Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

Chapter 39 Kakashi's defeat?! What?! Sakura is warming up?!

"Sure enough, Bai was hiding in the shadows."

He held the decapitation sword in one hand.

It was as if the blade wasn't slashing down, but rather a piece of paper; the movements were incredibly casual and fluid.

Erzhuzi was so eager to kneel down and become Naruto's disciple that Sakura's eyes were practically ready to devour him.

"Is this what superhuman strength is...? Naruto-kun is really strong!"

boom--

Naruto casually set down the executioner's blade and looked to the side.

Beneath the mask, there must be a face painted with women's clothing.

To be fair, the little boy and girl are quite good-looking.

After all... on Douyin, you can even see a group of men flirting with one man through the screen, while another group watches another man flirting with another man.

Zabuza dared to face the Blood Mist Village, but he dared not face Haku's feelings for him.

In the end, it all came to naught; he only dared to reveal the truth when he himself was nearing death.

Old Man of Six Paths: I hope that this hatred can be transformed into love...

Naruto: I love you, Mommy!

"This...this brat!"

"It was just one hand that stopped my decapitation sword?"

"Damn it, why can't I sense any emotion from him?"

Zabuza was terrified and for a moment forgot that his executioner's sword had been taken away.

At this moment, in his mind, Naruto in front of him was no less dangerous than Kakashi!

However, the arrogant Zabuza still believed that the advantage was in his hands!

He couldn't possibly give away the weapon he'd used for so many years.

"You brat! Do you even know what weapon you're holding?"

Naruto even kicked the Executioner's Blade:

"It? It might be famous in Kirigakure, but in the ninja world, to be honest, the so-called Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are just so-so."

"Damn it! I am the Demon King Zabuza Momochi! The number of people I've killed at your age could pile up into a mountain!"

Although he was shocked that Naruto could easily block his Executioner's Blade attack with one hand.

However, Naruto's words did indeed provoke him.

Because if lies only bring pain, then the truth is the sharpest knife.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?

During the Third Shinobi World War, weren't several of them kicked to death by a mere Konoha genin?

After Zabuza finished speaking, he ignored Tazuna, who was being protected by Kakashi.

He turned and attacked Naruto.

With a sudden leap, the kunai flew out first.

Ding--

Naruto simply picked up the Executioner's Blade and held it in front of him.

Kunu?

This thing can kill ninjas?

Zabuza's face grew even more grim.

Using his decapitation sword to block his attack is more painful than slapping him in the face.

However, Kakashi is no pushover either.

whoosh-

He lifted the headband that covered his Sharingan.

Using the Body Flicker Technique, he appeared in front of Naruto and logged in as a clone ninja, Hatake Kakashi.

hateful!

Seeing that he could not retrieve the Executioner's Blade immediately, Zabuza abandoned the decision and instead created distance.

"Zabuza, I won't let you try to hurt my comrades a second time!"

The three of them: "..."

This is the second time, including the kunai.

and many more!

Sasuke's pupils suddenly contracted, and then he looked at Kakashi's left eye.

"Sharingan?!"

Just swinging it around randomly!

"Heh, Konoha's copy ninja, Kakashi Hatake with the Sharingan, so this is the Sharingan?"

"It certainly looks very unique."

Zabuza chuckled sinisterly, a hint of contempt on his lips.

Clearly, he thought he was capable.

"It seems that getting the decapitation sword back will have to involve you."

"Kakashi! Then I'll defeat you first!"

Zabuza formed hand seals and casually raised one arm.

hum-

As the fog rose, Zabuza disappeared into it, his hands forming hand seals once more before he transformed into a puddle of water and merged into the surface.

All the five people could hear was the sound of him releasing his ninjutsu.

"Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Technique!"

"Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, protect Mr. Tazuna! Use the swastika formation!"

Kakashi's expression instantly turned serious when he saw the surrounding fog thicken again.

Naruto placed the Executioner's Blade in front of Sakura.

"It suits you well. You can use it first. Your strength has improved a lot, so you should be able to use this knife, right?"

"Yes, thank you Naruto-kun!"

cut!

