Although it was just a warm Mantou, it was extremely delicious for Shiro who had not eaten for several days. Moreover, in order to have something to eat when he was hungry later, he reluctantly broke off half of this Mantou and kept it.
Shin Uchiha of course saw Bai's little moves clearly, but he just smiled and ignored her.
Time passed by minute by second, and the white Mantou had already finished eating, and was staring at the fire in a daze. Although she was far away from the fire, she could still feel the warm Kakkō, which made her in thin clothes feel a lot better.
At this moment, Shin Uchiha, who was sitting next to the fire, suddenly stood up. After putting a few branches into the fire, he picked up his package and seemed to be preparing to leave.
Bai, who was huddled in the corner, also saw Kind Uncle's actions, but she just opened her mouth, but didn't say anything. She could only watch the kind person she met leave.
Shin Uchiha adjusted the position of the package hanging on his shoulder, glanced at Bai, and walked outside.
As Kind Uncle left, although Bai didn't say anything, his beautiful eyes dimmed. He tightened his shabby singlet tightly and stared blankly at the still burning fire.
At this moment, Bai suddenly heard a familiar sound of footsteps getting closer and closer. She quickly raised her head and looked outside. In the next second, Shin Uchiha came into her eyes.
Just after entering the house, Shin Uchiha stopped, looked at Bai who raised his head and looked at him and said casually:
"Hey kid, do you want to come with me? Be my subordinate?"
Bai, who was hugging his knees, heard Shin Uchiha's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a surprised smile appeared on his face. He immediately stood up from the corner, rushed to Shin Uchiha, looked at him and said, "Sir, is this true?"
The sound is crisp and sweet, with a vibrato that contains joy.
In response to Bai's excited reaction, Shin Uchiha just nodded, and then put the package on her body into her hand, leaving the words "Carry it."
Then he turned around and walked out of the village.
Bai was stunned after receiving the package. Seeing that Shin Uchiha was about to walk away, she quickly imitated what he had just done, carrying the package on her back, and hurriedly chased after Shin Uchiha's back. Her eyes were full of longing and hope for the future life.
Shin Uchiha, who easily got the free money, was not in a hurry to go back. After all, in addition to Ice Release, the specialties of Land of Water are also the Shikotsumyaku of the fighting madman Kaguya Clan., so Shin Uchiha wants to try to see if he can meet Kimimaro who owns Shikotsumyaku, and Orochimaru who specializes in abducting children.
However, maybe it was the wrong time. Shin Uchiha led Bai around the area for two days. Not to mention Orochimaru and Kimimaro, he didn't even come across Kirigakure or Shinobi.
And Bai, who had been following Shin Uchiha for two days, although she didn't know what the adult was looking for, she still followed him honestly without saying any nonsense. After all, it was her luck to meet an adult who was so kind to her.
At this time, Bai was already wearing fitting and warm clothes and a pair of comfortable shoes on his feet. His dirty little face had been washed clean, and his messy hair had been tied up.
Looking at Bai now, overall, although his life is not very refined, he is still well cared for.
Bai, who has experienced the ups and downs of human relationships early on, cherishes this luck even more. Although he is now carrying a package and running behind Mr. Shin all day long, he is still very happy.
And just when Shin Uchiha was about to give up and take Bai back to Whirlpool Island, he met a surprising person.
Shin Uchiha led Bai towards a remote place. He had given up on this lucky search and was going to find a secluded place and take Bai back to Whirlpool Island.
At this time, Shin Uchiha frowned slightly, stopped and looked at the road in front of him. Bai, who was following Shin, stopped with some confusion, and looked at Master Shin with some doubts.
At this moment, a person's footsteps came from the misty path ahead. Although the sound was not loud, it could be heard clearly in this quiet morning.
At first, all Bai saw was a black shadow, but as he slowly got closer, the figure of the person coming gradually became clear.
The visitor wore a Kirigakure Forehead Protector tilted on his head. His black hair, mouth and chin were all wrapped by Bandage. In the cold morning, his upper body was naked. Naked, with a huge Ninja Blade tied with a black strap behind her back, which is Decapitating Carving Knife among the famous Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Kirigakure.
And the person who suddenly appeared was Zabuza Momochi in Kirigakure Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, who was proficient in Silent Killing Technique.
Shin Uchiha glanced at Zabuza, but he was a little surprised.
The chance of meeting Zabuza here is low, but it is possible. There is nothing to say. But what surprises Shin Uchiha is Zabuza's current state.
Don't look at him walking smoothly and not swaying, just think that he is in good condition. Shin Uchiha, who has good eyesight, noticed something abnormal about him after taking a glance at him.
His face was pale, and although most of it was blocked by Bandage, he could still see it from the small part that was exposed.
Moreover, there was a faint smell of blood coming from his body. This smell of blood was not the kind of blood mixed with murderous intent left by too many killings. Based on the fresh and sweet smell mixed with this smell of blood, you knew it was his own.
You know, Zabuza Momochi is Jōnin who is proficient in Silent Killing Technique. With his professionalism, unless he was seriously injured, how could he let the smell of his blood spread?
Another thing that exposed him was his footsteps. Not to mention Shin Uchiha, even an ordinary kid like Bai could hear it.
With Kirigakure Jōnin's professionalism, how could he reveal his footsteps while walking?
Therefore, Shin Uchiha can easily judge by the smell of blood on Zabuza's body and the heavy footsteps that Zabuza's current state must be very bad and has reached its lowest point.
At this time, Zabuza also saw the two strangers in front of him.
When he saw these two strangers, Zabuza's body trembled slightly, and then he kept walking forward, but he gave way slightly, changing from the middle of the path to one side.
