"Are you kidding me?" Zabuza looked at Sakura, who appeared harmless, and then glanced at Kakashi with a skeptical look.

"I don't have time to joke with you. I was present during that incident. Sakura used some unknown method to bring down numerous small meteorites from the sky. However, under her control, those meteorites landed in uninhabited areas along the Land of Lightning's border and didn't harm anyone!" Kakashi explained seriously. "Afterward, Sakura and Sasuke had their swords made from the meteorite iron obtained during that event!"

"I never expected that. You can actually summon meteorites?" Zabuza wore an expression of astonishment, as if he were observing a rare animal.

"So, do you understand now why the Third Hokage listens to Sakura?" Kakashi looked up at the sky. "Even if Sakura had no background, the Third Hokage wouldn't ignore her opinions. After all, the Third Hokage wouldn't want a sudden meteor shower over Konoha!"

"Basically, it's just fear," Zabuza shook his head. "But yeah, I understand. As the Hokage, he definitely wouldn't want to see his village destroyed!"

As they walked, they soon arrived at the Hokage's office. The bustling scenery they saw along the way filled Zabuza and Haku with longing.

"Is the mission completed?" The Third Hokage looked at the group as they entered, his gaze lingering on Zabuza and Haku for a while. "Who are these two?!"

"Zabuza Momochi, a missing-nin from the Mist Village, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and the wielder of Kubikiribocho!" Kakashi pointed at Zabuza with his hand, then introduced Haku. "Haku, the successor of the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai in the Mist Village's Haku clan. He is Zabuza's loyal subordinate, a non-violent ninja!"

"So, you went on a mission and brought back two missing-nin to me?!" The Third Hokage's eyes twitched. "Kakashi, don't you know that Konoha cannot harbor missing-nin? Moreover, if I remember correctly, Zabuza Momochi became a missing-nin because he assassinated the Fourth Mizukage. If the Mist Village learns of his presence in Konoha, do you think they will just let it go?!"

"Grandfather Third Hokage, it was my idea to let them settle in Konoha!" Sakura stepped forward and took responsibility. "Although Zabuza had a bad reputation before, there is another side to that incident. You don't have to worry about him causing trouble in Konoha. As for Haku, her personality is suitable for a medical ninja, especially with her Ice Release, which provides many advantages in the field of healing. Who knows, she might become another Lady Tsunade in the future..."

"No, one Tsunade is enough for me to deal with..." Upon hearing Sakura's words, the wrinkles on the Third Hokage's forehead almost gathered together. Another Tsunade? Just one Tsunade was enough of a headache. If there were another, Konoha would probably be bankrupted by two gambling addicts.

"Grandfather Third Hokage, what are you thinking? I'm referring to her achievements in the field of medicine, not her gambling habits!" Sakura's forehead gained a few black lines. It seemed that the Third Hokage had suffered greatly from Tsunade's gambling addiction.

"Alright, that's good, that's good. Konoha can't handle two gambling addicts..." The Third Hokage breathed a sigh of relief. Tsunade's luck with gambling, if not for Jiraiya quietly contributing to her savings all this time, she would have been chased by debt collectors worldwide.

"As for the Mist Village's attitude, don't worry, I guarantee they won't come looking for trouble..." Sakura pointed her right hand to the sky, as if she were about to make an oath. "And even if they do, I'm here. Grandfather Third Hokage, you don't need to worry at all. If they cause trouble, I'll bring down a meteor shower on top of the Mist Village. I guarantee that no one will dare to object in the future!"

"The relationships between ninja villages shouldn't be handled so forcefully. We need to learn to compromise..." The Third Hokage secretly rubbed his fingers together. This proposal was indeed tempting, but he couldn't openly admit that he was considering it. He had to say something contrary to his true feelings.

"Forget it, compromising should be based on the assumption that everyone's strength is roughly equal. Look at the time of the First Hokage. Even though the First Hokage had a friendly attitude, which ninja village dared to take advantage of him? On the surface, they were all friendly, but in reality, they were just being cowardly!"

Sakura secretly rolled her eyes. Wasn't Hashirama Senju humble in his attitude? But none of the other ninja villages dared to take advantage of him. Why? It was because Hashirama Senju had the strength to wipe them all out at any time. If Hashirama Senju didn't have enough strength, showing that kind of attitude, any passerby would have eaten him alive. In the end, it all came down to who had the biggest fist in this world.

"Cough, we shouldn't speak so bluntly..." The Third Hokage coughed lightly. Although it was the truth, it wasn't appropriate to say it so directly.

"Anyway, I assure you, Third Hokage, that if the Mist Village wants trouble, I will handle it. I'll bring a meteor shower over the Mist Village and guarantee that they won't dare to cause trouble again!" Sakura took full responsibility for the matter. Sometimes, solving a problem was really that simple. There was no need for elaborate schemes. As long as your fist was strong enough, it would suffice.

"Alright, they can stay in Konoha, but according to regulations, they need to be monitored. I'll assign this task to Kakashi since he has experience..." The Third Hokage took a puff of his pipe. The biggest trouble had already been resolved, so he didn't need to worry about anything else.

"As for employment, Zabuza cannot leave the village at the moment. He can only take on small tasks within Konoha. As for Haku, she can go to the Konoha hospital and learn there. If possible, she can develop in the Medical Corps..."

"Zabuza can go to the Medical Corps with Haku!" Sakura suggested. "After all, Zabuza excels in swordsmanship, and his sword strikes are undoubtedly very precise. If there's a need for surgery, he can perform it. Haku can give instructions, and the two of them can cooperate well."

"I learned techniques for killing people in the past. I'm afraid I won't be able to save lives..." Zabuza looked troubled. He learned techniques for killing people. How could he save lives in the Medical Corps? It was too difficult for him!

"You don't need to do anything else. Just cooperate well with Haku. Ice Release is very helpful for surgeries. When she commands you to make an incision somewhere, you just need to follow her instructions. Don't meddle in other matters!" Sakura's face carried a threatening expression. "Or do you want to go to Konoha's slaughterhouse to slaughter pigs?!"
