Except for a few pirates killed by Chojuro along the way, they encountered no other trouble.
"What do we do now?"
Chojuro looked at the two people and asked.
He knew Zabuza's strength, so he kept a long distance.
"Of course I'll meet them."
Li Xiang answered without hesitation.
"But... Zabuza is an extremely cruel guy. I'm worried that we won't even have time to say anything before he chases us and chops us."
Chojuro seemed a little wavering.
He is not afraid of fighting Zabuza. What he is afraid of is that Li Xiang will be killed and he will not be able to deal with Terumi Mei.
So he prefers a gentle touch rather than being so direct.
"Rumors are just rumors. If Zabuza was truly ruthless, he would not adopt Haku."
Li Xiang knew what he meant, "But we don't have much time left."
It is well founded and cannot be refuted.
But it was the second half of the sentence that impressed Chojuro.
He didn't believe that Demon Zabuza was such a bad person.
Adopting Bai must be just to cultivate tools.
"I'll go ahead."
Chojuro perfectly carried out Terumi Mei's orders.
Although he has personality problems, he is undoubtedly a qualified ninja.
"You should really leave the teacher."
Li Xiang said casually.
"ah?"
Chojuro looked at him subconsciously, not understanding what he meant.
"Because when you stay by her side, you will always be submissive, and she won't like you."
It can be seen from the original work that Terumi Mei likes men like Kakashi and Sasuke.
Of course being handsome is a prerequisite.
Li Xiang had no intention of deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors, so he established a relationship with Chojuro.
Maybe it will be useful someday.
"No, I don't like..."
Chojuro was overwhelmed by the call and immediately began to retort.
But he couldn't say that he didn't like her, and ended up looking very embarrassed.
"who?"
Zabuza and Haku sensed their approach.
Chojuro didn't care about being shy and looked wary.
"It's been a long time since I met a fog ninja who came to hunt me."
Zabuza saw the forehead protectors on the two men and recognized the double swords Chojuro was carrying.
He showed a cruel smile, held the beheading knife, and said: "Just enough to warm up, Bai, leave that little brat to you."
Chojuro immediately pulled out the flounder and glanced at Li Xiang from the corner of his eye.
It's like saying that I knew this would be the result.
"The purpose of our coming is not to hunt you down, but to invite you to go back and become the Mizukage."
Li Xiang's tone was very calm.
But the three people present were all surprised.
Chojuro winked hard, something was wrong with the plot.
Zabuza was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "Are you entertaining me?"
He has not been away from Kirigakure Village for a particularly long time, so he knows the situation in the village well.
Mizukage was indeed his target, but no matter what, it was not his turn.
Because Terumi Mei is more popular.
And he got the support of the Elder Yuanshi.
So according to normal procedures, it would be difficult for Zabuza to become a Mizukage.
"I came all this way and am not in the mood to joke with you."
Li Xiang said categorically, "If you miss today, you will never have another chance in the future."
Well, when the time comes, you will become the catalyst of Team 7 and contribute your own strength to the growth of Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke.
It can be said that he died a great death.
Zabuza heard the contempt in his words and said coldly: "Even without you, I will return to Kirigakure Village one day!"
"Mizukage is not about fighting and killing, but about human nature."
Li Xiang shook his head and said, "You can never become Mizukage."
After saying that, he jumped up.
The beheading knife was thrust straight into the position where he had just stood.
Changjuro cursed himself secretly and quickly stood in front of Li Xiang.
He apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now."
"It's okay, I understand."
Li Xiang replied to him, then looked at Zabuza and said, "It is even more impossible to become a Mizukage when you are angry."
A banging sound.
The beheading sword and the flounder collided together.
"Boy, I'm going to chop your head off!"
Zabuza had an irritable character to begin with, and when he was provoked by Li Xiang, he became extremely angry.
I'm already furious!
But Chojuro is not something he can easily solve.
"Look at your performance now."
Li Xiang is still outputting.
It is impossible to talk things over calmly with Zabuza.
In that case, let's give it a beating first.
Only Chojuro had a sad face.
He had no confidence that he could defeat Zabuza.
"Bai, kill him!"
Zabuza finally remembered his tool man.
Bai walked up to Li Xiang and said softly: "I'm sorry, you have to die."
The soft voice spoke cold and heartless words.
But Li Xiang understood that he was a gentle ninja.
"follow me."
Li Xiang turned around and ran away.
Extremely fast.
Bai was slightly startled and quickly followed.
Chojuro looked a little anxious when he saw this, but there was nothing he could do.
"Your name is Bai, right?"
Li Xiang stopped, introduced himself, and said, "Ghost Lantern Feiyue."
"What's the matter with you?"
Bai felt baffled.
I want your life, should your reaction be more intense?
He was taught by Zabuza and killed many people, but Li Xiang was the strangest one he had ever seen.
"I'm very good at reading people."
Li Xiang smiled and said, "You don't want to kill anyone, but you are willing to accept Zabuza's order, even if it goes against your heart."
Shiro in the original work is an extremely kind ninja who doesn't like killing.
But because of his tragic experience and being saved by Zabuza, he felt that he was needed and had the motivation to survive.
Even if it is used as a killing tool.
"Because I am Zabuza-sama's tool."
Bai said expressionlessly, "I exist because of him."
An expected answer.
"Tools don't have feelings, but you do."
Li Xiang shook his head.
Haku was silent for a moment and said, "I only have the feelings to protect Zabuza-sama."
"Okay, let's just treat it like this."
Li Xiang thought for a while and said, "If one day Zabuza orders you to leave, what will you do?"
"There will be no such thing."
Bai seemed to convince himself, "Because I am very useful to him!"
For him, what he fears most is of course being abandoned.
"If Zabuza is about to die and you can save him, but he doesn't let you save him, what will you do?"
"This is even more impossible."
Shiro did not remain silent this time and answered quickly, "Zabuza-sama doesn't care about me. He can sacrifice me to save him. He will definitely not hesitate."
"are you sure?"
Li Xiang asked back, "I told you that I am very accurate in judging people. Do you believe that Zabuza is the person who cares about you the most in the world?"
Bai's body trembled.
He obviously didn't believe it, but he hoped it was true.
"Want to try?"
Li Xiang talked about the purpose of his coming here this time, "We found that the water shadow of Kirigakure Village was controlled by someone, so we hope to help us if we don't go back."
"Did you lie when you said you wanted him to be the Mizukage?"
Shiro was still more concerned about Zabuza.
"No. As long as the control of the Mizukage is released, the next Mizukage may be put on the agenda. As a meritorious minister, Zabuza is qualified to compete for the Mizukage."
Li Xiang asked with a smile, "Don't you believe he can defeat other competitors?"
"Of course I believe it."
Bai said without hesitation.
"So you want to know what he really thinks of you? Just a tool?"
Li Xiang pointed to the direction of the battle and said, "Zabuza can't listen to anything right now, but you can make him quiet down."
"I don't believe your reasoning."
Bai was silent for a while and then said, "But I want to know whether it is true or false."
