"You actually killed him." Haku said with a look of hatred in a determined tone, "You took away the meaning of my life, so I have to kill you!"
Sasuke assumed a battle stance and thought to himself: He was clearly locked up in the fishing shed. How could he have escaped? Could Zabuza Momochi be nearby?
At this moment, Haku's face was gloomy. It seemed that two emotions, anger and sorrow, were brewing in his small body.
Sasuke felt something was definitely off at this moment. The young man in front of him seemed intent on giving it his all.
"Wow." Naruto, hiding in the dark, had a look of watching the show on his face. He was cheering for Sasuke in his heart and proudly thinking, "Sasuke, after today, you'll awaken the Sharingan. You should thank me."
Haku slowly walked forward, his steps very slow. Sasuke didn't dare to make a move. He saw Haku's body slowly merge into the ice mirrors. Even Sasuke thought this jutsu was incredible.
A dozen ice mirrors floated in the air, encircling Sasuke. But the ice mirrors couldn't reflect Sasuke's appearance. Only Haku's figure was reflected in all the ice mirrors.
"What jutsu is this exactly?" Sasuke quickly analyzed the current situation. The five major attributes of Ninjutsu are wind, fire, lightning, earth, and water. But the Secret Jutsu used by this young man didn't belong to any of these attributes.
He watched as Haku slowly raised his right hand. Sasuke quickly went on guard, but he didn't have time to react. Sasuke then felt himself being intensively attacked, and the attacks came from all directions.
"Doesn't hurt?" Sasuke took a closer look and saw many bamboo skewers on the ground.
"What kind of weapon is this?" Sasuke was very confused. How could a Ninja use bamboo skewers as a weapon?
Not only was Sasuke confused, but Haku himself also looked stunned. There were obviously thousands of steel needles in his ninja tool bag. Each steel needle was extremely hard and sharp, easily piercing the skin and penetrating the acupuncture points, causing people to die in excruciating pain.
Someone swapped my steel needles! This thought instantly popped into Haku's mind, but he really couldn't figure out who would replace his steel needles with bamboo skewers. Who would do such a thing?
"Hehehe." At this moment, Naruto, hiding in the dark, was holding a cloth bag in his hand. Inside were Haku's steel needle weapons.
Naruto whispered softly, "Sasuke is still relatively weak now. To take care of him, I had to replace all of your steel needles, Haku. Otherwise, you'd definitely kill Sasuke. If something happens to Sasuke, I won't be able to explain it to his brother."
At this moment, Haku was extremely angry. Even without the steel needles, he could still take your life with the bamboo skewers.
Haku hid within the ice mirrors. With his extremely fast movement, he shuttled among more than a dozen ice mirrors. Sasuke could do nothing because Haku's movement was so fast that Sasuke couldn't even catch a glimpse of him.
As Sasuke took a step forward, Haku continuously shot more than a dozen bamboo skewers from behind. Fortunately, the bamboo skewers weren't very lethal and didn't cause any injuries to Sasuke.
When Sasuke looked to the left, Haku quickly moved to the right through the ice mirrors and specifically attacked Sasuke from blind spots.
Naruto watched for quite a while and found something was wrong. Haku couldn't hurt Sasuke with the bamboo skewers, so Sasuke was not in mortal danger and his potential couldn't be stimulated.
"Well, it seems that I still have to take some risks if I want to obtain the Sharingan," Naruto thought. He picked out a hundred steel needles, only one - tenth of the total amount, put them in a cloth bag, and threw it directly into the battlefield. The cloth bag landed in front of the ice mirror.
The cloth bag that appeared out of nowhere attracted Sasuke and Haku's attention. At this time, both of them knew that there was a third person hiding at the scene.
"Who is it? Who on earth is hiding nearby?" Sasuke became more and more nervous.
Haku stepped out of the ice mirror, picked up the cloth bag on the ground, opened it, and found that it was full of his own steel needles, just a smaller quantity.
After picking up the hundred steel needles, Haku returned to the ice mirror. Sasuke quickly made a move to stop Haku from entering the ice mirror, but Sasuke's movement was so slow that he was simply unable to stop him. In Haku's eyes, all of Sasuke's movements were as slow as a snail.
After getting the steel needles, Haku was like a tiger with teeth. Steel needles are far more lethal than bamboo skewers. When they pierced into the skin, it was like being stung by a bee, and the pain went deep into the bone marrow. Sasuke's expression immediately changed.
Naruto was counting the steel needles. The number of steel needles stuck in Sasuke's body was almost close to a hundred. Naruto thought to himself: It's time for me to make my appearance.
"Go to hell!" Haku roared angrily and threw all the last handful of steel needles at Sasuke.
Sasuke was in too much pain to resist. At the last moment, he closed his eyes helplessly, but there was no pain like being stung by a bee on his body.
Sasuke opened his eyes and saw a familiar back. It was Naruto's back.
Naruto stood in front of Sasuke and used his own body to block all the steel needles for Sasuke. Naruto showed a determined look in his eyes and said, "Sasuke, can you still stand up?"
Sasuke nodded and stood up again, fighting side by side with Naruto.
"It's you?" Haku was still a bit afraid when he saw Naruto appear, but then he thought that Zabuza Momochi was already dead, and there was nothing left for him to fear.
"Naruto, be careful. That guy suddenly showed up. We don't even know how he escaped," Sasuke warned.
Naruto knew very well because all this was planned by him. Some time ago, Naruto sneaked into the fishing shed where Haku was being held and used the [Transformation Jutsu] to transform into Sasuke's appearance.
The imposter Sasuke entered the fishing shed and saw Haku tied up. At that time, Haku's face turned deathly pale with fear. At that time, the imposter Sasuke actually had a blood - stained bandage in his hand.
The imposter Sasuke showed a strange smile and said to Haku, "I'm Sasuke Uchiha, and I killed Zabuza Momochi. The Uchiha clan is Konoha's most outstanding ninja clan. Naruto's just an underdog in Konoha."
"What did you do to Zabuza?" Haku shouted hoarsely, "What did you do!"
"Humph," the imposter Sasuke said insidiously, "Zabuza Momochi, known as the Demon of the Mist, is already dead in my hands. I cut off his head." After saying that, the imposter Sasuke threw out a blood - stained bandage.
Haku recognized this bandage. Zabuza usually covered his mouth and nose with this bandage, like a face - mask, and he would not take it off easily.
Zabuza's close - fitting bandages were stained with blood. Apparently, someone had slit Zabuza's throat, and the gushing blood had soaked the bandages.
"Hahaha!" Naruto, posing as Sasuke, let out a wild laugh. "Hahaha! I, Sasuke Uchiha, am the strongest ninja in Konoha! Even Zabuza Momochi, the Demon of the Mist, has been killed by me!" After his little act, Naruto, still in the guise of Sasuke, quickly slipped away.
"Aaaaah!" Haku let out a heart - wrenching scream. Using all his might, he finally broke free. He picked up the blood - soaked bandage, his face grim with grief, and rushed into the forest.
