Chapter 9 - Fake Demon

「sensei! Behind you! 」 naruto shouted

「Die!」

Kakashi was sliced into two, but then he dissolves into the water just like Zabuza.

「Don't move, this is the end」

Kakashi said while pointing kunai at Zabuza's throat behind him.

I was nowhere to be found.

Where am I, you ask? I'm sitting on a tree, watching the show with popcorn and 3D glasses.

Now then, let's continue the show, shall we?

.

.

.

After some more conversations I listened, while eating my popcorn, Zabuza appeared behind Kakashi while the one in front of him dissolve in water.

「That's a fake too!?」 Naruto shouted.

Welp, that's my cue to act.

I throw a water spear aiming to separate them.

Kakashi and Zabuza moved their distance after they saw the spear.

And finally, I jumped and landed beside the spear.

「Will you look at that. Another self-proclaimed demon appeared in front of me, he also uses water too! I wonder how we will match up! 」

I let out my Haki.

「This amount of killing intent... You're not a usual genin, aren't you... who are you!?」

Zabuza asked.

Grabbing the spear, I pulled it and spin it on both my hands, and split them into two, morphing them into the shape of twin swords.

「 Me? I'm just a passing through demon lord, remember that well. 」

I pointed one of the swords to Zabuza and the fight continues.

.

.

.

We traded some blows and dodges.

He kept making water clones while I sliced them through and through.

Kakashi also beat them up with his kunai.

But, slowly

we were pushed back as the water clones pushed us together, Kakashi and I are now standing on the water looking at each other's back.

He's a bad matchup for us right now...

This is bad, I don't know what he'll do next since I interrupt his attempts on traping Kakashi in the water bubble thingy.

「Eh?!」

「Karma!」

I was deep in thought when I let a Zabuza kick me in the stomach.

There was no pain. But,

'Magic perception got turned off??!' I cursed inwardly.

A Zabuza clone kicked me as I flew to Kakashi who was trying to stop my falling.

But instead, Kakashi was thrown back from my impact.

We both fall into the lake and we struggle to get out of the water surface.

'w-what's with this water, it's awfully heavy'

This was Kakashi's thoughts.

「Shit! This pattern..!」

I blurted out after we get our heads out of the water surface.

Zabuza's moved behind us while doing hand signs.

『『Water prison Jutsu!』』

Zabuza exclaimed.

The real Zabuza is on Kakashi, I got the water clone.

I gritted my teeth as we're now trapped inside the prison.

「Damn it! DAMN IT!」

Exclaiming that, I punch the bubble thing rapidly.

Kakashi just stared at me bewildered by my killing intent.

DING*

≪Skill, 『Haki』 has leveled up≫

Zabuza created more clones to finish off my teammates.

「You're acting big, wearing a headband like a ninja.

But... a real ninja hovered between life and death numerous times.

In other words, only those who are worth being listed in my bingo book, deserve to be called ninja.

Guys like you can't be called real ninjas!」

He then disappeared into the mist.

Zabuza kicked naruto down, as naruto's hitai-ate fell.

He stepped on his hitai-ate too.

This brings my blood to boil hotter.

DING*

≪Skill, 『Haki』 has leveled up≫

≪Skill, 『Haki』 has leveled up≫

≪Skill, 『Haki』 has leveled up≫

I wanted to interfere, I really wanted to but...

「You three take tazuna and run! You have no chance against this guy!」 (Kakashi)

「as long as he had us inside the water prison, he won't be able to move. He shouldn't be able to use a water clone if he is far away behind his real body!」

「In any case, just run for now!」

Ignoring his commands, Sasuke charge at Zabuza after throwing some shurikens only to get caught and thrown back.

Naruto's trembling stopped when he saw his bandaged hands, he stands up and charge forward.

.

.

.

「Hey you with no brows...record this in your bingo book, about the man who will someday become the leaf village's Hokage...

leaf style ninja, Uzumaki Naruto-tte na!」

Naruto exclaimed.

Sigh* it's finally your screen time now huh.

.

.

.

Kakashi Hatake's POV

「What are you doing!? Your mission is to protect Tazuna-san! Did you forget about that?!」

I shouted.

At this, Naruto looks at tazuna.

「Well, this is the seed that I have planted. I can't say I want my life to be spared. Sorry, you guys. Fight as much as you want!」

Tazuna said.

「You hear that?」 Sasuke said while smirking.

「Are you ready?!」 naruto shouted.

Zabuza laughed maniacally.

「uwaah... he did the three-stage laugh」

This is Karma's mumbling...He's way too calm.

「Now's my chance」 (Karma)

Chance?

Zabuza's mist became thicker, it's thick enough that we don't see the Zabuza who is holding this water prison.

