Kakashi's Flying Thunder God

"Bang!"

The sound interrupted Naruto and the others' conversation. They looked in the direction of the sound. When the dust settled, they saw Zabuza supporting himself on his knees with his sword, a trace of red liquid at the corner of his mouth.

"Cough cough."

Zabuza hold back his coughing; only when he coughed did the pain in his body lessen.

Kakashi stood five meters away from Zabuza, quietly watching Zabuza.

"Kakashi, you are not a qualified ninja!"

Zabuza stood up and said to Kakashi, "Kakashi didn't press his advantage when Zabuza was at his weakest. Instead, he waited for Zabuza to recover. In Zabuza's eyes, this was the behavior of a substandard ninja."

"I just feel that even if you're given time to recover, what difference will it make?"

Kakashi's words revealed absolute confidence in his own strength.

"That damned Kakashi!"

Zabuza hearing Kakashi's words and seeing Kakashi's sour expression, Zabuza's anger erupted like a volcano, becoming uncontrollable. For the Zabuza felt that a ninja like Kakashi shouldn't exist in this world.

However, Kakashi's strength also Zabuza. As the wielder of the Kubikiribōchō, Zabuza was well aware of Kubikiribōchō hardness, but now there was a crack on Kubikiribōchō —a result of parrying Kakashi's attack. If Zabuza hadn't reacted quickly enough to block Kakashi's punch with the Kubikiribōchō, he Zabuza probably be a corpse by now. This Zabuza had come so close to death.

Zabuza's mind raced as he tried to figure out how to break the deadlock. He didn't want to die in Konoha; he hadn't lived enough. After all, nobody wants to die.

Suddenly Zabuza glanced around and thought, "If I can't handle Kakashi, can't I handle you guys?" Zabuza placed his hopes for breaking the deadlock on Naruto and Sasuke.

"Kakashi, I admit you're strong, but if I fight back, you won't have an easy time either. How about you spare my life?"

Zabuza wanted to buy time. Although Kakashi's attack didn't directly hit him, its terrifying force had Zabuza. Zabuza needed to recover, as he only had one chance. If he failed, his chances of survival would be even slimmer.

"Oh? Do you think that's possible?"

"Just surrender obediently, Zabuza, and you might still live."

"Alive? Hahaha, Kakashi, do you think I'd believe that? If you catch me, all I'll get is endless prison."

"Then, after you've squeezed all the usefulness out of me, I won't be far from death."

As a former member of the Mist assassination squad, Zabuza was well aware of the dark side of ninjas. Zabuza would not entrust his fate to others.

"I, Zabuza and live a life of ignominy."

After saying that Zabuza his foot hard. His speed increased by a whole level, like a bullet fired from a pistol, making him even faster than when he fought Kakashi earlier.

Kakashi was on high alert, waiting for Zabuza's attack, but a strange thing happened. When Chakra was halfway there, Zabuza and his chakra exploded. With a "boom," his two feet formed afterimages, and his speed increased again. Moreover, when the Chakra exploded, Zabuza also released a water clone to block Kakashi and buy himself time.

"What happened?"

This was the collective thought in Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura's minds. Zabuza's performance just now had left a deep impression on them; they all thought Zabuza have a showdown with Kakashi-sensei, but they never expected Zabuza to turn his attention to them.

If Zabuza knew what the three were thinking, he would definitely scoff. A ninja must survive by any means necessary; only by surviving can one have a chance. Fundamentally, this is the result of the different educational methods of Konoha and Mist Village.

"Your opponent is me."

Zabuza's water clone, seeing Kakashi trying to stop Zabuza, blocked Kakashi way. Although the water clone was only half Zabuza's strength, if it could delay Kakashi for even a few seconds, Zabuza's opportunity would succeed.

"Hahaha, prepare to die, you little devils!"

Zabuza laughed wildly. He saw a glimmer of hope. If he could capture one of the three brats, Zabuza would have a Zabuza. Knowing Kakashi as he did, he was sure Kakashi would let him leave Konoha.

"Bite."

Zabuza stared wide-eyed at Kakashi, who had suddenly appeared in front of him, his mind unable to process it for a moment.

How did Kakashi get here?

This question filled Zabuza's mind. His water clone was completely unharmed, while Kakashi had blocked his attack.

"Kakashi-sensei."

Naruto and his two companions were also completely bewildered. Naruto and Sasuke had originally prepared to fight Zabuza. After their last battle, Naruto and Sasuke fully recognized their shortcomings and trained even harder after returning to the village, all in an effort to avenge their defeat. Now, the opportunity was right in front of them, but Kakashi-sensei had snatched it away. This made Naruto and Sasuke feel like they had punched thin air.

"Kakashi, it seems I underestimated you!"

Zabuza felt that the more he fought Kakashi, the more trump Kakashi revealed, while he himself had no more trump cards left.

"It seems my journey has come to an end."

Zabuza thought to himself.

Kakashi was able to arrive so quickly and Zabuza because of the "Flying Thunder God." When Zabuza blocked Kakashi's fatal blow with the Kubikiribōchō, Kakashi left the "Flying Thunder God" mark on the Kubikiribōchō.

"Kakashi-sensei, just how many things are you hiding from us?!"

Sasuke watched Kakashi's retreating figure and said, "Sasuke The longer I spend with Kakashi, the less I understand his true strength. It's because Kakashi always seems to use some new techniques."

"Go for it, Kakashi-sensei!"

Naruto was quite competent as the atmosphere-setter. Even when Kakashi stole his spotlight, he still cheered Kakashi on as always.

Sakura breathed a sigh of relief. When Zabuza charged at her, Sakura was so terrified she Zabuza. In that moment, Sakura felt death was so close. It wasn't until Kakashi appeared that Sakura recovered. But when Sakura looked at Naruto Sasuke, she felt ashamed. Naruto and Sasuke had stood in front of her to face Zabuza.

"I definitely won't mess up next time."

Sakura said firmly in her heart that she also wanted to become stronger and protect her comrades, just like Naruto and Sasuke.
