Chapter 22 : Demon of the Mist : Zabuza Momochi
A few days later, the group arrived at the Land of Waves through the underground waterway.They saw uniquely styled houses neatly arranged on the water, with tall aquatic plants scattered among them. The clear view gave off a peaceful and calming feeling.
"This is amazing," Naruto said excitedly, seeing everything for the first time after leaving the village.
"Yeah, it's beautiful," Haruto took a deep breath, inhaling the sea breeze mixed with fresh plant scents. "Feels like a place to retire."
Sasuke's face relaxed. "So this is the Land of Waves? It's really different from Konoha."
"Thanks for escorting me home," Tazuna said awkwardly. "My house is just over there."
As they walked, Murasame in Haruto's arms suddenly vibrated violently. Haruto's relaxed state vanished. He glanced at a black shadow and shouted, "Get down!"
At the same time, he pushed Tazuna to the ground. A loud "chi" sound rang out as a large blade sliced halfway into a big tree. A moment later, a figure appeared standing on the blade.
"Oh, it's Momochi Zabuza, the rogue ninja of the Hidden Mist," Kakashi said, stopping Naruto from rushing in. "Don't move. Protect the client. This opponent is too dangerous for you."He lifted his forehead protector, revealing the Sharingan.
Zabuza smirked in his gloomy tone. "Unlucky that I ran into Sharingan Kakashi. Hand over the old man."
Sasuke's expression changed upon seeing Kakashi's Sharingan.
"Form the swastika formation and protect Mr. Tazuna. Leave the rest to me," Kakashi instructed, eyes fixed on Zabuza.
