Chapter 1143: Want to Catch the Mantis While the Oriole Is Behind? What Are You Thinking!

"Hmm? Where's Zabuza? Did he run away?" Cardo was stunned when he saw that there were only Hao Shuai and a few others on the bridge, but Zabuza was nowhere to be seen.

"You mean Zabuza~~ He's dead." Hao Shuai kindly explained.

"Dead? Humph, I knew Zabuza was a waste and useless!" Cardo looked down on him at first, then said happily: "It's good to be dead! It's just right to save a lot of gold."

Hao Shuai: "..."

He was also speechless. You are one of the few wealthy people in the ninja world, so happy to save a few million taels? !

No wonder some people say that the richer people are, the more stingy they are!

This statement is really reflected in Cardo!

"But Zabuza, that waste, didn't die in vain. At least he fought with you and both suffered losses. Haha~~~"

After saying that, Cardo laughed at Hao Shuai and Kakashi.

It's not surprising that Cardo is so arrogant. The main reason is that he knows that the strength of a ninja is based on chakra, and a ninja with exhausted chakra is less threatening than a warrior.

Although Cardo has always called Zabuza a waste, he is well aware of his strength, otherwise he would not have hired them.

Now that Zabuza is dead, Kakashi and Hao Shuai should have exhausted their chakra.

As for Naruto and the other three brats?

Cardo never took them seriously.

Hao Shuai just smiled disdainfully at Cardo's wishful thinking. He was just thinking of the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole behind.

Unfortunately, Cardo didn't know that after the oriole, there was Hao Shuai, the hunter.

Hao Shuai knew Bai's identity before, so why did he turn a blind eye and let Bai take Zabuza away?

It was to fish for the big fish, the big fish of Cardo!

After all, compared with Cardo's wealth, Zabuza's 30 million taels of bounty seemed so insignificant.

Hao Shuai, who was familiar with the plot, knew that Kado would appear when Zabuza fought Kakashi again and would take advantage of the situation.

For this reason, Hao Shuai would not lose the big picture for the small.

As for why Hao Shuai did not kill Zabuza first and then go to find Kado in person?

That was completely unrealistic. The Land of Waves was also quite large. Who knew where a wealthy man like Kado would build his base!

Instead of looking for him, it would be better to wait for him to come to the door in a few days.

…

At this time, Hao Shuai saw that his final target had finally appeared, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense. He threw the broken beheading sword to Naruto and said, "Take this sword and kill them with Sasuke. Can you do it?"

"Yes!!"

Naruto, who had been playing soy sauce since he appeared, heard that he could finally fight, and immediately rushed towards the group of samurai brought by Kado with the beheading sword excitedly.

The second pillar on the side did not waste any words, and rushed over with the kunai in his hand.

At first, the group of samurai saw that Naruto and Sasuke were just two little brats and didn't take them seriously at all.

But soon, reality slapped them hard.

With Naruto and Sasuke's current physical skills, they were no different from wolves entering a group of sheep when they rushed into the crowd.

Seeing that the two were killing unstoppable, Kado was terrified and shouted to the samurai to protect him in panic.

The samurai around Kado were also frightened by the momentum of Naruto and Sasuke's forward rush.

"Protect me! Protect me!" The terrified Kado ordered: "Quick~ Protect me and leave here!!"

After that, Kado fled away from the bridge under the escort of several elite men.

"Okay, Naruto, come back!" Naruto and Sasuke, who were crazy about killing, were stopped by Kakashi just as they were about to chase.

Naruto stopped and asked in confusion: "Teacher Kakashi, why don't you let us kill the bad guy?"

"Didn't the ninja school teach you not to chase after a poor enemy?" Kakashi said: "That Kado is obviously a rich man, who knows if he has hired other ninjas!"

In fact, Hao Shuai agreed with Kakashi's words.

There are so many rich people in the ninja world, why don't those ninjas rob them?

In this way, they don't have to work hard to do tasks to make money or be bodyguards for the rich!

The reason why they didn't do this is that those rich people have a large group of bodyguards.

Most of the bodyguards in the ninja world are samurai. These samurai may not be strong, and most of them can't even beat the Genin, but there are many samurai!

Compared to the qualifications of wanting to become a ninja, it is much easier to become a warrior.

This also caused the number of warriors in the ninja world to far exceed the number of ninjas.

Although ninjas can use large-scale ninjutsu to crush samurai, their chakra and physical strength are limited after all. When they encounter human wave tactics, they will be dragged down by samurai sooner or later.

Moreover, a wealthy man like Kado will never be without the protection of ninjas.

After all, in addition to large and small ninja villages, there are many ninja families and individual ninjas in the ninja world. They specialize in serving the rich and powerful, and their strength should not be underestimated.

However, others dare not attack Kado, but Hao Shuai doesn't care.

Seeing that Kado has run far away, Hao Shuai immediately said: "Since Zabuza is dead and Kado has been driven away, I think no one should stop Dazna from repairing the bridge. Then I will leave first and meet up with you when I return to the village."

After that, Hao Shuai took back the restored beheading sword from Naruto and left the bridge without looking back.

Kakashi didn't say anything about this. The mission of Team 7 was to protect Dazna until the bridge was repaired. As for the escaped Kado and Hao Shuai's whereabouts, they were not his concern.

As soon as Hao Shuai left the bridge, he saw a large group of people in front of him rushing towards him, or to be exact, towards the bridge behind him.

When the group of people approached, Hao Shuai found that the leader was actually the little devil Inari.

It seems that under the persuasion of Naruto, Inari also regained his courage.

But this has nothing to do with Hao Shuai. He just took a quick look and continued to chase Kado, hanging far behind Kado.

...

Kado's nest.

This is a very majestic building complex, occupying a small forest, hidden among tall trees. If you don't look carefully, you will completely ignore it.

"Hu~Hu~~"

At this moment, Kado, who had just escaped, was slumped in the chair in his office, panting violently.

"You're running pretty fast? It's amazing that you can run so far in one breath with your short stature."

Just as Cardo was drinking water and forcing himself to calm down, suddenly, a teasing voice rang out in the office.

"Who is it?"

Cardo, who was already a frightened bird, looked around in fear after hearing Hao Shuai's words.

"Kacha~"

The door of the office opened, and Hao Shuai walked in slowly, "Of course it's me, who else would follow you all the way back except me!"

"It's you, little brat!"

Cardo recognized Hao Shuai as the ninja he had seen on the bridge before.
