Chapter 201: Is Uehara-sama also an Undercover Spy?
Chapter 201: Is Uehara-sama also an Undercover Spy?
There were only four people in total among Kirigakure’s Seven Ninja Swordsmen, namely Kisame, Zabuza, Mangetsu, and Ringo.
Ringo happened to be the last person to become one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. The Kiba in her hand was also the last one Uehara needed to defeat.
Since he had gotten news of her here, Uehara naturally could not miss it. Besides wanting to complete the mission, he also wanted to rope Ringo into the Akatsuki organization.
Moreover, this was also a mutual benefit.
Apart from Uehara, there was probably no one else who could cure Ringo’s illness.
Under the lead of Kabuto, Uehara and Karin visited Orochimaru’s northern base. They did not stay for long and returned to Amegakure.
Originally, Uehara wanted to bring Jugo back, who was imprisoned in the northern base, but Kabuto still needed to replenish the natural energy in his body to increase the probability of him cultivating Sage mode, so he had to give up.
After returning to Amegakure.
Karin immediately rushed to the base of Akatsuki and conveyed the order of Uehara to Mangetsu as well as the matter of rescuing Suigetsu. After receiving the news of his younger brother, Mangetsu did not hesitate at all and rushed back to Kirigakure in a hurry.
It was a dark night.
Kirigakure was still shrouded in a fog.
Terumi sat in Mizukage’s office. After temporarily replacing Mizukage’s position, her schedule gradually became a little irregular.
Recently, Terumi had been a little upset.
Because not long ago, Mangetsu’s younger brother, Suigetsu, had left the village without permission for two months and was almost sent on the wanted list of traitors, she had to put in a lot of effort to settle this matter.
A few days ago, Suigetsu finally came back.
However, the first thing this little brat did when he came back infuriated Terumi. He actually asked her if she knew an old friend called Naraku or not!
This little brat was really getting harder and harder to discipline as he grew up!
Just as Terumi rubbed his temples with a headache, a string of water suddenly slipped in through the crack in the door of Mizukage’s office. It went against the current and appeared on Terumi’s desk. This precise operation was definitely not something that an ordinary water-released ninja could do!
To date,
Only Mangetsu would use this method to pass on the message.
Terumi looked down at the pool of water that gradually formed a thumb-sized human figure on the desk. This little water person said to Terumi, “Senpai, I learned about Suigetsu’s recent situation from Naraku-sama. I also learned that Ringo was seriously ill, so I especially rushed back to take her away for treatment. I will send her to a powerful medical ninja. When she recovers, I will let her come back.”
After this little water person finished speaking, he immediately turned into a ball of water. Obviously, the chakra within had been exhausted.
Just as Terumi finished listening and was about to rush to the Kiri Hospital, a shrill cry resounded throughout the entire Kirigakure!
“Mangetsu, I will kill you sooner or later!”
It sounded like that voice was Mangetsu’s younger brother, Suigetsu!
Terumi’s expression immediately changed. He hurried in the direction of the voice, only to see the scarred Suigetsu. This fourteen-year-old teenager was desperately roaring at a tall building!
Just now.
Mangetsu sneaked into Kiri Hospital, attacked the seriously ill Ringo, captured her, and defeated his younger brother, Suigetsu.
After doing all this, Mangetsu did not leave.
Now, Mangetsu was still standing on the tall building.
He held the seriously ill Ringo in his hand, looked down at his younger brother who was in despair on the ground, and said coldly, “Suigetsu, you are still so stupid. The Hozuki Clan only has seven ninja swords in their eyes. I thought that you would kill this woman and take away her Kiba to seek revenge on me. I didn’t expect that a fool like you would still be by her side…”
“Bastard! It’s none of your business!”
Suigetsu casually took out a ninja blade from an unconscious Kiri Ninja and was about to rush towards the tall building. However, his physical strength was too weak. Before he could take a few steps, he fell to the ground powerlessly. He could only use the ninja blade to support himself from falling!
