Chapter 24 Doubt
"For Mr. Zabuza!"
A fervent look appeared on Haku's usually placid face.
He was indeed a man who lived for his beliefs.
Kizaru glanced at the injured Sasuke, and a flash of yellow light brought Kizaru to Sasuke's side. He picked up Sasuke from the ground, and with another flash of yellow light, he appeared beside Sakura.
Sakura, who was guarding Tazuna, saw the injured Sasuke, and her heart clenched. "Sasuke-kun~"
"He's in your care!"
Kizaru placed Sasuke on the ground, and a yellow light flared, bringing him near the battlefield of Kakashi and Zabuza.
Zabuza quickly retreated!
It was two against one, and with a master like Kakashi, he had to be extremely cautious.
Kakashi, meanwhile, stared at Naruto in shock.
Was this really Naruto?
What was that yellow light?
His own teacher was called the "Yellow Flash" merely because his speed was so fast, like a flash of light, combined with his yellow hair, which earned him that title!
Now... Naruto's state just now, he saw it clearly, that was... he had truly turned into a beam of light!
Could there be any Ninjutsu that allowed one to completely transform into light?
Even though he had copied thousands of Ninjutsu, he had never seen, or even heard of, such a thing!
Was it another one of Naruto's self-created Ninjutsu?
But, there were no signs!
Something was definitely wrong!
Doubt arose in Kakashi's heart.
From now on, he might have to pay special attention to Naruto~
After all, he had heard of reincarnation-type Ninjutsu, especially from that snake-like man~
Moreover, that man enjoyed researching Ninjutsu, so perhaps... it was possible!
Highly possible!
Kakashi had a guess.
Since Naruto had come with the intention of attacking Zabuza.
Then he shouldn't interfere. This was a good opportunity to observe and see if Naruto had truly been... But why would that guy choose Naruto?
Naruto's usual talent wasn't particularly outstanding; he even carried the title of Loser... Sasuke, on the other hand, not only had the title of genius but also the bloodline of the Uchiha Clan, making him a more likely target for that guy... "Then, Mr. Zabuza, who only trusts the great sword in his hand, let me show you the power of light!" Kizaru felt the abundant power of the fruit within him, and his confidence grew significantly.
For some reason, the power of the fruit he used to control the seal had greatly weakened. The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox had not caused any trouble, allowing him to truly use most of the fruit's power.
Since that was the case, Kizaru smiled, and with a pull of his hands in front of him, a sword made entirely of light particles appeared before him.
Kizaru's signature technique—ama no murakumo.
Because he was currently in Naruto's body, which was much smaller than his original body, the sword he conjured was much shorter to match his current physique!
"I forgot to tell you, I'm also quite proficient in swordsmanship!"
With that, he charged forward, thrusting his sword!
Kakashi was stunned!
Kakashi concluded: Such a move was definitely not something the original Naruto would do!
Moreover, this technique was somewhat similar to the effect of his Chidori attached to a weapon!
However, his Chidori attached to a weapon still had the physical form of the weapon, but this thing was entirely composed of light, without any physical form!
Would such a virtual sword be effective against a person, but facing a divine weapon like kubikiribōchō, would it not simply pass through?
In the instant Kakashi was dazed, Kizaru had already arrived and clashed his golden light sword with Zabuza's kubikiribōchō!
The golden light sword met the black kubikiribōchō, emitting a series of golden sparks.
"A good sword, and impressive swordsmanship!" Zabuza's voice was quite gloomy. "But, who do you think I am!"
Zabuza suddenly put more force into his hand, and kubikiribōchō surged forward, sending Kizaru, holding the ama no murakumo, flying!
Zabuza's voice came at the opportune moment: "A brat is still a brat! Although your talent is good, you have a fatal weakness, and that is insufficient strength!"
Kizaru dusted himself off, slowly stood up, feeling depressed: Although Naruto's body had been trained, he was still a child, and truly couldn't compare to his original body.
He had to be careful in future battles; his current physical condition was no longer what it was when he was an Admiral. Although he also realized that this body's potential was even greater than his original body, it hadn't been fully trained and developed yet, as he was still young!
Therefore, some of his past combat experience couldn't be directly applied.
If that were truly the case, it would surely lead to a tragic death, nothing more!
For anyone, experience and habits are indeed a huge asset, but in certain situations, habits can unknowingly harm oneself!
Empiricism... always a double-edged sword.
"Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, a good title. Your combat intuition is indeed sharp. Well then, I won't make the same mistake again. Do you know what my strongest technique is? It's unparalleled speed!"
As his voice fell, Kizaru's figure vanished, reappearing behind Zabuza. The ama no murakumo in his hand mercilessly slashed at Zabuza's back!
"So fast, indeed!"
Zabuza exclaimed in surprise. The moment Kizaru's figure disappeared, Zabuza became wary, but he still couldn't react in time.
The golden sword light flashed!
Splash~
Liquid splattered!
It wasn't red blood, but blue water!
Water?
Water Clone!
Oh no!
Sure enough, Zabuza's voice came from behind at the opportune moment, "Brat, next life, remember not to be too arrogant. Before you grow up, a genius is still just a genius. All the geniuses who die by my hand are just that!"
At the same time, the sound of kubikiribōchōcutting through the air appeared behind Kizaru's head!
"All those killed by you are geniuses? That's just them, not being genius enough!"
Whoosh!
A yellow light flashed across Kizaru's body again, and he instantly appeared behind Zabuza. Zabuza, who was swinging kubikiribōchō, couldn't stop his body's momentum.
Kizaru grinned, "Oh my, what a terrifying monster. If I let you keep fighting, it would truly be dangerous!"
While saying how terrifying it was, the ama no murakumo in his hand unhesitatingly stabbed into Zabuza's body.
Red blood flowed, and Zabuza's eyes widened. "I never thought I'd die at the hands of a brat like you. How unwilling!"
Kizaru smiled, "So, in your next life, you should still believe in light!"
