Zabuza slowly calmed down and asked.
"So, what exactly do you want?"
"I want you to kill Gato and his men. Then, you will fight our team and you and your accomplice will be declared dead."
"But underneath it, you will be given half of Gato's wealth, and half of it will be returned to the people of the Waves."
"You can return to Mist and support the rebels. I am pretty sure they will accept it with open hands."
Naruto explained.
Zabuza narrowed his eyes and asked.
"And, how can I trust you?"
"Because I plan to use Gato and his man to kill the Daimyo and his forces of the Wave." Naruto answered.
Hearing his words, Zabuza's eyes widened. Even Haku was stunned.
"A-a-are you kidding me? Do you understand what would happen if other Daimyo learned about it?"
"But how will they learn about it? Will you guys tell them? Will I go and tell them? Daimyo will die at Gato's hands. Gato will die at your hands. And, you will die at our hands."
"That's how everyone will see it." Naruto answered.
Zabuza snorted and said.
"And, how do you plan to make Gato kill Daimyo? Are you going to control him with Genjutsu?"
Naruto shook his head and made a Ram Sign and suddenly, smoke appeared around him before revealing a short middle-aged man with glasses and a suit.
"You see, my Transformation Technique isn't just an illusion. It is an actual transformation."
Zabuza's eyes widened when he saw Naruto transforming into Gato. At this moment, even he as an Elite Jonin wasn't able to see through Naruto's disguise.
And, that's the problem. The normal Transformation Technique is just an E-Rank Jutsu that casts an illusion over them.
But what Naruto was doing changed this completely. He was changing the structure of his body from the cellular level, more importantly, it wasn't changing anything inside him.
That means he was still the same Naruto except his exterior appearance has changed into Gato.
"It seems like you can easily deceive Gato's men. But, how do you plan to make this known to others? I mean, knowing Gato's and Wave's Daimyo's connection, others could still assume that you killed the Daimyo."
Zabuza asked.
Hearing his words, Naruto smiled and said.
"That means you agree to my plan."
Zabuza paused for a moment and said.
"Well, if I can get half of Gato's wealth, I have no reason to disagree."
He truly wanted to fight Naruto and his team but there were a lot of people on the opponent's side and more importantly, he was afraid that Haku won't be able to defeat Naruto.
"Then, I will capture Gato first and then start my plan."
Saying so, Naruto walked out of the room as Gato. But, he concealed his presence while searching around the building.
Eventually, he found Gato in his room. Without any hesitation, he entered the room and knocked Gato from the back.
He kidnapped Gato and took him to Zabuza's room.
"Keep him here! Once daimyo is dead, I will return."
Naruto/Gato walked out of the room. This time, he openly walked around and saw the Gato's most trusted.
"Saku, come here!" He shouted.
Saku was a tall man with a wide chest. He had a black beard reaching his neck and a bald head.
"Weren't you in your room?"
"Yes, I was and I got a new idea for expanding our business." Naruto showed an evil smile as he spoke.
"Oh, what did you come up with?" Saku knowing just how outrageous yet amazing ideas Gato could come up with asked immediately.
He knew Gato was already planning on killing Zabuza and his accomplices after their fight with those ninjas from Konoha.
This way he can not only prevent the bridge from being completed but also spend no money on Zabuza.
Unlike Ninjas, Samurai didn't cost a lot to hire. So, he had hired a lot of them but to defeat those ninjas, he needed ninjas, not Samurai.
"Let's kill Daimyo tonight and put the blame on Zabuza." Naruto moved closer to him and whispered.
Saku's eyes widened.
"Are you sure? This could get ugly if the words get out."
"That won't happen if I become Daimyo of Waves. Besides, Zabuza will die on that bridge."
Naruto had the most evil smirk he could make.
Saku gulped down once and nodded.
"I will gather our best and most loyal men in your room."
"Good!" Naruto nodded and walked toward his room.
After fifteen minutes, nearly twenty samurai were gathered inside his room.
