Chapter 273: Zabuza’s Bitterness

After seeing Zabuza’s reaction, a smile flashed across Uchiha Qiushan’s eyes.

Zabuza has always been arrogant. Not to mention giving way to ordinary people, he might even go up and fight against powerful figures as famous as Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

And now, he actually avoided Uchiha Qiushan and Bai Weiwei who were dressed as civilians. This also showed that Zabuza was in a very bad state, and he might be avoiding someone’s pursuit.

Yes, at this time, Zabuza might have just attempted to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage who was controlled by Uchiha Obito, but it seems that he failed and he was seriously injured.

Uchiha Qiushan didn’t say anything, but slightly changed direction and led Bai forward.

When Zabuza saw the other party’s reaction, although he remained expressionless on the surface, he was relieved in his heart.

Just as the two of them were walking crosswise, Uchiha Qiushan suddenly raised his hand and patted Zabuza on the shoulder silently.

Zabuza only realized something was wrong after Uchiha Kyouzan patted him on the shoulder. He then shuddered and rushed out like a frightened bird.

After Zabuza rushed out, he looked at Uchiha Qiushan not far away with a look of shock on his face, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his right hand was placed on the hilt of the beheading sword.

“Who are you?”

Uchiha Qiushan looked at Zabuza in front of him leisurely and said:

“A passerby just recognized an acquaintance, so he said hello. Do you think it’s the demon Momochi Zabuza?”

When Zabuza heard Uchiha Qiushan’s words, the pupils in his eyes shrank uncontrollably. Knowing that the man in front of him was coming for him, he began to guard against him carefully, and his right hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, ready to strike at any time.

As he said, “I don’t know you, sir. I’m not your acquaintance.”

Uchiha Qiushan nodded and admitted: “In fact, I have never seen you before, but I have heard of your fame for a long time, so I couldn’t help but say hello to you.”

Zabuza had no intention of reminiscing with him and rushed directly into the woods nearby. Then, the fog around the woods became thicker.

Zabuza’s voice came from all directions, and it sounded like his emotions were much calmer.

“Who are you, Excellency? I will never kill a nameless person again.”

Uchiha Qiushan looked at the fog around him with interest, but the direction he looked was always where Zabuza was moving. Even if Zabuza moved, Uchiha Qiushan’s eyes were still fixed on him, as if the person in front of him was not affected by the fog, which made Zabuza very afraid.

Uchiha Qiushan locked onto Zabuza’s position and said:

“Although I have never met Mr. Zabuza, we have been friends for a long time. I have seen many of Mr. Zabuza’s fellow villagers. Today, I am able to meet Mr. Zabuza, which makes up for my regret.”

Before he knew it, Uchiha Qiushan had opened his three-magatama Sharingan and looked at Zabuza who was hiding in the thick fog.

After seeing Uchiha Ooyama’s Sharingan, Zabuza’s heart continued to sink. The Uchiha clan’s Sharingan, and a three-magatama one, can be said to be the symbol of an elite jonin.

If he was in good condition now, he would be able to fight against him with confidence. Even if he couldn’t beat him, he would be sure to escape unscathed.

And now, only he himself knows how bad his current condition is. Don’t look at his clean and neat movements just now, he just did it with difficulty in order to confuse the enemy and make him unable to see his true strength and not act rashly.

Zabuza looked at Uchiha Qiushan who was standing there without any sign of action, and said loudly: “You are from the Uchiha clan. I remember that the Uchiha clan has now left Konoha. Do you still want to work for Konoha Village?”

Uchiha Qiushan also heard that Zabuza was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, so he smiled and said, “Zabuza, you think too much. Not to mention Konoha, no one in this world can command me.”

Zabuza was also stunned when he heard Uchiha Qiushan’s words, and said in a deep voice: “Your Excellency, what do you mean by blocking my way?”

Uchiha Qiushan looked at Zabuza who changed his position without giving up, then stared at him and said: “I have a small suggestion. Since Mr. Zabuza has no place to stay, why don’t you follow me? At least following me will not be considered an insult to you.”

Although Zabuza knew that he was no match for the man in front of him, he was also amused by what he said and said proudly

“What qualifications do you have for me to follow you? After all, I, Zabuza, am one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist Village. Anyone who can gain my loyalty must be at least a Kage-level warrior. Even the Third Hokage of Konoha is not qualified to let me become his subordinate, let alone a nobody like you.”

Zabuza clenched his hands tightly around the beheading sword, ready to make one last gamble. This was also his last pride as a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

When Uchiha Qiushan saw Zabuza’s reaction, he knew that if he didn’t show his true abilities, he would not be convinced.

A smile appeared on Uchiha Qiushan’s lips, then he took a step forward and gradually released his aura. With the vast chakra in his body, he rushed towards Zabuza. Even the thick fog around him was dispersed, revealing Zabuza hiding in the fog.

Originally, when Zabuza saw Uchiha Kyouzan making a move, he knew that he was about to start taking action, and was preparing to draw the beheading sword behind him. However, he did not expect that this man would exude such a suffocating aura, which made his movements freeze there. He no longer had the courage to take action. He knew very well in his heart that as long as the man opposite him was willing, he would be killed in the next second.

Zabuza, who had experienced many life and death situations, was very clear about this kind of momentum. This person’s strength was definitely far beyond his. Even their Mizukage was far inferior to him.

Seeing Zabuza’s reaction, Uchiha Qiushan slowly put away his momentum and said with a smile:

“I wonder if Mr. Zabuza has changed his mind now?”

After Uchiha Qiushan withdrew his momentum, Zabuza also breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand that was holding the hilt loosened. With a bitter look on his face, he said with difficulty:

“Who are you? You are definitely not an unknown person. Even if you want me to die, you must let me die knowingly.”
