Chapter 213: Encounter in the Land of Waves

"Your...original intention?" Luo Yi didn't understand.

Isn't the reason for the birth of Pian Yi the development of the clone technique based on Yin-Yang Escape, the product of a failed development (a success in another sense)?

"It's a common setting in classic boys' comics. If the protagonist wants to become a god, he must eliminate evil thoughts, and ultimately fight to the death with the villain who is transformed from evil thoughts, and then prove his worth and become a god." Black Cat spoke lightly, as if he was talking about someone else's business.

"What Dragon Ball God? Are you the Great Demon King Piccolo?" Luo Yi rolled his eyes. "That's an antique trick from a generation ago. Not many people like it now."

"Don't forget... Naruto will go to Turtle Island soon and face his dark side in the "Waterfall of Truth"; going back further, Ichigo also defeated "Shirosaki Zangetsu". Isn't it reasonable for you, Luo Yi, to beat me?" Pian Yi knew all the old comics by heart, and kept dragging his tail back and forth.

The battle with oneself seemed to be a fixed routine of that era.

As for the life three years ago, Pian Yi's memory is Luo Yi's memory, so he knows it very clearly. Therefore, "I don't want to be a flawless and glorious image. Whether I have shortcomings or make mistakes, this is me."

——Don’t cut off from your dark side easily. The more you cut, the more incomplete you will become.

"I choose to reconcile." This was Luo Yi's answer.

"Indeed, that's what you did." The black cat laughed dryly with an ambiguous meaning, "You can obviously let me take care of the bad things, and then naturally "eliminate" them... Why not, because you pity me?"

"There's no difference between pitying you and pitying myself." Luo Yi acquiesced. "After growing up again, I have verified something, that is, 'taking a detour' is also an important part of growth. People who only take the 'right path' are actually fragile."

Only after understanding the mistakes can you understand the value of the right things.

"Heh...it seems that we are still different. Since three years ago, we have been two independent individuals." Pian Yi also verified his own conclusion, "We can be "father and son", we can be "brothers", but we are not "the original body and the clone."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't this a fact that has been confirmed long ago?"

"Yes, it is true."

So, will the battle in the dream happen again? The man and the cat thought tacitly.

"By the way, Di...how is Xiaodi doing?" Luo Yi felt a little depressed by the previous topic and quickly turned to other people.

"Seal him in an abandoned tower in the Hidden Rain Village. Wait until the Five Kage Conference and the Third Tsuchikage will become wise and then send the naughty child back to his parents." Pian Yi has almost gotten used to this guy's abrupt turns.

The relationship between Deidara and Ōnoki is like that of a grandfather and grandson who are not on good terms, so it seems quite appropriate to describe them as parents; add in the junior sister, Ōnoki's real granddaughter, and the Fourth Tsuchikage, Kurotsuchi, and it will probably be quite lively then.

"Speaking of excitement, I didn't expect that Wave Country is the most lively right now."

Except for the Eight-Tails, Nine-Tails and the solitary Three-Tails, the former Jinchūriki of the other tailed beasts gathered together. After Lao Zi's "painless abortion" is over, shouldn't we have a party to celebrate that everyone has become neighbors?

By the way, call Kirabi and Lao Ming as well.

"It will be even more lively in two days."

"Yes, Lao Zi and Kisame are coming."

"No, have you forgotten? Suigetsu will drag Sasuke along as well."

...

"Really? You already carry a cat with you, so what if I take a detour to get Zabuza-senpai's beheading sword?" At the bridgehead of the cross-sea bridge "Naruto Bridge", Suigetsu was complaining while holding a straw in his mouth.

Sasuke was helpless. He didn't expect that the information about the "Mist Hidden Demon" Zabuza's faked death was so widely circulated. This guy was determined to find his "relics" ninja sword.

"I haven't been here since that mission. I didn't expect..." to have changed so much.

The busy bridges and connected streets, the concrete roads with tall buildings on both sides, the endless variety of shops and stalls, all show no trace of the old town that was in ruins three years ago.

Luo Yi, Bai He and Zabuza really brought this country back to life.

On the edge of town, in the green space bordering the forest, stood two inconspicuous cenotaphs. On the wooden crosses, one was hung with a faded scarf, and the other was tied with a slightly dusty broadsword.

