Chapter 202
Once this happens, things at the combat power (Zhao's Zhao) level are easy to say; the reason why he has been sitting in Sunagakure and has not moved so far is because of this.
The key is that the lack of strategic resources makes Sate somewhat stretched.
Sate was processing official business absent-mindedly, while thinking in his heart how to solve the current predicament of the Suna ninja.
Suddenly, a report from his subordinate interrupted Sate's deep thought.
"Lord Sate, someone has come from Kirigakure, saying that there is a letter from the Fourth Mizukage to be presented in person."
"How do you think it should be handled?"
Facing the subordinate's report, Sate's brows frowned slightly.
"Kirigakure?"
Sate was very puzzled by this; the Land of Water is independent of the four major countries and has always adhered to the policy of "staying out of it," and generally rarely communicates with other major countries in the ninja world.
Especially after the First Ninja World War, Kirigakure almost became the major force with the least presence in the ninja world.
At the same time, Sunagakure has always kept the water from the well with Kirigakure; why did someone from Kirigakure come to the door at this juncture? Ku.
"Let him come over."
The Third Kazekage, Sate, crossed his hands in front of him and ordered his subordinate who reported the information very calmly.
As a Kazekage, facing the envoy sent by Kirigakure, no matter what purpose the other party had, he naturally had to meet in person.
This is also the bearing that a Kazekage should have.
"Yes!"
After hearing this, the Suna ninja turned and went down to execute Sate's order.
Not long after, a young ninja with bandages wrapped around half of his face was brought over.
It was Zabuza Momochi, who was sent by Mizunuki Ryosuke to deliver the letter.
"Greetings, Lord Kazekage."
Zabuza bowed respectfully to Sate, his attitude was quite well-grasped, and no one could pick out any flaws.
At the same time, he took the opportunity to look at this Third Kazekage of Sunagakure, and sighed in his heart that the other party's appearance could definitely be called "a talent."
Long black hair hung down along the earlobes, and there was a pair of sharp and narrow phoenix eyes on his fair and handsome face; in terms of appearance alone, no one could pick out any flaws.
Although the other party was young, he carried a unique aura of a powerhouse, a unique pressure belonging to a superior permeated Sate's side, which also made Sate look extremely strong.
"It's the opposite type of Lord Ryosuke."
Zabuza sighed secretly in his heart.
Unlike Sate, who looked very strong, Mizunuki Ryosuke, although gentle to others, was like a deep ocean.
You can never see clearly how many secrets are buried under the calm sea surface, and how much suffocating terror is contained.
"Did you bring the Mizukage's letter?"
Sate looked at Zabuza Momochi in front of him and asked unhurriedly; the momentum in his words was like the scorching sun at twelve noon in the desert.
"Yes!"
"My master ordered me to escort the letter and hand it to you personally."
Zabuza Momochi said neither humble nor arrogant; although his tone was peaceful, it was full of pride.
It seemed that being able to complete the task personally explained by the Mizukage was a great honor for him.
Seeing this, Sate did not speak, but narrowed his eyes slightly.
Not only was Zabuza taking the opportunity to observe the Third Kazekage, but Sate was also scanning and measuring Zabuza Momochi in front of him.
To become a shadow of a village, there must be something extraordinary about him, and eyesight is something that a qualified ruler must possess.
Sate determined through observing the details of Zabuza Momochi's walking and movement, plus the tone and demeanor of his speech and the momentum on his body, that Zabuza in front of him was definitely not an ordinary ninja.
Looking at Zabuza's extremely young face, Sate narrowed his eyes slightly; what position could Zabuza of this level rank in Kirigakure?
(chcc) Sate suddenly became a little curious.
"Where is the letter? Bring it here."
Sate didn't rush to probe, but asked Zabuza Momochi for the letter.
"Please take a look, my lord!"
Zabuza took out the letter he kept close to his body from his bosom and handed it to Sate with both hands.
After receiving the letter handed by Zabuza, Sate read it word for word.
Soon, Sate's pupils shrank slightly, and he actually stood up from behind the desk suddenly.
"Is this true?"
Sate looked at the content of the letter and couldn't help but exclaim.
Although Zabuza had never read the content of the letter, he could still responsibly ensure the authenticity of the content of the letter.
"I can guarantee with my life that the content of the letter is absolutely true!"
Zabuza Momochi immediately replied; he didn't know what the content of the letter was that made the Third Kazekage so shocked.
"GOOD! GOOD! GOOD!!!"
The Third Kazekage, Sate, said good repeatedly, and the excitement and joy in his eyes could not be covered.
"You can reply to the Mizukage now, saying that I agree to everything in his letter."
Sate hurriedly said to Zabuza Momochi with an excited look.
"Yes!"
Seeing this, Zabuza Momochi, although curious, didn't ask much and hurriedly responded solemnly.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Sate shouted to stop him again, making Zabuza Momochi's hanging heart lift up again.
What kind of moth is this Third Kazekage making?
Zabuza Momochi looked at the Third Kazekage in front of him somewhat nervously, not understanding why the other party suddenly shouted to stop him.
"How about this, let me write a letter."
"You personally present it to the Mizukage to show my sincerity."
Sate said with a serious tone; this back and forth finally let Zabuza's heart, which had been hanging in the air, land.
Just like that, in front of Zabuza Momochi, Sate wrote a letter himself and handed it to Zabuza Momochi.
Zabuza respectfully took the letter from Sate and kept it carefully.
"I'm very curious, there is a question I hope you can answer for me."
Sate looked at Zabuza Momochi in front of him with interest.
"Please ask!"
"If it's a general question, I will definitely know everything."
"If it involves the secrets of Kirigakure, please forgive me for not being able to agree."
Even though Zabuza knew that the person in front of him was a shadow of a major country, he still answered very toughly.
Such a righteous refusal made Sate somewhat surprised.
"Oh?"
Seeing the determination on Zabuza's face, a trace of appreciation flashed in Sate's eyes.
Zabuza Momochi in front of him, whether it was talent, belief, or will, had reached a very excellent level, so Sate was even more curious about what level a ninja of this level was in Kirigakure.
"I just want to ask, what level does a ninja like you rank in Kirigakure?"
Hearing Sate's inquiry, Zabuza breathed a sigh of relief; he thought Sate would take the opportunity to ask about some secrets.
But he didn't expect Sate to only ask such a question; such a question could not be considered a secret, and Zabuza then planned to answer truthfully.
Although emotionally, Zabuza really wanted to say that he was a "confidant" unique under the Mizukage in Kirigakure.
But reason told him that it was better to answer truthfully in front of a big man like the Kazekage.
"I can only be considered..."
"A third-rate person."
Zabuza shook his head with a bitter smile and answered truthfully.
This was not an empty word, but a fact.
In Kirigakure today, Mizunuki Ryosuke is undoubtedly a unique existence.
And under Ryosuke, there are heavy ministers of the Mizukage such as Mist Anbu leader Chojuro, White Shark unit leader Hoshigaki Kisame, and Mizukage guard captain Kaguya Yuta.
Further down, there are the older generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, such as Raiga Kurosuki, Kushimaru Kuriarare, etc., as well as the elite ninja among the ninja clans.
After that, there are a group of young ninja who are just beginning to show their edge, such as Zabuza Momochi, Mei Terumi, Ameyuri Ringo, and Hikohiko Mizunuki.
