As soon as the Sharingan with two tomoe was activated, Tetsuya immediately felt the pressure from the surrounding killing intent decrease dramatically. His stiff body regained its flexibility under the surge of chakra, and even the effect of the thick fog on his vision was reduced again.

Tetsuya glanced around and noticed that although Naruto was tense, his easygoing nature meant he didn't have many distracting thoughts in this situation. He just looked around in fear. On the other hand, Sasuke, under the wave after wave of killing intent, slowly raised his arm and pointed the blade at his vital point.

Snapped!

Tetsuya stretched out his arm and grabbed Sasuke's wrist, startling Sasuke, who was on the verge of losing his composure.

Good, it's fortunate that he was included in Team 7, otherwise I would have had to take care of protecting these students while fighting Zabuza.

Kakashi, standing in front, didn't turn around, but a look of relief appeared on his face. He had noticed Sasuke's unusual behavior long ago and was about to remind him when Tetsuya beat him to it.

"Your student is quite good, Kakashi..."

Zabuza's voice echoed once more from the depths of the mist, drifting east and west, making it impossible to pinpoint its exact location.

"If we were to kill them all, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tetsuya suddenly raised his arm, and four shuriken transformed into cold light, shooting out towards his left.

Zabuza, hidden in the thick fog, instantly judged that the shuriken would fly past a meter away. Just as he was about to make a sarcastic remark, he heard two clanging sounds and immediately realized something was wrong.

The two shuriken collided in mid-air and changed their trajectories, shooting towards Zabuza's head and chest respectively!

This is definitely not a coincidence!

How could a genin see through the Hidden Mist Technique?

However, this is a good opportunity!

Two mere shuriken could not possibly harm Zabuza. With a slight swing of his arm, the massive guillotine, as large as a door panel, was placed in front of him, deflecting the two shuriken away.

"Found you!"

Almost instantly, Kakashi appeared behind Zabuza as if he had teleported, thrusting his kunai forward and gushing out a large amount of liquid.

Kakashi's Sharingan twitched slightly as he aimed his attack, and he clearly saw that the water gushing from the wound was transparent.

"Prepare to die!"

Almost at the same time, Zabuza appeared behind Kakashi, swinging his Executioner's Blade in a half-circle, intending to cut Kakashi in two at the waist.

Splash...

The Executioner's Blade swept across, splashing cold liquid everywhere, which landed on Zabuza's body.

No, he's also a water clone!

Zabuza immediately sensed something was wrong. Although the feeling of the blade cutting through flesh was no different, if it really hit the target, the liquid that spilled out should be warm, and the smell of blood would definitely be overwhelming!

Zabuza, who once single-handedly slaughtered all the students of his class, and killed countless people in the Kirigakure Anbu, was already used to the idea of ​​lives withering away in front of his Executioner's Blade. Any strange detail would arouse his vigilance.

As expected of Kakashi with the Sharingan, he copied my Water Clone in an instant and used it skillfully. The title of Copy Ninja is truly well-deserved!

"Don't move!"

Before Zabuza could make a move, the gleaming kunai was already pressed against his throat. Kakashi only needed to flick his wrist to slice through the carotid artery.

"it's over!"

Kakashi, with half his face exposed, had his crimson Sharingan trembling slightly.

"Hmph, what do you mean it's over? You really don't understand. This kind of monkey-playing trick can never defeat me..."

Seeing that even with his vital points controlled, Kakashi remained calm and composed, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his three-tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly, immediately noticing that something was wrong.

Zabuza in front of us has very little chakra, only at the level of an ordinary Chunin!

Oh no, it's still a water clone!

"While you're quite formidable, I'm not so easy to deal with!"

The voice rang out behind Kakashi, and another Zabuza teleported out from the thick fog. The figure in front of Kakashi suddenly collapsed, turning into a puddle of water that spilled onto the ground.

