Chapter 38: Kado Slaps Zabuza

"Oh?"

Kado looked at the little brat who was slightly bigger than him and dared to criticize him, and a cold smile crept onto his lips.

"What I hate most is someone interrupting me before I've finished speaking..."

However, before Kado could finish speaking, a ninja behind him eagerly stepped forward.

"Lord Kado! Let me teach this arrogant brat a lesson!"

Interrupted, Gato's face instantly darkened. He leaped in front of the ninja and delivered a powerful punch to his head.

"Don't you know? I hate it when people interrupt me before I've finished speaking..."

Before Kado could finish speaking, Sakura, looking worried, quickly pulled Naruto back and loudly urged, "Naruto! Have you forgotten that your chakra has been sealed? Come back!"

Kado's face turned completely black.

"You are unforgivable!"

His gaze swept over the group, and suddenly he saw Zabuza, who looked utterly dejected. A look of surprise crossed his face, followed by a mocking sneer.

They left so arrogantly, but now these guys have taken them down, even their knives have been confiscated.

It's a shame I was actually intimidated by the name of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!

"What a piece of trash! You even managed to be captured alive. No wonder the Land of Water is getting worse every year. Even a traitor like you could escape. I can't even imagine how wretched Kirigakure must be now!"

Zabuza wasn't afraid of being insulted, but when he heard that Kirigakure had also been dragged into the insults, his eyes immediately turned bloodshot.

"You motherfucker"

Zabuza glared intently at Gato, the terrifying killing intent in his eyes almost tangible.

Kado was startled, but when his trusted aide told him that the other party showed no chakra fluctuations, Kado calmed down, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his lips.

"Hmph, so he's just a paper tiger. What's with the act?" Gato stepped forward again, looking at Zabuza provocatively.

Seeing Zabuza still so arrogant despite being captured alive, Gato wiped the cold sweat from his brow and then gave an order to one of his underlings who had no chakra:

"I see Lord Zabuza is still quite resentful, isn't he? Go and gouge his eyes out. I'm afraid his eyes will get dry from staring at him like that all the time. And cut off his tongue too, so he won't keep spouting nonsense."

Kado walked up to Zabuza as if he didn't see him, and then slapped Zabuza hard across the face.

"Damn it!"

Naruto clenched his fists; the opponent's arrogant attitude was truly despicable.

Kado glanced at Naruto, then looked at their Konoha headbands and spoke disdainfully:

"This is a matter for our Land of Waves. As far as I know, you only accepted an escort mission. Now that Tazuna has arrived, you can get lost!"

"Otherwise, hehe."

As he spoke, Kado walked up to Sakura and grinned lewdly.

"I will never issue missions to your Konoha again. In addition, I will hire ninjas from other ninja villages to issue missions to assassinate you!"

This phrase usually works almost every time, especially with ninjas bound to their villages.

Zabuza was already trembling with rage when he suddenly felt the chakra restraints on his body being released, and that familiar power returned!

Although it was far less than before, consisting only of what was left over from the battle, it was still more than enough to slaughter this bunch of worthless scoundrels.

Zabuza looked puzzled as he glanced at Daido and Kakashi.

Kakashi withdrew his hand from his restraints and then said calmly, "Article 112 of the Imperial Law states that when a victim is physically attacked, the victim has the right to defend themselves against the perpetrator."

"Although you are currently a prisoner of our empire, you are still protected by imperial law."

After Kakashi finished speaking, he crossed his arms and adopted a spectator's stance.

Zabuza had long since resigned himself to his fate, but seeing that the other party had actually released the seal on his chakra, it would be a lie to say he wasn't moved.

"Okay, thank you!"

He suddenly felt curious about the empire the other person had mentioned, but his first priority was...

"Shh!"

A dark shadow flashed by, and the kunai, gleaming with a sharp, cold light, swung towards Kado with lightning speed.

As ninjas, kunai are one of their essential weapons, and Zabuza is no exception.

Suddenly, he had a kunai in his hand and slashed at Kado without hesitation.

