Fighting for His Life

Even though Zabuza of great experience, this was the first time he had ever seen such a move.

However, Zabuza didn't have time to stand there dumbfounded. He dodged Kakashi's "Chakra Circle Slash" with a quick movement and didn't forget to taunt Kakashi.

"Kakashi, are you kidding me? Is this all you've got?"

Not only Zabuza, but also the three main members of the Bronze Saints and the Anbu hiding in the shadows were puzzled. Logically speaking, Kakashi's special move should not have been dodged so easily.

At that moment, something astonishing happened. Kakashi's "Chakra Circle Slash" spun in mid-air and flew towards Zabuza's head.

Zabuza felt a chill run down his spine. He instinctively tilted his head, and a lock of hair was severed.

Zabuza's pupils dilated as he stared incredulously at the Chakra Blade floating in front of Kakashi.

"This, this..."

This shattered Zabuza's previous worldview; the techniques he unleashed could actually be retracted.

"Sasuke, am I dreaming?"

"Smack."

Sasuke slapped Naruto across the face.

"Ouch! Sasuke, what are you doing?"

"It seems you weren't dreaming; you can still feel the pain."

Coming to his senses, Naruto looked at Kakashi and said...

"Wow, that's so cool! I definitely need to learn that move."

Naruto's eyes were shining.

Even Sasuke didn't refute Naruto at this moment, after all, he had the same thought in his heart.

"Zabuza, how about this move?"

Kakashi is a master at slapping people in the face now! Zabuza was just laughing at him, but now he's completely speechless.

Kakashi waved his hand, and the "Chakra Circle Slash" flew towards Zabuza, its speed increasing visibly.

Zabuza could only dodge Kakashi's attacks by constantly moving around. He Zabuza to interrupt Kakashi's techniques with Ninjutsu, but each attempt failed. His Water Dragon Bullet was sliced in two, his Hidden Mist Technique was dispersed by the high-speed spin of the Chakra Circle Slash, and Zabuza had no time to use other Ninjutsu— it was all too fast. Zabuza had been fighting at a high intensity, and the aftereffects of using Ninjutsu that pushed his body's potential were Zabuza to show. Veins Zabuza his face, cold sweat poured down his forehead, and he even started panting—a fatal sign for a ninja. It indicated that his strength had declined and he was no longer at his peak.

Zabuza now realized that continuing to hide would likely stall him. He Zabuza thought Kakashi's Chakra expenditure from such a technique would be far greater than his own, as Kakashi's Chakra usage would be several times higher to maintain control and keep chasing him. Zabuza planned to wait for Kakashi to tire and then launch a surprise counterattack, potentially allowing him to escape Konoha alive. However, reality Zabuza the face; Kakashi remained completely unfazed, acting as if nothing had happened. This thwarted Zabuza's plan.

Now, Zabuza faces only one path: to attack, a final attempt, for it is all or nothing.

"Kakashi, prepare to die!"

After Zabuza the "Chakra Divine Slash," Zabuza charged at Kakashi with both hands, Zabuza to create a time gap so that he could kill Kakashi before the "Chakra Divine Slash" returned.

Zabuza observed very carefully. When Kakashi used this technique, his body didn't move an inch. At most, his fingers controlled the movement of the technique. In Zabuza's eyes, this meant that Kakashi's body couldn't move while using this technique. Only in this way could he stably supply Chakra to the "Chakra Circle Slash".

"Oh no! Kakashi-sensei is in danger?"

At that moment Sasuke shouted. As an observer, Sasuke had also thought of what Zabuza had Zabuza of.

"What? Hasn't Kakashi-sensei always had the upper hand?"

Naruto looked puzzled. Sasuke then explained his understanding to Naruto and Sakura.

"Then let's go and support Kakashi-sensei!"

After saying Naruto was about to go and provide support, but Sasuke stopped him.

"Don't go. With our strength, going forward will only cause trouble for Kakashi-sensei."

Sasuke felt bitter when he said those words; Sasuke had hated his own weakness more than once.

However, things often take unexpected turns. Kakashi dodged Zabuza's greatsword by Zabuza. Seeing his attack fail, Zabuza turned his blade to the side. Kakashi leaped, like a white crane spreading its wings, and landed steadily on Zabuza's Kubikiribōchō. Zabuza felt the blade in his hand suddenly become heavier. Zabuza had been waiting for this moment; Zabuza a hand seal with one hand.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique"

It instantly enveloped Kakashi.

Zabuza's lips curled up, because he saw that Kakashi hadn't dodged his Great Fireball; he remained inside Great Fireball.

"Kakashi-sensei" x3

It wasn't just Zabuza who saw it; the three main characters also witnessed it.

The captain of the Anbu immediately stood up, wanting to rescue Kakashi. But just as he was about to take action, he witnessed something that shocked him.

Kakashi slowly emerged from the Great Fireball Technique; yes, he wasn't mistaken, he emerged.

Kakashi walked from the hilt of the Greatsword to the hilt of the Kubikiribōchō's Blade, looking down at Zabuza.

"Your tactics are good; anyone else might have fallen for your trap. Unfortunately for you, you ran into me."

"You..."

Zabuza was surprised that Kakashi had broken through his killing move so easily.

Kakashi enveloped himself with a massive amount of Chakra, Zabuza's Great Fireball couldn't even burn through Kakashi's Chakra shield, let alone injure Kakashi. Kakashi originally intended to use this technique when fighting Karot, but he used it prematurely here.

"As expected of Lord Kakashi!"

The squad leader of the Anbu remarked with emotion, "Kakashi is my idol. He has that idol aura."

"Kakashi-sensei is amazing!" x3

"Go on."

Kakashi raised his foot and kicked towards Zabuza's face. The saying goes, "Don't hit someone in the face," but Kakashi did the opposite.

This behavior deeply insulted Zabuza. Seeing Kakashi's massive foot getting closer and closer, Zabuza his Kubikiribōchō. Kakashi and the Kubikiribōchō flew through the air. Kakashi's foot caught on the Kubikiribōchō, and just as they were about to crash into a house, Kakashi kicked the Kubikiribōchō for leverage. After a spin, he landed on the ground, while the Kubikiribōchō pierced straight into the house.

"Boom."

The building subsequently collapsed.
