Chapter 80 Biwa Juzo: Leave Ye Cang to Me!
Uehara Shu nodded. Ye Yan
"That's right."
"Senior Juzo, it's like this, my forging skills have reached a bottleneck, and if I want to improve, I must learn new forging methods."
"This requires the use of fire-attribute chakra, so I have to learn some fire escape techniques."
Biwa Juzo showed a look of realization.
"I see."
But then he frowned again.
"As for Fire Style, very few of us Kirigakure ninjas know it, and there are even fewer who are good at it."
"After all, we are in the Land of Water."
"The environment here is not suitable for Fire Style ninjas."
"So there are not many people who can study Fire Style."
"Those who are good at Fire Style are mainly Konoha ninjas."
"For example, Uchiha and Sarutobi."
"But our Kirigakure is now in a hostile relationship with Konoha."
"It may not be easy to obtain Fire Style from Konoha."
"Even other small ninja villages will not hand over their ninjutsu."
"But in our Kirigakure, as far as I know, there is indeed no one who can teach Fire Style well."
"If you really need it, I have thought of a candidate."
Uehara Shu asked.
"Who?"
"A rebel ninja from Takigakure."
Biwa Juzo said: "A rebel ninja from Takigakure named Kakuzu became a wandering ninja after leaving Takigakure, and has been entrenched in the territory of Kawanokuni for many years."
"This person does not belong to any force, and is particularly obsessed with money."
"In other words, as long as he is paid, he will agree to do anything."
"And Takigakure has a heritage of fire escape ninjutsu."
"This person has also used fire escape."
The name Biwa Juzo said surprised Uehara Osamu.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Uehara Osamu felt that it was not impossible.
The Iwagakure Village can hire the Akatsuki organization to work.
What's more, at this point in time, Kakuzu has not joined the Akatsuki organization.
He is just a simple wandering ninja.
Just like Biwa Juzo said, just give money.
As for the issue of safety, Uehara Osamu is not worried.
The teaching location is fixed in the Hidden Mist Village or near the Hidden Mist Village.
As long as Kakuzu is not mentally ill and can't think straight, he will never attack Uehara Osamu.
In the case that the teaching is not completed, Uehara Osamu will definitely not pay all the money.
It would be too stupid to attack Uehara Osamu without getting the money.
And Kakuzu has no reason to attack Uehara Osamu.
Compared with those in the Hidden Mist Village who may only know one or two fire escape ninjutsu and can't even use them well, Kakuzu is undoubtedly a much better choice.
After all, Kakuzu's strength and experience are here.
An existence that survived the first generation of Hokage.
Relying on the Earth Grudge Technique, he achieved an alternative longevity.
For ninjutsu of various attributes, he has dabbled.
"Senior Juzo, how can we contact this ninja?"
"I'll go there."
Biwa Juzo said: "Xiu, your overall strength has reached the level of a special jonin, and there are Aozai and Anbu ninjas here, so your safety is no longer a problem."
"In addition, I heard that a team of Sand Village ninjas from Konoha appeared in the Land of Fire to support them."
"The leader is named Ye Cang."
"Possessing a special Burning Style Bloodline Genkai."
"She is very restrained against the water ninjas from our Kirigakure."
"She killed many of us."
"I'll go meet her by the way."
The Land of Rivers is between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind.
With the addition of the Sand Village ninjas, the Kirigakure ninjas' battle line was stretched.
A part of it has already approached the range of the Land of Rivers.
Konoha is located in the center of the Land of Fire.
Now the battle line of the Kirigakure extends from the southeast of the Land of Fire to the southwest.
So if Biwa Juzo goes to the Land of Rivers, it will be on the way.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Senior Juzo."
"You're welcome."
Biwa Juzo smiled.
"It just so happens that I can verify the results of my training after I got the Blue Rose Sword."
"I've been away from the battlefield for so long. I have to say that I didn't really like war when I was on the battlefield, but after being away for so long, I actually miss it a little bit."
In his heart, Biwa Juzo silently added a sentence.
"I don't know if I can meet that person this time."
"If I can..."
Biwa Juzo went directly to the Mizukage Building in the afternoon.
"Mizukage-sama."
Biwa Juzo stated his purpose.
