Chapter 728 Contact
Chapter 728 Contact
Among them, there was one person who did not want Zhang Hai to have any contact with him.
“Zhang Hai, the Konoha-ryu sword technique is powerful, but…” The Third Hokage hesitated, trying to persuade Zhang Hai.
However, Zhang Hai remained unusually persistent. "Lord Hokage, I need the strongest swordsmanship! I need to spar with the strongest swordsmen to master the power within me! I need to change this world!" His voice was filled with determination.
Looking into Zhang Hai's resolute eyes, Tsunade felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She knew why Zhang Hai was fighting. She turned to the Third Hokage and urged, "Hokage-sama, since Zhang Hai has this determination, please grant his request!"
The Third Hokage sighed; he knew he couldn't refuse Zhang Hai.
"Sigh... alright." The Third Hokage said helplessly, "However, the strongest Konoha-style swordsman right now, Kuroya, is out on a mission..." He tried to buy time with this.
Upon hearing this, a hint of suspicion flashed in Zhang Hai's eyes. He knew that the Third Hokage was deliberately making excuses.
"Lord Hokage, can't you even grant this small request?" Zhang Hai's tone carried a hint of doubt and a hint of pleading. "Don't you want to see your disciple make a greater contribution to Konoha? Please grant your disciple's wish!" He once again tried to move the Third Hokage by addressing him as "teacher and disciple."
Looking into Zhang Hai's eyes, which were filled with determination and pleading, the Third Hokage couldn't help but waver. He knew that Zhang Hai genuinely wanted to become stronger.
Just as the Third Hokage was hesitating, a cold voice suddenly rang out outside the Four Purple Flame Formation.
"Lord Hokage, are you looking for Kuroya? He's right here."
The Third Hokage whirled around and saw Danzo leading a ninja in an Anbu uniform wearing a fox mask, standing outside the Four Purple Flames Formation. It was Night!
The Third Hokage's face instantly turned ashen. Looking at Danzo's grim face, a strong sense of unease welled up within him. He knew that Danzo's appearance was definitely not a good thing.
"Danzo! What are you doing here?!" the Third Hokage roared, his voice filled with rage.
Danzo ignored the Third Hokage's roar; he simply stared at Zhang Hai, his eyes flashing with a cold light. "Uchiha Zhang Hai, didn't you want to spar with someone? Hei Ye is the strongest Konoha-style swordsman!"
Zhang Hai stared at the darkness that had appeared before him, a chilling murderous intent flashing in his eyes. He knew that the Night was one of the culprits behind the scenes, stirring up rumors and driving Teacher Baiya to his death!
He clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly. His eyes were filled with hatred and determination. He vowed to avenge his teacher!
The Third Hokage sensed the intense killing intent emanating from Zhang Hai and felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that a bloody battle was about to unfold between Zhang Hai and Hei Ye.
He glanced at Danzo, his eyes filled with anger. He knew that Danzo was deliberately sowing discord, trying to use Zhang Hai to eliminate Hei Ye.
"Kuroya, didn't you want to see the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan?" Danzo said with a sneer. He turned to look at Kuroya and reminded him, "Don't forget, the cursed seal on your body is not just for show!"
Upon hearing this, Hei Ye trembled violently. He knew that Danzo was warning him not to reveal any secrets.
Zhang Hai ignored Danzo and Hei Ye's conversation. He simply took out a scroll from his pocket and opened it. On the scroll were the three large characters "Death Contract".
"Dark Night! Since this is a life-or-death duel, then let's sign this life-or-death agreement!" Zhang Hai's voice was filled with murderous intent.
Hei Ye glanced at the life-or-death agreement in Zhang Hai's hand, a flicker of hesitation crossing his eyes. He knew that signing the agreement meant he would be engaged in a life-or-death battle with Zhang Hai.
"Sign it!" Danzo commanded in a low voice, his tone laced with threat. "This is your chance! Kill this Uchiha brat!"
Upon hearing this, Hei Ye trembled slightly. He knew Danzo was forcing him. He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination. He knew he had no way out.
He took the life-or-death contract from Zhang Hai, then pricked his finger with a kunai and pressed his bloody handprint onto the contract.
Hei Ye took the life-or-death contract from Zhang Hai, then used a kunai to cut his finger and pressed his bloody handprint onto the contract.
Danzo watched as Kuroh signed the death warrant, a chilling smile creeping onto his lips. He gave Kuroh a murderous glare, signaling him to kill.
Tsunade was filled with worry as she watched Zhang Hai sign the death waiver. She knew that Kuroya was Danzo's confidant, powerful and ruthless. She quietly approached Zhang Hai and handed him a bottle of pills.
"Zhang Hai, this is my latest pill. It can temporarily boost your chakra and heal your injuries," Tsunade said in a low voice. "Remember, finish this quickly! Don't give him any chance!"
Zhang Hai took the pill and nodded to Tsunade. He knew that Tsunade was concerned about him.
Minato walked over to Zhang Hai and patted him on the shoulder, his voice encouraging, "Zhang Hai, keep going! We believe in you!" As he patted Zhang Hai's shoulder, Minato secretly engraved a Flying Thunder God mark on Zhang Hai's shoulder.
As Zhang Hai felt the warmth of Minato's hand, a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that Minato was encouraging him.
He turned to look at his teacher's tombstone and bowed deeply. His eyes were filled with determination and resolve.
"Teacher, I will definitely avenge you!" Zhang Hai said silently in his heart.
He turned around, facing the darkness. He completely concealed his aura, not letting it leak out in the slightest. The darkness emanated a powerful killing intent, completely suppressing Zhang Hai.
The Third Hokage's eyes flashed with approval when he saw Minato pat Zhang Hai on the shoulder. He knew Minato understood his meaning. He walked to Minato's side and whispered, "Minato, in a critical moment, you must save people!"
Upon hearing this, Minato's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt. He had assumed that the Third Hokage had asked him to save Zhang Hai.
The Third Hokage seemed to see through Minato's doubts, and he emphasized again, "Minato, when I said I was saving someone, I meant saving Kuroya!"
Minato was stunned by the Third Hokage's words. A look of shock crossed his face. He hadn't expected the Third Hokage to ask him to save Kuroya!
"Lord Hokage, this..." Minato asked incredulously.
The Third Hokage looked at Minato's shocked expression, sighed, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Zhang Hai has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. If he is truly blinded by hatred, the power he unleashes will be devastating. Hei Ye cannot die. He still has value."
