I am the most popular character in Naruto!

If we were still standing there, we would have been stabbed to death by these ice needles.

"Naruto! Switch places!"

Swoosh

Sasuke and Sakura landed beside Naruto, and with serious expressions, they pulled Tazuna up.

"That's Ice Release, the bloodline limit of the Land of Water!"

Sakura explained seriously, "This bloodline limit is very powerful; we can't force it!"

"It's not certain how many enemies there are yet, but their numbers certainly won't be many."

Sasuke added, "If there were more of them, they would have swarmed in already, and..."

He glanced at Tazuna. "It's not worth spending so much money to hire ninjas to assassinate this old man."

Naruto looked at the thick fog around him with frustration. He couldn't see anything more than five meters away. Good grief, how was he supposed to fight?

"Watch out, the next wave is coming!"

As the one with the best chakra perception among the three, Sakura temporarily took on the role of the sensory ninja. She picked up a kunai and assumed a fighting stance.

Naruto clicked his tongue lightly, and with his index fingers interlaced, a very familiar hand seal appeared in his hands.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

bang bang

Immediately, a row of Narutos surrounded the four of them, warily watching their surroundings.

The fog is very thick, isn't it?

You can't see your surroundings, right?

I'll just use sheer numbers!

If Naruto had known just how vast this fog was, he would have used Shadow Clones to completely cover it up!

Even if I don't know where the enemy is, I can just place one person in every location to fill up the field of vision!

Looking at the circle of Naruto, Mizuki Haku was completely puzzled. He had never seen such a method used to counter the Hidden Mist Technique before, and it was quite novel.

However, as everyone knows, the clone technique has no practical use, and even shadow clones are easily destroyed.

For ice-style ninjas, there's an absolute abundance of ice senbon.

"Ice Escape!"

"Thousand Kill Water Flight!"

Mizuki Haku raised two fingers and performed a hand seal with one hand.

However, he was still in the thick fog at that moment, and no one saw this scene that shocked ordinary people for a year.

Ninety percent of ninjas need to form hand seals to activate ninjutsu, and ninety-nine percent of ninjas use both hands to form hand seals, even those few who can summon whatever they want just by clapping their hands together.

Only a few ninjas with an extremely deep understanding of ninjutsu and a particular familiarity with hand seals can perform fancy hand seals.

For example, Itachi Uchiha, who had the fastest hands in the ninja world; Jiraiya, who used his feet to form hand seals; and Sasuke, who only had one hand left in the later part of the original work.

Now, such an extremely rare talent has emerged.

Chapter 583 The Killing Intent is Too Heavy

“Ahhhh——!!!”

"Hmph—Aaaaaaah!!!"

Hearing Naruto's screams coming from afar, Kakashi felt relieved.

The fact that this kid can still make such a loud, agonizing sound means he's in very good condition.

Especially considering that so many screams were coming together, it was clearly the sound of his unorthodox shadow clones.

"You still have the mind to look around?"

Zabuza, having regained his composure amidst the thick fog, spoke menacingly to Kakashi.

He had just lost a small contest of physical combat skills, leaving him looking disheveled and in a very bad mood.

However, Zabuza felt that this was all temporary. The battle between two ninjas was always a back-and-forth affair, and a temporary setback was nothing to worry about.

Look, Kakashi got careless after gaining a slight advantage, and the chances of winning this round are in my hands!

Zabuza concealed himself in the thick fog, constantly shifting positions, seeking a suitable vantage point to launch an attack on Kakashi.

"I said, can you please stop running around like that? Aren't you tired?"

Kakashi stood there scratching his head helplessly, looking rather lazy.

Zabuza felt a surge of tension upon hearing his words.

There's no reason for this; shouldn't this guy have noticed my movement?

The art of silent killing is all about being completely invisible, making it impossible for anyone to detect your location through sight, hearing, or other senses.

This is a closely guarded secret of Kirigakure!

Hmph, this guy must be bluffing me!

Zabuza did not stop. He lowered his body and moved even lighter, constantly circling around Kakashi.

"I already told you, don't run around like that, it's tiring!"

Kakashi frowned, then clapped his hands together decisively, forming a hand seal at a speed Zabuza couldn't comprehend, and casually unleashed a Fire Release: Great Fireball.

Hula

A massive fireball tore through the thick white fog and exploded right in front of Zabuza, startling him so much that he rolled twice on the spot.

If he hadn't instinctively stopped in his tracks, that fireball would probably have exploded on him.

"You can sense my location!?"

Zabuza looked at Kakashi incredulously and asked, "Do you know what's so difficult about your location?" Kakashi raised an eyebrow and asked, "

"impossible!"

"This is impossible!"

Zabuza couldn't trust Kakashi. He had absolute faith in Kirigakure's secret silent killing technique, and after concealing his presence, he started running again.

It must be because I wasn't fast enough that Kaka Simon got there!

"I've already said... it's really annoying."

Kakashi twitched the corner of his mouth and reached up to tighten his mask.

While the Hidden Mist Technique does indeed obscure chakra perception, becoming a Kage-level ninja greatly enhances one's physical abilities, making one's perception of the outside world much sharper.

This keenness encompasses all five senses, including various perceptions, especially the ability to detect killing intent and murderous aura.

While the Hidden Mist Technique can indeed block the five senses and chakra perception, it cannot block the most direct physiological senses.

Good heavens, Zabuza's murderous aura is so intense, it's like a small sharp knife aimed at Kakashi. If Kakashi doesn't react to this, he'll be unworthy of his Kage-level strength.

In Kakashi's perception, Zabuza was like someone holding a small knife, circling around him, which was equivalent to scraping his skin with a fingernail.

It's really disgusting!

"Fire Escape! Dragon Fire Technique!"

Kakashi didn't even bother with hand seals; he simply clapped his hands together and spat out a fire dragon at Zabuza.

Now, Zabuza finally admitted that Kakashi could sense his location.

The previous Fireball attack could be attributed to luck, but this Fire Dragon attack is hard to explain.

Who could have imagined that the fire dragon would rush straight at them?

It even changed direction and lunged at me after I changed direction?

A heat-seeking missile, right?

Zabuza's face was grim. He raised his Executioner's Blade and slashed fiercely at the fire dragon.

This slash cleaved the fire dragon in two.

However, this also exposed his weakness.

"Here it is."

The moment Zabuza cleaved the fire dragon in two, Kakashi appeared beneath him, his body lowered, his expression calm.

Zabuza's expression changed. Kakashi was crouching in this strange position, clearly intending to knock him into the air.

In dense fog, floating is indeed the best option.

Since Zabuza can't make many movements while in the air, Kakashi only needs to attack towards the sky.

If Zabuza hadn't been attacked from above, he might have changed direction due to the force of his backward flight and disappeared into the thick fog.

"I won't let you succeed!"

Zabuza gritted his teeth and swung his sword at Kakashi, trying to force him back from his attack.

However, Zabuza's slash landed squarely on Kakashi, producing a hissing sound.

"?!"

Shadow clone!

Zabuza's expression changed, and he quickly formed a hand seal.

The next moment, a large net was placed over Zabuza, and at the same time, several ninja dogs pounced on him.

"Earth Release: Tracking Fang Technique!"

Kakashi crouched to the side, quietly watching the ninja dogs surround and tear Zabuza apart.

But as soon as the ninja dogs took a bite, they realized something was wrong; Zabuza in their mouths turned into water and disappeared.

"Oh... water clone."

Kakashi nodded, tilted his head slightly, and several water dragons inexplicably appeared behind him, rushing straight towards him.