The Third Mizukage hesitated for a while.
"Juzo, are you sure that Xiu has the strength of a special jonin?"
"Yes."
Biwa Juzo said: "Xiu's basic attributes have completely reached this level, and Xiu's talent in water escape is still above mine, so he will only be stronger than a special jonin, not weaker."
The Third Mizukage nodded.
"If that's the case, Forge Island doesn't really need you, Juzo."
"And the Fire Country battlefield is really giving me a headache right now."
"That Yagura's bloodline limit is too restrained against water-style ninjas."
"Yagura can't get away to go there."
"In this short period of time, dozens of ninjas from our Kirigakure have died at the hands of Ye Cang."
"Juzo, are you sure?"
Biwa Juzo glanced at the Blue Rose Sword on his waist.
"Lord Mizukage, I will never let you down. I will definitely defeat Ye Cang."
"Okay."
After Biwa Juzo came out of the Mizukage building, he went back to the Forge Island.
On the one hand, it was a farewell.
On the other hand, it was to make the next training plan for Ringo Yuyuri.
Uehara Osamu watched Biwa Juzo's back as he left.
"If Senior Juzo goes to the battlefield, he will definitely use the Blue Rose Sword."
"In other words, my reputation will usher in another wave of growth."
"Maybe before Senior Juzo returns, my reputation can be raised to more than 1,000 points again?"
"In this case, I can actually do a 10-draw sequence first."
"High-level blueprints have a chance to draw better ninja tools."
"However, better ninja tools may require higher forging technology."
"Just like the Skeleton King."
"Therefore, I am now There is no need to wait until 2000 reputation points before making 20 consecutive draws. "
"Instead, you can make 10 consecutive draws first."
"Even if the ninja tools drawn are not so excellent, they are at least the level of the top three swords of the Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist, which are already very good ninja tools."
"It can bring strength improvement to the contractor."
"It can bring rewards to me."
"Wait until I master the chakra smelting technique and the breathing forging method, and then make 20 or even more consecutive draws to win higher-level drawings."
Return to the forging room.
"Chakra smelting technique must wait until I learn fire escape."
"Now, I can try the breathing forging method first."
"Integrate breathing into forging."
Uehara Shu took out the hammer and metal ingot.
Closed his eyes.
On the forging island, Uehara Shu had no experience to refer to.
Therefore, Uehara Shu thought of the scene of Tanjiro learning water breathing in Demon Slayer.
Uehara Shu felt that there might be something in common that could be used as a reference.
"The breathing method, created by Yuichi Tsugikoku, allows humans to have the ability to fight against demons."
"Adjust your breathing and inhale a large amount of oxygen in a short period of time."
"In this way, the blood will be activated."
"The body's instantaneous ability to move is improved to the extreme."
"Strength, speed, and explosive power are improved in all aspects."
"Water Breathing is one of the basic breathing methods derived from Sun Breathing."
"When practicing, keep your mind free of distractions and your heart as calm as water."
Uehara Shu stood still, not moving, letting his heartbeat and breathing stabilize.
Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale...
As a ninja, it is not difficult for Uehara Shu to achieve this level.
It didn't take long for him to adjust.
It's like a master who is learning the basic knowledge of another direction.
"The first move of water breathing is water surface slashing."
"That is, slash your blade like a smooth water surface."
"In this way, the traces left by the slash will also be like the water surface."
"The process of drawing the sword is actually a simulation process."
"Simulate the characteristics of water."
Uehara Osamu looked at the hammer in his hand.
"To simulate the water surface with a sword, one is stability, and the other is smoothness. However, I am using a hammer. How can the hammer simulate the water surface? Smoothly hammer it?"
Uehara Osamu swung the hammer in his hand.
"Ding!"
The metal ingot on the forging table was directly knocked away by Uehara Osamu.
"No, that's not right."
"The first move of water breathing is to simulate the water surface, but I don't have to follow it. The hammer certainly can't simulate the water surface. The compatibility is not compatible."
"And forging does not require cutting."
"The water surface is one of the characteristics of water."
"Water drops are also one of the characteristics of water."
Uehara Osamu thought of the picture of water drops falling.
"Tick!"
"Tick!"
"Tick!"
