Remnant bones

Why did the matter develop to the present situation... Bai is not surprised, or in other words, the hostility in the position has long been doomed to this result.

On his cheek, the fiercely mutated CKL shattered the mask of the Wuyin assassination team that did not belong to him, but had been worn for an unknown number of years.Looking at Naruto whose azure eyes turned into flirtatious gold, there were still wet tears on his tender cheeks filled with anger.

hate it?

Hate it... After all, he "killed" the boy from the Uchiha family who was friendly with him.

On her delicate and fair face, the deep red blood stains on the corners of her lips were particularly eye-catching, but she couldn't see the slightest fear of facing death...or in other words, her calmness was too abnormal.

He couldn't beat them... Bai knew it from the beginning.It has nothing to do with strength, maybe it's because he kept his hands everywhere that killed his retreat, but in fact, such an ending is not what he wants to see.

He is not afraid of death, but he does not want to die either.

Follow Zai Buzhan's side, use your best efforts to improve your strength, become an indispensable "sharp blade" in the opponent's hands, and accompany the opponent through the next ten, 20, 30 years... and even the entire journey of a lifetime.Such a wish is simple but difficult, but it is the only obsession that supports Bai to live.

Bai doesn't feel at all that being hunted down eight out of ten days, recuperating for one day, running around on missions for half a day, and squeezing in time to collect any useful information... There is nothing wrong with such a busy and dangerous day.

He can follow Master Zabucho, laying layers of traps to intercept and kill the stalker; he can use herbs and bandages to bandage the opponent after Master Zabucho is injured; Cook a rich and nutritious lunch or dinner with the cooking skills he stole from other places... He can do many, many things he wants to do, with Mr. Zabuzhan beside him.

Accompanying the man whose so-called childhood and humanity were obliterated by the blood mist - this obsession is pure, and the persistence contained in it is even more powerful and unpredictable.

So much so that when reality subverts his value as a "tool", it is Bai's own persistence that kills his self-existence.

...As early as when he accidentally heard the diagnosis of the genetic disease of the Minazuki clan that Big Brother Kaguya said to Zabuzhan.

"You...you weren't from that time..." A flash of sobriety flashed in the crazy eyes of the beast, and the punch at the vital point stopped less than one centimeter away from the target. The fox-turned Naruto was protected by the seal , reason was not completely engulfed by anger.Staring at that face that is definitely not unfamiliar, in the hoarse voice, there is unbelievable surprise...

The gentleness of that young man who collected medicine in the forest in the early morning... the other party was the first person who recognized his hard work, and the first person who told him that protecting a person's heart will make a person stronger, which resonated deep in his heart .

"Why stop?" Rou Rou's voice was weak because of the injury, and Bai Bai's expression was indifferent, but when he spoke, he was undoubtedly provoking the anger in the other party's heart: "I killed your important companion... you Can't you do it?

Looking back at Sasuke, whose life and death were unknown on the cold hard floor not far away, the impulsive Naruto still couldn't hold his breath, and punched him in the face: "Bastard!" the key.

"Hmm..." With a lot of force, Bai, who had no intention of defending or fighting back, was knocked down to the ground.He coughed twice with his elbows on the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth casually, and smiled lightly: "Where was your aura before? This kind of strength...but it can't kill me."

"People often make the mistake of letting go of the enemy who should have been killed out of sympathy and letting him live..." But they never thought that for those people whose failure means death, living is better than death. Pain exists.Standing up with a slightly staggering pace, Bai slowly raised his head, his black eyes were out of focus, and he was in a trance for a while: "Can you feel... the pain of having no dreams, no one needs, just 'living'. "

Naruto was silent for a while, and frowned, but there were two huge question marks in his eyes: "What do you want to say?" He always felt that he seemed to understand what the other party said, but he didn't seem to understand.

Oh, did he say it too jerky?Shiro tilted his head, and put it another way: "What Zabuku-sama needs is a useful ninja. You have deprived me of the reason for my existence." So... Uh, isn't it a bit irresponsible to shirk?

"Why...why for that guy!? He is working for the bad guy..." From a certain point of view, although some words are not expressive, Naruto at least understands it, but he is also angry. Leo: "Is this the only person who is important to you!?"

"Only this one..." In fact, there are Brother Hui Ye, Jun Ma Lu, Chong Wu, Xiang Lin can also be counted as one, but the one who can make him absolutely sacrifice his life, after all, is to kill another person: "If it was in the past , maybe there will be...my parents."

Just when Naruto thought he had found an opportunity to persuade the other party, and was about to speak, Bai's next sentence completely stunned him: "It's just that they are already dead."

"I was born in a small village surrounded by white snow in the country of water. My parents loved me very much at that time. I was really... very happy..." How long have I not thought of that childhood that has been covered in dust for a long time? memory.

