Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman.

A moment later, footsteps were heard, and Kakashi and Zabuza looked in the direction of the sound at the same time.

Kakashi looked calm, while Zabuza looked grim.

In fact, you don't need to ask to know that at this moment, there is only one person who can walk with such steps, and that is Remos.

If it was Bai, he would just jump back and forth on the tree and come to support Zabuza as soon as possible, instead of being so leisurely.

Gradually, as the figure approached, it turned out to be Remos.

He appeared in front of Kakashi and Zabuza, carrying a beheading sword in one hand and holding Bai in the other. Of course, Bai was quite tall, and Remos couldn't lift his feet off the ground, so Bai's feet were actually dragging on the ground, leaving two deep marks on the ground as he walked.

When Zabuza saw Bai, he immediately became angry and struggled to get up, but Kakashi used force on his hands to push him back.

There was a kunai across his throat. As long as Kakashi applied a little force, he could easily cut his throat.

"What did you do to Bai? How is he now?"

Zabuza asked loudly.

At the same time, he accumulated chakra and prepared for a desperate fight.

Remos glanced at him and didn't answer. Instead, he walked straight behind Kakashi and loosened Bai's collar so that Bai could lie flat on the ground.

"Solved, but a little troublesome."

Remus said.

This sentence made Zabuza even more furious, but he no longer planned to take action, because he saw that Bai's chest was still rising and falling, and there was no blood on the ground, which proved that Bai was only slightly injured and then fainted, and was not in danger of life. At the same time, he became more and more wary of Remos in his heart. This young man had no injuries on his body, and his breathing was very steady. What did this mean?

This means that his battle with Bai went smoothly and he defeated Bai easily.

How could a kid who had just graduated actually defeat Bai? No wonder Kakashi let him fight. This kid must be the most talented young man in Konoha Village in recent years.

In fact, Zabuza didn't know that Kakashi was also shocked now.

He also didn't expect Remos's battle to go so smoothly.

However, because he had known Remos's strength for a long time, he was relatively calm, at least he did not show any emotional fluctuations on the surface.

"it is good."

He nodded, then turned to look at Zabuza, "So, do you want to continue fighting?"

Zabuza was silent. He looked at Kakashi, then at Remos, and then at Bai.

After a moment, he finally let out a long sigh.

"Let him go. I give up."

"Okay, I will not only let him go, I will also let you go, but you must not cause trouble for the Wave Country again. The people here deserve to live a good life."

Kakashi said slowly.

Ninjas are a profession born for killing. Each of them is a most professional killing machine, but at the same time they are also human beings and will not take pleasure in killing for no reason.

Even if they encounter ninjas from other villages during a mission, they will not immediately engage in a fight unless there is a conflict in the missions or the two sides are in a hostile relationship.

Not to mention that it is a peaceful time now, and Kakashi and his companions do not have any life-and-death conflict with Zabuza. As long as Zabuza is willing to admit defeat and withdraw from this mission, he doesn't mind letting him go.

Of course, there is a more important reason, that is, Zabuza himself is not weak.

He is just not as good as Kakashi, but he is a jonin of Kirigakure after all, and he was able to escape after assassinating the Mizukage. This kind of thing cannot be done without some skills.

So no one can guarantee that Zabuza has no ability to fight back. Even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered, let alone a Jonin?

Kakashi didn't want to suffer casualties in the first mission, so Zabuza was willing to give up the mission and leave on his own initiative. This was the best option. He didn't want to force Zabuza into a desperate situation and then fight him to the death.

"Don't worry, I will withdraw from this mission."

Zabuza snorted coldly and said.

"Okay, I believe you, Remus."

Kakashi nodded and turned to look at Remos.

Remos curled his lips and threw the beheading sword on the ground. This action made Zabuza's eyebrows twitch, but he didn't say anything, just looked at him unfriendly.

Kakashi took one last look at Zabuza and left with Remos.

