"By the way, you should also put on the chakra armor. I need you to defeat Kakashi with an absolute advantage. If you can't do that, then you have no reason to live."

Bai was emanating a chilling aura, and frost instantly covered the vases and floor in the room.

Zabuza Momochi trembled slightly, not daring to disobey Haku, and slowly bowed as he withdrew to collect his chakra armor and his accompanying subordinates.

Chapter 352 The Story of White

Bai is a descendant of the Snow Clan.

He is male, yet he possesses the appearance of a beautiful young girl.

He possesses the Ice Release bloodline limit inherited from his mother. Later, his mother was killed by the villagers who feared the bloodline limit, and Haku went on the run as a result.

On his journey of wandering and fleeing, he stumbled upon a peculiar fruit.

Starving, Shiro ate the fruit that tasted like excrement and subsequently gained the power of the Ice-Ice Fruit.

After awakening his Ice Release bloodline limit and obtaining the Ice-Ice Fruit, Haku's strength skyrocketed.

The immense power also fueled the darkness within him, leading him to return to the village and freeze all the ignorant villagers who had killed his mother into ice sculptures.

After avenging his great grudge, Bai continued his aimless wandering until he arrived at the Land of Snow.

The leader of the Snow Country, Fuuka Nutō, recognized Haku's strength and adopted him as his son.

After years of being influenced and educated by the wind, flowers, raging waves, and waves, Bai, who originally still had a little bit of conscience, completely went astray and became an ambitious man.

Bai looks down on the low-level pursuit of those who only want to dig for treasure amidst the raging waves.

He preferred to establish his own ninja village using the chakra armor technology of the Land of Snow and contend for supremacy in the ninja world.

Haku's idea gained the support of some of the ninjas in the Land of Snow, so Haku led dozens of followers to defect from the Land of Snow.

Haku and his followers set foot on the Ninja World Continent, where they encountered Zabuza Momochi, a rogue ninja from Kirigakure.

Zabuza was easily defeated by Haku, and after learning about Haku's ideals, Zabuza willingly joined Haku's side.

With his knowledge and experience from being born in a great ninja village, Zabuza quickly helped Haku establish a base in the Land of Waves, which Zabuza selfishly named New Kirigakure.

Zabuza attempted to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage due to his dissatisfaction with the village's tyranny, but failed and fled the village, becoming a rogue ninja.

Despite being a rogue ninja, he constantly thought about saving and changing the village.

Zabuza willingly became Haku's subordinate because he wanted to use Haku's power to destroy the old Kirigakure and establish a new one.

Haku did not object to the name because he was once considered a member of the Land of Water, and he also wanted to replace the Hidden Mist Village as one of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

The two hit it off immediately and took control of Gato, a merchant from the Land of Waves, using his funds to recruit wandering ninjas and produce chakra armor.

Many of the Kirigakure ninja who defected because they couldn't stand the Blood Mist policy actively joined the new Kirigakure when Zabuza recruited them.

Having quietly developed to the point where it is now, the new Hidden Mist Village has ten Jonin, over one hundred Chunin, and over three hundred Genin.

Although their strength is still very weak, once these ninjas put on chakra armor, a tremendous change will occur.

When a Chunin puts on chakra armor, their strength can surge to the level of a Jonin; when a Genin puts on chakra armor, their strength can surge to the level of a Chunin.

Although wearing chakra armor does not elevate a Jonin to Kage level, it only slightly increases their power.

But this also means that Haku has at least a hundred Jonin under his command.

As for Haku, even without relying on his chakra armor, he is still a Kage-level being, and may even surpass the average Kage-level being.

While it doesn't reach the level of super-Kage like Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, it would be very easy for it to kill a regular Kage-level figure like the Third Hokage.

……

After Zabuza Momochi received his mission and left the office, Haku summoned the other Jonin in.

Black Hoe Raiya, Wolf Fang Avalanche, Crane Wing Fubuki, Winter Bear Freezing Rain, and others walked in one after another.

Bai assigned them the task of transferring funds and production machinery, instructing them to load the goods onto Kado's merchant ship and sail through the Land of Waves, the Land of Whirlpools, and the Land of Bears before arriving at the Land of Craftsmen.

Haku has already amassed a considerable fortune by controlling maritime trade routes through the Land of Waves.

Now he plans to conquer the Land of Craftsmen, and use the technology of the Craftsman Ninja Village to further enhance the power of the Chakra Armor and strengthen the village's power.

The ninja village of the Land of Craftsmen was founded by the famous ninja craftsman Seimei. They were skilled in making and using ninja tools, and most of the ninja tools used by ninjas from various countries were supplied by them.

The ninja tools mentioned here are not things like kunai or shuriken that require no skill.

Seimei, the progenitor of ninjas in the Land of Craftsmen, was a being who received the inheritance of the Sage of Six Paths and was able to forge special ninja tools.

They crafted magical ninja tools such as the Thunder God Sword, the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure, the Kusanagi Sword, and the Uchiha Fan.

In the Naruto world, ninja tools can be divided into three categories. One category is ordinary ninja tools, which have no special abilities and are simply forged from ore.

The second type is magic weapon-type ninja tools. They only need to be injected with chakra to unleash various unique abilities, such as releasing lightning, hurricanes, and reflecting attacks.

Some things that even ninjutsu cannot do, magical ninja tools might be able to do.

The third type is scientific ninja tools. These tools require pre-stored ninjutsu and then activated and released using chakra.

These kinds of ninja tools can only do what ninjutsu can do, and scientific ninja tools are powerless to do what ninjutsu cannot do.

The chakra armor technology that Haku currently possesses is essentially a scientific ninja tool. This armor can multiply the wearer's chakra and form a chakra protective shield.

