With a sigh, the captain continued, "You guessed right, we came here to assassinate you. Now that the assassination attempt failed, you should know the discipline of Kirigakure."

"bring it on!"

The captain roared and spread his arms wide, making a gesture of accepting his fate without resistance.

"team leader!"

The teammate next to him tugged at his clothes, but it did not change the captain's mind.

whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~

A whooshing sound of a large sword echoed through the air, clearly indicating that a massive object was rapidly approaching.

However, due to the thick fog, the two could not see the large sword at all.

Wait, I see it!

By the time they saw the flying blade, it was too late for them to react.

stab-

puff-

The two men were cut in two by the sharp and heavy broadsword, like rag dolls.

swoosh~

The next second, a figure appeared and directly grasped the hilt of the flying broadsword.

In the thick fog, the blurry figure looked down at the two figures and sighed silently, "How pathetic!"

puff-

Suddenly, the sound of a sharp blade piercing through a body rang out.

Zabuza looked down and saw a shuriken suddenly appear and pierce his abdomen.

At this moment, bright red blood gushed out like an inexhaustible fountain, instantly staining his clothes red.

Zabuza looked back with a cold gaze, and the figure was none other than the former captain. When he looked back at the spot where the body had been, there was only the body of that team member, while the captain's original body was wet.

Upon realizing this ability, Zabuza instantly thought of something, "You're from the Hozuki family."

"That's right,"

The captain grinned cruelly. "I didn't expect Zabuza-senpai to be so careless! In that case..."

Just as he was feeling smug, crash—

Zabuza, who had been stabbed, suddenly turned into a puddle of water. It turned out that the Zabuza he had stabbed was actually a water clone.

when?

He thought he had succeeded, but...

"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"

A sound rang out from close by, and by the time Hozuki Kogetsu reacted and turned around, a burst of fire had already filled his entire field of vision!

The fire dragon drew closer and closer, and in an instant, it swallowed it whole.

A moment later.

creak creak—

Zabuza walked over, stepping on the withered branches. He looked at the charred body but made no attempt to test whether it was dead.

He knows his own abilities.

Since that day, he has reached the pinnacle of mastery in the fire attribute, whether in terms of proficiency with fire escaping techniques, or in terms of nature transformation and form transformation.

This level of escaping technique would be far too easy to deal with a mere Jonin.

just.

These people are really weak!

Thinking back to when he was hidden in the mist, what kind of teams were they?

What kind of garbage is this now?

"I never imagined that after more than ten years away, the ninjas of Kirigakure would have become so lax. If I were to become the Mizukage, I would have to train these ninjas properly; they don't even possess basic assassination skills!"

Zheng—

Zabuza picked up the large sword from the ground, turned around and left, but after taking only a few steps, he turned back and frowned as he carefully examined the enemy's corpse on the ground.

The Dark Side?

As a rogue ninja who escaped from Kirigakure, Zabuza easily recognized their identities—the Anbu.

But, their goal was to assassinate themselves?

"It seems the plan went awry. How pathetic. My mission, Zabuza, was to save you all, but instead, they came to assassinate me. How pathetic." With a sigh, Zabuza shouldered his greatsword and walked back.

"white!"

Arriving at the foot of the wooden house, Zabuza called out.

swoosh~

A small figure appeared and landed beside him.

This is a young man with long hair, who is quite handsome at a young age. One can imagine that he will grow up to be a stunning beauty, like the 'Mizunazuki Teppei'.

"Zabuza-sama."

Mizuki Haku called out respectfully.

Zabuza glanced at Haku and saw that there was no sign of battle on him. He showed no surprise at all.

The enemy's surprise attack wasn't just aimed at him; it also targeted Bai. A total of two squads, six people in total, were heading straight for him, while two went to Bai's side.

However, given Bai's strength, the outcome was self-evident.

"Have you gotten anything out of them during the interrogation?"

Do not kill him.

Having gained nothing, he naturally placed his hopes on Bai.

Upon hearing this, Bai shook his head, "They are very tight-lipped; we haven't obtained any information."

"嘁~"

Zabuza couldn't help but curl a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth. "That's the only good thing about the Hidden Mist Ninja. Their high-pressure policies make them extremely tight-lipped, otherwise they could easily be wiped out."

This is what the mist hides.

That was true at least in his time.

This is his original intention in making him determined to change the Hidden Mist Village!

With this thought flashing through his mind, Zabuza turned and left, but this time he didn't go back to the house; instead, he headed into the distance.

"What are you going to do, Zabuza-san?"

Zabuza paused for a moment, then glanced back at him out of the corner of his eye. "The plan has changed. They've come to our doorstep, so of course we should go and greet them."

After saying that, he turned and left, as if he had made up his mind.

Bai naturally followed immediately.

The two, one adult and one child, did not head directly to the Land of Water, but instead took a detour to the News Corporation headquarters.

After all, the entire strategy for conquering the Land of Water was devised by Minazuki Tetsuju, and their activities also had to conform to the plan.

But when Zabuza arrived at News Corporation headquarters, he discovered something hilarious.

Surprisingly, there were also four assassins from Kirigakure here. Judging from their clothing, they were the same as the group that attacked him, all from Kirigakure's Anbu.

These four people actually dared to attack this 'Minazuki Iron Pillar', daring to attack this very being?

"Have the higher-ups in Kirigakure become so incompetent?"

It's worth noting that News Corporation rose to prominence in just a few months, with its various news scoops boosting sales but also attracting more enemies. So why has News Corporation remained standing for so long, without any major upheavals?

Naturally, it's because of the club president and all those members!

Thinking about this, Zabuza felt a chill run down his spine.

So many members, each one of them was no less important than him.

If this force were to conquer Kirigakure, Kirigakure would be powerless to resist.

It's not just Kikage; it's probably the same for all five major world powers!

Thinking of this, Zabuza felt a little apprehensive, but this was also the reason why he relied on the News Corporation.

When Tie Zhu saw him arrive, he was surprised for a moment, but then he instantly understood.

He asked with a smile, "What, were you attacked too?"

That smile, that smile!

Zabuza immediately avoided eye contact.

Even though he was a man in his twenties, and even though he felt he would never love again, this man's charm still stirred something within him.

Yes.

Even though she already knew the person in front of her was a man!

"Yes."

Zabuza answered confidently, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the four assassins. "Are these the ones who attacked you?"

"No,"

Mizuki Tetsuju denied it, saying, "These people have come to seek refuge with me."

"Join us?" Zabuza was utterly astonished.

As far as he knew, the ninjas of Kirigakure were all people with 'discipline' ingrained in their minds. How could there be any fools who would travel so far to defect to the enemy?

Looking at the four of them again, there were indeed no signs of battle on them. Although each of them looked a little dazed and had dead fish eyes, they were all full of vitality.

"What intelligence do you have?" Zabuza sat down in his chair, his large sword held upright beside him.
