Naruto: Immortal Spirit

"Oh!"

Not long after, a crisp sound came from the thick fog, and the sound of swords clashing seemed to cause ripples throughout the fog.

Akihamaru's whole body was like a sharp sword unsheathed, but after failing to hit it with one blow, he turned back and rushed towards Zabuza at high speed again.

"Good come!"

It was only then that Zabuza seemed to be a little more serious, observing the noise around him attentively, and the long sword in his hand also glowed with green light.

"I didn't expect that I still have some real abilities..."

"Ding!"

Kirigakure was like being pierced, revealing Akiha Maru's long and thin sword, which seemed to be condensed to the extreme, and seemed to be a bit sharper. The moment they collided again, the two looked at each other and could both notice it. to the other party's difficulty.

"Sure enough, you live up to your reputation and you are very strong..."

The Silent Killing Technique is not a unique secret technique, but it is Zabuza's best skill. He hides in the thick fog before taking action, hiding all fluctuations until the prey reveals its flaw, and kills it with one blow.

After the two moves collided, the entire battlefield fell into silence again, and there was no more sound.

"Akihabara..., it's really surprising..."

"It would be a pity to kill you..."

Watching the movements around him, Zabuza spoke slowly, as if he wanted to arouse Akihamaru to move, but no matter how he spoke, no one responded.

Zabuza hummed softly and said nothing, holding his breath and listening to every move around him.

As time passed, the two seemed to play a scary game of hide-and-seek in the fog.

"It just seems that the art of Kirigakure has not been mastered yet, and it is not as good as your articulation..."

There seemed to be a slight movement in his ears, and a smile gently appeared on Zabuza's face. The long knife in his hand instantly cut through the mist like a dark stream of light.

What surprised him was that Akiha Maru, who had been discovered, dodged his attack like a fish. He struck first, and a sword beam went straight to his throat.

"Moon Shadow!"

Akihabara's figure seemed to have transformed into countless shapes in an instant. The figures made it difficult to tell the difference between the real and the real, but they all stabbed horizontally with the sword. The stunning sword light seemed to pass through the void and hit Zabuza's neck. On the head.

Zabuza just took a step back, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the black sword was slashed horizontally, as if he was preparing to defeat skill with force.

Akihamaru's eyes were a bit sharp, and he turned his wrist suddenly, and the clones that were scattered everywhere appeared in an instant, and the sword light was layered, like a rushing wave, spreading towards Zabuza.

"Water escape……"

I don't know why, but just looking at the sword light in front of me, Zabuza can think of water escape ninjutsu in his mind. The guy in front of him, who is not too old, seems to have integrated the essence of water escape into the sword light.

His eyes sparkled, this guy really gave him a lot of surprises.

"I'm a little reluctant to kill you..."

Zabuza suppressed his contempt, raised his body from the ground, dodged the sword light, clasped his hands together, and countless water whips seemed to be born from the void, and struck Akiha Maru like a big net.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The water whips were overwhelming and seemed to shake the entire training ground.

"Water Escape · Instant Water!"

Taking advantage of Zabuza's water escape, Akihabara activated the Shun Shui Jutsu and moved above the water. His figure was extremely fast. Although he didn't know when Zabuza sealed the prepared ninjutsu, it did not hurt him. Every cent.

"The fog cleared!"

The impact of the ninjutsu gradually dispersed the condensed mist, and the Kirigakure jounin in the stands suddenly became interested again, gathered together and looked at the battlefield.

"Water Escape · Breaking the Torrent!"

The collision of taijutsu is just an appetizer. For the people of Kirigakure, water escape seems to be the special skill. Akiha Maru formed seals with his hands, and two huge streams of water beside him were like swimming dragons, rushing towards Zabubu. cut.

"Is it better to escape than water..."

"Then let me take a good look at how powerful your water escape is..."

Zabuza floated back, and the moment he landed on the ground, two water dragons rose from the ground.

The water dragon cut across the sky, as powerful as covering the sky. The two water escape ninjutsu collided, and the roar resounded throughout the Kirigakure Village. The massive water flow turned sharply and seemed to swallow everything. The surrounding trees and jungles were constantly attacked, and the training ground Terrifying ravines also appeared on the ground, all of which were bombarded by water falling from the sky.

Zabuza looked at Akihamaru who seemed to be out of breath, his eyes also showed some appreciation, and he looked at him quite solemnly: "You are really powerful, you can actually block the water dragon bullet... …”

"If you can survive, you can become my subordinate..."

"I don't want to become a subordinate who loses..."

Although it seemed that the chakra consumption was huge, the panting Akihamaru had no intention of surrendering. He just glanced at Zabuza lightly and continued to form seals in his hands.

"Then you...just die..."

Zabuza stepped forward fiercely, and sharp edges suddenly burst out all over his body. The long sword in his hand came in an instant, and like an overwhelming sword force, he rushed towards Akiha Maru. The black sword light seemed to become extremely terrifying.

