Sharingan and Lightning Blade!

Seeing the young man blocking his path, Momochi Zabuza's expression darkened. He said, "Kakashi, you've finally appeared."

Kakashi calmly glanced at him and said, "You can't escape today. Surrender."

Zabuza sensed Xiao Meng's presence behind him, then looked at Kakashi. His expression became exceedingly grim.

Now that he was being pincered by two experts, it would have been difficult to find a chance to escape even at full strength, much less in his current heavily injured state.

But he was also a stubborn man. Even in desperate straits, he refused to bend his knee and beg for mercy. Clenching his weapon, he said coldly, "Don't tell me you're going to give me a chance to turn over a new leaf? How ridiculous!

I don't need anyone's pity. A battle between ninjas ends only in life or death!"

Hearing this, Kakashi's expression shifted slightly. He then raised a hand and pushed up his slanted forehead protector, revealing the left eye it had always concealed.

As he opened his eye, three blood-red tomoe emerged within his pupil.

This was the Bloodline Limit unique to the Uchiha clan—the Sharingan!

Seeing this, Zabuza tightened his grip on his weapon again and said, "The Sharingan, huh? Good. Let me see your strongest move!"

Kakashi replied blandly, "As you wish."

As his words fell, a powerful surge of chakra erupted, gathering in his right hand and transforming into brilliant silver lightning.

"That's more like it. Only death is a ninja's destiny!"

Intense fighting spirit rose in Zabuza's eyes. He immediately charged forward, gripping the Executioner's Blade with both hands and sweeping it horizontally toward his opponent.

Kakashi had also prepared himself. He bent slightly into a charging stance, his left hand gripping his right wrist as he controlled the violent circulation of chakra.

As he watched his opponent rush at him with blade in hand, his legs suddenly exploded with force. Powerful energy burst forth, and his entire body shot out like an arrow.

Everyone heard a thunderous crackle like the cries of countless birds, and then a flash of lightning streaked past their eyes.

This was his only self-created ultimate technique: the S-rank Lightning Release Ninjutsu, Lightning Blade!

In an instant, the two figures crossed sharply in midair. Scarlet blood splashed as they swiftly landed back on the ground.

A wound, neither shallow nor deep, had appeared on Kakashi's arm. It had clearly been inflicted by the Executioner's Blade, with strands of blood flowing from it.

Momochi Zabuza, on the other hand, was in an even more miserable state. His face was pale, and lightning had pierced through his chest, leaving it charred black.

Already gravely injured, he had now suffered further wounds and could no longer hold on.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and crashed heavily to the ground. His breath grew weaker and weaker, and there was little life left in him.

Seeing that the battle was over, Xiao Meng could not be bothered to act again. With a sweep of Qiu Li, she dispelled World Losing Color.

The entire world instantly returned to its original colors, and Sasuke and the others, who had been frozen in place, regained the ability to move.

The Water Mirror Secret Technique shattered, and Haku's slender figure immediately rushed out. He arrived at Zabuza's side and anxiously cried, "Lord Zabuza! Lord Zabuza!"

His eyes were filled with anxiety and fear. To him, the other man had long since become the only person in his life.

If Momochi Zabuza was gone, then nothing he had would hold any meaning.

Feeling that increasingly faint life force, Haku became even more terrified. Yet no matter how hard he tried, he could not stop the other man's life from slipping away.

Seeing him on the verge of death, Haku's body trembled. His eyes reddened, and two streams of clear tears rolled down his cheeks.

Ever since his parents had died, he had never cried again. Yet now, his tears would not stop falling to the ground.

Seeing this, Naruto felt a pang in his heart. He wanted to step forward and comfort him, but he did not know what to say.

Chen Feng shook his head, then gave Xiao Meng beside him a meaningful look.

Understanding his intent, Xiao Meng strode forward on her long legs. She glanced at Momochi Zabuza, who was barely clinging to life, then extended one hand.

The Taoist Evergreen Skill slowly began to circulate. Strands of green true qi spread from her palm, gradually diffusing into his scarred body.

Dao School techniques were not only profound and enduring, but also possessed powerful healing effects. As the true qi treated him, the injury on Zabuza's chest visibly eased somewhat.

That faint, nearly imperceptible breath gradually stabilized as well, and his fading vitality seemed to show a trace of revival.

Seeing this, everyone present was surprised. Some did not understand why Chen Feng wanted to save an enemy, while others were astonished by Xiao Meng's methods.

Haku's eyes widened, and an indescribable surge of joy and excitement burst forth within him.

He then knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed to Chen Feng and Xiao Meng, saying with immense gratitude, "Thank you both for saving his life!"

Xiao Meng withdrew her true qi and said coolly, "His injuries are too severe. I cannot fully heal him. For now, I have only preserved his last breath. Whether he can survive will depend on fate.

Even if he does survive, his internal organs have been damaged. He will certainly be crippled for the rest of his life."

Hearing this, concern appeared on Haku's face, but he remained deeply grateful. Even if Zabuza truly became crippled, it did not matter. As long as he could remain by his side, Haku would be satisfied.

After kowtowing once more, Haku picked up Zabuza and silently left the area.

Kakashi did not stop them. As Xiao Meng had said, even if Momochi Zabuza did not die, he would certainly be crippled. He was no longer a threat, so there was no need to kill him completely.

Watching the two leave, Naruto could not help feeling somewhat forlorn. But being the optimist he was, he quickly recovered.

He leaped to Kakashi's side and asked curiously, "Sensei, what kind of ninjutsu was that just now? It looked so amazing!"

At those words, Sasuke and Sakura also turned to look at him, clearly quite curious as well.

Kakashi did not hide anything and replied, "It was an S-rank ninjutsu I created in the past, called Lightning Blade."

"It's actually the legendary S-rank ninjutsu!"

"Lightning Blade, huh? That's so cool!"

The few of them could not help feeling a sense of longing, looking forward to the day when they too could become like this.

At that moment, Kakashi looked at the aloof Xiao Meng beside them and said, "We also have this member of the Dao School to thank. She severely injured Momochi Zabuza. Otherwise, even using Lightning Blade might not have been enough to defeat him."

Hearing this, Naruto and the others looked over as well, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Naturally, they had not forgotten the fierce battle just now, much less the astonishing sight when World Losing Color had been unleashed...
