I rely on myself

Chapter 674 Strange Visitor

"Besides that, I have another piece of bad news to tell you. Zabuza may not be dead." Kakashi suddenly looked embarrassed, but finally said it seriously.

"Eh? Kakashi-sensei, don't kill him..."

Hearing this sudden news, everyone else was stunned for a moment. It was Sakura, the most attentive one, who reacted first and asked, but before she could finish, Kakashi interrupted her and gave the answer.

"Indeed, I personally examined Zabuza's body, and he was indeed dead at the time. I can guarantee this."

"That……"

"But the breath has stopped doesn't mean that he is really dead. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find many problems. For example, Sakura, do you still remember the weapon that the Kirigakure Anbu used to kill Zabuza?"

Sakura was stunned for a moment when Kakashi suddenly asked her this, but she soon began to recall: "I remember... it's Senbon! It's Senbon, right, Kakashi-sensei."

"Yes, it is the Senbon." Kakashi nodded to acknowledge that Sakura's answer was correct and continued, "Compared to other ninja weapons, the wounds that the Senbon can cause are too small. Unless it injures some vital parts, it will not cause any fatal damage. Therefore, there are very few users of the Senbon, and most of them are medical ninjas."

"But... this doesn't seem to be a problem, Kakashi-sensei?"

Even after hearing this, Naruto felt that something was wrong, but in the end he still couldn't figure out why. In contrast, Sasuke and Sakura both looked thoughtful.

Kakashi nodded secretly upon seeing this. He had anticipated the performance of the three people. Naruto was rather reckless and careless, so he didn't notice it, while Sasuke and Sakura were much more careful.

Although he was thinking about all these things, Kakashi did not stop talking: "Indeed, if it is just like this, at most the ninja tools used by the Kirigakure Anbu are a little rare, but in addition, the other party took away Zabuza's body."

At this point, Sasuke and Sakura both looked enlightened and understood the problem, but Naruto still looked dazed and didn't react at all.

"…So, what's the problem, Kakashi-sensei?"

Naruto asked again, and this time it was Sakura who answered first: "Idiot! The bodies of ninjas, especially jonin, are not as valuable as living ones, but after careful investigation, a lot of useful information can still be obtained. That's why each ninja village constantly hunts down the ninjas of its own village to prevent this information from falling into the hands of the enemy.

But even so, the Anbu would not take the entire body of the rebel ninja away. They would usually cut off the head and directly dispose of the rest of the body. This way they could preserve the information of the village they belonged to and it would also facilitate operations.

The Kirigakure ANBU who took away Zabuza's body took the whole body away, and the weapon they used was a Senbon which caused very small wounds. So based on this, it can be inferred that Zabuza was not dead at the time, but was just faking his death because of those Senbon. If he is treated afterwards, Zabuza will wake up again, so the teacher said that Zabuza is not dead."

The three little ones looked embarrassed when they realized that Zabuza was not dead. After all, the only one who could defeat him, teacher Kakashi, was now lying on the bed in a weak look, and even standing up was a problem for him.

The three of them also had self-knowledge and knew that their strength was not enough to fight against Zabuza. Just when they were in trouble, Kakashi suddenly smiled and spoke.

"Okay, you three don't have to worry so much. I am indeed very weak because of the previous battle, but you don't think that Zabuza is in such a good condition, not to mention whether there will be any sequelae of faking death. The injuries I caused him in the previous battle alone are enough to make him suffer. If he relies on self-healing without treatment, I am afraid he will not recover for a month. Even if he gets good treatment, it will take about a week to fully recover. I have recovered during this period, so there is no need to worry too much."

"That's it, that's great."

After hearing what Kakashi said, Sakura breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart, and so did Naruto and Sasuke. However, in addition to feeling relieved, they also felt a little unwilling in their hearts, unwilling to accept their own weakness.

Kakashi also noticed this, and thought that the three had been following him for some time, and in preparation for the upcoming battle, he planned to give the three of them special training.

Just when Kakashi was about to say this out loud, the doorbell rang suddenly from downstairs, and this sound made everyone present suddenly nervous.

"Is the enemy coming?"

Sasuke asked the question first and looked at Dazna, who thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know. Usually, no one else would come to see me because they would inform me in advance."

"It shouldn't be an enemy, after all, the other party rang the doorbell directly." Kakashi suddenly spoke up, denying the possibility that the visitor was an enemy: "But even so, it's better to be careful. Naruto, Sasuke, you two and Mr. Dazner go down and take a look. Be careful. Sakura, you and I stay here as a backup. Is that okay?"

After hearing the arrangements, Naruto and Sasuke nodded to indicate that there was no problem. Although Dazna was a little scared, he also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he mustered up the courage to get up and go downstairs to see who was coming. Naruto and Sasuke hurriedly followed.

Sakura did not dare to be careless at all. She was highly focused and always paid attention to any sounds coming from downstairs.

Dazna first looked back at Naruto and Sasuke, and after confirming that they were both there, he spoke out to the door this time, "Who is it?"

"Oh, is this Mr. Dazna?"

Unexpectedly, the unknown visitor at the door was surprisingly polite. After hearing Dazna's voice, he immediately stopped knocking on the door and replied.

"Excuse me. I think our intrusive visit frightened you. I'm really sorry. Let me introduce myself. We are the Fatui. We came here to discuss something about Cardo with you. Could you please open the door so that we can talk face to face?"

"Fools?"

Hearing this unfamiliar word, Naruto and Sasuke were unsurprisingly stunned for a moment. They looked at each other and both confirmed that they had never heard of this name.

The two people now don’t know that they will have to deal with this name many times in the days to come.
