Chapter 7 The Third Mizukage's Shock!

"Please inform me."

"Mizukage-sama said that no one can disturb him when he is busy."

"We have something very important."

The guarding ninja narrowed his eyes slightly.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.

Osamu Uehara was a little surprised by the hostility of the Kirigakure village ninjas.

But then I thought about it, wasn't it a characteristic of Kirigakure ninjas to be aggressive?

It's just that the situation on Forging Island is slightly different.

The guarding ninja's eyes fell on Inikisaki Kisame.

Kisame Kisaki showed no intention of retreating.

for a long time.

"I'm going to report to Mizukage-sama. Just wait here and don't come in without permission. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences of offending Mizukage-sama."

After saying that, the guarding ninja turned and entered the Mizukage Building.

A figure quietly left the Mizukage Building without anyone seeing it.

Not long after, the guarding ninja came back.

"Mizukage-sama lets you in."

Osamu Uehara and Kisame Mikigaki walked into the Mizukage Building.

Zabuza followed behind calmly.

Osamu Uehara looked at the Third Mizukage sitting opposite.

With long hair and slender eyes, he looks like a very calm and gentle person.

Even speaking is slow and slow.

There was no hint of impatience on his body.

However, the Blood Mist begins precisely from the Third Mizukage period.

Osamu Uehara was not sure whether it was Uchiha Madara who controlled the Third Mizukage from the beginning and created the policy of Blood Mist, or whether the Third Mizukage himself had such an idea.

But whether it's the former or the latter, it proves that the current third generation Mizukage is not what he appears to be.

"sit."

The Third Mizukage closed the document in his hand and rubbed his temples. Then, he forced a smile and looked at Kamehara and Shu.

"Matsumoto told me that you have something very important. What is it?"

Osamu Uehara presented the Kiriichimonji in his hand.

"Mizukage-sama, this is the ninja sword I just made, named Kiri Yimonji."

"Ninja sword?"

The Third Mizukage took it and looked at it.

"It's very good. The shape, sharpness, and toughness of the knife are all top-notch among the ninja swords."

The Third Mizukage commented and looked at Kamihara Shu.

"May I have your name?"

"Lord Huishuikage, my name is Uehara Shu, and I am a disciple of Teacher Sanmu."

"Sangmu?"

The third Mizukage showed a surprised expression.

"Sanmu also made me a Ninja Sword back then. It was very good. It is second only to the Kirigakure Seven Ninja Swords."

"Among the many blacksmiths on the Forging Island, Sangmu's skills are considered to be among the best."

"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, Sang Mu's disciples are already so big."

"You can create a ninja sword of such quality. If Sangmu is still alive, he will definitely feel very happy."

"Forging Island has young people like you, so there is no need to worry."

But suddenly, the third Mizukage's expression froze slightly.

Because the Third Mizukage remembered.

Not long ago, he officially issued the order to ban the Forging Island, cancel the status of all blacksmiths, and convert the blacksmiths into ordinary task ninjas.

The Third Mizukage looked at Uehara Shu and then at Zabuza.

It was Zabuza who carried out the mission of clearing out the Forging Island.

The Third Mizukage immediately understood Uehara Osamu's intention.

"Xiu, this ninja sword you made is really good."

The Third Mizukage said: "However, on the battlefield, such a ninja sword is not much different from the ninja sword of the Iron Kingdom. The village must consider the interests of the entire village."

"The existence of Forging Island has a negative effect on the village."

"The consumption of a blacksmith is huge."

"In times of peace, the village can support us."

"But now the war is going strong."

"I know this is a cruel thing for you."

"But, Xiu, for the sake of the village, I had to make that decision."

The Third Mizukage said it tactfully, but it was actually very clear.

In other words, the existence of the blacksmith and the existence of the forging island is a burden to Kirigakure Village.

This is indeed a fact.

A blacksmith consumes a lot of resources.

Like the puppet master of Sand Hidden Village.

In addition to talent, resource consumption is also a huge problem faced by puppet masters.

Otherwise, why are there so few puppet masters in Sand Hidden Village?

Can't you really find someone who has achieved the talent?

impossible.

The real key lies in resources.

Most ninjas are actually not rich.

He didn't even dare to buy two more detonating charms.

Many of the ninja tools in the hands of ninjas have been recycled and repaired many times.

The blacksmith's consumption of resources is not as terrible as the puppet master's, and the things produced can be used after all, but the cost is much higher than the ninja tools of the Iron Kingdom.

But facing Kirigakure Village in a war period, the Third Mizukage didn't want to invest this resource.

Not just the third Mizukage.

The same goes for senior officials in other villages.

"Unless you can create a ninja sword of the same level as the Kirigakure Seven Ninja Swords, but that should be unlikely."

The Third Mizukage said.

The Kirigakure Seven Ninja Swords are all forged by the same forger.

It is because of this forger that the Forge Island was built, and so many forgers came after that.

But after this forger, no ninja sword that could reach this level appeared.

Therefore, a saying spread in the Hidden Mist Village.

——It is not the forging skills of the Hidden Mist Village that are strong, but only the great forger.

The Third Mizukage also agrees with this view.

And that forger has long passed away.

The Third Mizukage does not think there will be a second forger like this.

"Mizukage-sama."

Uehara Shu said: "I think that Kiri Ichimonji should be comparable to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist."

"Look, Shu, you also know that this is impossible..."

Suddenly, the Third Mizukage's expression froze for a moment, and the first half of the sentence came out of his mouth. The Third Mizukage realized that Uehara Shu was not saying that Kiri Ichimonji was not as good as the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist.

What he said was that Kiri Ichimonji reached the level of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist.

The Third Mizukage looked at Uehara Shu, and his expression became serious.

"Shu, you said this ninja sword has reached the level of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?"

"Yes, Mizukage-sama."

Uehara Shu said: "The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are all excellent ninja swords, the double-bladed saury, the broken sword beheading, the long sword sewing, the blunt sword Kabutoki, the thunder sword Fang, the explosive sword Feimo, and the large sword Samehada."

"Saury can increase chakra."

"Beheading can self-repair."

"Sewing has extremely strong penetration."

"Kabutoki can cut through anything."

"Fang has extremely strong lightning escape."

"Feimo adds detonating talisman damage."

"Samehada absorbs chakra."

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist have their own special abilities."

"Kiri Ichimonji also has them."

"The wound caused by Kiri Ichimonji will be affected by special effects and cannot be healed within 10 days. After 10 days, the effect on the wound will disappear."
