I, Yu Uchiha, am devoted to cultivating immortality.

Momochi Zabuza's reputation became even worse.

He accepted Cardo's employment at the gold exchange, but killed Cardo in full view of the public, and even robbed Cardo of his wealth.

Zabuza violated a taboo against ninjas. Not only was he no longer able to go to the gold exchange station to take on missions, he was even put on the hunt list by the gold exchange station, and an additional reward was added to his head.

Zabuza didn't care about this, so it didn't matter if he couldn't complete the mission. The money he got from looting Kado's treasure house was more than the bonus he got from completing 5000 A-level missions.

5000 A-level missions. No matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to complete them in this lifetime.

So, why bother thinking about doing tasks later?

Now that Mr. Buza is financially free, he will never do missions again!

As for the pursuit and bounty at the money exchange, Zabuza doesn't even care.

As a rebellious ninja from Kirigakure Village, he also has the pride of becoming a famous jounin in the five major ninja villages. What kind of amazing ninja can he find in exchange for just gold?

Could those hunters in the underground world still be able to defeat him, Uncle Zabuza?

Momochi Zabuza is very confident, even if a blind guy finds him, he will definitely become a dead soul under the beheading sword.

Zabuza in both time and space has no long-term experience as a rebel ninja, so they don't know that there are strong people in the underground world.

For example, Xuanyuan Zhong who almost killed the Fourth Raikage, and Kakuzu who was chasing the bounty.

In fact, at this time, Kakuzu had been attracted by Zabuza's high reward, and traveled thousands of miles to the Kingdom of Waves, searching everywhere for traces of Zabuza.

If Zabuza hadn't taken Haku out to sea, he would have been tracked by Kakuzu and died tragically at the hands of this veteran Kage-level ninja.

What protected Zabuza was the vast sea.

Kakuzu tracked from the country of Waves to the country of Yu, and even found the small port where Zabuza set sail. After searching the islands near the port to no avail, he reluctantly chose to give up.

He is a top tracking master, but what he is good at is tracking traces on land, and he is also good at mining clues from the memories of passers-by.

But facing the vast sea, Kakuzu is helpless. He knows nothing about the traces on the sea water, and it is impossible to dig clues from the brains of the fish.

Kakuzu could only sigh as he looked at the seven-digit amount on the bounty order, then put the bounty order away and turned to track other bounty targets.

He is an organized person now and cannot stubbornly wait at the beach for a long time for a single goal. After all, he now has a target for making money.

Kakuzu muttered: "Damn angel, you set some damn standards for me. I'm so exhausted now that I don't even have a sense of accomplishment in making money!"

After all, Kakuzu pulled out another reward notice and muttered: "Let's hunt down this one this time. Mikasa, the broken monk, is hiding in the country of Yu."

"The bounty is too small, only 16 taels."

"It would be great if there was a war. Contracting war is the fastest way to make money."

After thinking about it, Kakuzu's figure disappeared by the sea.

……

The ANBU of Konoha Village rescued Team 7 back to Konoha Village, which shocked the entire top management.

Hatake Kakashi was seriously injured, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto was seriously injured, and Uchiha Sasuke was seriously injured. Each of them made the Third Hokage terrified, and the secret passage was dangerous and dangerous.

Danzo Shimura came after hearing the news, and was furious at the Third Hokage, questioning his irresponsible move of letting the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki leave the village.

Of course, the talkative Danzo was no match for Hiruzen Sarutobi. He soon became frustrated and ran away angrily after performing the famous scenes of "you regret it" and "my shadow".

After Sarutobi Hiruzen left his old friend in anger, he continued to discuss with the remaining two classmates how to arrange Uzumaki Naruto, and finally decided to recall Jiraiya to serve as Naruto's teacher.

This decision is to some extent the consensus of all ninjas in Konoha Village.

The 60-year-old Third Hokage in Konoha is really too old, and the Sarutobi clan behind him has expanded too much and usurped too many interests.

As the saying goes, cutting off someone's financial path is like killing one's parents.

When half of the interests of Konoha Village were occupied by the Sarutobi clan, they naturally became the target of the entire Konoha Village's resentment.

Thanks to the miraculous operations of the Third Hokage for twenty years, Hatake Sakumo, Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina, and Uchiha Shisui died suddenly one after another. Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi became traitorous ninjas, and Tsunade, Zi Come and leave one after another.

Almost all the shadow-level ninjas in Konoha Village were destroyed, leaving Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura as the only shadow-level ninjas in Konoha Village.

Danzo Shimura was even more unpopular than him, and everyone could only hold their noses and accept the rule of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But when the aging of the Third Hokage cannot be concealed, his rule will naturally be in danger, and he himself understands that he must give way.

If possible, Hiruzen Sarutobi would certainly want Asuma Sarutobi to succeed him as Hokage.

But as we all know, although this bearded man has a great reputation and possesses weapons made of pure chakra metal, his strength is not considered top-notch, and he is at best middle-class among the jounin of Konoha.

Among the famous Jonin, except for Asuma's own girlfriend Kurenai, all of them are far more powerful than him.

As the leader of Konoha Village, a ninja who holds the position of Hokage must be at least a Kage-level ninja, so Asuma has no chance of becoming Hokage.

As a result, Jiraiya, the irresponsible prodigal, became a popular figure, and almost everyone wanted him to come back as the Fifth Hokage.

Ordinary ninjas like Jiraiya for his true nature, admire his great strength, and respect his meritorious service in the war.

The Konoha ninja clan hopes that someone can interrupt the Sarutobi clan's control of power and suppress the Sarutobi clan's expansion.

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew his student's temperament well, and Jiraiya would never liquidate himself and the Sarutobi clan when he came to power.

No one had ever thought about whether Jiraiya himself wanted to become Hokage.

Let Jiraiya return to the village and serve as Naruto Uzumaki's teacher. When he re-establishes the bond, he can be promoted to the position of Hokage.

When the Third Hokage issued the order, everyone was happy.

But everyone ignored that in this incident in the Land of Waves, the third victim was Uchiha Sasuke, and the fourth victim was Haruno Sakura.

It doesn't matter if you ignore Haruno Sakura. This girl has not grown up yet. She is naive and has a simple love-mindedness. She has never played a positive role from the beginning to the end, and her future potential has not yet been realized.

But ignoring Uchiha Sasuke is a huge problem.

The reason why it was ignored was because Hatake Kakashi concealed Zabuza's last words, and Sasuke and Kakashi were patients who lived in the same room when they were treated for fractures in the hospital.

In the dead of night, I didn't know what they said. In short, Sasuke healed the fracture quietly, quietly learned ninjutsu from Kakashi, and didn't do anything extraordinary.

Even when the Four Purple Flame Formation was deployed on the playing field, Uchiha Sasuke did not show any problems, and he and Uzumaki Naruto and other genin pursued the Jinchūriki of Sunagakure Village.

It wasn't until the third generation of Hokage was sent away by Orochimaru and the farce in Konoha Village settled that Haruno Sakura and Uzumaki Naruto realized that Uchiha Sasuke was missing.
