Naruto: Blood Mist Escape

Seeing this, Wuxin did not interrupt Zabuza's words, but looked at the little beggar indifferently.

The beggar child looked at Zabuza, then at Wuxin, and at Terumi Mei, the girl holding an umbrella not far behind Wuxin.

Perhaps it was time to realize the choice of his fate, the child slowly stood up, looked at Zabuza and Wuxin again, and finally walked slowly towards Wuxin.

Wu Qingxin couldn't help but smile, stood up, ruffled the little boy's black hair, and then hugged him in his arms.

Even though it was snowing heavily, the little boy felt extremely warm because of Wuxin's embrace, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph, boring."

Zabuza snorted coldly and stood up. It was unclear whether he was saying that he was bored or that he was unintentionally bored. He shook his head and turned to leave.

Watching Zabuza leave, Wuxin slowly withdrew his gaze, looked at the little boy in his arms, and asked:

"What's your name?"

"white..."

The little boy had a gentle face and was able to answer with a smile even in such an adverse situation.

This little boy is indeed Bai, Wuxin felt a little happy in his heart, and said softly: "From now on, you will be my subordinate, let's go."

After saying that, he took Bai's little hand and walked towards Terumi Mei who was waiting in the snow.

Mei Terumi held up an umbrella to cover Shiro, shielding her from the heavy snow.

"Let me do it."

Wuxin took the paper umbrella from Terumi Mei's hand with his right hand, squatted down, and regardless of the stains on Bai's body, he picked him up with his left hand.

Two adults and one child, holding an umbrella, walked in the heavy snow towards the central commercial street of Emao Town.

Although it was winter and there was heavy snow, there were still many pedestrians and tourists on the commercial street.

Bathhouses, hotels, inns, and restaurants were all open, and waiters were standing at the doorway in the snow, waving at passers-by to attract customers.

"In this weather, if I don't take a bath, I always feel guilty about this snowstorm..."

At the entrance of Baie Hot Spring, Wuxin raised an eyebrow at Mei Terumi beside him and spoke ambiguously.

"We are still on a mission, this... is not a good idea, right?"

For some reason, Mei Terumi's cheeks turned red and her voice became weak.

"It's okay. We have Takeya and Toda here. The two of them are enough for a mere C-rank escort mission."

Wuxin made the decision and walked towards the hot spring center with Bai in his arms. Terumi Mei followed with a blushing face.

However, Wen Tang and Terumi's meditation were a little different. Wuxin did not choose a mixed bath, but a private room. They agreed to meet in the rest area after soaking in the hot spring.

I don’t know what made Mei Terumi angry, but before going to the women’s bath, she twisted Wuxin’s arm hard.

Wuxin was a little confused, but didn't dare to get angry. He took a deep breath and watched Mei Terumi enter the women's bath.

Wuxin shook his head and took Bai into the men's bath room.

Bai is very well-behaved, doesn't talk much, and follows Wuxin quietly. This kind of well-behaved and obedient child is very likely to make people love him.

Wuxin, who brought Bai into the hot spring, instructed the servant on duty:

"Prepare a pot of sake, two rice balls, a fish and two side dishes for us."

The servant respectfully agreed and left to prepare food for Wuxin.

Wuxin leaned against the edge of the hot spring pool with his elbows on the shore, while Bai lay on the shore with his hands, trying hard not to fall into the hot spring pool.

"Hold on. If you can't swim and slip down, you'll be in trouble. This pool is one meter and two meters deep."

Wuxin was in the mood to joke, and his thoughts even recalled the time when he was pulled by Murayama Yuto's hair when he graduated as a Genin and joined Murayama Yuto's team.

At that time, Murayama Yuto grabbed Wuxin's hair and said that it was to prevent Wuxin from drowning in the swimming pool.

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Bai's tone was a little lazy. After suffering from hunger and cold for a long time, the hot spring made Bai feel extremely comfortable.

After a while, the waiter brought the ingredients that Wuxin ordered into the bathing room and placed the tray on the shelf.

"Thank you."

