Chapter 123

"Aren't you going to tell me?"

There was a mist in front of Bai Bai's eyes, and his consciousness was almost blurred.

The voice full of strong threats was blocked outside the swollen eardrums, and it sounded far and near.

It took Bai more time than usual to hear what the other party was saying, but the answer was no different from the previous few times.

He took a deep breath through his wet and cold nose, and said weakly, "I don't know..."

Before he finished a complete sentence, another violent force came from the top of his head.

Bai's head was pushed into the pool in front of the banyan forest by the torturers, and his unfinished words were drowned out by the sound of gurgling water and a series of enjoyment laughter.

This is behind the mountain about 2 kilometers from the abandoned patrol station.

The water pool is formed by more than a dozen small waterfalls descending from the mountain. The banyan forest (in fact, there is only one tree) where Bai used to collect medicine is not far behind him, and is irrigated and nurtured by the small river originating from here.

It's a pity that such a beautiful place has become a sinister place for torture.

Bai's head was almost completely submerged in the water, and the air bubbles flowed to his ears with the opening and closing of his mouth, and his brain felt groggy as if he was about to enter another world.

His arms were twisted against his back like pincers by another torturer, and his wrists were raised deliberately, almost touching his shoulder blades.But this little pain is nothing to Bai, what really matters is the feeling of drowning.

The cold pool of water poured into his uncontrollable mouth and nose, burrowed into his throat like a poisonous snake, and squeezed the air out of his lungs.

Bai struggled desperately, but was held tightly by the two together, unable to move.

Maybe a few seconds, maybe thousands of years.The white flash in the interrogation room that can cause epileptic patients to attack appeared before his eyes, and then he saw groups of black ink, like the ink spewed by an octopus, more and more, spreading around and connecting with each other, almost Covers his entire field of vision.

[If you don’t behead my lord, I’m afraid I’m going to say goodbye to you. 】

Scenes of the past are like a movie played backwards, playing rapidly in Bai's consciousness that is about to be extinguished.He has returned to the day when he met Zabu Zhan and rekindled his motivation to survive; he has returned to the day when he witnessed his mother being killed and the Blood Succession Boundary erupted and killed his father; soon he will return to his poor but still happy childhood...

[That's it, there will be no more pain. 】

He thought so, intending to embrace this sweet darkness.

But this desire is doomed to be shattered.

The torturer pressed his palm against the white scalp and pulled his hair tight, dragging the dying boy out of the water.

The fresh air rushed into the nasal cavity violently, the sound was deafening, and the sunlight pierced through the water droplets into the white eyes, causing unspeakable pain.

But before he could retch, his hair was pulled up vigorously, panting, he turned his head to the other side, and his torturers looked at each other.

"After soaking so many times, your face is still very beautiful. It's annoying to look at."

That face with a cruel smile belonged to the two-handed sword ninja who tried to kill Butterfly Ninja the day before.

He was only four years older than Bai, but this kind of coldness that was unique to Kirigakure was no different from those older companions behind him.

Among the ninjas waiting onlookers, Captain Moto Shinichi is an elite Jnin comparable to Zabuza.The two ordinary Jnin who look somewhat similar to Yuan Zhenyi are his clansmen.The special Shangrenyi who has the ability to perceive is the student of his grandfather Yuanshi Elder.

Except for the two-handed sword ninja and the middle-aged ninja with twisted white arms, although the other four middle-aged ninjas are not members of the big family, they all changed their families after last night, so they agreed to make troubles out of the ordinary and cooperate with Yuan Zhenyi to find Bai's bad luck. Information about Kazumi Mei and Kazumi Mei was tortured from his mouth.

Farther away, there are four teenagers who are about the same age as Bai, and their hair color is three black and one white.

The four people were bound by iron shackles, their hands and feet were tied, their jackets were stripped off, and iron collars with sharp teeth were put on their necks, and an iron chain nailed into the ribs of the four people was attached to the outside of the collar, so that they could only look like vultures. Hook your head and bend your body like that, otherwise you will tighten the spikes on the other end of the iron chain and hurt the internal organs under the ribs.