He is now preparing to travel to the Land of Craftsmen, intending to seize their Infinite Hole Armor technology and integrate it into his chakra armor.

The Infinite Hole Armor is a type of armor-like ninja tool unique to the Land of Craftsmen. Its main ability is to absorb the attacker's chakra.

Imagine if a chakra armor could absorb an enemy's chakra, then use the absorbed chakra to form a protective shield, or even provide the absorbed chakra to the wearer—wouldn't that be incredibly powerful?

Ordinary chakra armor can defend against A-rank ninjutsu, and with the added ability to absorb chakra, it can probably withstand S-rank ninjutsu.

At that time, a genin wearing chakra armor would probably be able to fight against a special jonin.

Bai is determined to conquer the Kingdom of Craftsmen this time.

Even without Tazuna bringing Konoha ninjas to cause trouble, Haku was already planning to go to the Land of Craftsmen.

He stood up and watched from the window as huge, sophisticated instruments were sealed with scrolls, along with various grains, money, and supplies, being transported into the ship's hold.

Watching the ninjas board the large ship filled me with excitement.

His ambition has been brewing for long enough. Several years have passed since he defected from the Land of Snow, and the Snow Ninja who followed him have begun to complain. If he doesn't launch a war that will attract the world's attention soon, his ambition will rot away.

Bai took out an invitation from the drawer and fiddled with it in his hand.

This invitation was sent by Orochimaru, a rogue ninja from Konoha.

Orochimaru planned to infiltrate Konoha during the Chunin Exams and join forces with the Sand Village to attack Konoha from within. He sent the invitation to Haku, hoping that Haku's new Kirigakure village would join forces with them.

"The destruction plan for Konoha? This is a perfect stage to showcase my new Kirigakure village on the ruins of the former ninja world's overlord, Konoha. It will surely shock the entire ninja world."

Chapter 353 Attack

Zabuza Momochi, acting on Haku's orders, gathered ten Chunin, who donned chakra armor, and set off to ambush the Konoha ninja.

The Oni brothers, who had just dealt with the derelict samurai, were also in Zabuza's group.

The stench of blood still lingered on them as they approached Zabuza with cruel smiles: "Lord Zabuza, could we brothers lead the charge in the upcoming battle? Killing those samurai wasn't exciting enough; we want to test the mettle of Konoha ninjas."

Zabuza glared at the two of them and said, "Kakashi is an elite Jonin of Konoha. He has been famous for a long time, and countless experts have died at his hands. The two of you are just courting death by going up against him."

The demon brothers chuckled and said, "Lord Zabuza, you misunderstand. We two brothers want to fight the brats around Kakashi. Those brats look like fresh graduates from the Ninja Academy. Dealing with them is a piece of cake."

"Take care of a few genin brats? Fine, you guys can deal with those brats and distract Kakashi, giving me a better chance of killing him."

Zabuza agreed to the Oni Brothers' suggestion, "You and the other Chunin will lie in ambush. I will lead the attack and launch a surprise attack on Kakashi and his group. If the attack fails, you will immediately show yourselves and attack Kakashi's three subordinates and the person who commissioned the mission."

"Yes, sir!" the ten Chunin answered in unison, their morale soaring.

Soon, Zabuza and his group met Kakashi and his group, who had crossed the sea to reach the Land of Waves.

Zabuza and his men hid in the bushes and tree canopies.

Seeing Kakashi and the others getting closer and closer to their encirclement, Zabuza decisively made his move.

He hurled the Executioner's Blade with force, and it flew out like a rapidly spinning disc, slashing towards Kakashi at the front of the group.

The guillotine made such a loud noise that Kakashi noticed it instantly.

"Oh no, it's a sneak attack!"

Faced with the rapidly spinning Executioner's Blade, Kakashi dared not take it head-on and ended up sprawling on the ground in a sorry state.

But as soon as he lay down, Naruto and the others at the back of the group became the targets of the Executioner's Blade.

Zabuza Momochi looked at Kakashi with disdain when he saw his strategy.

So this is what Konoha ninjas, who always talk about the bond between comrades, are really like? When faced with the threat of death, they betray their comrades and subordinates without hesitation?

Just when Zabuza Momochi thought there was no need to send the Demon Brothers to deal with Kakashi's subordinates, an unexpected event occurred.

A hand reached out and precisely grasped the hilt of the rapidly spinning decapitation sword, forcibly stopping its rotation.

Zabuza's eyes were about to pop out.

He knew very well how terrifying the decapitation sword he had thrown was. The rapidly spinning sword cleaved trees and shattered rocks. Even he couldn't stop it until it exhausted its last bit of power.

However, one of Kakashi's subordinates was able to catch the Executioner's Blade with brute force and precise movements while it was spinning at high speed.

How could someone with such strength and insight be just a newly graduated ninja?

Zabuza looked at the little ninja holding the Executioner's Blade; he was a blond-haired, blue-eyed boy.

His appearance was ordinary, but his expression was full of confidence. He raised the heavy guillotine with one hand, held it up to the sunlight, and admired his weapon.

"What a fine blade! This special material can actually resonate with my magical power. I've been worried about not having a suitable weapon, so why not forge this blade into my magical flying sword!"

Naruto easily caught the Executioner's Blade, admiring it as he channeled his magic into it to refine the weapon.

Although there is no method for forging flying swords in the Heavenly Calligraphy technique.

However, Sun Wukong in the Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons world had learned some rudimentary methods of refining magical artifacts.

In the world of Demon Exorcism, Sun Wukong wields a golden cudgel, a treasure he forged himself.

The weapons used by Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing in the original Journey to the West all have impressive origins.
