Naruto Megatron

Chapter 55 The Final Tempering
As time passed, the game was about to start, and all the contestants were already in place. Sasuke felt a lot of eyes staring at him. He scanned the entire arena, and several people were watching here , Sasuke felt very strange, and then asked Tianwu Shenzang.

"Those people are from aristocratic families, and they brought the most helpers, and there are ninjas, probably fire ninjas, they are here to see our strength, after all, I am here with you this year Yes. Since you stopped their samurai from attacking me last time, I guess they are re-evaluating my strength, but you are too young, they will definitely not overestimate your strength." Tianwu Shenzang said .

"It's interesting, a competition of skills has made them pay so much attention to it. It seems that the title of master forging is really useful in the Iron Country." Sasuke said with a smile.

"Indeed, the iron country regards blacksmiths as strategic reserves. Once a war breaks out, the country will give all blacksmiths sufficient resources, and then these blacksmiths will use their full strength to manufacture weapons and armor. Their speed is extraordinary. Blacksmiths are comparable. This is also an assessment item in the competition. Generally speaking, it takes a long time for a blacksmith to create a weapon. This is something that needs to be done with heart. However, only three days were given in the competition , this requires speed, especially the speed of hammering, which is the part that most tests the skill of the forging master, so the four-year competition is so attractive to watch, and at the same time, the honor of the forging master is not available to everyone " Tian Wu Shen hid his longing face, starting today he will work hard for his own dream, for his father's dream.

During the few days when Sasuke and Tianwu Shenzang got along, Sasuke knew that Tianwu Shenzang's father was once only one step away from the blacksmith master, but he never got past this step, and was assassinated at the last moment Under the influence of his father since he was a child, Tianwu Shenzang also never forgot the title of master blacksmith, otherwise he might be able to live a prosperous life with his current technology.

While the two were chatting, Mifune, the leader of the samurai group, appeared in the examination room. He will preside over the entire competition, and he will also conduct the final review. This is the tradition of the Iron Country. After all, those forging masters have already They have become a famous family in the Iron Country, and their evaluation cannot be completely fair, so there is a project where the samurai swords are raised, and at the same time, Mifune will make the final judgment.

Mifune is not an easy character. As a samurai, he can be on an equal footing with the shadows of the five major ninja villages. In his early years, he also tried to compete with the "half god" Sanshoyu Hanzo. Although he lost, the loss was not embarrassing. Konoha in his early years Sannin also lost in the hands of Hanzou, and was also called Sannin. In the final battle, Mifune defeated Hanzou and rectified his name.

"This year's forging masters promotion competition is still hosted by me. I hope that there will be new masters this year. Any foul behavior is strictly prohibited in the competition. Some people were restless before this year's competition. I hope that similar things will not happen again, otherwise I will It's not like Mifune's knives can't kill people, well, now the competition officially begins." Mifune's opening remarks were very simple, but they were murderous, probably because of the Tianwu Shenzang incident that angered him.

Every new forging master will bring some benefits to the Iron Kingdom, whether it is taxation, popularity, or strategic talent pool, so Mifune is very disgusted with the behavior of those families, but he can't just open it up. Killing ring, after all, these forging families also have forging masters, but this does not mean that he can tolerate it infinitely, so he gave a warning at the beginning, and the three-day competition is not short.

After the three boats announced the start, all the contestants and their assistants began to get busy. Each blacksmith can bring three assistants. Basically, those blacksmiths with financial strength will bring a fire-type ninja and an assistant. A blacksmith and a coolie.These people are useful. The fire ninjas use ninjutsu to increase the temperature. The coolie is mainly to pull the bellows. This cannot be stopped. The auxiliary blacksmith can help with some simple things, so that the participants can be guaranteed as much as possible. Have enough physical strength and energy to complete the last key parts.

Tianwu Shenzang first put the prepared charcoal into the furnace pit under the stove, then put the soft iron into the furnace, then looked at Sasuke, Sasuke didn't say anything, and directly used the shadow clone technique , two shadow clones appeared. "Please." Said Sasuke's body. "No problem." After answering, the two shadow clones started working. "Fire escape! The art of igniting fire!" This is a D-level fire ninjutsu, and it is also the most basic. All ninjas above the lower level will use it. It is basically used to make fire in the wild. With a sound of "huh", the charcoal in the furnace pit was ignited, and another shadow clone started to pull the bellows. The fire surged instantly due to the wind, and the temperature inside the furnace suddenly increased.

The movement here has attracted Mifune's attention. He knows about Tianwu Shenzang and invented a new forging technique, but he failed last time. He didn't expect him to be able to find a ninja this time.Mifune has a capable assistant under his command. His daughter is Miko, the girl who is dating Tenwu Kanzo. The samurai cares most about his sword and reputation. Although he really wants his daughter to be happy, but Tenwu Kanzo Wealth has no reputation, so he has not agreed, but he has refused to other suitors. This is to give Tianwu Shenzang a chance, and Mifune also learned about Tianwu Shenzang from them.

Tianwu Shenzang wants to marry the daughter of a famous samurai. One can imagine the difficulties in this world, but if he becomes a blacksmith master, then all difficulties will be gone. If you have no money, the woman will post back Yes, this is the benefit of the title of blacksmith master.

"Kinzo, at what level should the temperature be maintained?" Sasuke asked. "As long as it stays the highest all the time, I want to get the purest soft iron." Tianwu Shenzang replied.

"Isn't that too soft? Didn't you say you want its toughness?" Sasuke asked curiously.

"This depends on the subsequent forging. I will continue to fold and hammer the soft iron. Although it is exaggerated to practice thousands of times, there are still dozens or hundreds of times. In this way, we can finally get a knife with full toughness. .” Sasuke said that after understanding, he stopped talking, but sat down cross-legged, recovering the chakra consumed by the shadow clone.He can't be of much help with forging, so instead of watching there, it's better to start practicing. After all, he has to maintain his best condition for three days, so that he can test the knife with other people's representatives on the fourth day.