Even if he could not fight, Suigetsu’s momentum was still not weaker than his brother’s. His face was full of madness, “Mangetsu, I told you, bastard, to put her down!”
“Don’t worry.”
Mangetsu watched Suigetsu’s actions and snorted coldly.
Mangetsu lowered his head to look at Ringo who was in his hand, “This woman is recognized by Kiba. I will give her enough respect, but I will also make her realize the truth. No matter ninja blade it is, it will be loyal to a Hozuki!”
“I said, put her down for me!”
The chakra in Suigetsu’s body finally erupted completely. His whole body turned into a huge water giant, and his hand grabbed towards Mangetsu who was on the tall building!
However, Mangetsu who was standing on the tall building only casually raised his arm and waved his fist towards the incoming giant, “Suiton, Gōsuiwan no Jutsu(Water Release: Great Water Arm Technique)!”
Bang!
Whoosh!
The sound of water splashing echoed!
The huge water giant was knocked to the ground by a punch and returned to the appearance of Suigetsu. His physical strength was finally completely exhausted.
The last scene that Suigetsu saw before he fainted was his brother Mangetsu with a disdainful smile and Terumi who came to support him. At least if Terumi, this old woman, was here, safety would not be a problem.
Suigetsu was completely unconscious.
Terumi flew to Suigetsu’s side. After checking his body, he raised his head and looked at Mangetsu who was in the building top, “Hey, if you always bully him, even if you expose the truth in the future, his narrow mind will still hate you!”
“I don’t care.”
Mangetsu shook his head and flew to their side. He whispered, “If possible, I hope he will never know the truth.”
“You are really a respectable brother!”
Terumi rubbed her forehead and looked at Ringo who was in Mangetsu’s hand. She whispered, “I originally planned to send Ringo to Konoha in a while and let Fifth Hokage help treat her, but after Tsunade heard about her illness, she has no way to cure her…”
Because of the alliance between Konohagakure and Kirigakure, it was possible for Terumi to ask Tsunade for help, but Tsunade was really powerless against Ringo’s illness.
Mangetsu nodded and looked at his younger brother on the ground, “After I heard about this from Naraku-sama, I asked him for help. Naraku-sama himself is a person who is not inferior to Tsunade-sama in medical ninjutsu…”
“Uehara?”
Terumi frowned and whispered, “The last time I met him was at the meeting talk, did you tell him everything?”
“Yes.”
Mangetsu nodded, “Naraku-sama is a trustworthy friend. Although his character is a bit bad, as long as you treat him well and get his approval, he will be very easy to befriend.”
Terumi looked at Mangetsu speechlessly. She shook her head and said, “But I can’t tell at all that he has the characteristics of being a friend… Are you fooled by him?”
“There is no such possibility.”
Mangetsu’s face suddenly darkened.
After the two talked for a while, Mangetsu leaked a part of the information about Akatsuki, but this time it was good news for Terumi.
The internal structure of the Akatsuki organization was relatively simple.
Obito was the leader behind the organization. All the members were just people he used his strength or money to rope in. They did not have any loyalty at all.
All the members were tested by Mangetsu. In fact, they did not care about Obito’s orders at all.
After such a long time, Terumi finally got a piece of good news, “So, as long as we kill Obito, Akatsuki will immediately face a crisis of disbanding?”
“Theoretically speaking, yes.”
Mangetsu hesitated and nodded.
Although Mangetsu did not understand why Uehara wanted him to say such words, he had to obey the orders of his superior.
“There is one more thing.”
Mangetsu slowly raised his head and looked at Terumi in front of him. He said in a deep voice, “If Sanbi is reborn in the Country of Water, senpai must send all the ninjas in the village to guard Sanbi. Otherwise, if the Akatsuki organization secretly captures Sanbi, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
This sentence was also specially instructed by Uehara.
Logically speaking, shouldn’t it be easier to capture the Sanbi the fewer enemies were? Why would Uehara ask him to send all of Kirigakure’s ninjas?
Could it be that Uehara-sama was also a spy of a certain village?
