"So it's Konoha's Copy Ninja—Kakashi with the Sharingan. No wonder Phantom Brother's team was completely wiped out,"
Zabuza muttered under his breath, his eyes brimming with unmasked malice, like a wolf staring at its prey.
"Hey… what's a Copy Ninja? What's a Sharingan?"
Naruto suddenly started asking some wildly inappropriate questions.
Xiaoying's eyebrows twitched. "Brother, you really love to mess around…"
She sighed inwardly and said to Naruto, "The Sharingan is the Uchiha clan's kekkei genkai, but what does that have to do with Kakashi-sensei? Could it be…?"
She glanced at Sasuke, who looked at Kakashi in surprise.
Kakashi's expression remained calm, free of arrogance, radiating the presence of a true strong ninja.
He slowly lifted his headband with one hand, revealing the scarred Sharingan fully to the scene.
"This is the Sharingan that can copy thousands of jutsu?" Zabuza asked coldly.
"Awesome! The Sharingan! We're saved!" Naruto exclaimed dramatically. "Sasuke, isn't this supposed to be unique to the Uchiha clan? Did you lend your eye to the boss?"
Sasuke suddenly flew into a rage, glaring at Naruto.
Naruto thought: Hey, I said strong negative emotions can awaken the Sharingan… Looks like these negative emotions still aren't strong enough.
Naruto's chatter annoyed Zabuza slightly. He glanced at Naruto, who immediately formed the Swastika Seal with Sakura, shielding Tazuna.
Naruto winked. "Kadrun, your eyes aren't as pretty as our leader's."
"That's enough," Kakashi said stiffly, stopping Naruto. "You three protect Tazuna. I'll handle this guy."
"You're not a match for him," Kakashi thought.
"Understood," Naruto said, but his consciousness once again sank into the spiritual space.
He quickly arrived at the door. "Nine-Tails, I'm the landlord. Give me the chakra."
"Causing trouble again?" The Nine-Tails was annoyed. Just now he'd despised his chakra, and now Naruto was asking for it again? Couldn't the jinchūriki respect tailed-beast chakra?
"Quickly. Handle this properly, and I'll let bygones be bygones," Naruto said calmly, putting himself in the role of the Nine-Tails' master.
The Nine-Tails didn't respond immediately, instead observing the outside world through Naruto.
Zabuza, however, drew his sword and instantly appeared on the water's surface, raising a hand high and unleashing the Hidden Mist Technique to its fullest.
Visibility in the area dropped even further.
Sasuke was startled by Zabuza's presence, sweating heavily, legs trembling.
Kakashi noticed Sasuke's panic and immediately wanted to comfort him.
But Naruto placed his hand on Sasuke's shoulder:
"Better now, skinny dog?"
Sasuke suddenly felt a rush of blood from his feet to his head.
Thank you so much!
Naruto felt pity for him. How could he be so slow to react?
"Oh? You still want to bicker among yourselves?"
Suddenly, Zabuza appeared between the three. Kakashi felt a sharp sting and loudly ordered everyone to scatter.
But Sakura did the opposite, rushing straight at Zabuza, trying to grab him with both hands!
Zabuza clicked his tongue in disdain and swung his sword backward—directly at Sakura!
Sakura ducked under the lethal blow and successfully grabbed Zabuza, using her weight to pin him down.
She actually intended to use her body to subdue Zabuza! Sakura, expressionless, said, "Come at me."
Naruto dodged to the side, muttering in his heart, "What the hell? This girl is either taciturn or insanely strong. Her fighting style is wild!"
He, Kakashi, and Sasuke all reacted simultaneously, drawing kunai and charging at Zabuza.
Kakashi was the fastest. Shocked, he used the Body Flicker Technique and stabbed toward Zabuza.
Zabuza squinted and elbowed Sakura's forehead hard—but she didn't flinch.
At that moment, Naruto drew the extended kunai he had purchased and swung it at Sakura!
"Splut!"
Sakura and Zabuza simultaneously transformed into two puddles of water.
Water Release: Water Clone Technique!
This was Sakura's backup plan. After reaching the shore, she waited for an opportunity to use the jutsu, hiding her real body behind the clones, much like Naruto's Shadow Clones.
It was one of the skills she had trained earlier. Drawing inspiration from Naruto, she chose a path similar to his, first mastering the practical Water Clone Technique.
This gave her high tolerance for mistakes during battle.
Meanwhile, Sakura seized Naruto's Shadow Clone's ninja tool bag from behind and set traps around the area.
She hoped to snipe Haku—or capture him alive. Killing him was also an option.
The Shadow Clone Naruto began arranging tactics as well, thinking: Is this the overall perspective of a seasoned soul-game player?
On the front lines, with their rhythm disrupted, Zabuza didn't pause, summoning more water clones to pursue Kakashi.
Kakashi successfully dodged Zabuza's clones, but the real Zabuza circled around him again, sending a chill down Kakashi's spine.
Then, another development occurred.
Naruto pressed his extended kunai against Zabuza's back. "Don't move. If I use my height to stab you, your rear will be in danger."
By the way, Naruto was short, only reaching Zabuza's waist.
So he aimed for Zabuza's backside…
"Naruto, I told you to stay back! You're not a match for him!" Kakashi said anxiously. To him, given Naruto's current mental state, this was far too risky.
"Heh, kid," Zabuza said coldly, not turning his head, "who do you think I am? Do you think I fear some brat like you?"
"Killing a few people will make you stronger," Naruto's lips curled in a sinister smile. "Let's just say this move is a secret of Konoha taijutsu, personally taught by Sharingan Kakashi. I guarantee I can tear you apart inside and out in one second."
Though this Naruto hadn't experienced a millennium of killing, he had read the original story.
From Earth, from Kakashi, Yo·Luo·Xi·Ku~
Zabuza finally looked at the boy in front of him.
What unsettled him wasn't the threat behind him—it was the tone of the boy's voice.
The entire process felt calm, almost leisurely, as if they weren't engaged in a life-or-death struggle, but on a spring outing.
Why is he so composed? Was he modified, emotionless, or like me, someone who has killed countless people? Zabuza pondered.
He observed Sasuke beside him for a moment. Sasuke was not only completely dumbfounded but also frozen.
He was also startled by Xiaoying's recent maneuvers, momentarily forgetting to act.
"This kid is actually the most normal," Zabuza thought. He finally found a touch of reality in Sasuke.
The little brat in front of him can't be a monster like Haku, right?
Also, Haku shouldn't be that kind of person, right?
In fact, at this moment, Zabuza wasn't the only one questioning his life.
A faint sense of despair emanated from Kakashi.
Please let me quietly fight Zabuza…