Although they were captives, they looked at Bai with the same indifference, as if they were used to all this.

Everyone was waiting for Bai to speak.Drowning torture, though primitive, has always been useful.

"I said you."

The two-handed sword ninja squeezed Bai's chin vigorously, and there was a sense of revenge in his eyes, or the pleasure of being a villain: "When you bossed me around in the name of Momochi Zabuju yesterday, did you think about what will happen today? ? I didn't expect that the retribution would come so quickly."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Yuan Zhenyi was a little impatient.

He doesn't mind his subordinates using "official affairs" to avenge their personal revenge, but now is not the time to do such things.

"Forget it, get out of the way, I'll ask him in person."

"Yes, yes." The two-handed sword ninja quickly changed his face, and backed away in fear.

Yuan Zhenyi squatted down, his eyes were indifferent as if he was looking at a stone on the side of the road.

"You don't want to talk about the private plans of Zabuza and Terumi Meizhi, which I understand, because you are afraid that if you say it, the two of them will be in danger. It doesn't matter, I know you are closely related, since you don't want to say it, I will Stop asking."

When Bai heard this, his mood didn't get any better, his chest was still heaving violently, and he breathed the air with pain.

Because he knows that all the words before the transition word like "but" are all nonsense.

"Then let's talk about another thing. In this election, Mizukage won't be able to win with Momochi's self-important and withdrawn personality. Even if you are just a follower who blindly worships him, you should understand this .”

Bai didn't respond, but he didn't refute either.

The election depends on the votes of the ninja, that is, it is determined by the interpersonal relationship between the candidate and the ninja.

And Zabuzhan, who killed all the graduates in the same period, is definitely the existence that everyone in Wuyin Village shuns away from.

Although Zabuzhan himself is very optimistic, as an outsider, Bai is much more sober.

"But even so, there are still jonin in the village who are willing to vote for him. I think, since these people can't be friends with Buzha, they must have been threatened by him for other reasons."

Yuanzhen paused, "So I want you to tell me, who are these Junin? What kind of handle is in Zabuzhan's hands? As long as you reveal this to me, I will let you go. You know, right? , Even if this information is told to me, it will not put Zabuzhan in any danger, it will only make him lose in the election more ugly, but it does not change anything in essence."

"Do you want to rely on these excuses to make the ninja who supports the master no longer support you instead?"

Bai saw through Yuan Zhenyi's thoughts at a glance.

"To be precise, let them support my brother, he is the candidate."

Yuan Zhenyi smiled stiffly, "How is it? This is not critical information. Say it, and you can leave."

"..." Bai thought for a while before making a decision.

"just kill me."

The fetters between him and Zabuzhan cannot tolerate this kind of filth.

"Tsk."

Yuan Zhenyi sighed, and pursed his lips impatiently.

He didn't talk nonsense, and glanced at the middle-aged ninja who was twisting his white arms, and shook his fingers.

The latter understood immediately, and freed up a hand to repeat the same trick, pushing Bai's head to the water surface.

But the binding power of one hand is far less reliable than that of two hands.

Taking advantage of the weakening force of the bondage, Bai broke free from the restraint of the middle-aged ninja and pressed his palms against the water surface, freezing a large piece of ice
He gritted his teeth and slammed his neck hard, and his pale face hit the white ice hard.

However, the impact distance is still too short.Bai just broke his nose this time, and the bright red nosebleeds flowed on the ice like a forked tiny river, but his forehead failed to break through.

Only then did the middle-aged ninja come to his senses, and quickly grabbed Bai's two arms and yanked hard behind his back.

Accompanied by a crisp sound, Bai's two arms hung down limply like caterpillars, apparently dislocated, unable to use his blood succession limit anymore.

"Want to kill yourself?"

Yuan Zhenyi's tone was full of ridicule, "It's a pity that you didn't hit hard enough. Without such a hard-working person, it is impossible to survive in this village."