The scarf seemed to have been replaced within half a year, and the fabric had not aged; the machete seemed to have been maintained within a similar period of time, and there was no rust on it.

"It's in a place like this." Shuiyue didn't notice these details, or maybe he ignored the surprise of finding the beheading sword, "Mr. Zabuza, I'll take this."

As he spoke, he did not care about the dust on it and directly raised the sword, "It's so heavy... This is the beheading sword of the demon Zabuza in the Blood Mist Village."

"You... can use it?" Sasuke looked around but didn't see any familiar figure.

It is said that Haku and Zabuza are very busy nowadays, and it is good enough that they can come here once a year to reminisce the past.

"According to common sense, the swords of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are passed down from generation to generation. I practiced hard because of my admiration for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen." Shuiyue looked at the sword with joy, "After I have it, maybe... I won't lose to you anymore."

"Hmph..." Sasuke was about to retort, but his eyes caught a figure that shouldn't be here at all.

"You know the rules of our group of seven, but you just took it without thinking. Don't embarrass your brother."

The only person who can call himself "our seven people" on this island, besides Momochi Zabuza, is Hoshigaki Kisame who has just arrived on the island. "I wanted to meet an old friend on a whim, but I didn't expect to catch a thief who stole a knife."

"Hey, hey, Senior Kisame, even though you and my brother are from the same generation of the Seven, there's no need to be so harsh in your words, right?" The smile on Mizuki's face remained, but the beheading sword in his hand had already turned towards the other party.

"Oh? It seems that you are more impatient than me to undergo the "trial" of the ninja sword inheritance... Well, let me replace Zabuza and test your quality." Kisame's hand also tightly grasped the hilt of Samehada's sword.

For a moment, broadswords faced broadswords, shark teeth faced shark teeth, and needles faced wheat thorns.

Sasuke held his forehead, not knowing whether he should intervene. Kuroneko said that he had important matters to deal with in the next two days, including bringing his brother's former partner here?

Suigetsu felt that it was somewhat unfair to take away the beheading sword so simply, and it was just what he wanted to have a fight with the senior of the Seven; Kisame thought that he would have to live an honest and dutiful life for a long time after coming to the quiet and peaceful island, and being able to fight with the younger brother of Mangetsu, a ninja sword elite of the same generation, would help him relieve his itchy hands.

"You... forget it, just be happy and don't affect the towns. We don't have the money to compensate them." Erzhuzi gave up and let them fight.

How can two ninjas who specialize in water-based jutsu and physical skills fight on an island?

"Water Style: Great Water Arm Technique"

Shuiyue's muscles bulged exaggeratedly, and the beheading sword that was originally difficult to lift became easy to wield, and he delivered a simple but powerful chop when it met the opponent's face.

"Are you trying to compete with strength?" Kisame might have thought that dodging was too uninteresting, so he didn't dodge or evade, but chopped out with Samehada at a symmetrical angle.

"Den-"

The two swords collided with a heavy muffled sound. Sasuke retreated from the battlefield and used his Sharingan to observe the fight between the old ninja swordsman and the newcomer.

Oh? Samehada seems unhappy? Is he complaining because he got hit head-on?

However, Kisame was still unsatisfied, "You need ninjutsu to support your strength. You are far behind your brother."

"Sorry, I'm a technical ninja." Shuiyue ignored his taunting and suddenly freed a finger from the hand holding the knife to aim at the other party.

"Water Style: Water Cannon Technique"

Kisame's eyes changed. He was quite familiar with this secret water technique passed down from generation to generation by the Kisame clan. The high-pressure water bullets shot from his fingertips were powerful enough to penetrate ordinary ninjas. It was not a ninjutsu that could be underestimated.

"Samehada: Chakra Devouring"

The bandage originally wrapped around Samehada was cut by the sharp barbs underneath, revealing its true appearance with dense fangs and a large tongue, which swallowed up the water bullet and the chakra in it.

"Ji!" After finishing the meal, Samehada made a dissatisfied sound, as if he was dissatisfied with the taste being too bland.

"It's truly the most special 'biological ninja sword'. I'm becoming more and more interested in it." Mizuki became even more excited.

"Then use your body to feel it." Kisame was also eager to fight.
