Swoosh!
Tap tap tap.
A small figure wearing a mask was constantly fleeing, occasionally turning around and firing a large number of senbon to hinder the enemy.
And behind him, Shinji, surrounded by blood threads, was chasing closely!
If he hadn't planned the escape route in advance and set up some traps in advance, perhaps he would have had no way to retreat at this moment.
This man was terrifying!
"Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death!"
"Condense!"
Facing the large number of senbon shooting towards him, Shinji immediately raised his right hand, and the blood surrounding his body immediately divided into a part, forming a wall of red ice crystals in front of him, instantly deflecting all the senbon.
This was another way to use Blood Manipulation, condensing blood into a hard solid for attack or defense.
The disadvantage was that once it was condensed into a solid, it could no longer be restored to a liquid for repeated use.
At this moment, Shinji had noticed something was wrong, the other party was likely deliberately luring him away.
Fortunately, he had let Hidan stay behind for insurance.
With Hidan's strength, there was no need to worry about anything.
Although many thoughts flashed through his mind, it didn't delay Shinji's actions.
He suddenly put his hands together, compressing all the remaining blood around him into his palms, and then opened them to a certain arc, aiming at the rapidly fleeing enemy.
"Blood Manipulation - Supernova!"
Bang!!!
The compressed blood instantly bloomed, spraying towards the target in all directions like a shotgun!
There was no way to avoid it!
When Haku sensed the attack behind him, there was no time to escape such a wide attack range.
So he immediately stopped and made the most correct decision.
Form seals, cast the technique!
"Ice Release: Ice Rock Dome of Magnificent Nothingness!"
A bowl-shaped, thick ice wall immediately rose, inverting and covering Haku inside. Then, in the next moment...
The sound of Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa echoed densely and continuously!
Although the large number of blood bullets made ice shards fly around, when the sound stopped, the ice wall still retained a part and was not completely shattered.
"Heh heh."
Drip, drip!
Haku was breathing rapidly, and blood quickly dripped down along the wound on his arm.
Although he had taken action at the moment he sensed the danger, he was still a little slow and was hit by several blood bullets.
At this time, his right arm had drooped down, half of his body had been stained red, and what was worse was that he had felt numbness in the wound, and his vision had become somewhat blurred and double.
The attack just now was poisonous!
"Ice Release? Who are you?"
Shinji also stopped and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
This body shape and height, and this mask, and most importantly, appearing in the Land of Waves and possessing Ice Release.
If nothing went wrong, Shinji already knew who this kid was.
So the question was, if Haku was here, where was Zabuza?
Obviously, Zabuza should have gone to kill Mira, and was probably already fighting with Hidan at this moment.
As for the outcome.
It was really hard to say, it depended on whether Zabuza used Silent Killing to cut off Hidan's head first, or if Hidan took Zabuza's blood first and completed the ritual with Blood Possession.
Whoever took the first move would win.
It was just that when he killed Gato before, he was very sure that Zabuza hadn't appeared in the Land of Waves with Haku yet.
So what was going on?
Why did Haku suddenly appear, and even run to assassinate Mira?
Could it be that someone else had also issued an assassination mission, and it happened to be taken by Haku and Zabuza?
Shinji couldn't figure it out for a while, but even if the Demon Man Zabuza came, he couldn't let him back down!
Haku didn't say a word.
But it could be seen from his eyes and state that he hadn't given up hope.
"It seems that you have a lot of trust in the guy who is carrying out the beheading operation, thinking that he can hold on until he comes to save you. But... I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
"Because my partner isn't some trash that can be easily killed either!"
"Although I'm unwilling to admit it, that guy's terribleness is something you can't imagine!"
"Okay, enough chatting, it's time for me to show some real skills."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange 'X' shaped bloodstain appeared on Shinji's forehead, and his aura instantly changed!
Blood Manipulation - Crimson Scales Dance!
Swoosh!
Shinji's figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
Although Haku was vigilantly staring at the other party's every move, he still didn't see Shinji's movement trajectory.
Bang!
What brought Haku back to reality was a sharp pain from his lower back!
"When?!"
Haku looked horrified. After breaking a tree, he immediately forcibly adjusted his body shape and landed on the ground.
But before he could raise his head to find the enemy's location, a voice came from behind him.
"Do you know what the blood flow rate of ordinary people is usually?"
Haku immediately rolled forward without hesitation.
In the next moment, a blood-red scimitar directly across the ground, cutting it apart like cutting tofu.
If he hesitated even for a moment, this knife would have been enough to divide him in two from head to toe!
Shinji, holding the blood blade, didn't chase after him immediately, but seemed to be asking and answering himself, "In a normal state, it's about 12.5 cm/s - 14 cm/s. And when people start to exercise vigorously, the blood flow rate will speed up to meet the blood supply needs of various organs and parts of the body."
"So when the blood flow rate speeds up to a certain degree, the limits of the human body can be broken, even if this special state of surpassing the limit can't be maintained for too long, and it will cause great damage to the body."
"So the next question is, how long can you last against me in this state?"
A huge pressure came over him, and Haku only felt that he was about to suffocate in the next moment, but facing such a terrible enemy, he still didn't flinch, didn't beg for mercy, and wasn't defeated by the enemy's words.
"Timing... has begun."
"Ice Release Secret Technique: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals!"
Haku bit his tongue hard. While forcibly restoring his will, he squeezed out all the remaining chakra in his body and bet on this move!
"Zabuza-sama, I'm sorry. Haku may not be able to stay by your side anymore."
...
Three seconds later, more than a dozen ice mirrors shattered in an instant, turning into ice crystals all over the sky.
And Haku's body, hidden in the ice mirrors, also fell down exhausted under Shinji's unreasonable attack.
"It shouldn't be too late to rush back now, right?"
"I hope that idiot hasn't been chopped into pieces, waiting for me to save him."
The bloodstain on his forehead disappeared, and after Shinji muttered to himself, he casually picked up Haku and returned the way he came.
The appetizer was finished, but there was still a main course waiting for him.
