The waves relentlessly crashed against his body, and an unprecedented tearing sensation caused Zabuza to let out a shrill scream.
Finally, after the Great Waterfall Technique disappeared.
Zabuza lay limp on the ground like a lump of mud, his body motionless.
Upon seeing this, Kakashi let out a long breath and his body suddenly relaxed.
He now only feels dizzy.
The combo he just used has left him severely mana-deficient!
however--
Just when everyone thought it was over, a sudden change occurred!
suddenly.
A sharp, piercing needle shot out from not far away.
With a soft "plop" sound, the senbon needles pierced straight into Zabuza's neck.
Zabuza, who had just been breathing, suddenly stopped breathing.
Just as Kakashi and the others were in shock, a masked person appeared in front of them.
He went up to Zabuza and then picked him up.
Then, addressing Kakashi and the others in a serious tone, he said:
"I am a pursuit ninja from Kirigakure."
"This Zabuza is a rogue ninja from Kirigakure."
He is now dead.
"I should go back and report!"
"Also, thank you for defeating Zabuza just now."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to kill him in one fell swoop!!"
(Please give me flowers~ Please give me votes~)
Chapter 38 Oh no! Newton is turning in his grave!
"The Hidden Mist Ninja's pursuit..."
Kakashi gave the masked boy in front of him a deep look, pondering to himself.
Zabuza, a rogue ninja from Kirigakure, is now being hunted down by Kirigakure ninjas. Everything makes sense, and everything seems so coincidental.
That's what he thought, but he always felt something was off.
But he couldn't say exactly where it was.
The masked boy remained calm despite Kakashi's continued stare.
But just then, a gaze fell upon him.
The masked boy sensed the source of the gaze and immediately looked over.
When he saw Naruto looking at him with a strange expression, his previously calm heart trembled slightly.
A sense of unease welled up inside me.
"????"
"Why...why is he looking at me like that?!"
Suddenly, his expression beneath the mask froze.
"Could it be... that I've been exposed?"
But soon, he immediately rejected the idea in his mind.
"This blond boy is meeting me for the first time; he couldn't possibly know who I am."
Thinking of this, his unease subsided, and without intending to linger any longer, he said directly, "I must return to Wuyin to report."
"Wait." Kakashi called out to the masked boy as he was about to leave.
"Is there anything else?" The masked boy's expression changed slightly as he asked in a calm tone.
Upon hearing this, Kakashi glanced at Zabuza, who remained motionless, and then said, "Let me confirm."
"Okay, sure." Upon hearing this, the masked boy did not refuse, but nodded readily in agreement.
Kakashi stepped forward and, after confirming several times, nodded in relief.
"Hmm, no breath."
The masked boy saw Kakashi but didn't notice anything amiss; a smug smile played on his lips beneath the mask.
But when he looked at Naruto, his smugness immediately vanished.
"Alright, I have to go now."
"Ah."
Kakashi nodded.
at the same time.
Naruto watched Haku's departing figure and shook his head inwardly.
"What a pity, I didn't get to see Bai's face. Maybe next time."
"Let's go." At this moment, Kakashi withdrew his gaze.
Then, he waved to the crowd.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and continued their journey into the Land of Waves.
evening.
Kakashi led the team to Tazuna's house.
After everyone finished their meal, they all went back to their rooms to rest.
After his battle with Zabuza, who had overdrawn his chakra, Kakashi rested for a few days.
During his days of recuperation, he kept thinking about the Hidden Mist ninja who had taken Zabuza away.
During one lunch, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Something's wrong!!"
His words instantly drew everyone's attention.
"Kakashi-sensei, what's wrong?"
Hearing this, Sakura Haruno, who was eating, tilted her head and asked curiously.
"shit!"
Kakashi's expression turned serious as he began to explain.
"We've been tricked! The person who took Zabuza away wasn't a Kirigakure pursuit ninja at all!"
"???"
Sakura Haruno: "???"
Naruto, on the other hand, remained calm.
"I've been thinking these past few days, how can there be such coincidences in this world?"
Kakashi said in a calm voice.
"We just defeated Zabuza, and then this guy claiming to be a Kirigakure (Hidden Mist) pursuit ninja suddenly appears. It all seems reasonable at first glance, but there are actually some loopholes!!"
"It's my fault for being too careless back then."
"Normally, after a pursuing ninja has killed a rogue ninja, he should take the rogue ninja's head with him."
"As for the corpse, it will be burned on the spot to prevent it from being used by someone with ulterior motives to extract secrets from the body using special ninjutsu."
"Think about it, what did that Hidden Mist ninja do in pursuit?"
At this moment, Sasuke, with a solemn expression, asked first, "Kakashi-sensei, so that means... Zabuza didn't die?!"
"Not bad." Kakashi nodded repeatedly.
After two days of rest, he has almost recovered.
Immediately, he stood up and said, "I believe that Zabuza will make a comeback soon."
Then, he looked at the rest of the team.
"From now on, you must intensify your training. In addition, I will teach you how to control chakra more precisely."
At this moment, Sasuke heard that he needed to intensify his training, which meant that his strength needed to be increased, and that he would be one step closer to killing that man.
Thinking of this, he was very happy.
He immediately stood up.
"Let's go, let's go cultivate."
Under a large tree.
Kakashi addressed the group, saying, "Your training program is very simple: climb trees!"
"Climb a tree???"
Sakura Haruno: "How can you train by climbing a tree?"
Naruto, on the other hand, was lost in thought; listening to lectures was like a lullaby to him.
At this moment, Kakashi looked at Team 7, nodded, and began to explain.
"When I say climbing a tree, I definitely don't mean it in the way you think."
"Now you need to concentrate your chakra in the soles of your feet before climbing the tree."
As he spoke, he walked up to the big tree in front of him and personally demonstrated for it.
A thought came to my mind.
