Kakashi and Zabuza stared at each other, as if they were the only two people in the room at that moment, and a tense atmosphere gradually spread.

"Sasuke, Naruto, Senba, form the swastika formation and keep Tazuna at a distance!"

Kakashi commanded, "You have no say in this battle!"

"Okay!" Chiba was the first to react, looking at Tazuna: "Let's go!"

Sasuke followed closely behind.

But just then, Naruto, who was completely unaware of the situation, jumped out.

"Wait, wait, what's going on? Wasn't it said that there were no ninja battles in C-rank missions? Where did this eyebrowless weirdo come from?"

Sasuke became annoyed: "Naruto, you idiot, is this the time to be worrying about these things?"

“But…” Naruto wanted to argue.

"Alright!" A delicate little hand patted his shoulder, stopping Naruto from speaking.

Feeling Naruto tremble beneath her palm, Chiba paused, then smiled gently and comforted him softly:

"It's alright. Kakashi-sensei is here, along with me and Sasuke. There's nothing to be afraid of."

"Qianyu..."

Looking at Chiba's stunningly beautiful face, Naruto felt a sudden sense of peace in his heart.

Yes, he didn't actually want to know these questions; he was just feeling uneasy and fearful because of the situation at the moment.

With Chiba's reassurance, the three members of Team 7 protected Tazuna and slowly retreated.

In the blink of an eye, the group had covered a distance of more than ten meters.

Seeing this, Zabuza withdrew his gaze and looked back at Kakashi, saying with a touch of emotion, "Kakashi, you seem to have a very excellent subordinate!"

"Ah, yes!" Kakashi's lips curled up unconsciously. "It's my good fortune to be Chiba's mentor!"

"Lucky...?"

As Zabuza pondered the word, a beautiful figure suddenly flashed before his eyes.

"really!"

It must be said that he strongly agrees with the idea of ​​luck.

But because of this, Zabuza revealed a sinister smile: "If she dies, you'll definitely be very sad, right?"

"What do you mean?" Kakashi's expression suddenly changed.

"It's nothing!" Zabuza suddenly jumped down from the big tree and landed on the stream beside him. He made a hand seal with one hand pointing to the sky and the other hand placed in front of his chest, activating the Hidden Mist Technique!

The eerie sound arrived along with the thick fog.

"My target was that old man, so why don't you guess why I let them go so readily?"

"That's because you have subordinates, and I have subordinates too!"

Zabuza said with great confidence: "And my subordinates are definitely stronger than yours!"

"Damn it!" Kakashi realized that Chiba's excessive reliability had given him the illusion that Team 7 could protect themselves, leading him to make the decision to have Team 7 form a defensive formation and retreat.

But how could he forget that no matter how reliable Chiba was, the three members of Team 7 were just newly graduated genin!

Kakashi immediately turned around and tried to walk away.

But then, a whooshing sound came from behind him.

Kakashi quickly ducked, the spinning Executioner's Blade grazing his head, strands of white hair drifting down his cheeks.

Kakashi turned his head, and in the not-too-thick fog, Zabuza's figure, still in a throwing posture, was clearly visible.

"Kakashi, your opponent is me!"

"Tsk, looks like I have no choice but to trust Qianyu and deal with you first!"

Kakashi pulled two kunai from his ninja tool bag and charged towards Zabuza!

In the thick fog, Kakashi and Zabuza engaged in a fierce battle.

What neither Kakashi nor Zabuza knew was that their words had already been heard by Chiba through the live stream on the small square!

"Zabuza also arranged for people to be stationed on our side?"

"where is it?"

Qianyu immediately became alert and warned the others, "Be careful, there might still be enemies!"

"Are there still enemies?" Sasuke's expression hardened, and he stood still, on guard, as did Naruto.

"Such keen perception! No wonder even Lord Zabuza praised you!"

Upon seeing this, a boy wearing a mask of a Kirigakure ANBU member stepped forward, his voice neither male nor female.

Such attire, such a voice.

If this isn't the early Naruto series, then who is it that left countless Naruto fans heartbroken—Mizuki Haku?

As for why Haku appeared at this moment instead of rescuing Zabuza after his car crashed, as in the original story?

A bitter smile appeared on Qianyu's lips.

Who else could it be because of? It's because of her!

In the original story, the Demon Brothers went first, but were defeated by Kakashi. This left Zabuza, who already had few subordinates, without the strength to fight alone, and had Haku act as his backup.

But now, the ghost brothers went first, but because they sensed that she was not someone to be trifled with, they abandoned their first attack.

So now Zabuza has four people on his side, which gives him ample strength, and the plan has naturally changed.

Chiyu herself never expected that her presence alone in the Land of Waves mission would cause the plot to become so chaotic!

"This is really..."

Qianyu shook her head, unsure of what to say.

However, you get used to the butterfly effect after experiencing it a few times.

Coincidentally, Chiba's chakra nature is Feng Shui, and she also has ideas about Ice Release.

It would be good to be able to fight against Mizuki Haku sooner.

Thinking of this, Qianyu took two steps forward to meet Mizuki Haku, "And who are you?"

Mizuki Shiro shook her head, her tone calm: "Who I am is not important. What's important is, can you hand over the uncle behind you to me?"

Mizuki Haku extended his hand to the group, as if inviting them: "Leave now, and no one will get hurt!"

Mizuki Shiro is very confident.

Or rather, it would be strange if he didn't have such confidence, given that he might be the last remaining member of the Snow Clan in the world.

However, just because you are noble as the Snow Clan, does that mean I, the Uchiha, am not noble?

"Heh, what a big mouth!" Sasuke was enraged by Haku's words: "Then why don't you try it!"

“That’s right, that’s right!” Naruto shouted from the side, “A coward like you, hiding your face and not daring to show it, I’ll knock you flying with one punch!”

"Is that so!" Looking at the energetic Naruto and Sasuke, a faint smile appeared on his pretty face under the white mask, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Unfortunately, your opponent is not me!"

"What do you mean?" Naruto was taken aback.

The next second, Sasuke's furious shout rang out.

"Naruto, watch out!"

Naruto looked around blankly.

But then a chain with sharp blades suddenly attacked, bringing him and Tazuna into the attack range!

Because their attention was diverted by Haku, neither Naruto nor Sasuke had time to react.

Qianyu was about to set off to rescue them.

At the same time, a figure appeared in an instant, wielding a sharp skewer and thrusting it at her!

"Your opponent is me!"
