Chapter 108 "White" And "White Beard"! Investigate the Mysterious Masked Man!

"Zabuza-sama, you have been in a coma for a day and a night. It was Terumi Mei-sama who carried you back." I felt pity for Haku's delicate little face and weakly answered Zabuza's question.

"Of the hundreds of ninjas that Master Mizukage took out, only a hundred or so came back, and all of them were more or less injured, and many of them were seriously injured."

"Zabuza-sama, you are one of them."

"Mizukage-sama..."

Bai paused, and while carefully observing Zabuza's expression, he said, "Lord Mizukage, you didn't come back yesterday."

Zabuza: "..."

Zabuza, who was silent for a few breaths, stared directly at the ceiling above with a blank look in his eyes.

How many ninjas died in Kirigakure Village was not important in his eyes.

The important thing is that the most critical guy did not come back alive.

In other words, the fourth Mizukage should be dead.

The other party died at the hands of the whitebeard.

"Hey!" Zabuza spat out something like he was trying to show his respect, "I didn't expect to be beaten to the spot by a pirate."

He had already intended to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage.

But there has never been a chance to take action.

After all, it is not that easy to assassinate a perfect Jinchuuriki. No matter poison or traps, they are of no use to Jinchuuriki. Zabuza has been thinking of ways these days.

As a result, I didn’t expect that I don’t have to think about it now.

The person he wants to kill will never die again.

"Zabuza-sama, you haven't eaten anything for a whole day and a night. How about I cook you some porridge?" Haku whispered in Zabuza's ear.

"No, I'm not hungry."

Zabuza said: "You don't need to follow me anymore. To me, you are of no use now."

"Okay, why don't you...ah?" Bai was stunned on the spot, and Shui Ling's big eyes were covered with mist.

Bai tried his best to force a smile.

"Again, Zabuza-sama...are you kidding me?" Shiro's tone was choked with sobs.

And Zabuza was lying on the hospital bed.

Then he turned to look at Bai.

That extremely cold and unfamiliar look blocked everything Bai Bai wanted to say in his throat.

"I adopted you just to make you a tool to kill the Fourth Mizukage. Now that the Fourth Mizukage is dead, you are of no use to me at this moment."

"The Fourth Mizukage is dead, and there is no need for me to keep a brat like you anymore. You are of no use to me, you have lost your use value!"

"In my eyes, there is no difference between you and trash now! Do you understand? If you don't understand, I can tell you again."

At this point, Zabuza's bloodthirsty and murderous aura filled the air, covering Shiro's entire body.

A bone-chilling fear surged into Bai's heart.

But no matter how great the fear was, it was not as intense as the shock, grievance, disbelief and other emotions in Bai's heart.

"Zabuza-sama..."

snap——

The misty big eyes could no longer hold back the tears inside, and hot tears of grievance and sadness fell down her fair little face.

"Get away!" Zabuza's tone did not change at all, and the look in his eyes now was not something Shiro was familiar with.

"Hmph, continue to be your orphan! If you, a loser, want to repay my kindness, stay away from my sight!"

"...Yes, Zabuza-sama. I...I understand."

Bai bit her delicate lower lip tightly.

The lip was bitten.

Blood spilled out.

Bai, who was in a daze, was in a daze when he stood up. He staggered and almost tripped himself.

Just when he turned around and wanted to walk towards the ward door, he couldn't help but look back behind him.

The retention that I expected in my heart did not happen.

All he saw was a pair of cold eyes.

Those eyes had no emotion, but they were like sharp blades, piercing into Bai's heart, causing Bai's body to tremble.

Bai sniffed hard to clear his nose.

Tears welled up uncontrollably.

Ever since he was adopted by Zabuza, Haku had long been prepared to be a tool, and he would do whatever Zabuza asked him to do. Bai Ye felt that there was nothing wrong with being a tool, and he even enjoyed being such a tool.

At least……

Explaining yourself is useful.

But……

Zabuza-sama, however, despises that he can't even be a tool, and he has lost any value to Zabuza-sama.

