"My name," I gathered chakra under my feet, jumped high, and rushed out of the encirclement of the three Zabuza. In mid-air, I shot out countless chakra lines with one hand, stuck to the three swords, and threw them away together, "I am not some female subordinate of Kakashi teacher!"

Sasuke seized the opportunity, rushed forward, holding a kunai in each hand, and in a blink of an eye, he destroyed the three clones into a puddle of water.

"Hmph." I landed next to Sasuke and said dissatisfiedly: "I have my own name, my name is Chaolu!"

"Don't underestimate the kids who just graduated from the Ninja School," Kakashi smiled proudly, "They are both geniuses!"

I:"!"

I asked excitedly, "Really? Me too?"

"Of course, you are a genius on par with Sasuke."

"Genius?" Another Zabuza appeared between me, teacher Kakashi and Sasuke. He waved his long sword and forced Sasuke and me back.

However, this is not the essence either.

"You can only call yourself a genius if you can survive to the end!"

Strange, from a while ago, the parasitic insects have no reaction to the same kind I placed on Zabuza before.

Where did his real body go?

Just as I was about to rush forward to fight with Kakashi-sensei, two flying needles pierced my feet.

Bai's figure suddenly moved and stood in front of us: "Your opponent is me."

Sasuke and I had to stop here and stare at him warily.

"I don't want to kill anyone... As long as Mr. Zabuza is done with it and you tell me the location of the target person, I can let you go."

Sasuke sneered, "Wait until you win!"

"Wait..." I stopped Sasuke from rushing forward and looked at the boy strangely: "You said you don't want to kill anyone, so why are you with a man who said he likes blood?"

Sasuke frowned and asked, "Do you really believe his lies?"

"When he blocked us just now, he could have taken the opportunity to attack, but he just blocked us." At a relatively close distance, I can sense other people's negative emotions. This is because Orochimaru placed something like a "pupa" in my body. It is said that it is an artificial tailed beast created by the annihilated Land of the Sky - the Zero Tail.

Zero Tail can absorb negative emotions from humans and convert them into chakra, so negative emotions to me are a bit like the aroma of food, I can smell it naturally if I get close to it.

But activating the Zero Tail requires a lot of negative emotions, and I can't use it as a chakra power source right now, otherwise my Sharingan wouldn't be so difficult to open.

So I can feel that Bai does not have the same strong desire to attack as Zabuza. Rather, he looks gentle and almost like a neutral passerby: "Is that guy holding you hostage? Did he carve a curse on you to control you? Do you need rescue?"

Seeing that we had no intention of attacking, Bai did not attack either.

Bai whispered, "This is the first time I've met someone who...really believes in me."

"Come to think of it... This is also the first time I've met a rebel ninja. Why did you defect?"

He glanced at Sasuke, "Your companion must be wondering right now, is it really okay to chat like this with the enemy on the battlefield?"

"I have faith in Kakashi-sensei."

"Although he extremely disapproved, even so, he didn't oppose you...you two have a really good relationship."

Sasuke glared at him.

"So, are you going to tell us why you defected?"

“This is also the first time anyone has asked us this question.”

"Maybe Mr. Vicious Knife killed the person before he even opened his mouth."

"Mr. Vicious Sword?"

"He called me 'Kakashi's female subordinate', so I called him 'Mr. Vicious Sword'!"

Bai was stunned for a moment, then smiled in wonder: "You...are not the same as the ninjas I've seen before."

"You are also different from the ninjas I have seen before. People who like to kill people will exude strong malice, but you don't, so I am willing to believe you."

"Do you know the Blood Mist Village?" Bai Dao said, "In the Hidden Mist Village, there is a very cruel rule when ninjas graduate. That is... close friends like you must fight each other, and only the winner can graduate."

I frowned: "What kind of rule is this?"

"However, this rule no longer exists after Mr. Zabuza graduated. Because that year, he killed all the students except himself."

"!!"

"Although outsiders say he is cruel... this is precisely because he is gentle."

