Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

'簌簌——'

On the official road filled with thick fog, only the sounds of two lines of footsteps could be heard.

"Mr. Zabuza, where are we going?"

"...leave this place, go outside."

After intercepting Kisame, Hozuki Suigetsu's whereabouts were unknown, and after returning to deliver the Ninja Sword Scroll, the hope of finding him was even slimmer.

I hope that kid can take care of himself...

"Don't worry, Bai, we will come back sooner or later."

As for the white in front of me, it was a good tool that I met by chance on the road.

"Hey! You guys."

A figure suddenly rushed out from the thick fog: "Is it from Kirigakure?"

Although the man looked like a teenager, he had white hair and held a white and transparent bone spur in his hand. Zabuza sensed something and pressed the handle of the knife without leaving a trace.

As a ninja, one often has a keen sense of danger.

As a traitor who has broken with the village, he cannot be considered a member of the Village of Kirigakure.

"No."

"Is that so... I'm so sorry!"

Zabuza only moved his hand away after he saw the young man nod and move away to the side.

His gaze then drifted backwards.

The Kaguya (Bamboo Cutter) clan in the northern part of Kirigakure took advantage of the situation to launch a rebellion... It is not a good sign that they have awakened their Corpse Veins at such a young age.

"What's wrong? Bai."

Zabuza stopped and saw that he was still standing there, watching the young man gradually go away. He said in a muffled voice: "We don't have time to waste. We have to leave here as soon as possible."

"I understand, Mr. Zabuza."

That person's eyes are the same as my previous self...

Taking a deep breath, Bai Momo turned back.

"Can he find his home too?"

Hearing him mumbling, Zabuza glanced at him and said nothing more.

......

"Sure enough, he still came."

A whisper floated down among the trees.

There was mist under the forest as a white-haired young man ran hurriedly until his footsteps gradually stopped.

"Cough cough cough..."

The violent coughing sound echoed, and the boy glanced down and saw the blood stains on the petals, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"Why is this happening..."

The side effects of the Corpse Bone Vein are obviously more harmful to those who awaken earlier.

But in this case, isn't it doomed that the Hyuga clan will never grow stronger?

Those with mediocre talents are doing nothing, while those with outstanding talents are suffering from decline. What is the meaning of such a group of people being born?

"There is no meaning in life. Tangible things will wither sooner or later, and so will people."

The sound of rustling footsteps came from behind, accompanied by a hoarse voice, and Kimimaro turned around suddenly.

The person walking towards me was a pale-faced man with black hair.

"But as long as you are alive, you can find interesting things, just like you found flowers and I found you..."

A bloodless hand slapped down on the shoulder.

"follow me."

......

"Your future partner is here."

Following his gaze, a figure sitting on a broken bridge near the fishing boat dock came into view.

As the sound faded, the illusory vortex beside him disappeared in an instant.

Without thinking any more, Kisame walked forward slowly.

Uchiha Itachi...

"I am one of the seven former Mist Shadows, Hoshigaki Kisame. From now on, we are partners."

Seeing that he remained silent with his back turned and was not moved at all, Kisame sneered and said, "Uchiha Itachi, I've heard that you killed all your clansmen with your own hands... The feeling of killing your companions must be indescribable, right?"

"You think you know me very well, but how about yourself?" It was not until a long while later that he spoke: "Wandering here in the fog, you are just a piece of trash who can't even decide where to go..."

These words were clearly stated in a calm tone, but they sounded contemptuous.

A strong gust of wind suddenly hit.

The sword rested steadily on his shoulder, but he did not move forward an inch.

"Perhaps you don't understand that unborn sharks will devour their own kind in the mother's womb... You should be more careful with me."

"Same here." The black pupils looking at the sea gradually turned red, and the outlines of three magatama appeared. "People who hurt their companions usually don't die well. You have to be mentally prepared."

"It seems that we are both hopeless." Kisame laughed dryly and retracted the sword with a twist of his wrist.

"Do not."

On the water surface, several fish fins floated by.

“We are not fish, but human beings. No matter who you are, you can only recognize yourself at the last moment of your life.

“That’s what death means.”
