Looking at Naruto, who was just five kilometers away and had arrived beside them in the next moment, Ao, the one with the keenest perception among them, was startled. He subconsciously adopted a defensive posture.
At the same time, he couldn't help but be amazed in his heart: As expected of the inheritor of the Flying Thunder God Technique, which is famous throughout the Ninja World. This speed is too terrifying. Back then, Konoha's Shisui of the Body Flicker was far inferior to him. As expected of the Fourth Hokage's signature technique.
At this moment, Terumi Mei and Chojuro, who had also reacted, were also wary, but they restrained themselves from showing too much distrust.
After all, they were not here to fight.
Only Zabuza and Haku were extremely calm, because they had already personally experienced Naruto's great strength.
This was an existence who could easily defeat them with just Taijutsu, without even using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Perhaps even the resurrected Ninja God of the past would be no more than this.
"Good evening."
Naruto spoke, greeting them in a calm tone, with no intention of attacking.
This greatly eased the atmosphere, and Zabuza gave a stiff smile, "Good evening, Lord Naruto. The reason I invited you here this time is because I have a mission I would like to ask for your help with."
Zabuza didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly, while pointing to Terumi Mei and the others beside him, briefly introducing their identities and names: "These are ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village. They share the same aspirations as me and have long been dissatisfied with the Fourth Mizukage's rule, wanting to overthrow his Blood Mist Policy."
"Soon, we will launch a coup to overthrow the Fourth Mizukage. At that time, we hope to get your help, Lord Naruto. Don't worry, we will pay you a Super S-Rank mission reward."
"Three hundred million taels!"
"What do you think?"
Terumi Mei, as the person in charge, also spoke:
"Hello, Lord Naruto. What Zabuza said is completely true. After the mission is completed, the mission reward will be paid to you in full. If you agree to accept the mission, we will first give you a deposit of thirty million taels."
Naruto originally wanted to refuse, but these people were offering too much.
Therefore, a warm smile like that of facing God appeared on Naruto's face, and the words of refusal that were about to come out of his mouth turned into: "Okay, no problem. I'm free these days and can do it anytime."
At this time, Naruto suddenly thought that if he helped Zabuza, Terumi Mei, and others complete the coup, in addition to the three hundred million taels of cash he could get, there were actually many hidden benefits.
After this, if he were to do business in the Land of Water, in the territory of the Hidden Mist Village, wouldn't he make a lot of money with Terumi Mei and Zabuza, these local snakes, as his protectors?
Moreover, Naruto was not afraid of Obito at this moment.
If Black Zetsu came along, that would be even better.
Although the powerful Sealing Technique against Black Zetsu had not been completed yet, he could first use the Eight Trigrams Sealing to give him the same dog tag as Orochimaru, and there would be plenty of ways to deal with them later.
Thinking this way, Naruto became more and more excited about the mission issued by Terumi Mei and the others.
Instead of looking for Obito, who was nowhere to be found, it was better to wait for him to come to his door himself.
Seeing Naruto agree, both Zabuza and Terumi Mei breathed a long sigh of relief.
The Hidden Mist Village at this moment was undoubtedly the weakest it had ever been in history.
After years of the Blood Mist Policy, many of the powerful Bloodline Limit families in the entire Hidden Mist Village, as well as many powerful ninja sword users, were either dead or had fled.
The Hidden Mist Village, although still bearing the name of one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, and still having a large number of ninjas, had very few experts left in the entire village, probably only slightly stronger than some medium-sized ninja villages.
The remnants of the Bloodline Limit families, led by Terumi Mei, gathered all the ninja who were secretly dissatisfied with the Fourth Mizukage's policies. Coupled with Terumi Mei's own strength, they were confident enough to launch this coup and assassinate the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura.
However, the Fourth Mizukage was not to be trifled with. Not only was he powerful himself, but he also had many subordinates.
At that time, even if Terumi Mei and the others succeeded in the coup, the strength of the entire Hidden Mist Village would be greatly reduced, leaving behind an even worse mess than it is now.
If possible, they didn't want to expend too much of their own strength to complete the coup.
This way, when they took over the Hidden Mist Village, they could better and faster redevelop the village and get through the current period of weakness.
Therefore, they came up with the idea of finding trustworthy experts to help.
Not long ago, after hearing Zabuza's proposal, Terumi Mei sent someone to Konoha to inquire in detail about Naruto Uzumaki.
Unexpectedly, they discovered that he was not only the son of the Fourth Hokage, but also the Nine Tails Jinchuriki.
Logically speaking, such a person should be a staunch supporter of the Hokage lineage.
However, through collecting some of Naruto's usual actions and the details of his contact with Zabuza, it can be seen that.
Due to the Hidden Leaf Village's policy towards Jinchuriki, Naruto has no sense of belonging to the so-called village.
And Naruto himself is a person with extremely strong opinions.
Now, Naruto and the village are in a state of peaceful coexistence. Even if he knows the news of their Hidden Mist Village, he will not and does not need to sell their news to Konoha.
And taking advantage of this contact, if there is a chance in the future to trick this Nine Tails Jinchuriki into the Hidden Mist Village, that would be even more profitable.
And this is the reason why Terumi Mei and Zabuza and others finally decided to invite Naruto to help.

Success is gratifying, and failure is not a big deal, without too many future troubles.
The most gratifying thing is that Naruto actually agreed to their invitation!
Terumi Mei, relieved, began to confirm the specific time of the mission with Naruto.
After contacting Naruto, a master with strategic significance, Terumi Mei decided to launch a coup in a month to overthrow the rule of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura.
During this period, Terumi Mei will make all preparations for the coup and everything after the coup is successful.
In order to ensure taking over the most complete Hidden Mist Village.
After discussing it, Terumi Mei took out the thirty million taels she had brought from the sealing scroll and handed it to Naruto.
"This is the deposit."
Naruto took the deposit, reached out and shook her hand, and the two smiled at each other: "Happy cooperation."
After that, Naruto took out a Three-Pronged Kunai and gave it to Terumi Mei.
"Then I'll take my leave, see you again."
Terumi Mei put away the Kunai and turned to leave with Ao and Chojuro.
Naruto did not leave immediately. He turned to look at Zabuza beside him: "Have you discussed who will be the Mizukage between you and Terumi Mei after the coup is successful?"
The corner of Zabuza's mouth twitched. He had really thought about this question before.
It's a pity that the strength gap between the two sides was indeed a bit large. Although Terumi Mei's fight against Zabuza wasn't as easy and carefree as Naruto's, it was still a crushing level of strength difference. Zabuza was simply no match for her.
Fortunately, in order to gain Zabuza and his subordinates' wholehearted support, Terumi Mei promised him the position of Anbu Captain.
In Naruto's disappointed eyes, Zabuza rejected his suggestion to add 100 million to become Mizukage.
Zabuza, who had been profoundly educated by reality, already deeply understood his own capabilities.
Actually, the Anbu Captain isn't bad either!
And this made Naruto sigh with regret.
His original plan to discuss with Terumi Mei, giving her 50 million, and letting Zabuza be the Mizukage for a while fell through.
