Chapter 44: Do You Want to Experience the Power of God?
"Who the hell are you?"
Gato did not feel any sense of foreshadowing doom. Instead, he witnessed Izayoi's stubbornness now, pointed his finger at Izayoi, and yelled loudly, "What are the guys outside doing? They don't even know when outsiders come in. A bunch of trash."
Izayoi petted the lower jaw of his mask and exhaled, "It seems it's not something with the Hidden Mist Village. It's that these ninjas have been tamed by you guys and lost their bloodiness. That's why a missing-nin who can be an ace fighter of the five major ninja villages doesn't kill a rich man like you and steal your property, but earns money by hiring."
Eavesdropping on this, Zabuza Momochi furrowed his face and carelessly glanced at Gato subconsciously. He had no idea, but suddenly felt what Izayoi was trying to say made perfect sense.
"What. what are you talking about?"
Izayoi's words also jolted Gato awake, recalling that he was a mere human and in front of him were the ninjas with exceptional abilities, and those were still wanted missing-nin from the principal ninja villages.
Having this in mind, Gato was frightened out of his mind and took a step back. He then shouted at Zabuza Momochi, "Zabuza, I'll give you ten million ryo. Kill this man soon."
"Aren't you curious about how I got in?"
Izayoi raised his hand at Gato and burst out laughing, "I used. this."
Gato's body shot up in the air and flew at Izayoi in an instant.
Gato, having lost control of his body, was desperate and screamed, "Zabuza, save me!"
Whoosh—
Zabuza Momochi pushed Bai out of the way, charged up, spun around, and launched the executioner's blade.
The enormous executioner's blade, which looked like a Windmill Shuriken, whirled towards Gato with a rending sound in the air.
Yes, the executioner's blade was not hurled at Izayoi, but at Gato.
To be precise, he wanted to kill Gato and Izayoi at the same time.
"This man is my source of money. I can't have you execute him." Izayoi smiled and raised his second hand.
The next instant, the high-velocity spinning executioner's sword simply halted out of nowhere, as if air space around it had solidified, and hung suspended in the air.
Zabuza Momochi and Bai, both experiencing such a power for the very first time, were stunned and their pupils tightened.
"Someone is performing the title of god because he has power no one can resist."
One hand held down Gato's neck, five fingers of another hand were outstretched, and Izayoi smiled wickedly, "So, you'd like to know what god's power is like?"
Zabuza Momochi and Bai were not able to object before they saw Izayoi mutter the name of a technique in a low tone, as if saying "Shinra Tensei."
—"Boom!
The intangible push energy seemed to distort space, stripping away the colors from Zabuza Momochi and Bai, leaving their bodies the black and white of a manga, and finally getting engulfed by the white light.
There was a tremendous blast in the middle section of the Land of Waves.
Heavy dust and fog created a mushroom cloud that rose.
The majority of the residents were afraid when the explosion happened. Upon discovering that the location of the mushroom cloud was Gato's house, their faces showed an intense happiness.
People even folded their hands and did the praying sign in hopes that something had happened to Gato, hopefully that he perished in the explosion.
The mushroom cloud went by and shortly disappeared.
It was destroyed by the fake wind before reaching the summit.
The villa collapsed, and Izayoi floated in mid-air, holding on to Gato's collar at the back.
The Tenseigan under the mask merely glared at the ruins and stopped at one spot.
Then Izayoi moved his hand forward and waved it slowly.
The mass immediately drove aside the rubble, revealing Zabuza Momochi and Bai below them, their corpses buried beneath streams of blood, shattered bones, and heavy haemorrhages in their vital organs.
They lost their mind, but didn't lose their last breath.
"Shadow Clone Technique."
Izayoi dropped on to the ground floor, created a hand seal with one of her hands, and produced a shadow clone.
Having let the shadow clone deal with Zabuza Momochi and Bai so they wouldn't kill too easily, Izayoi slapped Gato's face, who was absolutely terrified and could not speak, and asked, "Is all your money in the safe in the basement?"
"Yes... yes."
Gato came to himself, as if he had grabbed the last straw, and shook his head repeatedly, "My money is all in the safe. I have money elsewhere, plenty of money. As long as you don't kill me, I'll give you all my money. don't kill me, please don't kill me!"
Finally, Gato was already crying, completely terrified.
It's not surprising that he would behave like this.
To the general population, ninjas are remote upper-ups.
But to daimyo, nobles, and rich people, ninjas are very useful gadgets.
After he got rich, ronin, rogue ninjas, and missing-nin were all Gato's gadgets.
As long as he was paying them, they would do whatever.
If they could manage to hire those missing-nin to do stuff for him, he would win.
If they died, it would cost him some money.
None of the rogue ninjas and missing-nin thought about his wealth.
Both Gato and such nobles unconsciously expected that ninjas would not be a traitor and would adhere to professional ethics.
Even Hidan, a missing-nin and a money-loving guy because he was money-loving as he loved his life, made money working and looking for targets in the black market, and never planned to plunder houses.
So, he didn't expect there would be someone like Izayoi who was insane and lacked professional ethics.
It was understandable that Gato was scared out of his mind when he encountered such a player for the very first time.
"There are other treasure troves?"
Izayoi jerked his eyebrows slightly, then poked at a certain acupoint on Gato's body with his finger, causing him to pass out.
"First, let's see how much money there is."
Having thrown Gato to the shadow clone, Izayoi raised his hands, released gravity, and countless rubble rose up.
Soon, a staircase that led down to the basement was before Izayoi's eyes.
Izayoi had already found the safe, or he would not have released the repulsive force so wildly.
However, as there was no light inside the safe, Izayoi had no idea how many objects were hidden in there.
Therefore, he did not kill Gato.
Izayoi entered the basement by using the stairs. In front of him stood a two-meter-high and wide safe.
This was a metal safe with a password-locked door.
Izayoi did not know the password, nor did he wake up Gato to ask him the password.
He stretched out his hand and shoved it against the door line, and then with a loud bang, the door and frame of the safe dented and fell at the same time.
Having mastered the repulsive force to bomb several times in succession, Izayoi removed the door of the safe.
The things inside the safe were shown before Izayoi at once.
Without the safe door's protection, blinding light reflected from it, enveloping Izayoi like a glow.
Izayoi sat his hands on his waist and stood in front of the safe.
If his mask of pure white were taken off, you could observe that Izayoi's Tenseigan was no longer there, and his eyes had only two big $ symbols.
He had hit the jackpot!
