The Battle Between Both Sides Was About to Begin

"Ye Tou, why did you stop me just now?"

In a secluded courtyard, Zabuza angrily questioned his subordinates about why they were stopping him.

Ye Tou, and his twin brother Meito, were both long-time subordinates who had followed him for many years. He believed that they would not harm him, but he couldn't understand why he couldn't agree to this.

"My lord, the Seven Ninja Swords are treasures passed down through generations in the village and do not belong to you personally."

Given your status in the village, you are not qualified to dispose of any of these seven Ninja Blade without authorization.

Therefore, we cannot make this decision on our own; we must report it back to the village and let the village's higher-ups decide."

The ninja named Yetou patiently explained to Zabuza.

He and his younger brother, Meito, were captivated by Zabuza's immense strength, his ruthless and cold-blooded yet compassionate personality, and have followed him Zabuza.

However, the two brothers had limited talent and their strength never improved. They could only make up for their shortcomings with their brains. And because they used their brains so much and did so well, they were naturally assumed to be Zabuza's external brains.

"Okay, then!"

"Then let's go and communicate with Gonbei and the others to see how the village is being arranged."

Zabuza, understood the meaning behind the advice given by his external brain and naturally followed it.

The following day, Zabuza Momochi Chōjūrō, Kubikiribōchō had rushed from the Land of Water and wielding the twin swords Hiramekarei, once again sought an audience with the daimyo of the Sea Country.

Clearly, the higher-ups of Kirigakure have agreed to the conditions proposed by the Merchant Ninja Village. Their arrogance as one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages makes them, like Zabuza, believe that Kirigakure will not lose to the small Merchant Ninja Village.

However, just to be on the safe side, Kirigakure still sent over the powerful Chōjūrō and the formidable Ringo Ameyuri.

Unfortunately, Raito Kiba is still missing and in the hands of the defector Raiga Kurosuki. Otherwise, Ringo Ameyuri, a "Lightning Release genius," would have been even stronger and reached a higher level.

"Heh, it seems Zabuza has already made his decision."

"So, by signing this waiver, we've been wanting to spar with the Kirigakure Ninja and test our strength."

When Zabuza met again, before the daimyo could even speak, Uchiha Bosawa, disguised as a guard, threw a pre-prepared letter of waiver into Zabuza's hand.

"Hmph, I couldn't be happier."

Zabuza handed the letter of waiver to Chōjūrō, who was meticulous, cautious, and well-suited for and skilled at handling paperwork.

A short while later, after Chōjūrō confirmed that everything was correct, Zabuza his fingerprint.

In fact, Kirigakure was more eager to sign the waiver of liability than Bosawa, because with this, they would have a suitable reason to deal with any potential repercussions from their own daimyo who secretly supported the Merchant Ninja Village.

"Then, how do we compare time and place?"

Zabuza signing the waiver, Uchiha Bosawa.

"Tomorrow morning, on the deserted Demon Island east of the Sea Country, you and your men will go, and our Merchant Ninja Village will also send three hundred people."

The two sides fought to the death, with no rules, no referees, and life and death were left to fate. Whoever returned alive at the end was the winner.

Heh, I think Demon who wiped out all the other candidates in his graduation exam at the age of nine wouldn't mind this kind of friendly competition.

While explaining the method of sparring, Bosawa used words to provoke and Zabuza.

After Feng told him that the duel was related to whether or not they could annex Kirigakure, he started thinking of ways to prevent Kirigakure from having any possibility of withdrawing or backing out.

"Hmph, just what I wanted!"

Zabuza, unsurprisingly, was successfully provoked.

The following day, just before heading to Demon Island, Uchiha Bosawa suddenly stopped Zabuza Momochi.

"What, you've changed your minds?"

Zabuza somewhat puzzled by this, but with the arrogant mindset of a great nation and a great ninja village, he assumed that the Merchant Ninja Village was afraid and was going to back out.

"No, Zabuza, I'm just giving you a heads-up, so that someone can stay behind, in case you all die and there's no one to report back to Kirigakure."

Whoosh!! Thump!!

"Hmph, what arrogance! Wait until I wipe out all your people on Demon Island, then I hope you'll still dare to stand before me, you piece of trash."

Zabuza turned around, his eyes blazing with fury as he glared at Bosawa. At the same time, he swung his Kubikiribōchō at Bosawa, but Bosawa blocked it.

Having failed to achieve his goal, and with the Daimyo of the Sea Country watching from a distance, Zabuza, unable to make another move, could only utter threats.

What he didn't know was that, given Uchiha Bosawa's current strength, in a one-on-one fight, he would be the one to die.

After all, given his strength, he couldn't even beat the Elite Jonin Kakashi three years later, so it's even less likely that he'll have the strength of Elite Jonin now; at best, he's only slightly stronger than an ordinary Jonin.

