What?

If Tetsuya's first intervention to stop Haku from attacking Sasuke was merely a coincidence, this time he clearly had no excuse left. Faced with this extreme speed, Tetsuya had completely seen through Haku's attack.

We have to take down that brat, otherwise Haku might not be able to hold on, which would affect the outcome of the battle between me and Kakashi!

Zabuza suddenly moved, his arm swinging violently backward, and four shuriken shot towards Tetsuya at the same time, aiming straight for his vital points.

"Oh no, Tetsuya, get out of the way!"

Kakashi's pupils suddenly contracted. Zabuza's attack came without warning, and Kakashi, who hadn't even used his Sharingan yet, had no time to stop him. He could only shout a warning.

However, faced with Zabuza's thunderous attack, Tetsuya seemed to have eyes in the back of his head and dodged in advance. He even had the strength to pull Sasuke down with him, allowing the shuriken that was whistling past to glide past their heads.

Since it concerned his own life, Tetsuya wouldn't place all his hopes on Kakashi. Kagura's Mind's Eye had already locked onto Zabuza and Haku, and any intention to attack would be detected by Tetsuya in advance.

so close!

Sasuke, still shaken by the near-fatal attack, glanced at Tetsuya with a mixture of gratitude and resentment.

Why is the gap between my strength and Tetsuya's getting wider and wider even though I've already tried so hard?

After the white mist from the collision between the Fireball and the Ice Mirror dissipated, the sense of helplessness in Sasuke's eyes deepened.

The fire-style ninjutsu I just used had absolutely no effect on the ice mirror.

"Zabuza-san, please allow me to win this battle in my own way, okay?"

Although Zabuza looked reluctant to hear Haku's request, he did not object.

Tetsuya has already seen through his attack methods. Is Zabuza still so confident in that boy named Haku? I guess I'm the one who needs to break the balance...

Kakashi's center of gravity slowly lowered, and just as he was about to make his move, he was immediately blocked by Zabuza.

"Hmph, don't think about anything strange. You know what will happen to that old man and the blond kid if Kakashi makes a move."

Zabuza's words were full of threats, making Kakashi immediately hesitant to act rashly.

Once Zabuza is no longer restrained, Naruto's fragile defense will be no match for his silent assassination techniques, and Tazuna and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki will be in danger.

Kakashi knew very well what Naruto meant to Konoha, and from a personal perspective, he couldn't stand by and watch Minato's orphan fall into danger.

"Let's watch from the sidelines and see how these young ninjas fight."

Zabuza was pleased to see Kakashi's deep concerns and set the tone for the meeting.

"How exactly did you see through his attack trajectory?"

Sasuke covered the wound on his shoulder with one hand, watching Haku re-merge into the ice mirror with extreme vigilance. With a formidable enemy at hand, Sasuke had no choice but to put aside his Uchiha pride and ask Tetsuya for advice.

"It's simple, as long as your eyesight is good enough, or you're faster than him."

Tetsuya's words were so matter-of-fact that Sasuke's body trembled slightly.

Everyone knows this principle, but the problem is that Bai's attack speed is so fast that it's difficult to even catch a glimpse of it, let alone react with one's body.

"If I hadn't noticed, his secret technique is based on his bloodline limit. As long as you can activate your Sharingan, it won't be difficult to keep up with his movement speed."

Sasuke hasn't awakened the Sharingan yet, and Naruto hasn't used the Nine-Tails' power. The course of history has been altered by Tetsuya's butterfly wings.

"My secret technique is a movement technique created by reflecting light through an ice mirror. Judging from my speed, you are actually stationary. Since you can keep up with my speed, you must be a user of a bloodline limit?"

Instead of launching a rash attack, Bai in the ice mirror began to probe with words.

"Not bad. If your Ice Release Kekkei Genkai is limited to this, then the battle should be over."

Tetsuya readily admitted this, and then stood still and began to rapidly form hand seals, the chakra fluctuations emanating from him steadily increasing.

How dare you use Fire Release ninjutsu right in front of me?

Although Haku didn't have much killing intent towards the members of Team 7, and his battles were more about completing Zabuza's mission, Tetsuya knew that he could move at high speed in the ice mirror, yet he still used ninjutsu without any precautions, making Haku somewhat suspicious and wondering if it was another trap set by Tetsuya to lure him away from the ice mirror and launch an attack.

However, a second later, the chakra fluctuations around Tetsuya's body became increasingly violent, even surpassing Zabuza's. This made Haku unable to restrain himself, and he transformed into a black shadow and shot towards Tetsuya from behind.

If he successfully unleashes this advanced fire jutsu, my ice jutsu will be unable to withstand it. I must stop him from completing the ninjutsu!

The instant Bai broke free of the ice mirror, Che turned around as if he had foreseen it. Three fire dragons were faintly visible in front of him, about to take shape.

Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet.

not good!

Haku, locked in by the ninjutsu, felt a chill run through his body, as if he were already enveloped by the aura of death.

Hurry up!

Faster!

We must kill him before he finishes his ninjutsu!

I absolutely cannot let Lord Zabuza down!

The distance of one zhang was covered in an instant by Haku's Ice Release technique. The senbon in his hand was less than an inch away from Tetsuya's heart. At this moment, Tetsuya had just completed the last hand seal, and the temperature that had dropped due to the Ice Release began to rise rapidly.

I won in the end!

At this moment, Bai was absolutely certain that Tetsuya's fire jutsu would take a moment to form and be released, while his senbon would be the first to pierce the enemy's heart.

Just then, Haku's expression changed as he was rushing towards Tetsuya at high speed. His chakra suddenly became chaotic, and Tetsuya in front of him inexplicably transformed into Zabuza. This caused Haku to instinctively pause while thrusting his senbon needles forward, and his speed instantly slowed down.

Tetsuya's Sharingan with its two tomoe under his beautiful contact lenses trembled violently a few times, unleashing nearly half of its power. The moment their eyes met, he activated a genjutsu, affecting Haku's senses.

No, it's an illusion!

As expected of a killing tool trained by Zabuza, Haku realized this almost instantly, but before he could break free of the illusion, three orange-red fire dragons had already engulfed Haku's figure.

I'm sorry, Lord Zabuza, I've disappointed you.

Enveloped in flames that incinerate everything, Haku became incredibly calm. His only worry was whether Zabuza could leave safely.

boom!

Three fire dragons roared past Haku's body, turning the last ice-style ninja into ashes. Only the Mist Ninja mask tumbled a few times in mid-air before cracking and shattering into pieces on the ground.

The three fire dragons, their momentum undiminished, caused the ice mirror in front of them to melt instantly, turning into white mist that rose and dissipated.

"white!"

The attack was so sudden that neither Zabuza nor Kakashi, the two Jonin, could react immediately. It wasn't until the three fire dragons swept across the bridge and disappeared over the sea that Zabuza let out a cry of surprise and charged towards Tetsuya with his Executioner's Blade in his backhand.

"Your opponent is me!"

Kakashi was overjoyed that Tetsuya had won and quickly stepped in front of Zabuza, while at the same time a few doubts arose in his mind.

Strange, why did I feel a familiar fluctuation from Tetsuya just now?
