"Damn! Damn it!! Damn it all!!! How is this possible? Why does someone have power greater than mine? I refuse to believe it!
"You're just a mere ninja. How could you possibly rival the power of Gelel Ore?!"
After barely withstanding one of Soji's attacks, Heide first unleashed a string of profane curses before revealing a look of jealousy.
He possessed the power of Gelel Ore. How could he lose to some ninja he had never even heard of before?
Even if the other man was some damned Fifth Mizukage, the Ancient Empire had ruled the world with the Gelel Ore Vein thousands of years ago!
