After transforming, I became the wife of all Naruto fans.

However, Zabuza and Haku's danger is not over... That's true.

But in reality, it's hard to say who is in greater danger right now.

Because the current situation is indeed quite complicated.

In Haku's and Zabuza's view, Zabuza, as the main fighting force, was no longer able to fight after taking a full hit of an A-rank Water Release attack and being hit by several kunai, and had become a burden.

It's clearly impossible for Haku to face Kakashi and Chiba, who are equally matched with him, on his own. Right now, they are the ones in danger.

However, in Chiyu and Kakashi's view, with Kakashi now a paper tiger and Chiyu being the only one they can rely on, they are also in danger.

Because under such circumstances, the outcome of the battle between the two sides has become a battle between Shiro and Dechiyu.

Whoever wins, their side wins.

So, can Chiyu defeat Haku?

The answer is that you're unlikely to win if you don't reveal your hand, that is, you don't open the door.

Because the original work is the original work, and reality is reality.

In the original story, even if Chiyu couldn't win against Bai, she was confident she wouldn't lose. But now, Bai has shown skills that surpass those in the original story, and the outcome is truly unpredictable.

In this situation, both sides fell silent for a moment.

Fortunately, Kakashi's side wasn't without its advantages.

Neither Haku nor Zabuza knows that he can no longer fight, so they can bluff their way out of it.

However, this approach works only if you don't push people too far; the right balance is crucial.

At the same time, he needs some cooperation! And that's where Qianyu comes in.

Kakashi then gave Chiyu a look, and without waiting for her to understand, he began to advise her:

"Surrender! It's not too late to surrender now!"

"With Zabuza's strength, even if Konoha returns him to Kirigakure later, he won't be executed."

"As for you, young lady, you can live in Konoha without any problem. I think the Hokage would be happy to accept you."

After all, Bai is a descendant of the Snow Clan.

The value of a brand new bloodline race that can dye itself at will is enough to make a coward like the Third Hokage stubbornly resist the Hidden Mist.

But Bai simply shook his head: "Give up, I will never give up on Zaibuzan!"

What do you mean sending him back won't kill him? You're kidding. Bai is from Wuyin, and he has a deep memory of the bloodshed and madness of that place.

Those people don't care about all that; they just want Zabuza's Executioner's Blade!

"And also, I'm a man!" Bai emphasized.

"So cute, and he's a boy?!" Kakashi was genuinely surprised.

But wouldn't it be better if it were a boy?

Of course, this "better" is not better in the traditional sense, but in terms of value.

After all, there are differences between men and women. If Bai were a woman, she would have to carry a child for ten months, and even if she were a sow, she wouldn't be able to produce many offspring.

But it's different for boys. As long as they're willing to be studs, a completely new Snow Clan is guaranteed in 12 years. You should always believe in the quality of Konoha girls.

Now Kakashi is genuinely considering having Haku join Konoha.

However, Haku's unwillingness to give up Zabuza is a real problem.

Kakashi himself fully understands and supports this sentiment.

However, since they were enemies, Kakashi also had his own subordinates to protect.

Kakashi then pressed him, saying, "But what can you do if you don't surrender?"

"The combat power you just unleashed was indeed impressive, but such a continuous barrage of ninjutsu is no easy feat, is it?"

How much chakra do you have left?

A crucial question has been presented to everyone.

Kakashi pleaded earnestly, "Surrender! Surrender! At least there's still a future!"

"Brother, believe me, I only said these things because I felt sorry for you and my lovely subordinates, because you look so alike."

"I can promise you in the name of Kakashi Hatake that you will not be troubled if you surrender to Konoha. As for Kirigakure, you can negotiate with them yourselves."

This is the most lenient condition Kakashi has ever given.

The so-called negotiation meant that when Zabuza was handed over to the Mist Ninja, Konoha would not imprison Zabuza's chakra, and he could escape again on his own.

As for surrendering now and releasing him after the mission is complete, that's the most unrealistic thing to do. What about reputation? Would you dare release him without understanding the situation?

Even Zabuza himself was aware of this.

So at this point, Zabuza also began to waver.

He gave a bitter smile, looking at Bai's somewhat frail back as he advised:

"Bai, don't worry about me, just leave! You're not me, you have no blood on your hands, the people of Konoha won't make things difficult for you."

"Don't join Konoha, and don't go back to Kirigakure. My life is already like this, but you are still young and have a future. You can go wherever you want in the future."

"I picked you up back then, and you've been my tool for so many years, so we're even now."

