Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

"Shut up, brat!"

"You're the one! Don't give me that idiot nonsense!"

Naruto gritted his teeth and retaliated with an even more powerful headbutt.

"Don't play dumb with me!"

Naruto's headbutt was so powerful that Zabuza spurted out a lot of blood from his nose.

"Don't you have any feelings at all?!"

Naruto's forehead was also red and swollen, and his eyes were wide open.

"What do you know, kid!"

"How could I?"

He would show expressions when looking at weapons, and he could no longer say the second half of Zabuza's name.

"The dialogue lacks emotion!"

Kakashi sat to one side, and Tsuki looked up at him.

"hateful!"

"hateful!"

He continued to curse incessantly, his hands hanging limply as he knelt there.

"One has already died? What a useless rogue ninja, a Jonin no less. What a useless person."

On the bridge, Kado appeared at the bridgeside with a group of people.

"What did you say!"

Naruto was about to rush over, but Kakashi glanced over instead.

"Kakashi, could you give me a kunai?"

Everyone looked at Zabuza, who slowly propped himself up.

Kakashi immediately drew a kunai and threw it over, which Zabuza caught in his mouth.

"and many more."

"Let him go."

Naruto watched as Zabuza, who had already charged toward Gato with a kunai in his mouth, wanted to chase after him, but Tsukiki stopped him at that moment.

"Let him go."

Naruto turned his head away, finally putting his mind at ease.

"Kijin Zabuza."

Even though his hands were immobilized, Zabuza could break through the enemy's formation simply by biting on a kunai; after all, they were just a group of ordinary people.

The snow continued to fall, as if providing accompaniment for Zabuza's final dance.

Blood splattered everywhere. Zabuza, covered in blood, bit his way toward Gato. By then, all of Gato's men had fallen, leaving only Gato alive.

With a flick of his head, the kunai pierced through Kado's body, causing him to fall into the water below the bridge.

Gasping for breath, Zabuza staggered over to Haku and lay down beside him.

"She is not a weapon, but a person whose name truly reflects her character."

Tsukiki went over and helped Zabuza up, whispering something to him.

Zabuza merely glanced at it and continued walking forward.

Zabuza lay quietly beside Haku.

Is he a person whose name reflects his character?

Zabuza gently reached out and grasped Haku's hand.

Why did I name him Bai?

It must be as he said.

I'm tired.

Zabuza closed his eyes.

"It's so good to have met you, Bai."

A sound that no one else could hear, yet for some reason, the Moon Tree heard it.

"I've come to keep you company."

white------

The snow is falling softly and quietly...

Chapter 318: The Return Journey

Is it over?

Daz looked at everything in front of him, somewhat incredulous.

The snowflakes were still falling gently, Zabuza and Haku's hands were clasped together, and a snowflake landed on them.

Kado has fallen, fallen beneath this bridge of the future—

The snow fell softly, softly—

Yue Shu exhaled a breath of warm air, and in the hazy light, everything had come to an end.

"How beautiful, the snow."

The fog will eventually dissipate, and the sun will shine again.

It was very warm and the sunlight was very comfortable, but for some reason, it also felt a bit chilly.

"Kakashi."

Yue Shu lowered her head and said something.

Let's erect a proper tombstone for them.

Kakashi also exhaled a warm breath, stretched, and stood up.

"Yes, some opponents deserve our respect."

Kakashi looked at Tsuki and seemed to smile slightly.

“This is what one of my teachers told me.”

"I will always remember this."

As Kakashi spoke, a slight ripple slowly appeared in the calmness in his eyes.

"Thank you."

Yue Shu said something.

------

Birds chirped again after a long absence. In this land of waves, bathed in sunlight and warmth returned, the pervasive mist had dissipated.

"here it is."

The sheet was carelessly spread out by hand, and a few drops of water splashed out.

"where?"

Sasuke blinked as he saw the wooden ceiling reflected in his eyes, and a sharp pain shot through his body.

Are you awake?

The door was flung open with tremendous force.

"It looks like he's awake. It's so good that Sasuke is alright."

The older sister, feeling the chill, listened to the sounds coming from inside the room and smiled.

"Too close, you idiot!"

"pain."

Naruto entered the room and immediately hugged Sasuke. Sasuke looked disgusted and tried to block him, but Sasuke felt a sharp pain in his hand.

"Idiot, your snot is all over me."

Sasuke shouted angrily, shaking the entire house.

Kakashi was lying on the grass, basking in the sun, with the Moon Tree beside him.

"Young people are so great."

He sighed and then glanced at the moon tree again.

Are you going to deliver flowers again today?

"No need, just give me one more when I leave, as a farewell."

"Is that so? That's pretty good."

Kakashi said lazily.

"Speaking of which, Brother Yue Shu, when are you planning to go back?"

Kakashi glanced over.

"This is a rare opportunity, so let's rest a little longer and wait until we all go back together."

"It's safe and secure, so there's no need to hire guards."

A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling the hair on Tsukiki and Kakashi's foreheads.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to me that I had actually experienced this scenario a long time ago.

Yes.

Yue Shu's expression froze.

Kakashi's face was covered by white hair. Tsuki turned his head to look at him, and after a while, he turned back to meet Kakashi's gaze.
