Chapter 13: Previous Mission 1: Speak Up When You See Injustice
After making a wish to the ancestor, Zhenyan waved to Itachi who was waiting below: "Itachi, here I come!"
After saying this, he leaped forward...
Although the statue was very tall, it was still much shorter than a regular bungee jump. Zhenyan only felt the excitement for a moment before being pulled by the rope. However, the pulling sensation on his body did not last. After a short stay in the air, Zhenyan resumed the state of free fall...
Zhenyan was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that if nothing unexpected happened, it must be an accident, and his rope might have broken...
Where is the blessing from the ancestors? Did the ancestors think that jumping alone was not exciting enough? So they helped him break the rope? This is really exciting!
Despite such complaints, Zhenyan was still calm because he had observed before jumping and knew there was a river below. Even if the rope really broke, it would not be a big problem, so he simply closed his eyes and waited to enter the water...
Shingon was ready, but the impact he imagined did not come. It was Itachi who suddenly rushed over and caught him...
Feeling that it had come true, Shingon opened his squinting eyes and immediately met Itachi's eyes. Itachi had opened his Sharingan at some point, and his original one magatama had become two magatama...
Shingon blinked to make sure he was not seeing things, and he looked around and found that his vision had not changed at all. After all the trouble, he still did not open his eyes, while Itachi's Sharingan had been upgraded.
Shingon was happy for Itachi, but when he noticed Itachi's unusually tense expression, he silently swallowed back what he was about to say...
He looked down and saw that the rope was not broken and was still tied to him tightly. It was just that the knot at the other end had come loose. It must be because the stone wall was too smooth and the old man's hair didn't catch the rope.
Itachi must have been frightened by him. Thinking of this, Shinyan quickly apologized and promised: "I will be careful next time and will never make the same mistake again!"
Itachi still had a stern face. He put him down, turned around and left without saying a word.
Zhenyan chased after him, thought for a moment and said, "Next time I'll use two... no, three ropes..." While speaking, he also showed three fingers.
Itachi glanced at him, finally stopped, and asked, "Do you want to jump again?"
"Uh..." Zhenyan looked back and saw that the two stone statues were still standing there. The sound of the waterfall was not very loud.
Real bungee jumping requires signing a waiver, so he had naturally considered various possibilities before jumping. The most important thing was that after he learned how to refine chakra, he discovered that chakra could not only enhance physical strength, but also improve the body's self-healing ability. He had accidentally cut his finger before, but it healed in less than two minutes.
After that, he made a special effort to learn about the medical system of the ninja world, and found that although the technological level of the ninja world was not as good as that of the real world, the medical level was very advanced with the blessing of chakra. In addition, the height of the stone statue was not very high, so even if there was an accident, he would only suffer minor injuries at most and could recover by his own healing ability.
Just looking at Itachi's extremely serious expression, Zhenyan didn't know how to explain it. Maybe Itachi acted too stable, which made him treat Itachi as a real peer. In essence, Itachi was still a child, and when facing a frightened child, of course he had to go along with him.
"No more dancing."
Shingon successfully resolved the friendship crisis, and in order to express his apology, he bought some sugarcane seeds after returning. He knew that Itachi loved sweets, so he planned to grow some sugarcane and give it to Itachi.
Shinyan planted the sugarcane seeds next to the radish field. In order to make the sugarcane mature as quickly as possible, he used some chakra and did not stop until the sugarcane sprouted.
Next, he picked a few more radishes and prepared to take them back to give to the Third Hokage. However, before he could walk out of the radish field, he met Zabuza and Haku again.
This time was different from before. Zabuza was injured and there was a lot of blood on his body. Bai used his thin body to support Zabuza, and the two of them walked with difficulty.
Shingon was about to step forward, and at this moment, a masked ninja suddenly rushed out from behind the two of them. The ninja held a sword in his hand and stabbed Zabuza in the back...
The situation was critical, and Zhenyan spoke directly: "Spare his life!"
The assassinating ninja paused, stunned on the spot. Zabuza and Haku in front of him were the same, but Zabuza's ninja quality was obviously higher. He was the first to react. He turned around and saw the ninja behind him, and immediately formed seals with both hands: "Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique..."
A large amount of water gushed out of Zabuza's mouth quickly, and the masked ninja was hit by the water and was instantly rushed away...
Although the enemy was knocked down, he was still exhausted and had injuries on his body. He was shaky and about to fall. Even with Bai's support, he still stood unsteadily. After swaying twice, he finally fell down...
Zhenyan walked forward, intending to help, but the little Lolita named Bai stared at him warily: "You...you don't come over..."
"Ah?" Zhenyan looked around and confirmed that there was no one else here except him, but he was not a bad guy, right?
This was Bai's first time seeing a mouth-to-mouth trick. Zhenyan's words "spare his life" kept turning around in his mind, making it difficult for him to concentrate, so he thought this was a very dangerous illusion...
"This hero seems to be seriously injured. If you need treatment, I can lend you my house." Although he didn't understand the reason, Zhenyan still explained it, and then he turned around and went back to his own wooden house.
Bai was still a little doubtful as he watched Shingon's leaving back, but he quickly took action. He first found the masked ninja who had been knocked unconscious by the water escape technique, and an ice cone appeared in his hand. He gave the masked ninja one more stab, then returned to Zabuza, helped Zabuza up, and walked towards the wooden house where Shingon was.
In the end, Zabuza still lay down in Zhenyan's cabin...
The next day, when Zhenyan went there again, Zabuza had already woken up. Perhaps because he was under someone's roof, he had to bow his head. This time, Zabuza didn't hold his sword across his face, but his eyes were still alert: "What do you want?"
Zhenyan tilted his head innocently. Does he look like such a bad person? And how can one be greedy for rewards when doing good deeds?
In order to prevent outsiders from misunderstanding the village style of Konoha, Shingon said solemnly: "Don't worry about it, as the saying goes, when you see injustice, you should speak up. I just did what every Konoha villager would do."
While falling asleep, the words of Zabuza who said “spare his life” kept echoing in his mind: “…………”!
