Chapter 227: Akatsuki’s Monster!
Ao’s corpse rolled on the ground…
In the end, his corpse stopped in front of Terumi. The blood gushing out from his throat flowed on the ground and stained Terumi’s shoes.
“Ao-senpai…”
There was a hint of grief in Terumi’s eyes.
Ever since she became Kirigakure’s higher-ups, Ao had always been by her side, guiding her growth like a Senpai, respectfully following her orders.
This was because Ao knew that a ninja like Terumi was Kirigakure’s future hope. The double Bloodline Limit was enough for Kirigakure to have an expert comparable to a Kage-level expert.
Right now, Ao’s corpse was right in front of Terumi, his stiff face still carrying a bit of astonishment. It was clear that he had never thought that his sneak attack would be seen through.
After all, he had paid the price of his own Byakugan to assassinate a member of Akatsuki, who was wearing a hat!
“Hahahahaha…”
Deidara could not help but cover his stomach and laugh wildly, “What kind of village is this? How can there be such idiots? Who does he think he assassinated?”
To be honest, Deidara was still a little scared at the beginning.
After all, if Uehara was really assassinated, Konan would probably go crazy, right? According to her love for Uehara, the entire Country of Water might be directly blown into ruins by Konan. He and Sasori might also be implicated.
Now that Uehara was fine, of course, it was time to be arrogant!
Deidara grinned and took out a lump of clay from his bag. The mouth in his palm swallowed the clay and chewed it slowly.
Ao had broken the agreement unilaterally, so it was time to make a big fuss!
“He really doesn’t know his own strength…”
Sasori’s mood gradually calmed down. He looked at Uehara beside him with a little surprise. After all, even he couldn’t react to Ao’s outburst just now!
But Uehara casually cut off Ao’s throat, and there was no trace of blood on his body.
It should be said that he was worthy of being someone both Pain and Konan thought highly of.
“Sasori-senpai, lend me a scroll.”
Uehara waved his hand and threw Ao’s Kunai to the ground. He slowly borrowed a sealed scroll from Sasori and sealed the Byakugan in his hand.
This was the most important thing.
In the future, he might be able to give this Byakugan to Kabuto and let him install it on White Zetsu’s coat. He would definitely be able to increase Kabuto’s strength once again.
The Kiri Ninjas looked at Uehara with a hint of fear on their faces.
This monster of Akatsuki’s organization did not seem to care about the assassination just now.
Terumi clenched her teeth and ordered the Anbu beside her, “Help me collect Ao’s body. I’ll help him take revenge.”
Her voice was a little calm.
However, the Anbu beside her could hear a touch of anger in her calm voice, just like the calm before the eruption of a volcano.
One of the Anbu involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva and recalled the horror of Terumi. He hurriedly responded in a low voice, “Yes, Terumi-sama.”
Tap…
Tap Tap…
The sound of high-heeled wooden clogs stepping on the floor was crisp.
Terumi walked towards the members of Akatsuki step by step. One Kiri Ninja after another whispered to each other and gathered around again, ready to support her at any time.
Uehara put away the scroll containing Byakugan, looked at Terumi who was strolling over, and turned to look at Zabuza, “Zabuza-san, has she always been so brave?”
“… Yes.”
Zabuza nodded with an ugly expression on his face.
In that instant just now, there was a faint hope in Zabuza’s heart.
He hoped that Uehara would be successfully assassinated by Ao, so that he could reverse the situation on the spot and directly attack Sasori and Deidara, returning to Kirigakure as a hero undercover.
Unfortunately.
Ao had failed, and he had been defeated very miserably.
Sasori glanced at Zabuza, and then looked at the broadsword in his hand. He frowned slightly, “Zabuza,”
Was the killing intent coming from you just now targeting me?”
“…”
Zabuza broke out in a cold sweat.
Uehara smiled and said to help Zabuza out, “There are still enemies here. There are some things that we can deal with later. After all, the one we are going to fight now is very likely the Fifth Mizukage!”
