, and the blacksmiths who accept the invitation carry out forging under the prescribed topics.

After that, catch sea fish and use them as chopping targets.

The score is determined by the effect of the fish being chopped.

But last time, it was just Shu Uehara's temporary idea.

But this time, it has been improved a lot. The first thing to bear the brunt is that this assessment already has an official name.

"Knife Forging Competition!"

A single, vacant forge room was converted into a venue.

Ten figures stood in the center.

There were some escort members of the Forging Department standing around.

Osamu Uehara walked in from the side passage.

Arafuneji was half a step behind.

The first time Osamu Uehara appeared, all ten blacksmiths looked over.

"This is the blacksmith who made the Zanpakutō."

"He is indeed as young as I heard."

"awesome!"

Some blacksmiths have complicated emotions, feeling that they have lived like scrap metal at such a young age.

But more blacksmiths are clearly aware of the gap between themselves and Uehara Shu.

No jealousy, only admiration and awe.

The same is true between people.

I am afraid that my companions will have a hard time, and I am also afraid that my companions will drive a Land Rover.

Two people who know each other, if one person is one or two times ahead, the remaining person will easily become jealous.

Some people can adjust their hearts or use moral suppression to dispel these negative emotions.

Some people cannot control it, and at this time, the relationship between the two will deteriorate.

But if one of them leads dozens or hundreds of times, then the situation will be different. The remaining person will most likely not feel jealous and can only look up.

Because the gap is too big.

This is how these blacksmiths feel when they look at Shang Yuanxiu now.

Powerful ninja swords like the Zanpakuto, one after another.

So far, there are only five that have appeared on the surface and that everyone knows.

Tong Yimoji, Blue Rose Sword, Thunder Strike Blade, Water Dragon Possession, Dragon Bone.

Not many people know about Skeleton Emperor, Nautilus and Smiling Qingjiang.

Even fewer people know about God's Controller and Peach Immortal's Garden Box.

Osamu Uehara looked at the blacksmith below and at the translucent screen in front of him. The numbers in the reputation bar on the top were increasing little by little. The numbers were not very large, but the victory continued.

"Everyone, I'm glad you accepted the invitation."

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Hara Shu, and I currently serve as the head of the Blacksmithing Department."

"This assessment is divided into two items..."

Unconsciously, Osamu Uehara found that he said a lot of things that he had not prepared before.

Mainly because seeing the increase in reputation, I feel a little unsure about it.

I didn't pay attention for a while, so I played a little "extra long".

It wasn't until his reputation slowed down that Uehara Shu realized it and stopped.

"Welcome everyone again, now I announce that the knife forging competition has officially begun!"

Next to him, Shinnosuke Tanaka took the lead in applauding.

Different from Arafuneji.

Arafune is a pure blacksmith. He doesn't know much about people and sophistication, but his talent is good and he is serious about his work. Therefore, Shu Uehara feels that Arafune can be reused and is worthy of trust.

As for Tanaka Shinnosuke, after all, he is older and knows more about people and the world.

Osamu Uehara raised his eyebrows.

Because Osamu Uehara saw this wave of applause, the reputation bar that had stopped jumping a few more numbers.

Osamu Uehara stretched out his hand and pressed down.

Immediately, he signaled to Arakuneji.

Arafune Er came to the ten candidates to be assessed.

"I am Arafuneji, the official blacksmith of the Blacksmithing Department. I will be responsible for presiding over the next first assessment. I hope everyone can listen to the rules I announced and perform well."

Arafuneji took the candidates to be assessed into the forging area.

Osamu Uehara looked over and felt that the scene in front of him looked very familiar.

"It's like the Chunin exam."

"Especially, the third round of the Chunin Examination."

The only Chunin exam that Uehara has any memory of was the one Uzumaki Naruto took.

The first session is the written test.

The second scene, the forest of death.

The third game was supposed to be the final, but because there were too many people left, a qualifier was held.

The final became Game 4.

Some people will call the third game the second half of the second game.

Uehara Shu only felt that he was now like Sarutobi Hiruzen at that time.

Arafune II was like the Moonlight Hayate of that time.

"Shinnosuke."

"Mr. Minister."

"Here you help Arafune Er keep an eye on it. This time, the main assessment is on forging skills. However, if someone shows that his or her character does not meet the requirements of our forging department, then you should also record it."

"Yes, Sir Minister."

Osamu Uehara returned to his forging room.

Come to the smelting furnace.

"Chakra smelting technique."

A large amount of fire attribute chakra entered the furnace.

"The scale of recruitment this time is larger than last time. Logically speaking, it should bring me more prestige."

As soon as the ten candidates for assessment heard the word "start" from Arafune's mouth, they immediately started taking action.

I rushed to the material area and selected.

Even a scramble.

However, because Arafuneji was present and the escort members of the Forging Department were present, they did not dare to start a real fight.

But it can also be seen how much they cherish this opportunity.

Ten people compete for one spot.

Once successful, with the current situation of the Forging Department, it is equivalent to changing one's future.

Arafuneji felt a little emotional when he saw this.

At first, Arafuneji watched the blacksmiths leaving the forging island one by one.

But now, we can actually see these blacksmiths competing so hard for a spot in the blacksmithing department.

"Forging Island, back!"

"No, it's already better than before!"

Tanaka Shinnosuke felt a sense of urgency.

Because the last recruitment for the blacksmithing department was a bit rough.

In addition, at that time, the reputation of the Blacksmithing Department was not as good as it is now.

Many outstanding blacksmiths did not accept the invitation.

Tanaka Shinnosuke knew that his own level was not considered outstanding among these people.

It can be said that the last time was my only chance.

If you miss it, there will definitely be no possibility of joining the Blacksmithing Club again.

"Fortunately, I took advantage of the opportunity last time."

"I don't know why that guy was eliminated."

Tanaka Shinnosuke recalled the blacksmith who performed best in the process of forging swords at that time.

"But whatever the reason, I have to thank him."

"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have this opportunity."

"Thank you very much."
