Naruto's Endless Pretense

The Country of Waves is an island country, surrounded by sea and inaccessible.In order not to alert Cardo's killers, Sasuke and others chose to take a boat to the country gate and then quietly return to the Kingdom of Waves through the sewer.

In Sasuke's view, this was actually a meaningless move. The entire Kingdom of Waves was under Cardo's control, and returning home quietly would not evade pursuit.

After passing through the sewer and landing at a simple wooden dock, it was only a short distance from Dazna's home.Seeing that home was just ahead, the old man was also very happy and kept thanking Kakashi.

“The closer we get to success, the less we can let down our guard, not to mention that it’s still too early to be successful.”

Sasuke looked around, then opened his Sharingan and looked at Kakashi.

"There is a river over there. I'm going to clean the black knife. It was stained with blood before."

After saying that, Sasuke belly walked into the jungle.Kakashi understood what Sasuke meant, and out of trust in Sasuke's strength, he led the remaining people on their way quickly.

Zabuza, who was hiding in the bushes, saw Kakashi running away with Tatsuna, and he felt a move in his heart and reached for the decapitating sword and wanted to take action.This section of the road is the best place for an ambush. Once Kakashi and the others arrive at Zuna's house, it won't be so easy.

"Sorry, I can't let you catch up yet."

Just when Zabuza was about to take action, a short blade suddenly stabbed him from behind. Zabuza turned around and blocked the attack with a horizontal movement of his decapitating sword.After seeing clearly that his opponent was just a 12-year-old child, Zabuza couldn't help but laugh.

"I thought it was Kakashi who used the clone technique to deceive me, but I didn't expect that it was actually a kid who came to die?"

"Well, then you will be defeated by a kid today."

Sasuke also laughed after hearing Zabuza's words. He picked up the short sword with his left hand and drew it from the back of the decapitating sword, creating a spark and cutting Zabuza's throat.

Zabuza did not defend against Sasuke's attack. Instead, he followed Sasuke's offensive and slashed his sword downwards. The beheading sword was much longer than Sasuke's short sword. Zabuza would definitely be cut in two before Sasuke cut Zabuza's throat.

"When cutting, rely on the length of the knife."

Sasuke spat, pressed his right hand on the decapitating sword, did a backflip over Zabuza's head, and then used his left hand to backhand the short sword as a flying knife and threw it towards Zabuza.

Dodging the dagger thrown by Sasuke, Zabuza laughed, then quickly formed seals with his hands and spit out a large amount of heavy water.

"Water Escape, Water Prison Technique."

Large water droplets gathered together and wrapped Sasuke into a water ball. Zabuza inserted one hand into the water ball to maintain the ninjutsu, and picked up the decapitating sword with the other hand and cut Sasuke into two sections together with the water ball formed by the water prison.

However, Sasuke, who was cut off, did not bleed. Instead, he turned into fragments and re-condensed behind Zabuza. He was about to cut off with the black sword in his right hand, but Zabuza reacted and blocked it in time.

"I didn't expect you to be quite capable. Little brat, your name can already be recorded in my assassination manual."

Zabuza asked while wrestling with Sasuke with his sword.

"Uchiha Sasuke, remember this name, it will change your life."

As he spoke, Sasuke formed a single-handed seal with his free left hand. The powerful thunder chakra gathered on the palm, and then stabbed towards Zabuza's chest.Upon seeing this, Zabuza immediately deflected the black sword and dodged to the side, but in the end he was still unable to move faster than the Chidori at close range, and his left arm was slightly injured by Sasuke.

Zabuza jumped to the river in the distance, raised his left hand high and released a large amount of chakra, and a mist slowly filled the air.

"Ninja Art of Hidden Mist."

Gradually surrounded by thick fog, Sasuke opened his Sharingan, but he still couldn't see through the obstruction of the thick fog.

"Throat, spine, lungs, liver, carotid artery and subclavian vein, kidneys, heart. Ask me, where do you want me to attack first?"

Invisible murderous intent rushed towards Sasuke, but it had no effect.

"It's a boring trick, but it still cannot be separated from the hand-to-hand combat of the genin."

Seemingly dissatisfied with Sasuke's provocation, Zabuza suddenly

Appeared from behind, the huge beheading sword bypassed Sasuke's body and chopped from front to back.

