Chapter 11: Instant Kill, Low Profile

---

"Kakashi-sensei, the mist is so heavy! Do you want to take a rest before leaving?" Naruto walked forward without seeing anything clearly, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Kakashi didn't waste words and said, "Sasuke, you three protect Mr. Tazuna."

He moved to the forefront.

The demon brothers were hidden before, and maybe there were other enemies hiding in the fog with them.

Thinking of this, Kakashi cheered up and put his beloved book, "Make-Out Paradise," in his pocket.

Sasuke knew who the enemy hidden in this fog was: Kirigakure's Demon, Zabuza, a proper Jonin.

But his attention should be entirely focused on Kakashi. After all, Kakashi had a good reputation as the Copy Ninja.

In a fight, first, he'll place his dog Pakkun on the wall, and after two moves, he'll run out of chakra, which is a typical bluff.

If he doesn't solve the problem of chakra or the Sharingan, Kakashi will easily fall short of the Kage level.

Sasuke's position was very clever, protecting Tazuna while being able to quickly assist.

Phew~

There was a sound of heavy objects flying, and a black shadow flew towards Kakashi. The experienced ninja instantly blocked it with a kunai but was still pushed back.

Zabuza, with his whole body wrapped in bandages, appeared on a tree trunk a few meters away, his voice hoarse, "It turns out to be the famous Copy Ninja. No wonder you can catch my Decapitating Carving Knife."

"How about it? Mr. Kakashi, I don't want to fight with you. As long as you hand over the old man behind you, I will leave immediately."

"I'm sorry, this is our mission client. Please retreat!" Kakashi said slowly. Although he didn't look down on Zabuza, he didn't underestimate him either.

He was just a Jonin, but Kakashi didn't take him lightly. "Oh, it seems that bloodshed is inevitable."

Seeing that they couldn't reach an agreement, Zabuza's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He knew Kakashi's reputation but couldn't retreat without a fight, especially with a backup plan.

"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu."

A water dragon formed quickly and attacked Kakashi, but Zabuza's target was not him. The Decapitating Carving Knife in his hand was thrown towards Naruto and the others.

If he was right, these brats were not even at the level of genin. One sword was enough. As long as he killed them, it would be easy for him to escape.

Sasuke frowned when he saw the Decapitating Carving Knife flying towards him. Is this guy so confident? That's all. He needs to stretch his muscles today.

Sasuke caught the sword with one hand, and his arm sank slightly. It was indeed one of the "Seven Ninja Swords," and this weight was not something that ordinary people could handle.

He took it back and threw it back. Without the Decapitating Carving Knife, Zabuza was not worth his effort.

Lying down!

Zabuza was struggling with Kakashi. His original plan was to kill a few people with his Decapitating Carving Knife, then have it fly back based on the spinning trajectory, catch it with a domineering backflip, and start a fierce fight with Kakashi. Finally, he planned to escape.

Noticing Sasuke's half-smiling expression, Zabuza gritted his teeth, his anger suddenly rising. He forced Kakashi back and charged towards Sasuke.

Zabuza arrived in an instant with the sword in his hand, looking like he wanted to decapitate Sasuke with one strike.

Sasuke had long been half-hunched over, with his head lowered, and his breathing was extremely heavy. In fact, it was as if there was lightning in his mouth, and the surrounding lightning shot out, turning into an afterimage.

The attack method of Breath of Thunder was improved by Sasuke, focusing on explosive power.

The tachi wrapped in thunder deftly bypassed Zabuza's sword and went straight to his waist.

The reason it went so smoothly was not only because of Sasuke's superb swordsmanship but also because Zabuza did not regard Sasuke as an opponent of the same level. He felt it was just a matter of luck and only had eyes for Kakashi.

The moment the two came into contact, they immediately separated. Sasuke slowly put his tachi back into the sheath, his voice cold, as the electric current still remained.

"Breath of Thunder: First Form, Thunderclap and Flash."

Zabuza fell to the ground with a sound, and blood spurted out. Sasuke's heart was calm, as if defeating Zabuza was a matter of course.

Naruto, who was watching the battle, was almost numb with shock and his face was full of dismay. He had just listened to the conversation between Kakashi-sensei and the enemy and knew that the weird guy with the bandage on the other side was probably a Jonin.

As a result, the bandage monster was killed instantly by Sasuke. Brother, what are you going to do?

At the same age, I was scared when I saw some blood, but his partner Sasuke had already started killing Jonin.

The huge gap made Naruto feel complicated, but he was not the only one who felt uncomfortable.

Sakura beside him also felt a sense of crisis and quite stressed.

Kakashi stretched his neck and his eyes almost popped out of his head. He had been beating Zabuza back and forth just now, but when he turned around, he saw Sasuke defeating Zabuza.

He knew a little about Sasuke's strength, and he was definitely not weaker than Zabuza, but an instant kill was too much. How about giving up the position of guiding Jonin to you?

I don't blame Kakashi for thinking too much; the visual impact was so shocking.

Sasuke was actually a little surprised when he defeated Zabuza with lightning speed, but his good temperament did not allow him to show a surprised expression.

Although he was no longer the Sasuke from the original work, his habit of showing off was deeply rooted in his bones.

Sasuke didn't move; he was still waiting and leaned forward again, but this time he didn't draw his sword, but used Chidori.

The thunderous sound of the technique gushed out, and Sasuke's three-tomoe Sharingan eyes opened, like the eyes of a devil.

His powerful insight allowed him to catch traces that no one else had noticed, and his eyes gradually shifted to the tree crown more than ten meters ahead.

It was well hidden, but it was still close to being exposed. If Sasuke wanted to strike first, it would most likely be the boy named Haku.

Sasuke let out a low roar, and at extremely fast speeds, the Chidori with splashes of lightning flew past the obstacles in the trees.

The lightning-like movement speed hit Haku's waist in the canopy of the tree in an instant. His eyes were penetrated by it and he was confused. He didn't understand how this guy found him.

Moreover, his attacks were very decisive, and his shots were extremely high-level Lightning Style ninjutsu.

There was pain in his lower body, and Haku's consciousness began to blur.

Sasuke grabbed his hair, threw him to Zabuza's side, and said to Naruto, "Tie them both up and take them away together."

"Ah! I-"

Naruto shouted in surprise.

"Nonsense, it's not you, it's me, or Kakashi-sensei, or do you want Sakura to do it?" Sasuke said angrily.

Naruto tied up the two of them obediently. He had seen Zabuza's ferocious power, so for the sake of safety, he even placed several explosive tags on him.

"Hey, it's stable now."
