Becoming a God by Increasing Favorability in Naruto

At the same time, in Zabuza's resting room.

Furen's spirit, which was concealed within Zabuza, remained unnoticed despite Zabuza being injured during the fight with Kakashi.

Furen could sense that both Zabuza's mind and body were quite weak.

"Unfortunately, it's not yet the time to kill you." After weighing his options, Furen decided that his main goal was to win over Haku, and Zabuza couldn't die just yet; he still had value to be utilized.

"Zabuza-sama, I'm back." Haku's figure appeared before Zabuza.

Zabuza forced his eyes open, relieved to see that Haku had brought back the decapitating sword.

Just as Zabuza was about to succumb to sleep, Furen's concealed spirit suddenly had an epiphany: since he could hide his spirit within someone else, could he also use it to subtly influence the other's mind?

With that thought, Furen began to quietly influence Zabuza's brain.

When Yamanaka Ino's father, Yamanaka Inoichi, used his technique, it allowed the target to awaken their consciousness and perform actions they didn't want to do, though Inoichi's influence was always noticeable to the target.

Furen's method of secretly influencing someone to do something they didn't want to do was a bold experiment.

"What should I make Zabuza do…?" Furen pondered.

Just then, the door was suddenly kicked open.

Zabuza's icy gaze turned towards the entrance.

A short man in a black suit stepped in, followed by two tall bodyguards carrying swords.

"Gato…"

Haku furrowed his brows; Zabuza needed sufficient funds from Gato, otherwise, she had no goodwill towards someone who used brute force to oppress the Land of Waves for his own benefit.

"You were defeated by Kakashi and a bunch of lowly genin and had to escape in disgrace!" Gato scoffed, his tone dripping with disdain. "Looks like the ninjas of the Mist are all trash!"

The short Gato stepped in front of Zabuza, who was glaring at him. "You can't even clean up a mess, and you dare call yourself a ghost? What a joke!"

Furen, hidden within Zabuza, sensed that Zabuza was extremely angry, but he forcibly suppressed that anger.

Furen's eyes lit up as he quickly commanded Zabuza's spirit.

"I, Zabuza, will kill everyone who looks down on me!"

As soon as Furen's command was issued, the suppressed fury in Zabuza erupted. Struggling to rise, he seized his decapitating sword and swung it at Gato's head!

Gato's bodyguards, Zhor and Vala, reacted quickly, drawing their swords to intercept, but ordinary blades were no match for the decapitating sword.

Their swords were severed as easily as cutting through twigs, and the two attackers felt a chill in their chests.

Looking down, they found that their chests were already slashed open, blood pouring down.

The sight caused Gato, who had never seen blood before, to panic, and he collapsed to the ground.

"C-Continue the mission! I'll pay you!" A flustered Gato stumbled out, completely ignoring his two fallen bodyguards.

As Zabuza was about to continue attacking Gato in a frenzy, Furen's hidden voice once again conveyed a command.

"Gato must not die; we need his money to complete our revenge plan."

Under Furen's influence, Zabuza indeed stopped and put down his decapitating sword.

Ding!

Congratulations to the host for discovering the enhanced use of the Mind Body Chaos Technique!

Skill: Mind Body Switch Technique lv3 (View memories, erase memories), Mind Body Chaos Technique (Secretly influence and manipulate others' thoughts).

Seeing the additional function of the Mind Body Chaos Technique appear in his mind, Furen nodded. It seemed that the Yamanaka clan's technique had great potential for development.

With the increased use of the Mind Body Chaos Technique, the level of the Mind Body Switch Technique also rose correspondingly, as Furen's Mind Body Chaos Technique was derived from the Mind Body Switch Technique.

Once calm, Zabuza glanced at the decapitating sword, which had soaked up the blood of Gato's bodyguards. The blade, which had been broken, slowly began to form a new edge.

The decapitating sword started absorbing the iron from the blood to repair itself.

Zabuza propped the restored sword against the bed and lay down, completely ignoring Haku.

"Zabuza-sama, your injuries are still serious…" Haku's voice gradually became softer.

"Zabuza-sama… you really don't care about me like Furen does…" Haku suddenly felt a wave of disappointment, then remembered Furen's sunny smile and the seriousness he showed when he took off her mask on the lake.

The bittersweet feelings in Haku's heart suddenly swelled.

"Zabuza-sama, I'll go gather some herbs for you tonight."

After Haku finished speaking, she left, wondering why she couldn't help but hope to meet Furen again.
