Chapter 102 The Upcoming Nohara Lin Incident?

The four forgers quickly started to act.

They picked up discarded kunai, took them to the furnace, and melted them. After the smelting was done, they forged and shaped them, and then quenched, annealed, and finally polished them.

In this way, a complete ninja sword can be made.

Uehara Osamu and Arafune II watched very seriously.

Especially Arafune II.

Because Arafune II knew that the trainee forgers recruited this time would basically be his partners in the future.

Other forgers could not participate in Uehara Osamu's ninja sword forging.

Uehara Osamu watched the forging of several forgers while looking at the translucent screen in front of him.

The number in the reputation column above has become more than 700 as his identity was revealed in front of several forgers.

"After the assessment is over, if I show my forging skills, I should be able to get another wave of reputation growth."

"Then it's not far from 1,000 points."

On the other side.

Hozuki Mangetsu's figure came to the Land of Fire.

A ninja sword attracted the attention of the surrounding ninjas.

It was the flounder.

The flounder has two abilities.

One is liberation.

When enough chakra is sent in, a chakra ball can be created.

This chakra ball is extremely destructive.

In the original plot, even Uchiha Sasuke's Susanoo was repelled far away.

It can be seen that the power of the flounder is strong.

The second ability is to accumulate chakra.

Killing an enemy can accumulate some chakra.

These chakras will be stored in the flounder.

When enough enemies are killed, the flounder is released, and the power that bursts out is simply unimaginable.

Mangetsu looked at the enemy in front of him and recalled the expectations of the family members for him.

"Man Yue, you are the first member of the Seven Hozuki. I hope you can set a good example."

"Go to the battlefield and let everyone know the name of the Seven Hozuki."

"Let everyone know the name of the Seven Hozuki."

Man Yue Hozuki's expression became firm.

Pick up the flounder and hold it tightly.

"A little devil!"

The Konoha ninja on the opposite side didn't care about Man Yue Hozuki.

However, when the two got close and they really fought, the Konoha ninja realized that what he thought was wrong.

"Bang!"

Man Yue Hozuki's chakra condensed on the flounder.

"Liberate!"

The next moment, a huge chakra ball fell on the Konoha ninja.

In an instant, the Konoha ninja was blown away.

"Crack!"

There were continuous sounds of broken bones and shattering from his body.

The Konoha ninja fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then there was no movement.

"Kid!"

The Konoha ninja next to him glared at Mangetsu Kizuki.

Mangetsu Kizuki looked at the Konoha ninja calmly.

"I'm not a kid, my name is Mangetsu Kizuki!"

"I'm the Seven of the Kizuki!"

To be honest, Mangetsu Kizuki felt that these words were a bit awkward, but for the sake of the family, Mangetsu Kizuki was willing to do this.

"The Seven of the Kizuki?"

The Konoha ninja was obviously stunned.

When Mangetsu Kizuki acted on the battlefield under the name of the Seven of the Kizuki, the mood of the accompanying Kizuki ninja suddenly became a bit complicated.

"The Hozuki clan is too selfish. They turned the Seven Kirigakure into the Seven Hozuki."

"But we have to admit that Hozuki Mangetsu is indeed very talented."

"At this age, he already has the strength of a top Chunin."

"After Hoshigaki Kisame, the young generation in our village may be Hozuki Mangetsu."

"What about Momochi Zabuza?"

"Momochi Zabuza is relatively less talented, and Momochi Zabuza doesn't have a ninja sword."

When Zabuza heard such discussions, he couldn't help but tighten the ninja sword in his hand.

Zabuza thought he was the genius and was not convinced by Hoshigaki Kisame.

But after the battle with Kakashi and Asuma, Zabuza realized that he was indeed not as strong as Hoshigaki Kisame for the time being.

But Zabuza felt that as long as he could get a ninja sword, there would be hope to catch up with Hoshigaki Kisame.

But what Zabuza didn't expect was that before he caught up with Hoshigaki Kisame, Hozuki Mangetsu was about to catch up with him, which gave Zabuza a strong sense of urgency.

"It's okay that I can't compare with Hoshigaki Kisame, but I was caught up by Hozuki Mangetsu. What kind of genius am I?"

