"Are you okay?"
Tazuna's daughter Tsunami looked at Kakashi lying on the bed and asked worriedly.
"I'm fine I guess. But I'll have to rest for three or four days." Kakashi said weakly.
"Is there such a big price for using Sharingan?" Sakura looked at Kakashi puzzled.
"Kakashi, that eye is not yours, right?"
Sasuke was sitting on the side, and when he heard Sakura's words, he interrupted suddenly.
"What? What do you mean it's not Kakashi-sensei? Sasuke, why do you say that?"
"Because if it was his own eyes, the chakra consumption would not be so much."
Sasuke said affirmatively.
"Ah, yes, this eye was a gift from my friend."
Kakashi touched his left eye and nodded slightly sadly.
"Friend? Then he..."
"Yes, he's dead."
"Since it was given to you by someone else, I can't say anything."
Sasuke turned his head away and continued to think.
"Oh, I can finally catch my breath! Fortunately, such a powerful ninja has been defeated."
Tazuna lay on the floor with a happy expression on his face.
"But, having said that, who is that masked ninja?"
Sakura stroked her chin and recalled the ninja who had suddenly appeared at the end and taken away the dead body.
"That mask ninja was a Mist Hunter Shinobi who is responsible for hunting down their traitors."
"They, known as the Corpse Disposal Team, will completely remove the ninja's corpse and erase any traces of their existence."
"More importantly, the corpse of a ninja can reveal a lot of secrets, so the best way to deal with a ninja who died outside is to deal with it on the spot."
Kakashi spoke weakly.
"So, the corpse will be dismembered if you don't kill it? It's really scary..."
Sakura hugged herself in fear.
"But... He was obviously dead when I checked, but why do I feel uneasy? What did I miss?"
Kakashi fell into a deep sleep of thought.
"I am going to train."
Sasuke got up and walked out.
Through today's events, he felt that he was actually very weak.
Especially when he was so frightened by the Killing intent that he could not move, he even thought of dying, forgetting his promise to kill that man.
Looking at Naruto again, he was as young as him, but he could deal with such a powerful Jōnin alone!
"Damn it, why am I so weak!!"
Sasuke slammed his fist hard on the tree, roaring unwillingly.
Naruto in the room couldn't help but sigh when he heard the voice.
Although Sasuke's talent was indeed outstanding among his peers, he happened to meet Naruto who kept growing quickly.
Even though his progress was fast, Sasuke was angry when the results were compared.
This was especially true when encountering Zabuza this time.
But there was no rush for this matter, it could only be done slowly.
...
In a dense forest.
"Fortunately, the mask was still usable, and I fooled Kakashi, otherwise it may not be so smooth...next is… "
While talking, Haku took off the mask from his face, revealing a very beautiful face.
"First cut the cloth on the mouth, let him spit out the blood, and then pull out the needle."
After a while of operation, Zabuza still did not regain consciousness.
"He hasn't woken up yet? Was that boy so strong?"
Haku, who was observing in the dark at the time, only saw Naruto's kick, but he didn't expect that this kick was so powerful, and Zabuza still hadn't woken up.
You must know that Zabuza was a Jōnin who was well-trained to handle hits.
In desperation, Haku had no choice but to continue to carry him on his back before leaving without taking the Kubikiribucho back and healing Zabuza's wounds after returning to their stronghold.
This recuperation would last for a week.
And it wasn't until the next day that Zabuza woke up.
When he woke up, he held his head and cursed Naruto in his heart.
"That nasty brat!"
"Zabuza-san, you are awake."
Haku walked in.
"What time is it?"
"You've been in a coma all day."
Speaking of this, Haku was also shocked. He suspected that with a little more strength, the blond-haired boy could probably have killed Zabuza directly.
"..."
It seemed that the next time they encountered that brat, they should be more careful.
His strength was not something that could be ignored, even Kakashi couldn't match it.
"The bridge builder is still alive, will the mission continue?"
Haku asked worriedly, he had already realized that Kakashi and his team were not easy to deal with.
"Of course!"
"I'm sure it will work next time, right?"
"Next time... I've seen through the Sharingan, it will not be a problem!"
Zabuza said with certainty.
"But before that, I have to get my sword back, that bastard, such an important sword was thrown away by that brat!"
When he remembered his sword, he got angry and hated Naruto even more.
He decided that the next time he met Naruto, he would teach him a good lesson and make him pay for it!
Then in the next few days, he searched the sea several times back and forth, but couldn't find his sword.
He suspected that he had been tricked again...
"Bastard! I will kill you!!"
