Chapter 82 - Creating the Strongest Combat Power in the Mist Ninja Village
The Three-Tails Isobu raised its head and glanced contemptuously at Utakata, who now appeared taller than it. Although this state was somewhat awkward, it could only be like this for now.
It was not that it did not want to become larger, but remembering what Yuto had said, the Three-Tails Isobu shrank its neck... it was just afraid of being beaten.
The Three-Tails Isobu crawled arrogantly to Utakata's feet and patted Utakata's toe lightly. A weak stream of chakra directly entered Utakata's body.
Seeing the Three-Tails Isobu's action, Utakata froze for a moment. However, after realizing he was fine, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Inside Utakata's consciousness.
The Six-Tails Saiken, who had originally curled into a ball, suddenly had two sub-eyes drill out from its body to look outside the seal.
Isobu!
The Six-Tails Saiken was somewhat dazed and did not react for a moment.
What happened? Why would Isobu appear here?
Seeing Saiken's dazed look inside the seal, a smug smile flashed in the Three-Tails Isobu's eyes.
For this group of Tailed Beasts, seeing other Tailed Beasts in a more miserable state than themselves was the happiest thing.
"Yo, Saiken, long time no see."
The Three-Tails Isobu mimicked Yuto's tone and spoke smugly.
Before Yuto even got close to the training field, he heard the sounds of fierce weapon collisions coming from within.
At this moment, on the training field, Momochi Zabuza was fighting Hozuki Suigetsu.
As for the others, they stayed outside the training field, watching the battle in the arena with faces full of excitement.
It had to be said that among the Five Great Ninja Villages, the Cloud Ninja Village and the Mist Ninja Village were relatively warlike ninja villages.
The Cloud Ninja Village was a militant ninja village; it was a world belonging to muscular men.
As for the Mist Ninja Village, they were ruthless enough to cut down their own people, so one could imagine.
The battle at this moment was drawing to a close. Although Hozuki Suigetsu possessed the Hydrification Technique as support, he was completely inferior to Zabuza in terms of both experience and overall strength.
Even though Hozuki Suigetsu held the Blunt Sword: Kabutowari, a weapon that had a certain restraining effect on the Severing Sword: Kubikiribōchō, he was still not Zabuza's opponent.
Seeing the scene before him, a trace of a smile flashed in Yuto's eyes. It seemed Hozuki Suigetsu had already given up on the idea of the Kubikiribōchō.
Otherwise, with this guy's personality, if he had not given up, he probably would absolutely not take the Blunt Sword: Kabutowari.
Now, five of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen had been gathered.
Severing Sword: Kubikiribōchō — Momochi Zabuza.
Blast Sword: Shibuki — Ranmaru.
Blunt Sword: Kabutowari — Hozuki Suigetsu.
Thunder Swords: Kiba — Ringo Ameyuri.
Twin Sword: Hiramekarei — Chojuro.
Only the Great Sword: Samehada, currently in Hoshigaki Kisame's hands, and the Long Sword: Nuibari, which temporarily had no user, remained.
As for the user of the Long Sword: Nuibari, Yuto already had a very good candidate, it was just that this person was not in the Mist Ninja Village.
Bang!
A muffled sound came from the center of the training field. Hozuki Suigetsu was slapped away by a single blow from Momochi Zabuza.
Hozuki Suigetsu defeated!
"As expected of Senior Zabuza."
Rubbing his somewhat numb arm, Hozuki Suigetsu spoke with a bitter smile.
Standing to one side, Ringo Ameyuri revealed some sharp little teeth and looked at Momochi Zabuza.
Clearly, the next match should be a duel between Ringo Ameyuri and Zabuza.
"Lord Yuto!"
Kimimaro appeared beside Yuto and spoke respectfully.
Accompanying the sound of Kimimaro's voice, everyone's gaze was instantly attracted.
Ringo Ameyuri froze for a moment, then hurriedly walked quickly towards Yuto with a face full of joy.
The others were not slow in their movements either; in less than a moment, they were already standing respectfully beside Yuto.
"Your body has recovered quite well, Kimimaro."
Yuto said with a smile, looking at Kimimaro's complexion.
After speaking, Yuto raised his head and scanned the crowd, a trace of doubt appearing in his eyes: "Where is Ranmaru?"
"That... um, Lord Yuto, Ranmaru was called away by Haruna."
Ringo Ameyuri's cheeks reddened, speaking somewhat embarrassedly.
Haruna?
Hearing this name, the image of that little girl with a greasy mouth immediately floated in Yuto's mind. It had to be said that this little girl had left quite a deep impression on Yuto.
Yuto waved his hand at Ringo Ameyuri, indicating he did not mind.
Ranmaru's age was not old, about the same as Haruna. If Ranmaru could find a friend in the Mist Ninja Village, in Yuto's view, it was also something worth being happy about.
Moreover, as peers, that little girl Haruna possessed some petty cleverness. Ranmaru might be able to learn something from Haruna; who knew, it might be helpful for future battles.
This thought flashed through Yuto's mind in an instant.
He raised his head to look at the members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen before him, as well as Kimimaro and Haku. The following matters did not have much to do with Ranmaru anyway.
"Except for Ranmaru, since everyone is here, there is no need to speak to you one by one."
Yuto's voice entered everyone's ears, making everyone's expression turn solemn.
Clearly, Lord Yuto had something important to say.
"The power contained in Ranmaru's body, I assume everyone has witnessed it."
Yuto looked at the crowd who had suddenly become serious and said with a smile.
Zabuza's eyelids twitched slightly. His mind instantly recalled the impressive, berserk power of Ranmaru.
simply put, after Momochi Zabuza returned to the village and learned that there was actually a child among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, one could imagine his mood at the time.
In Momochi Zabuza's view, the title of "Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist" was not to be profaned. Therefore, Momochi Zabuza naturally fought a battle with Ranmaru.
The result, however, was somewhat unimaginable for Momochi Zabuza.
Ranmaru was the most difficult ninja Momochi Zabuza had encountered so far. Momochi Zabuza would even rather challenge two Hatake Kakashis than deal with an opponent like Ranmaru again.
Formidable power and impeccable speed; once getting close to Ranmaru, Momochi Zabuza was almost crushed. So-called techniques were useless in the face of absolute power and speed.
If not relying on rich experience, Momochi Zabuza probably could not even last ten moves. The Mist Assassination Technique was completely countered by Ranmaru's Red Eye.
Defensive and restraining ninjutsu were almost useless. Relying on the powerful explosive force of the Blast Sword: Shibuki, such ninjutsu were directly blasted open by Ranmaru.
And with Ranmaru's tough body, there was no need to worry about the impact of the explosive force.
Among the current five Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the strongest was actually the youngest brat.
This was simply a blow to the arrogant Zabuza and Ringo Ameyuri. Even Chojuro, who always had a laid-back mentality, was stimulated by Ranmaru to start training.
This was also the main reason they stayed in the training field all along.
The expressions of everyone were reflected in Yuto's eyes, making the smile in Yuto's eyes deepen.
What he needed was fighting spirit; only people full of fighting spirit could become strong. Yuto wanted to forge the "Seven Ninja Swordsmen" into the strongest combat power of the Mist Ninja Village.
The incident back then where half of them were wiped out in one breath by Guy's father had caused the entire Seven Ninja Swordsmen to lose all face.
