Chapter 25: Zabuza Appears
Mizuki walked out of the forest and praised: "Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura-chan, you three performed very well just now."
Naruto scratched his head and said, "Hey, I'm a genius, I can deal with such small scenes very easily!"
Sasuke: "Tsk, he's obviously a loser, yet he brags about his genius, that's shameless."
Naruto said angrily: "Sasuke, you don't accept it, don't you? Come out and challenge me!"
"If you're one-on-one, you're one-on-one. You'll always be the last one. I'll beat you until you can't get up."
Sasuke was not to be outdone and looked like he was going to beat me up.
He just noticed that Naruto used Shadow Clone Technique and Earth Style. When the earth flows over the wall, there is no seal at all.
Just clap your hands and use it.
This ability is clearly what Mizuki once said, a manifestation of Chakra control ability reaching an extremely strong level.
"I can't even simplify the seals, but he has already managed to release ninjutsu without forming any seals."
"The image he had of being a bad guy in school was definitely an act."
Sasuke was very reluctant.
Thinking back to the time when Naruto was always defeated by him in combat class at school, he felt anxious.
"I'm Uchiha, the strongest, I don't need him to give in."
I want to fight him openly, and I want to prove that I, Uchiha Sasuke, am the strongest.
Seeing that the two men were getting more and more motivated to fight, Mizuki hurriedly stopped them.
"Now is not the time to make trouble. We have just experienced an attack. There may be enemies secretly."
"At times like this, we must remain vigilant."
Hearing this, Naruto and Sasuke immediately calmed down.
The two attackers were tied under the tree. Although their bodies were charred, they were not dead.
Fire Style Ninjutsu is famous for not killing anyone...
"These two are Kirikage's Chūnin, but they show up here to assassinate you."
"Mr. Dazna, I think you need to give a reasonable explanation."
Dazina remained silent.
"Why can you see through our actions and cast the Body Replacement Technique in advance?" A ghost brother asked unwillingly.
Mizuki: "It hasn't rained for several days. It's a sunny day like this, but there is water on the ground. This ambush method is a bit too low-level."
The three little ones suddenly realized.
Dazna asked: "You clearly know, why do you let the children take action? What if there is danger?"
Mizuki smiled and said: "I just wanted to test their courage. I am very satisfied with the result."
"Besides, as long as I'm here, there won't be any danger."
Tatsuna: "What? You're obviously just a Chūnin, why are you so confident?"
Mizuki needs no explanation.
"Next, two of you three must take action and kill these two fog ninjas." Mizuki said calmly.
Naruto was shocked: "What, kill them?"
"They have obviously lost the ability to resist, why do we still want to kill them?"
Naruto is indeed kind.
No wonder, after being treated like that by the villagers, he didn't turn black.
"A kind person is not worthy of becoming a ninja." Sasuke said, taking out a kunai and swiping it across the throat of a ghost brother.
"Sasuke-kun, you..." Little Sakura looked at Sasuke with a trace of fear in her eyes.
Sasuke took care of one and glanced back at Naruto.
"Coward, don't you dare?"
The contemptuous look and condescending attitude made Naruto instantly attracted to him.
"I'm a man determined to become a Hokage. I'm just killing someone. There's nothing I dare to do!"
The kunai swept away, and the remaining Mist nin also received the lunch box.
"Treat your enemies without any mercy!"
"Otherwise, you will harm yourself and your companions!"
Mizuki said calmly, then turned to look at Dazuna and said: "Mr. Dazuna, the mission you issued is C-level. We are only responsible for protecting you from threats from bullies, bandits and other ordinary armed groups."
"But now, there is a ninja assassination. This is beyond the scope of a C-level mission, it is a B-level or even an A-level mission."
"Maybe you have something to hide, but false entrustments will give us a headache."
"Either we give up our mission to protect you, or..."
Or, get the price!
Little Sakura immediately said: "Such a mission is still too dangerous for novices like us!"
Thinking back to the battle just now, especially the scene where Mizuki was cut into several pieces, she felt frightened and wanted to give up.
Naruto shouted: "No, we promised to protect uncle until the bridge is built, how can we give up halfway?"
"Keeping your word is the way of ninja from me, Uzumaki Naruto."
"Besides, the enemy is not very strong, so we don't need to be afraid at all."
Mizuki: "Sasuke, what do you think?"
Sasuke: "I think someone's courage needs more training, so go ahead and treat it as a kind of practice."
Naruto jumped in front of Sasuke and yelled: "Who is brave? I dare to stay alone in the cemetery at night, do you dare?"
Sasuke: "Yeah, it's just a cemetery."
Naruto: "I dare to become a woman, do you dare?"
Sasuke stiffened his neck and said, "I dare!"
Naruto: "I dare to eat shit, do you dare?"
Sasuke: "I...I..."
Naruto held his stomach and said, "Hahaha, you don't dare! You still call me a coward. You don't even dare to eat shit. You are the real coward."
Mizuki: "..."
