"Don't even think about leaving here."
"Water Release: Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death!"
Haku shouted, not giving Sasuke a chance, quickly forming hand signs and crying out.
In an instant, countless water senbon rapidly condensed above Sasuke, poised to strike.
Left with no choice, Sasuke quickly turned around to temporarily avoid the attack.
"Sasuke!"
Kakashi called out, moving to rescue him, but Zabuza held him back tightly.
"Just as you said before, your opponent now is me, Kakashi," Zabuza said with a fierce and sinister expression, his Kubikiribōchō spinning as he attacked again.
'It seems I can only trust Sasuke until I defeat Zabuza.' Kakashi thought, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes as his kunai counterattacked fiercely.
Inside the Secret Technique: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals.
"Next, you can only defend against my attacks," Haku spoke calmly, looking at Sasuke, who had retreated.
His body merged into an ice crystal, and under a specific angle of reflection, Haku's figure appeared in every ice crystal.
"Tch, you still succeeded… In that case, Sharingan," Sasuke spat lightly, gazing at the countless ice crystals, his eyes instantly turning crimson.
He had anticipated this situation and had prepared for it!
"Is this the Uchiha's Sharingan? A dōjutsu that can see through all of an opponent's attack trajectories and defend in advance. I wonder how you will defend against my attacks?"
Haku questioned with a cold, expressionless face, three ice senbon appearing in his hand, shooting out at extreme speed.
Almost simultaneously, all the Haku figures in the ice crystals made the same movement, unleashing a barrage of illusory senbon from 360 degrees, with no blind spots.
Mixed between illusion and reality, it was hard to distinguish.
'I see it!' Sasuke thought, his pupils contracting, bursting with chakra, moving from his original position.
The next instant, the spot where he had stood was covered by a dense shower of senbon, a truly close call.
"Not bad… Then, I'm going to get serious now!"
Haku said, looking at the crimson single-tomoe Sharingan, not surprised at all.
The Sharingan's perception was indeed not simple.
'Serious? That wasn't even his maximum speed just now!' Sasuke thought, his pupils contracting, realizing the danger, his body tensing, ready for battle.
Although he had seen Haku's movements before, they weren't that clear.
The perception of a single-tomoe Sharingan was still a bit lacking.
"It's starting," Haku sneered, the senbon in his hand shooting out wildly again, rapidly weaving through the mirrors, attacking from all angles like a torrential storm.
Sasuke's eyes widened, activating his Sharingan, quickly dodging and beginning to form hand signs.
Constantly taking hits was not his style.
"Puff, puff, puff…"
Caught off guard, just as Sasuke was about to complete his hand signs, he was pierced by three senbon.
At the same time, his Great Fireball Technique was interrupted.
"Is your speed only this much? Then I'm sorry, your existence ends here," Haku said fiercely, grabbing two more ice senbon, looking at Sasuke, who was panting as he pulled out the senbon.
'Damn it, the single-tomoe Sharingan can no longer fully track all the senbon. There's no other way. Although this will consume some chakra, if I want to break through the blockade alone, this is the only option! A quick fight.'
Sasuke thought, his eyes flickering, as purple-blue chakra airflow erupted around his body.
"Silent Killing!"
"Impossible, how can you use Zabuza-sama's Silent Killing!"
Haku exclaimed, his face changing, recognizing the familiar taijutsu.
As Zabuza's student and subordinate, how could Haku not know what this was?
At the same time, Kakashi and Zabuza, fighting outside, stopped in astonishment.
Sasuke, how could he use the Hidden Mist's Silent Killing?
"I just practiced this ninjutsu, which uses chakra techniques to enhance physical prowess, and I learned it. Today, you will know what an Uchiha is! What a genius is."
Sasuke sneered, feigning disdain, acting cool as a breeze, vowing to solidify his reputation as a genius in one fell swoop.
With these reward skills, he couldn't possibly not use them.
So, there was no need to hide them at all.
They weren't obtained by dishonorable means, so what was there to fear?
Did he want to play the pig to eat the tiger and get beaten into a porcupine?
Sorry, Sasuke had no masochistic tendencies.
A genius needs no reason!
"Is this what a true genius is?"
Haku muttered, his eyes filled with shock, hearing the confidence in Sasuke's words.
Kakashi and Zabuza outside were the same.
"Then let me see how much faster your speed can get. You defiler of Zabuza-sensei," Haku said, his expression changing, revealing a cold glint, his figure rapidly weaving through the ice crystals, unleashing a furious barrage of senbon.
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
In an instant, senbon, even faster than before, attacked Sasuke from all angles.
However, Sasuke's speed, with Silent Killing, was not much slower than Haku's, and with his Sharingan, he remained unharmed amidst the hail of senbon.
"Using the mirrors' reflection to create attacks that are difficult to distinguish between illusion and reality. But the true attack is still only one physical entity. I'm sorry, I've seen through your ninjutsu," Sasuke said, quickly following Haku, dodging and weaving, his hands rapidly forming hand signs.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Sasuke shouted, opening his mouth, spewing a scorching Great Fireball after Haku disappeared into an ice crystal.
The next instant, the super-hot Great Fireball crashed into the ice crystal, the clash of ice and fire causing a burst of steam to rise.
But that ice crystal did not melt.
"You're disappointed. For now, it seems my ice crystals are sturdier," Haku said calmly, appearing on another ice crystal, secretly surprised by Sasuke's reaction speed.
"So what? The essence of ninja combat is deception! Who said I was going to use Fire Release to open a gap?"
Sasuke smirked mischievously, as the ice crystal behind him exploded with a loud bang.
"Explosive tag! When did…?"
Haku exclaimed, his face changing, not expecting Sasuke to open a gap this way.
"Heh heh," Sasuke chuckled, not giving Haku a chance to reform the ice crystals, rushing toward the gap.
As long as he got out, with Silent Killing's speed, he would completely overwhelm Haku.
Without the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals, Haku's speed wouldn't be as terrifying.
"Don't even think about escaping," Haku said, urgently bursting forth, throwing senbon to stop him, erupting chakra to condense ice crystals.
But against Sasuke's speed, it was futile.
He could only watch as Sasuke broke through.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Just as Sasuke's upper body broke through the blockade, three kunai, forming a triangular pattern, arrived instantly.
This sudden turn of events made Sasuke's face change, and he urgently kicked the half-formed ice crystal, retreating to dodge.
"Ah... How could it be Sasuke? I clearly saw that guy's figure!"
Naruto shouted in surprise outside the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals, making Sasuke's mouth twitch.
He had planned for everything, how could he have forgotten about the clumsy Naruto.
"Sorry, it seems luck is still on my side," Haku said coldly, taking the opportunity to restore the ice crystals, making Sasuke's face darken instantly.