"Absolutely not!"

The discussion of the Kirigakure ninjas continued.

"Unconsciously, the situation in the village seems to have changed a lot."

"The Kirigakure Seven Ninja Swordsmen and the Kirigakure Seven People have disappeared directly."

"Instead, the Hozuki Seven Ninja Swordsmen and the Hozuki Seven People have appeared."

"At the same time, there are newly appeared Zanpakuto and the Death God Squad."

"I don't know who will be strong and who will be weak in the future."

"But this seems to be a good thing for our Kirigakure as a whole. There are more and more ninja swords, and there will be more and more ninjas holding ninja swords."

"This means that the strength of our Kirigakure will be stronger."

The name of Hozuki Mangetsu soon spread in the ninja world.

The battlefield is the place where ninjas become famous.

What's more, there are still many topics about Mangetsu Kizuna.

The descendant of the second generation Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu.

The first Hozuki Seven.

And the comparison with Zanpakuto and members of the Shinigami Squad.

Just like some Kirigakure ninjas said, no matter if there are any contradictions or conflicts in the middle, it all represents that Kirigakure is developing towards a stronger strength.

Then this is an extremely bad thing for Konoha.

Hokage Building.

"Hirozen."

Danzo entered the Hokage's office.

"First it was Hoshigaki Kisame, then Momochi Zabuza, and now there is Hozuki Mangetsu..."

"And we in Konoha only have one Hatake Kakashi."

"Hirozen, we must not only consider the present of Konoha, but also the future of Konoha. When all these people now are old, who can support Konoha?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a while.

"Shisui is not bad..."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Danzo.

"He is Uchiha!"

Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hiruzen, I know that you and I have different ideas, but now I am completely for Konoha."

"The Hidden Mist Village has proved that the policy of the Blood Mist Village is effective."

"We in Konoha do not need to completely copy the Blood Mist Village, but at least we can implement the Blood Mist Village policy for some ninjas, so that we can create geniuses."

"You are unwilling to do such a thing, Hiruzen."

"Then I will do it."

"I will take all the responsibilities."

Danzo said sincerely.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen still did not agree.

"Let me think about it again."

"Still thinking?"

"After all, this is a long-term matter, there is no need to rush, Danzo, be patient, I will seriously consider it, what is the situation in the Hidden Mist Village now?"

Danzo frowned.

"After Minato left, the Iwagakure ninjas calmed down a lot, but the Sand Village is now at a disadvantage facing the Kirigakure."

"After Biwa Juzo severely injured Ye Cang, the Sand Village was in trouble."

"In addition to young ninjas, ninja swords are also a big problem."

"The Kirigakure Village calls those new ninja swords Zanpakuto, and the Kirigakure Village calls those ninjas holding Zanpakuto the Death Squad. Obviously, they are targeting our Konoha."

"My people have already found out some information."

"The Kirigakure Village has indeed appeared a new great blacksmith."

"This means that there may be more ninja swords in the future."

"At that time, young ninjas and elite ninjas in our Konoha may not be able to compete with the Kirigakure Village."

"Huruzen, I suggest that we focus our main energy on dealing with the Kirigakure Village."

"We must find that great blacksmith and deal with him."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

"Okay."

Danzo's face improved a little.

But no matter Konoha or Kirigakure, they didn't know that deep underground.

In a cave.

An old man, his body full of tubes.

A white figure emerged from the mud.

"My lord."

"Have you arranged everything?"

"It's already been arranged."

Uchiha Madara nodded.

"In that case, we can wake up that kid."

"Yes, my lord."

Uchiha Madara's eyes flickered.

"When watching his best friend, he had no choice but to kill the girl he liked with his own hands. With this kid's personality, he should be able to be used by me."

"Only in this way can we truly save this dirty ninja world."

"I have prepared everything."

"Hashirama cells, tailed beasts, friendship, love..."

"Obito, go and see the cruelty of this world!"

"Go and feel the real pain!"

When Uchiha Obito woke up, Uchiha Madara concealed all this, not only helped Obito recover, but also let a white Zetsu fuse with Obito, so that Obito could gain extra power.

And he also deliberately gave Uchiha Obito freedom.

