A convenience store opened in Naruto

"You are the one who is completely trapped in the jutsu," Kakashi said, "The fog is about to dissipate. Your future is only death."

Zabuza was too confident in his Mist Hidden Technique, so confident that he didn't believe anyone could find him in his home turf, which is why Kakashi said this to him in return.

Indeed, the thick fog blocked Kakashi's vision, limiting the range of his vision, but to find someone, one doesn't have to rely solely on eyes, one can also use smell and hearing.

Animals' sense of smell is much more sensitive than humans'.

Humans have ninjas, and animals also have various types of animal ninjas, which are called ninja beasts.

To put it simply, the difference between ninja beasts and ordinary animals is that the former have practiced, while the latter have not.

The former are more intelligent and can understand human speech. Some can even have conversations with humans.

However, ninja beasts generally do not move around in the ninja world. They usually sign contracts with ninjas and become the latter's summoned beasts. They will only come out when the latter summons them.

The strength of ninja beasts should not be underestimated, and they are the fighting partners of many ninjas.

The ninja dog is Kakashi's summoning beast. He himself is restricted, but his summoning beast is not.

Ninja dogs, all of them have the word "dog" in their names, so you can imagine how sensitive their noses are. Zabuza, who was hiding in the thick fog, could not escape their pursuit at all.

Neither Zabuza nor Haku had summoning beasts, so when they were making plans to deal with Kakashi, they didn't even think about summoning beasts.

It was only after seeing the ninja dog that Zabuza finally reacted, but he still said stubbornly: "Put away your bluffing, I..."

"Don't be so stubborn," Kakashi interrupted Zabuza's stubbornness, "In this situation, there is nothing you can do. You will die."

Kakashi narrowed his eyes and said, "Zabuza, you are a little too proud. Your ambition is too big."

"After the assassination attempt on the Mizukage and the failed coup, you had no choice but to take a few of your subordinates to the wilderness and become a fugitive ninja. Word of your deeds soon spread to our village."

"To raise funds for revenge, but also to escape, to pursue the ninja and get revenge, that's about the reason, right?"

"You're hanging out with a pest like Cardo?"

Zabuza sneered, "You are aloof, you are amazing. If something like that happened in your village, I don't believe you would do better than me."

What he said was correct. Ye Feng even wanted to applaud Zabuza. In Ye Feng's opinion, Zabuza did nothing wrong. The village was not a one-man show for the Kage. The village belonged to everyone.

Why can Ying give orders to kill people at will, and others would be considered traitors if they want to resist?

Kakashi did not answer Zabuza's question. If it were normal, he wouldn't mind discussing it with Zabuza, but now, he was worried about Naruto's situation and had no intention of discussing it with Zabuza.

He just said, "Zabuza, you think I am powerful only because of my Sharingan, then this time, I will show you my own ninjutsu that is not copied."

He quickly formed seals with his hands, and blue chakra appeared under his feet, forming a circle that encircled him. Strands of chakra, flashing with electric light, were drawn and gathered in the palm of his right hand.

"How is it possible? The chakra on my hands is visible to the naked eye." Zabuza was shocked. He was also a ninja and a master of ninjutsu, but he couldn't do this.

Most ninjas would release ninjutsu right after forming hand seals, but he had never seen one where chakra was gathered and compressed before being released.

Kakashi's move really opened his eyes.

"The name of this move is 'Raikiri'," Kakashi said to Zabuza, "You are too dangerous. The Tadzna you want to kill is the courage of this country. The bridge built by Tadzna is the hope of this country."

"Sacrificing many people for your ambition is not what a ninja should do."

What you said is quite right. I applaud you... Never mind. I won't applaud you anymore. Sakura is still here. I hope you can tell your friend this when you see him.

Ye Feng was looking forward to Obito's reaction at that time.

"I don't care," Zabuza said disdainfully, "I will fight for my ideals, and this will not change in the future."

"I'll say it again, your future is only death. You no longer have any chance." Kakashi looked at Zabuza who was restricted in his movements, wondering where Zabuza got the confidence to say the word "from now on".

……

"Kill me, what are you hesitating about?" Bai asked calmly, as if the person who was going to die was not himself.

"Ah!" Naruto yelled in frustration, "How could such a stupid thing happen?"

"Weapons, props, etc., does this make you an important person? Do you think this is enough?"

"No?" Bai asked back, "What's wrong with this?"

"Huh?" Naruto was stunned, "Because, because, that kind of thing, that kind of thing..."

Ah, this, he just felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know how to say it. With his little brain, he simply couldn't understand why someone would regard himself as a tool for others and be proud of it.

"Ah!" Ye Feng sighed, "Because it is necessary."

"Uncle shop owner, what did you say?" Sakura was puzzled by Ye Feng's sudden words. She was concentrating on praying for Kakashi and others, and was almost frightened.

"Nothing." Ye Feng waved his hand somewhat boredly.

Bai's situation is very complicated. When he was very young, he witnessed the death of his mother, who was killed by his own father. He also killed his father unintentionally and has been wandering alone for a long time since then.

He was very young at that time and thought that it was all his fault that caused the death of his parents. Perhaps it was because he was still young that he could not quite understand the concept of death. If he was a mentally mature person, after experiencing such a thing, he would probably have committed suicide long ago.

When his mind was still immature, he met Zabuza, and then he has been living with Zabuza ever since.

Who is Zabuza?

