In the early morning, when everyone came to the bridge as usual, they immediately noticed something was wrong. Today's morning fog was unusually thick, and the cold and clammy fog pressed heavily on everyone's skin, making it very uncomfortable.
Kakashi's eyes instantly became solemn, and he immediately understood - this was definitely not a random weather phenomenon. It seems... that enemy who escaped has come again.
"It seems that guy is here." Kakashi's voice came through the thick fog, "Satsuki, Sakura, your mission is to protect the client! Naruto, be alert around and be ready to respond to attacks at any time!"
He quickly issued combat orders. Everyone immediately formed a defensive formation, with Sakura and Satsuki protecting Tazuna in the middle. Naruto is also concentrating, sensing any abnormal chakra fluctuations around him.
At this moment, Zabuza's murderous voice came from all directions, lingering in the thick fog.
"I've kept you waiting for so long, Kakashi... and that blond brat... I advise you not to waste your time anymore. This time, the old man is dead!"
The words fell——
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Several figures rushed out of the thick fog without warning! They all maintained the appearance of Zabuza, holding long knives in their hands, and launched a swift surprise attack towards the defense circle at an awkward angle!
"Do it!"
With Kakashi's order, the battle broke out instantly!
Naruto and Satsuki met the rushing "Zabuza". Naruto made a quick dive and accurately dodged a horizontal slash. Then he exerted force on his waist and abdomen and kicked out with a sharp "Konoha Whirlwind"!
"Bang!" A dull sound came, and "Zabuza", which was kicked in the chest, instantly collapsed into a puddle of clear water - it was literally a body of water.
Satsuki on the other side, with the assistance of Sharingan, saw through the trajectories of all attacks.
Easily and effortlessly, he turned sideways to avoid the incoming blade, and then activated Body Flicker Technique in an instant. The figure appeared behind the other water body like a flash of light. The Kunai in his hand drew an icy arc, accurately wiping the "enemy's" neck. Another body of water responded and turned into clear water.
"I'm not afraid anymore."
Satsuki whispered to himself, Sharingan's light flashed with determination. Compared to the pain that is more terrifying than death... this level of murderous intent is nothing to be afraid of!
At the moment when Naruto and Taijutsu quickly cleared away several other water bodies, Satsuki and Sharingan suddenly caught a few extremely fine and almost imperceptible reflections in the fog at the side and rear!
She flicked her wrist, and several Shuriken shot out of her hand, shooting in that direction with a sharp sound of breaking through the air!
"Ding ding ding——!"
Several crisp metal collisions sounded! Several thin needles originally shot at Sakura and Tazuna were intercepted and shot down by Shuriken accurately thrown by Satsuki in mid-air.
"They are really two difficult brats, Bai. It seems that your opponent has appeared."
In the thick fog, Zabuza's voice sounded again, and then, two figures slowly walked out of the extremely low visibility fog and clearly appeared in front of everyone - it was Zabuza Momochi who had recovered from his injuries and became more murderous, and the silent young man beside him who was wearing a Kirigakure Anbu mask.
Kakashi's eyes were instantly locked on the masked boy. The one who used Ice Release to rescue Zabuza that day... was he the one?
"Is that the reinforcement you found, Zabuza?" Kakashi said in his unique, lazy and sarcastic tone, "He's actually wearing a mask... I've always hated this kind of pretentious guy."
Naruto saw Bai's figure and immediately asked for a fight. "Kakashi-sensei, let me deal with that guy in the mask! He looks strong."
Bai quietly looked at Naruto, whom he had met a few mornings ago, and the voice under the mask was still gentle. "I see... Is he the one who caused Mr. Zabuza to suffer a big loss?"
"You should be ready, Bai." Zabuza ordered, "Go, don't underestimate the enemy."
"Yes, Mr. Zabuza." Bai nodded slightly respectfully.
The next second, Bai's figure disappeared from the place without any warning! When he reappeared, Body Flicker Technique was directly in front of Naruto!
So fast! Even Kakashi couldn't help but be surprised. This enemy, who looked only a few years older than Naruto, was so fast!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A series of crisp and rapid metal collision sounds broke out instantly! Naruto reacted extremely quickly, and the Kunai in his hand accurately blocked the Senbon in Bai Cong's hand.
Immediately afterwards, Bai twisted his body, broke away from the short-term weapon connection, and launched a continuous offensive against Naruto with a quick and smooth Taijutsu! However, Naruto's Taijutsu's foundation was equally solid, and with fists and feet, he actually defused and blocked Bai's attacks one by one!
Satsuki on the side saw this and immediately stepped forward to support without any hesitation! With both hands waving quickly, several Shurikens tied with transparent Chakra Threadss drew strange arcs, bypassing the fighting Narutos, and accurately attacked Bai's back!
Bai immediately sensed the threat from behind! Then he continued to block and parry Naruto's Taijutsu attack with one hand, and started a one-handed Hand Seals attack with incredible speed and flexibility with the other hand!
Seeing this scene, even Kakashi couldn't help but scream in shock. "It turned out to be a one-handed Hand Seals?! This kind of technique... I have never seen it with my own eyes..."
Then my dad really hid it well enough... Hearing Kakashi's exclamation, Naruto couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Just before Satsuki's Shuriken was about to hit Bai, a thick and hard ice mirror instantly condensed and formed behind Bai! "Doo doo doo!" Shuriken were all blocked by the ice mirror and embedded in the ice.
"Lightning Release·Thunder!"
Satsuki didn't pause at all. He firmly grasped the Chakra Threads connected to Shuriken with both hands and quickly completed the Lightning Release seal! The next moment, the violent and horrifying electric current visible to the naked eye was rapidly conducted along the transparent Chakra Threads!
"Boom——!!!"
The dazzling lightning struck hard on the ice mirror! The hard ice mirror could not withstand such a violent lightning strike and was instantly blown to pieces, with ice shards flying everywhere!
Bai sensed the crisis and calmly started Hand Seals with one hand again.
And at the moment when the ice mirror exploded, the figure of Satsuki suddenly appeared behind him as if teleporting! The Kunai in his hand was condensed with cold killing intent, and it stabbed towards Bai's back heart without mercy!
However, Haku's next ninjutsu, Yusuke, completes the seal. "Secret Technique·Thousand Killing Water Needles."
