Multi-Anime, I Stand on the Front Line of Popularity Supremacy

"In that case—"

Zabuza began to form hand seals.

"Wait, that seal is... Water Dragon Bullet Technique?!"

Kakashi prepared to enter the fray.

However, at that very moment, an ice spike suddenly formed from thin air.

"Secret Technique: Thousand Killing Water Flight."

"Damn it! Another comrade?"

The ice shards shooting towards him forced Kakashi to defend.

"Hmm? It's not aiming for a vital spot?!"

Strange.

Kakashi could tell at a glance that while these ice shards were attacks, they could only be considered a distraction. This sudden attacker had no intention of killing.

A masked boy appeared before Kakashi.

Kakashi could handle the opponent, but he couldn't stop Zabuza.

Zabuza's objective was also clear: to defeat Sparkle while the other party held him off.

"Quick, stop Zabuza! That's the Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" Kakashi activated his Sharingan.

Now, he had to race against time.

Meanwhile, Sparkle also charged forward almost immediately.

Her entire body transformed into a fierce blaze of fire.

Mai Shiranui's "ultimate move," Chō Hissatsu Shinobi Bachi.

Oh, in this world, it should be called Fire Style: Chō Hissatsu Shinobi Bachi.

"It's a trap!" Zabuza stopped forming hand seals.

He wasn't that foolish.

The Water Dragon Bullet was indeed powerful, but it also consumed his own energy.

He was forming those 44 seals for the extremely long ninjutsu precisely to force the opponent to interrupt him.

"You fell for it, brat!"

Sparkle collided with Zabuza, but Zabuza turned into water, a Water Clone Jutsu.

Zabuza then appeared behind Sparkle.

But Sparkle wasn't flustered. The steel wires she shot out pinned to the ground, forcefully stopping Sparkle's forward momentum. Sparkle spun around and delivered a sliding kick to Zabuza.

"Dance of the Crimson Crane!"

As Zabuza intercepted her, Sparkle used the ground as support, and her other leg swept upwards from below, kicking towards Zabuza's head.

"Crack!"

Zabuza actually caught Sparkle's foot directly with his hand.

She was just a twelve-year-old kid. As long as her body was restrained, then—

"—?!"

The immense strength actually numbed Zabuza's hand.

"This kid has so much strength?!"

[LOL, he totally fell for it]

[Wife's move is so prpr]

[I want to see my wife's doujinshi now, right now, immediately]

[Lady Sparkle, kick me, kick me!]

The netizens were still going wild.

Sparkle had already adjusted her posture.

She had discovered the best use for this "ODM Gear."

It wasn't for three-dimensional movement, but for using the steel wires and ropes to allow herself to constantly correct her posture during combat, facing the enemy in the optimal stance.

It was like someone who could never be knocked down by a sliding kick. Being able to maintain balance could sometimes put one in an invincible position.

"I was careless!" Zabuza, for example, was currently off-balance.

Sparkle seized the opportunity to close in, already unleashing a palm strike.

"Her combat experience is still too shallow. I can use her momentum to adjust my posture."

A palm strike, compared to a fist or ninja tools, had very low lethality.

Zabuza decided to take it head-on.

However, this palm strike landed on Zabuza, but it had almost no force.

Zabuza: ???

Then, the attacks came like a storm, striking his body.

This was Hanabi Hyuga's true family technique.

—Gentle Fist Style: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.

Author's Note:

Actually, many niche works are quite interesting. Even Yona of the Dawn, MUV, and Arpeggio of Blue Steel are pretty good. There's also the even older Five Star Stories, the Fatima setting is just too amazing.

But they aren't very suitable for appearances in anime series, TV dramas, or movies.

Chapter 49: Burn Kirigakure to Ashes!

Zabuza had actually made thorough preparations.

Since relying on himself alone wasn't enough, he found someone else.

—Haku.

An orphan picked up by Zabuza, a genius youth with the Ice Style Kekkei Genkai.

He couldn't deal with Kakashi, but as long as he could buy himself some time, that would be enough.

