"Gone...?"
Kakashi's Sharingan stared at the place where Menma, Zabuza and Bai disappeared, and he immediately recognized this iconic technique - Flying Thunder God Technique.
This realization instantly took away his tense nerves. Flying Thunder God left... This means that he won't do anything to us, right? The leader of the [Jhin] organization, who possesses two extreme powers of destruction and rebirth, and whose thoughts are unpredictable, seems to be really just here to complete his "deal" and "cleanup", and has no intention of silencing these "witnesses".
Although I still can't understand why Menma deliberately cleaned up those corpses - was it to cover up the existence of that repair ability?
Or simply don't want to leave an eyesore? ——But at the moment when it was confirmed that the threat was temporarily lifted, a huge sense of security finally flowed back like a tide, replacing the fear that almost crushed the heart.
He let out a breath of almost exhaustion, and the hand that was covering Sakura's eyes finally fell down weakly. At the same time, maintaining Sharingan's high degree of insight for a long time, dealing with Zabuza Momochi's fierce battle, and the huge psychological pressure and adrenaline surge that he endured in just a few minutes suddenly subsided, all the consumption was superimposed and came back in an instant.
Kakashi felt that his legs were weak, the scene in front of him was slightly black, his body shook uncontrollably, and then he collapsed to the ground with a "pop" and gasped violently.
"Kakashi-sensei!"
Sakura's vision had just returned to normal, and before he could see his surroundings clearly, Sakura immediately spotted the collapsed Kakashi. She immediately squatted down and carefully supported his body that was almost tilted, "What's wrong with you? Are you injured? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
On the other side, Naruto also released his hand covering Satsuki's eyes. Almost the moment she regained her vision, Satsuki had no time to care about her surroundings. All her attention immediately focused on Naruto.
"Naruto!" She eagerly grabbed Naruto's arm, her dark eyes filled with undisguised anxiety and nervousness, and began to carefully examine Naruto's body up and down, front and back, "What did you say just now? Are you not injured?! Do you feel anything is wrong?"
Seeing Satsuki "touching" him, Naruto felt a warmth in his heart, and he quickly made a comforting gesture, "It's okay, it's okay Satsuki. Except Except that the chakra of the former commander was still a little tired, he was really fine. The guy who came later... well, he was the one wearing Fox Mask. Instead of attacking us, he cleaned up all the bad guys and corpses."
His explanation temporarily calmed Satsuki's emotions, but she still clutched Naruto's sleeve tightly and refused to let go completely.
Tazuna, on the other hand, looked at Fang Yan with complex eyes as Kakuzu dragged Gato away, with shock, fear and an indescribable confusion mixed on his face.
He has also heard vague legends about the [Jhin] organization, a mysterious and powerful terrorist organization that even big countries are afraid of.
But in his imagination, it might just be another version of "Gato Group" - an evil force with a larger scale and more cruel methods.
However, what he saw with his own eyes that day completely overturned his understanding.
The person who dragged the entire Bo country into hell and crushed countless people with capital and violence, the Gato who made him feel extremely desperate and powerful... In front of the organization named [Jhin], in the eyes of the leader wearing Fox Mask, was he as small as an ant?
Just one subordinate can drag Gato away like a dog to death? And Gato's seemingly huge force and thug group were completely wiped out by the opponent with just a raise of his hand...
This absolute gap in power levels shocked Tazuna like never before.
He couldn't help but feel a complex melancholy in his heart, which was a feeling of his own insignificance in the face of absolute power. But more than anything, it's a sense of relief, almost ecstasy!
The leader of that organization said it himself... He would never let Gato go!
This means... that suffocating dark cloud named "Gato" hanging over the country of Bo is really... about to be completely dispelled!
After the accident on the bridge temporarily came to an end, Tazuna did not immediately return to the construction site to continue building the bridge. He safely sent Team 7, who was over-consumed and in need of rest, back home.
A group of workers were immediately summoned. A group of people armed with various tools and with complicated emotions headed towards the place they usually avoided and feared, symbolizing oppression and despair, the base camp of Gato Group in the Bo country.
And when they cautiously approached the gloomy building, the sound coming from inside made them shudder, but they couldn't help but stop.
