Ninja World Live: The Ninja Rabbit I Found Was Actually Kaguya

In the face of absolute strength, resistance was meaningless.

Zabuza was restrained by the current Mizukage candidate.

Terumi Mei made her stance very clear. Not only did she refuse to demand payment, she also arranged not to pursue Haku and even ordered the accounting of Gato's assets overnight.

In other words, they would bear the infamy.

Ordinarily, for a ninja to kill and rob would be a shameful thing.

But Kirigakure had already decayed. A bit more rot no longer mattered.

Zabuza was still a missing-nin after all.

So Terumi Mei felt no shame in this.

But she did have conditions.

She wanted to spare Zabuza's life and, after the mission, contact other defected ninjas to try and bring them back into the fold of Kirigakure.

Use what you have, that was her way.

"Are you serious?" Zabuza looked at the future Fifth Mizukage with suspicion.

Because Terumi Mei's approach was tantamount to rewriting the past. Recalling defectors and pardoning betrayals was unheard of.

"Dead serious," Terumi Mei replied without hesitation.

"First of all, your strength isn't on par with mine. You can't win."

"Second, in your group there's someone named Haku. He uses Ice Release."

"If things continue the way they are, his talents will be wasted."

"But back in Kirigakure, he can receive formal recognition and proper training."

"Ice Release has roots in our village, after all."

"And you must've noticed—his talent exceeds your own," she stated.

This information came from the two Kirigakure chunin who had been tricked into betraying their village. They'd spilled everything.

Terumi Mei had noted it all back then.

Now, it was a perfect bargaining chip.

"Tch…"

"Those two idiots gave away too much," Zabuza muttered in frustration.

And then his figure vanished.

He had silently accepted the terms.

Because…

He became a missing-nin due to the Blood Mist.

He took missions, saved money, and planned to raise an army to overthrow Kirigakure.

But now Terumi Mei had accomplished that goal.

What was the point of Zabuza's struggle anymore?

He had no choice but to concede.

After all…

That kid Haku always wanted to be useful to him…

But Haku's talents were wasted by his side.

Giving Haku a future was all Zabuza had left.

…

Everyone else turned to look at Terumi Mei.

Her confidence made her seem bashful for a moment.

"Kirigakure went through a long period of darkness. Most rebels probably just want to revive and redeem the village."

"People like Zabuza likely wanted to grow strong enough to challenge the village and prove themselves."

"As for me…"

"I took power by killing Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage."

"The Blood Mist era is over," Terumi Mei said calmly.

"…"

"Ah—this…"

Naruto's eyes widened.

He realized this beautiful blue-haired woman had literally killed her own Kage.

"This is called correcting the path," Terumi Mei said. "I have no regrets. If I hadn't done it, the village would've been doomed."

"So… if the Kage is wrong, then we need to correct them ourselves…" Sasuke murmured.

Then he added, "But you're discussing classified info like this. What if the client Dazna hears it…"

"…" He had a point.

After all, they had just discussed killing Gato and dividing the spoils.

That was technically a confession.

"Don't worry," Kitahara Hitoshi said, appearing from the trees.

Everyone turned to see that Dazna, under the tree, had long since fallen asleep.

Kitahara had knocked him out.

"…" Everyone was speechless.

Of course it was him.

Fifteen minutes later, the three-hour live group session ended.

The 'Younger Generation Chat Group' also closed.

Everyone set off for the Land of Waves.

They stayed at Dazna's home in a fishing village. With plenty of seafood, the Konoha group had a satisfying meal.

Then…

"Come on, eat more."

Terumi Mei peeled a shrimp for Kitahara Hitoshi.

He politely refused, but she peeled another.

"Sasuke, I'm so jealous…" Naruto said. "I want to peel shrimp for Kitahara-kun too to show my gratitude."

"I owe him so much. I don't even know how to repay him," Naruto said as he stuffed rice into his mouth.

"…" Sasuke said nothing.

He felt something was off with Naruto.

"…" Kakashi sighed.

He felt Terumi Mei's intentions were too obvious.

But with Tobirama-sensei not around to speak up and the chat group closed, Kakashi could only behave.

After all, he couldn't beat Terumi Mei.

And after being scolded so harshly by Tobirama earlier, Kakashi began to doubt himself.

Was his Sharingan, without Obito, just trash?

Was he destined to only reach the same level as Asuma?

He spiraled into a bit of an identity crisis.

The next morning…

News came in.

Zabuza returned with three scrolls. The mission was complete. The scrolls were exactly what Kitahara Hitoshi had requested.

"These are sealing scrolls," Kakashi confirmed.

That day's group session opened, and Minato's words had soothed Kakashi's nerves.

So he composed himself and began explaining.

"For ninjas, direct combat is the norm."

"Carrying too many weapons or luggage is inconvenient."

"So experts in sealing arts developed scrolls."

"Items can be sealed directly into them," Kakashi explained.

Then he moved to demonstrate.

"Release!"

Kakashi unfurled the scrolls and activated Unseal.

"Wait—"

Haku, wearing his mask, tried to stop him.

But it was too late.

Boom.

A flood of money filled the room. Even the windows burst open.

"…" Silence.

Children and Grandkids Chat Group:

Senju Hashirama: Incredible.

Senju Tobirama: Do merchants really have this much money?

Terumi Mei: Cardo wasn't just exploiting the Land of Waves. From the numbers I'm seeing, he exploited a lot more regions.

Namikaze Minato: But finally… my Naruto has money.

Minato focused only on his son.

As for Naruto…

"Wha…"

"So much… money…"

"Huh? This denomination…"

Naruto sat on the floor. A banknote fluttered into his hand.

He couldn't understand the number on it.

"That's ten thousand ryo," Sasuke said.

"Huh? Ten thousand?!" Naruto shouted.

Namikaze Minato: My poor boy. He's never even seen ten thousand before.
