Mei Terumi seized the Snow Clan orphan's weakness and said, "I'll rescue Momochi Zabuza for you, but will there be a reward?"
"Seven thousand reward points."
Haku, whose appearance was as delicate as a young girl but was actually a boy, said without hesitation, "These are all the reward points I have. You can have them all."
She was in a state of desperation, willing to try anything.
The situation in Wave Country was urgent, and even if she didn't know the woman's background, it wouldn't hurt to try her luck.
Since the Reincarnation Game appeared, Gato of Wave Country had begun to frantically accumulate wealth and exploit commoners to obtain reward points.
His tyranny was even worse than the Land of Water during the Bloody Mist period.
Gato's madness brought back uncomfortable memories for Momochi Zabuza, who was unwilling to continue serving him. He originally intended to leave Wave Country directly but was branded a traitor and hunted down.
He hadn't initially paid much attention to Gato, who wasn't even a ninja, but he hadn't expected the other party, now a player, to unleash terrifying strength surpassing an ordinary Jonin, ambush Momochi Zabuza, and imprison him in a dungeon.
To rescue Zabuza, Haku collaborated with the oppressed people of Wave Country, engaging in guerrilla warfare in the forests and at sea, hoping to defeat Gato.
"I don't lack reward points."
Mei Terumi's eyes shifted.
It was false that she didn't lack reward points. After the Mist Hidden Family was founded, to build material workshops and collect materials for synthesizing high-quality hearts, she, as the clan leader and Mizukage, was almost dirt poor.
However, the value of the Ice Release Bloodline far exceeded seven thousand reward points, so she certainly wouldn't be swayed by trivial gains.
"Are you trying to die?"
The wandering samurai, full of anger, shouted, "Tazuna and Haku are both wanted criminals by the Wave Country Shipping Company! Do you dare to hire them? Aren't you afraid of President Gato's wrath?"
Mei Terumi didn't even lift an eyelid and said strangely, "Do Merchants also have the right to hunt down ninjas?"
"Akayuki."
Akayuki Hozuki, whose name was called, understood. He grinned sinisterly and then walked towards the area outside the Dead Soul Camp teleportation array, where the guarding wandering samurai were.
The samurai leader sneered, "Are you sending your subordinate to his death?"
The samurai guarding Tazuna, the bridge builder, were all capable operatives of the Wave Country Shipping Company.
There were seven of them in total.
All were expert players wearing level 10 green armor sets and accessory sets, wielding a level 10 green weapon.
Furthermore, all of them had mastered a green-quality level 10 skill.
Akayuki Hozuki, with his pale skin, looking like a sickly person, could be sent back to town instantly.
The samurai leader's gaze lingered on Mei Terumi.
Her alluring figure, perfect appearance, and noble, high-and-mighty demeanor.
If this were reality, he would definitely torment such a noble woman if he encountered her.
"Kill him."
Upon hearing the samurai leader's command, all the wandering samurai sprang into action.
Streaks of sword light tore through the air, creating whooshing sounds.
However,
Akayuki Hozuki showed no panic; instead, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face.
He raised his arm, drew the level 15 purple Claymore from his waist, and, using his whole body, swung it forward.
Ghost Slash!
A chilling, sinister, almost ghostly evil energy gathered on the Claymore's blade and then surged forth.
A skill from the Arad Continent, where swordsmen tormented by the Ghost Hand comprehended the power of the Ghost God in their pain and struggle.
The huge purplish-black slash,
like a demon, tore through the eight sword shadows, giving no chance to react, instantly engulfing these wandering samurai.
Only the samurai leader remained, his face blank with shock.
Mei Terumi nodded in satisfaction, looking at the Snow Clan orphan and the life player Tazuna.
Players couldn't be killed in the game; they could only lose some reward points.
She did this to demonstrate her ability to fulfill her promise to the two.
"You… just wait!"
The samurai leader scurried away, trying to leave. He had already bypassed Akayuki Hozuki but was still caught and cut down.
Haku rationally asked, "Why are you helping us?"
Whether it was the real-world Wave Country Shipping Company or the in-game [Wave Country Tycoon], both were well-known big shots.
Although the life player Tazuna was valuable,
even the Four Great Ninja Villages were unwilling to antagonize a Ninja World tycoon; it was a completely unprofitable deal.
Mei Terumi raised her arm, her slender, fair fingers gently resting on Haku's forehead.
To be precise,
it was on the Kirigakure iron forehead protector.
Mei Terumi smiled brightly and said, "Since you wear the Kirigakure forehead protector, shouldn't the Fifth Mizukage protect Kirigakure ninjas?"
"You are… the Mizukage!"
Haku looked surprised, his body stiffening as he took a step back.
Mr. Zabuza was a notorious rogue ninja who had once attempted to assassinate the Mizukage. She was a tool following Mr. Zabuza, which meant she shared a common enemy with Zabuza.
Seeing Haku's reaction, Mei Terumi sighed and said, "Don't worry, Kirigakure has been completely revitalized. You must have noticed that the pursuit squads haven't appeared for a long time."
Momochi Zabuza and Haku fled to Wave Country partly because of the endless pursuit by Kirigakure Anbu.
Hearing this, and recalling recent intelligence about Kirigakure, Haku slightly relaxed.
Mei Terumi said with a serious expression, "The Kirigakure rogue ninja list has been personally revised by me and the Elder. Some rogue ninjas have been removed. Momochi Zabuza is no longer a rogue ninja and can return to Hidden Mist Village at any time. This is my condition for saving Momochi Zabuza."
"Really?"
A hint of wariness and doubt flashed in Haku's eyes.
Would such a grave crime as attempting to assassinate the Mizukage truly be forgiven?
Mei Terumi nodded and said, "Except for those truly heinous rogue ninjas, all other Kirigakure ninjas were victims of the Bloody Mist era."
Most rogue ninjas would destroy their forehead protectors, which symbolized their identity.
But Haku, who had always been by Momochi Zabuza's side, had an intact forehead protector, which was enough to prove Momochi Zabuza's loyalty to Hidden Mist Village.
"I'm sorry, I don't know if Mr. Zabuza would be willing to return."
Under the expectant gaze of Uncle Tazuna, Haku shook her head and refused.
She was Mr. Zabuza's tool and had no right to make decisions for Lord Zabuza. Haku suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "But I beg you to save Mr. Zabuza. I am willing to promise to join Kirigakure. This is the destiny of a tool."
Not angered by the refusal,
Mei Terumi smiled, took out a teleportation talisman, handed it to Haku, and then said, "In that case, let me, the Fifth Mizukage, personally ask him!"
Haku had prepared to endure her wrath and was surprised it turned out this way.
Concerned for Zabuza's safety, she quickly exited the game and exchanged this teleportation talisman into reality.
...
Wave Country, surrounded by sea fog,
At a hidden offshore base, several large ships were tied together by iron chains, their anchors firmly securing them to the sea surface.
Inside the ship's cabin,
Haku nervously released Chakra and infused it into the teleportation talisman.
Buzz.
The teleportation talisman shattered, and a teleportation gate appeared.
"The structure of the Five Great Ninja Villages has been broken. Will ambitious individuals rise with the tide? Is Gato of Wave Country the first?"
A mature and beautiful figure stepped through the teleportation gate, her toes gently landing on the deck.
