Chapter 45 - 45: Even If They Surrender, They Still Fight Each Other!
"Boy, your eyes give a dangerous look!"
Uehara's gaze alarm Zabuza's heart, he subconsciously reaches out and touches the kunai on his waist.
Why did Uehara somehow look at him with such a dangerous gaze, as if he wanted to bury him at any time!
"No."
Uehara shook his head and retracted his gaze. He looks at the corpse of Yagura on the ground and whispered: "I just want to know who will shoulder the trouble of killing the Fourth Mizukage"
"Are you still afraid of this?"
Zabuza looks at him contemptuously and said coldly: "If you are worried about the pursuit of Kirigakure, I can tell others that I killed Yagura..."
As expected by Uehara, Zabuza doesn't want a kid to become his new boss base on his tone.
As for the killing of the Fourth Mizukage, it is not a problem for Zabuza it's even very useful for him.
Because Yagura governed the Kirigakure and become the bloody mist, his reputation in Kirigakure was always not very good. Many ninjas hate his bloody mist policy but were afraid of his Mizukage identity and powerful strength.
In the eyes of these people, Zabuza will be a real hero.
Uehara also thought of this, he smiles and nodded: "This will not be a problem for you. When the story of you killing Yagura spreads, there will be many ninjas in Kirigakure who will secretly support you"
"Humph…"
Zabuza snorted and didn't answer, he didn't expect his thoughts will be read by Uehara so quickly.
To tell the truth, he intends to return to the Water Country with the hero title "Yagura killer, Eliminated the Chigiri no Sato (Bloody Mist)" in the future, and may be able to secretly control the power of Kirigakure.
Uehara didn't care about this.
Kisame also didn't care. Among those present, only he and Uehara knew that Yagura is just a puppet controlled by others.
"Uehara-sama."
Mangetsu frown and look at Zabuza with a bit of discomfort. He said in a low voice: "If we do what Zabuza said, will it affect our plan? Suigetsu is looking forward to getting his Kubikiribocho...."
Uehara asked with a puzzled face: "What do you mean?"
"It's better to kill Zabuza!"
Mangetsu is full of murderous aura, and a fierce smile appeared on his mouth. He said coldly: "It just so happens that I can also use Kubikiribocho!"
"Asshole, do you think you can kill me!"
"If it's you Zabuza-senpai, it will no be difficult."
"..."
The two former allies quarreled again.
Uehara didn't know whether Mangetsu is jealous of Zabuza's position in Suigetsu's heart, or he wanted the Kubikiribocho in his hand.
If you are anxious you attack your companions... The average moral limit of the Seven Ninja Swordmen is a bit low!
Only Kisame is worthy of trust.
"All right."
Kisame kicked the Kubikiribocho with only the hilt left in front of him to Zabuza and said: "Zabuza, go and fix your ninja sword and pick up the body of Mizukage-sama..... Uehara-sama, where is our next stop?"
"Kirigakure."
Uehara glanced at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Zabuza will declare to Kirigakure that you killed the Fourth Mizukage; Mangetsu you will arrange your affairs and I will wait for you outside of Kirigakure until tonight."
"Got it."
"Understand."
Zabuza and Mangetsu each agreed and disappeared in front of Uehara. Only Kisame is still standing behind him.
Kisame looks at the back of Uehara and praises loudly: "Today I saw Uehara-sama show a stronger power!"
"Are you okay?"
Kisame smiles when Uehara is being humble and continues to follow his words: "Master will become stronger in the future and may be able to surpass the ninja demigod in Amegakure in the future! "
"Demigod Hanzo?"
Uehara couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hey, Kisame, if you take him as an example, it's mocking my lack of strength!"
Kisame shook his head with a smile and then said with a serious face: "No, Master power is beyond my knowledge. I don't know what the guy Uchiha Obito thinks and dares to become Uehara-sama's enemy"
"Him?"
When Uehara heard the words of Kisame he whispers, "Kisame, don't underestimate him just because he is not the real Uchiha Madara! To some extent, the guy Uchiha Obito is more difficult to deal with than Uchiha Madara!"
"Is that so?"
Kisame thinks for a while then suddenly smiles: "I probably know how to regain his trust... But how should I explain Uehara-sama willing to save my life?"
"Well…"
Uehara thought for a while and found a reason: "Just consider me as an intern working hard to become a full member of Akatsuki. After all, my mission in the country of water is to recruit you to join Akatsuki."
"Understand."
Kisame grinned.
"Let's go pick someone up first."
Uehara remembered that he had an arrangement to wait for Zabuza's matter to finish. Since there is no need to wait he will now take Haku.
The trip to the country of water is fairly smooth and everything he wanted to do is done even a little too much.
The only trouble is, where Uchiha Obito currently is?
That guy will not chase Kakashi all the time, right?
Uehara guessed right, Obito had indeed been chasing Kakashi and Hanare.
*****
Kakashi and Hanare hid in the forest outside Kirigakure.
Kakashi believed that Obito is still near Kirigakure and planned to avenge Rin; Hanare thought that Uchiha Obito is a conspirator and wanted to kill them, she keeps persuading Kakashi to flee the country of water.
However, how could Kakashi who wanted to get the truth from Obito and bring him back to Konoha give up? He analyzed the intelligence obtained from Hanare and felt that his best friend's IQ had improved a lot.
Hanare pushed Kakashi's shoulder and pointed to Kirigakure where the fire is being lighted up everywhere: "Kakashi, there seems to be something wrong in Kirigakure!"
The sound of fighting in the village even reached the mountain!
Kakashi's expression suddenly became tense. Regardless of his injuries, he went to Kirigakure to search for information: "Maybe it because of Obito! I must go and see!"
"He will kill you!"
Hanare grabs his arm.
Kakashi is silent for a while and little by little he freed Hanare's arm. He lowers his head and said: "Even if Obito kills me, I must get the truth from him."
Even if it was because of Rin's death he refused to return to the village.... Then why did he go back and kill the Namekaze couple?
