Chapter 320: Our Organization is About to Disband, So It Doesn't Have a Name…
After circling the Land of Waves a few times, Zabuza Momochi still hadn't quite come to his senses. He even stammered a bit as he spoke, "Our organization… the situation is rather complicated…"
"Take your time…"
Minato Namikaze smiled, speaking in a rather magnanimous tone, "For example, our organization's name, and what responsibilities it mainly undertakes in the ninja world…"
"…It doesn't have a name."
This was a bit awkward to say.
The very first question had stumped Zabuza.
This broken organization has been around for almost ten years, right? And it doesn't even have a name! It was probably because everyone thought the organization could dissolve at any time, at which point everyone would go their separate ways, so why bother bringing it up?
Their leader was a crow. Its strength was growing stronger and stronger, while its brain capacity was getting smaller and smaller. It was estimated that only when it encountered trouble that was difficult to handle would it remember one thing: Oh, it seems I still have an organization under me…
With a leader like that, the people under it were naturally also very lax, basically in a state of governing themselves. The members within the organization were divided into three factions according to their own classifications.
The strongest faction was, naturally, Itachi Uchiha. Because this was a person who had either been raised by the leader since childhood or had raised the leader. His contributions were great and his power was formidable. He currently controlled the Land of Fire and the number one ninja village in the ninja world.
Although Itachi had not yet succeeded as the Fifth Hokage, the Third Hokage above him had clearly given up on suppressing him. After all, the core strength of Konoha had, for various reasons, already sided with Itachi.
The most terrifying faction was definitely the Senju brothers, or you could say, the Senju grandfather and granddaughter, or you could say, the Senju master and disciple.
The fame of the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, goes without saying. Although this person's stance was neutral, he was very easily persuaded by his brother…
And Tobirama Senju, this Second Hokage known for his Water Style ninjutsu, had now seized a great deal of power within the organization through political maneuvering. He had even indirectly controlled a portion of the Hidden Mist Village's power through various means such as economics. This was a figure who could sit in the Mizukage's office.
Originally, with his identity, he should have been part of the Konoha faction. He had even served as Itachi's political teacher.
Unfortunately, the compatibility between the Senju and the Uchiha was not good. In recent years, Tobirama had tried to get his hands on Konoha's power again, but unfortunately for him, he had two pig teammates…
Whenever he had a plan that was beneficial for controlling Konoha, once it was detected by Hashirama or Tsunade, the two of them would gleefully tell Itachi. The Fifth Hokage would thus strike first, preemptively seizing the power of the Land of Fire and Konoha.
It was estimated that only that little disciple named Haku would not hold him back, wholeheartedly assisting his teacher and carrying out his missions without any ambiguity.
For Lord Tobirama, who lived such a difficult life, to still be able to become a figure that everyone in the organization paled at the mention of—how could one not be afraid?
The faction with the most members was the Hidden Mist Village, led by Kisame Hoshigaki. They were sometimes forced to obey Tobirama's command due to various problems, and sometimes colluded with the Uchiha due to personal preferences. In the end, they often just ended up as a salted fish.
Yet, this Lord Kisame was not one to admit defeat!
Every time he had a flash of inspiration, he would think he was a master strategist, only to have his confidence completely crushed by Tobirama…
The problem was, this one was also not an honest person…
Because of his identity, if Tobirama wanted to use the Mist Village to do anything, he had to go through Kisame to achieve it.
This ANBU Captain of the Mist was dissatisfied with being used without any power to fight back. His desire for power was not high, and every now and then, he might just slip away.
Under the fine-sounding name of 'I've defected'.
Of course, his courage was limited to defecting from the Hidden Mist. It wouldn't be long before he was dragged back by the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi.
In the entire Mist Village, and even the Land of Water, there might be people who were not convinced by Mei, but there would absolutely be no one who did not obey Kisame.
The shark-faced man had personally ended the Mist's 'Blood Mist Era' and the Land of Water's backward 'one nation, one village' system, completely leading the Land of Water onto the path of revival. And he basically didn't interfere much with the operations of the Land of Water and the Mist Village.
Lord Kisame held the greatsword Samehada, his strength was outstanding, and his contributions were extremely high, yet he had not the slightest ambition. He was just like an ordinary ninja, guarding his own village and country.
How could the Mist ninjas not respect him?
Therefore, with the Monster of the Mist, Kisame Hoshigaki, as the head, the Demon of the Mist, Zabuza Momochi, the Waterman of the Mist, Suigetsu Hozuki, as well as Ringo Ameyuri and the other new generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi, and the high-ranking official Ao, they formed the largest faction in terms of members.
"That's pretty much the situation within the organization. Our base is in the Land of Waves, and all daily affairs are managed by Lord Tobirama…"
After Zabuza finished his introduction, he summarized, "In conclusion, our organization is formidable, has many masters, and our sphere of control covers the Land of Water, the Land of the Sea, the Land of Tea, and many other places in the Land of Fire…"
"Of course, because the members are too diverse, our organization is also on the verge of dissolution at any time… Lord Tobirama himself has said that once he leaves the world of the living, if no one is willing to take over, the organization will immediately fall apart."
"…"
This time, it was Minato's turn to be in a daze.
What kind of organization had he joined?!
Were they here to subvert Madara, or to subvert the ninja world?
Zabuza continued to introduce, "Currently, our organization's actions are all righteous, mainly to destroy Orochimaru's bases and to hunt down the Akatsuki…"
"…"
Minato nodded.
Alright, at least this part sounded proper.
A moment later, as if he had remembered something, a smile appeared on his face. "Perhaps the organization's mission will be over soon. Orochimaru intends to join the organization…"
"This matter?"
Zabuza shook his head violently and whispered in Minato's ear, "You must never mention this in front of Lord Tobirama. He hates Orochimaru's guts!"
"Because both Lord First Hokage and Lord Tobirama were reanimated because of Orochimaru!"
"…Actually, I was also revived by Orochimaru's Edo Tensei…" As Minato spoke, his expression was particularly innocent.
Zabuza shook his head with a look of pity. "Now it seems it will be difficult for that guy Orochimaru to get past Lord Tobirama's resolution, unless Lord Itachi is willing to provide him with asylum…"
"…He probably will, right?"
Minato frowned. He knew everything. Orochimaru and Itachi had already reached a cooperative decision.
After the topic passed.
Zabuza, as if remembering something, suddenly said, "I forgot to mention, I heard that that little brat Naruto is Lord Fourth Hokage's son… Not long ago, Lord Itachi Uchiha signed him up for an intern position within the organization."
"What… do you mean?"
"That is to say, Lord Fourth Hokage should be cautious in choosing a faction!" The Demon of the Mist said earnestly, "Because Naruto Uzumaki is part of Lord Itachi's faction!"
"If you join the Former Hokage faction led by Lord Tobirama, you will often be in competition with your own son on missions!"
"How could it be that troublesome…"
Minato smiled and waved his hands repeatedly. "It doesn't sound like the organization has a lot of manpower. I think you're exaggerating, Zabuza-kun!"
