Therefore, disregarding his own safety, Zabuza went to assassinate Yagura.
However, he failed; he was no match for Yagura.
If Yagura hadn't refused to leave his cell, Zabuza probably wouldn't have survived.
Before leaving, Yagura Karatachi told him, "It's not that I'm afraid of death, but Kirigakure needs me."
Zabuza left with a hint of disappointment.
Gazing upon the war-torn Kirigakure, Zabuza chose to leave.
He did not trust the newly appointed fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei.
Later, Zabuza met Suigetsu and eventually obtained the Executioner's Blade, which also led to his acquaintance with Juzo Biwa.
Now, I've set foot on this land again and learned about the current situation of Kirigakure.
Zabuza suddenly realized that leaving back then was a mistake.
Mei Terumi did a great job, even stabilizing the situation in Kirigakure.
If it weren't for the invasion by the Cloud Village, everything would have been much better.
Zabuza also realized how foolish he had been to try to assassinate Yagura.
As a member of the Akatsuki organization, and given the series of changes that occurred in Kirigakure, Zabuza vaguely guessed that Yagura Karatachi was likely to meet with misfortune.
Even Utakata, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, is not in the village.
Otherwise, how could the Hidden Cloud Village dare to so blatantly invade the Hidden Mist Village?
This time, he insisted on bringing Shuiyue back to the Land of Water, not only to solve the mission but also to help the Hidden Mist Village.
I also want to see with my own eyes what Kirigakure has become.
If the village really does get better...
Lost in thought, a series of footsteps sounded.

......
On Jinlian Island.
Kakuzu, who landed the day before yesterday, lowered his hand from his head.
Feipu contacted him, informing him of Yugito's whereabouts and emphasizing that as long as he wasn't killed, it was fine.
Kakuzu was aware of the plan to extract the Tailed Beasts and had no intention of killing the Jinchuriki.
"Let's go, Hidan, it's time to get to work."
Kakuzu called out to Hidan and walked forward.
Hidan, carrying his newly forged scythe, followed closely behind.
He is still a reserve member and has not yet put on the Akatsuki's iconic black and fire cloud robes. He is still wearing his own fashionable attire.
Always at the forefront of trends.
"I can offer sacrifices to the evil god again! Hahaha."
Hidan was overjoyed.
Since being discovered by Kakuzu, he has been following Kakuzu as a new member of the Akatsuki organization.
Kakuzu has a variety of methods and always manages to create opportunities for Hidan to gain blood.
Because Hidan is immortal, Kakuzu can use ninjutsu without any worries.
After several missions, the two quickly developed a tacit understanding.
Hidan was responsible for killing and sacrificing to the evil god, while Kakuzu was only responsible for replenishing hearts and exchanging corpses for money.
In this way, both parties got what they wanted, and the cooperation was very pleasant.
Therefore, even Kakuzu, who treats his teammates as cannon fodder, will sometimes give in to Hidan.
After all, there's only one partner who's this compatible.
"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. This time, the target cannot be killed; he can only be severely wounded."
Upon hearing this, Hidan immediately expressed his dissatisfaction: "What's going on with the mission assignments?"
"This is completely contrary to our doctrine. The evil god cult glorifies killing, and its precepts prohibit incomplete killing."
Kakuzu comforted him, saying, "This mission is very important. Yugito is a key combat force of Kumogakure. If we take care of her, this war mission will be much easier."
Hidan covered his head with his hands, his earlier enthusiasm gone: "A mission that violates the precepts..."
...
Yukito led a small team of about twenty people from the stronghold. These people were agile and quick.
Their mission today is to gather intelligence and bring it back, then organize the Cloud Village forces to seize the Kirigakure stronghold in one fell swoop.
The group cautiously approached the Fog Shadow stronghold, but their caution was completely unnecessary.
Because they didn't encounter a single person along the way.
After landing on the island, the Cloud Village was constantly harassed by the Mist Village, which laid traps along the way.
But today, the mist seems to have vanished.
Suddenly, alarm bells rang loudly in Yu Muren's heart!
"careful!"
It was too late; Kakuzu, who had been lying in ambush, struck with lightning speed.
Wind escapes, suppresses harm!
A storm of chakra-laden pressure swept in like a tempest, engulfing Yugito and his team.
In desperation, Yugito had no choice but to transform into a half-beast, grabbing two teammates with one hand to dodge.
The fierce winds whipped up by the oppressive force swept up the surrounding trees and sand and gravel from the ground, rushing straight towards the clouds.
The remaining dozen or so Cloud Hidden were instantly blown away.
Only four people escaped; the rest were swept away by the wind.
"Who goes there?!" Yukito shouted angrily!
"The one who will take your life! Hahaha..."
Hidan descended from the sky, wielding a scythe.
He slashed at a Cloud Villager, who drew his sword, but because it was too short, he could only barely deflect the scythe.
The four elemental masks representing thunder, fire, wind, and water behind Kakuzu all popped out.
Taking advantage of Hidan blocking his view, Kakuzu immediately gathered lightning in his mouth with his lightning-attribute Earth Grudge Fear.
Lightning Release: False Darkness!
roar!
The lightning-attribute Earth Grudge Fear unleashed a sharp lightning arrow, striking directly at the Cloud Village where Hidan was battling.
Unexpectedly, Kakuzuki attacked along with his own people and was instantly struck by lightning.
Hidan and the two of them fell to the ground together.
On the other side, the water-attribute Earth Grudge spit out water bubbles, which hit the wood spirit's fireball squarely.
Squeak...squeak...squeak...
A cloud of steam rose from the scene.
"Akatsuki Organization!"
I caught a glimpse of Kakuzu's clothes.
Yugito immediately realized that the newcomers were members of the Akatsuki organization.
Unexpectedly, they were ambushed by the Akatsuki. How did the Akatsuki know their whereabouts?
Seeing Hidan lying on the ground and his companions beside him, Yugito looked at Kakuzu with anger and disgust:
"He really is a rogue ninja, even killing his own people."
Kakuzu chuckled softly: "So what?"
On the Cloud Village side, there were only five people left plus Yugito, while on Kakuzu's side, there were four Earth Grudges.
The ninjutsu I just unleashed was powerful; it cannot be ignored by the enemy.
Yugito's chakra surged and churned, and a blue light appeared on his body.
The cat demon form's chakra expanded and deepened in color. Yugito was completely transforming into a tailed beast.
At this moment, the Wind Release: Earth Grudge Fear beside Kakuzu suddenly opened its mouth wide.
Another strong storm is blowing.
They swept up the corpses on the ground and threw them towards Yunyin.
While dodging the wooden figure, he lunged at Kakuzu.
