Chapter 37: The Counterattack
His own speed was not enough. He wanted his body to have enough resistance to the electricity formed by lightning attribute chakra. He wanted to reach the level where the lightning would not cause any harm to his body at all.
He wanted his cells and muscles to be awakened. He needed to master the nature transformation of lightning chakra to the level where he could use the Chidori. Only by completing these conditions would he be able to complete the real Chidori. Right now, Ryoha was only just started. If he didn't know many things about Chidori, he would not necessarily be able to learn by looking at it once.
It might have been a blow for him. Ever since Kakashi used the Chidori last time, every time he saw Ryoha, he would hide away as if he had seen a ghost. The three brats were confused. They didn't know why Kakashi was so afraid of Ryoha. Of course, they didn't know that Kakashi had suffered a great blow.
Ryoha could only rely on himself after he knew that he couldn't train his jutsu with Kakashi. Kakashi did his best not to kill himself. Moreover, if he made Kakashi use Chidori one more time, then wouldn't his intentions be discovered by everyone?
He could get away the first time he asked him by saying that he wanted to see it out of curiosity. If he asked for the second time, Kakashi would suspect him. Ryoha controlled his pace really well. He would not let Kakashi think that he had some ulterior motives, so he would not dislike him.
Thus, in this week, apart from the usual training, Ryoha practiced his Chidori every day in secret according to what Kakashi had shown him before.
Ryoha used his Sharingan to recall the appearance of Chidori at that time. Of course, it was just the appearance. So every time he trained his Chidori, he would compare the incomplete product in his hand with the real Chidori that Kakashi showed him before and constantly improve it.
A week had passed in the blink of an eye. Kakashi's body had completely recovered. At the same time, he was ready to fight. Thus, he followed Tazuna to the bridge that needed repairing while protecting him at the same time.
"Why? What's going on?" Other than Naruto who was still sleeping, Ryoha and the others had already arrived on the bridge. However, all the workers there were injured and were lying on the ground, screaming in pain.
Suddenly, the clear sky was slowly clouded and soon filled with fog.
"As expected, he didn't die. Zabuza was alive and well. Moreover, this time, he will definitely not be defeated easily like the last time. Also, the kid beside him is definitely not an ordinary kid. Sasuke, Sakura, you two protect Tazuna. Ryoha, you go and deal with that kid. Of course, if you are not a match for her, Sasuke and Sakura will join in to help.
Kakashi's order made Sasuke unhappy. In his opinion, after training for a week, his strength would definitely be stronger.
"Kakashi, you guys have been waiting for me for a long time, but you really are the same as before, bringing these brats around." The sound of Zabuza came from all directions, and at the same time, many water clones appeared.
"Sasuke, don't move." Kakashi's words made Sasuke very happy. He immediately attacked, and these water clones were quickly dealt with.
"Not bad. You actually defeated all the water clones. It seems like you have improved quite a bit compared to before. Haku, it seems that today, apart from dealing with that person called Ryoha, you also have this little brat."
Zabuza pointed at Sasuke. In the original story, Haku and Sasuke had never been ruthless in their battles. They had always been lenient in every way. Otherwise, they would have died countless times. This time, with Ryoha around, Haku wouldn't be able to hold back even if she wanted to.
"Originally, I thought I could hold back. Now, it seems like I really met a formidable opponent today." Haku did not take the current Sasuke seriously.
Although he had improved a lot, he was not there yet. Even if Sasuke had awakened his Sharingan, he could only use his Sharingan's perception to block Haku's needles at best. Moreover, whether Sasuke could awaken his Sharingan or not was still a problem.
"I didn't expect that you still intend to hold back against the enemy. That is not a good thing." Zabuza's tone was a bit fierce. Haku's body trembled. She knew that Zabuza was angry.
The opponents she had faced all along were actually lenient, including Sasuke and Naruto in the original work. After awakening the Sharingan, Sasuke also showed mercy.
Otherwise, she would have killed Sasuke, who had awakened the Sharingan with her Ice Release jutsus. She knew that today, whether it was because of Zabuza's order, or because of Ryoha's powerful strength, no matter what the reason, she could not hold back unless she wanted to die.
"Hey, Ryoha, leave her to me." Sasuke was a typical villain. When his strength improved, he immediately felt a little complacent. He thought that he was the boss, but Ryoha did not care. It was good to let this idiot suffer a bit. He knew that this time, Haku would definitely not hold back like the original work.
"You might be a formidable opponent at normal times, but I'm sorry. This time, I won't hold back. I have to deal with you immediately."
Haku's voice suddenly became a bit heavy. Obviously, she knew that she had to be serious this time. She had to go all out because there was also Ryoha, who had also become stronger. She had to deal with Sasuke as soon as possible to fight Ryoha with all her strength seriously.
"Humph, don't underestimate me." Sasuke pulled out his kunai and rushed over. Haku's speed suddenly reached its maximum. According to the original story, she was not using the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals seriously, so she was slower than Sasuke. But this time, she was serious and did not show any mercy.
Thousands of needles completely suppressed Sasuke. At the same time, she clenched her fist with her other hand and hit Sasuke's face at an astonishing speed. In the original story, It was Haku who was hit in the face by Sasuke because she held back. Now, since she didn't hold back, it was Sasuke who was hit in the face.
"So fast." Originally, Sasuke, who thought that the training improved his strength and who was still complacent just now, immediately realized that his power was still far away from Haku. He was still too weak. The enemy had not used any ninjutsu yet. He could see that Haku was better at ninjutsu. Otherwise, she would not have been able to use B-rank ninjutsu that he could not use.
"Hey, little genius, do you still have the strength to fight? If you don't, I'll make my move." Ryoha said with a bit of amusement.
"Hmph, the Fire Release, Fireball Jutsu." Sasuke snorted coldly. He stood up and quickly formed a seal. As the pride of the Uchiha clan, he did not allow himself to be scared.
