Momochi Zabuza, who was running at high speed, stopped, and his heavy breathing gradually calmed down.

He looked ahead. At the end of the white mountain road, a dark jungle covered the originally bare valley.

"The place the bird mentioned is right around here."

The fellow travelers following him had their feet on the towering rocks, and when they opened their mouths, they spoke in the usual tone of the stereotypical femme fatale woman——

The speech is slow and the tone is soft, but there is a murderous intention hidden in the stress changes in the enunciation of words.

Under the huge and thin crescent moon, bursts of hoarse wind surged out from the forest, blowing the woman's long blue dress that could be used as an evening dress without affecting the battle, and at the same time gently dancing to the opponent's knees.

of red hair.

"But I remember that there wasn't this pine forest before this one. I can't see the edge at a glance."

Terumi Mei raised her hand to straighten her hair, "To change the geographical environment so easily is indeed the product of the combination of water escape and earth escape..."

"Obviously, I synthesized Melting Release and Boiling Release many years ago, and I can be considered an expert in synthesizing blood successors.

"Only this, I have no clue, but now a little girl has learned it. I really have to admit defeat."

It can be heard that she is full of curiosity about the exclusive blood stains of the Ninja God Senju Hashirama.

"If you are so interested, then find a way to kill her and take her back for study. Maybe your confusion will be solved and you can be considered a credit."

Zabuza snorted angrily, then looked at the beautiful woman diagonally above him and lowered his brows: "Also, why are you covering half of your eyes at night? Will it not affect the observation environment?"

"Isn't there such a saying..." Terumi Mei covered the strand of red hair that covered her eyes with her left hand, stretched out her right index finger and placed it in front of her cupid-like plump lips: "Secrets make women more feminine."

"Don't always use lines from third-rate detective novels. A ninja is a ninja, and it doesn't matter whether he's a man or a woman."

Even though he said that, Zabuza was still aroused by Terumi Mei's secret.

"Speaking of which, no one seems to know what your right eye looks like. Could it be..."

"What's wrong?" Terumi Mei smiled jokingly, seeming to enjoy others guessing her complete face.

"Are you like that guy named Qing, who secretly had a white eye hidden behind your hair?"

Zabuza gave a guess based on a pragmatist's thinking.

[In that case, my wedding date will have to be postponed to the next life.]

Terumi Mei thought about how half of her eyes were white, and forced a smile: "I'm sorry. I swore when I was a child that no one would see my complete face until I get married.

"If you really want to know, introduce some reliable men to me. Of course, forget it, you are a weirdo like you who has no eyebrows, speaks poorly and likes to wrap his face in bandages. Secrets will make women more feminine.

But it doesn’t make a man more masculine.”

"There are so many demands."

Zabuza said nothing more and walked straight towards the black shadow.

"Didn't that bird tell us to wait here?" Terumi Mei reminded: "In order to ensure the safety of the child, I came here to be a guest honestly. Don't act on your own initiative and do unnecessary things for the other party.

Misunderstanding."

Hearing Mei Terumi mention "that child", Zabuza paused, and then retorted angrily: "It's your business to be an honest guest, I didn't come here for that useless tool.

The real purpose of my trip is to deal with that Wood Release ninja for the village."

"One mouthful, one tool, it's such an unpleasant thing to say "waste"..."

Terumi Mei teased: "I don't know who has to travel all night these two days, which makes me unable to even get a beauty sleep. After returning to the village, I have a blind date.

"Alas, it is because of this insincere character that there are so few people in the village who support you.

"I saw how confident Bai was in you before. I thought of you as a competitor. I didn't expect that there were only twenty-two people who chose you as Mizukage in the end. Thinking about it makes me laugh a little."

As if being touched on something that hurts him, Zabuza suddenly turned around gloomily: "So what, there are so many people supporting you, but as soon as that brat Gui Deng Man Yue came back, didn't those people also change their minds?

"He is now the one taking charge of the Mizukage. But as soon as that guy came on stage, he accused me of using Shiro to collude with the ninjas of Konoha..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the black outline of the jungle: "The man named Butterfly Ninja is now the most wanted criminal in the village.

"If I can kill her and take her back, not only can I get rid of this suspicion, but I can also gain the trust of that old guy from Master Yuan. Now that the other party has exposed his location, isn't this a God-given opportunity?

"What, you don't want to join me and turn around and slap that kid (Gui Deng Man Yue) in the face?

"Think about it. He made such a big mistake just a few days after becoming acting Mizukage. Maybe that position will go directly to you."

