Kakashi Breaks Free

"Oh no!"

Naruto and Sasuke looked extremely grim as Zabuza approached with Zabuza sword drawn. Their high hopes for Kakashi had been so easily captured.

However, they both had ninja experience passed down from their parents, unlike Sakura, a commoner who just stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

Sasuke struck first, reaching for his waist and twisting his body in a flash. A dozen Shuriken Zabuza out in three directions towards Zabuza. Zabuza them with his Kubikiribōchō, but the speed was not diminished at all. Zabuza only blocked the first wave, but the remaining two waves of Shuriken continued unabated. The Uchiha Clan's Shuriken -throwing technique was renowned throughout the Ninja World.

Just when Sasuke thought his attack had worked, Zabuza suddenly increased his speed, and the Shuriken target.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique."

This Ninjutsu is perfect for Naruto, whose abundant Chakra is inexhaustible, not to mention the Nine-Tails within him. That's why Minato passed this Ninjutsu on to Naruto early on.

"Attack together!"

Naruto shouted, and dozens of Naruto Zabuza towards Zabuza, creating a very lively scene.

"Is this really Naruto?"

Sakura was shocked by Naruto's performance. Although Naruto was usually a boisterous character at school, he hadn't used Ninjutsu since Minato's instructions. Seeing her comrades fighting while she could only watch helplessly, Sakura felt terrible. She secretly vowed to train hard so that she could use it next time.

"Boring."

Zabuza, his hand movements swift and efficient, aiming to eliminate each opponent with a single strike. The sounds of "thump, thump, thump" became the dominant melody on the battlefield, and as Naruto's Naruto dwindled, the three began to panic.

"Kakashi, your student is about to die, and it's all your fault."

Zabuza spoke to Kakashi inside the water prison.

"Really? I don't think so."

"Hmph, watch closely. When I make my move, I'll make sure they suffer less."

As Mist's assassination squad, Zabuza's assassination skills Zabuza. Killing someone without any pain was effortless for him. However, Kakashi's attitude always cast a shadow over Zabuza's heart.

Zabuza confident that the three kids couldn't cause any real trouble, and with Kakashi trapped by him, the scales of victory were completely tipped in his favor. He couldn't find any reason for his defeat. Zabuza immediately dismissed this thought and focused on the task at hand. Even though they were just a group of students who hadn't graduated, Zabuza was prepared for anything.

"Karot, that's your brother, isn't he? He's got some tricks up his sleeve."

Kakuzu watched as Kakashi was so easily Zabuza, and knew that Kakashi must have some kind of plan. Kakuzu trust Kakashi, but rather believed that as Karot's younger brother Kakashi was not someone who could be dealt with so easily.

"They're just some petty tricks."

Karot disapproved of Kakashi's strategy of pretending to be weak to deceive others. He didn't know if it would backfire, and if it did, things would get interesting.

"You two really are brothers."

Kakuzu commented in this way.

"Naruto."

Zabuza finally dealt with all the Shadow Clone, and even Naruto's real body was Zabuza flying by Zabuza. Zabuza wouldn't let this opportunity pass, and Kubikiribōchō was about to cut Naruto in two,...

Sasuke shouted, his eyes turned red, and his movement speed increased as he blocked Zabuza's fatal blow with a kunai in his hand.

"Bite."

"Sasuke."

Naruto looked at his comrade who had shielded him from a fatal blow. Naruto and Sasuke had always disliked each other since they met, their relationship akin to oil and water, yet they both considered each other friends. This time, however, Sasuke had directly awakened his Sharingan for Naruto.

"The Sharingan?"

Zabuza muttered to himself

"But it doesn't work."

Zabuza force, Sasuke was immediately unable to withstand it. With his current strength, it was Zabuza against Zabuza.

Naruto caught Sasuke from behind, and both of them were sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground. However, Naruto's thick skin meant he was unharmed as a cushion.

Ouch.

Naruto rubbed his lower back and stood up.

"Sasuke, you're so heavy."

"You're still concerned about this now?"

Sasuke was defeated by Naruto, which clearly shows a lack of focus on the main issue. With a formidable enemy at hand, you're still talking about this. If he had a choice, Sasuke would definitely choose a different partner.

"Kids, it's time to end this."

Zabuza speaking than Naruto and Sasuke attacked first; they had only been putting on a show to lull the enemy into a false sense of security.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique"

Sasuke unleashed a fireball, and Naruto created a clone to attack immediately. Sasuke understood that the Great Fireball Jutsu was no match for Zabuza; his only goal was to buy time and obstruct Zabuza's vision, thus creating favorable conditions for Naruto's attack.

Naruto's clone, wielding a kunai, aimed at Zabuza's head, back, and every vulnerable spot on his body. But Zabuza as it was about to touch Zabuza, a powerful Chakra erupted from Zabuza, blowing Naruto flying.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Clouds of white mist appeared on the battlefield.

"Damn it!"

The strategy failed once again, leaving Naruto and Sasuke somewhat discouraged.

"Any other tricks up your sleeve?"

Zabuza seemed to thoroughly enjoy watching others fight their hardest only to fail.

"If we don't have any more, I'll send you all to your deaths."

Sensing the killing intent emanating from Zabuza, the four people present even found it difficult to breathe; this was the first time they had ever seen someone exude such intense killing intent.

Every step Zabuza felt like it was pounding on their hearts; their breathing became increasingly rapid, as if they were drowning and couldn't breathe.

This is the killing intent honed by Zabuza's many years of killing career. Against those weaker than him, he can suffocate them to death with his killing intent alone.

"What you're doing puts me in a very difficult position!"

Kakashi, sitting inside the water prison, spoke, and suddenly, ear-piercing lightning erupted from his hand. With a single punch, he shattered Zabuza's Water Prison Technique.

"What?"

Kakashi was incredulous that he could break Zabuza's water prison. It was the first time he had ever seen anyone use such a method.

Kakashi's speed didn't decrease, Zabuza's clone was doomed, instantly killed by the Lightning Blade.

"Kakashi-sensei." x2

Kakashi smiled at the two of them, then turned to look at Zabuza.

"Did you do this on purpose?"

Zabuza his teeth and said to Kakashi, even if he was stupid, he would understand that Kakashi was using him as a whetstone for his disciple.
