Chapter 31
Water Release... Water Prison Technique!

This kind of destiny, at the mercy of others, makes one feel utterly helpless!

“Sasuke, don’t be afraid, even if it means risking my life, I will protect you both.”

Kakashi quickly noticed Sasuke’s strange behavior and comforted him.

“Is that so?”

Zabuza said from within the fog.

The next moment, Ya Yu felt a figure appear beside him!

Turning his head, he saw Zabuza, carrying the Executioner’s Blade!

Zabuza raised the blade high, aiming it at Tazuna!

In the face of imminent danger, Ya Yu pulled out two kunai from his ninja tool pouch and blocked Tazuna!

“Clang!!”

The dull thud made Ya Yu’s arms go numb!

On the other side, Zabuza was secretly surprised!

This kid, so young, had actually blocked his Executioner’s Blade?

Then, something even more shocking happened!

Ya Yu, his entire body emitting green steam energy, grabbed the back of the blade and pulled it backward with all his might!

Zabuza had not expected this child to have such strange taijutsu.

The moment the blade was snatched away, he was momentarily distracted!

Following that, Kakashi approached with a kunai in hand!

“Swoosh!”

The sharp tip of the blade flashed past Zabuza’s throat!

But instead of blood, clear water flowed out of the wound!

“Water Clone Technique!”

Kakashi immediately realized something was wrong and stood in front of Ya Yu.

Just then!

Zabuza eerily appeared behind Ya Yu, wielding his blade, and swung it horizontally towards Ya Yu!

“Brat, you’re not bad, but you’re about to become a corpse under my blade!”

As soon as he finished speaking.

Zabuza suddenly realized.

The brat in front of him had vanished without a trace!

Zabuza: !

What kind of ninja technique is this?!

He was clearly there just now!

Zabuza’s attack missed, and Kakashi quickly formed hand seals!

“Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!”

“Whoosh!”

The water flow converged into a dragon shape, rushing towards Zabuza!

However, when the water dragon collided with Zabuza’s body.

Kakashi was shocked to realize that this Zabuza was also a Water Clone!

Behind Tazuna.

The real Zabuza appeared, raised his blade high, and slashed down forcefully!

“Swoosh!!”

“Clang!!”

This time, it was Sasuke, who had been guarding Tazuna all along, who blocked Zabuza’s attack!

At the same time, Naruto beside Sasuke was not to be outdone.

Naruto, eager to prove himself, held a kunai and stabbed at Zabuza without hesitation!

“Swoosh!”

Naruto’s kunai was about to pierce Zabuza when Zabuza had to give up his attack and step back quickly, creating distance.

At this moment, Ya Yu used his Body Flicker Technique to appear beside Naruto and threw a kunai!

“You three did a good job!”

Kakashi praised them.

These three little guys had not only protected their own safety but also protected their mission target, Tazuna.

They deserved praise.

Just as Kakashi finished speaking, he noticed that Ya Yu, who should have been standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Sasuke and Naruto, had disappeared.

Kakashi: ..

What is this little guy up to now!

On the other side.

Zabuza, who had dodged, narrowly avoided the kunai that flew past his cheek!

Just as he felt relieved, Ya Yu, using the Body Flicker Technique on the kunai, instantly transferred behind Zabuza!

Ya Yu in the air caught the kunai and stabbed down sharply!

The experienced Zabuza sensed the wind rushing past his ear and raised his huge Executioner’s Blade to parry upwards!

“Puchi!!”

In the end, Ya Yu’s kunai struck first, piercing Zabuza’s shoulder!

At the same time, as the kunai pierced, Ya Yu left a Body Flicker mark on Zabuza’s shoulder!

With everything ready, Ya Yu immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to move to Naruto’s side.

And Zabuza’s blade missed again!!

The pain in his shoulder made Zabuza furious!

If it had been Kakashi, the Copy Ninja, it would have been fine!

But the key was that he was actually being made so miserable by a little kid!

Being beaten by a child, with a series of attacks that left him unable to fight back, without even touching a hair on the other’s head!

Soon, Zabuza came to his senses!

The red-haired kid had used the Flying Thunder God Technique, the same one as Yellow Flash back in the day?!

Oh dear!

The Yellow Flash had relied on that move back then.

In the Third Great Ninja War, he had been invincible, eventually becoming the Fourth Hokage of Konoha!

How old is this kid now?

Twelve years old?

At twelve, he had already learned such a difficult S-rank ninja technique!

Zabuza, when he graduated from the Ninja Academy and killed over a hundred classmates, hadn’t been this shaken.

Konoha had produced a super genius!

On the other side, Ya Yu, who had teleported to Naruto’s side, gave Kakashi a wink.

Kakashi immediately understood and silently gave Ya Yu a thumbs-up.

Then, Kakashi moved the headband that covered his left eye, revealing his red left eye!

This was the first time Ya Yu had seen the legendary Sharingan up close.

The red sclera and black pupil exuded an eerie sense of power.

On the other side, Zabuza ran onto the lake surface and quickly formed hand seals.

The lake water could enhance the power of his Water Release techniques.

On the shore, Kakashi’s Sharingan fixed on Zabuza’s hand seals, and he followed suit.

Two ninja at the Jounin level, their hand seals were as fast as lightning.

Ya Yu glanced at Kakashi, then at Zabuza on the lake, their movements were exactly the same!

Kakashi’s imitation seemed to have no delay whatsoever!

Then, at Kakashi’s signal, Ya Yu retreated behind Naruto and Sasuke.

Following this, the two ninja completed their hand seals and shouted in unison.

“Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!”

A swirling flow of water gathered in front of them, rushing towards the opposite bank!

Just as the two Jounin were using their ninja techniques, Ya Yu’s body suddenly charged forward, straight towards Zabuza on the opposite side!

“Humph, you’re too naive to try and ambush me!”

Zabuza snorted coldly, his blade swinging again!

This time, the blade accurately struck Ya Yu’s neck!

“Clack!”

Ya Yu was split in two.

“Splash...”

In an instant!

The clone Ya Yu’s body turned into electricity, wrapping around the Executioner’s Blade!

The electricity instantly paralyzed Zabuza!

Zabuza: ?

It’s over!

I’ve been tricked!!

Then, the real Ya Yu used his Body Flicker Technique to appear behind Zabuza and quickly formed hand seals!

“Water Release: Water Prison Technique!!”

“Whoosh!”

Ya Yu pressed his right hand forward!

The lake water was guided out, forming a water sphere, trapping Zabuza’s body firmly!

Zabuza: !!

“I didn’t expect it to really work, what a pleasantly surprising kid.”

Kakashi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
