Saiyans in the Naruto world

Naruto and the others were even more astonished by Karot's eating habits. "Is he even human? He can eat so much!" they thought. At first, Naruto wanted to compete with Karot in terms of appetite, but even after he was stuffed, Karot showed no sign of stopping. Naruto went from admiration to astonishment to complete apathy. Karot was gradually shattering Naruto's perception of gluttons.

"Kakashi-sensei, is this person really your brother?"

Naruto turned to Kakashi beside him and asked, he really couldn't understand why Karot and Kakashi were brothers, they were not even the same kind of creatures.

"Without a doubt."

Kakashi never expected to be asked this question again after so many years.

The lunch turned into a complete Carrot show; the scene was eerily quiet, with only the sound of Carrot chewing.

Chapter 125 A Scheme Full of Flaws

"So full!"

After eating his fill, Carrot leaned against a tree and rubbed his stomach.

Are you going back to the village now?

Kakashi asked after seeing that Karot had finished eating.

"It's time to go home, after all, we've been out for so long."

"You still remember. Your father misses you very much."

Kakashi remembered that his father would go to Carrot's room late at night every night, hoping to see Carrot.

"I'm back now! I'm never leaving again."

"By the way, Kakashi, you're married, right?"

"This...this..."

Kakashi's face instantly turned bright red.

"Kakashi-sensei isn't married!"

At this moment, Naruto spoke up.

"Hmm. You're so single? Kakashi, what's going on between you and Shizune? You haven't gotten married yet after all this time."

Carrot was exasperated; his younger brother was excellent in every way, except that he was too shy.

"not?"

Karot couldn't help but look at Kakashi's lower body.

"What kind of look is that? I just feel that I'm still young and don't want to get married so soon."

Kakashi was no innocent fool. He understood the look in Carrot's eyes. This was a matter of a man's dignity, and Kakashi couldn't bear to suffer this injustice for no reason.

"That's fine, that's fine."

A huge weight was lifted from Carrot's heart. With Kakashi being the only one in the Hatake family to marry, that was enough. Carrot could finally do whatever he wanted, enjoying his freedom. He certainly didn't want someone to control him. Look at Goku, he was constantly being nagged after marrying Chi-Chi. Carrot definitely didn't want to get involved in that mess.

"And what about you? You've disappeared for so many years, haven't you found me a sister-in-law yet?"

Naruto and Sasuke both pricked up their ears, eager to hear the gossip; their gossip spirits were burning brightly.

Only Kaku knew that Carrot had been either fighting or training all these years; Carrot had no interest in women whatsoever. He even refused special services when he went for massages, which infuriated Kaku. "You don't want it, but don't stop me!" Kaku thought. If he could resist, he would have already shown Carrot the fury of a man.

"The Hatake family has you all they need."

Karot patted Kakashi on the shoulder and said.

Kakashi didn't want to talk to this man. Just because of this reason, you can be so shameless as to betray your own brother.

"Ouch. That hurts."

Zabuza, who had been unconscious for a long time, woke up.

"Kakashi."

Zabuza cried out. He only remembered that Kakashi had hit him before he passed out.

“I’m right here. I can hear you even if you shout loudly.”

Kakashi picked at his ear, as if Zabuza's voice was bothering him.

Zabuza finally had time to assess his situation. He felt his chakra being sealed, and his hands and feet being bound with ropes. There were also two unfamiliar people in the room.

"What do you want to do? Why don't you kill me?"

"I'm keeping you alive because I want to get information from you. I don't think you'd be so stingy, Zabuza, would you?"

Kakashi said to Zabuza with a smile.

Zabuza saw through the meaning behind Kakashi's smile: "If you don't cooperate, I have plenty of ways to make you." Interrogation is one of the essential skills of a qualified ninja. And Kakashi, as an elite Jonin, must be proficient in this. Zabuza's understanding of Kakashi's strength was still based on their previous encounter.

