Chapter 74: I'm here to kill not to save

Akihara Kagura speaks somewhat crudely.

"What's with this kid? Can't a man cover his face simply because he's too handsome and doesn't want to draw attention?"

Hatake Kakashi didn't bother to respond, merely following the direction of Akihara Kagura's pointing finger, he saw another man with his face covered in bandages...

"Be careful!"

Hatake Kakashi instinctively uttered a warning!

Even though the bandaged man only revealed half of his face, the murderous intent in his eyes couldn't be concealed. He was an assassin!

"Tch... Discovered, huh?"

Momochi Zabuza chuckled coldly, carelessly removing his disguised clothing, and drawing his ninja sword with a flip of his hand, he coldly continued, "But it doesn't matter, I don't need any disguise when I kill..."

"Zabuza!"

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, watched Momochi Zabuza, and commanded sternly, "As the Mizukage, I order you not to rescue me anymore. Leave this place immediately!"

"Shut up! So annoying!"

Momochi Zabuza glanced at the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, no longer hiding his disdain, "Yagura, a Mizukage captured as a prisoner, doesn't have any right to order me!"

"You!"

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, felt that this man was ungrateful.

"Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique!"

Momochi Zabuza swiftly raised his fingers!

Suddenly, a fog rose on the deck, and the figure of Momochi Zabuza slowly disappeared into the mist, as if he had completely become invisible!

"Tch, the same trick again..."

Akihara Kagura shook his head, speaking leisurely, "This guy named Zabuza seems tough to deal with. I think we should leave it to Captain Kakashi. I don't think I can take him..."

"..."

Hatake Kakashi was somewhat speechless.

What is this kid talking about?

(TL: Everyone need a screen time)

Can this Mist ninja be stronger than the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura? You, a kid, can even defeat the Three-Tails in the sea, let alone an ordinary Mist ninja.

"Alright, you two take care of yourselves!"

Hatake Kakashi reluctantly pulled off his forehead protector, revealing his Sharingan with three tomoe: "This place isn't absolutely safe, like being on top of the Wooden Dragon. The enemy could launch a surprise attack in this confined space at any moment..."

"The enemy's goal must be to rescue the Mizukage..."

Uchiha Itachi revealed his Sharingan, tightly holding a ninja sword, and moved next to the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, vigilantly surveying the surrounding mist.

"Don't worry, Captain Kakashi, we'll be on guard and won't let the enemy have a chance to rescue the Mizukage."

Clang!

A ninja sword slashed towards Itachi!

Itachi parried the stealth attack with his sword, the sound of metal clashing distinctly resonating through the mist!

"Got you!"

Itachi's eyes firmly fixed on the attacker, Momochi Zabuza, swinging his sword to meet him head-on in a fierce battle!

"Sharingan..."

As Momochi Zabuza fended off Itachi's attacks with his sword, he scoffed, "I was wondering how a Konoha kid could have such proficient swordsmanship. Turns out it's a ninja from the Uchiha clan..."

Momochi Zabuza swiftly raised his sword to strike at Itachi, hitting Itachi's sword, and then used the momentum to retreat back into the mist!

Momochi Zabuza, fully aware of the essence of being an assassin, knew that if the first strike missed, he must immediately withdraw, unable to entangle further with Itachi!

"You can't escape!"

Itachi's hands flashed with four shuriken, throwing them in the direction Momochi Zabuza disappeared. After three misses, one hit its target with a thud.

Drip, drip.

The sound of blood dripping to the ground was clear.

Momochi Zabuza hurriedly pulled out the shuriken embedded in his arm, hastily wrapped the wound on his neck with a bandage, fearful of more blood dripping.

But it was already too late!

Hatake Kakashi immediately pinpointed Momochi Zabuza's location!

"Water Release: Water Clone!"

In the instant that Momochi Zabuza swiftly cast a water clone, leaving it behind as a decoy to lure Hatake Kakashi, his real body once again vanished into the mist!

"What a nuisance..."

Hidden in the mist, Momochi Zabuza felt troubled. Just dealing with that Uchiha kid was problematic enough, let alone the famous Hatake Kakashi, and another unknown Konoha ninja... That kid must be the most troublesome, the Wood Release ninja!

"But still..."

Momochi Zabuza thought about his plan, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes: "I don't need to be so cautious, my goal is not to rescue that useless Yagura!"

"Water Release: Water Clone!"

Momochi Zabuza created another water clone.

In this battle, he had to fight alone against three people. One water clone was used to attract Hatake Kakashi, and another to lure the Uchiha Itachi kid!

The next moment!

The mist grew thicker.

Momochi Zabuza's real body disappeared into the mist in an instant!

This was Momochi Zabuza's ultimate technique for killing, allowing him to move at high speeds in the mist, making him unpredictably lethal!

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, was still frustrated by Momochi Zabuza's disobedience. Glancing at the vines on his body, then at Uchiha Itachi and Akihara Kagura beside him, he knew that whatever Momochi Zabuza was doing would be in vain.

"You must be troubled by this guy named Momochi Zabuza, right?"

Akihara Kagura looked at the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, and smilingly said, "His attitude of trying to save you against orders must be touching, right? Let's make a deal, I can spare his life."

"What do you want?"

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, was somewhat puzzled.

"Anything."

"Preferably some unique ninja techniques."

Akihara Kagura, with a friendly smile, as if extremely benign, said: "The Mizukage wouldn't want to see a Mist ninja who is so determined to save you die, right?"

"..."

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, slowly nodded his head.

A flash of a blade!

The figure of Momochi Zabuza appeared once again!

This guy, using a water clone to distract Hatake Kakashi's attention, had his real body appear here, posing as if he was determined to rescue the Fourth Mizukage from this squad!

Clang!

Uchiha Itachi still flawlessly blocked his attack.

Although Itachi was only ten years old, his proficiency in the Sharingan and Uchiha swordsmanship made him an insurmountable line of defense!

"No, this force..."

When Itachi received the strike, his Sharingan intensely focused on Momochi Zabuza: "This is a water clone!"

Itachi sharply turned his head towards the direction of the Fourth Mizukage Yagura and Akihara Kagura. He saw the real body of Momochi Zabuza approaching them!

"Be careful!"

"..."

Akihara Kagura stood beside the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, drawing his own ninja sword, seemingly ready to step forward to block Momochi Zabuza.

"Don't get in the way!"

Momochi Zabuza quickly forced Akihara Kagura back with a few strikes!

This kid's swordsmanship is so weak, easily repelled by him, not even comparable to Uchiha Itachi!

Momochi Zabuza was now just a step away from the Fourth Mizukage Yagura. The Konoha ninjas seemed worried that Yagura might erupt in violence, even binding the Mizukage tightly with vines.

This means...

The current Yagura had no chance of resistance!

Momochi Zabuza's breathing grew heavier, he actually raised his ninja sword towards Yagura's throat, intending to kill his own Mizukage!

The vines binding Yagura instantly grew, wrapping around his body, causing Momochi Zabuza's ninja sword to only strike the vines!

"You want to assassinate the Mizukage..."

Akihara Kagura stepped out, still in his leisurely manner, trying hard to look shocked: "I just made a deal with the Mizukage. As long as I agree to spare your life, he will give me some unique ninjutsu. I wonder if your Mizukage will honor the deal and be willing to save a traitor"
