"Well done…"
Yang Tao took out some seeds and fed them to Blue Bird. It wasn't that he was reluctant to feed Blue Bird something good; it was just that, according to Blue Bird, seeds were to him like Royal Rations were to humans in terms of appeal.
He could taste his favorite flavor in this life from the seeds, and it wasn't even addictive, which was simply magical.
The flood caused by the Water Release had now disappeared, with only scattered puddles on the ground and the collapsed mansion testifying to what had just happened.
He took out a Character Creation Book from his backpack, opened it, and silently thought "Doctor" as he looked at the professions listed.
Instantly, the skills brought by the Swordsman profession turned gray, and even when he took out the Yamato, there was no reaction.
'Anyway, I can change it back…'
At most, it would waste one Character Creation Book. For others, it was a problem, but for him, he could make as many as he wanted.
Yang Tao walked over to Zabuza.
Zabuza, who was already severely injured, had completely fainted after Blue Bird's mental cleansing.
He lifted his foot and kicked hard at his eight-pack abs.
+120
"Hey, wake up!"
Zabuza still showed no sign of waking up. Yang Tao reached out and grabbed the scarf around Zabuza's neck, lifting him from the ground.
Slap, slap, slap…
+120
+120
+120
…
Yang Tao had no choice; the data was written that way. He could only heal the target by attacking them with his bare hands.
Minecraft was powerful, but in some special circumstances, it was very rigid.
"Wake up…"
The healing effect of continuous slaps was astonishing. Before the health bar above Zabuza's head had fully recovered, he woke up, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Yang Tao's palm coming down.
He instinctively tried to dodge, but with his scarf held, he couldn't resist at all.
Slap…
+120
A number he couldn't see appeared above his head.
'It doesn't hurt, and… it feels comfortable? What's going on? My… my injuries have healed?'
Seeing Zabuza wake up, Yang Tao released his hand with a look of disgust, then raised his fist and punched Zabuza in the stomach.
+120…
"You can slowly heal the remaining injuries yourself… Never mind, come here."
Yang Tao raised his hand and punched Zabuza in the stomach twice more, completely filling his health bar. It was fortunate that Naruto World had high attack and low defense; if it were tens of thousands of health points, he would truly have to transform into an Ora Ora…
Momochi Zabuza, as the Demon of the Hidden Mist, it was no exaggeration to say he crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. What kind of situations hadn't he seen over the years?
But today, he felt like a rookie who had just started out.
'Is this a Ninjutsu? A Secret Technique? Or a Kekkei Genkai? Why can't I feel any Chakra?'
Zabuza looked at Yang Tao with serious eyes, carefully sensing for Chakra fluctuations, but found nothing.
Seeing Zabuza's expression, Yang Tao said impatiently, "Don't just stand there dumbfounded. I didn't heal you so you could stare at me."
"Go find the people who were swept away by your Ninjutsu just now, and also rescue Gato…"
Zabuza nodded slightly upon hearing Yang Tao's command, not feeling anything out of place. Blue Bird's brainwashing ability was incredibly overbearing.
It didn't erase or alter Zabuza's memories at all, but it could plant a seed in his heart, a seed that made him automatically ignore all problems and obey Yang Tao's commands.
It was somewhat similar to the Uchiha Clan's Izanami.
Izanami could record a segment of interaction between the user and the target and then replay that same segment. The opponent caught in the genjutsu would be trapped in an infinitely looping memory world. To break free from Izanami, the opponent had to accept their original fate and sincerely repent.
In essence, it was brainwashing, different from mental interferences like Kotoamatsukami that could be dispelled, but rather an ability to change perception.
For example: if you are a male, after being caught in Izanami, you must wholeheartedly accept that you are a female in your heart to free yourself from this genjutsu.
Zabuza saw Haku lying on the ground, severely injured, and a flash of pain crossed his eyes. Before he could ask Yang Tao for help with healing, Yang Tao had already walked over to Haku.
Yang Tao simply lifted his foot and kicked Haku's body.
Compared to Zabuza, Haku's injuries were much lighter; his main injury was just being cut by Yang Tao. After only three or four kicks, Haku woke up.
Looking at Haku standing up, Yang Tao said with emotion, "These days, being a doctor is like being a murderer…"
"Zabuza, take Haku with you. I'll wait for you here."
"Yes…"
Momochi Zabuza's reply was also extremely simple. He took Haku, who was still somewhat confused, and left the mansion to search for the people who had been swept away.
It was fortunate that the impact of the Great Waterfall Technique was blocked by the obsidian wall; otherwise, with the Great Waterfall Technique's impact, those guys who were only slightly stronger than ordinary people wouldn't even need to be found. Zabuza could just find a place to dig a pit and bury them.
...
Half an hour later.
A clean and level area had been cleared in the mansion courtyard. Yang Tao was currently sitting in an office chair, diligently grilling skewers left over from the Level 10 'Wheat Field' last time.
Cumin and lamb fat dripped onto the hot charcoal, emitting plumes of smoke, and the aroma of barbecue wafted everywhere.
The more than forty people Zabuza brought back were clearing the mansion ruins, searching for remaining valuables, and they dug out the lucky Gato from the mansion ruins.
It was unclear whether it was because Gato had a luck bonus or because most of Gato's mansion was made of wood, but this guy was surprisingly fine.
Gato's current appearance was very disheveled. Although his life wasn't in danger, he was covered in dirt, and his original sunglasses were gone, revealing a pair of small eyes as he tearfully pleaded with Yang Tao, "Sir, spare me… I… I can pay!"
Yang Tao picked up a grilled skewer, took a bite, and nodded with satisfaction. He turned to Gato and said with a tone of disappointment, "Foolish. If I kill you, your money is mine too."
"So you plan to use my money to buy your life? How can there be such a good thing in this world?"
Gato: "???"
How could there be such a shameless person in this world? Even though he had extensive business experience, he was somewhat slow to react.
Looking at Gato, Yang Tao showed a brilliant smile and said, "Alright, you don't need to harbor any illusions. I'm keeping you to make my time in Wave Country more enjoyable. Later, I'll hand you over to those Villagers, and whether they kill you or not is their business."
With that, Yang Tao waved his hand and had the desperadoes carry the limp Gato away.
Gato understood his actions; if he truly fell into the hands of those Villagers, he would inevitably die, as too many commoners had died by his hand.
"Sir, I… I have money elsewhere. Oh, right, I also have drug trafficking routes…"
Upon hearing this, Yang Tao handed the iron skewer in his hand to Zabuza beside him and said, "Sew his mouth shut. He talks too much."
Drug trafficking?
Drug dealers never have a good end anywhere.
