Chapter 228 Sasuke: So many marks on the Water Dragon Bullet? Tetsuya: Maybe they're more tradi
In the thick fog, Naruto stared wide-eyed at the flickering figure before him.
Despite his best efforts to watch, Kakashi and Zabuza's movements were simply too fast, and coupled with the thick fog, Naruto could only see two afterimages.
"They're moving so fast, I can't see them at all. Hinata, can you see them clearly?"
"can."
Hinata nodded. Her Byakugan granted her superhuman vision, making her the only person present who could clearly see the two people's movements.
"Really? Then who has the upper hand now? Can Kakashi-sensei win?"
"I don't know. Right now, it seems like Kakashi-sensei and that rogue ninja from Kirigakure are evenly matched."
Although Zabuza uses the Executioner's Blade, a weapon that looks extremely cumbersome, it is incredibly agile in Zabuza's hands.
However, even so, the huge blade still brought certain limitations.
In terms of agility, it's still somewhat inferior to Kakashi's White Fang Ninja Sword.
"Such impressive swordsmanship. As expected of the son of Konoha's White Fang, I underestimated you."
Zabuza swept his sword across, deflecting Kakashi's attack and simultaneously creating distance between them.
"As expected, it seems that engaging in sword fighting with the son of Konoha's White Fang is not a wise choice."
Although he was once a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, it was less about how excellent their swordsmanship was, and more about how skilled they were at using the seven ninja swords with special abilities.
Compared to someone like Kakashi, who inherited the renowned Hatake-ryu swordsmanship, their swordsmanship seems somewhat immature.
"It seems that Konoha has produced a second White Fang. In that case, I shall show you my true skills in this fight."
Zabuza slung his Executioner's Blade over his back and quickly formed hand seals to activate a ninjutsu.
The next moment, two Zabuza rose from the lake.
The three Zabuzas charged toward Kakashi together, quickly switching positions during the charge, making it difficult to distinguish which one was a clone and which one was the real one.
"Water clone? Sorry, that kind of illusion has no effect on me right now."
Kakashi's Sharingan tomoe in his left eye spun, and Zabuza's movements were clearly visible to him.
With a flick of his white fang ninja sword, he aimed straight at Zabuza on his left.
Seeing this, Zabuza on the left slowed down, while Zabuza in the middle stepped forward.
Kakashi instantly changed his stance and delivered a fatal blow.
With a flash of light, Zabuza, struck by the blade, exploded into a spray of water.
"Whoosh!"
A massive blade cleaved through the water curtain, heading straight for Kakashi.
Just as the two were fighting, two figures slowly arrived.
"Phew, we've caught up. They've already started fighting."
On the tree branch, Tetsuya changed into a black robe and put on a yellow swirling mask.
Sasuke, standing on the other side of the tree branch, was still dressed in white, with a long purple rope tied into a bow at his waist, and a long sword stuck to one side.
"Is that white-haired guy Kakashi Hatake? The copy ninja famous for using the eyes of our Uchiha clan."
"That's right, but it seems he's not using the Sharingan's power right now."
Tetsuya sized up Kakashi; he was all too familiar with the techniques Kakashi was using.
Isn't this the Hatake-ryu sword technique of Hatake Sakumo, the bodyguard captain he previously recruited from Konoha?
It seems that Sakumo's education of Kakashi was quite effective after he returned.
Another clash of ninjutsu ensued, and Kakashi seized the opportunity to unleash his own unique ninjutsu.
Above his right hand, blue lightning began to leap, and the violent lightning emitted bursts of explosions, like a thousand birds singing in unison.
"Is that Chidori?"
Sasuke frowned. He recognized the ninjutsu Kakashi was using. Wasn't that the Chidori that Orochimaru had taught him? How come Kakashi knew it too?
"Hmm, it does look quite similar, but it shouldn't be Chidori, but rather an advanced version of Chidori, Lightning Blade."
"An advanced ninjutsu of Chidori?"
"That's right. Chidori is just a basic ninjutsu. It's like a bowl of water. Water takes on different forms in different environments. After being developed, Chidori can also take on different forms. This is what we call the advancement of Chidori."
"Rachel!"
As soon as Tetsuya finished speaking, Kakashi activated Lightning Blade and charged towards Zabuza.
With a single, powerful thrust, he aimed straight for Zabuza's vitals.
"not good!"
Seeing this, Zabuza hurriedly used his Executioner's Blade to defend himself.
"Thump!"
The Lightning Blade struck, and Zabuza was sent flying by the immense force.
It barely managed to stop after drawing a long white line on the surface of the lake.
Zabuza felt a sharp pain in his hands from the impact. When he looked again, he saw that Kakashi's Lightning Blade, one of the Seven Swords of the Mist Village, had been cracked by Kakashi's Lightning Blade.
"What a terrifying attack! It actually managed to crack the Executioner's Blade. If such an attack were to happen again, the Executioner's Blade would probably break completely."
Zabuza seemed to have already seen Kakashi's Lightning Blade shatter the Executioner's Blade and pierce his heart.
"Since that's the case, then this is the only way."
Zabuza stood on the lake and began to rapidly form hand seals. As he continued forming the seals and mobilizing his chakra, the entire lake surface seemed to boil.
"Water escape technique? If that's the case..."
Kakashi watched as Zabuza began forming hand seals.
"Oh, here it comes! The most classic move, I'll defeat you with your ninjutsu."
Seeing Kakashi start forming hand seals quickly, and the hand seal movements being a one-to-one replica of Zabuza Tetsuya's, I knew that the classic Im was about to appear.
Sasuke, standing to the side, frowned and spoke.
"What kind of ninjutsu is this? So many hand seals?"
"Of course it's a water dragon bullet."
"Is this a water dragon bullet? Although I don't know how, I have seen water dragon bullet scrolls before, and they don't seem to have this many marks."
Sasuke asked, puzzled.
"Well, maybe it's because the ninjutsu used in Kirigakure is more traditional."
"Also, why is he standing there forming hand seals with the other side? Couldn't he just rush up and use Lightning Blade again? Or use Fireball Jutsu, or some other ranged ninjutsu to attack the opponent?"
That guy's a sitting duck right now, how can you just shoot at him like that?
"Forehead......"
Tetsuya paused for a moment after Sasuke asked him that question.
"Maybe it looks cooler this way. After all, Kakashi wasn't really serious from beginning to end."
He had heard about Kakashi's situation when he exchanged letters with Sakumo before. Under Sakumo's supervision, Kakashi had not slacked off at all.
The current Kakashi is no weaker than the Kakashi at this point in time.
It's just that his personality seems to have developed a little problem. Perhaps it was the deaths of Obito and the others that triggered Kakashi's current personality, which sometimes seems a bit wicked.
