Chapter 122: Terumi Mei Transmits to the Land of Waves

Terumi Mei gripped the weak point of the Ice clan orphan and said, "If I rescue Taodizabuzhan for you, what is the reward?"

"Seven thousand Reward Points."

Haku, who looked as delicate as a young girl but was actually a boy, said without hesitation, "This is all the Reward Points I have on me; you can have them all."

She was in a state of clutching at straws.

The situation in the Land of Waves was dire; even if she didn't know the background of the woman before her, there was no harm in speaking up to try her luck.

Ever since the Samsara Game appeared, Gato of the Land of Waves had begun to hoard wealth crazily, oppressing the commoners to achieve the goal of exchanging for Reward Points.

Such tyranny was even worse than the Land of Water during the Blood Mist Era.

Gato's frantic state stirred up uncomfortable memories in the depths of Taodizabuzhan's heart, and unwilling to continue risking his life for him, he had intended to leave the Land of Waves directly, only to be hunted down by the other party as a traitor.

Originally, he hadn't taken Gato, who wasn't even a ninja, seriously, but he hadn't expected that after becoming a player, the other party would erupt with terrifying strength surpassing an ordinary Jonin, ambushing Taodizabuzhan and locking him in a dungeon.

To rescue Zabuza, Haku cooperated with the oppressed people of the Land of Waves, conducting guerrilla warfare in the forests and seas of the Land of Waves, hoping to defeat Gato.

"I am not short on Reward Points."

Terumi Mei's gaze shifted.

It was a lie that she wasn't short on Reward Points; after founding the Wuyin Family, in order to build the Cailiaogongfang and collect materials to synthesize high-quality hearts, she, as both Clan Head and Mizukage, was almost too poor to eat dirt.

However, the value of the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai far exceeded seven thousand Reward Points, so she certainly wouldn't be blinded by such petty gains.

"Are you looking for death?"

The wandering samurai was full of anger and shouted, "Dazuna and Haku are both wanted criminals of the Land of Waves Shipping Company. You dare to hire them; aren't you afraid of President Gato's wrath?"

Terumi Mei didn't even lift her eyelids and asked strangely, "Do merchants have the qualifications to put a bounty on ninjas?"

"Guidengchiyue."

Guidengchiyue, having been called by name, understood the implication, gave a ferocious grin, and then walked toward the area outside the teleportation array of the Sihun Yingdi, in the direction of the wandering samurai who were standing guard.

The samurai leader sneered, "Are you trying to send your subordinate to his death?"

The samurai guarding the bridge-building old man Dazuna were all capable henchmen of the Land of Waves Shipping Company.

Seven of them in total.

They were all expert players wearing level 10 green armor sets and accessory sets, each holding a level 10 green weapon.

Furthermore, all of them had mastered a level 10 skill of green quality.

Guidengchiyue, whose skin was fair all over and who looked like a sickly person, could be sent back to the city in an instant.

The samurai leader's gaze lingered on Terumi Mei.

A figure with great allure, a perfect appearance, and a posture as high and mighty as a Noble.

If this were reality, if he encountered such a noble woman, he would definitely toy with her ruthlessly.

"Kill him."

Hearing the samurai leader's command, all the wandering samurai moved.

Streaks of sword shadows tore through the air, bringing with them bursts of whistling sounds.

Yet,

Guidengchiyue was not flustered at all; instead, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face.

He raised his arm, drew the level 15 purple Claymore at his waist, and using the force of his entire body, swung it forward.

Ghost Slash!

A cold, chilling, evil energy, as if from a ghost god, gathered on the blade of the Claymore and poured out violently.

A skill from the Arad Continent, realized by a Swordsman tortured by a Ghost Hand who grasped the power of ghost gods amidst pain and struggle.

The giant purple-black Jiangji,

tore through the eight sword shadows like an evil spirit, not even giving them a chance to react, and instantly engulfed these wandering samurai.

Only the stunned samurai leader remained.

