Behind the Scenes from Naruto

Chapter 23 - 23: Toasting With Water In Your Glass



"Don\'t be impulsive."

Uehara Naraku gently pinched a card.

The thin card in his hand blocked the sharp edge of Kubikiribocho. This scene shock Zabuza, he can stop Kubikiribocho with an ordinary card?

Uehara waved his hand and threw the card at Zabuza!

Zabuza hurriedly retract Kubikiribocho for defense, only to see the card penetrated Kubikiribocho and got stuck on the surface of the knife!

Uehara Naraku raised his head and continued slowly: "Zabuza, you won\'t live long if you know too many secrets..."

This actually refers only to ordinary people.

Throughout the entire history of Ninja World, the more you know, the longer you will live, such as Black Zetsu. But if you are idiot like Zabuza, you will die young.

"Humph!"

He snorted coldly, with a haughty expression said: "Who do you think you are? Little devil, now tell me your identity and purpose of going to water country, so you won\'t suffer!"

"Are you sure you want me to explain?"

Uehara Naraku show a mysterious smile. He watched Zabuza sarcastically and said every word: "My purpose in going to Water Country is to lure one of the seven ninja swordsmen to assassinate the Mizukage, isn\'t this…. what you also want to do?"

"..."

Zabuza froze for a while and his murderous aura overflowed. Staring at Uehara Naraku, his sharp eyes seemed want to cut the young man a thousand times!

Because Uehara Naraku word happen to be on his mind.

Every aspiring ninja in Kirigakure can see how much the blood fog policy implemented by the fourth Mizukage Yagura has done to the village, and they all want to change this situation.

Momochi Zabuza is one of them.

When he\'s in ninja school, he had the consciousness to change the bloody mist, even in the fratricidal graduation exam, he blatantly killed all of his classmate so that the council will have a possibility of abolishing this kind assessment method to become a Kirininja.

After Zabuza become adult, he joined the Kiri Anbu, and his strength became stronger and stronger. He is hailed as the Demon of the Hidden Mist in the Ninja world. Not long ago, he got the returned Kubikiribocho and became the second generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

Since getting the Kubikiribocho, Zabuza remember his dream in his heart again. He thinks that his strength is enough, so he\'s been planning to assassinate the fourth Mizukage Yagura and change the entire Kirigakure.

If his plan is successful, everything will go smoothly.

If the plan fails, then prepare to escape.

This time Zabuza appear in the Country of Waves to look for an escape route when he fails. After he returned to the village, he planned to find a chance to assassinate the Mizukage.

The boy in front of him seems to seen him through! Obviously, his plan has been hidden in his own heart, and never been mentioned to anyone.

Zabuza no longer panicked, he wanted to chop Uehara Naraku with a single knife swing and find in this little demon mouth who in The Seven Ninja Swordsmen he wanted to lure to assassinate the Mizukage.

If Uehara Naraku utters his name, Zabuza will cut his head with Kubikiribocho.

If Uehara Naraku utters the name of another person, Zabuza will go and test that person to see if they can act together...

Of course, no matter whether they succeed in assassinating the Mizukage in the future, they have to chop Uehara Naraku\'s head. As for whether they can chop it off, they have to try.

He is such a lucky ninja.

Thinking of this, Zabuza looked at Uehara Naraku and said contemptuously: "Hmm, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are the strongest swordsmen in our village, and the ninja who are most loyal to the Mizukage. It\'s absolutely impossible that because of a kid they will assassinate there Kage."

Turning the conversation, Zabuza\'s eyes are full of murderousness: "Or, you kid already colluded with one of the traitors for a long time...Little devil, say his name and maybe I might spare your life!"

"I can\'t tell the name for now."

Uehara Naraku shook his head lightly, and a mocking smile appeared on his face again: "Are the Seven Ninja Swordsmen loyal? Don\'t you know the answer in your heart?"

The first generation of Ninja Swordsmen was kicked by a Konoha ninja and become the three lucky treasures.

After what happen, Kurusuki Raiga and Biwa Juzo defected, the only left in the village is Suikazan Fuguki who later was killed by Hoshigaki Kisame and become the second generation swordsmen.

There are only four people in the second-generation Seven Ninja Sworldsmen. The other two is Hozuki Mangetsu and Ameyuri Ringo who died due to a serious illness. These two later chose to defect taking the sword with them.

After that, there are only two who become the third-generation Ninja Swordsmen, one of them was Chojuro who stayed in Kirigakure and the other also defected.

The member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Hidden Mist had an unusually high proportion of defections.

"Looks like I have to do something..."

Zabuza raised his finger to form a handseal.

The second generation of Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Hidden Mist have three people left, namely Hozuki Mangetsu, Hoshigaki Kisame, and Zabuza. The problem is that except himself, he sees that the remaining two people seem loyal to the fourth mizukage.

Since Hoshigaki Kisame killed Suikazan Fuguki, they become the real power in the village; Hozuki Mangetsu is a clan member of the second-generation Mizukage, who can use all seven ninja swords, and also a genius that has everyone high expectations.

Zabuza didn\'t dare to think anymore. He wants to get the name from Uehara Naraku to determines an alternative plan.

"Suiton: Kirigakure no Jutsu!" (Water Release: Hiding in the Mist Technique)

A cloud of mist appeared on the sea, gradually covering the boat.

Zabusa stepped back a few steps. His tall figure disappeared into the fog, and his voice came from all sides of the fog: "Little devil, are there any parts of your body that you don\'t want? I can help you chop them down..."

"Moron…"

Uehara Naraku cursed secretly, and slowly form a handseal, and whispered softly: "Zabuza, there are some people in the Ninja world that you can\'t provoke, but you just like to provoke those people!"

For example, he provoke him.

And another example is Konoha Team 7 in the future.

"Raiton: Ten Thousand Thunder Sky Prison!"

A huge thundercloud storm appeared in the mist on the sea. A thunder and lightning smashed to the position where Zabusa without error. Fortunately, he escaped in time!

However, within one second, two more lightning fell continuously!

"This kid is actually good at Thunder Ninjutsu..."

Zabuza gritted his teeth again, closed his palms quickly and use a technique to recieve the thunder and lightning: "Suiton: Suiro no Jutsu!" (Water Prison Technique)

The water waves on the sea surged and formed a hollow water ball, which wrapped Zabuza, the thunder and lightning hit it but it only flow in the water ball onto the sea.

After hiding in the water ball, Zabuza breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression was very ugly. The little guy only used one ninjutsu and his position is directly exposed.

Uehara Naraku stepped on the sea water, step by step towards the place where Zabuza was. The boy\'s voice sounded a little immature: "Let\'s toast, with glass of water...."