"You can't ask anything..."

Bai's cheeks were weakly pressed against the ice, his torso remained in a sideways posture, and his voice was weak but decisive.

"I have received anti-torture training, and I know your methods...whether you pull out my nails or cut off my fingers, I will not say anything."

"I believe in you." Yuan Zhen pressed his index finger between his eyebrows, obviously a little depressed, "I knew I would bring an illusion-type helper here, what should I do now..."

At this time, the two-handed sword ninja looked behind Shiro.

There was a broken teacup there, and the milky white banyan sap had soaked into the soil, turning a muddy, dirty brown-gray.

In addition, there are all kinds of common herbs scattered around, which can be seen to treat trauma.This reminded him of one thing.

"My lord, look at these herbs, they are obviously prepared for the wounded!"

The eyes of the two-handed sword ninja shone, as if a gambler saw the chips on the table, "Yesterday he lied to us in the name of not chopping again, just for two little devils. One of the little devils said that he fell from the mountain and suffered a lot. Serious injury. The medicine he collected must be prepared for that brat."

"Oh." Yuan Zhenyi already understood what he meant without finishing his words.

He looked at Bai, whose expression became flustered, and tentatively said: "There have been people like this before. I can accept any kind of torture, but if I see someone important to him suffering, I am willing to speak up immediately, and I will do anything." I said it. I thought that such a person would have died in Wuyin Village, but I didn't expect there to be another one."

Yuan Zhenyi turned his head and asked, "Are those two people detected by Yi Shangren yesterday?"

In particular, Jonin is also Jonin, which is a way of showing respect.

The two-handed sword ninja replied: "Yes! One is a boy who is unconscious and seriously injured, and the other is a little girl with a sharp mouth. According to adults, they have weak Chakra reactions, so they should be ordinary people."

"Since you are an ordinary person and have been seriously injured, you won't be too far away from them when you come out to collect herbs."

Yuan Zhenyi and Bai looked at each other.He noticed the change in the other person's expression, and became more and more confident in his own judgment, "For example, I remember that there is a patrol station nearby that has been out of use for many years. They are there, right?"

"They're not ninjas and have nothing to do with this."

Bai shuddered and said, at the same time, he secretly hated himself for not being able to hide the secret in his heart, and wrote everything on his face, "We just met. They are not important people to me, I just helped them."

"The more you explain, the more I feel the need to meet them. After all, who would help a stranger?"

Yuan Zhen shook his head regretfully, and muttered seemingly to himself: "What kind of things will we have to do to them to make you change your mind?"

This might be some kind of common question from Kirigakure Ninja, because one by one, everyone jumped up to speak up.

"Twist off their fingers one by one first, so that the screaming will be louder."

"It's too old-fashioned, how about smashing their hands and feet bit by bit?"

"Let's see if this brat digs out their hearts in front of him."

"Why don't you pull out the intestines and wrap them around a tree, and see how many times you can wrap them around."

"It would be nice to cut off the head and play it as a baseball at the end."

"It's not bad to do some interesting experiments, I have a newly developed technique..."

Almost everyone has an idea.Some are serious suggestions, and some are jokingly saying that the more cruel the better.Only the ninja boy who was with the two-handed sword yesterday did not speak, it should be because he has just entered the industry not long ago.

In short, for a while, the scene was very lively. These ninjas looked like a group of office workers discussing which izakaya to go to for a party at night.

Every time they said a word, Bai's face became paler, and in the end it was completely bloodless.

[If these people really have to find them...]

Yiyong is certainly strong, but with such an injury, even if he can wake up and fight, can he really deal with a veteran Jonin like Yuan Zhenyi and a group of subordinates?

As for Butterfly Ninja, without Chakra, no matter how powerful the physical skills are, there is a limit.

No matter how you think about it, when those two people encounter this team, they will have nothing but death.

