Chapter 549 A Man Who Likes to Kill
"Don't invite me, grandpa. Bai and I are here to deliver goods."
Zabuza pointed towards the tourist area behind him.
"..."
Kakashi was used to Zabuza's "refined and easygoing" manner.
However, since Zabuza wasn't invited to deal with the opponents, it means that the opponents from Kirigakure weren't much of a threat.
There's no need for Mizukage to use every available power.
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense.
Now that several countries have formed an alliance, if a problem really arises, they won't just turn to Kisame.
As for delivery?
Kakashi recalled that he seemed to have heard that the Land of Waves had become an important trading port for overseas and mainland trade.
Delivering goods is normal.
"Delivering goods? What brings you here?"
Kakashi asked.
"What's up? Of course there's something, Kakashi. Tell me, did you write this thing?"
Zabuza pulled a book out of his pocket and threw it directly at Kakashi's face.
"Which book is this?"
Kakashi did not deny it immediately.
After all, this isn't the first or second time he's taken the blame for someone else's work.
I need to check the book title first to confirm.
Upon hearing this, Zabuza laughed in anger: "Which one? Kakashi, you born to be something else, just how many bizarre novels have you written?"
"Do you remember how many rice balls you've eaten... No, I mean, I didn't write this book, I've never even heard of it—what's wrong with this book?"
After reading the book title, Kakashi searched his memory and gave his answer.
He claims Kakashi is the first author, but he feels he can compete for the title of first reader.
The novel that even he hasn't read, could it be a recent release?
"It tells the story of a heartless guy who loves to slash, who wanders with a boy who uses ice and looks like a girl."
This inhuman guy is going to duel with a pretentious white-haired man with unusual eyes and wearing a visor.
Zabuza explained the contents of the passage to Kakashi in the most straightforward, simple, and direct way.
"..."
Kakashi fell silent again after hearing this.
Because he couldn't be sure whether this story was just him being overly sensitive.
After all, he had just angered the young girl who was simply telling a story by constantly bringing up the Uchiha massacre in Konoha.
"Kakashi, you bastard, don't play dumb with me! Still pretending you don't understand?!"
Zabuza was enraged when he saw Kakashi's expression.
He was just curious because he saw Kakashi and his group making a big fuss over here next door, so he came over to take a look and ask a question.
Now Kakashi is pretending not to understand, isn't that just a classic case of protesting too much?
It really was written by Kakashi!
This book is titled "The Biography of Su Nuo"!
"Wait, Zabuza, don't get agitated. I'm not pretending. I'm just surprised at how coincidental this story could be..."
Kakashi hurriedly waved his hand to explain.
"Heh, Kakashi is still putting on airs in front of me? 'How could there be such a coincidence in the world?' Bah!"
Those stories you wrote about "Super Man Paradise" and "Limited Tsukuyomi"—which one of them wasn't a coincidence that perfectly matched people in the real ninja world?
I hadn't suspected you at first, but now you've exposed yourself, Kakashi!
Zabuza looked at Kakashi with disdain.
At this moment, even Nanami Hoshigaki, who had just been chatting away with Kakashi, gave Kakashi a disdainful look after watching this good show.
She despises pretentious people the most.
Take Kakashi for example. He's clearly a decent person, but he always pretends to be a gentleman in front of others.
Take Naruto Uzumaki for example. He's a bond-type ninja, but he still uses a ninjutsu like the "Shutsu" to pretend that he likes girls.
"I... never mind, you wouldn't believe me no matter what I say now. Just assume I wrote it. Is there anything in this that's meant to slander you?"
Kakashi had no choice but to compromise.
Once the conversation has blown up, it's too late to try to argue... no, to explain.
Any explanation he makes at this point will sound like a sophistry.
We can only agree to it for now and then try to find a way to make up for it.
Just like what he's saying now.
After he took the book, he glanced at the title on the cover and flipped through it a few times.
In just a few moments, he had secretly used the Sharingan's dynamic vision to complete quantum speed reading and successfully saw some of the contents.
Compared to the Power Man series or the limited Tsukuyomi series, the content is not only bland but also practically plain water.
That's perfectly normal.
Kakashi could only say that Zabuza's words just now were probably not a lie. Zabuza genuinely didn't initially believe that he was the author of the book. It was only because his behavior was so unusual that Zabuza became suspicious.
I thought that once this problem arose, the matter would be over.
Unexpectedly, Zabuza immediately flipped the book to the first paragraph, pointed to the contents, and showed them to Kakashi: "Yes, let's leave the later parts aside for now. I read the beginning, and you didn't write anything about bonds or anything like that on me, but! What is this?"
"Yeah, what is this?" Kakashi wanted to know too.
This wasn't written by him at all. He only read a few parts of the story using quantum speed reading. How could he know about the beginning?
Kakashi looked in the direction Zabuza was pointing.
Now he understood what Zabuza meant.
The protagonist of this book, the one Zabuza described earlier who loves slashing, is inhuman, and wants to fight a special person with white hair and special eyes covered by a mask, was regarded as a monster when he was a child. The villagers feared his power, and he was ostracized, driven away, and even surrounded and killed by the villagers.
This beginning, this cause, let's connect it to the plot of Quantum Speed.
Is this definitely called "The Biography of Sukuna" and not "The Biography of Darkened Naruto"?
Zabuza wasn't bullied when he was a child; his story is famous throughout the ninja world—he single-handedly wiped out all his classmates.
Zabuza is now questioning him about why, even though the story was based on him, the opening dark turn story used Naruto instead.
Naruto is Kakashi's disciple, so isn't this a case of him taking advantage of Zabuza?
……
Kakashi racked his brains for a long time, but still couldn't figure out how to solve this problem.
However, when he subconsciously glanced at the book title again, a sense of familiarity welled up in his heart.
Su Nuo.
He seemed to have heard this name once before in Amegakure.
When was it? He'd almost forgotten.
"Wait! This book wasn't written by me; I have real evidence!"
Kakashi slapped his thigh and stood up abruptly.
—He finally figured it out!
"?"
"Kakashi, are you out of your mind? What did I do that made you yell 'Slow down'? Or did you yell 'Man'?"
Zabuza looked at Kakashi as if he were an idiot.
