Chapter 272 Momochi Zabuza

Although it was just a hot steamed bun, it was the ultimate delicacy for Bai, 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 the steamed bun and left it.

Of course Uchiha Qiushan saw Bai’s little movements clearly, but he just smiled and ignored her.

Time passed by minute by minute. Bai had finished eating the steamed bun long ago and was now staring at the fire in a daze. Although she was far away from the fire, she could still feel the warm flames, which made her feel a lot better despite her thin clothes.

At this moment, Uchiha Qiushan, who was sitting next to the fire, suddenly stood up. After putting a few branches into the fire, he picked up the package he was carrying, and seemed to be ready to leave.

Bai, who was hiding in the corner, also saw the kind-hearted uncle’s actions, but she just opened her mouth but didn’t say anything. She could only watch the kind-hearted man she met leave.

Uchiha Qiushan adjusted the package hanging on his shoulder, glanced at Bai, and walked outside.

As the kind-hearted uncle left, Bai didn’t say anything, but his handsome eyes dimmed. He tightened his tattered clothes 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, Uchiha Qiushan came into her sight.

As soon as he entered the house, Uchiha Qiushan stopped and looked at Bai who raised his head and looked at him casually and said:

“Hey, kid, do you want to come with me? Be my subordinate?”

Bai, who was hugging his knees, heard what Uchiha Qiushan said, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a surprised smile appeared on his face. He immediately stood up from the corner, rushed to Uchiha Qiushan, looked at him and said: “Sir, is this true?”

The sound was clear and pleasant, with a vibrato that contained joy.

In response to Bai’s excited reaction, Uchiha Qiushan just nodded, then put the package on his body into her hands, leaving a sentence “Carry it on your back.”

Then he turned and walked out of the village.

Bai was stunned after receiving the package. Seeing that Uchiha Qiushan was about to walk away, she hurriedly imitated him and put the package on her back. She hurriedly chased after Uchiha Qiushan’s back. Her eyes were full of longing and hope for future life.

Uchiha Qiushan, who easily kidnapped Bai, was not in a hurry to go back. After all, the specialty of the Water Country, in addition to the Ice Escape, is the Corpse Bone Vein of the fighting maniac Hyuga clan. So Uchiha Qiushan wanted to try whether he could meet Kimimaro who possessed the Corpse Bone Vein, and Orochimaru who specialized in kidnapping children.

However, maybe it was the wrong time. Uchiha Qiushan took Bai to wander around the area for two days, but he didn’t meet Orochimaru and Kimimaro, let alone a ninja from the Hidden Mist Village.

Bai, who had followed Uchiha Qiushan for two days, didn’t know what the adult was looking for, but she still followed him obediently without saying a word. After all, it was her luck to meet an adult who was so kind to her.

At this time, Bai was already wearing fitted and warm clothes, and a pair of comfortable shoes. His dirty face was washed clean, and his messy hair was tied up.

Overall, Bai’s current life is not very refined, but she is well taken care of.

Bai, who had already experienced the fickleness of human nature, cherished this luck even more. Although he had to carry a package and run behind Lord Qiu Shan all day long, he was still very happy.

Just when Uchiha Qiushan was about to give up and take Bai back to Whirlpool Island, he met an unexpected person.

Uchiha Qiushan was leading Bai and walking towards a remote place. He had given up on this kind of lucky search and was ready to find a secluded place and take Bai directly back to Whirlpool Island.

At this moment, Uchiha Qiushan frowned slightly, stopped and looked at the road in front of him. Bai, who was following Qiushan, stopped with some confusion and looked at Lord Qiushan with some doubts.

Just then, the sound of footsteps came from the misty path ahead. Although the sound was not loud, it could be heard clearly in this quiet morning.

At first, Bai only saw a black shadow, but as he got closer, the figure of the person gradually became clearer.

The man had a forehead protector from the Hidden Mist Village on his head. His hair was black, and his mouth and jaw were wrapped in bandages. On this cold morning, his upper body was naked, and behind him was a huge ninja sword tied with a black belt. It was the head-cutting sword from the famous Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist Village.

The person who suddenly appeared was Zabuza Momochi, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist Village, who was proficient in the silent killing technique.

Uchiha Qiushan glanced at Zabuza and was a little surprised.

The chance of meeting Zabuza here is not high, but it is possible. There is nothing to say about it. However, what surprised Uchiha Qiushan was Zabuza’s current state.

Don’t think that he is in good condition just because he walks steadily and without swaying. Uchiha Qiushan, who has good eyesight, noticed something wrong with him after just one glance at him.

His face was pale, and although most of it was covered by the bandage, it could still be seen from the small portion that was exposed.

Moreover, there was a faint smell of blood coming from his body. This bloody smell was not the kind of bloody smell mixed with murderous intent that was left over from killing too many people. Just by the sweet smell mixed in with the bloody smell, one could tell that it was his own.

You know, Zabuza Momochi is a senior ninja who is proficient in silent killing techniques. Given his professional ethics, he would never let the smell of his blood spread unless he was seriously injured.

Another thing that gave him away was the sound of his footsteps. Not to mention Uchiha Qiushan, even an ordinary child like Bai could hear them.

Given the professional qualities of a jonin from the Hidden Mist Village, how could it be possible for him to expose his footsteps while walking?

Therefore, based on the smell of blood on Zabuza’s body and the heavy footsteps, Uchiha Qiushan could easily judge that Zabuza’s current condition must be very bad and had fallen to the lowest point.

At this time, Zabuza also saw the two strangers in front of him.

When he saw the two strangers, Zabuza’s body shook slightly, and then he kept walking forward, but he slightly avoided and moved from the middle of the path to one side.
