#27 - Chapter 27 Demon Zabuza? So scary~
As the Seventh Squad was walking, Kakashi suddenly sensed a wave of killing intent.
Turning around, he saw a large sword flying towards them!
"Everyone, get down!"
Sasuke reacted quickly and fell to the ground.
Sakura and Tazuna, however, were somewhat stunned, still wanting to turn around to see the strange noise coming from behind them.
Little did they know that turning around would cost them their heads!
In this critical moment, a golden flash instantly appeared in front of them, catching the Kubikiribōchō with one hand!
With his body strengthened four times, Naruto's physical qualities were no weaker than a Jonin! Even stronger!
"This sword... is not bad."
Naruto examined the sword in his hand, and then suddenly unleashed a three-meter-long slash from top to bottom in the direction the sword had come from!
"What?"
Zabuza's eyes widened, his pupils shrinking rapidly.
The fact that a little brat like Naruto could catch his sword was already surprising enough.
Now, this little brat could casually unleash a slash that was no weaker than a B-rank ninjutsu, which was simply incomprehensible to him.
Considering his age, he had only just graduated from the Ninja Academy... Are the geniuses in Konoha this terrifying nowadays?
Barely dodging Naruto's slash, Zabuza stared at Naruto with a wary gaze.
This guy's talent is even more terrifying than Haku!
"Too bad."
Naruto muttered with some regret, seeing that the slash had missed Zabuza.
Although his swordsmanship was maxed out, the extent of his slash was not entirely related to his swordsmanship.
The strength of his body and Armament Haki also determined the strength and speed of Naruto's slash to a certain extent!
"Naruto, what was that just now?" Kakashi asked curiously.
The slash was blue and white, which was different from the golden ninjutsu Naruto usually used.
"Just swordsmanship."
Naruto said indifferently, not intending to explain further.
"Sasuke."
"Hmm?"
"Do you want a sword?"
Naruto asked, shaking the Kubikiribōchō in his hand.
"This sword... for me?" Sasuke asked doubtfully, "But I don't know swordsmanship."
"If you don't know, just practice and you'll learn?"
As Naruto said this, he tossed the sword to Sasuke.
Sasuke subconsciously caught the sword, but his body sank uncontrollably.
So heavy!
Such a heavy sword, and Naruto caught it with one hand?
Sasuke felt the gap between himself and Naruto growing bigger and bigger!
"If this sword is given to me, what will you use?" Sasuke asked.
Naruto made a grasping motion with both hands, and a lightsaber appeared in his hand.
"Don't worry, I have something better here!"
"......"
Sasuke originally thought the Kubikiribōchō was already very cool, but compared to Naruto's sword, it instantly lost its appeal.
Naruto twirled the sword and put the Kusanagi back, suddenly realizing that Kakashi was gone.
"Where's Kakashi?" Naruto asked.
"Kakashi-sensei went to chase after that enemy just now!" Sakura replied.
"I'll go help Kakashi, you guys protect this old man here." With that, Naruto disappeared in a golden flash, chasing after the direction Zabuza had left.
With Kakashi's strength, fighting Zabuza one-on-one might leave him exhausted again.
He didn't want to continue the mission with a sick person.
......
At this time, Zabuza had just been stopped by Kakashi, and the two were facing each other.
"Oh? Isn't this Zabuza Momochi, the missing-nin from Kirigakure? Are you leaving so soon?" Kakashi said, feigning ease.
"Copy Ninja Kakashi, get out of the way!" Zabuza said coldly.
"Sorry, but I'm afraid I can't. If I let you go now, you might come back and catch us off guard. That would be troublesome."
Kakashi looked troubled, then placed his hand on the forehead protector he used to cover his left eye, "To avoid further trouble, I have no choice but to leave you here."
"Hmph, leave me here? If I'm determined to leave, do you think you can stop me?" Zabuza said with a sneer, looking at Kakashi with a hint of contempt.
Zabuza was a genius who had crawled out of a pile of corpses since he was a child, so he had no reverence for Kakashi's reputation.
What Copy Ninja, what Sharingan, copying thousands of ninjutsu, in the end, they're just corpses!
The main reason he chose to retreat was because of Naruto's presence.
The strength of that yellow-haired brat was clearly also above Jonin level. Facing two Jonin, this operation would require careful consideration.
At the very least, he needed to find an opportunity to take back the sword, and then defeat Squad Seven one by one!
However, Kakashi also saw through Zabuza's thoughts, so he didn't intend to give him this chance.
Just as the two were on the verge of conflict, a golden flash appeared behind Zabuza.
So fast!
Zabuza's eyes scanned the Naruto behind him warily, his heart filled with shock!
That golden light... what kind of ninjutsu is that?
Zabuza couldn't quite see through Naruto's strength.
Stealing his Kubikiribōchō with one hand, unleashing a B-rank ninjutsu with a wave of his hand, and his speed was also terrifyingly fast!
Are all the Genin nowadays this heaven-defying?
Looking at the Konoha Jonin Hatake Kakashi blocking directly in front of him, Zabuza's determination to retreat became even stronger!
But in the current situation, it would be difficult to escape unscathed!
"Naruto, you shouldn't have followed me." Kakashi still had his hand on his forehead protector, not completely removing it.
After all, if he removed his forehead protector, his chakra consumption would increase sharply.
Every second counts!
"I was afraid you couldn't handle him alone," Naruto said indifferently.
"But......"
"Hmph!"
Before Kakashi could continue speaking, Zabuza suddenly snorted coldly and rushed towards Naruto behind him.
"Kid, get out of the way!"
Zabuza threw several kunai at Naruto, then teleported forward.
He planned to use the kunai to force Naruto back while breaking through, or use the kunai to create opportunities for his other attacks.
This was a common attack routine that most ninjas were skilled in.
But Naruto did something that Zabuza didn't expect!
Or rather, he did nothing at all!
He just stood there and allowed Zabuza's kunai to pierce through his body.
"What?!"
This bizarre scene caused Zabuza to stop instantly, his eyes warily examining Naruto.
Not injured? How is that possible?
Looking at the two kunai stuck in the tree, Zabuza's eyes flickered uncertainly.
He didn't believe he missed. He had absolute confidence in his basic ninja skills of throwing kunai.
But why didn't they hit?
'No... that's not right!
I saw with my own eyes the kunai passing through that kid's body, so it's not that I didn't hit, but that this kid has some strange ability to avoid the kunai's attack!'
"Kakashi, I suddenly feel like the two of us ganging up on him is a bit too much," Naruto suddenly stepped past Zabuza and said to Kakashi behind him, "He seems a little too weak."
Naruto felt that the taijutsu and abilities displayed by this Zabuza were not very impressive.
In terms of taijutsu, Zabuza seemed slightly inferior to Kakashi?
As for ninjutsu... neither the Silent Killing Technique performed with the Hiding in Mist Technique nor the Water Release techniques posed a threat to Naruto.
"Bullying him?"
Kakashi was stunned for a moment, then said seriously, "Naruto, this guy is Zabuza Momochi, the Demon of the Hidden Mist Village! Don't underestimate him!"
Even though Naruto had just demonstrated his powerful strength, Kakashi still didn't think Naruto could easily deal with Zabuza.
This guy was the one who killed more than a hundred graduating students alone before he was even a ninja!
To be so ruthless at such a young age, his strength is terrifying, and coupled with the fact that he is the wielder of the Kubikiribōchō of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen......
Although he has now lost his sword, he should still not be underestimated!
"Zabuza the Demon? How scary~"