Terumi Mei shook her head, not being persuaded by Zabuza's too obvious fanning: "You take it too much for granted. You have also seen the fate of Moto Shinichi's group, let's not say whether we can do it..."

"Yuan Zhen died because they didn't understand the principle of using all your strength when a lion fights a rabbit, and they still divided their forces to fight in the woods. They deserved to die."

Zabuza was very persistent and rudely interrupted Terumi Mei's analysis: "Besides, while he was recuperating in the village, I was performing extremely dangerous tasks everywhere. Although that guy and I are both jounin,

The abilities are simply not comparable.

"No matter how strong this brat is, he has just awakened Mudun. How can he still be compared with the guy who slashed out a training ground with one sword?

"It's a miracle that such a character comes out once every 100 years."

"But have you ever thought about..."

Terumi meditated very comprehensively, "If you really do this, how will you face that child in the future?

"According to the letter that bird brought, Bai and the little girl named Butterfly Ninja seem to be very good friends."

"Let's not talk about the authenticity of the letter. In the life of a ninja, friends are just tools for mutual use, just like the relationship between you and me."

Zabuza gritted his teeth, and then said the most sincere words tonight: "In short, if you want to get rid of Shiro's reputation as a traitor, killing the owner of the bird is the only way at the moment! Otherwise, he will always face

The threat of pursuing troops.

"Whether you are willing to help me or not, I have to do it!"

It can be seen that in order for Shiro to return to Kirigakure legitimately, Zabuza has put all risks behind him.

After saying that, he no longer waited for Terumi Mei's response and went into the woods without looking back.

"Oh, you're obviously planning to do everything you can for the other party, yet you're still yelling about it."

Terumi Mei sighed regretfully, jumped down from the rock, and followed her leisurely.

After all, she couldn't really let her partner die.

"Zabuza, you have no self-awareness at all, whether it's your interpersonal relationships or your own strength."

Half an hour later.

Deep in the dense forest, in front of a mountain wall near Orochimaru's base, a white-haired boy with sharp teeth was practicing horizontal sword swings.

"Old witch!"

Gui Deng Shui Yue looked aggrieved and annoyed.

"Smelly woman!"

While wielding the weapon, he maintained a special breathing rhythm.

"Evil tree spirit!"

At the same time, he did not forget to vent his dissatisfaction with the butterfly ninja who taught him water breathing.

"When I am as good as the teacher -"

Originally, Yiyong promised to come back and teach him water calling without any other additional conditions.

"I must take off your hair..."

But as soon as Giyuu left, the Butterfly Ninja immediately changed his attitude and asked him to be responsible for distributing meals and cleaning the base.

Only after completing his daily work can he get an hour to practice water breathing together, and for 3/4 of this time, he was beaten.

"Inch by inch..."

It is conceivable that after a day's work, study, and the use of hydration techniques to recover from injuries, there was even less time left for him to train and consolidate himself.

Now he has been in school for three days, but he is still training the first type of water breathing, water slash, and his progress is very limited!

"Shave them all!"

Perhaps the accumulated dissatisfaction in his heart was too strong. This time he swung the sword with more force and his hands were slippery. Gui Deng Shuiyue actually threw the sword in his hand into the dark woods on the opposite side of the mountain wall.

However, the imaginary crisp sound of the knife hitting the ground was not heard. Instead, there was the familiar sound of the knife handle falling into someone's palm.

"Kimimaro? Shiro?"

Apart from these two people and Ran Wan, who was not very strong, Kiden Suigetsu could not think of anyone else who would come specifically to see him.

[Could it be that I ran away secretly and was discovered by the old witch? 】

But as soon as he took a few steps forward, he saw a tall figure.

The cowardly Gui Deng Shui Yue sensed something was wrong and retreated continuously. The uninvited guest followed suit and was soon exposed to the pale moonlight.

The person carrying a broad-edged sword was carrying a broad-bladed sword on his back. He had no eyebrows but fierce and sharp eyes. The bandage covering the lower half of his face added a bit of fierceness and mystery to him.

"You, you, you're not..." Kito Suigetsu stepped back and pointed at the opponent with his finger, "Aren't you the substitute for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen? The one named Zabuza..."

"Ghost lamp, water moon."

Because he had suffered a loss from this brat's brother not long ago, Zabuza looked at Suigetsu, who looked very much like the former, and narrowed his eyes slightly in disgust, "I didn't expect to meet Mizukage-sama's younger brother here, it was really unexpected.
To be continued...
