Fate DxD

Chapter 95

Haku raises his head, looking into the eyes of the young man who has destroyed his mirror prison with ease.

"I need to get stronger."

"The most unpredictable member of the team..." Haku murmurs.

From a distance, Senji notices Zabuza's gaze, which throws shurikens straight at them. Seeing this, Haku frees himself from the wire and throws needles in his turn. Senji prepare to pull out the Rho Aias shield, but Haku's needles contact Zabuza's shurikens, which stop their progress and fall to the ground in front of them.

(He stopped them on purpose?) Senji wonders.

"Haku... What are you playing at?" Zabuza asks.

"Sorry, Zabuza... Leave it to me." Haku replied, rising to his feet. "I want to fight them my way."

"...You don't want me to touch it, is that it?" Zabuza wondered. "Decidedly, you're too lenient with them..."

Senji turned to Sasuke, looking at all the scars on his body.

"Indeed, he's rather indulgent, sorry I didn't get there sooner..." he says.

"You're here much faster than I expected." He smiles at me.

"Sasuke-kun! How do you feel?!" Sakura runs to us, inspecting his wounds.

"Stay focused, he's going to attack." Senji warns, projecting a sword in his hand.

The three students get into position, seeing Haku quickly perform handsigns. Then he taps his foot, freezing the ground in front of him and spreading to them. Surprisingly, they don't freeze, nor do they cling to the ground, just a great wave of cold passes over them, severely lowering the temperature.

Then a dozen mirrors appear, much more widely spaced this time, making their destruction more complex. Seeing this, Senji starts projecting weapons above him, but he's too slow, needles are thrown, so fast that the three don't see them coming, getting scarred, falling to the ground from the pain.

"Of course he wouldn't let me do the same..." Senji stands up, gritting his teeth.

"If they're clones, then we need to find the original!" Sakura exclaims.

"You'll never find it with the naked eye." Haku warns. "It's impossible to catch me."

His voice echoes across the deck, forcing them to look in all directions, paying attention to every mirror above them. The attacks return in full force. Needles lacerating and penetrating their bodies. Under the waves of needles, Senji projects a bow and arrow.

Sakura steps forward and creates two clones, leaping onto the nearest mirrors to destroy them. But Haku is quicker, throwing his needles making the clones disappear instantly. Then a new wave of needles lacerates them.

"I use mirrors, which reflect only me to move around." Haku explains. "And at the speed I move, you're so slow you'd think you were immobile."

"There are no clones...?" Sakura is surprised.

"How can he be so fast..." Sasuke stands up, hopeless.

"Such a technique... That's what I thought..." Senji murmurs.

"It's incredible that such a young boy could master such a technique..." Kakashi remarked.

"Hahahahaha..." Zabuza laughs mournfully.

"Such a technique?" Sakura repeats, listening to the conversation.

"It's a hereditary technique." Kakashi announced. "This boy comes from a very ancient lineage; his ancestors possessed extraordinary powers. This technique is passed down from generation to generation, it's the only way to master it."
