Chapter 41: The outrageously strong teenager
The clash between Zabuza and Kisame was incomparable to the fierce battle between Uehara and Mangetsu. The strength of these twelve or thirteen-year-old youngsters was unbelievable.
The Hiramekarei in the hands of Mangetsu slashed down, the murderous aura left a deep chasm in the earth, but the blade was blocked by a circular defensive net that shone with a yellow glow!
It was Ueharaâs defensive stance. The golden net tightly wrapped Ueharaâs body, with a spike at every grid intersection!
âIs that all you got?â
Ueharaâs mouth formed a smile. The bonus skill he got after defeating the Mizukage was all he needed to ignore the enemyâs swordsmanship in battle.
As long as it wasnât Might Guy from Konohagakure, his taijutsu would be a match for any Jonin ninja now.
Mangetsu looked at Ueharaâs smile and twisted his wrist, causing the pair of holes on the Hiramekarei to spew a gas that enveloped the entire sword!
âHiramekarei ·Unleashing!â
Mangetsu snorted coldly, and Hiramekarei shot at Uehara!
As he finished his words, a ball of shining Chakra condensed on the Hiramekarei and slammed into Ueharaâs body, instantly knocking Uehara away!
But he understood that just this style of swordsmanship was not enough!
Mangetsu quickly retracted his palm, pulled out the summon scroll beside him, and raised his fingers, âSummoning Jutsu, Bluntsword Kabutowari!â
Kabutowari looked very peculiar. It looked like an ax attached to a large mallet by a length of rope.
Mangetsu flew forward, grabbed the ax with one hand, and hit Ueharaâs body. His other hand grabbed the hammer end and slammed it on the back of the ax!
Kabutowari claimed to be powerful enough to break all defenses precisely because of its two parts. They could be used in conjunction to crack open any defense, like a hammer and chisel.
CRACK!
Kabutowari cut the yellow circular defensive grid!
Unlike last time, Ueharaâs body was sent flying. He couldnât stand the superposition of the ax and the hammerâs power!
The Spike Defensive reflection also damaged Mangetsuâs body. A mouthful of blood surged into his mouth, slowly flowing out from the corner of his mouthâŠ
âThis ninja sword⊠isnât it too noisy?â
Uehara stood up, patted mud off his body, and, ignoring his life energy consumption, pointed his finger at Kabutowari in Mangetsuâs hand, âA hammer and ax are not good enough. A scythe should accompany it!â
âWhat?â
Mangetsu gazed at Uehara suspiciously, ignoring his insane rambling. He was still shocked by the defense technique Uehara used.
âWhat the hell was that spherical yellow grid?â
âHow is the Kabutowari be unable to destroy his defenses?â
The Kabutowari in Mangetsuâs hand turned into smoke and dissipated. He quickly opened the scroll again and summoned another sword!
[Longsword · Nuibari.]
âI donât want this one!â
Ueharaâs voice entered Mangetsuâs ears, and he suddenly rushed to the enemyâs side, kicking away the ninja sword in his hand.
The Longsword in Mangetsuâs hand suddenly stopped despite being knocked away by Ueharaâs attack, the steel wire behind Nuibari had caught Ueharaâs ankle!
âHmph, this time, you canât escape!â
Mangetsu brandished the Nuibari and stabbed the sharp and slender ninja sword into a big tree. The steel wire attached to the sword handle wrapped around Ueharaâs body and tied him tightly to the tree!
He truly was a genius who was proficient with all seven swords.
No matter how strangely shaped the sword was, Mangetsu could use it easily and at the most suitable time.
Mangetsu looked at the bound Uehara, stretched out his left hand, and shouted in a low voice, âWater-Release Arm!â
With a shout, Mangetsuâs arms became visibly thicker!
This was one of the Hohzuki clanâs Secret Jutsus. It could concentrate the water throughout their body into their arm, thereby enhancing any attacks using it.
Mangetsu glanced at the other battlefield, Zabuza lurked in the mist and entangled Kisame, so it seemed like he didnât need to use his sword.
âZabuza senior, the Kubikiribocho, let me use it!â
Mangetsu quickly clasped his hands and formed seals before spreading out his hands, âSummoning JutsuâŠSeversword·Kubikiribocho!â â
âScoundrel, give me more warning!â
Zabuza cursed while hidden in the fog. Ultimately, he had no objections as he also secretly observed Uehara and Mangetsuâs battle.
Although these two twelve or thirteen-year-old demons did not use any powerful ninjutsu with insane power, just the taijutsu confrontation between them was extremely intense!
Every time Zabuza thought that Uehara was going to die, he used a defense technique to block it, then heâd just casually brush off the dust and continue the fightâŠ
On the other hand, Mangetsu, who was actively attacking, suffered many internal injuries. The little demon Ueharaâs defensive technique was simply outrageous!
Seeing Mangetsu manage to seize a chance to win, Zabuza realized that he had to support him, not to mention merely borrowing his Kubikiribocho once.
Only Kubikiribocho could cut through his defense!
ButâŠ
Zabuza thought of Ueharaâs weird technique formula, loudly said, âBe careful! That guy seems to have a technique that makes him invulnerable. Itâs stronger than the yellow defensive technique youâve faced up to nowâŠâ
However, Zabuzaâs reminder was too late!
After borrowing Kubikiribocho via Summoning Jutsu, Mangetsu didnât want to miss his opportunity. Holding on to the handle of the Kubikiribocho moved towards Uehara, hacking towards him!
A dazzling golden shell emerged around Uehara.
The golden light filled Mangetsuâs vision as the light reflected off the Kubikiribocho into Kisame and Zabuzaâs eyesâŠ
Having fought with Uehara, Kisame, and Zabuza, they knew how powerful the golden shell wasâŠ
A single thought emerged in their minds.
âMangetsu will die.â
Will all seven Swordsmen of the Mist lose to Uehara?â
Uehara, bathed in golden light, calmly received the Kubikiribocho.
On top of the invincible shell created by the Moment of Sacred Judgment, Uehara created a spiked yellow grid as he prepared to face the Kubikiribocho head-on.
BOOM!
Countless blades of wind flew out!
Mangetsu, holding Kubikiribocho, reached Ueharaâs first layer of defense, where he encountered a huge reflective force, causing the entire blade to break!
Even the sharp Kubikiribocho broke so, unsurprisingly, Mangetsuâs body was even worse off. The force of the shock injured his whole body. The genius ninja of the Kirigakure spewed out blood as uncountable numbers of bones brokeâŠ
Uehara opened his eyes and looked down at Mangetsu, lying on the ground, suffering a severe injury. He tilted his head, âHuh, I didnât do anything. Why did you fall over?â
ââŠâ
Mangetsu turned his head and looked down. He felt like he had been hit with Genjutsu. How could the Kubikiribocho only have a handle left?
Clenching his teeth, he stopped hesitating.
âWater-Release ·Hydrification Cure!â
