Kado's arrogance angered all the Konoha ninjas. Even Kakashi, who was used to seeing misery, frowned, and his finger was caught on the tail ring of a kunai without him knowing.
But he did not throw the kunai, and neither did Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura. Even the most impulsive Uzumaki Naruto did not really attack and hurt anyone.
Even though he was so angry that his face was grim and the veins on his forehead were bulging, he still controlled his hands and feet. He didn't want to be a rebel ninja, he still wanted to be Hokage.
In the peaceful and orderly environment of Konoha Village, Konoha ninjas are trained to be accustomed to rules and discipline, but not all ninjas are like this.
Especially those guys who have become rebel ninjas.
Suddenly, a big hand appeared on Cardo's head, grabbed his white hair and pulled it upwards.
At least half of his hair had been pulled out by the roots, but the remaining half was enough to support a person's weight, so Cardo was hung up.
The severe pain in his scalp made him scream. He turned half a circle and saw Zabuza's evil face. He screamed even louder out of fright.
But no one expected that the severe pain could not stop Cardo from shouting: "Damn Zabuza, you dare to hit me, I will kill you!"
"No, I won't kill you, I'm going to chop off your limbs and let you live like a dog!"
He also loudly ordered the ronin: "Are you all dead?"
"Hurry up and save me. Catch this ninja. I want to chop off his hand myself!"
Cardo's shouting gradually stopped because he saw that the wanderers around him were slowly slipping, but only their upper bodies were slipping.
Blood spurted out from the severed lower body like a fountain. The smell of blood instantly filled the air, and even the air turned a light rose-red.
The surviving ronin had never seen such a bloody scene. Eighty or ninety of them were so frightened that their legs were trembling. Not to mention drawing their swords to attack, they could not even stand and all collapsed to the ground.
At least a dozen of them had lost control of their bladders, and the smell of blood was augmented by an unpleasant stench.
Zabuza Momochi frowned in disgust, picked up Kado and jumped more than ten meters away to avoid the stench.
The high-speed movement brought high acceleration, which tore off a small part of Cardo's hair. The blood flowed down his scalp and all over his face.
But this time he clenched his teeth and dared not scream anymore.
After all, he was a wealthy businessman who had seen the world. More than a dozen ronin were cut in half at the same time, which made him finally realize how extraordinary Zabuza's strength was.
The dozen or so unlucky guys who were beheaded were not dead yet. They were all screaming madly. Some tried to put their lower bodies back on, while others tried to stuff their leaking internal organs back into their stomachs.
When Cardo saw this scene, he knew that Zabuza, who was pulling his hair, really dared to kill someone. How could he dare to make a sound?
He has a lot of money, lots and lots of money, and he doesn't want to die.
The horrifying scene frightened Cardo, and the wanderers who were nearby were completely frightened silly. At this time, a few brave guys had recovered and were running away crawling.
Zabuza grinned, threw Cardo to the ground, and quickly formed seals with his hands.
Water Style: Water Bullet Technique
Water mist rose from the sea surface and gathered in Zabuza's hands, transforming into water bombs as big as a human head, which were fired out at high speed.
The water bullets drew arc-shaped trajectories and hit the ronin's heads accurately, causing their heads to burst and white brain matter to splatter everywhere.
With just one round of Water Bullet Technique, Zabuza wiped out hundreds of armed ronin.
Including the dozen or so half-ronin who were screaming on the ground, not a single one was left out, and the scene instantly became quiet.
Zabuza's calm and nonchalant attack fully demonstrated the strength of the ninja and proved how vulnerable ordinary armed forces are in front of the ninja.
The reactions of the Konoha ninjas varied.
Hatake Kakashi silently pushed up his forehead protector, revealing the three-magatama Sharingan. He stared at Zabuza with a serious expression, his heart full of doubts.
How come Zabuza Momochi's strength has increased so much in just two weeks?
Uchiha Sasuke also noticed something unusual and subconsciously opened his Sharingan. He took out a kunai and steel wire and stood on guard carefully.
Haruno Sakura was shocked by the deaths of hundreds of people and did not notice the change in Zabuza's strength at all, or perhaps she did not know how powerful Zabuza was.
