After silently reciting a couple of sentences to herself, Lu looked at that captivating face, hardened her heart, and asked directly, "What's your name? What position do you hold at this newspaper? How much do you know about your editor-in-chief?"

This long string of questions made Minazuki Tetsuju realize that these people had come to find him.

He was originally captured because he was bored and wanted to have some fun. He thought they were some kind of robbers, but he didn't expect it.

He glanced at the group of people.

That's right, this outfit definitely belongs to the Kirigakure's Anbu.

Looks like we're being watched!

"Oh, I understand."

Tie Zhu drawled out, his tone full of mockery, "So you're here to catch people who are being interrogated."

"If you know, then answer obediently!" Lu stared at that face, and then couldn't help but keep staring at it.

If the person in front of you doesn't resist.

He wouldn't make things difficult for him.

Yes, that's it.

However, the next second he noticed the change in the person in front of him, and his expression changed drastically as if he had seen something terrifying.

"you you you!"

He stared blankly at the person in front of him, unable to utter a single word.

"Since you're here, don't leave!"

On the exquisitely beautiful face that Mizuki Tetsuki raised, a pair of purple-rimmed eyes shimmered within their sockets.

At this moment, an eerie light was flashing within that Rinnegan!

Chapter 216: The Curtain Rises

at the same time.

Another location in the Land of Hot Water.

Compared to News Corporation's headquarters, which is located next to a bustling city center, this place is rather quiet and secluded.

Comparatively speaking, the scenery here is actually better.

Surrounded by green mountains, a clear river flows through the area at the foot of the mountains, with dense forests on both banks, so lush and green that even the air you breathe smells exceptionally sweet.

Right at the bend in the river, there is a giant tree.

In the middle of the giant tree stands a huge treehouse, the residence of Zabuza Momochi, who holds a series of titles such as "Hero of the Land of Waves," "Savior of the Hidden Mist," and "Good Friend of the People of the Land of Water."

I don’t know if Zabuza is used to it, but he lived in a treehouse in the Land of Waves and the same way in the Land of Hot Springs.

In external communications, this is precisely a manifestation of the fine virtue of thrift!

It was midday, and the sun was high in the sky.

Inside the main house of the wooden cabin, Zabuza was sitting quietly reading a book.

Zabuza always felt that what that person said was right. He was about to become the Mizukage, so he had to keep up with the cultural literacy.

From now on, even if you can't speak eloquently, at least you can't use foul language!

Zabuza spent this period of time reading books, which was during which he was very obedient.

however.

Today's weather is a bit unusual.

On such a fine day, why is there an unusual fog rising around the cabin?

Zabuza hadn't paid much attention to it, since although the weather in the Land of Hot Water was much better than in the Land of Water, the country still had just as much water.

Therefore, foggy weather is not uncommon.

However, as time went on, the fog grew thicker and thicker, until it became so thick that one could not see their hand in front of their face.

"Are they enemies?"

Zabuza muttered to himself, keenly sensing the chakra contained within the mist.

Only those from the Hidden Mist Village could use this kind of mist concealment technique.

can.

They actually used this move on me without any warning?

The technique of concealing oneself in mist!

This is an assassination technique exclusively used by Kirigakure!

Someone in Kirigakure wants to kill me?

Zabuza was quite puzzled.

Just two days ago, he learned from Minazuki Tetsuju that the plan was progressing very smoothly. In another six months at most, he would be able to go to Kirigakure, the village he was loyal to, as its master, and become the Mizukage, amidst the warm welcome of the people.

What is this place before us?

They've actually started targeting me.

who is it?

Zabuza was confused, but his hands didn't slow down. "If it's just 'Hidden Mist Technique,' then I'm your ancestor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the fog thickened instantly, and Zabuza vanished from the spot.

"Captain~"

A voice whispered from within the fog, "The target has disappeared!"

"Huh? Weren't you inside just now?"

"But just now, he disappeared!"

"Fool! Look around, see if the other party is also a master of the Mist Concealment Technique!"

"Yes!"

"Keep the change, please!"

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice interrupted their conversation.

"Who are you?" The captain's voice sounded inexplicably panicked through the fog.

The enemy had silently crept up to them; if they wanted to eliminate them...

"I am the person you are looking for!"

The sound seemed to come from all directions. The captain nervously looked around, but found no sign of the enemy.

"Where are you?"

He looked flustered, and the composure on his face had long since vanished.

“I am right here beside you.”

The voice seemed to come from near and far, and the captain and another team member felt an omnipresent sense of oppression.

The surrounding area was shrouded in thick white fog, so dense that even two people facing each other could barely see each other.

The enemy is hiding in this thick fog, and we can kill them anytime, anywhere!

They were originally hunters!

But now that their roles have been reversed, they've become the prey?

"Is I your target? What do you want to do? Kill me?"

Zabuza's voice was so ethereal, as if it were far away, yet it was right in front of him in the next moment.

Zabuza had now taken the initiative, constantly pressuring his opponent psychologically while also interrogating him.

This was his favorite tactic before!

He enjoys the expressions on his prey's faces even more; those expressions of fear and dread please him!

Seeing this, the captain knew that the two of them were probably no match for each other.

However, thinking of something, he started to pull and try to delay as much as possible, "Zabuza, the newspapers all say that you are a great person, loyal to Kirigakure. You also came from Kirigakure, so you naturally know the rules of Kirigakure."

"Ah!"

The omnipresent voice sighed coldly, causing the surrounding temperature to drop by three degrees.

Zabuza bluntly exposed their stubbornness, saying, "I know there are more than just the two of you, look~"

Thump~~

Two objects flew over from within the fog.

They initially intended to draw their weapons to defend themselves, but upon recognizing the incoming object, they immediately ceased their attack.

"Oni-Hero? Ni-Maru?" The captain was furious upon witnessing the two men's miserable state!

It turns out that the people Zabuza threw out were actually the corpses of two other members of their team?

Shouldn't these two have been hiding and providing support to them long ago?

Why were they discovered, even before they were killed?

"What, you're still not going to talk? If you don't, this will be what happens to you two!"

Upon hearing that voice, seemingly from the abyss, issue a death notice once more, the captain gave a bitter smile.

His voice was unusually calm, "Zabuza, I wonder if you still remember me. I never expected that after more than ten years, your strength has grown to this level. It's truly astonishing."

The captain knew the strength of his two subordinates; even he would have to expend considerable effort to overcome them. Yet, the other party simply vanished from their sight for a moment before instantly killing them.

The gap in strength between the two sides is like an insurmountable chasm!

Only unconventional methods can create miracles!

After he finished speaking, no sound came from the fog, but he clearly felt a gaze fixed on him from within the fog.

However, how could one see anything clearly in such a thick fog?
