Capítulo 42: Chapter 42: It's Up to You, Soma!
"Soma, we probably can't help you much with this mission."
If it were a battle, Biwa Juzo would certainly be at the forefront.
But this time it's a forging mission.
This is a part that Biwa Juzo is completely unfamiliar with.
Uehara Soma nodded.
"Juzo-senpai, Kisame, please guard the entrance to prevent unrelated people from coming in and disturbing."
"Understood."
Biwa Juzo and Hoshigaki Kisame did not continue walking in, but stood guard at the entrance.
Uehara Soma approached the experimental platform.
On the nearby materials shelf, there were many biological and non-biological materials.
Dr. Stylish remained in his failed state of withdrawal, as if he hadn't noticed Uehara Soma.
After hesitating for a moment, Uehara Soma went to the materials shelf and began to select.
Since Dr. Stylish's ambition is to create equipment comparable to Teigu.
Then, Uehara Soma forging here, demonstrating to Dr. Stylish, is the best choice.
Dr. Stylish will definitely be attracted.
And something can be learned from Uehara Soma's forging.
Even without the bonus from Forging Island, Uehara Soma's Forging Technique, at best, is only of a good level, but Uehara Soma still has successful experience.
Kiriichimonji, Blue Rose Sword, both are works of Uehara Soma.
Uehara Soma's skills and experience are definitely stronger than Dr. Stylish's current ones.
Accompanied by the sound of metal striking.
Finally, a glimmer appeared in Dr. Stylish's eyes.
Dr. Stylish looked at Uehara Soma.
What Uehara Soma is doing now is forging an imitation of the Blue Rose Sword.
The materials are naturally not the same as those needed to forge the Blue Rose Sword.
Uehara Soma just randomly selected some similar ones.
Similar to the simulated forging done before the formal forging of the Blue Rose Sword.
As Uehara Soma's forging progressed, Dr. Stylish's attention to Uehara Soma's actions became more focused.
Dr. Stylish's eyes gradually lit up.
Just at that moment.
Outside, there was suddenly the sound of footsteps.
But it seemed to be not from the people in the laboratory.
Some guards rushed out from the building beside the laboratory to confront the outsiders.
A battle erupted instantly.
Biwa Juzo's expression became serious as he glanced back.
"Kisame, Soma probably needs some more time over there. It's up to us next."
"I'll take the front, you take the side."
Biwa Juzo made the battle assignment.
Hoshigaki Kisame nodded.
"Yes, Juzo-senpai."
Soon, the guards of the laboratory were defeated.
Figures fell one after another, becoming lifeless bodies on the ground.
The attackers rushed toward the laboratory.
Biwa Juzo concealed himself at the entrance, swiftly forming hand seals.
"Water Release, Exploding Water Colliding Wave Jutsu!"
A large amount of water appeared out of thin air, rushing towards the attackers, immediately engulfing all the attackers at the entrance.
The attackers were startled.
But soon they realized that Biwa Juzo's attack was just intimidating with its volume of water.
There wasn't much actual attacking power.
Just as the attackers relaxed.
Biwa Juzo drew the Blue Rose Sword.
"Bloom, Blue Rose!"
A surge of frosty power burst forth.
In an instant, all the surrounding water froze, turning into ice blocks.
The attackers, who previously didn't care about the water, were suddenly trapped in ice.
This was a usage of the Blue Rose Sword that Biwa Juzo had researched.
Directly creating ice with the Blue Rose Sword would consume more chakra.
But by first using Water Release, then using the Blue Rose Sword to freeze the water created by Water Release, the chakra consumption would be much less, saving chakra, which meant enhanced combat capability for subsequent battles.
"So this is the ability of the Blue Rose Sword."
"Freezing!"
"It's powerful!"
"The second Ninjato forged by Soma is no less than the Hidden Mist Seven Ninja Swords."
"No, it's even stronger than the Hidden Mist Seven Ninja Swords."
"Otherwise, Juzo-senpai wouldn't have given up the Executioner's Blade."
"It's somewhat similar to the Thunder Swords."
"But freezing is something only a Kekkei Genkai can do."
"It's like having a Kekkei Genkai out of thin air."
Hoshigaki Kisame withdrew his gaze and looked at his Kiriichimonji.
"But Kiriichimonji is also very good."
"It's not worse than the Blue Rose Sword."
"And it's more suitable for me."
An attacker bypassed Biwa Juzo's attack range and headed towards the laboratory entrance. Hoshigaki Kisame didn't hesitate and immediately went to intercept.
"Water Release: Hiding In Mist Jutsu!"
A burst of Water Mist suddenly appeared.
Hoshigaki Kisame took advantage of the Water Mist's cover to approach the attackers.
"Slash!"
A successful strike, then an immediate retreat.
Blood flowed incessantly from the attacker's wounds.
Hoshigaki Kisame circled around to the other side of the attacker.
"Slash!"
Another slash.
With two wounds bleeding profusely, the attacker's condition deteriorated to the extreme. They tried to locate Hoshigaki Kisame, but the Water Mist obscured their vision, making it impossible to capture him.
"Water Release: Water Prison Jutsu!"
Facing the attacker who had lost their countermeasures, Hoshigaki Kisame trapped them with a Water Prison Jutsu.
Then, he thrust Kiriichimonji into the vital area of the attacker.
Withdraw.
"Bang!"
The attacker fell to the ground.
Biwa Juzo knocked down one attacker, but his brow furrowed nonetheless.
"Kisame, these attackers may not be individually strong, but their numbers are increasing, and they're wielding all sorts of strange weapons. We can't keep this up."
"Otherwise, once our chakra is nearly depleted, they'll wear us down."
Hoshigaki Kisame nodded.
Hoshigaki Kisame could use the Chakra Absorption Technique, but against these people who have no chakra, it's useless.
In a sense, these people are a restraint to Hoshigaki Kisame.
"Even a strong individual like the Third Raikage would be killed under the swarm tactics of the Hidden Rock Village."
"We need to employ more efficient methods of killing."
Biwa Juzo glanced back and said.
"We must buy enough time for Soma."
Hoshigaki Kisame hesitated for a moment.
"Juzo-senpai, how about the two of us simultaneously use large-scale Water Release Ninjutsu, and then you use the Blue Rose Sword's ability to freeze the attackers?"
"I'll engage in close combat, using Kiriichimonji to attack them."
"With Kiriichimonji's special ability."
"If it hits, even if I don't strike their vital points, as long as enough blood is shed, their condition will be greatly compromised, making it easier to kill them."
Biwa Juzo pondered for a moment.
"Alright."
At the next moment, both of them formed seals simultaneously.
"Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave Jutsu!"
"Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave Jutsu!"
Not far away, a middle-aged man, watching the situation in the laboratory, had a dark expression on his face.
