Senior Brother of Konoha

;

The coast of Hainoshima.

Zabuza stopped running, turned around to face Kakashi who was chasing after him, and said with a chuckle: "Kakashi, seeing that you are chasing after me so closely, you must be very obsessed with what happened back then."

"exactly."

Kakashi also followed the stopped steps, taking out the tachi from the dimensional bag with his right hand, and removing the blindfold from his left eye with his left hand, ready to fight at any time.

Zabuza's expression was very relaxed, and he didn't feel at all that he was provoking Kakashi Hatake, who was known as the strongest senior brother in Konoha.

Even though he saw Kakashi taking out his sword, he didn't get nervous, and he didn't even intend to take out his decapitating sword to prepare for battle.

"Speaking of which, I'm also a little curious about who those two old men were, what they have to do with you, and why you spent so many years chasing me."

"If I weren't very sure that your father was Hatake Shigesuke, I even doubted that the two old people I killed at that time would be your parents."

"I said Kakashi Hatake, how could you do this for two strangers?"

Kakashi raised his sword flatly and made a gesture to invite Zabuza to fight, but his expression was not angry or impulsive at all, it was just terrifyingly calm, like the still water of a thousand-foot deep pool.

Kakashi said calmly: "You are a killer. You accept other people's money and accept other people's commissions to kill. That is your duty and your mission. There is nothing wrong with it."

"but me"

He pointed at his chest with his left thumb, "But I am different. I am a practitioner of Konoha Gate. Although I am not a killer, what I do is use people's money to eliminate disasters for others."

"I accepted the money from those two old men and accepted the task of protecting them. I must protect them from you."

"It's a pity that I was weak back then and overestimated the character of killers like you, which led to their death in your hands."

"Wait a minute." Zabuza suddenly raised his hand to interrupt Kakashi, "What did I hear just now? You said you took money from those two old men."

An extremely exaggerated expression appeared on his face, "Did I hear you right? All the money of those two old men was divided up by their sons. How can there be money to hire a master like you?"

Kakashi raised a finger, "A copper plate."

Zabuza asked in confusion: "What do you mean a copper plate? Did you say that copper plate turned out to be some kind of valuable antique?"

Kakashi shook his head calmly, "No, no, it's just a copper coin."

Zabuza was dumbfounded, "For just one copper, you are Kakashi Hatake. I can hire you as a bodyguard for just one copper. Don't you think your worth is too low?"

A proud smile appeared on Kakashi's face, "I don't think so at all."

"why"

Zabuza asked.

"Because those two old people are kind-hearted old people. They have lived a life without fighting against the world and relied on hard work. They have accumulated a huge family fortune in decades."

"Because the people who hired you to kill those two old men were all bastards. They were not responsible for dividing the old man's property, and they wanted the death of these two old men. Such a thing is unacceptable."

"As a Konoha person who upholds justice, I have absolutely no way of ignoring such a thing, so I accepted the employment of two old men for a copper coin to prevent you from assassinating them."

Kakashi's expression became more and more excited, and there was even a divine light that could represent justice appearing on his face.

But Zabuza's expression became more and more subtle, and when he heard the last part, he even laughed.

Kakashi waved the sword in his hand and angrily accused Zabuza: "What's so funny about a villain like you who kills without blinking an eye, what right do you have to laugh at me?"

Zabuza laughed out of breath, and it took him a while to calm down. He put his left hand on his knees, swung his right hand repeatedly, and said something with a smile that made Kakashi incomprehensible.

"Forget it, I take back my previous evaluation of you."

"Forget it, what did you say about me before?"

Zabuza said with a playful expression, "Although I didn't think highly of you before, I thought you were a bit stupid and overflowing with justice, which was completely unrealistic."

"But no matter what, I still had a little admiration for you at that time. After all, not everyone is like you. You are willing to pursue me for many years for the sake of two strangers and for the justice in your heart. .”

"But now, I want to take back those comments about you, because I think you are not stupid at all, but stupid, hopelessly stupid."

"Don't you think about it, if those two old men really lived their whole lives without fighting with others as they said, how did they accumulate such a huge family fortune?"

"Hard work and hard work"

"In this war-torn world, there are really people who can rely on hard work and accumulate wealth that others cannot accumulate in several lifetimes."

"Are you joking"

"Kakashi Hatake, I'm afraid you haven't even asked who those two old people are."

"Even if you use a little care and ask random people in that village, you will get the truth you don't want to know."

"The so-called "no struggle with the world" actually means killing people secretly and killing all those who dare to compete with them. This is the "no struggle with the world".

"If being a bandit who seeks wealth and kills can be considered hard work, then the two old men you mentioned can really be considered hard work."

"In less than ten years, hundreds of innocent passers-by died at their hands."

"This is only in the last 10 years. If we add in the previous decades, at least thousands of innocent lives have been lost because of them."

"When you hear this, Hatake Kakashi, do you feel ashamed or have the urge to slap yourself?"

Every time Zabuza said something, Kakashi's face would turn darker. Before Zabuza could finish speaking, Kakashi's face had turned completely dark.

But this is not over yet, Zabuza has no intention of letting him go yet.

"I admit that I am not a good person, and my men have killed innocent people."

"But in front of those two old people, no, no, those two don't deserve to be called old people. They don't even deserve to be human, not even scum."

"In front of those two old bastards and their bastard sons, I will bow down to them even if Zabuza is in front of them."

"As for you, Hatake Kakashi, I think there are no other suitable words to describe you except naive."

"So, after knowing the truth, Kakashi Nanaki, do you still have the courage to hunt me down?"
