In Naruto: Reborn with a Chat Group-Chapter 159 - 157: Visiting Gato’s Hideout

'What the hell is Makoto doing over there? That's a ridiculous amount of chakra... Does he have to release chakra just to take a piss?'

'Or is he constipated or something?' Kakashi wondered, sensing the absurdly strong chakra from the direction Makoto had gone.

At first, he assumed Makoto had just gone for a bathroom break, but now, he really wasn't sure what was going on.

Just as Kakashi was still trying to figure it out, Makoto finally returned with Zabuza and Haku following behind him.

Naruto immediately ran over, frowning in confusion.

"Makoto! What took you so long in the bathroom? Were you constipated or something? That never happens to me! I've got a perfect digestive system!"

Makoto shot him a knowing smile. 'Oh, I know. And you should really be thanking Kakashi for that. His 'Thousand Years of Death' must've done wonders.'

With Makoto back, the group continued their journey to Tazuna's house, chatting along the way.

As for Tazuna's bratty grandson, Makoto had no intention of dealing with him. The kid was just a whiny little punk who didn't know any better.

Besides, he, Zabuza, and Haku had more important things to do, like paying Gato a visit.

At this moment, Gato was still seated in his chair, his short frame barely making him look imposing.

When he saw Zabuza and Haku walk in, he didn't even bother glancing at them.

"So? Did you complete the job?" Gato asked impatiently.

"Did you kill that damn bridge builder, Tazuna? I paid you a lot of money! If you failed, then you're nothing but a bunch of losers, huh?" His voice dripped with arrogance as he sneered.

"And what's with the kid? I hired you to kill people, not to start a daycare!"

Makoto stood at the entrance, casually observing Gato.

The guy was barely 1.5 meters tall, dressed in a small suit with dark sunglasses, trying his best to look like a big shot.

But what truly baffled Makoto was, where did this guy even find the nerve to speak like that?

And not just to any ninja but to Zabuza, a man whose very name sent shivers down spines.

The infamous Demon of the Hidden Mist, a cold-blooded executioner who had once butchered an entire squad without so much as flinching.

Yet here was Gato, an ordinary businessman with zero combat ability, talking down to him like he was some hired thug.

Makoto had always found this world strange.

Ninjas had power that completely outclassed ordinary people, yet somehow, they were still controlled by weaklings like Gato.

It just didn't make sense.

Zabuza, however, wasn't in the mood for Gato's nonsense. Without a word, he slowly reached behind him and pulled out his Executioner's Blade.

Makoto had already returned it to him earlier. He had no use for it anyway, since he preferred the Sword of the Thunder God. Plus, Zabuza was now his underling. If he was going to fight at full strength, he needed his weapon.

"Gato! Watch your mouth when talking to my boss!" Zabuza growled, his grip tightening on the Blade. "Or else, I won't mind sending you to hell!"

Gato, still lounging in his chair, blinked in disbelief, like he hadn't heard Zabuza correctly.

"What the hell did you just say? Say that again!" His voice rose in anger. "Is that how you talk to me?! Hand over every single ryo I paid you!"

"What kind of 'Demon' are you supposed to be, huh?! You're just a washed-up thug! And now you're calling some brat your boss?! That's just pathetic!"

As soon as Gato finished his rant, the doors to the hideout slammed open, and a large group of samurai flooded the room, surrounding Makoto, Zabuza, and Haku.

Though, these so-called samurai were nothing but a bunch of hired goons and mercenaries at best.

[Uchiha Madara: Honestly, I don't get it. Where does this little punk get his confidence? He thinks he can take on ninjas with a bunch of samurai? That's just plain stupidity.]

[Senju Tobirama: Agreed.]

[Uchiha Izuna: Yeah, this guy's got some serious nerve!]

[Namikaze Minato: Makoto! Enough talk! Time to teach him what real pain feels like!]

Makoto chuckled as he stepped forward, eyes locked onto Gato.

"So, you're Gato? I've heard you're not exactly a good person."

Gato sneered. "You little brat, are you looking to die?!" He slammed his fist on the armrest of his chair.

"How dare you talk to me like that?! Drag him here!"

At his command, his mercenaries roared and charged forward.

Zabuza and Haku moved instantly.

Zabuza's Executioner's Blade swung through the air, and heads dropped one after another.

Each strike was clean, brutal, and efficient, just as expected from the Demon of the Hidden Mist.

Haku, on the other hand, was far more elegant. Every enemy that came his way was frozen solid, their bodies encased in ice before they could even lift their weapons.

Meanwhile, Makoto strolled toward Gato with a casual smile.

"Tell me, should I call you ignorant or just plain fearless?"

"As a knowledgeable businessman, you should understand what ninjas are capable of... and yet, here you are, provoking one. So, tell me, does that make you smart or just an idiot?"

He took another step closer, his gaze sharpening.

"I also heard you're very rich. What a coincidence! I happen to be short on cash right now." His smirk widened.

"So, why don't you be a smart businessman and tell me where you keep all your money?"

Gato's face twisted as he watched his men fall like flies against Zabuza and Haku. Panic flickered in his eyes, but he still forced himself to act tough.

"Y-You brat! I don't care who you are, but you'd better learn some respect!" He puffed up his chest, trying to sound imposing.

"Do you even realize who you're messing with?! If you offend me, you'll be hunted down for the rest of your life! You'll face endless pursuit!"

"So I'll give you one last chance! Kneel before me right now, and maybe, just maybe, I'll be merciful enough to let you live!"
