Chapter 226: Don’t Let Your Blood Dirty my Uniform!

Uehara greeted them warmly.

However, no one in Kirigakure dared to respond to his greeting, nor did they dare to relax. Everyone looked nervously at their figures.

There were only four people in Akatsuki’s organization.

However, these four people acted nothing in the face of the increasing number of Kiri Ninjas around them. They were not at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.

The Kiri Ninjas had the advantage in numbers, but they didn’t dare to move in the face of this group of Akatsuki members. This was because they had heard that the other big country, Sunagakure, had been attacked by them and the entire village had turned into ruins.

Every Kiri Ninja couldn’t help but start to restrain their breathing. Looking at the four figures in the black robes, they didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.

As the higher-ups of Kirigakure, Ao was the first to arrive at the scene.

His eyes swept over Akatsuki’s four members, and his face became more and more ugly. He recalled the information he got from Konoha about Akatsuki.

“Iwagakure S-class traitor Deidara”

Ao looked at the golden-haired ninja who was the most arrogant among the four Akatsuki members and his expression became more and more serious, “Deidara, participated in Akatsuki’s attack on Sunagakure and personally captured Fifth Kazekage Gaara.”

This person was not easy to deal with.

Ao looked away from Deidara and slowly turned to look at the red-haired teenager, “Sunagakure S-class traitor, participated in Akatsuki’s attack on Sunagakure and once destroy a country by himself…”

This guy was even harder to deal with.

As Ao, who had participated in the great war in the Ninja World before, he was very clear about how many casualties a Puppet Master of Sasori’s level could cause on the battlefield.

Ao’s gaze shifted from Sasori to Zabuza, and his expression turned even uglier, “Zabuza, an S-class traitor of Kirigakure. The murderer who killed Fourth Mizukage-sama, and the hero who ended the Blood Mist Era…”

To be honest.

Kirigakure had a good impression of Zabuza.

Although Zabuza killed Fourth Mizukage Yagura, it also ended Kirigakure’s bloody mist era, and thus opened a new chapter for Kirigakure.

In the end, Zabuza actually defected.

Not only that, but the three ninjas of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen that Kirigakure only had at that time all defected. Apart from Terumi, he could not find any powerful combat strength in the village.

Just…

It was quite surprising.

Ao’s gaze finally stopped on the last member of Akatsuki. He saw that the member had a hat that cover his face. This was one of the publicly recognized strongest members of Akatsuki.

Anyone who wore a hat was undoubtedly the strongest.

“Byakugan – Open!”

Ao’s eyes suddenly changed. He opened his eyes and stared at the figure, “Let me see who you are… This is…”

“Kill him.”

A cold voice appeared in the ears of everyone.

The ninja wearing hat slowly stretched out his finger and pointed at Ao who had opened Byakugan.

It was Uehara.

He almost forgot that there was a hidden Byakugan ninja inside Kirigakure.

If Ao could see through his concealment, wouldn’t his concealment be meaningless? Uehara simply stretched out his hand and commanded the Ancient Dragon to launch an attack!

“Roar!”

In the next moment, the Ancient Dragon in the sky opened its mouth and spat out a huge fireball at Ao’s area. It descended from the sky and landed directly in a group of Kiri Ninjas!

One by one, the Kiri Ninjas panicked and wanted to avoid the huge fireball!

As the fireball in the sky gradually grew larger in their field of vision, a few Jonin Ninjas roared madly to make their subordinates react, “Everyone, immediately release Water Colliding Wave ninjutsu above your heads!”

“Suiton: Suishōha (Water Release: Water Colliding Wave)!”

Every Kiri Ninja who had time to react immediately closed their palms and opened their mouths to spew out a huge stream of water into the air. Each stream of water quickly rose into the air and formed a huge waterfall in the sky!

At this moment, they no longer cared about how much damage the waterfall above them would cause.

They only cared about being able to block the huge fireball falling from the sky!

Obviously, at this moment, the ninjutsu released by hundreds of Kiri Ninjas was successful. The huge waterfall formed a barrier and blocked the fireball coming from the sky!

The fireball spewed out by the ancient dragon in the air was surrounded by endless water. The fireball gradually evaporate the water and turned into steam in the air…

All the Kiri Ninjas finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They blocked the attack of the monster that Akatsuki had organized.

If that fireball were to land, the number of people who could survive would definitely be counted on one hand, and this area would definitely be reduced to ashes.

Uehara watched this scene, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face under his hat. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, “Heh… blocked it?”

“Hahahaha…”

Deidara looked at the group of Kiri Ninja who gradually relaxed and could not help but let out a burst of wild laughter, “What a bunch of naive fellows! You actually think that our summoned beast can only spit out one fireball?”

“Don’t be too harsh.”

