Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 925: The Poison Ninja Village Arrives

However, just as Cardo was proudly planning his blueprint, an uninvited guest arrived and broke his tranquility. It was the man sitting opposite him, wrapped in bandages - Zabuza Momochi, the rebel ninja of the Hidden Mist Village.

"Cado, your information is wrong."

Zabuza's voice was as chilling as ice.

"I've been waiting for so many days, but I haven't even seen the shadow of the enemy. You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."

Cardo stood beside his desk, his hands clenched into fists, the sweat on his forehead particularly glaring under the light.

He knew very well that although the man in front of him was a rebel ninja, his strength was strong enough to make the entire Wave Country tremble.

He suppressed his dissatisfaction and fear and managed a smile: "Master Zabuza, please believe me, the Poison Village has indeed made some moves, but they have always been cautious and may be waiting for the best opportunity. But please rest assured, as long as they dare to come, I, Kado, will fully cooperate with you and catch them all in one fell swoop."

Zabuza sneered, his laughter was full of disdain and ridicule: "Your promise is worthless in my opinion. What I need is the result, not empty words. Seven days, this is the deadline I give you. If within seven days, I neither see the shadow of the Poison Village nor receive the commission money I deserve, then you will bear the consequences yourself."

"Humph, a mere traitor-nin dares to threaten me."

Cardo cursed inwardly, but on the surface he had to pretend to be respectful.

"Of course, of course, I will pay the commission on time."

After saying that, Zabuza stood up, and with a flash of his body, he disappeared in the room like a ghost, leaving Cardo standing there alone, his face ashen and with mixed feelings in his heart.

Cardo knew very well that he had really hit a wall this time.

His original plan was to use Zabuza's power to eliminate the potential threat of the Poison Village, and at the same time use Zabuza's reputation to intimidate those fishermen and businessmen who were dissatisfied with his shipping company's monopoly.

However, the Poison Village's delay in taking action made everything complicated.

After leaving the office, Cardo took a deep breath of the salty and humid seaside air, trying to calm his inner irritability. He looked around and saw that there were few ships in the port, and the busy scene of the past was no longer there.

The fishermen sighed or cursed, their eyes full of confusion and helplessness about the future. All this was the result of the Cardo Shipping Company's monopoly on shipping and heavy taxes.

"Do I really have to succumb to the threats of this traitorous ninja?"

Cardo thought to himself, but then shook his head. He knew that he had no way out. Zabuza's strength was beyond his reach.

However, the Poison Ninja Village actually planned to take action against him.

Venom Fang, this young genius ninja was born in the Land of Waves. Naturally, he did not want to see his country become worse because of Cardo.

But before taking any action, Venom Fang would like to ask Demonsk and Alex for advice.

Wesker didn't take it seriously. Like Dazna, he had already figured out that the best way to change the fate of the Wave Kingdom was to build a bridge to make transportation more convenient.

Of course, tolls are still charged on the bridge.

But the benefits of doing so are huge.

Then trade will be easier.

So Wesker didn't take shipping seriously. Cardo rose up again. Although Wesker guessed that he might have found helpers, what helpers were there in the ninja world?
It can't be that people from the five major ninja villages are planning to intervene. They are all very cautious.

"Venom Fang, if that's the case, then go and kill Cardo."

Wesker agreed to Venom Fang's request. "Yes, thank you, Chief!"

Poison Fang was very excited, and he brought a group of poison ninjas from the Land of Waves.

The current ninja composition of the Poison Village is very complicated. There are wandering ninjas, rebel ninjas, and rebel ninjas from all over the place. There are also former subordinates of Hanzo of the Hidden Rain Village, Salamander. The outside world does not know that Hanzo of the Salamander is dead yet, and has no intention of hunting down the rebel Rain ninjas.

There is no bounty. If there was a bounty, they would hunt him down.

In order to prevent the secret of Hanzo's death from being revealed, Akatsuki did not offer bounties for these traitorous ninjas and instead sent their own people to hunt them down.

So after tossing and turning, these Rain Ninjas finally arrived at the Poison Ninja Village.

This village that uses poison as a ninjutsu is very special in their eyes.

At the same time, on Cardo's side.

"You can take the money and leave tomorrow..."

Zabuza's voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the empty room, as if it was a promise to himself and the dialogue.

Ever since the failed assassination attempt, he was like a lone wolf being chased by a hunter, and every breath he took was accompanied by the scent of danger.

However, this mission went very smoothly, and he hardly had to do anything himself, and could just sit back and enjoy the results. But behind this ease, he was deeply dissatisfied with the meaningless waste of time.

"very nice."

Bai said softly, these three words contain too many complex emotions, the expectation for the coming liberation, and also the emotion for the difficult years in the past.

However, this tranquility did not last long, as the sudden noise coming from downstairs instantly broke the silence in the room.

"Bang! Bang!"

The sound of glass breaking, along with the screams and panic of the crowd, clearly reached Zabuza and Shiro's ears.

Ordinary people might not have noticed these subtle movements, but for them, who were rebel ninjas and always alert to their surroundings, this was like an alarm signal.

Zabuza suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes, which were always filled with indifference and murderous intent, were even sharper at this moment. He quickly exchanged a glance with Bai, and without further words, the two of them understood each other.

Bai's figure flashed and blended into the surrounding darkness like a ghost, while Zabuza slowly stood up, holding the beheading sword in his hand, ready to deal with the impending crisis at any time.

Inside the banquet hall, the guests had not yet recovered from their previous joy when they were frightened by this sudden change and fled in all directions.

Cardo was even more terrified. He looked at Zabuza as if he had grabbed the last straw and said, "Quick, quick... The commission time is not over yet. This man must be here to kill me—"

His words trembled, but the fear in his eyes was hard to hide.

"Shut up!"

Zabuza shouted coldly, and the beheading sword was instantly placed across Cardo's neck, the sharp blade flashing coldly under the light.

Cardo was suddenly silent, and could only swallow his saliva helplessly. However, at this critical moment, he inexplicably felt a strange pleasure in his heart.

The ninja from the Poison Village chose to come on the last day of the commission, which was undoubtedly a provocation to Zabuza and also a compensation for the humiliation he had suffered before.
