Chapter 104 Naruto: This is the power I want! Naruto's Night Operation, Gato's Terror

"Whoosh!"

Kakashi reacted extremely quickly, leaning back swiftly to narrowly dodge the sweeping attack.

At the same time, he thrust his kunai backhand, aiming straight for Zabuza's chest.

Zabuza immediately sheathed his sword and returned to defense, his Executioner's Blade drawing an arc in the air and accurately blocking Kakashi's attack.

"Clang! Clang!"

The two figures clashed repeatedly in the mist, their swords flashing and their shadows gleaming with cold light.

Zabuza's attacks are fierce and swift, his swordsmanship is full of killing intent, and each strike carries unstoppable power.

Kakashi, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, using the insight of his Sharingan and his rich experience to deal with Zabuza, accurately neutralizing his attacks in every exchange.

The surrounding white mist surged continuously during the fierce battle between the two, sometimes dispersed by Zabuza's sword wind, and sometimes stirred up by Kakashi's chakra.

Despite the thick fog, it seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force and constantly changed shape during the intense collision between the two.

"Kakashi-sensei, watch out for his Water Prison Technique!"

Seeing this, Naruto Uzumaki hurriedly said, "As a Jonin of Kirigakure, he must have mastered many more Water Release ninjutsu. If he manages to trap you, you'll be in big trouble."

"Water prison magic?!"

Upon hearing Naruto's words, Kakashi's eyelids twitched, and he instantly thought of this ninjutsu.

It uses water flow to form a spherical cage to trap the enemy. The caster can trap the enemy simply by placing one hand in the water prison.

In an instant, Kakashi saw the river in front of him, and his expression changed.

If Naruto hadn't reminded him, he really wouldn't have guessed that the other party knew a ninjutsu like the Water Prison Technique.

Zabuza Momochi, a rogue ninja from Kirigakure, was also a Jonin.

His target is Dazner.

If he manages to trap himself and uses a clone technique to kill Tazuna, then his mission will have failed.

"I understand, Naruto."

Kakashi's Sharingan began to rotate, and he became even more aware of this, no longer intending to move towards the other side of the river.

For ninjas skilled in water-style techniques, rivers are an invaluable asset.

At this moment, Kakashi didn't even think about why Naruto would know about a ninjutsu as advanced as the Water Prison Technique.

"This is truly astonishing, kid, that you could actually predict my movements."

Meanwhile, Zabuza Momochi stared grimly at Naruto Uzumaki in the distance: "I can still guess based on my memory. It seems that killing you is much more valuable than killing Tazuna."

He predicted the ninjutsu he knew just by exchanging a few blows with Kakashi and reminded Kakashi of it.

That kind of keen insight is truly incredible.

He originally planned to gradually force Kakashi back to the river surface and use his water clone technique to trap Kakashi with a water prison.

As a result, Naruto Uzumaki said it so directly.

Are all the kids in Konoha this perceptive?

In an instant, Zabuza Momochi unleashed a powerful killing intent at Naruto Uzumaki without any attempt to conceal it.

Zabuza Momochi's gaze was like a sharp blade, piercing straight towards Naruto Uzumaki.

A thick killing intent permeated the air, like invisible ropes tightly binding everyone's hearts.

Zabuza's killing intent was almost tangible, carrying an intense sense of oppression that made the surrounding temperature seem to drop several degrees.

As Zabuza unleashed his killing intent, the atmosphere became even more tense, and Sasuke and Sakura were both struggling to breathe under the weight of this killing intent.

Sasuke gritted his teeth, gripped his weapon tightly, and a hint of anger and resentment flashed in his eyes.

Sakura instinctively took a half-step back, her heart filled with fear.

However, Naruto Uzumaki remained unmoved.

He stood there, his gaze fixed firmly on Zabuza, a smug smile on his face.

Zabuza's killing intent was powerful, but it did not pose a real threat to him.

"Hmph, I'm not afraid of you, Zabuza."

Naruto sneered, a sly glint in his eyes.

He knew perfectly well that although Zabuza was powerful, he had Kakashi-sensei protecting him and would not be in any danger.

Moreover, he had already obtained a detailed comic about this mission through Lin Mo's jar shop, read it countless times, and knew all of Zabuza's plans and tactics clearly.

