Behind the Scenes from Naruto

Chapter 44 - 44: A Person Whose Strength Does Not Match His Ambition

What Mangetsu's dissatisfy most is that Suigetsu aims to surpass Zabuza.

Mangetsu believes that as long as Suigetsu inherits a Ninja sword, his strength should be able to surpass Zabuza.

His brother's goal is simply an embarrassment.

Although this is the truth, it's a bit inappropriate to say it on this occasion.

Because the other party who's Mangetsu talking about is still here.

Zabuza who currently uses Kirigakure no Jutsu (Hiding in the fog) to entangle Kisame after hearing the words of Mangetsu finally couldn't help saying: "Oi Mangetsu, what do you mean on your word?"

"Caught you!"

Before Mangetsu responded, the corners of Kisame's mouth grinned and the handle of Samehada in his hand stretched flew to a position in the fog: "Samehada Furainguch?nkatto!" (Samehada Flying chain cut)

"Asshole!"

Zabuza doesn't have Kubikiribocho in his hand. He could only be pushed out of the fog by Samehada and fell to the ground embarrassedly!

There's a hint of embarrassment in the air.

Mangetsu watched this scene helplessly, he spread his hand, and said: "Sorry, I don't intend to offend Zabuza-senpai but your strength is indeed a bit weak."

"..."

Zabuza gave him a vicious look and then looked at Kubikiribocho with only the hilt left on the ground. He said coldly: "It's because you kid borrows my Kubikiribocho!"

Mangetsu retorted: "Even if Zabuza-senpai has Kubikiribocho the chance of defeating Kisame-senpai will not exceed 30%, right?"

"Asshole!"

"I'm just explaining facts."

"Little devil, do you think I can't kill you!"

"Even if I don't have Hiramekarei the chances of senpai defeating me is very low!"

With a few words, the fragile alliance and friendship between Hozuki Mangetsu and Momochi Zabuza broke and the two quarreled impatiently.

"Stop fighting!"

Uehara interrupted them and looked at everyone present. His eyes stopped on Mangetsi and Zabuza: "You two already lost, you choose to join Akatsuki with me or I will bury your bodies in your hometown..."

The people present all knew that Zabuza and Mangetsu have no right to choose. The only thing they could choose is to surrender decently.

Zabuza wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth and snorted coldly: "My purpose is to kill Yagura and end the bloody mist. Now that the purpose has been achieved I will follow you to the organization called Akatsuki!"

Mangetsu is not like Zabuza he directly put forward his request: "If your Excellency can do what you said and let Suigetsu be able to revitalize the Hozuki clan, no matter what you ask me to do, I will do it for you!"

"...Yes."

Uehara's smile at the corners of his mouth could hardly be restrained he just opened his mouth and said: "If your brother is the kind of waste that can't be helped..."

"Suigetsu's talent is better than mine."

Mangetsu confidently promised: "As long as he has a guide, Suigetsu will surpass the past ancestors and become the strongest ninja among the Hozuki clan!"

It's okay not to say this.

When he said it, Uehara felt a little confused.

Because Uehara knew that there was no strong bloodline in the Hozuki clan, the Ninja world was precisely a world that valued bloodline...except Konoha's Noble Green beast.

Uehara sighed, he looks at Mangetsu and said: "Then try my method first, and the rest depends on fate... At least you can set a more ambitious goal for your brother and let him desperately catch up to you!"

"…I know."

Mangetsu's teeth clenched as if he made up his mind.

His younger brother Hozuki Suigetsu is eight years old this year. He performed well in the Ninja School in Kirigakure and can even apply for early graduation.

Mangetsu has always been very worried. If Suigetsu can't be guided properly, it will not be a surprise that he will follow a crooked road like Zabuza.

He can't say this now, otherwise, I'm afraid it will kill someone.

Uehara sat on a tree trunk: "Since you have sincerely surrendered to me, then I will accept it with compassion!"

Hearing Uehara's words, Zabuza and Mangetsu's faces darken visibly to the naked eye. This guy is so strong to the point of terrifying... his IQ is also terrifyingly..... low!

At this moment, Uehara's face darkens, he glanced at Mangetsu with some helplessness because he received the worst reward ever.

[Side Quest: Defeat Hozuki Mangetsu (1/1), the reward is 100 gold coins.]

Hozuki Mangetsu is a powerful ninja. Uehara thinks that it is even more difficult for others to defeat Mangetsu than Fourth Mizukage!

Perhaps because Mangetsu died young, there were too few scenes in the anime and many people did not pay attention to him. So the system directly issued the minimum mission reward.

Is this too little?

But the harvest of defeating Mangetsu is not only a hundred gold coins, because Uehara saw the completion of his other mission.

[Side Quest: Defeat the Seven Ninja Swordsmen (6/7), the reward is unknown.]

Uehara did not expect that the mission of defeating the Seven Ninja Swordsmen on the system panel directly counted four heads just because Mangetsu hold the other four ninja swords.

The last Seven Ninja Swordsmen that need to be defeated in this side mission should be Kurosuki Raiga that Kisame mention. The first generation of Seven Ninja Swordsmen defected with Kiba.

When Uehara saw another mission, his eyelids trembled and his expression was a bit unsightly.

[Side mission: Have three subordinates (2/3), the reward is unknown.]

Now the three Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Hidden Mist are nominally Uehara's subordinates. Kisame is the first ninja who chooses to be loyal to him, so what about the second?

Uehara is not particularly concerned about who the second subordinate who sincerely surrendered to him. What he cares about is who is the one who refuses to sincerely surrender...

But, this is easy to find.

Because Uehara saw the last side mission completion.

[Side mission: Get two subordinates with Kage-level chakra powers. The mission is completed. The reward is 1000 gold coins.]

This mission directly proved that the second person who chose to seek refuge to Uehara is a ninja with a Kage-level chakra.

Do we still need to think?

Who is the weakest here?

Uehara's gaze swept across Mangetsu and he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart. As expected, he is someone even Kisame can't see through...

At the age of thirteen, he is already at Kage-level power!

No wonder he died so early because when he was alive he must be too arrogant!

Uehara's gaze slowly stopped at Zabuza's body. This man has always had his ambitions.

He also has a strength that does not match his ambition.

Uehara tilted his head and looked at Zabuza. Now, should he take him back or just dig a hole and bury him on the spot?