"Hey, it's really amazing..."

Akihabara seemed to have no fear. The long sword in his hand was flying in front of him like heavy rain. Light and shadow intertwined. Countless sword lights seemed to spread out infinite rays of light, piercing so hard that the human eye could not look directly.

"Dance of Sunlight!"

When the swords collide, countless streams of light seem to burst out, as charming and dangerous as fireworks.

Akihamaru made a move, as if he no longer had any strength. Fortunately, he blocked Zabuza's attack. He smiled softly and waved his hand towards the high platform.

"No more fighting, admit defeat..."

Zabuza did not continue to attack, but looked at the back of the figure slowly walking out of the training ground, squinting his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

For a few days, Kato Oo and Orochimaru stayed behind closed doors to finalize all the details of the Fuzo Reincarnation one by one. The most difficult part of the research work is always the technical problems, and as long as the most difficult part is overcome, the rest of the work will be done. There is no longer any obstacle.

And naturally he would not work too hard for Orochimaru Haku, Kato Ou also proposed his own reward...

"You want...the tailed beast's chakra?"

Kato Oo's voice was not loud, but it made Orochimaru couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly and looked at Kato Oo with some scrutiny.

"Xujun seems to be bolder than I thought..."

"Are Orochimaru-sensei scared?"

"Hmph... Xujun still doesn't seem to understand what kind of strength it takes to become the shadow of a village, even if he is old now..."

Orochimaru sneered and looked at Kato Oo with a hint of mockery.

"Kyuubi? Orochimaru-sensei is bolder than I thought..., but I'm not arrogant enough yet..."

"What Orochimaru-sensei probably doesn't know yet is that your good friend, Lord Jiraiya, once fought against the Eight-Tails and cut off one of its tentacles..."

"It seems that he has never shown off such a 'brilliant' record to you..."

Although Orochimaru didn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations, Kato Ou also felt a faint complex emotion appear in Orochimaru's eyes.

"I heard that Ou-kun is very valued by Namikaze Minato. It seems that the rumors are not false at all..."

"perhaps……"

"Perhaps after Orochimaru-sensei leaves, I still need to rely on his breath to survive... If there is any mistake, it is best to throw it all on Orochimaru-sensei's head, so maybe I can live longer. "

"A weak guy like me will naturally have to live quietly..."

Orochimaru looked at Kato Oo and couldn't help but chuckle twice, but then he looked a little inexplicably excited and didn't speak for a while.

"Xujun..."

"Seems a lot more cheerful..."

Kato Oo was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Orochimaru, but Orochimaru's still calm expression prevented Kato Oo from showing any emotion.

"I will go find Jiraiya. I hope you didn't lie to me..."

"Of course not..."

"The characteristic of tailed beasts is that they will be resurrected after death, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that their consciousness will not be lost at all..."

"I wonder if Mr. Orochimaru has ever thought about what kind of power preserves their consciousness during the blank period of their death..."

"Perhaps, it can make up for the possible soul loss caused by the reincarnation of the corpse..."

With that said, Kato Oo threw the information he had prepared to Orochimaru.

"About tailed beasts, all my guesses may need to be supplemented by Teacher Orochimaru..."

Kato O adjusted his cloak and was about to leave the laboratory, but Orochimaru, who was flipping through a few pages, suddenly stopped him from leaving.

"An S-level mission requires you to do it..."

"A person who is about to leave still performs his duties for Konoha. Teacher Orochimaru is really a serious person."

Kato Oo glanced at Orochimaru a little strangely, as if he thought of something, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"I will get the eight-tails chakra. As for the other thing you want, you may need to get it yourself... This mission will give you enough time and a suitable identity to find..."

"It's really a mission that comes to your door..." Raising his eyes slightly, Kato Oo looked at Orochimaru with a little strangeness.

"The Kirigakure Village is holding a selection ceremony for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen... Some people seem to be unable to sit still and want to intervene in the war in the Kirigakure Village..."

There was no emotion or anger in Orochimaru's voice, but the disdain in it could be easily detected.

"Is this a deal between you and Danzo?"

"It's also a deal with you..."

After glancing at Kato Ou slightly, Orochimaru had no intention of hiding anything. He also roughly understood what the last piece of the strength puzzle that Kato Ou needed was.

He knew he wouldn't refuse.

"not enough……"

"Oh?"

"The psychic scroll of Longdi Cave..."

"Can……"

Putting the mission scroll into his arms, Kato Oo slowly opened the door. He finally remembered what he had forgotten - his three subordinates.

The sunshine was a bit dazzling, but accompanied by the wind from the coast, it filled Kato O's face. He slowly turned his head to look in the direction of Konoha, and a dangerous smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Kirigakure, I'm looking forward to it..."