Only Uzumaki Naruto was different. After getting rid of his companions' control, he pointed at Zabuza and asked loudly: "How can you kill people indiscriminately?"
Momochi Zabuza turned to look at the blond haired boy and sneered, "I am Zabuza, the 'demon' of the Hidden Mist Village. Isn't it normal for me to kill people?"
As he spoke, the beheading sword had already fallen to the ground, splitting Cardo, whose eyes were rolling around, into two pieces.
Zabuza looked at Naruto provocatively: "Look, I killed someone again."
"you!"
Uzumaki Naruto was furious, but he didn't know what to say.
Cardo is not a good person, but a damn arrogant villain. He is also a big villain who is protected by the rules and cannot be harmed by Naruto Uzumaki.
To be honest, Uzumaki Naruto was very happy that Zabuza killed him.
I don't know why, but deep down he firmly believes that it is wrong to kill anyone.
Quite contradictory.
Suddenly, Zabuza's aura burst out, mixed with violent murderous intent, pressing towards everyone.
He has great momentum and murderous intent, but this kind of momentum-based attack focuses on surprise and is not suitable for dealing with experienced veterans.
The three little ones present did not have much experience, but they gained experience from Orochimaru, and they all held up in the face of Zabuza's momentum.
But the people from the Wave Country behind them were not in this situation.
They were already frightened by the ronin, and then by the bloody massacre of hundreds of people. Then, under the pressure of Zabuza's aura, they fell to the ground trembling.
Then an inexplicable force emerged from the body, and everyone ran up the bridge frantically and fled to the other end of the bridge.
Zabuza raised two fingers and said with a smile: "Although my illusion skills are not that good, I can still deal with ordinary people without any problems."
"Now that no one is disturbing us, it's time to end our feud."
Hatake Kakashi pulled out his kunai: "How dare you challenge a four-man team from Konoha Village by yourself?"
Zabuza pointed his sword at Kakashi: "I'm not stupid, my target is only you."
"As for the three Genin, there will naturally be someone to help me hold them back."
Uchiha Sasuke snorted coldly: "Your companion is the fake Anbu ninja who deceived us, let him come out, I want to take revenge on him."
Uzumaki Naruto also took out a kunai: "No matter who tries to stop me, I'm going to beat you up today."
Haruno Sakura cautiously took two steps back: "You two should stop messing around, and cooperate with teacher Kakashi to gain the greatest advantage."
Secret Technique: Thousand Killings Water Flying
A large number of ice thousand bones shot towards the four Konoha ninjas like a rainstorm. The three Genins, without any tacit understanding, dodged and immediately kept their distance.
Zabuza took the opportunity to rush towards the weakest Sakura Haruno, wielding his sword.
Without the protection of the formation, a single Genin was no match for the Jonin, and Hatake Kakashi had to turn around halfway and stand in front of his student to stop Zabuza.
The clash of the kunai and the beheading sword was silent. Hatake Kakashi almost sprained his waist because of the excessive force. He looked at Zabuza in surprise: "You want to get me out..."
A huge force suddenly came from the sword, forcing Kakashi to stop talking and fight it with all his strength.
The wrestling between the two sides lasted for a few seconds. It was Zabuza who stopped first, and the two separated and entered a state of confrontation.
"'Konoha Technician' Hatake Kakashi, I didn't expect that you are famous for your Sharingan and ninjutsu, but you are also so good at taijutsu and strength. You are indeed the benchmark ninja of the new generation of Konoha Village."
Momochi Zabuza swung his beheading sword and made a flower, fully demonstrating his skill in making light of heavy objects: "It is my luck to have the opportunity to compete with you."
[In my time and space, the Fourth Hokage Orochimaru was too vengeful. Even for the sake of the Hidden Mist Village, I dare not hand over a knife to the ninja of the Leaf Village.]
[I must have enough fun in this time and space! ]
[Just be careful not to kill him, otherwise Uchiha Yuu-sama will dislike you when you return. ]
[Tsk, this is worse than being remembered by Orochimaru. ]
[It's really annoying. Why doesn't the Hidden Mist Village have a strong person like Uchiha Yuu-sama to protect it? No, we can't even choose the Sixth Mizukage. ]
[The people of Konoha Village are so lucky. ]
Zabuza Momochi looked at Kakashi Hatake in front of him and became more and more jealous. The ninjas of Konoha Village could be protected across time and space. He was so jealous.
