Chapter 58 Danger in the Dense Fog: Pay-to-Win Players and Perception Cheats
A forest on the border of the Land of Waves.
White fog rolled in from all directions. Visibility dropped rapidly to less than five meters.
Tazna gripped the backpack straps tightly, his hands trembling uncontrollably, as if there were some monster in the area.
As an ordinary bridge builder, he had never seen anything like this before.
The oppressive atmosphere made him very uncomfortable, and he was even a little scared.
"This fog... seems a bit off."
Kakashi stopped and raised his hand, signaling everyone else to stop as well.
He grabbed a handful of mist and sensed it; it actually carried fluctuations of chakra.
"Oh no! Everyone be careful!"
Kakashi suddenly became serious.
"This isn't natural fog; it's actually a fog concealment technique."
Before the words were finished, a whooshing sound tore through the thick fog.
"Get down on your feet!"
Kakashi roared.
A large, exaggeratedly shaped sword flew through the thick fog, spinning as it came.
The blade is wide and has two semi-circular notches, making it look like it was used for beheading.
It was indeed the decapitation sword that the store manager had mentioned to them before.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura reacted extremely quickly, instantly lying down.
Tazuna was slammed to the ground by Naruto. Although he got a mouthful of mud, at least he survived, and the old man didn't complain much.
A figure emerged from the mist and landed on the hilt of the sword.
He was shirtless, his face was wrapped in bandages, and his fierce eyes were visible.
With his back to everyone, he exuded an air of superiority. This scene displeased Sasuke the most; he was the most annoyed.
"Leave that old man here."
The man spoke, his words full of threat and utterly unpolite; he was indeed there to cause trouble.
"Everyone else, get out. I'll spare your lives."
Kakashi remained relatively calm after hearing this, having already prepared himself mentally, and at that moment his hand was resting on his headband.
He's also ready to use his Sharingan at any time.
"Momochi Zabuza".
Kakashi called out the other person's name.
"Kijin, a former member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, is skilled in silent killing techniques."
"It seems this mission really has become an A-level mission."
Zabuza looked at Kakashi, his eyes seemingly devoid of any emotion.
"Oh? It's actually the clone ninja Kakashi."
"What an honor to see Konoha's celebrities here. Looks like this is going to be fun."
Zabuza forms hand seals: Ox, Snake, Sheep.
"Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Technique!"
The already thick fog instantly became so dense that it couldn't be dispersed.
The view was completely blocked, and it was impossible to see even a person a meter away.
Moreover, this fog is filled with chakra, which greatly interferes with ordinary sensory ninjutsu.
"Eight places..."
Zabuza's voice came from all directions, unhurried and calm.
"Throat, spine, lungs, liver, carotid artery, subclavian artery, kidneys, heart..."
"Which part of you would like to be attacked?"
Zabuza rattled off all the parts of a dish like he was reciting a menu, making it seem like he was preparing a specific dish. It was clearly a psychological tactic.
In the unseen darkness, using the threat of death to destroy the opponent's will is also an excellent option.
This method is indeed effective for people who are not mentally strong enough. Dazner was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up.
"I'm going to die... I'm going to die..."
"Hey, uncle, don't be afraid, we're here."
Sasuke's words were calm, as if he had anticipated this situation.
He pressed a button on the side of the goggles, which were also thermal goggles he had bought from Roy's shop.
A red light shone on the lens, turning the originally white world into black and white lines.
There is a red heat source that is moving rapidly.
Red also represents human body temperature. After all, in this environment, humans are not cold-blooded animals; having temperature means having a vulnerability.
It is Zabuza.
"I saw it."
Sasuke smiled slightly, feeling that it was really convenient; with money, he could buy a lot of good things.
"The power of spending money is indeed effective."
Sakura, who was next to her, also turned on her goggles.
Although she wasn't as calm as Sasuke, the technological support greatly reduced her fear of the unknown.
People are always filled with fear when facing the unknown, but for now, with the store manager's help, they feel much more at ease.
She held a kunai in one hand and reached for the medicine at her waist with the other.
It is a basic super strength potion.
She can become One-Punch Man if she drinks it.
Naruto wasn't wearing goggles, but his eyes were still closed.
Standing still with his hands in his pockets, he was activating Kagura's Mind's Eye.
In his mind, the world is made up of chakra. This mist may limit ordinary perception, but not Kagura's Mind's Eye.
Zabuza's chakra was like a torch in the darkness.
It's brighter than a lighthouse.
Even Zabuza's hand seals and the direction of his chakra flow were clearly visible.
"He's building up his strength."
Naruto said in a low voice, then pointed to the back of a large tree on the left.
"At the ten o'clock position, fifteen meters away, he is preparing to escape into the water."
This is what makes perception cheats so terrifying.
Sasuke had no doubts; he verified Naruto's judgment through his goggles.
Lightning Release chakra condensed in his hand, and several shuriken were enveloped in blue arcs of electricity.
"go!"
Sasuke shook his hand.
The sword in his hand shot towards the back of the big tree.
Zabuza was forming hand seals behind the tree when suddenly several bolts of lightning struck.
"What?!"
Zabuza was greatly alarmed.
Is this really not a joke?
With such thick fog, how could the other party possibly find his location?
Not only did they discover it, but they were also incredibly accurate.
He was forced to interrupt his ninjutsu and parry with his sword.
The decapitation blade deflected the sword in his hand, but it still caused sparks to fly everywhere.
"Kids, your hard skills may not be impressive, but your fancy tricks are certainly interesting."
Zabuza snorted coldly.
"You're a million years away from defeating me."
He was about to retaliate when he heard a sound from above.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
Naruto's dozens of shadow clones descended from the sky, each holding a kunai, blocking Zabuza's escape routes.
"Is this your tactic?"
Zabuza was utterly disdainful of him.
"No matter how many there are, they're still garbage."
He wielded the decapitation sword with one hand.
Before the shadow clone could even land, it was shattered by the wind of the blade and vanished into white smoke.
"Too weak."
Zabuza scoffed.
"This level of attack isn't even enough to tickle me."
Just then, he sensed that something was wrong.
There was a murderous aura behind me.
Kakashi seized the moment when Zabuza was preoccupied with his clones and his attention was drawn to the brats, and made his move.
He used his Sharingan to copy Zabuza's Water Clone Technique, and his main body instantly appeared behind Zabuza.
Holding a kunai in his hand, the blade pressed against Zabuza's neck.
That's enough.
Kakashi's voice rang in Zabuza's ears.
Zabuza.
"Your silent killing technique has been seen through."
Zabuza didn't dare to make a move for the time being; he never expected this.
He, a dignified Demon of the Hidden Mist, was used as bait by a few genin, and Kakashi even seized on his weakness.
"The brat from Konoha..."
Zabuza gritted his teeth in anger.
"That's really a lack of martial ethics."
Kakashi didn't waste any words and prepared to slit the throat.
