Ch. 22: Zero Visibility: The Sharingan Shatters

3rd POV

Naruto, Sasuke, and y/n secretly smirk on Haku's last statement.

"Sasuke, Naruto, y/n! Take this guy out! You can do it!" They all heard Sakura yelling out to them.

"Don't Sakura. Don't push them." Mr. Kaka scolded her, glaring at Zabuza.

Sakura glances at her sensei questionably. "Huh?"

"Even if they somehow found a way to overcome the mirror jutsu, they still couldn't defeat this ninja." His tone is sharp for being serious about their predicament, especially y/n's.

"Huh? How can you be so sure?"

Zabuza laughs darkly with his broad shoulders shaking.

Kakashi continues while glaring harder towards his enemy. "They have the desire to win, but they don't have the instinct to kill."

She gazes at her sensei, getting even more scared for her teammates.

"That boy is a whole other breed. He lives for pain, he thrives on it."

Zabuza lifts his head and stares at Kakashi. "Exactly, your village has become complacent. Your trainees never learn the most important lesson of all... To kill the feelings in their own hearts, to crush an opponent mercilessly, to destroy with no emotion or regret." With that, his dark chakra peeks out from his body and moves with the wind like a flame.

Sakura gasps, "But then, Sensei! What are we gonna do?! Please tell us!"

Kakashi begins to visualize scenarios of his plan in his mind. 'I can make a break, to save them all. But he'd slay the bridge builder. If I use shadow clones... nah, he'd just match them with his water clones. I'd be wasting chakra. *Chuckles* So I have no choice..." Kakashi lifts his hand towards his headband and holds onto it. 'It's me or Zabuza, here and now. I'll have to do this, the hard way.'

'The Sharingan...' Sakura thought with hope.

Zabuza chuckles lowly, "Sharingan... You're no fun Kakashi. Using the same old trick."

During the moment of silence, Zabuza places his right hand in his pocket and makes a run for it towards Kakashi, who did not expect this at all. As he keeps running, he brings out his sharp, pointy kunai getting ready to slash him. Kakashi did not show any signs of movement and waits for him to come closer. As Zabuza swings his kunai, Kakashi quickly protects his Sharingan eye with his metal glove hand, palm facing outward.

"Sensei no!" Sakura cried out.

The kunai pierces through Kakashi's hand, making drops of his blood falling to the ground staining it red.

"If it's just an old trick, why did you just stop me?" Kakashi interrogated while glaring daggers at him.

Zabuza chuckles with the sound of Kakashi's blood trickling down his arm. "Let your opponent see your jutsu too many times and he'll find a way to use it against you." The outline of his evil smirk shows through his bandages.

"Then count yourself lucky, you're the only man alive who's seen my Sharingan twice. Shows over. There won't be a third time."

Zabuza chuckles darkly again. "Even if you did defeat me, you'd have no chance against Haku."

Sakura who is watching their standoff on the sidelines gasps in horror.

The pinkette turns her head towards the ice mirrors getting even more worried about her friends. 'Is that possible? That boy in the mask is stronger than Kakashi sensei?'
