Multi-Anime, I Stand at the Forefront of Popularity Supremacy

But if Zabuza went all out… Kakashi felt Sparkle might not be able to handle him.

So letting Zabuza escape would likely lead to major problems next time.

"I won't hand Lord Zabuza over to you!"

Haku stepped forward.

Even though he knew he wasn't a match, even though he knew escape was impossible now, he still stood his ground.

"Be careful. This young man has the Ice Style Kekkei Genkai," Kakashi warned Sparkle.

"..." However, Sparkle fell silent at this moment.

"Sparkle?" Kakashi was a bit puzzled.

What was going on?

Hadn't the enemies already appeared? Why did Sparkle still look so strange?

"...It's here. That aura… it's here."

Sparkle seemed to have been on guard for something, and now, that aura had arrived.

"—It's here? What's here?"

Kakashi activated his Sharingan again, but his eyes held confusion.

"Could there be another change?" Sasuke also found Sparkle's behavior inexplicable. He saw Kakashi's Sharingan and wanted to ask Kakashi about it.

"Why is everyone so jumpy?" Naruto put on a mature act. But at that moment, Naruto suddenly shivered.

"Uwaaaah."

It was as if something dark had crawled up his spine, giving Naruto goosebumps all over.

"Naruto?!" — Was the Nine-Tails losing control?

No.

That wasn't it.

At that moment, Kakashi also felt something.

"What is this, such an extremely evil Chakra?!"

A power was approaching.

Getting closer and closer, ever closer.

"Fire Style."

Sparkle made a hand seal, and flames began to burn at her feet.

"Huh?!"

Kakashi looked down, and the ground beneath them had frozen over at some point.

The river was frozen.

The mist in the air was also frozen.

"Ice Style: Ancient Mirror Reflecting Divinity."

An ominous voice echoed.

Kakashi could no longer afford to deal with Zabuza and Haku in front of him. He immediately retreated a few steps and rushed to Naruto and Sasuke's side.

"Earth Style: Earth Wall!"

An earthen wall rose from the ground.

Almost immediately, a violent blizzard struck, a massive snowstorm, as if to freeze everything, carrying immense ice, slammed into the Earth Wall.

The earthen wall also seemed to turn into an ice wall at that moment.

"Get down—!!!"

Kakashi's earth wall couldn't hold. He could only tell Naruto and Sasuke to get down.

The next moment, the ice and snow destroyed the earth wall and crashed down with a roar. In an instant, the season, which was about to enter spring, felt like mid-winter.

Someone emerged from the ice and snow.

Kakashi froze.

He didn't move.

It was a woman.

A woman with seemingly long, blue-white hair.

She walked past him just like that.

Kakashi couldn't move because an indescribably violent and fierce killing intent emanated from her. This was to be expected; it was the aura of Jingliu, something Kakashi couldn't contend with.

As if sensing something, Naruto looked up.

Someone was approaching him.

It was—a pair of crimson eyes.

"The Nine-Tails Demon Fox... it's just a child... I didn't expect it to come here."

The other party spoke.

It seemed to be a woman.

But why was she constantly clutching her chest? She looked like she was in a lot of pain.

"Explode."

A voice called out, it was Sparkle.

And almost immediately after, the doll Sparkle had placed on the ground burst, its massive shockwave even dispersing the blizzard in an instant.

"Fire Style."

A sphere of flame appeared in Sparkle's hand, growing larger and larger.

"Flame Heaven."

Sparkle threw the fireball, and it detonated in mid-air. This was an application of the Rasengan's Fire Style transformation.

Following that, Kakashi finally broke free from the state of being suppressed by killing intent.

"Raikiri—!"

Kakashi charged forward, a Raikiri piercing the figure. However, the figure turned into ice crystals.

"Ice Clone...? Damn it!"

Kakashi turned his head.

A cloaked figure, seemingly female, had already arrived beside Zabuza and Haku. She even had the composure to pick up the Kubikiribōchō.

The massive blizzard was just a diversion.

A first-encounter kill.

Kakashi immediately realized that although the opponent's aura was astonishing, she wasn't actually that powerful. The person enveloped by that killing intent was actually the woman herself; she had merely... shared a bit of her pain.

He, like Zabuza, had fallen victim to a first-encounter kill!

"Don't pursue, Sparkle."

After the opponent left, Kakashi could only issue this command.

Another enemy had appeared, and this one was likely on the same level as Zabuza.

While not impossible to handle, it was still very dangerous.

"Yes, Teacher Kakashi."

Sparkle turned around, changed back into her kimono, and returned to everyone's side.

Of course, she couldn't pursue. If she continued, her current Shadow Clone Jutsu... would be exposed.

Meanwhile, Zabuza and Haku were also brought to safety by the mysterious woman.

"Thank you very much for your help." Haku was a good child and immediately bowed her head to thank the other party.

"Who are you? What is your objective?" Zabuza didn't let his guard down.

Ice Style.

This indicated that the other party was from the Yuki clan, likely Haku's "compatriot."

But her intentions were unclear, so she couldn't be considered a good person.

"Ah." The woman removed her hood, revealing ice-blue long hair and crimson eyes.

However, the audience didn't know this because the camera moved directly downwards and the next line of dialogue was completely obscured, leaving the audience unaware.

"You can call me... Kushina Yukiei."

Kushina, pronounced 'kushina,' had the exact same pronunciation as Uzumaki Kushina's 'Kushina.'

It was at this moment that the audience finally heard Kushina Yukiei's last words again.

"As for my objective... I will burn Kirigakure to ashes."

Chapter 50: A Brand New Character, A Brand New Story, Directed by Sparkle

Zabuza and his two companions had already departed, and the first attack faced by Team 7 upon arriving in the Land of Waves had finally come to an end.

However, their expressions were far from relaxed.

"That woman, she noticed the Nine-Tails..."

Kakashi covered his eye patch, his gaze flicking towards Naruto, who had yet to recover.

Tazuna was also sitting on the ground nearby, completely stunned by the earlier display of power.

And it wasn't just Tazuna who was still reeling.

The audience watching the screen had also been thoroughly shaken by the scene.

From their perspective, the woman who had suddenly appeared had not only saved Zabuza and his group but had also engaged in a conversation with Zabuza and Haku before the video concluded.

["Let's burn Konoha to ashes!"]

["Let's burn the pirates to ashes!"]

["Let's burn the Shinigami to ashes!"]

The last line caused many viewers to start making jokes.

But even more people were still astonished by the event.

Sparkle's plot design was "reasonable."

First, through the conversation with Zabuza, she introduced the story of the brutal and ruthless Kirigakure.

Then, she "censored" Zabuza's spotlight.

In Sparkle's plot design, Zabuza was no longer the primary antagonist, so he couldn't "steal the show."

Finally, she had the "true" antagonist appear to save the day at the end, and through a conversation with Zabuza, revealed their objective.

The fact that she looked at Naruto through what was supposedly an Ice Clone was also a foreshadowing designed by Sparkle.
