I am the most popular character in Naruto!

This reaction, which is worse than even a novice's, is a complete disgrace to the master!

After a moment of self-pity, Sakura immediately protected Tazuna and rushed out of the range of the Magic Mirror Ice Crystal, looking at Sasuke and Naruto with concern.

"You have entered my Magic Mirror Ice Crystal. In the world of the Magic Mirror Ice Crystal, I am the ruler!"

Haku's figure appeared in the mirrors surrounding Sasuke and Naruto. At first, he only appeared in one mirror, but soon his figure appeared in all the mirrors.

"What the hell... what is this thing!?"

Sasuke's Sharingan kept spinning, but his two-tomoe Sharingan alone was not enough to see through Mizuki Haku's Demonic Mirror Ice Crystal.

Naruto, in a fit of stubbornness, dragged his shadow clones towards the mirrors, attempting to destroy them. However, Naruto's strength was limited, and the damage he caused to the mirrors was negligible.

"This technique cannot be broken until my chakra is exhausted."

"Those trapped by this spell can only quietly await their death!"

Mizuki Haku's words were filled with considerable confidence; even Zabuza, trapped in the Demon Mirror Ice Crystal, could only clear a path with brute force.

Even if Zabuza uses brute force to clear a path and destroy the mirror, Mizuki Haku can immediately re-condense the mirror and repair the Demon Mirror Ice Crystal.

Unless the person trapped in the Magic Mirror Ice Crystal can destroy it faster than Mizuki Haku can repair it, then just as Mizuki Haku said, the Magic Mirror Ice Crystal cannot be broken until his chakra is exhausted.

"I don't believe it! Smash it!"

Naruto, the stubborn kid, would never believe such a thing. What do you mean it's impossible to break? It's just because the destructive power isn't strong enough!

Lacking suitable tools, Naruto could only have his shadow clones use kunai to slash at the target.

Fortunately, the kunai were of good quality, otherwise Naruto's shadow clones would probably have been destroyed by the kunai that broke when they hit the ice.

Sometimes, it's not true that more people mean more power; in any case, Naruto's side wasn't doing so well.

A large group of shadow clones surrounded the ice mirror and smashed it. The mirror was not damaged much, but a large part of the shadow clones were broken.

Unlike Naruto, Sasuke didn't act recklessly. His gaze was fixed on Haku, who was standing in the mirror.

Itachi Uchiha once said that every ninjutsu has a weakness, and Sasuke wholeheartedly agreed with this statement.

Even though Itachi had become an enemy that needed to be defeated, his influence on Sasuke was profound.

Naruto gave Sasuke some information: since they couldn't directly destroy the technique, they should try a different approach—destroy the person who cast it!

Without hesitation, Sasuke lunged at the mirror where Mizuki Haku was standing and unleashed a close-range Fireball Jutsu at him.

However, this fireball had no effect on Mizuki Haku; instead, it blasted Sasuke into a mess.

"Don't waste your energy. I've already said it: within the Magic Mirror Ice Crystal, I am the master!"

Mizuki Haku appeared in another mirror with a cold smile. Even with his Sharingan active, Sasuke couldn't see his movement.

"So what? Your dodging proves my point."

Although Sasuke didn't have a good solution, he couldn't show any panic on his face.

He scoffed, "If my fireball has no effect on you, why do you need to dodge it?"

Upon hearing Sasuke's words, Haku was silent for a moment, and Naruto also reacted, turning his gaze to Haku.

"Did I hit the nail on the head?"

"Your Magic Mirror Ice Crystal is not invincible. Once you are dealt with, this spell will naturally break!"

Sasuke said confidently, while Naruto began to rub his hands together, "I see, that makes it simple."

"Hey, you androgynous bastard, come out and fight me!"

"Ah."

Hearing Naruto's words, Mizuki Haku sneered.

He originally didn't intend to kill Naruto and Sasuke. Zabuza's mission target was Tazuna, and the Land of Water and the Land of Fire had always been on good terms, so it wouldn't make sense to kill them directly.

But now, Naruto is actually saying that he's neither male nor female!

I can't bear it!

Who can bear this?

"If that's what you think, then give it a try!"

Mizuki Haku said angrily, and Sasuke and Naruto exchanged a glance. He then shouted directly at Naruto, "Block all the mirrors!"

"Oh!"

Naruto clenched his fist and immediately crossed his hands to unleash the Shadow Clone Technique.

bang bang

Instantly, a shadow clone of Naruto appeared in front of each ice mirror, fist raised and glaring menacingly as Mizuki Haku appeared.

The scene resembled a game of whack-a-mole where a hammer was placed in front of each hole.

"Now you can't escape!"

Sasuke confidently formed hand seals, leaped into the air, flipped over, and spat fireballs at all the surrounding mirrors.

"Fire Escape! Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!"

