Zabuza was utterly enraged. He charged at Naruto, wielding his Executioner's Blade, and with chilling killing intent, raised the blade high above him, bringing it down with deadly force.
His speed was incredible; the attack was sudden, and he was beside Naruto almost instantly, giving no one time to react.
"Watch out!" Sakura screamed in terror, worried that Naruto would be struck.
However,
just as the Executioner's Blade was a hair's breadth away from Naruto, Naruto miraculously dodged to the side at the last second, then raised his right hand and flicked the blade with his index finger.
"Fool."
Zabuza's eyes gleamed with mockery at Naruto's action.
He was about to slash horizontally when, at that very moment, Naruto's index finger struck the Executioner's Blade. *
Clang! *
A clear, melodious sound, like the vibration of a wind chime, echoed, but Zabuza's eyes were filled with horror.
A terrifying force had surged from the Executioner's Blade, the recoil almost causing him to lose his grip on the weapon.
Zabuza was truly shocked. He never expected that this brat's flick of the finger would possess such power.
Whoosh!
Kunai suddenly flew from the side, and Kakashi's figure flashed, charging forward like a dragon.
In an instant, Kakashi and Zabuza engaged in close combat, quickly moving into the dense fog.
Seeing Kakashi disappear, Sasuke and Sakura were anxious and wanted to help, but they couldn't even see the battle clearly, only able to determine the location based on the sounds. Naruto,
on the other hand, leisurely watched everything, absorbing experience points.
"Naruto, is your senses that strong? You can pinpoint the enemy's location even in such dense fog?" Sakura couldn't help but ask. "
Of course, it's nothing. You wouldn't understand how enjoyable it is for a sensory ninja to observe battle. You should take them with you."
Naruto said, then suddenly remembered something, looking at Sasuke with a half-smile.
"Sasuke, I have a way to let you see the battle scene, and even help you."
"What way?"
Sasuke was taken aback, and also became curious. After all, he felt useless if he couldn't help, and now that there was a way, he naturally didn't want to give up.
"It's very simple. Just use the Wind Release: Flower Scattering Dance you learned before to disperse the thick fog." Naruto chuckled.
"Wind Release: Flower Scattering Dance? Impossible, I will never use a woman's ninjutsu." Sasuke refused with a dark expression.
"This is your own choice. If you can't even help with this little bit, are you sure you're a ninja?"
"I!"
Sasuke's face darkened even more, and he even regretted not learning Wind Release: Great Breakthrough before. Although it was a C-rank ninjutsu, it could at least disperse some of the thick fog.
But it was too late to learn it now, because the battle was very intense. If the enemy suddenly attacked Tazuna, he wouldn't have time to defend himself, so Sasuke was caught in a dilemma.
After a brief thought, Sasuke decided to use ninjutsu. After all, he was a ninja, so he took a few steps forward with a dark face and slowly raised his hands.
Wind Release: Flower Scattering Dance!
A swirling vortex surrounded Sasuke, spreading the thick fog in all directions. Along with the vortex and fog, beautiful flower petals drifted in the air.
Sasuke, at the very center, appeared somewhat feminine in the reflection of the petals, causing Sakura beside him to swoon.
"So beautiful," Sakura exclaimed.
"Shut up!"
Sasuke's face darkened further upon hearing the praise. He was already annoyed by the woman's ninjutsu, and now this "so beautiful" comment was even more infuriating than Naruto's.
Frustrated, Sasuke turned to look around and found that the fog had dispersed considerably, widening his field of vision. This offered him some comfort.
"Not bad, not bad, the fog has dispersed somewhat, but the area is still small. You need to use it a few more times," Naruto encouraged. "
Hmph, I don't need your reminder, I know what to do,"
Sasuke said, still somewhat sullen, but he raised his hands and formed hand seals again. The next second, a whirlwind roared, and numerous flower petals drifted around his hair, adding to his beauty.
"Tsk tsk, if he wore women's clothes."
Naruto suddenly thought of a picture he'd seen in his past life—a picture of Sasuke as a woman.
If he really dressed like that, he'd be quite a pretty girl, after all, he's very handsome, and with a little dressing up, he wouldn't be inferior to a woman.
[Experience Points +1]
"Never mind, let's just watch the battle. The fog has cleared up."
Naruto muttered, looking at the newly appeared experience points, then turned to look at the forest on his right.
There, the masked "Haku" was hiding, ready to provide support at any time.
Naruto didn't expose him, but continued watching Kakashi and Zabuza's battle.
These two were very strong, and importantly, their experience points were slowly filling up as they fought, clearly indicating that they had reached a crucial point in the plot.
"Look, Kakashi-sensei is gradually gaining control of the attack rhythm, and that Zabuza ninja seems a bit emotionally unstable, making him seem very passive in the battle."
Sasuke quickly analyzed after seeing the battle scene clearly.
"Why? Why is Zabuza emotionally unstable?" Sakura asked, puzzled.
"It must be because Naruto angered him. He just said that ninja had body odor."
Sasuke glanced at Naruto, impressed by his ability to infuriate people.
"I see. It seems that before future battles, letting Naruto anger the enemy will make it easier for us to win," Sakura suggested.
"Heh."
Naruto smiled but didn't speak. Zabuza was a true ninja; how could he be thrown off balance by a few words?
The reason he was on the defensive was more because his hand was numb from the flick of his finger. Naruto felt that Zabuza must be feeling quite uncomfortable with that kind of force.
Moreover, Zabuza was clearly on guard, worried about a sneak attack.
However, if things continued like this, Zabuza would undoubtedly lose. Naruto considered whether to prolong the battle.
He didn't want Kakashi to defeat Zabuza so quickly, otherwise how would he gain experience points?
So he decided to join the battle and deliberately disrupt it to extend the fight.
Without hesitation, Naruto charged forward, shouting, "I'll help!"
"Help?"
Zabuza, who was in the middle of a battle, frowned upon hearing this, feeling the numbness in his right hand, and then looked at Kakashi, who was evenly matched with him.
Without a word, Zabuza abruptly broke away from the battle, disappearing in a few leaps.
"This..."
Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi stared speechlessly at the scene, finding it incredibly dramatic. A life-or-death battle, and suddenly he'd run away?
This reversal was too fast! Was he really here to kill someone? Was he really here to eliminate Tazuna?
The group was at a loss for words, simply assuming the other was overly cautious.
Only Naruto was somewhat amused and exasperated, finally shaking his head and deciding to find Zabuza and continue earning experience points.
Meanwhile, atop a large tree,
Zabuza moved rapidly, stopping only after confirming it was safe.
Whoosh!
Haku suddenly appeared, looking at Zabuza with some confusion. "Lord Zabuza, what happened? Why did you suddenly leave?"
"I encountered a very strange brat, and I'm not quite sure what's wrong with him," Zabuza said, raising his right hand with a serious expression.
"Not sure? Lord Zabuza, could you tell me?" Haku asked curiously.
The fact that even the mighty Zabuza could look serious with such a brat really piqued Haku's curiosity.
