Naruto: The dungeon I developed went viral throughout the entire ninja world.

Chapter 62 Double-crossing, Kado's End

The Wave Country Bridge.

The hundreds of wandering samurai that Gato brought surrounded Team 7 and Zabuza.

At this moment, they held swords and knives, looking very confident, with a greedy glint in their eyes.

In their eyes, a few kids, a half-dead rogue ninja, and a seemingly unreliable white-haired guy were simply easy prey.

They've practically delivered this to our doorstep, so why not take advantage of it?

"What are you all standing there for? Kill them!"

Kado waved his cane.

"Whoever kills them, the bounty will be doubled!"

The samurai were also provoked by this scene; no one would turn down money, so they charged straight at them.

Naruto stood at the front and pressed the communicator on his chest.

"Store Manager."

Naruto said in a low voice.

"There's no need to do a live stream this time, right? After all, it's dirty work, which is a bit dishonorable."

Roy's voice came through the communicator, still languid, but with a hint of amusement.

"Hehe, so clever."

"Such a lucrative opportunity should of course be done behind closed doors."

"Remember, there's a saying that goes, 'Make a fortune quietly.'"

Then, Roy's voice suddenly turned somber.

"Don't be soft-hearted, leave no one alive, and don't let the news leak out."

"Okay, I understand."

Naruto released his grip and looked at Sasuke beside him.

"Are you ready?"

Sasuke drew the Kusanagi sword, and his three-tomoe Sharingan slowly rotated.

"I was just afraid you wouldn't perform well. I've been waiting for this for ages. I didn't get to have enough fun just now, and now some sparring partners have arrived."

Zabuza sat on the ground, panting heavily, clearly having been badly injured by Kakashi earlier.

Naruto tossed him a black pill.

"These are soldier rations, the extra-strength version, want to try them?"

Naruto said.

"But think it over. Will eating it restore 50% of your chakra? The side effects are also obvious; you'll be weak for three days afterward."

Zabuza took the pill, swallowed it without even looking at it.

"Whether they're weak or not doesn't matter. Compared to you guys, I'm much angrier looking at Kado and his gang. I wish I could tear them to pieces right now."

Since we've decided to cooperate, there's no need to be coy.

After the pill entered the stomach, a warm current instantly flowed throughout the body, and the depleted meridians were filled with power again.

Zabuza stood up and picked up the spare sword from the ground.

"Hey, kid."

Zabuza revealed a demonic smile.

"Since it's a collaboration..."

"Then I'll show you the true strength of the Hidden Mist Demon."

Haku stood beside Zabuza, holding a senbon needle in his hand, his eyes regaining their resolve.

He felt at ease as long as Zabuza was by his side; as long as Zabuza was alive, everything was fine.

"Let's do it!"

Naruto roared, and the four figures rushed out at the same time.

However, this is simply a case of being outmatched.

Although there were many wandering samurai, most of them were just a mob that did nothing but hack and slash indiscriminately, without any sense of strategy or method.

Not to mention that they can't handle ninjas, they're not even as good as the samurai of the Land of Iron. At the very least, the samurai of the Land of Iron might not be weaker than ninjas.

At this moment, this group of people were like lambs to the slaughter when facing regular ninjas, especially those with some strength.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Naruto forms hand seals.

Hundreds of shadow clones appeared instantly, filling the entire bridge surface.

"Ora ora ora!"

The clones, brandishing their fists or wielding kunai, charged into the samurai ranks.

The clearing operation began, clearly showing that the majority of people were bullying the minority.

Sasuke's figure weaved through the crowd, lightning flashing.

His Sharingan captured every enemy's movement.

Before the opponent could even raise their hand, his sword had already pierced through them, killing them one by one, and specifically targeting those who looked like the leader.

Zabuza moved with an air of unparalleled freedom, displaying a rather rough and unrestrained style, wielding a large sword.

He was like a meat grinder, leaving no place untouched in his wake.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Zabuza laughed wildly; the feeling of killing brought him back his confidence and the thrill of his youth.

These two battles against Konoha ninjas left him extremely frustrated, to the point that he almost became withdrawn.

Kado stood behind, his face changing from greed to terror.

He was somewhat stunned to see the warriors he had hired at great expense fall like wheat being harvested.

Is it because the money wasn't spent properly, and stronger samurai weren't found, or are the ninjas on the other side simply too strong?

"How is that possible..."

Kado trembled and backed away.

"These monsters..."

He turned and ran toward the bridgehead, where his boat was moored.

"Oh, trying to run away?"

A pink figure blocked his way—Sakura Haruno.

She was holding another empty bottle in her hand; thankfully, she had a spare of the basic Strength Potion.

