"What do you think of the Kingdom of Water?"
Zabuza couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Zefeng's words.
Although when he decided to join Konoha Hidden Village, Zephyr said that he hoped he could help unify the current ninja world.
And at that time, Zabuza also sincerely wanted to help Zephyr.
But……
Zabuza didn't really feel that Zephyr would allow him to go to Kirigakure Village.
He once thought in his heart that Zefeng might just be deceiving himself.
In order to allow myself to join Konoha.
Now that he heard Zefeng say such words again, Zabuza felt inexplicably moved in his heart.
especially in……
He had heard that the Fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure Village died at the hands of Zephyr.
As the new generation of Kirigakure Village, Zabuza and Mei Terumi can be considered old acquaintances.
I know that Terumi Mei is a person with double blood inheritance limits.
In terms of strength, Terumi Mei is definitely above him.
However……
They were the strong men of Kirigakure Village that Zabuza recognized, the fourth Kazekage Rasa, and the third Tsuchikage Onoki.
The three of them working together are no match for Ze Feng.
It was enough to prove that the power of Zefeng was far beyond his knowledge.
The ninja world has always respected the strong.
A weak country has no qualifications to survive.
In other words, in Zabuza's understanding, if Zephyr really wants to acquire all the territory of the Kingdom of Water.
He could definitely form a ninja army.
Even though Kirigakure Village was shrouded in thick fog.
Zephyr can also use his own hard power to break in.
There was no need to ask him, an outsider, what he thought of the Kingdom of Water.
Thinking of this, Zabuza couldn't help but fall silent.
Bai on the side also felt nervous for no reason.
"The unification of the ninja world is the general trend today."
After thinking for a while, Zabuza slowly spoke.
Although he was a ninja who was born in Kirigakure Village, and he also had his own love for the village, he also wanted to see the world without war that Zephyr described.
Yes.
What Zabuza loves is just the ninja village where he grew up.
In his heart, he was proud that he was a ghost of Kirigakure Village.
But he doesn't have much obsession with the Kingdom of Water.
Besides...
During the time he lived in Konoha, he believed in his heart that Zephyr would be a good national leader.
If it were him, he would never let a tragedy like that in the Blood Mist happen again.
Yes.
If it is a Japanese style.
In the future, the ninja world will surely usher in true peace.
"If there's anything you need me for."
"I will do my best."
Zabuza did not express excessive opinions on the Kingdom of Water. His tone was firm, as if he was trying to express his determination to Kazuma.
"And I."
However, at this moment, Bai on the side spoke without hesitation.
If Zabuza goes to Kirigakure Village, he will go with him.
On the one hand, although he liked his life in Konoha Hidden Village very much, for him, Zabuza was the only one.
On the other hand, Bai will also be worried.
Zabuza himself is an S-class rebel nin of Kirigakure Village.
Before coming to Konoha Hidden Village.
Their daily routine is to carry out assassination missions while escaping or fighting against the pursuit of the ANBU of Kirigakure Village.
It is no exaggeration to say that for Zabuza, Kirigakure Village is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.
Not to mention the current Zabuza, in addition to being an S-class defected ninja from Kirigakure Village, he is also the envoy of Konoha Hidden Village to persuade the Kingdom of Water to surrender.
Based on Haku's understanding of Kirigakure Village, the other party would definitely not let Zabuza go.
even……
The moment he saw Zabuza, he immediately launched an attack.
Surround and kill without killing.
Based on this relationship, Shiro naturally wanted to go with Zabuza.
If there is any real danger, he can be Zabuza's tool.
Buying time for Zabuza.
Looking at the two people with determined eyes, He Feng felt very pleased.
It is worth mentioning that Zephyr now has the power of seeing and hearing Haki.
You can sense the emotions of Zabuza and Haku.
"That's it."
Regarding Zabuza's answer, Zefeng nodded in approval.
"but……"
"Maybe it's not that simple."
Zefu didn't doubt Zabuza and Haku.
But according to his understanding of the Kingdom of Water, Kirigakure Village is a shinobi village shrouded in thick fog.
But their news is not closed.
