In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 93 Saving Bai

By the time Chiya arrived, the battle had already reached its climax.

Erzhuzi gets beaten up as usual. First, he showed off, then he was brutally tortured by Bai's Ice Release Secret Technique: Demonic Mirror Ice Crystal. He was pierced into a hedgehog by Senbon needles.

They only got a chance to catch their breath when Naruto arrived.

Zabuza gradually fell into Kakashi's trap. After the Executioner's Blade was stained with Kakashi's blood, he used the Hidden Mist Technique, causing the entire bridge to be shrouded in mist.

Kakashi then took the opportunity to retrieve his summoning scroll and began summoning his eight ninja dogs.

Watching Kakashi summon his dog, Chiya thought of Batman from a certain American comic book in her past life. You can fight him, but never challenge him to a duel. Otherwise, once he gets the information, he will scheme against you to the bitter end.

Zabuza clearly suffered from this kind of loss.

While Kakashi was unleashing his dogs, Sasuke was in trouble. In order to protect Naruto, he was hit by Haku's senbon again.

"You...you big idiot." Erzhuzi forced a smile.

Naruto's body trembled slightly, his eyes wide, "Why, why did you save me?"

"How should I know?" Sasuke's eyes began to dim, memories of Naruto flashing through his mind. "I hate you the most, but my body just moved on its own. Idiot."

After saying that, Erzhuzi could no longer hold on and collapsed, only to be caught by Naruto.

Lying in Naruto's arms, feeling his consciousness fading, Sasuke thought he was going to die. He thought of Itachi Uchiha again and uttered a voice filled with resentment, "I haven't defeated my brother yet. How can I die here? Don't die."

The last sentence was addressed to Naruto, and after saying it, he fainted.

"Sasuke!" Naruto roared, his anger unleashing the dark red chakra of the Nine-Tails as he charged toward Haku.

Chiya watched all of this and clicked his tongue inwardly, "No wonder Kakashi said during the Fourth Shinobi World War that Team 7's first enemies were Zabuza and Haku, which was their good fortune."

When I first watched this part, I was young and didn't understand it very well. I only knew how Naruto fought. Now, it seems that it's not unreasonable that Sasuke was willing to risk his life for Naruto, and that Naruto would relentlessly pursue Sasuke afterward.

This friendship has undergone a qualitative change. If it were a man and a woman, Hinata and Sakura would probably not have had anything to do with each other in the original story.

Thankfully, it was Haku who intervened, otherwise Sasuke and Naruto would probably be a pair of star-crossed lovers today.

"Looks like it's almost over." Qianye slowly stood up.

The battle has now come to an end.

At this moment, Zabuza was already firmly bitten by Kakashi's eight-headed ninja dog. Kakashi released the Lightning Blade, preparing to end Zabuza's life.

Haku was defeated by Naruto, who unleashed the Nine-Tails' chakra. Feeling worthless, she resolved to die and prepared to block Zabuza's Lightning Blade.

Just as Haku used Water Instantaneous Body to block Zabuza, Chiya moved.

He intercepted Haku faster than Haku himself, then used a shadow clone to transform into Haku's appearance and block Kakashi's Lightning Blade.

"Why did you save me?" Bai recognized Qianye.

"To die now would be too pathetic for you. Don't feel like you've lost the meaning of life. Zabuza isn't just using you as a tool. Just wait and see what happens next."

Chiya looked at the shadow clone that had blocked Zabuza's Lightning Blade, which still hadn't disappeared, and thought to himself, "It seems Kakashi has really wasted his time all these years."

It lacked the sharpness expected from Shippuden.

He merely used the Mirror Flower Water Moon technique to hypnotize Kakashi's senses, making him believe for certain that he had killed Haku, and then enveloped the shadow clone in a protective aura.

To everyone's surprise, Kakashi's Lightning Blade not only failed to break through the shadow clone's protective aura, which was far weaker than the main body's, but the impact it generated was so great that it couldn't even make the shadow clone disappear.

Kakashi gently placed the shadow clone down, and then began a one-sided beating of Zabuza.

In no time, he used kunai to cripple Zabuza's two arms.

At this moment, Kado, unaware that the looting had already taken place, arrived with a large group of thugs.

He uttered extremely insulting remarks while stomping on 'Bai's' corpse.

Under Naruto's persuasive talk, Zabuza finally opened up and burst into tears.

He charged toward Kado, biting down on his kunai.

"Lord Chiya, is this what you call 'talk-no-jutsu'?" Before anyone knew it, Yekura had arrived, appearing beside Chiya and Shiro.

"More or less," Chiya replied, turning to look at Haku, whose eyes were also brimming with tears, and said, "Now, do you still consider yourself merely Zabuza's tool?"

"I will never fight Lord Zabuza again," Haku said, his voice trembling as he watched Zabuza fight alone in the crowd, tears streaming down his face.

This scene was so moving that it brought tears to everyone's eyes. Even Yekura was touched and volunteered to Chiya, "Lord Chiya, please allow me to take action."

"No need." Qianye shook his head and snapped his fingers. His shadow clone, which had turned into a white corpse, suddenly moved. He picked up a katana from the ground and rushed into the crowd. His speed was as fast as a ghost. In just an instant, apart from Gato and Zabuza, there were no survivors in the crowd.

"How could this be? Wasn't that child already dead?"

The sudden resurrection of "White" and the unleashing of such formidable power clearly startled everyone present, with Kakashi exclaiming in shock.

Naruto and Zabuza shed tears of joy, genuinely happy that Haku was still alive.

As for Sakura, being the burden on him, she had no idea what had happened, nor was she sure if Sasuke was dead; she just kept clinging to him and crying.

"It's simple, because he's not dead?" Qianye's voice suddenly rang out from the mist. He and Yecang, dressed in red cloud black robes and wearing wind chime hats, slowly walked out of the mist with Bai.

At the same time, countless cherry blossom petals suddenly drifted down from the sky, and the illusion technique, Falling Cherry Blossom Technique, was activated.

Apart from Kakashi, Zabuza, and Gato, who was intentionally left behind by Chiya.

Everyone fainted instantly.

"This is an illusion, you are..."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Kakashi's pupils dilated suddenly. He looked at Chiya and her two companions, then at 'White' who had instantly killed all of Gato's men.

A terrible thought suddenly arose in my mind.

The next instant, with a 'bang', the shadow clone, which had become 'white', returned to Qianye's current appearance and then dissipated into smoke.

"Haku, you're still alive!" Zabuza was also shocked. Seeing that Haku was still alive, he, who was already covered in wounds, collapsed and could no longer hold on. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

"Lord Zabuza!" Haku rushed forward, trying to catch Zabuza.