When Uchiha Obito, who had regained his ability to move, was full of joy and was ready to go to the battlefield where the Kirigakure and Konoha ninjas were fighting, Nohara Rin and Kakashi had already fallen into a desperate situation.

"Rin!"

Kakashi saw Nohara Rin being captured and wanted to chase her, but was stopped by several Kirigakure ninjas.

"Get out of my way!"

In Kakashi's eyes, the magatama of the Sharingan quickly turned.

The eye that was not the Sharingan also turned red.

Having already lost his partner Obito, Kakashi did not want to lose Nohara Rin as a partner.

Even though Kakashi was not very enthusiastic about these two companions at ordinary times.

But in his heart, Kakashi had already regarded the two as one of his closest people.

However, the strength of these Mist Ninjas was not weak.

In terms of numbers, they also had an advantage.

In this situation, Kakashi could not break through at all.

He could only watch Nohara Rin being taken away.

"Kakashi!"

After a long time, Konoha's ninjas came to support.

But at this time, the Mist Ninja who took Nohara Rin away had already disappeared.

Kakashi lowered his head.

"First it was Obito, and now it's Rin."

"It was a trap before, but now it's an ambush."

"Is this war..."

Kakashi clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh, blood flowing down his fingers.

"Why?"

"Why?"

In Kakashi's mind, he recalled Uchiha Obito's words again.

"Why is there a ninja protecting Asuma, but we have nothing?"

"Is this fair?"

...

...

The Hidden Mist Village.

Forge Island.

"Mizukage-sama?"

Qing saw a small boat approaching the Forge Island, and when he looked over, he saw that the person standing on the bow was the Third Mizukage, so he quickly said something to Uehara Osamu in the forge room.

Uehara Osamu nodded.

"Arafune Ni, I'll go out for a while, you watch here."

"Yes, Minister Uehara."

The two went to the dock to greet them.

"Mizukage-sama!"

"Xiu, Qing."

"Mizukage-sama, how come you have time to come here in person? Is there anything?"

The Third Mizukage shook his head.

"Nothing, I just happened to have time, so I came to see, are you satisfied with those forgers, Xiu?"

"They are still under assessment, and I will decide whether they stay or go based on the results of the assessment."

"In the future, the forging department will focus on surgical knives?"

"Yes, Mizukage-sama."

Uehara Xiu said: "The scale of the Iron Country's ninja tools is too large. Given the situation of the Forging Island, there is basically no chance to compete with the Iron Country in ordinary ninja tools."

"Therefore, we can only take a route that requires higher technology."

The Third Mizukage nodded.

"That's a good idea."

"By the way, Xiu, is there anything else you want?"

"You have already made many ninja tools for the village, such as Kiri Ichimonji, Blue Rose Sword, Dragon Bone, Smiling Qingjiang, Nautilus, and Skull Emperor. You have made great contributions."

The Third Mizukage said, "But the village has not given you enough."

"In addition to the position of the head of the forging department, I think Xiu is fully qualified to be one of the elders of the village."

"In addition to the forgers, the guards of the forging department will no longer be in charge of the Anbu ninjas, but you will select ninjas to form the guards of the forging department."

"Enjoy the village's formal establishment."

"The number of forgers will be increased to ten."

"The number of guards will be increased to thirty-six."

Uehara Xiu's heart moved slightly.

In this way, the changes in the forging department are not small.

The increase in the number of people is equivalent to Uehara Xiu having his own power.

It is no longer a forging island built by the Anbu and friends.

Instead, he has real power.

That is, he is in a similar situation to Mizutomon En and Utatane Koharu of Konoha.

A complete, qualitative change.

If we say that before, Uehara Shuu was just an ordinary senior official in Kirigakure.

Then now, he is a senior official among the senior officials.

"Lord Mizukage, it is a time of war now. Will this put pressure on the manpower of the village's ninjas?"

The Third Mizukage shook his head.

"No, compared to the battlefield, Shuu here is actually more important."

"Now there must be more people who want to know your true identity and appearance and want to get close to you. The safety of Forging Island must not be compromised. The village still has some manpower."

Uehara Shuu did not refuse again.

"In that case, I would like to thank Lord Mizukage."
