"Pfft!"
The muffled sound of piercing flesh and blood finally came. Faced with Kakashi's brutal thrust, Zabuza, who suffered successive interference and blows, could not completely avoid it.
However, Kakashi and Kunai still failed to pierce his heart despite dodging, but pierced under his shoulder and collarbone!
This time, what splashed out was no longer clear water, but warm and red blood! The severe pain made Zabuza's face twitch uncontrollably and his brows furrowed tightly.
no! If you are injured, your movements will be affected! If you keep fighting like this, it is very likely that you will really fall here! The strong sense of crisis made Zabuza instantly want to retreat.
He immediately endured the severe pain and tried to use his long sword to push back Kakashi, who was close to him. At the same time, he gathered strength under his feet, preparing to immediately use the teleportation technique to escape from the battlefield.
However, the moment he exerted his strength——
A powerful force suddenly tightened from his limbs and torso! Bind him tightly in an instant!
The next moment, his whole body was violently pulled off the ground by this huge pulling force, and he flew backwards and forwards uncontrollably. Finally, with a "bang", he was firmly tied to a strong tree next to him, unable to move!
Wire?!
Zabuza's face changed suddenly! He suddenly reacted - it was those Shuriken who had turned strangely in the air and finally nailed themselves to the tree!
Those Shuriken are actually wrapped with extremely thin Chakra Threads! They didn't miss the target at all, but had already laid a trap!
He looked at the source of this cunning attack with shock and anger - it turned out to be the kid behind him who had been silent all this time?!
I saw that Uchiha Satsuki had already opened the scarlet pair of Sharingan at some point, locking him coldly.
She moved her hands dexterously, and even held an extra thread in her mouth.
Just now, when the terrifying murderous aura that was as real as Zabuza had accumulated from countless deadly fights filled the air, Satsuki for the first time truly felt what Jonin level pressure was.
Huge fear poured through her body like ice water, and her legs even trembled slightly involuntarily. It was a feeling of "death completely out of her control" and "suffocating"...
She was almost swallowed by this fear.
Until she clearly heard Zabuza's murderous declaration - "And that kid... No wonder you are willing to let him intervene in our battle. It seems that he is indeed qualified to be killed by me personally..."
He wants to kill Naruto!
These words instantly pierced all the fears in Satsuki's heart! For her, the possibility of losing Naruto is far more terrifying than death itself!
That threat and the fear that followed it completely inspired all the courage and strength in her body in a decisive way!
Absolutely... no!
To protect Naruto, she can overcome any fear.
"Damn it... don't even think about trapping me with something like this!"
Zabuza, who was tied to the tree trunk by Chakra Threads, roared angrily, his muscles all over his body suddenly tensed, and his brute force burst out, and he actually tried to break the thread by relying on pure physical strength!
Satsuki Seeing this, he immediately bit and fixed most of the silk threads controlled in his hands in his mouth. With both hands free, he started Hand Seals——Si-Wei-Shen-Hai-Wu-Yin! It's Uchiha Clan's most iconic feature Fire Release!
"Fire Release: High Fireball Technique!"
The moment Hand Seals was completed, blazing flames immediately spurted out from the mouth of Satsuki! But this flame spread rapidly along the Chakra Threads that wrapped around Zabuza! The target was trapped while running rapidly through the silk thread, and was about to swallow Zabuza!
However, just before the flames spread, and were about to touch Zabuza's body——
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Several extremely subtle but sharp sounds piercing the air suddenly sounded! Several thousand arrows flashing with cold light shot out from the tons of trees on the side, breaking Chakra Threads!
The thread broke at the sound! The flames that spread along the silk thread also lost their support, paused suddenly in the middle, and then dissipated.
No! Are they reinforcements from Zabuza?! Kakashi's heart is ringing with alarm bells!
At the moment when the silk thread fell off and Zabuza regained freedom, Kakashi did not hesitate at all, and his hands had already completed another seal! He took a deep breath and his chest swelled——
"Fire Release·Great Fireball Technique!"
A huge fireball, larger in scale and higher in temperature than Satsuki's, spewed out from Kakashi's mouth, blasting towards Zabuza who had just broken free from the restraints and was not yet stable!
Just as another blazing fireball was about to engulf Zabuza - a thick and solid ice wall appeared in front of Zabuza out of thin air!
"Boom!!!"
Kakashi's Fireball Jutsu hit the ice wall firmly. The high temperature collided violently with the ice, instantly producing a large amount of white water vapor, which diffused and further obscured the already thick fog.
"Ice Release?!"
Kakashi's Sharingan clearly captured the rapidly melting ice wall. I was shocked and immediately recognized this Kekkei Genkai.
In the midst of the diffuse water vapor and thick fog, a slender figure wearing a Kirigakure Anbu mask quickly supported the seriously injured Zabuza. The next moment, the two figures blurred as if they were melting into the mist——
Body Flicker Technique!
When the white water vapor and the surrounding thick fog gradually dissipated, the location where Zabuza was was already empty, leaving only the ice wall that was still dripping with water and melting rapidly, and a few drops of blood on the ground that had not yet dried.
Zabuza Momochi and his mysterious helping hand have completely disappeared.
After carefully confirming that Zabuza Momochi and his mysterious helper had indeed escaped, Kakashi's tense nerves finally relaxed. He turned around and glanced at his three subordinates.
He first affirmed the performance of the other two main combatants. Then, he looked at Sakura, who always stood at his post, and affirmed that Sakura also did a great job, abiding by his duties and protecting his client behind him.
Perhaps this time, Naruto and Satsuki were assisting, sharing most of the pressure. Kakashi did not faint due to exhaustion of chakra like in the previous work, but just felt a little tired.
On the way to Tazuna's house, in order to let the students fully understand the danger of their opponent, Kakashi introduced the origin of Zabuza Momochi to the three of them in detail.
Mist Village's escape is Jonin, Zabuza Momochi, nicknamed – 'Demon of the Hidden Mist'.
Known for his mastery of Silent Killing Technique, he is an extremely dangerous opponent. In his past, on the day of his graduation, he killed all the early graduates alone... This bloody incident directly led to the change of Mist Village's cruel graduation policy.
After listening to Kakashi's narration, Sakura's face was filled with fear. She had been secretly annoyed that she had not been able to directly participate in the battle just now, but now she really realized that the enemy they faced turned out to be such a terrifying and vicious figure.
Satsuki's heart was still filled with solemnity. Although the strength shown by Naruto may have surpassed her own, the more so, the protective desire in her heart became stronger.
As for Naruto, while listening to Kakashi's introduction, he was thinking about something completely different.
Zabuza Momochi, and Bai, he is thinking about what kind of words he should use next time he puts on [Menma]'s vest to recruit these two people...
Finally, there were no more accidents on the rest of the journey. A man arrived safely at the residence of Tazuna, his daughter and grandson.
