Naruto: Let the glory of the giants spread throughout the ninja world!

"Please, if I let you leave now, do you expect me, a giant who can only say 'abba aba,' to make that tsundere Zabuza express his feelings?"

Ryukura Akira waved his hand, pointing at Shiro, who was speaking.

Bai looked into the distance, his gaze seemingly piercing through time, returning to that small village buried deep in snow.

"I was born in a small village in the Land of Water, where the snow was very deep. I once had a happy family."

Her voice was soft, as if she were narrating a story unrelated to herself: "Although we lived a poor life by farming, my parents were content with their situation and were both gentle people."

Sasuke's brow twitched slightly.

"Until one day, when I created an ice hockey puck out of thin air, my father went mad."

Bai's voice suddenly turned low and somber, "Father not only killed Mother, but he also wanted to kill me."

Sasuke was completely dumbfounded. What on earth was this guy talking about?

When Sasuke thought of the murder of his brother, he couldn't help but think of his older brother, Itachi Uchiha.

Naruto asked Sasuke the question that was on his mind, and Haku gave him the answer.

The Land of Water, having endured a long civil war, is extremely wary of people with bloodline limits. From top to bottom, they regard those with bloodline limits as terrifying beings who bring war and disaster to the country.

Therefore, those with bloodline limits have to live in anonymity in the Land of Water, but if they are discovered, they will be persecuted and killed.

Seeing the almost overflowing heartache in Naruto's eyes, Haku felt a slight pang of sadness, but his voice softened even more.

"My mother possessed a bloodline limit, but she kept it a secret, wanting to live a peaceful life with my father forever. However, one day, my bloodline limit was exposed."

Her white eyelashes trembled.

"My father discovered this secret. He led his usually kind uncles and aunts to kill my mother. But when they came toward me, they were killed by my instinctive act of freezing."

The cold wind seemed to become even more biting at that moment.

Sasuke pursed his lips, his grip on the kunai tightening and loosening repeatedly.

Bai seemed to want to continue, talking about her online activity on the snowy night, and about her frozen heart.

At this moment, Bai was embraced by a warm hug, and Liu Cangming gently pressed down on her shoulder with one of his fingers.

"Stop talking about Sister Bai. Being treated like a monster must be really hard, it must be so cold. Don't bring up those painful memories."

A faint sob came from Haku's arms. Naruto was crying for her, the enemy who had almost killed him just moments before.

Was the giant's action meant to comfort him?

Haku gently patted Naruto's back and stroked Ryukura Akira's fingers. "Thank you, but what happened next is my most cherished memory."

After losing his parents, Haku wandered alone for a period of time until he was about to freeze to death from hunger and cold, when Zabuza came to his rescue.

At that time, Zabuza and Haku were both at a low point in their lives, and the two people with the same eyes became acquainted.

As a reformer, Zabuza did not discriminate against those with bloodline limits. On the contrary, because of this powerful ability, Zabuza accepted Haku, who had nothing, as a tool.

Later, he met his younger brother, Ryukura Akira, and from then on, he had a new family.

After hearing Haku's story, Kakashi didn't react much. Sasuke and Naruto were slightly lost in thought because they thought of their own experiences. Sakura cried bitterly because of Haku's tragic story.

Akira Ryukura couldn't help but sigh, "Although the anime explained it very clearly, seeing the person say it in real life gives me a different feeling."

Out of respect for Haku, Ryukura Akira never asked about his past.

"Hmph, don't think you can excuse what you did with your past experiences. You really wanted to kill us just now, didn't you?" Sasuke said, his arms crossed, his eyes fixed on Haku who was supporting Zabuza.

"If I could, I'd actually prefer a peaceful life and to be friends with you all." Haku adjusted his posture to better take care of Zabuza.

"But tools don't need feelings; they just need to obey their masters. However..." Bai's eyes were lowered, and his long, thick eyelashes made it impossible to discern his expression.

"I can't even compare to two Konoha genin. I'm such a useless tool."

Sasuke at this moment was completely bewildered.

At that moment, Ryukura Akira poked Zabuza with his finger, "What are you trying to do now, you bastard?"

Akira Ryukura picked up Zabuza directly. "Mr. Zabuza!" Just as Haku hurriedly got up, Akira Ryukura placed Zabuza opposite Haku.

Everyone was filled with questions: what exactly did this mysterious giant want to do?

At this moment, Naruto, who was the most unpredictable, unexpectedly walked up to Zabuza and said, "Hey, old man, don't you have anything to say after hearing what Haku said?"

The protagonist's persuasive skills are on full display! Akira Ryukura bows in respect for this conceptual weapon.

"What feelings could I possibly have? I've said it before, ninjas shouldn't have emotions. That guy was just a tool. In the end, I only needed his abilities, not him as a person."

"Are you serious?" Haku grabbed Naruto's hand but was abruptly shaken off. "Haku-nii really likes you! He's even willing to give up his dreams and die for you!"

Naruto took a step forward and gripped his shirt tightly over his heart. "That guy told me that protecting your dream was his dream too. Dying as a tool is just too painful."

As he spoke, Naruto's eyes reddened. "Does becoming stronger necessarily mean becoming cold-blooded? Does being as strong as you mean you have to abandon your own emotions? Are you really so indifferent?!"

"Shut up!" Zabuza suddenly roared, his eyes bloodshot. "What do you know? You know nothing!"

"Ninjas are born tools. To retain emotions is to retain weaknesses. What's the point of acknowledging feelings? What's the point of caring? In the end, won't you still lose them? Won't you still suffer?! It's better not to have them at all in the first place!"

"You're the one who's the one! Bai already considers you family, he sees you as his weakness and is prepared to sacrifice you, and what about you? You coward! You can't even face your own heart, you're just too weak!"

Zabuza remained silent, turning to look at Haku, while the beautiful woman gazed at him with concern. "Mr. Zabuza."

Plop, plop, Zabuza lowered his head, and tears welled up in the demon's eyes, falling one by one to the ground.

"Bai, I'm sorry." These words were spoken softly, but they struck Bai's heart like a stormy sea.

"It's okay, it's okay, because... because Zabuza-san is the most important person to me!"

Hearing Bai's tearful voice, Ryukura Akira clapped for their embrace, bang bang bang.

Yay! Our first major victory since transmigrating!