Wu Xin thanked the servant and turned to Bai and said softly:

"Bai, help me get some wine from the shelf. The wine on the tray is mine, and the rice balls and dishes are yours."

"Rice balls? Dishes?"

Bai was so hungry that he had lost all sense of hunger. When he heard the sound, he immediately climbed out of the hot spring, brought the tray from the shelf to Wuxin's side, put down the wine pot and cup, looked at the rice balls and side dishes next to him, and said uncertainly:

"Is this really for me?"

"Well, it's for you, eat it."

Wuxin responded softly, picked up the wine jug, poured himself a glass of wine, and Xiao Mi took a sip.

Hot spring plus wine is indeed very effective in dispelling cold and dampness. Wuxin likes it very much and feels comfortable.

Bai behind him hesitated for a long time, but finally reached out and grabbed the rice ball, took a bite, and after it went down his throat, his eyes lit up and he began to gobble it up.

Two rice balls, two side dishes, and a fish, but the small Bai managed to finish them all.

"Eat fish slowly and be careful with the bones."

Hearing the gnawing sounds behind him slow down, Wuxin gave a reminder.

Don't be impatient when eating fish. If a fish bone gets stuck in your throat, it will be troublesome and you will suffer in vain.

"Ok!"

Perhaps because he had eaten, Bai's voice had some strength and he hummed heavily.

In the room, there was a pool in the middle filled with mist. Wuxin leaned against the edge of the pool, pouring a glass of wine from time to time and taking a sip. Bai, who was behind him, finished his meal, patted his belly contentedly, and jumped into the hot spring pool.

With this jump, water splashed everywhere. Bai was stunned for a moment, as if he had caused trouble. Misty eyes filled with tears, and he looked at Wuxin sharply.

Wuxin frowned, and seeing Bai's insecure look, he sighed inwardly and said coldly:

"Be careful not to get hurt."

After saying that, he put a wet towel on his forehead, tilted his head back, leaned against the shore, and squinted his eyes.

"Yes..."

There was no blame as he had imagined, but instead a caring word. Bai's uneasiness disappeared, and two blushes appeared on his face for some reason. He imitated Wuxin, picked up the cloth wet with cold water on the shore, put it on his forehead, and leaned back.

It was snowing heavily outside, and the air was filled with steam. Wuxin yawned and drank by himself until he finished a pot of sake. Then he came to his senses and thought of Terumi Mei.

Wu Xin quickly stood up, took off his towel to wipe the water stains, and whispered to Bai in the hot spring:

"Let's go, Shiro."

"Yes!"

Bai quickly got up from the hot spring, imitated Wuxin's movements, grabbed the towel and wiped the water stains.

The two put on bathrobes, walked out of the bathroom door, and went all the way to the lounge.

In the lounge, Wuxin looked around and saw Mei Terumi at a glance.

Mei Terumi was lying on the sofa in a bathrobe, holding a magazine in her hand. She sniffed and raised her head. She saw Wuxin with red cheeks and asked softly:

"Drinking...?"

He sniffed his nose again, and after confirming that it was the smell of alcohol, he looked carefully at the red cheeks of Wuxin.

"Ah, I'm learning to be an adult. This house's sake is really good."

Wuxin smiled and answered softly, sitting on the sofa opposite to Terumi Mei, separated by a coffee table. Bai Cui stood on the edge of the sofa like a guard.

Noticing this scene, Wuxin whispered:

"Bai, find a place to rest."

Bai shook his head, motionless.

Mei Terumi looked at Wuxin and realized why the disciples of Wuxin she had met were so lazy, completely different from other ninjas who graduated from the Blood Mist. The source of their feelings lay with Wuxin.

Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol, and Wuxin never took the rules to heart, being lazy and lawless.

As if they were in sync, Wuxin said softly:

“It’s just a C-rank mission, there’s no need to worry about Takeya and Toda.

I only drink occasionally and I like the feeling of being tipsy.”

As he said this, he closed his eyes and dozed off to sleep.

Since one of Wuxin's three students was promoted, the Hidden Mist Village could form a team of up to four people. Wuxin specially accepted a C-level mission and invited Mei Terumi to join him.
