Chapter 108 Encounter
"This place is overgrown with medicinal herbs..."
A series of hurried footsteps approached, bringing with them a face brimming with joy.
He was Bai, and at this moment he had shed his battle attire.
She changed into a light pink kimono, and her face was delicate and beautiful. If her gender were not mentioned, everyone would probably mistake her for a gentle and lovely girl.
Bai gently bent down and carefully placed each medicinal herb into the wooden basket in her hands.
Suddenly, he turned his head sharply, his eyes wary, as if he had caught the approach of something.
"It's him?" Bai Weiwei was taken aback, her gaze locking onto the newcomer.
Not far away, Naruto Uzumaki was chasing after several wandering samurai with a helpless expression.
"Hey, stop running! I'm not going to kill you. At most, I'll just break your arms and legs."
The wandering samurai ran for their lives, their faces filled with terror, as if a man-eating monster was hot on their heels.
Naruto's words, instead of putting them at ease, intensified their fear. What kind of formidable opponent had they encountered?
Severed arms and legs?
For a wandering samurai who makes a living through violence, this is more unbearable than death.
This means they will lose all their prestige and livelihood.
They couldn't understand why simply teaching a few disliked civilians a lesson had attracted this brat's pursuit.
The small team of about ten people was wiped out in the blink of an eye, with only a few left running for their lives.
Seeing that the wandering samurai showed no sign of stopping, Naruto lost his patience and leaped into their path.
"Ah!"
The wandering samurai screamed in fright
This guy, despite being so fast, is he just hanging behind us, is he deliberately teasing them?
"Seriously, how far do you guys think you can run?"
Naruto looked slightly displeased and began to rub his hands together in anticipation.
"Sir Ninja, we know we were wrong, we really know we were wrong! Please forgive us, we will never do it again!"
With a thud, the wandering samurai knelt down cleanly and swiftly, begging Naruto for mercy.
“You don’t know you’re wrong, you just know you’re going to die,” Naruto shook his head.
Having said that, he stopped talking and took action immediately.
"Ugh..."
"what!"
Wails rose from all sides
In an instant, all the wandering samurai lay on the ground, their limbs twisted, their faces contorted in pain and rage.
Naruto put his hands behind his head, not even deigning to glance at them, and turned to leave, in high spirits.
Sasuke is right, mercy should only be given to kind people.
The only way to deal with evil people is to make them experience suffering.
"Naruto"
A call made him stop in his tracks.
He turned around in confusion, trying to identify the owner of the voice.
Turning around, he saw a gentle figure gazing quietly at him from among the trees not far away.
If the other party hadn't spoken up, it would have been very difficult to notice his presence.
Naruto approached slowly with curiosity, looking the other person up and down: "Big sister, how did you know my name is Naruto?"
"Oh... I didn't scare you just now, did I? Those guys aren't good people, don't misunderstand."
Naruto scratched his head and gave an awkward laugh.
Bai covered her mouth and chuckled softly: "I understand."
"Then what are you doing here, sister?"
Naruto looked at the basket in Haku's hand, which was filled with wild grasses he didn't recognize.
"I'm gathering medicinal herbs."
After answering, Bai bent down again and continued working.
"Herbal herbs? Sister, is someone in your family sick?"
Naruto also squatted down beside him, helping to pick the herbs from the ground and put them into the basket.
"Thank you," Bai smiled gently.
"By the way, sister, how did you know my name?"
Naruto stared at Haku's smiling face and asked curiously.
"Well, I can't reveal that right now," Bai thought for a moment, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.
"Well... are you really going to keep me in suspense?"
Naruto, chin in hand, showed no sign of discouragement. Instead, he smiled and replied, "Then I'll wait for the day you reveal the answer."
"okay……"
Bai's smile remained warm, but a sigh crept into his heart; he vaguely sensed that perhaps they would never cross paths again.
"Naruto, thank you for your help. I should go back now."
Bai stood up; his basket was already full of all sorts of herbs.
Goodbye, sister.
Naruto waved goodbye to him.
Bai's figure receded into the distance, but just as he was about to disappear, he paused.
It seemed like there was something stuck in his throat, but he ultimately didn't say it and turned to leave.
As Haku's figure gradually blurred, a hint of doubt flashed in Naruto's eyes. Why did he feel Zabuza's aura on Haku?
"Naruto, stop looking, the girl has already gone far away."
Inside the sealed space, Kurama's teasing words made Naruto blush for quite a while.
"Nine Lama, what nonsense are you talking about..."
"You little rascal, you're quite the ladies' man at such a young age. You have Hinata Hyuga in Konoha, and while you're out on a mission, I wonder which young lady you've captured the heart of now."
"Nine Lamas!"
"Hmph, I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Naruto was so embarrassed that he simply stopped paying attention to Kurama.
He turned and left, not even glancing at the wandering samurai still groaning on the ground as he passed by, and walked straight past them.
He will continue patrolling the Land of Waves until he finds Kado.
………………
"These herbs should help Zabuza recover quickly, right?"
Full of anticipation, Bai, carrying the basket of medicinal herbs, approached Zabuza's hideout step by step.
They had changed their hiding place and arrived at a dilapidated house that had been abandoned for many years.
However, as he rounded a corner and the hiding place came into view, the smile on his pale face froze instantly, replaced by a cold, stern expression.
The hut was surrounded by a crowd, and Bai immediately recognized a few of them. "They're Kado's men!"
"How did they get here!"
"Oh no! Zabuza-san is in danger!"
Bai snapped out of his daze and immediately ran towards the cabin.
Chapter 109 Threat
boom! !
Inside the house, a sudden loud bang!
One of Cado's men was thrown directly outside the house!
The man knocked down several people, who lay on the ground groaning in pain.
