Chapter 87 Instantly Kills Zabuza's Water Clone!

Sakura and the others had witnessed Zabuza's strength before. Even Kakashi, who had awakened his Sharingan, did not have much of an advantage when fighting him, and was even trapped by the Water Prison Technique.

Yang Cheng's ability to suppress his opponent with physical skills was something that none of the members of Class 7 had expected.

Before graduating from the Ninja Academy, Namino had said that she and Yoshinori had almost defeated her father, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Sakura always thought her best friend was just bragging.

But looking at the situation in front of her, Sakura realized that what Namino had said back then might actually be true.

Sakura knew perfectly well what level of skill her "plastic best friend" was. If Ino and the others had almost defeated her, Yamanaka Inoichi, then more than 90% of the credit would probably go to Yosei.

"Water Cloaking Technique, Part One!"

Zabuza, who needed to maintain the "Water Prison Technique" with one hand, finally used a ninjutsu when faced with Yang Cheng's continuous attacks. As two puddles of water slowly rose, two physical clones of Zabuza quickly appeared in front of Yang Cheng and the others.

Considering that Yang Cheng was no ordinary genin brat, Zabuza even went so far as to allocate a considerable amount of chakra to his water clone.

"It's quite unexpected that a genin kid from Konoha would possess such strength."

But the game should be nearing its end soon, because you'll soon understand what a true ninja is.

"A ninja who constantly teeters on the brink of life and death is fundamentally different from you brats who've just stepped out of a greenhouse and are playing ninja games."

"Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Technique!"

As Zabuza formed hand seals, a thick fog quickly enveloped the surroundings.

Among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, if we were to say who used Kirigakure's signature ninjutsu best, it would undoubtedly be Zabuza Momochi.

The Broken Blade - Executioner's Blade, among the seven ninja swords of Kirigakure, is probably second in size only to the Greatsword - Samehada.

Wielding such an exaggeratedly large sword, the attack method should have been more open and sweeping.

However, Zabuza can use the "Hidden Mist Technique" to assassinate his opponents silently every time.

This is Zabuza's most proficient method of assassination.

One - The Silent Murder Technique!

Seeing the thick fog rising around them, and Zabuza's water clone completely absorbed by the fog, Naruto and the others instantly became extremely vigilant.

The extremely low visibility of the dense fog, coupled with the assassins lurking within, could create immense psychological pressure for newly graduated genin, even without the enemy launching an attack.

"No, even my Sharingan can't see through this thick fog."

Naruto and Sasuke, who had already defeated the Hidden Mist Village's genin brothers, originally intended to go and help Yang Cheng.

But no one expected that just as they were about to make a move, a thick fog would rise up all around them.

Sasuke, who successfully awakened his bloodline limit and activated his Sharingan during the battle, originally intended to use the Sharingan to find Zabuza, who was hiding in the mist.

Unfortunately, the Sharingan's ability is to see through the flow of chakra, and the Hidden Mist Technique currently in use is Zabuza's chakra, so Sasuke has no way of knowing where the opponent is.

If it were the Byakugan, which can see through other people's meridians and acupoints, it should be able to find Zabuza in the Hidden Mist Technique at a glance.

However, if the Sharingan is used against the Hidden Mist Technique, a high-level Sharingan might be able to determine Zabuza's location by observing the density of chakra flow.

However, it is obvious that Sasuke, who has only just awakened one tomoe, is far from reaching this level.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding!"

Hearing the occasional sounds of weapons clashing in the thick fog, Naruto and Sasuke, unable to find a way to deal with the situation, had no choice but to temporarily return to Sakura's side.

However, to their surprise, just as they found Sakura and the others in the thick fog, they saw a figure slowly emerge from the fog and appear silently behind them.

Sakura and the others were completely unaware that Zabuza had appeared behind them.

"Sakura, he's behind you!"

"Damn it, am I already too late?!"

Seeing Zabuza gripping the Executioner's Blade in both hands and turning his body to cut the three Konoha genin, along with their target Tazuna, in half at the waist, Naruto and Sasuke felt as if their hearts were about to break apart.

However, given their current distance, they simply don't have enough time to reach Sakura and the others.

Because of Naruto and the others' reminder, Sakura and the others turned around at that moment, but it was obviously too late.

Faced with the decapitation blade sweeping towards them, they had no ability to dodge or defend themselves.

But just as the blade of the Executioner's Blade was only centimeters away from Sakura's face, it suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Seeing the blade so close to her, Sakura was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.

At the same moment, Naruto and Sasuke arrived at Sakura's side, while Ai-Ling and Luo Chuanwu quickly covered Tazuna's retreat.

As for why Zabuza suddenly stopped, it was not because he suddenly took pity on him, but because his body was simply unable to move at that moment.

A colorful snake coiled around his body from behind and locked his joints tightly.

"You're not the only one who can use the physical clone technique."

Seeing Yang Cheng emerge from behind him, Zabuza's face turned ugly, because he realized that he was still the Konoha brat in front of him.

The opponent is not only skilled in taijutsu, but also proficient in ninjutsu. In terms of combat experience, he doesn't seem like a recent genin kid at all.

The other party actually anticipated his actions and knew that he would choose to strike the target first.

"Dark Claws—!"

With one hand, Yang Cheng used Shadow Step to trap Zabuza's clone, and quickly extended his other hand, curling his fingers into a claw, which pierced directly through the opponent's heart.

Zabuza, who had been pierced through the chest by Yang Cheng, quickly turned into a puddle of water and fell directly to the ground.

Naruto and his two companions were still in a daze as they watched Yang Cheng, who had effortlessly defeated Zabuza's water clone.

Ling and Wu, who were on the same team as Yang Cheng, seemed unsurprised. After spending more than a month together, they had come to understand Yang Cheng's abnormality and knew that he could not be judged by the standards of a normal genin.

"Yang Cheng, thank you for saving me just now."

Having just escaped death, Sakura, after finally recovering, quickly thanked Yoshinori.

If Yang Cheng hadn't come to her rescue, Xiaoying couldn't even imagine whether she would still be standing here speaking.

"No need to thank me. Not to mention we're all from the same village, you're Ino's good friend, so I could never just stand by and watch you die."

Hearing Yang Cheng's words, Sakura felt incredibly envious of her best friend. She wished Sasuke could talk to Ino like that.
