Brutally Tormenting Zabuza

The mist grew thicker and thicker.

It even restricted the Byakugan's range and field of vision.

Hinata was so anxious that her face turned red.

Chiye Jun comforted her indulgently:

"Don't worry. Once you train gradually in the future, your abilities will naturally improve."

Kakashi's expression turned grave.

Zabuza's voice drifted leisurely from within the mist:

"Back when I was in the Hidden Mist Assassination Corps, I already learned about you from the friendship handbook I carried with me..."

The moment he finished speaking!

A slash cut through the thick mist and flew toward him.

The sound of metal clashing rang out!

It was accompanied by a low groan of pain.

Fortunately, Kakashi reacted quickly and immediately pulled out a kunai to block the strike.

Yet his hand still throbbed from the impact.

Cold sweat poured down his face.

"Silent Killing Technique!"

Chiye Jun cried out in alarm.

"The Demon of the Hidden Mist truly lives up to his reputation. In this dense fog, he can push assassination to the limit."

Then he immediately remembered the Shadow Butterfly he had just been rewarded.

It could see through invisibility and clones!

Chiye Jun summoned it at once.

Mothra flapped her wings and flew into the mist.

Her butterfly body glowed, dazzling like a luminous pearl in the darkness.

"Haha, a guide butterfly..."

Chiye Jun knew:

The place where Mothra had stopped was exactly where Zabuza was.

Yet Zabuza was smugly gloating like an idiot:

"I'm so damn awesome. No one can see me..."

Within the dense mist.

Everyone was like a blind man.

Not only that.

Zabuza also unleashed a powerful killing intent!

Under that killing intent, Sasuke and the others were like candles flickering in the wind, pale-faced and trembling.

They struggled to breathe, their hearts filled with fear and despair.

"I want to die! I don't want to live anymore!"

"Sasuke, let's do it together..."

Yet Chiye Jun was completely unaffected by the killing intent.

Because he had discovered the second benefit of the Clear-Sound Bodhi Constitution: it was not only immune to genjutsu, but also to killing intent.

This was insanely awesome...

At that moment, he stepped forward and shouted, "Joy Release: Pleasure Technique!"

Streams of white light enveloped his teammates.

Only then did their fear and despair vanish, replaced by hope and renewed spirit!

They returned to Hinata's side and formed a protective formation.

Chiye Jun summoned Blackie to protect them.

Then he turned and ran toward Kakashi.

"Kakashi-sensei, I'm here to help!"

His appearance suddenly made Kakashi feel as though a heavy burden had been lifted...

Just as Zabuza was feeling pleased with himself.

Chiye Jun used Monster Strength, gathering chakra into a thousand-ton fist and smashing it at him!

Its momentum was fierce and unstoppable.

Sensing the chakra, Zabuza was shocked!

"This brat actually found me? A coincidence, it has to be a coincidence!"

In his panic, he could only raise the Executioner's Blade as a shield.

"Boom!"

Blood burst from Zabuza's hand as the immense force sent him flying, scattering sprays of blood through the air.

The ground was forcibly gouged with a clear trail.

A deep fist-shaped dent had appeared on the Executioner's Blade as well.

An ordinary weapon would have shattered long ago.

But the Executioner's Blade was incomparably sturdy and possessed a bloodthirsty ability to repair itself. It was known as the blade that would never break.

"Strength! Speed! Courage!"

"This brat definitely has the strength of a jonin!"

Zabuza stared in stunned disbelief.

Still, he thought Chiye Jun had merely gotten lucky.

But!

After he changed positions, the other boy remained on him like a persistent curse.

Zabuza did not know that a flower butterfly was fluttering above his head.

Like a flashing warning light...

"He's just a brat!"

Zabuza erupted with fierce killing intent once more.

Chiye Jun also released an immense tide of chakra, his aura surging forth like crashing waves.

The two killing intents collided with a sizzling sound.

The sky turned grim, and the temperature plummeted.

Soon.

Zabuza was forced back by the overwhelming aura and dropped onto the ground on his ass.

Cruel reality shattered his arrogance.

His prized Silent Killing Technique had been easily broken by a mere brat.

"There were rumors recently that the illegitimate son of Konoha Village's Hokage and a kabuki performer was a genius. Could it be him..."

Suddenly!

A cold voice came from Chiye Jun's mouth:

"Eight places: the throat, spine, liver, lungs, carotid artery, collarbone, kidneys, and heart. Mr. Zabuza, which one will you choose?"

Chiye Jun teased him, in no hurry to attack.

Like a cat that had caught a mouse, he wanted to play with it first...

Zabuza was dumbfounded.

Young people had no martial virtue!

You stole all my lines. What am I supposed to say now...

But he quickly climbed back up, his muscles tensing as power burst forth.

The Executioner's Blade became a blur as it swept toward Chiye Jun's waist!

"Bang!"

Chiye Jun was sliced apart instantly!

Except!

Water splashed everywhere—it was only a Water Clone.

Zabuza's eyes bulged out.

"This brat... he knows the Water Clone Technique too!"

His entire worldview was completely overturned.

Am I the abnormal one, or are geniuses just this insane...

"Die!"

Zabuza raised the Executioner's Blade again and cleaved down.

The figure exploded.

Another Water Clone!

I refuse to believe it!

This is complete bullshit!

"Again, you damned brat!"

Kakashi could not see what was happening inside the mist.

All he could hear was a series of rhythmic "splat, splat" water sounds...

Chiye Jun had had enough fun.

He said coldly, "My turn!"

But...

Which technique should he use?

Now that he had so many techniques, choosing one had become difficult...

Just then!

The system popped up and issued a plot sign-in mission:

[Ding! Awaken Naruto's Nine-Tails power, prevent Sasuke from being seriously injured by the Crystal Ice Mirrors, and brutally cut down Kado]

Wait!

Awaken Naruto's Nine-Tails power?

Prevent Sasuke from getting hurt?

Brutally cut down Kado?

Three missions!!!

Did that mean the rewards would be more generous?

Chiye Jun suddenly had a strong premonition.

This time, he would be rewarded with the "Ice Release Bloodline Limit" related to Haku...

Coming back to his senses, Chiye Jun began brutally tormenting Zabuza.

"Thousand Years of Death!"

Piupiupiu!

Splat splat splat!

Aaaahhh!

For nearly the next ten minutes, Zabuza was viciously abused by Chiye Jun within the mist, accompanied by some rather discordant sounds.

Although Zabuza repeatedly used Water Clones.

The butterfly kept circling him, and Chiye Jun accurately found his real body every time.

There was no suspense about the devastation of his chrysanthemum...

Chiye Jun suddenly had a premonition that Mothra would definitely not remain alone in the future. Perhaps she would have an entire butterfly family, each with all kinds of insanely awesome abilities...

(As for why he did not kill Zabuza, that will be explained next time.)

(Tomorrow, Haku will appear.)

(As for Haku's gender, it has been conclusively confirmed. This book will not argue about it anymore, so haters can leave... I've read quite a few Naruto fanfics where some authors actually wrote Haku as a woman and even took him into their harem... I cannot accept that. Yes, this book often teases Sasuke and Naruto, but it is only parody. They will never really do anything indescribable... They are more like brothers and buddies close enough to wear the same pair of pants. But some people suggested taking Haku into the harem—this humble servant simply cannot do it...)
