"What should I pick next—the throat, spine, lungs, liver, carotid artery, subclavian artery, kidneys, or heart?"
Zabuza Momochi's gloomy voice drifted out from the thick mist.
The killing intent was so dense it felt tangible, and Sasuke's heart nearly stopped beating.
"This killing intent is terrifying! I don't even dare breathe too hard. I'm afraid I'll get cut down if my eyes so much as move. Is this what a real Jonin is capable of?!"
Sweat streamed down Sasuke's face as his eyes remained locked on the surrounding fog.
Zabuza's killing intent arrived before he did, as though freezing Sasuke's entire body solid.
It was the stiffness of being tense to the absolute limit.
Karin was no better off. Her senses were naturally as sharp as a radar, and every hair on her body stood on end at once.
"Too fast!"
Karin's face went pale. Having only ever sparred with Naruto before, this was the first time she had faced such terrifying killing intent head-on.
"What kind of joke is this?!"
Karin shouted, sensing Zabuza charging straight at her as she swung her leg down. "Heaven-Hunting Kick!"
Boom!
Sasuke and the others nearly had their eyes pop out of their heads—Karin stomped down hard.
With the four of them at the center, the earth and rocks beneath them instantly cracked and overturned.
Zabuza, who had been charging forward, suddenly narrowed his eyes as the ground beneath his feet flipped over.
The entire area looked as if it had been plowed, covered in cracks everywhere.
"That force is insane!"
Zabuza's expression changed. If he took that blow head-on, he would definitely be seriously injured.
"This technique... why does it look more and more like the one recorded in the ANBU manuals?!"
The Monster Strength of Tsunade, one of the Sannin!
