Chapter 20 I Know You Are Anxious, but Don’t Be Anxious Yet!
Uehara Osamu smiled.
"Thank you for your sparring, goodbye!"
The Integrity Knight's heart skipped a beat, and he felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, the next moment, under the gaze of the Integrity Knight, Uehara Osamu's figure disappeared in a very strange way, just like that.
No trace at all.
It was as if he had never appeared before.
The words that Uehara Osamu said before he disappeared made the Integrity Knight feel that he was being severely mocked.
"Little brat!"
Uehara Osamu returned to the forging island.
Biwa Juzo's figure appeared next to Uehara Osamu.
And in front of Uehara Osamu was the material for forging the Blue Rose Sword.
"Xiu, is this the material for forging a ninja sword?"
Uehara Osamu nodded.
"Juzou-senior, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Biwa Juzo saw Uehara Osamu carrying the materials and walking towards the forging room, and couldn't help asking.
"Xiu, are you forging now?"
"No."
Uehara Osamu shook his head.
"Let's prepare first. When I'm sure, I'll start forging. After all, there's only this material. If I fail, there's no chance to start over. I must ensure success."
Arafune followed.
"Minister Uehara, is there anything I can do?"
Uehara Osamu assigned some preparations to Arafune.
Next, Uehara Osamu took out the blueprint of the Blue Rose Sword, analyzed, recorded, and deduced the contents above, and after doing all this, he began to try.
Just like the last time when he forged Kiri Ichimonji, he used other materials first to rehearse.
Soon Uehara Osamu entered the state.
He was completely immersed in forging.
Arafune could clearly see that Uehara Osamu's forging skills were far superior to his own, and he was not a little bit stronger.
"As expected of a forger who can forge swords of the level of the Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist."
"When it comes to forging, Minister Uehara is a genius."
"I am far inferior to him."
"No, even my teacher is inferior to him."
Three days later, Uehara Osamu walked out of the forging room and fell asleep.
The next day, early in the morning, Uehara Osamu came to the forging room again.
"Senior Juzo, I am going to start forging officially. You cannot be disturbed from now on."
Loquat Juzo nodded.
"Osamu, don't worry. As long as I am here, no one can disturb you. I promise that even if the Mizukage comes in person, I will stop him."
"Then I'll leave it to Senior Juzo."
Arafune II looked at the door of the forging room, with both respect and envy in his eyes.
These days, even though Uehara Osamu did not officially start forging the Blue Rose Sword, Arafune II saw with his own eyes how Uehara Osamu processed various materials.
Uehara Osamu's skills completely impressed Arafune II.
Before, Arafune II believed in the judgment of the Third Mizukage, but after all, he had not seen it with his own eyes.
Therefore, Arafune II still had a trace of doubt in his heart.
Now, after seeing it with his own eyes, Arafune II no longer had any doubt in his heart.
"When will I be able to achieve the forging skills of Minister Uehara?"
Biwa Juzo was guarding the door of the forging room, and next to him, the beheading sword was stuck in the ground.
"I wonder what kind of ninja sword the Shukai will forge this time."
Taketori Station.
A middle-aged man smashed the cup in his hand to the ground.
"What does this Mizukage mean?"
"You said you would abolish the forging island, why don't you abolish it now?"
Opposite, there was an old man, who was the current patriarch of the Taketori clan.
"Mitsuki, calm down." Taketori Mitsuru looked at the old man.
"Master clan leader, how can you ask me to stay calm? We agreed that when the Forge Island is vacant, it will be handed over to our Taketori clan. The Forge Island will be of great use to us."
"But now, the Mizukage said he would go back on his word. He must not forget that the reason he could succeed the Mizukage was entirely due to the support of our Taketori clan."
The old man picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"According to the news from the Mizukage, it was a young blacksmith on the Forge Island who suddenly forged a ninja sword of the level of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist. Therefore, the Mizukage stopped the ban on the Forge Island."
Taketori Hikaru snorted coldly.
"Do you believe this, clan leader?"
"I don't believe it anyway."
"Is it so easy to forge a ninja sword of the level of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist?"
"If it were so easy, there wouldn't be only those seven ninja swords for so many years."
"We all know what kind of people those blacksmiths on the Forging Island are. They are just a bunch of liars who cheat the village's resources. They are young blacksmiths. The old ones can't do it. Can the young ones do it?"
The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "The Mizukage would not pass on such news without a reason."
"Light, I know you are anxious, but don't worry."
"We can send someone to the Forging Island to investigate the situation."
Taketori Mitsu immediately stood up.
"Clan leader, then I'll go."
The old man was about to stop him, but Taketori Mitsu had already rushed out.
The old man had no choice but to give up.
Soon, Taketori Mitsu arrived near the Forging Island.
Two figures followed behind Taketori Mitsu.
They were both members of Taketori Mitsu's clan and his subordinates.
Biwa Juzo immediately sensed the breath of the newcomer and stood up quickly. At the same time, one hand had already touched the handle of the beheading sword, and his eyes were vigilantly looking forward.
Taketori Hikari and the other two approached.
When he saw Biwa Juzo, Taketori Hikari was slightly surprised.
He didn't quite understand why Biwa Juzo was here.
"Taketori Hikari."
"Biwa Juzo, why are you here?"
"I am serving as the Forge Island Guard under the order of the Mizukage-sama. Taketori Hikari, what are you doing here?"
After seeing Taketori Hikari, Biwa Juzo became even more vigilant.
Because Biwa Juzo knew the Taketori clan.
If Kirigakure is the representative of violence among the major ninja villages, then the Taketori clan is the representative of violence in Kirigakure. The people of this ninja family are all very violent.
Biwa Juzo could feel that Taketori Mitsuki seemed to be looking for trouble.
"You? The forger's guard? The order from the Mizukage himself?"
Taketori Mitsuki's eyes flickered.
This made Taketori Mitsuki a little suspicious.
One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure actually came to the forging island to serve as a guard?
Could it be that the matter of the ninja swords is true?
"Yes."
"Where is the young forger? Where is he? I heard that he forged a ninja sword of the level of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure. I'm very interested. Let him come out and take a look."
"Xiu is forging, no one can disturb him."
Taketori Mitsuki suddenly laughed.
"Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"
