In the thick fog, Zabuza was constantly changing his position, launching probing attacks at the enemy again and again.
But each time, the Kubikiribōchō in his hand ended up falling on empty space.
The more undefended Hidan was, the less Zabuza dared to cut down.
Whether it was the strong crisis when he first attacked, or the other party's strange appearance, they all showed that this was likely a trap to lure him to attack!
But if he continued to stalemate, not only would Haku be in danger, but when the other party's partner rushed back, even he would be in danger.
Suddenly, Zabuza took a deep breath, put the Kubikiribōchō back on his back, and then took out a short knife from his arms.
Even knowing that it might be a trap, he had to take the risk to test what the other party wanted to do.
Otherwise, he would have to evacuate immediately.
At this time, Hidan, who was standing in the ritual, was already a little bored, and his patience was being quickly worn down.
If it wasn't for particularly looking forward to seeing the scene of the enemy personally killing himself, he would have couldn't wait to finish off the other party.
Suddenly, his expression moved.
"Here it comes!"
"Aren't you going to do it?"
This time, Zabuza didn't even use the Silent Killing Technique, just to let Hidan discover him in advance.
But what made Zabuza's face gloomy was that the other party was still standing there calmly, motionless, as if he was sticking his head out waiting for him to kill.
Grip, draw the knife!
Tear!
A bloody wound suddenly appeared on Hidan's back.
"If I hit, let me see what will happen next!"
The thought flashed through Zabuza's mind, and then at the moment he injured Hidan, a sharp pain came from behind him, causing him to widen his eyes.
Zabuza's figure quickly disappeared into the fog. After he pulled away to a safe distance, he reached out and touched his back, and a long wound was bleeding non-stop.
And even the position and length were exactly the same as the knife he had cut the enemy with before!
"So that's how it is, the ability to forcibly die together with the enemy..."
Zabuza muttered to himself, seemingly understanding why he had felt that needle-like death warning before.
If that knife had fallen, it was uncertain whether that guy would die, but he himself definitely wouldn't survive.
Things had become tricky now.
Zabuza frowned tightly and began to think about countermeasures.
However, at this moment, a bloody hole suddenly burst out in his left leg, and blood was flowing out of it.
Then with a puff!
Another bloody hole appeared in his right thigh.
Zabuza's legs trembled, and he almost fell down, but after staggering, he stood firm again with his tenacious willpower.
"Is this guy hurting himself?!"
"And he can actually ignore the spatial distance and reflect it directly onto my body, this is troublesome."
Zabuza raised his head, his face as gloomy as water.
On the other side, Hidan, who had lost his patience, had to do it himself and provide for himself.
So after taking out the black spear, he chose to open two bloody holes in his legs first, to prevent the other party from escaping.
Next would be the punishment for the other party not cooperating with him!
Holding the spear against his chest, aiming at the position of his heart, he slowly inserted it in little by little.
The pain coming from his body made Hidan show an extremely joyful expression.
He was going to let the other party feel the arrival of death little by little, unable to stop it, and could only watch it happen, and die in despair!
But just as Hidan was enjoying this moment, a ferocious water dragon suddenly slammed into his body!
The black spear in his hand was knocked to the ground, and the whole person was directly sent flying more than ten meters away, and then fell heavily on the ground.
The thick smoke dissipated again...
Zabuza, with his hands on the ground, spat out several mouthfuls of blood.
Just now, he was almost dead because his heart was pierced!
But even in that desperate situation, he still remained calm.
Not only did he recall the enemy's action of drawing a pattern on the ground with blood before, but he also noticed the fact that that guy had never moved since then.
From this, he made a guess.
The other party's strange ability was likely to be activated only within that pattern.
So he immediately released the Water Dragon Bullet Technique, betting his life here.
And, he seemed to have won the bet.
The ferocious water dragon not only knocked the other party away, but also caused him to suffer the same serious injuries.
But the subsequent damage was no longer reflected back to him!
"Your technique has been seen through by me!" Zabuza raised his head fiercely, his eyes full of killing intent.
Although his body was bleeding everywhere, and even his internal organs were vaguely displaced, he still had no intention of retreating. Instead, he wanted to take this opportunity to kill Hidan!
What a coincidence!
Hidan, who had just climbed up from the ground, had the same thought.
Today, either you kill me, or I kill you, there was no third possibility!
The humid and cold sea breeze howled past, and the killing intent between the two was bone-chilling!
"Why did you make yourself so miserable, Hidan?"
A voice suddenly rang out, causing Zabuza and Hidan to turn their gazes at the same time.
"Shinji, don't interfere. I want to use him to perform the ritual!"
"Haku, what's wrong with you?"
When Shinji appeared carrying the seriously injured Haku, the scales of victory had completely tipped to their side.
"Zabuza...sama"
An extremely weak voice came from Haku's mouth.
"Having suffered such serious injuries, and even poisoned by my mixed toxins, you can actually maintain a trace of consciousness and haven't fainted, what a terrible obsession." Shinji praised very seriously.
With a bang!
Zabuza pulled out the Kubikiribōchō with a ferocious face, and slammed it heavily on the ground, "Give me back Haku!"
"Hey, bastard! I'm your opponent!" Hidan shouted very dissatisfied.
However, at this time, Zabuza's eyes were only on Haku, and Shinji, who controlled Haku's life and death, and completely ignored Hidan's shout, as if he hadn't heard it at all.
Then Shinji suddenly spoke, "Since you all think I'm a redundant person here, then let's make a deal."
Zabuza said in a deep voice: "What deal?"
"Give me your Kubikiribōchō, and I'll give you back Haku, and I won't interfere in the fight between the two of you. If you win, you can take people away. If you lose, leave your lives together. How about it, deal?"
"How can I trust you?"
"You can gamble, the worst is just the same as now. If I take action, not only will this kid die now, but you, who are so seriously injured, will die too."
At this time, Haku issued a weak voice again, "Don't... mind me... hurry... go... Zabuza...sama"
Zabuza was silent for a moment, and then suddenly threw the Kubikiribōchō in his hand into the air!
