"Alright, I don't want to waste any more time."
Uehara Naraku lifted Hoshigaki Kisame up, stared directly at him, and said, "Momochi Zabuza should be heading to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage now, but he definitely wouldn't have imagined that the Fourth Mizukage of The Hidden Mist Village has long been under Genjutsu control, right?"
Uehara Naraku refused to waste any more words, directly revealing Hoshigaki Kisame's biggest secret in his heart, and also betrayed Momochi Zabuza on the side. After all, there was no one else nearby, and no one knew what Momochi Zabuza was going to do.
The entire The Hidden Mist Village, from top to bottom, only Hoshigaki Kisame himself knew the truth that the Fourth Yagura was controlled by Genjutsu, and he even served the person who controlled the Mizukage.
Uehara Naraku looked at Hoshigaki Kisame word by word and continued in a low voice, "That guy claims to be Uchiha Madara... right?"
"…"
Hoshigaki Kisame's eyes bulged out, hardly able to believe what he was seeing as he looked at Uehara Naraku. He couldn't imagine that Uehara Naraku knew so much. Indeed, the person who controlled the Fourth Mizukage claimed to Hoshigaki Kisame that he was Uchiha Madara.
Since Uehara mentioned Madara's name, it's basically certain that he actually knows The Hidden Mist Village's affairs completely.
Hoshigaki Kisame calmed his expression and said calmly, "Since you already know so much, what do you want to get from me? It sounds like you know that person's identity?"
"That's right."
Uehara Naraku raised an eyebrow and said in a low voice, "He's been deceiving you all along. You just heard, his real name is Uchiha Obito, and before he was just a Chunin from Konoha!
After awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, he relied on Dojutsu to claim to be Uchiha Madara, deceiving the Ninja World, spreading his evil thoughts… like the Eye of the Moon Plan?"
"…"
Hoshigaki Kisame's heart skipped a beat, and then slowly settled down.
With the masked man's real identity exposed, that so-called Eye of the Moon Plan couldn't be hidden from others.
Kisame's heart felt an underlying fear.
When he first saw Uchiha 'Madara' revealing that he had been secretly controlling the Fourth Mizukage, Kisame knew he was the biggest mastermind in The Hidden Mist Village.
However, the young Uehara Naraku before him seemed to know everything in detail!
This twelve-year-old boy seemed more like the real mastermind compared to the fake 'Madara.'
Hoshigaki Kisame felt that the world seemed somewhat unworthy, this world always deceived him.
Every time he thought he understood part of the truth, another layer of mist would unveil, making him realize his ignorance and insignificance.
But now, there's another opportunity to unveil the truth!
Although behind Uehara's so-called truth, there are surely countless concealed things!
Hoshigaki Kisame contemplated for a while, lifted his head and looked firmly at Uehara Naraku, showing his full set of shark teeth: "Then can you tell me what exactly the truth behind the Eye of the Moon Plan is?"
"Do you really want to know?"
Uehara Naraku looked at him with a half-smile before purchasing an equipment called Dark Spear from his brain's system shop and tossed it to the ground: "If you truly want to know, pick up this Dark Spear and sign a Soul Contract with me!"
Dark Spear: Initiate a cooperation agreement with others through the Dark Spear. If they accept the agreement, the Dark Spear will enter their body, binding their soul. If they betray the contract, the betrayer's soul will be absorbed into the Dark Spear, strengthening its power. (Can only bind one person, can be actively dissolved)
"If it allows me to witness the true face of this world, death is just an insignificant price to pay."
Hoshigaki Kisame chuckled softly, without any hesitation, as he bent down to grasp the Dark Spear on the ground, a gloomy green energy twined around his body, its other end connecting to Uehara Naraku's body.
Once the two men were enveloped by the gloomy green energy, a proud female voice entered their ears, akin to the sigh of a deity: "The oath has been signed."
After this Soul Contract was completed, Uehara Naraku discovered a state and skill automatically appeared on his system panel.
Dark Spear (Contracted):
Both parties' Life Energy +10% (Activated)
Both parties' Chakra Energy +10% (Activated)
Call of Destiny: If the contract is nearby, you can pull the contract holder towards you. The contractor becomes invincible and cannot be selected, lasting for 4 seconds. The duration is linked to Chakra consumption, and after the skill ends, you can throw the contract holder in any direction. The skill has a minimum consumption of 100 Chakra, with a cooldown of 120 seconds.
Both the increase in Life Energy and Chakra Energy and the Call of Destiny skill made Uehara Naraku feel like he profited greatly from this!
Uehara Naraku felt that Call of Destiny was more meant to protect Hoshigaki Kisame, now he kind of wanted to dissolve the Soul Contract with Hoshigaki Kisame and later let Konan bind with the Dark Spear.
Hoshigaki Kisame naturally knew nothing about all this, if he knew Uehara Naraku's thoughts, he might want to tear the contract apart on the spot...
Additionally, there were several side quests.
Side Quest: Acquire your first subordinate (1/1), the quest is complete, reward of 100 gold coins.
Side Quest: Acquire a subordinate with Kage-level Chakra Power (1/1), the quest is complete, reward of 1000 gold coins.
After seeing the quest rewards, Uehara Naraku felt like praising the system, not only did it make him instantly rich but also informed him of a fact.
Hoshigaki Kisame must have firmly chosen to become his subordinate, so the system judged him as Uehara's subordinate, this way he can rely on the system task panel to determine who really belongs to him.
After all, the person he previously thought to have successfully recruited, Haku, certainly didn't consider Uehara as his superior in his heart, or Haku might still see him as a buddy he begged for food with!
This feeling is kind of peculiar…
Uehara Naraku glanced at his gold coin balance, suppressing his inner joy, and swiftly purchased a piece of equipment he had long desired: a Heart of the Madman armor worth 2850 gold coins.
Madman's Armor:
Life Energy +800
Basic Life Recovery +200%
Skill Cooldown Reduction +10%
Passive Skill: When Life Energy reaches 3000 points, automatically activates the Heart of the Madman effect. If no damage is received within 6 seconds, recover 5% of max Life Energy per second. (Activated)
After obtaining this equipment, Uehara Naraku felt considerable relief, although he has The Moment of Holy Judgment's Invincible Skill, this skill has a cooldown, yet the presence of Madman's Armor provided him with more security.
Uehara Naraku glanced at his attributes and inexplicably felt he had reached the peak of his life.
Life Energy: 3301 (Standard Kage-level 3000~10000)
Chakra Energy: 3575 (Standard Kage-level 3000~10000)
Life Energy Recovery: 6 points/second
Chakra Energy Recovery: 3 points/second
Remaining Gold Coins: 320
After reviewing his attributes, Uehara Naraku was in great spirits, his attitude towards Hoshigaki Kisame became friendly, looking warmly at his first recruited subordinate: "Alright, whatever questions you have? I can answer them all!"
