OBS Chapter 703 So Handsome
Chapter 703 So Handsome
Mei Terumi looked at Zhang Hai lying on the ground, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She bent down and reached out to remove the mask from Zhang Hai's face.
When she saw Zhang Hai's young and handsome face, she was completely stunned. His features were exquisite, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and even in his unconscious state, he exuded a unique charm.
"So...so handsome..." Mei Terumi sighed inwardly, a blush creeping onto her face. She had never seen such a handsome man before, and for a moment she was completely mesmerized.
She carefully examined Zhang Hai's body and found that he had only fainted due to chakra depletion and exhaustion, and was not seriously injured. She knew that leaving him here under these circumstances would be very dangerous.
Without the slightest hesitation, Mei Terumi picked up Zhang Hai and then used water-style ninjutsu to move through the water like a fish, quickly leaving the underground river exit.
She led Zhang Hai to a secluded wooden hut nearby. The hut was simple, but clean and tidy. She placed Zhang Hai on the bed and then hurriedly sought help from Yuan Shi to save him. Yuan Shi was an elder of Kirigakure and an experienced medical ninja.
Terumi Mei knew that Genji usually liked to fish in the lake near the village. She traveled quickly and soon arrived at the lake.
On the lakeshore, a hunched old man sat, holding a fishing rod and intently watching the water. It was Master Yuan.
"Master Genji!" Terumi Mei hurriedly called out.
Upon hearing Terumi Mei's voice, Genshi slowly raised his head. He saw Terumi Mei's anxious expression, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Mei Terumi, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Genji asked.
"Master Yuan, I've saved someone!" Terumi Mei said anxiously. "He's injured and unconscious, and he needs your help!"
Upon hearing this, Genji's expression turned serious. He knew that Terumi Mei was not someone who would panic easily.
"Take me to see this." Yuan Shi stood up, put away his fishing rod, and followed Terumi Mei towards the wooden house. He had a vague premonition that the person Terumi Mei had rescued might bring some unexpected changes to Kirigakure.
……
When Zhang Hai woke up again, he felt a splitting headache and his whole body ached. He opened his eyes abruptly and found himself lying on a simple wooden bed, surrounded by a wooden hut filled with the faint scent of herbs.
"Where is this?" Zhang Hai struggled to get up, but felt weak all over and couldn't move at all.
Just then, the door to the wooden house was pushed open, and Yuan Shi walked in. He saw Zhang Hai wake up, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"You're awake." Yuan Shi's voice was deep and hoarse. "Your body is exhausted, and your chakra is depleted. You need to rest well; it will take at least ten days to half a month for your injuries to recover."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hai's heart sank. Ten days or half a month? He didn't have that much time to waste here. He still had S-level intelligence to retrieve and Teacher Bai Ya's name to clear.
"Thank you for saving my life, senior." Zhang Hai struggled to bow, but was stopped by Master Yuan.
"No need for formalities," Master Yuan said calmly. "It's a miracle you survived under those circumstances. However, you should rest well first."
Just as Yuan Shi was speaking, Terumi Mei pushed open the door and walked in. When she saw Zhang Hai wake up, a relieved smile appeared on her face.
"You're awake!" Mei Terumi said cheerfully. "You're lucky to be alive. If I hadn't rescued you, you'd probably be fish food by now."
Zhang Hai looked at Terumi Mei, a hint of doubt in his eyes. "You saved me?"
“That’s right!” Mei Terumi raised her head smugly. “However, I also admit that I knocked you out. So, we’re even!”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hai's lips twitched involuntarily. He then remembered that he had indeed been attacked at the exit and then passed out. So it was this woman who did it!
Although he was somewhat frustrated, he knew that Mei Terumi had indeed saved his life.
"Thank you, Terumi Mei," Zhang Hai said sincerely.
Mei Terumi waved her hand. "It's nothing. But who exactly are you? And why are you in the underground river of Kirigakure?" Her eyes were full of curiosity.
Zhang Hai didn't answer; he simply looked at Master Yuan. He knew that now was not the time to reveal his identity.
Yuan Shi noticed Zhang Hai's concerns and waved his hand at Terumi Mei, "Terumi Mei, let him rest first. We'll find out about his identity later."
Although Mei Terumi was somewhat dissatisfied, she still obeyed Genji's words and followed him out of the wooden house.
After the two left, Zhang Hai immediately sat cross-legged and began using medical ninjutsu to heal his injuries. He knew he couldn't waste time here. He had to recover his strength as soon as possible and then continue with the mission.
The green light of medical ninjutsu flickered around his body, and gentle chakra repaired his damaged meridians and cells. He not only had to heal his physical injuries, but also replenish his depleted chakra.
As time passed, Zhang Hai gradually regained his strength. He felt his chakra rapidly recovering, and the soreness in his body gradually disappeared.
After a full day of treatment, Zhang Hai was finally able to walk. Although his face was still a little pale, he had recovered about 70-80% of his strength.
He knew he couldn't wait any longer. He had to find that S-level intelligence as soon as possible.
He took out a scroll from his pocket, then formed a hand seal, summoning his wooden ox puppet. The wooden ox puppet was made of special materials and had a huge internal space that could store many things.
"The intelligence...where is the intelligence..." Zhang Hai manipulated the wooden ox puppet, starting to search inside. He knew that Teacher Baiya must have hidden the intelligence in some secret place when he evacuated.
He searched every corner of the wooden ox puppet but found no clues about S-rank intelligence. A sense of doubt crept into his mind. Had Master White Fang not hidden the intelligence here? Or had he hidden it somewhere else?
Zhang Hai was filled with anxiety. He knew that the longer it took, the greater the risk of the intelligence being leaked. He had to find that S-level intelligence as soon as possible!
He put away the wooden ox puppet and sharply scanned the surroundings of the cabin. He knew that now that he was in Kirigakure, it was virtually impossible to openly gather intelligence. He had to find another way.
He suddenly remembered the scrolls he had obtained from the Hidden Mist Division. Perhaps those scrolls contained some clues about intelligence.
