Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 238 Financial Freedom

Zabuza Momochi, who had been assigned by Chiga to collect Kado's wealth, returned here as promised.

When Zabuza Momochi saw the bandaged wound on Haku's chest, he didn't even consider that Chiga was still there.

Immediately unleashing his killing intent, Zabuza Momochi said fiercely, "Haku, how did you get hurt? Which brat did this? I'll tear him apart!"

"I did it, so what?!"

Before Bai could even speak, Chika glared at Momochi Zabuza.

"you!"

Zabuza Momochi was furious and wanted to stab Chiga, but Byakuya was quick-witted and stepped forward to stop him.

When Haku saw how much Zabuza Momochi cared for him, a blush crept onto his cheeks, and he almost said something suggestive.

Fortunately, he was mindful of Chiga's presence, so he could only reassure her, "Mr. Zabuza, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious!"

Seeing that Haku was still lively and energetic, Momochi Zabuza knew that he was just being overly concerned. He gave Chiga a disapproving look and then let out a cold snort.

"Hmph, here's what you wanted. Kado's wealth is all inside."

Zabuza Momochi threw a sealing scroll at Chiga and said with dissatisfaction.

"ha!"

Upon hearing this, Chiga's eyes lit up, and he immediately caught the sealing scroll. Then, in front of Haku and Zabuza Momochi, he unsealed the scroll.

Bang!

After a puff of smoke, a mountain of silver notes appeared in front of Chiga.

Gato is one of the wealthiest people in the ninja world, although he spends most of his wealth on real estate.

But the amount of cash was outrageous.

"I'm rich! Murder and arson really do bring wealth. Why would I be a ninja if I had nothing better to do?"

Chiga drooled with happiness, looking just like a little money-grubber.

Unexpectedly, the biggest gain from this trip was this cash. With this money, what kind of equipment can't we buy!

Zabuza Momochi and Haku exchanged a glance, immediately realizing that the promised double reward was no longer a possibility.

This guy doesn't look like someone who would pay a fee.

However, Zabuza Momochi still felt somewhat unsatisfied, especially since Haku had been injured, so he said to Chiga, "Hey, Phantom Crow, shouldn't you give us the double reward you promised us?"

"Kado initially paid us one million taels to hire the two of us, so double that would be two million taels, not much!"

Upon hearing this, Chiga reluctantly shifted his gaze away from the banknotes.

He then immediately resealed the silver note back into the sealing scroll, and then stuffed the sealing scroll back into his ninja tool pouch.

"Ahem! Well, actually, I think giving money would really hurt our relationship!"

Chika said awkwardly, "Although two million taels is just a drop in the ocean compared to Kado's wealth, Chika is like a Pixiu, only taking in and never giving out."

"whispering sound!"

Zabuza Momochi ignored Chiga's words, simply exchanging a glance with Haku before saying, "Now that we've helped you, shouldn't you release the seal on me?"

"That's easy!"

Upon hearing this, Chiga walked up to Zabuza Momochi, placed one hand on Zabuza's abdomen, and softly uttered, "Sealing Technique: Four Symbols Unsealing!"

In an instant, the complex pattern on Zabuza Momochi's abdomen slowly dissipated.

Zabuza Momochi's chakra surged up instantly.

He clenched his fist, sensing the chakra within his body, then looked at Chika, suppressing the urge to kill Chika deep within him.

After all, Zabuza Momochi had been wandering the ninja world for so long and had never suffered such a great loss.

But he knew he truly lacked the ability to deal with Qianhe, so he took a deep breath and said, "Lord Huanya, our transaction is complete. Farewell, and goodbye forever!"

After saying that, without waiting for Qianhe to agree, he took Bai and prepared to leave.

Although this guy in front of them seemed easy to talk to, who knows if he might suddenly change his attitude and attack the two of them.

Therefore, Zabuza Momochi did not want to have too much entanglement with Chiga.

"Don't worry, you two! There's no reward, but I can provide you with some information that might allow you to return to Kirigakure!"

Seeing this, Chika thought for a while. Originally, he hadn't planned to attack Momochi Zabuza and Haku.

Moreover, judging from Haku's acting skills, and considering that Zabuza did his best and didn't try to cheat him,...

Therefore, Chiga decided to offer the two some help without expecting anything in return.

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, was controlled by Obito Uchiha's genjutsu, which kept Kirigakure in an extreme and brutal environment for a long time.

The persecution of ninjas with bloodline limits led to the daily deaths of many people throughout the village, turning Kirigakure into a village of blood and mist.

Zabuza Momochi defected from Kirigakure because he was dissatisfied with the policies of the Fourth Mizukage. His assassination attempt on the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, failed, which led to his departure from Kirigakure.

From this perspective, Zabuza Momochi still cared quite a bit about Kirigakure.