"Stay here!"

Sakura let out a sharp shout and slammed her fist onto the bridge.

The concrete bridge surface instantly collapsed, and a huge crack appeared in front of Kado, cutting off his escape route.

Kado was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with a thud, his crotch getting soaked.

"Please, please...don't kill me!"

Gato watched Sakura approach step by step, and Zabuza, covered in blood, behind her.

"I have money!"

Kado pulled a large wad of cash from his pocket.

"I'll give you the money! Double! Ten times!"

"If you let me go, all my money is yours!"

Zabuza dragged his large sword and walked over step by step.

Finally, he looked at the shady businessman who had been bossing him around.

"money?"

Zabuza sneered.

"If I kill you, your money will still be mine."

Kado's eyes widened.

"No……"

Knife up and down.

Kado's head fell into the sea, splashing up a wave.

The battle ended, and the bridge was covered in blood.

Naruto walked over and knelt down next to Gato's headless corpse.

He started touching it, his movements practiced, a result of Roy's special training.

"The key... has been found."

Naruto pulled a bunch of golden keys from Gato's pocket.

"Bank account... Goodness, so many zeros?"

Naruto stared wide-eyed at the numbers on his bankbook.

"This shady dealer is really rich!"

"It looks like Granny Tsunade's debts will be paid off quite a bit now. She should be happy, right?"

Naruto stuffed the items into his ninja tool bag and addressed his companions.

"That's all for now."

After cleaning up the battlefield, the group arrived at the bridgehead, where the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Kakashi stared at Zabuza with a complex expression.

Zabuza.

Kakashi spoke.

"Although you helped and killed Gato, you are still an S-rank rogue ninja from Kirigakure."

"According to ninja rules, now that I've encountered you, I must take you back and hand you over to the Anbu for processing."

This is both a principle and a stance.

Zabuza gripped his greatsword tightly.

Although his chakra had recovered somewhat, he had no chance of winning against Kakashi.

"Trying to arrest me?"

Zabuza snorted coldly.

"Then let's see if you have the ability."

The atmosphere became tense again, with Haku standing in front of Zabuza.

"Kakashi-sensei."

Naruto suddenly interrupted and stepped between the two.

"Don't be so serious."

Naruto pulled a yellow talisman from his pocket, on which were drawn strange runes.

[Dead Man's Disguise Talisman]

This is a tool Roy gave him; it can alter a person's chakra fluctuations and even change their appearance to some extent.

"Smack."

Naruto stuck the talisman on Zabuza's forehead.

Zabuza was stunned for a moment. He felt that his aura had changed and become unfamiliar.

Even the bandages on his face had become somewhat blurry.

"Kakashi-sensei, you've mistaken me for someone else."

Naruto pointed at Zabuza and spouted nonsense with a straight face.

"Momochi Zabuza is dead. He just fell into the sea and fed the fish."

"The person standing in front of you now is the newly hired top-level security consultant of the Illusion Dojo."

"His name is..."

Naruto thought for a moment.

"Azan is a wandering samurai."

Kakashi: ...

Zabuza: ...

Is this even allowed? There's a limit to blatant lying, isn't there?

The iconic bandage is still there!

"right."

Bai reacted quickly, revealing his handsome face and smiling innocently.

"I am Mr. Azhan's assistant."

"noob."

Please give me your guidance.

Kakashi looked at these people, speechless, still thinking that Naruto had already stopped him from killing Zabuza.

Could it be that they're really going to sell him?

And then there's A-Zhan and Xiao-Bai, who are even more outrageous. Do these people think he's an idiot?

"Naruto..."

Kakashi sighed.

Do you think the Anbu will believe it?

Whether the Dark Guard believes it or not is unimportant.

Naruto leaned close to Kakashi's ear and whispered something.

"The important thing is that the store manager said that as long as we take this knife back..."

"The limited edition of 'Make-Out Paradise'...the kind with a signature."

Kakashi's dead fish eyes lit up instantly.

Limited edition! And signed! Is it Jiraiya-sama's autograph?

Principles and stances can be set aside for now; they're all irrelevant when it comes to limited editions.

"Cough cough."

Kakashi coughed twice and put away his kunai.

He looked at Zabuza, and his eyes became "kind".

"Oh, it's Mr. A-Zhan."

"Nice to meet you."

"Since they're the store manager's employees, they're one of us."

"Welcome to Konoha."

Zabuza looked at this shameless Konoha Jonin and his worldview shattered.

Is this Konoha?

Why does it feel even darker than the Hidden Mist?

Naruto waved to the crowd.

"This mission has been successfully completed."
