The Outrageously Strong Boy

Chapter 41 The Outrageously Strong Boy

The swordplay clash between Zabuza Momochi and Kisame Hoshigaki was far less intense than the battle between Naraku Uehara and Mangetsu Hozuki, and did not resemble the fighting between twelve or thirteen-year-old boys at all.

Hozuki Mangetsu swung his Hiramekarei sword down, leaving a deep trench in the ground with murderous intent, but the blade struck a yellow circular defensive net!

It was Uehara's defensive stance, tightly wrapping around his body, with sharp spikes even protruding from the intersections of the mesh!

"Is that all?"

A smile appeared on Uehara's lips. The defensive stance of Spiked Defense, the reward skill he had just obtained from defeating the Three-Tails, was enough for him to withstand the enemy's swordsmanship in this battle.

Unless he encounters Might Guy from Konoha, his taijutsu is more than enough to put him on par with most ninjas today.

Hozuki Mangetsu looked at the smile on Uehara Naraku's face, twisted his wrist, and a gas emanated from the eyes of the Hiramekarei ninja sword, enveloping the entire sword!

"Hirame Flounder - Liberation!"

Hozuki Mangetsu let out a cold, sharp shout, and Hiramekarei slammed towards Uehara!

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of chakra suddenly condensed from the Hiramekarei sword and struck Uehara Naraku's body, instantly sending him flying!

This sword technique alone is not enough!

Hozuki Mangetsu swiftly withdrew his hand, unfurled the summoning scroll beside him, and raised his finger: "Summoning Jutsu, Blunt Blade - Helmeppo!"

The appearance of the blunt sword Helmet is very peculiar. One end is a ninja sword that looks quite like an axe, and the other end is a hammer!

Hozuki Mangetsu leaped forward, grabbed the ninja sword with one hand and slashed at Uehara Naraku; with his other hand, he picked up a hammer and smashed it against the back of the sword!

The blunt blade, known as the Helmet Slash, is said to be able to break through any defense because it combines two forces when it strikes an enemy.

Clang!

The blunt blade, Helmet Slash, struck the yellow circular defense grid once again!

This time, however, Uehara Naraku's body was propelled backward by the force of the impact, and the combined force of the two forces made him somewhat unable to withstand it!

Hozuki Mangetsu's body was also injured by the recoil from the spiked defense, and a mouthful of blood welled up at the corner of his mouth, slowly flowing out from the gap...

"This ninja sword...it's so noisy!"

Uehara Naraku stood up, dusted himself off, ignored his depleted life energy, and pointed at Hozuki Mangetsu's hexadecimal: "A hammer and an axe don't really go well together; a scythe is the way to go!"

"What?"

Hozuki Mangetsu stared at Uehara with suspicion and disbelief, ignoring his ravings, still reeling from the defensive technique Uehara had just used.

What exactly is that yellow spherical grid?

Even a blunt sword like Helmeppo couldn't break through his defense?

Hozuki Mangetsu's Kabuto-giri turned into smoke and dissipated. His hand quickly flipped open the scroll and summoned another ninja sword!

Long knife and sewing needle.

"This isn't the one I want!"

Uehara Naraku's voice reached Hozuki Mangetsu's ears, and he instantly darted to the enemy's side, about to kick the ninja sword out of his hand.

Hozuki Mangetsu suddenly raised his long sword, dodging Uehara's attack, and then the steel wire on the back of the long sword, Sewing Needle, suddenly wrapped around Uehara's ankle!

"Hmph, this time, you won't escape!"

Hozuki Mangetsu swung his hand and threw his long sword, Sewing Needle. The sharp, slender ninja sword pierced deeply into a large tree, and the steel wire on the hilt wrapped around and bound Uehara's body, tightly binding him to the tree!

He truly deserves to be called a genius ninja who is proficient in all seven ninja swords.

Hozuki Mangetsu could use almost every oddly shaped ninja sword in a variety of ways, and at the most opportune moment.

Hozuki Mangetsu looked at the bound Uehara Naraku, extended his left hand, and whispered, "Water Release: Great Water Arm Technique!"

Hozuki Mangetsu's arms visibly grew thicker!

This is a secret technique of the Hozuki clan, which allows them to concentrate all the body's moisture in their arms, thereby enhancing the strength of their wrists.

Hozuki Mangetsu glanced at the battlefield on the other side. Momochi Zabuza was lurking in the mist, entangled with Hoshigaki Kisame. It seemed that he didn't need to use his ninja sword now.

"Senior Zabuza, lend me your Executioner's Blade!"

Hozuki Mangetsu swiftly formed hand seals and then opened his palms: "Summoning Jutsu... Broken Sword - Executioner's Blade!"

"You brat, take it!"

Zabuza Momochi, hidden in the mist, cursed but ultimately did not voice his objection. He also secretly observed the battlefield between Uehara and Hozuki Mangetsu.

Although these two twelve- or thirteen-year-old kids didn't use any powerful ninjutsu, their taijutsu clash was incredibly fierce to watch!

Every time Zabuza Momochi thought Naraku Uehara was doomed, but every time Uehara used a defensive technique to withstand the attack, he would simply dust himself off and get back up...

On the contrary, Hozuki Mangetsu, who took the initiative to attack, had already suffered a lot of internal injuries. That brat named Uehara Naraku's defensive techniques were ridiculously strong!

Just how afraid of death is this kid?

While he doesn't possess many powerful offensive ninjutsu, he is quite skilled at using defensive ninjutsu!

Now that Hozuki Mangetsu has once again seized a chance to win, Momochi Zabuza will definitely support him, especially since it's just a matter of lending him the Executioner's Blade once.

Only a decapitation sword can cut through everything!

but…

Zabuza Momochi, recalling Naraku Uehara's strange technique, shouted, "Be careful! This guy seems to be able to use a completely immune defensive ninjutsu, even stronger than that yellow defensive technique from before..."

However, Zabuza's warning was too late!

After Hozuki Mangetsu borrowed the Executioner's Blade using his summoning technique, he had no intention of missing this rare opportunity. He gripped the blade tightly and swung it toward Uehara Naraku's head!

A dazzling golden light shield emerged from Shangyuan's body.

The golden light entered Hozuki Mangetsu's vision and was also reflected by the sharp, smooth Executioner's Blade into the vision of Kisame and Zabuza...

As ninjas who had fought against Uehara Naraku, Kisame Hoshigaki and Zabuza knew just how powerful the golden light barrier was...

A thought involuntarily surfaced in both of their minds: Is Hozuki Mangetsu in trouble? Are the Seven Ninja Swordsmen going to lose to Uehara?

Bathed in golden light, Uehara Naraku calmly faced the guillotine.

Outside of the invincible light shield of the Holy Judgment, Uehara laid down another layer of yellow spiked defense, thus directly meeting the blade of the decapitation sword.

boom!

Countless blades flew everywhere!

The moment Hozuki Mangetsu touched Uehara Naraku's first layer of defense with his Executioner's Blade, he encountered a tremendous rebound force, completely destroying the blade!

Even the sharpest guillotine was affected, so Hozuki Mangetsu's body was even weaker. He was injured by the recoil, and the genius ninja from Kirigakure coughed up a mouthful of blood, with countless bones broken...

Uehara Naraku opened his eyes, looked down at Hozuki Mangetsu lying on the ground, severely injured, and tilted his head, saying, "Ha, I haven't even made a move yet, how did you fall down?"

"..."

Hozuki Mangetsu turned his head to look down, and saw that only the hilt of the guillotine in his hand remained, making him wonder if he was under a spell.

But the situation left him no room for hesitation.

"Water Release: Water Healing!"
