I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

Sasuke and Naruto noticed the commotion behind them, and Shigure slowly turned around as well.

Tazuna silently swallowed, watching Shigure wield a weapon taller than himself, yet appearing to handle it with effortless ease.

He was internally screaming, "Just how powerful is this kid?!"

'With such great strength, it's a shame he doesn't go out and work as a construction worker... If all else fails, helping him repair the bridge would be a good option too!'

"Was it you who threw the knife?"

Shigure looked at the appearing Zabuza Momochi, although his real appearance was somewhat different from that in the anime.

But the basic shape is exactly the same, without any changes!

"Hey kid... what's your name?"

Zabuza Momochi's cold voice rang out, the murderous aura emanating from it sending chills down everyone's spine.

Sasuke and Naruto immediately felt immense pressure.

Cold sweat even broke out on my forehead involuntarily.

However, Shigure remained indifferent, even showing signs of anger.

"So you're the one who threw the ninja sword at me?"

Upon hearing Shigure's question, Zabuza felt a tightness in his chest!

Is there something wrong with this kid's head?

Can't they realize they're here to kill them?

"Yes! So what?"

Swish! ! !

In an instant, a dark shadow flashed past.

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Zabuza's forehead as he slowly looked to his right.

The large tree beside him was suddenly cut in half.

boom! ! ! !

The tree slowly collapsed, and Zabuza's guillotine blade was stuck in the ground five meters behind him.

"you……"

Zabuza never expected that this seemingly thin and weak brat would have such amazing strength.

The strength with which he caught the guillotine he had thrown with just one hand was something that no ordinary genin possessed.

"Who are you exactly?"

"Konoha Genin, Gekko Shigure!"

I've never heard of Zabuza before.

But judging from Shigure's aura, he doesn't seem like a genin at all!

"Interesting, a kid your age actually possesses such great power!"

"Very good! Today, I, Zabuza Momochi, the Demon King of Kirigakure, will take your life!"

To take one's own life?

What a loud tone!

"Shigure!"

Naruto moved closer to Shigure, saying, "Let's attack together! Don't go alone! This guy looks strong!"

powerful!

Of course he's strong. This is Zabuza Momochi, the one who almost caused Kakashi to suffer a setback.

However, having Naruto and Sasuke take action would actually make things worse.

Shi Yu shook her head. "No, leave it to me. This is not an enemy you can handle!"

After saying that, Shigure strode towards Zabuza's direction.

At that moment, Naruto wanted to step forward, but a hand blocked him from behind.

"This enemy is definitely not someone the two of you can handle right now!"

That voice belongs to Kakashi.

Naruto turned around and saw Kakashi appear. "Kakashi-sensei, who is this guy?"

"They just said that Momochi Zabuza, the Demon of the Mist, is an elite Jonin of the Mist Village and one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!"

Sasuke frowned. "The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?"

"Ah! That's right, an elite assassination squad directly under the Kage. And this guy in front of me killed all his fellow examinees when he was a genin. His strength as a chunin is not to be underestimated!"

As he spoke, Kakashi's gaze also became serious.

"Even for me, defeating him wouldn't be easy!"

Hearing this, Naruto panicked, "Then why aren't you doing anything, Kakashi-sensei, leaving Shigure all alone..."

"This mission is a test for you. I've said before that I will only take action if your lives are in danger or you are already dead!"

Naruto gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly!

Chapter 80 Decapitation Blade VS Black Blade Zangetsu

Naruto now feels like he's completely useless.

Even though they encountered an enemy, they could only send Shigure to fight alone.

Sasuke, standing nearby, felt the same way, feeling incredibly frustrated and helpless.

Shigure walked towards Zabuza, gazing at Zabuza who had once again raised his Executioner's Blade.

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist - Zabuza Momochi!"

Zabuza, carrying his Executioner's Blade, coldly stared at Shigure. "You know who I am?"

"Of course, I've heard of such a prestigious name!"

"Very well! It's your honor to die by my hand!"

As he spoke, Zabuza noticed the ninja sword behind Shigure. "Whoa!"

"It seems you're also a ninja who knows swordsmanship!"

"Alright, then I'll show you just how terrifying Kirigakure's swordsmanship is!"

To test one's swordsmanship against oneself?

Shigure grabbed the black sword Zangetsu from behind his waist with a backhand, clang!

Pull it out instantly!

The appearance of the black blade startled Zabuza slightly.

"A black knife? Such a knife is not commonly seen!"

"Zangetsu!"

Shigure spoke coldly, while gently raising the Zanjutsu in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Zabuza smiled. "The Executioner's Blade!"

Exchanging the names of their ninja swords is the standard procedure for a sword duel!

The two gazed at each other, and suddenly...

Two strong gusts of wind spread out at the same time, and Shigure and Zabuza rushed out at the same time.

They sped towards each other.

The Moon-Slaying Blade and the Decapitation Blade collided violently in the next second.

Clang! ! !

Zizizi! !

Sparks flew as the blades clashed, accompanied by a powerful storm that swept outwards.

Zabuza's wielding of the large sword gave him an advantage due to the weight of the blade itself, and considering his age, he also had an absolute advantage in strength.

Even a sword duel is not suitable for a head-on collision with Zabuza.

However, to Kakashi's astonishment, Shigure chose the most forceful method.

It's a head-on collision.

The black sword Zangetsu in Shigure's hand was far too slender compared to the Executioner's Blade.

But when the two collided, everyone was shocked.

Shigure's Zangetsu, held in one hand, actually withstood Zabuza's frontal slash, which was being pressed down with both hands.

Sparks flew continuously from the friction between the blades.
