Zabuza Comes Calling

Under Feng's personal supervision, two teams of 100 men each, Uchiha and one from the non- Uchiha, were quickly selected.

There's no need for these people to travel; Feng can simply summon the Tokatsu the Chameleon to transform it back into Castle, and then stuff all these people inside.

Then Feng immediately set off on the Steel-Wing Dragon to the island in the Rainbow Country where the refugees from the Kirigakure were being settled.

Using the same method, about five hundred Kirigakure ninja faced Feng, who was alone.

The ending was naturally the same. Before the Naruto: Shippuden era when everyone was overpowered, Feng, who Susanoo, was a true god.

However, during the battle with the Kirigakure ninjas, Feng made a slightly surprising additional discovery:

That is, using the Kaguya clan member who possesses the Shikotsumyaku as a tank;

The Hozuki clan, skilled in swordsmanship and possessing Hydrification Technique, are assassins and pathfinders.

The Yuki clan members who can use Ice Release have both control and offensive capabilities;

The Mist Release Kirisame Clan, capable of affecting the enemy's perception, can serve as support;

Add to that the considerable damage from the Himi Clan's Lava Release.

If the Kirisame Clan were to learn Medical Ninjutsu, hey! They'd be a player-controlled party straight out of an RPG game.

This near-perfect combat team, tested over a decade and through countless games and players, is far more powerful than any ninja squad in the Ninja World.

Upon discovering this, Feng immediately instructed the five tribes to form teams accordingly.

At the same time, he also planned to reorganize his other ninjas into teams in the same manner after dealing with Kirigakure from Zabuza.

However, the problem is that he doesn't have that many medical-nin under his command.

Currently, he only has a few rogue ninjas who were recruited from outside and know some Medical Ninjutsu, and Yakushi Nonō has good medical skills but was only recruited by him before the new year.

Let alone a small squad having one medical-nin, even an entire country wouldn't have enough for one.

so...

The idea is good, but it's just wishful thinking. It will only be useful once Nonō's medical base is fully established and there are more medical-nin.

Right now, the priority is to gradually weaken Kirigakure and then annex Kirigakure and the Land of Water.

A few days later, "Demon" Zabuza Momochi led a 300-strong Kirigakure Ninja force to the Sea Country to challenge the Merchant Ninja Village.

Nowadays Kirigakure needs money for everything, and the New Year is just around the corner. Kirigakure used to receive a considerable amount of employment fees from the Sea Country every year.

However, due to internal strife in the village, the insignificant Merchant Ninja Village took advantage of the situation and stole the mercenary missions from the Sea Country and the Kirigakure.

Kirigakure would never let this go unpunished, whether for the hefty hiring fee or for the sake of the village's prestige.

Therefore, Kirigakure dispatched the ruthless and cold-blooded Zabuza Momochi, determined to snatch back the mercenary job and reclaim the substantial payment so that Kirigakure could have a good New Year.

"Lord Daimyo, I am Zabuza Momochi, a Jonin of Kirigakure. I extend my greetings to you on behalf of Kirigakure."

When Zabuza arrived in the Sea Country, he did Zabuza immediately challenge the Merchant Ninja Village to a duel, but instead paid a visit to the daimyo of the Sea Country.

The Sea Country is a subordinate of the Land of Water, and as everyone knows, it almost always follows the Land of Water's lead in everything.

Based on current intelligence, it seems that the Merchant Ninja Village is backed by its own Daimyo of the Land of Water, and has little to do with the wishes of the Sea Country.

Therefore, the fact that the Sea Country abandoned the Kirigakure and instead chose to hire the Merchant Ninja Village was probably at the behest of the Daimyo of the Land of Water.

In response, Zabuza, an extremist who dared to assassinate even his own Kage, originally planned to lead his men to wipe out the Merchant Ninja Village before going to the Daimyo to demand an explanation.

Unfortunately Kirigakure was not under his control. The Elder Genshi, was old and valued rules, traditions, and beliefs highly, so he would not allow him to do anything that would offend the daimyo.

With such disagreements, and after much deliberation, Kirigakure decided to first go to the Sea Country, using the pretext of retrieving their mercenary mission, to cause trouble for the Merchant Ninja Village elsewhere, while also testing the attitude of their own daimyo.

"Yes, Kirigakure is very thoughtful."

The daimyo of the Sea Country responded indifferently.