"As for me, I can always fight my way out of the Hidden Mist again!"

However, Bai shook his head vigorously: "What are you saying? If I don't kill Sang, how can I possibly abandon you?"

"What gratitude are you talking about? I can never repay the debt of gratitude I owe Zai Buzan Sang!"

"I will not let you return to Kirigakure!"

The tragedy of his own Yuki clan, and Zabuza's teachings, made Haku truly see Kirigakure as hell.

So even if there was a chance of escape, Haku didn't want Zabuza to return to the hands of the Kirigakure ninja.

Furthermore, Bai felt that he wasn't entirely without a chance, and he had to thank Qianyu for that, because after he suppressed the unconsciously dissipating ice chakra within his body, he became stronger.

Zabuza, however, was unaware that Haku had become stronger again. He was simply moved, relieved, and surprised: "Is that so? Is that what you think, Haku!"

"Alright, Bai, let's do it your way!"

Originally just a tool, Haku has now made such a decision, so Zabuza chooses to support him.

Having decided to resist to the end, Bai immediately took out a few soldier's ration pills, chewed and swallowed them, demonstrating his determination.

Meanwhile, as the group was talking, Sasuke and Naruto crossed the river and arrived, soaking wet, standing behind Kakashi and Chiba.

"Looks like we'll have to keep fighting!"

Kakashi also reached for the soldier's ration pills with a headache; he really didn't want to eat them.

I was already weak, and then I kept pushing my body too hard, making me even weaker.

Fortunately, at that moment, Qianyu suddenly raised her hand.

"Wait a minute, I have another suggestion!"

"What?" Qianyu's words drew everyone's attention.

Chiyu looked at Haku and said seriously, "If you don't want Zabuza to go back to Kirigakure, then don't go back. You stay, and we'll let Zabuza leave, wherever he wants to go, how about that?"

"Eh!!?"

Hearing Qianyu's words, everyone was astonished.

Sasuke quickly objected, "That's not right, Senba. Letting Zabuza leave would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains!"

“Yes!” Naruto agreed, “How can we let Zabuza go!”

"Yeah, yeah!" Even the comments section started to agree.

"How can we let someone as strong as Zabuza go?"

"He's out of his mind! Qianyu has absolutely lost his mind!"

"Oh no, could it be that Chiyu has fallen for the enemy's male character?"

"No, let's talk about that kind of thing at least fifty years after I'm dead!"

"Hehe, you've gone down again, haven't you? The character has his own life to warn you once again."

"Indeed, let's take a look at the little boy and girl in black stockings in the distance, family members."

"Damn it, why is this kind of plot happening again? I'll fucking kill you!"

Before Qianyu could even react, and before he could even think of it, the PDST self-green radar in the comments started. What was originally just a topic about whether there would be problems with letting the tiger return to the mountain was instantly veered off-topic to the fact that they had been betrayed again.

Given this public opinion, Qianyu, who had traveled back 21 years, was truly baffled.

What's going on? Wasn't the butcher dead? Is this some kind of game?

The question of what terrible things happened to the people after she traveled through time resurfaced in my mind.

But Chiyu was destined to never understand or even imagine these things.

With her naive understanding, how could she possibly comprehend the magical events experienced by Blue Star players, such as Lady Lion, the Scattered Grass CP, and Lady Raymond?

All I can say is that the comments section is genuinely scared.

But given the current situation, Qianyu has no choice but to continue as she sees fit.

Ignoring Naruto and Sasuke's opinions, Chiba looked at Kakashi: "Kakashi-sensei, what do you think?"

"I think..." Kakashi stroked his chin.

Then, to Naruto and Sasuke's surprise, Kakashi nodded in agreement: "I think it's a good idea!"

"Hey, why?!"

Naruto questioned loudly.

“Yes!” Sasuke frowned, waiting nervously for Kakashi’s explanation.

But even louder than Naruto's was Zabuza's.

"Huh? You want to trade me for Bai Lai?!"

"What a joke! It's just a tool!"

"I won't accept this! Kakashi, if you have the guts, just kill me. Don't humiliate and torture me like this!"

Zabuza was furious.

Given his pride, he truly couldn't accept this; Zabuza was essentially someone who cherished his comrades very much.

Then, Zabuza, enraged, looked at Haku, wanting him to refuse outright.

However, Zabuza understood after just one glance at Haku.

Bai was tempted by Qianyu's suggestion.

"No!" Zabuza's face contorted with rage. "Haku, I said no! I don't agree!"