Upon hearing this, Zabuza Momochi fell silent, and Haku also looked at Zabuza Momochi.

Having wandered the ninja world for so many years, constantly facing pursuit from the Hidden Mist Anbu, the two were already exhausted both physically and mentally.

However, seeing Chiga's smile, Momochi Zabuza said insincerely, "Hmph, I have long since lost all affection for that brutal village, I don't need your information!"

Upon hearing this, Chiga pointed at the Kirigakure headband on Momochi Zabuza's head and chuckled, "Since you've defected, why don't you stab your Kirigakure headband?"

"Look at your shiny, glowing fog headband, you must wipe it down a lot, right?"

"This doesn't seem like something a rogue ninja should do!"

Zabuza Momochi: "."

[Negative emotions from Zabuza Momochi, emotion value +50!]

Chiga still wore that same smile, and her clear eyes seemed to see right through Zabuza Momochi's heart.

Zabuza Momochi really wanted to stab Chiga on the head.

He angrily swung his executioner's blade at the tree, then plopped down on it, and asked Chiga, "Speak, what information?"

"The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, was controlled by genjutsu, which is why he's thrown the entire Hidden Mist Village into such chaos!"

Chiga said directly.

"What?!"

"Impossible! The Fourth Mizukage was a perfect Jinchūriki, how could he be so easily controlled by genjutsu!?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Upon hearing this, Zabuza Momochi was greatly alarmed and replied without thinking.

Chiga shrugged and said, "Actually, it's not difficult for you to know whether this information is accurate."

"I think you still have some subordinates left in Kirigakure. We can find out by asking them."

According to the plot, at this point in time, Kirigakure should have already discovered that the Fourth Mizukage was being controlled.

The reason why the news didn't spread was because it wasn't something to be proud of.

"Tch, since Kirigakure already knows about this, why do you think this information will allow me to return to Kirigakure?"

"Just because the Fourth Mizukage is under control, does that mean I'm not guilty of assassinating the Kage of a village?"

Zabuza Momochi looked at Chika with disdain, as if to say, "You don't understand Kirigakure."

Chiga didn't seem to care, and continued, "While your Hidden Mist Village knows that the Fourth Mizukage is being controlled, you don't know who's controlling him!"

"This is the key to getting you back to Kirigakure."

"Who is it?"

Upon hearing this, Zabuza Momochi's eyes flashed with killing intent. He did not doubt that Chika was lying to him.

After all, with Chiga's Sharingan, it wouldn't be a problem to turn him into a sex slave, so why waste so much time talking?

"That person works for an organization."

"And everyone in that organization is at the Kage level. I'm afraid they'll hunt me down if I say anything, so I'd better not say anything!"

"Since you have no feelings for Kirigakure anyway, don't make things difficult for me!"

Chiga grinned mischievously.

Zabuza Momochi: "."

[Negative emotions from Zabuza Momochi, emotion value +99!]

white:"."

This guy's wicked sense of humor has kicked in again.

"Kid, don't be afraid of me just because I can't beat you!"

Zabuza Momochi was furious. He suddenly stood up, swung his Executioner's Blade, and wanted to fight Chiga.

Haku stood up helplessly, blocking Zabuza Momochi's path, and looked at Chiga with pleading eyes.

Seeing this, Chiga could only helplessly say, "Alright, alright, I'll tell you!"

"That organization is called Akatsuki."

"The Akatsuki's base is in the Land of Rain, and its members are mostly ninjas who have defected from villages in the ninja world."

"As for the person who controls the Fourth Mizukage, he is hiding among them, under the identity of Tobi."

Upon hearing this, Zabuza's face showed a thoughtful expression, probably recalling whether he had heard of this organization.

Chiga continued, "Although there is no evidence for this information, once you inform Kirigakure, they will naturally verify its authenticity."

"You've redeemed yourself somewhat. As for whether you can return to Kirigakure, that depends on your fate!"

"Oh, and I'll give you another piece of information for free."

"There is a rogue ninja from Kirigakure within the Akatsuki organization named Kisame Hoshigaki!"

As Chiga spoke, he stood up and stretched. He had said so much that it had almost negated the help he had received from Momochi Zabuza and Haku.

"Kisame!"

"It was that guy!"

Upon hearing this, Zabuza Momochi's expression immediately turned serious.

Although both were members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Kisame Hoshigaki was a rogue ninja from the Mist Village who was several times more terrifying than him.

He is simply incomparable to them.

"Lord Phantom Raven!"

Before Zabuza Momochi could recover, Haku suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

However, Chiga, who was originally in front of them, had long since disappeared.

"Damn it, how did this guy disappear?!"

Zabuza Momochi had many questions he wanted to ask Chiga, but Chiga had mysteriously disappeared right under their noses.

That guy looks even more terrifying than Kisame Hoshigaki. Not only does he know so much information, but his strength is also extraordinary!
