Naruto : I Aspire To Become Hokage Man

---

Sasuke ignored Naruto, pulled out his kunai, and charged forward.

Zabuza sneered at his back. "Heh, a Genin kid who just graduated actually dares to face me. Not bad... But—"

Before he could finish, Sasuke instantly appeared in front of Zabuza's water clone. Clang! His kunai clashed against the massive blade of the Executioner's Blade, ringing out sharply.

Sasuke immediately jumped back. "Lightning Release: Chidori!"

Lightning crackled around Sasuke's hand, producing a piercing chirping sound, like a thousand birds crying.

"Nani?!" Zabuza's face twisted in disbelief. He turned to Kakashi. "I didn't expect you to teach him that jutsu this early."

Kakashi was just as confused. What the hell? I never taught anyone that. How does he know it?! Did my own ninjutsu just get copied?

"Hmph! But too bad," Zabuza smirked. "That brat doesn't have a Sharingan. A Chidori of that level won't hit me!"

Zabuza jumped back, easily avoiding Sasuke's attack.

Sasuke frowned and glanced back at Naruto, who simply shook his head at him.

Without hesitation, Sasuke formed another set of hand seals. "Lightning Release: Twin Raikiri!"

Suddenly, an advanced version of Chidori—Raikiri—sparked in both of Sasuke's hands!

"Nani?!" Zabuza's eyes widened. When the hell did Konoha's Genin become this strong?! This kid's chakra level is nearly that of an elite Chūnin?!

If Naruto could hear his thoughts, he'd probably snort. Tch, if only you knew that his older brother was already Kage-level at this age. Even if it was thanks to the Sharingan, still—

"But it's useless!" Zabuza barked. "No matter how powerful the technique, if you can't land a hit, it's meaningless!"

He switched to a full defensive stance, dodging and evading. But then, Sasuke suddenly clasped his palms together—his two Raikiri merging into one massive surge of electricity. He thrust his hands forward.

"Lightning Style: Shocking Palm!"

The crackling lightning burst forward at Zabuza!

"Impossible!" Both Zabuza and Kakashi were stunned, but Zabuza reacted fast. His hands blurred into seals.

"Water Release: Water Wall!"

A thick barrier of water surged up in front of him. He smirked. "It's a shame. You're still too young!"

But Sasuke suddenly flicked his hands. The lightning changed direction mid-air, sliding along the surface of the water wall—before curving around it!

"Nani?! No, that's—"

Before he could react, the redirected lightning struck the water beneath Zabuza's feet.

A deafening crackle! sounded as electricity surged through the water.

Both Zabuza and Kakashi instantly leaped away, their hair standing on end from the shock.

"Damn it! I underestimated this brat," Zabuza growled.

"Amazing! Sasuke!" Sakura cheered. "He's actually fighting an elite Jōnin on equal ground! As expected from the top of the class!"

Sasuke, however, was out of breath, dropping to the ground. Even without his weighted training gear, maintaining chakra flow was exhausting.

Sakura hurried to help him up—but to her surprise, she couldn't lift him.

"Move aside," Naruto said, stepping forward. "I got this."

He grabbed Sasuke, effortlessly lifted him, and tossed him behind like a sack of potatoes.

Zabuza narrowed his eyes. "Tch, I didn't expect the Water Prison to be broken..."

Kakashi smirked. "'Broken'? No, it was completely countered." He turned to Sasuke, his expression unreadable. This kid... he's a monster. He just graduated, yet his strength is already near elite Chūnin level...

Zabuza glared at Sasuke in irritation.

Kakashi suddenly spoke, his voice sharp. "Just so you know, the same trick won't work on me twice."

Zabuza's forehead creased. His hands blurred into seals.

Kakashi immediately followed, matching him seal-for-seal.

Naruto's face twitched at the ridiculous scene. Seriously? Is this an elite Jōnin fight?

