Remnant bones

In the dense forest shrouded in mist, a black shadow disappeared secretly in the dark depths one after another.

Among the two groups of people in the front and back, the two figures, one big and one small in the front row, would leave behind a faint fishy and salty smell every time they passed through the dense branches and leaves.

"Ha, huh—ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Panting heavily, the petite figure was a bit exhausted after three consecutive days of fleeing. A staggered figure almost fell to the ground, but at the critical moment, he was held by his side. The masked man with a big sword even grabbed the lying waist.

"Huh, huh... again, I won't behead you again... I'm sorry." He hurriedly stabilized his figure, the Anbu mask used to disguise his identity had already slipped to the side, Bai raised his head, his handsome face, which was not as beautiful as a boy, was slightly pale, but The gentle smile on the corners of his lips that has never been lost conceals his exhaustion perfectly: "It's Bai's feet slipping, there will be no next time..."

If it weren't for the thin and frail body within reach, trembling uncontrollably due to excessive overdrawn physical strength, I would probably really believe his "lie" if I didn't cut it.And judging from his familiar performance, this is obviously not the first time.

"Take a break." Even though he knew that stopping now would be no different from courting death.Bu Zhan frowned, but still gave the order like this.

As he said that, he landed on a relatively hidden branch, and hid the limp Bai inside.He pulled the bandage on his face that was somewhat airtight due to layers of blood stains, and fixed the handle of the knife on his hand, and then said in a deep voice: "I'll go and lead them away. See you at the Wulin Villa before sunset."

"Wait!" Bai Nan concealed his panic and stretched out his hands to grab the other party's trousers, insisting in a rare disobedience of orders: "I want to go too!"

"Let go." Looking at the white and slender palm, she trembled a little because of her cold and harsh words, and subconsciously wanted to let go, but forcibly violated her instinct.The hostility in the eyes is even worse, but there is an undetectable worry hidden: "I don't need a waste that can only be used as a fuel bottle!"

"Don't kill my lord again!" Bai's face turned slightly blue due to fright, but he never let go: "Bai is a tool for not to kill your lord again. Even if Xueji can't be used, at least it can be your shield...I don't want to fight with you!" Separate! I..."

"Fix body technique!" Following the formation of a handprint, Bai, who couldn't detect it in a panic, was suddenly fixed there, unable to move, and even unable to speak.

"It's a tool, so don't disobey the master's order, just this one time...Bai!" Sensing the approach of the enemy behind him, Zabu Zhan hastily warned, and jumped down.After carefully covering up his traces, he ran in the opposite direction.

...don't behead your lord again! ! !

Bai opened his eyes and was about to burst, struggling desperately, but CKL and physical strength had reached the limit, and he couldn't move an inch.Clear tears slid down the blood-stained cheeks, and the gleam in the dark eyes disappeared with the disappearance of the tall figure.

For a moment, the depths of the dense forest were silent, as if there were no traces of life left.

Whoever it is, whoever it is...

Through the three-finger-wide gap, one can look into the distance at the secluded forest covered by layers of branches and leaves.The expression in the black pupil was empty and numb.Bai never believed in the existence of God, but at this moment, he can only pray in his heart...

He wants to die by Master Zai Bu Zhan's side, he doesn't want to be abandoned again, don't...

"Bai?" In the ear, a cold and deep male voice suddenly sounded.

Bai Bai opened his eyes wide in surprise, but found that his whole body loosened, and the invisible force that imprisoned him before disappeared without a trace: "Hui, Brother Huiye...don't kill the lord, don't kill the lord..." Wei Wei When he finished speaking, Mu Ran's relaxed nerves darkened his eyes, and he passed out.

"Bai..." I sighed softly looking at the frail young man who was still tearing at my collar until he fell into a coma.

——If you don’t kill that guy, you’re really an idiot!

————————————————————

"Idiot!" Tightening the bandage in my hand with a frosty face, I sneered and laughed: "You can't even hold a knife, and you are trying to deal with twenty elite Mist Ninjas by yourself. Immortal reincarnation?"

"Hmm!" Zabuzhao, who was not given anesthesia, was so painful that the veins on his forehead were bulging, the bandage on his face had already been cut off, and his sharp canine teeth creaked from the severe pain, but he didn't even utter a word when he acted violently towards me. Shout out.Obediently let me correct his misplaced phalanx.

On the other hand, Bai, who was forced by me to be an "apprentice", continued to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead with a distressed face. His pale face looked more like a patient than a seriously injured one.

"What's the matter... don't want to admit my stupidity?" I took off the few remaining bones that were still in place, and pressed them back without fear of trouble.Because of the "special service" I came and went back and forth, I was so angry that I couldn't cut my teeth, and my eyes were fierce, and I had the urge to stab me into a sieve.

"Kaguya-kun Mai..." With a slight gasp accompanied by the sound of grinding teeth fiercely, I am afraid that in the face of a life-and-death duel, it would not be so angry if you don't cut it: "If you talk nonsense, I will tear you apart!"

"If you don't mind waking up one day to find that Bai died silently on the bed..." After pressing back the last phalanx, I tied a fancy bow with a blank face, narrowed my eyes and said indifferently : "I welcome you to tear me up anytime."

If he didn't cut his body and froze, his eyes became even more fierce, but he didn't answer any more words.

"Brother Huiye! It's because I'm too weak to drag you down, please..." Realizing that the atmosphere between us is not right, Bai couldn't help but interjected to explain, but was stopped by Zabuza who withdrew his hand.

"Bai is an indispensable and important 'tool' in my hands, but I am not a man who has to rely on 'tools' to save his life. A person who can't even hold his own weapon is not worthy of being a ninja." Withdraw your hand and move carefully Seeing the palm of his right hand that had barely recovered its proper appearance, he calmly reversed his previous impulsiveness and irritability: "It's your job to cure him."

