Shiro placed Zabuza gently in a huge dry tree hole, surrounded by dense bushes.
Not long ago, he carried Zabuza across a stream, and when his strength was almost exhausted, he slid down a slope and found such a secluded place.
Bai carefully checked around and after confirming that this place was extremely hidden, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, he really thought he was dead, but he didn't expect to be saved by a ninja who suddenly appeared and escaped inexplicably.
However, the situation of the two people is still very bad.
Those who want to kill Zabuza haven't gone far yet and may catch up with them at any time. The next one is Zabuza's injury...
Zabuza's injuries were relatively serious to begin with, and he was hit hard again just now. Even if there were no new fatal injuries, Zabuza's situation would become even more difficult.
Shiro looked back at the pale Zabuza, worried.
The herbs he finally collected have been used up just now, and the wound where the herbs were applied is still bleeding. He is not sure whether it can really stop the bleeding.
Zabuza shook his head, "Listen to what I have to say...just leave. If you drag it on any longer, you will die too."
"No, I'm not afraid of death if I don't kill you, sir." Bai said seriously.
"But why bother?" Zabuza asked, "They just want to kill me."
"Without Zabuza-sama, even if I survive, what's the point?" Haku shook his head.
Zabuza sighed heavily.
At this moment, the branch next to Bai moved. He immediately turned around, only to see the branch covering their traces being moved away, and a man wearing a black mask appeared in front of him.
This is……
Bai's mind went blank, but he quickly remembered this person again.
Not long ago, he met this masked man.
Almost without thinking, Shiro attacked with his backhand. The kunai only met the opponent's throat for a few centimeters, and his wrist was tightly grasped, unable to move.
"Who are you?" Bai said angrily.
"Zabuza, long time no see." Yusuke took off his mask and looked at Zabuza with a smile.
Zabuza was stunned for a moment, then reluctantly sat up, with a slightly sad smile on his face: "You seem to be doing pretty well."
"Isn't it good?" Yusuke raised his forehead slightly.
In the two years since he left Kirigakure Village, he had experienced a lot. He couldn't say he was doing well, but his gains were much greater than if he had stayed in Kirigakure Village.
"Probably... better than you."
Zabuza sneered, "You're not here to laugh at me, are you?"
"How can I have that intention?" Yusuke let go of Shiro's hand and said to Shiro, "The relationship between Zabuza and I can't be said to be good, but it can't be said to be tense either. Why don't you put away your kunai?"
Shiro turned to look at Zabuza, and when he saw Zabuza nodded, he breathed a sigh of relief and put away the kunai.
Yusuke himself took out the kunai and pulled off the bandage on Zabuza before Haku could react.
"What are you doing!?" Bai was anxious.
"He is a medical ninja." Zabuza stopped Haku.
"Medical ninja?" Shiro looked at Yusuke in surprise and immediately knelt down, "Please help Zabuza-sama."
Yusuke glanced at the whites of his eyes and smiled: "You are very lucky."
"Maybe it's just bad luck." Zabuza shook his head.
It's certainly nice to have someone by your side, especially a loyal child like Bai, but at the same time, such a child can also bring danger.
Without Haku, Zabuza would never be in this situation.
Yusuke touched Shiro's head and told him not to mind. Shiro looked slightly disappointed, but he still managed a smile.
"Since you are free now, why not talk about what happened in Kirigakure Village during this period. This way, I won't feel too bored." Yusuke motioned for Zabuza to lie down, and then began to use Palm Senjutsu to treat him.
Zabuza's current situation is very dangerous.
Not only because he was seriously injured, but also because the Akatsuki organization was chasing him.
If he uses "Activate" again, Zabuza will consume his own chakra, and it will take a lot of time just to recover his physical strength, which is very detrimental to Zabuza.
Zabuza sighed: "After you left, things changed drastically... By the way, why did you suddenly become a rebellious ninja?"
"This matter is quite complicated to say. In fact, before the seven-person competition started, I met the third generation. At that time, the third generation had already lost his memory. At that time, I knew very well that with my strength at that time, I wanted to become the seventh generation.
Everyone was simply talking nonsense, so I chose a very risky move, which was to take the Third Mizukage as my opponent. Of course, I was beaten to the point where I was unable to resist, but after surviving it, I improved significantly in strength.
Improvement." Yusuke said focusing on the key points.
"Is this why you suddenly became so powerful?" Zabuza suddenly realized.
He said that only one month had passed at that time, how could Yusuke's strength improve so quickly? It turned out that Yusuke met the third Mizukage.
"But why did he lose his memory?" Zabuza asked.
"Do you think I'm qualified to know?" Yusuke asked.
Zabuza remained silent.
The third generation's amnesia should have occurred after he left Mizukage, before Yusuke graduated, so it is indeed impossible to know the cause.
"Then, probably the second night after I defeated Ayuri, the third generation suddenly appeared, and I followed him, only to see the fourth generation Mizukage being attacked, and Igawa Takeshi was also on the spot. I wanted to go back to the village to find him
The Kiri Ninja helped me, but he attacked me secretly. The Third Mizukage risked his life and sent me away from the battlefield, and then I became a 'Rebel Ninja' inexplicably."
"You mean Igawa Takeshi colluded with outsiders!?"
Yusuke's statement confirmed Zabuza's guess.
After Yusuke was labeled as a "rebellious ninja", three people changed the most.
Two of them are the third and fourth generation Mizukage, and the last one is Igawa Takeshi - he is much more arrogant than before, even reaching the point where he can cover the sky with one hand, but the third and fourth generation Mizukage have no objections.
There were also people who couldn't stand him, such as the head of ANBU, Ogaki Yu. As a result, Takeshi Igawa arrested him and sent him to prison in the name of a "traitor," and Ogaki Yu died tragically in prison.
As for Yusuke colluding with ninjas from other villages, anyone with any brain would realize that it is impossible. At that time, Yusuke was just a medical ninja, with no access to secrets and no outstanding abilities. When people from other villages came to find him, they could only say
Blind.
In comparison, Takeshi Igawa is more motivated.
Therefore, even if the Kirigakure Village issued a wanted order for Terauchi Yusuke in advance, many Kirigakure Village believed the story on another reward list. Igawa Takeshi colluded with the outside village ninjas and took control of the Kirigakure Village.
However, with the support of the two Mizukages, the Third and Fourth Generations, anyone who is suspicious of Igawa Takeru's actions has almost only two options. One is to die in prison like Ogaki Yuu, and the other is to die in prison like Zabuza.
, become a rebel.
"Okay, I've already told you about what happened at that time. You should tell me how the village is doing now?" Yusuke asked.
Zabuza sighed, "You also know that I killed other graduates of the same class and forced the village to make changes, right?"
Yusuke nodded.
No matter what Zabuza thought at the time, that incident did change the pattern of the graduation exam.
"Now we have returned to the 'Blood Mist Village'... No, it is more dangerous than that time..." Zabuza sighed heavily.
