The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

Zabuza couldn't help but glance in the direction of Hozuki Izumo.

Zabuza understands now.

Uehara Shu must have told Hozuki Izumo how to use the Divine Staff Enma from the beginning, but Hozuki Izumo forgot and only remembered it now that he noticed he had successfully activated it.

"That Hozumo-kun is really unreliable!"

"I knew it. Lord Uehara couldn't possibly be so petty."

"Blood Blade Yama?"

"Indeed, the knife lives up to its name."

"Because of the side effects, it cannot be used for a long time."

"The voice that appeared in my head was probably a manifestation of the side effects."

"These are truly terrible side effects."

However, Zabuza grinned instead.

"This means that I haven't fully unleashed the power of the Divine Staff, no, the Blood Blade Yama."

Zabuza chased after the fallen Namiashi Raido.

The red aura emanating from her body seemed to transform into a flowing ribbon behind her.

"die!"

Sudden.

A flash of lightning appeared.

"Hatake-ryu Sword Technique, Third Form: Distant Thunder!"

Zabuza swung his sword at Namiya Raido, but it was blocked.

"Kakashi Hatake!"

Zabuza narrowed his eyes slightly, and then became excited.

When the situation in Kirigakure was extremely dire, the village desperately needed a way to boost morale. With the mid-level and top-tier ninjas unable to hold their own, they turned their attention to the younger ninjas.

Kisame Hoshigaki and Zabuza were the chosen ones at that time.

Asuma faced Kakashi of Konoha.

Zabuza defeated Asuma.

However, he was defeated by Kakashi.

This led to a situation where, later on, when people discussed other younger generation ninjas, they would bring up the fact that they had been defeated by Kakashi.

When Kohachi and Kakashi went toe-to-toe, Kohachi's ranking immediately rose above his own.

This is a sore point for Zabuza.

Besides his desire to obtain a Zanpakuto, Zabuza's greatest wish was to fight Kakashi, defeat him, and wash away the shame of his previous defeat at Kakashi's hands.

Now, Zabuza has obtained his Zanpakuto.

Therefore, only one thing remains.

"Today is such a good day."

"Since you've come to me, I won't stand on ceremony."

Having obtained the Enma staff, Zabuza possessed ample confidence when facing Kakashi.

"kill!"

With that sound, Zabuza vanished instantly.

"You're welcome? Then let me see how capable you are now."

Kakashi's figure also disappeared.

Both of them were very fast.

Extremely fast.

It's ridiculously fast.

They were so fast that the surrounding ninjas couldn't even see them with their naked eyes.

As they approached the spot where the two had passed, they left behind a series of afterimages.

The two colors are intermingled.

One of them is red.

One of them is white.

"Both of them are incredibly strong!"

"Kakashi truly deserves to be called the number one genius of the younger generation in Konoha."

"Zabuza's strength did indeed increase greatly after he obtained the Zanpakuto."

"Killed Yamashiro Aoba with a single strike."

"A single, severe blow, and the injuries are identical."

"Zanpakuto is truly a terrifying existence. Before, Zabuza was clearly at a disadvantage when facing Yamashiro Aoba and Namiashi Raido, but suddenly he became so strong."

"If only our Konoha had a great blacksmith like that."

Some Konoha ninjas said.

The Konoha ninja next to him retorted.

"There's no need to envy Kirigakure. We in Konoha may not have a great blacksmith, but we have the heroic spirits of countless predecessors."

Even if he were to die, he would still be willing to give his strength for Konoha.

"Even after death, they will burn for the village."

"To give back to us, the younger generation."

"The art of dancing leaves also sustains the fire."

"This is the Will of Fire!"

Kakashi is fast.

Lightning Release attacks are very powerful.

However, after the fight, Kakashi had to admit that Zabuza was really strong at that moment.

Its speed is no less than his own.

The strength is greater than oneself.

Moreover, that knife was very strange.

It even changes shape during the attack.

One moment it's a broadsword, the next it's a katana.

It then turned into a longsword.

This change forced Kakashi to focus some of his attention on it.

Zabuza's attacks grew increasingly fierce.

After a dozen or so rounds, Kakashi had already fallen into a disadvantageous position.

At their speed, it didn't actually take long.

Kakashi gritted his teeth.

"Is this the power of a Zanpakuto?"

"Much stronger than Thor's Sword!"

Only those who have used a ninja sword truly understand the differences between them.

It's like how Juzo Biwa is to the Executioner's Blade and the Blue Rose Sword.

It's like the Black Hoe Raiya compared to the Thunder Blade and the Thunder Strike Blade.

Kakashi was already quite satisfied after obtaining the Thunder God Sword.

Compared to the ordinary ninja swords Kakashi used before, the Thunder God Sword is far superior.

It is more resilient, sharper, and can transmit the power of lightning.

However, in comparison with the Enma Staff and Zabuza's performance before and after, Kakashi realized what a truly powerful ninja sword was.

Kakashi had also felt how difficult Kiriichimonji was to deal with when he fought Kisame Hoshigaki before.

However, Kakashi didn't feel this deeply at that time.

At that time, Kakashi simply felt that Zanpakuto were indeed stronger than ordinary ninja swords.

Now, Kakashi realizes that Zanpakuto is not only stronger than ordinary ninja swords, but also far stronger than the Raijin Sword, a treasured ninja sword crafted by Konoha.

The red on Zabuza's body turned even redder.

The aroma was even stronger.

It was as if it had turned into real blood.

"Ding!"

The magic staff Yama and the Thor's sword clashed once again.

But this time, the situation is a little different.

The curvature of the staff Enma's blade exceeded Kakashi's expectations.

"Pfft!"

The tip of the blade pierced into Kakashi's body.

Kakashi quickly retreated.

The blade was pulled out of the wound.