Uehara smiled and continued, “After all, this is a remote and backward village. It is inevitable that their information will lag behind. They are just some frogs locked at the bottom of the well…”

“Humph!”

Zabuza could not help but snort coldly.

This was the embarrassing part of Akatsuki’s organization. Every time they laughed at a village, there would be a companion next to them who was a ninja from this village.

However, Zabuza did not say anything else. Because according to his understanding of Akatsuki, their organization was very cautious. The four members of the two teams were enough to pose a strong threat to a big country’s Ninja Village. This was not something that Kirigakure could block!

“Roar!”

The ancient dragon in the air suddenly descended rapidly towards the ground. It began to glide along Kirigakure and fiery fireballs constantly spewed out from its mouth. This made all the Kiri Ninjas feel despair!

Those huge fireballs landed on Kirigakure, and in the blink of an eye, this village, which was famous for its water ninjutsu, turned into a sea of fire!

The Kiri Ninjas panicked and dodged, or released those simple water ninjutsu to resist, but the ninjutsu they released was completely useless, and simply could not block the fireballs falling from the sky!

“Suiton, Suiryūdan no Jutsu(Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique)!”

A clear female voice shouted!

A water dragon suddenly rose up from somewhere in Kirigakure and bit towards the ancient dragon in the air, causing the ancient dragon to subconsciously dodge and give up on attacking!

That was the water ninjutsu of Fifth Mizukage, Terumi!

Even if the vitality of the ancient dragon was strong, it could not ignore the impact of the water dragon jutsu. Especially that woman, Terumi, a double Bloodline Limit ninja!

Each of them could pose a certain threat to the ancient dragon…

Acid was much stronger than those physical attacks!

This was Uehara’s most beloved mount. In a while, he would have to take Sanbi away. How could he let it get hurt?

Uehara raised his eyebrows and looked at the Kiri Ninjas and Ao who were fleeing everywhere. He whispered, “Tsk, it’s really troublesome. If you reveal my secret, it will be very troublesome!”

“Is it Ao?”

Zabuza grinned and couldn’t help but laugh, “Can a Byakugan make you so scared?”

“Yes.”

Uehara did not deny it, but the next moment, his words made Zabuza’s face change, “If he leaks my identity, I can only destroy the entire Kirigakure and kill all of Kirigakure’s ninjas so that they won’t leak my secret… Zabuza-san, will you be willing to help me kill Ao and keep this secret?”

Uehara knew Zabuza very well.

This guy had actually been unwilling to submit to others.

Out of the four Seven Ninja Swordsmen in Akatsuki’s organization, only Zabuza refused to join Uehara’s side. It was because he still had ambitions that did not match his strength.

However, the strength of Akatsuki’s organization was too strong now, which made Zabuza put away his thoughts of betrayal.

If Akatsuki’s organization was going to die, Uehara did not doubt that Zabuza would immediately betray Akatsuki’s organization and return to Kirigakure to be Kirigakure’s hero.

“I will kill him!”

Deidara waved his hand and threw down his giant clay bird. He was about to step on the giant bird to chase after Ao, lest that guy leaks any news!

Zabuza gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, “I’ll go too!”

If Kirigakure was destroyed, how could his ambition to control Kirigakure, which he had been suppressing in his heart, be realized?

Uehara watched as Zabuza pulled out the broadsword on his back. He chuckled and said, “It’s good if Zabuza-san has the heart. However, that guy can’t escape!”

Uehara suddenly closed his palm and said in a low voice, “In this village that is suitable for water combat, of course, we have to let the water Summoned Beast to come! Kuchiyose!”

A tall figure appeared in the middle of the Summoning Seal beside Uehara. It was Uehara’s other Summoned Beast – Deep Sea Titan!

“As you wish.”

A huge anchor hook suddenly shot out, smashing towards Ao as if it had no limit. This attack caught Ao off guard, making it impossible for him to dodge. He only watched in surprise as his body was hooked by an anchor!

The next second, Ao’s body was quickly dragged back!

Ao’s body seemed to be out of control. There was no way he could take any measures. Even if he wanted to release a Body Substitution Technique, it was too late. Under the pull of that huge force, his body was instantly seriously injured!

This captain of Kirigakure’s investigation team was hooked back by the anchor just like that. By the time Ao reacted, he had already landed at the feet of the Deep Sea Titan. His chest and abdomen were stained with blood that had been seriously injured by the anchor.

Uehara slowly squatted down and looked down at Ao beneath his feet. He smiled and said, “Your Byakugan discovered my identity, didn’t you?”

“… Yes.”

Ao’s body trembled slightly. He looked at Uehara who was wearing a hat with an ugly expression and slowly nodded.

Uehara gently clapped and whispered, “If you reveal my identity, the entire Kirigakure will be destroyed by me. All the Kiri Ninja and villagers who know about it will be killed by me. What will you do now?”

