in this way, the Third Kazekage was still in the Sand's main camp at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Zabuza, I have a task for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke suddenly turned to Zabuza beside him and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Please give your orders, my lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Momochi Zabuza responded excitedly immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke actually bypassed Hoshigaki Kisame and Kaguya Yuta and arranged a task for him directly; what was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was, of course, trust!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Momochi Zabuza glanced at Hoshigaki Kisame and Kaguya Yuta beside him without a trace, his eyes full of pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"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!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But I think he shouldn't refuse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke said seriously to Momochi Zabuza.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jokes are jokes, but you can't joke about a great nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At least for now, although the Sand's strength ranked at the bottom of the five great nations, it still could not be underestimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Having experienced ten years of peace, the current Sand Nin had reached a peak period in history.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Sand's two unique skills—Magnet Release and Puppet Jutsu—were both in a peak state at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So the Sand at this time was still quite valuable and had strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yes, my lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I will definitely complete your entrustment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Momochi Zabuza took the letter from Ryosuke and immediately rushed toward the direction of the Sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After Zabuza left, Mizunuki Ryosuke faced his \"number one confidant\" and \"number one confidant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Now, let's go do a big thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A sharp glint erupted in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Second Ninja World War was about to begin, and before that, he had to deal with the old grudges.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hoshigaki Kisame and Kaguya Yuta looked at each other, suddenly remembering Momochi Zabuza who had just been arranged for a \"running errand task.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sure enough, I am the confidant closest to my lord's heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The two sighed in their hearts at the same time, their eyes full of pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But soon, seeing the other party, the two's gazes became confrontational again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There could only be one \"confidant\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That is me, Hoshigaki Kisame (Kaguya Yuta).\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The two said in their hearts at the same time, while secretly determined to \"outshine\" the other party in this mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Land of Rain, in a remote small town.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A little boy with bright red hair was playing with a frog by the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And in the field, a couple, also with bright red hair, was working in the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The two suddenly looked at each other and smiled, seemingly quite satisfied with their current life.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although they had left the clan and also left the identity of a ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But those days of fighting and killing were not what the couple wanted; what they truly wanted was this peaceful and leisurely life.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This escapist ideology also determined the tragedy that was about to happen to the family of three.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Especially when seeing the little red-haired boy by the field, this joy became even heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And just then, two ninjas suddenly walked onto the path by the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the war-torn Land of Rain, ninjas were not beings with a bright image.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Mom, Dad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Bad guys are here!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The \"bad guys\" in the little red-haired boy's mouth naturally referred to these two ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the eyes of the people of the Land of Rain, \"ninjas\" were executioners who brought slaughter, and these people were naturally bad guys.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The man's capable movements showed that the man was not as simple as he looked.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The man pretended to be honest and simple, protecting the child behind him, and looked at the two ninjas coming toward them vigilantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking at the forehead protectors on the two, the man recognized that these were ninjas from the \"Leaf.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The two ninjas quickly stopped in front of the man, looking at the family of three in the field with indifferent eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Two ninja lords, may I ask what is the matter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The man said respectfully, his tone even a bit fawning.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But the hand he had behind his waist, holding the kunai, increased its strength slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They were not here with good intentions!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The man with ninja experience instantly felt that something was wrong in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The two ninjas wearing Leaf forehead protectors looked at each other and then nodded at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Immediately after, a dull impact sound came.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Before the man could react, he was directly knocked flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Pfft!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The man bled on the spot and fainted in the field, which also made the woman beside him furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And the one who took action was none other than one of the two Leaf ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Slap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Leaf ninja just used a hand blade to knock the woman unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Finally, the two set their sights on the little boy shivering to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ripple-shaped eyes, it's him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One of them said coldly, then he waved his hand, and the little boy lost consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Take him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After the words fell, the two Leaf ninjas carried the little boy and turned to gallop away.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After the two left, the white monster with a hideous expression suddenly drilled out from underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Oh my, not good~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That kid Nagato was kidnapped;
