Thick fog, endless thick fog.
Only occasionally can the aftermath of the Ninjutsu collision be vaguely seen.
Kakashi Hatake and Zabuza Momochi can be said to be equal opponents. Up to now, the outcome is completely indifferent.
The former has Sharingan, and the latter has Silent Killing Technique.
"Zabuza."
Kakashi Hatake suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The companion you brought has been captured. If you surrender now, you still have room for maneuver."
Although there was thick fog, the sound could not be blocked.
The sound of Bai and others' fighting had just disappeared when they were noticed.
"Captured?"
Zabuza Momochi sneered twice and asked, "Bai owns Ice Release, who do you think will be captured?"
"Ice Release?"
Kakashi Hatake was moved in his heart, but said calmly, "If your companion wins, he shouldn't be silent at this moment."
Zabuza Momochi's face darkened slightly.
Based on his understanding of the dialogue, after capturing Tazuna, he should notify him.
Did he really lose?
How is it possible?
Although Shiro is young, he has Ice Release, and ordinary jounin can't do anything to him.
What's more, there are three little guys who have just graduated.
He suddenly thought of Shihui Aburame who took away Kubikiribōchō with his bare hands.
There will always be geniuses in this world.
With his power, he might be able to overturn Bai.
"He is not my companion."
Zabuza Momochi said in a cold tone, "He is just my tool. Being captured means that he has lost his value."
"As expected of a ghost."
Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but frown.
He did not doubt Zabuza Momochi's words.
After all, this person who graduated from Kirigakure to the Ninja Academy single-handedly killed all the students in the same class.
Different from the simple Three Basic Techniques assessment like Konoha, they implemented a battle royale assessment.
But this was the first time Kirigakure saw such a ruthless person who killed everyone, so the assessment method was changed the next year.
"But your defeat is sealed."
Kakashi Hatake quickly relaxed and said.
"Just your three students?"
Zabuza Momochi snorted coldly.
Although he refused to admit defeat, he understood that the current situation was quite unfavorable to him.
All this is because of the three students of Kakashi Hatake.
He originally thought he was at the level of Genin, but in the end he was able to defeat even Bai, who had Ice Release.
This shows that their combined strength has exceeded that of ordinary jounin.
If this continues, his defeat will be a matter of time.
It's just Bai and his Kubikiribōchō...Zabuza Momochi Thinking of this, he suddenly stepped back and entered the thick fog.
Kakashi Hatake suddenly lost his target and his expression became extremely wary.
After a few seconds, he realized something and quickly Body Flicker Technique ran out.
As Bai fell into coma, the fog outside had disappeared.
As soon as he emerged from the fog, he saw Zabuza Momochi rushing towards Shihui Aburame and others.
"Be careful!"
Kakashi Hatake said anxiously.
He did not expect that Zabuza Momochi was so ungrateful that he would directly attack three children.
"Konoha strong whirlwind!"
Naruto Uzumaki noticed him, and his body Rank One was a green roundhouse kick.
Because of the excessive speed and super strength, there was a sound of breaking wind.
Zabuza Momochi's heart skipped a beat.
This kid is no ordinary Genin.
But that was all, he kicked him out directly.
The feet collided, and there was a moment of stalemate.
One second later, Naruto Uzumaki flew out upside down.
Shihui Aburame jumped up and supported him in mid-air.
A force came and he removed it easily.
"Sasuke."
Shihui Aburame threw Naruto Uzumaki towards him.
Because Zabuza Momochi has struck.
After Naruto Uzumaki was kicked away, he jumped up and rushed out at an extremely fast speed.
The target is exactly Shihui Aburame.
When we got closer, we could already see Zabuza Momochi's fierce expression.
His fist was clenched and he was about to hit Shihui Aburame.
Just knock this kid out and capture him, and everything will still have a chance.
Kakashi Hatake suddenly stopped, with a subtle expression on his face.
Are you playing close to Shihui Aburame?
The importance of intelligence is clearly evident here.
Although Shihui Aburame showed his great strength before, in Zabuza Momochi's view, it was just a normal jounin level.
After all, there are not many jounin who can catch a sword with bare hands.
For example, he himself can catch the rotating Kubikiribōchō.
Therefore, Zabuza Momochi believes that no matter how powerful Shihui Aburame is, it is still limited.
He is just a brat.
How... strong... ah!
There was a bang.
Zabuza Momochi clearly heard the sound of fractures.
from his right arm.
Along with the intense pain comes unrivaled strength.
Zabuza Momochi feels like a cannonball.
Take off directly.
There were even air waves visible to the naked eye around him.
That's caused by intense friction with the air.
