Chapter 133: Meeting Obito Uchiha Again
After the conversation ended, after Yue Yan promised to help Haku pursue Zabuza, he also agreed to the condition of being the bait.
When Zabuza learned about this, he subconsciously frowned.
"Haku, you don't have to take risks. One of me is enough."
Hearing this, Haku held Zabuza's hand and shook his head slightly.
"I'm Mr. Zabuza's tool. Where you are, I'll be."
Zabuza didn't notice the speechless expressions of Yue Yan and the others beside him. As a tough guy who only knew how to kill, he opened his mouth for a while and only managed to say 'Me too' before falling silent.
Seeing this scene, Yue Yan almost rolled his eyes like a member of the Hyuga main family. Not wanting to stay and watch them being lovey - dovey, he decisively took the three youngsters back to their room.
Early the next morning, after checking out of the room, Yue Yan and the others entered the Land of Water.
After Zabuza successively took out two Mist Ninjas Anbu squads, the Mist Ninjas also noticed this missing - nin (Zabuza).
Just after assassinating the Fourth Mizukage, instead of hiding in other countries obediently, he was still here taunting. Even though he was being controlled, Yagura Karatachi couldn't stand it. He immediately dispatched an elite Anbu squad to kill Zabuza without fail.
As soon as this Anbu squad started to act, it was noticed by Yuan Shi, an elder of the Mist Ninja Village.
As a meritorious figure who accompanied the First Mizukage in establishing the Mist Ninja Village, Yuan Shi's status in the Mist Ninja Village was almost equal to that of the Mizukage. When Yagura Karatachi started acting strangely before, he also noticed it. Unfortunately, he was already very old. Even if he wanted to make a change, it was almost impossible. Therefore, he had secretly cultivated some forces so that he would have the ability to stop Yagura when he ruined the Mist Ninja Village.
Among them, the person Yuan Shi valued most was Mei Terumī, who possessed dual Kekkei Genkai. Although Mei Terumī was still very young now, Yuan Shi had the idea of recommending her to become the Fifth Mizukage after overthrowing Yagura.
"Elder Yuan Shi, did you call me?"
Mei Terumī came to Yuan Shi's office and greeted him respectfully.
Hearing this, Yuan Shi waved his hand indifferently and handed her an intelligence document.
After Mei Terumī finished reading it, Yuan Shi then spoke up.
"Although the Third Mizukage was also dissatisfied with the actions of the major bloodline - limit families and took some rather radical measures, he didn't go as extreme as Yagura. So..."
Hearing this, Mei Terumī also frowned.
"You mean there's something wrong with the Fourth Mizukage."
"Maybe. I can't be completely sure." Yuan Shi shook his head and handed another document to Mei Terumī.
"Zabuza is a talented person. Now, he is being hunted down by Yagura's order. He's in a village on the border of the Land of Water. I hope you go there to give him a hand and do him a favor. If it's found out in the future that Yagura really has problems, we may even be able to win Zabuza back. After all..."
A bitter smile appeared on Yuan Shi's wrinkled face. "There aren't many usable talents left in the Mist Ninja Village."
"I understand."
Mei Terumī nodded and left. She gathered some of her subordinates and followed the Mist Ninja team that was hunting Zabuza.
On Yue Yan's side, he was idly leaning against a tree. Seeing this, Zabuza couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Aren't you here to help me? Why do you seem so unmotivated?"
Hearing this, Yue Yan shrugged indifferently.
"Can't help it. These guys are just too weak. Even my students can handle them without my help."
As he said this, Yue Yan also complained helplessly, "Hey, are there really no decent guys in your Mist Ninja Village? The strongest one in this Anbu team is just a Chunin. Can't you send someone tougher?"
After hearing this, Zabuza was also speechless. Could he say that the strong ones had all been wasted by the Mist Ninja Village itself?
Shaking his head, Zabuza stopped thinking about it. He felt the Scroll that Yue Yan had given him in his pocket. Just as he was about to ask what was written on it, he saw Yue Yan stand up and look in a certain direction.
Seeing this, Zabuza also looked in the same direction and found that a team was walking towards them.
Apart from the group of people all dressed in Mist Ninjas Anbu uniforms, there were two young people who were very noticeable.
A boy and a girl. The boy was thin, with straight white hair and no expression on his face. The girl had sharp teeth, and her wine - red hair was tied into two buns on top of her head. The common feature of the two of them was that they looked pale, as if they didn't have long to live.
"You're Zabuza, the so - called Demon Man who graduated by killing all your classmates. You seem quite strong," the wine - red - haired girl licked her sharp teeth and turned to look at the white - haired boy beside her.
"Leaving him to me is okay, right? If you have any objections, I'll kill you."
Hearing this, the white - haired boy shrugged indifferently.
"Sure."
As he said that, he took out a Scroll from his ninja tool bags and took out the Fuguki Suikazan, which originally belonged to Raiga Kurosuki, and handed it to her.
After receiving it, the wine - red - haired girl showed a Cruelty smile and infused Lightning Release chakra into the Thunder Sabre.
Suddenly, the Thunder Sabre was covered with a dazzling blue Lightning Flash.
"Normally, I'd save a strong guy like you for last, but I've got to share the fun with others, right? I hope you can give me a good fight."
Hearing this, considering her wine - red hair, sharp teeth, and the two buns on her head, Yue Yan also guessed who she was.
It was none other than Hayate Yururi of the Second Generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, who was known for wanting to fall in love even after death. And the white - haired boy beside her, judging from his ability to casually summon a ninja sword, should be Gengetsu Hōzuki.
In the original story, both of them were geniuses, but due to illnesses, they didn't live long. Hayate Yururi died at the age of sixteen, and Gengetsu Hōzuki passed away at seventeen.
Zabuza had heard of these two before. He couldn't help but frown seriously.
"These two are not easy to deal with, and there are so many Anbu members. What do you plan to do?"
Zabuza waited for a while and found that Yue Yan completely ignored him. Then he looked over and saw that Yue Yan's gaze was fixed on a man standing casually behind the Mist Ninjas Anbu squad, wearing a one - eyed mask.
"Zabuza, Hayate Gekkō, and Haku, you three deal with the other Anbu members. Shisui, Itachi, and Xiaolan, you three take on that boy and girl. I'll handle the man wearing the one - eyed mask."
Hearing Yue Yan's arrangement, Zabuza's forehead developed a vein, and he couldn't help but complain: "Hey, can you make your slacking off any more obvious? As the strongest among us, isn't it a bit excessive for you to handle him alone?"
Yue Yan shrugged and casually said,
"If nothing unexpected happens, he's very strong. At least you guys can't handle him."
"What? Are you sure? That lazy - looking guy, I bet I can kill him with one strike."
Yue Yan didn't say anything more and walked straight towards the man wearing the one - eyed mask.
"Long time no see. Isn't it a bit rude not to say hello, Obito Uchiha?"
