Konoha: Reincarnated with the Tenseigan, Taking Over Team 7

Just as he was about to obtain the Lottery Pack, Yuki Haku suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

This pretty-boy really knew how to cause trouble!

Who cared about protecting important people? Was that more important than obtaining the Lottery Pack?

Naruto Uzumaki stared at Yuki Haku's face and said blankly, "You're that pretty... big brother from the other day?"

"Sorry, Mr. Cangyue, but even if I have to break your rules, I must protect the most important person. I am Mr. Zabuza's tool. Fulfilling his dream is the meaning of my life!" Yuki Haku rapidly formed Hand Seals with one hand.

"Ice Release: Ice..." Yuki Haku was just about to attack when—

"Release this, release that. No matter what you release, it's meaningless." Hyuga Cangyue transformed into a streak of azure lightning and instantly appeared behind Yuki Haku. Then he raised his foot and kicked Haku in the butt.

"Smack!" Yuki Haku was kicked to the ground and landed heavily on his stomach.

The attack was plain, but very effective.

"See? All that releasing is completely useless. Usually, it's the most sincere attacks that can touch an enemy's heart." Hyuga Cangyue sat on Yuki Haku with both hands in his pockets, crossed his legs, and ate Ramen.

Hyuga Cangyue looked at the members of Team 7, slurped up some Ramen, and said indistinctly, "You brats all right?"

"So... so strong!"

The members of Team 7 stared blankly at Aogetsu Hyuga, their faces full of bewilderment. None of them could believe that the enemy who had just forced them into a desperate situation had been casually defeated by Cangyue-sensei.

Was this Cangyue-sensei's strength?

Although Cangyue-sensei was frivolous and awful, he was truly a man who made people feel safe!

"Was that Lightning Release just now?" Sasuke Uchiha was stunned. Cangyue-sensei had moved so quickly that even with his Two-Tomoe Sharingan, he had been unable to catch sight of him.

Rather than the speed of the Body Flicker Technique, it looked more like he had used Lightning Release to move!

After coming to his senses, Naruto Uzumaki angrily pointed at Hyuga Cangyue and shouted resentfully, "Bastard, why are you showing off? If you'd been one second later, we'd all be dead! And you still have the nerve to eat Ramen—and it's even my favorite pork-bone char siu!"

Damn it!

I want Ramen too!

Give me a bite!

Chapter 53: Zabuza's Death, Obtaining the Lottery Pack.

"Don't put it that way. You all performed very well just now. With the strength of three Genin, you actually forced a Jonin into a desperate situation. That's something you can brag about to others." Hyuga Cangyue took a sip of the noodle broth, tossed the bowl behind him, and slowly rose with both hands in his pockets. He stepped on Yuki Haku's back, slightly increasing the pressure of his foot.

"If no one had interfered, you would have won just now."

"Isn't that right, pretty-boy?" Hyuga Cangyue bent over with both hands in his pockets and looked down at Yuki Haku with cold arrogance. He increased the pressure again, and cracks spread across the bridge. Yuki Haku's entire body sank into the ground.

Although the injuries Demon had suffered from Black Coffin had not yet healed, Team 7's performance had truly been unexpected. They had actually forced Demon into a desperate situation.

At first, Cangyue had thought Team 7 would need Naruto to unleash the Demon Fox Cloak before they could force Demon into a desperate situation.

He had even prepared a backup plan: use an illusion to control Sakura Haruno and have her get injured, then enrage Naruto into unleashing the Demon Fox Cloak.

But given the current situation, there was no need for a backup plan.

"I'm still far from good enough. At the moment, I can only throw one punch." Sakura Haruno appeared very modest on the surface, but her eyes were filled with pride.

You lecherous teacher!

You know how impressive I am now, right?

"Hmph." Sasuke Uchiha snorted coldly and turned his head away, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

Cangyue-sensei actually praised people?

To be honest, it felt pretty good.

Naruto Uzumaki put one hand on his hip, proudly lifted his little head, rubbed the tip of his nose, and said, "Of course, Cangyue-sensei! If you hadn't shown up, I would have defeated them already!"

