Chapter 198: Zabuza's Mouth-sweeping Escape and Kimimaro's Recruitment
"You are no match for me."
“Even if all the people here were added together, they would only be a warm-up exercise before the dance.”
Haneda cut off the beheading sword and then looked at the Anbu ninja from Kirigakure.
"I give you two choices. One is to pretend you saw nothing and leave. The other is to die here."
Haneda looked intentionally or unintentionally at the hill where he had stayed before.
At this time, a man wearing a yellow vortex mask and a red cloud cloak stood there, watching here quietly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Fourth Mizukage walked over.
"Now is not the time to take action, go."
After saying that, the Yondaime Mizukage left with the even more confused Kirigakure Anbu.
Haneda smiled and said:
"So you've been watching, Oh Bitto."
Obito said nothing, but used Kamui to disappear over the hill.
Seeing that Obito was still avoiding him, Haneda smiled and looked at Zabuza who was wary of him.
"Do you know why you are being hunted by the Anbu?"
"The people in the underground exchange leaked your information. They betrayed you."
"And the same is true for Kirigakure. They just think you are a traitor, nothing more."
"Why would you make sacrifices for a village like this?"
"What's it got to do with you! Kill me if you want!" Zabuza yelled.
Perhaps because he was too excited, Zabuza coughed several times in a row after he finished speaking, and even coughed up a large mouthful of black blood.
He was poisoned.
The Kirigakure Anbu showed no mercy to their former companions.
"You're going to die."
Haneda came in front of Zabuza and watched him collapse powerlessly on the ground, struggling to attack Haneda.
But he was so weak that he fell to the ground helplessly.
"After you die, the village you care about will celebrate the death of a traitor like you."
“And the goal you are striving for will stop moving forward.”
Haneda squatted down, looked into Zabuza's eyes, and continued,
"I heard my nephew say that people only truly see themselves at the last moment."
"And what kind of person are you?"
Haneda inserted the beheading sword in front of Zabuza's eyes.
"When I was a Mist Ninja, I had to kill my companions. When I was a rebel Ninja, I had to kill my companions again."
"You therefore attempted a coup and changed the village."
“You raise money and come back with a vengeance.”
"But what can you change in the end? Even if you succeed, it will only overturn the Blood Mist Policy, and the ninja will still be a tool."
"And the nature of ninjas has not changed. Mist ninjas must still kill their companions according to the rules, just like you did in the first half of your life."
Zabuza raised his eyes and stared at Haneda.
Every word Haneda said pierced his heart like needles.
He felt life slipping away and death approaching.
But the goal he was working towards was getting further and further away.
Because of the essence of ninja that Haneda talked about, the goal they were fighting for disappeared at the end.
"Join me, follow me."
"I will change the ninja system and reform the entire world."
Haneda reached out to Zabuza.
Zabuza looked at the sun pattern in Haneda's pupils which were gradually enlarging.
At this moment, the light penetrated the thick fog that covered the village and came into his face and eyes.
"it is good."
Zabuza said subconsciously.
…………
On the other side of Kirigakure, the coup d'état of the Hyuga clan ended under the stranglehold of Kirigakure.
Kimimaro looked at the tribesmen who had died in the valley, not a single one was left.
Even the clan's land was burned down by a fire started by the Mist.
The prison where they were held was also destroyed.
All the people and things that recorded his past disappeared in this coup.
Kimimaro became a complete orphan.
No parents, no tribe.
No one needs him anymore, and no one cares about him anymore.
In a daze, Kimimaro walked to an inconspicuous corner.
He squatted down, hugged his legs and lowered his head.
At this moment, a flower quietly bloomed in front of him.
The flowers are so bright and exude unparalleled beauty.
Kimimaro stared at the blooming flowers, lost in thought for a moment.
Suddenly, he raised the bone knife and prepared to chop off the flowers in front of him.
"What's the point of blooming in such a remote place where no one appreciates and no one cares!"
A hand held his little hand that was wielding the knife, and at the same time a soft voice sounded in his ears.
“When you see it, the flower has meaning.”
"Like I found you."
A warm hand stroked Kimimaro's cheek, and Kimimaro blushed slightly as he looked at Haneda in front of him.
"If you can't find the meaning of your existence, then I will give you one for now."
Haneda looked down at the blooming flowers and smiled.
"Just as this flower blooms for you, please bloom for me briefly."
"Okay." Kimimaro said with a flushed face.
Until a beautiful child came in front of Haneda and Haneda rubbed the other's hair, Kimimaro's eyes instantly became alert.
"My name is Bai, please take care of me." Bai Chaojunmaru greeted gently.
Seeing this, Kimimaro snorted coldly and said, "Kaguya Kimimaro."
…………
After saving Zabuza, Haneda assigned Zabuza a mission.
The black market hidden in Kirigakure was destroyed.
Regardless of whether it was a personal vendetta or to eradicate evil in the village, Zabuza was very determined in carrying out this mission.
Of course, he also received an unexpected news.
That was the reason why he was discovered and hunted by Kirigakure. It turned out that Haneda spent 10 million to let someone in the black market leak the information.
But Haneda sent him to work in the black market!
This made Zabuza feel Haneda's trust and he respected Haneda even more.
But what Zabuza didn't know was that the Flying Thunder God Mark had already been planted in his body.
Whenever Zabuza betrays Haneda or leaves alone, Haneda will instantly appear beside Zabuza and kill him to prevent any future trouble.
In a word, the reform plan revealed by Haneda must not be leaked.
Even if Zabuza only knows a small part of it.
Zabuza took the beheading sword that had been repaired after sucking blood and returned to the cave where Haneda was hiding.
At this time, inside the cave, Haneda was making a fire and grilling meat.
And there were two hungry children beside him.
One is Bai, whom Zabuza had met before, and the other is a white-haired boy with a hint of murderous intent.
"Mr. Haneda, I have already done what you asked me to do."
Zabuza put down the body of the black market leader.
At the same time, tear open a sealed scroll.
Boxes of briefcases containing banknotes fell to the ground.
Haneda picked up the briefcase containing 10 million in cash that he had previously given to the black market and sealed it in a scroll.
Haneda explained:
"Put the rest away yourself."
"I will go to Longdi Cave to practice next, and you will also have a new mission."
"Ryuchi Cave?" As an elite of Kirigakure, Zabuza naturally knew what Ryuchi Cave was.
Those are the three holy places!
The current inheritors in the ninja world are all well-known and powerful ones!
Zabuza was surprised for a moment and asked:
"What mission requires so much money?"
Haneda said: "One is to go to the Bear Country and bring out the star hidden in the Star Ninja Village and hand it over to me."
"The second is to find Loulan, a mysterious country hidden in the Kingdom of Wind, and inquire about the dragon veins for me."
"Don't be stingy with the money. Hire ninjas when necessary."
"The Kirigakure ninjas will not trouble you during this time."
Zabuza understood that it would cost a lot of money to deal with a small ninja village and search for a mysterious country.
But the Mist Ninja would not cause trouble for him in the short term, which Zabuza didn't understand.
You know, he was a traitor ninja from Kirigakure and was hunted down by the Anbu at all costs!
Although he was puzzled, Zabuza still accepted the mission and left.
He has to fight for himself and for Mr. Haneda's ideal of reforming the world!
