Spoiler at the beginning, Brother Tuzi, can you really open your eyes to this?

"Here are the herbs that grow everywhere..."

A hurried sound of footsteps approached, bringing with it a face full of joy.

He was Bai, and at this moment he had taken off his combat attire.

She changed into a light pink kimono and had a pretty face. If you didn't mention her gender, I'm afraid everyone would mistake her for a gentle and lovely girl.

Bai bent down gently and carefully put the herbs one by one into the wooden basket in his hand.

Suddenly, he turned his head sharply, his eyes alert, as if he had caught the scent of something approaching.

"Is it him?" Bai was slightly stunned, his eyes fixed on the person who came.

Not far away, Uzumaki Naruto was chasing several wandering samurai in a helpless manner.

"Hey, don't run away. I won't kill you. At most I'll just break your arms and legs."

Those wandering warriors ran for their lives, with fear on their faces, as if a man-eating monster was chasing them closely.

However, Naruto's words not only failed to reassure them, but instead accelerated their fear. What kind of tough guy had they encountered?

Cut off arms and legs?

For a wandering warrior who makes a living by using force, this is more difficult to accept than death.

This means they will lose all their prestige and source of livelihood.

They also didn't understand why they were being hunted down by this little devil when they had only taught a few people they disliked a lesson.

Most of the team of more than ten people were knocked down in the blink of an eye, leaving only these few people running for their lives.

Seeing that the wandering samurai showed no signs of stopping, Naruto lost his patience and leapt in their path.

"Ah!"

The wandering warrior screamed in fear.

This guy is obviously so fast, but he has been hanging behind. Is he deliberately teasing them?

"Really? How far do you think you can run?"

Naruto looked slightly displeased and started rubbing his hands together.

"Master Ninja, we know we are wrong. We really know we are wrong! Please forgive us. We will never dare to do it again."

With a thud, the wandering warriors fell to their knees neatly and begged for mercy from Naruto.

"You don't know you are wrong, you just know that you are going to die." Naruto shook his head.

After that, he stopped talking and started to work.

"Ugh..."

"what!"

Howls arose.

In a moment, all the wandering warriors fell to the ground, their limbs twisted, their faces filled with pain and hideousness.

Naruto put his head in his hands, not even bothering to look at them, and walked away in a good mood.

Sasuke was right, mercy should only be given to kind people.

The only right way to deal with evil people is to make them feel pain.

"Naruto."

A call made him stop.

He turned back in confusion, trying to identify the owner of the voice.

Turning around, he saw a gentle figure quietly gazing at him among the bushes not far away.

If the other party hadn't spoken, it would have been difficult to detect his presence.

Naruto slowly approached with curiosity and looked her up and down: "Sister, how do you know my name is Naruto?"

"Oh... I didn't scare you just now, I hope. Those guys are not good people, don't get me wrong."

Naruto scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

Bai covered his mouth and chuckled: "I understand."

"So what are you doing here, sister?"

Naruto looked at the basket in Shiro's hand, which was filled with weeds he didn't recognize.

"I'm picking herbs."

After Bai answered, he bent down and continued to work.

"Herbs? Sister, is your family sick?"

Naruto also squatted down beside him and helped pick the herbs on the ground and put them into the basket.

"Thank you." Bai smiled gently.

"By the way, sister, how do you know my name?"

Naruto asked curiously while staring at Bai's smiling face.

"Well, I can't reveal it now." Bai thought about it and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Well...are you still going to keep it a secret?"

Naruto rested his chin on his hand, not discouraged at all, but responded with a smile: "Then I will wait for the day you reveal it."

"okay……"

Bai's smile was still warm, but a sigh quietly passed through his heart. He vaguely felt that perhaps it would be difficult for them to have any intersection in the future.

"Naruto, thank you for your help. I should go back now."

Bai stood up, his basket already filled with various herbs.

"Goodbye, sister."

Naruto waved goodbye to him.

Bai's figure was getting farther and farther away, but just as he was about to disappear, he stopped.

It seemed as if something was stuck in his throat, but he didn't say it and turned and left.

Looking at Bai's gradually blurred back, a hint of doubt flashed in Naruto's eyes. Why could he feel Zabuza's aura on Bai?

"Naruto, stop looking. The little girl has gone far away."

In the sealed space, the Nine-Tailed Fox's joking words made Naruto blush for a long time.

"Ku Lama, what nonsense are you talking about..."

"You are so lucky at such a young age. Konoha has Hyuga Hinata. He went out on a mission and captured the heart of some girl."

"Nine Lamas!"

"Humph, I won't talk to you anymore!"

Naruto was so embarrassed that he simply ignored the Nine-Tails.

He turned and left, walking past the wandering warriors who were still groaning on the ground without even a glance at them.

He will continue patrolling the Land of Waves until he finds Cardo.

………………

"These herbs should allow Mr. Zabuza to recover quickly."

Bai thought expectantly, holding the basket of herbs in his hand, and stepped closer to Zabuza's hiding place.

They had changed their hiding place and came to a dilapidated house that had been uninhabited for many years.

However, after turning a corner, when the hiding place came into view, the smile on Bai's face froze instantly, replaced by cold severity.

The hut was surrounded by a crowd of people, and Bai recognized several of them at a glance, "They are Cardo's people!"

"Why are they here?!"

"Oh no! Mr. Zabuza is in danger!"

Bai came to his senses and immediately ran towards the hut.
