"Quickly...quickly go and inform Deputy Captain Bai."
Deputy Captain Bai?
Upon hearing this, Shinji raised an eyebrow. If it really was the same person, then things were about to get interesting.
So he stopped rushing to find Mira Penn and instead strolled leisurely around the manor.
Without making him wait long, dozens of senbon needles greeted him directly.
Shinji untied the guillotine from his back and swung it a few times, deflecting all the senbon needles.
Bai might not have recognized him immediately, but he definitely wouldn't have failed to recognize the knife!
As expected, Shiro stopped attacking and exclaimed in surprise, "Lord Shinji?"
"It really is you, Bai. Or rather, Vice Captain Bai?"
Haku blushed slightly after removing his mask and quickly explained, "They're just making things up. Lord Zabuza and I are currently employed by Mr. Mira Peng to protect his safety, and occasionally we also lead people out to eliminate some monsters."
The original assassination target has become the current employer?
There seem to be quite a few stories behind this.
"Please tell me exactly what happened?"
It turned out that a few days after Shinji and the others left, Mira Penn sent people to search for Haku and Zabuza's whereabouts.
As the uncrowned king of a country, finding a few unfamiliar faces is all too easy.
Mira Penn originally intended to eliminate the threat completely to prevent future problems.
But when Shiro took out the cult necklace that Shinji had left her before he left, Mira Penn immediately changed her mind.
Not only did they bring in the best doctors to treat Zabuza, but they also helped them evade a pursuit by the Hidden Mist Anbu.
Only after Zabuza recovered from his injuries did he ask the two of them to protect him.
Mira Poon has to admit she's incredibly bold to keep two people who almost killed him by her side.
Zabuza initially disagreed and wanted to leave the Land of Waves to retrieve his guillotine.
But after being persuaded by Bai, she finally agreed to stay, and has stayed ever since.
"It seems you're living quite well here."
"I must thank Lord Shinji for his kindness and Mr. Mira Peng for his magnanimity," Bai said earnestly.
Shinji smiled noncommittally, "Where is Zabuza?"
"I heard that a passenger ship had an accident. Some people on board went mad and started biting others. It's suspected that they were affected by a monster. Lord Zabuza has gone to deal with it."
"..."
Shinji was at a loss for words. He should have stayed on that ship and waited.
"You're here to see Mr. Mira Peng, right? I'll take you there."
"What would you do if I told you I came specifically to find Zabuza?"
Bai pursed his lips and asked, "May I know why you've come to see Lord Zabuza?"
"As for my purpose, it's not a big deal to tell you. I wiped out the original evil god cult and am now preparing to rebuild it, so I need some manpower."
Bai was immediately conflicted, even somewhat distressed, "It seems we can't refuse."
Shinji nodded matter-of-factly. "What you did yesterday, you are reaping today. You should have realized this when I let you go back then."
Bai took a deep breath. "I know I will persuade Lord Zabuza when he returns. Please give me some time."
Shinji was satisfied with Haku's attitude, so he said a few more words: "There's no need to look so gloomy. After Zabuza joins, you can stay here for the time being. I will come to find you again when I need you."
That's definitely a lot of comfort.
After all, the peaceful life we have now is hard-won, and we should cherish every day we can have it.
(PS: Many people have said that updating at midnight is too unlucky, so I'm considering moving the update time to daytime, such as in the morning or afternoon.)
[Chapter 116. The Battle Was Over Before It Even Began (Fifth Update, Please Subscribe!)]
Before Zabuza returned, Shinji went to see Mira Penn.
Mira Penn was quite surprised by his and Hidan's arrival!
After all, he thought the evil god cult was completely finished.
After some friendly negotiations, Mira Pen agreed to help them rebuild the cult and even offered to build them a secret base in the Land of Waves.
What Shinji needs to offer is the deterrent power of the evil cult, and the ability to step in or send someone to resolve problems that Mira Penn cannot solve on her own when necessary.
For example, there are some clueless individuals like Kado from before, and then there are the increasingly numerous monsters, the cursed spirits...
At the end, the two had a pleasant conversation and were both very satisfied.
Mira Penn found a new powerful backer for her family, while Shinji found a financial backer for the new evil cult.
Then Buza returned.
Even Bai seemed unable to dissuade this stubborn mule.
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and this time I will never lose again."