"Remember this: you are merely my tool. A tool must obey its master's commands and cannot make decisions on its own!"

"!!!" Zabuza's unprecedentedly violent reaction stunned Naruto and the others.

At the same time, it also attracted the attention of the viewers who were engaged in a fierce battle.

"Is the reaction really that strong?"

"Damn, BYD keeps calling him a tool. Has he forgotten that Bai was risking his life for him not long ago?"

"Yeah, maybe we should just let him die."

Naruto, equally bewildered, asked, "Hey, what are you talking about? That's your comrade! How can a comrade be a tool?"

But Zabuza ignores Naruto.

"Shut up, kid, this is none of your business!"

"Bai!" He wanted to persuade Bai.

But at this moment, Bai simply condensed a water needle and flicked it lightly.

"Pfft!"

The water needle pierced Zabuza's neck, sealing his vocal cords without harming him.

"Uh, uh uh uh!"

Zabuza instantly became mute, unable to even say "Aba aba," and could only stare at Haku with his bloodshot eyes, unwilling to accept his fate.

Seeing Zabuza like this, Haku also looked ashamed and bowed his head: "Good heavens, Zabuza-san, but I have no choice but to do this."

"Because I want you to live!"

"The very act of living is an incredibly precious thing, and I feel this especially deeply today."

After saying that, Bai straightened up and looked at Qianyu seriously: "I agree to your request. I only have one question now."

"Given Zabuza-san's current condition, how can he possibly travel alone?"

"That's easy!"

Qianyu snapped her fingers: "Why don't you just use your clone to take care of him? The clone can keep an eye on him before its chakra runs out."

"Moreover, by using a clone to distribute your chakra, it makes it easier for us to control you, killing two birds with one stone!"

"Then let's do it this way!" Bai nodded, formed hand seals, and indeed exhausted all his chakra to create an ice clone.

Then, the ice clone carried Zabuza on its back and slowly walked into the distance.

Haku, having exhausted his chakra, went limp and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

For some reason, the bang echoed a little.

"Kakashi-sensei!"

Naruto's panicked shouts rang out.

The white figure on the ground turned its head in confusion, only to find that Kakashi had fallen to the ground at almost the same time as it.

However, unlike him, he was still conscious, but his body was exhausted.

Kakashi immediately fell asleep!

Upon seeing this, Bai instantly understood everything: "So that's how it is!"

Filled with resentment and bitterness at being outmaneuvered, he looked helplessly at Qianyu and complained, "You're too cunning!"

"There was no other way! In that situation, if I didn't want to risk my life, the only option was to try lying."

"And the facts prove that our choice was correct; you were really fooled. Accept the consequences of your gamble!"

Chiyu walked over with a smile and then checked Kakashi's condition.

"Alright, it's nothing serious. Kakashi just overdid his chakra," Chiyu said to Naruto.

"It's really impressive that he's managed to hold on until now."

"Huh, Chiba, you knew all along?" Naruto was shocked to hear Chiba's words.

"Not bad!" Chiyu nodded. "You saw Kakashi defeat Zabuza smoothly, but in reality, it took him a lot of energy!"

"So letting Zabuza go was also..." Sasuke realized.

"Yes, letting Zabuza go was probably the only option, because if we didn't, he would fight us to the death!"

Qianyu pointed to Bai beside her: "Don't let Bai's handsome appearance fool you, the three of us might not be able to handle him if we put our heads together."

"In short, being able to outsmart him like this is a good ending!"

"And you don't need to be afraid that Zabuza will come back. Since Kakashi made the decision to let Zabuza go, it means that he is not afraid that Zabuza will come back."

"How was it? Kakashi and I worked together pretty well, didn't we?"

After explaining the plan, Qianyu put her hands on her hips, her face beaming with pride, looking incredibly proud of herself.

“Indeed!” Naruto and Sasuke were filled with admiration.

It can only be said that Qianyu truly deserves to be their recognized captain and strategist. Together with Kakashi, that liar, they can turn black into white.

Thinking of this, Naruto and Sasuke even felt a little sympathy for Haku lying on the ground.

What a pitiful child. What good is all that strength?

He was tricked by Chiyu and Kakashi and ended up losing everything.

Meanwhile, after hearing Qianyu's explanation, the live stream room was filled with comments that the misunderstanding had been cleared up.

Qianyu was delighted to find that she had gained quite a lot of impression points from the second half of the segment.

The live stream then shut down, and this part of the story gradually came to an end.

Team 7, along with Haku and Kakashi, found Tazuna hiding and went to his house.