Erzhuzi glanced coldly at Kakashi's back.

They then took their positions, protecting Tazna in the center of the three-man formation.

Kakashi could naturally sense Sasuke's gaze.

But now is not the time to talk about these things.

He then began to recount information about the demon, Zabuza Momochi.

"Everyone, please pay attention."

"The Demon King Zabuza Momochi is no ordinary enemy."

"Back when he was still in Kirigakure, he was a ninja in the Kirigakure assassination squad, known for his silent killings."

"If you let your guard down, Zabuza's sword could very well sever your head."

"Furthermore, although I possess the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, I am not a member of the Uchiha clan, so I cannot fully utilize the abilities of this eye."

The atmosphere became tense because of Kakashi's words.

They won't give up until they're killed; they still dare to pretend!

"Eight positions..."

The voice came from all directions; it was Zabuza's voice.

"Throat, spine, lungs, liver, carotid artery and subclavian vein, kidneys, heart..."

As he spoke, Zabuza unleashed his killing intent.

Which position are you planning to choose?

"Should we try them one by one?"

Tazna trembled instantly.

Sakura held the Executioner's Blade, her eyes resolute.

On the other hand, Sasuke was unsettled by Kakashi's Sharingan, and for a moment, he was even somewhat frightened by Zabuza's verbal tactics.

Kakashi formed hand seals to dispel the mental energy that was interfering with his chakra.

At the same time, it also dispersed some of the fog that had extremely low visibility in the surrounding area.

Then came the clash of killing intent between the two Jonin.

For a time, they fought to a standstill.

Erzhuzi was breathing rapidly. He had never seen such power before... No, he had seen it before; that man also possessed this power!

He only knew that this power was very strong, but this was the first time he had faced such terrifying killing intent.

The more Erzhuzi sensed, the more violently his body trembled.

"Sass, give it your all!"

Suddenly, Kakashi shouted.

Erzhuzi was instantly awakened, only to find himself covered in a cold sweat.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you with my life!"

However, just as Kakashi finished pretending, a voice rang out behind him.

"So you're the first one to die."

Zabuza instantly appeared behind Kakashi, and as he spoke, the kunai in his hand pierced through Kakashi's head.

Zabuza turned to look at Sakura, who was holding the Executioner's Blade.

"My Executioner's Blade is not something a low-ranking ninja like you can wield."

"Put away your meaningless illusions."

"Yeah?"

No sooner had Zabuza finished speaking than a kunai was placed against his neck.

Kakashi appeared behind Zabuza without anyone noticing.

His eyes were icy cold, as if if Zabuza dared to move even slightly, a kunai would pierce his throat.

"As expected of Kakashi, who rose to fame during the Third Shinobi World War."

"But can you really protect your men?"

This sentence came from beside Dazner.

wow-

Kakashi's Zabuza, which was held up by a kunai, instantly turned into a puddle of water.

Sakura and Sasuke's eyes widened instantly, their faces filled with disbelief.

When?!

Oh no! I can't move!

Erzhuzi reacted immediately and wanted to make a move.

But he was already intimidated by Zabuza's murderous aura.

"hateful!!!"

In contrast, Sakura, who has an exceptional talent for chakra control, is not as helpless as Sasuke.

She had already put her backpack down, and the moment Zabuza appeared, she raised her Executioner's Blade and slashed at him.

Ding--

Zabuza raised his hand, intending to use the steel plate on his arm to block.

However, the moment the decapitation sword struck the steel plate...

He admitted that he had miscalculated!

In an instant, his arm made a crisp cracking sound.

At the same time, the decapitation sword continued its speed, cleaving him in two with a single strike.

Kakashi, who was rushing towards them, widened his eyes.

They seemed unable to believe that what they were seeing was real.

Is this...is this the same weak, pink-haired girl from two months ago?

and many more!

I've had my Sharingan exposed to light for a short while now, and I haven't even felt my chakra rapidly draining away.

That's too much!

Unfortunately, it's combat time now, and there's not much time for him to react.

"Kakashi-sensei, watch out behind you!"

Sakura quickly called out.

Sure enough, Zabuza, who had been severed in front of Sakura, turned into a puddle of water again.

