#28 - Chapter 28: Sakura and Sasuke's Battle

Naruto said that, but there was no fear on his face, not even any expression.

In Zabuza's eyes, this was a complete humiliation and provocation!

"Damn brat!"

Zabuza shouted angrily, then turned and rushed towards Kakashi.

This made Kakashi, who had been on guard for a long time, a little confused.

You scold him, but hit me?

Kakashi instantly pulled up his forehead protector and used his Sharingan to fight Zabuza in hand-to-hand combat.

It must be said that Zabuza's taijutsu was very superb. Even without the Kubikiribocho, he could still fight Kakashi evenly with just a kunai.

Naruto hesitated for a moment, but did not attack.

Kakashi and Zabuza's fighting rhythm was very tight, and the attack distance was very close!

The current Naruto could not accurately grasp the precision of the attack. If he suddenly joined the battle, he might hurt Kakashi.

As expected, two people fighting one is still bullying Zabuza.

One-on-one battles of attrition are much better.

Naruto thought to himself, planning to wait for Kakashi to consume more of Zabuza's stamina before delivering a fatal blow!

But after waiting for a while, he noticed something was wrong.

Why is Zabuza emitting water?

"Kakashi, get back!"

Out of trust, Kakashi immediately retreated after receiving Naruto's signal. Zabuza wanted to take the opportunity to step forward, but was instantly pierced through the chest by Naruto's laser beam!

"Water clone?"

Looking at the water instead of blood flowing from the pierced area of Zabuza's chest, Naruto became serious.

When did this happen?

Did he quietly use it during the battle with Kakashi?

Or was it from the beginning... Not good!

"Yata Mirror!"

Realizing something, Naruto didn't even have time to say anything to Kakashi before turning into a beam of light and disappearing from the spot.

And Kakashi also knew that he and Naruto had been tricked the moment he saw Zabuza's water clone!

Sakura and Sasuke are in danger!

On the other side,

After Naruto left, Sasuke and Sakura guarded Tazuna's side without much vigilance.

After all, even strong ninjas like Kakashi and Naruto hadn't discovered the existence of other enemies, so the probability of other enemies being around was very low.

Suddenly!

Two shurikens flew towards the two from the shadows.

Sasuke, who reacted, quickly blocked one shuriken with the Kubikiribocho in his hand, and at the same time drew out a shuriken and threw it in Sakura's direction, helping her block the other shuriken.

"I originally thought it would be good if the water clone could trick one of them away. I didn't expect that one clone could trick both of them away. Konoha ninjas are really stupid."

Zabuza walked out of the shadows, looked at Sasuke and Sakura, and a cruel smile appeared on his bandaged mouth.

"Why are there still enemies here?!"

"Sakura, be on guard!"

Sakura was shocked!

Sasuke was more calm, reminding Sakura to prepare for battle.

The two held a knife and a kunai respectively, blocking in front of Tazuna.

At this time, Tazuna's heart was beating violently, feeling that his old life was not guaranteed.

The two strongest of these ninjas were actually lured away!

"Hmph, brat!"

Seeing Sasuke actually holding his own knife against him, Zabuza looked unhappy.

However, he did not attack immediately, but first used the Hidden Mist Technique to wrap the area in thick fog.

The yellow-haired kid's speed was too fast. He had to create some interference conditions for him to avoid being found back to stop him!

"It's getting foggy?"

Looking at the increasingly thick fog around them, Sasuke and Sakura felt more and more nervous.

They knew that this was the enemy's ninjutsu, but they had no way to deal with it!

"Throat, spine, lungs..."

"Eight fatal points. Guess where I will attack from?"

Zabuza's faint voice came from the mist, and Sasuke and Sakura's hearts seemed to be stuck in their throats, unable to make any sound.

Fear made them feel uneasy!

It was even difficult to raise any thoughts of resistance!

Is this the opponent that Naruto and Kakashi are dealing with?

Can we really survive in a fight with such a guy?

Suddenly, Zabuza appeared behind Sasuke!

Sasuke noticed someone behind him, but his body was too scared to move!

The killing intent from the Jonin made Sasuke's brain unable to control his body.

"Hmph! My knife is not something a brat like you can use, brat!"

Realizing Sasuke's weakness, Zabuza lost some interest, grabbed the Kubikiribocho, and then kicked Sasuke away.

"Ugh!"

Sasuke let out a muffled groan, and flew out more than ten meters, unable to get up for a long time.

"Sasuke-kun!"

Sakura exclaimed when she saw Sasuke being knocked away, but she soon couldn't make a sound.

Because she felt that there was a pair of terrifying eyes staring at her at this time, and it seemed that as long as she made any movement, it would attract his attention and then be killed!

"Hmph, trash!"

Zabuza sneered disdainfully.

Feeling that Sakura was even weaker than the brat just now, he didn't even have the desire to kill Sakura, and raised the Kubikiribocho in his hand to slash at Tazuna.

Just when Tazuna shouted 'My life is over' in his heart, a golden light pierced through the thick fog, shining on Zabuza so that he couldn't open his eyes.

"What is it?"

Zabuza endured the discomfort in his eyes, trying to open his eyes and look towards the sky.

He found that there was a golden sun there!

"Ninjutsu?"

"It seems that the yellow-haired kid is coming back. I have to make a quick decision!"

Zabuza squinted his eyes to reduce the impact of the dazzling golden light on him, and then raised the Kubikiribocho in his hand again to kill Tazuna!

At this moment, Sakura didn't know where she got the courage, closed her eyes and stabbed at Zabuza with a kunai!

"You are not allowed to hurt Tazuna-san!!"

"Don't get in the way!"

Zabuza, who was interrupted again, became angry, grabbed Sakura who was rushing towards him and threw her out.

Bang!

Sakura's fragile body slammed heavily on the ground, making a painful scream.

"Tch!"

"Looking for death yourself."

Zabuza sneered, and once again raised his knife to kill Tazuna, but at this time, the sound of metal breaking through the air came from behind him!

"That's enough!"

Zabuza blocked the flying shuriken with the Kubikiribocho, and looked at Sasuke who stood up again with an impatient expression.

The golden light not only hindered him from killing Tazuna, but also washed away the fear of these two ants towards him.

"Damn brats!"

"Since you are looking for death, then I will kill you two first!"

Zabuza used a Body Flicker Technique to rush towards Sasuke, and when he got close, he used a powerful downward chop!

Sasuke's speed and reaction were far inferior to Zabuza's, and he couldn't dodge at all.

At this tense moment, Sasuke's eyes underwent a mutation under the stimulation of the crisis of life and death.

The original one-tomoe Sharingan turned into a two-tomoe Sharingan!

'I can see it!'

The two-tomoe Sharingan allowed Sasuke to see the flaws in Zabuza's attack, and also improved his reaction speed.

He seized the opportunity to roll away to avoid Zabuza's chop, and then quickly formed hand seals while the Kubikiribocho was smoothly inserted into the ground.

"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!!"

The raging flames rushed towards Zabuza, reflecting his cheeks red.

Just as Sasuke was about to succeed, Zabuza raised the Kubikiribocho and chopped it down with force!

The C-rank Fire Style ninjutsu was split open by Zabuza with his knife!

"What?"

Sasuke never expected that Zabuza would break his ninjutsu so easily.

He thought he could at least force Zabuza back to buy some time.