As if he had found a rare confidant, Bai opened his heart to an unfamiliar "outsider" for the first time.Speaking of the happy past of Snow White Village, and the "reality" that is destined to end in blood and cold... "Hey, Konoha also has those families with special abilities? Like the easily recognizable Hyuga White-eyed Clan, and Ka Sharingan like the one Cassie has."

The sudden question made Naruto stunned for a moment, and then he responded: "I didn't pay attention to the white eyes or something, but Sharingan knows a little..." Mr. Kakashi once explained that the kind called Blood Succession Limit Moreover, Big Brother Huiye and Jun Ma Lu seem to be the owners of Blood Successor Boundary, but he has seen Jun Ma Lu's ability to pull out his own bones and use them as whips.That's an ordinary person, so they can't learn it!

"It's so good..."

Bai squinted his eyes, and smiled enviously without hiding his envy: "In Konoha, the Hyuga and Uchiha families are big families with real power, and they are worshiped and admired by everyone... They are also blood-successors. The country is an evil existence cursed by the devil, and everyone is killed."

It would be great if he was born in Konoha...but he doesn't regret it, at least he met Zabuza-sama.

"Wait, wait!" Naruto couldn't accept this diametrically opposed differential treatment for a while, and it was hard for him to imagine the so-called "fact" that Bai said: "You mean..."

"When my father discovered my mother's lineage, he killed her, and I killed my father." Bai smiled, but his usual gentle smile was slightly soaked in sadness.

"That's when I realized that death is not terrible... the most terrible thing is to live alone and not be needed by others." Looking up at the blond boy with the same aura as himself, Bai still smiled, crystal clear But the tears had already rolled down his face: "You can understand... From the time we met in the woods, I knew that you are very similar to me. It's like you want to become stronger and get everyone's approval... "

"As long as I don't behead my lord alone."

Not only agreeing, he wants to be the existence that will accompany that person for the rest of his life... After all, he is greedy: "My lord doesn't mind my abominable bloodline, he is the only one who is willing to take me in. And He said that he needed my blood successor... That happy look made me feel that I was exactly what he needed, and the power that blood successor brought became the only reason I could stay by his side."

"It's just... I don't have the qualifications to stay by his side any longer." Looking down at his palm, which is fair but with a lower body temperature than ordinary people, Bai couldn't laugh anymore: "'Tools' must be perfect Yes, with a 'tool' with 'flaws', it will only become a drag on Mr. Buchou."

For his body that was gradually eroded by illness, Zabuzhan delayed his long-planned plan, risking being discovered by the Wunin hunting team to undertake those underground hidden flowers that would reveal his identity.The reason for it was just a rare herb that was so precious in his daily medicine.

Just like this mission, Konoha will send a team led by Kakashi, an elite Jōnin, which really exceeded their expectations.Among them is the only surviving direct descendant of the Uchiha family, a blond kid with unknown power and great potential... Coincidentally, they are the children of Brother Kaguya's family.

The failure of this mission is doomed.

Even though he had already made up his mind, he still couldn't do it after all... And in the final analysis, if it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have taken on this mission that looked like it had no benefit at all.

No one knows better than him the sequelae of long-term use of Ice Escape.If it wasn't for the prescription prescribed by Big Brother Hui Ye, just a "Thousand Killing Shui Xiang" would be enough to force Zai Bu Zhan to take him to retreat for cultivation.From the beginning to the end, he was just an existence that hindered his progress.

"You..." Like an illusion, at that moment, Naruto seemed to see that slender figure being engulfed by a black cloud of despair.

"I'm sorry..." Naruto said.Using you to assuage his own guilt for seeking relief.Bai loosened his tightly clasped palms, and said slowly with a dull expression: "Kill me." Kill him, and don't behead him again. You don't need a "defective product" to hinder your way forward.

Then, there is no reason to lose to Kakashi if you don't kill the adults.

"...What tools and weapons! How do you make me agree! Do you exist for these!?" Although he is an enemy, Naruto really does not want the other party to die in his hands, although from the other party's words In the middle of the story, he could not find a reason to refute his empathy: "Aside from the war, there are other reasons for him to agree with you... other reasons for him to agree with you..."

"Naruto." There was a trace of helpless smile in Bai's tone: "You are a ninja." Therefore, it is only a matter of time before your hands are covered with blood... If this is the only way to protect your important people, whether it is him, Or he, have no choice, and can't escape.

"...Damn it!" Gritting his teeth tightly, the moment when Sasuke fell into his arms covered in blood was played back in front of his eyes.Naruto forced himself to ignite the killing intent, because he also understood the meaning behind it: "Is this the only way... If we change places, maybe we can become friends."

"Yeah." On the opposite side, the young man holding a kunai ran forward with all his strength, but Bai just pursed his lips and smiled lightly, turning his head.Before he was freed, he wanted to take another look at Master Bubu...

