Chapter 337: Hidden Mist Village

After leaving the cabin, Byakuya and Loquat Juzo found a place to sit down, waiting for Zabuza's reply.

Recalling the conversation with Zabuza just now, Loquat Juzo asked with some curiosity: "Byakuya-sama, why did you invite Zabuza to hunt the Mizukage together? You can do it alone with your strength."

Bai Ye looked at Loquat Juuzang and stretched out his finger:

"I do have the strength to defeat the Mizukage, but my identity is the leader of the Akatsuki organization. If I defeat the fourth generation of Mizukage, it will definitely provoke a conflict between the Akatsuki organization and Kirigakure. I don't want to be involved yet. In trouble."

Loquat Juzo nodded subconsciously, and then asked: "But I am also a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Wouldn't it be easier to expose the Fourth Mizukage in my name..."

Having said this, Loquat Juzo fell into silence.

He seemed to understand why Byakuya chose Zabuza instead of him, because unlike Zabuza, he did not have the courage to swing a sword at Mizukage.

Bai Ye shook his head, walked to Loquat Juuzang with a smile, and said:

"You are different from Zabuza. You are a member of the Akatsuki organization. As the leader of the organization, he cannot just watch his members fall into danger."

Hearing this, Loquat Juuzang trembled and looked at Bai Ye in shock.

He had obviously never met Bai Ye several times, but Bai Ye, the leader of the organization, actually treated him as one of his own, which surprised him greatly.

Patting Loquat Juzo on the shoulder, Byakuya stood up and said, "Don't stay here. Let's not be idle while waiting for Zabuza's reply. Let's go meet the other child Zabuza took in."

Zabuza also took in other children? Loquat Juuzang was a little confused and followed Bai Ye.

Bai Ye didn't explain too much, and followed the chakra perception to a cave. There were some simple bedding and clothes in the cave, and there was a young man with extremely pale hair and skin sitting on the stone bed.

"Another beautiful boy. Does Zabuza have a hobby of collecting beautiful boys?"

After slandering, Bai Ye walked towards the white-haired boy. When he was about to get close to him, the white-haired boy suddenly opened his eyes.

The next moment, the white-haired boy disappeared and rushed towards Bai Ye's position.

Loquat Juuzang pulled out his beheading sword and stopped the white-haired boy, completely isolating him from Bai Ye.

Byakuya stretched out his hand to signal Loquat Juzo to stop, looked at the white-haired boy and said, "You should be Kaguya Kimimaro, the last successor of the Corpse Vein."

Hearing this, Kimimaro's eyes became more alert, and he said in a cold tone: "I don't know you, how do you know my name and family, and why do you two appear here."

"I came here to find Zabuza."

Byakuya looked at Kimimaro and said, "I didn't expect that in the process of searching for Zabuza, I would meet the descendants of the Kaguya clan and the Yuki clan one after another. I'm really lucky."

Kimimaro is a ninja from the Kaguya clan, and Shiro is also a ninja from the Snow clan?

Loquat Juuzang was a little surprised. He was no stranger to the blood inheritance boundaries of Kirigakure Village. He had also worked with Corpse Vein Ninjas and Ice Escape Ninjas.

But after the Kirigakure Purge, there were not many blood successor ninjas left in the village.

"Looking for Zabuza, you are the ninjas of Kirigakure Village..."

Kimimaro noticed the forehead protectors on Byakuya and Loquat Juzo, and narrowed his eyes slightly. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that the Kirigakure ninja was his enemy. All his family and tribesmen died at the hands of the Kirigakure ninja.

The most important thing is that Zabuza-sama’s enemy is also Kirigakure.

Thinking of this, Kimimaro no longer reserved his strength, and after stimulating the corpse's bone veins, he rushed towards Byakuya and Loquat Juzo.

Seeing this scene, Loquat Juuzang quickly raised his beheading sword.

Although he sympathizes very much with the blood successor ninjas who suffered the Great Purge, he will fight back if any ninja offends Byakuya. This is his professional ethics as a ninja.

Loquat Juuzang counterattacked very quickly, and Byakuya was faster than Loquat Juuzang.

Before Kimimaro could react, Byakuya teleported to Kimimaro's side and struck Kimimaro's body with a punch.

Feeling the strong wind coming towards him, Kimimaro quickly used his corpse veins to resist.

However, even when his body showed signs of bone spurs, Byakuya still charged forward without hesitation, cracking Kimimaro's bone veins in one round.