Not to mention such a big event as the battle at Sunagakure Village, where even the Fifth Mizukage died tragically.
The information about the battle in Sunagakure Village, absolutely, absolutely, reached Kirigakure Village before representatives from various countries came into contact with Tobirama.
And to put it a step back, Kirigakure is one of the five great ninja villages.
The Kingdom of Water is also one of the five great kingdoms.
And they are not the weakest among the five great ninja villages or the five great nations.
Even after experiencing a tragedy like that in the Blood Mist.
They can also gradually recover in a very short period of time.
From this point of view, it is also proof of its strong strength.
It is said that their ability to collect intelligence information will be inferior to small countries like the Country of Grass and the Country of Taki.
He Feng couldn't believe it in his heart.
But……
In the negotiations that started in the Iron Kingdom, there were no representatives from the Water Kingdom or Kirigakure Village.
Even during this period, Konoha's Hokage Building did not receive any messages from Kirigakure Village.
From these things, it is not difficult to see the attitude of Kirigakure Village.
"If I'm not wrong."
"The elders of Kirigakure Village probably feel that the Kingdom of Water is separated from other countries across the sea and has a natural barrier."
"Even if the fifth generation Mizukage is lost, the ninja troops from other villages cannot invade their country."
"That's why I'm so confident."
"even……"
"A trap like a dragnet has been set up around Kirigakure Village."
Hefeng expressed his thoughts clearly.
In any case, Kirigakure is different from other ninja villages.
After being affected by the blood mist, the ninjas in Kirigakure Village became more cold and ruthless.
Better at killing people.
Since you are not afraid of death, how can you force yourself to die?
Maybe the ninja troops in Kirigakure Village are ready to die in the line of duty.
To a certain extent, Hefeng also admired this kind of awareness.
but……
The unification of the ninja world is not the end.
The Great Toad Immortal has already predicted it.
The world of Naruto may merge with another world, and new enemies will appear.
Not only that……
Even if there is no prophecy from the Great Toad Immortal.
As a time traveler, Zefeng also knows the world of Naruto quite well.
Know the existence of the Otsutsuki clan.
Sooner or later they will find this planet and come to the ninja world.
Instead of just wiping out the ninjas in Kirigakure Village.
It would be better to absorb them and let them fight to protect the world until the day they are needed.
"Although with Konoha's current strength, it is not difficult at all to deal with the ninja troops in Kirigakure Village."
"But destroying Kirigakure Village like this may not be a good thing."
"If it weren't for the ninjas in Hidden Cloud Village fighting to the death, I wouldn't have let Uchiha Kiyoshi take action against them."
Hefeng said seriously.
"I hope that I can achieve the greatest victory with the smallest sacrifice."
"On the premise of not fighting a war, let the Kingdom of Water and the Kirigakure Village submit to Konoha."
"In this new world, build a huge nation."
"Everyone living in this country will be happy."
"This is my dream."
"Mr. Zabuza, I hope you can help me."
Zefeng and Zabuza looked at each other.
He told the situation he might encounter after going to Kirigakure Village.
Although Zefeng specifically emphasized that he wanted to exchange for the greatest victory with the smallest sacrifice.
However, there is also an underlying meaning in his words.
If Kirigakure is unwilling to accept unconditional surrender, it can use force to resolve the matter.
For this reason, Zefu will not let Zabuza go to Kirigakure Village alone.
"Except Zabuza and Haku, you two."
"The talents of our Uchiha clan, and the heroes of the Hyuga clan."
"There are also other outstanding ninjas in the village who will also participate in this operation."
"They are completely at your disposal."
Hefeng said in a serious tone.
And in doing so, it was equivalent to handing over some power to Zabuza.
have to say……
Before Zephyr said these words, Zabuza thought that Zephyr would at most let him act as a messenger to negotiate with the elders of Kirigakure Village.
If the negotiation fails, it will be left to the ninjas of Konoha Hidden Village to solve the problem.
However……
Zabuza never dreamed that Zephyr would trust him to this extent.
Directly hand over the command of the ninja troops to yourself.
Even though he joined Konoha, the forehead protector he wore still had the logo of Konoha ninja.