I couldn’t understand: “Gentle??”

"There were constant civil wars in the Hidden Mist Village, and no one wanted to become a ninja. All the children who went to the ninja school were forcibly captured. Even if they survived, their fate was to be sent to the battlefield and become cannon fodder... So, Mr. Zabuza killed them and changed the rules. Later, he wanted to overthrow such a village, but failed. Outsiders would only think that he was ambitious, but I know that is not the case..."

I was a little confused: "Are you trying to say that it is more valuable to not kill them and let them survive than to let half of them survive and then be sent to the battlefield to die? What if someone wants to survive?"

"This is how the world is," Bai Dao said, "Only the powerful and useful are worth surviving."

"What is considered strong? Someone with a high combat power rating? Then why do ninjas like you and Zabuza have to follow Kado's orders? Is he stronger than you?"

Bai frowned slightly. "We don't obey his orders, we just accept his commission."

"If your goal with Zabuza is to overthrow such a cruel tyranny, but you want to kill people who want to resist like you, don't you think this commission is wrong? Do you know who Mr. Dazna is?"

"We naturally know the mission target information."

"You don't know." I said, "Your employers are trying to turn the Land of Waves into a closed country like the Hidden Mist Village, just like your Mizukage, toying with and torturing everyone in the country... Mr. Dazna, don't you know that building a bridge will bring about a fatal disaster? For you, killing him is as easy as stepping on an ant. Even if he is not a ninja, that Cardo can easily die as long as he sends out the mafia or even just a group of strong men. However, even if he knew, he wanted to come back anyway, because he knew that this was the only way and hope to change the current situation in his country. The real heroes are those who dare to face the strong without hesitation in order to protect those weaker than themselves - if they only wield knives at the weak, such people are just scum!"

Bai was stunned.

"Is Zabuza trying to overthrow the regime of the Hidden Mist Village in order to protect those who are suffering and oppressed? If so, why would he agree to Cardo's rules? If he thinks killing Mr. Dazna doesn't matter, then his so-called overthrow of the Mizukage's tyranny is just a gimmick. Others are right, he just wants to become the Mizukage out of ambition and continue to oppress others!"

"You, insulted Mr. Zabuza!"

"I didn't insult him. I just think that the ideals you talk about and your current behavior are very strange. Someone told me that people often say one thing and mean another, but who can know what they think? We can only look at what they do."

Bai suddenly asked, "Do you want to be a hero?"

"I just don't understand how to distinguish between the strong and the weak. A single insect is very weak, but a swarm of insects gathered together can be very strong. The strength of a single insect, and the strength of many weak insects gathered together... How should I put it, I still prefer the latter!"

Perhaps because he saw that Bai had not taken any action yet and that I was not disguising my voice, Zabuza, who had been fighting with Kakashi sensei for several rounds, finally couldn't hold back and ran towards me.

"Ridiculous! You don't think that wearing a forehead protector makes you a ninja, do you? A childish kid like you is just playing a ninja game! What do you know!?"

Sasuke immediately tensed up and prepared to step forward to support. Just as I was about to fight back, Bai suddenly stood in front of Zabuza, just like I had just held Sasuke: "Mr. Zabuza! Please wait a moment!"

"What do you mean, Shiro?"

"If you still need to continue the mission... I will fight them for you. Please leave them to me."

Sensei Kakashi also arrived in time, and Zabuza had to retreat temporarily, but he glared at me fiercely.

"Mr. Zabuza chose to continue this mission." Bai looked at me and said, "And the meaning of my existence, the value of my existence, is to achieve his goal. At this point, it seems that we can't convince each other to resolve it peacefully."

"I also have the meaning of my existence," I also grasped the kunai when I saw that he was ready to attack, "and the value of my existence."

"Well then," Bai said, "let's use the outcome of this battle to decide whose philosophy is correct. In this ninja world, only powerful and useful people have value in existence!"

"I don't understand what you mean by the ninja world, but if the ninja rules are this kind of rubbish, then I will overthrow these rules as well!"