Terumi Mei nodded with satisfaction and looked at the Ice clan orphan and the Life Player Dazuna.

One cannot kill players within the game; one can only drain some of the other party's Reward Points.

She did this to demonstrate to the two of them that she had the strength to fulfill her promise.

"You... just wait!"

The samurai leader tried to slink away, having already bypassed Guidengchiyue, but was still caught and hacked to death.

Haku asked quite rationally, "Why help us?"

Whether it was the Land of Waves Shipping Company in reality or the 【Land of Waves Tycoon】 in the game, they were all big shots with famous reputations.

Although the Life Player Dazuna was precious,

even the Four Great Ninja Villages would not be willing to fall out with a wealthy tycoon of the ninja world; it was a completely losing business.

Terumi Mei raised her arm, and her slender, fair fingers landed gently on Haku's forehead.

To be precise,

it was on the iron forehead protector of Kirigakure.

Terumi Mei smiled brightly and said, "Since you are wearing a Kirigakure forehead protector, shouldn't the Wudai Mizukage protect a Kirigakure ninja?"

"You are... the Mizukage!"

Haku showed a look of shock and stiffly took a step back.

Mr. Zabuza was a heinous rogue ninja who had once assassinated the Mizukage, and since Haku was a tool following Mr. Zabuza, that was equivalent to having a common enemy with Zabuza.

Seeing Haku's reaction, Terumi Mei sighed and said, "Don't worry, Kirigakure has been completely renewed; you should have noticed it too, the pursuit squads haven't appeared for a long time."

Taodizabuzhan and Haku had fled to the Land of Waves partly because of the endless pursuit by the Kirigakure Anbu.

Hearing this, and associating it with the news about Kirigakure he had heard recently, Haku relaxed slightly.

Terumi Mei said with a serious expression, "The list of Kirigakure rogue ninjas has been personally revised by Yuan and me, removing a portion of the rogue ninjas. Taodizabuzhan is no longer a rogue ninja now and can return to Kirigakure at any time; this is the condition for me to save Taodizabuzhan."

"Is that true?"

A trace of wariness and doubt flashed in the depths of Haku's eyes.

Could the grave crime of assassinating the Mizukage actually be forgiven?

Terumi Mei nodded and said, "Except for those truly heinous rogue ninja, the rest of the Kirigakure ninja are all victims of the Blood Mist era."

Ordinary rogue ninja would destroy their forehead protectors, which symbolize their identity.

But the forehead protector of Haku, who has always followed by Taodizabuzhan's side, remains intact, which is enough to prove Taodizabuzhan's loyalty to Kirigakure.

"I'm sorry, I don't know if Zabuza-sama is willing to go back."

Under the expectant gaze of Uncle Dazuna, Haku shook his head and refused.

He is Zabuza-sama's tool and has no right to make decisions for Zabuza-sama; Haku suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "But I implore you to save Zabuza-sama; I am willing to agree to join Kirigakure, as this is the fate of a tool."

Not angered by the refusal,

Terumi Mei smiled, took out a Teleportation Talisman, handed it to Haku, and then said, "In that case, let me, this Wudai Mizukage, go ask him personally!"

Haku had been prepared to endure her anger and did not expect things to turn out this way.

Worried about Zabuza's safety, he hurriedly exited the game and redeemed this Teleportation Talisman into reality.

……

The Land of Waves, surrounded on all sides by sea mist,

at a secret maritime stronghold, several large ships were tied together by iron chains, and the sunken anchors held them firmly fixed on the sea surface.

Inside the ship's cabin,

Haku nervously released chakra and infused it into the Teleportation Talisman.

Hum.

The Teleportation Talisman shattered, and a portal suddenly appeared.

"The structure of the Five Great Ninja Villages has already been broken, and ambitious people will take advantage of the situation to rise; is the first one Gato of the Land of Waves?"

A mature and beautiful figure stepped through the portal, her toes landing lightly on the deck.
