Chapter 38 - 38: In The Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Is There Anyone Who Doesn't Want To Kill The Mizukage??
"Then which side are you?"
Kisame laughs and looks at Mangetsu. He put Samehada on his shoulder and said: "Little guy of the Hozuki clan, I remember you were never allowed to approach here, right? And yet you came to Mizukage-sama's residence. Do you want to rescue Mizukage-sama, or kill both Mizukage and the assassin?"
"..."
Mangetsu fell silence.
Kisame shatters the peaceful appearance of Mangetsu.
The Hozuki clan in Kirigakure is a rich family in the village. The most prosperous period is undoubtedly when Hozuki Gengetsu became the Second Mizukage. Since then, the Hozuki clan established their status as the richest clan in Kirigakure.
However, since then, the Hozuki clan can hardly match the Mizukage of the past, and their status is too detached.
These Hozuki ninjas who can use the Hydrification technique are very talented. They have been in charge of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and are responsible for managing this powerful ninja team that is not very obedient to the Mizukage.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen squad, who are not friendly to the Mizukage, are very friendly to the Hozuki Clan because the Hozuki Clan can freely produce the Seven Ninja Swords wielder.
The status of the Hozuki clan is very similar to that of Konoha's Uchiha clan.
No, the status of the Hozuki clan is much stronger than that of Konoha's Uchiha clan. At least one of their clan members becomes Mizukage, but the patriarch of the Uchiha clan can't even get a high-level position in Konoha.
In any case, the relationship between the Hozoki Clan and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen doomed them to be unable to get along with the high-level ninjas headed by the Mizukage.
After many years of war, the people of the Hozuki clan suffered heavy losses on the battlefield, and their talents gradually withered.
Coincidentally, Konoha's Uchiha clan now only has Uchiha Itachi and his younger brother Uchiha Sasuke, and the Hozuki clan in Kirigakure now only has Hozuki Mangetsu and his brother Hozuki Suigetsu.
Looking at the silent Mangetsu, Kisame shows a lightly smiled and continued: "If you kill Mizukage-sama here, even if you are only thirteen years old this year, you are very likely to be elected by many people to succeed and become The Fifth Generations of Mizukage..."
"..."
Mangetsu shook his head and reached out his hand to hold the Ninja sword behind him. He raised his head to looked at Kisame and said in a deep voice: "Then I will disappoint Kisame-senpai. I will not betray the village, let alone plan to kill Mizukage-sama."
"Then why are you talking here!"
Uehara's voice came out, and his body turned into a black shadow and appeared in front of Mangetsu. He hit Mangetsu's head with a punch but only resulting in splashing a lot of water!
The splash of water came together again and turned into the head of Mangetsu. Because of the Hydrification technique of the Hozuki clan, they are completely immune to this level of physical attack.
Mangtsu received a heavy blow on the head from Uehara seemed to be not affected so he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Hey, is this the Hydrification technique? It's amazing..."
"Your Excellency is even more daunting."
Mangetsu's face gradually became solemn, stretched out his hand to hold the Ninja Sword behind him, and whispered: "A person who suffered a blow from the front and completely unharmed...I have never seen it. "
"Here, you see it now."
Uehara is a little grateful that he had purchased the Warmog's armor earlier and his life energy was restored much faster than before. It was just that when Mangetsu and Kisame were talking, his life energy had been restored seventy or eighty percent.
And just when they are talking to each other.
The Sanbi in the lake suddenly turned into smoke and dissipated. The Fourth Mizukage Yagura climbed up, clutching his arm tightly while blood dripped out of his fingers.
As a Jinchuriki, Yagura's recovery ability is also very strong, but the wound left by the purple energy released by Uehara is surprisingly strange. The bijuu chakra can't repair his wound at all.
Everyone's eyes wandered, slowly looking at the seriously injured Fourth Mizukage. Yagura looked at the people present coldly and said: "Hozuki Mangetsu, I order you to kill this little devil and Hoshigaki Kisame! "
Mangetsu lifted his head and glanced at the people present. He pulled out Hiramekarie behind him and replied in a deep voice, "Yes... Mizukage-sama!"
"..."
Uehara quickly put his hands up, just when he was about to fight Mangetsu, Kisame suddenly waved his Samehada to stop him.
While Uehara was shocked, Kisame chuckles and said, "Uehara-sama, don't worry... the situation in Kirigakure is much more complicated than what you have seen. In this village, the so-called companions are just dead souls under the butcher knife. …"
Kisame staring at Mangetsu slowly moving the ninja sword in his hand. The smile on his face grew stronger and stronger: "A seriously injured Mizukage is a huge temptation for a ninja that wants to kill the Mizukage..."
As the words of Kisame fell, Mangetsu clenched Heramekarie in his hand then turned and slashed Yagura behind him!
Uehara frowned looking at another Seven Ninja Swordsmen who betrayed Yagura. He couldn't help but ask: "What's the matter?"
"If it is a completely unharmed Mizukage-sama, naturally no one will dare to do it, and only that crazy guy Zabuza will attack..."
Kisame grinned, looked at the fierce fight of Mangetsu and Yagura, and continued with a smile: "But if it is a seriously injured Mizukage, then it is a different matter... After all, every Kiri ninja has a heroic dream to change the blood mist!
Our Fourth Mizukage has never paid attention to his subordinates. He can barely control the ninjas in the village by relying on the power of Sanbi.
What's more, the Fourth Mizukage-sama who stood in front of us is the reason for the decline of the Hozuki clan in Kirigakure! "
Since Kirigakure became Bloody Mist, the Fourth Mizukage Yagura has long lost the people's hearts in the village. What's more, the rules set by him personally made the Kiri ninjas lost their respect for him.
And the gradual disappearance of the Hozuki clan in the Kirigakure is inseparable from the Fourth Mizukage who implemented the blood fog policy.
Uehara looked at Mangetsu with some doubts: "If his purpose is to kill the Fourth Mizukage, why did he stop me from killing Yagura?"
"Because he wants revenge!"
Kisame said with a light smile: "The relationship between the Hozuki clan and the Fourth Mizukage is like water and fire. Since I joined Anbu, I have seen many missions to clear the Hozuki clan ninja!"
"Hmm, that's all Uchiha Obito's fault..."
Uehara wanted to speak, shouldn't all the black pots that happened in Kirigakure be placed on Uchiha's head?
But when you think about it, Mangetsu doesn't know anything about it.
Kisame shook his head and whispered: "Uehara-sama, it has long been a custom for the Mizukage to suppress the ninja in Kirigakure. It is just that the person behind the scenes who manipulated the Fourth Mizukage completely intensified the contradiction."
"..."
Uehara nodded thoughtfully.
Does every Ninja Village have such bad things?
There are so many deep hatreds, it's not surprising that Mangetsu wants to kill the Mizukage!
The patriarch Uchiha Fugaku who died not long ago, if one day he meets the seriously injured Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen in private, I am afraid that he will help them lift their ashes, right?
