It's better to be a rebel ninja than to be a Hokage

"Hatake Kakashi, you are a conspicuous existence that cannot be ignored in the assassination list of the Anbu of ninjas in various countries."

Zabuza looked down at Kakashi and expressed his recognition of his strength: "If the enemy is you, then the defeat of Brother Oni is natural."

Kakashi stared at Zabuza. Although he had expected that after the demon brothers, the next attacker would be a Jonin, he did not expect it to be a famous guy like Momochi Zabuza.

This is not an opponent that can be defeated immediately.

Now the trouble...

Kakashi not only has to protect Dazna's safety, but also has to prevent Zabuza from shifting the target of the battle from him to the three members of Team 7 in order to restrain him.

This is also the reason why Kakashi directly used the Sharingan.

Although Naruto and his friends are very outstanding among the Genin.

However, they were involved in the battles between jonin, and as genin, they were a burden in themselves.

"I didn't take care of those two guys. It was my subordinates who took care of them."

After thinking a lot in an instant, Kakashi opened his mouth to respond to Zabuza's words.

"Oh?"

After hearing what Kakashi said, Zabuza showed a little curiosity.

Zabuza glanced at the three members of Team 7 who were protecting Dazna in a defensive formation, as if he wanted to judge with his own eyes the truth of the information that the young Genin had eliminated the Chunin.

Zabuza raised his eyes slightly and moved his gaze, an action that was almost imperceptible to ordinary people.

However, Kakashi's left eye's Sharingan has the characteristic of "observation eye", which can see through the flow of chakra and the slightest movements of others.

Zabuza slightly shifted his attention to Team 7, but Kakashi still noticed such a subtle flaw.

Kakashi's rich practical experience allowed him to seize this fleeting opportunity to attack!

A sharp and piercing thunder suddenly resounded behind Zabuza.

Zabuza's pupils shrank suddenly. Kakashi was still in his sight...

Shadow clone? !

The answer came to my mind instantly.

Zabuza quickly turned around, ready to meet Kakashi's sneak attack.

But his sight happened to meet that bright red Sharingan——

In addition to being an "observation eye", the Sharingan also has the properties of a "hypnotic eye".

The eye-type illusion performed by Kakashi using the Sharingan stunned Zabuza for a second.

It was this crucial second that allowed Zabuza, who could have avoided Kakashi's attack, to be pierced through the chest by the blue lightning in Kakashi's hand!

With just one strike, the battle between the two jonin, Kakashi and Zabuza, came to an end!

"What kind of ninjutsu is this!?"

Sasuke stared at the lightning in Kakashi's hand in disbelief. He had never seen such a powerful ninjutsu.

"I've never seen this kind of ninjutsu in a book...Kakashi-sensei, is it really that powerful?"

Sakura couldn't suppress the shock in her heart.

Even she, who had memorized all the knowledge in the ninja school textbooks and got full marks in theory, didn't know the ninjutsu that Kakashi performed.

Naruto's reaction wasn't as big as Sasuke and Sakura's.

With the memories of his previous life, he knew very well that the blue lightning in Kakashi's hand that made a sharp and piercing sound was Kakashi's self-created S-level ninjutsu, Raikiri.

But Naruto still frowned.

He frowned not because he was impressed by Kakashi's strength, but because he felt troubled by the fact that Zabuza was not dead.

Ever since he set foot on the land of Wave Country, Naruto has been maintaining the use of the Wind-Care Dawn Technique.

It was not until Kakashi began to use the Sharingan that Naruto stopped using the Wind Caressing Dawn Technique in order to prevent Kakashi from discovering the chakra in the wind through the "observation eye" feature of the Sharingan.

But before that, Naruto had already sensed that the Zabuza Momochi who appeared in front of them was not his real self at all.

What Kakashi "killed" was just a clone of Zabuza...

And the two chakras hiding in the dark are the real Zabuza and - Haku.

"Damn it!"

Kakashi looked at the abnormal movement of the lightning that pierced through Zabuza's chest and discovered the problem.

The next moment, Zabuza's body turned into clear water and fell to the ground.

"Yes, it's a water clone!"

The real Zabuza appeared behind Kakashi who was performing Raikiri, and answered in a very joking tone.

The kunai pierced the throat of Kakashi who was performing Raikiri, and the next moment, Kakashi also turned into smoke and dissipated.

Everything that just happened seemed like a dream. Zabuza still used the big sword that was chopped on the tree trunk as a foothold, looking down at Kakashi on the ground.

"...You used up a lot of chakra with that move just now... What a pity, Hatake Kakashi."

Zabuza stared at Kakashi, no longer dividing his attention between the three members of Team 7 behind Kakashi and Dazna who was being protected by them.

"It seems that in order to kill that old guy, I have to get rid of you first."

After making a judgment, Zabuza used the technique of instant body movement to disappear from the tree.

Along with Zabuza, the huge sword also disappeared.

When Zabuza appeared again, he had put the sword back on his back and was standing on the water not far away.

One of his hands was raised straight up, and the other was placed in front of his chest, with both hands making hand seals.

Ninja technique: Kirigakure no Jutsu.

Thick white fog suddenly appeared around Zabuza, and the wind blew at this time, expanding the range of the fog.

In just a moment, thick fog enveloped Kakashi and the others.

And Zabuza, who was originally standing on the water, disappeared...

No! This description is not accurate either!

It was more like Zabuza himself had turned into the thick fog, and became the fog itself!

"listen!"

Kakashi stared at the place where Zabuza disappeared, and said to Naruto and the others: "This is the silent killing technique that Zabuza Momochi is good at."

"You three must stay focused and alert. If you let your guard down for even a second, you'll be killed by him who may be hiding somewhere in the fog!"

While Kakashi was speaking, the fog became thicker and thicker.

"You know my methods very well, Kakashi."

Zabuza's voice came from the fog, sometimes far away, sometimes near. It was clearly just one person's voice, but the voice seemed to come from all directions in the fog.

"In that case, you should also know what kind of attack I will make next, right?"

"Heart!"

"throat!"

"neck!"

"lung!"

"..."

Zabuza exerted enormous pressure on everyone in the fog with his terrifying words.

He was only halfway through his words when he suddenly stopped talking.

The entire thick fog returned to the natural tranquility.

Everyone's tension was raised to the highest point!

Kakashi immediately formed seals with his hands!

"Sasuke, Sakura!"

At the same time, Naruto shouted loudly, alerting the two people around him.

"Let's start with you little brats!"

This time, Zabuza's voice became extremely clear.

Sasuke and Sakura were both shocked. Zabuza actually came behind the three of them silently.

Zabuza swung the sword in his hand high, and in the next moment he would kill all three members of Team 7!

"Don't even think about it!"

Kakashi appeared in front of Zabuza, clamped Zabuza's sword-wielding hand, and stabbed the entire kunai into Zabuza's kidney.

However, what flowed out of Zabuza's wound was not red blood, but water!

This Zabuza is another water clone!

The real Zabuza appeared behind Kakashi.
