Chapter 66: Begonia Soul Seal

Sasuke looked at Zabuza who was like a mad bull and did not dare to be careless at all. He immediately assumed a fighting stance.

At this moment, Kakashi's right hand flashed with an arc, and he rushed towards Zabuza as fast as the wind. He whispered, "Let me do it."

As the two got closer and closer, the air seemed to be ignited, and the tense atmosphere reached its peak. With a "puff", Kakashi's Raikiri successfully pierced Zabuza's heart. Kakashi raised his head, looked at Zabuza in surprise and asked: "Zabuza, why?"

At this moment, Zabuza seemed to be relieved and no longer hid his inner thoughts: "I'm sorry, Kakashi. That brat is here, and our mission can no longer be completed. It's a waste of life. This world has nothing to do with me anymore. Why don't you let me accompany him? Also, I have to ask you to bury me with him."

Kakashi stared blankly at everything in front of him. No matter what, Zabuza was a worthy opponent. Then he nodded heavily: "Yes."

As if he was relieved, Zabuza fell to the ground with a smile.

At this time, Sakura and Dazna also ran up: "Teacher Kakashi."

When they saw Zabuza was dead, they finally relaxed their tension. They had won. But they couldn't be happy because they heard what Zabuza said. Even though he was an enemy, his sincere feelings for his companions were indeed worthy of respect.

At this moment, an extremely disgusting voice was heard: "Ahhhhhh, this so-called ghost is nothing but nothing. He died so easily. Hahahaha." The voice was sharp and piercing, as if carrying endless ridicule and contempt.

When Dazna saw the person coming, his face turned pale instantly, as bloodless as a piece of white paper. The fear that Kado brought to him was much stronger than that brought to Zabuza. His body couldn't stop shaking, and his eyes were full of deep fear.

Kakashi looked at the hundreds of people behind Kado, and his brows could not help but furrowed, like two frowning mountains. After all, he had just finished a fierce battle with Zabuza, and his own mana was almost exhausted. At this moment, he felt a lot of pressure.

Cardo looked at the only five remaining people, and immediately put on an extremely arrogant attitude, with that arrogant look as if the whole world was under his control: "I see you don't have much strength left. Thank you for helping me solve this so-called Mist Hidden Demon, which allowed me to pay less reward. So to express my gratitude to you, I will send you on your way now." Then he waved his hand, and the hundreds of people behind him, holding weapons, howled and rushed towards Kakashi and others like a tide. The surging momentum was terrifying.

Just as Kakashi and the others were ready for battle, a crisp sound of footsteps came from behind them. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Naruto walking towards them steadily with a determined look in his eyes. When he passed by them, he whispered, "You guys take a break, let me do it."

The four of them looked at this back and suddenly felt extremely relieved. The sunlight shone on his back, outlining a golden outline, as if covering him with a layer of sacred light. Naruto took steady and powerful steps, each step was full of determination and fearlessness. His slightly raised hair danced lightly in the wind, and the picture was like a beautiful painting.

Sakura clasped her hands in front of her chest and stared at Naruto's back, her eyes full of admiration and expectation.

At this time, Naruto began to make seals with his hands - Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Zi.

As the seal was completed, Naruto shouted softly: "Begonia Soul Seal!" The beautiful Begonia flowers suddenly drifted slowly from the sky. The petals fluttered like snowflakes, like a dream, and the beauty was beyond the human world. As Naruto's chakra continued to increase, more and more Begonia flowers came, sweeping over like an overwhelming blanket, instantly forming an extremely gorgeous sea of ​​flowers. The group of people who rushed up suddenly stopped. They looked at this magical scene curiously, completely confused by the beautiful scene in front of them, and did not realize the deadly danger hidden in it. Until a muffled "thump" sound, someone suddenly fell to the ground. Then, one after another fell down. At this moment, they just woke up from a dream, panic spread instantly, and wanted to turn around and flee in a hurry. However, the Begonia flowers had already been deeply imprinted on their bodies. Even if they wanted to escape, it was too late. In less than a minute, all the people had fallen to the ground, and there was a dead silence all around. Naruto stopped transmitting chakra, and the crabapple flowers that had not yet fallen to the ground also dissipated, as if they had never appeared.

There was silence, as quiet as death.

The four of them stared at Cardo and his group who had fallen to the ground, and a deep chill involuntarily rose in their hearts.

Naruto looked at the fallen enemies, but his expression was calm. He exhaled slowly and gently, then turned around and looked at Kakashi, Sakura, Sasuke and Dazna.

The first to break the silence was Kakashi, his voice was low and serious: "Naruto, what level of strength have you reached?"

There was a hint of fear and pity in Sakura's eyes: "Naruto, they are just... gone like this?" Her voice trembled and she could no longer speak.

Sasuke clenched his fists tightly and said through gritted teeth: "Damn Naruto, I've got you pretending again. No, this move is too cool, you have to teach it to me!"

Dazna sighed: "Naruto, thank you for bringing us hope of peace, but the price is this..."

Naruto looked at them with a firm and clear gaze, and said in a deep voice: "We are fighting to protect them. The fate of these people is their own fault. As long as our beliefs are unwavering, we will never lose our way in this cruel world. Besides, they are not dead, but their souls are sealed by me."

Kakashi was slightly startled, with a look of surprise on his face: "Seal the soul? Naruto, this ninjutsu should be classified as a forbidden technique, right? Where did you learn it from?"

Sakura's eyes widened, her fear receded a little, and she asked curiously, "Naruto, can they still recover?"

Sasuke frowned and stared at Naruto anxiously.

Dazna was puzzled: "The soul is sealed? What on earth is going on?"

Naruto explained calmly: "I accidentally learned this technique during my training. As long as the seal is removed, they will be able to recover as before. But before that, they will never be able to do evil."

Kakashi nodded thoughtfully, "Naruto, I am finding it increasingly difficult to see through you, but you must be careful when using such a technique."

Sakura smiled and said, "Naruto, you always surprise us."

Dazna looked at Naruto with gratitude, "Naruto, no matter what, you saved everyone."

Naruto looked at them with a confident smile on his face, "Come on, let's go back."

Just as everyone was getting ready to set off, Inari, holding a crossbow, led a group of villagers, who appeared on the bridge holding all kinds of farm tools.

When everyone saw Cardo and his group all fall to the ground, they all cheered in their hearts.

Naruto smiled, walked up to Inari, gently touched his little head, and praised: "Inari, you are very brave this time. You must have mobilized these villagers."

When Inari heard Naruto's praise, there was no joy on his face. He pouted and said depressedly: "What's the matter, Naruto brother, I also finally mustered up the courage and wanted to be a hero. I spent a lot of effort to persuade everyone, but I didn't expect that the problem was solved by you guys."