……

I don’t know how long it took, but Bai slowly woke up and found that he was still alive.

He thought of something and quickly got up from the ground. Before he could check the situation around him, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

"Don't be nervous, the battle is over."

It was Zabuza's voice.

"Mr. Zabuza!"

Bai quickly looked in the direction where the sound came from and found Zabuza sitting under a big tree with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Mr. Zabuza, how are you? Are you injured..."

"waste!"

However, the next second, Zabuza's angry curse suddenly sounded, "If you can't even beat a ninja who just graduated from school, what's the point of keeping you?"

Bai's body stiffened for a moment, then he lowered his head guiltily.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zabuza, I disappoint you."

"Humph, you've disappointed me many times, but I'm even more disappointed this time. When you go back, you must strengthen your training. Remember, don't let me see you fail again. If there is a next time, I will kill you with my own hands, because I don't need trash around me. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand."

Bai responded in a deep voice.

He was not angry. Even if he was called a waste, he accepted it all. He even secretly blamed himself in his heart, wondering why he was so weak and disappointed Lord Zabuza.

"Hmph, I understand. Well, tell me, what's the situation with that little devil?"

"Yes, the battle at that time was like this..."

Bai began to slowly recount the events of the battle.

Although he himself did not understand many things, as a subordinate, he had to tell Zabuza all of his experiences. The specific circumstances would naturally be analyzed by Zabuza himself.

At the same time, Kakashi took Remos away from Zabuza and Haku, making sure they didn't catch up.

Kakashi suddenly stopped.

Then his body shook violently, and he grabbed onto the tree trunk to avoid falling down.

"Kakashi, what's wrong with you?"

Remus asked quickly.

Of course he knew what happened to Kakashi. Wasn't it because of that eye?

"Sharingan is not something that can be used casually. I don't have Uchiha blood, so using this power naturally requires a lot of cost..."

Kakashi said breathlessly.

There was another reason why he chose to let Zabuza go, and that was because he had consumed too much energy and his chakra was almost unable to keep up.

In the original work, he fell into a coma shortly after the battle with Zabuza ended.

The Sharingan has extremely high requirements for chakra, which places a great burden on the user, especially the demand for Yin-attribute chakra, which is basically not something that ordinary ninjas can meet.

This is also the reason why, even though the Sharingan is very easy to use and can be hot-swapped and used by simply putting it into the eye socket, there are very few people in the ninja world who possess it.

On the one hand, the Uchiha are naturally strong enough, and even if some of their members die in battle, they will ensure that their bodies, especially their eyes, will not be left outside.

Of course, over the years, even if one eye is lost every ten years, there are still hundreds of pairs of eyes left out there.

So there is a second reason, which is the requirements of the Sharingan for the user.

The Uchiha clan may seem to have ordinary chakra, but in fact, as descendants of immortals, their chakra is quite terrifying, not inferior to the Senju clan which is famous for its chakra amount. It's just that the Sharingan consumes a lot of chakra, which makes their chakra not that terrifying.

But when you put the same eyes on other people, the difference will be immediately apparent, and Kakashi is a clear example.

He was one of the strongest jonin in Konoha, and a battle that was not very long-lasting almost drained his chakra, which shows how terrible the consumption of this eye is. Of course, this was also related to the fact that Kakashi had been on the road for a long time and had hardly rested.

But in short, the fact that Kakashi has been able to use the Sharingan for such a long time and his performance is no less than that of an ordinary Uchiha is enough to be called a gifted person.

"Can you still move? Or take a rest. They won't catch up with you."

Remus suggested.

"No, I'm fine..."

Kakashi shook his head and took several deep breaths to make himself feel a little better.

Then he put the blindfold down, mainly closing his eyes.

"Let's go, they are still waiting for us out front."

After saying that, the two continued on their way, and soon caught up with the group of four who had left earlier.

There are signs on the road, so you don't have to worry about not finding anyone.

Seeing that Kakashi and Remos were unharmed, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief, and then they continued forward, walking towards where Dazna lived.

