Chapter 359 Zabuza's Defeat

"Next match: Konoha's Might Guy vs. Kirigakure's Zabuza Momochi!"

As Nishikawa Tetsu announced from the commentary booth, the audience, still savoring the previous battle, erupted in excitement once again.

Both of them performed exceptionally well in the exam.

On the arena.

"Oh! They're from Kirigakure!"

Kai gave Zabuza a thumbs-up, flashing a bright smile with his big white teeth.

"We were comrades who fought side by side in the Forest of Death! But today, this is the stage for youth, and I'll give it my all!"

"Who's your comrade, you idiot?"

Zabuza Momochi snorted coldly, drew his large, heavy sword from behind his back, and pointed the tip directly at Gai's brow.

His youthful face revealed an undisguised, icy killing intent.

"In Kirigakure, only the dead are true comrades. Are you underestimating me?"

Zabuza's eyes sharpened.

He had personally witnessed the immense power of Kai when he opened the Eight Gates. When fighting Kisame before, this kid didn't open the Eight Gates to conserve his strength.

Now, facing this genius from the Hidden Mist Village, this kid is still in this relaxed posture, not planning to use any forbidden techniques.

"Looking down on others comes at a price!"

"The match begins!"

"Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique!"

At Sakumo Hatake's command, Zabuza did not hesitate for a moment and quickly formed hand seals despite his injury.

Thick white mist surged from his body like a living thing, instantly enveloping the entire arena and completely swallowing the two figures.

A gasp rippled through the audience.

"Here we go again! The Hidden Mist's silent killing technique!"

"You can't see anything at all in this thick fog!"

On the arena.

Kai's vision was completely obscured by the thick fog, with visibility less than half a meter.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only his own slightly heavy breathing and... that seemingly omnipresent, chilling killing intent.

"As expected, it's a very tricky tactic."

Kai didn't panic. He closed his eyes and focused all his attention on his hearing and intuition.

"Whoosh!"

A very faint whooshing sound came from Kai's left.

There was no sound, no chakra fluctuation, not even a breeze was disturbed; only the cold blade was already close to Kai's neck.

"Die." Zabuza's cold voice echoed through the mist.

However, just as the broadsword was about to touch Kai's throat...

"Bang!"

Kai's body folded backward, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow. At the same time, his right leg shot upward like a spring.

"Konoha Whirlwind!"

"What?!"

Zabuza was shocked. He hadn't expected that this kid could predict his attack trajectory so accurately in the thick fog!

He quickly held his broadsword horizontally in front of him to block.

"when!"

With a loud bang, a tremendous force traveled through the blade, causing Zabuza's hands to go numb and his entire body to slide backward several meters.

"Got you!"

Kai opened his eyes, and using the recoil from the kick, he twisted his body in mid-air, precisely locking onto Zabuza's retreating direction.

He didn't make any hand seals because he didn't need to.

"Take this! Prelude to Power!"

Kai's speed exploded to its limit at this moment. Even without opening the Eight Gates, his normal taijutsu after unloading the weight was already astonishingly fast.

"So fast!"

Zabuza's pupils contracted sharply. He only saw a green afterimage pierce through the thick fog and appear in front of him in an instant.

Kai forcefully carved a vacuum in the thick fog with his speed, allowing the audience to see the situation on the field clearly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A barrage of punches and kicks rained down on Zabuza's body.

Zabuza could only desperately swing his greatsword to parry, but under Guy's relentless, beast-like attacks, the heavy sword became a burden.

"Damn it! How can this guy's physical skills be so strong?!"

Zabuza gritted his teeth, his heart filled with shock.

He originally thought that as long as he used the Misty Concealment Technique to block Kai's vision, he could easily deal with this guy who looked down on him for not using forbidden techniques, based on his own skill level.

But he was wrong.

Kaina's honed physique and the beastly instincts he developed through countless battles allowed him to accurately detect every movement of his opponent even in the thick fog.

"Your swordsmanship is very sharp, but you rely too much on this greatsword!"

Kai attacked frantically while shouting:

"In the battle of youth, the body is the strongest weapon!"

"Konoha Gale!"

Kai delivered a low sweeping kick, striking Zabuza's ankle hard.

Zabuza lost his balance and knelt on one knee.

"This isn't over yet! Konoha Rising Wind!"

Using the momentum, Kai leaped up and delivered a powerful knee strike, slamming it heavily into Zabuza's chin.

"puff!"

Zabuza spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body propelled into the air by the immense force, and his greatsword flew out of his hand.

"it's over!"

Kai appeared in mid-air, clasped his hands together, and slammed them down hard on Zabuza, who was now unable to resist.

"Konoha Power Cyclone!"

"boom!!!"

Zabuza crashed to the ground like a meteorite, and the surrounding mist instantly dissipated under the massive shockwave generated by the attack.

The entire room fell silent.

A moment later, thunderous cheers erupted.

"Konoha, Might Guy, wins!"

Sakumo Hatake's voice rang out.

Bottom of the pit.

Zabuza lay on the ground, writhing in excruciating pain, too weak to even move a finger.

He looked down at Matt Kai, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

There was resentment, there was humiliation, but more than anything, there was a deep sense of defeat.

Why...?

Zabuza gritted his teeth, his voice hoarse.

"You defeated me without even using that forbidden technique..."

He recalled the battle between Kisame and Guy, in which Guy also did not use forbidden techniques. Could it be that his level was about the same as Kisame's?

"So you're already discouraged?"

Instead of swaggering like a victor, Kai crouched down and extended a hand to Zabuza.

His somewhat comical face now wore an incredibly sincere smile.

"Your physical skills are very strong, but unfortunately I'm even stronger."

Kai gave a thumbs up, his teeth flashing a white light.

"In the clash of youth, only a pure heart can unleash the strongest punch! Let's have another passionate showdown next time!"

Looking at the hand reaching out to him, looking at the Konoha boy who was laughing like a fool.

Zabuza was stunned.

In the Hidden Mist, the losers face only death or ridicule.

No one has ever offered him a helping hand after defeating him, let alone expressed their anticipation for the next match.

"……boring."

Zabuza turned his head away and snorted coldly, but in the end he did not refuse the hand.

He used Kai's strength to stand up, dusted himself off, picked up the fallen broadsword, and walked unsteadily off the stage.

"Those guys from Konoha are a bunch of incomprehensible lunatics."

Zabuza muttered something under his breath.
