Momochi Zabuza

After leaving the road, the group soon entered a dense forest.

The mist among the trees grew thicker.

The surroundings were unusually quiet. Aside from their footsteps, there was almost no sound at all.

Uchiha You walked at the very back of the group, his expression calm.

Suddenly!

A sharp whistling sound came from ahead.

"Whoosh!"

A massive Kubikiribōchō, carrying terrifying force, swept toward them horizontally.

"Watch out!"

Sakura reacted first. She immediately turned and lunged at Tazuna, knocking him to the ground.

Naruto and Sasuke also rolled to either side at once.

Uchiha You merely shifted his footing slightly.

The huge blade grazed past his body and slammed into the tree trunk behind him.

The tree shook violently, and leaves rained down like droplets.

Naruto climbed to his feet and stared fixedly at the massive sword.

"What is that thing?"

"What a huge sword!"

The man was tall, with no eyebrows. Bandages covered the lower half of his face, leaving only a pair of cold eyes exposed.

A dense killing intent radiated from him.

He looked like an evil ghost that had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

The three of them instantly grew solemn.

The aura he gave off alone made them feel immense pressure.

Zabuza walked over to the sword, grabbed its hilt, and violently pulled it free.

"Konoha ninja."

"Hand that old man over to me, then leave immediately."

"As long as you abandon this mission now, I can spare your lives."

His arrogance was completely undisguised.

Zabuza spoke as if he already had everyone before him under his control.

Uchiha You raised an eyebrow.

Ever since arriving in this world, Zabuza was the first person