Dazna’s home was not far away, and the group continued walking for half a day before arriving at Dazna’s residence and meeting Dazna’s family.

Needless to say, there was a lot of conversation during the journey. After being tired from the long journey, everyone ate something and soon lay down to rest.

Especially Kakashi, his condition this time is better than in the original work. He is just a little weak, but he is not unable to move.

Remus was in charge of the night watch.

After making sure everyone else was asleep, he raised his hand and formed a seal, leaving a shadow clone at the original location before disappearing silently into the night.

……

In the distance, not far from where the battle took place during the day, Zabuza and Haku were also resting.

Zabuza has already received the entire battle process from Bai. Although the details are not clear and there are many things that Bai cannot explain clearly, he probably already knows the situation of Remos.

"A special ability to attack from a distance... could it be a ninjutsu? Or some other bloodline limit..."

He guessed secretly.

There were so many strange and bizarre techniques in the ninja world, and without seeing it with his own eyes, he couldn't tell what kind of ability Bai had encountered.

But there was one thing that concerned him, which was that after that power hit his body, his consciousness would become blurred for a moment.

Of this Bai can be absolutely sure.

Because a similar situation occurred after he was hit by Remos' punch. Then he completely lost the ability to resist and was hit by three consecutive punches from the opponent and fell into a coma.

But after examining the injuries, Zabuza was able to confirm that the injuries on Bai's body were not enough to cause him to fall unconscious on the spot.

"So maybe this is a kind of illusion? Where on earth did this guy come from..."

Zabuza frowned and thought.

Suddenly, he heard a slight sound of footsteps, and he immediately stood up from the ground, grasping the handle of the beheading sword.

Bai's reaction was equally quick, and he immediately came to Zabuza's side.

They were facing the jungle not far away until a not very tall figure appeared in front of them.

"It's you?"

Zabuza looked at Remos and his eyes widened involuntarily.

He immediately looked around.

"Don't look. Kakashi isn't here. I'm alone."

Remus said softly.

"only you?"

Zabuza was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but frowned, "Did Kakashi ask you to pass on a message? What else does he want?"

This was Zabuza's first reaction.

"No, it has nothing to do with Kakashi. I have something to do with you guys."

Remos continued to walk forward, while saying, "You are rebel ninjas? That's perfect. I need someone to help me with something, and since you are no longer ninjas from the Omura, this is perfect."

His voice was not loud and his tone was very calm.

But when these words fell into Zabuza's ears, they sounded ten thousand times more unpleasant than the most unpleasant words in the world.

He was stunned for a moment and almost thought that he was hallucinating, or that there was something wrong with his brain.

But as he reacted, an emotion that was hard to tell whether it was anger or not grew from deep within his heart and quickly spread.

"Doing things for you? Ha, ha, ha, ha, little brat, do you know what you are saying?"

Zabuza was so angry that he laughed. He looked at Remos with an unprecedentedly dangerous look in his eyes. Even when facing Kakashi, his eyes had never been as terrifying as they were now.

It was a look like that of a wild beast, looking at Remos as if he wanted to eat him.

He could lose, even die, but he couldn't be insulted, especially by a teenage kid.

During the day, he was very annoyed with the kid, so he actually used his own weapon. If Kakashi hadn't been there, he would have killed the kid with a single knife during the day.

Originally, this matter was over and done with. He lost anyway, so he had to admit it.

But now this kid actually came over here and asked me to be his subordinate?

The murderous intent was boiling up uncontrollably.

Even though he had decided to withdraw from this mission, it did not prevent him from hacking the little devil to death right here.

"of course."

Remos seemed unaware of Zabuza's murderous intent and nodded slightly.

"I know you won't agree so easily, so let's fight. If I lose, you can take my life at any time. If you lose, you will be my subordinate and work for me."

As he spoke, Remos' hands were covered with two colors of domineering aura, and the white halo gathered again.
