Chapter 707 Sister
Chapter 707 Sister
“Master Yuan, my sister… she dares not enter the village.” Zhang Hai said hesitantly, his tone tinged with bitterness. “Because of her Ice Release bloodline limit, she is being hunted down by the villagers, so she is wary of all ninjas.”
Master Yuan nodded in understanding. He knew that many bloodline limit ninjas lived in fear and distrust.
“In that case, I will go out of the village alone to meet her,” Yuan Shi said in a deep voice. “If what you say is true, then I will agree to your marriage with Terumi Mei.”
Zhang Hai was overjoyed, knowing that his plan was more than half successful. He suppressed his excitement, but his face remained calm.
"Thank you very much, Master Yuan!" Zhang Hai said respectfully.
Master Yuan didn't say anything more. He simply gave Zhang Hai a deep look before turning and leaving the cabin. He knew that this meeting could have a profound impact on the future of Kirigakure, and even the future of the Land of Water.
After Master Yuan left, the calm on Zhang Hai's face vanished instantly, replaced by a smug smile. He knew that he had successfully "fooled" Master Yuan.
However, this smugness didn't last long. Just a few minutes later, Mei Terumi rushed into the room, her face beaming with joy.
"Orb! Orb! Master Genji agreed! He agreed to our marriage!" Mei Terumi shouted excitedly, then suddenly threw herself into Zhang Hai's arms.
Zhang Hai embraced Terumi Mei, feeling the softness and warmth of her body. He knew he had to maintain his "deeply affectionate" persona.
"Really? That's wonderful!" Zhang Hai said affectionately, then whispered in Terumi Mei's ear, "Terumi Mei, you are truly my lucky star. Meeting you is the happiest thing in my life."
He knew that Mei Terumi was now blinded by happiness and completely unguarded against him. He had to seize this opportunity to use the Spirit Transformation Technique to separate his soul from his body and then secretly follow Genji.
Zhang Hai whispered sweet words in Terumi Mei's ear while subtly forming hand seals. His body instantly became transparent, and a phantom soul floated out from within him, hovering above him.
Mei Terumi remained immersed in happiness, completely unaware of Zhang Hai's change. Her gaze was unfocused, and a blissful smile graced her face.
Zhang Hai's soul silently drifted out of the wooden house, without disturbing anyone or leaving any trace. He knew that now was the perfect time for him to act.
His soul was flying at high speed through the air, following Yuan Shi at a distance. He knew that Yuan Shi would definitely go to find "the sister with the Ice Release Bloodline Limit," and this was his chance to reunite with Bai.
Soon, Zhang Hai's soul followed Yuan Shi to the entrance of Kirigakure. He saw an invisible barrier set up at the village entrance, the very same detection barrier he had previously guessed. This barrier could detect the chakra fluctuations of any non-Kirigakure ninja.
Zhang Hai's heart skipped a beat. He knew that if he brought Bai directly into the village, the barrier would definitely detect him. But now, with Yuan Shi's "introduction," he could openly bring Bai into the village.
He didn't linger, but accelerated, breaking through the barrier of Kirigakure. His spirit form drew a graceful arc in the air, flying towards the agreed meeting point.
Soon, he found Bai waiting in a secluded cave outside the village.
"Bai!" Zhang Hai's soul echoed directly in Bai's mind.
Bai suddenly opened her eyes and saw Zhang Hai's soul appear in front of her, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"Lord Zhang Hai!" Bai's voice echoed in Zhang Hai's mind, "You succeeded?"
“Hmm.” Zhang Hai’s soul nodded. “Master Yuan has believed me. He’s on his way here to meet you.” He paused, his tone grave. “Remember, you must play this role well. The success of our plan depends on you.”
Upon hearing this, a determined glint flashed in Bai's eyes. "Please rest assured, Lord Zhang Hai, I will definitely perform well!"
He withdrew his soul and returned to the wooden house. He knew that he would face an even more severe test next.
Zhang Hai returned to his body. He lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and tried to calm himself. He knew that Master Yuan would soon return with Bai. He had to be fully prepared.
He used the Spirit Transformation Technique again, and his soul quietly left his body, then flew out of the wooden house at an extremely fast speed, heading towards the cave where Bai was.
"Bai!" Zhang Hai's soul echoed in Bai's mind once again.
Bai suddenly opened her eyes and saw Zhang Hai's soul appear in front of her, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"Lord Zhang Hai!"
“Listen, Bai,” Zhang Hai’s soul said in a deep voice, “Now, I need your help. I will inject my soul into your body and temporarily take control of it. You just need to follow my instructions and not resist.”
Upon hearing this, Bai's eyes flashed with surprise, but she nodded vigorously without hesitation. "I understand, Lord Zhang Hai. Please control me as you see fit."
Zhang Hai's soul slowly approached Bai, and then, like invisible smoke, instantly merged into Bai's body.
Bai felt a cold yet powerful force instantly fill her body. Her consciousness began to blur, and her body was no longer under her control. She felt that her body had become Zhang Hai's vessel.
Zhang Hai controlled Bai's body, waiting quietly in the cave. He knew that Master Yuan would arrive soon.
……
Yuan Shi traveled swiftly and soon arrived outside the cave. He saw that there were no traps or defenses at the cave entrance, which puzzled him.
He entered the cave and saw a long-haired woman dressed in a simple kimono sitting deep inside. Her face showed a hint of wariness, and her eyes were filled with unease.
"Are you Orb's sister?" Master Yuan asked in a deep voice.
Bai (who was being controlled by Zhang Hai) slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with fear and wariness. She didn't speak, but simply nodded silently.
Seeing Bai's appearance, Yuan Shi couldn't help but believe Zhang Hai's words to some extent. He knew that these bloodline limit ninjas did indeed live a life of constant fear.
“You don’t need to be afraid,” Master Yuan said gently. “I am Master Yuan from Kirigakure. I’m here to find out about your brother Orb.”
Bai (controlled by Zhang Hai) trembled slightly, then she stretched out her hand, and a ball of cold chakra condensed in her palm.
