Chapter 45 The Avengers

"If this punch lands, I'll die!"

Haku stared at the fist that had stopped in front of him, feeling the wind that was whipping up from it, which stung his face. He swallowed hard, then turned to look at Zabuza lying there.

Zabuza also looked at Li Chuan with a somewhat uncertain expression:

"What do you want to talk about?"

He never expected that Bai, with his strength, would lose to this little monk in front of him, whose identity he still didn't know, and the little monk had been very relaxed from beginning to end.

If the young monk hadn't held back, Bai would have been killed, and he would naturally have met the same fate.

What he didn't know was that Li Chuan didn't have much chakra left either. The reason he was able to remain so composed throughout was entirely due to his intelligence advantage and the fact that he had planned a targeted battle strategy in advance.

If they didn't know Bai's information, it would be hard to say who would win if the two of them fought.

"Actually, I wanted to invite you to join my organization!"

Li Chuan sat cross-legged opposite Zabuza and then smiled slightly.

Zabuza frowned:

"What organization?"

"The Avengers!"

Li Chuan coughed and explained:

"It's very simple. You can think of it as a mutually beneficial organization formed for revenge. There are no mandatory requirements. It's just that everyone exchanges information and helps each other."

The Naruto world is not a safe world. If he relies on himself alone, many things will be difficult to accomplish. He also needs some capable helpers.

This is why he specifically timed his trip to the Land of Waves. If it were simply to do business in the Land of Waves, wouldn't it have been easier to come after Gato died?

"Exchange of intelligence? Mutual assistance? I don't believe you guys, nor do I believe such a good thing exists in this world."

When Zabuza heard Li Chuan's explanation, there was no belief in his eyes, and he even looked disdainful.

In the treacherous ninja world, even ninjas from the same village are constantly scheming against each other. It's incredibly naive to expect ninjas from other villages to share information and help each other.

Li Chuan had anticipated Zabuza's reaction, but he had made some preparations.

If Zabuza cannot be completely persuaded to join his organization, then even if Zabuza agrees now by threatening him with force, he will still regret it later, so it will be of no use.

"Here's what we'll do. If you're willing to join us, I can tell you some information that should be very important to you first, and then I can return your executioner's sword to you."

"I'm in!"

Zabuza agreed almost without thinking.

He didn't really want to join, but he could get back the decapitation sword and get some information for free, so why not?

At that moment, he suddenly felt that this little monk seemed a bit too naive.

Seeing this, Li Chuan simply smiled, then took out the sealing scroll, retrieved the Executioner's Blade, and handed it to Haku, who was standing next to Zabuza. He then continued speaking:

"This information concerns your Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi. In fact, his later reinstatement of the Blood Mist Tyranny was not his own will, but rather he was controlled by genjutsu."

"What?!"

Upon hearing Li Chuan's information, Zabuza's eyes widened suddenly, and veins bulged on his forehead.

"Is your information accurate?"

"The Fourth Mizukage's genjutsu has been dispelled. It was a ninja from your village named Ao who saw through it with his Byakugan. The true power of Kirigakure has now been handed over to Genji."

However, because spreading such a family scandal would greatly damage Kirigakure's prestige, only the village's higher-ups know about it. If you ever manage to sneak back into Kirigakure, you'll see that Kirigakure is no longer implementing the Blood Mist policy.

Li Chuan recounted the information he remembered.

His greatest advantages in this world are threefold:

First, he was initially a prince of the Land of Fire. Although he had no real power, he held a very high position, had many privileges, and was very wealthy.

Secondly, he possesses intelligence; he knows information on almost all ninjas and secrets about the major ninja villages.

Thirdly, regarding the plot development, although his appearance will inevitably lead to significant changes later on, he can still gain considerable benefits in the early stages.

Now he is using his own strengths to attract Zabuza to become his ally.

"No wonder, no wonder he turned out that way."

Zabuza clenched his fists so tightly that he didn't care at all that the joints on his body that Kakashi had stabbed with kunai earlier were bleeding again.

Based on his recollection, he was now fairly certain that the information Li Chuan had provided was true.

When the Third Mizukage implemented the Blood Mist policy, he killed all his comrades. In order to end the tyranny, he, along with Suigetsu Fubuki, Hozuki Mangetsu, and others, supported Yagura to become the Fourth Mizukage.

However, the good days did not last long. For some reason, Yagura's personality suddenly changed, and he restarted the Blood Mist policy, which was even more cruel than the previous three generations.

The senior, Suigetsu Fugu, tried to investigate in secret but was killed. Helpless, he and Mangetsu gathered a group of companions to assassinate Yagura, but the assassination failed, and he was the only one who managed to escape from the village.

In the years that followed, he continued to undertake missions to raise funds and even took in Haku, who possessed the Ice Shield Bloodline Limit, all in order to return and seek revenge, overthrow Yagura's rule, and establish a new Kirigakure.

"Lord Zabuza, please take care of your health!"

Seeing Zabuza's wounds burst open in anger, Haku hurriedly took out bandages to bandage Zabuza, but Li Chuan raised his hand to stop him.

"I know some medical ninjutsu, leave it to me."

"Thank you so much!"

As Bai watched Zabuza's wounds gradually heal under Li Chuan's Healing Palm Technique, his favorability towards Li Chuan increased dramatically.

"Do you know who used illusion magic to control Yagura?"

Zabuza looked up at Li Chuan, his eyes filled with hatred.

"My people are still investigating. Don't worry, as a member of our Avengers, I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

Li Chuan smiled and then extended his right hand to Zabuza:

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Marukawa, and I am currently training at the Fire Temple."

He's not stupid; he certainly wouldn't tell Zabuza all the information. Expecting Zabuza to repay him for any benefits he receives is unrealistic.

"Momochi Zabuza, your surname is Madoka?"

After being treated by Li Chuan, Zabuza has basically regained his mobility and has also extended his right hand.

However, when she heard Li Chuan's surname, she showed a surprised expression, because Yuan was the surname of the royal family of the Land of Fire.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I am also a prince of the Land of Fire."

Li Chuan withdrew his hand and replied indifferently.

Upon hearing Li Chuan's identity, Zabuza and Haku both widened their eyes.

No wonder, no wonder he knew such secret information; it turns out he had this other identity.
