He didn't want to become a reason for Zabuza to compromise.

However, the thousand-stick skewer stopped abruptly just inches from his neck.

To be precise, it pierced into a thick arm, and blood began to flow, but the man seemed oblivious and didn't seem to care at all.

"I will never, ever kill Sang again!"

Sensing the approaching presence, Bai's voice suddenly became panicked.

"That's enough, Bai."

Zabuza Momochi's voice was filled with an irresistible command, but it also seemed to contain a rare touch of gentleness.

"I promise you."

Then, he looked at the blood-soaked youth in his field of vision and responded, word by word.

Although I was very unwilling and reluctant.

But if it's this guy, he might actually be able to do it.

Out of the corner of his eye, he also caught a glimpse of the little guy blocking his way.

'Really, that's enough.'

Chapter 195 Only an idiot would go head-to-head with a tailed beast.

Feeling the effects of the contract, Zabuza Momochi's expression became somewhat bewildered, but he ultimately didn't say anything more.

As for Bai on the other side, he carefully bandaged the former's wound; for him, this turn of events was the best possible outcome.

after all,

He really didn't care where he went or which faction he served.

As long as I can stay by Zabuza's side, that's enough.

"What do you want us to do?"

After clearing his mind of all distractions, Zabuza Momochi spoke up.

He was originally a powerful ninja with unconventional behavior.

He can eliminate all his competitors to prove his strength; he can assassinate the 'Shadow' of a village to stop the tragedy of the Land of Water from spreading; and he can also stoop to the level of a rogue merchant guild to raise money.

"Furthermore, we can't act too conspicuously, as there are still pursuing ninjas from Kirigakure chasing us."

he went on to add.

Moreover, this statement was genuinely made with the young man in front of him in mind, because the conditions promised by the other party were enough to make him sacrifice his life.

"Two tasks."

"First, eliminate Kado and all his cronies."

“I will send someone to take over his shipping business later.”

Huang's voice remained completely unmoved.

In his eyes, eliminating the leader of a local power was as trivial as flipping his hand.

As for the unspoken rule in the ninja world: ninjas are not allowed to attack ordinary people at will.

Ok,

I've heard of it.

But what does it have to do with him?

Moreover, are bullies who oppress others and wantonly take away other people's lives ordinary people? No, are they even human?

"Yes."

Zabuza Momochi answered very decisively.

He was no saint either, especially since he had already entered into a contract to pledge allegiance to the former.

However, Kado?

I never expected that the young man in front of me, despite his young age, would know so much.

Who is Kado?

President of Kado Shipping Company

His assets are enough to rival those of a nation!

Of course, it refers to those small, unknown countries whose demise or change of ownership would go unnoticed.

Why is he able to achieve such great success?

Because it shrewdly places itself among several impoverished small countries, never venturing into the realm of the five major powers, content to be a local tyrant.

They would take a portion of the profits they extracted from the common people to bribe the daimyo and nobles of small countries, and then spend some money to hire some wandering samurai and thugs to guard their homes.

At this point, no one could speak, and no one dared to speak.

Issuing missions to the five great ninja villages?

If even the head of a country abandons his duties, how can the oppressed ordinary people have a voice, or how can they afford to issue missions?

“Although I don’t quite understand your intentions, if you simply want to help the residents of the Land of Waves by eliminating parasites like Gato, then killing alone will never solve the problem.”

"Not to mention that the daimyo of that country is just a foolish puppet, even if the current local tyrant is dealt with, it won't be long before a second or third 'Kado' will emerge."

"They are like weeds, they can never be burned out."

"Unless a force like the Five Great Nations intervenes, or a legitimate ninja village moves in, this will remain the eternal status quo for small countries."

Zabuza Momochi was unusually talkative.

Aside from the fear that the young man before them was too inexperienced to see the true nature of these evils.

Furthermore, because the things the other party asked him to do did not go against his own conscience, he had long wanted to get rid of that arrogant bastard!

"Ah."

"Therefore, after dealing with Gato, we will have Haku take over Gato and everything in the Land of Waves, and establish his own base."

Huang listened quietly until the other person finished speaking before slowly replying.

"As for the name of that country."

"If they are obedient, then let them be; if they are in the way, then they have no reason to exist."

His voice remained cold, devoid of any emotion.

The reason they didn't use the same methods they used against Gato on the Daimyo was that they didn't want to cause too much of a commotion.

After all, although the Land of Waves is a lawless area teeming with bandits and thugs, it is also an important hub between the three great nations of Lightning, Water, and Fire.

The infighting and mutual suppression among local bullies are still manageable and can be left to chance for all three parties involved.

However, once it involves a change in national regime, it will inevitably attract the attention of the outside world.

Huang didn't want to get involved in that kind of trouble.

But it's not that I'm afraid!

"learn."

After hearing the answer, Zabuza Momochi's eyes showed a hint of admiration.

He thought the other party was just a 'madman' who acted on his own whims and strength, but he never expected that in addition to the iron-fisted methods he should have, the other party also had the foresight and control over the subsequent development of events.

"And those stragglers hired by Kado, killing them all would be somewhat inappropriate, but if we let them go, then..."

Zabuza was ultimately a ninja bound by tradition.

There would be no problem with him taking care of the head of the Cado Group and the people in charge of the oppression; in fact, he would be happy to take on the job.

However, killing all the non-ninja wandering samurai and thugs would be somewhat beyond his moral compass.

Of course, if the boy in front of me forces me to do this based on the contract...

Although they would comply, they were somewhat reluctant, which sowed the seeds of resentment.

You should know that Zabuza Momochi is not afraid of death.

But he wanted to see the Land of Water get back on track before he died.

"The Land of Waves must be building a bridge across the sea."

However, the responses he received were not what he had expected.

"Eh?"

Zabuza was a little stunned, but Haku answered on his behalf.

"Yes, Lord Ara."

"That bridge across the sea was started spontaneously by the residents of the Wave Country in their desire to improve their impoverished lives, but judging from the current situation, this project is unlikely to be realized."

"Besides the inaction of the local daimyo, there was also the reason that Kado was preventing it, because he made huge profits by controlling maritime transport."

“Building the bridge directly touched his interests.”

Bai not only answered the question, but also explained the cause and effect, as well as the current situation.

"So, after dealing with Kado, we recruited all those guys and then went to build the bridge together."

"With such a bond, I believe the residents of the Land of Waves will find it easier to accept you."

"Also remember, don't keep useless people around; it's necessary to make an example of them."

Huang arranged things in an orderly manner.

Such composure and gradual approach only intensified the shock in Zabuza Momochi's eyes.

This little guy, the same age as Bai, had actually considered everything!

It's as if they started plotting to swallow up the entire Land of Waves a long time ago.

What kind of experiences shaped him into this person?

Was it because of the upheaval involving the Uchiha clan?
