Chapter 193

"It is the disciple of the Second Kazekage, Shamon, the famous puppeteer Chiyo of the Sand, and her younger brother, Ebizo."

Hoshigaki Kisame replied to Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Upon hearing this, Ryosuke revealed a satisfied expression; in this way, the Third Kazekage was still in the Sand's main camp at this moment.

"Zabuza, I have a task for you."

Mizunuki Ryosuke suddenly turned to Zabuza beside him and said.

"Please give your orders, my lord!"

Momochi Zabuza responded excitedly immediately.

Mizunuki Ryosuke actually bypassed Hoshigaki Kisame and Kaguya Yuta and arranged a task for him directly; what was this?

This was, of course, trust!

Momochi Zabuza glanced at Hoshigaki Kisame and Kaguya Yuta beside him without a trace, his eyes full of pride.

"I want you to set off for the Sand immediately, take this letter, deliver it to the Third Kazekage himself, and listen to his reply!"

"But I think he shouldn't refuse."

Mizunuki Ryosuke said seriously to Momochi Zabuza.

Jokes are jokes, but you can't joke about a great nation.

At least for now, although the Sand's strength ranked at the bottom of the five great nations, it still could not be underestimated.

Having experienced ten years of peace, the current Sand Nin had reached a peak period in history.

Not only was the Third Kazekage, known as the "Strongest Kazekage," in power, but there were also a group of excellent puppeteers like Chiyo and Ebizo.

The Sand's two unique skills—Magnet Release and Puppet Jutsu—were both in a peak state at this moment.

So the Sand at this time was still quite valuable and had strength.

Upon hearing this, a hint of seriousness also appeared in Zabuza's eyes; once a task involved a Kage, it naturally became an extraordinary task.

"Yes, my lord!"

"I will definitely complete your entrustment!"

Momochi Zabuza took the letter from Ryosuke and immediately rushed toward the direction of the Sand.

The Land of Rain was located between the three major nations, and the distance to the Sand was not very far; with Momochi Zabuza's foot speed, he could arrive in less than three days at full speed.

After Zabuza left, Mizunuki Ryosuke faced his "number one confidant" and "number one confidant."

"Now, let's go do a big thing."

A sharp glint erupted in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes.

The Second Ninja World War was about to begin, and before that, he had to deal with the old grudges.

Hoshigaki Kisame and Kaguya Yuta looked at each other, suddenly remembering Momochi Zabuza who had just been arranged for a "running errand task."

"Sure enough, I am the confidant closest to my lord's heart."

The two sighed in their hearts at the same time, their eyes full of pride.

But soon, seeing the other party, the two's gazes became confrontational again.

There could only be one "confidant"!

"That is me, Hoshigaki Kisame (Kaguya Yuta)."

The two said in their hearts at the same time, while secretly determined to "outshine" the other party in this mission.

Land of Rain, in a remote small town.

A little boy with bright red hair was playing with a frog by the field.

And in the field, a couple, also with bright red hair, was working in the field.

The two suddenly looked at each other and smiled, seemingly quite satisfied with their current life.

Although they had left the clan and also left the identity of a ninja.

But those days of fighting and killing were not what the couple wanted; what they truly wanted was this peaceful and leisurely life.

This escapist ideology also determined the tragedy that was about to happen to the family of three.

Deep underground in the field, a white monster was staring at the family of three in the field without stopping, a hint of perverted joy on its twisted face.

Especially when seeing the little red-haired boy by the field, this joy became even heavier.

And just then, two ninjas suddenly walked onto the path by the field.

In the war-torn Land of Rain, ninjas were not beings with a bright image.

Seeing the arrival of the ninjas, a flash of fear crossed the little red-haired boy's eyes, and he ran wildly toward his parents in the field.

"Mom, Dad!"

"Bad guys are here!!!"

The "bad guys" in the little red-haired boy's mouth naturally referred to these two ninjas.

In the eyes of the people of the Land of Rain, "ninjas" were executioners who brought slaughter, and these people were naturally bad guys.

Upon hearing this, the couple looked at each other, but neither panicked; the man reached behind his waist and grasped a kunai hidden at his waist.

The man's capable movements showed that the man was not as simple as he looked.

The man pretended to be honest and simple, protecting the child behind him, and looked at the two ninjas coming toward them vigilantly.

Looking at the forehead protectors on the two, the man recognized that these were ninjas from the "Leaf."

Thinking of this, the man breathed a sigh of relief; for the Leaf's ninjas, due to some reason, the man still had some good feelings.

The two ninjas quickly stopped in front of the man, looking at the family of three in the field with indifferent eyes.

"Two ninja lords, may I ask what is the matter?"

The man said respectfully, his tone even a bit fawning.

But the hand he had behind his waist, holding the kunai, increased its strength slightly.

They were not here with good intentions!

The man with ninja experience instantly felt that something was wrong in his heart.

The two ninjas wearing Leaf forehead protectors looked at each other and then nodded at the same time.

"Bang!"

Immediately after, a dull impact sound came.

Before the man could react, he was directly knocked flying.

"Pfft!!!"

The man bled on the spot and fainted in the field, which also made the woman beside him furious.

And the one who took action was none other than one of the two Leaf ninjas.

"No!!!"

The woman shouted in pain, and she didn't care about disguising herself anymore, wanting to form seals to perform ninjutsu, but the gap in strength made her idea a delusion.

"Slap!"

The Leaf ninja just used a hand blade to knock the woman unconscious.

Finally, the two set their sights on the little boy shivering to the side.

"Ripple-shaped eyes, it's him."

One of them said coldly, then he waved his hand, and the little boy lost consciousness.

"Take him."

After the words fell, the two Leaf ninjas carried the little boy and turned to gallop away.

After the two left, the white monster with a hideous expression suddenly drilled out from underground.

"Oh my, not good~"

"That kid Nagato was kidnapped; need to notify the main body quickly."

A cheap voice sounded; the white monster was White Zetsu, and it was the spore clone of White Zetsu's main body.

Looking at the couple lying in the field, a flash of ruthlessness crossed White Zetsu's eyes.

"Since you have already been exposed, then you have no value anymore."

Saying that, the spore clone's hand directly turned into a sharp blade.

"Pfft!"

Immediately, the spore clone waved its arm, and the couple in a coma both died.

Afterward, White Zetsu's spore clone dived underground again.