What the original plan was no longer mattered. Enraged, Zabuza intended to teach these arrogant brats from Konoha a lesson.

It had an effect.

Kakashi was temporarily tied down to protect Tazuna.

And he just needed to deal with this detestable brat in front of him during this time.

That was the original plan.

That was how it was supposed to be.

"Chakra... I can't mobilize it..."

What's going on?

His body was sealed.

"You bastard, you bastard...! You're from the Hyuga clan!"

"Bang!"

Hanabi's final blow sent Zabuza crashing into a tree.

Upon seeing Zabuza defeated, Haku stopped his entanglement and immediately went to Zabuza's side.

"A ninja's battle is a battle of information," Kakashi also breathed a sigh of relief. "Even someone like the Demon of the Hidden Mist, Zabuza Momochi, can be ambushed when lacking information."

"Kakashi with the Sharingan, and then the Byakugan..." Zabuza touched his chest.

He was strong.

But even the strongest ninja would have great difficulty fighting effectively when their chakra was sealed.

"What's happening, what just happened?" Naruto was still out of it.

"Hanabi used the Gentle Fist to seal Zabuza's chakra. Zabuza can no longer mobilize his chakra now," Kakashi explained, though he was also very shocked. "The Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist needs to be combined with the Byakugan to unleash its full power. For Hanabi to be able to seal Zabuza's chakra without the Byakugan, just how much of a genius is she..."

Hanabi smiled elegantly, "I'm very sorry. Although I am from the Hyuga clan, I don't have the Byakugan."

—Actually, she did, but it couldn't be revealed yet.

"How is that possible? Without the Byakugan, how could you seal the pressure points?" Zabuza didn't believe it.

"As long as one's perception is strong enough, even without the Byakugan, one can still sense the flow of chakra within the enemy's body. Is that so difficult?"

[Who says you can't stab someone without a sharp point?]

[Damn, so Hanabi's trump card is pressure point striking?]

[Ninja version of "Sunflower Acupuncture Hand"?]

[So the purpose of the Byakugan is actually to see through the meridians?]

[Chakra also has meridians]

[So chakra is internal energy]

[It's still different, chakra can be used as needed, more like stamina]

[The starting stance just now looked a bit like Wing Chun]

[Stop saying Wing Chun for everything just because you watched Ip Man, it's annoying when people bring up Wing Chun for every hand-to-hand combat, can you guys stop?]

[So, my wife is truly heaven-defying, she can still use her exclusive techniques without that Byakugan]

[Isn't that simple? If I memorize all the meridians of the human body in the real world, I can also strike pressure points]

[Why don't you fly up to the sky?]

The netizens continued to bicker.

If one could find the pressure points and then seal or sever them with the Gentle Fist, it was actually possible.

For instance, Haku from the original work could use senbon to find Zabuza's pressure points and induce a fake death.

Of course, this "finding" was limited to theory.

It was like programming: theoretically, if you understood machine code, you could directly write characters like "010101" instead of things like "else, if, or" and still program.

But that was just theory.

Here, half of it was Sparkle playing up her genius persona, and the other half was setting up a plot point.

"I am truly sorry, Lord Zabuza. It's all my fault," Haku blamed herself.

"I was outmaneuvered by this brat."

Zabuza was temporarily out of commission, so he couldn't do anything at the moment.

The current situation was rather dire.

"Do we have to retreat?" Zabuza pondered.

"I'm afraid not, Zabuza. You won't be leaving so easily."

Kakashi also walked over.

After Haku appeared, Kakashi had relaxed a bit.

—Yes, Kakashi had assumed Sparkle wanted him to be wary of Haku.

"Teacher Kakashi, now is not the time to relax. Have you really decided to keep them here?" Sparkle asked.

"Ah, of course. If we let them escape now, it'll be much harder next time. Your Gentle Fist might only work once for a surprise attack; the second time, Zabuza will be prepared."

Zabuza was indeed strong, but he never expected to encounter this situation. With one party planning and the other caught off guard, overturning was inevitable.
