Chapter 246: The Hero of Mist

There was a constant sound of clashing weapons in the thick fog, until Lu Li felt that it was almost done, he let out a muffled groan, "Momochi Zabuza, I will remember you. When I adjust my condition, I will take your life!"

The Kirigakure ninjas who couldn't clearly see the scene deep in the thick fog were excited when they heard Lu Li's words. Could it be that Mr. Zabuza was going to repel the demon Calamity?

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

Zabuza's voice sounded in the thick fog, followed by another sound of weapons clashing.

After the fierce collision, Lu Li's cry of pain sounded again, and then the thick fog gradually subsided.

When the ninjas of Kirigakure saw Zabuza with his back to them, holding a decapitating sword, they made unwilling voices, "Damn it, let him escape."

The other Kirigakure ninjas were relieved when they heard that Zabuza's 'Real Hammer' Lu Li had fled. Of course they were eager to kill Lu Li, the enemy who destroyed Kirigakure Village, but they were only chuunin and genin, and their true actions would only add to the chaos and cause trouble. Lu Li just restored his chakra.

When the thick fog cleared, the sun's rays shone down on Zabuza.

For a time, many ninjas from Kirigakure Village who had survived the disaster looked at Zabuza with admiration.

"Mr. Zabuza wins!"

"We have defeated the natural disaster!"

"Long live Zabuza-sama!"

"..."

Cheers sounded one after another, making Zabuza's expression a little unnatural with his back to Kirigakure. Fortunately, he was masked, otherwise his flaws would definitely be exposed.

The script just now was not written by Lu Li, but was ghostwritten by Mr. Orochimaru, who had certain screenwriting skills. Since Zabuza lived in Orochimaru's base, the affair between him and Lu Li naturally could not be hidden.

Lu Li didn't bother to hide his plans in Kirigakure Village from Orochimaru. Anyway, Orochimaru only had Konoha in his heart, and he was not interested in the affairs of Kirigakure Village.

Because Lu Li was short of time in the mission world (it's not that he couldn't write it), he gave Orochimaru the exercise script for the Kirigakure Village to write. Orochimaru seemed to be very interested in this kind of thing, and he readily agreed. .

The subsequent flyers and scripts were all formulated by Orochimaru. He regarded this as a preview of Konoha's destruction plan, and could get some reference from the Kirigakure Village's response.

When Zabuza got the script, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but after actually acting in it once, he felt that the script was quite cliche and very embarrassing to perform.

He saw the tense expressions of the natural disaster masters opposite him several times, but in the end they still held back their laughter and finished the whole set.

It turns out that although the script is cliché, the effect is surprisingly good.

The main reason is that the people in Kirigakure Village have experienced ups and downs today. At the critical moment of life and death, the excitement makes their spirits become trance-like, and they would not think about things too complicated.

In times of crisis, the person who stepped forward to save them was Zabuza. This fact was enough.

Originally, Lu Li wanted Orochimaru to clone a prosthesis of his, place it in Kirigakure Village, and kill Zabu directly.

But he thought about it and felt that he would cause big things in the ninja world in the future. It would be difficult to hide the news that he was alive. This would shake Zabuza's authority after that. It would be better to show that he was exhausted and defeated by Zabuza. Knocked back by Zabuza.

Another advantage of doing this is that the villagers in Wuyin Village will subconsciously think that Lu Li will attack again, so it will be difficult for the whole village to continue fighting among themselves. After all, Lu Li is a powerful foreign enemy threatening them.

In addition, since Zabuza is Lu Li's primary 'retaliation target', it is perfect for him to take the position of Mizukage now.

After all, in a sense, Mizukage's position is a bit hot now, and it's really hard for most people to sit on it.

Zabuza listened to the cheers of the Kirigakure villagers, turned around slowly, and forced out a sad expression.

This was not a pretense, he was really a little sad for Mizukage's death, but he also felt that this might be the best way for Yagura to die. Dying to defend the village would at least wash away his previous stigma. In the end, die as a hero.

In addition, Kisame also died in this battle. Although Kisame is his potential rival for Mizukage, he still has some respect for this senior of the Seven Mist Blades.

When the uprising was about to begin, Kisame knew about him, but he did not expose him and maintained acquiescence.

In Zabuza's heart, Inigaki Kisame has always been a qualified ninja of Kirigakure Village, worthy of the name of the Kirigakure Seven. However, he was tormented in his heart over his duties and stance, and finally chose to side with Mizukage. , and did not rebel.

There was no way that there would be no casualties in the war. Even if Lu Li had spared his efforts, some of the Jonin who had participated in the previous attack on him still died, and many of them were seriously injured.

Kirigakure Village has undoubtedly suffered a heavy blow today, but fortunately, since then, the Blood Mist has ceased to exist, and Zabuza believes that he can make the village better.

As for Lu Li, no matter from the perspective of kindness or strength, it is impossible for him to cut off from Lu Li for the time being. If Lu Li has something to do, he will still help as long as it does not harm the foundation of Wuyin Village. Do it.

…………

At the same time, on the other side, Terumi Mei, who had just taken her children out to sea, suddenly received a message from an elder of Kirigakure Village.

"What? The natural disaster has been repelled!?"

"Ah? Or was he repelled by Zabuza?"

Terumi Mei was shocked by the news that came continuously. With her keen political sense, she immediately noticed something was wrong.

Even if she wasn't there, she knew there was definitely something fishy going on.

What is the power of natural disaster? That was a super powerful ninja that even she, Kisame and the Fourth Mizukage couldn't defeat. Even if he was exhausted and had insufficient chakra, he shouldn't be an opponent that Zabuza could defeat.

