Chapter 9 The Third Mizukage's Reward!
"Is this what the Forging Island looks like now?
The Third Mizukage felt a little sad.
The third Mizukage issued the order to ban the Forging Island and change all the blacksmiths into mission ninjas. After discussing with many senior officials in the village, the Third Mizukage felt that the Forging Island and the blacksmiths had no value.
With the current situation of Kirigakure Village, it cannot continue to support the Forging Island.
However, the Third Mizukage did not expect that the Forging Island had already become so decadent and dilapidated before his order was officially issued.
Compared with the last time the Third Mizukage came here, it was like a world in the sky and a world below.
Osamu Uehara explained.
"There used to be more blacksmiths on the Forging Island. Because I heard the news that the village was going to ban the Forging Island, I left the Forging Island early and found other jobs."
The Third Mizukage nodded.
"Xiu, I will leave the forging island to you."
The next moment, the third generation Mizukage's expression became serious.
"Uehara Shu obeys the order."
"Yes, Mizukage-sama."
The Third Mizukage said.
"You have made great contributions to the creation of Kiriichi Monji. I hereby appoint you as the Forging Department, the Minister. You will be fully responsible for the affairs of the Forging Island. You will enjoy the regular ministerial treatment and have two teams under you."
"A small team is the forging team. It is recruited by you personally and enjoys the official establishment treatment. The quota is limited to four people."
"A small team is the Forge Island Guards, personally assigned by me to follow your orders and be responsible for the security of the Forge Island."
"Shu Uehara, are you willing?"
Osamu Uehara quickly agreed.
"Mizukage-sama, I do."
This result has far exceeded Uehara Osamu's expectations.
Osamu Uehara originally just wanted to keep the forging island.
This is related to Uehara Shu's blacksmithing bonus ability.
Once this blacksmithing bonus is lost, it will be much more difficult for Osamu Uehara to successfully build the tools on the drawing.
The difference between a good level of blacksmithing technique and an excellent level of blacksmithing technique is not the slightest bit.
But now, not only has the forging island been saved, Osamu Uehara has also obtained the position of head of the forging department.
Even if it is said that this forging department is a bit weak now, it may be the smallest among the many departments in Kirigakure Village, and is smaller than the teams in some departments.
For example, the ANBU team.
However, the treatment at the ministerial level is genuine.
The establishment of the ministerial level is justified.
In a sense, Osamu Uehara can be regarded as a senior official of Kirigakure Village.
There is a guard team dedicated to protecting Forge Island.
You can also independently recruit four established blacksmiths.
All of a sudden, position, status, power...are all there.
It can be said that if Kirigakure Village can remain stable and the ninja world can remain stable in the future, then what Uehara Shu has now will be enough.
It can be said that he is a winner in life.
Osamu Uehara did not expect that the Third Mizukage would give so much.
After all, what Uehara Shu has brought out now is just a handful of tung trees and a single letter.
Still of ordinary quality.
Moreover, Kirigakure Village already has the Seven Ninja Swords.
Coupled with the previous disastrous defeat of the Seven Kirigakure people when facing Matdai, everyone in Kirigakure Village's evaluation of the Seven Ninja Swords has dropped. Naturally, they will not have too strong opinions on the newly emerged Ninja Swords. expect.
It can be said that what the Third Mizukage gave Uehara to cultivate was much more than what should be given based on the current situation of Kirigakure Village.
Uehara Osamu was a little surprised.
"good."
The Third Mizukage patted Uehara Shuu on the shoulder and said: "Shu, I leave everything to you here. I hope you can lead the Forging Island and return to its peak."
"However, the current situation in the village is not very good."
"So in terms of resources, it won't be able to give the Forging Island a lot of help."
"I hope you can understand this, Xiu."
Osamu Uehara nodded.
"Mizukage-sama, I know. I will try my best to make more and better ninja swords to live up to your expectations, Mizukage-sama. As for resources, I am actually not too short at the moment."
In fact, the current result is already very satisfying to Osamu Uehara.
In terms of resources, Osamu Uehara is indeed not lacking.
After all, the drawings produced by the system require materials that are not ordinary materials in the ninja world.
Instead, materials need to be obtained from copies of dimensional materials.
"Most likely because they value my potential."
"In addition to the forging aspect, there is no one else in Kirigakure Village besides me."
"That's why these incentives are being given."
The image of the third Mizukage in Shuu Uehara's heart gradually became fuller.
Appearance is elegant and easy-going.
But deep down, his character can be described as crazy.
The scene where the Third Mizukage stabbed himself with Kiriichimonji without hesitation really shocked Uehara Osamu.
Existences that are useless to the village can be banned and eliminated without hesitation.
But those who have potential, hope, and promising parts can be generously rewarded.
However, after receiving these rewards, Osamu Uehara has no idea of sitting back and relaxing.
Because Osamu Uehara knew very well that the Kirigakure Village in the future would still be full of crises.
Uchiha Madara's design.
The fight within Kirigakure Village.
The persecution of blood successor ninja.
The persecution of the ninja family.
Uchiha Obito's control over Yagura.
The defection of the jinchūriki.
Not to mention the disaster that will sweep through the entire ninja world in the future.
Uchiha Obito's Moon Eye Project.
An Akatsuki organization that likes to make others feel pain.
Kaguya Otsutsuki's resurrection plan.
Toneri Otsutsuki from the moon.
And the Otsutsuki clan from outer space.
Jonin?
Not enough.
Kage level?
Not enough.
Only by reaching the Six Paths, or even above the Six Paths, can you truly say that in this world, you have enough self-protection power to ensure that you will definitely survive.
Therefore, Uehara Shuu not only has no idea of stopping, but also has a strong sense of urgency.
Gain more reputation.
Forge more ninja swords.
Complete more system tasks.
Get more rewards.
Make your own strength stronger.
Before having enough power, Uehara Shuu will not slow down.
"That's good."
The Third Mizukage smiled.
"Shuu, I'll take you here. Forging Island is yours from today, and as for the user."
The Third Mizukage looked at Hoshigaki Kisame.
"Kisame, you try it now."
Kisame Hoshigaki stepped forward, a little excited.
Kisame Hoshigaki told Uehara Osamu before that he didn't want to be rewarded, because as a friend, Kisame Hoshigaki thought that as a friend, he shouldn't ask for rewards for helping his friend.
But Kisame Hoshigaki was extremely eager for ninja swords.
Kisame Hoshigaki had longed to have his own ninja sword since he was a child, and longed to become one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
Now he finally has this opportunity.
Kiri Ichimonji has been personally tested by the Third Mizukage.
The Third Mizukage personally proved that this is indeed a ninja sword of the level of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
And from the effect, it is not weaker than the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
"Catch it."
As he said, the Third Mizukage threw Kiri Ichimonji to Kisame Hoshigaki.
"Yes, Lord Mizukage."
