Chapter 6: You're the Unscientific Weapon Craftsman of the Hidden Sand Village
(Hello, translator here, the translation is an mtl so the techniques are probably wrong so please leave a comment If you now what the damn techniques .)
The chilling aura emanating from Mukaze made Rasa extremely nervous.
His face, concealed by a veil, tightened.
His complexion turned ashen.
Rasa knew all too well what kind of person Mukaze truly was.
Despite his constant smile, portraying himself as a friendly and prosperous businessman, Mukaze was capable of ruthless actions.
Three years ago, when somebody attacked the village, Rasa, a seasoned warrior, found the aftermath horrifying.
Rasa: "Then... give it a try."
He couldn't afford to lose face as the Kazekage.
Mukaze smiled.
"No need to be nervous. If I wanted to, I would have already acted."
"I will make sure you willingly agree to this."
Rasa: "It's impossible. I will never agree."
Mukaze chuckled.
"With the village's financial difficulties, I imagine it's close to being bankrupt."
Rasa snorted.
You're asking me something you already know.
Mukaze: "I have a scientific method to improve the village's financial situation in a short period of time. If I succeed, I hope you will agree to cooperate."
Rasa sarcastically remarked, "You're not planning to hand over your precious gold, right? Is that your scientific solution?"
"No, no," Mukaze shook his head repeatedly. "I will use scientific methods to save the village from its financial crisis."
Rasa didn't believe Mukaze.
"We'll see when you actually accomplish it."
"When I do, I hope you'll cooperate with me."
Mukaze's eyes flashed with a fierce determination.
"If you don't cooperate, I won't hesitate to take measures to become the Kazekage."
Rasa clenched his fist.
Once I defeat Konoha, I will come back and deal with you.
"Oh, by the way!"
As Mukaze approached the door, he suddenly turned back.
"What is it?" Rasa asked nervously.
Mukaze glanced at Rasa, not wanting to remind him to not play with fire.
"I'll be leaving the village for a while."
"Remember not to send anyone after Gaara or have any intentions to harm him."
"He's a human, not your war machine."
"If I come back and find anything suspicious, I'll still hold you accountable."
Rasa's fists crackled.
...
In the nights of Sunagakure, the temperature was the complete opposite of the daytime, dropping below freezing.
Hence, there weren't many people out during the night.
The streets were deserted and cold.
Gaara, carrying his large gourd, sat alone on a rooftop, gazing at the moon.
With a swoosh, Mukaze appeared beside him.
"Why are you still awake so late?"
"Is Shukaku nagging you again?"
Due to Shukaku's incessant nagging day and night, Gaara had suffered from severe insomnia since childhood.
Once Mukaze's power surpassed Kage level, he had given Shukaku a good beating.
Shukaku promised not to bother Gaara anymore.
"I'll treat Gaara well. Stop hurting him."
Only then did Mukaze let it go.
Gaara shook his head.
"No, it's just a habit."
"Mukaze-sensei, is the oil you mentioned really useful?"
Mukaze nodded proudly.
"Of course, with oil, as long as it's utilized properly, Sunagakure can become the richest and strongest village in the ninja world."
Mukaze observed Gaara's expression, which remained unchanged.
He asked, "It seems like you're not interested in it."
Gaara had been treated as a monster by the villagers since childhood, and even his beloved uncle tried to kill him. From that moment on, he closed his heart.
He had no emotional attachment to the village or its people.
"If it's what sensei wants, I will support it."
Mukaze was the only one in the village who had always been good to him.
Mukaze patted Gaara's head.
"Alright, at least you have a life goal now."
"When you interact with more diverse people in the future, you may develop new life goals."
"Gaara, the Chunin Exams are in two months, so if you're leaving the village for anything, don't forget to keep training"."
Gaara obediently responded, "Yes."
...….
Two weeks later.
Land of Waves.
On the unfinished bridge across the sea.
Gato, with a group of henchmen, blocked one end of the bridge.
At this moment,
Team 7 and Zabuza Momochi's battle was reaching its final stages.
Haku died.
Sakura hugged "Haku's" body and cried in pain.
Naruto Uzumaki was filled with grief.
Zabuza Momochi and Kakashi Hatake fought until they were exhausted.
Kakashi depleted his chakra.
Zabuza Momochi's arms were already useless.
They all looked towards Gato.
Gato approached with a sly smile.
"Perfect, just as planned."
He even kicked Haku's body a few times as he passed by.
That damn ninja dared to crush his arm.
Gato's disrespectful behavior towards Haku's corpse filled Naruto, Kakashi, and others with indignation.
Gato said, "You are all finished. Now let me kill all of you, and I won't have to pay any commission. I can take control of the Land of Waves."
Tears welled up in Zabuza's eyes as he activated his Mouth Release. (what the hell man, how would I know what mouth release is?)
He was prepared to borrow a kunai from Kakashi.
Even if I don't have hands, I'll use my mouth to kill you and avenge Haku.
Suddenly, something unexpected happened.
A dark figure appeared in the sky above.
It swiftly descended towards the bridge.
Clang, clang, clang.
Everyone present had their kunai and swords trembling in their hands, making metallic noises.
Even the steel bridge shook slightly.
A dazzling light flashed.
Mukaze appeared in the open space between Gato and Zabuza.
"Fortunately, I arrived just in time."
Everyone looked at this man with the forehead protector of the Sand Village, his hair covered by a white cloth, and a friendly expression on his face.
Kakashi recalled the records of ninja from various villages in his village.
He exclaimed, "You're the Sand Village's unscientific ninja tool user."
"Mukaze?!"
