Hokage: The little fox picked up by the Hatake family

"...Aren't you afraid that we will tip off Cardo?"

Zabuza felt that he did not believe that Kisaragi Saaki could not guess the reason why the two were here.

"Don't be afraid." Zaoji said, suddenly smiling: "Anyway, if you have this idea, wouldn't it be enough for me to kill you first? Do you think you can beat me now?"

When Haku heard what Saki said, he immediately ran over and stood in front of Zabuza, holding Senbon in his hand and pointing it at Saki and Rin.

Lin raised her eyebrows when she saw this. Where did she learn the bad taste in these years?

(A hidden snake: You’re welcome)

Zabuza stared at the smile on Saaki's face for a few seconds, and then said: "Haku, stand down."

"Zabuza-sama..." Haku looked at Zabuza with hesitation.

"Go back."

Zabuza's voice was obviously colder.

"……Yes."

Shiro reluctantly put down Senbon and stood by the bed to guard Zabuza, staring at Saki and Rin with wary eyes.

"Where did you pick it up? He's quite loyal." Zaoji asked with raised eyebrows.

"A small village." Zabuza got off the bed and stood up and looked at the two of them: "Are you planning to add me to your plan?"

"Aren't you a ninja hired by him?" asked Zao Jixiao.

"Kado, although he gives a lot of money, he looks down on us hired ninjas. He either gives orders arrogantly or..."

Zabuza stopped mid-sentence and took a quick glance at Haku, who was still watching Saki and Rin warily.

"Anyway, if I work with you, I'll definitely get more money."

After hearing Zabuza's words, Saaki glanced at Shiro, and then nodded: "Okay, then after we kill Kado, what do you care about this company?"

"...? Wasn't he robbing Kado?" Zabuza was obviously confused by Saaki's words.

"Yes, rob his company." Zaoji smiled.

Lin was thinking about how to reform the company after the matter was completed. After all, the information she had just found through Kisaragi Zeichi made Lin's originally blackened heart feel too much.

However, she didn't care about what the company did in private, so Lin could do whatever she wanted. Anyway, she just had nothing to do, and she was also too lazy to rob wandering ninjas due to lack of money, so she might as well find a stable source.

As Zaoki thought about it, his smile became brighter and brighter, making Zabuza and Shiro feel chills in their backs. Why do they always feel that this person is thinking of something deceptive?

"Okay, let's go." Zaoji put away his smile and looked at Lin.

Lin nodded.

Zabuza thought about it and took off the sword from his back.

Zaoji glanced at it and asked casually: "Where did you pick it up?"

"I picked it up from the side of Loquat Juzo, one of the last Seven Ninja Swordsmen, after he died."

Zaoji nodded and asked again: "Do you know how he died?"

Zabuza thought for a while and replied: "I remember that there seemed to be two ninjas wearing black windbreakers embroidered with red clouds fighting with the Fourth Mizukage. Loquat Juzo used a decapitating sword to block the Tailed Beast Jade, but was decapitated with the sword. Da Fei, then inserted into his abdomen..."

When Zabuza was about to finish speaking, he suddenly came to his senses and looked strangely at Saaki's black windbreaker with red clouds embroidered on it.

"Wait a minute, do you know him? Are you in the same organization as him?"

Zaoji recalled the scene when the eyebrowless guy gave him a meatball, and replied: "We had a bit of friendship, but it's a pity that he died so unexpectedly that I didn't have time to save him."

Zabuza raised his eyebrows, this man who seemed to know everything failed to save the person he wanted to save.

Lin looked at Saaki worriedly.

Saaki smiled reassuringly at Lin.

"I just lament that his death was too unexpected. After all, I can't save someone at any time just because I want to. I'm just a slightly stronger person."

Zabuza remembered the scene when he first met Loquat Juzo, and subconsciously tightened his grip on the beheading sword.

……

Time flies to a few days later

Zabuza was silent as he looked at a pile of documents on the table, and then looked at Saaki who was leaning against the window, eating meatballs and instructing Shiro on how to handle the herbs.

"No, why did you leave it all to me? Where is the person who came with you? Why is she gone?"

Zaoji chewed the meatballs and replied casually: "Let this company become a shipping company in the true sense."

"Can you accept this company's original business?"

"..."

Zabuza thought about those bills and the people who had been poisoned by what this company sold, and then sighed: "No."

"That's it." Zaoji took another bite of the meatball and said vaguely: "Remember to destroy all the things I left behind before, and then I can break off cooperation and other things if I can. If you can't break the list, leave it to me and I will solve it. , As for Lin’s partner, you can rest assured that she can solve it."

Anyway, there is still the guy like Yue Zeyi who can't be solved. He just has the temperament of a boy, not the knowledge and experience.

Zaoji was thinking about swallowing the pill, but suddenly remembered something and reminded him.

"An architect named Tatsuna from the Country of Waves ran away to Konoha some time ago when he was still under the control of Kado. There should be Konoha ninjas coming over in a while. Please be careful and don't get into trouble with the Konoha ninjas. Conflict, yes, there is also the matter of bridge construction in the Country of Waves, discuss with their daimyo about cooperation, the geographical location of the Country of Waves is very suitable for becoming the origin of seafood."

He was processing the documents without beheading, and was very dissatisfied: "Why don't you do it yourself! This is your company after all! I was just hired by you! And! I am a ninja! A ninja!"

"Can't hear, my ears are blind."

After finishing the meatballs, Saaki threw away the stick and covered his ears, which made Zabuza, who looked up at Saaki, speechless for a while.

But staring at Shiro who had finished handling the herbs, Saaki suddenly spoke.

"Please pay more attention to Guanzhao Bai. I think you actually care about her, right? You're not raising her as a child bride, right?"

Zabuza had a dark look on his face, and before he could speak, Shiro spoke first.

"Sir Hayaki, Shiro is a boy."

"..."(?.?)

"...?"?_?

"???"o_o

What Shiro said caused Saaki's originally plain face to change three expressions in an instant.

"M-Boy?"

It was the first time that Zabuza saw Zabuza with such a rich expression on Saki's face. His mood instantly improved a lot, and he mocked, "What? Did you always think Shiro was a girl?"

"..." Saaki turned his head and stared at Zabuza, then suddenly smiled.

Zabuza looked at that smile and suddenly froze, and the atmosphere in the office froze for a few seconds.

Then Saaki suddenly smiled and said.

"Work hard, my staff, and I'll check."

After saying that, the figure disappeared directly.

Zabuza was relieved to see Saaki leave, but he felt a little uneasy about what Saaki said before leaving.

Then he looked at the pile of documents on the table and sighed, let's deal with the documents first.

Then, that night, when Zabuza had finally finished processing the documents and was about to rest, he was sent another pile of documents, sent by Nohara Rin.

"..."

Zabuza stared silently at the papers that once again filled his desk.

It turned out to be waiting for me here.
