Haku, full name Mizuuchiha Haku, is the future companion of Zabuza who will push Team 7, on their first mission outside the village, into a desperate situation.
He has mastered the remarkable Ice Release technique and the one - hand seal - forming ability. His strength is at least that of a Special Jonin.
At the same time, he is a man officially declared by the author Kishimoto to be more beautiful than women.
According to the timeline, the person in front of him should be Haku. But to confirm, Yue Yan also planned to ask about it.
"Wow, such a cute kid! Aunt Akiko, is she a girl?"
Hearing this, Akiko, who was smiling as she pulled Haku into her arms, shook her head with a smile.
"Haku is a boy."
Yue Yan inwardly thought, "Just as I expected." He could probably guess that when he asked Akiko about her surname, the nervous look on her face was probably because of the Mist Ninja Village's massacre of ninjas with bloodline limits.
However, as far as Yue Yan is concerned, since the Third Mizukage was also from the Mizuuchiha clan, Akiko Mizuuchiha, of the same clan, shouldn't have left the village. Moreover, the Bloody Mist Policy, where ninjas with bloodline limits were massacred, should have been the result of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, being controlled by Obito Uchiha. Could it be happening already?
Yue Yan was only partially right. Although the Mist Ninja Village hadn't implemented the Bloody Mist Policy yet, the Third Mizukage had had enough of the situation where most of the village's resources were controlled by the major bloodline limit families. Therefore, he issued an order to suppress these families.
After the order was issued, leveraging the full authority of the Mizukage, other bloodline - limit families lost some resources, but not much. Since the resources of these families had been affected, they had to make up for it elsewhere.
People like Akiko Mizuuchiha, who hadn't awakened their bloodline limits and didn't even have the talent to become ninjas, were naturally the targets of exploitation.
In addition, even within the same clan, strength was supreme in the Mist Ninja Village. Unable to stand being bullied all the time, Akiko Mizuuchiha fled the Mist Ninja Village and settled in a town in the Land of Water. After hiding her identity, she got married and had children.
The Mizuuchiha clan didn't care about an ordinary person like Akiko Mizuuchiha. They thought it didn't matter if she ran away and it wasn't worth sending anyone to hunt her down.
But Akiko Mizuuchiha, who didn't know this, was afraid that the people who came were sent to kill her. That's why she was so nervous when Yue Yan first asked her name.
Yue Yan looked at Haku, happily smiling in Akiko's arms, and couldn't help sighing inwardly.
Haku's fate was not good. After the Fourth Mizukage took office, he announced the well - known Bloody Mist Policy and spread it throughout the Land of Water.
One day, when Haku suddenly awakened his bloodline limit and his Father noticed it, it eventually attracted the Mist Ninjas' Anbu. Thanks to his Mother's sacrifice to hold them back, Haku managed to escape.
During his wandering, he was picked up by Zabuza, who had defected after failing to assassinate the Mizukage. In the end, they both died in the Land of Waves.
After Haku was accepted by Zabuza, a light seemed to shine into the life of Haku, who had been wandering for a long time. Driven by admiration and longing, Haku had complicated feelings for Zabuza, including affection and respect, and was even willing to sacrifice his life for him.
To be honest, when Zabuza and Haku died, Yue Yan was really touched. If he had the chance, he would try to prevent the tragedy of this poor couple... well, this poor same - sex couple. Yeah, let it be a way to repay the touch from his previous life.
While Yue Yan was thinking about these things, Akiko's husband came back, carrying two fish for tonight's dinner in his hand.
When he noticed Yue Yan, a stranger, his expression became alert involuntarily.
"Who are you? Why are you in my house?"
At this time, Akiko spoke up to explain.
"This young gentleman wants to stay at our place for one night."
"Yes, I'll pay for it." With that, Yue Yan took out a stack of money and put it on the table beside. The amount was about the same as staying in an inn for one night. After all, too much money was not a good thing for ordinary people in the chaotic Land of Water.
Looking at the stack of money, the husband's eyes flickered a few times and then he accepted it. What he was thinking just now was only known to himself.
After Akiko took the two fish from her husband's hand, she cooked the fish in the kitchen and then invited Yue Yan to have dinner with them.
Akiko's cooking was quite good, but Yue Yan didn't eat much. He just ate an ordinary amount.
After dinner, Akiko's husband brought over two glasses of water. After giving one to Yue Yan, he started chatting.
The husband was mainly trying to suss out Yue Yan's identity indirectly. As soon as he said the first sentence, Yue Yan guessed what he was up to.
Yue Yan turned to look at the glass of water on the table, sighed inwardly, but still picked it up and took a sip.
Seeing Yue Yan finish the water, the husband showed an even brighter smile than before.
After chatting a few more simple words and seeing that it was getting late, Yue Yan planned to rest.
After receiving the bedding Akiko brought and spreading it out in the living room, Yue Yan lay down to rest.
When the bright moon hung high in the sky, the husband got up and came to Yue Yan's side, looking at his sleeping face.
"I've been using poison for so many years, and I can measure the dosage very accurately. But after tonight, you probably won't wake up again. Don't blame me. It's your fault that you're so unvigilant."
With that, the husband began to rummage through Yue Yan's pockets and took out a wallet. Looking at the large number of large - denomination banknotes inside, greed flashed in his eyes.
At this time, Akiko, who noticed that her husband had woken up, got up to check and saw her husband giggling there, holding a stack of banknotes in his hand.
"What are you doing?"
Hearing Akiko's question, the husband turned his head, with a terrifying smile on his face that Akiko had never seen before.
"A fat sheep has come to our door on its own. We can't miss this chance."
As he spoke, he waved the banknotes in front of Akiko.
"Look, this fat-cat is really loaded. He even brought so much money with him. If we save it, it'll be enough for our family to live on for two years."
"Ain't you scared he'll come back for payback when he wakes up tomorrow?"
Hearing this, the husband let out a cold laugh and picked up the firewood knife propped against the wall.
"As long as we kill him and bury his body in the mountains, no one will find out. And like you said before, he's separated from his companions. Even if they come looking, they won't find anything."
As he spoke, he raised the firewood knife and was about to strike at Yue Yan.
Just then, Akiko stepped forward and hugged him.
"We can't do this!"
Seeing himself being stopped, the husband, whose greed had overcome his reason, simply broke free and slapped Akiko across the face.
"What a useless wife I've got! Can't you see all this money!?"
"No!"
Akiko covered her swollen face and kept shaking her head.
"We can't do this."
At this time, Haku, who heard the commotion, also came over. Seeing Mother on the ground, he rushed up and hugged her.
Seeing this, the husband let out a cold snort and was about to strike again, but was stopped by Akiko once more.
"You can't off him. If you do, we're in too deep. We'll end up just like those bandits."
Looking at Akiko in front of him, the husband was completely enraged.
"This is the way the world is. Since you want to stop me, then you can die too. I can just find a more obedient one."
The moment he finished speaking, the husband's firewood knife came crashing down.
Seeing this, Haku's eyes widened as he tried to rush over to stop it. However, being just a child, he was powerless to do so and could only watch helplessly as the firewood knife was about to land on Mother's neck.
