Those snow-white, beautiful legs, that slender waist, and that enticing...
Together with the mist swirling around him, it created a hazy sort of beauty.
Zabuza could not help swallowing.
Even though he was a straight-as-steel man, he could not resist taking a few more looks.
Kakashi, watching him in reality, could not help finding it amusing.
If the people outside saw the state Zabuza was in now, who knew how hard they would laugh!
He put away the perfume and sighed softly. "This thing really is miraculous. Once I get back, I need to scratch another batch."
Then, a vicious look appeared in his eyes.
As a seasoned ninja, he had never spared, nor ever considered sparing, any enemy who could become a threat.
He pulled a kunai from his ninja tool bag, slowly walked up to Zabuza, and sighed softly.
"Blame yourself for choosing the wrong opponent!"
With a swift motion, the blade plunged down, piercing a hole through Zabuza's chest.
In an instant, a scorching stream gushed forth.
Yet Zabuza seemed not to feel any pain at all.
Not long after.
He gradually collapsed. Even when his blood had drained away and he breathed his last, a lecherous smile still hung on his face.
Kakashi let out a long sigh.
He was suddenly curious about just how powerful this perfume was.
He knew Zabuza's past very well.
That man was a demon who killed without batting an eye.
Even the rules of the Bloody Mist Village had changed because of him.
Yet even such a cold-blooded person had been utterly captivated by the perfume.
It seemed he could not afford to underestimate anything produced by the Invincible Scratch-off shop!
As Zabuza died, the thick mist gradually dispersed.
On a tree not far away stood a young man dressed in blue and wearing a mask.
He was Zabuza's subordinate—Haku.
Haku gently removed his mask. A trace of savagery appeared at the corners of his eyes, while his delicate face twitched continuously.
Then, he leaped forward. Silver needles flashed in his hand as he charged straight at Kakashi.
Kakashi retreated several steps in succession.
But Haku did not slow down in the slightest. He formed hand seals, and walls of ice suddenly appeared one after another.
"Ice Release? You're Haku!" Kakashi's eyes widened.
Earlier, he had heard that among the Mist Ninja Anbu was an Ice Release ninja named Haku.
Whenever he went out on missions, he had never failed.
His immensely powerful Kekkei Genkai had claimed the lives of many renowned ninja!
However...
There was also something here that Kakashi could be thankful for.
Though Haku had the appearance of a woman, he was undeniably a man.
With a wicked grin, Kakashi pulled out the perfume from his clothes and sprayed it fiercely around himself again.
Haku hid behind an ice wall. Watching Kakashi's strange actions, he could not help frowning.
"What exactly is he trying to do?"
After muttering that, he flashed out directly, raising his silver needles as he rushed toward Kakashi.
As for Kakashi, he stood calmly amid the fragrant mist without the slightest worry, quietly waiting for his prey to come to him.
The moment Haku passed through the perfume's area of effect, his Chakra suddenly surged.
Kakashi froze for a moment.
Wasn't this perfume meant specifically for male ninja? Why had its effect changed when it came to Haku?
He barely evaded an attack and hurriedly glanced at the perfume.
Sure enough, at the bottom of the description, he saw a line of small print.
"Gay men are equivalent to women. Users, please distinguish carefully!"
"Boss, you set me up!" Kakashi cursed at the sky.
At the same time, silver needles fell from every direction, quickly turning him into a pincushion.
"You dared to kill Mr. Zabuza! I'll make you pay with your life!"
Haku's heart-wrenching roar came from within the ice walls.
Seeing that things were going badly, Sasuke hurried forward and used Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu against the ice walls.
But after being strengthened, how could Haku, whose power had increased greatly, have his ice walls melted so easily?
He clenched his fists tightly as a feeling of helplessness filled his entire body.
Just then, Naruto flew back from afar.
"Get out of the way! Let me smash through it!" Naruto shouted with a grin.
Sakura and Sasuke turned toward the voice.
They saw Naruto diving toward the ice walls at tremendous speed.
In the blink of an eye, a loud boom rang out, and the outer ice wall shattered outright.
Haku turned his gaze toward him. Amid his shock, a trace of anger rose within him.
For the first time ever, his Ice Release had been broken through.
And the one who had broken it was a blond brat!
Humiliation—an enormous humiliation!
He flashed out fiercely, three silver needles held between his fingers as he stabbed toward Naruto's vital points.
A ghostly smile curled across Naruto's lips.
He jabbed one finger downward, striking Haku right on the toe.
"Sunflower - Acupoint Sealing Technique!"
As soon as the words fell, Haku could no longer move.
His entire body stiffened from the inside out.
Naruto patted his hands and stood up.
"Surprised? Didn't expect that, did you? I'm awesome, right?"
Sasuke and Sakura rushed in right after him.
Seeing Kakashi covered in needles, Sakura covered her mouth and cried in fright.
Beside her, Sasuke's expression changed.
His trembling hand raised a kunai.
He was someone burdened by a blood-deep vengeance.
One day, he would personally kill that man.
But he had not killed anyone yet.
He turned to look at Haku, who was already immobilized. Gritting his teeth, he shut his eyes and brought his arm down.
Blood splashed.
Haku fell into a pool of blood.
Before he died, his paralysis was released. He crawled bit by bit into Zabuza's arms and closed his eyes with a smile.
Raditz stared at them in shock, a smile slowly rising at the corner of his mouth.
"Quick, come to my house and recover properly!" He hurried over, carried Kakashi on his back, and headed toward his home.
Now that Zabuza had been killed, the remaining people should no longer pose a threat.
They made their way into the village. Before they could even enter, Raditz's grandson came running over.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, Gato ran away!"
His childish voice was like heavenly music, striking deep into Raditz's heart.
To connect the village with the outside world, they had gone through countless hardships to build a bridge.
The bridge had only been half completed when they were obstructed by the wealthy Gato.
Now that Gato had fled, the bridge should be able to resume construction.
Raditz hurriedly took Kakashi home and asked someone to look after him.
Then he led the villagers back to the bridge construction site.
Before leaving, he looked back at Naruto and asked softly, "Child, what is your name?"
"I am Uzumaki Naruto!" Naruto raised the broom in his hand and answered with some seriousness.
Raditz turned and left.
In the blink of an eye, Kakashi's injuries had recovered, and even the bandages on his face had been removed.
Raditz brought them to the bridge. From afar, they saw four large characters carved above it: "Naruto Bridge!"
The group of four crossed to the other side of the bridge amid Raditz and the others' farewells, where they boarded a passenger ship returning directly to Konoha.
Konoha.
Invincible Scratch-off.
An elderly man with a pipe hanging from his mouth and a kindly appearance slowly walked in.
Wu Di's eyes lit up, and he hurried forward to greet him.
"Third Hokage, please come in!"