The Executioner's Blade, powerful enough to shatter any obstacle, struck again. Kakashi, prepared, quickly crouched down, dodging the decapitation strike. However, he couldn't avoid the ensuing kick to the heart, and was sent flying into the air.

Zabuza grinned maliciously as he dragged his Executioner's Blade in pursuit. But then he saw a flash of cold light before his eyes, and caltrops scattered from Kakashi's body. They weren't meant to injure Zabuza, but only to block Zabuza's pursuit and buy him a chance to catch his breath.

Seeing Zabuza abruptly stop, Kakashi landed on the ground with a splash, water flying everywhere. Kakashi immediately sensed that something was wrong.

What's wrong with this water? It feels unusually heavy...

Kakashi, who had struggled to sit up after expending a lot of chakra, heard the sound of wind breaking behind him. Zabuza formed hand seals, completing seven seals in an instant. He then pushed forward with his fingers spread, and a deep blue water sphere rose up, instantly trapping Kakashi inside.

Water Release: Water Prison Technique!

shit!

Kakashi unleashed his chakra in an attempt to break the water sphere, but Zabuza pressed his palm against its surface, continuously channeling chakra into it. Ripples spread out, calming the turbulence and rendering Kakashi's struggle futile.

"Heh heh heh, you've taken the bait. This is a specially made prison from which there is no escape. If you can still make a move, I won't be able to!"

From the very beginning, Zabuza never intended to fight Kakashi to the death. His mission was always to complete the mission and eliminate Tazuna, not to fight Kakashi to the death.

Zabuza formed a hand seal in front of his chest, and a new water clone gradually took shape beside him.

"Do you think that proudly wearing a ninja headband makes you a ninja? A true ninja is someone who constantly walks the line between life and death!"

After making his threats, Zabuza's water clone looked at the trembling Naruto with a cruel glint in his eyes before disappearing into the thick fog once more.

Disappeared again!

Naruto strained his eyes, trying to catch a glimpse of the water clone, but to no avail.

On the contrary, Tetsuya next to him had his two-tomoe Sharingan hidden under his colored contact lenses trembling incessantly, capturing the abnormal chakra fluctuations in the thick fog.

I've found you, Zabuza!

As a long leg emerged from the thick fog and kicked towards the slightly trembling Naruto, Tetsuya quickly formed hand seals, and fireballs of phoenix flowers shot out from his mouth. The intense heat instantly evaporated the surrounding fog, revealing Zabuza's figure.

What?! How did this brat do that?

Even though it was just a water clone, Zabuza's physical strength was not weakened much. Zabuza's figure flashed rapidly in the mist after withdrawing his attack. Even Tetsu tried his best to control himself, and the fireballs just grazed past him, unable to catch up with Zabuza's speed.

You troublesome brat, I'll deal with you first!

Zabuza suddenly lunged forward, his guillotine sword, Asahi, slashing down at Zabuza's head.

Naruto, who only reacted at this moment, collapsed to the ground with his legs weak, watching helplessly as the greatsword slashed at his comrade; on the other side, Sasuke gritted his teeth and swung his kunai in an attempt to provide support, but was clearly a step too slow due to the fog, so neither of them could be relied upon.

It's just a water clone. Putting aside his advantage in taijutsu and his rich combat experience, Zabuza's water clone doesn't have much chakra. This is my only chance!

Under the gaze of the two-tomoe Sharingan, Zabuza's movements gradually slowed down, and the flow of his chakra was laid bare, leaving no secrets.

Illusion: Tree Binding Kill!

Seeing that Tetsuya remained motionless, Zabuza grinned maliciously. Just as the blade was less than three inches from Tetsuya's neck, large trees burst forth from the ground, their branches tightly binding Zabuza's body, making it impossible for his blade to advance any further.

This is... Wood Release?

Zabuza's pupils suddenly contracted, and he immediately thought of the First Hokage's bloodline limit, Wood Release, which allowed him to quell the chaos of the world.
