Gato's Destruction, A Super Harvest

"I surrender!"

Swish.

Covered in wounds, Zabuza plunged his great sword into the ground.

With one arm hanging limp, he raised his other hand high.

He knelt on one knee, voluntarily conceding defeat.

Seeing this, Nichiyo and the others were slightly taken aback.

They ceased their attacks, then cautiously disarmed Zabuza of all his weapons and bound his hands.

Once they were certain he posed no further threat.

They signaled to Natsume in the distance.

Natsume placed the unconscious Haku on the ground.

He casually cast a Character Binding Technique: Control on him to prevent the boy from waking up and causing trouble.

Only then did he approach Zabuza.

"Tsk tsk, I thought you would fight to the death."

"Or at the very least, take the opportunity to flee and make a comeback later."

"I didn't expect you to surrender so readily."

"Why is that?"

Natsume asked with a faint, wistful smile.

Zabuza kept his head low, casting only a brief glance at the unconscious Haku in the distance, and said nothing.

Even though he had struggled with himself countless times just moments ago.

In the end, he had chosen to surrender...

Meanwhile, Gin hurried over, eager to butter him up.

"It's obviously because he fears your strength, Young Clan Head!"

"The moment you stepped in, you scared the wits out of him."

Natsume rolled his eyes at Gin and retorted irritably.

"Enough. Stop with the flattery."

"You four couldn't even take him down completely after fighting for so long."

"And that's despite me guiding you from the sidelines."

"How embarrassing!"

Hearing this, Nichiyo and the others lowered their heads, feeling quite ashamed.

"How should we deal with these two? Should we kill them?" Tsukihime asked coldly, showing no mercy.

Hearing this, Zabuza immediately spoke up.

"I know you aren't Konoha ninja! You're the remnants of the Uchiha who defected, aren't you?"

"Since that's the case, I am willing to pay to buy my life."

"Please, spare us!"

Zabuza gritted his teeth as he begged for mercy.

For a tough man like him, being willing to beg was no small feat.

If not for the long-cherished wish in his heart, for Haku.

He probably wouldn't have batted an eye even if someone had slashed him down.

"Pah! How much money could you possibly have?"

"If you were rich, would you be constantly taking on these life-threatening missions?"

"Trying to buy your life—how shameless!"

Natsume spat in disdain.

Having seen the Vault of two major hidden villages, his standards had clearly been raised.

He naturally looked down on Zabuza's meager assets.

Being mocked by such a brat, Zabuza's face flushed red with humiliation.

He had no choice but to shout, "Ten million ryo, is that enough?"

Natsume's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied:

"Someone, untie him!"

Good heavens, is Zabuza really this wealthy?

As a rogue ninja, he has actually managed to hoard a fortune of ten million?

This guy, was he a Pixiu in his past life?

"Young Clan Head, do you really intend to untie him?"

"Just kidding."

"Keep him bound for now; I still have use for him."

"Right, bring that little kid over here as well!"

"From here on out, Nichiyo, you stay here and guard the two of them!"

"If they make any suspicious moves, kill them immediately!"

"I am heading to the Gato Company headquarters with the others first, and will come back for you later!"

Natsume gave his orders swiftly.

Although Zabuza's ten million ryo was tempting, it was merely a drop in the bucket compared to the entire Gato Company.

Therefore, he knew exactly what was important and what was not.

If he arrived late and let that guy Gato escape, it would be troublesome again...

"Understood!"

Nichiyo acknowledged the order and dragged Haku over from the distance.

He then tied the two of them together and stood guard dutifully.

Meanwhile, Natsume and the other three immediately set off along the road toward the Gato Company's lair.

The subsequent journey was entirely uneventful.

Natsume and his group of four easily located the Gato Company's lair.

They easily slaughtered their way inside.

They easily wiped out this massive conglomerate.

And they brought the sinful life of the great tyrant Gato to an end.

It is worth mentioning that when Natsume and the others fought their way in and found the president, Gato, this guy was still in his office, happily "taking care of business" with his secretary!

He seemed to have completely forgotten about the threat posed by Natsume's group.

It was unclear whether he had confidence in those twenty-some pathetic hired killers, or in the renowned Mist Demon.

In any case, although he was filled with evil, dying at the Peak of Ultimate Bliss without even realizing it could be considered a stroke of luck.

Of course, given the boundless sins this guy had committed, he would undoubtedly go to hell after death.

Just like that, after wiping out the group's top brass led by Gato, along with a large number of inhumane, crime-ridden samurai killers, Natsume and the others did not lay a hand on the rest of the company staff.

After all, once they took over this Shipping Company in the future, they would still need this group of employees to keep things running and maintained for the time being.

Moreover, most of these low-level employees were also victims of Gato's exploitation.

They were toiling away and working 996 shifts every single day.

They didn't even have the time to commit evil deeds, which made them quite pitiful.

Of course, Natsume had not traveled thousands of miles just to punish evil, promote good, and liberate these exploited employees and the people of the Land of Waves.

Making money! Making a huge amount of money!

That was his true goal!

Therefore, Uncle Ryu, who possessed extensive management experience, stepped forward to take charge.

After quickly pacifying the hundreds of terrified company employees, Natsume and his group were soon led by a company executive to the front of the underground vault where the Gato Group stored its funds.

The vault was massive, and its heavy door had been specially locked.

It seemed that only Gato and a select few others knew the combination to open it.

Unfortunately, such defenses were nothing more than a triviality in the face of powerful ninja.

Natsume drew his blade and swung.

The sturdy alloy lock was instantly sliced in two by the Kunwu Blade.

The next moment, the vault door swung open.

A brilliant, dazzling radiance erupted from within, forcing Natsume and the others to blink repeatedly.

As far as the eye could see, cart after cart and pile after pile of countless gold, silver, and jewels were laid out in a breathtaking display inside the vault.

At a conservative estimate, the cash alone amounted to over one hundred million ryo.

If one were to factor in those priceless jewels and diamonds, the total would surely be several hundred million ryo!

Rich!

We're rich!

This time, we've truly struck it rich!

What a massive harvest!

Looking at the entire vault and the countless riches before him, Natsume beamed with joy, ecstatic.

His little heart couldn't help but give a violent twitch.

Ah! This is the feeling of a myocardial infarction!