The technique of concealing oneself in mist!
After saying just that one sentence, Zabuza immediately took action, proving with his actions what it means to be ruthless and taciturn!
The thick fog spread rapidly, engulfing the entire manor.
The extent of the Hidden Mist Technique at this point shows that Zabuza's strength has increased significantly.
Clearly, after that defeat, this guy must have undergone even more brutal training, hoping to one day avenge his defeat.
Moreover, losing the Executioner's Blade meant that Zabuza no longer relied on external objects, which actually improved his ninjutsu skills to a higher level, giving him a sense of losing one thing and gaining another.
No wonder Zabuza dared to make such a boastful statement and directly challenge the two of them.
Zabuza's impression of Shinji and Hidan's strength was still based on their visit to the Land of Waves a long time ago. However, so much time has passed, and Zabuza is not the only one whose strength has greatly increased!
Some people's strength has even increased at a rate that is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Therefore, Zabuza is destined to suffer an even more frustrating and crushing defeat this time!
"I'll do it. If you go, you'll be too rough and kill someone. Then our trip will have been for nothing."
Shinji stopped Hidan, who was eager to try.
He wasn't worried that Hidan would lose, but facing Zabuza, whose strength had greatly increased, Hidan's strength was actually not very effective, and he would be at a disadvantage in the dense fog.
Furthermore, Zabuza already knows Hidan's approximate abilities, so he will definitely be extremely careful and won't let Hidan easily obtain his blood.
So even if Hidan wins in the end, it will be difficult for him to win gracefully and achieve the effect that Shinji wants.
If Obito had been willing to help, things wouldn't have been so complicated.
However, since he's now called Ah Fei, he definitely won't show his true skills.
So in the end, Shinji had to do it himself.
"Hmph, whatever. You're nothing but a defeated opponent of mine anyway."
You've really shown off!
Shinji suppressed the urge to beat the guy up first and crushed two blood bags.
"Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique: Blood Mist Illusion!"
The dense fog, which provided almost zero visibility, suddenly began to turn blood red.
Although Shinji's blood mist doesn't spread as widely as Zabuza's Hidden Mist Technique, each patch of blood mist is an extension of his perception. Furthermore, because the two types of mist are mixed together, creating a state of intermingling, the Hidden Mist Technique has virtually no effect on hindering Shinji's perception.
Moreover, if it were just him and Zabuza here, Zabuza would be facing a blood mist containing deadly poison!
"Gotcha, Mr. Demon."
Without reaching for the guillotine on his back, Shinji drew his snakeskin sword and stabbed Hidan in the back.
A clang!
Zabuza, who was about to finish off Hidan with his katana in hand, suddenly glanced at Shinji with surprise, then tried to hide in the thick fog again, waiting for the next opportunity to assassinate him.
However, Shinji had already decided to finish the battle quickly and completely defeat Zabuza, so he naturally wouldn't give him any more chances to delay.
"Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique - Ultimate Technique - Blood Deception!"
Zabuza, who had already inhaled a lot of blood mist, suddenly stiffened and began to vomit blood.
From a microscopic perspective, at this moment, a large number of red blood cells in Zabuza's body were destroyed, triggering a series of chain reactions.
This was even though his intake wasn't too high and Shinji hadn't intended to kill him.
Otherwise, Shinji could have waited until Zabuza inhaled a certain concentration before making his move, at which point Zabuza would have been certain to die.
Black Flash!
The scorching punch exploded with a burst of black sparks.
Zabuza flew out instantly, smashing the statue and crashing into the fountain.
The dense fog and the blood fog began to dissipate simultaneously.
The battle seemed to have just begun before it ended.
"Zabuza-sama!"
Bai shouted anxiously and ran to save the person.
Hidan and Tobi were not surprised by the result. Hidan had a strange confidence that he could do it too, while Tobi thought he could really do it.
Mira Poon was shocked and relieved to see the result.
After so much contact, he had come to understand just how terrifying Zabuza was; he could kill a guard of several hundred men without a sound.
Even those terrifying monsters could not escape the fate of being destroyed.
But Zabuza, who possesses such terrifying strength, was defeated without any chance to fight back. What does this tell us?
Fortunately, he made the right decision just now, and did not give up on continuing to invest in the people from the Jashin Cult because of Zabuza's existence.