The hand seals were rapid—"Ox—Monkey—Hare—Rat—Boar—Snake—Horse—Dragon—Tiger—Ox—Ram—Dragon—Ox—Dog—Hare—Ox—Rooster—Monkey—Snake—Hare—Tiger—Dog—Horse—Ox—Rat—Monkey—Dog—Ox—Boar—Rooster—Monkey—Ox—Tiger—Rat—Boar—Snake—Hare—Monkey—Ram—Snake—Dragon—Ox—Hare—Tiger—Boar—Rat—Monkey—Dog—Horse—Ox—Rooster—Monkey—Dog—Hare—Boar—Tiger—Monkey—Ox—Dragon—Ram—Boar—Tiger—Dog—Monkey—Rat—Horse—Ox—Dragon—Monkey—Dog—Rooster—Monkey—Rat—Hare—Dragon—Rooster—Dog—Ox—Monkey—Dog—Rat—Hare—Monkey—Ox—Rooster—Dog—Tiger—Horse—Ram—Ox—Rat—Monkey—Dragon—Ox—Ram—Snake—Tiger—Hare—Boar—Dog—Monkey—Rooster—Ox—Horse—Dragon—Monkey—Rat—Ox—Tiger—Dog-bla-bla-bla-blah-blah-

The sequence continued at lightning speed.

Naruto sighed. Is this a battle or a goddamn tutorial?

A massive water dragon erupted from the river—mirrored by an identical one on Kakashi's side.

The two water dragons clashed mid-air!

"To replicate such a complex jutsu instantly... it's insane," Sasuke muttered in awe.

Naruto rolled his eyes. "Bruh, that wasn't 'instant.' That took, like, a full damn minute."

The next moment, Kakashi and Zabuza clashed—kunai against the Executioner's Blade.

Zabuza's face twisted in shock. What's going on? Sharingan should only be able to copy my jutsu. But... this guy...

If Naruto could hear his thoughts, he'd laugh. No, dumbass. He's just straight-up messing with you.

Kakashi mimicked Zabuza's every move—perfectly mirroring his stance, posture, even his words.

"Damn it! He's completely reading me!" Zabuza clenched his teeth. Those arrogant eyes—damn Sharingan!

"You can't defeat me, you monkey trickster!" Kakashi and Zabuza said in unison.

Naruto yawned from the sidelines. Man, this scene never gets old. When the hell did Sharingan gain mind-reading abilities?

Both fighters formed seals at high speed—but Kakashi finished first.

"Water Release: Giant Vortex Jutsu!"

A swirling torrent of water shot up like a massive drill, surging toward Zabuza.

Kakashi dashed forward, flinging kunai mid-air—piercing through Zabuza's arms and legs.

Zabuza staggered. His eyes widened.

"Can you see the future?!"

Kakashi's expression darkened. "Seems like I can foresee your death."

Suddenly—

A figure appeared on a nearby tree, throwing a barrage of senbon at Zabuza's neck.

"Yes, he's dead now," the newcomer said.

Kakashi and Sasuke tensed. Who?!

Then, they saw him—Haku, standing in the trees. He bowed slightly. "Thank you. I've been waiting for an opportunity to finish off Zabuza."

"You're a hunter-nin from Kirigakure?" Kakashi asked.

"As expected from Copy Ninja Kakashi," Haku replied. "You know a lot."

Then, Haku suddenly gasped in horror.

"What are you doing?!"

Everyone turned—

Naruto was crouched next to Zabuza's seemingly lifeless body, kunai in hand.

"Oh, this?" Naruto looked up blankly. "I was worried this bastard might not actually be dead. Thought I'd cut off his head for you."

"NO!" Haku yelped, visibly panicked. "Kirigakure requires the whole body intact!"

Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Tch. Fine. Suit yourself."

Haku quickly shouldered Zabuza's limp body and vanished in a blur.

Sakura stared at Naruto like he'd grown two heads. "You were seriously about to cut off his head?!"

Naruto shrugged. "Blame me for being thorough."
