Behind the Scenes in Naruto World

Chapter 63: Formation of Teams!

Sasori was really strange.

Although his real body looked handsome, he was hidden in an ugly puppet that also insulted his own aesthetics!

Zabuza was furious. He grabbed his Kubikiribocho and glared at Sasori, “Bastard, what did you say!”

Sasori sneered, “I said that you’re too ugly…”

Pain, standing on the fingers of the Gedo Mazo, interrupted the Sasori loudly, and he continued coldly, “Every member must have a partner. This is not something you decide!”

Sasori, hearing Pain, stopped speaking.

Zetsu spoke from next to Pain, “It doesn’t matter if Sasori was unwilling. I’ve found someone suitable to be his partner.”

During this period, Zetsu had not idled.

Even if the Akatsuki expelled Uchiha Obito, it did not affect his level of dedication.

To realize the Eye of the Moon Plan, the Akatsuki needed enough manpower. Thus Zetsu constantly tried to find more powerful ninjas.

It just so happens that Zetsu found a genius ninja who was expelled from the Iwagakure. Aside from his temperament, he was really powerful.

“Then send a team with Sasori to find him after the teams are assigned then!”

Pain nodded and agreed to Zetsu’s suggestion, then looked at Uehara, “Uehara, introduce the newcomers to everyone!”

Uehara stopped the irritable Zabuza and said softly, “This was Momochi Zabuza, one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist and the current holder of the Kubikiribocho. The previous holder of the Kubikiribocho was Itachi-san partner, Biwa Juzo-senpai.”

Hearing the name Biwa Juzo, Itachi slowly raised his head, and looked at the Kubikiribocho in Zabuza’s hand, and lowered his head again.

With his identity as the holder of the Kubikiribocho and the person who killed the Fourth Mizukage, Itachi would not mind being his partner.

After all, the previous bearer of the Kubikiribocho, Biwa Juzo, had sacrificed himself to save his life.

Uehara stretched out his finger, pointed at Mangetsu behind him, and continued softly, “This is Hozuki Mangetsu. At the age of thirteen, he became one of the Seven Swordsmen the Mist. He is as much of a genius as Itachi-san…”

After finished speaking, Uehara laughed wickedly, “It’s also interesting. There are also only two clansmen left in the Hozuki clan within Kirigakure. Mangetsu also has a younger brother who hates him deeply…”

Everyone present suddenly became interested.

Kakuzu even said without hesitation, “Did this brat named Hozuki Mangetsu also kill his whole family?”

Uehara shook his head and said, “That’s was not the case. The demise of the Hozuki clan was due to the persecution of the Fourth Mizukage Yagura.”

Pain asked the question that he cared most about, “Uehara, are you be sure he’s not a spy from the Kirigakure?”

Uehara glanced at Mangetsu. After seeing this, Mangetsu nodded. Uehara smiled and said, “What Mangetsu wants most was to revive the Hozuki clan. When his brother grows up, he will use his younger brother’s hatred and became the whetstone for his brother’s growth…”

While saying that, Uehara looked at the faces of the people present and continued softly, “This secret is enough to force him onto our side, and I don’t think that my senpais would target Hozuki Suigetsu since you don’t want to miss a brother’s fight, right? Wouldn’t it a be a good show?”

The other people also nodded. These people were not interested in a declining clan revival.

But if one day, they encountered Hozuki Suigetsu, they would not choose to kill him.

A scene of brothers fighting each other was worth seeing.

Only Itachi’s expression changed slightly, and then it returned to normal.

If possible, Itachi wanted to scold them right now. Why does Mangetsu’s story sound like what he wanted to do?

Someone soon discovered this issue.

Konan walked over and looked at Itachi and said, “Why does this newcomer’s story sound so similar to that of Uchiha Itachi?”

Uehara shook his head quickly and explained on behalf of Itachi, “He killed all his clan members with his own hands!”

Itachi was a little worried about being exposed, so he stretched out his hand and stroked his eye sockets and said in a deep voice, “I am different from Mangetsu-san. I’m just waiting for my brother to grow up so I can use his life to test my power.”

Mangetsu originally had good feelings for Itachi, but after hearing his words, he suddenly became dissatisfied, “Would anyone want to kill his brother?”

Brothers were such cute creatures, yet he wants to kill one!

“It’s normal for us to think differently…”

Itachi raised his head coldly, staring at Mangetsu with scarlet eyes, and said, “I only hope to gain more power. I will not hesitate even if I have to sacrifice everything I have.”

Despite his tough words, it was obvious that Itachi was acting.

If someone really killed Uchiha Sasuke one day, would he hesitate to kill that person?

Mangetsu glanced at Itachi with disgust and said solemnly, “I don’t want to team up with this kind of person!”

Itachi lowered his head, hiding his eyes.

In his heart, Itachi preferred to have Mangetsu as his partner. The two of them must have a lot in common.

However, Itachi was worried about Mangetsu discovering his secret.

After all, both of them were bro-cons, so a single look might reveal his true attitude towards his brother.

Just when Uehara wanted to introduce Kisame, Zetsu suddenly inserted a sentence in, “In that case, can’t we make Hoshigaki Kisame, Itachi’s partner?”

This was his and Obito’s plan.

They had to find a way to form a team consisting of Hoshigaki Kisame and Uchiha Itachi to allow Kisame to monitor Itachi’s every move.

Uehara glanced at Zetsu in surprise and said softly, “Kisame-san was originally a teammate that the traitor Uchiha Obito prepared for Uchiha Itachi. I have some doubts about his loyalty, so I suggest that make him be an intern just like me for a while…”

If Black Zetsu insisted on the partnership between Kisame and Itachi, he would agree to it.

“I will be the one responsible for observing Kisame for a while within the Akatsuki.”

Zetsu immediately interrupted Uehara’s words and said in a deep voice, “Uchiha Obito must have deceived Kisame too. Kisame would never want to see that Uchiha Obito again, right?”

Kisame revealed his mouth full of shark teeth and said with a light smile, “If I ever meet that guy wearing a masked again, I will let him know the price of deceiving me!”

Uehara was silent for a while. He raised his head to look at Pain and suggested, “Then, according to senpai’s intention, will we make Momochi-san and Hozuki-san a team, and Hoshigaki-san and Uchiha-san a team?”

Pain didn’t care. He glanced at Kimimaro and Haku behind Uehara again and whispered, “Uehara, two brats you brought…”

Konan put his hand on Uehara’s shoulder and proposed, “It seems like these two little ghosts don’t have much combat power. They’ll accompany Naraku first!”
