Chapter 27: Zabuza: Sorry, Lord Byakuya, I Failed to Make You Use Your Full Strength
"Audacious! Someone actually dares to oppose me!"
Kado's pig-like frame wobbled as he spoke.
It was clear that Kado was currently a bit exasperated.
"Hey, Zabuza, I didn't call you here just to sit there!"
Kado was annoyed seeing Zabuza acting as if nothing was happening.
I spent so much money to hire you, and when I run into trouble, you act like it's none of your business?
Facing Kado's provocation, Zabuza's face could be described as incredibly dark right now.
Just as Kado was pointing at Zabuza's nose and shouting,
A Senbon was accidentally placed next to Kado's head.
It was as if the next second Kado cursed at Zabuza again, the other party could shove it in.
"You think I wanted to come to this place?"
Zabuza was currently full of resentment.
For such a small amount of pay, he had come to a godforsaken place like the Land of Waves.
Not only that, but the executioners blade in his hands was stolen by someone else.
Heavens bear witness! Zabuza has lived most of his life.
This was the first time he had ever felt so helpless.
Furthermore, with that pig Kado constantly chattering nearby, Zabuza had long wanted to kill him.
"Whatever Ninja you provoked, you deal with it yourself. My goal was only to deal with that bridge builder!!"
Zabuza, having lost the executioners blade, desperately wanted to squeeze more money out of Kado now.
Otherwise, the loss would be too great.
"What do you mean? You want to raise the price now? I already paid you thirty million Ryo!"
In his heart, Kado had already cursed Zabuza's entire family a thousand times over.
Damn it, every single one of these Ninja was greedier than he was.
They took tens of millions from him and still weren't satisfied, intending to keep extorting money.
The key was that he only asked them to deal with a defenseless old man, yet they dared to demand such exorbitant fees.
But what Kado didn't know was this:
Zabuza was an honest man; working hard and risking his life only earned him a meager wage.
Konoha had incorrectly assessed the mission rank for the Land of Waves, but hadn't Kado also incorrectly assessed Konoha's strength?
"Tell me, what exactly will it take for you to make a move!"
No matter how angry Kado was, he could only compromise with Zabuza now.
There was no choice; the strongest person under his command was only a Chunin.
And that person had been killed without a trace, meaning the rest of his men were even more useless.
"Fine, but..."
"I need more money!"
"Alright, no problem!!"
Kado finally agreed to Zabuza's demand.
As long as Zabuza could get rid of these Konoha Ninja for him, what was a little extra money?
He could just earn it back from those poor wretches later.
At the same time, Zabuza never expected that the person he was about to face was the one who had forced him to abandon his weapon.
It must be said that this was still the thinking of a normal person.
No one would have guessed that a simple bridge-building matter could involve an expert of this caliber.
Zabuza then left Kado's base with Haku.
"Lord Zabuza, your great sword?"
Haku asked, puzzled, upon seeing that the executioners blade Zabuza usually carried was missing.
"Don't mention it. I ran into a powerful opponent on the road."
"In the end, the opponent was superior and took my weapon!"
Zabuza's face was ashen as he told a small lie.
The key was that he couldn't possibly say he was so scared by the opponent's Ninjutsu that he dropped his weapon and ran away, could he?
If he did that, his image in Haku's heart would be completely ruined.
"Who could possibly take a weapon from Lord Zabuza's hands!"
Haku was completely shocked. If even Lord Zabuza wasn't the opponent's match,
then retrieving the executioners blade seemed like a distant dream.
"That person's Chakra is terrifying!"
Thinking of the person he met today, Zabuza felt deep apprehension.
The Chakra inside that opponent was even more frightening than some Tailed Beasts.
He knew this because he had seen Tailed Beast Jinchuriki before.
He had even dared to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage.
But even so, the pressure the Fourth Mizukage exerted on him wasn't as strong as the person he met today.
"Forget it, let's go scam Kado out of some money first!"
Zabuza took Haku to find the target and quickly deal with them.
"Since that person saved those children, they will definitely return to the Village. We just need to monitor the Village."
It must be said that Zabuza's thinking was quite thorough.
But he never imagined who he would be facing next.
"Kakashi-sensei, this mission is too smooth, isn't it? It feels like there's no difficulty at all."
At this moment, Kakashi's Team 7 had arrived on the small island of the Land of Waves.
But how to put it—Byakuya had already cleared the obstacles along the way.
This resulted in Kakashi and his group encountering no enemies whatsoever.
It was purely a C-rank mission.
No wonder Naruto complained with great dissatisfaction.
He also wanted to perform exciting combat missions like Byakuya.
"Don't be overly ambitious."
As their teacher, Kakashi certainly had to educate them at this point.
"Byakuya is able to undertake high-level missions because these low-level missions are completely meaningless to him."
"But you guys are still far from that level!"
