Mist Veil Forgemaster: Reigniting the Glory of the Ninja Blade!

Asuma nodded. ₆₉ₛₕᵤₓ.cₒₘ

His own brother lost an arm. Logically speaking, Asma should be sad, but Asma didn't know why. When he heard the news, he felt very calm.

And in his mind, he couldn't help but recall the look of contempt in Kakashi's eyes when he looked at him.

"Did you think before that I was unfair to you and Shinnosuke?"

"I gave Shinnosuke more resources."

"You are younger than Shinnosuke."

"The time and energy I spent training you are far less than Shinnosuke."

"It's not fair to compare you to Shinnosuke."

"If I give you the same conditions, you won't be worse than Shinnosuke?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Then, I will give you this opportunity now."

"I have chosen to step down from the position of Hokage. From now on, I will have more time to spend on family and family matters. I will do my best to train you."

"I hope you won't disappoint me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought that Asuma would be excited after he said this.

What surprised Sarutobi Hiruzen was that Asuma's expression didn't change at all and was even distracted.

"Asuma?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone changed, and Asuma came back to his senses.

"Yes, Father."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly and waved his hand.

"You go down first."

Asma leaves.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen made such a decision before leaving Konoha, Asuma would indeed be excited and work hard to prove himself and prove to everyone that he is no worse than Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

But now, Asma's mind has changed.

"When my eldest brother was here, he disliked me."

"Now that my eldest brother is dead, are you thinking of me again?"

"But why should I do what you want?"

Asuma hates who he is and where he comes from.

Regardless of identity or origin, it was all brought by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In other words, what Asuma hates is actually Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Whatever Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted, Asuma just didn't want to let Hiruzen Sarutobi get his wish.

It's like the confrontation between an unloved young son and his parents in countless second-child families.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep look at Asuma's leaving figure.

"Asuma, don't let me down."

"It's because of you that I retired from the position of Hokage in advance. Otherwise, I would have to wait until the end of the war at least. That would be a more appropriate time."

"Just so I can have time to train you."

"I hope you won't disappoint me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked in the direction of the Hokage Building again.

"Minato is still young. Even if he succeeds, there are still many things that need to be dealt with by me."

“Take your time and don’t rush it completely.”

"The village is currently at war, but the situation is under control."

The news of the change of Hokage was sudden.

Sarutobi Hiruzen announced it directly.

There are no elections.

No vote.

It can be said that it was completely decided by Sarutobi Hiruzen alone.

When the news came out, Namikaze Minato's supporters were naturally overjoyed.

However, Orochimaru was shocked.

When Orochimaru got the news, he was stunned for a long time.

It had been a long, long time since Orochimaru had lost his composure. Even when he was defeated by the Fugu Demon and others, Orochimaru had never been like this. He was just reviewing it in his mind.

"Sarutobi-sensei..."

"So, from the beginning, I didn't even have the slightest hope of becoming Hokage?"

Orochimaru fell into isolation.

It's like, there was a promise of fair competition, but the other party took the back door without moral ethics.

After hearing the news, Orochimaru suddenly felt that it was no longer important that he had worked so hard to find Bamboo Neko and get information about Kirigakure, Zanpakutō, and blacksmiths from Bamboo Neko.

For a moment, Orochimaru felt a little unmotivated.

It's like suddenly losing your purpose in life.

But Orochimaru has more than one goal in life.

In addition to becoming Hokage, the longevity experiment... was also an idea that Orochimaru had determined a long time ago.

When there is no hope of becoming Hokage, Orochimaru will inevitably focus more energy on this aspect.

Also in a bad mood was Shimura Danzo.

Danzo would like to see Orochimaru rise to power.

The two cannot be said to have a good relationship, but in some aspects, they have the same views.

Moreover, the two have a cooperative relationship.

Once Orochimaru takes over, it means that Danzo will gain more power and status.

"What is Hiruzen doing?"

A simple Hokage succession ceremony was held in Konoha, similar to the succession of Yagura in Kirigakure Village.

It was war time after all.

We don’t have that much time and resources to do something big.

But the difference is that Konoha has the custom of carving the Hokage's head on the Hokage Rock. When Hiruzen Sarutobi made his decision, there were already craftsmen climbing up the Hokage Rock and getting busy.

Kirigakure Village does not.

"Hokage-sama."

At night, Minato Namikaze returned home after a busy day.

Kushina Uzumaki was doing the job of a proper wife.

Come to the door early to greet you.

Smile.

Hand over the replacement clogs.

"Kushina."

Namikaze Minato showed a gentle smile.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"No, it's you Minato who's doing the hard work. Hokage's job is very busy, right?"

Namikaze Minato nodded.

"It's really busy."

"But, the Third Generation is helping me, so it's okay. However, once I get familiar with the job, the Third Generation will not spend so much time in the Hokage Building."

Uzumaki Kushina asked again.

