The Unexpected Ending

"Oh no, they've vandalized public property!"

Kakashi looked at the result he had caused and said with some regret.

"This is all Zabuza. You lot must testify for me!"

Kakashi turned to look at his three students, his eyes filled with a threatening gaze.

The three children immediately nodded vigorously to show they understood. They knew that if they disagreed, Kakashi would definitely make their lives miserable. After all, as students, they had witnessed Kakashi's ability to play pranks firsthand. However, what the three children didn't know was that Kakashi had personally experienced all of his pranks, which was why his memories of Kakashi were so vivid.

Kakashi didn't care about Zabuza. After all, who would believe a missing-nin from another village instead of Kakashi, an elite Jonin of Jonin Konoha!

Zabuza pulled a scroll from his robes, and with a "bang," the Executioner's Kubikiribōchō appeared in his hand. Kakashi wasn't surprised at Zabuza. Since Zabuza was able to wreak havoc in the Ninja World with the Kubikiribōchō, and Kirigakure hadn't retrieved it, Kakashi already knew that Zabuza must possess a scroll that could control the Kubikiribōchō.

"Brush."

Kakashi's "Chakra Circle Slash" flew right in front of Kakashi again.

Kakashi slowly walked towards Zabuza, but his Kakashi gesture didn't fail, leaving Zabuza puzzled.

"You don't think that using this move will prevent me from moving, do you?"

After saying that, Kakashi saw the astonishment on Zabuza's face Zabuza into laughter. "I just didn't want to move the original image; I was simply too lazy to do it."

Kakashi's words made Zabuza blush. That was why he had devised the attack plan just now, but in other people's eyes, he looked like a clown putting on a show.

Sasuke, standing nearby, also looked embarrassed, especially with Naruto staring at him as if to say, "You were wrong." Fortunately, Sasuke kept telling himself that as long as he wasn't embarrassed, it was others who were, and simply ignored Naruto.

"Go."

Kakashi pointed at Zabuza. "Chakra Circle Slash" shot directly at Zabuza. This time, it was even faster than before, arriving in front of Zabuza in the blink of an eye.

Zabuza. He gripped the Executioner's Blade tightly, raised it above his head, and cleaved it down.

"Click"

Zabuza's Kubikiribōchō snapped in two with a sharp crack, the cut perfectly clean. This was completely beyond Zabuza's expectations. His Kubikiribōchō was one of the Seven Ninja Tools of Kirigakure, a truly rare and precious weapon. To have it broken so easily by Kakashi's technique was Zabuza.

Keep in mind that the Energy Disc severed Frieza's tail when Krillin was still a small Karami. If it had been Frieza's neck instead, Planet Namek might not have been destroyed. That gives you an idea of just how powerful the Energy Disc is. And Kakashi's Chakra Disc could easily cut through a Kubikiribōchō.

"Lord Kakashi, please have mercy!"

At that moment, the Anbu squad leader shouted. Just as the "Chakra Circle Slash" was about to sever Zabuza's neck Zabuza him flying, it stopped. However, it Zabuza's skin, and blood flowed down his neck. If the Anbu squad leader had shouted a step slower, or if Kakashi had stopped a second slower, Zabuza would have become Zabuza.

"Lord Kakashi"

The Anbu Captain and his men appeared before Kakashi in a flash, greeting Kakashi warmly.

"It's you! White Rat."

Kakashi remembered his former subordinates. After all, one of them had once been a member of Kakashi's squad.

"I never imagined you'd become the team leader."

Kakashi was happy that his former team members had been promoted.

"I have to Kakashi Lord Kakashi for his past guidance."

The squad leader said modestly.

"However, what do you mean by stopping me from taking action?"

Kakashi's aura pressed down on the White Rat and his teammates.

"Hiss"

White Rat and his team felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them. White Rat was somewhat better off, after all, he was a Jonin, but his team members' legs trembled under Kakashi's aura. It wasn't that they were afraid of death; everyone who survived in the Anbu had walked through mountains of knives and seas of blood. It was because they were resisting Kakashi's overwhelming presence.

Upon seeing this, the White Rat immediately produced Orochimaru's command.

"Lord Kakashi, this is the Lord Hokage's intention."

Upon seeing the White Rat hold up a scroll, Kakashi reached out and took it. The further he read, the uglier his expression became.

"Does my brother know too?"

Although Kakashi was asking a question, Kakashi had already made up his mind from the tone of his voice after he finished speaking.

The White Rat stood in front of Kakashi, smiling sheepishly. It was Karot who had led the team back and witnessed Kakashi's fight with Zabuza.

"Hateful."

"Have you been here from the very beginning?"

White Rat nodded in agreement. It was because Karot concealed their presence that Kakashi hadn't noticed they were observing from the shadows. If it weren't for White Rat's shout, Kakashi would still be completely unaware. In fact, Kakashi should have realized it much earlier. He Zabuza for so long without a single Konoha ninja coming to his aid; all of this was Karot's doing.

"Where is Karot?"

Kakashi doesn't even call him "brother" anymore. After all, it's not exactly a happy thing to have an older brother who's always teasing his younger brother.

"Tell the truth!"

Kakashi glared at him, and the White Rat had no choice but to confess.

"Lord Karot said he didn't want to see you smug and left a long time ago."

White Rat dared not interfere in the love-hate relationship between these two brothers. They were both people he couldn't afford to offend.

"Beep beep"

Kakashi Zabuza a few times, Zabuza collapsed to the ground, unable to move. Kakashi snapped his fingers, and the "Chakra Circle Slash" automatically disappeared.

"The person is now in your hands."

"Let's go!"

Kakashi then led his team to provide support in other areas. His main reason was that Kakashi wanted to find his "dear" older brother.

"Zabuza- san, I advise you to behave yourself."

The White Rat saw that Zabuza trying to break the restriction Kakashi had placed on him and said...

"After all, I got this for you for free."

The White Rat crouched down and whispered in Zabuza's ear.

Upon hearing this, Zabuza became obedient. He knew that Haku had successfully contacted Konoha, after all, this was something that Haku and Zabuza had discussed long ago.

"Then let's go Zabuza- san."

After saying this, White Rat Zabuza to his subordinates while holding Zabuza in one hand, and the four of them instantly disappeared from the spot.
