Chapter 31: Mission Complete, the Treasure of the Land of Waves!
"I am willing!"
At this point, Zabuza no longer had the power to choose.
"I am willing too!"
After Zabuza agreed, Haku followed suit even more simply.
"Mm!"
"Wood Release!"
Byakuya reached out his hand, and a steady stream of Wood Release Chakra began to gather in his palm.
"My Lord!!"
Zabuza hurriedly shielded Haku behind him.
But in the next second, a surge of incredibly pure life force poured into Zabuza's body.
The wound originally inflicted by the executioners blade began to heal rapidly!
"What, don't want me to treat your subordinate?"
Byakuya said with interest.
"No, it was a misunderstanding on my part!"
Hearing this, Zabuza immediately knelt on one knee and spoke respectfully to Byakuya.
He hadn't expected that his Lord would actually help them treat their wounds.
This made Zabuza feel that the decision he made wasn't so bad after all.
Under the healing of the massive life force of the Wood Release, the two of them quickly recovered as before.
"My Lord, the two of us will follow your lead!"
Zabuza and Haku knelt on one knee in unison and said.
"Alright, I don't have any major demands for you."
Subsequently, Byakuya spoke about Kado.
"I want you to investigate and seize Kado and all of his assets!"
This was also the reason why Byakuya intended to find a few subordinates.
Just as the Third Hokage cannot do without Danzo.
Someone always has to handle the matters in the darkness.
And Byakuya naturally didn't have the time to deal with those things every day.
"My Lord, I understand what you mean!"
Zabuza instantly understood Byakuya's intention.
For Rogue Ninjas like them, this kind of thing was simply common practice.
"I still have one billion Ryo saved up; I will offer it all to you, My Lord!"
Gritting his teeth, Zabuza handed over the savings he had accumulated from frantically taking on missions.
At this moment, Zabuza didn't realize that this might be the most correct decision he would ever make in his life.
It was precisely because of this decision that Zabuza, who was originally like a stray dog, would have the chance to ascend to the position of Mizukage.
"Mm, also, don't call me 'My Lord' anymore; just call me Byakuya!"
Byakuya was a bit unused to the title "My Lord."
Coming from Zabuza's mouth, it made him sound like some kind of underworld boss.
So "Byakuya" sounded a bit more pleasant to his ears.
"As you wish, Lord Byakuya!"
Zabuza still felt that "Lord Byakuya" was more appropriate.
Then, Byakuya waved his hand and let them go settle it themselves.
This was when the importance of subordinates became apparent.
Otherwise, having to personally take action to kill someone like Kado would be far too beneath him.
Having finished everything, Byakuya returned to the Village in the Land of Waves.
Furthermore, he announced to them that from now on, there would be no more evil forces in the Land of Waves!
"Ah, this... your kindness, My Lord, we shall never forget!"
The Village head almost burst into tears upon hearing this.
Byakuya had come; the great savior had arrived!
"By the way, benefactor, this is our Village's treasure. Please, you must accept it!"
As he spoke, the Village head had someone carry over an object wrapped in red cloth.
It looked to weigh at least dozens of pounds.
"What is this?"
After Byakuya unwrapped the red cloth, he found only a piece of something as solid as armor.
"Benefactor, this object is extremely mysterious."
"This was hauled up by a brave man from our Village while he was fishing."
"According to him, when he discovered this thing, the surrounding schools of fish were very agitated, as if they were all fighting for it."
"There were even giant sea monsters appearing. To prevent any accidents, the brave man hauled in his net and returned early."
Listening to the Village head's introduction, Byakuya began to study it.
Although Byakuya wasn't sure exactly what it was, it contained a massive amount of Water-attribute energy.
When Byakuya released Water-attribute Chakra toward the object, it actually resonated!
"We usually use it to irrigate our farmland."
"Because every time we put it in the ground, a large amount of water is generated the next day."
The Village head was not a Ninja after all, so he couldn't explain the object clearly.
"We don't recognize this thing; it's better to give it to our benefactor!"
The Village head said very respectfully. To them, this thing was nothing more than a tool for irrigating fields.
It didn't serve a very large purpose.
It was better to give it to someone with true insight.
"Mm, I'll take it. In return, I will send people to help you build the bridge!"
Byakuya had already decided to let Zabuza temporarily handle these miscellaneous matters in the Land of Waves.
"Thank you, benefactor!"
Afterward, Byakuya went to Kado's base to check on Zabuza's progress.
As expected, by the time Byakuya arrived, the entire ground was a river of blood.
"Lord Byakuya! Kado and all of his men have been dealt with."
Zabuza wiped the blood from his face.
Upon seeing Byakuya arrive, he hurriedly reported to him.
"Also, all of Kado's assets: about 2.1 billion in cash, and the remaining fixed assets and various resources haven't been fully tallied yet."
It must be said that having a subordinate to do things was quite convenient.
"Good job!"
Then Byakuya pulled the executioners blade out from a Weapon Scroll and threw it.
"Your executioners blade!"
Zabuza became instantly excited upon seeing his long-awaited executioners blade.
"Thank you, Lord Byakuya!"
Zabuza hadn't expected that Lord Byakuya would have no need for the executioners blade at all.
Well, with Lord Byakuya's strength...
The executioners blade was practically insignificant to Lord Byakuya!
"Put a portion of this money into a Space Scroll and give it to me; the rest can be stored for the time being!"
Byakuya only took a portion sufficient for his needs in Konoha.
The remaining money would continue to be stored.
"As you command!"
Zabuza said respectfully.
"By the way, I have something here. See if you've ever encountered it before!"
Byakuya thought of that armor-like piece the Village head had given him today.
He thought Zabuza might know something about it.