The sound of a kunai slicing through the air came from behind.

Kado slapped Zabuza's arm, sending it arcing through the air before landing with a dull thud.

Only then did bright red blood gush out like a fountain, staining the ground red.

Kado's screams echoed in the air, sending chills down everyone's spines.

This single strike was enough to demonstrate Zabuza's superb swordsmanship.

Unfortunately, he had just faced Kakashi, a genius ninja from the Empire—the sole heir of the Hatake clan and the foremost inheritor of swordsmanship.

"Aaaaah! Konoha ninjas! I'll remember you!"

Gato dared not threaten Zabuza again. Zabuza was a rogue ninja, orphaned and childless; he had no weaknesses.

But the ninjas of Konoha are different!

Seeing Zabuza about to attack again, Gato roared in terror, "Save me! Konoha ninja! Save me, and I'll forgive you for losing an arm!"

Unfortunately, the only response he received was the sound of his other arm falling to the ground.

"No!"

Kado's face was filled with despair.

"I've removed your hands, hands stained with sin."

"Next, let's settle our personal grudges!"

Zabuza's voice was like an evil spirit in the night, his hoarse voice sending chills down Gato's spine.

"What are you all standing there for? Come and kill him!"

Kado called for reinforcements from his underlings.

Because Zabuza's actions happened in the blink of an eye, no one had time to react.

In the brief moment of surprise, a Jonin hired by Gato as a trusted confidant used genjutsu to control Zabuza, while another ninja used earth-style technique to appear beneath Zabuza and carry Gato away.

By the time Zabuza broke free of the genjutsu, Gato was already behind the group of henchmen. The fear in Gato's eyes had vanished, replaced by rage.

"Brothers! Kill him!"

"Kill those Konoha ninjas too! I'll give you extra money! Whoever kills Zabuza, I, Gato, will give you half of my assets!"

Upon hearing this, many thugs who were planning to take advantage of the situation were immediately intrigued.

A handsome reward will surely attract reckless fools!

Suddenly, they forgot their status as genin, forgot that they were just thugs, and started slashing at Zabuza and the Konoha ninja with their swords drawn.

"Sasuke, my good student, now is the time for you to hone your skills, Ikuso! Sasuke, go!"

Daido excitedly directed Sasuke.

Kakashi, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, immediately exhaled.

He quickly stood in front of Sasuke and Daido.

"Wait! We can't let Sasuke go!"

Chapter 39 The Imperial Telephone Connection is On...

Sasuke was called back.

He still has some respect for Kakashi.

Dai Tu looked puzzled.

"Why? Greenhouse flowers that haven't been baptized by slaughter can't grow into towering trees!"

Kakashi hesitated for a moment, but quickly spoke:

"Sasuke is from Konoha, and everyone probably thinks you two are also from Konoha. If we make a move, the news that Konoha didn't accept the mission and secretly slaughtered the merchants will spread like wildfire very quickly."

"At that time, the relationship between the Land of Fire and these merchants will definitely deteriorate to some extent, and the Daimyo will certainly impose certain sanctions on Konoha's military spending."

"If we don't act now, there will be no worries about the future."

Daido and Kakashi knew what he was thinking and were speechless.

No wonder this guy dared to slap Zabuza in the face when he was just an ordinary person. So you ninjas have no dignity at all?

He just finished cursing me and then told me he had a mission to have a few people stop Zabuza.

Is this even human language?

So, after years of hard training to finally become a ninja, your status is lower than a daimyo, lower than a nobleman, and even lower than a merchant.

Then what's the point of fighting to the death?

For the so-called consciousness of fire?

Sasuke listened to Kakashi's words, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He understood Kakashi's concerns, but he desperately needed to improve his strength, and now was a perfect opportunity.

"How to do?"

Sasuke looked to Daido for help.

"What are you standing there for? Go!"

Daido pointed at the ninjas, half of whom Zabuza had already slaughtered, and looked on with disappointment.

Sasuke glanced at Kakashi, then without turning around, drew his kunai from his waist.
