In Konoha, at the start, Hinata was given the Tenseigan.

Therefore, in order to break free from Cado's economic blockade and enable people to become wealthy.

Bridge expert Dazner is leading the villagers in building a bridge that connects them to the outside world.

Once the bridge is completed, it will break Cado's maritime blockade.

This will inevitably be met with Kado's full resistance.

By sailing a small sailboat along a secret waterway with many reefs, they secretly arrived at the Land of Waves.

In order to get everyone's help, Tazner finally told the truth.

The group was making their way to Tazna's house along the gravel path through the woods.

This area is already under the control of Kado.

As a result, everyone became much more vigilant, and Hinata even quietly activated her Byakugan.

Just as the group walked past several towering trees...

Hinata was the first to speak up: "Everyone be careful, someone is rushing towards us from the upper right corner."

"He's a ninja, and his chakra is enormous, much stronger than the two we encountered before."

Hinata looked surprised, but she wasn't flustered inside.

Because in terms of chakra alone, he's far inferior to Natsuki-kun.

Even Teacher Hong can't compare.

She was unaware that this was because Kurenai Yuhi had doubled her chakra after consuming the five magical beast cores given to her by Natsuki.

In her eyes, Xia Mu was the strongest, and everyone else unconsciously became a unit of measurement.

Sulfone sulfone sulfone!

A chilling sound of wind being cut rang out, and a decapitation blade spun rapidly through the dense forest.

Thump! Thump!

Because everyone was on guard, no one was hit.

The broadsword slashed fiercely into the tree trunk, and a figure descended from the sky, about to land directly on the decapitating blade.

It doesn't matter if you don't manage to cut anyone, you just have to make a grand entrance.

"What a fine knife!"

Xia Mu's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand to activate the gravity of his Tenseigan.

laugh! ! !

The decapitation blade detached from the tree trunk and landed in Xia Mu's hand.

"What?! My sword!" Zabuza's eyes bulged out!

He landed just then, only to miss his footing. Seeing this bizarre scene, his mind raced, and he stumbled, falling headfirst from mid-air.

"boom!!!"

I tripped and fell flat on my face!

"Mr. Zabuza!"

The white foliage hidden in the distant treetops obscured my vision...

095: You're just a tool to me!

"Are you... are you sure this guy is stronger than the previous two?"

Tazuna and Kiba couldn't help but cast questioning glances at Hinata.

"Well, if we're just talking about chakra, that's true."

Hinata was also confused.

Looking at Zabuza's head stuck in the ground, his limbs trembling slightly as he stood upside down in the air like a toad.

Is this kind of stupid entrance really the work of a powerful ninja?

Everyone selectively ignored the fact that Xia Muka had taken away his sword as a stepping stone.

After all, if he wasn't trying to show off, a normal ninja could stand up even if he stepped on a tree trunk instead of a regular support.

"Be careful, this ninja might actually be someone special."

Kurenai Yuhi's gaze fell on the Executioner's Blade in Natsuki's hand. As a Jonin, she undoubtedly had far more information and experience than these recent graduates.

It was immediately recognizable as the signature weapon of Zabuza Momochi, nicknamed "Demon," one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

A decapitation sword!

"Hmph! Whether it's simple or not, you'll know once you try it."

"Akamaru! Bite him, ding ding!"

Kiba Inuzuka waved and shouted, while rushing forward himself.

At this moment, Zabuza was still planted in the ground, trying his best to pull his head out by supporting himself with his hands.

"Woof!!!"

Akamaru glanced at Agumon next to Natsuki, then excitedly bit Zabuza.

If Agumon can defeat an enemy, then Akamaru should not be underestimated.

Click!

That bite landed squarely on Zabuza's groin.

"Um!!!"

Zabuza's despairing groan came from underground.

"Tch, so weak."

As soon as Kiba Inuzuka finished speaking, the "upside-down" scene in front of him turned into a pool of 350 puddlees of wastewater.

"Be careful, this is a water clone."

Kurenai quickly reminded him, while also drawing her weapon and becoming alert.

It wasn't that simple after all.

At the same time, a thick, oppressive fog gradually rose from the dense forest.

"Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique!"

The cold voice seemed to drift in from all directions.

"Konoha ninja, hand over that old man. And of course, my Executioner's Blade."

"In that case, I can let you leave safely."

A figure emerged from the thick fog.

A bare-chested man with black hair, wearing a fog-shadow headband at an angle, and with his entire body below the nose wrapped in bandages.

Zabuza escaped death by using his water clone technique.

However, the loss of his decapitation sword made his overall image less imposing.

But his tone remained incredibly arrogant, showing no regard for this group of Konoha ninjas.

After all, he knew all the famous Konoha Jonin, even as a rogue ninja, but he didn't have any information about this group.

Kurenai Yuhi was just a rookie who had recently become a Jonin and had not yet made a name for herself in the ninja world.

"This knife is quite nice; it seems to have the ability to self-repair, so I'll reluctantly accept it."

"As a Dimensional Lord, it is your honor that your sword has caught my eye."

"You may kneel down and leave. We'll let bygones be bygones on your crime of cutting down trees and harming the flowers and plants."

Xia Mu brandished his decapitation sword and said with an air of matter-of-fact composure.

"you……"

"I haven't seen such an arrogant person in a long time."

　(bfee) "My title of Hidden Mist Demon is really not impressive enough. Any random young upstart can look down on me."

"It seems you won't leave unless I teach you a lesson."

Zabuza's forehead veins bulged as he gradually retreated into the thick fog.

"Then let me see just how much arrogance you have. Let me show you what the Mist Shadow Ghost truly is!"

The sound came from all directions, shifting from left to right.

"Throat, lungs, liver, carotid artery, heart... these are the most vulnerable parts of the human body... Have you thought about how you want to die?"

Xia Mu remained unmoved and even yawned.

This only fueled Zabuza's anger, which was hidden in the shadows, making him seethe with rage.

That's too arrogant, too arrogant.
