Kakashi does not understand.
Did Gekkō Raito's brain fill with water? Who was he to teach if not Zabuza?
This guy was a rogue ninja in the past, after all; was he not afraid of raising a tiger to cause trouble later?
Never mind; given the strength of a monster like Gekkō Raito, Zabuza probably would not dare to act presumptuously even if he trained for another hundred years.
"Clang!"
Kakashi took out a kunai and braced himself to block the Kubikiribōchō.
The moment they made contact, his wrist went numb, and he almost dropped the kunai.
What a terrifying monster strength!
Is this still that Zabuza who only knew how to play at the Kirigakure Assassination Technique?
The Kubikiribōchō had undergone magic modification by Gekkō Raito, increasing in weight by well over double, yet the user could not feel the weight and could instead recover stamina by absorbing blood.
Zabuza right now was a tireless perpetual motion machine!
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Several consecutive head-on slashes rattled Kakashi's hand webbing until it split open.
"This... this is Gekkō Raito's swordsmanship style!"
The more they fought, the more excited Zabuza became, whirling the great sword into an airtight defense.
"Consider yourself knowledgeable! Lord Gekkō Raito personally certified that my swordsmanship has already reached seventy or eighty percent of his mastery!"
Seventy or eighty percent?!
Ten thousand alpacas stampeded through Kakashi's mind.
What level of swordsmanship grandmaster was Gekkō Raito? To have seventy or eighty percent of his skill meant Zabuza could now walk sideways relying on swordsmanship alone, even without using ninjutsu.
Close-quarters hand-to-hand combat with a human mincing machine like this was simply courting death.
Kakashi hastily jumped backward to put some distance between them.
Right at that moment, Neji's anxious shout came over.
"Guy-sensei! Look out behind you!"
That