Numerous small fireballs accurately struck each ice mirror; the Uchiha clan was particularly adept at this dispersed attack method.

"Naruto! Attack as soon as he shows his face!"

Sasuke landed on the ground, his eyes fixed on the ice mirror.

The next second, the Phoenix Fire did indeed strike the ice mirror, but all the ice mirrors simultaneously flashed white light, and then, a Mizuki Shiro appeared on the surface of each ice mirror.

Naruto's shadow clones didn't hesitate to throw a punch. After the punch, the shadow clones disappeared due to the recoil, but Haku stood there as if nothing had happened.

"It's a good idea, but it doesn't work for me."

Mizuki Shiro said with a cold laugh, his figure appearing and disappearing within the ice crystals of the magic mirror, occupying every surface of the mirror.

"It's time to send you on your way!"

He raised a finger, and Sasuke's eyes narrowed. "Damn it!"

That was Qian Sha Shui Xiang's hand seal technique. In this enclosed space, neither of them could escape!

Chapter 586 Negative Example

"Water Release! Great Waterfall Technique!"

Zabuza painstakingly formed 44 hand seals, fully unleashing his chakra, and used the Water Release A-rank ninjutsu, Great Waterfall Technique, in a very stylish manner!

It should be noted that, given the complexity and destructive power of this ninjutsu, very few people in the entire Hidden Mist Village know it.

The title of A-rank ninjutsu is well-deserved!

Zabuza had to use up more than half of his chakra to finally unleash this ninjutsu.

He believed that Kakashi, who looked so weak, would definitely not be able to withstand the onslaught of the Great Waterfall Technique!

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique, a technique that Sister Chiaki used as a typical negative example, I never thought I would actually see it in actual combat."

Kakashi burst out laughing when he saw Zabuza unleash the Great Waterfall Technique.

……

"...During the release of ninjutsu, it is essential to pay attention to the ratio of hand seals to chakra. Overly complicated hand seals and excessive chakra consumption are not qualities of a valuable ninjutsu..."

When Chiaki was teaching the children how to release ninjutsu, she gave a typical negative example: the Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique.

"Among the water-style techniques, there is an A-rank ninjutsu that is not as good as its name, namely the Great Waterfall Technique."

Chiaki calmly explained, while Otohime, as her assistant, demonstrated the hand seals and effects of the Great Waterfall Technique to the children.

"Because Water Release ninjutsu requires a ninja's ability to control and sense chakra, many Water Release ninjas cannot achieve perfection."

"To compensate for this problem, they used hand seals to increase the range of their ninjutsu."

"But this is precisely a flawed and rather impractical approach."

Otohime floated in the air, her hands moving up and down, giving the children a good demonstration of what top-level hand seals looked like.

"The Great Waterfall Technique has 44 hand seals, and the method of forming the seals is quite complicated. Even if we optimize it, it still requires at least 12 hand seals for ordinary people to perform."

"The amount of chakra it consumes is disproportionate to the damage it causes. It can only be described as a ninjutsu that is more like a show-off technique. If someone actually uses it in actual combat, it can only prove that the person's water-style ninjutsu skills are not very good."

Chiaki's words amazed the children, and Sasuke, as a leading figure of the younger generation, timely raised his own questions.

"Is there any water-style technique that can replace and solve this problem?"

"Without considering chakra perception and control."

Sasuke had considerable confidence in his control and perception of his own chakra.

"Yeah, there is."

Chiaki nodded to Sasuke with satisfaction, signaling Otohime to switch to another ninjutsu.

"If we disregard the ability to sense and control chakra, then the water-style ninjutsu of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, is the most suitable."

"This ninjutsu consumes almost the same amount of chakra as the Great Waterfall Technique, but causes far more damage. In addition, this technique only requires 10 hand seals, and after simplification, it only requires 3 hand seals to release."

"The name of this technique is..."

……

"Let me show you what the real Great Waterfall Technique is all about."

Kakashi quickly formed three hand seals in front of him, took a deep breath, and then exhaled forcefully.

"Water Release: Exploding Water Wave!"

If the Great Waterfall Technique creates the volume of a whole waterfall, then the Burst Water Wave creates the volume of an entire lake!

Kakashi's chakra perception and control are absolutely top-tier in the ninja world, and he can unleash the Exploding Water Wave effortlessly.

In an instant, the entire forest was flooded with water. Kakashi's Exploding Water Wave instantly submerged Zabuza's Great Waterfall Technique and spread to Naruto's side as well.

Naruto and Sasuke were experiencing despair. They looked at the magic mirrors and ice crystals surrounding them, and in each mirror, a Mizuki Haku was forming hand seals in front of them.

The icy, bone-chilling ice chakra had already gathered within the ice crystals of the Demon Mirror. Everyone knew that in the next moment, countless ice senbon would pierce through the two of them!

"Naruto... do you have any other ideas?"
