"Hah! This is too good! Keep screaming—the louder you cry, the more I love it, haha!"
Seeing the Land of Water's daimyo committing such vile acts, Kazama's blood boiled with rage.
"Zabuza, turn this daimyo into a eunuch!"
"Yes, sir!"
With a swift slash of his blade, Zabuza separated the daimyo, who was in the act of abusing innocent women, from his "little brother."
Argh!
The daimyo collapsed in agony, clutching his severed parts and squealing like a slaughtered pig.
"You bastards! How dare you attack me, the great daimyo of the Land of Water?!"
Spotting Kazama and his group, the daimyo immediately tried to call for his guards. But Kazama had already instructed Zabuza to set up a barrier around the bedchamber. No matter how loud the daimyo screamed, no one outside could hear him.
"Go on, keep shouting. Didn't you say you love hearing screams?" Kazama taunted.
Realizing no guards were coming despite his cries, the daimyo's face twisted with panic.
"Who the hell are you filthy mongrels?!"
"Wow, daimyo, your memory's pretty shot. You don't even recognize me? Weren't you the one who sent your goons to steal my ten pagodas?"
"Ten pagodas?"
The daimyo's eyes widened as he finally pieced together who Kazama and his crew were.
"Hmph! So it's you trash from Otogakure who dared to lay a hand on me!"
Instead of fear, the daimyo sneered at Kazama and his group.
"Let me tell you, you little punks, sneaking into my palace doesn't make you hotshots. If you kill me, Otogakure won't survive. If you're smart, you'll let me go right now and hand over those ten pagodas. Otherwise, I'll flatten your pathetic village!"
"You scum! Still talking tough when you're staring death in the face?!"
Zabuza and Haku, enraged by the daimyo's insults toward Kazama and Otogakure, were ready to cut him down on the spot.
But Kazama, with a sly grin, held them back.
"Didn't I say before we came? Killing him is a waste. Better to make him serve us."
"What?! You, a little punk, think you can control me? Keep dreaming!"
The daimyo burst into mocking laughter at Kazama's words.
"Let me spell it out for you, kid. I may not be a match for you ninja, but I'm the daimyo of the Land of Water, above tens of thousands! One word to Kirigakure, and you think your tiny Otogakure stands a chance? Control me? Go eat dirt!"
"Betsutenjin!"
As the daimyo ranted, Kazama cast the ultimate genjutsu, permanently bending him to his will.
"I've offended you greatly, Lord Kazama. Please forgive me!"
The same daimyo who'd been arrogantly sneering moments ago was now groveling at Kazama's feet.
If anyone saw the mighty daimyo of the Land of Water kowtowing to a teenage ninja, their jaws would hit the floor.
"Send all the women you've harmed back to their homes immediately. Compensate each with ten thousand gold, and personally kowtow to their families to apologize!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Now a puppet under Kazama's control, the daimyo obeyed without question.
