Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 153 Self-created Secret Technique

All of this happened in an instant; the offensive shifted so quickly it was dazzling.

Just as Zuo Yue used Lightning Release to shatter the ice mirror and instantly appeared behind Bai, the kunai was about to pierce the target!

The ice mirror fragments that had been blasted apart by the lightning release suddenly stopped in mid-air and changed direction! The next moment, they reformed and shaped at an even faster speed, turning into dozens of ice needles that attacked Zuo Yue's back!

"Ice Release: Thousand Kill Water Flight!"

Just as Satsuki's kunai was about to pierce Shiro's back, and Shiro herself was about to be riddled with holes by the dense ice needles, resulting in a lose-lose situation—

"Sasuki!"

Naruto exclaimed in surprise. The next moment, just as Satsuki was about to launch a fatal attack, she suddenly felt a force gently wrap around her waist. Then, a huge pulling force came and violently dragged her away from the spot!

It was the golden chakra chains of the Vajra Seal! They swiftly pulled Zuo Yue out of the deadly range of "Thousand Kill Water Flight," narrowly avoiding the indiscriminate barrage of ice needles.

At the same time, Haku felt the pressure from both Naruto in front and Satsuki behind. The moment Satsuki was pulled away, he immediately exerted his strength, trying to separate himself from Naruto's kunai attack, and used the force to teleport backward to avoid the range of his exploding ice needles.

However, in the tiny gap between successfully deflecting Naruto's kunai and gathering chakra beneath his feet to activate the Body Flicker Technique—Naruto anticipated his move! A powerful side kick landed precisely on Haku's chest!

"Bang!"

A dull thud resounded! Caught off guard, Bai was kicked to the side by the immense force and flew backward, crashing to the ground.

Naruto himself, after kicking Haku away, did not linger and immediately activated the Body Flicker Technique, his figure flashing as he swiftly escaped the area covered by the exploding ice needles.

"What?! Bai has actually fallen into a disadvantageous position?"

Zabuza, who had been watching from the sidelines, wore an expression of disbelief. His carefully crafted and prized "tool" had been so thoroughly defeated by two Konoha brats who were clearly much younger.

"Satsuki, use Fire Release!" Naruto shouted, his hands already rapidly forming hand seals once more. "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Satsuki, who had been safely placed on the ground under the Vajra Seal, instantly understood Naruto's intention. Almost without hesitation, her hands completed the hand seals with dazzling speed. "Fire Release: Fire Phoenix Flower Technique!"

Several blazing fireballs spewed from Sazuki's mouth, naturally and willingly entering the fierce horizontal tornado created by Naruto!

The wind fanned the flames, and the fire, aided by the wind, surged wildly the moment they came into contact, instantly forming a gigantic, roaring, and spinning fire tornado!

This combination ninjutsu has descended once again!

Wind Release: Ultimate Technique - Super Instantaneous Radiant Wind Dragon Flame Sky Vortex Whirlwind Formation!

The scorching flames and violent wind pressure instantly swept across the entire bridge area. The originally dense and impenetrable fog was forcibly dispersed and evaporated under the influence of the high temperature and airflow! The surrounding view suddenly became incredibly clear and open.

Zabuza's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He roared in Haku's direction, "Haku! Get serious! These two brats are much more troublesome than we thought! Stop holding back, finish them off with all your might!"

Bai's figure reappeared clearly as the thick fog dissipated. He watched the fiery tornado sweeping towards him like a natural disaster, and his hands began to rapidly form hand seals.

"I'm sorry, please only hate me..."

As he spoke in a low voice, thick ice walls rose up one after another in front of him, attempting to block the advance of the fire tornado.

However, this berserk ninjutsu, which combined the nature transformations of wind and fire chakra, was too powerful. The ice wall only held out for a few seconds before rapidly melting and collapsing under the intense heat and impact!

After several ice walls were destroyed in succession, the terrifying fiery tornado finally rushed towards Bai, and it looked like it was about to completely engulf him—

However, the moment the tornado touched Bai's figure, his body turned into a puddle of water with a "splash".

It is a water clone.

Realizing their combined attack had failed, Naruto and Sasuke immediately released the chakra they had been using to maintain their ninjutsu. The massive fiery tornado, having lost its energy source, rapidly weakened and dissipated.

As expected, Bai's true killing move had already been prepared under the cover of his water clones.

Bai's cool voice came from all directions at the same time.

"Secret Technique: Magic Mirror Ice Crystal"

Dozens of enormous, smooth, mirror-like ice crystals appeared out of thin air around Naruto and Satsuki. These ice mirrors formed a hemispherical cage, completely sealing the two inside.

White's figure appeared simultaneously in every ice mirror. "It's all for Zabuza-san... I absolutely cannot lose."

Bai's voice came from all directions, echoing between the cold mirror surfaces.

Naruto looked around at the secret barrier created by Haku with great interest. Instead of fear, his eyes shone with curiosity and admiration.

What amazing talent... to be able to develop and utilize the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai to this extent, almost mimicking the effect of space-time ninjutsu, creating such an absolutely advantageous home field.

Not far away, watching as the white [Magic Mirror Ice Crystal] perfectly took shape, completely trapping Naruto and Sasuke within it, Zabuza finally turned his gaze away from the battlefield and towards Kakashi, a confident expression on his face, declaring his victory.

"It seems the battle is about to end. Kakashi, I admit your two subordinates are indeed exceptionally talented, managing to push Haku to this point... But Haku is different from them!"

His tone carried a hint of barely perceptible pride. "From the time he was a child, I imparted all my fighting skills to him without reservation! He is my perfect tool! You cannot stop us!"

Kakashi's gaze swept over the Ice Prison not far away, then looked at the confident Zabuza in front of him.

"Hmph hmph hmph hmph..."

Kakashi suddenly lowered his head and let out a series of low, ambiguous laughs, which seemed to carry a hint of mockery and amusement.

Zabuza was completely taken aback by Kakashi's unexpected reaction. "What's so funny? Still bluffing even when you're about to die?"

"Zabuza..." Kakashi slowly raised his head, his exposed eye curving into a crescent shape. "It seems you still underestimate Naruto."

"If Haku, whom you have carefully nurtured, is a genius that is one in a million... then Naruto Uzumaki is someone who cannot be judged by common sense—a 'prodigy'."

That guy... he's a perfect candidate for Jinchūriki, capable of communicating with the Tailed Beasts and even having some initial control over the Nine-Tails' power...

Kakashi steadily raised the kunai in his hand, once again assuming the standard fighting stance, and pointed it at Zabuza.

"Let me tell you the truth, Zabuza Momochi." Kakashi's voice was clear and carried an undeniable certainty, "In my Team 7, the strongest fighter has never been me..."

"It's Naruto Uzumaki."
