NIP Chapter 155 Battle Ends
Chapter 155 Battle Ends
On the other side, Zabuza stared intently at Kakashi with a grave expression. Because the previous [Super Instantaneous Radiant Wind Dragon Flame Heaven Vortex Whirlwind Formation] had completely dispelled all the surrounding mist, he had lost the environmental advantage he relied on to perform a silent assassination technique.
He instinctively wanted to form the hand seals again and release the Mist Concealment Technique once more, but the moment his fingers moved, he failed.
Kakashi lifted his headband almost simultaneously, revealing his Sharingan, and his hands formed the exact same hand seals as Kakashi's at a speed no less than Kakashi's!
What... is this guy trying to do? Copy my Mist Concealment Technique and shroud the battlefield in fog again? What good would that do him?
Zabuza was completely baffled by Kakashi's seemingly self-destructive actions, just as doubt began to creep into his mind.
"boom!!!"
A dull thud, not loud but impactful to the soul, suddenly came from not far behind! A terrifying pressure, filled with violence and ominousness, burst forth from behind as if it were a tangible force, causing the hairs on Zabuza's back to stand on end instantly!
"What...what kind of chakra is this?!"
Zabuza roared in horror. The quality and quantity of this chakra far exceeded that of any ninja he had ever seen, and it was full of primal destructive power.
He abruptly turned his head, looking towards the direction of the white [Magic Mirror Ice Crystal]. There, within the once crystal-clear ice cage, was a restless, fiery crimson color, like burning blood, violently surging and expanding, threatening to shatter the entire ice crystal barrier from the inside!
Kakashi also saw the crimson chakra soaring into the sky. Unlike Zabuza's pure shock, he clearly knew where this chakra came from and what kind of terrifying existence it represented.
Did Naruto... ultimately use that power?
Kakashi's expression instantly became even more serious. Although Naruto had previously claimed that the tailed beast had voluntarily lent him its power, Kakashi had no idea whether Naruto's current body could truly withstand the erosion of such violent energy!
We can't delay any longer! We must deal with Zabuza as quickly as possible, and then immediately check on Naruto's condition!
The thought flashed through Kakashi's mind. He immediately changed his original battle plan, abandoning those safer, more chakra-efficient maneuvering strategies.

Haku stared nervously at Naruto, who was enveloped in a restless orange-red chakra cloak that formed the shape of a tail and exuded a chilling aura.
He had never seen such bizarre and violent chakra before; the primal and violent energy it contained made him tremble from the depths of his soul.
Compared to this power, Zabuza's terrifying killing intent was like the difference between a firefly's light and the moon's radiance.
Just as Haku was trying to use the ice mirror to move again and test Naruto's true strength.
"What?!"
The pupils under the white mask suddenly contracted. He couldn't see Naruto's movements at all. He only felt a blur before his eyes, and the figure wrapped in the tailed beast's chakra appeared directly in front of the ice mirror where his true body was!
A fist enveloped in crimson chakra slammed down without any fancy moves toward the ice mirror where he was hiding!
"boom--!!!"
The deafening roar was deafening! On instinct, Haku leaped to the adjacent ice mirror to dodge! The hard ice mirror he had been hiding in was instantly shattered into countless fragments like fragile glass by Naruto's fist, which contained the power of the tailed beast, and the fragments scattered in all directions.
"So strong!" Bai was shocked. The hardness of this ice mirror was far beyond ordinary. Even fire-style ninjutsu could not easily melt it. Yet, it was shattered by the opponent's pure power with a single punch!
He immediately realized that he absolutely could not let Naruto get close at this moment, otherwise the battle would end in an instant.
Seeing Naruto transform into a streak of red light and rush towards the ice mirror where Naruto had just hidden without any hesitation, Haku jumped again without hesitation, and at the same time waved his hands repeatedly, shooting a large number of ice senbon at Naruto like a storm!
However, when the ice needles came into contact with the boiling chakra coating on Naruto's body, they made a "hissing" sound, like ice and snow encountering a branding iron. They were instantly melted and evaporated by the high temperature and violent energy, and could not harm Naruto in the slightest.
Naruto didn't even need to make any defensive move; with another punch, he shattered the ice mirror that Haku had just been standing on! Amidst the flying fragments, his blue eyes, which appeared unusually calm under the reflection of his raging chakra, locked onto Haku's location once again.
"How about this?"
Haku was forced to change his strategy. The next moment, three "Haku" simultaneously burst out from different ice mirrors, rushing straight at Naruto! Two of them were water clones, but they were difficult to distinguish at this speed. Since ranged attacks were ineffective, Haku decided to risk close combat and use the indistinguishable feints to create an opportunity.
Even if Naruto discovers his true identity, he is confident that he can use the Ice Mirror to teleport away again.
However, Naruto didn't need to guess at all.
Just as the three "white" figures approached simultaneously, the boiling Nine-Tails chakra around Naruto suddenly erupted violently! A visible, crimson shockwave, mixed with intense heat and impact, spread wildly in all directions like an explosion!
"Hmm!"
Bai, who was directly hit, including his water clones, was unable to maintain his balance in the air. Like falling leaves, he was blown off balance by the violent air wave and sent flying backward! The two water clones disintegrated into clear water with a "poof" the moment they came into contact with the air wave!
"not good!"
Bai tried desperately to adjust his posture in mid-air, but he was completely unable to control his body.
At that very moment, Naruto leaped up and precisely appeared above his out-of-control body. The cloak containing the tailed beast's chakra burned and danced violently, but beneath it, Naruto's face remained unusually calm.
"it's over."
As the calm words fell, a fist enveloped in crimson chakra struck precisely at the mask on the white face!
"Bang!!"
