Chapter 235 Sasuke: Who are you? Are we that close?
Chapter 235 Sasuke: Who are you? Are we that close?
With a burst of fire, Sasuke's Fire Release instantly vaporized most of the ice spikes, while he simply ignored the ice spikes behind him.
He grabbed his knife and charged into the flames.
The raging flames between the white pillars engulfed his ninjutsu, and the flames continued to assault him.
However, before the flames reached him, a figure in white rushed out of the flames, the long sword in his hand appearing particularly dazzling in the firelight.
The gleaming longsword stabbed straight toward his throat.
Bai immediately grabbed the thousand books and raised his hand to block.
"Cough!"
Senbon parried the long sword, but the silver-white sword was deflected a few inches, avoiding his throat and piercing into Shiro's shoulder.
A burst of blood appeared, and the blue and white ice crystals behind Bai were stained with a blood-red hue.
Bai's eyes widened; for a moment just now, he had truly felt the breath of death.
Having narrowly escaped death, Bai became even more lucid.
He quickly retreated and pulled out the long sword that was stuck in his shoulder.
Blood gushed out, and Bai immediately used Ice Release to seal the wound and stop the bleeding.
"As expected of the Uchiha clan, their strength is far greater than I anticipated. However, I will not lose, and I have my reasons for not losing!"
Haku activated his ninjutsu again.
"Ice Shield Arcane Technique..."
"boring."
"Chidori Stream - Chidori Thunder Descent!"
Blue lightning shot from Sasuke's right hand and entered the ninja sword in his hand.
Sasuke swung his ninja sword and slashed upwards.
Lightning tore the earth apart, and bolts of thunder roared from the ground.
"What?!"
Haku never expected that Sasuke would be able to use ninjutsu of this level.
Blue and white lightning engulfed the white, and amidst the roar of thunder, the dome created by the ice crystals of the demon realm shattered.
Bai Yi was blasted away.
"Look! The ice cover has been broken!"
Sakura gasped in surprise when she saw the ice shield suddenly shatter.
Hinata immediately noticed Naruto, who was half-crouched on the ground, covered in bruises.
"Naruto-kun! Are you alright?!"
"Wait, Hinata!"
Sakura was startled to see Hinata rush out like that, but as a teammate, she followed.
Hinata helped Naruto up and asked him how he was doing.
"Naruto-kun, you're injured. Are you alright? I have some ointment I brought from home."
Naruto shook his head.
"I'm fine, just a minor injury. That bastard Sasuke is so strong!"
"Sasuke!"
Sakura looked at Sasuke with admiration, respect, and a sense of unfamiliarity in her eyes.
Back in the ninja academy, the person she admired most was Sasuke; she thought he was the most handsome one.
Many women in the class were in love with Sasuke, until the night of the massacre of his clan, when Sasuke vanished without a trace.
I never expected to see Sasuke again here. The Sasuke of today is more mature than the Sasuke of the past, and he has a colder aura about him. However, this coldness makes him even more charming.
At the same time, Sakura felt a great sense of alienation, or rather, a gap, in Sasuke.
"Who are you calling a jerk, the worst-performing kid?"
Sasuke sheathed his sword and turned to look at Naruto.
Whether it was because it was too cold here or for some other reason, Sasuke's face turned much paler, and his Sharingan closed, his blood-red pupils turning black again.
"I told you, I'm not a loser!"
Naruto was still arguing.
"I graduated smoothly and became a genin, and I even defeated Mizuki-sensei!"
"Shuimu? Heh, just a piece of trash."
"Haaah! You damned Sasuke, how dare you look down on me like that? I'll show you what I'm made of!"
As Naruto was about to stand up and challenge Sasuke, he suddenly slipped and fell face-first to the ground.
"Ha, you can't even stand up straight anymore, so stubborn. Let's go, this is boring."
Sasuke sneered and turned to leave.
"Sasuke-kun, wait a minute."
He had just turned around when a shout came from behind him.
Sasuke frowned and looked behind him.
Sakura mustered her courage and asked.
"Sasuke-kun, where have you been all these years? Everyone was so worried about you. Are you still leaving? Aren't you coming back to the village with us?"
Hearing Sakura's words, Sasuke raised an eyebrow, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Who are you?
"what?!"
In that instant, Sakura felt like the sky had fallen.
"Don't act like we're old friends, okay?"
"Hey! You jerk Sasuke, what kind of attitude is that? Sakura was just worried about you!"
"Hmph, you should worry about yourselves. I hope that when we meet again, you will be stronger, at least enough to pique my interest even a little bit."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke leaped off the bridge, disappearing into the thick fog as he stepped into the seawater.
Sasuke didn't mean to annoy them, after all, he really wasn't very familiar with them.
He had only been in the Ninja Academy for a little over a year when the massacre of his clan occurred, and then he was taken away by Izuna and Shisui.
After living in the Land of Grass for a while, the Chiba Daimyo introduced him to Orochimaru as his mentor, and he has been with Orochimaru for many years.
Of these people, he only vaguely remembered Naruto, the loser; he wasn't really familiar with the others.
Even the weaklings in the Sound Village are more familiar with this pink-haired guy than he is.
Seeing Sasuke leave like that, Sakura felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
She had been thinking about Sasuke for so long, but then Sasuke said he didn't recognize her. The sky had fallen.
Just then, Haku, who had been knocked to the ground by Sasuke, struggled to get up.
He looked up in the direction where Zabuza was.
At this moment, Zabuza was completely at a disadvantage.
Kakashi summoned his ninja dog squad, whose ninja dogs bit Zabuza tightly and held him in place.
"With Zabuza's death over, your ambitions have come to an end!"
"My ambition? I just want to change that village trapped by a corrupt system."
But clearly I have failed. Come, Kakashi, end me! End my ambition and my life together!
"Alright, then I'll end you with the ninjutsu I created myself."
"Rachel!"
Kakashi unleashed the Lightning Blade, aiming straight for Zabuza. This attack would allow Zabuza to end his life quickly and painlessly.
But just as Kakashi's Lightning Blade was about to hit, an ice mirror appeared in front of Zabuza, and Haku rushed out of the ice mirror.
He used his own body to shield Zabuza.
Kakashi watched as his right hand pierced through Haku's chest, just like when his right hand had pierced through Rin's chest.
In that instant, the two figures seemed to overlap.