The sharp chirping like a gathering of birds reached everyone's ears.The thick fog was blown away, and the two figures gradually becoming clear in the distance made Bai's eyes widen involuntarily.

Don't behead your lord...

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"Naruto opened his eyes in surprise, but he couldn't see the shadow of the long-haired figure in front of him.

With the sound of "click", the noisy birdsong came to an abrupt end.

The ground was full of crushed ice, splashed with blood, and even the water mist that had not completely receded was also stained with the sweetness of blood.A hint of apology flashed in the depths of the black eyes, and Bai gulped down blood, obviously numb from the pain, but still clinging to the hand that penetrated his body.

I hope to be able to help Mr. Zabuzhan at the last moment... The moment before the consciousness quickly dissipated, the familiar aura behind him made the corners of Bai's lips curl up involuntarily.Being able to die in that person's arms may be the happiest thing for him... This is so good.

"Don't behead me again..." The cold blood loss took away his vision, and without the strength to look back, Bai murmured until the darkness completely enveloped him.

With the gradually icy body temperature of the slender body in front of him, the heart that did not cut it was also cold.The cruelty of reality made him unbearable. At this moment when he couldn't move, he even forgot the huge threat and the perfect counterattack opportunity in front of him, and his mind went blank.

Bai... dead?

The Bai who always followed closely behind him, always with a pure smile on his face, died... At that moment, reality and consciousness seemed to be separated into two worlds.If you don't kill him and just pretend that you are dreaming, how can Bai die?Once Xueji is fully activated, even he is not sure of defeating the opponent.How could that boy who grew up under his careful training...how could...

You're lying... Bai, stop acting like a baby~ This kind of joke is not funny at all...

However, the young man who had a perfect understanding with him and was always able to understand his needs first, this time, did not respond to his voice for a long time.

The blood splashed onto the ground drop by drop, and the sound of "tick, tick, tick" was so far away in Zabuzhan's ears.

"My future is only to die..." It seems that my mind was completely bound by an invisible cage at that moment, and I didn't even know what I was talking about. I once took the lead, but after vaguely aware of my feelings in the dialogue, it disappeared. The instinct that had disappeared for a long time controlled everything in his body for him: "Hehe...Kakashi, you are wrong again."

"Well done, Bai!" No one noticed his strangeness, and the freed "Zen Bu Zhan" gripped the beheading sword behind him, regardless of the possibility of injuring Bai, and slashed at the enemy: "I really picked it up!" Treasure! He helped me a lot at the last minute!"

Realize that in the eyes of the other party, it is the madness that destroys everything.Kakashi secretly thought it was wrong, so he could only grab the boy's body and fly back, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.Fortunately, the seriously injured Zabu Zhan's speed was greatly affected, far less than one-third of his usual speed.

"Naruto, just stand there and don't come over!" Kakashi stopped his subordinates from approaching, and Kakashi, who was completely irritated by the other party's words and actions, carefully laid the boy on the ground, and closed the pair of long-lost hands very softly. Bright black eyes: "Give him to me!"

Those who regard their companions as tools... are not qualified to live in this world!

From the ninjutsu fight at the beginning, to the hand-to-hand combat after CKL is exhausted.Kakashi showed the killing intent that he had rarely shown since he retired from Anbu, and every move was aimed at the vital point.

And the counterattack without slashing was unnaturally accompanied by a madness of dying together, and the two were evenly matched for a while.

It's a pity that the many wounds caused by the ninja dogs caused Zabuzhan to lose too much blood, and his physical strength consumption was much higher than that of Kakashi.After several rounds of confrontation, Kakashi was distracted by Sakura's cries in the distance, and the stalemate was delayed until now.

But that's all... His left arm was crippled in a surprise attack by the opponent, and he was panting heavily.The dizziness caused by blood loss made him dazed for less than a second, but it was enough for Kakashi to seize the opportunity to attack.

"That's it." Kakashi was holding the back of his neck with one hand, and the two kunai in the other hand exuded a gloomy cold light: "Goodbye, ghost..."

"What... um!" The hoarse exclamation came to an abrupt end, and before Zabu Zhan could catch his breath, he was knocked down by a blow to the head, and was firmly pressed to the floor...Look To be clear, knock down, not pierce.

Ignoring the astonished eyes of the ninjas present, the tall white figure in the middle of the fierce battle appeared at some point. With one hand, he grabbed the Kunai who had directly attacked the vital point before, but the kick was on the head of the non-beheading. He rubbed his hands viciously, making people wonder whether he was saving people or killing people.

He didn't care that the sharp blade cut the palm of his unprotected left hand, allowing the weird black-purple blood to flow along the blade to the wounded holder.

The person who came slowly narrowed his eyes, it was clearly in the afternoon of the sun, but the bright sunlight seemed to be completely sucked by his frosty white hair, the cold chill made people feel chills down his spine:——"If you don't cut it, You will die if you don't talk too hard once!"
