The mist, a swirling, opaque shroud, descended upon the shoreline, obscuring everything in a chilling, ethereal veil. From the depths of the water, a figure emerged, his form a dark silhouette against the swirling mist. Zabuza Momochi, the Demon of the Hidden Mist, had arrived.
"Well, well," Zabuza's voice echoed through the mist, a low, menacing growl. "If it isn't Kakashi Hatake, the Copy Ninja."
Kakashi, his single visible eye narrowed, but quickly prepared for the onslaught. "Zabuza Momochi," he retorted, his voice sharp. "The Demon of the Hidden Mist."
'Why do they have to do this in such a comic book way?' Sasuke inwardly sneered, his Sharingan blazing as he analyzed Zabuza's movements. 'Just fight already.'
Sakura, her eyes wide with fear, instinctively moved to protect Tazuna, placing herself between the bridge builder and the encroaching mist. "Stay back, Tazuna-san," she commanded, her voice trembling slightly. "We'll protect you."
Naruto quickly try to make some hand signs.
"Stay back, Naruto," Sasuke commanded, his voice sharp and clear. "This is Kakashi-sensei's fight."
Naruto wants to argued but thinking of situation choose otherwise.
Kakashi quickly remove his headband from his other eye & revealed his Sharingan with 3-Tomoe.
"Oh! The legendary Sharingan" Zabuza said.
Zabuza, with a swift, fluid motion, drew his massive Kubikiribocho, the Executioner's Blade, its surface reflecting the swirling mist. He lunged, his movements powerful and precise, the blade arcing through the air with deadly intent.
Kakashi, his Sharingan active, met the attack with his own kunai, the clash sending sparks flying. He moved with a practiced grace, his movements fluid and unpredictable, deflecting Zabuza's powerful strikes.
The fight became a dance of blades, a whirlwind of motion and skill. Zabuza, his raw power and experience evident in every strike, pressed Kakashi relentlessly, the Executioner's Blade a constant threat.
Kakashi, his Sharingan allowing him to anticipate Zabuza's movements, countered with precision and agility, his kunai flashing like lightning. He used the mist to his advantage, disappearing and reappearing, disorienting Zabuza.
"You're quick," Zabuza growled, his voice laced with a hint of admiration. "But you can't dodge forever."
He unleashed a flurry of attacks, his blade a blur of motion, each strike aimed to overwhelm Kakashi's defenses. Kakashi, his Sharingan working tirelessly, dodged and weaved, his movements a testament to his skill and experience.
Suddenly, kakashi infront of zabuza vanished in white smoke.
"What?"
The Kakashi's hand crackled with blue lightning from behind zabuza "Chidori!" he yelled, his voice echoing through the mist. The lightning aimed directly at Zabuza's heart.
Zabuza, caught off guard by the sudden burst of speed and power, barely managed to deflect the attack, his Kubikiribocho clanging against Kakashi's lightning-infused hand.
The fight raged on, the clash of blades and the crackle of lightning echoing through the mist. Zabuza, his power and ferocity increasing with each passing moment, pushed Kakashi to his limits. Kakashi, his Sharingan blazing, countered with his own skill and determination, utilizing his chidori to make quick attacks.
Sasuke, his Sharingan working tirelessly, observed the fight, analyzing every movement, every technique. But because of mist He can barely see anything.
He knew that this was a chance to learn something. He noticed how zabuza used his chakra, and how he moved. He also felt a sharp, throbbing pain behind his eyes. The constant activation of his Sharingan was taking its toll.
'Damn it, he thought', his vision blurring slightly. 'I can't keep this up especially not in this mist.'
With a strained sigh, he deactivated his Sharingan, his eyes returning to their normal black. The world around him sharpened, but he felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him.
"He's strong," Naruto muttered, his voice laced with awe and fear.
"Too strong," Sakura replied, her voice trembling.