"Without you Minato on the battlefield, won't there be a shortage of manpower?"

Namikaze Minato replied.

"No, now the conflict between Iwagakure and Kumogakure has become intense again, so now we only have one main opponent in Konoha, namely Kirigakure."

"Jiraiya-sensei, Danzo-senpai, and Orochimaru-senpai can all go to the battlefield to face the Kirigakure ninjas."

"If the three of them attack at the same time and attack suddenly, without the intervention of other ninja villages, they will have a chance to completely defeat the army of Kirigakure Village."

"That way, maybe we can end the war."

It's too difficult to get to Kirigakure Village.

The terrain of Kirigakure Village is so special.

Even high-level ninjas can ignore environmental factors and still have extremely strong strength.

But low-level ninjas can't do it at all.

Among the army, the largest number of ninjas were chunin and below.

Namikaze Minato knew that both Jiraiya and Orochimaru were very strong.

However, no matter how strong they are, they are only two people.

The Third Raikage, who was known as the most powerful Raikage in Kumogakure Village, was still defeated by Iwagakure Village's human sea tactics.

In addition, the location of Kirigakure Village is not only difficult to get past.

And it's surrounded by the sea.

This is the environment where the ninjas of Kirigakure Village are best suited to perform.

Water is inexhaustible.

For some high-level water escape ninjas, there is no need to turn chakra into water, but just take it directly from the side.

Once they dive underwater, it's hard for Konoha's ninjas to do anything against the Kirigakure ninjas.

"I hope the war will end soon."

The bright moon hangs high.

Namikaze Minato leaned against the bedside and looked out the window, and some scenes from that year could not help but appear in his mind.

"Kushina, do you remember when I told you, do you want to become Hokage?"

"I did it for you."

Namikaze Minato looked back at Uzumaki Kushina.

The long fiery red hair flows on the off-white quilt.

Against the backdrop of the moonlight, it looks even more vivid.

Uzumaki Kushina showed a slight smile.

"I did it too."

"Um?"

Namikaze Minato was stunned for a moment.

"What I said back then was that I was going to be the Hokage's woman. Now Minato, you are the Hokage and I am your wife. Naturally, I am the Hokage's woman. Isn't this right?"

"Yeah."

…

…

"Mr. Buchou, the people arranged by Mizukage-sama have arrived at the safe house. There are twelve people in total."

Osamu Uehara nodded.

"Okay, I'll go there now."

Osamu Uehara took out the Evil King Flame Killing Sword.

Kaguya Izumi followed Uehara Shu.

Qing didn't come.

Now that the above-mentioned original cultivators are strong enough, they don't actually need Qing's protection anymore.

Ao is good at sensing ninjutsu and has Byakugan.

Now Ao still patrols the forging island with his Byakugan regularly every day, but there are other members of the guard who are good at sensing ninjutsu.

Moreover, Ao also needs to be responsible for monitoring Yagura.

In this case, Qing's work is divided into two parts.

One part is patrolling the Forge Island.

Another part is to monitor Yagura.

At this time, Qing was doing this part of the work.

Osamu Uehara's combat strength is already superior to Ao's.

The two walked into the contract hut.

"Spring water, let them come in one after another."

"Yes, Sir Minister."

A young man walked in.

"Mr. Minister."

When the young man saw Osamu Uehara, he quickly saluted.

Uehara Shu nodded slightly.

"Hold the sword hilt."

"yes."

The young man stretched out his hand and grasped the hilt of the Evil King's Flame Killing Sword.

A burst of chakra surged into the past.

Just at this time.

The young man felt a sharp burning pain in his hand and subconsciously let go of his hand.

The Evil King's Flame Killing Sword fell on the table.

A low vibration came from the Evil King's Flame Killing Sword.

Osamu Uehara glanced at it.

The current Evil King Flame Killing Sword looks like a person getting furious after being violated.

"Sorry, you can go out now."

"Yes, Sir Minister."

A look of loneliness appeared on the young man's face and he left.

The second, the third...

Within a few minutes, all twelve candidates had tried.

Except for the twelfth person, all the others had their hands flicked away the moment they grasped the Evil King's Flame Killing Sword.

Only the twelfth person is not like this.

Instead, he was able to hold the Evil King's Flame Killing Sword.

However, the voice that appeared in Uehara Osamu's mind was only qualified.

But just being qualified, in Uehara Shu's view, is not enough.

"Unfortunately."

The twelfth person left disappointed.

Osamu Uehara was also a little disappointed.

"If I were in Konoha, it would be much easier to find a match for the Evil King's Flame Killing Sword."

"I have to admit that Konoha has more talents than Kirigakure Village."

"But, I am from Kirigakure Village."

"This determines that I must stand on the opposite side of Konoha."

"Even if I say that I am willing to join Konoha, Konoha will never give me true trust."