Zabuza didn't want to suffer any physical harm. He would tell Kakashi everything he knew if asked, since it was his employer's faulty information that had led to his capture. He felt it was his duty to avenge his employer. Zabuza wouldn't blame his carelessness for the outcome.

"Who sent you here?"

“Cado, because what your employer is doing is preventing my employer from making money, my employer sent me here to solve the problem.”

"Kado? That name sounds familiar."

After thinking for a moment, Kakashi suddenly realized that Gato was a very wealthy man, and Kakashi knew some information about him. Konoha, as one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, had a wide range of businesses, and Gato, being a wealthy man, would naturally have had employment dealings with Konoha.

“You’re not being honest, Mr. Tazner.”

Kakashi turned to his employer and said, "While this mission was intended to train my disciple, the reward you've given me isn't this much."

"I was forced into this situation. My country is under blockade by Kado, and all our money has been used to build bridges. I had no other choice but to resort to this measure. I am truly sorry."

Tazuna apologized sincerely, saying that if Kakashi hadn't led the team this time, he probably wouldn't have been able to return.

"Ugh."

Kakashi sighed. This was the tragedy of small countries; their fate was in the hands of others.

"Does Kado have any other tricks up his sleeve?"

"That's it. He sent me over too, but I didn't expect the idea to be so difficult. Even I failed."

Zabuza looked dejected. He knew he was going to die here today.

"brush."

Several silver needles flew out of nowhere and pierced Zabuza's neck.

"Forehead."

Zabuza collapsed to the ground.

"Who?"

Kakashi glanced around warily. A masked Mistkage appeared beside Zabuza.

"Hello, I am from the Kirigakure assassination squad. We are here to hunt down the rogue ninja Zabuza."

Kakashi approached Zabuza and checked with his hand to see if Zabuza was still breathing.

At this moment, Haku was extremely nervous. He was afraid that Kakashi would realize that Zabuza was only in a state of feigned death, and he was also afraid that the man named Karot would see through the deception, since this was a trick he had come up with in a hurry.

"he died."

Kakashi confirmed that Zabuza was indeed dead. He didn't pursue the matter of the ninja who had suddenly appeared and killed Zabuza, since the man was there on a mission, and Konoha and the Kirigakure were currently cooperating; he didn't want to create an awkward situation for either side.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, I'll leave now."

Haku hoisted Zabuza's "corpse" onto his back, preparing to leave. Every minute he lingered there increased the risk. Haku needed to get out of this dangerous place as soon as possible.

"Ah."

Kakashi watched Haku's actions without interfering. Kakuzu, however, noticed something amiss and glanced subtly at Karot. Karot shook his head at him, and Kakuzu understood Karot's intentions, so he remained silent.

"brush."

Haku left with Zabuza.

Chapter 126 Seeing Through the Plot

"Kakashi, goodbye."

Karot waved goodbye to Kakashi warmly. After hearing Tazuna's story, Kakashi still chose to continue with the mission.

Kakashi waved his hand symbolically without turning his head; he didn't want to end up like Karot, and he was afraid of losing face.

"Karot, why didn't you tell Kakashi that Zabuza is still alive?"

Until Kakashi and his companions disappeared from sight, Kakuzu couldn't help but ask Karot. Kakuzu, due to his training in Earth Grudge Fear, possessed an exceptional sensitivity to the passing of life. He hadn't sensed the passing of life in Zabuza, thus concluding that Zabuza was in league with the suddenly appearing Kirigakure pursuit team.

"Why tell him? It's because Kakashi's vigilance has dropped. He didn't even notice the other's weakness despite observing him at such close range."

"After Kakashi gained immense power, he lost some of his sense of awe. Let's just consider this incident as a lesson he learned."

"Don't you think it would be very interesting if the two of them met again later?"

Karot stood with his hands behind his back, gazing in the direction Kakashi had left.

Kakuzu shook his head, not knowing what to say about Carrot's arrangement. After all, it was an older brother creating an obstacle for his younger brother, and as an outsider, he shouldn't say much.

"Lord Zabuza, you're awake."
