章 98: Chapter 98 Zabuza's Misery

While Mei and Murasaki silently curse, there is another fear in their hearts.

With Zabuza's strength, he used his ultimate technique directly, but he was actually defeated by the enemy instantly.

'This is too exaggerated!'

'Is this the strength of Konoha's strongest genius? It is much stronger than our Kirigakure!' When the two were still shocked, they suddenly became nervous when they saw Sōseki's gaze shift towards them," What do you want to do?"

To their surprise, Sōseki not only was not aggressive, but instead said apologetically, "Don't be nervous, it's just me being nosy. After all, Chunin Exams didn't prohibit fighting..."

"But everyone came to take the exam at the invitation of our Konoha, and this stage was not about killing. It would be a shame to die like this, so, I personally implore you to let them go."

"Are you... requesting us?" Mei was dumbfounded. In their understanding, the strong always dominates everything.

Even if the other party breaks the rules, the strong can be forgiven no matter what they do!

This is Kirigakure's law of survival!

However, this does not mean that they like such cold rules. As long as they are human, they will always yearn for sunshine.

Sōseki smiled gently and asked, "Can you?"

Faced with this warm and gentle smile, the two little girls felt a tinge of unexplainable emotion in their hearts, 'He's really, really gentle!'

Compared with their mentally handicapped teammates, Zabuza, the "enemy" in front of them is ten thousand times better than him.

'Wait, Zabuza...'

At some unknown point, Zabuza, who slid down from the tree, has turned into a clone, and his main body has quietly circled the forest to arrive behind Sōseki.

"I didn't expect these two women are still useful in attracting that guy's attention!"

With a crimson handprint on his face, Zabuza jumped out and stabbed Sōseki from behind. The two girls immediately wanted to exclaim... but suddenly they realized that Sōseki is their enemy and reminding the enemy is actually not good.

Just as they were hesitating and tangled, Sōseki slapped behind him with his backhand without looking back, and slapped Zabuza away again like a fly.

Sage Mode coupled with the Eight Gates Technique. Even if it is only the first three gates, it is still very powerful.

The corner of Mei and Murasaki's mouths twitched upon seeing this. They never expected that Zabuza would be slapped again like that.

And then, without any hesitation, the two said in unison, "Let's go now!"

After saying that, the two turned around and planned to leave.

But after thinking about it, they still walked to Zabuza's side, grabbed one of his legs, and dragged the fainted Zabuza away.

Sōseki sighed helplessly. If Zabuza didn't use sneak attack and fights him head-on, it can cause him some trouble.

Well, at least he needs two more attacks.

At this time, the three Takigakure's Genin, who were falling into a dream, finally woke up.

"Sōseki-sama, thank you so much!"

"I will keep your great kindness and virtue in my heart!"

Sōseki shook his head slightly and said gently, "I'm just doing it out of the host's position, as I don't want you to die because of this."

The eyes of the three were extremely firm, "No matter what the reason, it's you who saved us!"

"Don't think too much, let's continue the exam." After Sōseki finished speaking, he gave the three Genin a brief treatment.

Then, they became more and more grateful towards Sōseki.

When Takigura's group of three also leaves, Asuma and Kurenai arrived late.

"hu~ hu~ Sōseki, is this right here? Where are they?"

"It has been solved!"

"Isn't it too fast? " Asuma complained, and then asked again, "However, that Zabuza actually attacked the other's participants?"

Kurenai gave him a sideways look, "Didn't he say it before the exam?"

Asuma snorted and said, "It's before the situation has changed! Who knew Orochimaru-sama would actually make the exam a hunting mode? I don't believe there is anyone else besides Sōseki who can deal with that Manda!"

"Don't hold me too high. What I lack the most right now is the means to deal with such large creatures." Sōseki didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Sōseki, I know you want us not to let our guard down." Asuma pressed his hands on Sōseki's shoulders, his eyes are squinted, "But, do you think I will believe you?"

Sōseki sighed helplessly, "Let's talk about Zabuza. His strength is not weak. If he just runs away, he should still have a certain degree of confidence to escape from Manda's mouth."

Kurenai then added, "There are so many "prey" in the forest, so there is no need for Manda to keep chasing a person. If he finds that the prey is not easy to catch, he will naturally change his target."

"That's right, that guy also doesn't seem to be someone who will take care of his teammates." Asuma muttered, and then asked, "By the way, Sōseki, will we keep following them to save people?"

Sōseki shook his head with a smile, "Of course not, helping people twice will raise suspicion!"

Asuma then wondered, "But, even if we don't follow them, Zabuza will still kill people, then, how can we save people?"

The corner of Sōseki's mouth rose slightly, "Don't worry, I gave him a little suggestion when I knocked him unconscious."

Asuma sighed and then said, "Sōseki, can you stop thinking about it so comprehensively every time and give me some room to play!"

Sōseki rubbed his chin and said, "Zabuza's seeds have been planted and those that can hinder him will be sent to the finish line ahead of time. Next, we will go to rescue our Konoha's companions who may be swallowed by Manda. Asuma, I'll leave it to you!"

Asuma was shocked, "Saving people? It seems like it's too important! Sōseki, wait, there is too much room for this to play! Would you like to think about it again?"

...

At the other side of the river.

Murasaki grabbed Zabuza's legs and threw it down heavily, then she raised her head, "We have saved him this time. Let's see if he still dare to say that we are holding him back!"

Mei flipped her hair and said, "You'd better not irritate him, be careful as he can kill you!"

Murasaki trembled and said, "No way, if we hadn't dragged him away just now, he would have been killed by those Takigakure's Genin!"

Mei rolled her eyes at her and said, "It's not like you don't know what kind of place our Kirigakure is."

Hearing this, Murasaki hurriedly fixed the trousers that was ripped apart when she was venting to Zabuza.

Seeing Zabuza was still unconscious, Murasaki relaxed, "Alas, I really envy that Shimizu Sōseki's teammate. It must be very comfortable to have such a strong, gentle and handsome person like him as the captain!"

After saying that, she looked at Zabuza with contempt.

In the past, Zabuza still has the advantage of being strong. But now, compared with Sōseki, he is completely defeated inside and out.

Hearing this, Mei nodded in approval. She really wanted to change Zabuza with Sōseki!

At this moment, Zabuza's body twitched and he woke up.