Jealousy can make a person unrecognizable, but it can also make a person burst with fighting spirit.
"Hatake Kakashi, you lucky bastard, you'll die well before me!"
Zabuza Momochi was ignited by the raging fire of jealousy. He roared, swung his sword and rushed towards Kakashi Hatake.
Hatake Kakashi: ..., you bastard, listen to what you are saying?
When did the word "lucky bastard" become associated with white-haired Kakashi?
Is it lucky to lose your father when you are young? Is it lucky to lose all your teammates before you reach adulthood? Is it lucky to lose your teacher and his wife when they are just adults?
Is it lucky that all the people close to me are dead???
Kakashi Hatake was indifferent to Zabuza's attack, but the words "lucky bastard" aroused his anger.
Kill you.
Hatake Kakashi threw a kunai with red eyes, then quickly formed a seal.
Lightning Release: Chidori
As he spread his hands apart, powerful Lightning Chakra gathered in his hands, dazzling lightning flashed, and high-frequency electronic music sounded like the annoying chirping of a chirping bird.
Hatake Kakashi followed the thrown kunai with two bright beams of light and rushed towards Momochi Zabuza.
Zabuza Momochi laughed strangely and suddenly changed the direction of the beheading sword in his hand, from a straight cut to a diagonal return cut.
Because the axis of rotation was not at the handle but at two-thirds of the blade, the slashing speed was incredibly fast, hitting Kakashi Hatake's left hand and both hands successively.
Orochimaru and Uchiha Yuu worked together to pacify the ninja world for two years. Although the Hidden Mist Village did not elect a new Sixth Mizukage, it accumulated war experience in a peaceful environment and developed numerous ninjutsu, taijutsu, and swordsmanship.
Half-body return slash is one of them.
Converting from a full-sword heavy chop to a rotation naturally has an acceleration effect, so the speed can be doubled out of thin air, but the skill requirements for the user are also doubled.
Momochi Zabuza needs to exert force in advance and prepare for a period of time before he can suddenly change the momentum of his sword. This requires him to be able to accurately predict the target position.
Moreover, he did not have a bloodline limit like the Sharingan or Byakugan. When using the Reverse Slash, he could not see the path of the sword at all, and had to rely entirely on the feeling gained from practice to control it.
Although it is difficult to use, the explosive speed is indeed useful. Although Kakashi Hatake can see the path of the sword clearly with the help of the Sharingan, his body is not that fast. He can only move his hands with difficulty and use Chidori to resist the attack of the beheading sword.
There were two crisp explosions, and the two elite jonin crossed each other. The beheading sword in Zabuza's hand broke into two parts as usual. A knife mark appeared on Kakashi's cheek, and a small section of his mask was cut.
Kakashi looked at Zabuza in surprise, only to see him casually throw away half of the sword, start moving his wrists and turning his neck, ready for hand-to-hand combat.
Kakashi Hatake finally confirmed that the previous thought was definitely not an illusion. The strength of the "demon" Zabuza had made a huge leap in the past two weeks, even more than that of his three students.
Before, he could handle it casually, at most using the Sharingan to assist, but now he had to use all his strength to achieve a draw.
The powerful enemy aroused Kakashi's dying fighting consciousness. The anger in his heart did not disappear, but he had calmed down and his emotions could no longer interfere with his judgment.
The figures of the two senior ninjas disappeared. Their speed was so fast that it was completely beyond the visual perception of ordinary people.
The only one who could see clearly, Uchiha Sasuke, was trapped in a cage made of ice mirrors.
Not only him, Haruno Sakura's feet were frozen by simple icicles, and Uzumaki Naruto was also accidentally scratched by more than a dozen ice shurikens and his body was covered with scars.
Wearing a mask, a bun in his hair, and the uniform of the Anbu of the Hidden Mist Village, Bai showed strength as a jonin that was not inferior to that of Zabuza before, and easily crushed the uncoordinated Konoha Team 7.
He said to the three Genin, "Don't move, and no one will die."
Hearing this gentle voice, Haruno Sakura felt comfortable and calmed down.
