Chapter 97
[‘Wow! I didn’t expect him to be so powerful! ’ Kakashi, who was trapped in the water prison, looked unhappy. ]
[At this time, Zabuza separated a water clone and prepared to deal with the others first and then deal with Kakashi. ]
[“Hehe, don’t think that you are a ninja just because you wear a forehead protector. Only those who have experienced life and death can be called true ninjas! In other words, only those who are listed in the manual by this uncle can be considered true ninjas. You are not qualified!” The water clone walked onto the shore, and the overwhelming murderous aura made Naruto and others look terrified. 】
["Zabuza is such a cocky guy. Does he mean that only those recognized by him can be considered ninjas!"]
["It's not your turn to judge whether he is qualified or not. He is just a stray dog chased away by Kirigakure. How dare you speak so shamelessly here!"]
["No, the word stray dog can't be put on Zabuza. He is one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Even if he becomes a rebel, he is better than most ninjas!"]
["Zabuza is just a guy with more experience. Why are you showing off in front of a few Genin? If you have the guts, why do you want to compete with Naruto in a few years! "]
["What are you talking about? Why do you want to compete with them in a few years? According to you, if I beat up a hundred-year-old Uchiha Madara, does that mean I am better than him!"]
["When we fight, we should use our strengths. It is meaningless to substitute the past and the future!"]
[As soon as he finished speaking, Zabuza stepped forward and kicked Naruto away, then stepped on the forehead protector that Naruto had dropped.]
[Naruto, who had no power to fight back, was frightened and trembled all over. He subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away under Kakashi's anxious advice, but as soon as he moved, he saw the bandaged wound on his hand and immediately remembered the oath he had made not long ago.]
[Turning back and looking at the forehead protector that Zabuza had stepped on, Naruto remembered the story between him and the forehead protector. He suppressed his fear and rushed towards Zabuza with a shout. 】
["Everyone, cherish Naruto's embarrassed look, he won't show this expression in the future!"]
["Because a vow can overcome the fear in his heart, no wonder this silly kid can become so strong in the future!"]
["Ninja way? There are not many people who still retain this traditional belief these days!"]
"Speak directly and do what you say..." Although Naruto always said this, it was not until then that he realized that he did not have the courage and faith to practice the way of ninja.
Just because he saw too many scenes of his future self showing his power, he felt that he could do the same, but the reality was that the murderous aura exuded by a jonin could evoke his fear and make him show that cowardly expression.
Touching his forehead protector, Naruto recalled the expression on Iruka's face when he handed it to him, took a deep breath, patted his face and cheered up.
It doesn't matter, since he has discovered the weakness, he will work hard to overcome it. Compared with his dream, this little fear is nothing!
[“It seems that they said earlier that this is their first long-distance mission, right? Is it good or bad to encounter this kind of enemy for the first time!”]
[“This kind of emergency situation is rare. Maybe it can help you grow a lot, but the mortality rate is extremely high. Didn’t you see Kakashi fail!”]
[“This situation can’t be changed by Naruto’s courage. I’m really curious about how they survived Zabuza’s hands!”]
[Naruto was kicked away by Zabuza again without any preparation. Fortunately, his purpose was just to get back the forehead protector that Zabuza stepped on. 】
【"Listen to me...you eyebrowless guy!" Naruto put on his forehead protector again with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and said to Zabuza with a defiant look on his face: "Write it down in your handbook, the man who will become Hokage sooner or later, Konoha-ryu ninja, Uzumaki Naruto!!"】
["A ninja like Zabuza actually knows how to play cat and mouse. He could have been dealt with when Naruto rushed forward!"]
["Naruto's momentum is still lacking, but he already looks like he has a future!"]
["Hahaha, I don't know if Zabuza Have you written Naruto's name in the notebook now? Naruto, you can ask him when you meet him later!"]
Zabuza twitched his lips and said coldly in a low voice: "The momentum is very good, but it still can't change anything. You are not qualified to be remembered by me at this level!"
Unexpectedly, Bai on the side suddenly revealed his past: "But Mr. Zabuza, I remember that you have already written down their names in the notebook before."
"... You talk too much, Bai."
[Perhaps it is because of the clear thoughts,Naruto's mind suddenly became clear, and he came up with a battle plan in an instant, but Kakashi was not very optimistic about it. ]
[He sternly told the three to take Dazna away immediately, but at this time Dazna, contrary to his usual behavior, told Naruto and the others not to worry about his life and to do what they wanted. ]
["Naruto's brain power is still a mystery!"]
["It seems that the more critical the situation is, the faster his mind works!"]
["Kakashi is too concerned and confused. Now the only way for Naruto and the others to be rescued is to rescue him. If they run away, they will be more likely to lose their lives!"]
Kakashi scratched his head awkwardly. He didn't expect him to perform so badly. Was it because he hadn't encountered a strong enemy for too long?
'It seems that it's not just Naruto and the others. I have to work harder. I can't really leave all the problems to them! '
[Looking at Naruto and the others eager to try, Zabuza lowered his head and sneered. 】
【"Hehe, little brats are little brats! How long do you want to play this ninja game!" Zabuza showed a ferocious expression, spread his palms and said to Naruto and the others: "When I was your age, my hands were already stained with blood!"】
【Afterwards, through Kakashi, Naruto and the others learned about the graduation exam of the bloody mist village and Zabuza's deeds of killing all the graduates of the same class. 】
["In terms of being cruel to their own people, the Kusagakure Village is not even worthy of carrying shoes for the Mist Village!"]
["Living in such a place for a long time, your mind will become abnormal!"]
["Although this kind of assessment method can allow ninjas to see blood and temper their character early, normal training may not be unable to cultivate excellent ninjas. There is no need to waste ninja resources like this!"]
["Who knows what they are thinking? I thought that the policy would change after the death of the Third Mizukage, but the Fourth Mizukage was even crazier than him and directly aimed the butcher knife at the bloodline family!"]