Zabuza heaved a sigh of relief.
He wanted to wait until the end of the battle to make a plan.
If Akatsuki failed to attack Kirigakure this time, then he would immediately turn back to Kirigakure. Based on the information he knew about Akatsuki, he would definitely be able to hold a high position in the village.
If Akatsuki successfully attacked Kirigakure this time, then he would immediately become a loyal member of Akatsuki. After all, although Akatsuki had a small number of people, their combat strength was very strong. They might really be able to rule the Ninja World!
Just as Zabuza relaxed a little, Uehara suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Now, let Zabuza-san kill this woman Terumi and prove his loyalty!”
There was a hint of a smile in Uehara’s voice, “In this case, if he wins, then it proves that he still has value. If he loses, then his death has nothing to do with us. It means that we do not need a traitor and trash like him…”
Bastard!
Zabuza cursed in his heart.
Just how much did this bastard Uehara look down on him?
After Uehara finished speaking, he looked at Zabuza and chuckled, “Zabuza-san, I believe you will prove yourself, right?”
“Hmph, don’t worry.”
Zabuza coldly snorted, picked up the broadsword in his hand, and rushed in Terumi’s direction!
When Terumi saw that the first to rush out from Akatsuki’s organization was actually Zabuza, she couldn’t help but frown.
According to the information she had received from Mangetsu all these years, Zabuza was not a good person!
Sasori looked at Zabuza’s back and said softly, “Uehara, Zabuza is a very disobedient guy…”
“So he is dead for sure.”
Uehara watched as Zabuza brandished his broadsword and rushed towards Terumi. He chuckled and said, “There is no place for him among Akatsuki’s members. He is only temporarily occupying another person’s position for a period of time.”
“Hmm? Another person?”
Deidara immediately became curious, “Could it be that there are other people that will join our organization?”
“Yes.”
Uehara nodded and said softly, “After all, if Mangetsu and Zabuza were to be teammates, it would be too wrong… It just so happens that there is a little fellow who has grown up. He is also eager to get the beheaded blade and also eager to see Mangetsu.”
Uehara was talking about Mangetsu’s younger brother, Suigetsu.
Zabuza’s strength had never been able to keep up with his ambition, constantly thinking of a chance to return to Kirigakure and grasp its power.
During this period of time, the activity of the members of Akatsuki’s organization was very high, and the threat to the Ninja World increased greatly. Every Ninja Village was doing its best to gather information about Akatsuki.
Zabuza would definitely not let go of this opportunity.
Sasori’s expression was somewhat subtle, “Then when you recruited this kind of guy to join Akatsuki, it was really a shame for Akatsuki!”
“I thought he would change.”
Uehara shook his head and sighed softly, “I just didn’t expect that this guy’s nature is still hard to change. He is not even as loyal as the previous generation of beheading sword users, Biwa Juzo, to his companions!”
Uehara looked at Zabuza, who was at a disadvantage at the beginning of the game and said softly, “With Zabuza’s strength, it is absolutely impossible for him to defeat that woman Terumi. Then let him be buried in his hometown!”
A hint of ridicule appeared on Deidara’s face, and he said with a sneer, “Tsk, you are really cruel!”
After Deidara finished speaking, he spread out his palm, and a cruel smile appeared on his face, “However, this guy Zabuza actually wanted to attack Sasori when you were assassinated. This guy is really unforgivable… Even if he did not die in the hands of the enemy, I will ignore the rules of the organization and kill him!”
“Don’t worry.”
Uehara looked at Terumi, who was beginning to pout, and said in a low voice, “This guy… is dead for sure!”
Sure enough.
Terumi’s combat experience was not as good as Zabuza’s, but her Bloodline Limit was enough to make up for all the flaws, and even her will far surpassed Zabuza’s will to fight!