But being trusted and reused in this way really made him feel flattered.
even……
Zabuza couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart.
"Lord Hokage, aren't you worried that I will join forces with Kirigakure Village to trap and kill these Konoha ninjas?"
"or it could be……"
"After going to Kirigakure Village, I rejected the unification of the ninja world and became the new Mizukage there."
Zabuza took a deep breath and felt some cold sweat break out in his palms for no apparent reason.
In fact, how could Hefeng be worried about Zabuza's thoughts of rebellion?
No matter what, he is a time traveler and has a certain understanding of Zabuza's character.
Leaving aside the fact that Kazuya doesn't think Zabuza is the kind of person who doesn't keep his word.
Even if Zabuza really had the thoughts he said.
Zephyr had nothing to worry about.
Zabuza is said to be an S-level rebel ninja, but his strength is not even that of Hokage level.
One Kakashi can take care of him.
Besides, how could those ninjas sent out by him be bewitched by Zabuza with just a few words?
As they said, they are not only Konoha's outstanding ninjas.
He is also his loyal subordinate.
When Zabuza has thoughts of disloyalty, they will take action against Zabuza.
Own.
There is nothing to worry about at all.
Of course, Hefeng had no intention of saying these words face to face.
Even though he had such an idea in his heart for a moment.
He didn't show any performance either.
"Zabuza."
On the contrary, as Zabuza finished speaking, Zefeng's expression became a little more serious.
He looked directly at Zabuza, making eye contact with him.
But in Ze Feng's eyes, there was unprecedented sincerity.
He was so sincere that Zabuza couldn't help but want to dodge the Zephyr's eyes.
"Since I chose you."
"Let Minato Namikaze take you back."
"Convince you to join Konoha."
"I will give you the beheading sword."
"It's because I believe in you."
"I know your past and understand your original intention of defecting to Kirigakure Village."
"It can even be said that you have not betrayed the village, you just chose an extreme way to save the village."
"If you had assassinated Mizukage at that time, you could have ended the Blood Mist."
"That was your original intention, wasn't your wish?"
Zephyr asked Zabuza in return.
Rather than saying that Zabuza is a terrifying ghost, it is better to say that he was poisoned by the blood mist.
When he was a child, he had to use his own hands to kill all his companions.
Later, the Fourth Mizukage will be assassinated in order to change the perverted system of Kirigakure Village.
Of course……
But what Zabuza didn't know was that the Fourth Mizukage he knew was nothing more than a puppet.
The real mastermind behind this is actually Uchiha Obito.
And the reason why cholera happened in Kirigakure Village is probably related to Lin's death.
No matter what Obito said, he had already let go of Lin and didn't care about what happened in the past.
All his actions strongly prove that he cannot let go.
If Terumi Mei hadn't come to power, she would have turned the tide and put an end to the Blood Mist.
Today's Kirigakure Village will still be a world like purgatory on earth.
"So, I believe you."
Hefeng took a deep breath and said the last words.
At the same time, he also saw Zabuza's pupils trembling slightly.
Apparently...
Zabuza hadn't heard such words for a long time.
When he was in Kirigakure Village, he was told that he had to kill all his companions in order to graduate from the ninja school.
If you don't kill others, you will be killed.
Later, he was wanted by the village and had to live in exile.
Perhaps, in Zabuza's heart, Shiro was the only one who would trust him.
Even former subordinates.
He was just afraid of Zabuza's powerful strength.
So when Zabuza heard Hefeng say such words, he was inexplicably moved in his heart.
"I see."
Zabuza rolled his throat and swallowed nervously.
He nodded vigorously in response to Zephyr.
"Please believe me, Hokage-sama."
Even Buza's voice couldn't help but tremble a little more.
"I will definitely go to Kirigakure Village and convince those people to submit to the Country of Fire."
"Otherwise."
"I will use force to make them accept it."
In an instant, a black fire seemed to burn in Zabuza's eyes.
He swore secretly in his heart.
He must follow what Zefeng said and bring about the true unification of the ninja world.
No one can stop this inevitable trend!
Own……
Most definitely!
