Chapter 333 We finally met

When Byakuya and Biwa Juzo found Zabuza, Zabuza was being besieged by the Kirigakure Anbu.

Judging from the chakra, the strength of this Kirigakure Anbu team should be around that of a Chunin, and only the team leader barely possesses the chakra of a Jonin level.

Anbu team of this strength could not be a match for Zabuza, the result was already determined from the beginning.

After thinking about this, Bai Ye and Biwa Juzo gave up the idea of ​​showing up immediately and hid in the dark for the time being, wanting to observe what kind of ninja Zabuza was.

The Kirigakure team didn't know that there were ninjas hiding in the dark. They formed a battle formation and surrounded Zabuza, with complicated looks in their eyes.

Zabuza is a well-known figure in the Hidden Mist Village and he showed amazing talent while attending the Ninja School.

What made Zabuza completely famous was the practice in the graduation examination. Zabuza killed all his classmates except himself, causing the Hidden Mist Village to lose dozens of Genin.

This action caused an uproar in the Hidden Mist Village and sparked heated discussions.

Zabuza's behavior is completely in line with the regulations of the graduation assessment. Only ninjas who stand out in the battle of life and death can meet the selection criteria of the Blood Mist Village.

But the problem is that Zabuza's behavior harms the interests of the village. If every student in the ninja school follows Zabuza's example, there will be no one available in the Hidden Mist Village within five years.

After a long discussion among the top leaders of the Hidden Mist Village, the project of killing companions in the graduation examination was finally cancelled.

In this way, although Zabuza's actions killed dozens of his classmates, he indirectly saved countless future ninja school students in the Hidden Mist Village.

In this respect, all of them have received favors from Zabuza.

After graduating from the Ninja School, Zabuza's performance was still excellent. In his first year of joining the Anbu, he killed a special jonin of Konoha and became one of the candidates for the Ninja Swordsmen of the Ninja School.

If Zabuza had not assassinated the Fourth Mizukage, it would mean that he would have become one of the Ninja Swordsmen by now.

Thinking of this, the leader of the Kirigakure Captain said to Zabuza:
"Zabuza Jonin, come back to the village with us. Although you assassinated the Mizukage, you must have been deceived by them. The Mizukage values ​​talents the most. As long as you apologize sincerely, the Mizukage will forgive your mistakes..."

"We really don't want to fight you."

After hearing this, Zabuza seemed to have heard a huge joke. He sneered a few times and said:

"Were we tricked into assassinating the Mizukage by others?"

"It was my own idea to assassinate the Mizukage. Since he became the Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi has never issued an order that is beneficial to the village. Such a waste is not qualified to be the Mizukage of the village."

"The last assassination attempt failed because I was not strong enough. When I find the right opportunity, I will return to the village to challenge Karatachi Yagura again."

"You guys have followed me for so long, do you really think I won't kill you?"

Hearing this, the Kirigakure team looked at each other, then rushed towards Zabuza's position, launching an attack from the front, side, and back at the same time.

The attacks of the Anbu are not flashy, nor do they emphasize martial ethics, but they are the most effective way to eliminate the enemy.

An Anbu team composed of Chunins who have undergone rigorous training may even have the opportunity to assassinate Jonins from the five major ninja villages. After all, even Jonins cannot be in a state of high tension all the time.

Zabuza, who came from the Anbu, knew very well what these people wanted to do, and he also knew that it would be dangerous if he was entangled.

After quickly forming seals with his hands, Zabuza performed the Mist Hiding Technique. In less than half a breath, the surrounding woods were shrouded in thick fog.

The thick fog contained chakra, which could block vision and some chakra perception. After taking a deep breath, Zabuza drew the short sword at his waist and shuttled through the thick fog to harvest the Kirigakure team. Although the Kirigakure Anbu team also mastered the Kirigakure technique, their proficiency and skills were far inferior to Zabuza's.

Accompanied by bursts of muffled sounds in the thick fog, members of the Kirigakure Anbu fell to the ground one by one.

Looking at the unconscious Mist Village Anbu lying on the ground, Zabuza gritted his teeth. He didn't want to kill his former colleagues, but if he didn't teach these people a lesson, they would follow him like flies and cause trouble for him all the time.

After dealing with his footprints and his own scent, Zabuza sneaked into the forest.

Not far away, Bai Ye and Biwa Juzo watched Zabuza disappear, looked at each other, used transformation techniques to become the appearance of Kirigakure Anbu, and chased after him.

Bai Ye locked onto Zabuza's position and said with a smile:

"Biwa Juzo, it seems that the demon Zabuza is not as cruel as the legend says. He didn't kill these pursuers."

When Biwa Juzo heard this, he looked deeply in the direction of Zabuza.

When he saw Zabuza, he thought of his younger self. At that time, he was as heroic as Zabuza, but unfortunately, as time went by, he gradually became taciturn.

When encountering problems, they will not take the initiative to find solutions, but choose to escape.

After following Zabuza for an hour, Bai Ye and Biwa Juzo came to a valley with a hunter's hut. Zabuza pushed open the door and walked straight in.

The boy in ninja clothes stuck his head out, looked around, and closed the door.

After seeing a wound on Zabuza's body, the young man said with some distress:

"Master Zabuza, you are injured. I will bandage you immediately. What enemy did you encounter this time? Are they pursuers from the Kirigakure?"

Zabuza nodded, and then said: "That's good to know, but those Kirigakure pursuers were no match for me. It only took me a minute to deal with them all."

"Only one minute?" Bai was stunned for a moment, then complained to himself: "But you are still injured. If it weren't for taking care of me, you wouldn't have to stay here."

Zabuza frowned, stared at Bai and said:
"Who do you think you are? You are just a tool of mine. Why do you question my decision? Before you grow into a qualified tool, I will not allow anything to happen to you."

"Go and cook for me right now. I'm hungry."

Hearing this, Bai nodded quickly and walked out of the wooden house with a faint smile on his face.

Although Lord Zabuza is usually fierce, he is actually a very gentle person.

If it weren't for Lord Zabuza, he would have starved to death on the streets of the Land of Water, or like his mother, he would have been killed by the Kirigakure ninja who was hunting for bloodline limits.

At this time, Zabuza seemed to have thought of something and said to Bai:
"By the way, send some food to that guy after it's ready. But it must be of the worst quality. That guy didn't obey my orders, so he must be punished."

"Okay, Master Zabuza."

After agreeing to Zabuza, Bai pushed open the door and immediately saw two ninjas dressed as Kirigakure appear in front of him. Their eyes passed over him and locked onto Zabuza who was sitting on a stool.

"Kito Zabuza, we finally meet."
