"You…"
Zabuza struggled, but there were too many ninja hounds. It was impossible for him to even move his feet. He had become a living target.
And inside the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals, after witnessing Sasuke shield him and get hit by countless senbon, finally becoming a porcupine, Naruto couldn't hold back any longer and exploded.
"SASUKE!"
Along with his heart-wrenching roar, a massive amount of chakra erupted madly from within Naruto's body. The ice-made senbon were all sent flying back.
Haku, seeing this, was astonished. "What is this? Is this also a Kekkei Genkai?" He was incomparably shocked. This power was too terrifying, far exceeding even Lord Zabuza's.
"ROAR!"
A fiery red aura had already appeared around Naruto's body. At the same time, his eyes had become slitted, and his teeth had become sharp.
"I will never forgive you for hurting Sasuke!"
Naruto had unleashed a portion of the Nine-Tails' power. The massive chakra was causing the ice mirrors to crack.
In the Multiverse Mission Group chat.
Diluc:What is this power? It looks very sinister.
Even though it was just through the live stream, the feeling it gave him was the same as a Delusion. Just looking at it gave one a sense of unease.
Yae Miko:The power of the Nine-Tails. According to Su Han's explanation, this little fellow has an extremely powerful nine-tailed fox sealed inside him. It's said that one blow from it can destroy mountains and easily change the terrain.
Jean:That strong? It can shatter mountains with one blow? I'm afraid that's even more terrifying than Stormterror.
Su Han:The Nine-Tails at its peak is indeed stronger than Stormterror! The current power is just a fraction of the Nine-Tails.
Ningguang:From what you're saying, it seems this world's level is very high. Can we let Beidou get some benefits later?
Since the world's level was high, they had to try their best to acquire things from it. This was the purpose of the group.
Lisa:I'm afraid that won't be easy. Since it's a high-level world, those powerful abilities must be controlled by some organization.
Su Han:That's right. But it's not as if there's no opportunity. Let's just watch for now.
In the video, Naruto's explosion of the Nine-Tails' power had shocked Haku.
It also surprised Beidou, who was in the shadows.
No wonder Su Han told me not to kill anyone. It seems this mission is indeed a bit interesting. Forget it, I should complete the mission as soon as possible, so as not to stir up any more trouble.
Just as Naruto made his move and sent Haku flying out of the ice mirrors, Beidou made her move!
BOOM! The ice crystal shattered!
Haku was sent flying back. He had failed. In the world of a ninja, a failed mission was equivalent to death.
Seeing the face that appeared after the mask shattered, Naruto also regained his clarity.
"How can it be you?!"
Before he could react, a strong wind flashed past his side.
"Who…"
Thwack.
Naruto didn't even see who it was before he was knocked unconscious.
Haku was also shocked by this. "May I ask who you are?"
"Cut the crap! If you want to live, come with me! If you don't want Zabuza to die, then come with me!" From a distance, she could already feel a large amount of the lightning element gathering. It seemed the battle over there had also reached its climax. She had to be quick.
"Yes!" Haku quickly nodded and followed her, rushing into the distance.
Within the thick mist, Kakashi Hatake was still explaining his technique.
"You always say that I just copy others' powers. Now do you see? This is a unique technique I created myself! Its name is: Raikiri!"
Lightning condensed in his hand, its dazzling light making Zabuza draw in a cold breath. Chakra is actually taking physical form in his hand! This technique is a fatal one.
"Zabuza, I'm sorry, but it's time for you to die."
The world of a ninja was cruel. A failed mission often meant death. Konoha also frequently lost people on missions.
The scorching thunder echoed through the mist as Kakashi charged towards his opponent's heart.
With just one light strike, he could kill him!
But at this moment, a figure landed in front of Zabuza.
A pitch-black blade directly blocked the Raikiri.
The clash of lightning and lightning erupted with a deafening sound.
"How can there be another enemy?!" Kakashi Hatake was incomparably shocked.
Of course, what shocked him most was the other party's strength. To be able to block his Raikiri with just a weapon meant that she possessed power as great as his own.
A female ninja with a lightning-style chakra?
Kakashi, seeing that the situation was not right, quickly retreated. His eyes were full of gravity, because the other party's blade did not have a single scratch on it. His Raikiri had been ineffective.
"Who are you? This is a Konoha mission! Please do not interfere!"
