The team finally continued to set off. The three Sasuke didn't know what agreement Aoba and Tazuna had reached. They only knew that the mission would continue.
The next journey was peaceful for a few days. But Aoba knew that since Demon Brothers had appeared, it meant that Zabuza had already targeted him, just like in the original plot.
The current Aoba is naturally not afraid of Zabuza. However, he is quite interested in this extremely traditional ninja.
Zabuza except that the weapon is Kubikiribōchō, it doesn't quite fit the style of a ninja. Take a look at his moves in the plot.
Start with Hidden Mist Technique, then use various Water Clone Technique to cheat away the position. Hand Seals releases ninjutsu.
In his previous life, many people said that Kisame was an honest person. But in Aoba's opinion, Zabuza is similar. They are all very traditional ninjas.
When passing by a forest, Karin's face suddenly became nervous.
"Aoba teacher, there is..."
Before he finished speaking, a whistling sound came from above his head.
"Get down." Aoba shouted, Body Flicker Technique stepped forward and directly caught the flying Kubikiribōchō with one hand.
The huge impact pushed him back more than ten meters. But in the end, Kubikiribōchō fell steadily into the hands of Aoba.
Zabuza in the distance. "..."
Aoba casually inserted Kubikiribōchō in front of him. He looked up at the tall figure on the branch of the tree.
Zabuza is very tall and strong. In addition, he carries a huge machete on his back. He looks more like a samurai than a ninja.
"What a strong chakra. It's not at the same level as the previous two." Mind's Eye of the Kagura of Karin clearly observed that Zabuza was very powerful, which was not comparable to the previous two losers.
"Team 7, prepare to meet the enemy."
"Okay, look at me." As soon as Aoba finished speaking, Naruto, who had always wanted to show off, rushed forward.
"Idiot." Sasuke yelled angrily and could only follow him. He also had rich practical experience. He could see the danger of Zabuza at a glance. Only Naruto, dumbfounded, rushed forward.
"Multiple Shadow Clone." Naruto used his signature ninjutsu, which shocked Zabuza.
This kid has so much chakra?
But then, Naruto revealed his secret. His Taijutsu was pretty good among his peers. But facing a master like Zabuza, it was no different from delivering food.
Even without Kubikiribōchō in hand, Zabuza would hit his Shadow Clone with one punch.
"It turned out to be just a flower display."
Sasuke fired six rounds of Shuriken from the side. Zabuza avoided it sideways. Then it was discovered that Shuriken was wrapped with extremely fine steel wire?
"This is...Uchiha's throwing technique. It's been a long time."
Back then, Uchiha was arranged by a group of wise people to fight against Kirigakure. Uchiha's signature throw was very familiar to the ninjas of Kirigakure.
"Manipulating Shuriken Technique." Sasuke manipulated the steel wire to block the movement of Zabuza from all sides, and then gathered in the middle.
"Got you." He shouted. Then he saw Zabuza turned into a pool of water.
"Water Clone Technique. No, Mr. Tazuna."
Zabuza, holding a Kunai, has appeared in front of Tazuna.
"Mission accomplished."
There is absolutely no intention of getting entangled with Naruto Sasuke. Zabuza once again showed a different style from the original plot. He directly bypassed Sasuke Naruto and prepared to behead Tazuna.
"Earth Release, Double Suicide Decapitation Technique."
A hand suddenly grabbed Zabuza's leg from the ground and pulled him directly into the ground.
Karin took action at the critical moment, and the timing was perfect. However, Aoba still shook his head with a little pity.
Although Zabuza is also a traditional ninja Hand Seals, the speed of performing spells is much faster than that of the three children.
The moment before Karin succeeded, the opponent had already used Water Clone Technique to avoid it again.
"Interesting, as expected of the team led by Konoha Wind-Chasing Sword. It seems I have to get serious too, Hidden Mist Technique."
A thick fog spread rapidly, covering the entire forest. Zabuza's figure disappeared into the thick fog.
"Damn it, I can't see it anymore. If you dare, come out and face me face to face." Naruto was still talking wildly. Karin finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"You two idiots, as long as we guard Mr. Tazuna, he will definitely show up. Come back to me."
Hidden Mist Technique is not an ordinary dense fog, and the ordinary Wind Release cannot break it. Therefore, Karin's tactical choice is theoretically correct. However, the coordination between the three of them is really bad. Moreover, they do not have a correct understanding of the strength of Zabuza.
The three quickly formed a defensive formation, protecting Tazuna in the middle. But ninjas will release ninjutsu, especially when four people are crowded together.
"Water Release, Great Waterfall Technique."
Zabuza did not conduct an assassination in the thick fog as expected. Seeing four people huddled together, an AOE directly covered four people.
"Earth Release, Earth-Style Wall." Karin madly output chakra, and an earth wall rose out of thin air, blocking the frontal impact of the waterfall.
But the running water still completely submerged them.
All three of them were able to Water Walking, dragging Tazuna barely standing in the water. Seeing this, Aoba knew that the three little ones had lost.
In the impact just now, Zabuza had followed the current and sneaked under their feet. Karin was unable to see Clone Technique with Mind's Eye of the Kagura because it was trying its best to maintain Earth-Style Wall. As a result, they had lost the initiative.
Facing Elite Jonin like Zabuza, several Genin lose the initiative and can only wait to die.
A huge roar came again. Kubikiribōchō suddenly appeared and slashed at the three people's feet.
The three people exclaimed, and then realized that Zabuza had been approaching here without knowing it.
With a crash, the water surface exploded, and Zabuza rushed out of the water. But it could not cause harm to the four people because Kubikiribōchō had already flown into his face.
With a clang, Zabuza barely blocked Kubikiribōchō. But the next second, Aoba's figure had appeared in front of him.
"So fast!" This thought flashed through Zabuza's mind, but it was too late to respond.
Aoba pushed his right hand flat and pressed it on Zabuza's chest. A ball of compressed air exploded in his hand.
With a bang, Zabuza felt as if someone had hit his chest with a sledgehammer. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and he flew dozens of meters away. He hit a tree heavily.
"Uh, cough..." After the blow, Zabuza directly covered his chest and could hardly stand.
There is such a big difference! He is indeed a master who can tie with Raikage. This guy is probably no weaker than White Fang of Konoha back then.
It's just a pity that I still accomplished nothing after so many years.
Zabuza is a little sad. He is a very traditional ninja. The assassination back then was also because he wanted to save Kirigakure. In these years, he has been active outside under the title of rebel ninja, and he also wanted to accumulate strength and one day be able to return to Kirigakure.
But now it seems that everything will end today.