Zabuza Momochi hit the ground.
Secondary damage ensues.
The ground cracked and deep pits appeared.
Zabuza Momochi I just feel like my entire back has lost all feeling.
He was completely confused.
What's going on?
Is this the power that humans should have?
"If you had used Ninjutsu, you wouldn't have lost so completely."
Kakashi Hatake walked up to him with a smile.
Even he didn't dare to take Shihui Aburame's punch.
It really kills people.
However, Zabuza Momochi is in good physical condition and has not fainted yet.
Kakashi Hatake took one look at his muscles and could understand.
He secretly thought that after returning home, he should exercise.
If his three students weren't strong enough, it would be difficult to end this situation today.
Of course, with Anbu here, nothing will happen.
But what about future tasks?
Let his students come to the rescue every time?
Who is the leading teacher?
"So strong!"
Naruto Uzumaki patted his thigh, which was still sore and numb.
After a fight with Zabuza Momochi, he had a personal experience.
If Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist is so powerful, then Matt Day's Eight Gates is simply invincible when fully opened.
"Are you okay?"
Shihui Aburame stretched out his hand and aimed it at his thigh.
"How could something happen to me?"
Naruto Uzumaki showed a confident smile, but soon the smile solidified and he shouted, "It hurts, it hurts! Why did you hit me?"
"I thought you were really fine."
Shihui Aburame smiled and used Mystical Palm Technique.
"..."
Naruto Uzumaki is speechless.
Can't I even brag?
"Someone!"
Sasuke Uchiha said suddenly.
Shihui Aburame raised his head and saw eight Anbu ninjas.
But it is not Anbu of Konoha, but Anbu of Kirigakure.
They all wore Kirigakure and Forehead Protector.
Shihui Aburame is not surprising.
Zabuza Momochi has been hunted by Kirigakure Anbu since he defected.
It's only come out now, I'm afraid it's just for the sake of picking up some bargains.
"Zabuza Momochi is the rebel ninja of Kirigakure."
The leader, Team Captain Anbu, said, "Please give it to everyone Konoha."
"Sorry, I refuse."
Kakashi Hatake looked at Kirigakure and Anbu, and showed an expression that was indeed like this.
After all, Shizune mentioned to him that Kirigakure was most likely behind Gato.
He also thinks it makes sense.
How can a mere shipping company control a country without the support of Kirigakure?
"This is Land of Waves. It is located in a remote place. No one knows if you died here."
Anbu team leader said expressionlessly.
"Are you threatening me?"
Kakashi Hatake raised his eyebrows and couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
Captain Anbu said with a cold voice, "Although you are the famous Copy Ninja Kakashi Hatake, we have more people than you."
"I will return this sentence to you."
A pleasant female voice suddenly sounded. In an instant, two rows of figures appeared around one by one.
"It's our Anbu."
Sasuke Uchiha was relieved immediately.
He really thought there would be a fierce battle.
"It seems that the village has already planned something."
Sasuke Uchiha said thoughtfully.
"What premeditation?"
Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"..."
Sasuke Uchiha curled his lips and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Easy to attack and defend.
Kirigakure's Anbu team leader froze in place.
Facing Konoha Anbu who were twice as many as them, he no longer dared to say anything big.
"Zabuza Momochi is now the prisoner of Konoha."
Uzuki Yugao, who was wearing a mask, said unceremoniously, "If I want to get him back, I need you Mizukage to show your due sincerity."
"You... wait!"
Eight Kirigakure Anbu said a harsh word, turned around and fled.
"I'll leave them both to you."
Kakashi Hatake pointed at the unconscious Zabuza Momochi and Bai on the ground and said.
"Okay."
Uzuki Yugao nodded.
Kakashi Hatake was born in Anbu, and is their senior. Due to his special status, he has the highest command authority here.
Tazuna was trembling with fear.
Have I just left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den again?
No, that's not right.
Konoha's reputation has always been very good.
They won't attack their employers.
Thinking of this, Tazuna regained his courage and said, "Gato who threatens Land of Waves has not been eliminated yet."
"We're going now."
Uzuki Yugao looked at him and smiled faintly.
After being sold, he helped count the money.
"As expected of Konoha's ninja!"
Tazuna Seeing that the great revenge was avenged, even his words became much nicer.
Under his leadership, everyone came to the residence of Gato.
"Who?"
Outside the residence, there are many wandering warriors patrolling.
As soon as they appeared, they were surrounded.
Uzuki Yugao glanced at it, stretched out his hand, and pointed two fingers down.
Anbu Ninja swarmed behind her.
The battle became one-sided in an instant.
