"Who told you the five of us would be killing the Fourth Mizukage on our own?"
At Zabuza's words, Madara looked at him as though he were an idiot.
"What do you mean? Didn't you say you'd lead me back into Kirigakure to fight?"
Madara's question struck Zabuza like a blow to the head. He had already let Madara place a Cursed Seal on him! If Madara backed out now, wouldn't that make him a complete fool?
"If we kill the Fourth Mizukage on our own, what do we do afterward?"
Madara looked at Zabuza and posed another question.
What do we do? End the Bloody Mist Village's reign of terror and let the people of Kirigakure live normal lives, of course!
Zabuza was just about to answer Madara Uchiha when he suddenly found himself at a loss for words.
Madara was now a Konoha shinobi, while he himself was a Missing-nin from Kirigakure. Haku had no affiliation at all.
If their group killed the Fourth Mizukage, the people of Kirigakure would only see it as a Missing-nin joining forces with Konoha to seize power.
Even after killing the Fourth Mizukage, Zabuza's status as a Missing-nin would leave him with no right to rule Kirigakure or end the Mizukage's tyranny. Worse, with Konoha involved, anyone with an agenda could exploit the incident to spark a war between nations.
Then the people of Kirigakure would inevitably be plunged into suffering even crueler than life in the Bloody Mist Village.
"You can't be the only person who wants to end the Fourth Mizukage's tyranny, can you? Didn't you think of gathering some allies before making your move a few years ago? You're this weak even now. How did you dare attack the Fourth Mizukage back then? He's a tailed beast's jinchūriki."
