Chapter 2 Forge Island Must Survive!
"They say that the Forge Island hasn't produced a ninja sword of the level of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist for decades, and there is no possibility of this in the future."
"And the ordinary ninja tools made by the Iron Country are not worse than those made by the Forge Island, and the price is even cheaper."
"Therefore, there is no need for the Forge Island to exist at all."
"There is no need for blacksmiths."
"It just so happens that the village is short of manpower recently, and blacksmiths can be added as task ninjas."
"Some people even say that even if ninja tools like the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are made, it is meaningless."
"It is said that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were defeated so thoroughly when facing a mere Genin from Konoha. Four of them were killed on the spot, and the remaining three fled in embarrassment."
"Even if ninja tools comparable to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are made, it is meaningless."
Kisame Hoshigaki said indignantly.
"These people are simply talking nonsense!"
Uehara Osamu's face became even uglier.
The village banned the Forge Island, and not only did Uehara Osamu lose the forging bonus, but the village also had to add the forger to the task ninja, which was even more of a disaster for Uehara Osamu.
As a forger, in addition to basic ninjutsu, he had to learn the forging technique.
He was not good at fighting at all.
In this case, asking the forger to be a task ninja, given the danger of the Kirigakure mission and the mortality rate of the task ninja, what is the difference between this and directly sending the forger to die?
"We can't let the Forge Island be banned."
"We can't become a task ninja."
Uehara Osamu's eyes flickered wildly.
"The only way may be to build Kiri Ichimonji before the village officially issues an order."
"If the Forge Island is valuable, it will not be banned."
"If the forger is valuable, he will not be assigned to be a task ninja."
"But with my strength, it will be difficult to successfully obtain materials when entering the dimensional material copy."
"I need a thug who is already quite powerful."
Uehara Osamu looked at Hoshigaki Kisame.
Hoshigaki Kisame is quite strong, even though he has not obtained Samehada yet and is not very old.
However, he is already quite good with his chakra absorption technique and water escape technique.
Moreover, Hoshigaki Kisame is the only friend of Uehara Osamu at present.
That is, the only person that Uehara Osamu could possibly recruit.
"Kisame, you said before that your dream is to have a ninja sword comparable to the Seven Ninja Swords. Is that still the case now?"
Hoshigaki Kisame was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Uehara Osamu to ask this. Now is not the time to talk about his dreams. The problem now is the future of Forge Island and forgers.
But Hoshigaki Kisame still nodded.
"Of course."
"No matter what the price, is it okay?"
"Yes."
Hoshigaki Kisame said: "My dream since childhood is to have a ninja sword like that and become a similar existence to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Even if it costs me a lot, I have no problem."
Uehara Osamu looked away and looked at the sea.
"In fact, the teacher told me one thing before he died."
Uehara Shu decided to push the system's capabilities to his deceased teacher.
The person is gone, and there is no one to verify.
No matter what Uehara Shu said, others have to believe it.
This is the advantage of being "dead".
Even if the recruitment order for thugs has confidentiality.
"The reason why the Forge Island cannot forge a ninja sword comparable to the Seven Ninja Swords is that the forgers on the Forge Island are much inferior to their predecessors in terms of technology."
"But more importantly, it's a problem of materials."
"My teacher's teacher obtained the materials in a place called the Forge Spiritual Holy Land, and then completed the forging of the Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist."
"But it is very difficult to enter this Forge Spiritual Holy Land."
"First, you need to comprehend the forging technique to a certain extent."
"Second, you need a special physique."
"Just like the blood limit."
"In addition, it is very dangerous inside."
Kisame Hoshigaki's eyes widened slightly, digesting the information said by Uehara Osamu.
Uehara Osamu continued.
"Teacher gave me a lot of help before he died."
"So now, in fact, many conditions have been met. I have the special physique that teacher said. Just a few days ago, I had an epiphany and the forging skills also met the requirements."
"But there is still a problem, that is, my personal combat strength is not enough."
"To enter the Holy Land of Forge Spiritual Summoning and obtain forging materials, you need to fight."
"But I am not good at fighting."
Uehara Shu retracted his gaze and looked at Hoshigaki Kisame.
"Kisame, I need you to help me."
Hoshigaki Kisame came back to his senses.
"Shu, how can I help you?"
Uehara Shu took out the thug recruitment order and handed it to Hoshigaki Kisame, saying: "This is the contract of the Holy Land of Forge Spiritual Summoning. Kisame, if you agree to this contract, I can summon you from the Holy Land of Forge Spiritual Summoning."
"I need Kisame to help me fight."
Uehara Shu did not directly say that this was a thug recruitment order, but changed to another way.
The effect is the same, but the feeling of people listening is different.
Calling him a thug or something like that is too disrespectful.
"As long as I can successfully obtain materials from the Blacksmith Spiritual Holy Land, I can make a good ninja sword."
"Maybe I can solve the crisis of the Forge Island and the Blacksmith."
"If you like this ninja sword I made, Kisame, then I will give it to you as your reward, how about it?"
Kisame Hoshigaki waved his hand.
"Reward or not, no need to do this, Xiu, you are my friend, I help you, it is what friends should do, no need to talk about rewards, it's just a battle, no problem at all."
As he said this, a hint of excitement appeared on Kisame Hoshigaki's face.
"Xiu, even if it's not to help you, I am happy to participate in such a battle."
"I didn't expect there is a place like the Blacksmith Spiritual Holy Land."
"Xiu, when are we going to act?"
Kisame Hoshigaki agreed to the contract of the recruitment order without any hesitation.
A ray of light flashed on the recruitment order.
Then, the color of the recruitment order changed slightly.
Uehara Osamu looked at Hoshigaki Kisame and was somewhat touched.
As far as the current situation is concerned, Hoshigaki Kisame is definitely not here for the reward of the ninja sword. He himself is not sure that he can make a very good ninja sword, and Hoshigaki Kisame is even less sure.
Therefore, Hoshigaki Kisame agreed so straightforwardly, completely for the friendship between the two.
To help Uehara Osamu, not to plot anything.
"Kisame, are you ready?"
Hoshigaki Kisame's eyebrows moved slightly.
"I'm ready anytime."
Uehara Osamu took out the blueprint of Kiri Ichimonji and thought.
"Okay, then now."
