Zabuza was overjoyed in his heart. The jutsu Sasuke had just unleashed was astonishingly powerful,
but it must have co at a significant cost.
Now Sasuke was in a weakened state the perfect opportunity for revenge.
As the notorious Demon of the Hidden Mist, Zabuza Momochi had earned a certain level of fa across the ninja world.
To be pinned down and pumled by a re genin brat was a humiliation beyond words.
Now that Sasuke was vulnerable, it was his chance to restore his pride.
The Executioner's Blade in Zabuza's hand trembled slightly.
In the next instant, the paralysis in his body completely faded, and a murderous glint exploded in his eyes.
With a single step, he charged straight toward Sasuke.
In that mont, Zabuza's speed was terrifying. The blade of the Executioner's Blade was aid directly at Sasuke's forehead, about to cleave down in a straight arc.
"This is bad! Sasuke's chakra is completely drained!"
Kakashi's expression darkened instantly, and he rushed forward.
'I hope I can make it in ti!'
Due to his earlier position, Kakashi was farther away. Although Zabuza was injured, the strength of a jonin was no joke.
For Sasuke, without the boost from his Godspeed, dealing with such speed was nearly impossible.
However, Sasuke wasn't entirely immobilized. He took a step back, retreating instantly!
BANG!!
The blade slamd into the ground in front of Sasuke. The sheer force, combined with the sharpness of the Executioner's Blade, split the earth, leaving a crack in the ground.
But Zabuza didn't pause after his first miss and launched another attack.
"Die, you brat!"
This ti, with the distance even closer and Zabuza accelerating, Sasuke had no way to dodge.
Then, in the next mont
CLANG!
A tallic clash resounded as sparks erupted in front of Sasuke.
A figure appeared, stepping between Sasuke and the descending blade.
Kakashi, holding a kunai in one hand, blocked the horizontal slash of the Executioner's Blade.
A powerful gust of wind swept through the area in an instant.
Kakashi exhaled softly. "Just in ti."
"If your chakra was running low, why didn't you retreat earlier?"
Hearing this, Sasuke could only let out a helpless chuckle.
"This jutsu isn't sothing I can control!"
Your own jutsu... isn't sothing you can control? Then who else can control it?
Kakashi was montarily at a loss from Sasuke's explanation.
"Lightning Style ~ Godspeed: Gale Thunderclap relies on Lightning Chakra to stimulate the body, triggering explosive speed. All actions perford are instinctual, based on the opponent's movents and my body's first reactions."
"The movents are autonomously generated by my body and don't require my control. So, when too much chakra was consud, my body kept reacting on its own, and I couldn't cancel the Godspeed state in ti!"
Kakashi froze for a mont upon hearing Sasuke's explanation.
A jutsu like this actually existed completely out of the user's control, relying solely on the body's automatic reactions to fight.
After a brief mont of thought, Kakashi understood.
No wonder Sasuke's speed earlier had been so astonishing, even to him.
And the movents of his attacks had seed so peculiar.
It turned out they were instinctual reactions from his body.
This effectively eliminated the ti needed for the brain to process and respond.
Although that fraction of ti seed negligible, in the pursuit of ultimate speed, even that small saving was enough to make a significant difference.
Realizing this, a bead of cold sweat rolled down Kakashi's forehead.
'What an incredible jutsu you've developed, Sasuke...'
Right now, it might not seem like much, but as Sasuke continued to grow stronger, this technique would undoubtedly beco a terrifying force.
Perhaps one day, the title of the Fastest in the Ninja World would belong to Sasuke.
Godspeed, Sasuke.
"Get out of my way, Kakashi! I'm going to kill that brat!" Zabuza roared.
Although Zabuza was covered in injuries, his strength was no match for Kakashi at this point.
Kakashi glanced at him and easily deflected Zabuza with his kunai, taking a defensive stance.
"Zabuza, a single genin from Konoha has injured you to this extent. Do you still think you're in any condition to continue fighting?"
"Especially against ..."
Kakashi's tone was calm, but it made Zabuza's expression twist with anger and frustration.
Kakashi Hatake wasn't an opponent to be trifled with. He was high on assassination target lists, notorious for being extrely difficult to take down.
Now, injured and far from his best, Zabuza knew that facing Kakashi in this state would only end in complete defeat.
The more Zabuza thought about it, the angrier he beca.
He never imagined that the Demon of the Hidden Mist would one day be outdone by a brat a re genin at that.
As Zabuza hesitated in frustration, Kakashi was already preparing a decisive blow.
Against an enemy like Zabuza, Kakashi wouldn't leave any openings.
One careless move could put Sasuke and the others in danger, and Kakashi couldn't allow that to happen.
Just as Kakashi was locking onto his opportunity to strike
BOOM!
A sudden explosion echoed behind him.
The sound ca from the direction where Naruto and the others were.
Both Sasuke and Kakashi imdiately turned to look.
Smoke and dust filled the air, and Naruto was thrown backward, slamming hard into a tree.
As the smoke began to dissipate, a cloaked figure appeared, their body and face completely obscured.
The figure held the unconscious Tazuna in one hand.
Behind them, another ninja stood with a kunai plunged into Sakura's abdon.
Blood flowed rapidly from the wound, staining the kunai blade.
Sakura's face was pale.
In that mont, both Sasuke and Kakashi froze in shock.
The sudden arrival of these figures was tid all too perfectly.
"Sakura!"
Kakashi's expression darkened, his gaze icy.
Soone dared to attack one of his genin team mbers?
They were blatantly disregarding him as a threat.
Zabuza was equally stunned. Who were these newcors?
Their target was clearly Tazuna as well. What was going on?
'Could it be that Gatoh hired more ninja besides ?'
With Tazuna as the target, this seed to be the only logical explanation.
As Zabuza was pondering, a wave of intense killing intent erupted, sweeping across the battlefield.
Zabuza glanced at Kakashi in surprise.
'He's enraged, huh?'
'Staying here any longer would be a terrible idea.'
'Hmph, if Gatoh hired others beyond , then let them deal with the terror of Kakashi Hatake!'
Zabuza slowly retreated, then turned and left without hesitation.
Kakashi didn't pursue him.
Instead, he turned his attention back to the two mysterious ninja who had suddenly appeared.
