Konoha's Mortal Wisdom

"It's true, you are always in the way."

"That's great, Sasuke~"

"You, what's that expression of yours~"

"You~ super idiot~"

"Why~why~you have to protect me~"

"How do I know~"

"Hmph, I obviously hate you the most~"

"Why, why, why~come to save me~"

“Too much nosy”

"Who knew, my body just jumped over naturally, idiot~"

"Sasuke"

"I haven't defeated that man yet, I haven't defeated my brother yet, how could I possibly die like this~"

"You don't want to die~"

﹏

"In order to protect the important people, he rushed towards it even though he knew it was a trap."

"He is a ninja worthy of respect."

"Is it the first time you encounter the death of a companion? This is the path of a ninja."

"Stop being so wordy, I obviously hate you the most."

“I can’t forgive you and I’m going to kill you.”

The above lines from the original animation still feel very touching when I re-watch it.

. . .

"Saxi ignore it, Jiu Lama~"

Looking at the fox monster composed of red materialized chakra revealed in the ice crystals on the bridge below, Yoruichi couldn't help but reveal a long-lost fox smile in the air.

There is no more childishness and naughtiness, no cuteness and sinisterness in childhood, but more mature and charming.

I have grown up, but I still control what I need to control.

Ninth Lama, I don’t know if you have listened to my words. You have made the down on your body thick, as if you are trying the feeling of rolling in the down.

. . .

The leakage of Nine-Tails Chakra gave Naruto unparalleled explosive power. Originally, the magic mirror ice crystals that Sasuke could not melt with all his strength were broken by Naruto with just his fists and kicks.

When Bai's mask was shattered by the angry Naruto, Naruto woke up from his anger when he saw Bai's familiar face.

Naruto and doubts, in his feeling, Shiro is not a bad person. Why, why would Haku want to work for someone like Zabuza and become his tool to work for bad guys.

Haku told Naruto his sad story.

The Kingdom of Water is a country that rejects the Bloodstain family. Bai awakened the Ice Escape Bloodstain when he was a child, and was discovered by his father.

The father led other villagers to kill Bai's mother with his own hands, and also wanted to kill Bai together.

Bai's out-of-control blood-stained energy killed his father and the villagers who came with him. From then on, Bai became a helpless orphan.

And as a bloodstain owner, he was an outcast in the Kingdom of Water when he was young.

Zabuza met him at this time, and became one of the rare people in the Water Kingdom who did not reject him, so he completely entrusted the meaning of his life to Zabuza.

It's not that he doesn't have his own good wishes, but that compared to the deathly loneliness, he would rather abandon everything else to seize this only support.

Shiro believed that Zabuza only needed his fighting power. After being defeated, he lost the value of his existence and lost Zabuza's support. He didn't want to face a lonely world, so he chose death.

Kakashi on the other side has also controlled Zabuza through the Ninja Dog Chasing Fang Technique, and used his famous unique skill Raikiri to finish off this Kirigakure ghost.

Shiro prayed for Naruto to end his life. He understood that Naruto was very similar to himself, and he must feel his own despair.

Naruto received Bai's wishes and finally made up his mind to fulfill him.

But just then, Shiro caught Naruto's attack.

"I can't die yet"

Haku's one-handed hand seal used Ice Release to move at high speed, and appeared in front of Zabuza who was about to be hit by Kakashi's Raikiri.

He discovered that Zabuza was in danger on the other side of the battle, and planned to complete Zabuza's last mission, using his own body to block the deadly Raikiri.

The lightning approached Zabuza at extremely high speed. At this time, Haku had already moved between Kakashi and Kito.

"呲~"

"No more chopping~"

"You actually said that my future is only death."

"Hehehehe, your words failed again, Kakashi~"

Zabuza's pupils shrank violently and he saw Haku standing in front of him. He knew what Haku had done and the consequences of doing so. . .

On the surface, he pretends to be cold, but in fact, Zabuza's heart is full of depression and anger. For Shiro, Zabuza is the only one. Zabuza, who failed in the coup and fled his motherland, also regards Shiro, who is dependent on him and obeys his orders, as his wife. The only remaining meaning in life.

Revenge, Zabuza only had one thought left in his mind: he must kill Kakashi to avenge Shiro's death.

"Kakashi, long time no see, you seem to have become a lot weaker~"

He gently pushed Bai away from behind, and at the same time let go of Kakashi Raiki's hand.

Only then did Zabuza realize that Haku had not been hit by Kakashi's Raikiri. Between Haku and Kakashi, there was a black-haired boy he had never seen before.

"Mr. Zabuza, are you okay? I'm sorry that I failed. As a tool, I have no value in existence."

"Hmph, let's solve the situation at hand first and use your remaining value."

"What nonsense are you talking about? That guy, that guy wants to use his body to block the attack for you. He obviously likes you so much, but are you really indifferent?"

"After becoming as strong as you, will you really become so cold-blooded? That guy even risked his life for you?"

"I don't even dream about it. I would rather die as a tool. This kind of thing, this kind of fact is too painful~"

Naruto on the side noticed that Haku appeared next to Zabuza and ran over. Hearing Zabuza's words, he couldn't help crying because of his emotional breakdown.

