Whether the ninja world is in chaos or not, I, Naruto, have the final say

There was no regard for the buildings and lives in this neighborhood.

The carpet bombing continued in waves, and the aftermath completely submerged the figures of the group of people.

"Solve it?"

"The other party is a demon, so don't take it lightly!"

"Another round of ninjutsu!"

Dozens of men in black whispered to each other and formed seals again.

However, before they could release their complementary joint ninjutsu, thick fog that was so thick that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face quickly spread, eventually covering even the entire street.

It's Zabuza's Mist Hidden Technique!

"Hold him!"

The leading ninja shouted loudly, and suddenly burst out with astonishing speed, rushing towards the ice prison.

He formed seals with his hands and released——

It seems like nothing happened.

The next moment, the two 'ghost brothers' were standing behind him.

"You guys are pretty secretive."

Naruto pulled out a kunai and attached a vacuum blade.

The Sage Mode does have a strong sense of chakra, but in an environment where chakra is everywhere, it is difficult to take on the task of reconnaissance.

There are very few ninjas in this world.

There are many people who can use chakra.

Even so, Naruto was not surprised that these guys would come, and he was even looking forward to it: "Finally I fished you out."

...The battle ended quickly.

After the war, the whole street was bombed to pieces.

The thick fog cleared, revealing dozens of decapitated headless bodies, Zabuza's silent killing technique combined with his beheading sword would be terrifying to most ninjas.

At the edge of the battlefield, Cardo and the rescued civilians were all under Bai's protection, shrouded in a semicircular ice cover.

The battle of the 'ghost brothers' also ended at the same time.

Naruto struggled to maintain his transformation, and with a vacuum blade kunai he cut off the enemy leader's right hand, and then stepped on his body -

"That's it?"

He went up and slapped the man's head, making it buzz.

As he spoke, he even tore off the black cloth covering the man's face.

Revealing a featureless face of a passerby.

"Tell me, who sent you here?" Naruto asked.

The shadow clone next to him began to play a musical instrument, trying to pull him into the illusion... but the latter was seriously injured, and the constant pain always pulled him back from the illusion.

Using pain to break illusions was something that both Kurenai Yuhi and Shikamaru did in the original novel, and it makes perfect sense.

"Haha, who knows..."

"As wandering ninjas like us, we can never meet a real employer. We can only rely on the introduction of the gold exchange..."

Coughing up a mouthful of blood, he simply collapsed to the ground and said, "I'm just a wandering ninja, I don't know anything, just do it."

Zabuza floated to Naruto's side.

He said with a hint of sarcasm: "Wandering ninja? The wandering ninja don't have your skills! Both the ninjutsu and the taijutsu have been specially trained. With your strength, you are qualified to be a jonin even in the five hidden villages."

The man with the broken arm was speechless for a few seconds, and then said: "So what?"

"Zabuza, I don't know your purpose or who is behind it, but you have touched something you shouldn't have touched... From now on, the underworld will no longer give you any shelter."

"Instead of questioning my identity, you should worry about yourself first!"

After saying this, he even smiled calmly: "Anyway, my mission has been completed..."

mission completed?

Naruto suddenly felt something was wrong and turned back sharply.

He found that everyone inside the ice wall was safe, except for Cardor, who stood there motionless like a corpse.

Looking closely, even the rise and fall of the chest was gone.

Bai unleashed the jutsu, and Naruto lifted Cardo out on the spot.

Upon examination, the heart had stopped beating.

The cause of death was either myocardial infarction or cerebral hemorrhage.

"You killed him? When... OH!"

He remembered that this person had made a strange seal before.

Just one stamp and Cardo is dead?

What kind of outrageous ninjutsu is this?

"It's a curse." The experienced Zabuza saw at a glance how Cardo would die and said, "The curse seal was engraved in the body in advance. Once the curse seal is activated, it can kill people."

"Some evil and dark organizations often use these methods to control their subordinates. The curse seals are usually buried in vital and hidden places, and usually cannot be found at all."

"What I said is correct. The so-called great businessman Cardo is nothing more than a pawn of some big shot... How sad. He didn't know his true identity until his death."

Is that right?

I had hypnotized Cardo with illusion before, and after some questioning, I found out that there was no big shot behind him, at most some nobles, businessmen and other partners of the same level.

These people colluded with each other and made arrangements to allow various black industrial chains to continue to this day.

"Many hidden villages will first clear the relevant memories of spies after sending them out. When they need intelligence, they will let them remember it again, and then continue to block their memories..."

"There are many similar methods. It's too easy to control an ordinary person. I guess they want to kill Cardo because they are worried that others will crack the spell and read Cardo's memory."