"Lord Gato, do you have any instruction?" One of the loyal samurai asked with an evil glint on his face.
"Yes, I have one of the most important tasks for you guys. If you finish this task, not only we can get a lot of money but also complete control over the Waves."
Naruto smirked as he spoke.
Everyone looked at him attentively as he continued.
"Tonight, I want you guys to go and kill Daimyo. Do not leave a single soul to escape. And, it must be completed tonight."
Every single samurai looked at him with wide eyes. But, eventually, they all showed a bloodthirsty look.
Naruto was also showing his evil smirk but thinking something completely different.
'Normally, a dead body will give a lot of information to ninjas. So, I can't attack them or Daimyo. I must let these people kill Daimyo and return here before Zabuza kills them.'
"But why tonight?" One of the Samurai asked.
"Because Zabuza's partner will arrive tomorrow and the battle will start on the bridge the day after tomorrow. If Zabuza changes his mind tomorrow, I need you guys here."
Only then, do those Samurai understand and nod their heads.
"Will you come with us?" Saku asked.
Naruto shook his head and said.
"I mustn't appear near daimyo otherwise Ninjas could find some proof against me. The only reason I am letting you guys kill them is because you kill with your swords and Zabuza does the same."
Saku nodded his head and said.
"Alright then, we will leave for Daimyo's palace right now. Once we finish the job, we will return."
"Good! Now leave." Naruto spoke.
All of them left except for Saku. He looked at Gato and asked.
"Aren't you worried about Zabuza attacking you when we are not here?"
"He won't know that you guys are missing right now. He is busy right now." Naruto replied.
Saku nodded his head with understanding and left the room as well. After they left, Naruto was finally alone in the room.
He didn't leave immediately. Instead, he created a shadow clone and let it follow those Samurai.
It was already evening. His men were already leaving the building.
Daimyo's Palace was quite far from Gato's building. It was almost at the middle of the Wave Island. More importantly, it was completely different from other houses in Wave.
Because of the economic situation of Wave, everyone had a difficult life but, here things were different. It wasn't just Daimyo living a good life but also the people around him.
These people were the ones who had a connection with Daimyo and settled near his house.
When those Samurai came there, they didn't strike until it was nighttime. And, when they started fighting, Naruto finally realized why Gato had the confidence to kill Zabuza or their team.
Of course, these Samurai weren't that strong but they didn't need to be. They were fast and strong enough to kill an injured Jonin. And, that would be the result of Zabuza's battle with his team.
Either one or both teams will get injured.
And, that would be the moment when he would strike.
Naruto's shadow clone didn't get too close. He simply just observed the Samurai finishing Daimyo and his family.
The guards weren't that strong. Considering that he was a Daimyo, it was surprising since Fire Daimyo had Twelve Elite Jonin-level guards and armies of Samurai.
But, considering how this Daimyo never took care of his own village, Naruto didn't expect much from him otherwise he wouldn't have given this kind of job to Gato's men.
After all, they were just Samurai, not Ninjas.
After they finished the job, it was midnight when they returned. After they returned, they immediately went to find Gato.
Naruto's close diapered and the memories appeared in his mind. When he found that the job was done, he finally let out a smile.
A few seconds later, the door knock was heard.
"Come in!" Naruto spoke.
"Job is done!" Saku spoke.
"Good job! Now, go get your rest. I also need some sleep." Naruto spoke while faking his yawn and moving toward a large bed on the side.
When Saku and his men left the room, Naruto quickly changed his looks and returned to Zabuza's room.
"You finally returned. Does that mean Daimyo is dead?" Zabuza spoke from the couch. Haku was still standing next to him.
"Yes, finish the job here and find us on the bridge tomorrow! And, don't worry about finding his wealth here. I have already taken it." Naruto spoke and suddenly turned into a puff of smoke.
"Shadow clone!" Zabuza clicked his teeth. He stood up with an annoyed expression.
"Are you ready, Haku?"
"Yes, Lord Zabuza!"