Uzumaki Naruto recognized Bai from her voice. This "big sister" who was extremely gentle to him, willing to train and fish with him, and willing to listen to his true feelings, and whom he had a great affection for... turned out to be an enemy!
Naruto's heart suffered a critical hit of 10,000 points, his mind was in a mess, he looked at the mask at a loss, but in his heart he hoped that the face behind it was different.
Uchiha Sasuke, the only normal ninja in Team 7, would not listen to the enemy. Seeing that the narrow space was not in his favor, he formed hand seals without hesitation.
Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique
A huge fireball was blown out of Sasuke's mouth and hit the ice mirror in front steadily. The moment the two sides came into contact, a huge roar was heard.
The flames and storms were unable to tear the ice mirror apart. The flames produced greater destructive power in a small space, and Uchiha Sasuke was almost killed by his own ninjutsu.
If Bai hadn't made a quick decision and created another ice mirror to isolate Sasuke in a corner of the ice mirror array, he would definitely be in a miserable state at this moment, at least his hair would not just be messy.
Bai suppressed all the Konoha Genin, and then said, "Don't move, I don't want to kill anyone."
Uchiha Sasuke sneered: "What a ridiculous kindness, you took the initiative to attack us, and you asked us not to move because you don't want to kill anyone?"
"I never thought that the Kirigakure Ninja, who is known for his brutal killings, would be so hypocritical."
He pointed at Bai Zhi and asked, "Do you dare to say that your purpose is not to hurt us?"
Bai was silent for a while, then said, "It's true that I won't kill anyone, but I will still cause serious injuries."
Uchiha Sasuke laughed angrily: "That's great, you are so shameless!"
Bai looked at him and said, "Please believe in my sincerity. With your weak strength, it will be useless even if you resist with all your strength. Instead of resisting beyond your ability, it is better to wait for your jonin battle to end."
Being treated as a weakling, Haruno Sakura didn't react at all, but Sasuke and Naruto were angry.
Sasuke, who was trapped in the ice mirror cage, glared with red eyes and roared: "Don't you underestimate Uchiha!"
He quickly formed hand seals and completed his second best fire ninjutsu.
Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique
Uchiha Sasuke believed that a single large fireball could not break the ice mirror, but perhaps dense flames might be able to do so, as long as he could emit enough flames.
In an instant, the ice crystal magic mirror exploded and flames appeared, blocking Sasuke's figure.
On the other side, Uzumaki Naruto also stood up, his anger defeating his doubts and confusion.
He took an attacking stance and yelled, "Don't underestimate me, I want to be the Hokage!"
Uzumaki Naruto crossed his fingers and shouted, "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
A flash of orange light appeared on his body, and a huge amount of chakra surged out like a tide, instantly filling the entire field with white smoke.
Hundreds of Uzumaki Naruto were crowded together and making a lot of noise. Some rushed directly towards Bai, some surrounded Haruno Sakura, and some reached out to pull the huge ice mirror.
There were so many Uzumaki Narutos that Bai, who lacked combat experience, didn't know how to deal with them. He first retreated a sufficient distance, then formed hand seals and performed ninjutsu.
As a ninja who has awakened the bloodline limit of ice escape, he is also proficient in water escape and wind escape.
Water Style: Thousand Needles
The white mist in the sky condensed into clouds, the white clouds gathered to block the sunlight and became dark clouds, in the dark clouds heavy rain poured down, the raindrops were full of chakra, the water was gathered into needles, pouring down towards the battlefield.
Bai used too much force in his panic, and the Thousand Needles of Rain and Dew actually covered everyone. Even the previous battle between the two jonin was affected, disrupting their fighting rhythm.
The one who was at a disadvantage was Hatake Kakashi.
As a member of the Hidden Mist Village, Zabuza Momochi is good at fighting in the rain and is more familiar with fighting under this kind of water-based ninjutsu. His body can even automatically slide away from the Water Condensation Thousand Bones without being affected in the slightest.
However, Kakashi Hatake was not used to fighting in this kind of environment. He was distracted and his movements were slow, and he was suppressed by Zabuza.
Zabuza took a half step back and began to make hand seals, the same lengthy hand seal technique.
Kakashi was unable to show weakness and he dodged the raindrops while performing hand seals simultaneously.
The battle escalated.
