That Day When Suzuki-kun Wasn't the Mob-B! Chapter 502: A Bow is Better (Patreon)

"This jutsu is good."
Suzuki nodded, thinking that having the living dead would make for good subordinates, as he knew well that they couldn't betray him and would be completely obedient.
"Who are you?!"
Zabuza quickly narrowed his eyes and flared his killing intent, but his body was blasted away directly by Suzuki's kick.
Splash!
Zabuza's head splattered onto Haku.
But soon, Zabuza's head recovered and reformed as he returned to life.
"Z-Zabuza-sama...?!" Haku was stunned. They had been dead, but now they had returned to the living world. He had just seen Zabuza's head destroyed, yet he once again returned to life?
No, were they even alive?
After all, it was clear that despite being "alive," their skin was much paler, there were cracks lining their bodies and faces, and their sclerae were completely black.
More importantly, who was this boy?
Haku and Zabuza were tense, knowing well that Suzuki was the one who had brought them back from the dead. He was also so strong that a single casual attack blasted Zabuza away and made him actually feel the impact, putting him in intense agony despite being dead.
"I brought you two back from death. You are once again alive, but you must be curious about what I am going to do with you two, right?"
Suzuki sat down calmly on a large log nearby as he talked. "I will stop you from talking since I hate meaningless chatter, so listen carefully to what I am going to say first." He looked at the two of them, seeing that Zabuza and Haku had put all their focus on him and didn't dare to speak anymore. "I like smart people, so I won't waste my words. I want to dominate this place and make it my own, so I need weapons to handle the problems. That is why I raised you from the dead, and because of that, I am giving you two choices.
"One is to leave you 'alive' like this, so you can think on your own. The other is to let you die, but move you around like mindless dolls. Which one do you want?"
"......." Zabuza and Haku.
So, was there really a choice?
Yet, they knew that as the weak, they had no way to refute him, so they bowed their heads.
"Master."
"It's good that you are smart." Suzuki nodded. "I still have something to do, so I will put all the information directly into your heads." While saying so, he recreated "Archive Magic" from the world of Fairy Tail in the world of Naruto.
In the end, whether it was magic or jutsu, they were more or less the same.
The difference was that magic used a magic circle, while jutsu used hand signs.
Ultimately, everything was intrinsically similar, and because of that, Suzuki knew well that he could use all of the magic that Hibiki of Fairy Tail could use, along with the abilities of the other Suzukis across different worlds.
Yet, Zabuza and Haku were just in a daze as they saw Suzuki use a strange jutsu. At the same time, they felt a huge amount of information suddenly enter their minds. They naturally knew what he wanted them to do, and they also instantly understood the background of this new master who had resurrected them from the grave.
"Let's go."
"Yes, Master," the two replied.
Zabuza and Haku felt weird and, at the same time, were in total disbelief. They knew that Suzuki was from Konoha and was the direct disciple of the Third Hokage.
Still, would they question him?
No way. With his capabilities, and knowing he could control their bodies on a whim, there was nothing they could do except follow his words.
Suzuki, having done what he planned, didn't go back to Konoha immediately. Instead, he went to Gato's headquarters, gathered all the bandits, criminals, and many others using his genjutsu, and put Zabuza in charge of leading all of them.
"You go out and take over all of Gato's businesses."
"Yes, Boss."
"Oh, right, share some of your jutsu with me, too."
Suzuki didn't wait for Zabuza's answer; he just extracted all the necessary information directly from Zabuza's mind—his jutsu, his fighting style, and many other things.
"....."
Zabuza had many things to say, yet in the end, he could only sigh and give up.
"Ah, if you don't mind, you can have mine, too."
Haku was sensible and voluntarily decided to offer his memories to Suzuki.
"Hmm... I don't think I need it. You aren't that powerful anyway."
"....." Haku.
Meanwhile, Suzuki looked at the Kubikiribocho for a while. He picked it up, staring at it intently.
Zabuza, who saw this, didn't feel surprised that Suzuki took an interest in the weapon, especially after Suzuki had taken his memories, which let him know exactly how powerful the blade was—
"Eh?"
The gigantic sword suddenly changed its form, transforming into a completely different shape, causing Haku and Zabuza to stare in a daze.
They couldn't say a word as they watched the large blade transform into a massive, heavy mechanical recurve bow. The top and bottom limbs of the bow looked like thick, curved segments of a cleaver blade. The upper limb featured the iconic circular hole near the tip, and the lower limb (near the grip) featured a semi-circular cutout, which allowed wind to pass through during high-speed movement and acted as an anchor point for stabilizing weights.
Lastly, the grip—the center of the bow where the archer held it—was wrapped in the same white bandages as the Kubikiribocho.
The legendary blade had suddenly turned into a bow!
How?!
Zabuza and Haku screamed in their minds, but then Suzuki grabbed one of the nearby corpses, and suddenly, a heavy, solid-steel, armor-piercing arrow formed from it.
"Now, this is better."
Instead of waving a large blade around like a barbarian, it was better to transform it into a bow.
As for how he could do this?
Don't forget about the Suzuki of Arifureta, who could simply transform any material into various weapons thanks to the Synergist job, which gave him the transmutation ability.
Still, Suzuki wanted to try this weapon out, so he went to the rooftop of the building. Haku and Zabuza looked at each other before timidly following him, intensely curious.
Suzuki didn't stop them. Instead, he looked toward a certain building in the Land of Waves, aimed with the Manager's help, and pulled the string. His veins bulged, and a huge amount of chakra formed at the tip of the arrow. Then, he released it.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The sheer mass and velocity of the arrow created a sonic boom upon release, tearing everything in its path apart and destroying his target!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The daimyo's castle in the Land of Waves was left in ruins; everything was completely annihilated, and the majority of its inhabitants were dead or dying.
"A bow is better, right?"
"Ah, um, yeah."
"I-It's amazing, Suzuki-sama!"
The two were at a loss and entirely speechless, yet they clapped their hands as Haku asked unsurely, "Um, Suzuki-sama, that place is..."
"The daimyo's castle."
"....." Zabuza and Haku.
"Okay, let's move on. I will hypnotize one of the surviving nobles there to take over and make it into my toy. You two, hurry up and move."
"Yes, sir!" the two said in unison.
They quickly moved out, screaming in their minds that this young man was an absolute madman!
Yet, Suzuki didn't think too much about it. In the end, in this world, power was everything.
With power, world peace could happen.
With power, one could be called the God of Shinobi.
With power, one could say anything they wanted, and it would be taken as a prophecy by others.
With power, anything was possible, and since he had power, there was no need to hold back anymore.
