After receiving Kakashi's last-minute training guidance, Sasuke's strength had significantly improved compared to seven days ago. Sensing the ice needles shooting from all directions, Sasuke unleashed a burst of chakra beneath his feet and leaped high into the air at the last second, causing Haku's attack to completely miss.

Immediately, Sasuke swung his arm in mid-air, and several shuriken shot out, forcing Haku to leap backward to dodge. Just as Haku was preparing to counterattack, Sasuke, in high speed, had already appeared behind the enemy.

"I didn't expect you to be so slow. Now, all you can do is defend against my counterattack."

Sasuke, feeling a smug look on his face, spoke up to refute Bai.

Ding Ding!

Although Haku was a beat too slow and managed to block Sasuke's kunai attack, he could no longer dodge the subsequent kick. His body was sent flying two meters away, crashing heavily at Zabuza's feet.

Bai actually lost in terms of speed?

Zabuza's pupils contracted slightly as he realized for the first time that he had underestimated the kid from Konoha.

"Don't talk about brats. If you underestimate them, you'll definitely suffer the consequences."

Kakashi was clearly satisfied with Sasuke's performance and, unusually, offered a few words of praise.

"Hmph... Bai, if this continues, they really will turn the tables on us."

Zabuza didn't take Kakashi's words to heart, since no one knew his strength better than him.

"Okay, I understand."

Haku stood up, his body radiating chakra light. The rapidly dropping temperature around him even made Sasuke, who was two zhang away, suppress his smile and look serious.

clack clack...

The crisp friction sounds rose and fell, and the clear water on the ground rose up, turning into crystal clear ice mirrors that floated a foot above the ground, trapping Sasuke in a small battlefield about two zhang square, with ice mirrors even blocking the sky above his head.

"Secret Technique: Magic Mirror Ice Crystal"

As Bai's voice rang out, the ice mirrors emitted a dazzling light, causing the already extremely low temperature to drop even further.

What kind of ninjutsu is that?

Even Kakashi, who was locked onto Zabuza, couldn't help but take notice. Despite having copied thousands of ninjutsu, he searched his memory but still couldn't find a similar ability.

Heh, looks like I don't need to be distracted over there.

Zabuza's lips curled up slightly, clearly thinking that with the Ice Release secret technique, dealing with a few newly graduated genin would be a piece of cake. Once Haku kills those genin, Kakashi will definitely be distracted, and that will be my chance to avenge myself!

Bai moved with ease in the frigid air, his speed increasing rather than decreasing. In a flash, he appeared in front of an ice mirror, his entire body merging into it as if liquid, causing his figure to appear on the originally gleaming mirror.

Immediately, bright lights flashed across the mirrors, and white figures appeared on all the ice mirrors, making it difficult for Sasuke to distinguish front from back, left from right.

What is this?

Sasuke gripped the kunai tightly in his hand, feeling a murderous aura emanating from all directions, as if every figure on the mirror was his real self.

not good!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Kakashi rushed towards Sasuke, but he was blocked by Zabuza as soon as he started to move.

"Your opponent is me. Once that move is used, your student is beyond saving."

Zabuza was full of confidence in Haku's Ice Release technique, because it was with this very technique that Haku killed the Anbu sent by Kirigakure to hunt him down.

"Kakashi-sensei, you can focus on dealing with Zabuza. I'm here, Sasuke will be fine."

Just then, Tetsuya, who had been observing coldly, suddenly spoke up and rushed towards the Magic Mirror Ice Crystal.

"It seems I must take care of you immediately, and then your companions. In the face of true speed, eliminating you will only take a moment."

The white figures in the ice mirrors moved simultaneously. One after another, ice-released senbon needles shot out from different mirrors at incredible speeds, making it impossible for Sasuke to see the trajectory of the attacks. He only felt intense pain all over his body at the same time, and a large amount of blood gushed out. He couldn't even hold onto the kunai in his hand, and it fell to the ground with a thud.

