The blind swordsman selling pots in Konoha

A week later, Shaz and Kakashi set off for the Land of Waves with a caravan.

Taking advantage of this week's free time, Shaz completed the job transfer mission, but not the awakening mission, because Shaz still needed to fill up the senjutsu chakra in the previously used equipment, and also experimented with new ninjutsu, chakra Seriously insufficient.

Even in the car heading to the Land of Waves, Shaz did not stop learning, but it was not the Flying Thunder God Technique. The third generation did not allow him to take the scroll recording the Flying Thunder God Technique out of Konoha.

The caravan walked all the way out of Konoha, and after advancing for about five minutes, it suddenly stopped. Two men in robes and hoods jumped out of the trees beside the road and walked straight towards the caravan.

"Were you attacked? Why don't you go down and take a look?"

Kakashi glanced out the window. He noticed the skills of the two people and knew at a glance that they must be ninjas.

Shaz also looked out the window and shook his head: "It's okay, we're on our own."

Sure enough, the caravan continued to move forward after a while.

After walking slowly for more than an hour, the caravan stopped again.

This time Shaz couldn't help but frown and stuck his head out of the window.

"Do you usually run business like this? Why did you stop just now?" Shaz shouted to the convoy in front.

After a while, the two people from before came over from the front.

"You think I want to stop? The car in the lead is broken down and the road is blocked. How can we get there?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Kakashi immediately took out his kunai and tensed up.

"It looks like he was recognized."

Zabuza leaned his head towards the window, reached out to lift the hair on the side of his face, then pulled down his mask and grinned, revealing his fangs.

"Long time no see, Kakashi!"

Kakashi glanced at Shaz who was rubbing his forehead, and suddenly put the kunai away again.

"Explain it so I can report it to the Third Generation."

Shaz felt his head hurt even more.

"Zabuza, this is different from the original agreement. Do you want to break the contract?" Shaz continued to rub his forehead and asked in a low voice.

"Breaking the contract? It doesn't really count."

Zabuza put on the mask again, showing great awareness of epidemic prevention.

"Do you still care about being exposed? I saw the battle between you and Ichibi Shukaku before."

Kakashi's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Zabuza glanced at Kakashi, ignored him, and instead made a tut-tsk sound.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't expect you to grow to this extent after not seeing me for a while. I should have killed you first!" Zabuza said, staring at Shaz.

"I have always been strong, but you didn't know it before. Also, I remember telling you not to enter Konoha before. Along with what happened just now, you'd better give me a reasonable reason!"

Shaz put down his hand and looked straight at Zabuza with a look of indifference in his eyes... In fact, his eyes were also indifferent when his face was expressionless. Everyone was like that.

"I just wanted to see if I could take the opportunity to add fuel to the flames. I didn't expect the Suna Ninja to be so useless!"

Haku quickly tugged on Zabuza's clothes: "Zabuza-sama!"

Zabuza glanced at Shiro, shook off his clothes and walked away.

"Please forgive me, Mr. Shaz." Shiro smiled apologetically at Shaz: "I was the one who dragged Mr. Zabuza into Konoha before. I wanted to help, but later I realized that I didn't need help, so I hid in the dark and admired it. After a moment of my lord's divine power, I left."

"As for just now..." Bai bowed: "We were negligent just now, please don't blame Mr. Shaz."

"You have caused me so much trouble and you still ask me not to blame you?"

Bai smiled apologetically again and said nothing.

"Okay, let's get the car repaired quickly. We're on our way."

After walking away from Bai, he turned his head and met Kakashi's scrutinizing gaze.

"Don't look at it. I acted with them to help them escape, but Konoha didn't lose much, right? At worst, I can hand over the benefits when I turn around~"

Kakashi: "What's the benefit?"

"Make a seal with one hand, why don't you go back and I'll make a separate copy for you?"

Kakashi still frowned: "How do you know they have the one-hand seal?"

"Didn't I go to town to find food when I was searching them? I happened to bump into that guy named Shiro. He knew how to form seals with one hand, so I made a deal with them on the spur of the moment... Anyway, Konoha didn't lose anything, right? ?”

Shaz emphasized again that Konoha would have no losses in this matter.

"How could you be sure that this matter would not cause any harm to Konoha?"

Shaz shook his head helplessly.

"First of all, the person who entrusted the task violated the law himself. I had no intention of continuing to protect him. I only agreed because I had new interests."

"Secondly, the targets of the new mission are Cardo and Ohashi. Zabuza is just a person hired by Cardo. What's wrong with me getting some money from him? It won't affect Konoha."

Seeing that Kakashi wanted to continue to inquire, Shaz couldn't help but hold Kakashi's shoulders.

"Okay, even if what I did was wrong at the time, haven't I admitted my mistake now? Aren't there many ridiculous things that have happened in Konoha? How big of a deal am I? I'm just a disabled person. Besides, hasn't time proven it? Is my original judgment okay?"

Disabled?

Compassion is causing trouble?

Kakashi looked at Shaz suspiciously.

Although he really wanted to ask what the ridiculous things Shaz was talking about were referring to, Kakashi had no choice but to give up considering that this was really not the place to talk about such things.

"It won't happen next time, but this matter..."

Kakashi hesitated again.

For professional reasons, he should report it, but this matter also involves Shaz, and there have been too many things related to Shaz recently. In this sensitive period, an accident may harm Shaz. .

"It's best to discuss this matter later...it would be better not to report it," Shaz said proactively.

Kakashi nodded in agreement: "Then what else are you hiding from me and the third generation?"

"It depends on what you said." Shaz shrugged: "I've hidden a lot of things. If you don't tell me, how will I know what you are referring to?"

Kakashi:  …

What you say seems to make sense... Just say no if you don't want to?

It must be as if I really want to talk about it but don’t know where to start.

There was nothing to say for a while. After a while, the car was repaired and the caravan continued to set off slowly.

Kakashi leaned against the window and looked at the familiar scenery outside, occasionally glancing at Shaz who was studying hard.

After all this, he was still able to calm down and study. Instead of admiring him, Kakashi felt even more that Shaz had a big secret that he couldn't tell.

The fog is thick, just like the Land of Waves in the evening.

"It's getting late. Let's stay here today and let's go to the factory together tomorrow?" Shaz asked.

Kakashi thought for a moment and nodded, seeming to have no energy.

Shaz didn't care, just thinking that he was tired after riding in the car for a day.

I had two rooms in the best hotel in the Land of Waves. Although it was the best, it was just like that in reality.

After a good night's rest, early the next morning, Shaz found Kakashi, who had already gotten up, and went out to have breakfast together, and then headed to the factory.