Hyuga Cangyue said casually, "Is that so? Seeing how good your mental states are, I can rest assured and whip you into shape. Of course, wait until we get back and prepare yourselves, you brats."

Team 7 had indeed performed well.

However—

The Nine-Tails brat had performed terribly, while the Uchiha brat had performed the best.

As for Sakura Haruno... she was average.

Sasuke Uchiha's performance just now had already surpassed that of many Chunin!

As for Naruto Uzumaki's performance, if he had to give it a rating... it was stupid!

Blood trickled from the corner of Yuki Haku's mouth. Even though every inch of his body was in excruciating pain, he stubbornly made no sound and said with a bitter smile, "Mr. Cangyue, you really are strong."

Strange.

Why couldn't he move?

It was as if an invisible force were pressing down on his entire body, making movement impossible!

He couldn't even move his fingers!

Was it because of the Sealing from earlier?

"Are you an adult doll? If it hurts, make a sound." Hyuga Cangyue increased the pressure of his foot again, creating a small crater in the ground. Yuki Haku sank into it.

He had applied a Sealing to Yuki Haku earlier. Now that he had activated it, Yuki Haku couldn't even gather Chakra, let alone move.

Yuki Haku said, "I am a tool."

His entire body truly hurt. It felt as though every bone were about to split apart, and after the Sealing activated, there was also a scorching pain throughout his body.

But so what?

Being abandoned had hurt even more.

Zabuza had always told him so.

He was nothing but a tool. There was no need for him to have feelings or emotions. He was merely a tool for completing missions.

He wanted to be needed by Zabuza. He wanted to give everything for Zabuza.

That was his Ninja Way!

"Twisted affection." Hyuga Cangyue slightly furrowed his brows.

"He has no heart. He has even abandoned the very concept of life." Zabuza Momochi struggled and staggered to his feet. Blood flowed all over his body as he shakily drew a Kunai and stared coldly at Hyuga Cangyue.

"There is no tool more perfect than Haku. He is a shinobi even more capable than I am. By using him, I can fulfill my ambitions."

"So... take your foot off my tool!" Zabuza Momochi gripped the Kunai and dragged his unsteady body toward Hyuga Cangyue.

"What a frightening expression. Are you some kind of domineering CEO? Watching the struggle of the weak is pretty entertaining, but you're my students' experience pack." Hyuga Cangyue pulled one hand from his pocket and caught the Kunai between two fingers.

He did not attack.

Because he was genuinely afraid right now. He was terrified that he might slap Zabuza to death. If he accidentally killed Zabuza, the reward for the Side Mission would be gone!

"I said, take your foot off my tool!" Zabuza Momochi drew another Kunai and slashed fiercely at Hyuga Cangyue's neck.

"Your relationship is pretty distorted." Hyuga Cangyue pulled out his other hand, aimed at Zabuza Momochi's forehead, and carefully flicked it with one finger.

"Bang!" Zabuza Momochi was sent flying. His body scraped a long distance across the ground before crashing heavily into the wall.

Hyuga Cangyue asked curiously, "Are you still alive?"

"Don't underestimate me!" Zabuza Momochi grabbed the bridge railing for support and struggled to stand, staring coldly at Cangyue in the distance.

The mission had failed completely. Now he had to find a way to retreat.

Although Hyuga Cangyue had a bounty of one billion, he could make a comeback if he got that money. But Hyuga Cangyue's strength... was absurd.

He was as immovable as a mountain!

For now, he could only retreat.

"Phew." Hyuga Cangyue secretly let out a sigh of relief.

As long as he was alive.

Hyuga Cangyue looked at all of Team 7 and said with a faint smile, "Brats, go settle things."

All of Team 7 answered, "Yes!"

Cangyue-sensei hadn't dealt with the enemy himself. Instead, he had left him for Team 7 to handle. Was he planning to temper our resolve?

As expected of Cangyue-sensei!