Inside the Gato Group camp, Kakuzu's "work" is being carried out efficiently and ruthlessly. Those gangsters and thugs who stayed behind and relied on Gato's power to dominate were like paper toys in front of Kakuzu.
For Kakuzu, it wasn't even a warm-up, it was completely "cleaned".
Then, the real "dinner" begins. Kakuzu began the frightening financial torture of Gato. He did not use too many torture instruments. For Ninja who is proficient in human body structure and fear psychology, the simplest method is often the most effective.
Tazuna and his co-workers did not dare to go in and witness it with their own eyes, so they could only hide far away outside the building. The heart-rending and pitiful sounds, which were not human at all, still clearly penetrated the wall and penetrated into their ears, making their scalp numb.
However, for Tazuna, an old man who witnessed his son-in-law Kaiza being publicly executed by Gato, the painful wailing coming from the enemy did not sound terrifying, but was like the sound of nature!
Every tragedy made his clenched fists tremble slightly, not because of fear, but because the long-pent up grief and anger finally found an outlet.
In the room, Kakuzu looked expressionlessly at Gato, who was twisting and tumbling in severe pain. He simply showed one or two methods to maximize the pain nerves without causing him to faint immediately, causing the spoiled rich man to completely collapse.
Kakuzu took out an ancient mechanical alarm clock, twisted the spring a few times, placed it on the table next to it, and made an alarming sound of "tick-tick-tick".
"Tell me, where are the vault passwords, real estate deeds, hidden accounts... where are all the valuable things hidden?" Kakuzu's voice was as calm as if he was checking an account. "If you can't tell me the stipulated time, or if I find anything hidden... we will use a more 'deep' torture technique."
"Wow!!" Gato burst into tears, was so frightened that he couldn't control himself, and cried incoherently.
"Crying? Crying counts as time."
Under the extreme fear and Kakuzu's "coaxing and lying" words, "As long as you hand over all your property honestly, I can consider... secretly letting you live, after all, I am just asking for money."
Gato, who had lost all his dignity and reason early on, was like a drowning man grasping at the last straw. He revealed all his bank accounts, secret vault locations, hidden jewelry, all properties and land deeds under his name all over the world, and all the information on his realizable assets without reservation.
I have to say that this guy is indeed known as one of the richest people in the world, and his wealth accumulation has reached a staggering level. Relying on the confession and "cooperation" of Gato, Kakuzu worked hard for several days before receiving, transferring, and realizing these staggeringly huge assets one by one through various ninjutsu means and underground channels.
After Menma properly resettled Zabuza and Bai, he also used Flying Thunder God to return to the country of Bo. He watched Kakuzu sort out and almost fill a small warehouse with boxes of cash, gold bars, and priceless jewelry contracts. He activated Flying Thunder God to safely transport and store all of these huge wealth, enough to shake the economy of a small country, to the secret underground stronghold of the [Jin] organization located in Land of Hot Water.
After Kakuzu repeatedly confirmed that the "fat sheep" Gato had been completely squeezed out and could no longer squeeze out a copper coin, he also "kept his promise" and fulfilled his "promise" to Gato - he indeed spared Gato's life and did not take his life with his own hands.
Of course, Kakuzu will never disobey Menma's command to "clean up". If you don't do it yourself, it doesn't mean that others can't.
So, not long after Kakuzu left the Gato Group camp, he was well-informed. Especially after Tazuna and the workers were convinced that the propaganda, which had accumulated countless anger and hatred, the residents of the country swarmed in from all directions, thousands of them!
Armed with farm tools, harpoons, and vegetables, they captured Gato, who had just saved his life from financial torture, but now had no money, all his men were wiped out, and he was completely alone.
Desperate Gato issued a plea for mercy and misery, and was instantly submerged in the sea of people's anger. The next scene can be imagined. Gato lost all shelter and paid the heaviest price for the numerous crimes he had committed in Poland in the past - he was completely overwhelmed by the angry crowd, and the ending was extremely miserable.
It seems that the news that Tazuna promoted "Gato has been completely collapsed" is very timely and reliable. The nightmare that enveloped the country of Bo finally ushered in a new beginning with the complete destruction of the old rulers.
