Naruto: Immortal Spirit

Goju Yagura is dead, dead for a long time.

But the Kingdom of Water didn't seem to have changed much because of the death of a shadow. The Yuanshi regained control of the Kingdom of Water, but it didn't make the Kingdom of Water better as Zabuza expected.

"So, how to do it?"

"Who is the one who leads Kirigakure and breaks through this fog..."

Maybe it was with a certain purpose in the beginning. Although this purpose has not changed until now, it seems to be slightly different.

Zabuza was carrying a decapitating sword and was covered in bandages. The ninjas of the Land of Grass were too weak. In his eyes, they were just some Nami ninja who had learned a few ninjutsu. He took these guys on a mission and let him It feels like playing a ninja game.

"Zabuza-sama..., we are about to arrive at the Grass Ninja Village..."

"Kato sent news that Lord Kato has returned..."

Haku stood respectfully beside Zabuza. Perhaps from the day Zabuza rescued him from the Kingdom of Water, Haku found the meaning of life - there was probably nothing wrong with living for others.

He frowned slightly, as if he was also thinking hard about something: what Zabuza was thinking was what he was thinking, and seeing Zabuza frowning, he couldn't help but ponder.

"Hmph, is this guy finally willing to come out of his precious laboratory..."

"You really did something big..."

Zabuza couldn't help but move a little faster. With only some subtle information, Zabuza could guess that the Nine-Tails Rebellion in Konoha must be related to Kato Oo. During his time in Kusanagi Village, he was more or less aware of this. The man gained some understanding.

"Kato-sama is a wise man. Maybe he can answer Zabuza-sama's doubts..."

"Oh? Shiro seems to know Kato Ou very well?"

"I don't know, it's just that since I came to Kusanagi Village, I have been following Zabuza-sama's orders and collecting information about Kato-sama.

Although I don’t quite understand what Kato-sama is doing all day long, judging from the existing information and some contacts, it seems that Kato-sama is not the arrogant rebellious ninja that Konoha says..."

"Just from the fact that he and Orochimaru defected at the same time, it can be seen that there must be some problems on Konoha's side. This defection must have been planned for a long time..."

"But the strange thing is that Konoha doesn't seem to have taken any action against Lord Kato, as if this never happened..."

"You mean, maybe his defection was just an illusion?"

"That's not the case. If, as Zabuza-sama speculates, the Nine-Tails Rebellion was caused by Kato-sama, then no matter what, Konoha will not abandon a single Kage because of this..."

"So, there is no doubt that Lord Kato is a traitor to Konoha, but there should be high-level officials in Konoha who are on Lord Kato's side, so they can, to a certain extent, make some 'conveniences' for Lord Kato as much as possible..."

"If I'm not mistaken, this person is the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, but this is what really puzzles me..."

"Namikaze Minato died because of the Nine-Tails Rebellion..., so what exactly is he going to do?"

"I'm sorry, Zabuza-sama, there is too little information and I can't analyze anything more..."

Zabuza's thoughts couldn't help but go back to the day when he first met Kato Ou. He said categorically that Kirigakure would not change just because there was a new person in power. Everything seemed to be coming true.

He knew that Kato Ou must know more secrets that he didn't know yet but wanted to know urgently.

"Bai, try your best to establish a good relationship with Kabuto. This child will probably provide us with some information about that laboratory..."

Zabuza's voice was low. He knew that Kato O valued Kabuto and would definitely know more.

The words gradually fell silent. Zabuza stood up slowly and looked around. A dozen grass ninjas were smiling happily with this 'harvest'. They seemed to be extremely satisfied with their current life. He couldn't help but sneered.

From the beginning, he understood that these grass ninjas were just wage earners under Kato Oo and had never been regarded as one of his own.And the same goes for him and Bai.But even though he was in Kusakunin Village, he would never forget that he was a Kirigakure.

"Yes, don't kill the adults again!"

The Country of Grass does not have a stable political power. Even the Grass Ninja Village, which is composed of a group of third-rate ninjas who call themselves Grass Ninjas, has no substantial control over the entire Country of Grass.

The northwest is the Kingdom of Earth, the southeast is the Kingdom of Fire, the north is bordered by the Kingdom of Taki, and the southern border is almost surrounded by the Kingdom of Rain. The Kingdom of Grass can exist until now only because of the needs of the big countries...

And such a place of four wars also spawned countless chaos, especially after the war. In more than a year, Zabuza, with the Kusanagi and other ninjas, ruthlessly cut off some of the most prominent beings. One after another, countless amounts of money poured into Kato Oo's laboratory.

Although it does not seem to have created any actual value, the circulation of a large amount of money still makes Kusanagi Village look completely new. Not only have some new buildings been built, but as the income of ninjas has increased significantly, some excitement and prosperity have also begun to appear. In the Grass Ninja Village.

"But it's all false..."

Kato Ou took Nonou, Kabuto, Lin, and Xiangling for a rare walk on the street of Kusanagi Village.

Although it is much smaller than Konoha, the entire Grass Ninja Village, plus the new places built during this year, is barely one-tenth the size of Konoha, but it is still somewhat popular.

Or maybe it was a businessman soliciting business, looking at Nonoyu and his group with a flattering smile, or maybe it was a ninja who had just returned from a distance, dusty, but still looking at them with some respect, roughly speaking. The residents of Cao Ninja Village are quite satisfied with the new changes this year.

Although Kato Ou did not do it himself, some insights that transcended the times also gave the Land of Grass a bit of vitality.

Zabuza was not a very good executor, but Haku and Nonou had a fairly clear mind, and they were able to implement some of Kato Oo's policies very well.

The super powerful force of ninjas has no ability for civilians to resist at all. The Country of Grass is not a big place, and with an existence like Zabuza, it can already be called the ceiling of force.

"Zabuza led the ninjas in the village to calm down the chaos in many places. They heard about the changes in the Grass Ninja Village, and many people who lived far away moved to the Grass Ninja Village..."

"The originally newly built housing is now full, and the third batch of new housing is already being planned..."

"Thanks to Kabuto, many people have been taught medical ninjutsu, and the Kusanagi Hospital is about to be established..."

"Although many people are dissatisfied with the high taxes, most people actually hope that Kusanagi Village will become better and better..."

"Xujun, the Kingdom of Grass has changed so much in the past year..."

"These are all thanks to Xu..."

It seems that Nonoyu has not seen Kato Oo for a long time. Although he is holding Xiang Ling, his eyes can't help but focus on Kato Oo. He still has a gentle smile on his face, but it seems to be more heartfelt. of joy.From time to time, Kato Ou listened quietly and did not express any opinions while talking about the current situation of the Country of Grass.

Probably, the changes in the Kingdom of Grass are also one of the motivations for Zabuza to stay here. Perhaps, he dreams of such a scene happening in the Kingdom of Water...
