"Don't move."
Kakashi stood behind Zabuza, holding Kunai around Zabuza's neck.
Fortunately, Zabuza's attack on Naruto was a failure as Naruto had used the 'Fire Style Clone', so Kakashi had calmed down.
"Excellent! Kakashi sensei!"
Sakura shouted happily.
Sasuke lowered his head and said nothing.
"You're really smart, Kakashi!"
"But do you think that's enough to deal with me? You're so naive."
Zabuza didn't feel panicked at all, instead, he laughed sinisterly.
His words made Kakashi tense again.
"You copied my water body ninjutsu, and then deliberately distracted me, hid in the fog to observe my every move, and lured me in, but... I am not so easily defeated!"
Kakashi didn't bother to listen to the nonsense of Zabuza and pushed the kunai into his throat.
But this Zabuza too turned into water and dissipated.
"Was this also a water body?"
brush!
The attack came suddenly from behind, and Kakashi ducked low, dodging another Zabuza.
Boom!
After a struggle, Kakashi was kicked into the water.
"Why is the water here heavy!"
Kakashi, who was in the water, was surprised to find that the water seemed to be unable to move.
"You should be more careful Kakashi! Water Prison!"
The real body of Zabuza appeared again, and Kakashi was sealed in a water prison.
Kakashi was shocked.
"You won't be able to escape from here!"
"I can only finish my job if I stop you first. Then, Kakashi, I'll let you witness how I'll kill the kids first!"
"Water clone..."
"So you have to keep one of your hands in the water prison all the time..."
A voice sounded from behind Zabuza, interrupting his hand seal, his pupils dilated, and just when he was about to move, his right hand which was maintaining the Water Prison Technique was tightly grasped.
"Naruto!?"
Kakashi was pleasantly surprised, he didn't know where Naruto was after disappearing for so long, was he waiting for the real Zabuza to show up?
"Naruto!?"
The three people on the shore looked at Naruto behind Zabuza, happy and rejoicing, various emotions surfaced in their hearts.
"It's you again"
No longer taking the situation as fun, he looked indifferently at the kid who was holding his hand.
'Why is this brat so strong?!' Zabuza tried to break free several times but failed to withdraw his hand.
Since his sword was taken away, he had been at odds with this brat!
"You've been waiting for me to show up? Right?"
'I can sense everything and you think I will wait for you to appear? I just went to the Dark Space to store the sword.', thought Naruto.
"Where's my sword kid?!"
Looking carefully, he found that Naruto's hands were empty at this time, which made Zabuza agitated.
"You mean my sword?"
"..."
Zabuza choked, suppressed his anger, and asked again.
"Where's the sword?"
"I threw it away."
"You threw it away?!"
Hearing Naruto's answer, Zabuza roared angrily, "That's one of Kiri's seven legendary swords! And you just threw it away?! I worked so hard to get that sword, and you just threw it away?!"
"It was inconvenient to hold. Besides, I can throw away my sword if I want to, can't I?"
Naruto said indifferently.
"Where did you throw it?!"
"In the sea."
Naruto looked at the sea beneath his feet.
"..."
Speechless, Zabuza wanted to strangle Naruto to death!
"Hey, Naruto, stop talking, I'm still in the water."
Kakashi stared at Naruto and said helplessly.
"Ok."
Naruto let go of the hand that was holding onto Zabuza's hand.
Seeing the chance, Zabuza's eyes lit up, and his hands quickly formed seals.
"Iron Leg Shot!"
Boom!
Zabuza, who had just started forming hand seals, stopped when he heard the name of the move, and before he had time to react, he felt pain in the back of his head and passed out.
"You have to make so many seals even for one jutsu, How are you going to fight me?"
Naruto curled his lips in disdain.
Kakashi's mouth twitched at the sight of Zabuza being kicked to the shore. He was kicked by Naruto who possesses super strength, and the move he used seems to be an upgraded version of Leaf Hurricane.
"Kakashi-sensei, you couldn't even kill him? You have to put more effort into training."
Naruto shook his head.
"By the way, when did you learn water walking?"
Ignoring Naruto's joke, Kakashi looked suspiciously at him who was standing firmly on the water like him.
"Walking on water? Does it matter?"
After Naruto finished speaking, he left in a blink of an eye and returned to the shore.
"..."
Kakashi was speechless.
"Is it because of him learning chakra enhanced strength, so his control over Chakra is also higher?"
Kakashi thought about it.
"Kakashi-sensei, are you alright?"
"Naruto, you were amazing!"
Sakura stepped forward and said happily.
Sasuke remained silent as he still hadn't recovered from the blow of the killing intent.
Tazuna sat down on the ground, lamenting that he escaped from death again, this time the money he spent was worth it!
"Then, all that's left is to deal with him!"
Kakashi took out a Kunai and walked towards Zabuza on the ground.
Anyway, this guy is a ninja who detected his village, so if he killed him, he would get the bounty on his head.
brush!
But before he could act, there was a wind-rushing sound, and Kakashi stepped back quickly, turning his head to look at a masked Mist Shinobi ninja who had suddenly appeared on the tree.
"Can you leave him to me?"
"A Mist Shinobi's Hunter Ninja?"
Kakashi said warily.
"That's right, it's my mission to hunt down and kill him. Thank you very much for your help. I have been looking for an opportunity to kill Zabuza."
"Kill?"
Kakashi was startled, and when he looked at Zabuza again, he saw two thin needles sticking out of his neck.
He walked over slowly while being wary of this masked guy, he checked the pulse and didn't feel any.
"Judging from his voice and body shape, he should be a kid similar to Naruto, but...a hunter ninja at his age, he is not an ordinary kid."
Knowing how powerful this kind of Anbu ninja who was responsible for chasing and killing traitorous ninjas was, Kakashi did not fight this masked person.
"He's dead..."
"Then, please give me his body. His body contains too many secrets."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you."
Kakashi stepped back, allowing the Mist Shinobi to take away the corpse.
Naruto stood on the spot, looking at the disappearing figure of Haku, thinking about how to get his rare ice bloodline.
...
"It's finally resolved."
Kakashi pulled down the blindfold and blocked his left eye.
"Okay, it's time for us to go, and we have to take Tazuna-san home."
"Thank you everyone for protecting me. Let's go to my house and have a good rest!"
Tazuna stood up and laughed.
Kakashi, who had just walked a few steps, suddenly fell to the ground.
"Kakashi-sensei? What's wrong with you?"
"Are you hurt?"
"It's okay, I just used Sharingan too much, and my head is dizzy..."
This time Kakashi hadn't used the Water Style jutsu, so he didn't completely faint.
"Oh, you are a terrible teacher, you should learn more from your students."
Tazuna looked at Kakashi disdainfully, this Jōnin was really not good, was he really a Jōnin?
Kakashi:??? 'What nonsense are you talking about?'
...
