"Don't move." Kakashi stood behind Zabuza and put a Kunai on his neck, believing that if Zabuza made any funny moves, he would die.
"Not bad, finally copying the first jutsu." Standing not far away, Ryoha said excitedly. The feeling of copying jutsu was too good.
Too bad his Sharingan and his insight were not comparable to that of the 3-tomoe. Otherwise, as long as it was not a secret jutsu or Bloodline Limit-based jutsu, even if it were an A-rank ninjutsu, he could copy it. But even Ryoha was still in the 2-tomoe, the water clone jutsu was still easy to replicate.
For the A-rank Great Waterfall Jutsu, it would be a bit difficult. Fortunately, the speed of the hand seal was not too fast, so even if he could not instantly copy and use them like Kakashi, after looking at it once, it would not be long before he could use it.
If he awakened the third magatama, his attainments in ninjutsu would be improved. Then he would be like Kakashi, who could instantly copy even super-high-level A-rank ninjutsu.
"But Kakashi, don't be too proud. I have been immersed in the water release for many years. Don't think that your copied ninjutsu can defeat me." Zabuza chuckled, and another attack appeared behind Kakashi.
"Teacher, this one is also a water clone," Naruto said.
"Not good." Kakashi suddenly slammed away the water in front of him and, at the same time, squatted down immediately, dodging it.
"Don't think that you can get me so easily." Kakashi dodged Zabuza's slash and parried it to the ground, but this attack was obviously very powerful.
With one hand on the hilt, he actually used it as a leverage point. With a spin, he sent Kakashi flying. Then, he pulled out his sword and quickly rushed toward Kakashi, who was about to fall into the river. He wanted to kill him before he landed.
However, a few nails were blocking his way, which made Zabuza annoyed. However, these nails made him realize that he wouldn't make it to cut Kakashi in time since he had already fallen on the water. But Zabuza still had other plans.
"This person's physical skills are so powerful." Sasuke thought.
"Kakashi-sensei was dragged into the water by him. Why do I feel that Sensei is inferior to Ryoha? Sure enough, my Ryoha is the most powerful."
After six years of getting along with each other, Sakura gradually changed her simple crush for Ryoha into real love.
"Why does the water feel so heavy? It seems to be very dense." Kakashi felt pressure from such a big rock even though he was only surrounded by water. It was very heavy.
"What an idiot. You fell into a trap. Water Release, Water Prison Jutsu." Zabuza used the Water Prison Jutsu to trap Kakashi.
"What a mistake. I initially just wanted to hide in the water." Kakashi said unhappily. However, he was not too worried. If the user of the Water Prison wanted to trap him, he would not be able to move. Otherwise, the Water Prison Jutsu would disappear. When Zabuza attacked him, he would use the Body Substitution Jutsu to escape.
"I will settle things with you later. I need to kill this old man first. If this old man dies, you will lose the reason to fight." Zabuza said proudly and immediately used the Water Clone Jutsu again.
"Hehehe, you think you are very proud just because you wear a head guard. Do you think you are a ninja? But the so-called ninja is someone who has experienced countless life-and-death situations. In other words, only those who can be famous in my victim list can be regarded as a real ninja."
"It seems that you smelly brats are not qualified to be called ninjas. However, you, Ryoha, are very powerful. Although you will die today, I will record your name in my list." Zabuza still did not know that his words had once again stabbed Sasuke's heart, who felt inferior and proud.
"Bang!"
Even though Zabuza's water clone only had 10 percent of his strength, it was enough to kill Tazuna through the Mist Concealment jutsu. When he passed by, he kicked Naruto away.
"You're really useless. You're simply too weak to withstand a single blow." Zabuza's water clone stepped on Naruto's forehead and said with disdain.
"You guys, hurry up and leave this place with Mr. Tazuna. If you stay here, you will definitely die." Kakashi shouted.
"We have no choice. Even if we escape, we will only be killed. This ninja who knows the Silent Killing Art can kill us even with his water clone. In order to survive, we can only save you." Sasuke made the right choice and immediately charged at Zabuza's clone. He did not believe that he could not even defeat a clone.
"Too naive." Zabuza quickly blocked Sasuke's kunai and then grabbed his's neck with one hand.
"Sasuke!," Naruto shouted. He thought of his weakness and incompetence. Thinking of his cowardice and incompetence, Ryoha's strength, and Sasuke's bravery, he stood up.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't be so pessimistic. Have you forgotten about me?" Ryoha's slightly teasing voice came from the side of Zabuza's real body.
"When?" Zabuza was surprised. This was because Ryoha's water clone had appeared in the river below him. His knife stabbed Zabuza's arm. Zabuza didn't want to suffer the same damage from the weapon, so he could only dodge.
"You actually learned my water clone jutsu? You don't have the Sharingan. How could you copy my ninjutsu?" Zabuza cursed in his heart. Initially, he had secretly planned something if this clever brat would come to stop him, but he did not expect that this brat could use his water clone jutsu.
Despite his other plan, he could only watch helplessly as Kakashi was rescued. At the same time, because he was distracted, the dense fog began to dissipate a bit. At least the vision became much clearer.
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you. Back then, when I was fighting Ryoha, there were many simple ninjutsus he could learn just by looking at them once."
Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. At the same time, he admired Ryoha's ability to learn. However, he did not know how Ryoha was so powerful. Although Ryoha had a fast learning and comprehension ability, how could he learn and use the enemy's jutsu instantly if he did not have the Sharingan?
"This little brat is troublesome. If I had known earlier, I would have gone all out to kill him." If he didn't kill Ryoha now, he would regret it. He had a hunch that if Ryoha continued to grow, he would very likely be killed by him. This brat's level of talent had already threatened him.
"Stinking brat, die for me!" Zabuza roared. Blue veins appeared on the muscles on his body. He clenched his sword tightly and suddenly flew towards Ryoha. It was clear that he planned to slash Ryoha. It was truly dangerous at such a close distance.
