Naruto's Career

Chapter 87: Epilogue - The Story of Ice Snow and Evil Ghosts

The group of people walked on the road back to the village, walking at a leisurely pace, neither too close nor too far apart.

After all the twists and turns in the Land of Waves, although everyone has grown somewhat, their mental state has become a bit lazy after two weeks of rest.

"Na~Onii-chan~"

The little fox who was walking in front suddenly turned around and smiled at Pegasus. His long, golden and smooth ponytail swung into two beautiful arcs in the air, and his big blue eyes narrowed slightly in embarrassment.

"You know Sister Bai...Brother...ah ah ah~ Is Bai a boy or a girl? Why did you carve a monument for them as a couple?!"

After dispersing the dazzling blue and white thunder and lightning chakra on his hand, Tianma stopped the practice of activating cells and gave the little fox a meaningful look. Erzhu and others next to him also secretly raised their ears and listened.

Among everyone, only Pegasus and Little Fox had met Bai alone before.

"Well~ this question is not important..."

Pegasus started lazily, walking leisurely, raising his hands behind his neck, and squinting his eyes slightly, as if he was remembering something.

Pegasus himself didn't know about this problem. Speaking of which, Bai and Pegasus only met for a few seconds and exchanged three or four sentences.

"Yo~ The traitorous ninja is chasing Miss!" At that time, Pegasus had just finished his training and had refined his chakra and was about to continue activating his cells. A beautiful girl wearing a sash coat and wooden clogs was carrying a small child on her back.

The small herbal box moved forward as softly as a weak willow in the wind.

It was obvious that the girl was startled by the sudden greeting, and a sharp senbon appeared in her hand unconsciously, and she stared at the man standing under the tree with alertness.

"Ha~ An Xin. I don't want to fight you right now..." Tianma didn't draw his sword, but just folded his hands in front of his chest and relaxed his defensive posture to show that he was not hostile. "After I really saw you, I was determined.

idea."

"What? Also! I'm a man!"

Bai's attitude towards Pegasus was obviously not as good as towards the little fox. Although he had a straight face, the thousand books in his hand disappeared at some point.

Bai's face, which was trying to show anger, still had a gentle and demure expression, which made Bai a little frustrated. The lack of hostility towards this powerful man really made him a little uneasy.

"Yeah~ I understand, the traitorous ninja chases Miss..." With a playful expression, Pegasus looked at Bai's slightly uneasy expression, "I decided to save you... and of course that

Only evil spirits who are not honest."

"So, I am..." Bai was suddenly stunned, "Huh?"

"Well~ see you later..."

The memory ended here, Pegasus raised his head lightly, looked at the sky in the distance, and murmured.

"The feelings between people cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences."

"Hey~ Onii-chan is so cunning!"

The little fox blinked its big eyes, its long eyelashes flashed like small brushes, and its dilated pupils were filled with the flames of gossip.

"Even if you say this, I still care a little bit!"

Shiro glanced at Sako, Sakura, who was getting closer and closer, and Kakashi who secretly pricked up his ears. Tenma carefully thought about the beautiful entanglement between Zabuza and Shiro in the original work, and spoke lightly about the man shaped by ice and snow.

A story about a proud and cruel ghost.

"Do you know? A long time ago, Shiro had other very important people besides Zabuza..."

The slightly deep voice seemed to have a different kind of charm. Pegasus was not very good at telling stories, so he used the secret technique wisely.

"Those people are Bai's parents."

"Shiro was born in a small snow-covered village in the Land of Mist. Of course, he also has parents with whom he has a good relationship, and he lives a happy life like ordinary children."

For some reason, Tianma's light voice always gave off a sour feeling in the ears of Mingxue and others, because they already knew that the ending of the story must be sad, and the happier the beginning, the sadder the process.

"But... something happened when Bai Dongshi was young, and that was the turning point of everything."

"The Kingdom of Mist, which has experienced a long civil war, is very repulsive to those who have the limit of blood inheritance..."

Although Tianma's words were a bit harsh and confusing, and he kept diverting away from the topic, no one interrupted his low and magnetic voice. They just listened and felt quietly.

"That is a bloodline with special abilities like Shiro... Because of its special abilities, this bloodline is often used in various disputes... and the Kingdom of Water therefore regards this bloodline as a symbol of disaster and war.

"

"After the war... people with this bloodline must hide their identity in order to live. If others know this secret, the only consequence will be death."

"So... because of the extreme hatred and fear of one thing, the tragic ending is already doomed."

