"It took so long, it seems your opponent is not an easy one, Kakashi-sensei."

Sakura asked Kakashi for confirmation.

"Indeed, he is very powerful and possesses a bloodline limit. He is a tough guy."

"The limit of blood inheritance?"

Sasuke, who was also a Blood Ninja, had his eyes light up, and he began to think about how to find an opportunity to fight this masked man.

"Yes, it's the Snow Clan's Ice Release Ninjutsu."

As he spoke, Kakashi glanced at Sasuke, as if he had sensed what he was thinking, and added

"In terms of strength, he is far above the level of a Chunin, and has reached the level of a Jonin."

Sasuke looked at Kakashi in disbelief, then turned to look at Sakura.

Sakura nodded at Sasuke, confirming Kakashi's statement.

Seeing that Sasuke had given up the idea of ​​challenging Bai, Kakashi threw Bai to the ground.

This woke up Bai, who was already exhausted and unconscious.

"Mr. Zabuza!"

After waking up, Bai completely ignored his bound hands and feet, and used all his strength to crawl towards Zabuza.

The intense exercise will also cause the mist mask on the white face to slip off, and the face that has been hidden for a long time will finally appear in front of everyone - it is a fair and beautiful face, as delicate and exquisite as a jade carving; the beautiful face is haggard and tired after the battle, which makes people feel pity; coupled with the scars all over the body, the whole person looks pitiful.

"There is such a beautiful young lady!"

Sakura was deeply attracted by Bai's stunning beauty. She couldn't help but sigh in admiration and her eyes even began to shine.

"Teacher Kakashi, you really went too far, you hit me so hard!

The binding technique was not decent, and she was thrown to the ground so roughly!

Don’t prisoners have human rights?”

Sakura stopped Bai who wanted to move around and scolded Kakashi.

He also took the opportunity to pinch her fair and smooth cheeks.

"Oh my god, how come her skin is so good! How does she maintain it?"

Sakura was inwardly surprised.

Kakashi's mouth twitched and he looked at Haruno Sakura with a resentful look.

It was you who asked me to deal with her just now!

How come your face changes so quickly?

However, at this moment, Bai didn't care about the eye contact between the master and the disciple. He only cared about Mr. Zabuza and wanted to get to his side.

So, Bai began to struggle violently again.

"Shiro, calm down!"

Afraid that Bai would hurt himself if he continued to force himself to move, Zabuza quickly spoke up to stop him from moving.

"Also, Haruno Sakura, Shiro is a man."

For some reason, the look that Haruno Sakura gave Bai made Zabuza feel uncomfortable, and Zabuza added this sentence as if possessed by a demon.

"is that a lie!"

Sakura wanted to deny Zabuza's statement from the bottom of her heart, but she knew in her heart that Zabuza had no reason to lie.

"Yes, I am a man."

Shiro, who stopped his actions, confirmed Zabuza's words as the person involved.

"Eh?!"

Everyone present, including Dazna, was shocked by the sudden reality.

Naruto was struck by lightning.

"Impossible! She's obviously cuter than Sakura!"

Naruto shouted in disbelief, pointing at Shiro.

For some reason, after seeing Bai's true appearance, Naruto suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart.

Just now, Naruto was even comparing the pros and cons of his childhood sweetheart (Sakura) and the one who came from heaven (Bai) in his mind.

Naruto, who was hit at this time, did not notice Sakura's murderous gaze behind him at all.

"Naruto, please stop talking nonsense."

Kakashi quickly reminded Naruto, otherwise with Sakura's wisdom, Naruto would not know when he would be killed.

You are still young, but you must understand the preciousness of life!

"Oh, Sakura, I'm sorry.

That guy is a man, and not as cute as you."

Naruto reacted quickly and hurriedly apologized to Sakura.

"Hmph!" Sakura curled her lips as if accepting his apology.

After all, Naruto was telling the truth. Although Bai was a cute blue boy, not to mention his appearance, he could not compare to him in terms of his extraordinary temperament.

Kakashi was slightly surprised when he learned of Bai's gender, but he soon noticed the change in the way Zabuza addressed Sakura.

This doesn't look like a proud ghost!

"Sasuke, did anything interesting happen while I was gone?"

Kakashi asked Sasuke with a smile.

After all, Sasuke can be described better than the erratic Naruto.

Sasuke repeated the conversation between Sakura and Zabuza almost verbatim.

Even the knowledgeable Kakashi was shocked by Haruno Sakura's meticulous mind.

Kakashi originally thought that Sakura's battle plan when snatching the bell was the limit of her ability; it turned out that it was just the limit of his own understanding of the battle of wits.

