Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History.

"And it's strange that I didn't sense any malice at all."

Immediately, Naruto whirled around, his eyes blazing as he stared straight at the direction from which the thousand kimonos had come.

"Hey, who's hiding there?"

As Naruto shouted, a figure slowly descended from the treetops.

Iyo Iyo Hashima Lusuo!

Chapter 107 Sneaking into the Village, Don't Shoot

Okay, not that white mask.

She was a person with a light and graceful figure, long hair flowing down her shoulders, and a white mask covering her face.

Perhaps, beneath that mysterious mask lies the face of a gentle woman?

Naruto was clearly also interested in this guess, and his tone softened slightly:

"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?"

Faced with Naruto's barrage of questions, the visitor remained calm and composed, answering them without flinching.

Her voice was as gentle as a spring breeze: "I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you. My name is Bai."

"Please forgive the misunderstanding. My target is not you, but him."

As he spoke, Shiro pointed to Zabuza lying on the ground.

Then, Bai revealed his identity.

Members of an assassination squad from Kirigakure, specializing in hunting down rogue ninjas, and this time their target is Zabuza.

“Zabuza holds a vital secret about Kirigakure, and I must bring him back.”

"To be honest, I am extremely grateful to you for defeating him, which allowed me to complete my mission smoothly."

"Huh, there's such a unit? Kakashi-sensei, are you aware of this?"

Naruto didn't believe it easily, but cautiously sought confirmation from Kakashi.

After a careful examination, Kakashi confirmed, "Yes, judging from their attire, they are indeed pursuit ninjas from Kirigakure."

Relieved to receive Kakashi's approval, Naruto nodded.

"Oh, then there's no problem. You can take him with you."

"But remember, once you bring him back, you must discipline him strictly and not let him go out and do bad things again."

Naruto gave him a serious plea.

"Don't worry, I will," Bai replied softly.

"Then... can I take him with me?" Bai seemed a little hesitant.

"Yes, of course, please do as you wish."

As Naruto spoke, he pulled Sasuke aside to make way for him.

Seeing this, Haku no longer hesitated and stepped forward to carry Zabuza.

Zabuza lay sprawled on Haku's shoulder, his eyes gleaming with an unbelievable light through a gap no one could see.

Is that safe?

Is it really that simple?!

It seems that Bai's role is truly undeniable at times; he thought he was doomed today.

He never wanted to see those two brats again in his life.

"Until we meet again, everyone." Haku gave Naruto a deep look before uttering his farewell words.

Then, with one hand forming a hand seal, a sudden blizzard erupted, and the two figures vanished into the snow without a trace.

........................

Inside a temporarily vacant house, Zabuza and Haku appeared.

The homeowner was out and had not returned, completely unaware that his home had become a temporary refuge for two uninvited guests.

"Zabuza-san, you are badly injured."

Haku carefully placed Zabuza on the bed, taking every step with utmost care to avoid disturbing his wounds.

"Those kids, they really went all out."

Zabuza gritted his teeth, but he knew in his heart that the other party had already shown mercy.

Otherwise, with the power that Naruto used to break the greatsword, he would probably be dead by now.

After all, one's own bones aren't as hard as a big knife.

“Mr. Zabuza, your hands are broken and your ribs are severely fractured.”

"I'll go out and find some herbs for you. You have to hang in there."

Haku gripped Zabuza's hand tightly, his face filled with worry.

"……white."

Feeling Bai's sincere concern, Zabuza's heart trembled slightly.

This child...

He had always regarded Bai as a tool to achieve his goals, never expecting that the other party would have such a special attachment to him.

However, Zabuza did not show much emotion, and simply nodded slightly.

"Okay, go and come back quickly."

For ninjas, emotions are often a burden, especially for people like them.

Bai cautiously looked around to make sure everything was alright, then gently closed the door and quietly left.

..........................................

"Is this the Land of Waves?"

Naruto and his group finally set foot on the land of the Land of Waves.

Naruto stared wide-eyed, looking around in utter shock. The people passing by on the street were dressed in tattered clothes, their faces pale and thin, their expressions filled with exhaustion and helplessness.

Directly ahead, a middle-aged man slowly approached, a sign hanging around his neck that read: "For enough money, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

They walked through the streets, which resembled a giant refugee camp more than a country.

"Sigh, this is all the trouble left behind by Kado."

Dazner sighed repeatedly.

Kado took control of the country, and the people lost their jobs, their lives became increasingly impoverished, and in the end, some could not even guarantee the most basic food and clothing.

"That guy is awful! Where is he? I'm going to deal with him right now!"

Naruto clenched his fists, burning with rage.

At this moment, Kakashi reminded him, "Naruto, as foreign ninjas, we can't openly interfere in the affairs of other countries."

"That's all we're tasked with."

Naruto seemed to understand the unspoken message—that they couldn't be straightforward?

Hehe, why not just do something sneaky behind the scenes?

"Hehe, Kakashi-sensei, you're so clever."

Naruto secretly gave a thumbs up.

A few days ago, he might not have understood Kakashi's hint.

However, after Sasuke's special training over the past few days, not only has his taijutsu improved, but his mind also seems to be working faster.

"Everyone, you must be tired from your journey. Please come to my house and rest for a while."

Dazner extended a warm invitation.

The group naturally agreed and went to Tazuna's house together.

For the next few days, they stayed at Tazna's home, while Tazna was busy with the preliminary work for the cross-sea bridge, such as collecting materials, recruiting manpower, and arranging construction equipment.

Kakashi and Sakura were responsible for secretly protecting Tazuna to prevent Gato's subordinates from launching a sneak attack.

As for Naruto and Sasuke...

Naruto has gone from the light to the shadows, searching everywhere for Gato's whereabouts, determined to teach this despicable guy a lesson.

Sasuke, on the other hand, left the Land of Waves, intending to take advantage of a break in this mission to go to the Land of Rain, find the Akatsuki organization, and bring Itachi back.

........................

Zabuza suddenly opened his eyes like a startled wild beast from where he was hiding.

He was resting when he sensed someone approaching.

"Hehehe, Zabuza, so you were hiding here. I've been looking for you for ages."

With a bang, the door was kicked open, and Kado's short figure slowly stepped in.

Zabuza's face darkened. "What do you want from me?"

Kado smiled as he looked Zabuza over, and when he saw that Zabuza was covered in bandages, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do I need you for? I paid a lot of money to hire you to get rid of that old man and weaken the enemy's ninja forces at the same time."

"As a result, you've accomplished nothing and are just hiding here, barely surviving."

"What's the point of you living? You might as well die and then give me my money back."

Zabuza's face froze upon hearing this.

"You want to kill me?"

Zabuza forced himself to stand up, suppressing the pain in his chest, his years of killing aura spreading wildly!

The terrifying killing intent terrified Kado so much that he wet himself and collapsed to the ground, scrambling backward on his hands and feet.
