Sure enough, although it was a bit unexpected, Kakashi still destroyed the water clone in front of him, then turned around and blocked Zabuza's attack in time.
However, because he was a step too slow to clean up the water in front of him, Zabuza kicked him into the creek in front of him during the taijutsu contest.
"Water Escape·Water Prison Technique!"
Seeing Kakashi fall into the water, Zabuza showed a sneer on his face, quickly stepped forward and activated the ninjutsu he had prepared in advance.
It turned out that he had no hope of being able to quickly deal with the famous Kakashi. Everything he did before was just to force Kakashi into the river and trap him with the Water Prison Technique.
His mission was not to kill Kakashi, or to decide the outcome with Kakashi, but to kill Tatsuna, so this was the battle plan drawn up from the beginning.
To be able to reach the level of an elite ninja from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, to escape unscathed after attacking Mizukage, and not to be killed by Kirigage's pursuit team, Zabuza's strength and combat wisdom are definitely not as good as at this time.
How much lower is Kakashi?
However, there was a slight flaw when he appeared, and the beheading sword was taken away by Li Chuan.
But there's nothing that can be done about it. In addition to strength, ninja fighting is all about intelligence. He has Kakashi's intelligence, but not Li Chuan's. It's normal for accidents to happen.
It's like two armies confronting each other. Their strength is about the same, and the two generals are about the same strength. However, an unknown soldier on one side has the same fighting power as Lu Bu. You couldn't have predicted it even if Zhuge Liang came.
Even Kakashi cannot easily break the Water Prison Technique cast by Zabuza's main body. However, Zabuza's main body cannot move even if he wants to maintain this technique.
However, Zabuza had obviously been prepared for it. He used one hand to maintain the Water Prison Technique to trap Kakashi, and he formed a seal with the other hand to form a water body again.
"This is the time you've been waiting for!"
Seeing Zabuza's water avatar walking towards them step by step, Li Chuan picked up his Zen staff and went straight towards it.
"You protect Mr. Dazuna, I will deal with him!"
The duel between Zabuza and Kakashi just now has caused Naruto and the three of them to completely lose their confidence. Even Sasuke, the strongest, looked at Zabuza walking step by step, and his hand holding the kunai started to tremble a little.
.
Fortunately, besides Kakashi, there is also Li Chuan who is obviously much stronger than them.
"Little monk, you can forcefully enter this uncle's manual, but unfortunately, it's no longer necessary!"
Zabuza took the kunai and without wasting any time, he attacked Li Chuan like lightning.
The ninjas who can be included in his ninja manual are all ninjas recognized by him. However, if the person dies, there is no need to write it in the manual.
"Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura, the three of you protect Mr. Tazuna and stay away. His water body cannot leave the main body too far.
Chuan, there is no need to confront him head-on. As long as he persists for five minutes, his water clone will be released automatically. With his current chakra, if he separates into another clone, I can forcefully break his water prison!"
Although Cassie was trapped in the water prison, she quickly formulated a combat plan based on the situation at the scene.
He is now very lucky to have gathered this obviously powerful Ninja monk from the Fire Temple, otherwise this situation would be troublesome. With the strength of Naruto and the other three, facing Zabuza's clone, they would not even have the basic ability to fight back.
.
"Five minutes, that's not that difficult!"
Facing the fast attack of Zabuza, Li Chuan held the Zen staff in both hands and used all his strength to perform the simple but powerful Shaolin Bodhidharma Staff Technique.
This is a stick technique he once learned from a Shaolin lay disciple. Although the move is simple, it can maximize the power of the Zen stick.
After defeating Zabuza, who is an elite Jonin, he may not be an opponent even if he uses all his cards now, but if he can hold on for five minutes with his superior skills, he is still confident.
In fact, part of the reason for deliberately turning the situation into this was because he wanted to fight Zabuza's clone and find out his current strength.
"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!"
After a series of intensive metal collisions, Zabuza's water body had to retreat temporarily and stopped his plan to defeat Li Chuan by approaching the body technique.
The Zen staff, which weighed nearly two hundred kilograms, could not be splashed by Li Chuanwu's water. He could not find an opportunity to kill it with a fatal blow.
If he had a decapitating sword in hand at this time, he could still have a collision and rely on his exquisite sword skills to win, but just relying on kunai, he felt that every collision would risk the water body falling apart.
"So far, you have been using taijutsu and you don't seem to be very good at ninjutsu."
Zabuza's water body looked at Li Chuan and slowly put away the kunai.
During the several critical moments when he might have been injured in the previous battle, the opponent did not use ninjutsu, but chose to trade injuries for injuries, forcing him to return to defense.
"It's true that I'm not good at ninjutsu, but I can still do it with taijutsu for five minutes."
Li Chuan knew that Zabuza was testing him, and he answered this way on purpose.
He wants to create an image in front of everyone that he is not good at ninjutsu, and fights only with his own taijutsu as much as possible. This way he can hide his strength and not arouse suspicion when he does certain things in the future.
"You underestimate me too much!"
Zabuza quickly formed seals with both hands:
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
A water body with Zabuza's general chakra can naturally perform corresponding ninjutsu.
As Zabuza's seal was completed, the huge water dragon formed by the B-level water dragon bullet technique flew fiercely towards Li Chuan.
If he were hit by the water dragon shot by Zabuza, an elite jounin, even with Li Chuan's current physical fitness, he would probably suffer serious injuries.
So he decisively threw the Zen staff in his hand towards the water dragon to temporarily slow down the water dragon. Then he jumped up as fast as possible and escaped from the water dragon's attack range.
There is no way, the water dragon is too fast, and if he is carrying a heavy Zen staff, he may not have time to escape.
"it's over!"
However, the moment Li Chuan jumped up, Zabuza's water avatar appeared behind him at the same time, and stabbed his neck with a kunai.
"Behind, be careful!"
When Naruto and the other three saw Zabuza appearing behind Li Chuan, they suddenly reminded loudly in fear.
Unfortunately, if he had waited until they reminded him, Li Chuan would have been stabbed through the neck long ago.
"It was you who ended it."
Sensing Zabuza appearing behind him, Li Chuan not only wasn't afraid, but instead showed an expression on his face that said he knew you would be like this, and then made a fierce stabbing motion with both hands.
A strange thing happened. His originally empty hand suddenly had a sharp long knife.
So before Zabuza's kunai could reach Li Chuan's neck, he was stabbed through by Li Chuan and turned into a puddle of water and disappeared.