Naruto was filled with confidence, even a little smug.

He knew he had an absolute advantage here and didn't need to worry about Zabuza's threat at all.

Zabuza's killing intent and threats were nothing but bluff in his eyes.

"Haha, Zabuza, your tricks are useless against me," Naruto said casually, his face still bearing that carefree smile.

He completely disregarded Zabuza's killing intent, because he knew it was all a bluff.

When Zabuza saw Naruto's fearless demeanor, a flash of anger crossed his eyes.

He couldn't understand what gave this kid such confidence, daring to be so arrogant in front of him.

Zabuza gritted his teeth, secretly determined to make this brat pay the price.

However, Kakashi beside him kept him completely occupied.

"This feeling."

At this moment, Naruto Uzumaki watched this scene, and a special feeling rose in his heart.

This feeling of having everything under his control, of being in control of the situation, was exactly the same as the feeling he had when he stood on the Hokage Rock and looked out over Konoha Village.

"The shop owner's jars are truly amazing."

Thinking of the comic book he found in Lin Mo's jar shop, containing information about the future, Naruto Uzumaki was amazed.

He was very grateful to Lin Mo for opening the jar shop.

If it weren't for Lin Mo selling the comics, the original version of myself would have just foolishly rushed in.

"So, I need more money to open cans."

Thinking that his chance to become rich overnight was in the Land of Waves, Naruto Uzumaki was filled with excitement and couldn't wait to run there and take down Gato.

Watching the increasingly intense battle between Zabuza Momochi and Kakashi-sensei in the distance, with Zabuza's killing intent emanating from him, Naruto Uzumaki calmly said, "Kakashi-sensei will protect me, so your threats are useless against me."

When he spoke, Naruto's eyes were full of confidence and composure.

He knew that he could rely on Kakashi-sensei's strength to fight Zabuza, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Naruto."

"That guy."

Nearby, Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha both had complex emotions in their eyes when they saw this scene.

Even though they felt they understood Naruto after spending these few days together, he now seems like a complete stranger.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

At that moment, with a low growl from Zabuza, his hands quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding river water was instantly manipulated by his chakra, forming a giant water dragon.

"Boom!"

The water dragon spiraled up, carrying a violent force, and charged towards Kakashi.

The water dragon's body tumbled in the air, stirring up gusts of wind, its momentum terrifying, as if it wanted to tear any enemy in its path to shreds.

Kakashi's eyes narrowed, and his Sharingan spun rapidly, instantly copying Zabuza's ninjutsu.

His hands also quickly formed hand seals at almost the same time.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"boom!"

A similar water dragon rose from the river in front of Kakashi, exactly like Zabuza's water dragon. The two water dragons circled in the air at the same time, roaring as they charged toward each other.

"Bang!"

The two water jets collided violently in the air, splashing water everywhere. The impact uprooted the surrounding trees, and the resulting waves instantly submerged the surrounding grassland.

"What?!"

Zabuza's pupils suddenly contracted. He never expected that Kakashi could copy his ninjutsu in such a short time, and with no less power.

This copy ninja truly lives up to his name; his ability to instantly mimic an opponent's ninjutsu is simply unbelievable.

"Splash!"

At this moment, the two water dragons intertwined in the air, splashing water everywhere like blades, emitting a piercing shriek.

As the water surged, their chakra collided in the air, producing a deep rumble.

Zabuza's expression changed slightly as he sensed Kakashi's powerful chakra and precise control over water-style techniques, all of which shocked him.

"Hmph, I didn't expect it to be copied so quickly."

Zabuza muttered a curse under his breath, his expression gradually turning serious.

He knew that Kakashi was far beyond his understanding of information, and he would have to use ninjutsu of that level.

However, before he could react, Kakashi formed hand seals again, his movements faster and more skillful than before.

"Boom!"

As Kakashi formed hand seals, a massive surge of chakra erupted from his body, causing the surrounding river to churn and create countless currents.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

Kakashi gave a low shout and swung his hands forward sharply. Instantly, the river water transformed into a massive wall of water, like a flood bursting its banks, and rushed towards Zabuza.

"Boom!"

