"Hmph, kid, you don't even know the situation of these two beside you."
Zabuza glanced at Haku, who was silent beside him, and sneered.
"Two years ago, they already did something that hardly anyone in the Ninja World dared to do..."
"Alright, now is not the time to talk about these things."
Kakashi raised an eyebrow and interrupted Zabuza, and Takemi also nodded.
"Actually, I didn't expect you to still come and work for Gato."
"It's just for money. My dream is not something you can understand."
Zabuza craned his neck. Although he was uncomfortable all over, he remained tough.
"What are you planning to do now, kill us?Konoha and Kirigakure have a good relationship, which is ironic. After fighting for so many years, their relationship can become like this..."
"Zabuza-sama. "
Haku couldn't remain silent now. He spoke worriedly, but Takemi shook his head.
"If I wanted to kill you, you would have died long ago. Actually, there's one thing I don't understand."
"What?"
Zabuza frowned, while Takemi asked with a laugh, "Your ability is so great, why would you think of working for Gato?"
"What do you mean?"
"If I were you, I'd take Gato out. Wouldn't you then be able to take all of Gato's money?"
"..."
"And didn't you rebel in Kirigakure? So you must think you can do better than the Mizukage. Trying your hand in the Land of Waves isn't a bad idea."
"Hiss..."
Zabuza gasped, raising his head in disbelief to look at the equally dumbfounded Kakashi.
"You Konoha... teach your students like this?"
"No, he just has an extreme personality..."
Kakashi quickly held Takemi down, not letting him spout nonsense.
"Don't say such unreliable things, Takemi, no more!"
"Oh."
Takemi nodded disappointedly, but he didn't care.
"How about this, Jiraiya-sama let you go two years ago, and now I can let you go too, but you should know the procedure."
"Procedure..."
Zabuza's eyes flickered, he seemed to understand a little.
"Your goal..."
"That's right."
Takemi also stopped pretending, and Kakashi didn't stop him this time. It wouldn't be good to stop something that had been talked about for two years.
And he also understood what Takemi meant. If Konoha couldn't do it, wouldn't it be good to let these rogue Ninja do it?
"Besides that, there's one more thing..."
Takemi stood up. He suddenly pulled out a kunai and threw it down. The kunai landed right in front of Zabuza and Haku.
"Kid, what do you mean?"
Looking at the kunai, Zabuza and Haku were a bit confused, but Takemi smiled and said, "When doing such things, the fewer people who know, the better. And you are Kirigakure rogue Ninja, which will affect the relationship between Konoha and Kirigakure, so..."
"Sorry, only one of you can leave today. You also aspire to become the Mizukage, don't you? So you understand what I'm doing, right?"
"Hey, Takemi..."
This scene scared Sasuke and Naruto, not to mention Tazuna, who had already been threatened by Takemi.
"Quiet, don't disturb Takemi, he has his own ideas."
Kakashi, however, stopped the youngsters. Having spent these years with Takemi, he knew his personality.
Although he had a bad personality, he was definitely not a bad person. There must be a reason for what he was doing.
"You—"
Zabuza clenched his teeth, but Takemi continued indifferently, "I remember you said he was just your tool. Is it that hard to abandon a necessary tool to become the Mizukage?"
Did I say that?
Zabuza wasn't sure, but he did think that way, it's just that...
However, Haku now showed a smile and said, "Zabuza-sama, if it weren't for you, I would have frozen to my death in that snow more than ten years ago. I am honored to be your tool."
"Haku..."
Zabuza murmured, but Haku had already picked up the kunai, placed it in his hand, and slowly aimed the kunai at his own throat.
"As a tool, I am willing to give everything for Zabuza-sama!"
Haku's face showed a sincere smile, but this smile made Zabuza tremble all over.
For some reason, he felt as if he couldn't exert any strength at all, and something inside him seemed to be shattering.
"Takemi, what in the world are you doing, you bastard!"
Naruto couldn't hold back anymore. If Kakashi hadn't held his head down, he probably would have rushed forward recklessly.
Sasuke and Sakura were both silent, finding it difficult to understand, but Takemi completely ignored them.
"Goodbye, Zabuza-sama, you must fulfill your dream..."
Haku's tender hands suddenly exerted force, pulling Zabuza's hand to stab his own throat.
However...
The kunai didn't move an inch.
"Zabuza-sama?"
Haku was full of surprise, but Zabuza withdrew his hand and spoke in a low voice, "It's enough, it's enough."
What was enough, he couldn't say, but he seemed to have understood something.
But at this moment, he suddenly glared fiercely at Takemi, raising the kunai in his hand.
"If you want to kill us, don't come up with such reasons and excuses, you—"
"You've already proven that you're not material to be the Mizukage."
However, Takemi laughed at this moment. He crossed his arms and spoke calmly. "But, have you also found what you were looking for?"
"...Bastard."
The kunai in Zabuza's hand trembled slightly. The seemingly light kunai felt as heavy as a thousand pounds at this moment.
"Life actually has many meanings. Instead of fantasizing about some unrealistic things, look at the people around you."
Takemi turned and walked towards Kisame. At the same time, he slowly said, "Go deal with Gato. We won't know the rest. We'll also wish you don't get as unlucky as you are now."
"You—"
"Also, this kunai is for you. Consider it a testament."
Zabuza didn't speak, he only stared blankly at Takemi's back with Haku. At this moment, they were filled with mixed emotions.
"Eh eh eh?"
Naruto seemed to have realized something now. Although he didn't quite understand, he felt that Takemi had done something good.
Sasuke and Sakura felt the same. They just thought Takemi looked amazing now. Only Kakashi smiled and pulled out Icha Icha Paradise.
The little ones weren't clear about Haku and Zabuza, but how could Kakashi, who had participated in the Kirigakure operation two years ago, not be clear?
"Takemi has always been very kind." He looked at the book in his hand and murmured.
"Oh, I forgot one thing."
But at this moment, Takemi suddenly turned to look at Zabuza.
"If possible, could you help me deal with this old man's entire family?"
"Hiss..."
"He tricked us, but he's my employer, so it's not good for me to act."
"..."
"And he kept saying how miserable his whole family was. I'm kind-hearted, I don't want his whole family to suffer anymore."
"..."
"So, can you help me?"
"..."
Zabuza and Haku were dumbfounded, Tazuna slumped to the ground, and the three youngsters were scared silly.
Only Kakashi covered his forehead, regretting that he had spoken too soon.
