Ninja World
A lonely full moon floated in the sky.
The most magnificent spectacle in Ninja World now is Nine-Dragon Pillars, which is emitting a faint golden light and stands in the center of Ninja World.
Even in Imperial Capital, you can still see the nine iron pillars towering into the sky.
In an antique attic.
In a dark room, a screen was erected on a high platform, and a figure was sitting behind the screen.
Under the high platform, a fat man who was fat and sweating profusely was kneeling. At this time, the fat man was so frightened that he did not dare to take a breath.
"Gato! This is what you told me, and nothing will go wrong!"
The figure on the screen spoke with suppressed anger.
"Sir, this... this is a complete accident. Who knew that the geology of that world is different from Ninja World. Without this geological tilt, Empire would not have discovered that we have reduced most of the materials!"
Gato, replied with a slightly trembling voice.
"Hmph! What's the use of talking about this now! Do you know, Empire Supervision Department has completely intervened, and you have to pay the price for this incident!"
"Sir, have mercy on me! I can give you a lot of money to deal with this problem, as long as... as long as 12th Division doesn't intervene, we can find a scapegoat!" Gato quickly said wisely.
Originally he was doing business in Land of Waves, but later Empire made Land of Water voluntarily surrender through Mizukage. Naturally, the small countries around them had no ability to resist.
After the unification of the Empire, with his strong business sense, he shifted his business focus to Imperial Capital without hesitation.
At the beginning, he was amazed at the prosperity of the Empire's business environment and the good order here.
But slowly, facing a lot of competition, he began to take an unusual path, relying on bribing some Empire officials, and gradually encroached on it until now.
"Scapegoat, haha, that's a good idea!" The man inside the screen suddenly sneered.
"Let's do this! Gato I'll give you a chance to deal with all the contacts between me and you quickly. Maybe you can save your life!"
"Yes! Yes! Sir!" Gato kowtowed desperately, feeling slightly relieved and finally holding on to his life for the time being.
"Well! Come on down! I'm a little tired!"
Gato Seeing this, he didn't dare to say anything more and quickly withdrew respectfully.
Walking out of the mansion door, Gato let out a gentle breath.
However, what he didn't know was that as he left, a pair of cold Byakugans inside the screen felt a hint of coldness.
Gato quickly called his guard Zabuza over, "Quick! Escort me away immediately Imperial Capital!"
Gato looked a little panicked. Now that something like this happened, if he didn't run away, he might be silenced.
"Yes! Boss!" Zabuza glanced at Gato inexplicably, and then walked towards a black car, with a sweet-looking girl sitting in the driver's seat.
"Bai, prepare to take Master Gato away from Imperial Capital!"
"Yes! Master Zabuza!" Bai Tiantian smiled.
Then Zabuza supported Gato's fat body and squeezed in.
The black car drove forward and soon got out of Imperial Capital, heading towards a remote trail.
Gato, who had his eyes closed, looked at Zabuza in confusion, "Where are we going!"
Zabuza's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Boss, Empire is currently conducting a comprehensive crackdown on corruption. If we want to hide, we cannot hide in any Empire city.
So the boss will have to work hard for you for a while, and we are going to take you to an abandoned village for a while."
Gato's originally puzzled expression slowly turned to relief, "Zabuza, I didn't expect you to have such a delicate mind!"
Zabuza smiled and said nothing. After a while, the car drove towards an abandoned village.
Gato, who had his eyes closed suddenly, opened his eyes wide suddenly, covering his neck with his hands, looking at Zabuza with an indifferent expression in disbelief, "You... what are you doing this for!"
Gato asked with a leaky voice. At this time, a large amount of scarlet blood spilled from his hand covering his neck.
Zabuza smiled, "Of course, let the boss disappear properly!" After saying that, Zabuza withdrew the Kunai that had penetrated Gato's neck.
Gato opened his eyes wide unwillingly, looked at Zabuza, and then completely lost his life.
