"oh........"

Upon hearing this abrupt halt, the giant beast behind the screen suddenly let out a soft, almost human-like groan, then broke free from its languid, prostrate state and stood up from the ground.

That imposing, massive figure was instantly etched into the little tabby cat's eyes.

"I gave you double the reward, how about next time? Next time what?"

"Please continue what you have to say!"

'Boom! '

The owner of the cat castle suddenly appeared in front of the little tabby cat, and the shockwave from his fall completely blew the little tabby cat, who was looking annoyed.

"You little glutton, are you only talking like that because you've been bribed?"

The cat extended its sharp claws again and gently touched the whimpering tabby cat.

"Meow meow meow!"

However, what he got in return was a rebuttal from the little guy.

"What? You want to run away from home to complain to Huang?"

"I!"

The cat suddenly raised its sharp claws, wanting to teach the cat a lesson, but the tabby cat seized the opportunity, leaped down the nearby stairs with its hind legs, and disappeared in a flash.

"Meow!"

"This little brat."

The owner of the cat castle immediately cursed under his breath in annoyance.

After a brief pause, it slowly walked to the window of the castle tower and looked towards the human settlement not far from the cat castle.

It has been almost two years since that boy arrived, and more than half of the five-year agreement has already passed.

During this period, the guy didn't make any unreasonable demands, and each of the kittens used to deliver information brought back positive feedback.

The human girl named Izumi also kept her promise and never bothered him once.

The newly built outpost in sight was still only at its original, simple scale, with a number of permanent residents that could be counted on one hand, and it did not disturb the lives of the ninja cats.

In fact, the promised rent filled the warehouse of Ninja Cat Castle!

This friendly and generous human neighbor earned the respect of all the ninja cats under his command.

Moreover, even the collateral ninja cats from the neighboring underground castle came to join them because of these benefits.

From the perspective of being a partner only, Huang is undoubtedly very qualified.

However, the enemies that guy will face in the future will certainly not be limited to Konoha Village alone.

He doesn't yet have a clear enough understanding of the cruelty of this world.

Her methods were ruthless yet gentle.

The cat's expression turned melancholy.

But it is precisely because of this gentleness that I am considering renewing my contract.

Otherwise, it would have already been counting down the days until the contract ended.

Well.

Three more years.

Lets see.

........

........

A babbling stream meanders through the dense forest, nourishing the creatures of the area while also providing travelers with convenient supplies.

Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are just travelers.

"who!"

"come out!!"

A deep, questioning voice rang out. Zabuza Momochi, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, gripped the guillotine beside him, his fierce face revealing an unfriendly expression.

Of course, amidst this clear hostility, there was also a hint of vigilance.

They should have been very careful to hide their whereabouts, so how could they have been discovered by others?

'Rusting sound.'

As a soft rustling sound of grass stalks rang out, a blood-soaked boy carrying a horizontal sword appeared in his field of vision.

The visitor made no attempt to conceal his intentions.

"Zabuza Momochi, the rogue ninja from Kirigakure?"

Huang's voice rose slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips as if he had found his prey.

The Hyuga Byakugan is really useful.

"Those scarlet eyes... from the Uchiha clan?"

"You are, Uchiha Ara?"

Zabuza Momochi remained seated, a hint of speculation in his cold, fierce eyes.

He had never actually met Uchiha Ara, nor had he ever paid any attention to this boy who was pursued and sought after by various forces.

However, at present, it seems that the only Uchiha clan member remaining in this land of conflict is this one at the center of the vortex.

"Ah."

Huang stepped through the puddles and continued walking towards the two people in sight.

"Don't come any closer!"

However, when he was less than four or five steps away from his prey, Shiro, who had been on guard since he appeared, quietly stood in front of Momochi Zabuza and coldly rebuked him.

Moreover, a faint, cold glint appeared between his fingers.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be several scattered, sharp branches of senbon!

A relatively rare ninja tool.

Upon hearing this, Huang pondered for a moment, but ultimately stood still as instructed.

After all, his primary purpose in coming here was not to start a war.

"I don't recall ever having any contact with you or the Uchiha clan."

"What brings you here?"

Zabuza Momochi remained seated cross-legged on the ground, but his voice had noticeably changed from before.

It carried an added sense of solemnity.

Even if what comes into view is a young boy of similar age to Bai.

However, the bloody aura emanating from him far surpassed that of any other child his age, and was no weaker than that of any member of the Hidden Mist Anbu with blood on their hands.

This feeling is just like when I was taking my graduation exam.

But the ninjas who are here now are far superior to those newly graduated genin!

This is one of the reasons why Zabuza Momochi was able to remain calm even when the other party strolled right in front of him.

Otherwise, his decapitation sword would have been swung at the boy the moment he appeared.

"You will become my subordinates."

The words are not surprising and die endlessly.

The boy made no attempt to hide anything and went straight to the point. With just that one sentence, the entire scene became tense and eerie.

Although Zabuza Momochi has not made any unusual moves, Haku, who is positioned in front of him, is already unable to suppress his anger!

The dropping temperature in the surrounding area is the best proof of this.

However, Huang did not stop there or fall silent:

“My forces happen to lack a commander who is skilled in assassination, and I believe you are capable of fulfilling that role.”

This is the truth.

Although the Hidden Star Village and the Hidden Rain Village also have ANBU (Anbu), they are basically organizations established by copying the organizational structure of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

Compared to Zabuza Momochi, who had actually carried out hundreds of assassination missions, this was nothing.

Moreover, those evil ninjas and unforgiving individuals who were barely incorporated into the organization also needed a more ruthless and intimidating entity to suppress and train them, making those guys their best hidden tools.

Of course, the most important point is that in the ninja world, there are very few people who can surpass their opponents in assassination techniques.

Even Kakashi Hatake has been at a disadvantage when faced with a silent killing technique.

In exchange, I will pay you a wage.

"A lot of hiring fees."

Huang continued.

This is his consistent trading style, and he won't easily break it.

At this moment, Zabuza Momochi was also very short of money.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up working as a henchman for Nacardo.

For Huang, things that can be solved with money are the simplest matters right now.

"I refuse, please leave."

Zabuza Momochi didn't hesitate for a moment; his voice was as cold as a thousand-year-old glacier.

Although he needed money and was willing to condescend to take on tasks from all sorts of low-level people, those employers were all insignificant nobodys.

If I want to leave, or do whatever I want, those guys have no say in it, nor do they have the power to do so!

but.

He could foresee that once he became acquainted with this strange little guy, his future actions would be greatly restricted.