Bai was completely confused.

I was also completely in a trance.

I gently opened the door to the ward, then closed it gently, and stood outside the door for more than half an hour, until my eyes were so dry that I could no longer squeeze out a tear.

Bai's mood was as low as ever.

He leaned against the door of the ward and murmured in a low voice: "If you need it one day, Zabuza-sama can come to me at any time."

In the ward.

Hearing the sounds outside and hearing the footsteps gradually fading away, Zabuza's cold expression did not change at all until no more footsteps could be heard.

"The Fourth Mizukage is dead, the blood mist policy may be coming to an end, and Kirigakure Village may become better and better. At least no matter how bad this village is, it won't be worse than it is now."

Zabuza finally spoke and said to the empty air: "Your existence in this world can have many meanings. There is no need to stay with a person like me."

"Live well, kid!"

Just when he finished speaking, Zabuza's expression suddenly changed, and he turned to look out the window with an ugly expression.

A faint blush flashed across his cheeks.

He became a little angry on the spot: "How long have you been squatting here?"

"It's only ten minutes, right?" The window was opened, and the person walking in from the outside was Loquat Juuzang, who was covered in bandages. He sat down directly on the edge of the window sill.

Loquat Juuzang was very interested: "I didn't expect you to be such a person. This is the first time I have really seen this side of you. No matter how dignified the ghost is, you will be so 'gentle'."

"Damn it! You bastard!" Zabuza was so angry that he said, "Shut up!!!"

"Forget it, let's get down to business. I'm here to ask you one more time, and it's the last time." Juuzang Juuzang suppressed his smile.

The expression on his face was very serious: "Do you want to join me and join the 'Xiao' organization?"

Zabuza frowned and said, "The Mizukage is dead, and the blood mist policy may have ended. In this case, do you still want to leave Kirigakure?"

"I wanted to join Akatsuki before because I wanted to use Akatsuki's power to kill the Mizukage-sama. But now my mind has changed. I want to join Akatsuki now because I want to kill a person in the Akatsuki organization who claims to be ' Uchiha Madara's masked man!"

Loquat Juuzang said coldly: "I learned something from Terumi Mei. The real man behind the implementation of the blood mist policy is not Yagura Yagura, but the mysterious masked man! I will sneak into the Akatsuki organization and investigate everything. Then kill him!"

"The masked man who calls himself 'Uchiha Madara'?"

Zabuza, who was lying on the bed, was startled.

…

"Terrumi Mei! You are too messy!"

"Ao", who was in the same hospital as Zabuza, had thick plasters on his arms and feet. He gritted his teeth and said: "Our plans have been formulated for several years. Among them, there are plan A and plan B. Plan, and Plan C, but now I can’t even use a plan.”

"The most important thing is... it was just a little bit close, just a little bit close! Kirigakure was so close to being wiped out! If some ninjas weren't lucky enough to be swept far away from the beginning, they would all have died. In that forest.”

"Even now, the total number of chuunin and jounin alive in the village does not exceed 150! The total number of people does not exceed 150! Do you know what this concept is?"

Qing's tone was a bit broken when he mentioned this.

A very stable man like him can hardly hold back the emotional fluctuations in his heart.

"If a few more people die, we will not even be as good as grass ninjas!" Qing, who was sitting in the wheelchair, was very nervous.

It is difficult for anyone to accept this kind of loss!

During the Third Ninja War in Kirigakure Village...

The losses are not so heavy, right?

Originally, Kirigakure was at the bottom of the five great ninja villages. Now Kirigakure no longer has to carry the word "hidden". It is the bottom of the five great ninja villages.

Even judging from Kirigakure's remaining military strength, it can be called "the shame of the five great ninja villages"!

"Ahem! I think this is a way of putting one's life in danger."

Everything has happened, and it happened because of her, and Terumi Mei watched it all happen.

What else could Terumi Mei say?

She could only choose good things to say.

