Chapter 88 The Water Shadow is dispatched
After the Kingdom of Water received the news, the Fourth Mizukage ordered the construction of three more identical ships based on the Hokage.
But how can ordinary people easily obtain such things as sacred branches? Even ninjas are only known by a few people, so it is impossible to be exactly the same, unless the Mizukage prepares the materials himself.
Asking a Kage from a ninja village to prepare the materials by himself made the Fourth Mizukage so angry that he couldn't sleep for several days. However, a fifth-generation disciple of the Fire Nation can produce so much material, and he, the fourth-generation Mizukage, cannot be compared!
The Fourth Mizukage is also talented and deserves to be a Kage-level being. Although the wood he found this time was not as dry as the sacred tree, it was still rare and good wood.
There is an Ironwood in the Kingdom of Water, which is an Ironwood tree growing in the center of the Bloodmist Village. Ironwood itself is hard, and it absorbs blood mist for a long time, so it grows much larger than ordinary trees.
This tree is two hundred years old and is old enough to serve as the keel of a ship. The remaining materials are also extraordinary and just serve as the planks of the main ship.
Although the materials for the main ship have been found, these are only materials for one ship. However, the first batch of projects only requires one ship, and the remaining ones will be manufactured in the second and third phases.
After spending half a year's income from the Kingdom of Water, the Water Shadow was finally completed.
----------------------
However, the Kingdom of Water did not take immediate action. They only conducted a trial voyage on nearby islands. After all, people like Saiki and Jiraiya who rush forward when they go up, the Fourth Mizukage still knew how to plan before making a move.
In the first two months when the Mizukage was put into use, it was used entirely for entertainment, transportation, etc. This also recovered a lot of costs for the fourth generation Mizukage.
They visited all the nearby islands, and this really led them to find a Devil Fruit. The Devil Fruit itself looks very strange, and the people from the Kingdom of Water took it back because they looked strange.
Of course, the first person to test the fruit cannot be someone like Mizukage. What if he is poisoned to death? Big people are not willing to be the first to try it, because if it is a good thing, they can find it again in the future, so there is no need to rush.
Originally, in the original work, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen should have defected at this time, but after the Fourth Mizukage Genjutsu was lifted, they were reused again. This newly obtained fruit was given to one of them, Mochi Zabuza.
Zabuza didn't react at all after eating the fruit, which made the Fourth Mizukage so angry that he couldn't sleep for another night. Because he took great risks to embezzle public funds, and without performance, he would not be able to go overseas.
Fortunately, on the third day, Zabuza lived up to expectations and successfully developed his abilities.
----------------------
The Fourth Mizukage hurried over and happened to see a white wolf. This white wolf is five meters long, and even six ninja swords cannot take him down.
Seeing the strange beast causing trouble, the Fourth Mizukage transformed into a tailed beast and knocked the white wolf unconscious with a slap. But looking at the fainted Zabuza, the Fourth Mizukage seemed to understand something.
After more than ten days of continuous testing, Zabuza's ability was revealed.
Eating this fruit can increase two forms, one is half-human and the other is beast. The semi-human state can increase strength and speed by about five times, and the body strength has also reached about five times of the original.
After transforming into a white wolf, Zabuza's power increased tenfold, and his overall combat power increased even more. However, you cannot use ninjutsu after becoming a white wolf, because the white wolf cannot form seals with both hands.
During these ten days, they also discovered Zabuza's weakness, which was his fear of sea water. This makes Zabuza very depressed, because the water ninja village is basically based on water attributes, which suddenly abolished most of his abilities.
However, he can still stand on the water. As long as he is not soaked in sea water, he can basically fight.
----------------------
After studying for more than a month, the Water Kingdom once again discussed whether to go to sea. After all, going overseas requires a lot of financial support and a lot of staffing.
These people can earn a lot of money if they do tasks. The discussion at the conference was heated, but the majority of people agreed.
In fact, the fourth Mizukage was also depressed. In the Fire Country, one was a Kirin and the other was a user with the ability to control earth. Why is there only one white wolf here?
