Konoha's Zhige

Taking a boat into the Land of Waves, the scenery is different from the Land of Fire, and it is filled with mist.

After the ship docked, Naruto was very excited. He stood at the front of the team, as if he had forgotten Kakashi's arrangements. It was his turn to perform well this time.

Kunai stabbed her wrist to show her determination. Hinata Chika, who had slightly changed her mind about Naruto, retracted her previous comments. If she had a choice, she would never perform a mission with this person again. Strength is one aspect, his character and style. , the behavior is completely unqualified for a ninja.

"watch out!"

Naruto threw a kunai towards the grass.

"Idiot Naruto, don't bluff, look at the good things you've done."

Sakura picked up Yukito, who was frightened by Naruto.

Snow Rabbit, how could there be a Snow Rabbit living in the snow in a place like this? No, this is a Snow Rabbit bred specifically for the purpose of doing the Substitution Technique.

"Get down!"

"There is an enemy on the left front!"

Kakashi and Hinata Chika shouted almost at the same time, a sound broke through the air, and a big knife passed across Naruto's eyes and inserted into the trunk of the tree. A man stood on the knife in a coquettish manner.

"Isn't this Kirigakure's rebellious ninja, known as Kijin Momochi Zabuza?"

Kakashi took a step forward and said nonchalantly, "Courtesy first, then attack." Although the opponent's menacing attack was obviously directed at them, let's give it a try.

"Who am I? It turns out to be the famous copying ninja Kakashi. There is your record in my assassination manual. The Sharingan Kakashi is said to have copied thousands of ninjutsu."

Zabuza said arrogantly.

"Can you give me that old man?"

Kakashi stopped Naruto who rushed forward to show off: "Don't get in the way, all of you, please step back."

"He is different from the two wandering ninjas before. He is not something you can deal with. If you want to fight him, it seems a bit difficult."

Kakashi lifted the forehead protector covering his left eye.

"I didn't expect to see the legendary Sharingan so soon. It's such an honor."

Even though Zabuza said this, he didn't feel any fear in his heart.

how come? At this moment, Uchiha Sasuke's heart was in great turmoil. Seeing that Zhi Ge seemed to be without any surprises, he asked in a low voice: "Do you know anything? Is he also from the Uchiha clan?"

"No, I won't be able to tell you clearly for a while," Zhige replied, staring at Zabuza intently.

"Protect Mr. Dazna as originally planned."

After giving the order, the genin immediately formed a formation and surrounded Tatsuna in the middle.

Zabuza pulled out the decapitating sword stuck in the tree, jumped onto the water, and injected a large amount of chakra into the water.

'Ninjutsu - Kirigakure no Jutsu' A large amount of mist quickly filled the air, and the surrounding visibility was extremely low for an instant. You could only see things two meters in front of you. Gradually, even your companions who were close at hand could not see clearly. .

"Eight places, throat, spine, lungs, liver, carotid artery, subclavian artery, kidney, heart. Which key point do you want me to attack?"

Zabuza's murderous words lingered in the ears of Naruto and the others, unable to see the unknown. The murderous intent of the jounin made it difficult for them to even breathe.

"Don't worry, I will protect you even if I die."

Kakashi's words relieved them a little.

"Open your eyes," Hinata Chika shouted softly, sweeping away the previous decline. This was the first time she encountered an enemy of this level. She was still affected by the murderous aura to some extent, which was a little better than Sasuke.

Zhige stood close and whispered: "The enemy's current position?"

"There is one on the water twenty meters directly in front, and one on the tree twelve meters ahead on the right. As for which one is the main body, it is beyond the scope of my ability," Hinata Chika said with high concentration.

"Is there a clone hidden under the water? I can't see clearly."

"Yes, I understand. Don't focus entirely on Zabuza alone. Look around to see if there are any of his accomplices," Zhige reminded. As expected, Minazuki Shiro was hiding in the dark.

Zhigo thought silently: In terms of reconnaissance ability, the Sharingan is really not as good as the Byakugan. Remember in the original book, Zabuza's continuous water body caused Kakashi to suffer a lot. Let's pull out the nails on the shore first!

"What do you want to do"

Seeing Zhige walking forward with his sword in hand, Hinata Chika frowned.

"Kakashi-sensei, I wonder if you mean what you say?"

Aware of the movement behind him, Kakashi didn't understand Zhige's intention, but he still replied: "I am still a jounin, so my words still have some weight."

"That's good"

As soon as he finished speaking, the 'Illusion Technique Sword Technique' was activated instantly. Under the conditions surrounded by mist, Zhi Ge was also at home like a fish in water.

Several phantoms flashed past Kakashi.

"It's so fast. This kind of speed is definitely not something that Naruto and the others can match. However, the opponent is Zabuza Momochi, one of the Seven Mist Ninjas. Moreover, he took the initiative to attack under the favorable conditions of the opponent. He is 'demented'. Or maybe he has other ideas."

Kakashi is ready to save Zhige at any time.

"what?"

The shadow of the sword passed through his hair, and Zabuza who was ambushing in the tree was shocked. Listening to the voice and arguing was as easy as eating and drinking water for him. At the critical moment, he swung the decapitating sword to block Zhi Ge's assassination.

"You little brat, you really don't know how to live or die."

Even Kakashi was so cautious, but a brat genin actually dared to attack him in Kirigakure no Jutsu, and how the brat knew that he was ambushing here, Zabuza was very angry.

"Fuck" the sound of swords clashing with each other.

"If you have a hand, since you can fight Zabuza reciprocally."

Kakashi praised.

Why? Why was Zhi Ge able to attack without being affected, but I was completely frightened? Sasuke looked at the place where the sound came from with great reluctance, and could see nothing but sparks from the collision of weapons.

Sasuke was not the only one who thought this, Naruto and Sakura were also completely stunned. They were obviously only one year older than them, but there was such a huge gap.

"Qianjia, have you noticed that Zhi Ge has been a little different recently?" Nara Quan Shui had been holding back these words for several days.

"Where?" Hyuga Chika answered absentmindedly. After defeating Neji, and now fighting against the Jonin, he did not fall behind in a short period of time. It was indeed true. He had been hiding his clumsiness all along.

"If it were the previous Zhige, he would never do such a high-profile thing for him as using a shadow clone to deal with Kushina-sensei, and launch an attack on a Jonin or an enemy alone. Can you imagine this? Is it Zhi Ge?"

"Ok?"

Hinata Chika remembered a mission a few months ago. The enemy was a chuunin. Teacher Kushina asked Zhige to solve it alone, but the answer she got was: Teacher, I didn't offend you, why don't you be so cruel!

In the end, it was she who took action to solve the problem. There were many times like this. So what happened to make Zhige change so much?
