Kubikiribōchō flew towards the fog faster than when it came, heading straight towards the hidden figure Zabuza!
"Did he notice my true form after using Hidden Mist Technique?"
Zabuza was startled, but he did not show any timidity. His tall figure appeared in the mist, and he stretched out his hand to grasp the handle of the Kubikiribōchō knife that was thrown back just like the one who had just arrived.
And Kubikiribōchō didn't move at all the moment he held it, and Zabuza didn't even take a step back!
In terms of strength, he was better than anyone else, but after seeing the opponent clearly, Zabuza still praised:
"You're young, but your speed and strength are pretty good. It's a pity that you're going to die."
"Are you...Naruto Uzumaki?"
[Did he happen to be passing by on a certain mission?]
Kurenai Yuhi also recognized the other party. Looking at Naruto's back, she was a little surprised and confused as to why Naruto appeared here. Even if someone from Sakura or Yazhen had returned to the village to deliver the news, it was impossible for the village to send someone here so quickly!
At this time, a certain Kakashi, who was still lying on the ground unable to move, looked helpless and began to regret that he had used Chakra too cleanly.
He reluctantly reached out and touched his mask, and it seemed that he could still touch the lip prints that had been printed on it not long ago.
After all, he couldn't see his body at all now. After being dragged to the shade, he was given a simple disguise Invisibility Technique.
"It was a miscalculation..."
Kakashi, who was placed here, let out a long sigh, and now there was no one around him.
Naruto looked back at Kurenai Yuhi and found that she had been covering her wound:
"You are teacher Kurenai Yuhi, right? Sakura and Ya are already receiving treatment in the village. Shino is not with you?"
[He really came to support!]
Hearing Naruto mention the names of her subordinates, Kurenai Yuhi understood.
If he hadn't encountered it, he wouldn't have known the situation here.
"... We dispersed before, but Shino and the others should still be safe, at least the other party hasn't found them yet."
"Really, that's good. Because my companions and I came to find you separately. When we got here, I sensed you and came directly."
[Companion? Is it Kakashi? That would be great, if Kakashi is here...]
[No, if Kakashi is here, he will definitely not let his subordinates take the first action. He always takes the first step in such dangerous things... And there is such a long distance between Konoha and Land of Waves, how can a group of people get over here!]
[Naruto might have arrived alone through some special means, and the companion he mentioned might just be a bluff! It made the other party mistakenly think that there were companions coming, which caused their mentality problems. What an amazing young man, I almost didn't understand what he meant!]
Kurenai Yuhi thought for a while in silence, but Naruto was stunned, mistakenly thinking that she was seriously injured now, and asked quickly:
"The injuries you suffered..."
"It's just a minor injury, it doesn't matter at all! This guy is very good at hiding Assassination and Water Release, so let me..."
When Kurenai Yuhi heard this, he thought it was Naruto who asked him to fight the enemy with him.
Yes, after all, the opponent is not simple either.
She held Kunai tightly, braced herself, and prepared to cooperate with Naruto to escape.
However, Naruto stretched out his hand to block the way.
"You don't need to take action."
Naruto did not look back, his eyes stopped on Zabuza, and the vertical pupils under Fox Sage Mode showed a trace of confidence. "Leave it to me here."
"Have you finished chatting?"
Zabuza on the opposite side picked up Kubikiribōchō with one hand and smiled dumbly at Naruto:
"Kid, you don't think your bluff will work? It's better to invite that woman to come with you. Maybe you can still struggle for a while."
"You must know that showing off casually will only lead to your death early."
[Have you been seen through?]
Kurenai Yuhi's face changed.
Naruto, on the other hand, looked puzzled. "A bluff?"
"Oh, it's too pitiful to expose you. Just think what you said is true and continue to believe it before you die. You still have a few powerful companions who will come to save you soon."
Zabuza shook his head. This kid was too young and didn't even realize that his "lie" was full of loopholes.
Don't talk about yourself, even those Gato's Men who were scared out of their wits before would believe that they Konoha had really sent people to support them.
The time is too short. This kid cannot come from Konoha. There is a high probability that he was near here before.
After rushing over, I found that the enemy was too strong, so I told such useless lies.
It seems that he has figured out Naruto's "idea". Although Zabuza doesn't mind delaying the time, he has no interest in chatting with the dying person.
[Just in case, take this kid's life and pay it to Gato, let that woman escape for a few more days...]
"Water Release·Hidden Mist Technique!"
"Before I die, I will give you one last piece of advice. If you are still Ninja in your next life, don't give the weapon back to the other party easily."
Zabuza's figure was shrouded in fog again, and this time, the scope of the fog was much larger than before, covering almost the entire area, making it impossible to see even one's fingers.
Whether it is Kurenai Yuhi or a subordinate of Gato, or even Naruto, in Hidden Mist Technique it is impossible to see the surroundings clearly through the eyes.
Then even the footsteps could not be heard, and in the hazy mist, there was only the infinite excitement of Killing Intent.
Zabuza is indeed a master of Kirigakure. He was keenly aware that Naruto found out where he was before probably because of Killing Intent, so this time Killing Intent came directly from all directions.
The reason why he laid out the suspicion formation was to allow his plan to be implemented smoothly. After all, this Konoha brat was a Genin until he died, and he would definitely not be able to escape his execution!
There's no way that Konoha kunoichi doesn't know that, as long as she's not stupid, she will definitely run away.
"Really? Then I have to give you a piece of advice..."
However, in the mist, the voice of Naruto suddenly sounded. He stretched out one hand, and Chakra condensed into a ball of Azure Eyes and Spiral in his hand.
"Chakra visible to the naked eye!?"
Zabuza was startled. Suddenly, Naruto's figure disappeared in front of Zabuza's eyes.
Before he realized what was happening, a sharp pain came from his abdomen with enough force to knock him away!
Zabuza only felt a sweet sensation in his mouth, and then pain and weightlessness spread all over his body. His body was directly hit by the opponent's move and he rose into the air from the mist. With blood spilling from his mouth, he fell towards the sea to the side!
"Remember in the next life, don't use the weapons the enemy returns to you!"
Naruto directly kicked away Kubikiribōchō, who was knocked away before Zabuza could slash. Looking at the figure falling into the water, he chased after him!
"Mr. Zabuza!"
Bai Yizheng, who had been watching the battle on the sidelines, watched the Ninjutsu mist released by Zabuza completely dissipate. He realized that Zabuza was not a false shot, but had actually suffered a heavy blow. His expression changed greatly and he quickly followed.
And the Kubikiribōchō that was kicked away by Naruto slid right in front of Kurenai Yuhi.
Kurenai Yuhi also noticed that there was a black Spiral Mark on the handle of Kubikiribōchō.