Then he raised the hammer.
When he just reached the limit of inhalation, the hammer fell.
"Dang!"
Uehara Osamu looked at the metal ingot in front of him, his eyes lit up.
"It seems a little different."
"The sound of forging and the changes in the metal ingot are a little different from the previous forging."
"And it's in the right direction."
"Does this prove that my idea is right?"
Uehara Osamu recalled the action just now and tried again.
"Dang!"
The same sound rang out.
"That's right, it's not my illusion, it's true, I'm going in the right direction."
"It's just that it's not mature enough."
"I need to observe."
"I need reference."
Uehara Osamu took a water cup from the side and poured the water cup on the table. Then the water flowed along the table and flowed to the edge of the table, and then dripped down and fell to the ground.
When it touched the ground, it shattered and turned into countless small water droplets, splashing around.
"Drop-shaped."
"The falling speed is getting faster and faster."
"And the touch is just a matter of a moment."
Uehara Osamu was observing the characteristics of the falling water drops.
At the same time, in his mind, he simulated the scene of the hammer falling.
"Interesting!"
Uehara Shu's observation was not limited to the water drops falling from the table, but also the water drops falling from the leaves, the water drops sliding down the grass, the water drops falling from the sky, and the water drops formed by the splashing sea water...
Uehara Shu was somewhat immersed in it.
It was different from learning ninjutsu and taijutsu.
Whether it was water escape or taijutsu, what Uehara Shu learned were already existing things created by others.
Uehara Shu just wanted to improve his strength and learn.
Now, Uehara Shu was creating.
Even if he borrowed from the experience of others, what he created was brand new.
Moreover, Uehara Shu felt that the improvement of forging technology would be more meaningful to him.
The better the forging technology, the better the ninja tools forged, and the better the rewards he received.
……
……
"Master Juzo."
A Mist Ninja came to Biwa Juzo.
"Why are you the only one here?"
"Replying to Master Juzo, the Eighth Squad ran into the ninjas from the Sand Village. We are stationed there, and the others went to support the Eighth Squad, leaving me alone."
Biwa Juzo frowned.
"Sand Village ninja? Lead the way."
"Yes, Master Juzo."
The Kirigakure ninja was somewhat delighted.
Even though this Kirigakure ninja did not know Biwa Juzo after his comprehensive strength evolved.
But, no matter what, Biwa Juzo is also one of the Seven Kirigakure.
Even before, he was defeated by Konoha's Genin.
He returned to the village with shame.
However, the strength of elite jonin does exist.
And on such a small-scale battlefield, an elite jonin can bring about a qualitative change.
The appearance of Ye Cang made the Kirigakure ninja suffer a lot.
Now the momentum has dropped a lot.
In addition, the affairs of the Taketori clan also affected the momentum of some Kirigakure ninjas.
Soon, the sound of fierce fighting entered the ears of the two.
"We're almost there!"
The voice of the Kirigakure Ninja had just fallen.
"Swish!"
A kunai flew towards the two.
Biwa Juzo drew his sword and knocked the kunai away.
"Ding!"
But it also stopped because of this.
A picture entered the sight of Biwa Juzo and the others.
Immediately, the eyes of the Kirigakure Ninja next to him turned red.
It was seen.
More than a dozen Kirigakure Ninjas had become corpses.
And more importantly, the corpses of several Kirigakure Ninjas were kneeling on the ground with their hands tied, and there was no head on their necks.
Not only were they killed, but they were killed in a very humiliating way.
Even the Sand Ninja collected the heads of these Kirigakure Ninjas and piled them into a wall.
A wooden stick was inserted straight in.
Like a candied haws.
Biwa Juzo's face darkened.
The Kirigakure and Konoha had been fighting for a long time, killing many people and being killed many people.
But this kind of thing has never happened before.
Biwa Juzo felt that it was a shame to lose to Might Guy, but he respected Might Guy's strength. What Biwa Juzo hated was that his strength was too weak.
But now, Biwa Juzo was extremely disgusted with the Sand Village ninja in front of him.
A Sand Village jonin seemed to recognize Biwa Juzo.
He said in a slightly sarcastic tone: "Isn't this Biwa Juzo, one of the famous Kirigakure Seven?"