Zabuza continued to educate Naruto.

Having been a ninja for so many years, he has long been accustomed to darkness.

It really opened Naruto's eyes.

He suddenly remembered that Scorpion's subordinate in the original novel was a spy whose memory was wiped - he was no different from usual at other times, but he betrayed on the spot as soon as he recalled his memory.

I have to say, the intelligence war in the ninja world is disgusting and hard to guard against.

"Kado is dead, and there will be new ones to replace him..."

"The higher-ups have already sent people to relocate the strongholds that Cardo knew about, and the group of disabled people you rescued... are the last batch."

The nameless ninja with a broken arm probably knew that he was about to die, so he became talkative.

He sneered, "You guys who are trying to be heroes, there is no place for you in the entire ninja world now! What awaits you will be an endless...hunt!"

Zabuza raised his beheading sword: "Ah, I know, I know."

Naruto was shocked, "Wait, I haven't asked yet... Never mind, just do it."

He wanted to ask who was above this person.

But suddenly it occurred to me that even Cardo’s memory had been tampered with, let alone these professional ninjas?

As the saying goes, every profession has its specialties. I am not from Konoha's interrogation department. I can only rely on my illusions to fight the enemy, but not to get information.

If you don't chop down again, the sword will fall and fly away.

Naruto found a random spot to sit against the wall, questioning his life.

"I just wanted to make some quick money by cheating other people at first."

“How did it develop into this?”

Chapter 90 Return to the Land of Waves

"Kid, the world is collapsing? Can't bear it?"

Seeing Naruto's doubtful look, Zabuza walked up to him and started chatting like normal: "The ninja world is like this. If you want to be a good ninja, you have to get used to it quickly."

"Fuck you, what does the rotten ninja world have to do with me?"

Naruto looked up at the sky and said, "I am just sighing that the ninjas have done a good job of keeping secrets. None of these minions know who the boss behind the scenes is."

If you think about it carefully, the ninja's ability in disguise is truly abnormal.

Not to mention advanced operations like modifying memory and casting curses, just the shadow clone + transformation technique can make the so-called chain of evidence from the previous life go to pieces.

Ordinary people do things for ninjas unless the latter deliberately expose themselves.

Otherwise, even if they have worked together for ten years, they would not even know what their colleagues and bosses really look like.

"What can you do now that you know?" Zabuza sneered, "This kind of thing is never easy. If we follow the clues, we will eventually catch a big fish who is a veteran of the hidden village."

"If you make enemies with them, it is equivalent to offending tens of thousands of ninjas in the entire hidden village; the hardship involved is much more difficult than fighting a rebellious ninja like me..."

After these ten days of contact, he was no longer as wary of Naruto as before.

On the contrary, I feel that this kid looks mature, but is actually naive.

Well, he is a Konoha ninja after all.

And he's just a kid who just graduated.

"Kado is dead, and our mission is over."

Zabuza spoke up again: "After this trip, apart from the money for settling those poor souls, after we split it 50-50, Bai Ye and I will still have an income of 200 to 300 million... enough for us to use for a lifetime."

Naruto didn't say anything, he just turned his head away.

Look at the civilians who are missing limbs and are being taken care of by Bai.

For the first time, Naruto felt that this world was so real.

After all, hot-blooded comics won't depict such dark things. The most unbearable thing is at most Orochimaru's human laboratory, which is a harmonious version of the dark priest...

He had also anticipated that there was darkness in the ninja world.

But I never thought that this darkness could be so exciting and disgusting.

It almost broke through my psychological defenses.

"It's over, let's say goodbye now."

Naruto's tone was a little tired: "Take this money and find a peaceful place to live in seclusion. Remember to disguise yourself so that those bounty hunters won't recognize you..."

"If you ever have trouble making it, you can come to Konoha and ask me for help."

Zabuza was silent for a long time after hearing this.

Then he said, "Naive kid, the relationship between us is not that good. At most, we can only be considered temporary partners in a mission."

"I'm going to give you a piece of advice! When you meet other strange ninjas in the future, especially traitors like me, don't give up your trust easily."

As he spoke, he weighed the beheading sword in his hand.

When he received the first sum of money, Xun Zabuza took back the knife.

He could have turned against them, or gone his separate ways at the first opportunity.

But because of Bai's expectations...it was all this guy's fault that he was delayed for ten days!

Such childish, innocent and meaningless things.

It's not suitable for me at all!

------

The next day, Naruto returned to the Land of Waves after running all the way in Sage Mode.

Following the memory of the shadow clone, he came to the bridge in Wave Country that was almost completed, and soon found Sasuke training nearby.

The latter faced the stone and punched out slowly -