Although they only knew each other for a day, as long as Bai remembered what happened yesterday, he didn't want these two unique children to die, let alone the tortures that these people discussed.

Bai made up his mind that this kind of thing must not happen.

Butterfly Ninja's voice sounded in his heart——

[Because I have experienced a tragic experience, I don’t want the same thing to happen to others. Is it normal to think like this? 】

If two people like this are allowed to grow up smoothly, the whole world will be very different.

That idea that sounds ridiculous and naive at first may become truly "normal".

【If you don’t let your master know if you leak it, then let’s make a desperate apology. 】

Although it is no different from suicide...

Such thoughts popped into Bai's mind.

In this way, he can not only save the lives of Butterfly Shinobi and Yiyong, but also won't fall into the guilt of not beheading again.This is the best way.

Shiro's mind was full of these, and he even forgot that Mist is not known for keeping promises.

But just when his lips were moving and he was about to speak, there was a compact and loud bird song in the woods above the waterfall.

In the dense voice, there was an alarm-like restlessness, as if some beast was hunting in the forest, which attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone looked up in the direction of the sound——

First a bird flew out from above the waterfall, then the second, the third, the fourth...

More and more birds flew out, and at first they could be counted, but then hundreds and thousands of birds of various colors flew out like a dark cloud, and they pounced on the Kirigakure ninjas with perfect precision. in the direction.

"Be alert!" After Yuan Zhen gave the order one by one, all ten ninjas raised their ninja swords and kunai to resist.

Everyone, including the four captives and Bai, was instantly submerged by the torrent of countless birds.

They didn't take the opportunity to scratch or attack, but simply wanted to pass by these people, and then flew into the banyan forest like the palace of the demon god without stopping, like refugees fleeing for refuge seeking shelter.

After more than half a minute, the last bird did not enter the banyan forest, and the avian storm was declared over.All that was left on the ground were the carcasses of birds that had been hacked and killed.

"What nerves are these birds... Bah bah!"

The ninjas and captives spit out feathers from their mouths impatiently.At this time, a strange cry came from the crowd.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the middle-aged ninja who made the sound.

The latter was terrified, pointing to the blood-stained ice floe in the pool, and said falteringly: "My lord, it's gone! That kid is gone!"

"How come?" A Jōnin frowned, "How do you see people?"

"I didn't grab him just now to block those birds..." the middle-aged ninja explained, "Didn't I remove all his hands?"

"Could it be that other ninjas used those birds as a cover to take that kid away?" Another jonin's guess was somewhat reliable.

"Take people away calmly, I'm afraid it's not ordinary people."

Yuan Zhen glanced around, and then looked at Yi, who had the ability to perceive.

The latter's hands fluttered for a while, maintaining the last handprint, closing his eyes and stretching his consciousness outward. After a while, he had an answer, but this answer was unexpected.

"Someone took him away." Yi pointed to the direction of the banyan forest, where the birds disappeared, "but the Chakra reaction on that person was close to zero, but the speed was very fast."

"...Whoever he is, don't tell people to run away!"

Yuan Zhenyi pursed his lips, and pointed to a Jonin of the same clan, "You take these little ghosts from the Taketori clan and follow behind, and the others follow me to chase."

"Yes."

the other side.

Butterfly reluctantly came under the trunk of this forest of banyan trees, and let Bai lie on a wide buttock.

The dense leaves covering the sky made the place as dark as sunset, Bai also relied on the unique smell of wisteria to judge who saved him.

"How do you know I'm... ah—" Before Bai finished speaking, Butterfly Ninja had skillfully connected his dislocated arm.

"Now is not the time to talk about this." Butterfly Ninja spoke quickly, with an extremely serious expression: "Bai, let me ask you, with your current physical condition, can you still make ice?"

Bai nodded blankly.But I don't know why Butterfly Ninja asked this.

Butterfly forbearance helped him up, and used Kunai to draw a pattern on the ground under the tree trunk.

"Help me make such a weapon out of ice. It's longer than a normal knife, but it's hollow inside. The stronger the better, don't break it when you touch it."

