EBE Chapter 718 Headquarters
Chapter 718 Headquarters
Inside the headquarters of the Hidden Mist Dark Division, everything was in ruins. Yuan Shi looked at the stone house destroyed by Kakuzu, his face ashen.
"Damn it! That Kakuzu! How dare he run wild in Kirigakure!" Genji roared.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist also came to Yuan Shi's side, their faces filled with anger and resentment.
"Master! Why didn't you close the barrier in time?!" Hozuki Chizuki demanded. "If you hadn't failed to close the barrier in time, that Uchiha brat would never have been able to escape!"
Upon hearing this, Master Yuan slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Shut up! Hozuki Chizuki! How dare you question me?! Seven of you were defeated by a mere Uchiha brat and a member of Akatsuki! You've all lost all face!"
He paused, his tone becoming even more serious, "Moreover, that Uchiha brat is emanating a powerful toxin! I was worried he might release the toxin within headquarters, which is why I didn't close the barrier in time!"
He whirled around, his sharp gaze sweeping over the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. "And another thing! I saw that some of you weren't giving it your all in the fight! Suigetsu Hozuki! Why didn't you stop that Uchiha brat?!"
Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon was startled by Yuan Shi's question. His body trembled violently, and he lowered his head, his tone filled with guilt and fear.
"Master Yuan... I... I was seriously injured at the time... and... and that Uchiha brat, the killing intent emanating from him frightened me..." Suigetsu Hobuki stammered.
Looking at Suigetsu Hozuki's timid and submissive demeanor, Yuan Shi couldn't help but sigh. He knew that Suigetsu Hozuki wasn't lying. Zhang Hai's strength was indeed formidable; even he felt a sense of apprehension.
He didn't pursue the matter further, simply waving his hand. "Forget it! Now is not the time to assign blame! The most important thing is to find that Uchiha brat and retrieve the information!"
“But, Master Yuan, that Uchiha brat only stole a false piece of information…” Hozuki Chizuki said.
Upon hearing this, Master Yuan was taken aback. He looked at Hozuki Chizuki, his eyes filled with doubt.
"What?! False information?!" Master Yuan roared, "Why didn't you say so sooner?!"
Hozuki Chizuki snorted coldly, "I thought he would die inside, so I didn't say anything. Now it seems he really is a troublesome fellow!"
Yuan Shi was filled with anger and helplessness. He knew that he had been completely tricked by Zhang Hai this time.
Yuan Shi was filled with anger and helplessness. He knew that he had been completely tricked by Zhang Hai this time.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. "Right now, the most important thing is to find that Uchiha brat, alive or dead!"
He knew that Zhang Hai's identity was very special, and that he was hiding too many secrets. He had to capture Zhang Hai alive to extract more information from him.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen nodded in agreement. They knew that this defeat had caused them to lose face. They had to capture Zhang Hai to wash away their shame.
"That Uchiha brat dares to run wild in Kirigakure!" Jinpachi roared. "I swear, I will make him pay a heavy price!"
"And Konoha! How dare they send people to infiltrate our Hidden Mist Village!" Kikunojo's eyes flashed with hatred. "We will definitely take revenge on Konoha and the Uchiha!"
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist swore an oath, their voices filled with anger and killing intent. A revenge operation against Konoha and the Uchiha clan was quietly brewing.
……
When Zhang Hai woke up again, he felt sore all over and had a splitting headache. He opened his eyes and found himself lying on a simple bed in a damp cave.
He found his body wrapped in thick bandages, and sharp pain shot through his wounds. He knew he was seriously injured.
"you're awake?"
A gentle voice sounded in his ear. Zhang Hai turned his head and saw Bai sitting on the edge of the bed. Her face looked a little tired, but her eyes were full of concern.
"Bai... are you alright?" Zhang Hai asked weakly.
Bai shook his head. "I'm fine, Lord Zhang Hai. You're badly injured and need to rest."
"Hey! You Uchiha brat, you're such a troublemaker!" Kakuzu's voice suddenly came from deep within the cave. He was leaning against the cave wall, his eyes closed, seemingly resting.
Zhang Hai turned to look at Kakuzu and asked, "Lord Kakuzu, who bandaged my wound?" He knew that although Haku was also a medical ninja, her injuries were more serious than his, so it was impossible for her to bandage him. And Kakuzu was even less likely to be the type to take care of others.
Kakuzu opened his eyes, glanced at Zhang Hai, and said with a disdainful tone, "Who else could it be? It's that big-breasted, brainless little girl!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hai's heart skipped a beat. A big-breasted, brainless little girl? He immediately thought of Terumi Mei.
A wave of intense self-reproach washed over him. He knew that Mei Terumi must have risked her life to come here to save him. And she had even bandaged his wounds herself.
“Ming Terumi…” Zhang Hai murmured to himself, his eyes filled with pain. He knew he had deceived Ming Terumi’s feelings and taken advantage of her kindness. Now, however, she was risking her life to save him.
He clenched his teeth, a strong resentment rising in his heart towards Tsunade.
"Damn it! It's all that old hag Tsunade's fault!" Zhang Hai roared inwardly. "If she hadn't dragged me into seclusion, I wouldn't have been caught up in the opportunity by Yuan Shi, and Mei Terumi wouldn't have been involved!" He subconsciously pushed all the blame onto Tsunade.
"Bai, help me untie the bandages," Zhang Hai said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Bai's face showed a troubled expression. "Lord Zhang Hai, your injuries are very serious. Removing the bandages now might..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Untie me!" Zhang Hai's tone left no room for argument. He knew he couldn't continue lying there like this. He had to recover his strength as soon as possible and then face Miki.
Bai hesitated for a moment, but ultimately obeyed Zhang Hai's command. She reached out and carefully unwrapped the bandages on Zhang Hai's body. However, the bandages were wrapped very tightly, and there were also some special chakra seals, making it extremely difficult for her.
"Lord Zhang Hai... this bandage... seems to be sealed with ninjutsu..." Bai said with some difficulty, "I can't undo it..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hai's heart sank. He knew it must have been Mei Terumi who did it. She must have placed a ninjutsu seal on his wounds to prevent him from escaping again.
