Boom!
Boom! Boom!
The flames that shot out actually slammed into a wall of ice.
Given Zabuza Momochi's condition, there was no way he could have used a ninjutsu to defend himself.
Then who had created this wall of ice?
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Sharp whistling sounds came from within the smoke and dust.
Countless ice needles rained down like a storm.
With the help of his Sharingan, Sasuke Uchiha barely dodged that wave of attacks.
"Sasuke!"
Naruto Uzumaki immediately rushed over to support him.
Whoosh!
Just then, a figure could be seen carrying the immobilized Zabuza as he leaped onto a tree branch and fled into the distance.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Naruto Uzumaki immediately prepared to chase after them.
"Naruto, don't go!" Kakashi stopped him.
"Damn it, he actually got away." Naruto Uzumaki looked unwilling to accept it. "Kakashi-sensei, why did you let them escape?"
Kakashi said nothing, answering him with his actions instead.
Thud!
Kakashi collapsed straight to the ground.
He was already at the end of his strength. He had only forced himself to remain standing just now, preventing himself from falling immediately.
Kakashi's condition was not serious. He had merely exhausted all his chakra, causing an adverse reaction in his body. A few days of rest would be enough for him to recover completely.
The group continued onward.
Since Kakashi had lost his ability to fight, and they feared the enemy might send more powerful ninja after them, they proceeded with exceptional caution.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and they finally arrived in town.
Tazuna, whose nerves had been tightly wound the entire way, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"We'll be at my house soon," Tazuna said.
"Huh, what's going on here? Why is there hardly anyone on the streets?" Naruto Uzumaki asked