“You…”

Ao’s face instantly paled.

Uehara pointed at the Ancient Dragon soaring in the air and continued with a smile, “Don’t think that I am lying. It is the one who destroyed the entire Sunagakure. Why don’t we take a guess? Can it destroy Kirigakure?”

“…”

Ao’s forehead was covered in sweat.

There was no doubt that the ancient dragon in the air was too powerful. If it continuously spewed out huge fireballs, the entire Kirigakure might be destroyed.

This guy did not lie to him.

Ao clenched his teeth and asked directly, “I want to know why you joined Akatsuki. If I remember correctly, your identity is also very famous in the whole Ninja World.

Even the Five Great Ninja Villages do not dare to ignore your existence. There are even people who call you the next Ninja Demigod. Now it seems that they have underestimated you”

“We are not talking about that thing.”

Uehara’s voice suddenly became low. He said coldly, “What you need to do now is to prove to me that you won’t reveal your secret. So let me be a little more merciful and let the entire Kirigakure go.”

“…”

Ao fell silent again.

After a long silence, he slowly raised his head, and a look of determination appeared on his face, “Kill me!”

“Not enough.”

Uehara raised a finger and shook it. He chuckled, “Give me your eyes and prove me how to keep a secret. I can forgive you for spying on me.”

“…”

Ao fell silent once again.

Only the dead could keep secrets.

This Akatsuki had too many requirements.

Originally, he was a talkative elder in Kirigakure, but in front of Uehara, he kept silent two or three times.

Deidara held his forehead and smiled. He said to Uehara, “I finally understand why the leader values you so much. You are destined to be Akatsuki’s leader! Even that bastard Hidan is not as cruel and bloody as you!”

“Sigh, I am flattered.”

Uehara shook his head, looked down at Ao, and said, “Now, tell me your choice!”

“Let go of Ao!”

Just as Uehara was still forcing Ao, a tall female ninja came with a group of Kiri reinforcements!

It was Kirigakure’s most powerful ninja, Terumi.

Obviously, she had heard everything from the Anbu beside her on the way here. At this moment, when she saw Ao beside Uehara, she immediately opened her mouth to stop him.

Uehara ignored Terumi, who had rushed over to support. He just lowered his head and continued to look at Ao, “Before she rushes to our side, it is your last time. Make your choice. I will be soft-hearted because of your active cooperation…”

“I understand.”

Ao slowly closed his palm and made a hand seal.

When Deidara and Sasori wanted to kill Ao directly, Uehara stopped them, “Sasori-senpai, Deidara, I believe he will make the best choice. A sacrifice for the village is glory for a ninja.”

Uehara was right.

After making the hand seal, Ao slowly removed his eyepatch, because there was a protective seal on the eyepatch.

After all, his Byakugan was the only one in the entire Ninja World other than the Hyuga clan, and also the most difficult to obtain. In terms of strategic significance, it was extraordinary for the five great countries ninja villages. Kirigakure also obtained it by chance.

All the Kiri Ninjas who tried to follow Terumi to rescue Ao involuntarily stopped because they saw a scene that made the entire Kirigakure grieve.

The elder in their village…

The nagging squad leader in their village…

The highly respected Senpai in their village surrendered to the enemy.

Ao slowly took off his eyepatch and forcefully pluck off his eyes, then handed it to the member of Akatsuki who was wearing a hat like a saint.

No, to be more precise, it should be a sacrifice to the devil, right?

After all, Akatsuki was so evil…

Ao disregarded the blood flowing from his eyes that he had forcefully plucked off. He slowly handed the Byakugan in his hand to Uehara and softly pleaded, “If I do as you say, you promise me that you will let Kirigakure go, right?”

“Yes.”

Uehara stretched out his hand and took the Byakugan. He said softly, “There is another thing. Help me keep my secret…”

“Hehe…”

Ao laughed bitterly. He slowly stood up and reached out to grab a Kunai behind him. He said in a low voice, “I know. I will keep the secret like this…”

The next moment, just as Akatsuki’s members thought that Ao would be forced to commit suicide by Uehara, Ao suddenly stretched out his hand and stabbed at Uehara’s heart!

His movements were too fast!

Even Deidara and Sasori, who were close to him, did not have time to react!

I have to say that after getting Byakugan, Ao practiced ninjutsu related to it. This assassination almost reached the fastest speed in his life!

However, Uehara was even faster!

The life energy of more than two hundred thousand made Uehara react almost instantly. He twisted Ao’s wrist and took the Kunai in his hand!

Whoosh!

Uehara grabbed the Kunai and waved it violently. After cutting Ao’s throat and before his blood could spurt out, he kicked him away, “This is my favorite uniform. Don’t let your blood dirty it, you treacherous villain.”

At this moment, the villain’s evil temperament was a bit too much.