"They actually went straight for the kill?"

Compared to Sasuke, who couldn't see the trajectory of the senbon attacks, Tetsuya, who had activated his two-tomoe Sharingan, could see it clearly from a dynamic perspective. He noticed several senbon needles shooting towards Sasuke's artery, causing Tetsuya to frown and quickly form hand seals.

The ground suddenly trembled, and three earthen walls rose up simultaneously, forming a triangle that protected Sasuke in the center, causing the continuous attacks of the thousand bonfires to miss their mark.

Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall.

Sasuke, who was curled up in a ball with his hands covering his head, was panting heavily. He finally got a chance to catch his breath and was about to pick up the kunai on the ground when he felt a dark shadow flash above his head.

The three earthen walls only blocked attacks from all directions, leaving Sasuke's head completely unprotected. In order to eliminate an enemy as quickly as possible, Haku, wielding a senbon needle, detached from the ice mirror at the top and stabbed it towards Sasuke's Baihui acupoint.

In order to prevent you from killing Lord Zabuza, I have no choice but to ask you to die!

Just as Senbon was less than three inches away from Sasuke's pressure point, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed Haku's wrist, making it impossible for the attack to advance any further.

What? Someone can actually keep up with my speed?

Bai's pupils contracted, and before he could even show a look of surprise, he was kicked hard in the abdomen. His body tumbled rapidly in mid-air until he crashed into an ice mirror and came to a stop.

"Are you alright?"

The earthen wall slowly sank, and Tetsuya's figure appeared beside Sasuke.

"fine."

Despite being covered in blood, Sasuke stubbornly turned his face away, not wanting his companions to see his disheveled state.

He deliberately left an opening above when using Earth Escape, using his companion as bait, so that he could predict the direction of my attack.

Blood dripped from beneath the mask. Bai slowly stood up, regaining confidence in his speed.

Having awakened his Ice Release bloodline limit, Haku can move at near-light speed between mirror surfaces once he uses his secret technique, Demonic Mirror Ice Crystal. At this extreme speed, even a Jonin would find it difficult to withstand, and would perish on the spot after barely blocking a few attacks.

Bai, having re-integrated into the ice mirror, once again condensed into a thousand ice needles. The figures within the ice mirrors simultaneously assumed forward lunge postures, making it difficult to discern where the next attack would be launched.

Whoosh!

White's figure swooped out of the ice mirror and shot towards the opposite ice mirror. As she passed by Tetsuya, the senbon in her hand used the force generated by her forward rush to thrust out, aiming directly at Tetsuya's carotid artery.

Too fast...

Even though Sasuke tried his best to open his eyes wide, he still couldn't catch a glimpse of Haku's figure. The only thing he could barely confirm was that Haku's target was not him.

opportunity!

Although he was powerless to support his comrades, Sasuke did not sit idly by. After quickly forming hand seals, a huge fireball was spewed from his mouth, aimed directly at the ice mirror in front of him.

Although Sasuke still can't figure out why Haku's speed suddenly increased, since it all started with these strange ice mirrors around him, he might as well just smash them.

Haku made no attempt to stop Sasuke from using Fire Release to attack Ice Mirror, his eyes remaining fixed on Tetsuya's vital points.

Ding!

Tetsuya, who had been motionless just moments before, suddenly raised his kunai and blocked the path of the senbon's attack. After the two collided, Tetsuya slightly flicked his wrist, cutting the senbon in two, with the tip even grazing past Shiro's body.

puff!

Blood gushed from Bai's shoulder, dripping onto the surface of the ice mirror in front of him. Bai, who had been attacked, fell to the ground, looking extremely disheveled.

Faced with the Sharingan's dynamic capture, even the fastest speed is futile, not to mention Kagura's Mind's Eye's ability to predict attacks.

In this battle between bloodline limits, the Sharingan wins!
