Kakashi was now trapped in a water prison jutsu, rendered completely useless.
Withdrawing from ANBU and only doing missions occasionally dulled his fighting instinct and now he is suffering because of it. A lot of emotions were going through him but he didn't let them take control. He was seasoned jonin for a reason.
He calmly tried to analyze the situation and arrived at a few solution which involved him endangering his life as well as his own team's too.
He was once again facing a team elimination situation again...
It created dread in his heart...He hated abandoning teammates...such situations sickened him, making him remember the painful nights...He'd rather die than allow his teammates to be killed again...
He remembered the amount of times he woke up during the night and cried as he washed his hand, which he thought were stained with blood of Obito and Rin.
Hallucination that haunted his every night.
Something he couldn't control even now.
He still wakes up sometimes in the night and nearly peels off skin off his palms with Kunai. This was the reason he started wearing gloves. Countless attempts to kill himself but still not being able to because that would mean that his comrade's sacrifice was wasted on him.
A man who doesn't want to live but is forced to.
'Obito! Rin! Give me strength...I won't let your sacrifice be in vain! I will protect my teammates this time!' Kakashi thought as he started building up chakra inside his body.
His plan was to unleash a Chidori with one of his arms and piercing the water prison jutsu as well as Zabuza in one go but first, he needed his students to run away.
Because of the electric shock he may not be able to save them and so he screamed, " Team! Move out with Tazuna and complete the mission! Abandon me! Prioritize the mission!"
But as expected, they didn't listen.
"We won't abandon you, Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto replied back as he rushed towards Zabuza but Zabuza merely created a one handed seal and another Zabuza appeared in front of him, made up of water and chakra.
A water clone. Naruto was just brushed off by his water clone.
Being in desperation, Naruto screamed for Voice-kun's help.
(Inside world)
'Voice-kun HELP ME! I KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT I DON'T THINK I CAN DO IT! PLEASE HELP ME!' Naruto screamed as snot covered his face and tears flowed from his eyes.
Naruto knew what he had to do in that moment but he was...scared.
What if it went wrong? What if he messed up and Kakashi ended up dying?
After a long time, he finally made somewhat of a bond with someone from the village. He still couldn't truly give up his desire to be accepted. It gnawed him every night, but he was able to brush it away with help of Voice-kun.
(A/N: Ashura's chakra tryna mold Naruto into a savior c*nt but Naruto himself is opposed to the idea so he is often in turmoil because of that.)
'Sure why not. Don't hesitate in such moments Naruto. This is reason I am here for. You can rest for a few days from now. Clearly all this is too harsh for you right now. You aren't supposed to even face a chunnin, let alone a jonin.' Kazuya gave him a kind smile and took over the control.
Kazuya couldn't stop smiling at all. Everything was according to the plan.
Naruto will keep on being in turmoil because of the environment as well as circumstances Kazuya set up and will lose himself in thoughts, making him an effectively, a mindless puppet who only follows orders. It was proceeding towards the direction but he still needed to deal with Ashura's chakra somehow.
But hey! it was progress nonetheless.
(Outside world)
Kazuya immediately brushed off the dirt on himself. The progress on the forbidden jutsus was interrupted but it doesn't matter. This takes priority.
He finally felt Zabuza's killing intent, it was...pitiful?
It felt...a little cold and tingly but that was it?
This was the moment, Kazuya finallt radiated his own killing intent.
He gave off a bone chilling aura.
The near death moments that ninjas experienced were the reason for giving off killing intent.
More you experience near death moments, higher it gets.
However, Kazuya was someone who faced death itself, brushing past it, screaming not even close. How much or rather how potent will be someone's killing intent who literally brushed past death and came back to life?
An aura that guaranteed death.
It made even Zabuza feel weak for a moment.
Despite Kazuya killing only a few children since his reincarnation, his killing intent was abnormally high.
"I think this should be ended now." Kazuya said as he created a lot of clones to deal with Zabuza's water clone while turning 3 clones into Fuma shuriken.
Kazuya attached two of his explosion tags to one of the clones and threw them with all his might, towards Zabuza's real body.
"Naïve." Zabuza said as he dodged the first fuma shuriken Naruto.
He saw that 2 fuma shurikens were hidden inside first fuma shuriken's shadow.
He immediately sensed both of them and jumped in the air.
"Foolish!" Zabuza said as he relaxed internally.
For a second, he thought that he was daydreaming when the blonde kid said 'I think this should be ended now.' and released terrifying killing intent.
As he was thinking this, something unexpected happened.
Both the Fuma shuriken turned into the said blonde kid!
"Henge on clone!" Zabuza said as released his hands to save himself.
His senses were sharp and he clearly heard a familiar hiss.
He quickly tried moving but was grabbed by the feet by two clones.
"Katsu!" The clones said as they blew up the explosion tag, sending to Kakashi towards the ground and Zabuza's feet being injured a lot.
The things went terribly wrong because he decided to underestimate a genin.
