Chapter 132: Uncle Snake's Technology - There's Nothing Uncle Snake Can't Achieve
Although Yue Yan wasn't sure if Obito Uchiha was controlling the Fourth Mizukage (Yagura Karatachi), the fact that the Mist Ninja Village was still implementing the Bloody Mist Policy just like in the original scenario made it worth a visit for Yue Yan. This was also the main reason why Yue Yan accepted the mission from the Mist Ninja Village.
The reason why Yue Yan stopped Zabuza and Haku was to draw the attention of the Mist Ninja Village. After all, Zabuza had attempted to assassinate the Mizukage some time ago and was an important missing-nin on the run, while Haku was a ninja with a bloodline limit and a prime target for the Mist Ninja Village.
"You're right. Now that you mention it, I do feel something's off," Zabuza said, frowning as he recalled.
Although Yagura Karatachi had inherited the Third Mizukage's ideology of targeting bloodline - limit families, he hadn't been so reckless in his actions before. Now, Yagura gave Zabuza the impression that he was simply massacring bloodline - limit families just for the sake of massacring, completely disregarding the losses this would bring to the Mist Ninja Village.
However, apart from this change, Yagura's usual behavior, even some of his subconscious habits, remained the same. So, even his close confidants hadn't noticed anything amiss.
But if what Yue Yan said was true and Yagura was really being controlled, then everything made sense.
Suddenly realizing something, Zabuza stared at Yue Yan, his words laced with anger.
"It's been years, and right from the start, you want to use me and Haku as bait to draw their attention. That's a bit cold - hearted, isn't it?"
"You don't have to do anything. Besides, you want the Mist Ninja Village to be a better place, don't you?"
Upon hearing this, Zabuza fell silent. To tell the truth, he really wanted the Mist Ninja Village to get better. When he graduated, the reason he committed such cruelty by killing all his classmates was to prove to the village that this policy was wrong. But at that time, because of his limited ability and vision, he could only make such a brutal decision.
Zabuza took a deep breath and nodded.
"Okay, as long as you can convince Haku, I'll agree to your plan."
Just after Zabuza finished speaking, Haku shook his head.
"I'm Mr. Zabuza's tool. As long as Mr. Zabuza agrees, then I agree."
Looking at Haku, who was so earnest, Zabuza rubbed his temples in annoyance. When he saved Haku back then, he just said something off - hand. Since Zabuza was a blunt - spoken guy, he didn't know what else to say.
Noticing Zabuza fumbling for the right words to persuade Haku, Yue Yan stepped forward.
"Haku, come with me. I want to talk to you alone."
Hearing this, Haku glanced at Zabuza, seeking permission with his eyes. After getting the approval, Haku followed Yue Yan to the nearby courtyard.
"Lord Yue Yan, did you want to talk to me about something?"
Looking at Haku, who spoke in a soft voice, Yue Yan organized his thoughts in his mind. He decided to start by inquiring how Haku and Zabuza got acquainted.
After listening, Haku also began to slowly recount.
After being saved by Yue Yan back then, Akiko took the money given by Yue Yan and brought Haku to a village on the border of the Land of Water to settle down and start a new life.
However, not long after, both Akiko and Haku awakened the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai. They thought that as long as they hid it well and didn't use it in public, they could live in peace.
But after Yagura Karatachi took office, a large number of Mist Ninjas Anbu were sent to various places in the Land of Water to search for and exterminate ninjas with bloodline limits.
Moreover, after Zabuza's assassination attempt failed, by sheer coincidence, the direction he fled was the village where Akiko and Haku were.
Zabuza, known as the Demon of the Hidden Mist, was no match for ordinary Mist Ninjas Anbu. After Zabuza swung his blade and killed several of these Anbu, some of the seriously injured ones fled to the village where Akiko and Haku were. They planned to heal their wounds first before continuing the pursuit.
The Mist Ninja Village itself was not a village with simple and honest folk customs, and those who could enter the Anbu were even worse. They were all cold - blooded killers.
In addition, it was during the period of the Bloody Mist Policy. Even if one was not a ninja with a bloodline limit, as long as they failed to complete a mission within the specified time or the mission failed, they would be listed as missing - nin and punished or hunted.
Then one of the Anbu in this team, a so - called "genius", had an idea. He proposed to kill everyone in the village, bring back a few heads, and claim they were ninjas with bloodline limits. In this way, even if they failed to complete the mission of chasing Zabuza, they could make up for it. After all, there were so many fleeing ninjas with bloodline limits, and it was normal not to recognize a few of them.
The Anbu team, thinking that the person who made the proposal was quite reasonable, hit it off and started the massacre.
At that time, Zabuza thought that if these Anbu were allowed to go back, they would definitely send stronger people to chase him. So he decided to make a surprise attack and wipe them out, which could also buy him more time.
Then when Zabuza arrived, he saw this Anbu team attacking Akiko and Haku in a playful manner.
In the end, Zabuza swung his blade again and again, and finally killed all these Anbu.
Originally, Zabuza was about to leave after dealing with these Anbu. But Haku, who knew his own weakness, actively approached Zabuza and wanted to follow him.
At that time, seeing that Haku was just a child, Zabuza casually perfunctorily said that "if Haku could become his tool and obey all his orders", he would agree to Haku following him.
Then Haku agreed. After taking his Mother to a presumably safe village in the Land of Hot Water, Haku had been following Zabuza ever since.
After listening to Haku's account, Yue Yan didn't know what kind of expression to put on.
Damn, a hero saves the beauty and then falls in love at first sight. Unexpectedly, such a cheesy plot could actually happen.
Seeing the shy look on Haku's face every time he mentioned that Zabuza had saved him, Yue Yan's mind and reason began to struggle wildly.
Mind: So cute!
Reason: A guy!
Brain: A guy! And good-looking!
Reason: I don't want to turn gay, damn it!
Yue Yan slapped his forehead, forcing reason to take the upper hand. To be honest, although Yue Yan himself was very good-looking, he had a high-class face with a heroic air, different from Haku's delicate type. He hadn't noticed before, but when he saw the faint blush on Haku's face, Yue Yan really thought Haku was quite good-looking...
Yue Yan slapped his forehead again. He couldn't let his thoughts wander off anymore, or he might really turn gay.
Collecting his thoughts, Yue Yan directly asked, "Haku, do you like Zabuza?"
Haku was stunned by Yue Yan's direct question. Recalling Zabuza's tall and heroic figure when he blocked in front of him, his face blushed even more involuntarily. But in the face of Yue Yan, who was also his savior, he honestly nodded.
Seeing this, Yue Yan nodded and thought to himself that the cliché of a hero saving the beauty, though corny, still seemed to work.
"I can help you pursue Zabuza."
Hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed Haku's eyes. Then, thinking of something, his expression became a bit gloomy.
"But I..."
Knowing what Haku wanted to say, Yue Yan waved his hand.
"I know what you're worried about. It's not a Mondai. Even if you and Zabuza want a baby, I can help you solve it."
"Really, Lord Yue Yan?"
"Of course."
Yue Yan slapped his chest confidently, making a promise.
Come on, you can count on Uncle Snake's Technology. Whether it's changing a man into a woman or a woman into a man, not to mention having a baby. In the later stage, Uncle Snake can even make an individual have offspring. You can't even imagine what Uncle Snake can do.