Even the Nara clan, who are famous for their resourcefulness, would be no match for this monster.

"Kakashi, you have taught a good student."

Zabuza listened to himself being whipped once again in Sasuke's mouth and praised helplessly.

"Well done, Sakura. This time you defeated a jonin entirely on your own.

In terms of wisdom, even the teacher can't compare with you."

Kakashi smiled and patted Sakura's head. Kakashi would not be stingy with praise for students who performed well.

Sakura's eyes smiled happily into two crescents, and she stuck out her tongue shyly.

Naruto also became anxious at this time:

"Kakashi-sensei, what about me? I think I acted very bravely!"

"Well... not bad."

"Humph, I thought you would be so scared that you couldn't move like last time, you loser."

Sasuke couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on Naruto.

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing like usual, Kakashi hurried to stop them.

"So, Sakura, I heard from Sasuke that you want Zabuza to help us. What exactly is the situation?"

Kakashi asked, having just stopped the two from arguing.

Sakura mouthed to Kakashi "cooperate with me" and turned to ask Zabuza.

"So what are you two planning?"

"We have decided to give up our target. I am at your disposal, but please spare Mr. Zabuza."

Before Zabuza could answer, Bai spoke first, his eyes full of determination and pleading.

"Shiro, don't make decisions for me without permission. They don't seem to want to take my life."

Zabuza said coldly.

"Okay, okay, as a captive, don't act out a melodrama.

You make us seem like the bad guys, but obviously you are the assassins and we are the protectors!

It is certain that you two have given up the mission to assassinate Uncle Dazna. What I am asking is what are your plans after this? You can't be a fugitive ninja for the rest of your life. "

Sakura asked, interrupting the two.

"Do we have a choice?"

"Of course there is a choice, and there are two paths."

Sakura held up two fingers.

"Two ways?"

Zabuza was curious.

"The first way, you can go back to Kirigakure."

"impossible!"

"impossible!"

Zabuza and Shiro shouted in unison.

Especially Bai, his whole body began to tremble involuntarily.

All of this stems from the indelible trauma caused to Bai's childhood by the Kirigakure's bloodline ninja elimination policy.

Because he possesses a special bloodline limit ability, he is also one of the targets of the Mist Village's elimination policy. The village where he lives is therefore slaughtered by the Mist Village ninjas.

Bai Neng was sure that if Mr. Zabuza had not saved him, he would have died on the road of fleeing and avoiding pursuit.

"Don't get excited, just listen to me first.

You may not know that the once very active Kirigakure pursuit team has basically had no activity records in the past two years.

This is also partly why I can see through Bai's disguise in an instant."

Sakura said, glancing at Kakashi.

Kakashi understood and immediately spoke:

"Yes, according to the records of Konoha Anbu, the Kirigakure's pursuit team has indeed disappeared recently. There are only a few sporadic records of them being dispatched, and they have not succeeded yet."

"What does this prove?"

Never ask again.

"According to the existing data, the time when the Kirigakure pursuit team began to lie dormant was exactly after the Fifth Mizukage took office."

Sakura then stated her speculation.

"That is to say, your Fifth Hokage must be dissatisfied with the policies of the Fourth Hokage, which is why he allowed the rebellious ninjas of the Fourth Hokage to go unchecked. It is even very likely that the Fifth Hokage himself came to power through a coup..."

At this point, everyone was once again shocked by Sakura's reasoning ability.

Especially Zabuza, before he defected, he knew that the small group headed by Mei Terumi seemed to be planning something.

"And even though you defected, you didn't have a scar on your forehead like other defecting ninjas did. You must still have feelings for your village.

In addition, you defected because you failed to assassinate the Fourth Hokage. In a sense, you and the Fifth Hokage have the same goal.

So your lives will not be in danger if you return to the Hidden Mist Village, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless, in addition to assassinating the Yondaime, you also have a bad relationship with the top leaders of Kirigakure. After all, judging from your personality, you must have offended quite a few people."

"What about the second way?"

Zabuza's answer confirmed Sakura's speculation that he did not have a good relationship with the higher-ups. Even if he would not be executed if he returned to the Hidden Mist Village, his life would probably not be easy.

What's more, although he still has feelings for the Hidden Mist Village, letting Bai, who witnessed the bloody atrocities of the Hidden Mist Village in his childhood, return to the Hidden Mist Village... this is really too cruel.

"The second way is to deal with Cardo and become a hero of the Land of Waves. Make the Land of Waves your home. Uncle Dazna will probably need someone to protect the bridge that he built with great difficulty."

Sakura's eyes turned serious.
