Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: First Meeting with Zabuza

"You guys are just sitting in the sun like this. Isn't it stuffy?" Neji asked, squatting down.

The Kirigakure ninja below didn't say anything.

"They might throw some shurikens over there," Neji continued.

The two Kirigakure ninja were still unmoved.

"Tenten, it's up to your aim," Neji said helplessly.

"No problem!" Tenten immediately threw the two shurikens out, excited.

"What! They're really coming!"

The two Kirigakure ninja were shocked and immediately jumped up.

At this time, everyone smirked.

"Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms."

"Konoha Whirlwind."

"Hidden Weapon Barrage."

A few minutes later, the two Kirigakure ninja died here, beaten and swollen like beehives.

"Hahaha, youth!" Might Guy laughed. Then, he looked at Tazuna with a gloomy face.

"Mr. Tazuna, these Kirigakure ninja are here to hunt you down, right?"

"This kind of mission that requires fighting ninja can be raised to B-rank."

"Mr. Tazuna, you falsely reported the mission. We have the right to end it. Do you have anything to say?"

Might Guy asked sharply.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Tazuna had no choice but to explain everything about Gato hiring Kirigakure ninja to assassinate him. He didn't have enough money, so he falsely reported the mission.

However, after hearing the whole story, Might Guy and Lee resolutely decided to help Tazuna. Being commoners themselves, they couldn't ignore this.

Besides, this kind of mission is more challenging.

Neji naturally wanted to go. He hadn't even seen Zabuza and Haku, so how could he go back?

Tenten shrugged: "Since you've all decided, then I'll naturally go too."

So, everyone continued on their way.

After crossing a river, they arrived in the Land of Waves, walking through a forest.

Neji looked at the slightly familiar terrain in front of him and was ready to fight.

"Be on guard, protect Mr. Tazuna," Might Guy suddenly said, waving his hand.

The three immediately formed a swastika formation. They also sensed the powerful Chakra nearby, as well as the piercing killing intent.

Neji even activated his Byakugan, warily looking around.

He knew that Zabuza was about to come out.

"Careful!"

Whoosh!

A sound of something cutting through the air rang out. It was a huge blade coming at them.

Everyone immediately pushed Tazuna down and lay on top of him.

Kubikiribōchō passed over everyone and stuck into a large tree.

Swoosh...

Immediately afterward, a shadow with bandages on its head flashed and stood on the large sword stuck in the tree.

"That sword..." Might Guy said, pupils shrinking: "You are... the Demon - Momochi Zabuza."

Might Guy might not be very familiar with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, but he was very familiar with these seven swords.

After all, his father died because of these seven swords.

Zabuza was radiating an extremely strong killing intent, his eyes filled with coldness.

"Might Guy, huh?"

Zabuza jumped off the sword and pulled out Kubikiribōchō, saying to Might Guy:

"When I was in the Kirigakure assassination squad, my handbook had a record of you, one of the people I need to be very careful of."

"Oh, the Demon Zabuza, I also want to have a youthful duel with you," Might Guy said.

"Enough nonsense. The person behind you is mine," Zabuza said, pointing the blade at Tazuna.

"That won't do. I can't let my youth be stained," Might Guy laughed.

"You guys, protect Mr. Tazuna."

In an instant, Zabuza and Might Guy burst out with shocking momentum. Just this momentum made Lee and the others feel scared.

Is this the duel between Jonin? Just this killing intent is enough to make them lose the will to fight.

However, Neji looked at all of this without panic. If he was afraid of people at this level, he might as well not live. Almost everyone later on is much stronger than Zabuza.

Besides, unlike Kakashi, who is always running out of chakra, Might Guy is durable. Also, for taijutsu ninja, being able to tell where someone is by listening is a basic skill.

Zabuza's Hidden Mist Technique is useless.

Swish!

At this time, Zabuza's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot. At the same time, Might Guy disappeared.

Clang! Clang!

Continuous sounds of collision came, extremely fast, with sparks flying everywhere.

"Hmph! Might Guy, using a small kunai to compete with my Kubikiribōchō, you underestimate me too much,"

Zabuza snorted, but at the same time strengthened his belief that his weapon was much better than Might Guy's, and he would definitely win this battle.

But Might Guy remained unmoved: "Let me show you the power of youth."

In an instant, Might Guy shot out, his body appearing in front of Zabuza in an instant.

"Konoha Whirlwind."

No one noticed that at this time, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Neji's mouth, and he slowly took out a kunai from his bag.

Bang!

Zabuza was kicked back by Might Guy, his heart filled with shock.

So fast. He couldn't let his guard down even for a moment.

"As expected of Might Guy. You really can't face you head-on," Zabuza said.

At this time, the fog in the forest became thicker and thicker.

Zabuza flipped and jumped onto the water not far away, his hands flying, forming one sign after another quickly.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique."

Suddenly, the water surface shook violently, and a giant dragon made of water emerged from the water, roaring towards Might Guy.

"Hmph, Konoha Great Whirlwind," Might Guy jumped up, spinning rapidly.

Boom!

Then, the two collided, and the water dragon was immediately scattered, and Might Guy landed steadily.

"See, this is youth."

"You are indeed strong, but you can't stop the person I want to kill."

Hearing the voice, Might Guy looked back, his eyes widening.

At some point, Zabuza had arrived in the swastika formation.

"It's over!"

Zabuza looked at Might Guy coldly, Kubikiribōchō swinging towards Neji and the others.

But at this time, a flash of silver light flashed past, and another figure instantly appeared in front of him.

"What?!"

Zabuza looked at Might Guy in confusion, who was blocking Kubikiribōchō and giving himself a kunai, and Neji on the other side, who was using a kunai to stab himself in the body.

What's going on?! Zabuza almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Might Guy was one thing, but what about this Genin kid?

His perfect assassination attempt was actually walking into a trap, coming to be beaten up?!

Not to mention him, even Might Guy was very surprised at this moment. Neji was the only one besides him who instantly counterattacked Zabuza.

Looking at his calm face, it seemed that he had expected all of this.

"Is it Byakugan? No, Byakugan hasn't been activated yet."

To this, Neji smiled calmly. Everything is under my control.