"Bai is, after all, an extremely talented person. Even before he knew the meaning of this power, he had already awakened."

"Bai's father found out about this...so, his father killed Bai's mother with his own hands, and he also wanted to kill Bai, his daughter."

"It was a cold winter night with snowflakes, and Bai witnessed the tragedy with her own eyes. As a child, of course she would feel frightened and frightened. By the time Bai came to her senses, her father was already dead and was killed by Bai.

Unconscious resistance, force went berserk and killed."

"Although his father wanted to kill him, the pain in Bai's heart after killing his biological father with his own hands can be imagined..."

"Shiro, you're really pitiful!" Tenma glanced at the audience who were listening intently, especially Sako, who had a calm face and a strong sense of empathy. He stayed for a while, and then continued to talk.

"Therefore, little Bai left his hometown in pain, and there was another wandering orphan on the cold street."

"The warm hometown suddenly turned into a distant foreign land. Without the warmth and comfort of family, there was only endless loneliness and the hardship and pain of survival."

"Being disgusted, alienated, beaten, despised, and ignored by others... I'm afraid that in his little world at that time, all the colors were just monotonous darkness..."

“On a cold night in winter, I sit alone by the garbage dump wearing single clothes, just to dig out a little bit of leftovers from the garbage to temporarily satisfy my hunger.”

"However, even in such cruel and harsh living conditions, Xiao Bai is still so kind. He gave up his food source to a puppy and would rather freeze and starve himself."

"Bai is a pure white child, which can only be shaped by pure white and pure ice and snow. He is a human being, but he is much purer than humans."

"Such a good boy should not be disgusted and despised by others, and then die quietly and without any noise."

"So, on a cold, snowy winter night, a man showed up."

"Wearing tattered and thin clothes with one shoulder exposed, Bai endured the pain of seeing his father kill his mother and then kill himself, and was killed by his own hands in the end. After being alienated, trampled, despised, and oppressed by everyone,

, but you can still smile clearly, big brother, your eyes are just like mine! Such pure and innocent words make the man’s heart beat.”

"The glimmer of light in the man's eyes, I always thought it was the greedy light that flashed in him because he discovered Bai's ability to inherit the blood boundary.

But it is impossible to tell with a simple glance whether Shiro has blood inheritance boundaries."

"That ray of light is because he found an angel, who can shine like sunshine into the pure smile of his frozen heart."

"He needs this child! That's what Zabuza is."

"Perhaps it's the mutual need between Zabuza and Shiro, and a ray of fate that brings them together."

"But Zabuza only sees Haku as a tool, especially after learning that Haku has the bloodline of the Blood Succession Limit."

"The bloodline that everyone hates... but Zabuza is happy to make Shiro feel like he needs her..."

"Haku is really happy that she has become Zabuza's tool, and she is happy to be this tool."

"From today on, even if it's just a tool, please let me stay by Zabuza-sama's side! Every time Shiro says this with a smile, there is a satisfied smile on his childish face. Please let me stay by your side.

, a very simple wish, but it makes people cry endlessly."

"Zabuza is an ambitious man. He has a heart that will never accept the status quo. He was born in the weak country of water, the Mist Ninja Village."

"He is proud and ambitious, and will achieve it through his own efforts step by step. He is realistic and utilitarian, cold and unfeeling. He has his own persistence. He is a pure man!"

"But! In the era of ninjas, as a member of the ANBU Assassination Club, you lived a life of bloodthirsty knife-headedness. You faced the fate of killing or being killed every day. You had no choice, you had to be cruel."

"He was dissatisfied with the inhumane iron-blooded rules of Kirigakure ninja selection. He killed all the candidates in the class during the exam, and single-handedly changed the selection method for many years! He is hardworking and practical, cold-blooded and cruel, and through killing and risking his life

He has gained the status and strength he deserves! He wants to use this to change the future of this country!"

"He launched a coup, he assassinated Mizukage, there was no conspiracy, he wanted to do it, so he did it!"

"What he is stupid or proud of is just relying on the big knife in his hand and his firm belief!"

"No matter what the result is, he is a man in the true sense of the word!"

"Of course the assassination failed, but before he defected and left, he still didn't forget to arrange Bai's escape. If Bai didn't want to go with him, he probably wouldn't force it..."

"The night when Zabuza decided to leave the Country of Mist, Haku was by his side, quietly listening to his master's explanation of his determination."

"Bai, I'm sorry that I have to give up this country, but one day this country will be mine. Now I don't need comfort and encouragement, what I need is..."