"Then it won't... turn the village into such a dead place!" Qing was angry and wanted to say something, but couldn't. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly: "Forget it, let's think about it, what should I do? Only then can the village be restored."

"The only good thing is that one of the root causes of the blood fog policy has been eradicated. And that battle did not happen in the village. On the surface, the village is still intact."

Speaking of this, Qing recalled the doomsday scene before, and his body shivered suddenly.

In his eyes, the Yondaime Mizukage, who was a perfect Jinchuuriki, was already a monster among monsters.

Unexpectedly, such a monster was actually killed.

"Terrumi Mei, Whitebeard and the others...are they still in Kirigakure Village?" Ao asked curiously.

"Yes." Terumi Mei nodded: "A group of them are all in the village."

Qing's tone was extremely solemn as he analyzed the current situation: "Our village is at its weakest now. Although it is no longer a war period, if other ninja villages know what happened in Kirigakure Village, they will definitely It is ready to start a war again."

"What do you mean?" Terumi Mei guessed something.

Qing suggested: "Perhaps, we can establish a deeper 'cooperative relationship' with that white-bearded gentleman. You know, the Kirigakure Village needs his power now, so that it can intimidate other young people." .”

"For example, you told me about the mysterious person who is suspected of controlling the Akatsuki organization of the Fourth Mizukage." Qing said: "Isn't that mysterious person scared away by Whitebeard?"

Terumi Mei couldn't help but smile bitterly: "'Cooperating' with Whitebeard is not as simple as you think!"

No one knows better than her what to expect when working with Whitebeard.

Logically speaking, Terumi Mei is the one.

The result is just like a grandson.

…

the other side.

"Zabuza-sama no longer needs me... In Zabuza-sama's eyes, I am no longer a useless waste... How could this happen... Why..."

Shiro had already reached the entrance of the hospital in a daze. Kirigakure Hospital in Kirigakure Village didn't look as big as Konoha Hospital.

Bai stared blankly at the deserted street in front of the hospital gate.

The grievance in his heart made his eyes turn red.

The confused emotion lingered in my heart.

Shiro didn't know, what else could he do when he lost Zabuza-sama's "need" for him?

What is the meaning of living?

In the entire ninja world, besides Zabuza-sama, who else would care so much about him?

those people……

You will only hate yourself, right?

Painful memories gradually came to mind. Bai was originally born in a village in a country of water where it snowed all year round. The mother is a ninja with bloodline limited to blood inheritance, and the father is an ordinary villager without any blood inheritance or ninja power.

Due to the blood mist policy's discrimination and targeting of "Blood Succession Limit" ninjas, the villagers were also affected and felt that the Blood Succession Limit ninja would bring "disaster" and "war" to the village.

When Bai's father learned that his wife was actually a blood ninja, he led the villagers to personally kill Bai's mother in front of Bai.

Also on that day, Bai was in panic and despair.

Awakened the blood inheritance limit inherited from mother.

In the end... Bai killed everyone, including his father, and became an orphan in just one night.

Aimlessly begging for survival in the land of water.

Until, he was adopted by Zabuza.

It can be said... Zabuza is a faint light in Shiro's heart. Although this light is very weak, it illuminates Shiro's heart.

Now, the light is out.

Bai was confused.

Very confused.

"What should I do? Stay in Kirigakure Village as a ninja and survive numbly? Or..."

Shiro looked down at his palms.

This palm is more delicate than a girl's, and it can be said that it is white and pink, like white jade smeared with pink and white.

Cold air suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand, and an ice needle condensed out.

"still……"

"End of Life?"

At this moment, the noisy sound came closer and closer, making Bai couldn't help but look up and look ahead.

I saw a kid with blond hair rushing towards the hospital.

The other party was so depressed that his face turned blue and he covered his buttocks.

With a little expression on the verge of collapse, he was still shouting: "Doctor! Doctor! I have a bad stomach! I have had a bowel movement twenty times today. My eldest sister said that she is not very good at treating this disease, doctor! Doctor! !Help me!”

Bai Shuiling's eyes gradually began to widen.