Kimimaro, who was in pain, just wanted to fight back, but Byakuya directly subdued him with Wood Release.

Mu Dun absorbed the chakra in Kimimaro's body, and the originally hard bone spurs retracted into his body. Kimimaro stared at Bai Ye, looking like he could not give up.

Byakuya glanced at Kimimaro and sighed inwardly.

At this point in time, Kimimaro should have become Orochimaru's subordinate, and during Orochimaru's experiments and training, he developed most of the potential of the corpse veins and became Orochimaru's top thug.

In the future, he participated in the Konoha Collapse Plan, killed the Fourth Kazekage, and almost took Gaara away.

It can be said that even if Kimimaro of the original time and space does not have a Kage-level combat capability, he is still at the level of an elite jounin no matter how low he is.

However, Kimimaro, who was fighting against him, was not very skilled in the use of corpse veins, and his strength was only a chuunin at best.

However, being weak is not a bad thing for Kimimaro. Although the Corpse Blood Successor is one of the strongest blood successors in the ninja world, it can have extremely powerful strength with a little development.

But the Corpse Vein is a double-edged sword for the ninjas of the Kaguya clan.

The stronger the Corpse Vein clansmen are, the shorter their lifespans tend to be.

Although Kimimaro is currently weak, his corpse veins have little impact on Kimimaro, and his body looks very simple. At least he will not repeat the tragedy of the original time and space.

While Kimimaro was subdued, the noise caused by the battle also attracted Zabuza and Haku.

When they saw Kimimaro being subdued, Zabuza and Byakuya's expressions changed. They didn't know if Byakuya wanted to kill Kimimaro, and they didn't know what happened between them.

After hearing the footsteps behind him, Byakuya let go of Kimimaro, looked at Zabuza and said, "Zabuza, have you already thought about it? Do you want to accept my invitation?"

Zabuza glanced at Kimimaro, then at Shiro, and then said, "I just agree to your invitation. Please let Shiro and Kimimaro go. They are both innocent."

Kimimaro and Shiro's expressions changed, and they gritted their teeth and said, "Zabuza-sama, please get out of here quickly. We are both your tools, and we have long been prepared to dedicate ourselves."

Zabuza gritted his teeth and said righteously:

"I have long wanted to counterattack Kirigakure Village. I trained you two just as tools. Now that I have found more powerful helpers, you two are naturally useless."

When Zabuza, Haku and Kimimaro staged a touching scene, Byakuya felt strange.

Didn't he just encounter Kimimaro's attack? Why now it seems like he is threatening Zabuza through Kimimaro.

Is it because he is a little stronger that he is not allowed to defend himself?

After pondering for a moment, Byakuya came to Zabuza and grinned:

"Welcome to the hunting team. This is the most correct choice you have made this year. Besides, it was your men who attacked me first, and I did not kill him."

"Kimimaro attacked you first?" Zabuza's expression changed and he asked Kimimaro, "Kimimaro, it was you who just attacked Byakuya Jonin and Juuzou-senpai."

Kimimaro nodded numbly, causing the corners of Zabuza's mouth to twitch.

Who were Byakuya and Loquat Juzo? They were people he wanted to attack but couldn't beat. He restrained his ghost character in front of these two people, but Kimimaro actually dared to attack them.

When he met Kimimaro wandering on the roadside, he shouldn't have helped him.

Complaints were complaints, but Zabuza did not accuse Kimimaro. Firstly, he had given Kimimaro an order to warn all stranger ninjas, and secondly, he knew that Byakuya and Loquat Juuzou would not give up.

Instead of continuing to waste time, it would be better to agree to this earlier and go to Kirigakure Village together.

Only after returning to Kirigakure Village can the doubts in his heart be answered. Did the Fourth Mizukage encounter control? Is there really a masked man behind the scenes?

After sighing softly, Zabuza said: "Byakuya, Juuzou, when are we going to Kirigakure Village, is it tomorrow or today."

"The earlier the better..." Bai Ye replied.

Zabuza nodded and said to Kimimaro and Shiro, "I will go to Kirigakure Village soon. From now on, you two will be free and you can go wherever you want."

Shiro and Kimimaro shook their heads and said, "We're not going anywhere."

At this time, Byakuya looked at Zabuza and others and said: "It doesn't matter if you take them with you in this operation. Anyway, you are definitely no match for the Fourth Mizukage. In the future, both you and they will become my subordinates."

"I am very tolerant to my subordinates and can treat blood diseases free of charge."

