Chapter 44 Zabuza, Go Become the Mizukage

Tazuna tells the story of Gato, a wealthy and powerful merchant who dominates the region, and the impoverished Land of Waves.

Dazner also emphasized that the bridge they are building is the only hope for the entire country.

Finally, he used moral blackmail to force the others to continue protecting him.

Naruto would say, why resort to moral blackmail?
Upon hearing that he could spend three weeks outside with Naruto, Sasuke's eyes lit up. It was as if he was about to skip the Mangekyou Sharingan and evolve into the "Flash Eyes."

Moreover, what the Land of Waves lacks is not bridges, nor ninjas, but the Dragon-Slaying Manual.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance!

If you don't fight back, even if the bridge is repaired, it will eventually be blown up by the bully Kado.

Naruto had nothing to say about these people's naive ideas.

What do you think? Should we continue?

Kakashi turned around and asked Naruto and the other two for their opinions.

"Of course, we'll continue with Kakashi-sensei!" Sasuke immediately answered; he still needed Naruto's power bank.

Three weeks was more effective than six months of his usual training.

Sasuke, fearing Naruto's rejection, glanced at Naruto and provocatively said, "Naruto, you're not scared, are you?"

"continue."

Ignoring the kid's provocation, Naruto took an apple out of his backpack and used the premium kunai from the game to peel and eat it.

Fruit is great, it's rich in Vitamin C, so we should eat more of it.

"I also want to continue with Kakashi-sensei."

Sakura performed exceptionally well today. She felt she had become stronger very quickly. The reason for this was that she wanted to spend more time with Naruto. Thinking of this, she stole a glance at Naruto.

Click~
Noticing Sakura's gaze, Naruto, who was eating an apple, suddenly felt utterly hopeless, realizing he had become nothing more than a tool!

"I really want to go back to Konoha!"

Wait, that’s not right!

Naruto felt that he was too kind. He had such a treasure, and he didn't abuse his power within the team. Instead, he had no room to resist.

Alright, I'll have Sasuke wash his smelly socks tonight.

The group continued on their way.

shuh~
With nothing else to do, Naruto swung his kunai and cleaved a fly in two.

After he finished chopping, he remembered that he still needed to eat an apple with this kunai.

Oh~
Naruto casually wiped the kunai off Sasuke's body, then glanced back at Kakashi, who was bringing up the rear.

Another question suddenly popped into Naruto's head.

How exactly did Kakashi obtain the Sharingan?

Could it be the night of annihilation?
No, Kakashi doesn't seem like such a bad person.

Could it be that Kakashi Hatake's real name is actually Kakashi Uchiha?

Judging from Kakashi's expression, he didn't seem to have any intention of explaining, so Naruto could only keep his questions to himself.

"Here we are."

Tazna's house is just ahead.

The architectural style of the Land of Waves is indeed different from that of the Land of Fire; at least this building is quite unique.

Dazner's family has one daughter and one grandson.

The daughter is Cao Da Guanren's type, but the grandson is quite annoying, saying that they will all die.

This little brat!

In the end, Naruto dismissed him with a bag of potato chips and a cola.

Then, Naruto discovered something strange: the chakra marked as belonging to Zabuza Momochi was starting to become active.

"Is Zabuza still alive?"

Wasn't he taken away by the pursuing ninjas?
Suddenly, Naruto realized a possibility: the people chasing after him might be in cahoots with Zabuza.

Good guy.

This move amazed Naruto.

As expected of a ninja who has been in the ninja world for many years, his tactics are truly profound.

However, even the best strategies are no match for absolute strength.

Previously, Naruto had implanted the Flying Thunder God Technique into Zabuza's body to prevent him from escaping. With the Flying Thunder God tattoo, how could he possibly run away?
However, this also piqued Naruto's interest in Zabuza.

"Kakashi-sensei, could you tell us about Zabuza?"

Naruto wanted to learn about Zabuza and the Land of Water from Kakashi.

The ninja world is too vast, and there are too few clones.

To this day, the map of the Land of Water remains completely black.

He wanted to know more!

“Zabuza.” Kakashi recounted the information he already knew.

What are his achievements? Killing all the students in his graduating class during the graduation exam, the Village of Blood Mist, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, assassinating the Fourth Mizukage, and becoming a rogue ninja.

The three of them were stunned by this series of events, and Naruto was completely dumbfounded.

He thought that Konoha's ability to train a 12-year-old boy into a qualified assassin was already abnormal enough.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it.

There's something even more outrageous! Whose subordinate is this?
The Fourth Mizukage, right?
I have a feeling that this person really doesn't want Kirigakure to have a good life.

As a Shadow, you can't be a spy from another village, can you?

Zabuza is truly ruthless; he actually wiped out everyone in his class.

can.

On the other hand, why do we sometimes think that Zabuza was actually a good person?

He killed his classmates, forcing the village to shut down the Blood Mist Village, and later he even assassinated the Fourth Hokage for it.

It all seems to be for the good of Kirigakure.

Although his lack of strength led him to become a rogue ninja, his motivation is commendable.

"Something's fishy about what happened today. I feel like I missed something." Kakashi-sensei, who was telling the story, realized something was off.

Naruto grinned as he listened.

He wanted to say: Kakashi-sensei, your intuition was right, Zabuza is alive and well.

However, it's estimated that Zabuza won't have a chance to cause trouble.

Because Naruto was planning to choose him as one of the executors of the "Cuckoo's Nest Plan".

Although he was a rogue ninja, once his crimes were cleared, he would be the perfect contender for the Mizukage title.

Ok.

It's him.

There is only one question left.

"Teacher, does Kirigakure currently have a Mizukage?"

Kakashi, interrupted from his thoughts, answered Naruto's question: "Not yet. The position of Mizukage has been vacant since the Fourth Mizukage was assassinated."

Still empty?

Naruto nodded. "That's great! The plan is perfect!"
By this time, Kakashi had almost finished recalling the whole incident. He reminded everyone that Zabuza was not dead, and then he emphasized.

"It's you guys who need to train harder! The three of you were able to defeat Zabuza, so next time you can defeat Zabuza and that boy."

"Especially you, Naruto," Kakashi specifically praised Naruto, "You're the strongest, keep up the good work!"

"Mm." Naruto nodded with a smile.

Looking at Naruto's smile, Kakashi felt a complex mix of emotions.

"Naruto might already be stronger than me, he just lacks a bit of combat experience."

Kakashi prepared to take the three of them to the forest for training.

"Kakashi-sensei, I need to use the restroom." Naruto made an excuse to leave midway.

Arriving at a secluded spot, Naruto put on a cloak, a mask, and switched to his Sharingan.

After getting dressed, sense the location of the Flying Thunder God.

swoosh~
When they reappeared, they saw Zabuza lying motionless on the bed, with a beautiful ninja next to him.

"Zabuza, the organization has decided to make you the Mizukage!"