After all, if a person was not strong enough and still wanted to sneak in and play tricks, how could he defeat a woman like Terumi…
Especially since this woman was still in a state of extreme anger!
“Yōton, Yōkai no Jutsu (Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique)!”
Terumi opened her mouth and spat out a stream of acid that directly corroded Zabuza’s body. This acid actually corroded a large hole in his body, and even through the hole, they could see the organs inside his body!
Zabuza looked at the large hole in his chest and abdomen in disbelief. He immediately turned his head to look at Uehara, wanting to rush to Uehara’s side with all his might!
Because it was very clear that Uehara’s medical ninjutsu was very strong.
As long as the person did not die, Uehara could be saved.
However, when Zabuza’s eyes showed despair, the three members of Akatsuki in the distance did not seem to have any intention of rushing over to support him.
Sasori even slowly stretched out a chakra line and pulled away the ninja sword in Zabuza’s hand before he died, “If I remember correctly, Mangetsu seems to be able to use any ninja blade?”
“That’s right.”
Uehara nodded and watched as Zabuza completely went silent. In the midst of a group of cheering Kiri Ninjas, he slowly raised his palm.
Clap…
Clap Clap…
Uehara looked at the slightly panting Terumi and suddenly said, “Thank you for helping us eliminate Akatsuki’s traitor. After Zabuza joined Akatsuki back then, he had always wanted to collect information about Akatsuki. He planned to find an opportunity to come back and rely on his action of ending the Blood Mist Policy and Akatsuki’s information to serve as Kirigakure’s Fifth Mizukage!”
“…”
The entire Kirigakure was in an uproar!
Every Kiri Ninja looked at Zabuza who was in a miserable state, and their expressions changed instantly. They subconsciously remembered his contributions.
Terumi’s expression did not change at all.
Because she trusted Mangetsu’s judgment very much.
Mangetsu believed that Kisame still had a way to remedy the situation. If he had to fight in the future, Terumi could show mercy to Kisame. As for Zabuza, there was no need to hold back at all.
Therefore, Terumi brazenly killed Zabuza.
“Tsk, actually, what I said might be true…”
Uehara shook his head and sighed. He slowly stopped his palm and said with a long voice, “Congratulations, Your Excellency Terumi. Congratulations on killing a member of our Akatsuki. You will be rewarded by Akatsuki.”
“What?”
Terumi frowned. She did not think that Akatsuki’s reward was anything good. Moreover, this sentence was clearly an insult to Kirigakure!
Uehara’s voice suddenly changed, and there was a faint sense of oppression before it descended, “The reward is to let you see the sunrise today!”
When Uehara finished speaking, a red sun slowly rose. The first rays of the morning sun shone down, shining on the stone slabs inside Kirigakure.
This was the first time Kirigakure had seen a sunrise.
This village had always been covered by fog. Basically, all they saw was the afternoon sun. If not for the strong wind blowing away all the fog in the village today, they would not have seen such scenery today.
Sunrise was really beautiful.
However, Terumi’s expression suddenly changed!
If she had not heard wrongly, now that the sun was shining down, Akatsuki and the other lunatics would definitely launch an attack on the village!
“Time is up.”
Uehara calmly said these four words. Then, he suddenly squatted down and slapped his palm on the ground. Then, he coldly shouted, “Katon, Pillar of Flame!”
In the next moment, pillars of flames shot up into the sky from all over the ground of Kirigakure. In fact, they would only appear in a place that was dozens of meters away in a regular pattern!
However, it was these Pillar of Flame who suddenly appeared that turned the entire Kirigakure into a sea of flames in a short moment. Some of the unlucky Kirigakure Ninjas were directly burned to ashes by the flames that suddenly appeared!
Just the number of Pillar of Flame was roughly calculated, and their numbers were even more than the number of the entire Kirigakure ninjas!
Even the strongest, Terumi, now had a faint look of despair in her eyes, “What kind of monsters… are inside Akatsuki…”
