117: Chapter 117 Dense Fog! A Rapidly Deteriorating Battle SituationSeeing this, Kakashi immediately whispered to Sakura, "Sakura!Protect Mr.Tazuna!"
He then looked at the center of the battle between Sasuke and Haku, his tone filled with trust for his disciple, "Leave that guy to Sasuke!"
The clanging and clashing of metal was incessant!
Sasuke and Haku exchanged several more fierce blows in close combat.
Haku's figure moved like a butterfly flitting among flowers, while Sasuke resembled an enraged black panther.The two separated again, briefly confronting each other in the pervasive mist.
Bai spoke first, his voice coming through the mask with a barely perceptible sigh: "Although.I don't really want to kill you."
Sasuke snorted coldly, wiping away the tiny bloodstains on his cheek from the senbon needles, his eyes sharp as knives:
"Don't talk nonsense!What do you mean by wanting to kill me?Do you think you can do anything to me?"
"Heh," Bai chuckled, his voice still gentle, yet carrying a powerful confidence, "However.from now on.you won't be able to keep up with my speed, and."
Before he finished speaking, Bai's right hand began to move with a dazzling speed and in an unbelievable way!
One-handed hand seal!
"What?" Kakashi and Sasuke exclaimed in shock at the same time!
Their eyes were filled with disbelief!A hand seal formed with just one hand!Just how precise must one's chakra manipulation be?
"Ice Release Secret Technique: Demonic Mirror Ice Crystal!"
"Snap!Snap!Snap—!"
A sickening freezing sound rang out instantly!
Centered on Sasuke, dozens of massive, smooth, mirror-like, and crystal-clear ice walls, like tombstones rising from hell, materialized out of thin air and rose from the ground!
They formed a huge, airtight octagonal ice crystal cage, trapping Sasuke in the center!
The cold, smooth ice surface reflected the pale light and Sasuke's astonished face, as if countless cold eyes were staring at him!
What made Sasuke's heart stop even more was that Haku's body seemed to melt away, gracefully merging into one of the ice mirrors!
Immediately, each ice mirror clearly reflected Bai's posture of holding a thousand books, poised to strike!
With dozens of "white" characters existing simultaneously, it's impossible to distinguish between the real and fake ones!
"What.what kind of ninjutsu is this?"
Sasuke's internal alarm bells rang wildly, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back!
His palms, drenched in sweat, gripped the kunai.He warily surveyed the countless white reflections around him, each radiating genuine killing intent!
Inside and outside the ice crystal cage, there was utter silence.
Only Sasuke's heavy breathing echoed in the cramped space.The icy air seemed to freeze his blood and his thoughts.
"I should.get more serious."
Countless white voices came from all directions, cold and ethereal, "Let me show you.my true speed."
Before the words were even finished—"Whoosh—!"
A fleeting afterimage!
It was faster than Sasuke's eyes could perceive!He only felt the ice mirror on the side flash slightly before an incredibly sharp pain shot through his arm!
"Pfft!" A spurt of blood shot out!
"Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh—!"
The attacks descended like a torrential downpour of light!Truly impossible to defend against!From all directions, at every angle, every ice mirror was both the beginning and the end of the white attack!
His figure darted and refracted between the ice mirrors at the speed of light!Each flash was accompanied by the sharp sound of thousands of books being torn apart and the faint sound of flesh being pierced!
Sasuke desperately swung his kunai to block and dodge!
However, it was too fast!It was too intense!He could only put up a futile resistance with his beast-like instincts and bursts of chakra!
"Puff puff puff puff—!"
Tiny streaks of blood kept exploding all over his body!Arms, shoulders, thighs, cheeks.fine wounds quickly covered his entire body!
His white coat was quickly stained crimson with blood!A wave of excruciating pain washed over him!He was like a moth trapped in a spider's web, being relentlessly torn apart by countless tiny, poisonous needles!
"Sasuke—!"
Outside the icy cage, Sakura's eyes widened in horror as she watched Sasuke instantly turn into a blood-soaked mess, letting out a piercing scream!
Damn it!
Kakashi's expression changed drastically, and he instantly understood the terrifying nature of this secret technique!Without hesitation, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and rushed straight towards the ice crystal cage, attempting to break it by force!
"Your opponent.shouldn't be me, Kakashi?"
Zabuza's towering figure appeared like a ghost in front of Kakashi, his long sword sweeping across with a chilling killing intent!Kakashi was forced to stop and swung his kunai to block!
Clang—!Sparks flew everywhere!
"Since Bai has already used that secret technique."
Zabuza's voice was cold and ruthless, full of confidence: "That brat.is doomed."
He glanced at the figure inside the ice crystal cage, which resembled a blood gourd, but his eyes remained completely unmoved.
Seeing Sasuke struggling against the onslaught of White's attacks, on the verge of collapse, Kakashi was extremely anxious!
His left Sharingan instantly activated, the three tomoe spinning wildly!Powerful ocular energy was poised to be unleashed!
"Hmph!How naive!"
Zabuza let out a sneer, and his movements became even faster!
The moment Kakashi removed his headband, Zabuza was already right in front of him, his sharp blade like a leech, precisely interrupting Kakashi's movements!
"Ugh!" Kakashi was forced to retreat, his eyes serious.
"Now that we already know your name, 'Copy Ninja' Sharingan Kakashi."
Zabuza grinned maliciously, forming hand seals once more."You think.I'd be completely unprepared?"
"Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique - Dense Fog Lockdown!"
"call--!"
Zabuza spewed out a massive amount of chakra vapor from his mouth!
In an instant, the fog surrounding Kakashi, Sakura, and Tazuna became extremely thick, to the point where they couldn't see their own hands in front of their faces!
Even with Kakashi's powerful Sharingan, his field of vision was compressed to its limit.All that could be seen was a swirling expanse of milky white, and even Sakura and Tazuna, who were right in front of him, became blurry!
"Oh no!"
Kakashi's heart sank!In this level of visibility, the Sharingan's advantage in perception was completely negated!
What puzzled Kakashi even more was that even a Hidden Mist Ninja who was proficient in the Hidden Mist Technique should not be able to see clearly in such an extremely dense fog!
What should Zabuza do next?
Just then, an extremely faint sound of air tearing came from the left!
With his honed fighting instincts, Kakashi instantly sidestepped and blocked!"Clang!" The kunai blocked Zabuza's silent, slashing longsword!
Through the gaps in the thick fog, Kakashi was shocked to discover that Zabuza's cold eyes were actually closed!
Are you surprised?
Zabuza seemed to have guessed Kakashi's doubts.His voice, like a ghost, drifted through the thick fog, carrying a naked mockery, "Can't see anymore?The moment I closed my eyes."
