116: Chapter 116 Sasuke! The Fated NemesisHe looked up abruptly and keenly noticed that the fog around him was becoming extremely thick at an unnatural speed, and the icy, bone-chilling moisture instantly obscured his vision!
"careful--!"
Kakashi shouted sternly, "Sasuke!Sakura!Back to back!High alert!Mr.Tazuna, come here right now!"
He instantly pulled Tazna behind him, his right eye, sharp as an eagle's, scanning the thick, impenetrable white mist!
Sakura quickly drew her kunai, leaning against Kakashi and Sasuke, her heart pounding with tension.
"Kakashi-sensei!This is that guy's.Hidden Mist Technique, isn't it?"
A cold, murderous voice, like a ghost, came from the depths of the thick fog from all directions, clearly penetrating everyone's ears:
"Hmph.Sorry to keep you waiting.Kakashi."
Thick fog billowed, as if a gigantic shadow was writhing within it."Still.I'm bringing these.useless brats."
The voice seemed to pause deliberately, carrying an undisguised, cruel mockery, piercing precisely at the black-haired boy:
"Oh dear.that show-off brat.is he trembling again?How.pitiful."
Sasuke's body stiffened abruptly!
He could feel that cold gaze fixed on him as if it were a physical object, and the immense pressure made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
The murderous aura.that murderous aura, like a leech, surged up from all directions once again!
He bit his lower lip hard, his fingers gripping the kunai so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and his body.was indeed trembling slightly!
But this time, deep within those dark pupils, besides fear, there was more of a suppressed humiliation and.a raging, burning rage, like a volcano!
"Ha.cowards who cling to life, I'm just trembling with excitement!"
Upon hearing Sasuke's rebuttal of "a coward who clings to life," the Zabuza phantoms formed from the water clones in the thick fog seemed to pause slightly, and an invisible anger permeated the fog.
Despite the tense atmosphere, Kakashi subtly curled the corners of his mouth upwards, glancing at Sasuke with only his right eye visible, and said in a deep voice, "Let's do it, Sasuke!"
Almost as soon as Kakashi finished speaking, several Zabuza water clones pounced from different directions like sharks smelling blood!The blades drew cold arcs in the thick fog!
However, Sasuke was even faster!
"Swish!Swish!Swish—!"
Sasuke moved like a ghost through the flashing swords, dodging, and counterattacking!
The kunai pierced the vital points of the water clone with precision, each hit accompanied by a soft "plop" sound and a burst of water!
In the blink of an eye, Sasuke swiftly defeated the several water clones that rushed at him, one by one!
It turned into puddles of murky water, splashing onto the cold steel bridge surface!
"What?"
From the direction they came from, deep within the dense fog, came Zabuza's true voice, tinged with astonishment, "He could actually see through my water clone.and.he was so fast?"
He paused, and for the first time, his tone carried a renewed appreciation for Sasuke."That kid.he's improved quite a bit!"
He turned to Bai beside him, "Bai, it seems your formidable rival has appeared."
His expression was obscured by the white mask, but his voice remained calm and gentle: "I suppose so, Lord Zabuza."
The two sides faced off in the thick fog, the atmosphere so tense it was almost palpable.
Kakashi broke the silence first, his voice carrying an all-knowing understanding: "It seems my prediction was correct."
"Expected?" Zabuza's voice was filled with doubt.
Kakashi's sharp gaze pierced through the mist, precisely locking onto Haku's location: "That masked kid."
He paused, his tone laced with sarcasm, "As expected, all that talk about the Hidden Mist's pursuit force was just a complete lie.They're clearly Zabuza's accomplices, aren't they?Standing together."
He pointed at Bai with his finger, his tone becoming more forceful: "That guy still has the nerve to stand up openly?I hate these kinds of pretentious charlatans the most!"
The words had barely left his mouth when—"Pfft!"
Sakura couldn't help but laugh out loud, then realized the inappropriate situation and quickly covered her mouth, but the sarcastic remark still slipped out:
"When it comes to covering one's face and playing tricks.Kakashi-sensei, you seem to have more to say on this, don't you?"
After all, he always wears a mask to cover his face and loves reading erotic novels to appear profound.
Kakashi's body visibly stiffened, his exposed eye instantly turning into a dead fish eye, and he awkwardly scratched the back of his head:
"Uh.really?" This sabotage came out of nowhere.
Meanwhile, Sasuke, his gaze fixed on Haku like a hawk's, spoke in a cold voice filled with undisguised disgust:
"I'll deal with this guy!He's resorting to these kinds of tricks.I hate people who play tricks!"
Upon hearing this, Sakura immediately clutched her heart, her eyes sparkling with pink bubbles, and let out a soft scream:
Wow!Sasuke-kun is so handsome!
Completely ignoring Sasuke's words, which were almost identical to Kakashi's earlier remarks, he said something completely different.
Kakashi watched from the side, his eyes twitching, inwardly cursing:
"Hey!Sakura!This guy just told me almost exactly what he meant!Your double standards are so obvious!"
Zabuza snorted coldly and warned Haku:
"Bai, did you hear that?That bitter and resentful kid isn't as simple as he seems."
Although the water clone only possessed one-tenth the strength of the original body, the fact that it was dealt with so easily demonstrates that its power should not be underestimated.
Bai Wei nodded slightly, her voice remaining steady beneath the mask:
"Yes, Lord Zabuza.I am ready."
Go!
"yes!"
The white figure moved instantly!There was no earth-shattering momentum, only extreme speed and precision!
His body was like a weightless feather, or a rapidly spinning top, moving in a way that was dazzling to the eye.With a dazzling trajectory and an extremely tricky angle, it silently attacked Sasuke!
He had somehow found himself holding a senbon needle that gleamed with a cold light in his hand!
Sasuke's pupils constricted sharply!Haku's speed far exceeded his expectations!A strong sense of crisis instantly enveloped him!
"So fast!"
Sasuke's internal alarm bells were ringing, but he did not back down!
Thanks to his recent hellish tree-climbing training and improved chakra manipulation, his physical reaction speed has been pushed to the limit!
"Clang!Clang!Clang—!"
The kunai and the senbon sparked a dense barrage of sparks in an extremely short time!
Sasuke gritted his teeth and used his extraordinary insight to the fullest extent to block and dodge Bai's attacks, which were like a rain of pear blossoms, with great difficulty!
Although he looked rather disheveled, he managed to keep up with Bai's pace!
"oh?"
A genuine look of surprise flashed in Zabuza's eyes."To be able to keep up with Haku's speed.this kid.he's actually got some skills!"