I paused a little confused at his remarks, he whisper yells 『 bunshin no majutsu』 as a clone appeared. Majutsu?? Was that magic? He can use it under this prison? He then whispered again 『create ID』

He disappeared?!

.

.

.

Sasuke Uchiha's POV

The dobe will finally use teamwork.

This was huge progress.

Currently, we are listening to Zabuza's story.

When Kakashi finished his lines, there's a nostalgic look from the rogue-nin's face,

「That was fun...」

before staring at us.

Naruto and I were shocked by that.

Before we knew it Zabuza dashed to me, he send me flying with his elbow.

After I landed on the ground he elbowed me again as I vomited blood.

I was dying on the ground as Zabuza stepped on me.

「Damn it! 『Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!!』

The dobe exclaimed.

「Hooh, shadow replication jutsu, you made quite a few.」

Zabuza said while still having his foot on my stomach.

Removing his foot from me, I forced myself to get up.

I look at the narutos' charging on Zabuza with a kunai.

But then Zabuza scatters them again.

The dobe's clones disappeared into smokes, one of them was sticking his nose into his bag.

「Sasuke!!」

He shouted as he throw something at me.

When I caught it, I realized what's that thing is.

'I see, I see what you want to do, naruto. It's pretty good considering It came from you!' I thought.

「Fuma shuriken, the shadow windmill」

With that, I threw the shuriken to the real Zabuza.

「I see, you're aiming for the real one this time. But... too easy!」

He said as he caught the shuriken, but then another shuriken approached.

He jumped again, and dodge it.

But this time, the shuriken disperse in smokes revealing naruto.

The dobe throws a kunai at the original Zabuza, he dodged it pulling his hands on the water prison.

「You brat!!」

Zabuza shouted while spinning the Fuma shuriken he caught earlier.

But before he could land a hit on naruto...

Clang! *

Kakashi appeared blocking the Fuma shuriken in Zabuza's hands with his hands.

「Naruto, your strategy was outstanding... you've grown up... both of you.」

...

Karma Uzumaki's POV

I managed to use create ID and escape, right now I am watching the show from a tree.

I take a look at my status and scroll on an item market for a bit.

Well, let's see some scrolls now, shall we? I never did find the "naruto verse" 's items to buy... oh?

<Suiton: Giant Vortex jutsu scroll>

Eh? Isn't this Zabuza's move??

...

Kakashi and Zabuza gained distance, as Zabuza create hand signs.

Kakashi copied it.

I watched as two water dragons clashed.

Zabuza and Kakashi are in the middle of the dragon as Zabuza clashed with Kakashi.

Kakashi copied every move movement of Zabuza while they are evenly matched.

Welp, that's my cue to interfere.

「Hah you're just copying. .. You're a pale imitation! 」

「Kufufu...kufufufufu... KUHAHAHAHAHA」

My bunshin suddenly laughed deviously as everyone turned their heads on him.

He's still trapped on one of Zabuza's water bunshin.

Yet, he made such a face.

He lifted his head like a maniac grin showing on his face and...

POOF.

He disappeared.

「Not so silent killing now eh... self-proclaimed demons?」

I said jumping from the tree next to Kakashi.

「W-when did you!」

Zabuza stutter looking at me.

「It's a very simple jutsu called the 『Escape no jutsu』」

I deadpanned, I can see Sasuke sweatdropped at this.

「Well, I was going to interfere but then naruto create bunshins, I thought it was interesting and guess it would be alright if I don't interfere, but now...」

I paused as I stepped forwards.

「You pissed me off, you self proclaimed demon」

I said as I unconsciously activated 『Haki』 to its full potential.

Notifs of it leveling up appeared once again.

「Oh and by the way... we don't only have one doujutsu wielder dattebane?」

I suddenly said again.

I activated 『seishingan』, and I copied Zabuza's pose.

「Hmph! As I said, you are just mere monkeys copying a human. 」

At this point, Zabuza dispelled his water clone and prison.

「You won't be able to beat me! 」

「You won't be able to beat me! 」

「You won't be able to beat me! 」

Zabuza, Kakashi, and I shouted in sync.

The three of us made hand signs.

『Suiton: Giant Vortex jutsu!!!』

『Suiton: Giant Vortex jutsu!!!』

Kakashi and I shouted in sync Before Zabuza could.

Kakashi's Sharingan is spinning wildly, while my seishingan glowed brighter.

「W-what!? 」 Zabuza gasped.

2 giant vortex Jutsu emerged below us and expanded, raging in Zabuza's direction.

Zabuza took the blow.

When Zabuza knocked on the tree as the whole area has now flooded with water.

Kakashi and I landed on the branches above him as Kakashi throw kunais to Zabuza's limbs.

「Why... Are you able to see the future? 」

Zabuza asked.

「「Yeah, you're going to die」」

Kakashi and I said in sync.

Haku appeared and threw senbons at Zabuza, knocking Zabuza down and bringing him home.

