Suiton: Great Waterfall Technique!

A terrible roar was heard in the thick of the forest.

Zabuza stared in shock at the rushing stream of water.

Boom!

And a moment later he was overwhelmed by this stream!

Haku then appeared and took Zabuza, and later Naruto and Sasuke carried the exhausted Kakashi home to the carpenter Tazuna.

However, soon after everyone had gone home, three people appeared at the battle site.

“Hmm, our predecessor Momochi Zabuza, of course, completely lost face, losing to this Hatake Kakashi from Konoha,” Ameyuri grinned contemptuously, but at the mention of Kakashi’s name, coldness and a thirst for murder shone through her voice.

After all, for her, Zabuza is not only a renegade of Kirigakure, but also one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist of the previous generation.

If the former Swordsman of the Mist had been defeated in a one-on-one battle, she would not have gotten angry, but then Kakashi won only through ingenuity and cunning.

Ameyuri took this as an insult to the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist.

Yudao yawned carefree. He also considered Zabuza's defeat to be completely groundless, illogical, and even partly accidental.

The Sharingan is widely known throughout the world. Other shinobi villages may well not have known his abilities in detail, but they accurately analyzed the general properties.

Not to mention that Momochi Zabuza knew the opponent's nickname - Copy Ninja Sharingan Kakashi.

Given all this, was it really any surprise when Kakashi began repeating hand seals after Zabuza?

“Plot armor in action?” – Yudao thought gloomily.

- Why are you quiet, Hozuki Suigetsu? – Ameyuri grinned at her companion.

“I don’t even know, for some reason I’m annoyed by that dark-haired kid from Konoha, and also that person who took Zabuza is also very suspicious,” Suigetsu whispered irritably in response.

- Um, that kid? Well, a simple child, as far as I’m concerned, but the one in the mask, of course, yes...” Ameyuri gave Suigetsu, who was standing next to him, a mocking look, replaying fresh memories in her memory, and added seriously. “And it looks like he’s on Zabuza’s side.”

- Let's leave Zabuza for now, I was wondering, when Hatake Kakashi from Konoha fell unconscious, did you think about finishing him off? – Yudao stroked his chin, turning to his doggy comrades.

- Finish off Kakashi? – Hozuki’s eyes bulged in surprise.

He didn't think about it!

Ameyuri was also confused by this question.

Of course, she wanted to kill, but she held back... after all, killing Kakashi could cause a squabble between Konoha and Kiri, even leading to war!

And then the Mist Swordsman's eyes widened in shock.

- Yes, yes, don’t be surprised. We're actually here to start a war. And not just a war between Konoha and Kiri, but between Konoha and the rest of the Great Villages... - Yudao shook his head with a smile and patted the top of the stunned kunoichi’s head, his voice sounded affectionately in the ears of Suigetsu and Ameyuri.

– This means war, right? Sounds interesting! – The Swordswoman of the Mist grinned excitedly, blushing with embarrassment.

“I’ve never been to Konoha, but now who knows, who knows!” – Hozuki grinned in unison with her.

– I see you’re not worried at all? – Yudao inquired, surprised by such a reckless reaction.

– Just yesterday we would not have dared to go against Konoha, but why be afraid at all when you are with us... the great and terrible First Mizukage, mu-ha-ha-ha! – then Suigetsu laughed out loud with all his pointed teeth.

To which Ameyuri nodded in agreement.

In fact, not only these two, but the entire Kirigakure felt unprecedented confidence with Yudao behind them.

“Let’s go, let’s have a little fun before the main performance starts, and we’ll kill a couple of people at the same time,” Yudao sighed, only once again becoming worried by the careless behavior of the couple.

- Where? Whom? – Suigetsu was already tearing and throwing.

- Well, the Konokhovskys, of course, who else? – Ameyuri dramatically rolled her eyes at Hozuki’s impenetrable stupidity.

And a moment later their figures disappeared.

Near the border of the Land of Waves.

Four shinobi in black gear looked around.

“Everything indicates that Yoshiro Kinoshita has crossed the border of the Country of Waves,” said one of them, having finished checking the situation, and seriously added, “This is a small island country, but reaching the object will still be problematic if he decides to hide...

All four Konoha shinobi fell silent after these words.

Danzo-sama strictly limited their time, because the longer the search lasts, the higher the likelihood of unforeseen circumstances arising.

-Then let's split up. Send a secret signal as soon as you find Yoshiro Kinoshita. Well, in the event of an armed conflict, everyone knows what to do! – one of the shinobi, most likely the captain of the squad, said coldly.

To which the other three nodded.

This is the best option now!

But while they were talking, the fog gradually thickened around them.

- Damn it, this is a fog technique! – Root’s member noticed something was wrong.

After which they immediately moved so that all four were looking in different directions, with their backs to each other.

Futon: Great Rush!

With lightning speed, making a series of hand seals, the Root shinobi released a powerful gust of wind from his mouth.

He wanted to disperse the fog with the wind!

“Too slow! Suiton: Water Gun! – with a contemptuous grin, Suigetsu fired a water projectile from the thick of the fog.

“Stop chatting!” – not forgetting to pin Hozuki, Ameyuri rushed forward with flaming arcs of lightning on Kiba’s blades.

“Two, don’t look like Yoshiro Kinoshita! – the Root shinobi calmly stated, having discovered the approach of two sources of chakra.
