56: Kakashi's Power
Menma wanted to support him. But
after seeing the scene and the encounter with Zabuza just before, Menma knew
very well that if he intervened now, he would only add to the chaos. Unless the
Nine-Tails' chakra exploded, he would not even be qualified to touch Zabuza. It
was clear how vast the gap between them was.
'The gap is still very obvious...'
Menma thought to himself. Even though he had worked very hard over the past six
years, his growth in the ninja academy was still limited. How much stronger
could he get with just the most basic training? Ninjas still had to experience
collisions and fights repeatedly to grow rapidly.
'After I go back this time, I must
revise my previous training plan and task arrangements. It is best to let
Kakashi assign more tasks that give him the opportunity to practice in actual
combat!' Menma looked at Zabuza and Kakashi, who were already in the middle of
a fierce battle, with a hint of thoughtfulness in his eyes.
Even though he wasn't qualified to
participate in this level of battle now, it didn't mean he could completely
watch from the sidelines. As the battle continued, Zabuza was likely to be
forced to reveal a flaw. Menma sensed a slightly obscure chakra aura
reappearing nearby. The owner of this chakra aura was undoubtedly the young man
with the Ice Release kekkei genkai (氷遁血継限界) - Haku!
In the original story, Haku
pretended to be a hunter-nin from Kirigakure Village and used a fake death
technique to save Zabuza. Kakashi, possibly reaching his limit and worried
about Haku's strength, might have pretended not to know. But in this life, if
Zabuza dared to show his face, he wouldn't be allowed to leave! Although Haku
was strong, he was just an elite chunin for now. If they joined forces, they
could deal with him. As long as Kakashi could suppress Zabuza as in the
original story, or even more smoothly, they would succeed.
Menma watched another violent
collision take place.
"Boom!" Kakashi and Zabuza
burst out a wave of terrifying energy. They moved their positions
inadvertently, ready to act at any time, while Menma kept an eye on the
surroundings.
"Hiss... Phew... Haha, you are
indeed Hatake Kakashi, but today, I will decide this old man's fate!"
Zabuza exclaimed, forced to pull back, carrying his huge beheading sword. He
wore an excited smile, facing Kakashi who approached again.
"Uh-huh!" Zabuza formed
hand seals quickly. "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" (水遁・水龍弾の術,
Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu). A surging chakra spurted out, forming a huge water
dragon under Zabuza's control.
"Ouch!" The roaring giant
water dragon spread an awe-inspiring atmosphere. This was a technique that only
jonin had the strength to unleash. In the back, Sakura widened her eyes. For
Haruno Sakura, who had just graduated, this fighting scene was far beyond her
understanding.
Naruto and Sasuke, in the front,
also had solemn expressions. Especially Sasuke, who watched with a hint of awe
in his eyes, his hands clenched tightly. This kind of power was what he longed
for!
"Earth Release: Earth-Style
Wall!" (土遁・土流壁, Doton: Doryūheki) Kakashi formed hand seals. A huge wall
rose from the ground, precisely blocking the water dragon's path.
"Boom! Crash!" The power
was completely offset, and the water dragon hit the giant wall heavily,
collapsing and venting to both sides.
The next second, Kakashi formed
another seal. "Earth Release: Rock Thorn Technique!" (土遁・岩突きの術,
Doton: Iwa Tsuki no Jutsu). The ground cracked, and thorns of rock and earth
flew out at high speed towards Zabuza's position.
"!?" Zabuza's eyes
narrowed. "Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!" (水遁・大瀑布の術,
Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu). He released a large amount of chakra, summoning
huge waves that violently rose. The overwhelming tide covered a large area,
including Kakashi, Menma, Sasuke, and others.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The
fierce and surging waves swept towards them, swallowing the rock spikes that
had come suddenly. Even if it was a thick white fog blocking the view, the
power was enough to change the faces of the four in Team 7.
But for Kakashi, it was nothing at
all! "Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!" (土遁・土流壁, Doton: Doryūheki). Another huge
wall, even more exaggerated, jumped out from the ground, forming several huge
dog heads in a semi-circular posture, blocking the incoming waves.