The water surged and roared, with an irresistible force, as if it wanted to devour everything in its path.

"Is this the power of the Copy Ninja?!"

Zabuza's expression changed drastically, and horror and unease flashed in his eyes.

He hadn't expected that Kakashi could not only copy his ninjutsu, but also execute it even faster than him.

This force gave him a sense of oppression he had never felt before.

He was just about to use this ninjutsu, but Kakashi used it first?

"Boom-boom-boom!"

The roar of the massive torrent echoed throughout the battlefield as the river surged toward Zabuza like a thousand horses galloping into the distance.

Zabuza swiftly swung his Executioner's Blade in an attempt to block the massive flow of water, but the force of the water was too great, instantly engulfing him.

"Kakashi-sensei is that strong!"

Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura stood to the side, their eyes filled with shock.

They had never seen such a fierce battle, nor such powerful ninjutsu.

Sasuke Uchiha, in particular, was shocked by what he saw. Was this the power of a Jonin?

That powerful chakra and unparalleled fighting skills were completely beyond his imagination.

Sakura Haruno was equally shocked as she watched all of this, her face filled with disbelief.

Kakashi-sensei usually seems so lazy, but I never expected him to be so terrifying when he actually fights.

The two instinctively stepped back, their faces filled with shock and awe.

Such power and combat prowess were beyond their reach, leaving them both admiring and shocked.

However, amidst this terror and shock, a different light shone in Naruto's eyes.

Naruto Uzumaki stared intently at the battle between Kakashi and Zabuza, his eyes filled with a thirst for and pursuit of power.

"This is the power I've been searching for!"

Naruto thought to himself silently.

He was neither afraid of Zabuza's threat nor of the intensity of the battle.

He knew that this level of combat and power was what he was pursuing.

Feeling the power of that ninjutsu, Naruto felt a surge of excitement in his chest, his heart filled with anticipation and determination for the future.

He thanked Lin Mo's jar shop, for it was those comics that gave him a thorough understanding of everything before him, filling him with confidence and courage.

However, if you want to quickly master this level of power, you need to open the can!

You need money before you can open the can!

"it's over!"

In no time, the floodwaters dissipated, and Kakashi used a kunai to pin Zabuza Momochi's limbs to a large tree on the shore.

At the same time, he casually took out a brand new kunai and slashed it at Zabuza Momochi's neck.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

At that moment, several whooshing sounds rang out, instantly startling Kakashi.

Kakashi immediately stepped back and saw a person wearing a white mask appear.

At the same time, Zabuza Momochi was struck through the neck by several flying needles and collapsed to the ground.

"This mask!"

Upon seeing the mask he was wearing, Kakashi's pupils constricted sharply: "The Hidden Mist Ninja Pursuit Squad."

"As expected, it appeared."

Seeing the white figure appear, Naruto Uzumaki sighed, not at all surprised.

"Impressive, you even know that."

At this moment, Haku looked at Kakashi and nodded, saying, "My duty is to hunt down rogue ninjas."

"Your battle is over. I need to collect the bodies and dispose of them."

What happened next was exactly the same as what Naruto had read in the manga.

Haku left with Zabuza Momochi's corpse.

Kakashi collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

Just as Naruto had predicted, Kakashi was taken to Tazuna's house.

At this very moment, time has already passed.

As night falls, the last rays of the setting sun gradually disappear on the horizon, and the darkness, like a deep curtain, shrouds the entire world in silence and mystery.

Naruto Uzumaki stood by the window of his own room in Tazuna's house.

I looked up at the night sky, took a deep breath, and felt the cool night breeze on my cheeks.

"We can move now."

Naruto checked the comic book in his pocket, then instructed Charmander to stay quietly in the room.

Tonight is the best time for him to act.

According to the manga, after Zabuza is rescued, Gato, having received news of the mission's failure, will go to find Zabuza.

Naruto knew he had to seize this opportunity.

In the manga, Gato is always accompanied by two samurai, which presents him with a good opportunity to take action.

Not only Gato, but Zabuza is also his target.

Even though Zabuza was a Jonin and there was another guy with a bloodline limit by his side, Naruto felt no fear, but was instead filled with fighting spirit.

