A Hair's Breadth! Tremor-Tremor Fruit

Zabuza Momochi did not make a move directly. He stood with his arms folded, watching the three people trapped in the encirclement with an indifferent gaze!

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!" Naruto Uzumaki stood in front of Tazuna, formed hand seals, and mobilized the chakra within his body.

More than a dozen Mist ninja split into three groups. At the forefront were Haku and the Chunin who had launched the earlier sneak attack.

"Brat, today I'll make sure you die without a burial!" the Chunin shouted, thrusting out the sickle blade in his hand.

The sickle blade instantly pierced through Tianming's body, but no blood flowed out.

"Careful, it's a shadow clone!" Haku, wearing a mask, warned.

The Chunin's expression changed as a sense of danger struck from behind!

Boom!

Tianming lashed out with a sweeping kick, sending the Chunin flying.

Swish, swish, swish!

Shuriken and kunai from all around instantly sealed off every route Tianming could use to retreat.

Tianming remained expressionless and stomped his foot!

The abundant chakra within him surged out of his body. A trace of black chakra aura swept outward, shattering all the shuriken.

Zabuza Momochi, who had been watching the battle, rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

The hell, was that a Genin?

If not for the intelligence from his own people and Tianming's still-youthful face, Zabuza Momochi would never have believed that this was actually a Genin, even if beaten to death.

Back on the battlefield, Naruto was evenly matched against the Mist Genin. During the journey here, he had constantly gathered chakra beneath his feet, making his movements even more nimble now.

"With me here, don't even think about hurting the old man!" With the battle already underway, Naruto Uzumaki used a forbidden technique as well!

The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique expanded Naruto Uzumaki's clones to ten!

The ten of them attacked in unison, putting him in an unbeatable position!

Elsewhere, Sasuke Uchiha clearly had more combat experience.

Holding a shuriken in one hand, he repeatedly charged through the encirclement of several Mist ninja without falling into a disadvantage.

"Boss, things seem a little bad."

On the cruise ship, a fat man beside Gato said anxiously, "Zabuza Momochi won't lose, will he?"

"Why are you worried about that? No matter how useless Zabuza Momochi is, he's still a very handy weapon! If he fails, then I can save on the remaining payment." Gato stuffed his cigar butt into the ashtray and said coldly.

The battle at the dock continued!

On the main battlefield, after a period of fierce fighting, the Chunin from the earlier four-man ambush group had his throat pierced by Tianming's shuriken.

At this point, Haku was the only ninja left besieging Tianming.

"Are you still not going to use your Bloodline Limit?" Tianming asked coldly.

"How do you know..." Half of Haku's mask had shattered, and his delicate face was filled with shock.

"Words are useless." Tianming had no interest in chatting.

He was only wondering why the follow-up check-in had yet to trigger.

"Haku, kill them with everything you have!" Zabuza Momochi's order came at that moment!

After all, nearly all the rogue Mist ninja were dead.

The battle had reached its fiercest point. Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were both covered in wounds after dealing with their opponents.

Upon hearing Zabuza Momochi's order, Haku no longer hesitated and rapidly formed hand seals.

In the next instant, mirrors made of mysterious ice suddenly rose all around Tianming.

"Qingchuan Tianming!" Sasuke Uchiha rushed over, intending to help.

"Water Prison Technique!" Zabuza Momochi suddenly appeared behind Sasuke Uchiha and pointed with one hand.

A sphere of chakra-condensed water directly trapped Sasuke Uchiha inside.

"Sasuke!" Naruto Uzumaki shouted, charging forward while controlling his crooked, unsteady shadow clones.

Zabuza Momochi drew the massive sword strapped to his back and slashed. A water-blue blade aura roared forth, cleaving Naruto Uzumaki's shadow clones cleanly in two!

"I'll make you die in despair!" Zabuza Momochi's cruel voice carried through the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals.

Yet the image reflected in every mirror was Sasuke Uchiha trapped within the Water Prison Technique and Naruto Uzumaki lying on the ground, unable to get back up no matter how hard he tried.

Haku entered the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals. "You're very talented, but Zabuza wants you dead. You can only die!"

As his words fell, Haku formed a seal with one hand and violently swung the senbon in his hand!

"Thousand Flying Water Needles!"

Just as the Thousand Flying Water Needles activated, Tianming finally received the follow-up check-in!

"Check-in mission activated!"

"Complete the check-in: remain standing for ten seconds."

Tianming silently waited for the countdown. The ice needles filling the sky shot toward him, instantly cutting open his entire body.

He could not use chakra while carrying out the check-in mission. Tianming could only endure it head-on!

"Despair? Hahahaha!" Standing outside the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals and watching Tianming being pierced by the Thousand Flying Water Needles, Zabuza Momochi began to grin viciously.

"Despair? Zabuza, how about you die after ten seconds?"

Tianming's voice was cold to the extreme. He would not sympathize with the bond between Zabuza Momochi and Haku. Right now, he only wanted to kill!

"3, 2, 1... Check-in successful!"

"Mission reward: Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Green)!"