The blond kid wasn't enough to shock Shiro that much.

Mainly from behind the other party...

There is a "giant"!

"Idiot son! You're just eating a colorful mushroom, and yet you're like this! You're simply embarrassing the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Whitebeard kicked Naruto in the butt with a look of disgust on his face.

This action is like kicking a small football.

Kicked Naruto towards the hospital gate.

"Wow, yeah, yeah!!!" Naruto yelled in panic after being kicked away, and suddenly found that there was someone in front of him.

"Quick! Get out of the way!!!"

Bai's reaction was a little slower.

He was hit head-on by Naruto.

Bang! ! !

Bai didn't expect that a child who looked smaller than himself would be so powerful when flying over.

Nine-year-old Shiro and six-year-old Naruto collided head-on. Shiro was knocked upside down by Naruto and flew into Kirigakure Hospital.

Naruto instinctively grabbed Shiro's clothes.

The two of them immediately rolled into a ball.

He rolled on the ground for more than ten times before hitting the wall behind him. By coincidence, it was Naruto who acted as Shiro's back.

Naruto banged his head against the wall.

There was a muffled sound.

Even the walls shook.

"It hurts so much..." Bai couldn't help but rub the knee he had bumped. He reacted in the next second and quickly got up from the ground. He looked at Naruto who hit his head against the wall with concern: "Well, are you okay? Are you okay? Are you hurt? Do you need help?"

The muffled sound when Naruto's head hit the wall just now was not so clear. Hitting the wall with such force would definitely cause a concussion, right?

It was so white that even the putty painted on the wall was cracked.

"I'm fine." Naruto also struggled to get up.

He really didn't have anything wrong with him.

The pain in my head was not even as severe as the pain in my stomach. He clutched his tummy, his face full of bitterness.

"It's you, you... Huh?" Naruto also wanted to care about Bai. After all, he knew that he had a lot of power in "flying".

As a result, Naruto just looked up.

He was stunned.

"Such... such a cute girl." Naruto, who was only six years old, was actually a bit precocious, and he blurted it out almost instinctively. This is the cutest girl he has ever seen in Kirigakure Village, much cuter than the aunt named Terumi Mei.

After hearing this, Bai quickly defended softly: "I'm not a girl, I'm a boy just like you."

"Oh! So... huh?" Naruto reacted belatedly, and his eyes widened.

"M-boy!?"

"No, it's not..." Naruto was incredulous and dumbfounded: "How can a boy be so cute?!"

"Huh? Hiss!" At this point, Naruto recalled something and touched his chin: "It seems that Sasuke is quite cute too. He also looks like a cute girl."

Why did the cute girl I met...

Are they all boys? !

oh!

Except aromatic phosphorus.

"Um, is it really okay for you?" Bai pointed at Naruto's forehead and said worriedly, "You're bleeding a little here!"

"It's okay! After all, I am Uzumaki Naruto!"

Naruto gave a bright smile to Bai Bai: "In the future, I will surpass Hokage! How can this small wound make me feel pain?"

"Speaking of which, I didn't mean to knock you away. It was dad who kicked you out of nowhere..."

boom--

"Ouch! It hurts so much, Dad!!!"

The familiar snap of love fell from his head, and Naruto didn't need to look back to know that it was his father who came to him again.

The pain was so painful that he couldn't keep the bright smile on his face.

Fortunately, the first floor of Kirigakure Hospital is relatively high, so even Whitebeard, who is 6.66 meters tall, can barely stand in it.

"Gu la la la, stupid son."

The white-bearded man standing behind Naruto grinned heartily: "I didn't kick you out of nowhere! Your father and I were just saving a kid who had a death wish in his heart."

Whitebeard glanced down at Bai: "You are like a little brat, the decadent will to die exuding from you is really visible to the naked eye!"

5200 words! _(`‖∠)__Originally it was 6,400 words, but there was one section that I felt was a bit awkward, so I deleted more than a thousand words. I spent an hour writing it and just deleted it like this. My heart hurts so much, woo woo woo——