After all, with the guidance of the comics, he had a full understanding of the future, which made him more confident than ever before.

Immediately, Naruto Uzumaki quietly jumped out of the window.

Its movements were light and swift, like a nimble night cat moving silently through the darkness.

Moonlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground, providing him with perfect cover.

According to the manga, Zabuza would hide in an abandoned hut near a river to heal after being injured.

Naruto quickly recalled the details from the manga and swiftly traversed the forest, searching for the place depicted in the manga.

The forest was exceptionally quiet at night, broken only by the occasional chirping of insects.

After searching for a while, Naruto finally found a hidden place in a dense thicket of trees, thanks to Naruto's Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

Just like in the comics I read.

A stream flows by here, and next to it is an abandoned hut with a dilapidated roof and walls covered with moss and vines, looking like it has been abandoned for a long time.

But through the window, it was clear that the room was very dark, and only a blurry figure could be vaguely seen.

Naruto Uzumaki recognized him immediately—it was Zabuza!

Zabuza was leaning against the wall, his face pale, clearly still recovering.

"Found it!"

Naruto felt a surge of joy.

He immediately squatted down and quietly observed the small house.

"Did Kado come, or not?"

Naruto Uzumaki pondered for a moment, then analyzed the situation and concluded that Gato probably hadn't arrived yet.

I'll just wait and see.

Thinking this, Naruto hid in the shadows, waiting patiently, his eyes fixed on the direction of the hut.

If we catch Kado tonight, everything will go smoothly.

Time passed slowly, the night grew deeper, and the surrounding silence was somewhat oppressive.

Just then, Naruto's ears twitched slightly as he heard a loud footstep.

Accompanied by the sound of leaves being crushed underfoot, they gradually approached this direction.

"They're here!" Naruto's heart tightened, and he quickly hid himself even deeper, his eyes fixed on the movement over there.

Sure enough, not long after, three figures appeared in front of the hut.

Kado was leading the way.

He was accompanied by two samurai, who looked menacing and were clearly there to find Zabuza.

"We just need to wait for an opportunity."

Naruto was overjoyed to see his wallet arrive.

For a moment, I held my breath, waiting for the best opportunity.

At this moment, Kado and his men approached the hut, then aggressively pushed open the door and went inside.

"Even you failed and fled back in a sorry state. It seems that the ninjas of the Land of Mist are all useless."

As Gato walked in, he looked at Zabuza Momochi and sneered, "You can't even clean up a mess, and you call yourself a demon? That's laughable."

Upon hearing this, Zabuza Momochi fell silent.

"What? Are you mute?"

Seeing that Zabuza remained silent, Gato sneered and stepped forward, reaching out to grab Zabuza's neck.

In an instant, Bai grabbed his hand and said coldly, "Take your dirty hands off me!"

Upon seeing this, the two samurai that Kado brought were immediately enraged and drew their swords.

But before they could even draw their knives, Bai touched their necks with two knives, leaving the two men in shock and disbelief.

They were completely powerless to resist.

Seeing this, Kado showed no fear, but instead roared angrily, "You only have one last chance. If you mess this up again, get out of here!"

He felt no fear whatsoever towards Zabuza Momochi.

After all, they were ninjas hired by him.

They were just two wandering ninjas being hunted down!

Zabuza Momochi remained silent, as did Haku.

Kado sneered, turned around, and walked away.

However, the moment he stepped across the threshold, Naruto Uzumaki had already been lurking in the shadows by the door, waiting for this moment to arrive.

As Gato's figure was fully exposed in the night, Naruto suddenly leaped out, his figure as swift as lightning, appearing behind Gato with lightning speed.

"Now!"

Naruto let out a low shout and attacked instantly.

He grabbed Cardo by the collar and yanked him back sharply.

They then pinned Kado to the ground, rendering him unable to move.

Kado was so frightened by the sudden attack that his expression changed drastically. His previous sneer and anger vanished instantly, replaced by fear and astonishment.

He never expected that just moments ago he was swaggering around, but the next second he would be completely subdued.

"Who...who are you?! Let me go!"

Kado screamed in terror, his voice trembling noticeably.

He struggled desperately, trying to break free from Naruto's control.

But Naruto's power and speed completely exceeded his expectations.