Little Sakura punched Naruto directly on the head and shouted: "Naruto, if you dare to say such disgusting things again, I will beat you to death."
The group of five people continued on the road and walked for three days before finally reaching the seaside and then taking a boat to the Country of Waves.
"Mr. Dazuna, we are almost at the country of Tatsumi ahead."
"If you don't give a reasonable explanation, then the mission will end when the ship docks."
Dazna decisively betrayed her and then kidnapped her morally.
Naruto was overflowing with sympathy and threatened to carry out the mission to the end.
"Master Mizuki, I will complete this task. If you don't agree, just go back first."
"I can still defeat that bully Cardo by myself."
Mizuki: "Forget it, I've got you."
"But Mr. Dazuna, I will classify this mission as B-level, and the reward will be increased to 100,000 taels."
"Although the Country of Waves has no money now, once the bridge is repaired, the Country of Waves will become rich, and the mission rewards must be paid back by then."
Dazna: "As long as you can protect me and repair the bridge, not to mention 100,000 taels, even 200,000 taels will be fine."
After the boat docked, there was still a forest path away from Dazna's home.
"Everyone, be careful. When we get here, the enemy will launch a surprise attack at any time." Mizuki reminded.
He was already on guard.
Zabuza Momochi, known as the Demon Man, is no ordinary ninja.
Never be careless.
Echolocation has been turned on, making sounds from time to time, and all objects within a radius of 30 meters appear in his mind.
Soon, echolocation detected a person hiding in a tree beside the road.
Carrying a large sword on his back was none other than Zabuza.
"Sasuke, Great Fireball Technique, cast it at me!" Mizuki jumped directly into the air and shouted.
He didn't hesitate and just struck first.
Sasuke was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized something.
Si-Wei-Shen-Hai-Wu-Yin
"Fire Style. Great Fireball Technique!"
Zabuza on the tree had his eyes widened.
"Is it crazy to unleash Fire Style ninjutsu on your own people?"
Also incomprehensible were Naruto, Sakura-chan and Tatsuna.
"Sasuke, what are you doing?" Naruto shouted loudly, then clapped his hands together: "Earth Style. Earth Style Wall!"
Little Sakura also stood in front of Mizuki and began to form seals while looking at Sasuke with a confused look on her face.
Two walls of earth flow rose up in front of Mizuki, successfully blocking Sasuke's Great Fireball.
Mizuki: "..."
My teammates are holding me back.
Originally, the Great Fireball appeared and transformed Zabuza. Even if he did not die, he would be seriously injured.
But now, only three people's Chakra was wasted.
"Master Mizuki, why did you let Mr. Sasuke attack you? And Mr. Sasuke, Mr. Mizuki asked you to attack him, so you attacked him?"
Sasuke ignored him, instead holding a kunai and focusing on guard.
The next moment, the wind sounded.
Mizuki shouted: "Naruto, Sasuke, get down!"
The two also realized the danger and immediately got down. A big knife flew over the two people's heads and struck the tree.
Zabuza appears!
I saw him standing on the handle of the knife, condescending, filled with murderous intent.
"Three brats, one unknown Chūnin, and the ghost brothers failed in your hands. It seems that you are not as simple as you seem."
"But it will be easy for me."
Mizuki didn't talk nonsense to him at all, and quickly backed away, putting some distance between him and little Sakura.
At the same time, three detonating symbols have been activated, so let go of them gently.
Repeat the same trick!
Zabuza's eyes narrowed. He saw all Mizuki's movements, but he couldn't understand them.
The next moment, he changes his form!
"What?"
Zabuza felt the scene in front of him suddenly change. When he looked again, he had reached the position where Mizuki was standing just now, and three detonating charms exploded.
Except for Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura didn't react.
In just a moment, the enemy was eliminated?
"The two people's positions suddenly changed. What kind of ninjutsu is this?" Naruto and little Sakura were filled with curiosity.
Sasuke looked at it with great enthusiasm, wishing that he was the one who performed the apparation.
The explosion ended, but Mizuki discovered that there was no body on the spot, only a puddle of water on the ground.
"Water body?" Mizuki's pupils narrowed.
This Zabuza is difficult to deal with.
In the river not far away, Zabuza suddenly realized something.
"No wonder, he just asked the black-haired kid to attack him with Fire Style. It turns out that he can switch places with others. Fortunately, I was cautious and tested it with water, otherwise I would have been seriously injured by now."
"In addition, when the clone was hiding in the tree just now, he has already discovered that it is very likely that it has the ability to sense, and the sensing distance is about 30 meters."
In an instant, Zabuza had analyzed a large amount of useful information.
"This person is very dangerous. He is different from the previous enemies. I must be careful!"
Zabuza no longer looked down upon him, but he didn't feel like he couldn't deal with it.
"But no matter how weird his abilities are, he is still just a Chūnin. Once he runs out of Chakra, he will no longer pose any threat to me."
He recreated a water clone, then raised his hand:
"Water Style. Mist Shinobi Technique!"
