Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 203 You talk too much!

Intelligence agents are always easy to trust.

After all, Mei Terumi's methods of obtaining information are relatively limited, and Hozuki Mangetsu's younger brother, Hozuki Suigetsu, is still under her protection, so she trusts Hozuki Mangetsu quite a bit.

Hozuki Mangetsu is a descendant of the Second Mizukage's family, so how could he possibly betray Kirigakure and pass on false information to her?

After hurriedly relaying a bunch of information to Mei Terumi, Hozuki Mangetsu returned with the seriously ill Ringo Ameyuri to report to Uehara Naraku.

On their way back, Ringo Ameyuri, the last of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist who did not join Akatsuki, gradually became curious about Hozuki Mangetsu.

The two brothers look so alike.

According to her friend Hozuki Suigetsu, Ringo Ameyuri's brother, Hozuki Mangetsu, was a bastard and a traitor whom she wished she could kill.

In retrospect, Hozuki Suigetsu's attitude was inevitably biased.

Hozuki Mangetsu wasn't as bad as his younger brother made him out to be.

Compared to her naive friend Hozuki Suigetsu, Ringo Ameyuri was more interested in learning about Hozuki Mangetsu, the genius senior who was said to be able to summon all seven ninja swords.

Hozuki Mangetsu does not seem to be a simple rogue ninja.

This man is like a mystery, making people want to know more.

Unfortunately, Hozuki Mangetsu was very tight-lipped and revealed almost nothing along the way. The only thing he told Ringo Ameyuri was that he could help her cure her illness.

"Why do I need someone to treat me?"

Ringo Ameyuri raised an eyebrow, revealing a set of sharp little teeth at the corner of her mouth: "Is it because I'm the first female member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, your junior, or because I'm Suigetsu's friend?"

"...Because someone needs your strength."

Hozuki Mangetsu's answer was very straightforward, even more so than his superior's. He added, "However, I'd rather just kill you. After all, you're not strong enough to withstand even a single blow from you, sir. I don't think it's necessary for you to join us."

"grown ups?"

Ringo Ameyuri's face showed even greater curiosity as she stared intently at Hozuki Mangetsu's expression, trying to discern something from him: "What master? Senpai's current master? I'm really curious, someone who can conquer Mangetsu-senpai..."

"..."

Hozuki Mangetsu ignored her.

Because Ringo Ameyuri soon met the adult that Hozuki Mangetsu had mentioned.

early morning.

Lake Weiming in the Land of Rain.

This is near the Akatsuki base.

When Hozuki Mangetsu and Ringo Ameyuri arrived, they saw a young ninja training by the lake, practicing simple hand seals.

It's just that the hand seal speed...

When other ninjas in the ninja world form hand seals, they are afraid that they are not fast enough, so that people cannot see their hand gestures or even their movements.

However, when this young ninja practiced hand seals, his speed was so slow that it was as if he were doing yoga, which made people furious.

"Do not disturb the master's cultivation."

Hozuki Mangetsu stopped Ringo Ameyuri in her tracks, intently watching the young ninja training by the lake.

"Senior, is this really the person we're supposed to meet?"

Ringo Ameyuri looked at the young ninja practicing hand seals by the lake, and her expression immediately turned strange. She said with a grim look, "If I'm not mistaken, he's learning the hand seals for Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet, right?"

"That's right."

Hozuki Mangetsu nodded.

Ringo Ameyuri glanced at Hozuki Mangetsu again, then hesitated before asking, "Did he make a mistake with one of his hand seals just now? Are you sure this is cultivation, Senpai?"

"Yes, I saw it."

Hozuki Mangetsu nodded again.

Ringo Ameyuri's gaze became even stranger, and there was even some confusion on her face. Perhaps Hozuki Mangetsu-senpai didn't care about this so-called adult?

According to Ringo Ameyuri's observation, the young ninja did not have the slightest aura of a strong person, and even seemed a bit like a clumsy genin.

Why did Hozuki Mangetsu choose to join him?

next moment.

The young ninja by the lake completed his clumsy hand seals and shouted loudly towards the water, "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

In an instant, the wind and clouds surged!

A water dragon, hundreds or even thousands of meters long, materialized beside the young ninja. The water dragon was not only enormous, but also incredibly lifelike, with even a single scale clearly visible!

Ringo Yuri's gaze narrowed slightly!

The power of the Water Dragon Bullet Technique unleashed by the young ninja was more than ten times stronger than that of other ninjas' techniques! Even taking advantage of the lake's water, this was astonishing!

In terms of the power of Water Release techniques alone, Ringo Ameyuri had never seen a ninja who could rival the young ninja's Water Dragon Bullet Technique.

clap clap clap...

Just as Ringo Ameyuri was still marveling, Hozuki Mangetsu had already clapped his hands and exclaimed softly, "How terrifying... As expected of Uehara-sama!"

"Oh, you flatter me, you flatter me."

The young ninja waved modestly at Hozuki Mangetsu, then turned to Ringo Ameyuri: "I heard everything just now, and it seems I did make a mistake with one of my hand seals..."

After saying this, the young ninja patted Ringo Ameyuri on the shoulder, and a beam of light enveloped Ringo Ameyuri.

Just as Ringo Ameyuri was wondering what the light surrounding her was, the young ninja suddenly reached out and grabbed her by the throat!

"Huh?"

Lin Yuyu was shocked.

The young ninja muttered, "You talk too much! Don't I know I've made a mistake with the hand seals? Do I have to redo them? There are forty-four seals!"

After saying that, the young ninja swiftly snapped Ringo Ameyuri's neck.

After she completely lost consciousness, Ringo Ameyuri could hardly believe it. She had just casually mentioned a mistake, and she was about to be killed?

Who exactly is this young ninja?!

