Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was slumped on the ground behind him, spoke in an old and deep voice.
"Enough, Asuma, let's stop here."
Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice, Asuma's movements paused.
At the same time, a trace of relief, a trace of gratitude, and a trace of sadness flashed across his face.
Because in his memory, his father, as the Hokage, was always so kind and so considerate of others.
Even as he aged and his body deteriorated, he willingly burned himself out, handling official duties until late at night every day.
Although all of this has now been exposed as false and a facade.
He still hoped that his father had truly inherited the will of fire, but had simply gone astray.
Without Asuma's obstruction, Kakashi's Chidori instantly arrived in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Finally, it stopped steadily in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi's now composed, wrinkled old face.
Seeing Kakashi suddenly stop and not kill him, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed softly and said,
"Do it, Kakashi."
"Having completely lost, my life is now worthless and will no longer be of any help to Konoha."
"Afterward, just let Asuma announce to the public that the Third Hokage felt his sins were too great to face anyone and committed suicide at home."
Hiruzen Sarutobi actually admired Kakashi very much.
He also intended to cultivate him as Asuma's right-hand man after he took over as Hokage.
Otherwise, he would not have entrusted Naruto and Sasuke to Kakashi for guidance.
The incident with Sakumo Hatake back then was also an accident for him.
His original intention was to suppress the Konoha's White Fang's excessively high prestige and popularity.
But he never expected Sakumo Hatake's psychological resilience to be so poor that he would commit suicide at home!
Now that he had completely lost, his limbs crippled, and his prestige plummeted.
For him to commit suicide, his Hokage's pride would not allow him to do so.
But to die in the name of Kakashi's revenge was acceptable.
At least in the end, he could still leave a good impression on his youngest son, Asuma.
"Father..."
Asuma mumbled, but in the end, he didn't say anything to stop it.
If he were the old him who believed the important thing was the Hokage and the Daimyo, he might have stopped it.
But with his changed mindset, he felt that this outcome was better.
Kakashi's icy expression didn't diminish in the slightest as he heard Hiruzen Sarutobi's words.
"I'm not afraid of the punishment afterward, I just suddenly feel that Feng Xu was right, killing you like this is too easy for you."
As the words fell, two sword sounds that cut through the air rang out.
Clang! Clang!
Meeting Hiruzen Sarutobi's disbelieving gaze.
Two bloody arms flew into the sky.
Immediately after, Hiruzen Sarutobi's belated groan of pain finally rang out.
"Hmph!"
"Feng Xu said to cripple you, but unfortunately, he didn't do it perfectly enough; perhaps Tsunade Hime could still heal you."
Kakashi brandished the broken White Fang Blade, flicked the blood from it onto the ground, and then sheathed his sword.
"But now, this is truly crippling, the kind that can't be healed."
"Father!" Asuma quickly stepped forward, using Chakra to help Hiruzen Sarutobi stop the bleeding from his wounds.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's previously calm expression also vanished, replaced by a resentful stare at Kakashi.
Kakashi, having completed these tasks, had no intention of staying any longer.
He still had to thank Feng Xu for exposing the truth.
"Third, you just continue to live in humiliation."
"With Feng Xu's temper, I believe it won't be long before you become like me now."
This was Kakashi, like a lonely scarecrow,'s most sincere curse upon Hiruzen Sarutobi... Land of Rain, Amegakure.
This place, which usually rained all year round, surprisingly had a day without rain today.
And on the lake outside this Village, Zabuza, covered in bloodlust, and Feng Xu, wearing a mask, were treading on water.
"Boss, the person you're looking for is in this Amegakure?"
Feng Xu nodded: "Yes, but before we find them, we need to prepare some small gifts."
"Small gifts?" Zabuza was about to ask something else.
But he suddenly frowned, drew the Executioner's Blade from behind him, and vanished from his spot.
Just as Zabuza disappeared, under the water surrounding the two of them,
Three Rain Ninja, wearing rebreathers and holding Kunai, rushed out of the water.
"By order of Hanzou-sama!"