"Xuetei disease?" Zabuza frowned and then asked, "Are you saying that Shiro and Kimimaro have Xuetei disease?"

Bai Ye nodded: "Long-term use of corpse bone veins will definitely cause blood disease. Although Bai's ice escape blood disease has no history of blood disease, long-term use of ice escape will definitely cause damage to the body."

"In the final analysis, your training method is too rough."

"If they stay in the Akatsuki organization, they will definitely be able to receive better training than now. With their potential, it will not be difficult to become ninjas of the Ninja level."

After hearing this, Zabuza fell into deep thought and was a little moved by Byakuya's proposal.

Although he said that Kimimaro and Shiro were just tools, they had been with him for a long time. If his plan to assassinate Mizukage for the second time failed, they could only be entrusted to Byakuya.

But if he accepts Byakuya's help, even if he solves the Fourth Mizukage, Kirigakure Village will still not be able to gain true freedom. It will just change from a mastermind behind the scenes to an apparent controller.

After dispersing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Zabuza no longer had random thoughts.

Now that I have not set foot on the land of Water Kingdom, why do I think so much? The more I think about it, the more passive I will become, which will affect my plans and layout.

…

A few hours later, Byakuya, Zabuza and his group got on the ship heading to the Land of Water.

After two days and two nights of boating, several people successfully arrived at the Kingdom of Water. The Kingdom of Water is an archipelago country, covering hundreds of small islands, large and small.

The Kirigakure Village is located on the largest island in the Kingdom of Water.

After leaving the port of the Kingdom of Water and setting foot on the land of the Kingdom of Water, Bai Ye smelled an extremely strong smell of sea breeze. This smell was mixed with the smell of fish and sea water, which made Bai Ye feel uncomfortable.

Except for Bai Ye, others didn't react much.

They are all ninjas from the Kingdom of Water. They have long adapted to the climate and environment of the Kingdom of Water. Now that they have come to the Kingdom of Water, they are just revisiting their old places.

Continuing to walk on land, in less than a day, the few people arrived near the Hidden Mist Village.

Compared with the other three major ninja villages, the buildings in the Hidden Mist Village are full of cement. Whether it is the Mizukage Building or the other buildings, they are all made of reinforced concrete, which is the most modern style in the ninja village.

Thinking about it is also relieved. The characteristics of the Hidden Mist Village close to the ocean are destined to be not behind and fail.

After the end of the Fourth Ninja World War, although the Hidden Mist Village failed to develop super-standard technologies such as chakra cannons and air fortresses, it also has a chakra sea fleet.

Looking at the Hidden Mist Village in the distance, Zabuza and Biwa Juzo were a little absent-minded.

They seemed to have left the Hidden Mist Village for a long time, and it seemed that they had only left for a few hours. The Hidden Mist Village was exactly the same as they remembered, with no big difference.

In the past, they left the village for various reasons, and now they are back.

It’s just that this time they are not returning to the Hidden Mist Village, but challenging the current Mizukage, overthrowing the Mizukage and the ninja behind the Mizukage.

Bai Ye glanced at Zabuza and Biwa Juzo, and said lightly:

"Don't be stunned, find a way to reveal the true identity of the Mizukage. I will only give you one week. After one week, I will personally take action against the Fourth Mizukage and the masked man. It has nothing to do with me if the Kirigakure Village is affected."

"During this period, I will stay nearby and help take care of Bai and Kimimaro."

Hearing this, Zabuza and Biwa Juzo looked at each other and walked towards the border of Kirigakure Village together. They easily crossed the border of Kirigakure Village and entered the interior of Kirigakure Village.

Watching Zabuza and Biwa Juzo leave, Bai Ye looked at Kimimaro and Bai and said:

"You two have sensitive identities, so don't think about causing trouble in the past. It's better to stay with me honestly and watch this performance of assassinating the Mizukage."

After hearing this, Kimimaro and Bai became more worried about Zabuza.

However, after spending the past few days with Bai Ye, they have almost figured out Bai Ye's personality. Although Bai Ye is powerful, he is not the kind of cold and serious person, and he can also take jokes.

After pondering for a moment, Bai Ye said to Bai Ye: "Bai Ye Jonin, do you think that Lord Zabuza can really get what he wants? Is the Fourth Mizukage really under control?"

Bai Ye glanced at Bai Ye, and then said: "The Mizukage is indeed under control, but I don't know whether Zabuza can deal with the Fourth Mizukage."

"Specifically, it depends on whether the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village want to change the Mizukage."