How can they be even more bloodthirsty than the Hidden Mist ninja!

Ringo Ameyuri's body fell to the ground with a thud.

The next second, Ringo Ameyuri's consciousness returned, and she looked up blankly at her surroundings, as if she had just had a nightmare.

No, it wasn't a nightmare.

Ringo Ameyuri touched her neck with lingering fear. At that moment, she felt as if she were truly dead, her soul almost leaving her body.

But for some reason, she came back to life.

The young ninja bent down and looked at the female ninja lying on the ground: "How are you feeling? Do you feel better?"

"..."

Ringo Yuri subconsciously recalled the torment of the illness, but she no longer felt any pain, only a slight pain in her neck.

What exactly is going on?

That was treatment...

Was he killed by the person in front of him, only to be resurrected by him again?

"It seems you're cured."

The young ninja chuckled and squatted down in front of Ringo Ameyuri: "Now that you're cured, would you be willing to become my subordinate?"

"What if I don't agree?"

Ringo Amori looked up and asked.

The young ninja gave a playful smile: "Then I'll just keep repeating the same process: kill you, revive you, kill you again, revive you again. Anyway, I have plenty of chakra. Let's see who has more patience..."

The young ninja continued casually, "In the end, either you completely give up and submit to me, or I completely give up and kill you directly."

"..."

Lin Yuyu's heart tightened.

However, the young ninja continued, "Of course, even after you die, you probably won't have a good time. I can control your soul."

Ringo Ameyuri glanced speechlessly at the young ninja, then slowly clenched her fists. What choice did she have left?

Ringo Amori pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "Even if I'm going to pledge allegiance to someone, I should at least know who my new boss is, right?"

"Um, my name is Uehara Naraku."

The young ninja reached out and pulled Ringo Ameyuri up, praising her, "Congratulations on making the right choice."

Yuri Lin: "..."

After seeing Ringo Ameyuri join Uehara Naraku's ranks, Hozuki Mangetsu finally spoke up, "My lord, I will now take her to see Lord Konan and Lord Pain."

"Um."

Uehara Naraku nodded and casually waved his hand, saying, "Her strength isn't enough yet, so let her accompany you for now!"

"clear."

After Hozuki Mangetsu left with Ringo Ameyuri.

Uehara Naraku quietly opened his system panel and looked at the mission reward for defeating Ringo Ameyuri. This was the last member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist he had defeated.

Side quest: Gain 40 subordinates (4/40). Quest incomplete, reward unknown.

Side Quest: Defeat the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist (7/7). Quest complete. Reward: One hidden legacy quest.

Hidden Legacy Quest: I Will Dance on Your Grave! Say the correct name.

This is a hero who loves to dance!

Madara Uchiha would definitely have something in common with him.

After pondering for a while, Uehara Naraku brought up the name that was always being attacked: "Irelia, the Blade Dancer!"

The mission is complete; the hero's legacy begins.

Blade: Gain the chakra weapon Blade, which can be freely manipulated for attacks. Each chakra blade consumes 1 point of chakra per second while it exists.

Blade Impact: Charges at an enemy. This skill is refreshed after each enemy is killed. The skill costs 20 chakra and has no cooldown.

Dance of Destruction: Manipulates all blades to appear around oneself for defense, reducing damage taken by 50%. Skill costs 70 chakra points. Skill cooldown is zero.

Vanguard Blade: Fires all chakra blades in a straight line, eventually forming an iron curtain of blades. The skill consumes 100 chakra points and has no cooldown.

Uehara Naraku slowly raised his palm, and strangely shaped chakra blades appeared behind him. These blades looked somewhat like a type of spinning shuriken from the ninja world.

This lineage is too weak.

To be honest, it's really not very useful.

No, it's still useful.

Uehara Naraku manipulated blades to shoot into the trees, and then these blades flew back under his control, hovering behind him again.

At least this thing is cool.

On this day, the Akatsuki quietly welcomed a new member.

On this day, Kirigakure lost their last ninja sword and their last member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

However, Mei Terumi in the distant Hidden Mist Village was completely unaware that the entire Hidden Mist Village was facing a new problem: harassment from Obito Uchiha.

The entire ninja world began to suffer from Obito Uchiha's harassment.

Moreover, no one knows what Obito Uchiha is really up to. This guy seems to simply attack various ninja villages from time to time to make his presence known.

Of course, no one would believe that Obito Uchiha was just trying to make his presence known.

Unfortunately, the major ninja villages had no way to deal with Obito Uchiha's harassment unless they laid an ambush beforehand, otherwise it would be impossible to capture him.

But who can find out where Obito Uchiha appeared?

As time went by, Obito Uchiha's reputation grew increasingly tarnished.

Black Zetsu couldn't figure out what Obito Uchiha's purpose was, but he was sure he wanted to sabotage the Eye of the Moon plan, so Black Zetsu became more and more anxious.

Uehara Naraku remained calm, because he knew that the Uchiha Obito was actually Kabuto Yakushi disguised in a White Zetsu cloak.

After Kabuto Yakushi trained in Ryuchi Cave for a period of time and successfully mastered Sage Mode, he began to carry out missions according to Uehara's orders.

Uehara Naraku estimated that the time of the Three-Tails' rebirth would also be the time when the Akatsuki's plan to collect the Tailed Beasts would begin, which is why he had Kabuto Yakushi temporarily halt his actions and spread the news that Orochimaru had died in the experiment.

In addition, Uehara continued to order Kabuto Yakushi to dig up the graves of those powerful ninjas in the ninja world, slowly drawing Black Zetsu's attention to him.

In this way, Black Zetsu had no other choice.

First update, two more at 5:30 PM, because I need to polish it properly today!

Everything will be fine tomorrow!
