Konoha: The New Will of Fire

Peng!

There was a muffled sound, and the falling beheading sword was blocked by two crossed kunai in mid-air, and the fire was radiating.

Kakashi only felt a huge force transmitted to his hands through the kunai in his hand, and the terrifying power surged into his body like a tide. Kakashi could not control his body, and was pushed back by this powerful blow.

"You actually blocked my blow!"

Seeing that Kakashi only took a step back, Zabuza had a look of surprise on his face.

His decapitating sword was so powerful and heavy that even a ninja of the same combat power, unless he majored in Taijutsu, would not be able to block his slashing attack and could only take one step back.

As for the brat just now, he was the strongest family in Konoha, the Uchiha clan. It was not impossible for him to be able to withstand his slashing attack.

"Pfft..."

Struggling to stand up, Zuosuke opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt as if his hands were about to burst. The unprecedented pain was like countless ants biting him.

Zuosuke looked at Zabuza in front of him and was shocked: "This guy is so powerful."

Not only the strength, but also the opponent's speed was extremely fast. At that moment, if it weren't for the Sharingan, I wouldn't have been able to see through his movements.

At this moment, Kakashi steadied his steps and looked up at Zabuza. Kakashi didn't recognize it at first, but when he saw the decapitating sword in Zabuza's hand, Kakashi's eyes darkened slightly.

"I didn't expect it to be you, one of the Seven Original Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure Village, the S-class rebel ninja of Kirigakure, Kito Zabuza, and you behind these ninjas from Wave Country. I'm still wondering why you are attacking us. It makes sense now that it was Kirigakure’s rebel nin who launched the attack.”

Zabuza also recognized Kakashi at this moment, and his expression immediately changed, becoming extremely ugly.

Kakashi Hatake, a famous name in the ninja world, is known even to other ninja villages. He is definitely golden on the assassination lists of all major ninja villages. Moreover, this guy is very powerful and definitely has shadow-level strength.

Thinking of this, Zabuza could no longer control his emotions. Without any hesitation, Zabuza shouted loudly into the thick fog next to him.

"Bai, let's go!"

The moment the words fell, Zabuza quickly evacuated.

Assassinating Tazuna was a mission from Kado. Zabuza was a ninja, and even after becoming a rebel ninja, he still relied on missions to make a living.

But rebel ninjas are different from ninjas. Normal ninjas have to complete their tasks even if they risk their lives, but rebel ninjas don't have to care about this. All they care about is themselves.

Although the reward offered by Kado was very generous, it was not so rich that Zabuza was willing to risk his life.

"Want to leave? You haven't asked me if I agree yet."

Kakashi said indifferently, his figure flashed, and the Thunder Chakra was released. Stimulated by the Thunder Chakra, Kakashi's speed increased sharply, and he rushed towards Zabuza like a blue lightning.

At the same time, Kakashi ordered to Sasuke and Naruto: "Sakura, protect Mr. Tatsuna, Naruto and Sasuke, and find out the other ninja hiding in secret."

Zuosuke and Naruto heard Kakashi's order, and they rushed from the left and right towards the direction where Kakashi had just been attacked.

However, due to the thick fog surrounding them, Naruto and Zuosuke rushed into the thick fog and could not tell their direction at all.

Naruto looked around and could only barely see Zuosuke who was right next to him. He was still a shadow. This kind of battle where he could not see the enemy at all made Naruto very uncomfortable. He shouted to Zuosuke: "Zosuke, you Can the Sharingan see the enemy?"

"The fog is too thick to see clearly, and the thick fog is mixed with chakra, which interferes with my Sharingan's vision."

Zuosuke frowned slightly. The fog in front of him completely restrained his Sharingan, and the powerful insight of the Sharingan could not be used at all.

rest rest rest...

At this moment, dozens of kunai were shot out from the thick fog. Naruto and Zuosuke reacted very quickly. While avoiding the kunai, they rushed towards the attack direction in the thick fog. Unfortunately, the two of them missed the target again. There was just a thick fog and nothing.

Naruto looked around and couldn't help shouting: "Zosuke, didn't you say that your Sharingan is invincible? Why is it useless at all? Think of something quickly."

Hearing Naruto say that his Sharingan was useless, Zuosuke was instantly irritated. This feeling was like a man laughing at his small size.

Zuosuke said angrily: "Shut up, you idiot, what do you know? This is not a special mist, this is the Kirigakure Jutsu of Kirigakure Village, which is specially designed to restrain the Sharingan of our family."

After scolding Naruto, Zuosuke said regretfully: "It's a pity that I don't know the wind release ninjutsu. If I knew it, I could blow away these thick fogs."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly blew up. This strong wind was so powerful that it blew away all the dense fog that filled the surrounding area.

Zuosuke and Naruto were both stunned. They looked around and followed the direction of the strong wind. They saw Kakashi opening his mouth and spitting out strong winds, blowing away the thick fog around him.

As the thick fog blew away, Shiro and Zabuza were revealed, trying to escape with the help of the thick fog. The situation of the battle was instantly reversed.

Faced with this situation, Shiro did not hesitate at all. Wearing a Kirigakure Anbu mask, she stood in front of Zabuza and whispered: "Zabuza-sama, I will hold them back, you go first."

Shiro was a Kirigakure Anbu back then, and he knew very well the opponent they were facing now, what level of combat power Hatake Kakashi possessed, even if he and Zabuza-sama joined forces, they would not be able to defeat Hatake Kakashi.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to sacrifice him to buy Zabuza-sama enough time to escape. Anyway, his role has always been like this. It can make Zabuza-sama survive. This will be the most meaningful thing he has ever done.

However, when Zabuza heard this, he did not escape. Seeing that Zabuza-sama behind him did not make the slightest move, Haku became anxious: "Zabuza-sama, leave quickly. Every minute and every second you stay here is useless to you. It’s a huge danger.”

Zabuza finally spoke: "Do you think I have a chance to leave?"

With that said, Zabuza flashed his figure, passed Haku, and quickly rushed towards Kakashi without giving Haku a chance to react.

"I, Kijin Zabuza, am not someone who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Zabuza shouted loudly, and swung his decapitating sword towards Kakashi. This time Kakashi did not choose to greet him. He turned sideways to avoid Zabuza's attack, and took the opportunity to swipe Zabuza with the kunai in his hand.

Zabuza was worthy of being one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and his reaction was extremely fast. He quickly leaned back to avoid Kakashi's attack, and then quickly drew his sword and retreated.

"Kakashi Hatake is indeed a famous figure in the ninja world. If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, I would have been killed by you."

Hearing Zabuza's confident words, Kakashi suddenly persuaded: "Zabuza, do you think there is still a possibility for you to escape? You know very well that you are no match for me. If we really fight, you will definitely lose. "

Zabuza heard something in Kakashi's words, thought about it, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Kakashi suddenly didn't speak. He put away his kunai, looked at the battlefield next to him, and said something indifferently.

"If you want to fight now, I will accompany you, but I hope you can wait until the fighting over there is over. You will understand then."
