Chapter 59: The Power of Blue Rose

Biwa Juzo despises those who want to betray the village deeply.

Especially when it's for the benefit of Konoha.

Biwa Juzo will never forget the failure of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Biwa Juzo looked coldly at Kaguya Tai across from him.

"Bloom, Blue Rose!"

A surge of powerful chakra poured into the Blue Rose Sword.

The ground turned to ice.

Ice pillars appeared around them.

Rose vines appeared one after another, entwining towards Kaguya Tai.

Kaguya Tai quickly dodged, a hint of dread on his face.

"Biwa Juzo!"

"So, this is the second ninjato forged by the blacksmith of Forging Island that's been talked about?"

"It's indeed impressive!"

"No wonder the Mizukage would rather give us Thunder Swords rather than this ninjato."

But at the same time, greed flickered in Kaguya Tai's eyes.

"But with such a ninjato, Biwa Juzo, what qualifications do you have to use it?"

"Just a defeated dog in the hands of a Konoha genin."

"The face of the Hidden Mist Village, you've disgraced it all."

"You can't handle this ninjato, let me use it instead."

Biwa Juzo's appearance instantly reversed the situation on the scene.

Kaguya Tai's strength is not on par with Biwa Juzo's.

Moreover, Biwa Juzo still possesses the Blue Rose Sword.

However, faced with this situation, Kaguya Tai didn't fear or calmly consider what would be the best choice for himself. Instead, he became even more reckless.

That's the Kaguya Clan for you.

"Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave Jutsu!"

Biwa Juzo gritted his teeth.

Unlike Kaguya Tai, even if Biwa Juzo was enraged, he still maintained a certain level of calmness.

Biwa Juzo wanted to capture Kaguya Tai and bring him before the Third Mizukage.

However, capturing Kaguya Tai amidst his madness is difficult for Biwa Juzo.

"These Kaguya Clan members are like mad dogs."

"In that case, I have no choice but to go all out."

"Otherwise, Mayuko-senpai will definitely be in danger."

A large amount of water surged out, engulfing the surroundings and spreading across the nearby area.

Kaguya Tai didn't care, concentrating chakra on his feet and rushing fiercely toward where Biwa Juzo was.

"Biwa Juzo, meet your end!"

Biwa Juzo frowned as he watched Kaguya Tai charging towards him.

"You brought this upon yourself!"

"Blue Rose Ice Release, ten long spears!"

The next moment, ten giant ice spears appeared around Kaguya Tai.

They moved faster than Kaguya Tai, aiming to strike him.

!

Kaguya Tai's eyes flickered, intending to dodge.

However, at that moment, Kaguya Tai suddenly found himself unable to move.

Lowering his head, Kaguya Tai saw that the water beneath his feet had silently turned into ice.

He could break free, but it would take time.

And right now, time was what he lacked.

Unable to dodge, facing Biwa Juzo's Ice Spears, Kaguya Tai could only withstand them head-on.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

...

One, two, three...

"Pfft!"

But Kaguya Tai couldn't block them all.

An Ice Spear pierced through Kaguya Tai's back, emerging from his abdomen, blood flowing along the ice spear and dripping.

Biwa Juzo stepped forward, the tip of the Blue Rose Sword aimed directly at Kaguya Tai's throat.

"Surrender now!"

Kaguya Tai looked up, glaring angrily at Biwa Juzo.

Suddenly.

"Ahhh!"

"I won't lose to a coward relying on a ninjato like you!"

Kaguya Tai roared furiously, his eyes turning red. He forcefully pulled his body out from the Ice Spears and viciously charged towards Biwa Juzo.

Biwa Juzo's pupils contracted.

He hadn't expected Kaguya Tai to still be this crazy even in such a situation.

"Pfft!"

Instinctively, a sword thrust pierced Kaguya Tai's throat.

A large amount of blood gushed from Kaguya Tai's throat.

Kaguya Tai lost strength, his life force draining rapidly, unable to maintain balance.

"Thud!"

His entire body weakly crashed onto the ice.

Biwa Juzo's frown deepened.

"Mayuko-senpai, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Juzo. Thank you. If it weren't for you coming in time, I might have been killed by him."

Biwa Juzo hesitated for a moment.

"Mayuko-senpai, I must report this to Mizukage-sama. It's not safe here. Why don't you come with me to the Mizukage's Building? I don't know if there are others left."

"Okay."

The three of them swiftly headed towards the Mizukage's Building.

Biwa Juzo carried Kaguya Tai's body.

A young girl followed behind Mayuko Ringo, her granddaughter.

Mizukage's Building.

"What?"

Third Mizukage looked at Kaguya Tai's body on the ground, his expression grim.

"These Kaguya Clan members actually attacked people from our village for the sake of the Hyuga Clan, for the sake of Konoha?"

"Outrageous!"

"Utterly outrageous!"

"Do they still have the village in their hearts?"

"Do they still have me, the Mizukage?"

Third Mizukage was furious.

Indeed, Kaguya Tai's actions were unforgivable in the eyes of Third Mizukage.

No one with a sane mind could possibly do such things.

But they were members of the Kaguya Clan, known for their madness.

Earlier, Kaguya Neko reported to Third Mizukage about the activities of the Kaguya Clan.

And it was Biwa Juzo and Mayuko Ringo who brought this matter to light.

Otherwise, Third Mizukage wouldn't have believed it.

"Juzo, you go back to Forging Island."

"Mayuko, stay with Ameyuri in the Mizukage's Building for now."

Biwa Juzo left the Mizukage's Office.

"Yes, Mizukage-sama."

While leaving, Juzo remembered the matter of the scalpels.

He turned back again.

"Mayuko-senpai, this is for you."

"What's this?"

Biwa Juzo said, "These are scalpels crafted by Soma. Soma mentioned that with the impact of shinobi tools from the Land of Iron, it's no longer meaningful for Forging Island to produce ordinary shinobi tools. Therefore, he wants to shift to other aspects."

"And scalpels are one aspect that the Land of Iron has not yet ventured into."

"These scalpels were personally crafted by Soma. He asked me to give themto Mayuko-senpai to see if they are good and where Soma could improve them"

Mayuko Ringo took it and opened the box.

The next moment, her eyes lit up with surprise.

For a medical ninja, a good set of scalpels is invaluable, making surgeries much easier.

And just by looking at this set of scalpels, Mayuko Ringo could sense its high quality.

As soon as she held one, Mayuko Ringo could feel the smoothness of this set of scalpels, unparalleled to any she had used before.

"Is this the work of the Great Blacksmith?"

Mayuko Ringo really liked it.

"Juzo, please thank Soma for me."

...

Forging Island.

Uehara Soma looked at the semi-transparent screen in front of him. The numbers after the "reputation" column on the screen kept changing under his gaze... 812, 856, 901, 955, 1003.

In a very short time, it changed four times in a row.

Directly reaching over 1000.

"It finally reached 1000!"

Uehara Soma smiled.
