Kapitel 54: Chapter 54: Byakugan VS Uchiha Madara's Genjutsu!
"Forging Technique?"
Uehara Soma nodded and said,
"My former sensei once told me that Ninjato, like humans, has a life, so when I forge, I treat the Ninjato as a life."
"While operating on Ao-senpai, I did indeed find similarities."
"I acted on my own discretion, please forgive me, Ao-senpai."
After hearing Uehara Soma's words, Biwa Juzo subconsciously looked at the Blue Rose Sword strapped to his waist.
"No, no."
Ao hurriedly shook his head.
"If it weren't for you performing the surgery on me, I would probably have died long ago, and you, Soma, are kind-hearted, and the result is good. I'm happy beyond words."
Then Ao quickly changed the subject.
" I heard that a new Ninjato has appeared in the village named Kiriichimonji, also known as the Unhealable Blade."
"What's the connection between the blacksmith who forged that Ninjato and you, Soma?"
Uehara Soma smiled.
"Kiriichimonji is precisely what I forged."
Given Ao's current condition, Uehara Soma had nothing to hide about this.
"You?"
Ao's pupils contracted.
"Ao-senpai doesn't believe?"
"It's not that I don't believe, it's just that you're too young, Soma."
Ao said, "I thought that the blacksmith who could forge such a Ninjato would be older, but I didn't expect you to have such remarkable Forging Technique at such a young age."
"I should have realized earlier."
"My injuries, even the medical Ninjas from the medical department couldn't perform surgery. they needed you to step in."
"As a blacksmith, your Forging Technique must be the best on Forging Island."
Saying this, Ao looked at Biwa Juzo again.
"Juzo, what's your position on Forging Island?"
Ao's age wasn't much different from Biwa Juzo's, so they addressed each other as peers.
"I am currently the guardian of Forging Island, solely responsible for Soma's security."
Ao nodded.
"With Soma's situation, the village indeed needs proper protection. By the way, Juzo, what about your Executioner's Blade? Did Mizukage-sama take it back because of that incident?"
The incident Ao referred to was the tragic defeat of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist against Might Duy.
"No, I voluntarily returned it to Mizukage-sama."
Biwa Juzo said lightly, "Because I already have a Ninjato more suitable for me, also forged by Soma. This Blue Rose Sword. The Executioner's Blade, is no longer needed for me."
With his Byakugan, Ao had long recognized the excellence of the Blue Rose Sword.
But he didn't expect that this Ninjato was also crafted by Uehara Soma.
One sword could be luck.
But two swords, that was truly skill.
As members of the Hidden Mist Village, Ao looked at Uehara Soma, feeling a surge of excitement in his heart.
"The Hidden Mist Village has produced another Great Blacksmith. This is truly fantastic!"
For the Hidden Mist Village, the more Ninjatos, the stronger the village's power naturally becomes.
Moreover, Ao's heart also harbored some expectations that he could obtain a Ninjato suitable for himself.
Ao wasn't so concerned about the previous Hidden Mist Seven Ninja Swords.
Because Ao felt they didn't quite suit him.
But now, the situation was different.
Perhaps the Ninjato Uehara Soma would forge in the future would be suitable for him?
Perhaps it would perfectly complement his abilities?
Ao hesitated for a moment.
"Soma, you helped me with the surgery, which is equivalent to saving my life and doing me a great favor. Is there anything I can help you with? Feel free to ask."
"There is indeed something I need your help with, Ao-senpai."
"What is it?"
"I heard that the Byakugan can see through all Genjutsu. Could you please carefully examine Forging Island and see if there are any traces of Genjutsu on me?"
Uehara Soma said, "I heard that the Uchiha's Genjutsu is undetectable. Konoha might take action now that they know about Kiriichimonji."
"It's unlikely that someone from the Uchiha clan could infiltrate Forging Island. This area is the central rear area of our village."
Despite Ao's words, he still nodded.
"I'll give it a try."
Naturally, this wasn't Uehara Soma's main objective.
It's just that the Third Mizukage happens to be on Forging Island right now.
Let Ao, who possesses the Byakugan, conduct a thorough scan.
Naturally, it would also include the Third Mizukage.
"Byakugan!"
Ao concentrated his chakra into his right eye.
The next moment, Ao's right eye changed. The blood vessels around the eye sockets swelled, giving a ferocious appearance.
"Far sight!"
"Perspective!"
Ao let his vision sweep around himself as the center.
Uehara Soma.
Biwa Juzo.
Arafuni.
Third Mizukage.
ANBU Ninja.
Kaguya Neko.
...
As well as the animals living on Forging Island.
"Hiss!"
A wave of intense pain surged up, and Ao quickly cancelled the Byakugan state.
Using the Byakugan in his current physical condition was quite taxing for Ao.
"Ao-senpai, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Ao shook his head.
"Just feeling a bit off. Using the Byakugan consumes quite a bit of energy, especially since I'm not very skilled with it yet. I've checked the surroundings, and everything seems fine."
"You, Juzo, the person outside, and even further away, Mizukage-sama, all show no traces of Genjutsu."
Uehara Soma smiled.
"It's good that there's nothing wrong. I can relax now. Thank you, Ao-senpai."
However, Uehara Soma still had doubts about whether the Third Mizukage was under Genjutsu.
Because, according to the timing, he should have been.
However, Ao hadn't seen any traces of Genjutsu on the Third Mizukage.
Uehara Soma's eyes flickered.
Just because Ao hadn't seen any traces of Genjutsu on the Third Mizukage didn't necessarily mean that the Third Mizukage hadn't been affected by Genjutsu.
There was another possibility: the Third Mizukage could be under Genjutsu, but Ao couldn't detect it.
This was quite possible.
After all, Ao had only just gained the Byakugan, and he wasn't originally from the Hyuga Clan.
Moreover, if the Third Mizukage was indeed under Genjutsu, it would be Uchiha Madara's Genjutsu.
Could an ordinary, unskilled Byakugan see through Uchiha Madara's Genjutsu?
If they can't see it, then trying to unravel Uchiha Madara's plot against the Hidden Mist Village by seeing through the Genjutsu on the Third Mizukage won't work.
"Mizukage-sama, Masui Senpai has been captured by them and detained."
Kaguya Neko said.
"What? Why?"
The Third Mizukage's pupils contracted.
"The Hyuga Clan sent someone over to the Kaguya Clan to help investigate the situation regarding the lost Byakugan."
"The Hyuga Clan from Konoha actually asked our Kaguya Clan from the Hidden Mist Village to investigate?"
The Third Mizukage frowned deeply.
"Did your Kaguya Clan agree?"
Kaguya Neko nodded, then shook his head.
"Some agreed, some disagreed. Later, the Clan Head made the final decision. We agreed on the surface to the Hyuga Clan's request, but in reality, we didn't take any related actions."
"Later, we'll reply to the Hyuga Clan that our Kaguya Clan has done our best."
