Chapter 27: Battle with Zabuza (Ch 27)

Zabuza Momochi, a Kirigakure, killed all his classmates to become a Genin. In the future, he defected after trying to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage and, together with Haku, became the first BOSS in the original Naruto.

Although Zabuza is still a little boy now, his image is very similar to that of the future, except that he carries an ordinary long sword instead of a beheading sword on his back. The lower half of his face is also wrapped in a bandage.

When he saw Zabuza, Yue Yan was reminded of the ninja he loved most when playing games in his previous life. His defensive counterattack coupled with the BGM of “You’re Not Asleep Yet” was so cool.

Noticing Yue Yan’s somewhat fiery eyes, Zabuza couldn’t help but frown.

“Hey, little girl over there, are you still going to fight or not?”

“Little girl? Are you calling me?” Yue Yan pointed at himself in confusion. “I’m a man, okay?”

Zabuza rolled his eyes at this. The guys in Konoha were really weirder than each other. There was the rookie Uchiha who was kicked down as soon as he came up, the hot-blooded idiot who shouted about youth, and the little girl in front of him who had cognitive difficulties with her gender. Only Kakashi was normal.

After seeing Zabuza’s expression, Yue Yan knew what he was thinking, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

My goodness, in the original work, you and Haku were together for so long, I thought Zabuza could tell that he was a man.

Wait…future…Bai…together.

Thinking of a certain possibility, Yue Yan subconsciously took a step back, and his look of disgust made Zabuza a little confused.

But before Zabuza could ask anything, the jonin who was the referee of this competition announced the start of the battle.

Seeing this, Zabuza stopped thinking about those unimportant things, and rushed towards Yue Yan with a long sword in his hand.

In his opinion, Yue Yan was just a little girl with thin arms and legs, and she didn’t need to use ninjutsu at all.

However, the next second, he would pay the price for underestimating Yue Yan.

Seeing that Zabuza wanted to engage in close combat, Yue Yan snorted coldly, and actually called him a little girl. He must be taught a lesson.

The moment the electric discharge stimulated his body, Yue Yan touched the ground with his toes and quickly moved forward.

So fast!

Zabuza only had time to think of this before Yue Yan’s fist was already close to his face. With no other choice, Zabuza could only give up the attack and use his other free arm to block and look for an opportunity to counterattack.

However, when fighting against Xiaolan who had her wave perception turned on, although Yue Yan’s physical skills were figured out by himself, he has developed a fighting style that is unique to him.

The fist shadows were dense, completely covering Zabuza.

Since Zabuza was not as fast as Yue Yan, he could only block hastily. Even if he wanted to force Yue Yan back with the long sword in his hand, he was simply unable to do so.

Long weapons cannot exert their true combat power when being attacked at close range. Every time Zabuza wanted to attack with a long sword, Yue Yan would quickly move closer to ensure that even if the sword hit him, the power would be reduced to a minimum, otherwise his heavy punch would definitely hit Zabuza.

In exchange for injury, Yue Yan was left with only a few shallow wounds, but if he was not chopped off, at least a dozen ribs would be broken.

Zabuza, who had already seen through Yue Yan’s intention, looked solemn and wondered where this madman came from. It was a good fight, but it turned into a one-on-one fight.

Knowing that he couldn’t go on like this, he took the initiative to expose a flaw.

Yue Yan, who was fighting closely, suddenly realized that he had an opportunity and instinctively kicked out with a whip kick. Even when he kicked out, Yue Yan knew that this was a flaw that Zabuza had exposed in order to escape, but it was too late to stop, mainly because the position was too good. Yue Yan felt sorry for himself if he didn’t kick out.

Zabuza used the power of this kick to quickly create some distance.

Feeling several ribs on his right side that were broken by the kick just now, and looking at Yue Yan on the opposite side who only had a few knife wounds on his body, Zabuza thought in his heart that Yue Yan was different from the noobs he had met before, and was an opponent that he needed to deal with with all his strength.

Looking at Zabuza who was getting further away, Yue Yan was not in a hurry to attack.

Zabuza also took this opportunity to adjust his breathing, and then his murderous eyes stared at Yue Yan.

“I admit that you are a strong man, worthy of my full strength.”

Although he had several broken ribs, the pain did not affect Zabuza’s movements. On the contrary, the injury made Zabuza even more powerful, like a ferocious beast trapped in a fight for its life.

The murderous aura was overwhelming and enveloped Yue Yan. This was the first time that Yue Yan felt the tangible murderous intent. In a trance, it seemed as if his skin was slightly stinging because of the murderous aura.

That was the evil ghost who killed more than a hundred of his classmates right after graduation and crawled out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

If it were in the game, there should be an extremely hideous evil face formed by murderous aura behind Zabuza at this moment.

However, Yue Yan was not afraid at all, instead his blood was boiling.

When he was training with Asuma and the others in the past, he was simply unable to exert his full strength, but when fighting against Hiashi, Yue Yan was simply beaten. He finally met an opponent with similar strength to himself, and Yue Yan also planned to show his enthusiasm.

“Water Style: Mist Hidden Technique.”

Zabuza formed hand seals at high speed and used ninjutsu to create thick fog that covered the entire venue.

Shrouded in fog, Yue Yan’s field of vision dropped sharply and he could only see within a distance of less than three meters.

However, under the Mist Hidden Technique, Zabuza was not affected at all. At this time, he was a real demon.

“Heart, throat, liver, spine, guess where I’m going to attack?”

Zabuza’s voice was vague and it was hard to tell where it was, it seemed to be beside his ear, or somewhere else. Combined with his hoarse voice from his youth, it brought endless pressure to people.

When faced with this move, ordinary ninjas may only be able to wait for the enemy to attack. Even if they have the Byakugan that can see through things, they will not be able to find the exact location because of the mist filled with chakra.

But all this does not include Yue Yan. With the perception ninjutsu he developed, as long as the enemy cannot fly, Yue Yan can know the exact location even without using his eyes.

If it was a battle where there were no venue restrictions, Yue Yan might still have a headache because the range of his perception of ninjutsu was not enough, but now it was the Chunin Exam, and the range was so small that he didn’t have to think so much.

Listening to Zabuza’s words that increased the pressure in his heart, Yue Yan curled the corners of his mouth and tapped the ground lightly with his toes.

The next moment, a weak electric current was introduced into the ground, forming an invisible electric grid, like a spider web, which clearly transmitted Zabuza’s constantly changing position to Yue Yan.

“How are your lungs? The massive bleeding will ensure that you will experience unparalleled suffocation pain before you die.”

Seeing that Zabuza was still adding psychological pressure to himself, Yue Yan couldn’t help but curl his lips.

“As a medical ninja, I kindly remind you that having a lung punctured is not the most painful thing. Replacing it with a liver that is densely packed with nerves may be a good choice.”

After hearing this, Zabuza, who originally wanted to say something, fell strangely silent.
