Naruto: Inheriting the Legacy of a Person Who Traveled Through Time

Two days have passed since they encountered the demon brothers, and the group is now close to the border of the Land of Fire, not far from the Land of Waves, the destination of their mission.

Noticing the grass swaying beside the road, Naruto casually threw a kunai, which embedded itself deeply into a large tree. Below it lay a snow-white rabbit.

That's... a snow rabbit?

Seeing the rabbit twitching incessantly, Kakashi's eyes showed a thoughtful expression.

Only during the relatively short days of winter do snowshoe hares turn white to better camouflage themselves in the snow and avoid predators. Now, in the sweltering summer, wild snowshoe hares cannot possibly be entirely white; only captive-bred snowshoe hares will grow white fur.

The Land of Water has a tradition of raising snow rabbits as substitutes, which means that the enemy is already nearby.

Kakashi appeared to be standing still, but his senses had expanded to their maximum range as he tried to find the enemy's trail.

Is it coming?

Zabuza, the demon who fought the Sixth Hokage to a standstill, easily defeated two future saviors, and whose achievements rival those of Kaguya Otsutsuki, is about to make his appearance!

Tetsuya became wary and subtly moved a few steps away, standing a little distance away from Tazuna.

As long as he doesn't face Zabuza head-on, Tetsuya shouldn't have much trouble protecting himself with his current strength.

Not far away, in the shade of the tree canopy, a man with short black hair and no eyebrows stood on a branch, his gaze fixed on Kakashi the entire time. It was none other than Zabuza Momochi.

So that explains why the Ghost Brothers never returned.

It's actually a clone ninja from Konoha, Kakashi Hatake with Sharingan...

Zabuza gripped the hilt of the Executioner's Blade on his back with a cruel smile, and vanished using the Body Flicker Technique.

The instant Zabuza moved, Kakashi's pupils suddenly contracted, instantly pinpointing Zabuza's location.

"Everyone, get down!"

At Kakashi's stern shout, Tetsuya reacted swiftly, crouching down and quietly activating his Sharingan beneath his contact lenses, immediately spotting the exaggeratedly large sword hurtling towards him from the six o'clock direction.

Sasuke reacted a little slower, but he managed to crouch down and avoid the attack before the sword flew past. Naruto, on the other hand, reacted the slowest and landed on the ground in a nearly dog-face-fee position.

boom!

The Executioner's Blade landed heavily on a large tree, and then Zabuza appeared, standing firmly on the hilt, looking down at the entire Class 7.

"Yo, isn't this Zabuza, the rogue ninja from Kirigakure?"

Kakashi greeted him in a flippant tone, his hands in his pockets, seemingly not taking the other person seriously at all. However, Tetsuya, who was closer, clearly noticed that Kakashi's body was already tense, obviously ready for battle.

I missed the last battle, but this time it's my turn to show my skills!

Naruto blinked twice, puzzled by the term "rogue ninja," but that didn't stop him from charging towards Zabuza first.

"Naruto, don't get in the way. You guys step back and form a swastika formation to protect Mr. Tazuna."

Kakashi stretched out his arm, blocking Naruto's path, his tone already showing a hint of impatience.

Why?

Naruto looked completely puzzled, which forced Kakashi to explain.

"This guy is completely incomparable to the enemy that attacked last time. Even I would have a hard time against him!"

Kakashi raised his hand and placed it on his forehead protector, ready to reveal his Sharingan.

"Kakashi with Sharingan, I've heard of your great name. Could you hand that old man over to me?"

Upon hearing Zabuza's words, Sasuke Uchiha's pupils contracted sharply. Ignoring the formidable enemy at hand, his gaze fell upon Kakashi's face.

The Sharingan, isn't that the bloodline limit of our Uchiha clan?

Why does Kakashi-sensei possess the Sharingan?

As the sloping headband was straightened, the scar on Kakashi's eye was revealed. Then, his eyes slowly opened, revealing his scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan.

"Oh, I didn't expect to see the legendary Sharingan so soon, what an honor!"

Zabuza trembled and slowly turned around. The chakra pressure of the two Jonin-level beings collided fiercely, forcing the four-person team behind Kakashi to retreat step by step.

"Um, they keep talking about the Sharingan, the Sharingan, what exactly is that?"

Naruto scratched his head, looking completely puzzled, which made Sasuke's lips twitch a few times before he began to explain what the Sharingan was.

"That's enough of the small talk..."

After exchanging a few words, Zabuza slowly squatted down on his Executioner's Blade. Suddenly, a thick fog rose up around them, not only blocking out the sunlight but also reducing the field of vision to less than two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters).

"Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Technique!"

Zabuza chose this battlefield because there was a wide river several meters wide here. At this moment, he stood on the water, one hand forming a hand seal and the other pointing to the sky. A large amount of chakra poured into the river, forming a huge whirlpool at his feet. Then, white mist rose up, and Zabuza's figure could no longer be seen.

"Listen, he'll probably take care of me first. Back when he was in the Kirigakure Anbu, he was famous throughout the ninja world for his silent killing technique..."

In the thick fog, Kakashi's Sharingan trembled incessantly as he tried to catch Zabuza's trail, while he kept talking, telling the members of Team 7 about Zabuza's origins.

However, the surrounding fog grew thicker and thicker, and even Kakashi's figure, which was two zhang away, gradually faded and disappeared, and the whole world became silent.

We can't rely entirely on Kakashi!

Tetsuya held a kunai, his chakra surging wildly into his one-tomoe Sharingan, attempting to see through the surrounding mist by consuming his eye power.

No.

Soon, as expected, Tetsuya discovered that the surrounding mist contained chakra. Even with his Sharingan activated at full power, he could only expand his field of vision by less than ten feet. Given the enemy's Jonin-level speed, it was barely better than nothing.

"Eight places..."

Just then, Zabuza's voice came from all around, and in the silent environment, every word was heard very clearly.

"Throat, spine, lungs, liver, superior artery, inferior artery, heart..."

Although everyone knew that this was Zabuza's trick to deliberately increase psychological pressure, every time the other party mentioned a vital point, the members of Team 7 still felt a chill in the corresponding area, as if that exaggeratedly shaped sword would suddenly emerge from the mist and slash at them at any moment.

boom!

Just before the pressure was about to reach its peak, Kakashi formed hand seals, and his body was instantly covered with a layer of blue chakra. The pressure mixed with killing intent spread in all directions, instantly clearing the surrounding mist.

Zabuza, of course, did not remain silent. He unleashed his chakra without reservation, causing the murderous aura to grow exponentially.

So, a Jonin unleashing their full power is this strong?

It's really unpleasant to have your life taken away by someone else!

Tetsuya gritted his teeth, his chakra surging at an unprecedented speed under immense pressure, desperately trying to regain control of his destiny.

Every second felt like an eternity. Just as Tetsuya was about to cut his hand to regain control of his body, the chakra within him suddenly surged wildly into his Sharingan.

Perhaps stimulated by fear, Tetsuya felt his pupil power surge instantly, and a new tomoe appeared in his scarlet eyes as they trembled slightly.

Two-tomoe Sharingan, complete.