Then, she pulled apart Haori, and took out a few test tubes containing light green liquid from the men's ninja shorts—knowing that there might be a fight, Butterfly put on the replacement clothes and clothes prepared by Giyuu before coming. Pants.Fortunately, there is not much difference in body size between the two, and the size of their clothes is just right, otherwise they can't fight people in bathrobes...

"Is it possible to hide the liquid inside the weapon during the production process?"

Butterfly reluctantly looked at the direction it came from, "Don't ask me why, and don't ask me what's in it, if you can do it, do it right away, there's no time."

"Oh..." Bai nodded and immediately got busy.Butterfly Ninja’s request tested the ninja’s chakra shape-changing ability. Fortunately, things like ice are very suitable for shaping. After a while, he created the weapon Butterfly Ninja wanted——

Rather than a rapier made of ice, it is better to say it is an ultra-long white "steel needle".Of course, this is a product of ninjutsu, which is much harder than ordinary ice.

"Good weight."

Butterfly Shinobu took out the gauze, tied it to the end of the steel needle, then held the place wrapped by the gauze, danced a few sword flowers fluently, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Finally, the familiar feeling is back..."

"What should I do next?" Bai asked, his expression a little anxious, "I seem to have heard their voices."

"You leave, I will stay here and wait for them."

Butterfly's answer left Bai dumbfounded, "You go back on a detour, take the patient out of the hut, and go wherever you want. After my business is over, I will let Yan find you."

Raven Yan falls from a higher branch.The size of the crow is much larger than that of ordinary crows. The previous storm of birds was the result of her intention to drive them away.

"Let's go together. How can you be their opponent by yourself?"

Shiro grabbed Butterfly Shinobi Haori's cuff, and tugged it beggingly, "Let's talk..."

Butterfly Ren interrupted him: "I know my strengths and weaknesses, and I won't deal with all of them at the same time. Besides, you have also seen..."

Die Die endured saying this, pulled Haori from Bai's hand, turned his back to him, and faced the approaching pursuers.

"I let go of those two people yesterday, but you were almost killed today. So this time, no matter what, I will never make the same mistake again. If I don't clean up these guys today, it will be a long time before the next one." It won't be long before 'you' are tortured like this. Bai, I beg you, the patient, what is about to happen here is not suitable for a gentle child like you to see."

"..." Bai's heart throbbed.From Butterfly Ninja's tone, he heard a strong murderous determination.

【Sure enough, it's not unusual...】

"Let's go! Don't let Master Ninja get distracted because of you! She is the smartest among the nine pillars, and she will be fine!"

Yan Yayan said loudly to Bai who was stunned in place: "Master Shuizhu will leave it to you. Take him as far as possible. But don't let Master Ren down!"

Bai didn't know the specific meaning of the pillar.But when he saw that petite body holding the ice spikes, he felt a kind of majesty that stood above heaven and earth.

He stopped talking, bit his lip and wiped his eyes, and left quickly.He planned to detour back to the patrol station and carry out Butterfly Shinobi's orders.

Butterfly stared at the figures getting closer and closer to him in the dense forest, with smile lines on the corners of his lips, exposing the edges of his teeth.

"Tomioka said aggressively that day that he wanted to turn the world into a hell for people like you. But he is too gentle, and he may not be able to do it himself..."

She held the icicles flat in front of her chest, and retreated in a posture of gaining momentum. Her purple eyes became as dark and cold as the light of the moon's breath, but they seemed to hide a flame that could sweep everything.

"So, in order to fulfill his promise..."

Butterfly jumped up, with the ice thorns behind her predecessors, her whole body was shot out like an arrow from the string, piercing the first enemy she encountered, including the palm and the chest, and nailing it to the back of the latter. on the trunk.

She gently twisted the weapon in her hand, forcing the other party to let out a heart-piercing mournful cry, letting this fear continue to radiate to the whole world.

"It has to be replaced by me!"
