Chapter 751 The Question of Minato
Upon hearing Zhang Hai's question, Minato's face instantly turned somewhat embarrassed. He leaned close to Zhang Hai's ear and said shyly, "It was Kushina... Kushina made it for me..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hai instantly realized. He thought to himself, "So it's the fiery Kushina!" He knew Kushina was a member of the Uzumaki clan, and after the fall of the Land of Whirlpools, her wealth likely fell into her hands. In that case, Kushina was quite wealthy.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Minato prepared to leave to report. However, he had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped, a glint of light flashing in his eyes as he looked at a shadowy spot deep in the dense forest.
Zhang Hai also sensed something. A playful smile appeared on his lips as he casually said, "It seems that it's not just Konoha that's paying attention to this place." His tone was full of confidence, as if everything was under his control.
Minato didn't say much, but simply called out in a deep voice, "Come out!"
After Minato shouted his orders, a commotion broke out deep in the forest. Then, a burly figure emerged in a peculiar and flamboyant manner, jumping and chanting rap.
"Yo, listen up! I am Killer Bee from the Land of Lightning! My rapping skills are unmatched!" Killer Bee struck an exaggerated pose, rapping while pointing at himself, his eyes filled with confidence and arrogance.
Minato was somewhat bewildered by Killer Bee's bizarre entrance, a helpless wry smile appearing on his face. He was clearly having a headache dealing with this Raikage's younger brother and the Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki. Zhang Hai, on the other hand, was unfazed, silently thinking: Another familiar face.
Killer Bee walked up to the two of them, and Zhang Hai took the initiative to greet him, a playful smile playing on his lips: "Killer Bee, you sneaked out again, didn't you?"
Kirabi felt a pang of panic, but continued rapping: "Yo, who are you, knowing my secret! Tell me, or I'll make you pay!" As he rapped, he glanced at Zhang Hai a few more times, feeling that the white-haired young man in front of him looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
Zhang Hai smiled and explained, "Back then I had black hair, but now it's white, and I've grown up. Don't you remember me? I'm... Baiyun." He deliberately dragged out the "oh," with a hint of teasing.
When Killer Bee heard the name "Baiyun," he paused for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and carefully examined Zhang Hai. He even reached out and gently touched Zhang Hai's silver-white hair, his eyes filled with surprise and delight.
"Yo! Baiyun, it's you! No wonder I couldn't find you! So you weren't in the village anymore!" Killer Bee excitedly patted Zhang Hai on the shoulder, his eyes filled with the joy of a long-awaited reunion. He clearly still remembered those days in Kumogakure and the deep impression Zhang Hai had left on him.
Zhang Hai asked with a smile, "What do you want from me, kid? Don't tell me you're here to challenge me to a rap contest again."
Killer Bee struck his signature pose, grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth, and rapped in his distinctive rhythm: "Yo, White Cloud, let's have a sword dance, how about it! And while we're at it, a rap performance, to show you how awesome I am!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hai's eyes flickered with interest. Killer Bee was one of the few people who could rival him in swordsmanship. He recalled how he had once cleverly defeated Killer Bee back in Kumogakure. At that time, his strength had not yet fully matured. Now, facing him again, he hoped to truly unleash his full power and have a thorough and satisfying battle with Killer Bee.
“Okay! I accept!” Zhang Hai readily agreed to the competition.
Killer Bee jumped back happily, and with his exaggerated movement, the seven swords hanging at his waist were simultaneously drawn, gleaming coldly in the moonlight. He was ready for battle.
However, just as the two were about to begin their match, Minato suddenly pressed one hand to the ground and stopped them, saying, "Wait, someone else is coming."
Zhang Hai also sensed an unfamiliar chakra aura rapidly approaching. He felt a surge of curiosity, not expecting the Land of Craftsmen to hold such an important position, attracting so many ninjas from major powers, and with one after another arriving.
Deep in the distant forest, two figures silently appeared. One of them, a man with a scar on his face, was none other than Juzo Biwa, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. He turned to look at the one-eyed ninja beside him, whose left eye was covered by a headband—Ao.
In a low voice, Pipa Juzo asked, "Ao, how does it feel to have the Byakugan transplanted?"
Ao chuckled and touched his left eye, a strange light gleaming in his eyes. His tone was full of pride: "It feels great, Senior Juzo Biwa! As expected of the Hyuga clan's bloodline limit, your perception is terrifyingly strong! Even from this distance, I can feel the chakra fluctuations in front of me, and I can even see some faint details."
Pipa Juzo pressed on, "So, can you see what's happening in the Land of Craftsmen right now?"
Qing's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression. He took a deep breath, the veins around his left eye bulging instantly. Then, he swiftly formed hand seals and shouted in a deep voice, "Byakugan!"
At the gates of the Land of Craftsmen, Zhang Hai and Minato almost simultaneously sensed being spied on. Zhang Hai abruptly looked towards the dense forest, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He thought to himself, "To be able to see this far, could Minato have sent someone from the Hyuga clan?" He turned to look at Minato, only to see that Minato was also frowning, shaking his head with a grave expression, indicating no, clearly also puzzled by the situation.
Deep in the dense forest, Ao, using his Byakugan to observe the scene in the distance, suddenly shuddered. His single eye widened in shock, and he paused, his face deathly pale, before saying to Biwa Juzo, "Biwa Juzo-senpai... there's... there's an enormous amount of chakra ahead... and more than one! One of them has far more chakra than anyone I've ever seen before!" Ao's voice trembled slightly, clearly shocked by the sheer amount of chakra he sensed.
Upon hearing this, a look of seriousness flashed in Biwa Juzo's eyes. He had experienced the battle at Zhanghai firsthand and vividly remembered the terrifying amount of chakra. He immediately stopped, pondered for a moment, and then decisively said, "Retreat! We'll just report the intelligence truthfully; let's not cause any unnecessary trouble!" He understood that against an enemy of this caliber, rash action would be tantamount to suicide.
Upon hearing Juzo Biwa's order, Ao breathed a sigh of relief. He secretly rejoiced that the owner of the Executioner's Blade hadn't acted rashly; otherwise, given the terrifying amount of chakra before them, the two of them would have had no chance of winning.
