"Damn it! How did he suddenly get so much stronger?"
Under Naruto's relentless attacks, the regeneration speed of the Ice Mirrors had visibly slowed, even a thick-headed guy like Naruto noticed it.
He thought that if he kept attacking, he might not even need Sakura's help to defeat the ninja and go support Sasuke.
But then, the Ice Mirrors multiplied again, and the dense fog thickened until he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face.
"Naruto, be careful! This guy's Chakra is almost exhausted. He's fighting desperately now!" Sakura warned from behind, her expression tense.
"Chakra exhausted?" Naruto blinked, scratching the back of his head in confusion. "Does this guy have so little Chakra? I haven't even felt like I've used much Chakra myself. I've probably used more than him, right?"
In Naruto's mind, as the one constantly attacking, he should have consumed far more Chakra than the ninja.
Yet he felt like he had barely used any Chakra himself, so he assumed the ninja must still have plenty left.
'I haven't even started trying yet, and you're already collapsing?'
Hearing this, Sakura fell silent for a moment, rolled her eyes, and snapped, "Not everyone's a freak like you, you idiot!"
"Heh heh!" Naruto chuckled, scratching his nose with a smug grin. "Sakura, you can't compare people's—"
"Shut up, moron!" Sakura's forehead veins bulged as she roared, "Don't start spouting your twisted logic again!"
"But Sasuke said it..." Naruto mumbled in protest.
"Oh, Sasuke said it?" Sakura nodded calmly. "Then it's fine!"
'Huh?'
Naruto scratched the back of his head, sensing something was off but unable to pinpoint it. He just felt inexplicably annoyed.
Just as he was about to retort, Sakura's expression turned serious. "Get ready, Naruto!" she shouted. "I'm going to break his ninjutsu!"
Swallowing his retort, Naruto nodded sharply, assuming a battle stance.
"Water Release: Water Gathering Technique!"
Sakura formed a hand seal and chanted softly. A crystal-clear sphere of water materialized before her.
Whoosh!
Sakura raised the water sphere high above her head. As if it were a powerful magnet, the sphere began to exert a tremendous pull on the dense, disorienting mist surrounding them.
A fierce gale howled, and the dense, milky-white mist swirled around them, relentlessly converging into the water sphere like a torrential downpour.
As the water sphere grew larger, the surrounding mist visibly thinned.
The Demonic Ice Crystal Mirror, previously concealed within the fog, was now fully exposed!
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"
Weaving a series of hand seals once more, a water dragon far smaller than a typical Water Dragon Bullet—yet with greater impact force and speed—erupted from the gathered water sphere.
The compact, adult-sized dragon lunged straight toward Haku!
"Naruto, now's your chance!"
"Yosh!"
"Next up is our joint ninja art ultimate technique: Leaf Hurricane Spiral Water Vortex Dragon God!"
Naruto stomped his foot on the water's surface and surged forward, his body spinning like a tornado. He accelerated to catch up with Sakura's earlier water dragon.
Entwining with it in a circular, rotating motion, he immediately conjured a tsunami-like hurricane around the water dragon.
"You're truly a genius at naming things!" Sakura muttered, clutching her forehead in exasperation, unable to resist mocking the ludicrously over-the-top jutsu name.
BOOM!
Naruto's so-called "Leaf Hurricane Spiral Water Vortex Dragon" erupted with tremendous force.
Its speed and power distorted the surrounding air into violent ripples, its destructive might resembling a cataclysmic earthquake.
Haku's face paled dramatically as he faced the technique. Even from a distance, he could feel a savage, tempestuous sea wind crashing down upon him.
The mere residual wind and aura emanating from the attack were enough to send a ninja flying. At its epicenter, one would be torn to shreds!
"This is just a Konoha Village genin?!" Haku muttered in disbelief.
He tried to use his Demonic Ice Crystal Mirror's Mirror Shunshin technique to escape, but found it impossible. He could sense that the attack's range encompassed all his Ice Mirrors, capable of shattering them in a single blow.
"Ice Release: Ice Rock Dome Zero!"
With no escape possible, Haku had no choice but to brace for the impact. He unleashed his strongest defensive technique, creating a thick wall of ice around himself to shield against the enemy's assault.
The moment he activated the technique, darkness swam before his eyes, and he nearly fainted. Only by biting his tongue did he manage to regain consciousness.
At that very moment, Naruto's attack struck!
Boom!
The collision erupted in a deafening explosion. Haku's ice wall barely held for a moment before Naruto's furious roar unleashed a tidal wave of blue chakra with overwhelming force.
The chakra wave shattered all of Haku's defenses.
Haku's once rosy complexion instantly turned deathly pale. His vision blurred, and he collapsed limply to the ground.
Amidst the epic clash on the turbulent sea, merciless lightning draped the misty battlefield in layers of blue-white veils.
The howling wind mingled with the dazzling sparks that erupted from clashing blades, slowly dancing in the air.
The former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist clashed in a life-or-death struggle against the orphaned survivor of the Uchiha clan!
Boom!
Two figures transformed into blazing, blinding bolts of electricity, collided with the thunderous roar of lightning splitting the sea, their collision unleashing a tidal wave of murderous intent.
In less than 0.01 seconds, an eye-searing flash of lightning erupted, detonating the sea surface within a twenty-meter radius. A cataclysmic roar and tsunami-like waves surged outward from the point of impact.
Both combatants were hurled backward simultaneously!
Rising to his feet, Sasuke completely disregarded the bloodstains marring his body.
He fixed his gaze on Kurosuki Raiga in the distance—veins bulging, eyes completely consumed by despair, fury, and overwhelming bloodlust, his face twisted into a hideous grimace.
Sasuke erupted into maniacal laughter.
"Excellent, excellent!"
"This is the true Kurosuki Raiga of the Seven Swordsmen! After a lifetime of running away, you've finally chosen to become a true warrior! Hahahaha!"
"You!" Kurosuki Raiga's eyes widened like copper bells as he stared at the Uchiha youth laughing maniacally.
A flicker of clarity suddenly returned to his despairing heart.
"You did this on purpose?"
Raiga hissed through gritted teeth, a flicker of terror in his eyes.
Upon careful reflection, he realized that every word and action the youth had taken from the beginning seemed deliberately designed to provoke and guide him, to force him to face Sasuke at his absolute peak, ready for a death match!
"You figured it out?" Sasuke's laughter abruptly ceased. "You want to kill me, and I want a worthy opponent. Aren't we perfectly aligned in our desires? Heh."
"Enough talk!"
Sasuke raised the Thunder God Sword, pointing it at Raiga.
"Next strike—a final showdown!"