After finishing speaking, he stood up, picked up the coat on the back of the chair and draped it over his shoulders, covering the bandages all over his body, turned and left the room.

"Remember what you said." I responded casually, turned my head, stretched out my hand and rubbed the little black head beside the bed, and said with a cold and gentle smile, "Now you feel at ease?" That "ghost man", it's the limit to let him say these words... he knows how to use me, this cunning little guy~ "Yeah~" Bai Bai smiled, the taste of happiness is self-evident.

————————————————————

It has been a week since I left Muye Village.

It was originally planned to meet them in the Land of Waves after I solved the two herbs that were relatively easy to obtain in the letter alone.However, the communication was suddenly cut off halfway, which gave me a bad feeling, so I set off early.As a result, on the way, I felt that the hair button I gave Bai was nearby.He changed the road temporarily, but he had time to save his life just before Zabuzhan and Wu Ninja who were chasing and killing him died together.

I planned to fill up the missing medicine after I settled them down, but I happened to find out that the owner of that herb happened to be heading to a town near the country of Waves recently.With the distance between the two places, it is convenient to go back and forth. If something happens to the two injured patients here, I will come back to help at that time.

Due to the above reasons, I stayed with them. In my spare time, I would teach Bai Xueji skills, check his physical condition, and occasionally change his medicine for Zai Buchou, and usually go out to buy medicines... Time flies quickly In a blink of an eye, more than half of the herbs on the list were collected.

"Finch grass..." I drew the name of the herb I just got. I raised my eyebrows, thinking about where the last one on the list abounds, and I couldn't help muttering in relief: "There's only one more... So in time."

"Brother Huiye~" Bai, who had just finished training, still had beads of sweat on his forehead.I saw him holding the snow sculpture and entering the door with unconcealed joy, and said to me: "It's a letter from Jun Malu!"

"Thank you." Putting down the pen, I thanked with a light smile, then picked up my own letter and read it.

During the period of leaving the village, nothing major happened.Naruto and Sasuke, the pair of enemies, were still in the same team when they were grouped into the ninja group. One was the first in the grade, the other was the last in the grade, and another Haruno Sakura, who was the first in the theory class, was still in the same team.This distribution of strength seems reasonable, but in fact it is just because it is easier to monitor these two special characters together. The girl is a buffer, and the teacher who leads the team is undoubtedly... Kakashi's active ninja.

Before Kakashi retired from Anbu, he also led the team under the code name because of insufficient numbers.But because he is too lazy and he finds it troublesome, the pass rate of the survival drill he hosted once reached a record low in Konoha's history - zero.As a result, there were very few real graduates in those classes, and those who were rebuilt accounted for 70.00% of the next class of students.

This time, because of the special care of the third generation, there is no doubt that the group of the seventh class passed.It's just that Kakashi is not a really obedient character, so it's no wonder he didn't embarrass the three little ghosts.

However, according to Jun Ma Lu's understanding in the letter, the passing of the group of little devils was surprisingly not worthwhile.

However, with Naruto's "accidental NO. 01" ninja, it seems that this is not an accident, but "natural".

And the rest are nothing more than interesting things that happened when the seventh class performed its mission.Those strange D-level tasks obviously made them have enough fun, walking the dog, pulling weeds, clearing the river, catching the pets who ran away from home for the daimyo's wife... It's a good thing they can persist until now, Naruto's hyperactive child I can't bear it anymore!

As I expected, Junmaro told me in the next paragraph that Naruto got a C-level escort mission without knowing what method he used.According to the mission confidentiality principle, he only knew that the client was a master bridge builder, but he did not know the destination of the mission.

"Speaking of which, this is Naruto and Sasuke's first time out of the village." Looking at the content above, I couldn't help chuckling. C-level escort missions generally do not involve ninjas, and with Kakashi leading the team, it can only be regarded as an outing.

"Naruto and Sasuke? Those two kids who Konoha lived with Brother Kaguya?" Sitting next to me, Shiro couldn't help asking curiously: "They just became Genin, what's wrong? I can see Do you see?"

Although I haven't finished it yet, after I glanced at it to make sure there was nothing I couldn't show him, I handed it to him directly.While watching, Bai couldn't help covering his mouth and grinning. It wasn't until he saw the last page that his eyes showed a trace of surprise, and he couldn't help asking worriedly: "Brother Huiye, Junmalu's body has recovered enough to be able to go out. Is the task done?"

"A mission?" I took the letter and frowned. Sure enough, in the last paragraph, Junmaro told me in a casual tone that he picked up a person who was going to Sand Hidden Village, the Land of Wind, shortly after Naruto and Sasuke left the village. mission.

That stubborn, disobedient brat...

"Brother Huiye?" I didn't get an answer for a long time, and my silence made Bai's uneasiness deepen.

"...It's nothing." If Jun Ma Lu had taken the medicine obediently, this period of time happened to be the stable period of his condition... It can be said to be the calm before the storm.I put away the letter and signaled him not to worry: "Appropriate activities will also help his condition get better, and he has his own measure."

"That's good." With my assurance, Bai heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, those who were almost healed from their injuries would not be cut again, and came back after wandering around.As if there was some important clue, he went straight into the room without dismissing Bai, and said to me: "Bai's main medicine has led me to news, and the white stinging flower you want is in the same person's hands."

"Who?" I straightened up and asked seriously.

"Very close. A year ago, a smuggler and drug lord who just stationed in the Kingdom of Waves, a well-known villain in the wealthy world..." Even the bandages couldn't cover up the ferocious arc that slowly rose on the face of Zabuchou. Seeing him squinting his eyes, he slowly said word by word: "The boss of the world's number one shipping company—Ka Do."
