Chapter 101
Zixu, who was far away in the Hidden Leaf Village, looked at Zabuza, who had already stood up. It seemed like the man wanted to say something to him. But before Zabuza could open his mouth, something unusual happened on Zixu's side.
"What... what? The organization's supplies have been depleted? 452 bullets?"
Zixu had learned his lesson and no longer blocked messages from the system. As a result, he was usually the first to know what was happening back in the village.
"System! You're not deducting my points for this, right?"
Once bitten, twice shy—he wasn't about to get tricked into covering the organization's expenses with his personal points again.
"No"
Zixu finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the system's clear response. But across from him, Zabuza was staring at him in confusion.
Just now, Zixu had lost control of his emotions for a moment, and in his frustration, he had accidentally broken the metal railing between them. Zabuza, who had been about to start cursing, suddenly shut his mouth.
"Wait a second... Aren't prisoners supposed to have their chakra drained before entering prison? How the hell do you still have the strength to break an iron bar?"
Zabuza also noticed that Zixu didn't show any signs of being beaten—his body was completely clean.
Zixu thought that maybe Zabuza wasn't planning to escape just yet. Did he have some other goal for staying here? If so, Zixu felt guilty. His outburst just now might have messed up Zabuza's plans. That was careless of him.