"Kid, stop talking." At this time, Zabuza actually shed tears.

"Maybe you are right. Ninjas are also human beings, and they may not be able to become completely emotionless tools. Shiro, thank you for always being by my side."

When Bai heard Zabuza's words, his eyes were also filled with tears. He understood that from now on, he was no longer just a tool and was needed.

Zabuza truly liked himself as much as he liked him, and the lost meaning returned to his life.

"Hey, who are you Kakashi-sensei? Who is this person? Why is he here? Is he an enemy of Zabuza?"

Naruto, who moved himself and others, got the answer he wanted and finally came to his senses and discovered the extra Yoruichi in the scene.

"The enemy, the person who just appeared suddenly used some method to kill the masked boy."

Sakura, who was guarding Tazuna, witnessed the whole process of Yoruichi falling for Shiro. At this tense moment, even when she saw Yoruichi's handsome face and Shiro's delicate face, she didn't waver at all. Holding up the kunai in accordance with the ninja regulations, he was on guard.

I don't know why, but this person gave Naruto an inexplicable sense of familiarity. When he saw this person, he felt inexplicably moved and joyful.

Why would you feel this way about an enemy~

"Naruto, where is Sasuke?" At this time, Sakura also discovered that only Naruto came over, missing the other figure that she had been dreaming about.

"Ahem~" Naruto's attention was redirected to Sasuke by Sakura. He clenched his fists and turned his head, not daring to look directly into Sakura's eyes. He suddenly felt depressed and sad.

"It's a lie, Naruto, Sasuke~"

Sakura's eyes shifted to the figure lying on the ground in the distance. Thinking of a possibility, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Tatsuna also understood the meaning of Naruto's performance, "Even if I'm here, don't worry about me. At this time, just cry properly~"

"Ninja Tips No. 25: No matter what the circumstances, ninjas should never show their emotions. Put the mission first. Remember in your heart that you can't shed tears at any time. Sasuke, Sasuke-kun~ah~"

Sakura wanted to hold back her tears, but in just one second, her tears collapsed and flowed out unsatisfactorily, and she could no longer control herself.

"Is this, is this the so-called ninja? It's really, really painful~"

"Instead of crying here, why not wipe away your tears and bring that Uchiha over for treatment."

"What, what is Sasuke, Sasuke~"

After hearing Yoruichi's words, Sakura raised her head and looked at Yoruichi in surprise. After that, she didn't care whether what Yoruichi said was true or false, and she didn't care that there were strong enemies around her. She looked at Tazuna to get his consent. , holding Tazuna's hand and running towards Sasuke's position.

Ye Yi's voice drew everyone's attention back to him. No one here knew who this stranger suddenly appeared.

"You, you are." Kakashi stared at Yoruichi's face. After a lot of careful research, he finally recognized the owner of this face. Although he had grown up and matured a lot, this face was unmistakable and must be his. , the first disciple I am most proud of

Holding the beheading sword tightly, Bai retreated to the other side, looking at the uninvited guest in front of him. The information on his record kept flashing through his mind, trying to find out whether this person existed in his impression.

Shirabi Zabuza recognized Yoruichi first. Although it was much larger than the image in the file, it was an image from 5 years ago after all, but he could still vaguely see the past.

"Your Excellency, you are the legendary Shadow of Konoha"

"What, Himada, it's that one~" Zabuza's heart suddenly tightened when he heard Shiro's words.

Kakashi withdrew his defensive movements, knowing that when his disciple appeared, everything would be over.

"Yorichi, you're back~"

"Yes, Kakashi-sensei, it's been 5 years and I'm finally back~"

"I can't believe it's been 5 years since you left."

"Yeah, it's been such a long time~"

Kakashi and Yoruichi were reminiscing about old times, Haku and Zabuza also remained silent sensibly at this time, but the one on the other end never understood what quiet meant.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Kakashi-sensei, do you know this person? Can someone explain it to me?"

"Naruto, be quiet. I will explain to you later."

"Yoruichi, let's catch up on old times and come here first. I want to take care of Zabuza first."

As Kakashi said this, he put on an offensive stance, and Shiro and Zabuza also started to be on guard after hearing this.

"I said Kakashi-sensei, give me some face and let them go. You have no reason to fight~"

"Our mission is to protect Tazuna, and Zabuza was hired by Kado to kill him. The bridge built by Tazuna represents the hope and courage of this country. I can't let Tazuna be killed. , let Zabuza destroy the hope of this country."

"No, Zabuza's mission is over." Yoruichi turned to look at Zabuza, "Give up the mission, otherwise I will intervene."

"Since Your Excellency said so, then we give up this mission."

Naruto originally thought that the extremely arrogant Zabuza would chop him in the head after hearing Yoruichi's even more arrogant words, but to his surprise, Zabuza unexpectedly agreed. You must know that in the ninja world, a ninja must complete a commission even if it means death. This is an iron rule. Unexpectedly, Zabuza violated this iron rule.

"Bai, let's go."
