This Naruto is too easily persuaded.

night.

Within the Land of Waves, there stands an extremely luxurious Western-style manor.

Inside the manor, the exquisite fountains and dazzling lights stand in stark contrast to the devastation and misery of the country.

"Is this Kado's lair?"

Naruto stood in front of the manor gate and asked calmly.

Zabuza, carrying a large sword, stared coldly at the patrolling guards behind him and said in a low voice:

"There are at least two hundred mercenary samurai and mafia members inside. Are you sure you want to go straight in?"

"certainly."

Zabuza snorted coldly.

With Zabuza, the top assassin, leading the way, no one dared to stop them, and the two passed through the courtyard as if it were empty.

……

On the top floor of the manor, in an extremely luxurious office.

Kado sat on his soft leather sofa.

He was swirling a glass of red wine in his hand, and was scolding a subordinate who was kneeling on the ground.

When he saw Zabuza push open the door with a blond brat, he was stunned for a moment, then a deep displeasure appeared on his bloated, fat face:

"Zabuza! Instead of completing the task I gave you, what are you doing bringing this brat along?"

Kado spoke with disdain, not even bothering to look Naruto in the eye.

"This kid has a few questions for Mr. Kado."

Zabuza walked to the side and disappeared into the shadows, his tone playful.

Naruto was not angry because of Gato's contemptuous attitude.

He slowly sat down opposite Kado, leaning back slightly, his posture as composed as if this were his own living room, and began to speak:

"Before we begin, I have a few questions I'd like you to answer to satisfy my curiosity."

"What are you?"

Kado slammed his fist on the table and roared:

"Guards! Give him to me..."

"The first question."

Naruto interrupted him directly, his voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable sense of dominance:

"You seized control of the maritime trade routes of the Land of Waves, causing widespread suffering among its people. Do you...feel any remorse for this?"

Kado wanted to call for help.

But upon hearing this question, he laughed triumphantly as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Guilt? Hahaha! Kid, let me show you the mindset of a big shot before you die."

He took a deep drag on his cigar and exhaled a smoke ring:

"These useless people with no ability are just my waste material."

"Seeing them kneel on the ground and beg me for a little bit of moldy food—that's what I've always been looking forward to!"

"If I control the sea, I'll be God here! Hahahaha!"

"Then, the second question."

"Are you planning to kill all the construction workers next?"

Naruto raised an eyebrow and looked at Gato opposite him.

"Oh? You actually guessed what I was thinking?"

Kado became a little interested. "You're a ninja Kazna hired? You don't seem like a fool. Want to fight me?"

"The third question..."

Naruto adjusted his glasses slightly. "It seems... you never intended to pay Zabuza from the very beginning?"

"...What nonsense are you spouting?"

Kado was immediately enraged.

He had no intention of saying anything more to Naruto and turned to look at Zabuza.

"Hey, kill him!"

However, Zabuza did not move.

"Zabuza-san, my questions are finished."

Naruto said calmly, "Let's do it. Leave no one alive except Gato."

"Um?"

Kado hadn't reacted yet.

next moment.

His closest subordinate, standing beside him, had his head blown off his body.

Pfft—!

Hot blood splattered onto Kado's face.

In the next ten minutes, the once luxurious manor was completely transformed into a horrific slaughterhouse.

Those mercenaries and samurai who usually acted arrogantly and bullied others were as weak as chicks waiting to be slaughtered in front of Zabuza.

Kado collapsed to the ground.

He watched helplessly as his expensively hired bodyguards were mowed down like grass.

The scattered limbs and the strong smell of blood overwhelmed his reason.

The wine glass in his hand shattered, a strong smell of urine emanated from his crotch, and he huddled in the corner, trembling.

"No...don't kill me! I have money! I'll give you all my money!"

Why would you think that returning my things would be a bargaining chip to save your life?

Naruto stood up, ignoring the limp Gato, and kicked open the door to the secret vault.

It was a breathtaking sight.

Inside the spacious, enclosed room, there were mountains of cash, boxes of jewelry, and gold hanging under the lights, gleaming alluringly.

All of this is the blood and sweat that Kado has exploited in the Kingdom of Waves.

Preliminary estimates suggest that the cash here exceeds one billion taels, not to mention the priceless jewelry.

Due to the suspicion surrounding Cardo, coupled with the sensitive nature of the industry.

This led him to distrust banks and everyone else, so almost all of his wealth was tied up there.

In the end, it all benefited Naruto.

"nailed it."

Naruto raised his hand and stuffed all the valuable items into his pocket space.

The moment the last box of gold bars disappeared, a system notification sounded in Naruto's mind:

[Ding! Robin Hood mission complete! Settling accounts...]

[Task Evaluation: Perfect!]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: 1 Grade A Treasure Chest!]

"Rank A...!"

Naruto's hand trembled slightly as he adjusted his glasses, a storm raging within him.

This was the first time he had received an award of this level.

Just as Naruto opened the treasure chest.

Suddenly, a dense chorus of footsteps echoed from the shadows of the corridor.

"Thanks for your hard work, kid from Konoha."

Zabuza's voice rang out from behind, carrying a sense of smug satisfaction.

Zabuza stood at the very front of the group.

Behind him, besides Haku wearing a mask, were more than a dozen rogue ninja dressed in Hidden Mist attire, exuding a powerful aura.

Many of these people were his loyal followers who had escaped with him after participating in the rebellion.

They were armed and blocked all the exits.

"Zabuza...Quick! Kill him!"

Seeing this, Gato, who was standing nearby, crawled towards Zabuza like a dog and screamed:

"If you kill him and get the money back, I'll give you double... no, ten times the price!"

"You really think I'd obediently take orders from a low-ranking ninja?"

Zabuza, sword at his shoulder, eyes full of mockery, didn't even deign to stomp on Gato on the ground.

"Ninety-one points? No, everything here belongs to me now."

"But I can divide your body 90/10 with you... I only want the portion on top, hahahaha!"

Naruto, still with his back to him, looked at the rewards in the treasure chest, his tone filled with pleasure:

"Zabuza-san, I must say, you're very lucky."

"I was originally planning to kill you directly."

But now, I've changed my mind.

"Oh?"

Zabuza sneered and strode forward:

"Are you mistaken? You're surrounded!"

No, you're mistaken.

Naruto formed hand seals, "It's you... you're surrounded by me."

Shadow Clone Technique.

Bang bang bang bang bang-! ! !

Countless plumes of smoke filled every corner of the manor.

One hundred...two hundred...three hundred...five hundred!

Numerous shadow clones instantly surrounded Zabuza and the others.

Zabuza broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

He knew how troublesome Naruto's shadow clones were.

So when Zabuza looked around and saw Naruto, who was densely packed and surrounded the entire manor...

The hand holding the knife actually began to tremble slightly.

"Hey...hey, is this...this is the amount of chakra a human could possibly have?"

Although he had already overestimated Naruto as much as possible in his mind, he still didn't expect it to be this exaggerated!

This is... a genin?
