Chapter 42 Zabuza, dead! (Please continue reading)
"it's here!"

Naruto counterattacks!
Zabuza, who suddenly appeared in the middle of the three, was taken aback and could only use kunai to block Naruto's attack.

Hey~
A sickening clang of metal clashing rang out.

Zabuza's eyes widened in disbelief at the power emanating from his hand.

"Wow, that's some strength! Is this kid really a taijutsu ninja?"

“Wow!”

Upon seeing Zabuza appear, Sasuke lunged forward and delivered a flying kick, only to be caught by Zabuza's other free hand.

A Jonin truly lives up to his title.

Just like Kakashi-sensei, he easily overwhelmed these newly graduated genin with his taijutsu fighting skills.

Just as Zabuza was about to kick Sasuke away, Naruto interrupted his spellcasting with a preemptive kick.

Just then, Sasuke took advantage of the opportunity, using the foot that was being grabbed as a fulcrum, and kicked out with his other foot. As a result, Zabuza threw him out and he fell to the ground.

"Look at me!"

Naruto delivered a powerful Iron Mountain Lean, then slammed his right foot into the ground for leverage.

bang~
The ground was trampled into a large depression, and then he soared into the air, his flying right foot aiming for his chin!

"Superhuman Strength Technique: Rising Dragon Kick!"

"Too fast!" Zabuza couldn't even see Naruto's speed, he could only hear it.

Paji~
Zabuza was transformed into splashing water.

It turns out this was just a water clone.

"Are you alright, Sasuke?" Naruto asked his teammate during a lull in the battle.

"fine."

Sasuke got up and looked around warily, already planning to study more taijutsu that night.

If all else fails, swordsmanship will do.

In short, he must make up for his weakness in close combat.

"Is this just a clone?"

At this moment, Sakura brought Tazuna over. She looked around, feeling that Zabuza might be hiding anywhere.

Seeing her nervous expression, Naruto comforted her, "Don't be afraid, it's just a Jonin. I believe our team can handle it."

If all else fails, Naruto can step in.

After saying that, Naruto looked at Kakashi.

"Kakashi-sensei, you don't need to get involved this time. The three of us are enough."

Naruto planned to give his two teammates some training; he already had the dueling arena, so his combat experience was more than enough.

With only Sasuke and Sakura left, the sparring in the training space at night was just to hone their combat skills and had no bloodshed whatsoever. The real combat experience would allow them to improve much faster.

Moreover, with him around, even if these two were dead, they could be saved, let alone if they were injured.

Besides, how can they grow without experiencing hardships, seeing bloodshed, or suffering injuries?

"you."

Kakashi was about to refuse when he suddenly saw Naruto pat his backpack. Kakashi understood; it must be a backpack full of Xiaoyao Maru.

"Where did this kid get so many 'carefree pills'?"

Kakashi was a little puzzled. The village only provided him with two Red Pills this time, and he only had seven in total, including the ones he usually bought.

Naruto, on the other hand, discusses book packaging.

"Be careful."

Kakashi gave a final word of advice, saying that he knew the three kids just needed to grow, and he was ready to make his move at any time.

"Kid, your perception is indeed quite good, but do you think the three of you can stop me? Who gave you the courage?"

Zabuza climbed out of the water, his voice coming from all directions.

The surrounding area was still shrouded in thick fog, so he couldn't see where he was.

Now Naruto probably understands why Zabuza is from Kirigakure in the Land of Water.

There's so much water.

No, this fog is really thick.

No wonder it's called the Hidden Mist Village; surely not everyone in this village has this kind of fighting style?

Naruto pondered for a moment and knew what to do next.

Now that we've tried taijutsu, let's try ninjutsu!
"Get down!"

With a shout to warn the three, Naruto leaped high into the air. "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

The strong winds dispersed the thick fog, revealing Zabuza who was hiding there!

"That brat!" Zabuza glared at Naruto with hatred. This Wind Release technique had wiped out his advantage, and things would probably be tough for him from here on out.

"Ok?"

Zabuza saw the blond brat again and actually formed hand seals in mid-air once more.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Cannon!"

There was no strong wind, no external signs, but a terrifying chakra attack could be clearly felt.

This is a nearly transparent Wind Release ninjutsu!?

"not good!"

After several jumps, Zabuza finally dodged the attack.

Boom~~~ Boom~~~ Boom~~~
It was more powerful than an explosion, though it didn't actually happen. The violent, surging airflow spread outwards, completely dispersing the larger fog around it.

Looking back, Zabuza discovered that all the large trees he had stopped at during his escape had disappeared, leaving only a large pit more than ten meters deep in their place.

The violent chakra exploded, actually cutting the tree and the land into pieces.

Zabuza broke out in a cold sweat.

"This brat! Is he really a genin?"

"Damn it!" Sasuke was quite dissatisfied. What was going on? He had absolutely no chance to make a move.

Naruto landed on the ground and laughed innocently, "Just doing it on a whim, hahaha."

Sasuke walked to Naruto's left and stood facing the enemy. "What ninjutsu did you just use?"

That move was really cool, and Sasuke wanted to learn it too.

"Wind Release Chakra Nature Transformation is something you can't learn right now."

"Hmph!" Sasuke was somewhat envious of Naruto's complete mastery of all five elements, while he himself had only mastered the Lightning attribute's form transformation and was just beginning to explore nature transformation, striving towards a more advanced nature transformation.

"Three years! I will master all attributes within three years!"

On the other side, Sakura stood to Naruto's right, glanced at the two of them, and her eyes gradually hardened.

"I can do it too! I can't hold anyone back!"

Class 7, launch!

In the ensuing battle, Naruto focused on support and no longer took the initiative to attack, instead assisting the two in their fight.

Even as a support, Zabuza dared not underestimate him, as he was constantly on guard against Naruto, which caused him to lose some of his attention out of thin air.

This allowed Sasuke's attacks and Sakura's newly learned superhuman strength techniques to frequently succeed.

They suffered terribly and were forced to retreat in defeat.

Finally, exhausted, Zabuza was forced to stand in front of a large tree with nowhere left to retreat.

"Chidori!"

Sasuke unleashed his ultimate technique, preparing to finish off Zabuza.

Sudden.

Whoosh~~~
Two senbon needles flew in and struck Zabuza's neck.

Blood spurted out, and Zabuza collapsed to the ground, his fate unknown.

Sasuke's Chidori was a step too late, only hitting the tree and creating a huge hole.

"Hoo hoo~ What's going on?"

Sasuke, panting heavily, was extremely annoyed. Anyone would feel bad if their hard-earned kill was stolen.

"Didn't you see that? The damn kill-stealer is here."

Naruto looked up at the person.

The person stood high on a tree branch, wearing a strange dress and a mask with the symbol of the Hidden Mist on it. They had long hair, and it was unclear whether they were male or female.

I sensed that this person had arrived long ago, but had just been watching from the sidelines.

At first, Naruto thought he was just passing by.

After all, there are countless ninjas passing by every day, who knew they were here to steal kills?

"Really, he's dead," the visitor said mockingly.