Why am I talking like you skipped an episode??? Well, you see...

_IT IS THE POWER OF TIME SKIP_

.

.

.

「Hey, why don't you help if you had escaped-ttebayo?」

Naruto asked who is carrying unconscious Kakashi into the house.

「T-that's right if it's you. You may be able to take him down. 」 Sakura stated.

「If I did then I can't watch your brilliant strategy now can't I?

Not to mention, aren't you guys starting to act like a team now? I was going to interfere if things goes ugly.」

「But still-!」

「I need to talk to you. 」 He said.

Naruto's complaints were interrupted by Sasuke.

「Sure, let's wait tomorrow, I'm beat」 I lied.

Demon body can't get tired, I would if I used so much magic, but right now?

I want FOOD. I don't need it but a bowl of ramen would be nice right now.

「If you guys need me I'll be outside catching some air.」

Thus, I announced that to everyone's inside tazuna's house and let Kakashi rest.

.

.

.

In reality, I get into the new ID I received a while ago.

I left a bunshin just in case they tried to find me outside.

Then I use 『create ID』

.

.

.

「Sharingan is amazing and all, but it put a lot of strain on the body, I'm not sure if it's good or bad.」

「But you defeated such a strong ninja. We should be okay for a while.」

Tazuna said.

「By the way, who was that boy with the mask?」 sakura asked.

「He had the mask of a pursuing ninja from a special squad from the Hidden Village of Mist's ANBU...」

Kakashi replied.

「They are also known as the fire extinguishing unit, and their job is to erase any evidence that a ninja was alive. A ninja's body will give away the secrets of ninja techniques and Chakra of the village it was in, any specific medicine that was used on a body, along with various other things.」

「For example, if I die, the secret to the Sharingan will be examined... And in the worst cases scenario, there's a possibility that my techniques including the Sharingan, will be stolen.」

「In other words, pursuing ninja will kill exiled ninja who has abandoned the village, dispose of the ninja's body And stop any secrets of the village from being revealed. They are specialists in the field.」

Kakashi finished.

...Kakashi ponders a bit.

「What's wrong sensei?」

Naruto asked.

.

.

.

I entered the 『spirit beast ID』 but this is weird.

When I entered, a screen appeared in front of me.

DING*

≪Only one <Spirit beast> can be killed and absorb at a time, please select a beast to slay: ≫

Abomination

Anaconda

Angel of Hope

Ant Emperor

Armored Dragon

Abyss Demon Dragon Shark

Abyss Ice Demon Dragon

Bear

Berserk Lightning Panther

Black Goblin

Black Leopard

Black Lined Ghost Panther

Black Tortoise

Blaze Tiger

... .. ...

... .. ...

... .. ...

There are so many... but I need to get huo yuhao's first spirit skill, It's basically sharingan and byakugan mixed together, but no seeing people's tenketsus.

If I'm not wrong, the spirit beasts' name is worm... sky dream ice worm, that's right!! Here it is!

I tapped on skydrean ice worm on the screen after scrolling so much.

≪Please set the spirit beast's age range≫

Welp, let's do a one million.

.

.

.

I managed to get it, the worm only has mental attribute attacks just like the manhua, since I have 『gamer's mind』 I'm immune to that.

It doesn't seem like it has intelligence at all. Was this spirit beast generated from the system and not from the duoluo dalu itself? Looks like so...

DING*

≪Would you like to absorb <1.000.000 years old sky dream ice worm spirit ring>≫

Yes

DING*

≪Skill 『Seishingan』 has evolved≫

The system notified.

1st Soul Ring absorbed

Name: Spiritual Detection

Effects:

Enhanced Vision:

-Slows the perception of time.

-Perceives every detail in the environment include muscle movements, motion vectors, spirit power, and distance to objects.

-Creates the feeling that there's a secondary brain helping one process all the information.

360-degree Stereoscopic Vision:

-Initially is within a range of 30 meters in diameter, however, the maximum distance increases with Spirit Power Level and training.

-Can see everything within the range, from any angle desired, even if one's eyes are closed.

Improved Telescopic Vision:

-Same effects as Stereoscopic Vision, but in a straight line ahead of the user rather than 360 degrees.

-The range is greatly increased over the 360-degree version due to focusing on the ability.

Spiritual Sharing:

-Share thoughts with others.

Spiritual Shock

-It is a mental attack that briefly stuns an opponent and interrupts their soul skills. However, it is a double-edged sword, it could backlash at the user if his opponent's soul is stronger than his own.

Spiritual Interference:

-Temporarily disrupts the mental state and senses of the opponent. Although it isn't especially effective, the slight dizziness caused by it could often change the situation of a battle. Furthermore, the greatest advantage of this skill lay in the fact that the user wouldn't suffer any backlash no matter what.
