Naruto: Wood-Wood Fruit

Steam filled the air, thick mist spreading out.

With mist rolling in heavily, Zabuza didn't waste a moment. 

Without hesitation, he activated the Hidden Mist Jutsu.

"This… this is the Hidden Mist Jutsu." 

The entire forest began to be enveloped by fog, thickening at a rapid, visible rate. 

What started as a light mist soon became dense enough to make it impossible to see one's hand in front of their face. 

Yugao felt a shiver run up her spine. She gripped her blade tightly, issuing a warning, "Zabuza is a master of the Silent Killing Technique. Everyone, be careful." 

"The Inuzuka Brothers…. it's up to you now." 

"Woof, woof." 

Hana held a kunai defensively, communicating with her three ninja dogs.

Suddenly, Zabuza's voice drifted through the mist, eerie and dripping with killing intent. 

"I don't know why Konoha sent such delicate women here to meet their end, but I won't be holding back." 

"Eight spots... the throat, spine, lungs, liver, kidneys, and heart."

Zabuza's voice taunted them like a cat playing with a mouse, listing potential attack points to intimidate his targets. 

"You talk too much."

Kurenai interrupted without hesitation, her red eyes peering through the thick fog. 

Her hands already formed seals, and she turned to her left, locking onto Zabuza's position. 

She took a deep breath, then released it. 

"Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu." 

"Whoosh—"

Flames roared to life, forming a fearsome dragon head that surged fiercely towards Zabuza, who was attempting to sneak around from the left, his decapitating sword raised.

"What?" 

"Boom!"

"Aah..." 

A wave of intense heat swept through, and a pained scream echoed as Zabuza's figure was swallowed by flames, sword and all. 

The mist around them dissipated quickly under the heat, clearing up the team's vision. 

Just a few meters away to their left, thick smoke rose, with flickering embers hinting at scorched ground. 

"A water clone?" Kurenai noted, her expression calm as she looked further ahead.

"Swish..."

Zabuza's true form appeared several meters away near the river, his gaze dark and menacing as he gripped his executioner's blade. 

"You actually saw through my Silent Killing Technique?" 

Had he not been cautious enough to use a water clone as a decoy, he would have been in serious trouble.

"Water Style: Waterfall Basin!"

Wasting no time, Zabuza's hands blurred in a series of seals.

"Rumble…" 

The river behind him suddenly surged into a powerful torrent, crashing forward with a terrifying force like a tidal wave. 

It rushed toward Kurenai, Yugao, Inuzuka Hana, and the others with a crushing momentum.

"Earth Style: Mud Wall." 

Kurenai's eyes narrowed. Without hesitation, she slapped the ground. Her red eyes, sharp as ever, tracked Zabuza's chakra movements. 

She had already anticipated his jutsu by observing his hand seals, a skill honed from countless battles in the world of Tsukuyomi. 

As Zabuza's hand seals neared completion, Kurenai's own seals were already in place.

"Boom!"

The earth trembled.

A massive wall of rock shot up, towering like a mountain, lifting Kurenai, Yugao, Hana, Anko, and the others to higher ground.

The crashing waterfall struck against the sturdy rock wall, but couldn't break through.

Hana transformed, growing sharp fangs and claws, radiating wild, animalistic energy. She looked entirely different, more fierce and intense.

"Alright… Human Beast Jutsu."

In a puff of smoke, her three ninja dogs transformed, mirroring her appearance and shifting into full battle mode.

"They dodged Lord Zabuza's attack. again?" 

Haku, watching nearby, looked on in stunned silence.

"You don't have time to worry about them." 

Four identical figures surged forward, each spinning wildly.

The four "Hanas" crashed in, leaving only blurred afterimages in their wake. 

"Boom!"

Caught off guard, Haku was sent flying, only to dissolve into water upon impact. His real form appeared a few meters away.

"Secret Jutsu: A Thousand Needles of Death." 

"Whoosh, whoosh, Whoosh..."

Water droplets gathered, forming thousands of needles that shot through the air like a deadly rain, glinting menacingly.

Hana and her three ninja dogs, who had been ready to press their attack, quickly dodged the needles but were forced to distance themselves from Haku once again.

"Crescent Moon Dance!"

At that moment, three swift figures closed in. 

Yugao and her shadow clones wielded swords, the blades tracing a crescent-shaped arc that radiated a bone-chilling aura. 

Haku's eyes narrowed, his expression shifting as he rapidly formed seals. 

"Secret Jutsu: Crystal Ice Mirrors."

A massive ice wall materialized, blocking Yugao's attack. 

"What?"

"Ice Release?" 

At that moment, Yugao, Hana, Kurenai, and the others' eyes widened in shock.

They hadn't expected the masked, young ninja before them to possess the rare Kekkei Genkai, Ice Release.

"Zabuza, you're really failing out there, aren't you?"

Crackling lightning lit up the scene.

Raiga, wielding the twin swords, taunted Zabuza from the side. 

His body sparked with arcs of electricity as he charged in like a beast.

"Heh."

Anko grinned with excitement. 

Her hands flashed through seals, and she exhaled, "Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu."

"Whoosh, Whoosh..."

A volley of blazing flames spun forward, each wrapped around a shuriken that flew at Raiga at lightning speed.

"Boom! Boom!"

Raiga's expression darkened as he was forced to dodge, his pace slowing.

"Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!"

Anko thrust out her right hand. 

Two thick, venomous snakes shot out, coiling and snapping toward Raiga.

"Sss.. sss…." 

The snakes were struck by his electric blade, charring them on the spot. Raiga sliced them into pieces with ease, his grim expression cold and merciless.

He lunged at Anko, his blades pulsing with blinding electricity, casting a pale glow across the battlefield.

"Die, woman."
