Chapter 21

The next day.

Heavy fog.

It was the kind of fog that the wind couldn't blow away.

"Bai, why is it you?"

Naruto smashed Bai's mask with a punch, revealing the gentle face under the mask.

He looked unbelievable. Such a gentle person was actually a killer.

"I am Zabuza-sama's tool. Now the tool has lost its use, so... kill me, Naruto."

Bai looked tired and said with a hint of relief.

"Why?!"

Naruto's voice was trembling.

"Because..."

Bai spoke about his past in a calm tone, then looked into Naruto's eyes and smiled gently.

"I really want to see the future you mentioned."

"Really?"

Naruto looked at the boy in front of him, and instead of yelling and saying some empty words, he took out his kunai and walked forward in silence.

"Naruto?"

Sasuke couldn't help but shout when he saw Naruto's action. After learning about Bai's experience, he didn't want to see Naruto kill Bai.

Even though he was beaten up by Bai just now.

"Is it tiring to be a tool all your life?"

Naruto ignored Sasuke. He had no mercy on Bai.

"Let me help you get rid of it. Remember to live for yourself in your next life."

The kunai slowly pierced Bai's heart.

"Yeah." Bai nodded vigorously.

Bang!

Naruto knocked him out with a knife, and pushed him off the bridge with the last one.

"Naruto? You killed him? Why?"

Sasuke looked at Naruto and felt like he was meeting this noisy teammate for the first time.

"He has been carrying too much pain. If he wants to be free, let him be free."

Naruto's tone was a little stiff and unnatural.

"Don't you feel it? He doesn't want to live anymore."

"As someone who has experienced similar suffering, you must understand his feelings, right?"

"... Damn it!"

Sasuke was silent for a long time, and finally lowered his head and pounded the ground in pain and anger.

On the other side,

"It seems that your subordinates have failed."

Kakashi looked at Zabuza who was bitten by the ninja dogs in front of him.

"Heh, just a tool."

Zabuza sneered. He couldn't protect himself now, so how could he care about a tool?

"It's really disappointing!"

This was his last comment on the dialogue.

"You are really as indifferent as the rumors say!"

Kakashi was completely angry when he heard what Zabuza said. He hated people who didn't care about their companions the most.

"Raikiri!"

Without hesitation, Kakashi quickly formed seals with both hands, and the azure thunder was held in his palms, piercing Zabuza's heart in an instant.

"This tricky C-rank mission is finally over!"

After Kakashi confirmed that Zabuza was dead, he sighed with some exhaustion.

He felt that this was not training his subordinates, but sharpening himself! Damn it!

"Kakashi-sensei, are you okay?"

Seeing that the dust had finally settled, Sakura hurried forward to check Kakashi's injuries.

"Well~ He won't die for the time being."

After being cared for, Kakashi suddenly felt the pain in his wounds.

"Haha, you're really embarrassed, Kakashi-sensei!"

Naruto also ran over with a smile at this time. Bai's ice escape could not trap his instant body technique, so the previous battles were basically Sasuke who was abused alone, and he was looking for opportunities on the edge.

"But it doesn't matter. Sasuke is in the same mess as you. Are all people with Sharingan so fragile? Hahaha."

"I have to say that you are an annoying brat most of the time!"

Kakashi rolled his eyes speechlessly. Didn't he see that blood was coming out of his chest? He didn't even help bandage it!

"Hey, can you give me this knife, Uncle Bandage?"

Naruto saw that Kakashi didn't look like he was in trouble, so he ran to Zabuza and asked with the beheading sword.

"Take it if you like it."

Kakashi nodded nonchalantly.

"That's great. With this sword, I can learn the vacuum sword!"

Naruto knew that the seven ninja swords of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were all very powerful swords! Transmitting chakra is basically a basic attribute.

And with this beheading sword, his strength advantage can also be brought into play.

The next step is to find a sword technique to learn and be able to use it freely.

Relying on the speed and power brought by the steel fist, plus the sharpness of the beheading sword and the vacuum sword ninjutsu, and finally with his own huge chakra!

Then the resulting combination is that each of his swords can cause powerful destructive power!

"Teacher Kakashi, do you know swordsmanship?"

When Naruto thought of this, he couldn't help but look at Doraemon again.

"Swordsmanship? I'll go back and look for it. My family was also a samurai family in the Warring States Period. There are many swordsmanship traditions. I think there should be heavy swords as well."

Kakashi really didn't disappoint Naruto.

Eight Gates + Beheading Sword?

It can be expected that Naruto's enemies in the future will find it difficult to leave a complete corpse.

He wiped his forehead and broke out in a cold sweat. Naruto's style is not like a teacher at all. Instead, he is a bit like Teacher Kushina in terms of violent tendencies...

"Zabuza's body can also be brought back to Konoha in exchange for a bounty. It should be worth 20 to 30 million."

Kakashi stopped thinking about the scene of broken limbs flying all over the sky and decisively changed the subject.

"Hiss!"

Naruto's eyes suddenly turned into the shape of ￥. 20 to 30 million? !

That's 30 million!

Kakashi teacher, I get one, Sasuke gets one, Sakura gets one.

Doesn't that mean I can get 15 million!

Ah! I've finally gotten out of poverty!

...

The waves at the bottom of the bridge kept hitting the bridge pillars.

Each wave was four or five feet high. If it were some ninjas who were not proficient in chakra control, they would have been thrown into the sea by the waves.

But at this time, a yellow-haired figure was staring at the person falling from the bridge.

Naruto actually recognized Bai as the gentle boy who picked herbs yesterday morning when he saw him for the first time.

In the eyes of the master of physical skills, Bai was the same whether he wore a mask or not.

Unless he could change his height and weight, there was no way to hide it from Naruto's eyes.

Just before Bai's body was about to fall into the sea, Naruto jumped up suddenly, caught Bai, and then quickly left the place on the waves.

He didn't think of killing Bai.

Even before Bai told him about his own experience.

Because he believed in his feelings, Bai was a gentle person.

So, when fighting with Bai, one of his shadow clones secretly jumped off the bridge and waited for an opportunity at the bottom of the bridge.

Sure enough, not long after, the shadow clone saw Bai's falling figure.

But Naruto is a ninja of Konoha after all. If he doesn't want to be identified as a traitor, he can only use this obscure method to save Bai.

"Fortunately, the fog is thick enough today, otherwise it may not be hidden from Kakashi, who has the Sharingan!"

Naruto pulled out the kunai that pierced Bai's heart but was not in the vital part, and took out the wound medicine to help him stop bleeding. While stopping the bleeding, he found that Bai was actually a boy, and he was a little disappointed.

However, he still took him to the place where he met yesterday and waited quietly for Bai to wake up.

Since he is a boy, don't blame me for being ruthless, mehahaha!
