Naruto's search for Zabuza was a temporary idea, mainly because although he had watched the original anime, and knew that there's still a lot of Kekkei Genkai users out there, it was not clear who owned them. Therefore, seeing Zabuza successfully take over Gato's minions, it was better for him to let other people take care of it.
Take advantage of it and develop it into an intelligence stronghold.
After all, there was still a long way to go for him to become unstoppable so he needed to collect all kinds of information constantly.
And Zabuza should be very familiar with intelligence work from when he was in Anbu.
Next, Naruto and Zabuza carefully planned the focus of future work.
1. Mainly based on information on Kekkei Genkai holders.
Second, pay attention to the information about Tailed Beast.
Third, pay attention to the Akatsuki organization.
Fourth, collect some other mysterious info about things in the ninja world, such as dragon veins.
"Now that we've formed an organization, what's its name?"
No longer unwilling to join Naruto's team.
Although there were only three ninjas on this team, Naruto, Zabuza, and Haku.
The rest were ordinary people.
"Hmm... Let's use [Soul Reapers] as the code name, an organization that operates in the shadows of the ninja world and exists like a ghost.
Naruto thought for a while and said.
"It's quite suitable for me." Zabuza nodded.
"In return, after I become Hokage, I can contact Mist Shinobi and cancel your missing-nin status, so you can go back and have a look."
Zabuza nodded his head.
"Let's wait until you become Hokage."
He heard Naruto say that after the Fourth Mizukage woke up from the Genjutsu, Mist ended its bloody politics and was recuperating.
'But if I can return to Mist Shinobi in a normal way, it's not a bad way.'
"This is for you."
Naruto took out a scroll and threw it to Zabuza.
"What is this?"
Zabuza took a look and found out that there were many ninjutsus recorded in it, and they were all Water Style ninjutsu!
"This is…"
Water Style·Water Burst Wave, Water Style·Five Food Shark, Water Style·Great Waterfall, Water Style·Water Dragon Bomb, Water Style·Water Flow Technique, Water Style·raging burst, Water Style·Water Shark, Water Style·Water Barrier, Water Style·Iron Bullet Cannon, Water Style·Mouth of Evil.
"Are they Second Hokage's Water Style ninjutsu?!"
Zabuza looked at the eleven Water Style ninjutsu recorded in the scroll and asked excitedly.
"It's just part of it, so just know that I won't let you do things for me for nothing."
"You already have the money now, the only difference is strength. Although you are from Mist Shinobi, you don't know many Water Style ninjutsu, especially the Water Dragon Bomb, which you don't know how to shorten its seals. With such a long seal, the enemy will have already run away while you complete the seal."
Naruto complained.
"Water Dragon Bomb? What's wrong with its seal, it can be used smoothly... What?! Only four seals?!"
Zabuza found the Water Dragon Bomb Technique recorded in the scroll could be performed with only 4 hand seals and was shocked!
"Are you kidding! Is this what Second Hokage is all about? It can be simplified into four seals!!"
Zabuza stared at the scroll in disbelief. He didn't expect that he would need to make only 4 Seals for the Water Dragon Bomb jutsu.
After all, Senju Tobirama, in addition to developing the Forbidden Techniques in the name, was also one of the best water ninjutsu users.
"In short, your work will start tomorrow, and you can also bring in some reliable ninjas to strengthen the organization. In addition, as for the code name, it is named after [ghost + number]. I am ghost zero, you are ghost one, and on the surface you are the leader, and Haku is ghost two. Only when you pass the test can you become a full-fledged member. I will talk about this later. "
"Also, I will send my Clone to exchange information with you from time to time, and you can also communicate with my Clone if you have anything to do.
Naruto explained the details.
Zabuza again noded, keeping it in mind.
If he was still a little bit upset before, then after getting so many Water Style ninjutsu, that emotion had disappeared.
You know, ninjutsu was not easily taught in the ninja world.
After all, apprentices and masters turning against each other, father and son killing each other, and friends betraying each other were common things in the ninja world, so under such a premise, who would not keep some secrets, just in case.
Otherwise, why did Genin, a civilian who just graduated from ninja school, only knew the basic Three Body Technique when he was promoted to Chūnin.
Sakura, who was able to call Tsunade as a teacher and learn precise chakra control and ninjutsu like Hundred Healings , was extremely lucky.
The next day, Naruto kept his promise and released Haku. At this moment, Haku was still in a daze thinking that the current time was still more than ten days ago.
In addition, there was also Zabuza's sword, and Naruto also gave it back.
Zabuza touched the sword, satisfied, "I don't want to be away from it."
However, Naruto said that this sword was really not great, and it felt useless.
After Naruto said a few words, he left directly.
Hearing those words, Zabuza cursed a lot.
…
Returning back to the village, Naruto undid the Shadow Clone, and found out that nothing unusual happened overnight.
After a day off, Kakashi continued to lead team 7 to do missions.
Today was a bit different though, Kakashi suddenly disbanded the team after seeing a hawk flying in the sky.
"Everyone, let's stop here today, I have to submit a mission report later."
After Kakashi finished speaking, he left directly.
"Then I'll go home too." Sasuke spoke the same line as usual.
"Sa-Sasuke-kun, why don't we deepen our team bond together?"
Sakura said expectantly.
"If you have nothing to do, go and practice ninjutsu."
"...Damn it! Failed again!" Sakura thought sadly.
"Indeed, no matter what I do, I am the most useless."
"You are not without talent, it's just that you are not suitable for ninjutsu."
Naruto leaned against the wall and said lazily.
"Naruto! Do you have any good suggestions for me?"
Because Naruto didn't like Sakura like his predecessor, Sakura's attitude towards Naruto was still very friendly, not to mention that Naruto was powerful!
Sakura thought that if Sasuke was not more handsome, Naruto would be a good choice.
"If you want to help Sasuke, learn medical ninjutsu. Your control over Chakra is very delicate, and you have a good talent for medical ninjutsu."
"Medical ninjutsu?"
Sakura remembered how Naruto treated Sasuke on the bridge that day, and her eyes lit up.
"I will learn it!!"
"In this way, I can touch Sasuke~hehehe~"
Sakura blushed and fell into fantasy.
"Love brain, it's really scary..."
Naruto left silently.
In the Hokage building, the Third Hokage solemnly spoke to the Elite Jōnin, Chūnin, and instructors:
"Now, I officially announce that we will conduct the Chūnin selection exam in seven days' time on July 1st!"