Bai stopped the car gently, with a trace of helplessness on his face, "Zabuza Master, is this really okay for us to do this?"
He was originally an orphan taken in by the Empire in Land of Waves, and was later met by Zabuza during a play.
And Zabuza discovered her hidden Kekkei Genkai and adopted her from the orphanage through some unfair means.
Nowadays, their actual job is to act as bodyguards for people in the Empire, but behind them are the few rebels in the Empire.
"Haha, what's wrong, that gentleman paid a very high price! This is the hypocrisy of the Empire today. He looks sanctimonious on the surface, but in fact he does dirty deals behind the scenes!"
Zabuza had a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
"But sir, there is nothing wrong with the Empire now! After all, it will not affect the lives of normal civilians." Bai frowned slightly and said.
"Hmph! What do you know? Empire invaded our country and annexed my village. What he has shown now is nothing but his extreme hypocrisy, and Mei Terumi and his group of traitors!"
Zabuza showed a trace of distortion on his face.
He has always had the idea of revitalizing the village in his heart, but before he could implement the idea, Kirigakure was gone!
This made him so willing that in a fit of anger he left the current Water 7 province and wandered around Ninja World, just to see if he could cause some trouble to this hypocritical Empire.
Bai sighed helplessly, and then shook his head. Faced with Zabuza's paranoia, he actually didn't know what to say.
In fact, during the period of time when he was adopted by the Empire, he did not have the idea of wanting to be used as a tool for others as in the original work.
Now he just wants to finish his studies in peace and contentment.
If Zabuza hadn't been paying his tuition all these years, he would have left this extreme man long ago.
The black car gradually disappeared into the ruined village, leaving only a lifeless body behind.
Imperial Capital Suburban Loft.
Zabuza knelt under the high platform, "My lord, the mission you assigned has been completed!"
"Well! The records about me were burned!"
"Sir, please don't worry, it will be completely burned!" Zabuza lowered his head, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
"Haha! Okay! It's Demon Zabuza. You can disappear for a while during this period! The money I give you should be enough for you to live for the rest of your life!"
"Yes! Sir!" After saying this, Zabuza disappeared into the hall.
For a long time...
"Elder, why don't you kill this man?"
Suddenly a cold voice sounded in the hall.
"No need, after all, he is just a tool!"
"Yes! Elder!"
After saying that, the hall gradually fell into silence.
Qingyan Hyuga is sitting alone behind the screen. In fact, he is far less calm than he appears on the surface. After all, he has personally experienced the methods of His Majesty the Emperor.
He shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter originally, but his son couldn't hold back his greed and got involved in this corruption.
Thinking of this, his heart became heavier and heavier.
Since Hyuga unlocked the caged bird, it seems that Hyuga has become stronger, but it is never their Main Family that is powerful, but Branch Family.
Since the children of the Main Family are accustomed to living a superior life, this has resulted in their efforts in spiritual practice and career being far less than those of the Branch Family.
Seeing Branch Family starting to occupy high positions one by one, how could the people of the Main Family not be jealous.
It is this kind of jealousy that makes some Main Family young people begin to distort their hearts and become dissatisfied with today's Empire. This is why his son was involved in this corruption case.
When he returned home, Qingyan Hyuga saw his son looking at him expectantly, "Father, how did things go?"
Shimizu Hyuga quickly stood up and asked.
Qingyan Hyuga nodded, and then looked at his only son with stern eyes.
"Remember, you will never get involved in this kind of thing again. You are discrediting the family!"
"Father, I don't want to either! Nowadays, the family is asking for money everywhere. Without Branch Family's service, the maid who takes care of you, the servants, the gardener, and the car for the family to travel, we don't have to pay for it ourselves.
Without these outsiders, we Main Family would still be Main Family! Wouldn't it be the same as the bitterness of those Branch Family?
Besides, father, are you really willing to see Branch Family ride on the Main Family's head and shit! All this is strange..."
"Shut up!" A sudden shout interrupted Shimizu Hyuga's words.
