"Sharingan?"
"It looks kind of cool!"
Seeing the red eyes with three tomoe, the readers couldn't help but feel curious.
Especially those who had read "Kara no Kyokai."
In "Kara no Kyokai," the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception possessed by Shiki Ryougi still left many people amazed. Especially the line, "Anything that lives, even if it's a god, I will kill for you!" made many readers fall in love with the stunning Shiki Ryougi.
Now there was another special eye, the Sharingan? What kind of ability did it have?
Faced with these eyes, not only were the readers curious, but even Naruto was intrigued. It wasn't until Sasuke explained the eye's abilities that everyone understood its magic.
The Sharingan allowed its user to see through all physical, ninjutsu, and genjutsu techniques in an instant, and also instantly learn the opponent's techniques!
In this world of ninjutsu, this ability was incredibly powerful!
But this also made people more curious.
If Kakashi, who had copied a thousand ninjutsu, still treated Zabuza as a formidable enemy, how strong was Zabuza?
Soon, the readers got their answer.
The once clear sky began to fill with thick fog, making it hard to see anything.
Zabuza's voice came from somewhere in the fog.
"Eight points!"
Zabuza said something that confused Naruto and the readers.
"Throat, spine, lungs, liver, carotid artery, subclavian artery, kidneys, heart. So, which vital point should I target?"
Only then did everyone understand what Zabuza meant.
But this also made Zabuza seem even more intimidating. Facing Kakashi, the Copy Ninja who had copied a thousand jutsus, he was still so arrogant.
Then, Zabuza and Kakashi engaged in a spectacular battle.
After some intense fighting, Kakashi used a copied water clone to deceive Zabuza, quickly moving behind him and pointing a kunai at Zabuza's throat, capturing him.
This combination of strategy and action captivated everyone.
Readers, along with Kakashi, thought this would end Zabuza's attack, but the next moment showed that Zabuza was one step ahead.
When Kakashi used the water clone to deceive Zabuza, he had already fallen into Zabuza's trap!
The Zabuza Kakashi captured was also a water clone!
Fooled by Zabuza, Kakashi couldn't escape Zabuza's attack and was trapped in a water prison.
This meant that the only one who could fight Zabuza, Kakashi, had lost his ability to fight, leaving only Naruto and his recently graduated teammates to face Zabuza. What could they do?
Seeing this, all the readers couldn't help but worry for Naruto and his friends.
However, they also felt some sympathy and fear for Zabuza.
They learned about the harsh graduation exams in the Village Hidden in the Mist.
Graduates had to fight each other to the death, and Zabuza had killed all his classmates in his graduation year!
This made people feel both sorry for and scared of Zabuza. Fear because he killed all his classmates, and sympathy because the Mist Village's harsh environment had shaped him into this.
Although they didn't know much about the Mist Village, any place with such a cruel graduation system must be even darker.
But soon, the readers were amazed by Naruto and Sasuke's plan.
Naruto transformed into a shuriken, which Sasuke threw, successfully tricking Zabuza and freeing Kakashi from the water prison, allowing Kakashi to fight Zabuza again.
Using the Sharingan, Kakashi copied Zabuza's Water Dragon Jutsu and counterattacked, predicting and mirroring Zabuza's every move.
Seeing the identical, almost synchronized hand signs, the readers were impressed by the Sharingan's power.
They eagerly anticipated more battles involving the Sharingan.
What they didn't know was that in future battles, such hand signs would become less common. Eventually, some powerful characters would perform jutsus with just a clap and a shout.
Just as Kakashi was about to deliver the final blow to Zabuza, a barrage of senbon needles suddenly pierced Zabuza's throat, killing him instantly. A mysterious figure, claiming to be a tracker ninja from the Mist Village, appeared and took Zabuza away.
Naruto and his team safely escorted Tazuna home, but Kakashi was temporarily incapacitated.
At this moment, Kakashi raised a question that shocked the readers: Zabuza wasn't dead!
Kakashi explained that tracker ninjas usually dispose of the body on the spot, but this one took Zabuza's entire body away.
After thinking it over, he concluded that the tracker ninja was actually an ally of Zabuza. To prepare for Zabuza's return, Kakashi devised a training plan to quickly increase Naruto and his team's strength.
"I have to say, even though it's a ninja story, the Porter's touch makes it enjoyable for someone like me from the Celestial Empire," Daniel said, letting out a deep breath as he saw the "To Be Continued" message.
The hand signs, various jutsus, and the Sharingan made Daniel think that this could easily be adapted into a cultivation story.
For instance, the Sharingan could be turned into some kind of special eye technique, and the hand signs could be part of ancient mystical training methods found in the Celestial Empire.
But that wasn't the main point. The main point was the volume and satisfaction!
According to industry insiders, the Porter created the ninja series in collaboration with a powerful manga company in Sakura Nation, releasing it in both places simultaneously, which allowed for five chapters a week.
This made readers very happy.
But even though "Naruto" was satisfying, Daniel was most excited about the Porter's other masterpiece—"Fullmetal Alchemist."
He wondered what the latest chapter would bring.
"Though, it's probably nearing its conclusion."
With that in mind, Daniel opened the manga.
