Uzumaki Naruto It Is!

Those snow-white legs, that slender waist, and those tempting...

With the surrounding mist swirling around, it created a hazy, dreamlike beauty.

Zabuza couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Even though he was a rock-solid straight man, he couldn't resist wanting to steal another glance.

The real Kakashi, seeing him like this, couldn't help but find it amusing.

If people outside knew about Zabuza's current state, who knows how much they'd laugh!

He put away the perfume and sighed softly, "This stuff really is amazing. When I get back, I'll have to scratch off another batch."

Then, he flashed a vicious look.

As an experienced ninja, he never had and never would consider letting any potential threat go.

He pulled a kunai from his ninja tool bag, slowly walked up to Zabuza, and let out a soft sigh.

"Blame yourself for picking the wrong opponent!"

With a swift strike, a hole was pierced through Zabuza's chest.

In an instant, a burst of heat gushed out.

But Zabuza seemed to feel no pain at all.

Before long.

He gradually lay down, and even when his blood had drained dry and he breathed his last, a lecherous grin still hung on his face.

Kakashi let out a long sigh.

He was suddenly curious about just how powerful this perfume really was.

He knew Zabuza's past all too well.

That was a demon who killed without blinking.

Even the rules of the Blood Mist Village could be changed because of him.

Yet even such a cold-blooded man could be completely bewitched by perfume.

It seemed that nothing from the scratch-off ticket shop should be taken lightly.

With Zabuza's death, the thick mist gradually dissipated.

On a tree not far away stood a young man in blue clothes wearing a mask.

He was Zabuza's subordinate—Haku.

Haku gently removed his mask, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes, and his delicate face twitched continuously.

Then, with a leap, silver needles glinting in his hand, he charged straight at Kakashi.

Kakashi retreated several steps.

But Haku didn't stop. He formed hand seals, and ice walls suddenly appeared.

"Ice Release? You're Haku!" Kakashi's eyes widened.

Earlier, he had heard that there was an Ice Release ninja named Haku in the Mist Ninja Anbu.

He had never failed on any mission.

His powerful Kekkei Genkai had ended the lives of many famous ninjas!

But...

There was also one piece of good news worth celebrating.

Despite Haku having a woman's face, he was actually a real man.

Kakashi grinned wickedly, pulled out the perfume from his bosom, and sprayed it wildly around himself again.

Haku, hiding inside the ice wall, watched his strange movements and couldn't help but furrow his brow.

"What exactly is he trying to do?"

After muttering to himself, he flashed out, raised his silver needles, and charged at Kakashi.

And Kakashi, without any worry, stood right in the middle of the fragrant mist, calmly waiting for his prey to come.

After passing through the perfume's range, Haku's Chakra suddenly surged.

Kakashi was stunned for a moment.

Wasn't this perfume supposed to target male ninjas? Why did the effect change with Haku?

He barely dodged the attack and quickly glanced at the perfume.

Sure enough, at the very bottom of the instructions, he spotted a line of small text.

"A bent man is equivalent to a woman. Users must discern carefully!"

"Boss, you screwed me over!" Kakashi shouted up to the sky.

At the same time, silver needles rained down from all directions, quickly turning him into a pincushion.

"You—you dared to kill Zabuza! I'll make you pay!"

From within the ice wall came Haku's hoarse roar.

Sasuke saw the dire situation and rushed forward, unleashing a Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu at the ice wall.

But Haku, empowered and far stronger now, had conjured an ice wall that wouldn't melt so easily.

He clenched his fists tightly, a wave of helplessness flooding his body.

Just then, Naruto came flying back from afar.

"Move aside, let me smash through it!" Naruto yelled with a grin.

Sakura and Sasuke followed the sound with their eyes.

They saw Naruto diving toward the ice wall at breakneck speed.

An instant later, a thunderous boom rang out, and the outer ice wall shattered outright.

Haku stared in shock, fury mingling with his astonishment.

For the first time ever, his Ice Release had been broken.

And the one who broke it was a yellow-haired brat!

Humiliation—utter humiliation!

He suddenly flashed out, three silver needles pinched between his fingers, aiming for Naruto's vital points.

A ghost of a smirk curled at the corner of Naruto's mouth.

He jabbed a finger downward, striking Haku's toe.

"Sunflower - Acupoint Sealing Technique!"

At those words, Haku's entire body went rigid.

Every inch of him stiffened from the inside out.

Naruto dusted off his hands and stood up.

"Surprised? Shocked? Pretty awesome, right?"

Sasuke and Sakura rushed in right behind him.

Seeing Kakashi covered in spikes, Sakura covered her mouth and wept.

Beside her, Sasuke's expression shifted.

His hand trembled as he raised a kunai.

He was a man burdened by a blood-soaked grudge.

One day, he would kill that man with his own hands.

But he had never killed anyone before.

He turned to look at Haku, now frozen in place, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and brought his arm down.

Blood splattered.

Haku crumpled into a pool of blood.

In his final moments, the paralysis lifted, and he crawled inch by inch into Zabuza's arms, closing his eyes with a faint smile.

Raditz stared at them in shock, a slow smile spreading across his lips.

"Quick, come to my house and get your wounds treated properly!" He hurried forward, hoisted Kakashi onto his back, and headed for his home.

With Zabuza dead, the remaining threats should be no trouble.

They arrived at the village, but before they could enter, Raditz's grandson came running up.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, Gato ran away!"

His childish voice rang like a bell, striking deep in Raditz's heart.

To connect the village with the outside world, they had struggled through hardship to build a bridge.

Halfway through construction, they ran into the tycoon Gato's obstruction.

Now that Gato had fled, the bridge could finally resume construction.

Raditz quickly took Kakashi home and asked someone to look after him.

Then he led the villagers to the bridge construction site.

Before leaving, he glanced back at Naruto and asked softly, "Kid, what's your name?"

"Uzumaki Naruto, that's who!" Naruto raised the broom in his hand and declared with some gravity.

Raditz turned and left.

Before long, Kakashi's injuries had healed, and even the bandages on his face were removed.

Raditz led them to the bridge, where from afar they could see four large characters carved above it: "Naruto Bridge!"

The group of four crossed the bridge amid farewells from Raditz and the villagers, and from the other side, they boarded a passenger ship bound for Konoha.

Konoha.

Invincible Scratch-off.

An old man with a pipe dangling from his mouth, looking somewhat kind and gentle, slowly walked in.

Wu Di's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Lord Third Hokage, please come in!"