He was a controlled puppet. Based on the principle that the more he did, the more mistakes he made, and the less he did, the fewer mistakes he made. The Uchiha controlled these puppets behind the scenes tried their best to keep them quiet and quiet so as not to let anyone notice anything unusual.

"Lord Daimyo, there is another matter I have come to request your permission for."

"Oh? What is it?"

"First of all, I would like to apologize to Your Highness."

Previously, due to internal problems in Kirigakure, the number of ninjas protecting the Sea Country decreased, causing Lord Hierophant to suffer considerable losses.

Therefore, Your Excellency has terminated your employment contract with Kirigakure and instead hired Merchant Ninja Village.

Now that Kirigakure has resolved its internal problems, we hope that Lord Daimyo will allow me to lead a group to spar with the Merchant Ninja Village, to prove Kirigakure's strength to you, and to reconsider our employment relationship."

Even the usually cold-faced Zabuza his voice and spoke politely for the sake of the village, a rare occurrence for him.

"Heh, Kirigakure really has a good plan."

"They want to steal the mercenary missions that our Merchant Ninja Village worked so hard to get without giving anything in return."

The daimyo did not respond. Instead, Uchiha Bosawa, who was standing next to the daimyo and wearing Forehead Protector from the Merchant Ninja Village and was masked like Zabuza, stepped forward and responded.

"Heh, you Merchant Ninja Village are scared!"

"Hmph! Afraid?! We have been patiently developing for many years, and now that we dare to stand in the open, we are naturally not afraid of challenges."

"It's just that your Kirigakure's calculations are too poor; we wouldn't knowingly jump into a trap!"

"Scheme? We weren't scheming anything; we just wanted to take back what was rightfully ours."

"Is that so? But according to your plan, if our Merchant Ninja Village spars with your Kirigakure and we lose, then this mercenary mission from the Sea Country will fall to you."

But what if we win? You don't give anything, and we get nothing in return. Isn't this just a scheme that only benefits you?

Uchiha Bosawa didn't actually know if Kirigakure had any plans, but before Zabuza, Feng had instructed Bosawa that Kirigakure must pay a price, otherwise he would use the daimyo's name to drive them away and ignore Kirigakure.

Now, Kirigakure, which is in the process of reconstruction, needs the help of the daimyo of the Sea Country and the Daimyo of the Land of Water, who are under their control, so naturally they have to follow their rules.

This is also the first step in Feng's Kirigakure to continuously weaken the Kirigakure.

"This?! Then what do you want to do?"

Zabuza momentarily speechless; clearly, he was also unaware of the intricacies involved.

Before he came, he simply thought he was just ordered to come out and kill people.

"Simple. You'll bet on your Broken Blade, the Kubikiribōchō, and the Twin Blades, the Ninja Blade Hiramekarei."

"At the same time, if you sign a waiver with us agreeing to accept your fate (i. e., a death waiver), we will fight you fairly."

Uchiha Bosawa spoke again, giving Feng what he wanted, as Feng had previously instructed.

Among them, the Kubikiribōchō was what Feng wanted for himself. Its ability to repair itself by absorbing blood after being damaged would finally allow Feng to have a flying sword that he could nurture without worrying about it getting damaged.

Furthermore, this characteristic has a bug that may or may not exist. If it does exist, obtaining it would be comparable to directly acquiring a pair of Rinnegan.

As for the Twin Blades - Hiramekarei, that was for Hozuki Mangetsu, who is now under his command.

The opponent's talent in swordsmanship is nothing short of monstrous. As long as he is properly trained and doesn't die young like in the original story, it won't be a problem for him to grow into a weak Kage Level in a few years.

The only pity is that the greatsword Samehada was taken away by Kisame Hoshigaki when he defected from Kirigakure. Otherwise, Feng would have preferred to give Samehada to Hozuki Mangetsu, as that sword would have been better.

As for the final disclaimer, it was intended to provoke Kirigakure. After Feng Zabuza with Zabuza and his group, he would use this thing to rub salt into Kirigakure's wounds.

Hehe, putting everything else aside, at least some guys who just finished the civil war and whose blood hasn't cooled yet will definitely be stressed and will keep coming to deliver their heads.

"Good!...

These requests... I need to discuss them with the village, and I'll get back to you later."

Zabuza agree to what Uchiha Bosawa said.

After all, he didn't believe that a dignified ' Demon ' leading a group of elites from his village would lose to the small Merchant Ninja Village.

But someone beside him tugged at him and shook him slightly, Zabuza agreeing on the spot.

To this, Uchiha Bosawa smiled dismissively, "Whatever."
