Team 7 24: Haku vs.
Team 7 Whoosh!
Body Flicker Jutsu!
Haku shot toward Sasuke Uchiha like an arrow released from a bow.
“So fast!” Sasuke’s expression changed drastically.
He could no longer maintain his aloof act and hurriedly raised both arms to defend himself.
Bang!
Haku’s kick struck him squarely in the face!
Sasuke was sent flying backward.
“Sasuke!” Sakura Haruno screamed in alarm.
Whenever something happened, all she knew how to do was shout.
“Shadow Clone Jutsu!” At the critical moment, Naruto Uzumaki stopped fooling around.
He clumsily formed hand seals and summoned more than a dozen shadow clones in one breath.
“They aren’t ordinary clones.
They have physical bodies?” Haku was slightly surprised, but he did not panic in the slightest.
Under Zabuza Momochi’s training, Haku had already accumulated extensive combat experience as a shinobi!
With a rapid barrage of punches and kicks, he easily destroyed every shadow clone.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
His final strike sent Naruto’s real body flying.
“Stop!” Sakura threw a kunai at Haku from behind.
Haku caught it with a backhanded grip.
His figure flashed, and he appeared directly before her, holding the kunai against her throat.
“Ah!” Sakura immediately froze in terror.
“Sakura!” Naruto shouted in alarm.
“Damn it!
Is the difference between our strength really this great?” Sasuke felt utterly humiliated.
He had been praised as the number-one student at Konoha’s Ninja Academy, yet in his first true battle, he had been completely overwhelmed.
“You brats are still far too inexperienced.
When I was your age, I was already traveling through the shinobi world.” Haku spoke expressionlessly.
“I don’t want to hurt you, but I have no intention of letting you hurt me either.
I advise you to behave yourselves and tell me who you are and why you came here.” “S-Sasuke, hurry and save me!” Tears streamed down Sakura’s face as she cried out helplessly.
“Sakura!” Naruto charged forward recklessly, only for Haku to kick him to the ground once again.
“Idiot!
Stop charging in by yourself!” Sasuke at least possessed some intelligence and calmly analyzed their predicament.
“Stop wasting your strength.
You are no match for me,” Haku said coldly.
At that moment, however, a casual voice drifted from behind him.
“My, my~ It seems you’ve been having quite a lot of fun with my students.” “What?!
When did you—” Haku’s expression changed drastically.
He had not sensed the figure behind him at all.
Whoosh!
Haku immediately released Sakura and rapidly retreated to the side.
“It’s too late to run now.” “Earth Release: Mud Wall!” Three earthen walls suddenly rose from the ground, blocking each of Haku’s escape routes.
Kakashi Hatake appeared before him with a kunai in hand.
“Kakashi-sensei!” Team 7 reacted as though their savior had arrived.
This man…
He’s incredibly powerful!
Judging by his movements alone, he may be no weaker than Mr.
Zabuza!
Haku immediately recognized that Kakashi was extraordinary and concluded that he could not defeat him.
“Ice Release: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals!” Haku activated his kekkei genkai, creating numerous mirrors of ice around the area before merging his body into one of them.
“A kekkei genkai?” Kakashi’s expression became slightly more serious.
He raised the forehead protector covering his left eye, revealing a crimson Sharingan!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Large numbers of ice senbon shot from the mirrors.
Whoosh!
Using the Sharingan, Kakashi predicted most of their trajectories.
He activated the Body Flicker Jutsu and skillfully evaded the barrage.
He really is powerful!
Haku understood how strong his opponent was and had no intention of prolonging the battle.
He planned to use the ice senbon to suppress Kakashi long enough to escape.
“This is somewhat interesting.
All the more reason not to let you get away!” Kakashi formed hand seals, curling one hand into a claw.
A large amount of chakra gathered in his palm, producing an intense current of electricity visible to the naked eye!
“Lightning Release: Lightning Cutter!” …
“All right~ I’m done playing with you.
I really do have business with the daimyo.” Akira maintained his calm expression and openly walked toward the building where the daimyo was located.
“Hey!
Our teachers are discussing important matters with Lord Daimyo.
Whatever you want, wait somewhere else!” Kiba Inuzuka spoke coldly.
“Um…
Akira, could you please wait a little?” Ino Yamanaka looked troubled as she tried to stop him.
“But I also have something extremely important to do.
Someone’s life is at stake!” Akira spoke with complete seriousness.
“This…” Everyone immediately hesitated.
As shinobi, their orders were to guard this place and prevent outsiders from entering.
However, Akira had claimed that a life was at stake, making it difficult for them to simply refuse him.
“In that case, why don’t we go inside and deliver your message for you?” The intelligent Shikamaru Nara proposed a reasonable compromise.
His suggestion was fair and convincing.
Akira, however, shook his head and refused.
“There’s no need to make things so troublesome.
It would be easier for me to go in myself.” With that, Akira ignored their attempts to dissuade him and strode toward the building.
“Sorry.
Perhaps I’m being overly suspicious, but there is something questionable about you.” Shino Aburame stepped in front of him.
Countless kikaichū crawled across his raised arm.
“Wait, Shino!
Is there really any need to use your insects?” Ino protested.
“No.
The insects are right to be wary.” Akira smiled as he spoke words that instantly chilled everyone present.
“After all, I’m going inside to kill someone~” ⚡ Support the Story & Unlock More Chapters!
