Naruto: Hidden Mist's Great Blacksmith

"Forging? Can't be disturbed? Biwa Juzo, are you saying that young blacksmith is currently forging the second Hidden Mist Seven Ninja Swords-level Ninjato?"

Biwa Juzo tightened his grip on the Executioner's Blade's hilt.

"That's right."

Now Biwa Juzo was certain that Kaguya Hikari was trouble.

Biwa Juzo didn't know Kaguya Hikari's reasons.

But Biwa Juzo knew that the Kaguya Clan were all lunatics, and lunatics were capable of anything.

If he were to say that Uehara Soma was just forging ordinary shinobi tools, Kaguya Hikari would definitely burst into the forging room.

Kaguya Hikari had three people with him, and Biwa Juzo couldn't guarantee that Uehara Soma wouldn't be disturbed.

Therefore, Biwa Juzo could only tell the truth.

Just a moment ago, Kaguya Hikari seemed somewhat doubtful.

Now Kaguya Hikari didn't believe him at all.

"Biwa Juzo, do you know what you're saying?"

"As far as I know, that young blacksmith only recently forged a Hidden Mist Seven Ninja Swords-level Ninjato, and now you're telling me he's already forging a second one?"

"Do you think I would believe that?"

"Do you believe it yourself?"

"Since when has forging a Hidden Mist Seven Ninja Swords-level Ninjato become such an easy task?"

"One every half month?"

"Are you saying that our Great Blacksmith from Hidden Mist Village back then was incompetent?"

"Or is this young blacksmith now just too skilled?"

Kaguya Hikari's face darkened.

"Biwa Juzo, I don't know what kind of plan you have with the Mizukage, but Forging Island belongs to our Kaguya Clan, that's what the Mizukage promised."

"Now, since you say there's a young blacksmith who has forged a Hidden Mist Seven Ninja Swords-level Ninjato, fine, I'll believe you, but I need to see proof."

"Bring out that young blacksmith!"

Biwa Juzo glanced back.

Biwa Juzo knew what Uehara Soma was doing inside, very well aware that Uehara Soma at this moment absolutely could not be disturbed.

Once disturbed, all previous efforts might be in vain.

Then, the materials obtained with such difficulty would be useless.

A Hidden Mist Seven Ninja Swords-level Ninjato that was about to emerge might end up stillborn due to a failed forging.

After Kaguya Hikari stated his reasons, Biwa Juzo only felt that things became even more difficult.

If Kaguya Hikari was just causing trouble for no reason, Biwa Juzo thought that relying on the qualifications of the Mist Seven, along with his own strength, might possibly intimidate Kaguya Hikari.

Prevent Kaguya Hikari from acting recklessly.

However, Kaguya Hikari had reasons.

Kaguya Clan without reasons would go insane.

And Kaguya Clan with reasons would only go insane more fiercely.

Now Biwa Juzo had completely lost confidence in being able to control the situation.

"Kaguya Hikari, what I said is all true."

"Soma is inside, forging the second Hidden Mist Seven Ninja Swords-level Ninjato. He cannot be disturbed. If you insist on disturbing him, then I'll have to eliminate you."

"If you want to go inside, you can."

"Step over my dead body!"

Biwa Juzo swung up the Executioner's Blade with one hand, pointing it at Kaguya Hikari.

Arafuni, though scared, did not leave.

Instead, he also grabbed a hammer and stood beside Biwa Juzo.

"Alright! Alright! Alright!"

Anger materialized on Kaguya Hikari's face, as if she had been consumed by fury.

"For the sake of preventing our Kaguya Clan from obtaining Forging Island, not only did you fabricate such a clumsy excuse, but you also have this attitude. Do you really think my Kaguya Clan is dumb?"

'Yes you are' Juzo Thought with dark lines appearing on his face.

"Biwa Juzo, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"Mist Seven, so what?"

"Even a mere Konoha Genin can defeat you, yet you dare to swagger around the village?"

"In the shinobi world, you've become a joke."

"And you're dragging down our entire Hidden Mist Village."

"You're simply a disgrace to the village!"

"The Hidden Mist Seven Ninja Swords are wasted in your hands!"

"If Konoha Genin can kill you, then I, Kaguya Hikari, can kill you too!"

"Since you want us to step over your dead body, fine, we'll step over your dead body. This Executioner's Blade should be used by me, Kaguya Hikari."

"It'll be much better in my hands than in yours!"

Kaguya Hikari took a step forward.

Between the two, the atmosphere reached its breaking point, ready to erupt at any moment.

Suddenly.

"Creak!"

The door to the forging room opened.

Uehara Soma's figure emerged from the forging room, holding in his hands a sword that had just been forged.

A silver hilt.

The guard carved with an exquisite Blue Rose.

The handle wrapped in leather.

The guard adorned with plant branches.

A chilly aura emanated from the blade of the Blue Rose Sword.

The nearby air seemed to freeze.

Everyone's gaze turned towards it.

Unlike Kiriichimonji.

Kiriichimonji's appearance didn't have any particularly distinctive features.

Its special effects could only be seen when used.

But the Blue Rose Sword, just by looking at it, one could tell it wasn't an ordinary Ninjato, but one with special abilities, like the Hidden Mist Seven Ninja Swords.

The intense icy aura, just like Ice Release Kekkei Genkai.

Among the Hidden Mist Seven Ninja Swords, the Thunder Swords allow a ninja who doesn't possess Lightning Release to wield it.

And this Blue Rose Sword, in everyone's eyes, is likely to allow a ninja who doesn't possess Ice Release to wield it.

In that case, the value of the Blue Rose Sword surpasses that of the Thunder Swords.

Lightning Release is just a basic attribute ninjutsu.

But Ice Release is a Kekkei Genkai.

This is equivalent to providing Hidden Mist Village with a permanent Ice Release Kekkei Genkai ninja.

Biwa Juzo's face brightened.

"Soma, did you succeed?"

Uehara Soma nodded.

Then his gaze turned towards Kaguya Hikari and the others.

"Juzo-senpai, what is this?"

At this moment, a team of ANBU Ninja approached at high speed.

The leader of the ANBU team, seeing that neither side had truly engaged, breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned to Kaguya Hikari, speaking in a deep voice.

"Kaguya Hikari, Mizukage-sama has ordered you to come over immediately."

Kaguya Hikari snapped out of his daze, casting a deep glance at Uehara Soma.

"Understood."

Arafuni looked at Uehara Soma with even more admiration in his eyes.

As Kaguya Hikari headed towards the Mizukage's Building, he forced himself to calm down, digesting him previous shock.

"I didn't expect it to be true!"

"Another blacksmith like this has appeared."

"And another Hidden Mist Seven Ninja Swords-level Ninjato has been forged."
