Chapter 097 How did this little devil graduate? (Ch 097)

“Hahaha, hahahahaha…”

Zabuza, who had eight dogs hanging on his body, was amused by the reversal of the situation. He just chuckled at first, and then suddenly raised his head and laughed out loud, almost laughing like an Uchiha.

What a great show!

He finally understood why Mo Chen adjusted his plan and made him give up on killing Dazna.

This Dazna is no longer worth killing.

“What are you laughing at?” Kakashi frowned.

Zabuza put away his aura and laughed, “Kakashi, I admit that you won this battle. But unfortunately, I was the one who completed the mission in the end! The ultimate goal of a ninja is to complete the mission, am I right?”

Kakashi sighed softly, and made a seal to remove the summoning beast hanging on Zabuza. He said helplessly: “Ah, you are right, our mission has failed!”

“What’s going on?” Naruto heard Kakashi admit defeat, and he didn’t care about Bai, and immediately shouted: “We have obviously defeated them. As long as we get rid of them completely, Uncle Dazna can build the bridge with peace of mind, right?”

“And everyone, why do you want to stop Uncle Dazna? As long as the bridge is built, you can go to the Fire Country to sell fish by yourselves. Why do you still want to sell the fish to Cardo? I don’t understand! I can’t figure it out at all!”

Naruto looked mad. He couldn’t accept such an ending at all and couldn’t understand it at all.

We clearly won the battle, so why do you say the mission failed?

You can obviously build the bridge, so why give up?

It was obvious that Cardo was the one who oppressed them, so why did they turn around and speak for Cardo?

“You are still too young, kid. That’s why being a ninja is not something you can do!”

Zabuza was in a good mood and patiently explained: “Your mission is to protect the old man and build the bridge, not to defeat us. If you can’t even figure out the relationship between the primary and the secondary, I advise you to go back to the ninja school and study again.”

“So, so, as long as we defeat you, Uncle Dazna can build the bridge with peace of mind, right?” Naruto didn’t understand the difference at all.

Zabuza looked at Kakashi strangely and said sarcastically, “How did this kid graduate from the Ninja School? If all the Genin in Konoha are of this level, then I really doubt whether Konoha has become weak inside!”

“This… this is just a special case!” Kakashi’s mouth twitched slightly, and he turned to look at Naruto, explaining helplessly: “The people of Wave Country do not allow Dazna to continue building the bridge. In other words, Zabuza and his men no longer need to take action. Their goal was to stop Dazna.”

“Even if we defeat Zabuza now, we can’t change the minds of the people of Wave Country, so our fight is meaningless.”

“And since we, Dazna, can’t build a bridge, we can’t continue our mission. It can only be considered a mission failure.”

“But…but…” Naruto thought for a long time but couldn’t figure it out.

He felt that the logic was wrong, but he couldn’t figure it out.

Kakashi patted Naruto’s shoulder and sighed softly, not knowing what words to say to comfort him, because he was also feeling very aggrieved at the moment.

He had experienced failure in battle and mission, but this was the first time he lost to an outsider.

“Mr. Zabuza!”

At this time, Bai had recovered from the disappointment of losing to Naruto. Although he still felt that he was no longer worthy of being Zabuza’s tool, when he saw Zabuza’s body covered with injuries, he decided to protect Zabuza first.

On the other side, Dazna had already started arguing with Kitch.

“Three times the price? So what if it’s three times the price?”

Dazna said angrily, “Even if the price is three times higher, it’s still far worse than if we sell the goods to the Fire Nation ourselves. Besides, do you want to be kept in the Wave Nation for the rest of your life, being trampled underfoot by others forever, and living without dignity?”

“Yes, that’s it!” Naruto’s eyes lit up when he heard what Dazna said.

This is what he thought in his mind, but he was tongue-tied and couldn’t say it, or he didn’t know how to express it.

“You’d better shut up! Isn’t it chaotic enough now?” Kakashi slapped Naruto on the head, not knowing how to convince this problem child.

However, Kitch’s next words answered Naruto’s doubts.

“I understand what you said, and I believe everyone understands it too!” Kitch said with tears in his eyes, “But we need to survive!”

“Before, since there was no way out, building a bridge was our last hope. But Dazna, have you ever thought about it? Even if we build the bridge, what will happen?”

“Kado can send people to blow up the bridge at any time, or send people to the sea route along the way to steal all our goods. What should we do then?”

“Now Cardo is willing to buy it at three times the price, which is enough for everyone to live in peace. Continuing to resist will only increase casualties. We don’t want to die, we all want to live, do you understand?”

Faced with Kitch’s loud questioning, Dazna was suddenly speechless.

Yes, with Kakashi and others around, he could do whatever it takes to build the bridge.

But what happens after it’s built?

Kakashi and the others return to Konoha, and Cardo makes a comeback. What should we do then?

In the original story, it was Cardo who brought his own death upon himself and was killed by Zabuza. His subordinates suffered heavy casualties and the clan eventually fell apart.

And here, Cardo is still sitting firmly on the fishing platform.

Kakashi was experienced and knew that in this situation, Dazna had no choice but to compromise, so he announced the mission failure in advance.

“Kakashi, it’s time for us to leave!” Zabuza hung his body on Bai, said hello before leaving, and said with a smile: “I enjoyed the two battles with you very much. I hope I will have the opportunity to fight you again in the future. But next time, I will not lose again!”

“I hope that next time we meet we won’t be enemies. Maybe we can sit down and have a few drinks together!” Kakashi waved at him.

Zabuza snorted and laughed: “That may disappoint you. It’s hard for me to sit still.”

After saying that, without waiting for Kakashi to reply, he let Bai take him away.

Naruto, whose head was already a mess, became even more confused after hearing the conversation between the two.

“No, Kakashi-sensei, aren’t we enemies?” Naruto yelled, “Why can you greet him so nonchalantly and even say something like sit down and have a few drinks together?”

“If that’s the case, then what were we fighting so hard for?”

Life is not easy, Kakashi sighed.

“This kind of question should have been taught in ninja school, right?” Kakashi said helplessly, “Ninjas from different camps may sometimes become enemies due to mission conflicts, but ninjas cannot carry personal emotions when performing missions.”

“To put it simply, we are enemies while we are on a mission, and once the mission is over, our status as enemies ends as well.”

“What if the other party kills our companions during the mission… companions, oh, yes, Sasuke!!” Naruto had just raised the question when he immediately thought of the man he had forgotten. With a scream, he immediately ran to the place where Sasuke’s body was lying. He no longer had time to think about these troublesome questions.

“My companions!” Kakashi looked up at the sky and sighed inwardly: That’s why there are so many tragedies and pains in the ninja world!

Ninjas are tools that require no emotions.

But as a human being, who can be truly emotionless?
