Chapter 183 Zabuza: An Ominous Premonition
"Okay, come with me."
Kakashi led Zabuza and Haku to a training ground, where they could hear shouts from afar.
"Might Guy sense, this is youth!"
"Oh! Lee, let's burn with our youth!"
Kakashi paused for a moment, but then he thought that as long as he handed Zabuza and Haku over to Guy, he could live a peaceful life for a while, so he started walking again.
Although Zabuza was puzzled by Kakashi's pause, he still followed him.
"Hey, Mr. Might Guy, can we take a break for a while?"
Tenten wiped the sweat from his brow and said to Guy, who was running upside down.
"Tenten, youth doesn't allow for slacking off.
But proper relaxation is also part of youth, so go and rest!"
Guy knew that Tenten's physical abilities were not as good as Neji's and Rock Lee's, so he wasn't very strict with Tenten's training.
"Yay, thank you, Teacher Guy."
Tenten breathed a long sigh of relief, then took out a bottle of beverage and started drinking.
Neji, who was standing next to him, was wearing his own white training clothes, but he was doing the same training as Guy and Lee.
"Wait, I smell my best friend's scent!"
Guy's eyes lit up, and he landed precisely with a backflip before running off the training field.
"So who's in charge of monitoring us?
That Guy?"
Kakashi scratched his head and said in a slightly strange tone, "Well, it's not really surveillance.
After all, Guy is just watching you at most."
Zabuza stared at Kakashi speechlessly.
Wasn't what he said just surveillance?
Kakashi shrugged.
Why did he say it wasn't surveillance?
Because he felt that Guy's surveillance didn't really count as surveillance; at most, he just had a green jumpsuit man by his side.
"Ah! My dearest friend and lifelong enemy!
Kakashi! Let's begin our battle!"
Guy immediately launched a Leaf Whirlwind attack, charging towards Zabuza and Kakashi.
Zabuza's pupils contracted when he saw the green jumpsuit man appear before him, and he quickly shielded Kakashi in front of him.
Kakashi pursed his lips helplessly, then used his arm to block Guy's Leaf Whirlwind, before saying to the excited kappa, "Yo, Guy, the Hokage has a mission for you."
Guy, who was originally planning to duel Kakashi, stopped and his expression turned serious, completely different from before.
"I see. So what kind of mission is it?"
Tenten, who was resting nearby, had already come over to observe Kakashi and the two strangers beside him.
Hmm, that uncle looks really fierce, but that young lady is super pretty.
No, I have to be careful, lest Neji be snatched away by her.
"It's not a big mission, just to keep an eye on these two before communicating with Kirigakure."
Kakashi pointed at Zabuza and Haku, and said to Guy.
"Oh, I see. Okay, I understand."
Guy's expression relaxed.
He thought he was going to open the Eight Gates to fight the Tailed Beasts, but it turned out to be such a small matter.
"Leave it to me!"
He patted his chest, the sound of his muscles pounding echoing, showing his great confidence in completing the task.
"Um, my name is Might Guy.
What are your names?"
Guy turned to look at Zabuza, who was looking down and deep in thought, and Haku, who was curiously examining him.
He revealed his white teeth and asked.
"Zabuza, that guy is White."
Zabuza raised his head and said coldly to Guy.
"Oh, I see. You're Zabuza Momochi, the one who defected from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."
Guy nodded. Zabuza's reputation was still considerable.
After all, Kirigakure had closed itself off after the Third Shinobi World War, and Konoha only learned that the Fifth Mizukage had been replaced by an ANBU infiltrator.
However, Zabuza was different.
As a rogue ninja who had defected from Kirigakure for some time, Zabuza's information had already spread throughout the ninja world.
Furthermore, he once held a high-ranking position in Kirigakure, so his information carries considerable weight in the ninja world.
"...No, that's not true."
Zabuza was silent for a moment, then spoke.
"But you don't need to know those things."
"Zabuza-sama..."
Haku saw Zabuza's mood worsen and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start.
"Hey, young man!
You look really lost!"
Guy looked into Zabuza's eyes and said to him.
"You should know that there is no regret in youth.
No matter what you have done or what mistakes you have made, they are all things you have done."
"To deny one's past is to deny one's youth."
"That kind of youth isn't passionate!"
Zabuza trembled, not because he was moved by Guy's words, but simply because he was embarrassed.
I'm almost middle-aged, and you're calling me a young teenager?
Zabuza looked at Kakashi with a questioning gaze, only to receive a "good luck" look from Kakashi.
"Okay, then I'll leave them to you.
I need to go to the mission hall to turn in the mission, so I'll be going now."
Kakashi patted Guy on the shoulder, then left without looking back.
Tenten, who overheard the whole thing, thought: "Kakashi-sensei definitely wants to use these two to keep Guy-sensei occupied so he can have a few days of peace and quiet!!!"
But are these two prisoners?
I didn't expect that Naruto and his group would capture one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist so soon after starting their mission.
Sigh, what can you do when their whole class is full of weirdos?
Tenten turned to look at Neji, who was still training hard, and smiled helplessly.
Well, with Neji's talent and hard work, he's no worse than them.
Even if he's not good enough, Neji is still Neji.
"So, where are we staying tonight?"
Zabuza, without any regard for Guy's youthful pronouncements, realized that if he followed this kappa's train of thought, he would be led astray into a ditch.
Perhaps in a normal theoretical context, one's own intelligence could overwhelm his, but he would lower his own intelligence to the same level as his, and then use his rich experience to defeat one's opponent.
At least for now, that's Zabuza's impression of Guy.
"Don't worry, my house is big enough for you to live in."
Guy flashed his white teeth at Zabuza, then gave him a thumbs up.
He's done this kind of thing before; those he's seen before have all deeply felt the passion of youth.
Every time they left, they were moved to tears.
Ah, youth!
Zabuza nodded.
As long as there was a place to stay, he would think of a way to keep Haku in Konoha.
I might have to go find Kakashi then.
