As a master of martial arts, you can detect the enemy's movements not only through your eyes, wind, breathing, voice, smell, murderous aura, etc. You can also judge a person's position.
Even if he closes his eyes, Li Chuan can still fight with his extraordinary body and rich experience.
Zabuza's silent killing technique is indeed powerful. He can almost move in the thick fog without making a sound, but he still cannot escape Li Chuan's induction.
"Qiang!"
Facing this unexpected Zen staff, Zabuza frowned, and immediately moved the kunai that was stabbing Tazuna, and faced the Zen staff that hit his chest with great force.
"What a force!"
The kunai and the Zen staff collided together, and his expression changed instantly, and he hurriedly stepped back to relieve the power from the Zen staff.
Zen staffs are inherently heavy weapons, and the one in Li Chuan's hand was specially made by Jinai. It is twice as heavy as an ordinary Zen staff.
If Zabuza is still holding the decapitating sword in his hand at this time, he can still touch him and get a kunai like a dagger, but naturally he will not be able to resist.
In addition, Li Chuan himself is a master of Chinese martial arts, and his physical strength is very strong. Coupled with the chakra talent of the immortal clan that can enhance the physical body, he also uses special techniques to exert force.
When the Zen staff came over, if Zabuza hadn't retreated quickly enough because of his experience and chose to resist forcefully, his wrist would have been broken by now.
It was only now that Zabuza began to really pay attention to Li Chuan.
In the world of ninjas, information is very important, so any more powerful ninja will basically appear in the ninja manuals of major ninja villages.
Therefore, even if Zabuza and Kakashi meet for the first time, they can immediately recognize each other's identity and roughly know the other's general information.
Similarly, if a ninja is not even mentioned in the ninja manual, then it is basically not very powerful. At least in the eyes of an elite jounin like Zabuza, there is no need to pay too much attention to it.
It's just that Zabuza could not have imagined that Li Chuan's identity was still the prince of the Fire Country eight months ago, and he would mostly be at the Fire Temple when he became a ninja. Except for the people in the Fire Temple, no one knew Li Chuan's strength.
Even Di Lu actually doesn't know what Li Chuan's true strength is.
Because the non-Fire Nation ninjutsu that Li Chuan learned secretly was basically never shown in front of Jilu, he only practiced it by himself in private.
Some of the cruel and killing moves in Chinese martial arts have never been used in sparring with Dilu.
People always have to keep some trump cards, otherwise all the information will be grasped by others, and it is easy to become passive in battle.
"As expected of an elite jounin!"
Li Chuan turned around and looked at Zabuza who was retreating, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Zabuza had just used a silent killing technique to sneak attack Tazuna, and he turned around and counterattacked when the opponent looked down on him and focused on Kakashi. It was not an unexpected sneak attack.
However, even so, Zabuza was still able to react in time, and escaped the attack without any damage by retreating to release his strength.
"What a speed!"
Just after sighing that Zabuza was experienced, he saw that Kakashi had already grasped the flaw, appeared behind Zabuza who was retreating, and quietly inserted the kunai into Zabuza's waist.
"Pfft!"
However, what was unexpected was that Zabuza, who had the kunai inserted into his waist, instantly turned into a puddle of water and fell to the ground.
And behind Kakashi, Zabuza actually appeared again.
"Pfft!"
With the same sound again, Kakashi also turned into a pool of water, and Zabuza had a kunai on his neck.
"What exactly is going on?"
Naruto and the three of them still haven't figured out what happened.
It seemed like a long time had passed since Zabuza attacked Tatsuna in a sneak attack, and now Kakashi's kunai was placed on Zabuza's neck, but in reality it only lasted a second or two.
"Just when Zabuza was forced back by me, he had already used the water body technique to hide his true body in the thick fog.
When Kakashi used Zabuza's clone technique, he copied his ninjutsu and also hid his true body in the thick fog.
So actually, just now, it was their water bodies that were fighting!"
Li Chuan explained with a serious expression.
He could see the movements of the two people clearly with his eyesight, but with his proficiency in ninjutsu, he was not able to cast a clone to replace the main body in an instant like them.
To be honest, if an enemy with slightly poor eyesight encounters these two people, they may have been killed by their clones in the first round.
"The young monk's eyesight is not bad, and the copying ninja Kakashi is also well-deserved. He can see through and copy my ninjutsu so quickly. But that's it!"
I saw a figure suddenly appear in the thick fog, and then attacked Kakashi's back.
It turned out that the Zabuza who was held by Kakashi's neck was still a water body, and the real Zabuza had been hiding in the thick fog and never appeared.
Because of Kakashi's Sharingan, most of the chakra in his body is restricted, so the amount of chakra that can be used is very small, and the shadow clone technique requires half of the chakra to be used every time.
Therefore, Kakashi is still very cautious about the use of shadow clones.
This is different from multiple shadow clones. If there are multiple shadow clones, Kakashi can also create hundreds of them, but as he said himself, they can only be used to bluff people.
Multiple shadow clones distribute the chakras in the body evenly. Assuming that Kakashi has a hundred chakras, then after he divides a hundred chakras, there will be only one chakra in the main body and the clones. See if it is okay, and the battle will be fine.
Basically don't even think about it.
But if he uses a shadow clone to create one, then the clone will be fifty and the main body will be fifty, the combat power will naturally not be weak. If he divides another one, the clone will be twenty-five and the main body will be twenty-five, that's okay.
But if we continue to divide them, the combat effectiveness of the main body will be too weakened.
Therefore, multiple shadow clones are only suitable for people with a large amount of chakra in their bodies. For example, like Naruto, there is so much chakra in his body that it explodes. Even if there are dozens or hundreds of clones, each clone still has a lot of chakra.
Although Zabuza is an elite jounin like Kakashi, he does not have the burden of the Sharingan. The amount of chakra in his body is that of a normal elite jounin, and having a few more shadow clones will not affect his strength too much.
At this time, Li Chuan raised the Zen staff in his hand, and finally put it down again.
When Zabuza's body was motionless, he couldn't even detect it even if it was covered by thick fog. But when Zabuza rushed towards Kakashi, the trace of air flow brought by his body was enough for him to understand Zabuza's position.
If he threw the Zen staff in his hand at this time, he could naturally interrupt Zabuza's attack immediately, but he thought about it and still didn't do that.
Because that was not in line with the action plan he originally formulated.
Anyway, with Kakashi's skill, he definitely wouldn't be killed by Zabuza just like that.
