Chereads / I, Naruto, Will Never Be A Virgin / Chapter 25 - 24 Zabuza

Chapter 25 - 24 Zabuza

You're absolutely right! In the Naruto universe, it's the "Land of Waves," not Poland. My apologies for the mix-up. Here's the corrected translation:

---

After another two hours, passing through the sea and the bridge shrouded in dense fog, Naruto and his team formally entered the territory of the Land of Waves.

The Land of Waves, a small island nation, was on high alert, and as soon as they set foot on its shores, they were quickly detected.

Two adversaries awaited them, one a Jōnin and the other a Chūnin, which Naruto's enhanced perception identified immediately.

It was likely none other than Zabuza and Haku.

As they ventured into a small forest, a massive sword was suddenly hurled at them from not too far away.

"Watch out, get down!" Kakashi shouted, and everyone instantly dropped to the ground, watching the gigantic blade whirl past their heads, burying itself in a tree trunk across from them.

Then, a muscular ninja, his face partially hidden by white bandages, stood on the massive sword.

He turned his back toward them, glancing over his shoulder at Naruto and the others with a cold stare.

"Oh, isn't this the infamous rogue from the Mist, Zabuza Momochi?" Kakashi remarked coolly, preparing to lift his headband and unleash the power of his Sharingan.

"Oh? The Sharingan Ninja, Kakashi… why don't you leave that old man to me?" Zabuza said coldly, locking eyes with Kakashi.

Naturally, Kakashi wasn't going to agree, and the tension in the air immediately grew.

"Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto — form up and protect Mr. Tazuna. Leave this guy to me!" Kakashi commanded without looking back.

The three quickly positioned themselves around the old bridge builder to guard him.

"Ninjutsu: Hidden Mist Technique!"

Zabuza leaped onto the water's surface, channeling his chakra, and within moments, a thick, white mist cloaked the entire area.

The battle was about to begin.

"Eight vital points: larynx, spine, lungs, liver, carotid artery, subclavian artery, kidneys, heart. So, which one should I aim for first?"

Zabuza's menacing voice echoed from within the dense fog, each word chilling with lethal intent.

His voice, combined with his killing aura, filled the air with a terrifying pressure meant to throw them off balance.

Hum!

From nearby, Kakashi unleashed a killing intent of his own, his presence clashing with Zabuza's, creating a chilling, paralyzing atmosphere. Both Naruto and Sasuke felt themselves shivering under the pressure.

"Looks like I still have a long way to go to reach true strength," Naruto thought, teeth gritted as he tried to resist the overwhelming aura radiating from both Kakashi and Zabuza.

He realized he'd likely need to face life-and-death struggles of his own to attain such power.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared behind Naruto, exuding an ominous energy.

Kakashi reacted instantly, darting toward the figure and thrusting his kunai into its abdomen. Naruto and the others took advantage of the diversion to move aside, but Kakashi's kunai only pierced a water clone of Zabuza.

In the next instant, the real Zabuza appeared behind Kakashi, swinging his massive cleaver with deadly precision toward Kakashi's waist.

"Kakashi-sensei, behind you!" Sakura shouted.

The blade slashed through Kakashi's body, splitting him in two — yet there was no blood. The Kakashi before them was merely a water clone.

Simultaneously, the real Kakashi appeared behind Zabuza, kunai held to his throat.

"It's over," Kakashi said with quiet confidence.

"Amazing!"

The team looked on in awe, admiring Kakashi's skill in silence.

But Kakashi had been a bit too confident, and the battle shifted again as Zabuza revealed his skill in deception.

The Zabuza under Kakashi's control was another water clone, and the real Zabuza emerged behind Kakashi. After a rapid exchange of strikes, Zabuza kicked Kakashi, sending him flying across the lake.

The battle happened so fast that Naruto barely had time to react before Kakashi was hurled into the water.

Seeing this, Naruto quickly unleashed a jutsu he'd prepared in advance.

"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"

A powerful gust surged toward Zabuza, but Zabuza dodged it, focusing instead on the downed Kakashi, sensing he was the greater threat.

At the lake, Kakashi had just emerged from the water, but Zabuza ensnared him in his Water Prison Technique, binding him with a sphere of water as Zabuza's real body stood guard.

From Naruto's point of view, it looked as though Kakashi had been captured too easily. He suspected Kakashi might be testing them, wanting to see how the three Genin would handle the situation.

With one hand maintaining the Water Prison, Zabuza formed a one-handed seal, summoning a water clone that now stood before Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura with a menacing gaze.

"Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto — take Mr. Tazuna and get out of here!" Kakashi shouted from within the prison, signaling them with his eyes.

"You're no match for Zabuza. He has to stay here to keep control over me. If you get far enough, his jutsu will break, and you'll be safe. Use this chance to run!"

"Tch!" Naruto scoffed. "If we leave you, we'll be sliced to bits by Zabuza in no time."

He was speaking the truth, sensing that Kakashi might be testing them once again.

"Hah! Do you really think you're ninja just because you wear a forehead protector?" Zabuza sneered, his voice dripping with contempt.

It was almost as though he were trying to teach them a brutal lesson.

"Real ninja live every moment on the edge of life and death! True ninja have their names feared and respected throughout nations!" Zabuza's words were filled with a twisted sense of pride, his gaze unwavering.

"Brats like you aren't worthy of my blade!"

As Zabuza finished speaking, he disappeared from sight, reappearing right at Naruto's previous location. But Naruto had anticipated this and used the Body Replacement Technique just in time, reappearing nearby as he quickly wove hand signs.

Boom!

Zabuza's water clone struck Naruto's double, shattering it into splinters, with a flash of surprise in Zabuza's eyes.

"Earth Style: Head-Hunter Jutsu!"

At that moment, Naruto's hands burst up from beneath the ground, grabbing Zabuza's water clone and pulling it down forcefully into the soil.

"What?" Zabuza's clone exclaimed in surprise. He hadn't expected the young Genin to outmaneuver him.

Naruto jumped out of hiding, raising his right foot, and stomped down onto the clone's head, which dissolved back into water.

The team was stunned. Though it was only a clone, Zabuza's water clones retained a portion of his Jōnin-level strength, yet Naruto had managed to counter two of its moves!

It seemed Zabuza had underestimated Naruto, and it had cost him.

"Brat! You've really angered me!"

The real Zabuza, still by the water prison, let out a cold snort. After an emotionless glance, he formed another one-handed seal, creating yet another water clone that charged toward Naruto, blade drawn and ready for battle.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Naruto called out, and dozens of his Shadow Clones immediately appeared around him, arranging themselves in rows before quickly performing hand signs:

"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"

"Water Style: Water Colliding Wave!"

A fierce combination of wind and water attacks blasted toward Zabuza's clone, catching it off guard and sending it crashing back. As Zabuza's clone dissolved, he scowled, realizing he could no longer ignore the growing potential of this young ninja.
