Chapter 708 White Palm
Chapter 708 White Palm
Yuan Shi's eyes flashed with shock when he saw the ice-style chakra gathering in Bai's palm. He knew that what Zhang Hai had said was true; this woman was indeed a user of ice-style chakra.
"You really are an Ice Release ninja..." Yuan Shi's voice carried a hint of emotion.
Bai (controlled by Zhang Hai) withdrew his Ice Release chakra and said in a hoarse voice, "Master Yuan, what do you want to know? I will tell you everything."
Looking at Bai's cautious demeanor, Yuan Shi couldn't help but feel a pang of pity. He knew that this woman must have suffered a lot outside.
"Orb said he was a medical ninja who fell into the current while gathering herbs," Master Yuan asked tentatively. "He said he always dreamed of finding a way to free those with bloodline limits from rejection and persecution. Is all of this true?"
Bai (controlled by Zhang Hai) nodded vigorously, "Yes, Master Yuan. My younger brother has been interested in medical ninjutsu since he was a child. He has always wanted to change the fate of our Ice Release clan so that all bloodline limit ninjas can live normal lives." Her tone was full of sincerity, as if every word came from the bottom of her heart.
Looking into Bai's sincere eyes, Yuan Shi's doubts gradually dissipated. He knew that everything Zhang Hai had said was true.
"Orb said he loves Mei Terumi and hopes to give her a happy future." Genji asked again, "Is that also true?"
A shy smile appeared on Bai's (controlled by Zhang Hai) face. She nodded gently, "Yes, Master Yuan. My younger brother really likes Lady Terumi Mei. He always says that Lady Terumi Mei is the kindest and most beautiful woman in the world."
Upon hearing Bai's words, Yuan Shi's doubts about Zhang Hai were completely dispelled. He knew that Zhang Hai's feelings for Mei Ming were indeed genuine.
He walked to Bai's side, gently patted her shoulder, and said with a hint of comfort in his voice, "Child, you have suffered. From now on, you and your brother can live peacefully in Kirigakure. No one will reject you anymore, and no one will hunt you down."
Tears of emotion welled up in Bai's (controlled by Zhang Hai) eyes as she nodded vigorously.
Yuan Shi didn't linger. He smiled slightly at Bai, then turned and left the cave. He knew he had completed his mission. Upon returning, he would immediately report to the Mizukage, lift the policy of rejecting bloodline limits, and prepare for Zhang Hai and Terumi Mei's wedding.
After Master Yuan left, Zhang Hai's soul slowly floated out of Bai's body.
"Lord Zhang Hai, I succeeded!" Bai's voice rang in Zhang Hai's mind, filled with joy and excitement.
“Yes, you did a good job.” Zhang Hai’s soul nodded. “Now, leave here immediately and head to Konoha.”
Upon hearing this, Bai's smile instantly froze. She looked at Zhang Hai's soul form, her eyes filled with incomprehension and resistance.
"Lord Zhang Hai, you...you want me to leave here?" Bai's voice was tinged with pain. "But...didn't you say you were going to take me to your home?"
“Bai, listen to me,” Zhang Hai’s soul form said in a deep voice. “I have more important things to do. I can’t take you with me on this adventure. Go to Konoha, my hometown, where you will receive the best protection.”
"No! I don't want to leave you!" Bai said stubbornly, her eyes filled with resentment. "I promised you I would stay with you! I can't leave you!"
Looking at Bai's stubborn eyes, Zhang Hai's soul form couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness. He knew that Bai had developed a dependence on him.
“Bai, this is my bottom line.” Zhang Hai’s soul form’s tone became serious. “If you don’t leave here, then please stay away from here. I can’t let you get involved in my troubles.”
Bai trembled violently upon hearing this. Looking into Zhang Hai's determined eyes, she knew he was serious. She knew he was protecting her.
She remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.
“I understand, Lord Zhang Hai.” Bai’s voice was hoarse and pained. “I will leave here and go to Konoha. But please, you must come back alive. I will be waiting for you in Konoha.”
Zhang Hai's soul form looked at Bai's determined eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Bai was a smart child, and she would understand what he meant.
"Don't worry, Bai," Zhang Hai's soul said gently, "I will definitely come back to find you alive."
After saying that, Zhang Hai's soul disappeared from Bai's mind.
……
Zhang Hai's soul quickly returned to the wooden house and re-integrated into his body. He opened his eyes and felt every muscle in his body brimming with power.
He knew this was not the time to rest. He had to finish the task as soon as possible.
He got out of bed and went to the window. He saw that Yuan Shi had already left the cave and was heading towards Konoha. He knew that Yuan Shi would definitely go to report to the Mizukage and prepare for his wedding with Mei Terumi.
He pushed open the door of the wooden house and went out. He didn't chase after Master Yuan, but went straight into Master Yuan's courtyard.
Master Yuan's courtyard was filled with all sorts of medicinal herbs, including some rare ones. Zhang Hai knew that among these herbs, there must be something he needed.
With his extensive knowledge of medical ninjutsu, he quickly located the medicinal herbs he needed. He swiftly picked the herbs and then put them into his robes.
He knew that these medicinal herbs were key to his detoxification and also crucial to his plan.
When he came out of Master Yuan's courtyard, Master Yuan had already returned to the wooden house. He saw Zhang Hai holding medicinal herbs and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Oub, what are you holding in your hand?" Master Yuan asked.
Zhang Hai carefully put away the medicinal herbs in his hand, then said with a smile, "Master Yuan, these are some rare medicinal herbs I just found in your courtyard. I am a medical ninja, and I couldn't resist picking some when I saw them."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shi's eyes flashed with realization. He knew that Zhang Hai was indeed a medical ninja, and very sensitive to medicinal herbs.
"Master Yuan, regarding my marriage to Terumi Mei..." Zhang Hai suddenly spoke, his tone tinged with anticipation, "When do you think would be a suitable time to set the wedding date?"
Upon hearing this, Master Yuan smiled kindly. He knew that Zhang Hai truly loved Terumi Mei.
"Since you've already made your decision, let's set it for three days from now," Master Yuan said in a deep voice. "I will immediately report to Lord Mizukage and begin preparations for your wedding."
Zhang Hai was overjoyed. Three days later? That was faster than he had expected.
