After the loud bang of the punch hitting the mask, even though Naruto had deliberately withdrawn most of the force at the last moment, the remaining impact was still extremely shocking.
Bai's figure flew upside down like a kite with its string broken, and rolled awkwardly on the ground several times before finally stopping on the bridge.
With Shiro's defeat and the rapid consumption of chakra, the [Demonic Mirror Ice Crystals] secret technique that trapped Naruto and Satsuki could no longer be maintained. All the ice crystals that made up the cage instantly lost their shape and turned into countless clear water droplets, which fell to the ground with a splash.
Bai struggled to hold up his upper body with trembling arms. The mask had broken off and fell off, revealing the delicate face behind it that was filled with shock and despair.
He saw that Naruto on the opposite side had long since dispersed his frightening scarlet chakra coat, and his aura was stable. Not to mention serious injuries, not even an obvious scratch could be seen.
Looking back at myself, not only was my chakra almost exhausted, my body was also in splitting pain from the impact just now, and it was very difficult to even stand still.
Sorry, Zabuza first... I... I am no match for this boy. Endless despair and self-blame instantly overwhelmed Bai.
But what surprised him was that Uzumaki Naruto did not take advantage of the situation to pursue him and give him the final blow to an enemy with no fighting ability. He just stood there quietly and looked at him.
"Why... don't you kill me?" Bai's voice trembled slightly due to fatigue and emotional fluctuations, with deep confusion.Failure to him often means the end of value.
Naruto heard this, with a confused expression on his face, "What a strange question. I didn't want to kill you in the first place... What's more, we have crossed paths before. Do you think you want to die?"
"... What Zabuza needs first is someone who can help him win, some patience." Bai lowered his head, his voice and eyes were equally hollow, "I lost to you, which has proven my incompetence... You have deprived me of the reason for my existence."
Looking at the young man in front of him, who was actually only a few years older than him, with all the luster in his eyes like extinguished candles, and only seeking closure, Naruto felt a surge of complicated emotions in his heart.
Ninja World child... how many times do I have to see this kind of mentality that is not suitable for his age...
Is the loneliness of not being needed worse than death?
"Please... I'm sorry to dirty your hands... but please give me an end."
Bai's voice held a heartbreaking plea, as if death was the only decent ending he could choose for himself.
Naruto looked at him silently, but he was making quick calculations in his mind. Kakashi-sensei The battle over there... should be over soon.
The process was probably pretty much as expected... Calculating the time, Gato and his miscellaneous fish men should have appeared.
In Naruto's perception, the auras of Shadow Clone and Kakuzu of [Menma] were clearly staying in a hidden corner not far away. So that's it... everything is already in place.
Looking at Naruto, who had no intention of coming forward to end him, and Satsuki, who was walking slowly behind him with wary eyes, the last glimmer of light in Bai Kong's eyes was extinguished. He slowly and decisively raised the sharp metal Senbon in his hand and aimed it at his throat.
"Don't move!"
Naruto shouted loudly, instantly stopping Bai's self-control movements. "Your life has not yet ended in this way!"
Bai's arms were frozen in the air, and his eyes were full of confusion. He couldn't understand why Naruto wanted to stop a defeated enemy from seeking relief.

However, in the next moment - Bai suddenly understood the unexplained meaning in Naruto's words! An indescribable emotion, a mixture of shock, realization and faint hope, came over me.
"Thank you..."
Although it was still unclear why Naruto did this, Zhi Bai subconsciously and softly expressed his gratitude. Immediately afterwards, without any hesitation, he used up the last remaining chakra and completed the last seal with both hands as quickly as possible.
A crystal clear ice mirror instantly appeared at his feet! Bai's body quickly sank into the mirror as if melting into water. The next second, he used this last Ice Mirror Body Flicker to gallop towards another decisive battlefield!
On another battlefield, the outcome is already clear.
Kakashi's psychic Ninja Dog is biting Zabuza's limbs and torso, making him completely unable to move. On Kakashi's right hand, the ball of highly compressed Lightning Release Chakra [Lightning Cutter] was making a scalp-numbing chorus, shining with a deadly blue light.
Zabuza's heart was filled with unprecedented concentration and panic. He never expected that Kakashi would be deliberately injured in the close combat in order to allow Ninja Dog to record the smell of his blood and use the tracking ninja technique!
Damn it... the arms are completely locked and cannot Hand Seals at all.
"Zabuza Momochi," Kakashi said, full of judgment, "Your ambition has led to too many sacrifices. This is definitely not the behavior Ninja should have. What you are trying to destroy is the hope of this country's struggle to survive."
"... It's none of my business!" Even though he was in a desperate situation, Zabuza still growled stiffly, with a paranoid light shining in his eyes, "I am fighting for my ideals! This will never change!"
"Then, end your ambition here." Kakashi said no more, his body suddenly lowered, and with the piercing thunder, he launched the final charge towards Zabuza who was firmly fixed at an extremely fast speed! The lightning pointed directly at Zabuza's heart!
Is this the end of it...?
Feeling the body that was still unable to move and the ever-expanding blue light of death in front of him, Zabuza felt a strong reluctance in his heart, but he could only look at this scene in despair.
"Boom——!!!"
The sound that penetrated the flesh and blood exploded! Warm blood splashed everywhere!
However, what Kakashi's [Lightning Cutter] penetrates is not Zabuza Momochi's chest!
At that critical moment, an ice mirror appeared out of thin air in front of Zabuza! Bai's figure jumped out, and without hesitation, he used his thin body to accurately block the front of Lightning Cutter!
The violent lightning penetrated Bai's chest without any reservation!
The psychic Ninja Dog disappeared because the spell was completed.
The pupils of Kakashi and Zabuza shrank violently at this moment, looking at the sudden and bloody scene in front of them in disbelief.
