DreamersGN Chapter 16: Go deal with his accomplices?
Chapter 16: Go deal with his accomplices?
Before Bai Mo enlightened everyone, everyone's thoughts were actually similar to Itachi's.
They believed that the Daimyo controlled the economy and the Kage controlled the military, and that the ninja village could not do without the Daimyo's support.
In reality, these so-called "big names" are just a bunch of bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong.
The Raikage of Kumogakure is powerful and often disregards the opinions of the Daimyo.
The weakness of the Kazekage of Sunagakure has led to repeated cuts in funding.
The daimyo of the Land of Fire is already quite powerful, but when faced with someone as strong as Danzo, he cowers like a pig.
When they meet someone as naive as Naruto, they start making friends.
When faced with someone like Shikamaru who lacks strength, influence, and reputation, he directly turns the tables and starts to arrogantly suppress them based on his status.
Therefore, Bai Mo's assessment was entirely correct. The daimyo system was a bad habit of the old era, and the daimyo were like bloodsucking insects clinging to the nation.
If Bai Mo's words were heard by the people of the five great ninja villages, even the Hidden Cloud Village, which had a bad relationship with the daimyo, would regard Bai Mo's words as outrageous.
However, he is now surrounded by rogue ninjas, and his mind is not bound.
"No problem. Zabuza, you are indeed more suitable to go with Kisame to assassinate the daimyo. Anyway, you have already assassinated the Mizukage, so one more crime won't make a difference."
This will save you from having to use the Executioner's Blade to slap the Tailed Beast Ball like the previous owner did.
Bai Mo confirmed Zabuza's words, but...
"You really have a sharp tongue. By the way, is that how Juzo died? He really had guts."
Zabuza's lips twitched.
Using a knife to strike a Tailed Beast Ball—what kind of terrifying move is that?
"Juzo Biwa was my previous comrade. We faced the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, and he died there."
Itachi Uchiha interjected.
Mentioning Juzo brought back memories for Itachi.
It was during that operation that Itachi awakened and mastered Amaterasu.
~
We arrived at the Wave Country Bridge.
Kado and his large group of mercenaries had been lying in ambush here for some time.
"This guy probably wants to see me and the escorting ninja both get injured, and then he's waiting here to kill me."
"If Kisame and the others hadn't shown up, he might have actually succeeded, that bastard!"
Zabuza saw what was happening on the bridge and grinned.
"Zabuza-san, you're injured. Leave it to me."
Bai raised the hand holding three senbon needles and took a step forward.
"Bai's strength is more than enough to deal with these trash, you see..."
Zabuza looked at Bai Mo and the others.
"Let me give it a try. After all, I'm still a pure and innocent boy who has never killed anyone before."
Bai Mo shook his head.
"Oh? Then we do need to test our skills against some enemies who pose no threat."
Kisame was surprised for a moment upon hearing this, then expressed his agreement.
"Since no killings have been committed, it seems the ninja world may be about to enjoy a period of considerable peace."
Uchiha Itachi smiled slightly.
"It could also be because they're simply not qualified to fight real enemies. Even as shadows, they're just meat on a chopping block; they can barely injure the enemy, let alone kill them."
Bai Mo refuted Itachi's statement.
The peace that occurred less than twenty years after the Naruto-Sasuke war in the original timeline was a peace that came at a price.
The two deliberately concealed the threat posed by the Otsutsuki clan, which allowed the ninja world to relax temporarily.
The price was that twenty years later, the Otsutsuki attacked, and the ninja world was completely unprepared.
This was mainly because the two of them were overconfident and did not understand the true strength of the Otsutsuki.
The ninja world may seem to be experiencing rapid technological advancements, developing various scientific ninja tools and the like, but in reality, it is still being suppressed.
Orochimaru's research was subject to Konoha's surveillance and review, while Kabuto Yakushi simply became the director of an orphanage.
The two top scientific researchers have been restricted.
Speaking of the future Yakushi Kabuto.
He was one of the few people Bai Mo knew in Konoha back then.
"Would you like to borrow my knife?"
Zabuza asked.
"No need. I'm not like you. I'm not a bloodthirsty person."
Bai Mo refused.
Zabuza laughed, but before he could say anything, he realized that Bai Mo was gone.
Turning around, I saw that the mercenary squad led by Kado was in complete chaos.
Bai Mo appeared behind Kado without anyone noticing, punched Kado through the chest, and then threw him to the ground like trash.
"This is what you call not being bloodthirsty? This is his first time killing someone?"
Zabuza was speechless.
Even though he came from the Village of Blood Mist, he wasn't this decisive and cruel when he killed for the first time.
Although he killed all his classmates, including his teammates, during his ninja graduation exam when he was 9 years old, it wasn't the first time he had killed someone.
His first time was as simple as slitting his own throat.
But thinking about it carefully, it's not too strange.
Even if you haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run?
Bai Mo only said he had never killed anyone, but he didn't say he had never seen anyone die.
As for Itachi's talk of "peace in the ninja world," Zabuza didn't understand it.
"So it really is an amplification like Sage Chakra?"
After seeing Bai Mo pierce through Gato with a single punch, Itachi Uchiha's previous guess was confirmed once again.
He had learned from some Uchiha records that the most obvious characteristic of cultivating Sage Mode was increased power.
In addition, their perception abilities have become stronger, but this is something that others cannot discern with the naked eye.
And their appearance should also change.
Itachi had previously denied his own idea, which was that he felt that Bai Mo's situation differed significantly from the Sage Mode described in the records.
The appearance remains unchanged, and there seems to be no concept of "duration".
But now, Bai Mo's punch confirmed Itachi's suspicions.
Bai Mo was not as cruel and bloodthirsty as Zabuza thought.
It's likely that Bai Mo just wanted to test his strength, but he underestimated it, which led to this situation.
"Everyone, I'm sorry, I don't know any ninjutsu, so please bear with the pain."
With a few words, Bai Mo dealt with two more wandering ninjas.
The two wandering samurai exchanged a glance and, believing they had no blind spots, unleashed a slash at Bai Mo. Suddenly, they realized they had finished slashing, but hadn't hit anything.
The next second, the two wandering samurai were hit in the forehead by two shuriken thrown from a distance.
It wasn't Bai Moqian's doing, but rather their fellow mercenaries who accidentally injured their comrade.
"Damn it, this guy's too tough. Ignore him, deal with his accomplices!"
A wandering ninja suddenly shouted.
After the others realized what was happening, some of them thought that since Kado was already dead, why should they risk their lives? So they secretly slipped away.
The rest rushed towards Itachi and Kisame.
"Well……"
Standing alone in the empty space, Bai Mo was completely stunned.
These people are really tired of living.
Although he also dominates here, he is not very efficient at resolving the situation.
As long as they're not bots, they can simply escape once they realize there are too many dead people.
If these people just rush in that direction, won't that mean we're doomed?
"Water Release: Water Shark Bullet Technique!"
A giant shark formed by the current leaped out of the water under the bridge, swallowed the charging ninja samurai whole, and fell back into the water with blood and debris.
It fell silent instantly.
