Chapter 36: The Brutal Sasuke
Suddenly, a thick fog spread from the forest.
Zabuza seemed to have expected it long ago and jumped into the thick fog to avoid it. "Be careful, this mist is made by ninjutsu. Another partner of the opponent has shot," Kakashi immediately warned.
Seeing Zabuza lose his trace in the thick fog, Sasuke turned and threw the beheading sword to Kakashi. "Mr. Kakashi, I entrust you with this broken knife. I'm not used to it," Sasuke said.
Hidden in the thick fog, Zabuza thought to himself with resentment, "This hateful brat, to be so dismissive of his beheading sword!"
"Haku! Go stop Hatake Kakashi and the others," Zabuza ordered Haku through the mist. He planned to let Haku temporarily block Hatake Kakashi with ice escape while he used the time to capture Uchiha Sasuke and then blackmail Hatake Kakashi in exchange for his own beheading sword. This kid is a descendant of the Uchiha clan; Hatake Kakashi should not give up on him.
One by one, ice mirrors surrounded Kakashi and the others.
"I will stop you, and I won't let you get in the way of Master Zabuza," a soft voice came from the mist.
Kakashi did not seem worried about Sasuke at all.
The Fourth Raikage commented, "He actually wanted to capture Uchiha Sasuke alive..."
Terumi Mei added, "Whether you can defeat him or even retreat is already impressive, and to capture him alive..."
Mangetsu Hozuki praised, "As expected of the man who assassinated the Mizukage, if you don't kill your predecessors again, your courage is admirable!"
Zabuza, being silent, realized his mistake. If he had known the enemy's information in advance and paid attention, he would still need to fight. But now, he in another world was still underestimating the enemy.
"Throat, spine, liver, lungs, carotid artery, subclavian artery, kidney, heart... so many deadly parts, where should I start?" Long and swaying voices came from all directions.
Sasuke's mouth twitched, very disdainful. "Psychological attack? This kind of method is useless to me. Let's try something advanced," he scoffed. This tactic was nothing more than an attempt to scare him and reveal his flaws, something that might work on an ordinary Genin.
Zabuza was silent for a moment and began to form hand seals.
There was an unspeakable silence around. Sasuke had question marks all over his head. What was Zabuza doing if he wasn't attacking? Why the sudden stillness?
After nearly ten seconds, a sudden loud sound of water came from behind, and the Water Dragon Bomb rose and rushed towards Sasuke.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bomb Technique!" Zabuza announced.
What's the situation? Sasuke wondered why it had taken so long for a Water Dragon Bomb to be used. He mobilized his Fire Style Chakra without any seal at all.
"Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique!" Sasuke shouted.
Boom! A ferocious fire dragon shot up into the sky instantly and easily swallowed the Water Dragon Bomb.
"What?!" Zabuza was in shock. Is this Fire Style? Why doesn't he need to seal? And it's still so strong that it actually swallowed his Water Dragon Bomb?
Seeing the terrifying fire dragon gaining momentum, it burst through the thick fog and continued to rush towards him. Zabuza quickly formed a seal with his hands.
"Water Style: Water Barrier!"
A tall wall of water rose, blocking Zabuza's path.
There was a hiss!
The fire dragon struck the water wall. The Water Barrier evaporated quickly, and the flames continued to surge through!
"No, a single layer of Water Barrier can't stop it!"
Zabuza was anxious to use another Water Style defense, but it was too late. The fire dragon broke through the water wall and struck him!
Uzumaki Naruto exclaimed, "Amazing ninjutsu!"
Senju Tobirama remarked, "This level of Fire Style is probably rare, even in the history of the Uchiha clan!"
Uchiha Madara observed, "Swallows Water Dragon Bomb and then penetrates a Water Barrier. Uchiha Sasuke's Fire Style is truly powerful."
Uchiha Fugaku added, "And Sasuke can cast it instantly without needing to form seals!"
Hatake Kakashi noted, "The Fire Dragon Technique seems to be a B-level Fire Style. This powerful ninjutsu doesn't even need seals..."
The Sasuke from that world probably doesn't need seals for his ninjutsu.
Mangetsu Hozuki suggested, "If you don't defeat the senior, it won't end, right?"
Terumi Mei estimated, "It took nearly ten seconds to complete the Water Dragon Bomb. He likely used the original version with 44 hand signs..."
Senju Tobirama scoffed, "Bah, rubbish!"
Uzumaki Naruto teased, "Kakashi seemed to have taken a long time..."
Hatake Kakashi remained silent.
"Ahem!"
Zabuza jumped out, charred and completely embarrassed.
His arms and front were extensively burned!
It was only because the Dragon Fire had been weakened by the Water Dragon Bomb and Water Barrier that he wasn't burned to ashes.
With the sound of rushing wind, Sasuke charged forward, sparks of lightning flickering over his body, landing a heavy punch directly at Zabuza's head.
"Damn it!"
Zabuza, with no time for curses in his mind, crossed his arms, barely blocking.
Crack!
Both of his arms broke, and several ribs snapped along with them!
He was flung backwards, coughing up blood in mid-air.
He had never faced such an embarrassing defeat in his life.
Struggling to rise, his arms hung limply by his sides.
Even then, Sasuke did not give him a chance to catch his breath. Sasuke instantly rushed forward, raised his leg, and kicked the leg that had not been cut off.
Crack!
"Ahhh!!!"
Zabuza couldn't help but wail in pain.
His left leg broke, twisting inward.
It was at this point that Haku on the other side slowly realized what was happening and immediately tried to rush over to help.
But it was too late.
Sasuke grabbed Zabuza's hair, lifted him, and smiled as he asked, "I wonder how much money you could fetch on the underground black market?"
