On the screen.
Zabuza, having lost Haku, seemed to have lost his fighting strength.
Kakashi easily overpowered Zabuza.
Naruto still stared in disbelief at Haku's corpse.
He couldn't believe such a kind person had died just like that.
Died for that villain.
Suddenly, a group of people swarmed onto the bridge.
It was Gato and his Ninja.
Gato had hired Zabuza.
He controlled the Land of Waves' maritime transport, attempting to control the entire Land of Waves.
He would never allow the "Naruto" bridge to be built.
Gato had once publicly executed the "courage" of the Land of Waves.
Tazuna's grandson, Inari, had since stopped trusting anyone.
He had fallen into a state of gloom.
And Naruto.
Besides his own mission.
It was also to make Inari believe.
That in this world, heroes still existed!
Gato and his group came onto the bridge.
Besides dealing with Naruto and his group, it was also to kill Zabuza.
In his eyes.
Rogue Ninja like Zabuza were far cheaper than official Ninja.
Now that Zabuza had served his purpose, it was naturally better to get rid of him.
And avoid any extra costs.
[It seemed to be the grudge from breaking his wrist earlier.]
[Gato trampled on Haku's corpse.]
[Naruto angrily rushed forward, wanting to take down Gato, but was stopped by Kakashi.]
[Naruto yelled at Zabuza.]
["Say something, he was your comrade!"]
[Zabuza stared in Gato's direction.]
[His eyes were as cold as ever.]
["Shut up, brat, Haku is already dead."]
[Naruto felt a faint indignation for Haku.]
["His body is being treated like that, are you really indifferent?"]
[Gato: "Just as Gato used me, I merely used Haku."]
["I should have said, we Ninja are just tools."]
["What I wanted was his ability, not him."]
["I have no regrets."]
[Naruto: "You bastard, are you serious saying something like that!"]
["That guy, that guy, he really liked you!!"]
["He liked you so much!!!"]
["But, are you truly indifferent!"]
["Are you truly, are you truly indifferent..."]
At this moment, all Naruto could think of were the scenes of his previous battle with Haku.
All the words he had said.
Almost every sentence was related to Zabuza.
'I want to fulfill his dream.'
'I might be useless to him.'
'Kill me.'
It seemed Haku's entire life was lived for Zabuza!
But Zabuza, now after his death, could even abandon his corpse!
[Naruto's voice gradually became tearful, but still so powerful.]
["If I become as strong as you, will I really become that cold-blooded?"]
["That guy lost his life for you."]
[As he said this, tears welled up in Naruto's eyes, unable to be held back.]
[With blurred vision, Naruto vigorously shook his head, trying to shake off such feelings.]
["Without even his own dream."]
["Dying as a tool."]
["This, this, this is simply too painful!!!"]
[At this moment.]
[Drops of water slowly fell in front of Zabuza.]
["Brat."]
[Zabuza slowly raised his head.]
The man who had witnessed countless deaths, now had his tear ducts broken.
["Stop talking."]
["Haku, he wasn't just for me."]
["For you too, he fought with resolve."]
["I know, that guy was just too gentle."]
["Finally, being able to fight with you, it was truly wonderful."]
[Zabuza tore off the bandage mask on his face, revealing his entire face.]
["Yes, brat, the result is as you said."]
["Ninja are also human, perhaps they can't completely become emotionless tools."]
["I lost."]
["Brat, lend me a kunai!"]
From the moment he tore off the bandage mask.
Zabuza once again possessed something to protect within him.
He was no longer that cold-blooded Ninja.
In his battle with Kakashi.
Zabuza's hand muscles were damaged, unable to even hold a kunai.
Fortunately, he still had his teeth.
Biting down on the kunai.
Zabuza, like a sharp blade, fiercely stabbed into Gato's group.
Unfortunately.
Unlike typical hero novels.
Zabuza had dozens of enemy blades stuck in his back.
He finally collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.
But Zabuza's goal had been achieved.
Gato, who had trampled on Haku's corpse.
Had already had his throat slit by him.
In the end, it was the villagers of the Land of Waves who gathered, led by Inari.
Cooperating with Naruto.
They drove away Gato's subordinates.
[With Kakashi's help.]
[Zabuza's body was carried to Haku's corpse.]
[As if Haku was crying.]
[Snow began to fall from the sky.]
Just like that day of heavy snow.
'Someone like you, needed by no one, will eventually die violently in the streets.'
'Brother, your eyes are very much like mine.'
Ninja always have to wear masks.
Zabuza always wore a bandage mask.
Until this very last moment.
[Zabuza turned his head to look at Haku's perpetually calm face.]
['You were always by my side.']
['At least in the end, let me be by your side.']
['If possible.']
['I want to.']
['Go to the same place.']
['I want to too...']
[The snow melted on Haku's eyes, leaving a streak.]
At this scene, countless people in the Ninja World shed tears.
Born on a snowy day.
Met Zabuza on a snowy day.
And finally died on this snowy day.
Truly, as Kakashi said.
He was a boy as pure white as snow!
Land of Waves.
In the forest.
Haku stared blankly at the two figures lying on the screen.
Mr. Zabuza... he cries too, huh.
Haku turned to look at Zabuza.
Zabuza seemed to sense it, turning his head to the other side.
"Mr. Zabuza?"
Zabuza the Demon, who emerged from the Hidden Mist Village, killing everyone else in his graduating class.
At this moment, he dared not face Haku.
He crouched down, gathered strength, and then flew off the tree.
Leaving only a perfunctory remark.
"I'm going to find some food..."
Konoha.
Ninja Academy.
Naruto, like the "Naruto" on the screen, was in tears.
Sasuke: "Idiot Naruto is crying!? How childish!"
Naruto: "I just drank too much water!!"
Sasuke: "So that blonde guy on the screen isn't you?"
Naruto: "No way!! It's not the same!"
Sasuke: "It seems that 'Seventh Hokage' on the screen is also fake."
Naruto wiped his face clean and yelled: "Sasuke, how could that be!"
"I, Uzumaki Naruto, am destined to become the Seventh Hokage in the future!!!"
Sakura: "..."
She watched them argue.
Sakura somehow felt like Sasuke-kun was perhaps jealous?!
Because when Sasuke faked his death on the screen, Naruto didn't cry.
But when Haku died, Naruto cried like a baby!
As she thought about it, Sakura quickly slapped her forehead.
She couldn't think any deeper!!!