"Haku, how long are you planning to lie there? It's time to retreat!" Zabuza Momochi glanced at Yuki Haku, who was being stepped on by Cangyue.

Yuki Haku lightly bit his lip, a trace of bitterness at the corner of his mouth. "I'm sorry. Please abandon me."

He wanted to move, but he couldn't. He was nothing but a burden.

A shinobi who had become a burden had no qualifications to be a perfect tool.

Zabuza Momochi frowned and shouted in a low voice, "What foolishness are you spouting? Use your ability and leave immediately!"

What was going on?

Why couldn't Haku move? What had Cangyue done?

Hyuga Cangyue wore a look of disgust. Covering his mouth with one hand, he whispered, "Look at how annoying this guy is. I'm handsome and far too strong, yet he blames you for being useless."

"If you were a woman, you'd probably be crying and screaming right now, wouldn't you?"

"Isn't that right, pretty-boy?" Hyuga Cangyue suddenly pressed down with his foot. The entire bridge shook violently. Every bone in Yuki Haku's body trembled, especially his spine, where crack after crack appeared. His entire body gradually sank into the concrete.

"Pervert... My name is Haku." Sweetness surged up Yuki Haku's throat, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood. This was the first time he had encountered a shinobi so absurdly powerful.

No wonder there was a saying circulating throughout the Shinobi World: run first if you encountered Hyuga Cangyue, and never provoke the madman Cangyue, because Cangyue would trample on an enemy's dignity until their complete death.

Yuki Haku called softly, "Mr. Zabuza, please abandon me!"

He could die.

But Mr. Zabuza had to live, because Zabuza still had a dream to fulfill!

"..." Zabuza Momochi said nothing. He lowered his head, and no one could see his expression. He neither retreated immediately nor launched an attack.

Damn it!

Haku was clearly just a tool—a tool I used to fulfill my ambitions. Whether he lived or died shouldn't matter.

But... why?

Why couldn't I move?

Hyuga Cangyue teased him with a faint smile, "Give up. How could he escape when he's in my hands? If he really abandons you and runs away, then he's a failed gay."

He hadn't used his ability to stop Zabuza. Zabuza simply hadn't run away himself.

Hyuga Cangyue waved his hand and ordered, "Go, Sasuke. Use Chidori."

"You don't need to tell me. I was going to do it anyway." Sasuke Uchiha activated his Two-Tomoe Sharingan, then rapidly formed Hand Seals. He grasped one wrist with his other hand, azure lightning surging from his palm.

"Remember my name. The one who will defeat you is Sasuke of the Uchiha Clan!" Sasuke Uchiha held the azure lightning and walked toward Zabuza Momochi one step at a time, looking down at Zabuza with cold arrogance through his crimson Sharingan.

Hyuga Cangyue raised his thumb and pretended to praise him. "Mm, very good. Very pretentious. Before defeating an enemy, you have to talk some trash."

Kids these days were hopeless. Their heads were full of showing off.

"Sasuke..." Naruto Uzumaki moved his lips. He hesitated as he glanced at Yuki Haku, then at Zabuza Momochi. In the end, he couldn't say anything.

Did the enemy really have to die?

There was no irreconcilable hatred between them. It was merely a conflict of opposing positions.

"Die." Sasuke Uchiha gripped the lightning and viciously thrust it toward Zabuza Momochi's heart.

In an instant—

"Mr. Zabuza!" A look of panic flashed through Yuki Haku's eyes. He had rarely experienced emotional fluctuations before, but when he saw Zabuza facing death, the feelings in his heart completely erupted.

"Bzzzt!" Yuki Haku unleashed his Chakra and used the Body Flicker Technique to block Zabuza.

"This guy..." Hyuga Cangyue was slightly surprised. The pretty-boy had actually broken free of the Sealing. He truly was an outstanding genius.

But...

To die for another person was incredibly foolish!

The most foolish thing was that the pretty-boy was far too kind.

He could have defeated the Uchiha brat in an instant, but the pretty-boy hadn't done so. Instead, he had thrown himself in front of Zabuza Momochi.