"Uchiha Sasuke in the original plot was born in Konoha, and then made some mistakes. However, Uchiha Sasuke made a huge contribution to saving the ninja world and saving Konoha."

"However, Uchiha Sasuke still does not have the trust of most people in Konoha."

"It's more fear and fear than respect."

"As an outsider, let alone me."

Osamu Uehara looked at the Evil King Flame Killing Sword on the table.

[Evil King's Flame Killing Sword. 】

[Type: long sword. 】

[Quality: perfect. 】

[Ability: Evil King's Flame - With Feiying's demon power seeds as an energy source, he can use the Evil King's Flame that far exceeds ordinary flames and is extremely destructive. 】

[Note: According to the third rule of the blacksmith, the power of this ninja tool cannot act on the forger. 】

"Ding-deng-deng!"

There was a sound of footsteps.

Then, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter!"

A figure walked in.

Fire red hair.

A dark blue combat uniform.

Looks very capable.

Full of youthful and lively atmosphere.

"Miss Ming?"

"I met Director Uehara. Sorry, I'm late. When I received the order from Lord Mizukage, I was still on the mission."

Terumi Mei's name was not on the list.

This means that Terumi Mei came from behind and was arranged by Yagura.

Terumi Mei doesn't use fire escape very much, but she does possess fire attribute chakra.

In addition, the fire escape talent should be okay.

After all, Terumi Mei's Boiling Blood Sequence Kaikai is the fusion of water and fire.

Attributes that can form the limit of blood inheritance, single attribute talents, not too bad.

"It's okay, it's okay, they just left not long ago."

Osamu Uehara pointed to the Evil King Flame Killing Sword on the table.

"This is the new Zanpakutō I made. It's called the Evil King Flame Sword. You can just hold the hilt and input chakra."

Terumi Mei nodded.

[The appearance of a contractor who is suitable for the Evil King's Flame Killing Sword has been detected. (Feiying's recognition level: lower, attribute compatibility level: middle to upper) Overall compatibility level: qualified. Do you want to guide the contract? 】

Judging from the attributes, Terumi Mei can indeed bring out the ability of the Evil King's Flame Killing Sword.

But Feiying's recognition is a bit low.

This resulted in, taken together, only a qualified performance.

"Boss Uehara, does Evil King Flame Sword approve of me?"

Terumi Mei held the Evil King's Flame Killing Sword in her hand, which felt a little strange.

Holding this ninja sword in his hand, Terumi Mei felt that he was not holding any ninja sword.

It's like holding a living thing.

It's like having life.

Osamu Uehara shook his head.

"Unfortunately."

"All right."

Terumi Mei let go of her hand.

They are all qualified, Terumi Mei is a better choice than the ninja just now.

Because Terumi Mei is stronger and can better bring out the ability of the Evil King's Flame Killing Sword.

However, in Shu Uehara's view, compared to the Evil King Flame Sword, among the ninja swords he will build in the future, it is very likely that there will be one more suitable for Terumi Mei.

Terumi Mei left.

Osamu Uehara returned to the forging room with the Evil King Flame Killing Sword.

Just in time, Ao completed today's task of monitoring Yagura and returned to the Forging Island.

"Senior Qing, why don't you give it a try?"

Osamu Uehara feels that it is not completely impossible for Qingzhi to use the Evil King's Flame Killing Sword.

After all, there are similarities between Ao's transplanted white eye and Hiei's transplanted evil eye.

Qing hesitated and asked.

"Xiu, none of the people Mr. Mizukage arranged to come here were recognized by the Evil King's Flame Sword?"

"nothing."

"Then I'll try."

Ao took the Evil King Flame Killing Sword from Shu Uehara.

[The appearance of a contractor who is suitable for the Evil King's Flame Killing Sword has been detected. (Feiying's approval level: upper-middle, attribute compatibility: middle-lower) Overall compatibility: qualified. Do you want to guide the contract? 】

Uehara Osamu's heart moved.

"It's just qualified..."

"However, there may be no qualified candidates in the entire Kirigakure Village."

"Among the three qualified candidates, Senior Qing may still be the most suitable choice."

The first qualified ninja, Osamu Uehara felt that that ninja was not worthy of the Evil King's Flame Killing Sword.

The second is Terumi Mei. Osamu Uehara feels that there will be a more suitable choice for Terumi Mei.

As for Qing.

The compatibility with the Evil King's Flame Killing Sword is not very high.

However, he is definitely better able to bring out the ability of the Evil King's Flame Killing Sword than the first qualified ninja.

Moreover, Qingsui has been with Yuan Xiu for a long time.

Osamu Uehara knew that Ao longed to own a Zanpakutō.

"Just give it to Senior Qing."

"The qualified degree of contract can be upgraded to a good level through the blessing of yellow drawings."

"Even if it is, I'll give Senior Qing, who has been following me for a long time, a little encouragement."

Uehara Osamu thought silently in his mind.

"guide!"