Soon, Gato was pressed in front of everyone.
He was wearing a suit and the Mediterranean Sea was sparkling. He no longer had the arrogance of the past. When he saw them, he knelt down and begged for mercy.
Kakashi Hatake stepped forward and directly controlled him with illusions.
He needs to ask where Gato's treasure is.
But the next process is not convenient for many people to know.
Especially Tazuna.
Therefore, he did not ask for the time being.
"Mr. Tazuna."
Kakashi Hatake said slowly, "According to the previous contract, we will help you build the bridge."
"Thank you!"
Tazuna rubbed his hands and said, "You are really good people."
"But don't forget the terms between us."
Kakashi Hatake reminded.
"Definitely not!"
Tazuna nodded heavily.
There are two conditions.
First, the control rights belong to Konoha.
Second, Land of Waves merchants need to pay certain tolls.
But in return, Konoha promised to provide protection and make connections to help countries near Land of Waves conduct trade.
Of course, merchants must issue entrusted tasks and provide rewards.
In short, in Tazuna's opinion, this is a win-win situation.
[Achieve the achievement of ' Master Shiki, tall and hard', and get the reward of ten kilograms of strength Gu.]
[Ten pounds of strength Gu: Rank Two Gu, strength type, can increase the strength of the Gu master by ten pounds.]
High and hard?
Do I make money while standing?
Shihui Aburame raised his eyebrows slightly.
It's just that ten pounds is a bit small.
But the good thing is that it is a permanent increase and there is no loss.
[Achieve the achievement of 'There has never been a savior' and obtain the reward Iron Bone Gu.]
[Iron Bone Gu: Level 3 Gu, a consumable type. After using it, the bones of the whole body can become as hard as steel.]
There is another one?
Shihui Aburame is a little surprised.
The rewards this time are obviously better.
Although it is a one-time poison, the effect is permanent.
This time he became really strong.
Shihui Aburame is thoughtful.
The previous achievement corresponds to the method he proposed for Konoha to make money.
The latter achievement is probably because he saved Land of Waves, but not completely.
In essence, Konoha is still Gato, but the method is softer.
"Leave the rest to Anbu."
Kakashi Hatake coughed lightly and said, "We have just experienced a fierce battle and need to rest for a while."
In fact, he was a little unable to bear it.
The battle with Zabuza Momochi consumed too much of his Chakra.
If it weren't for saving face in front of outsiders, he would have fallen to the ground and fallen asleep.
"Okay."
Uzuki Yugao There is no doubt.
"I have controlled Gato, and he now answers all questions."
Kakashi Hatake added, "You should know what Lord Hokage wants."
"I understand."
Uzuki Yugao nodded.
As for Team 7, he rested in the mansion of Gato.
Shihui Aburame sat cross-legged on the bed.
He spread his hand, and there was a Gu insect quietly placed in the palm of his hand, which was the Iron Bone Gu.
Ten pounds of strength Gu will take effect after being put into Aperture, so don't worry about it.
But Iron Bone Gu is different, it is consumable.
Shihui Aburame thought, Primeval Essence came out.
The third-level Gu Master's Primeval Essence is called Silver Primeval Essence.
He is a third-level high-level, but because Qixiang Liquor Worm and Primeval Essence are the third-level peak, the color is snow silver.
As the name suggests, it is silver like snow.
Iron Bone Gu was submerged by Primeval Essence, and his body gradually disappeared.
Shihui Aburame felt a strange air flow all over his body in an instant.
His bones have undergone fundamental changes.
"Just how to test it?"
Shihui Aburame touched his chin, thought for a while, and finally gave up.
This is completely asking for trouble.
He doesn't need to do it.
"It would be great if there was Shikotsumyaku."
Shihui Aburame thought of Kimimaro.
This Iron Bone Gu is a perfect match for him.
After a day's rest, Kakashi Hatake's Chakra finally recovered.
The four of them did not stay any longer and returned to Konoha.
As for Land of Waves, Anbu will naturally handle it properly.
Kirigakure.
Mizukage's Office.
"That's just the way it is."
Anbu team leader reported.
"Did Konoha get in first?"
Mei Terumi rubbed his eyebrows.
Since taking office, she has been left with a mess.
Kirigakure Not only is the talent withered, but it is also extremely poor.
Mei Terumi has decided on an opening policy.
Naturally, she noticed the big golden pig Gato.
But what she didn't expect was that Tsunade was one step ahead of her.
This step is worth hundreds of millions.
My hands tremble today, and my heart aches today.
"Contact Konoha."
Mei Terumi took a deep breath and said, "Try to exchange Zabuza and Bai back."
Two in one.
