Ficool

Chapter 128 - Chapter 129: Ninja Hunt

After searching the system, Roy found a suitable target.

World: Naruto

Level: LV.2 ~ LV.4

Context: Zabuza Momochi and Haku, hired by the businessman Gato, are preparing to assassinate Tazuna.

Primary Mission: Slay Zabuza Momochi. Reward: 1000 Stat Points, Executioner's Blade!

Side Mission: Slay Haku. Reward: 900 Stat Points!

Note: Completing both triggers a Silver Chest.

Roy studied the targets. Though the cap was Level 4, he felt he could handle it alone. He didn't want to rely on Lyu for everything; a man protected like a baby wouldn't truly grow.

He transferred to the Land of Waves and blended into the crowd. His target was Zabuza, but fighting him and Haku at full strength was a suicide mission. He decided to approach through Gato. Information was his greatest weapon.

"Kid, this isn't for you. Get lost!" Two thugs at Gato's headquarters barked at Roy. Roy ignored them and kept walking. One swung a club at his head, but Roy dodged and kicked him through a wall.

Recognizing a threat, a dozen more thugs rushed out. Minutes later, Gato stepped out of his office to find his elite guards piled in a mountain, with a sixteen-year-old boy sitting on top.

"Who are you?" Gato growled. "I'm looking for work as a bodyguard," Roy said simply. Gato's eyes lit up. "Starting today, you're hired!"

Roy smirked. He knew Zabuza would be defeated by Kakashi and the 7th Team, only to escape through Haku's "fake death" technique. Zabuza would need a week to recover. That was Roy's window.

Five days later, Gato summoned him. "Roy, come with me! That ninja failed to kill a simple old man. If he's disrespectful, kill him!"

Here it is. Roy followed Gato to a secret base in the forest where a wounded Zabuza was resting. They burst into the room. A young man lay on a bed, his face wrapped in bandages below the eyes, a rogue forehead protector tied to his head.A boy with long black hair and a face as delicate as a young girl's sat by the bed, tending to the patient with care. As Gato and his men burst in, the cold gazes of both Zabuza and Haku shifted toward them.

Roy blended into the crowd of thugs, suppressing his aura to the absolute limit to avoid being noticed.

"So much for the elite Mist assassins. Can't even kill a commoner and a few brats. The 'Demon of the Mist' title is a joke," Gato taunted, leading the provocation.

Zabuza and Haku remained silent. They couldn't argue; the mission had indeed been a failure. Gato walked forward, reaching out to grab Zabuza. "Say something, Mr. Demon—"

Haku was faster. He grabbed Gato's wrist, his voice like ice. "Do not touch Master Zabuza with your filthy hands!"

Crack! Zabuza was Haku's reason for living; he would allow no one to harm him. The force Haku applied caused a sickening crunch in Gato's wrist. Gato's face contorted in agony. "Kill them! Kill them both!"

Two samurai guards drew their blades. With a Body Flicker, Haku appeared between them, catching both their wrists. The samurai were stunned—his speed was incredible.

Zabuza let out a cold snort. Beneath the covers, his hand clutched a kunai. The moment Gato touched him, the man was as good as dead. In a way, Haku's intervention had saved the fool's life; the boy was still too kind. Zabuza closed his eyes to rest, trusting Haku to handle the trash while he pondered how to deal with Kakashi Hatake.

But in that exact moment, Roy moved.

Haku had left Zabuza's side, leaving the heavily injured "Demon" completely unprotected. In Haku's eyes, the boy Gato brought along was just a filler thug—no threat at all.

[Wind Chaser!]

Roy activated his boots. Wind swirled around his legs as he lunged, his explosive footwork shattering the wooden floorboards. In a blur of wood splinters, he reached the bed. Golden lightning manifested in his palm, shaping into a longsword. The sharp edge descended, severing Zabuza Momochi's neck in one clean strike.
