"Surrender, but still get slashed twice?"
Zabuza Momochi's face instantly turned pale.
He was, after all, a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
To save his life, he had even killed all his subordinates, offering a token of submission.
However, now Kai was going to slash him twice. This was simply an insult.
But thinking of Fuguki Suikazan and Raiga Kurosuki, who had died at Kai's hands, Zabuza Momochi's expression changed. He gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I'll let you slash me twice. I'll share some chakra with you."
"But you must keep your promise!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a look of determination flashed across Zabuza Momochi's face. He turned and plunged the Kubikiribocho into the ground.
He looked like a fish on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.
"Haha, just kidding. Don't take it too seriously. But since you chose to surrender, I still have to leave you with something," Kai smiled playfully, and blood-red light quickly spread in his pupils.
Zabuza Momochi was stunned. The moment their eyes met, he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.
Unfortunately, before he could react, his entire soul felt like it was being pulled away.
He was directly sucked into the nine-tomoe Sharingan.
However, this strange feeling quickly dissipated.
After the world spun, Zabuza Momochi finally regained consciousness.
He felt like he had fallen into water, his entire body soaked.
Even the clothes on his back were soaked through.
Looking at Kai's blood-red eyes, his nerves tightened, and he quickly lowered his head.
"Don't worry, I just left a hypnotic suggestion in your subconscious. Unless you encounter someone with stronger genjutsu than me, you won't be able to break it," Kai smiled and patted Zabuza Momochi's shoulder.
"But I'm a good person. As long as you don't betray me, I won't kill you."
Listening to these words, Zabuza Momochi's face froze, but he remained silent.
To put someone under such a hypnotic suggestion and still call himself a good person.
There probably weren't any bad people left in the world.
Moreover, after experiencing firsthand how Kai's gaze could almost make him perish in a hypnotic space, Zabuza Momochi finally understood why Fuguki Suikazan and Raiga Kurosuki had been killed.
This kind of existence was simply not something they could fight against.
Thinking about the hypnosis that Kai had placed in his subconscious, Zabuza Momochi gritted his teeth and finally gave up even the last bit of his pride.
"Sir, Zabuza Momochi will never betray you. If you want to find the girl who was taken away, I can lead you there."
Looking at Zabuza Momochi, who had instantly become a nodding dog, Kai didn't mind.
In a world of survival of the fittest, where the strong make the rules, if you can't win, you have two choices.
One is death!
The other is to become someone else's subordinate!
It could be said that Zabuza Momochi was clever and knew how to adapt to the situation.
Otherwise, Kai wouldn't mind beating him half to death and then getting the information.
"I want to know where the Three-Tails is," Kai went straight to the point.
Zabuza Momochi's face changed.
He thought that Kai was just going to rescue someone. He didn't expect him to be planning to attack the Three-Tails.
But thinking about Kai's powerful genjutsu and his rumored strength, it wasn't impossible for him to covet the Tailed Beast.
"Sir, the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails do exist in our Mist village. However, besides Utakata, who always leaves the village, the Three-Tails' whereabouts have never been revealed," Zabuza Momochi said solemnly.
Never been revealed?
Kai raised an eyebrow. The Naruto timeline he was in was ten years different from the original story.
He only knew that Rin had been kidnapped and turned into the Three-Tails' Jinchūriki.
The Mist village had originally planned to release the Three-Tails to cause havoc after Rin returned to Konoha Village, attracting Konoha's rear guard.
This would be a heavy blow to the war.
Unfortunately, Rin was killed by Kakashi along the way, causing the plan to fail.
The Three-Tails was eventually sealed within the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura's body.
As for the events before that, Kai didn't know.
Now that Zabuza Momochi mentioned it, Kai noticed something amiss.
In the original story, the First Mizukage, the Second Mizukage, and the Fourth Mizukage had all appeared.
Only the Third Mizukage had only made a brief appearance before disappearing.
He didn't even have a name.
Kai had once suspected that the Third Mizukage was the Three-Tails Jinchūriki.
If the Third Mizukage was the Jinchūriki, then, due to special circumstances, like Uzumaki Mito, he needed to change the Jinchūriki container.
So he shifted his target to Rin, implementing the rear attack plan.
This process led to the Third Mizukage's death, and then the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, naturally ascended to the throne.
It was because of the Third Mizukage's absence that Uchiha Obito was able to easily control the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura.
Then, he intensified the Blood Mist and implemented tyranny, and no one dared to stop him.
"Zabuza, do you know where the Third Mizukage is? Take me to see him," Kai said calmly.
Zabuza Momochi was stunned.
"Sir, the Third Mizukage is also very mysterious in the Mist village. He rarely appears, but now that you mention it, I also suspect that the Third Mizukage is the Jinchūriki."
"He's currently in the East Lake within the Mist village. I'll take you there now."
Zabuza Momochi didn't hesitate. He was worried that if he was even a little slow, Kai would slash him in the back.
"Let's go!"
Kai didn't hesitate. If the Third Mizukage was really the Three-Tails Jinchūriki, then Rin would definitely be there.
He could rescue her then.
Kai's top priority now was to solve his chakra deficiency.
East Lake, within the Land of Water.
It was a huge lake that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Dozens of figures rushed out of the forest, quickly landing on a rock cliff that looked like an altar.
Looking down, they saw waves crashing against the cliffs.
Three giant stone pillars, twenty or thirty meters high, stood tall.
The rocky ground around them was engraved with strange sealing jutsu.
A man in a cloak sat cross-legged there.
"Third Mizukage-sama, we brought the people back," a man wearing a flamboyant mask said solemnly.
"It's good that you brought them back," the Third Mizukage's voice was hoarse, giving off a strange, jarring feeling.
As he suddenly raised his head, he revealed a terrifying face covered in scales, making even the ninjas present take a step back.
"Don't be afraid. This is a manifestation of the Tailed Beast's backlash. The seal in my body can't suppress it anymore," the Third Mizukage's hoarse voice rang out again.
"I originally planned to transfer the Tailed Beast directly into Yagura's body, but the battle at the northwest stronghold caused heavy losses for our Mist village."
"The Daimyo is furious. If our plan doesn't succeed this time, we will lose the Daimyo's trust."
The ninjas present couldn't help but change their expressions. The leading Mist ninja couldn't contain himself and said, "Third, is the battle at the northwest stronghold true? Did Konoha really produce such a terrifying existence?"
"If he appears on the battlefield, do we have a chance of winning?"
Even the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the most notorious group in the Mist village, had lost two members.
For those ninjas without titles, Kai was a nightmare.
