"Here I come!"
Haku wasn't about to let Sasuke leave just like that.
Half his body had already emerged from the ice mirror.
Whoosh—
In the next instant, Haku shot toward Sasuke at incredible speed.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
"What?!"
Haku stared in disbelief as Sasuke's shadow clone changed direction.
The corner of Sasuke's mouth curled into a confident smile.
Just as he'd expected.
The shadow clone had seemed to be aiming to smash the ice mirror, but in reality, it was meant to counter Haku as he burst out.
If Haku hadn't come out, Sasuke would've simply charged through.
But now that he had, Sasuke had gotten exactly what he wanted.
Since he couldn't keep up with Haku's speed, he'd use it against him.
Haku, racing forward at high speed, realized this too.
But the arrow had already left the bow. It was too late to stop—he might as well have run straight into Sasuke himself.
As he watched the Rasengan grow larger and larger,
Haku suddenly felt calm.
Am I going to die...? I'm sorry, Mr. Zabuza... I was too weak.
At least... this should count as carrying out Lord Cangwu's orders.
Lord Cangwu did warn me...
Thud—
A dull impact.
Crack—
Without Haku's Kekkei Genkai chakra sustaining them, the countless ice mirrors began to shatter like glass.
"Hmph."
With his hands in his pockets, Sasuke walked past Haku, who had been punched in the face.
He'd used up a tremendous amount of chakra and couldn't even keep his Sharingan active anymore.
"Why didn't you kill me?"
Haku lowered his head, looking somewhat dejected.
"Killing is a test for a ninja... Couldn't you bring yourself to kill me?"
Without turning around, Sasuke replied, "You don't have any bloodlust. If I killed you, Teacher Cangwu would probably have a headache."