He is a ninja, a cold-blooded ninja who killed all the people of his class when he graduated. How could he take care of a child if you asked him to do so?

Besides, he is still being hunted.

After he met Bai, almost every day of his life was spent in pursuit and counter-killing.

In such an environment, it was already very good that Bai did not become a murderous ninja. Ye Feng could understand some cognitive distortion.

Apart from the fact that he regards himself as a tool that Zabuza can command at will, Bai has almost no shortcomings, at least in Ye Feng's opinion.

"Zabuza still has expectations for me and still needs me," Bai was still explaining his twisted viewpoint to Naruto, "but I have lost my usefulness and Zabuza will no longer need me."

"That's why I'm begging you, come, quickly, kill me!"

Bai has his own opinion, and Naruto also has his own opinion: "I absolutely disagree. Being a strong person is the only reason for you to live in this world."

"Wouldn't it be nice if you could let others recognize you in other aspects besides fighting?"

Bai shook his head and said, "The day I met you in the woods, I felt that you were very similar to me, and you should understand."

Naruto was silent for a while. He knew that if someone advised him not to become Hokage, he would refute without hesitation. No one could make him change his mind. This was his dream and the reason for his existence.

Looking at the silent Naruto, Bai said apologetically: "Sorry for getting your hands dirty."

"Besides this," Naruto made a final attempt, "is there no other way?"

"Yes." Bai replied without hesitation. There was no other way. He was used to it and didn't want to make any changes.

Seeing Bai's firm attitude, Naruto turned his head away reluctantly: "If I meet you somewhere else, maybe we can become friends."

Bai smiled but didn't say anything. He closed his eyes and prepared to wait for death. It's not that he didn't have the courage to commit suicide, but dying at the hands of the enemy was the destiny of a ninja.

He had no idea of ​​becoming a ninja before, but now, he wants to become a ninja. This can be regarded as his bottom line of keeping his promise to Zabuza.

He silently said "thank you", thanking Naruto for helping him.

"Please stay firm in your dream," Bai wished Naruto well in his heart, "You will definitely become stronger."

Naruto took out a kunai from the ninja tool bag tied to his leg, aimed at Bai's vital point, and stabbed down...

The thick fog was gradually dissipating, and Zabuza, whose body was controlled and unable to move, lost the ability to maintain the Mist Hidden Technique.

"Those two people over there seem to be confronting each other." Sakura, with sharp eyes, immediately saw Kakashi and Zabuza who were "chatting".

But the fog hadn't completely dissipated yet, so Sakura couldn't see clearly which was which.

"Ah, it's moving!" Sakura screamed. She saw one person and rushed towards another person.

Bai, who was closing his eyes and waiting to die, suddenly opened his eyes, reached out and held Naruto's hand holding the kunai.

Before Naruto could even be surprised, he heard Bai say, "I'm sorry, Naruto-kun, I can't die yet."

Bai's other hand quickly formed a single-hand seal, and his figure instantly disappeared in front of Naruto.

Just now, Bai suddenly had a palpitation, as if something important was about to leave him.

For Bai, the most important thing to him is Zabuza.

……

The fog completely dissipated, and Bai could see the clear sky again when he looked up. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Time was running out, so he could only use the limited time to throw out a few flying needles and nail them onto the scroll left by Kakashi, thus dispersing the ninja dogs summoned by the scroll.

The magic mirror ice crystal did not have time to be fully exerted, and only a few ice crystals appeared, protecting himself in front and on both sides.

Yes, in this short period of time, Bai did these two things, and these two things were to protect the person most important to him.

But Bai didn't expect that Kakashi's Raikiri was so powerful that it shattered the ice crystals in front of him in an instant, and then hit him.

That's right, it hit him. He blocked Kakashi's Raikiri for Zabuza.

"Wow!" Another mouthful of blood spit out, Bai tightly grasped Kakashi's arm that released Raikiri, and tremblingly said to Zabuza behind him: "Za, Zabuza, hurry..."

Run away? Or take action?

Bai no longer had the strength to say the rest.

"You actually said that my future is only death? Humph, the prophecy has failed again, Kakashi." Although he was smiling, Zabuza's eyes were cold without the slightest smile.

The chakra flashing with lightning dissipated in his hands, and Kakashi frowned. He didn't expect Bai to suddenly appear and stand in front of Zabuza.

He knew very well the power of Raikiri. No one could survive if hit by this move. Even if he had restrained his strength the moment he realized something was wrong, the remaining power was still something that Bai could not withstand.

Blood continued to flow out from the wound on Bai's body caused by Raikiri, and soon gathered into a pool at his feet.

"Where did that guy go?" Naruto looked around and realized that the thick fog had dissipated at some point.

Turning around, he saw Bai's figure: "There!"

He ran towards where the others were. After a few steps, Naruto stopped again and looked at the scene in disbelief: "What on earth is going on?"

"This kid is dead! He actually rushed over to protect Zabuza." Kakashi was shocked. What kind of belief could make a person willingly die to protect another?

"Hehehe, well done, Bai." Zabuza snorted and suddenly picked up his knife and chopped down in front of him.

In front of him was Bai who blocked the fatal blow for him, and Kakashi who was still holding on tightly even after Bai died.

Kakashi was furious: "Do you want to kill this child too?"

"Really, I really picked up a treasure. In the end, I was given such a good opportunity." Zabuza said these inhumane words while cursing in his heart.

Damn it, damn it, damn you, the rage in Zabuza's heart almost broke through his reason.