The other party had no village marking on her. She was using powerful physical techniques and a weapon, and she was not one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Who was this?
Kakashi racked his brain but found that no one matched the woman in front of him.
"Me? I am Beidou, from Liyue! I don't know anything about your 'Konoha.' My mission is to rescue these two. If you want to fight, I can spar with you."
Although she couldn't kill him, being able to fight with someone from another world was enough to make Beidou happy.
Kakashi's eyes were cold. He took out two kunai with explosive tags attached and threw them over.
The other party just casually swung her sword, and the two attacks were easily neutralized.
Beidou frowned, speechless. "Are you juggling? If you're going to attack, then hurry up. If not, then just leave."
Just now, she had been watching the two of them fight, and it had been quite exciting. How had he become a coward now? So boring.
But Kakashi had already made a judgment in his heart. The enemy's physical skills are very strong. I cannot engage in close-range combat.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"
After a series of quick hand seals, a giant water dragon shot straight for Beidou.
But a ninjutsu of this level couldn't trouble her at all. She cut the water dragon in two with a single slash.
However, after casting the jutsu, Kakashi Hatake did not continue to fight, but instead ran into the distance, because he saw that Haku had come over with Beidou, which meant that Sasuke and Naruto were probably in danger. Since that was the case, it was clearly irrational to continue fighting. Fleeing was the best choice.
And the battered and bruised Zabuza, looking at the fierce woman before him, was just about to say something when he was hit in the head with the flat of her blade and knocked out.
The nearby Haku was dumbfounded! Didn't you say you were here to save us? Why are you attacking Lord Zabuza?!
"Don't be an idiot. Grab your man, we have to go. For a stubborn guy like him, talking is useless. There are a lot of enemies outside this mist."
"Yes! Thank you, Lady Beidou!" Haku reacted, a look of gratitude on his face.
It's true. If it were Lord Zabuza, he would definitely have chosen to continue the attack because he had accepted someone else's mission. But if he's knocked out, he doesn't have to worry about these things.
The three of them, taking advantage of the fact that the mist had not yet dispersed, quickly retreated from the area.
And Kakashi, looking at his two unconscious students, also couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. At least there were no casualties. This was a blessing in disguise.
Sakura also quickly ran over. "Kakashi-sensei! How are Naruto and Sasuke?"
"Don't worry, they just fainted. It's a pity we couldn't kill those two from the Mist Village. Let's go for now. Otherwise, if that woman comes back, we might be in trouble," Kakashi said, pulling down his mask, his voice weary.
From the fact that the other party could block his Raikiri with a weapon, he judged that she was at least at the Jōnin level, and might even be stronger. This mission had already exceeded the limits of what he could complete. It was possible they would have to give up.
Beidou escorted the two of them, taking a small boat and leaving the Great Naruto Bridge.
An hour later, they finally arrived at a safe place, and Beidou received the mission completion notification.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the 4-star Multiverse Mission. You have received a mission reward of 100,000 points.]
[Hint: You may choose to return immediately or remain for a short while.]
[Note: The maximum time you can remain is one hour.]
"Mission complete. Next, let's see if I can get anything else."
Since the mission was done, Beidou was relieved. Now, it was time to see if she could dig up some of this world's cultivation methods or something.
At this time, Haku knelt on the ground and thanked Beidou. "Thank you for saving us, my lady."
"No need to thank me. If you really want to thank me, then just tell me all the ninjutsu you use. And I mean all of them."
"Ah?"
"What, you're not willing?" Beidou frowned. Am I dealing with an ingrate? I saved your life, and you're not even willing to teach me your techniques?
Haku quickly shook his head. "That's not it. My Ice Release is a Kekkei Genkai; other people can't use it."
"I don't care about that. You just need to hand over everything you've learned to me."
"Oh, okay, my lady."
For the next hour, Haku gave everything he had learned to her, and even included the ninjutsu scrolls from Zabuza's person.
The scene just now had been very dangerous. If not for her, perhaps he and Lord Zabuza would have both died in that place. After having been through a life-and-death situation, Haku suddenly realized that ninjutsu and the like were not important at all. What was more important was to live on with Lord Zabuza. Everything else was an external object.
Beidou looked at the recorded ninjutsu and nodded with satisfaction. "Alright, I should be going. Let me give you some advice: if you don't know what you want to do, how about you go out to sea and take a look? Maybe leaving this place would be for the best."
