Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Chapter 169 Robbing Kado

The current state of the Land of Waves is fundamentally caused by Gato's personal actions.

He set his sights on the Land of Waves, wanting to completely control it and then use its geographical advantages to develop his shipping company.

But killing alone could not allow him to truly control the Land of Waves, so he monopolized the maritime trade routes between the Land of Waves and the outside world.

For an island nation like the Land of Waves, controlling maritime traffic means controlling the country's wealth, politics, and people—everything.

Finally, by finding suitable pretexts to brutally kill troublemakers, he can further suppress the rebellious spirit of the country's residents.

Over the years, he has also secretly used the mafia and ninjas to smuggle drugs and contraband, and he has also attempted to seize other companies and countries.

In short, he was indeed a villain who committed all sorts of evil deeds and deserved to die.

But this also means...

If Gato is eliminated, the current situation in the Land of Waves can be greatly improved.

So, on a dark and stormy night, a figure quietly entered the Kado Company.

"who?"

"it's me!"

From the darkness, a figure carrying a decapitation sword emerged.

"Zabuza?! Weren't you dead?"

In addition to his business staff, Kado's shipping company also recruited a bunch of rogue ninjas, outlaw ninjas, and wandering samurai.

Their official profession is security personnel, but in reality they are the private armed forces of the Kado Company.

Although their skill levels vary, they are sufficient to deal with ordinary people.

These are the key figures who helped Kado smuggle contraband and traffic drugs.

They originally planned to go up the bridge and kill those people today, but that blond kid's aura was too terrifying, so they simply gave up.

They just want money, not their lives. If they have to risk their lives for money, it's not worth it.

"Hmph! That was just a smokescreen."

"Call Kado here."

This Zabuza is not the real Zabuza, but rather Shirakumo Aoba in disguise.

Although he also had the idea of ​​upholding justice, his main purpose was to rob Kado of a sum of money.

He weighed the blood-stained cloth bag in his hand and said coldly, "I've brought Tazuna's head over; he needs to see it himself."

"Tsk, I get it."

"What's so great about a mere rogue ninja?"

The henchman muttered something and turned to walk towards Kado's office.

A short while later, the short, dressed in a suit and sunglasses, named Cardo, walked over, surrounded by dozens of security personnel and leaning on a cane.

He was walking along, stroking his mustache.

"Wow, as expected of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, they're so reliable!"

He had originally planned to wait until the Konoha ninjas left before hiring others to continue assassinating Tazuna.

I never expected Zabuza to succeed.

However, he wasn't without his doubts about the person's identity, but he knew once Tazna's identity was verified.

As for the other party attacking him, he has dozens of people around him, how could they not handle one?

As an ordinary person, he lacked a clear understanding of top-tier ninjas.

I felt that with just a few dozen people, each of them could easily turn Zabuza into mincemeat.

"The person has been dealt with, give me my payment!"

Baiyun Qingye's tone sounded very impatient.

Kado still had a smiling face. "Please wait a moment. Once your identity is verified, the 500,000 taels will be handed over to you immediately!"

Five hundred thousand taels...

Baiyun Qingye's lips twitched involuntarily.

So, just for 500,000 ryo, Zabuza went straight to cause trouble for Kakashi?

Even if you remove the two swords, Asuma still has over ten million.

Kakashi, the strongest Jonin in Konoha, is only worth 500,000 ryo? That's a bit too stingy...

As soon as Kado finished speaking, one of his men stepped forward to take the cloth bag from his hands.

The moment he got his hands on it, the man's expression changed drastically.

"This is fake!"

The cloth bag in his hand fell to the ground with a dull thud.

It's obviously not normal.

The sudden anomaly caused all of the dozens of people around Kado to surround the other party.

Kado immediately shielded everyone in front of him.

Standing at the back of the crowd, he warily watched Zabuza in front of him.

"Zabuza, what are you trying to do? If you dare to lay a hand on your employer, you'll find no place in either the underworld or the legitimate world!"

Bai Yun Qingye merely sneered and formed hand seals in front of him.

"I'll retire from this life after I've pulled off this job!"

"Water Release: Big Explosive Water Wave!"

A large amount of water, like ocean waves, suddenly gushed from his mouth.

Then, in an instant, a huge ellipsoidal water prison was formed, imprisoning Kado and all the armed personnel he brought inside.

This ninjutsu was taught to him by Tsunade. And it wasn't just this one; Tsunade gave him most of the water-style techniques left behind by Tobirama Senju.

Unlike the Book of Seals, which belonged to the village, the Water Release techniques developed by Tobirama Senju belonged to the Senju clan, and Tsunade could give them to whomever she wanted.

In an instant, everyone around was enveloped by an oval-shaped water sphere.

Looking at Kado, who was unable to move in the water sphere, and his men.

Bai Yunqingye flashed and took Kado out, leaving the others to fend for themselves inside the water sphere.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

As soon as he was free from the feeling of suffocation, Kado immediately began to cough violently.

Looking at Zabuza standing in front of him, carrying the Executioner's Blade, his body began to tremble.

"No, don't kill me!"

"I'll give you anything you want! Money, women, or children—whatever you desire, I can get it for you!"

"I'll do anything you ask, as long as you don't kill me!"

"stand up!"

Baiyun Qingye held the broadsword to his neck.

Kado immediately stood up, his legs trembling, as he forced himself to stand up despite his fear.

Bai Yunqingye continued in a cold voice.

How much money can you come up with right now?

"Ten million taels! I can give you ten million taels right now!"

Kado answered without hesitation.

Bai Yunqingye frowned, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes, and pressed his broadsword down slightly.

"Looks like you're not being honest!"

Kado immediately swallowed hard. "Twenty...twenty million, twenty million is my limit!"

Baiyun Qingye was too lazy to waste any more words.

"The Enchanted Technique: The Abyss's Appearance!"

Kado's expression gradually turned foolish and terrified.

How much money can you come up with right now?

"I have 5000 million taels of cash! And some treasures I've collected; if I sold them all, I should be able to get another 5000 million taels!"

Baiyun Qingye then asked, "Is there anything else?"

"This is all my assets. If I want more, I'll have to sell the company's assets, but that will take a long time."

"Sell the company..."

Baiyun Qingye touched his chin.

Cado's shipping company is so large that there's no rush to sell it.

Why not let Tsunade find a way to take over the company and abandon the drug and contraband business? Such a large company is very profitable in other areas as well.

However, there's also the Hidden Mist Village nearby...

Forget it, if we can't take it over by then, we can always find a way to resell it.

Anyway, once he becomes Hokage, the money will just be a matter of moving from one hand to the other.

Give me all your money first!

……

Shirokumo Aoba used the live slug to contact Tsunade and reported the specific situation in the Land of Waves to her.

Faced with such enormous profits, Tsunade immediately dispatched the Anbu!