And what about Uchiha Bosawa?!

Ten years ago, when he joined Feng, he was already Jonin of the Uchiha who had awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan. Later, under Feng's tutelage, he received guidance from masters such as the Third Raikage, Might Duy, and famous samurai from the Iron Country, which greatly improved his physical fitness and swordsmanship.

In his normal state, he already possesses the strength of Elite Jonin. If he were to open the Eight Gates, he would definitely be at the peak of the Kage Level, given that he has two Three-Tomoe Sharingan and can use Izanagi twice to open the Gate of Death three times.

Let Zabuza, even Kirigakure alone wouldn't be difficult for Uchiha Bosawa.

Moreover, Feng taught this technique of using the Three-Tomoe Sharingan with Izanagi to open the Gate of Death three times to more than just Bosawa.

Kentaro Uchiha Jianshi, who both possess the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, also learned it. However, their physical training is currently insufficient. Opening the Seventh Gate is manageable, but if they were to open the Eight Gates, their bodies would collapse before they could even attack anyone.

However, after a few more years of training, the body should be able to withstand a few seconds of Gate of Death.

When the time comes, three Uchiha who can use Izanagi twice to kick Night Guy Uchiha times, aim their Mitsudomoe Sharingan at the head, and they can fight even if the Otsutsuki come.

At present, the only thing we haven't found is a way to prevent Black Zetsu from escaping. We're afraid of scaring him into hiding even deeper, and then being constantly entangled with this leech would be both troublesome and disgusting.

Otherwise, Feng wouldn't be here Zabuza with Zabuza; he would have already swept through Kirigakure.

As for the others under Feng, they either didn't have the Mitsudomoe or they had the Mitsudomoe but hadn't trained their bodies properly, so let's not mention them.

"Hehe, then I wish you good luck."

Faced with Zabuza's provocation, Uchiha Bosawa simply laughed it off.

After all, the opponent was about to face their own clan leader, who was even stronger than him, so there was no way they could survive.

There's no need to get angry with a dying person.

"Meito, you stay here and wait for me to return."

Zabuza, just before boarding the ship to Demon Island, seemed to have thought of something and suddenly spoke up, leaving one person behind.

Not long after, in an open area of Demon Island, where the sea breeze was howling, Zabuza, accompanied by three hundred Kirigakure Ninja, met Feng and the three hundred men Feng had brought, who had been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing Feng and the others, Zabuza and many others from Kirigakure were startled, and various exclamations rang out:

It's you!

"Yuki Rō?! Kaguya Shū?! You actually joined the Merchant Ninja Village!"

"Hahaha, you got away last time, but you won't get away this time!"

Chōjūrō, who was more adept at analysis, seemed to suddenly understand something and exclaimed in surprise:

"I see! I see!"

No wonder the Merchant Ninja Village suddenly became so powerful; it turns out that besides the daimyo, there were also ninja clans like yours who had defected from the village."

Immediately, he secretly made a hand gesture to someone behind him, who then quickly Hand Seals and transmitted the newly obtained information back to the village through a special method.

"Huo Feng, is this why your Merchant Ninja Village dares to provoke our Kirigakure?"

"Hmph! Just a bunch of stray dogs who escaped from the village. Perfect, they'll all stay here today."

Zabuza, Zabuza by Chōjūrō, also thought of this point, but he clearly didn't care. He only wanted to use slaughter to wipe out all the ninja clans who had defected from the village and brought shame to it.

As for the so-called leader, Kirigakure Huo Feng, the people from Kirigakure, who regarded him as a minor ninja village, did not take him seriously and did not think he was that strong.

However, given that the other party was registered with the daimyo of his country, the cautious Chōjūrō, not wanting to cause trouble for the village, specifically instructed his men to show mercy to the other party's subordinates, capture them alive if possible, and not kill them.

Feng, however, paid no attention to the reactions of the people from Kirigakure.

The reason he brought his own Kirigakure clan members was not to distract the Kirigakure ninja on the other side.

He simply wanted to get more of their former comrades' blood on their hands, hoping to deter those with wavering resolve who had rekindled their desire to return to Kirigakure, which had been freed from the ' Bloody Mist Village Kirigakure '.

Therefore, if Feng were to strike today, the Hidden Kirigakure ninjas would have only two options: surrender and become prisoners, or die here.

Then he could use this to pressure Kirigakure and see if they would send someone to retaliate or cower in fear.

Send people? Once they leave Kirigakure, they're no longer under White Zetsu's surveillance. Without any scruples, Feng can instantly activate Flying Thunder God and Susanoo, wiping out as many as come.

A coward? By controlling the funds that the Daimyo of the Land of Water has stopped, or by condemning Kirigakure for attacking the Merchant Ninja Village, he has plenty of ways to use the greater good to coerce Kirigakure.