"Those who trespass into Amegakure shall be killed without mercy!"
However, as soon as the three rushed out and finished their slogan,
A flash of a snowy-white blade sliced across their necks.
Immediately after, three heads, still bearing angry expressions, flew into the sky.
"This Amegakure is as exclusive as ever, and the grunts below are as useless as ever."
"Can't they distinguish strength, or at least smell this dangerous scent of blood?"
Zabuza, whose body had been immersed in Nine-Tailed Chakra for a long time, and whose strength had further improved,
Very showily cracked his knuckles with one hand, making a 'click' sound.
At the same time, he held the Executioner's Blade horizontally with his other hand.
That's right, having followed Feng Xu for a long time, he also learned to crack his knuckles during battle, not fearing future bone spurs at all.
It's just a pity that his little fanboy Haku wasn't by his side; no matter how cool he acted, it couldn't impress Haku.
Instead, it made Feng Xu, who was beside him, twitch his mouth, wanting to hit someone.
"You crack your fingers well; next time, don't crack them again."
As he spoke, golden-red Chakra flashed around Feng Xu.
Then, a giant golden-red Chakra hand shot out with a whoosh.
"I forgot to tell you to leave one alive, but luckily there's a little mouse hiding under the water that hasn't come out yet."
Under the surface of the water.
The remaining Rain Ninja, who hadn't dared to act, heard Feng Xu's words.
He immediately leaped out of the water with a terrified expression.
Then, without looking back, he fled towards the Amegakure!
"It's good that you're afraid of death."
A smile tugged at the corner of Feng Xu's mouth.
The giant golden-red Chakra hand, like an arrow shot from a bow, instantly grabbed the Rain Ninja.
"Please spare me, sir!" The Rain Ninja, sensing the giant Chakra hand behind him, immediately stopped and knelt on the water.
Feng Xu also didn't beat around the bush and directly threatened him.
"Take me to Hanzou; if you don't want to die."
Chapter 127: Boss, give me five minutes!
"Where's the sake!"
Sitting on the tatami in the room.
Hanzou smashed the empty sake bottle on the ground.
Then, he roared at the constant noise from outside.
"Bring me sake quickly, you noisy fools!"
However, Hanzou shouted for a long time, but received no response at all.
"Damn it, where is everyone!"
"Are you all dead and pretending not to hear me?"
The furious Hanzou picked up the chain scythe next to him and got up, staggering out the door.
He absolutely had to chop up a few subordinates today to help them remember his terror!
But as soon as Hanzou opened the door, a pungent smell of blood assailed him.
Immediately after, he saw the pile of corpses on the ground.
Zabuza, who was choking his subordinate.
And Feng Xu, wearing a star mask!
"Damn it, who are you!"
"What is the meaning of coming to my Amegakure and killing my subordinates!"
Hanzou's drunkenness instantly cleared for the most part.
Feeling the dangerous aura emanating from the two in front of him.
He held his weapon across his chest, retreating while vigilantly watching Feng Xu and the other person.
That's right, before the fight even began, he was already planning to escape!
"Is this the Ninja known as the Demigod in the Second Great Ninja War?"
"With this kind of trash, he could defeat the Konoha's Sannin?"
Zabuza snapped the Rain Ninja's neck in his hand.
Then he brandished the Executioner's Blade in his hand, pointing it at Hanzou.
"Boss, you don't need to make a move; I can take care of him in five minutes."
Zabuza instinctively wanted to crack his fingers.
But remembering Feng Xu's warning just now, he instead slicked back his hair.
That's right, he learned this from Feng Xu too!
Feng Xu: "..."
"Next time, don't slick your hair either."
After once again forbidding Zabuza from imitating him,
Feng Xu leisurely found a place to sit down.
"If you don't want to die, then put away your contempt."
"The Konoha's Sannin earned their fame throughout the Ninja World by surviving against a Demigod."
Feng Xu was already too tired to complain about Zabuza's tradition of underestimating opponents and then getting beaten.
If it weren't for the Nine-Tailed Chakra he gave Zabuza as a backup,
