"You think you've won?" A lot of water suddenly flowed from Zabuza's wound, revealing that it was a water clone.
At the same time, the real Zabuza behind him swung down at Might Guy again.
Might Guy glanced out of the corner of his eye, not panicking at all. In a strange position, he turned and kicked the Zabuza behind him.
But Might Guy's foot went straight through Zabuza's body. This was also a water clone.
At this moment, Zabuza suddenly ran from a distance, holding Kubikiribōchō, which made a rustling sound as it dragged on the ground.
"Might Guy, you've lost."
Zabuza flipped over and slashed down with Kubikiribōchō, a bloodthirsty look in his eyes.
Just then, Might Guy suddenly put his hands on the ground, kicked Kubikiribōchō away with his left foot, and then kicked Zabuza's chin with his right foot.
"Shadow Dance Leaf!"
Zabuza was kicked into the air and then spun down at high speed by Might Guy from high above.
Boom!
With a loud crash, a huge pit was smashed into the ground.
In the pit, Zabuza was kneeling on one knee, clearly badly hurt. "Heh, as expected of you, Konoha's Blue Beast Might Guy. But you can't win this fight."
Zabuza forced himself to cheer up and sneered. Then he grabbed Kubikiribōchō and jumped onto the water.
"Water Style: Hidden Mist Technique."
Instantly, the already thick fog became even thicker.
"So he's using that move." Neji held his forehead. "Are the people of Hidden Mist stupid or something?"
Could it be that soaking in water all year round has messed up their brains?
"Byakugan."
I can't miss this kind of intense fight.
At this point, Might Guy saw the thick fog and smiled broadly.
"I see, you want to have a real taijutsu match with me. As expected, this is what youth is all about!"
Zabuza, hidden in the fog, was stunned. "I don't know what you're talking about. You can only run your mouth now."
Then he grabbed Kubikiribōchō and charged at Might Guy. "I, the Demon of Hidden Mist, Momochi Zabuza, will be your doom!"
"Dynamic Entry."
"Fierce Konoha Strong Whirlwind!"
"Konoha Rock Destroying Rise!"
"Ah..."
The next moment, a scream came as Zabuza was slammed hard into a big tree by Might Guy.
Having suffered two heavy blows, Zabuza's energy was already weakening.
"Wh-why?" Zabuza struggled to get up, but he was too badly hurt to stand.
"Tsk, tsk..."
Looking at the bruised and swollen Zabuza, Neji pursed his lips and shook his head with a sigh.
This is too terrible. He's beaten so badly that even Haku probably wouldn't recognize him.
Seeing Might Guy walking towards him, Zabuza laughed. "To die at your hands, Might Guy, wouldn't be a disgrace to my name. Do it."
"Ah, goodbye."
Shoo, shoo, shoo~
Just as Might Guy was about to send Zabuza on his way, several sounds of piercing wind suddenly rang out, and several senbon needles were directly stuck into Zabuza's neck.
"What?" Might Guy was shocked.
Then a ninja wearing a mask appeared on a large tree in the distance.
"I am from the Hidden Mist's assassination squad. I have been ordered to hunt down Zabuza."
"Is that so..."
"Yes, please give Zabuza to me. I need to report back." Haku said.
Might Guy went forward, as usual, to check Zabuza's body, and then signaled for Haku to take Zabuza away.
As Haku carried Zabuza's 'body' past Neji, Neji said to him in a barely audible voice:
"You and Zabuza are in the same group, right? I hope you take care of yourselves, or next time, I can't guarantee you'll survive."
After hearing this, Haku's body trembled slightly. He gave Neji a deep look, and then left with Zabuza.
This was naturally just a polite warning. Haku and Zabuza wouldn't let things go so easily.
Neji's purpose was only to plant a seed of doubt in their hearts. Of course, if they really listened and gave up, he wouldn't bother them.
"Everyone work harder, we'll finish the mission soon! Burn, youth!" Might Guy shouted.
"Youth!!" Lee also followed suit.
Neji looked at Might Guy helplessly. This guy is just too simple-minded.
Some time later, in a house, the faking-dead Zabuza slowly woke up: "You, you were supposed to make me look dead, but didn't you hit me a little too hard?"
Haku smiled. "If I didn't do that, how would we fool Might Guy? But..."
"But what?"
"But Zabuza, that Hyuga clan kid seemed to see through your fake death and warned us to watch out."
Haku thought for a moment and decided to tell Zabuza what Neji said.
"It's that kid with the Byakugan." Zabuza's expression suddenly turned gloomy.
That kid could actually see through my disguise. Fortunately, it was a clone, or I would have died in that kid's hands.
"And that Might Guy, his ears are too sharp."
The more Zabuza thought about it, the angrier he got. "I... I really had bad luck today!"
At this time, a short man with a group of bodyguards behind him pushed the door open and walked in.
"I heard you failed? I only hired you at a high price because I valued your strength..."
The short man kept talking, which made Zabuza, who was already angry, even more annoyed. He directly swung his sword, stopping it an inch in front of the short man's eyes.
"Gato, I've had bad luck today. If you dare say another word, I'll kill you first!" Zabuza said angrily.
"Yes, yes..." Gato nodded quickly and hurriedly led his people out.
"Tch, someone who isn't even a ninja dares to tell me what to do."
"Zabuza, should we continue?" Haku asked.
"Continue! I'm going to use this Kubikiribōchō to end them myself."
A few days later, Neji and the others finally arrived at Tazuna's house, and everything was developing steadily as in the story.
Neji didn't bother to pay attention to Tazuna's grandson. Anyway, he would rise up and fight after his mother was taken away.
However, Neji wouldn't stand by and watch Tazuna's daughter be taken away. After all, he had received a reward during this time, although it wasn't very useful.
"The host ate with Tsunami and received a reward: one hundred taels of silver."
A day later, the two samurai sent by Gato arrived as scheduled, but were easily dealt with by Neji in a few moves.
"What a pain, they took so long to come."
"The host saved Tsunami and received a reward: one hundred taels of silver."
After receiving another useless reward, Neji left without looking back and headed to the bridge.
"Seriously, the rewards for interacting with ordinary people are too stingy."
Let's see how the others are doing.
