"First Hokage, Second Hokage."
Akihara Kagura, concerned for Shimura Danzo's safety, appeared as though he had no choice but to agree to Orochimaru's request: "Lord Danzo is my mentor, I must..."
"I understand your feelings."
Senju Tobirama appreciated this very much, as Shimura Danzo was also his student, but he still turned to Orochimaru: "This guy is very dangerous, are you sure you can control him?"
"No matter what, I have to protect Lord Danzo's safety."
Akihara Kagura shook his head, seemingly lacking confidence: "As long as I can save Lord Danzo, I'll do anything..."
"You're truly loyal and righteous..."
Orochimaru's smile was slightly sarcastic, continuing with a laugh: "I set traps here just to do one last thing for the teacher. If you're willing, I can stand with you against the teacher. Konoha has indeed become rotten under his rule..."
"First resolve the monkey's troubles!"
Senju Hashirama still had some unresolved anger.
Because Senju Hashirama never imagined that the Konoha he founded with his own hands would turn out like this, a Hokage manipulating conspiracies in secret to seize power, murdering village companions, and forcing talented ninjas to defect!
"Kagura's power is indeed sufficient."
Orochimaru looked at Akihara Kagura, smiling as he spoke: "The teacher was always worried that you might rebel with force, so he kept suppressing you politically..."
Orochimaru raised his finger, laughing lightly as he continued: "However, Kagura, can you first release the two Hokages? I need to ensure my safety first so I can let you meet Danzo. You can wait for my message, I won't disappoint you..."
"..."
Akihara Kagura had to release the vines.
Orochimaru left with the two Hokages, leaving Akihara Kagura alone on the bridge surface, while Karin kept observing here using Kagura Heart Eye, and immediately walked over to Akihara Kagura.
"Lord Kagura."
Karin looked at Akihara Kagura with some anxiety, whispering: "Did Lord Third Hokage really do those things?"
"Of course not."
Akihara Kagura shook his head, completely unwilling to take responsibility for the lie he fabricated: "That was just bait to lure Lord Danzo; once Orochimaru returns, he'll certainly tell Lord Danzo everything, and they'll definitely conspire to deceive the two Hokages..."
"But..."
"Black is black, white is white."
"Whatever mistakes the Third Hokage made, he has no choice but to admit them; and for the things he didn't do, he'll eventually clear his name during the confrontation..."
"Confrontation?"
Karin frowned.
"Yes..."
Akihara Kagura glanced at Karin, and chuckled: "Lord Danzo might speak of the mistakes that the Third Hokage made, but he mistakenly thinks he can slander the Third Hokage, forgetting he himself is the one who's most unclean..."
"..."
Karin nodded thoughtfully.
"Let's go."
Akihara Kagura walked toward Karin's set fishing rods, leisurely speaking: "Even though a big fish has already taken the bait today, let's still cast a couple more lines..."
After Akihara Kagura finished, he suddenly said: "Oh, let that guy named Dazna come and fix the bridge! Let Team 7's mission finish quickly!"
"..."
Team 7 was indeed worried about Akihara Kagura.
However, when they saw Akihara Kagura unharmed, they were relieved, especially Kakashi Hatake, who didn't want to see Akihara Kagura suffer here.
Time flew by quickly.
Dazna was working hard on the bridge.
Kakashi Hatake led Team 7 with intense training.
Akihara Kagura continued fishing with the Root Ninjas, and just before the bridge was completed, Momochi Zabuza returned to the Land of Waves with a heap of severed heads of Land of Water nobles.
This guy...
The combat strength is indeed not weak.
"I'm here to retrieve my Decapitating Carving Knife."
Momochi Zabuza dropped the pile of heads in front of Akihara Kagura, coldly speaking: "Not a single person is missing from the smuggling list, you can count them yourself..."
"I do want to count them..."
Akihara Kagura looked at Momochi Zabuza, an innocent look in his eye: "The key issue is, I don't know the names on the smuggling list at all..."
"Now you bastard still want to deceive me..."
Momochi Zabuza cursed, and then looked at Haku, who was carrying the Decapitating Carving Knife, and saw Haku's eyes slightly misty, suddenly realizing something.
At this time...
Akihara Kagura seemed to have no need to deceive him.
"Haku... really didn't tell you the list?"
Momochi Zabuza faintly felt he had perhaps made a mistake, recalling events from that day, wondering if he'd fallen for a trap?
However...
This time, Momochi Zabuza wasn't in the mood for those calculations.
Because Momochi Zabuza had been missing Haku this entire time since their separation, realizing he couldn't be without Haku's presence.
Yet Momochi Zabuza stubbornly refused to apologize, coldly reprimanding Haku carrying the Decapitating Carving Knife: "Come here quickly with the Decapitating Carving Knife, why are you still standing there?"
"Lord Zabuza!"
Haku quickly ran to Momochi Zabuza!
"Wait..."
Akihara Kagura said a word that stopped Haku's steps, leisurely looking at Momochi Zabuza, speaking: "Momochi Zabuza, I only promised to return your Decapitating Carving Knife..."
"Haku is my tool!"
Momochi Zabuza's face was full of anger!