"Well, Mr. Zabuza, I know that I am your tool, so please keep me with you like a tool. This child who has always called himself a tool is a polite child that makes people's noses sour."

"Zabuza looked down at Shiro with a happy look in his eyes, good boy..."

"From this day on, Haku became Zabuza's weapon to carry out any difficult orders. Under Haku's strong desire, missions that everyone thought were impossible were successfully accomplished. Haku required himself to be in charge of Zabuza.

You must not be defeated until your dream comes true.”

"The evil ghost on the run, the young man in the ice and snow, their persistence along the way, the many sieges, and the many escapes made the evil ghost and the young man deepen their trust in each other."

"He has such an arrogant and unyielding heart. How can he not endure humiliation and live under the influence of others? Living under a despicable roof, Zabuza never bowed his head. He still maintained his dignity so proudly. With his kind

Personality, Cardo actually didn’t die until the end, maybe it was also because of Bai’s kindness?”

"When he was fighting with us, he lost the first battle, but he didn't get discouraged. Instead, he analyzed the reasons for the failure and set up such a trap. He didn't give up easily, although he completely chose to kill his employer directly to get what he wanted.

But he is proud after all."

"After all, there is a bond between them."

"Haku sacrificed himself to die without regrets, and Zabuza, I think he didn't use all his strength when he slashed the knife! Otherwise, how could the teacher let the teacher's body become stiff and his hands were tightly locked after using Raikiri?

The teacher turned over and ran away while holding Bai's body."

"Because if the knife cuts down, Bai's body will be broken into pieces."

"I'm afraid he subconsciously regards Bai as a very important person, although he didn't understand it until the last moment."

"So I shed tears belonging to evil spirits..."

"But what he understood was not Bai, but what he really thought in his heart. He always knew Bai's heart clearly."

"At the last moment, what he really understood was his own heart, otherwise he would not have made the promise at the last moment."

"To be honest, although the two of them are enemies, I can't feel any hostility now."

"When Bai died, she was still smiling. I think she might feel that she was happy that Zabuza blocked that fatal move when she was dying."

Tenma said a lot. In his previous life, he started with Haku and Zabuza, and then he really fell in love with Naruto.

After a few pauses, Tianma finally ended the story.

"Haku and Zabuza, these are two people who cannot be separated."

"Because I have suffered the most serious injury, I am no longer afraid of pain."

"Except for the person you love most, you can easily obliterate anyone else, but the extra kindness in your heart is like a shackle that restrains your cruel self."

"Although I am unfortunate, I don't want everyone to be as unfortunate as me. I don't have any dreams. I just want to meet someone who is as cold-shouldered as me."

"From now on, his dream will be my dream. I would rather be a killing tool in his hands. As long as I am still needed by him."

"Bai has always been a kind-hearted child, simple and straightforward. Her dreams are very limited, but it's just good to have someone by her side."

"Fortunately, Zabuza appeared. A man with the same eyes as Shiro. It was a kind of loneliness that was feared and disdained."

"Both his and her souls are incomplete. One is as kind as ice and snow and warm as sunshine, and the other is cold, proud and ferocious. When they are put together, they are just right."

"If their encounter has a purpose, then their purpose is to prove that people cannot live without companions, and people cannot become strong because of loneliness, blood, and hatred!"

"Do you remember Zabuza's last words? I hope to go to the same place as you."

"I think they will go to the same place. Even if Bai really ascends to heaven, he will definitely fall into hell."

"Because Zabuza is not in heaven..."

"It takes a long time to die, so we must be together!"

"Huh~ It's finally over! So, does it matter whether Bai is a boy or a girl?" Pegasus took a long breath and turned his head to look at the little fox, Erzhu, whose tears were faintly visible.

I hope you can listen to it! Erzhu!

"Wow..." The little fox looked at his brother with tears in his eyes, "How do you know so much..."

"...Are you just making this up to fool us..."

"you guess?"

"I hate Oni-chan the most!"

Without him, you might have died early

Without him, your future might just be dark

meet by chance

Your life will team up with him from now on

Rebellion, pursuit

avoid crime

It doesn’t matter what is wrong or what is right

All you have to do is follow him closely

Never back down, never regret

Comes from whiteness and returns in whiteness

Those hands that have killed countless people

left a gentle comfort on your face

"...If possible...I also want to...go to...the same...place with you."

That piece of melting snow

It’s your last tear

End of Chapter 87. The Country of Waves has finally come to an end. This chapter is based on some online articles about the bond between Zan Haku and written with my own understanding. I guess it’s a bit confusing...

Well~ the chuunin exam... Orochi and the red panda...