Another Zabuza appeared behind Kakashi.

Kakashi has "died" yet again.

Naruto, who had witnessed everything, rolled his eyes.

At this point, they're still putting on an act?

In the original work, Kakashi even messed up; hopefully, he won't mess up later.

wow-

Kakashi also turned into a puddle of water.

"Water clone?"

"I never expected that this sentence could see through even the thick fog and replicate my water clone."

Zabuza knew that the next battle would be a direct confrontation between the two main characters, so he didn't rush in but instead kept his distance.

"That brat... damn it, how can she be so strong?"

Unfortunately, Kakashi had already anticipated his move.

The moment Zabuza stood on the branch.

Kakashi once again held his neck with a kunai.

"It's over, Demon King Zabuza Momochi."

Kakashi's voice was very calm.

But to Zabuza, it sounded extremely sarcastic.

Sakura's eyes lit up as well. Although Kakashi's killing intent couldn't compare to Zabuza's, his strength was definitely superior.

When Erzhuzi came to his senses, his face darkened. He couldn't ignore Kakashi's Sharingan in his left eye.

Moreover, the opponent he faces is indeed someone he cannot compare to in his current state.

Perhaps... Naruto can!

"Hehehe... Hahaha~!"

Zabuza laughed wildly.

"Interesting, very interesting!"

"Is this the Sharingan?"

"It seems it's nothing special..."

puff-

Kakashi moved his hand, and a kunai pierced Zabuza's throat, but Zabuza's voice rang out behind him again.

"in this way!"

Kakashi's pupils constrict slightly.

Water clone?!

When did he use so many weapons?

Shila-

Chidori!

The lightning chakra stimulated his body, making Kakashi even faster.

He bent down to dodge Zabuza's attack, and then delivered a heartfelt remark.

After all, Kakashi was quite familiar with the phrase "speak from the heart."

Zabuza looked down at him with disdain.

wow-

It turned into a puddle of water once again.

boom--

Kakashi swung his hand back at the tree trunk.

However, by the time he passed through the tree trunk and through Zabuza behind it, it was too late.

Because the tree trunk that is not cut down is also a water clone.

Zabuza's attack had already arrived.

thump—

With a powerful kick, Kakashi was sent flying.

Zabuza pressed his advantage, first firing several kunai, then his figure darted behind Kakashi like a ghost.

It's confirmed, this is the main body!

Kakashi used Chidori to deflect several incoming kunai.

He dismissed the Thousand Birds and quickly formed hand seals.

boom--

Shadow Clone Technique!

Then, he stepped on the shadow clone and fell into the water.

The shadow clone was pierced through the body by Zabuza.

With a bang, the shadow clone, a chakra powerhouse, vanished.

Seeing Kakashi hiding underwater, waiting for an opportunity to strike, Zabuza narrowed his eyes.

But he said it with a mocking tone:

"Are you planning to spend your whole life underwater?"

"The idea is good, and it can indeed limit me, but water can also limit you."

"Have you forgotten? I'm a Mist Ninja!"

Kakashi sensed something was wrong and quickly surfaced.

But it was too late.

He knelt on the water, water dripping from his hair.

Why does it feel so heavy?

"water?!"

Kakashi looked at his reflection in the water with a look of horror.

"Masaka?!"

The next instant, Kakashi's reflection in the water changed, revealing a face with a cold smile and a mocking expression.

It is Zabuza.

"Is this the famous Sharingan, the bloodline limit of Konoha?"

Kakashi, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't have time to react. He felt his whole body being suppressed by the heavy water, and he couldn't resist at all.

Crash—!!!

In an instant, countless heavy waters rushed towards Kakashi, trapping him.

A circular cage formed of heavy water appeared.

Zabuza also climbed out of the water and formed a hand seal with one hand.

"You really can copy everything, even my tactics for entering the water."

"Unfortunately, it seems you copied it a little too late."

"Water Release!"

"The Water Prison Technique!"

Kakashi's face was deathly pale.

He lost!

We lost because of insufficient preparation and lack of experience.

Damn it! Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, run!
