Naruto: I, Naruto, started with the Rinnegan

Kado promptly reported Zabuza's location to Kirigakure.

An elite Jonin, an Ice Release ninja...

It is of great value.

After careful consideration, Kirigakure decided to send out its ANBU to capture Zabuza.

After further deliberation, Terumi Mei overruled the objections and decided to take matters into her own hands.

"I know Zabuza. He is an ambitious man. The only way to completely subdue him and make him work for Kirigakure is for me to take action myself."

Mei Terumi then arrived in the Land of Waves, only to find Zabuza preparing to retire to the mountains and relinquish everything he owned.

.........

"You are... Mei Terumi!"

Zabuza recognized the newcomers. Looking at the surrounding Kirigakure ANBU, he assumed they were after him and couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.

"As expected... no ninja can escape their fate..."

A ninja who kills will eventually be killed himself... It's not surprising that it happened to him. He was too naive to think he could retire safely.

"Bai, I'm going to drag you down again."

"Lord Zabuza, what are you saying? You should understand my feelings."

"It was my fault, Bai..."

Seeing the two holding hands tightly and smiling sweetly, Terumi Mei felt a headache coming on.

Although she didn't have any testicles, she still felt pain.

"Zabuza, what happened to you?"

Where is your ambition? Where is your madness? Where is your ruthlessness?

"I have found the person I cherish most."

Seeing Mei Terumi's smug expression, Zabuza said calmly, "Mei Terumi, aren't you married yet?"

Bringing up the very thing that shouldn't be brought up, Zabuza precisely hit Mei Terumi's sore spot.

Even the men have found other men, but she hasn't...

Miserable!

Mei Terumi, her face dark, abandoned her original plan to appeal to emotions and offer benefits, and coldly said...

"I'm giving you two choices: either you are executed on the spot as a rogue ninja whose crimes are unforgivable, or you return to Kirigakure and become one of the respected Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist again... Choose one!"

"So there's even an option to go back..."

Zabuza was somewhat surprised; the other party's aura exceeded his expectations... No wonder she was able to become the Fifth Mizukage.

But... if we go back...

Zabuza looked at Haku.

"No matter what Zabuza-sama's decision is, I will stay by his side."

Bai Rou smiled.

"Bai, you really aren't cut out to be a ninja..."

Zabuza himself doesn't care, but he can't let Haku suffer, so...

"I choose the third one!"

Using her own strength, she broke free from the pursuit of the Hidden Mist and flew away with Bai Yuan.

—Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

The massive water dragon dispersed the surrounding Mist Ninja Anbu, and Zabuza and Hakucho fled at breakneck speed.

"Zabuza, you made the wrong choice."

With a somewhat grim expression, Mei Terumi led a group of Kirigakure ANBU in pursuit of Zabuza.

Four Mist Ninja Anbu members remained; three watched over Team 7, while one went to retrieve the Executioner's Blade.

"Hey, the decapitation sword is my trophy."

Naruto spoke up at an inopportune moment.

"Kids from Konoha, some things are not for you to have... If you're too greedy, you'll die!"

A member of the Mist Ninja Anbu exuded a strong killing intent.

"Really? I don't believe it."

After saying that, Kakashi tugged at Naruto, his eyes asking Naruto what he wanted to do.

Nothing much, I just wanted to have some fun.

Another Kirigakure ANBU member said, "Copy Ninja Kakashi, keep an eye on your student. Kirigakure doesn't want to clash with Konoha, but it's not afraid of Konoha either. It's best to avoid any unnecessary conflict."

"I hope so."

Kakashi naturally didn't want to cause trouble for the village, as for the Executioner's Blade...

It's not very valuable; it originally belonged to Mist Village, so returning it to Mist Village wouldn't matter.

But Naruto didn't think so.

Although he didn't care about the Executioner's Blade, it was pointless to hand it over to a Mist Ninja who had threatened him...

It makes me unhappy just thinking about it.

What to do if you're unhappy?

Let's do it!

"Sasuke, let's go, avoid the vital points."

Naruto launched a surprise attack, kicking a Kirigakure ANBU member who hadn't had time to react, sending him crashing heavily into a tree.

Kakashi was stunned. "Naruto, you... Sasuke!"

A flash of purple light appeared, and Sasuke used Lightning Instantaneous Body Technique to kick and knock out a Kirigakure ANBU member.

"Damn it, you brat from Konoha..."

The other two Mist Ninja ANBU reacted instantly, enraged. One gripped a kunai, and the other a guillotine, and charged towards the two.

bang bang bang...

One minute later, the two secret agents were killed.

"Are all the ninjas outside... this weak?"

Sasuke said he hadn't had enough, and one more fight would be just about right.

Naruto nodded: "Indeed weak, not even a Jonin."

Sakura, a genin, trembled with fear. What kind of amazing teammates were these...?

"You...you'd better give me an explanation!"

Kakashi walked over with a gloomy face.

……

"It seems... I overestimated my abilities..."

Thinking he could escape on his own, he turned out to be no match for Mei Terumi at all.

Zabuza knelt on one knee, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, turned to look at the badly injured Shiro beside him, and couldn't help but feel apologetic.

Bai Qian smiled faintly, everything was understood without words.

Mei Terumi slowly approached and said in a deep voice, "Zabuza, I'm giving you one last chance. Come back to Kirigakure with me."

He's an elite Jonin, after all. If we can spare him... we should try our best not to kill him.

"Zabuza will never live, only die standing!"

Mei Terumi glanced at Zabuza, who was kneeling on the ground.

"So... do you want to live or die?"

Zabuza struggled to his feet, making his choice clear.

Mei Terumi's face darkens; you're really asking for it, aren't you?

"Do it! Take them down..."

Hesitate, hesitate, and hesitate again.

Arrest him!

An elite Jonin, the strongest below Kage level... Mei Terumi really couldn't bear to kill him, so she thought of...

Catch them, lock them up, and slowly discipline them...

"Stop! Forcibly abducting a couple in broad daylight! What kind of behavior is this!"

Ding!Ding!Ding!

The three kunai were precisely positioned in front of the three Mist Ninja Anbu members who were preparing to capture Zabuza and Haku.

Swish!

With a flash, Naruto appeared next to Zabuza and Haku, using Healing Palm Technique to heal their injuries.

"Healing Palm Technique? At this age... it seems to be another genius from Konoha..."

Mei Terumi felt envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Konoha, a place known for its many geniuses.

At this moment, the other three members of Team 7 arrived. Mei Terumi did not see the four Mist Ninja Anbu members, and her expression immediately darkened.

Is it...

"That's right, just like you imagined."

Naruto turned around, revealing a bloodthirsty smile.

Before Mei Terumi could explode in anger, Kakashi quickly explained, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Your subordinate isn't dead; he just passed out."

Adults' words are always more credible than children's. Mei Terumi's anger subsided slightly, and she squinted her eyes, saying, "I think... you should give me an explanation."
