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

"Why would I give up being a proper Konoha genin to become a rogue ninja with you?"

One sentence made Zabuza, who was in a good mood, turn his face dark.

Zabuza's cold gaze swept across Shigure's face. "Kid, although your swordsmanship is amazing, I admit that I am no match for you in swordsmanship! But in ninja battles, what truly matters is not swordsmanship!"

Kakashi sighed softly, "This is going to be tough for Shigure!"

"Why? Didn't Shigure easily suppress that guy? He even injured him directly. I don't think this guy is that powerful!"

Naruto seemed to think that Zabuza wasn't strong.

Hearing Naruto's words, Kakashi shook his head. "No, it was just because Zabuza wanted to duel Shigure with swordsmanship, but he didn't know that Shigure's swordsmanship talent was terrifyingly powerful. To compete with Shigure in swordsmanship is just courting death!"

"And now, he clearly no longer intends to merely compete with Shigure in swordsmanship!"

"The most powerful force of a ninja is still ninjutsu!"

"Shigure's swordsmanship is powerful, but to a ninja, he's just like a ninja with strong taijutsu. To deal with such an enemy, ninjutsu is the best method, and also the method that makes taijutsu ninjas helpless!"

Sasuke understood somewhat. "Kakashi-sensei, you mean that Zabuza is going to use ninjutsu next, and once he uses ninjutsu, Shigure might not be able to maintain the advantage!"

Hearing this, Kakashi nodded. "That's right!"

"Although Shigure is very strong, he is still a genin after all. The number of ninjutsu he can master is limited. If he faces an elite jonin-level opponent, the situation will not be good!"

Sasuke chimed in, "Indeed!"

Naruto, standing to the side, was somewhat confused as to why the two of them thought that way.

Shigure probably knows quite a few ninjutsu too!

Back in Konoha, when Shigure was teaching me the Rasengan, he was still developing other ninjutsu!

Does this guy lack ninjutsu?

"However, Shigure also possesses the art of sword-escape, which might allow him to counter Zabuza's ninjutsu, but..."

Kakashi then thought of a question.

Zabuza Momochi is most skilled at assassination; his silent assassination technique is a truly terrifying skill.

"Escape - Mist Concealment Technique!"

As Zabuza began forming hand seals to unleash his ninjutsu, Kakashi quickly instructed Sasuke and Naruto, "Stay close together and protect Tazuna. I won't intervene until the very last moment, so be careful!"

This wasn't probably said to the two of them...

As the fog rose.

A smile appeared on Shi Yu's lips.

That's right, Zabuza has given me a new ninjutsu!

very good!

"Kid, now I'll show you my silent killing technique."

As the fog thickened, visibility was further reduced.

It was practically pitch black; the thick fog made everything around us completely invisible.

It is impossible to observe the enemy in the thick fog with the naked eye alone.

Unless one possesses a dojutsu bloodline limit, they can only offer some resistance, but unfortunately, Shigure does not have a dojutsu bloodline limit.

However, he doesn't have any eye techniques, but Shigure does have skills!

'Thinking Acceleration Activated!'

In an instant, Shigure reopened his eyes, and in that instant, not only was his perception enhanced, but all five senses were also completely amplified.

No subtle change escapes Shigure's notice.

"Kid, which part of your body do you want me to start with?"

Zabuza's voice seemed to come from all directions, but Shigure still didn't make a move.

He simply held the Zanpakuto in his hands, silently sensing the changes around him.

"Heh! Too scared to move, are you?"

"Simply being good at swordsmanship won't get you far on the path of Ninja 4.4. Follow me, and I can make you stronger!"

Shi Yu pouted helplessly, "Aren't you annoying? Are you still going to fight or not!"

"Okay! As you wish!"

The decapitation sword, silent and colorless, pierced through the thick fog and appeared behind Shigure at some unknown time.

It slammed down directly onto Shigure's back.

Zabuza sneered, "If you've damaged my Executioner's Blade, then you'll repair it with your blood!"

Clang~~~

The exploding sparks startled Zabuza.

"impossible!!!!"

He watched as Shigure reacted instantly, raising his ninja sword to block his attack.

How could he possibly have noticed my attack?

Do not!

This is impossible!

How could my silent killing technique possibly be detected?

Chapter 82 The Vanishing Shigure: The True Silent Murder

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Zabuza quickly retreated and disappeared back into the thick fog.

Zabuza Momochi combined his Hidden Mist Technique with his Silent Killing Technique, concentrating a large amount of chakra throughout his body, emitting a blood-red glow.

Once this technique is used, it allows one to move silently through dense fog at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, due to the release of chakra, the power will also be greatly enhanced.

Zabuza Momochi's reputation as the Hidden Mist Demon was built upon the combination of these two techniques, which allowed him to leave a significant mark on the ninja world.

"How did you find me?"

Zabuza asked, looking quite puzzled, through the fog.

Shi Yu smiled faintly and said, "Guess!"

Guess?

If I could guess, would I even be asking you?

Zabuza gripped his Executioner's Blade tightly. If he couldn't even take down a mere Konoha genin today, he could basically give up on living in the ninja world altogether.

The mighty Kirigakure Demon King can't even handle a Konoha genin?

"Hmph! No matter what tricks you're playing, I don't believe you can be so lucky every time. Let's see how long you can stay arrogant!"

Zabuza's voice disappeared, the next second.

Dang! !

Dang! ! !

Ding ding! !

Zabuza continued to move at high speed through the dense fog.

Constantly changing its position, it launched attacks on Shigure.

However, without exception, they were all easily blocked by Shigure.

With the enhancement of the Silent Killing Technique, Zabuza's power also increased significantly, making him almost on par with Shigure.

However, no matter how silent or secretive his attacks were, Shigure could easily sense and block them.

Listening to the sounds coming from the thick fog.