There was a flash of sparks from the intersection of swords, and Sasuke was kicked away, with a deep and shallow wound on his abdomen.Zabuza saw that Sasuke had quickly adjusted and escaped into the mist again, preparing to kill Sasuke with one blow like a pack of wolves hunting a deer.

"Sure enough, it's still a lot worse than Kakashi."

Sasuke felt a little emotional. Although he and Kakashi seemed to be evenly matched when they fought, it was not a life-and-death fight after all.Now after fighting Zabuza, Sasuke discovered that in such a life-and-death moment, he still did not have the alert reflexes and calculation capabilities of Kakashi.

"It seems that it's a bit difficult to deal with you just now."

After using Palm Senjutsu to temporarily treat the wound on his abdomen so that it would not affect the battle, Sasuke put the black sword back into its sheath.A purple chakra slowly emitted, surrounding Sasuke like smoke.

"Why don't you give up, kid?" Zabuza's voice came from all directions again.

"I said, this is just a boring trick, and I haven't left the level of genin yet." Sasuke said and closed his eyes.

There were no more sounds in the mist, only the murderous intent that almost condensed around it. The decapitating sword broke out of the mist again. The three water bodies and Zabuza's body surrounded Sasuke from all sides and slashed at Sasuke's throat at the same time.

But to Zabuza's surprise, Sasuke actually left his encirclement one step ahead, stood behind him, and slowly grasped the handle of the knife with his electric right hand.

"The art of drawing swords, and killing them all with one sword!"

A bolt of lightning flashed by, and Zabuza was unable to dodge and could only use his sword as a shield to defend himself.Although the beheading sword was strong, it was still unable to withstand the black sword blessed by the Chidori Blade and was cut into a missing corner.

Sasuke took advantage of the victory and pursued, dissipating the Chidori Blade and replacing it with cutting wind chakra. He used the black sword to cut the chakra along the path of the knife to form a wind blade, which cut Zabuza's right hand in the air.

This move was acquired by Sasuke after he obtained the black sword.Hatake swordsmanship is a tanto-style swordsmanship, so Sasuke's black sword is not as good as the short sword. However, the length and chakra adaptability of the black sword can control the chakra attached to it very well. The wind attribute chakra can even It was cut away as a wind blade.

When he first discovered this, Sasuke also slashed out a "sword energy" whenever he had time. Of course, this sword energy was blue, not green.

"Damn you brat, I don't want to play with you anymore. I'm going to kill you with one move."

After saying that, Zabuza jumped back to the water and started to form seals. The seals were very complicated but Sasuke was familiar with them. It was the advanced ninjutsu Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu that could only be performed after 44 seals.

Facing the huge water dragon coming from the shop, Sasuke did not form seals and use ninjutsu to resist, nor did he prepare to draw his sword to kill the water dragon.I saw the purple chakra around Sasuke getting thicker and thicker, gradually turning from a light mist into a substantial stream of water, wrapping around Sasuke like a snake.

Boom! The huge water flow flooded the surrounding forest for a while, sending Sasuke flying away.The panting Zabuza looked at Sasuke floating on the water, raised his beheading sword and walked towards Sasuke.

"You're very good, kid, but it's a pity that you fell into the hands of this uncle."

But before Zabuza could approach Sasuke, Sasuke suddenly struggled to get up and spit out a large mouthful of blood.

"Keijin Zabuza, I didn't expect you to be quite cunning. Knowing that I had the Sharingan, you first used the water dragon bullet to confuse me, and then released the Great Waterfall Jutsu. That level of water flow would have drained your energy. Chakra, right?"

"How is it possible that you can stand up again after being hit head-on by such a stream of water?" Zabuza looked at Sasuke who stood up again in horror, his right hand that had been cut by the wind blade trembling faintly.

"Forget it, I'll let you see my model now."

Purple chakra spread out again, covering Sasuke's body, and finally formed a purple cloak with three magatama marks on the back.Sasuke reappeared from the cloak, his body vaguely burning with lavender flames, and his hair color changed from black to lavender that was close to white.

"Okay, Zabuza. It's time to deal with you and catch up with the main force!"
