Chapter 45 Zabuza, the Hidden Hero of the Mist (Please continue reading)
"Zabuza, the organization has decided to make you the Mizukage!"

A sound suddenly came from the other side, and Zabuza turned his head to look, his pupils shrinking instantly.

These are a pair of scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan eyes.

Currently, only one person in the world possesses these eyes, and that is the famous Uchiha genius.

"You are...Uchiha Itachi?"

"Ah,"

Naruto scoffed, "How could I possibly be that kind of traitor?"

"Then who are you?"

Zabuza's rich experience in combat instantly snapped him out of his shock. He confronted Naruto head-on to buy time, while secretly trying to awaken Haku.

Naruto had already noticed his subtle actions.

"it's useless."

Naruto's gaze sharpened, and he chuckled amusedly, "Guess whether you're the one under a genjutsu, or him, or... you're both under a genjutsu at the same time?"

In an instant, Zabuza broke out in a cold sweat.

He tried to disrupt the flow of chakra, but to no avail.

"Such powerful genjutsu, is this the Sharingan?"

Zabuza knew that he was waking up from a state of apparent death, and his body was completely immobile, not to mention that he was deeply under the influence of a genjutsu.

He was completely powerless to resist.

Even with Bai added, the two of them remain the same.

But the person in front of him did not kill him.

this.
Although he didn't know how he had provoked the other party, Zabuza seemed to realize that he was still somewhat useful to them.

"What do you mean?"

Naruto waved his hand, and a wooden chair instantly appeared in the wooden building, where he sat down comfortably.

"Don't be nervous, let's have a chat."

Seeing this, Zabuza chose to relax.

As for resistance, even with Bai and the other two joining the fight, it would only take the other side a single thought to kill them.

Since we can't resist, we might as well have a proper conversation.

Perhaps, there is still a glimmer of hope.

"You've calmed down? That's good, it helps you relax and makes it easier to recall the information."

Naruto thought the other person seemed to be someone special, not afraid of death, or perhaps quite clever.

"Let's talk about your time in Kirigakure."

"Am I in Kirigakure?"

Zabuza was baffled. This stranger was talking to him about himself? Then he heard an unbelievable sentence.

"Zabuza, you're such a good person."

This sudden praise left Zabuza somewhat puzzled.

Seeing his puzzled expression, Naruto explained, "Oh? It seems you don't understand."

“Zabuza, you already recognized the drawbacks of the Blood Mist Village during your time at the Ninja Academy.”

“You know that every student at the Ninja Academy is the future of the ninja village, and the future Mizukage will be born from these children. Therefore, every child has the potential to become the future Mizukage.”

"And this evil policy of the Blood Mist Village is strangling the future of Kirigakure, and strangling the future Mizukage."

"But as a ninja academy student, you are young and have little influence. You can only watch helplessly as all this happens. So, you have no choice but to kill the other ninja academy students in your year with tears in your eyes, so that the village's higher-ups will realize this through this pain."

"From this day forward, the policies of the Blood Mist Village will change because of you."

"You chose to sacrifice the personal interests of your class of students to safeguard the greater good of a brighter future for Wuyin."

"Without a doubt, you are great!"

Naruto's statement made Zabuza question his existence. Was that what he was thinking at the time?
Wasn't he just trying to realize his own ambitions back then?
"Is that so?" He lowered his head in thought.

"Think about it, think about it again carefully," Naruto said, increasing the dosage.

Zabuza frowned in thought. Perhaps that's part of the reason?

Zabuza gradually began to accept Naruto's version of events, and under the influence of Naruto's genjutsu, he became increasingly entangled.

Naruto continued, "You had another good friend during your time at the Ninja Academy, named Sakuragi Hanamichi. He was your best friend."

"He understands you, he knows you, and he is your only friend. He knows your aspirations, so he chose to willingly give his life for the village."

"During the graduation exam, he was the last one to collapse into your arms."

"His dream is the same as yours: to become the Mizukage and change the policies of the Blood Mist Village. But he has chosen to entrust this dream to you! He trusts that you can achieve it!"

With his gaze fixed on Zabuza, Naruto prompted, "Do you remember now?"

"You are right, it is indeed such a thing."

At this moment, as the tough guy Zabuza recalled these events, his eyes were already blurred with tears.

"I really don't know where you got this information, that you even know that my closest friend died in my arms."

"That's not all," Naruto interrupted his self-narration.

Zabuza completely relaxed, deeply trapped in the genjutsu, his emotions utterly shattered by Naruto: "What else do you know?"

"You deeply love the Land of Water, you deeply love Kirigakure, and you strive for the village. You join the Anbu and become the strongest of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, wanting to become the village's sharpest weapon."

Naruto dropped another bombshell: "But when you look back, you discover that the highest-ranking Kage in your village is being secretly controlled by someone else."

Zabuza is shocked.

His eyes widened in disbelief, and Naruto clearly sensed that his mental world was violently shaking.

"How was it controlled? The Fourth Hokage was a perfect Jinchuriki!" Zabuza's deep, choked voice was filled with confusion.

Naruto spoke softly, "Sharingan, Sharingan like mine."

Zabuza turned his head and saw a pair of peculiar eyes shaped like four-cornered shuriken.

“This is…” Zabuza was quite frightened, as he recalled a certain rumor he had heard before.

“That’s right, someone used the Mangekyou Sharingan to control the Fourth Mizukage,” Naruto said softly.

Regardless of whether it was controlled before, it will be the same in the versions that circulate in the future.

Nobody's admitting it?

The wandering ninja Uchiha Rokutsubo has declared that he will take responsibility for this matter.

If all else fails, we can create another Uchiha Kurenai.

Sensing Zabuza's resistance, Naruto reassured him, "Don't be nervous, that person isn't me."

Although he could also directly control Zabuza and create clones like before.

but,

That kind of control has no soul; it only produces mindless, mechanically executing orders.

That's why Naruto tried using genjutsu for the first time to get the controlled person to cooperate completely.

So far, the results seem good.

Naruto continued, "After discovering that the Fourth Mizukage was controlled by genjutsu, you understood why there was a policy like the Bloody Mist Village."

"After a fierce internal struggle, you made up your mind and, for the future of Kirigakure, you tearfully chose to assassinate the Fourth Hokage."

"Unfortunately, his strength was insufficient, and in the end he could only become a rogue ninja."

"Sigh~" Zabuza sighed deeply, seemingly lamenting his own life.

"Even while you're wandering the ninja world, you're constantly accumulating funds and power, looking for an opportunity to fight your way back. Even if you can't go back, you should still save money to contribute to the village."

"This is you, Zabuza! You are the hero of Kirigakure!"

Zabuza, the tough guy, was already in tears.

This person understands him!
"Zabuza, you haven't forgotten your dream of becoming the Mizukage, have you?"
