Chapter 13: The End?
"Naruto, you stay back first."
The Water Clone of Kakashi next to Zabuza Momochi turned back and said to Naruto behind him, then dissolved into a puddle of water and vanished.
"Don't even think about it."
Hearing this, Zabuza Momochi finally recovered slightly from the anger of being tricked. He thought that as long as he captured this brat, he could force Kakashi Hatake to hand over Tazuna.
After all, that Kakashi fellow was quite troublesome. Although he could win if the fight continued, it would be extremely bothersome.
"Zabuza, I advise you not to move."
At this moment, by Kakashi Hatake's main body, the index finger of her raised left hand had already condensed a small, rapidly spinning Rasengan.
Simultaneously, crackling blue electricity permeated the area around it.
"What is that?"
Everyone present felt their scalps tingle watching this scene.
"Heh, the one who shouldn't move is you."
Seeing this, although a sense of crisis rose in Zabuza Momochi's heart, by visual estimation, the distance between him and Kakashi Hatake was already over forty meters, while the distance between him and the brat behind her was less than seven meters.
This meant he could completely capture the brat before Kakashi Hatake's attack arrived.
Zabuza Momochi finished speaking and, noticing that Kakashi Hatake seemed genuinely hesitant to move, decisively turned around at extreme speed to grab Naruto behind her.
Pfft~
Just as Zabuza Momochi turned, Kakashi Hatake immediately launched a modified version of the Electromaster Rail Spiral Cannon: the Electromagnetic Rasengan Gun.
A beam of orange-red light, wrapped in blue electricity, instantly pierced through Zabuza Momochi's left shoulder.
Immediately following, the bullet-like Rasengan that passed through Zabuza Momochi exploded in the water not far from Naruto.
The splashing water hit Naruto like a drowned dog, even washing him out and throwing him into the sea.
"Aaaah—gurgle gurgle~"
The entire process was completed in the blink of an eye, giving Naruto no time to react.
It wasn't just Naruto; Sasuke, Sakura, and the others watching from the side also stared with wide eyes, frozen as they watched everything unfolding before them.
"What Ninjutsu is this?"
Zabuza Momochi quickly stood up, clutching his left shoulder, and looked at Kakashi Hatake with a grave expression. He knew this mission had failed.
The intelligence was flawed. If his information about Kakashi Hatake had been slightly more accurate, he wouldn't have failed.
"Lightning Release, Electromagnetic Rasengan Gun," Kakashi Hatake lowered her left hand and said slowly.
"Damn it, I was almost killed by you, Kakashi-sensei!"
At this moment, Naruto also emerged from the sea. Still shaken, he couldn't help but shout towards Kakashi Hatake.
"Don't worry, Naruto. I calculated the damage and distance; I wouldn't have hurt you, but being slightly affected is unavoidable!"
Kakashi Hatake's tone was somewhat casual. After all, what she used just now was not the Electromaster Rail Spiral Cannon.
"I don't care! As compensation, I want to learn that Electromagnetic Rasengan Gun too!"
Uzumaki Naruto's eyes lit up when he thought of that Ninjutsu just now. Being able to point wherever he wanted to hit—that was just too cool!
"Well, that depends on whether your Chakra nature matches."
Kakashi Hatake didn't mind. If he wanted to learn, she would teach him, but whether he could actually learn it was not her concern. If the principle behind releasing this Ninjutsu hadn't been directly engraved in her mind, she probably would have found it difficult to learn too.
As for Naruto, there was even less need to mention it.
"..." Seeing this, Sasuke's lips moved. He wanted to say he wanted to learn too, but he felt too embarrassed to say it.
Sakura also somewhat wanted to learn, but she thought that when Kakashi-sensei taught Naruto later, she would definitely teach the rest of them together! So, she said nothing.
"What is a Chakra nature?"
Naruto rushed over impatiently and quickly asked.
"We'll talk about that later. Right now, we need to deal with the enemy in front of us first."
Kakashi Hatake's gaze swept past Naruto, looking toward Zabuza Momochi, who was struggling to stand on the water while clutching his wound.
As if hearing the words about dealing with Zabuza Momochi, a slight noise suddenly came from the trees not far away.
Kakashi Hatake keenly sensed this subtle movement and immediately turned her head to look.
She saw several needles suddenly fly out from the tree, heading straight for Zabuza Momochi.
Kakashi Hatake's reaction was extremely fast; she immediately threw a shuriken, knocking the flying needles down.
"Who is it?"
Naruto, Sakura, and the others were also startled by this sudden event and quickly turned to look at the source of the flying needles.
They saw a masked person jump out.
