Chapter 123 A Battle? (33)

In Kakuzu's eyes, although he knew that this newcomer had the same face as the leader, the bounty on his body in the black market still made him extremely covetous.

Furthermore, although intelligence indicated that this member of the Uzumaki clan possessed the Wood Release technique of the First Hokage, Kazukata, having witnessed the power of the First Hokage, scoffed at it.

How could such power be something an ordinary person could possess?

Even with Wood Release, one would need to reach the level of the First Hokage to be truly terrifying.

"Kid, do you even know who the senior you're talking to right now is?"

Uzumaki Sora looked at Kakuzu, pondered for a moment, and said, "Kakuzu, the rogue ninja of Takigakure, defected after failing to assassinate the First Hokage as part of the village's plan. Are you implying... you're a man who fought the First Hokage?"

"Whoosh!"

He turned and slashed with his sword, knocking away the black tentacle that had emerged from the ground behind him.

The next moment, Sora's figure disappeared from the spot.

"puff!"

With a single stab, its water-attribute heart, located in the upper left corner of its body, was instantly pierced.

Kakuzu was about to make a move, but stopped a second later.

"For someone like you, who isn't truly immortal but merely requires the destruction of five hearts, I really have trouble controlling my strength."

"For example, a fire could burn you to ashes. Or five stabs in an instant could kill you."

"So don't even think about making any more threats, I'm afraid you'll get instantly killed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uzumaki Sora pulled out the sword that had pierced his heart, thought for a moment, and said, "With the power of Senju Hashirama, saying you could fight him is a bit of an exaggeration. How about saying you escaped with your life from the First Hokage?"

"After all, with your strength, it seems like the First Hokage let you off the hook, right?"

Uzumaki Sora's words made Kakuzu's old face turn bright red, perhaps because he was no longer using a water-attribute heart and was experiencing some internal heat from his fire-attribute heart.

This guy who always loved to brag finally realized he was embarrassed.

At this moment, because of the soul-piercing strike, such speed and reaction are even more astonishing than the abilities of the two Kaleidoscopes ten days ago.

Konan looked at Pain and said, "His speed, without even using the Fourth Hokage's technique, is already this fast just from the Body Flicker Technique."

Tiandao nodded slightly: "In any case, he must obey God's will."

After finishing speaking, Tiandao looked at Uzumaki Sora: "Next, you will team up with Biwa Juzo. Your first mission requires you to set off for Kumogakure tomorrow. The details are in the scroll."

Taking the scroll thrown by the Heavenly Dao, Uzumaki Sora left the frozen Kakuzu.

After opening and looking at it, I seemed to be deep in thought.

Is that old man, Onoki, trying to probe the true strength of Kumogakure?

Using Xiao as a weapon is indeed a wise way to protect oneself.

"Understood. I will set off tomorrow with this...bandaged captain."

Juzo Biwa frowned: "My name is Juzo Biwa, not... the bandaged person."

Whirlpool Sora nodded and replied, "Okay, bandaged man."

The deliberate words eased the tension somewhat, since it wasn't just Kakuzu who had lost face; Juzo Biwa, because of what had just happened, hadn't even made a provocative move.

……

under night.

Juzo Biwa looked at his new teammate with some curiosity: "Your strength... is very strong, but I'm not weak either."

Seeing that he didn't receive a reply, Juzo Biwa continued, "Let's introduce our strengths and weaknesses. After all, we need to have a few strategies to complete the mission as a team, right?"

Sitting on the roof, Uzumaki Sora shook his head slightly and stood up: "Under normal circumstances, I only use speed and swords to kill enemies now. I can use ninjutsu and gentai, and I also have quite a few bloodline limits."

"So... as things stand now, there's no need for any plans or anything like that."

Juzo Biwa paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "I used to be just as confident as you. I thought that with the power of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, facing a mere genin from Konoha, such a battle should have been a one-sided massacre..."

"Heh... It really was a one-sided massacre. That Konoha genin turned the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist into a trio. It's unbelievable that the guy named Might Guy was just a Konoha genin."

"Now... do you still think the plan is useless?"

Uzumaki Sora almost laughed at this moment. The bizarre existence of Konoha would probably be even more outrageous in a few years.

Genin are capable of destroying the world and saving it; the eleven Konoha 11 are all incredibly powerful Chunin; Jonin are just there for show; and the Anbu are just trash that can be wiped out at will.

Just outrageous!

With a slight twitch at the corner of his eye, Kong exhaled and said, "Alright, let's talk."

Pipa Juzo nodded and began to explain the plan, only stopping when he came to the plan to have Uzumaki Sora kill him first.

Sora looked at his teammate and asked, "So, what's it like to be a rogue ninja from Kirigakure, yet so loyal to the village before you defected?"

"You're just dissatisfied with the tyranny of the Hidden Mist's higher-ups, right? A village known for its blood mist can certainly make people feel gloomy."

Juzo Biwa was stunned. After a long while, he exhaled and said, "If I hadn't known I couldn't win, my Executioner's Blade would already be at your neck."

Uzumaki Sora shook his head slightly: "It's just a fact that happened in the past, and a village like that would certainly cause dissatisfaction. But... do you want to know why?"

reason?

"What's the reason?!"

Juzo Biwa's pupils widened, then, as if struck by a thought, he stared at Sora Uzumaki and asked, "What's the reason behind Kirigakure's policy of isolation from the outside world all this time?! Can you tell me?!"

As the vortex slowly approached, it whispered, "No need to be so loud. Although a shielding barrier has been set up here, it's still... quite ear-piercing."

As he spoke, Uzumaki Sora looked at Biwa Juzo and said, "If you want to know the reason, you need to show your loyalty."

Loyalty?!

Juzo Biwa's expression was somewhat strange. After a moment, he said, "You should have seen the leader's eyes yourself, right? Although your power is indeed strong, compared to the eyes of the legendary Sage of Six Paths..."

Uzumaki Sora waved his hand and replied, "I know far more about the Rinnegan than you do, and the leader's true intentions are debatable. I have my own plans regarding him."

"On the contrary, as one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, I am not clear about your attitude towards the word 'peace'."

Is it peaceful?

The appearance of yet another term left Biwa Juzo somewhat bewildered. He knew that the ideal was to transcend the Five Great Nations and make the world experience suffering.

But now, is it peace again?

"Take a break. Once you've thought about your answer, tell me."

As soon as Vortex Sora finished speaking, the shielding barrier was removed, and he disappeared from the rooftop.

Chapter Three is here! I made it today, congratulations!