But it was useless what she said now. She knew that all the villagers must be on Zabuza's side now, impressed by Zabuza's heroic performance.

Although Zabuza is a rebel ninja, it was the Fourth Mizukage who pronounced the sentence, and now everyone knows that the Fourth Mizukage is controlled, then Zabuza's status as a rebel ninja is equivalent to nothing. After all, his actions back then were regarded as A revolution to save the village.

"Zabuza...you can't be...really connected with the natural disaster, right?"

Terumi Mei said to herself with a solemn expression.

She reluctantly ordered the ship to turn back, sighing in her heart. No matter what the truth was, she seemed to have no chance of being the Fifth Mizukage.

Fortunately, she didn't hate Zabuza and knew that he was not a cold and heartless man. They had the same view on the future development of the village.

If Zabuza was interested in developing the village, she could only put down her modest ambitions and cooperate with Zabuza to develop Kirigakure Village.

But if Zabuza is really the lackey of the natural disaster, and wants to drain Kirigakure village dry, Terumi Mei will never show mercy, and will get rid of Zabuza even under the pressure of the threat from the Akatsuki organization.

…………

Kirigakure Village was in chaos due to this war, and Lu Li had already left the range of Kirigakure Village and retreated with Loquat Juuzang.

"Mr. Lu, are you okay?"

Loquat Juuzang looked at Lu Li worriedly. He had watched the normal battle before, and Lu Li's fighting prowess exceeded his imagination.

It could be said that apart from the leader of the Akatsuki organization, this was the first time he had seen such a powerful ninja.

But one thing he didn't understand was, why did that junior Zabuza use the silent killing technique to seriously injure Lu Li?

At that time, he heard Lu Li's cry of pain in the thick fog. He had already entered the fog regardless of his serious injuries. However, Lu Li suddenly rushed out, took his arm and ran out.

"It's okay. Do you think I'm injured?"

Lu Li saw the confusion in Loquat Juuzang's eyes, and did not treat him as a fool. He directly turned on the immortal mode for a moment, and Loquat Juuzang understood instantly.

"Mr. Lu, were you acting just now? Were you following Zabuza and Kirigakure!?"

Loquat Juuzang came to a shocking conclusion in an instant, which was consistent with his previous guess.

"But the organization didn't let us do this!? Besides, Mr. Lu, you clearly had a chance to capture Yagura before, so why did you kill him directly? What if the leader blames you?"

Loquat Juzo knew that Pain had been waiting for this day for a long time, but once the Jinchuuriki died, it would take several years to wait for a new tailed beast to appear.

If Payne learns this news, he will definitely be furious. Thinking of this, he looked at Lu Li with a little more worry.

"Juzou, that's why I called your name. You are a smart person and you should be able to see that I don't really serve the Akatsuki organization."

Lu Li said, taking out the same shark muscle from the storage space and throwing it to Loquat Juuzang.

Loquat Juzo caught Samehada and was stunned for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on his face. He lost his decapitating sword back then and had been using ordinary ninja swords, which led to a serious decline in combat power.

Samehada's sword was a difficult sword to handle, but he could barely surrender, which was much better than an ordinary ninja sword.

After the joy passed, he looked at Lu Li in confusion, "Mr. Lu, this is your trophy. You came to save me, and I already owe you a lot. Why do you have the nerve to take this knife again?"

"It's useless for me to hold this sword. It's better to give it to someone who can unleash its power. Besides, what you just said is right. Zabuza and I teamed up to put on a show and helped him control Kirigakure Village."

Lu Li stopped and looked into Loquat Juuzang's eyes, "Juuzang, do you want to return to Kirigakure Village?"

Loquat Juuzang was stunned for a moment, "Can I go back?"

He was also forced to defect by the Mizukage back then, and he actually missed his hometown very much. When he heard Lu Li said that he wanted to destroy Kirigakure, he was nervous for a while, and he didn't know who to cheer for.

"Of course. As long as the plan goes well, Zabuza will soon be able to become the Mizukage. Your identity as a traitor will naturally be wiped out. However, I suggest you change your identity and go back. After all, the Akatsuki organization will not let go of people who leave the group at will. ”

Lu Li said that he felt that Zabuza was still short of manpower, and Loquat Juzo was a good guy who could supplement Kirigakure's combat power and help him rebuild Kirigakure's system.

Furthermore, Loquat Juuzang is very loyal. If he saves him and helps him return to Kirigakure Village, he will be grateful for his kindness and can become his other eye.

People's hearts changed over time, and it was difficult for him to say whether Zabuza would still listen to him after his position as Mizukage was firmly established, or whether he would make some small moves behind his back to affect his subsequent plans.

If Loquat Juzo goes to Kirigakure Village, he and Zabuza can supervise each other. He can obtain information from both sides and ensure the authenticity of the information.

"Mr. Lu... it is very dangerous for you to do these things. After knowing the truth, Payne will not let you go."

Loquat Juuzang now seriously suspects that Lu Li is actually a 'spy' of Konoha Village. He is not a free rebel at all and definitely has some hidden mission. Otherwise, there is no need for him to disrupt Pain's plan.

"Don't worry about me, just tell me if you want to go back?"

Lu Li asked again. Of course he knew that he had affected Nagato's plan. He had no intention of letting Yagura go. He wanted to capture Yagura, but he changed his mind in the end. The chain reaction caused was that Nagato would be suspected.

As for the little tricks he did in Kirigakure, it didn't matter. Nagato already knew that Kirigakure was under their control. He was now a member of Akatsuki, so it was okay for him to continue to control Kirigakure. As long as he could convince Nagato, this would turn a bad thing into a good thing.
