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

"Heh, Kakashi."

"Even if you can beat me, you can't beat Bai."

It is basically consistent with the original work.

Naruto carried Sakura to the base of a large tree and started a fire to boil water.

Dazner is still working hard to move his luggage over.

"You haven't had breakfast yet, don't worry, you'll recover after you eat."

Sakura rolled her eyes, closed them, and fell straight onto Naruto.

Naruto rolled his eyes and ignored her.

He continued to look at Zabuza and Kakashi.

Do you think Zabuza is bragging?

No, Zabuza knows Haku's level better than they do.

Naruto sent him flying with a single, brute-force punch.

This is enough to show that the so-called killing machine is nothing but a deceptive facade.

Why did Zabuza say such a thing at this time?

Was it to scare Kakashi and distract him?

No, even if Zabuza is arrogant, a top-tier ninja can tell his level once they've fought him.

At this point, Kakashi, though not yet using his full strength, already knew that he had no advantage whatsoever.

He was just bluffing, leaving Bai a way out.

Unfortunately, this isn't the original story. In the original story, the pink-haired girl was the first one to be fooled.

Kakashi could tell what was happening behind him just by listening to the noise.

And there's also Naruto, who hasn't made a move yet.

How could he possibly be fooled?

Especially the next moment, Zabuza exposed himself.

Bai did not use his bloodline limit during his battle with Erzhuzi.

They were at a disadvantage.

Zabuza couldn't help but turn around and throw a few steel needles.

Erzhuzi then stopped what he considered to be a perfect offensive rhythm.

He turned and used a kunai to intercept the incoming steel needles.

"Bai! What are you waiting for?!"

Kakashi stopped what he was doing and looked calmly at Zabuza.

Zabuza turned around and saw that Zabuza was still sneering.

"Next, you will witness the child's true power."

Bai also stopped his pointless attacks.

"To be honest, I didn't want to kill anyone."

"But, for Zabuza-san, I can abandon my feelings at any time. You are strong and agile. I hope you can keep up with my speed next time."

Erzhuzi smiled but didn't say anything.

Bai made a hand seal with one hand.

Erzhuzi's pupils constricted slightly as he formed a hand seal with one hand.

A bad feeling began to grow in my heart.

Impossible! He has no chance of turning the tide in front of my eyes!

"Secret Technique: Thousand Kill Water Flight"

Bai finished speaking.

slam-la-

The river water beneath Bai's feet transformed into countless ice crystals, densely packed together.

Erzhuzi felt a chill run down his spine.

"hateful!"

But it's not over yet.

While Erzhuzi was busy working on the Ice Crystal Thousand Books, Bai formed another hand seal.

"Secret Technique: Magic Mirror Ice Crystal"

hum-

Dozens of mirror-like surfaces made of ice crystals floated on the water's surface, surrounding the two pillars in the very center.

"The limit of blood inheritance?"

"not good!"

Kakashi exclaimed, "Naruto!"

Naruto waved his hand, "Don't worry, Sasuke isn't that fragile. It's good for him to experience some hardship."

Naruto didn't take Haku's strength seriously.

He was defeated in one move by just a burst of Nine-Tails chakra.

During the Chunin Exams, Neji was able to exchange a few blows with him.

Bai was never a genius.

It was simply love for Zabuza.

His bloodline limit is just so-so. From the very beginning, Zabuza never intended to train him as a tool.

Erzhuzi quickly found himself in a fierce battle.

Seeing that Naruto remained unmoved, Kakashi on the other side also stopped hesitating.

"Raikiri!"

The moment Zabuza saw Chidori's transformed form and its Raikiri, he knew he had no chance of winning.

At that moment, Bai's movements slowed down.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

boom--

Two Pillars' fire technique worked, burning the hem of Bai's skirt.

Zabuza's chakra was completely depleted at this moment.

At this moment, Erzhuzi, who still had some nutrients remaining in his body, unleashed his power.

The fire-style attacks, regardless of cost, made it difficult for the distracted Haku to maintain his focus.

click-

An ice crystal mirror shattered.

Immediately following, countless ice crystal mirrors shattered.

"I see you!"

Erzhuzi leaped forward and kicked out.

White hands blocked the way, but the decline was already evident.

He was kicked away by Erzhuzi with all his might, and also smashed the last ice crystal mirror.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zabuza, I can't beat him."

After all, Sasuke had been trained by Naruto for two months and didn't have to worry about running out of chakra.

Their strength is certainly no weaker than that of the original work.

In particular, the endless supply of chakra transformed Sasuke into a human flamethrower.

This kind of wide-ranging attack was a fatal blow to Bai, who was already distracted.

As for why Sasuke didn't use the immature Chidori to pierce Haku's body, it was also because Naruto secretly instructed him.

He possesses the seed of the Nine-Tails' chakra, and Naruto's instruction to him was merely a matter of will.

He watched as Bai stumbled and staggered toward him.

Zabuza closed his eyes.

"That's enough, no need to push anymore."

"We have lost, and lost completely."

"I'm sorry, Zabuza-san, it's all my fault for being so useless..."

"It has nothing to do with you. You're just a tool to me. Whether a tool is powerful or not depends on... you, kid."

Zabuza was about to continue speaking when Naruto suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Let's continue the mission, Kakashi-sensei."

"I'm going there, I'll be right back."

After saying that, Naruto turned his back to Kakashi.

His azure eyes instantly activated the three-tomoe Sharingan.

Haku and Zabuza's eyes widened instantly, but the next moment, Naruto's eyes darted around and transformed into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

Tsukuyomi.

hum-

The two of them fainted instantly.

No matter what happens in the illusionary world, only a second has passed in the outside world.

"Naruto!"

"be safe."

Kakashi reached out his hand, but ultimately changed the words he was about to say.

Naruto nodded slightly, picked one up in each hand, and vanished in an instant.

In the instant he turned around, he withdrew his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

Give Zabuza and Haku a wicked illusion.

These two are useful, and they are not necessarily deadly.

Isn't Zabuza missing a key?

I'll give it to you.

Isn't Bai a genius?

I'll make you a genius who can succeed through hard work.

After leaving, Naruto's spirit entered the sealed space and looked at the Nine-Tails' true form.

"Kurama, come to the Land of Waves, there's work for you!"

After a long while, Kurama opened its eyes with great displeasure.

"You'd better be busy!"

"Money, countless assets, more than enough to build a country. Bring plenty of storage scrolls and hurry up."

"They're here!"

When Nine-Tails heard the word "money," its ears perked up dramatically.

After confirming the location, I immediately lay down, and my main spirit returned to my physical body in the outside world.

That greedy fox!

Outside, Kurama slowly opened its eyes.

Upon regaining its senses, its eyes instantly changed.

From the iconic fox eyes to—(✧◡✧)

"Make money! Make money!!"

Meanwhile, on Naruto's side...

The white mask has been removed.

She revealed a face even more delicate than a girl's.

She wore very feminine, light makeup, and looked even better than her current pink-haired self.

A slight smile appeared on his lips as he gradually regained consciousness.

Zabuza kept his eyes tightly closed.

But his rapid breathing betrayed his state of mind, and tears still lingered in the corners of his eyes.

"Thank you."

Bai said softly.

Naruto: Look, he's about to become a part-time worker, and he's even thanking us.
