HINATA IS BROKEN

Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Uzumaki Naruto: Sensei Kakashi, Too Weak



On the black screen, Uzumaki Naruto's actions didn't initially seem all that impressive to the audience. Most were aware of his mastery of the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, and the fact that Zabuza was immobilized due to the Water Prison Technique made his situation less dire than it appeared.

However, as the battle unfolded, it became clear that Naruto's actions were far from ordinary. The stunned expressions on Zabuza's and Kakashi's faces reflected their complete astonishment. Even Uchiha Sasuke, usually quick to analyze, found himself bewildered.

"How did Naruto do it?" Sasuke wondered aloud. To his untrained eye, it seemed Naruto had thrown five oversized shuriken in quick succession—an almost imperceptible maneuver.

The Clash of Titans

The battle between Kakashi and Zabuza resumed. Both combatants stood firm, their hands rapidly forming seals. Naruto, watching from the sidelines, noticed something strange.

"Am I seeing things, or are their hand seals identical?" Naruto muttered.

What shocked him even more was the sheer number of seals required.

"Forty-four hand seals?" Naruto's eyes widened in disbelief. "Is this really how Jōnin-level battles work? This takes forever! Are they not worried about sneak attacks?"

As the clash intensified, the lake erupted in chaos as Kakashi and Zabuza's Water Dragon Jutsu collided. The massive wave generated by their techniques washed over the lake, leaving Naruto momentarily speechless.

Finally, he nodded in approval.

"Now that's what a proper Jōnin battle should look like!"

Sharingan's Power Revealed

Despite his awe, Naruto couldn't ignore the strange synchronicity in Kakashi's and Zabuza's movements.

"How is Kakashi mimicking him so perfectly?" he wondered aloud.

Sasuke, standing beside him, couldn't resist an opportunity to boast.

"That's the power of the Sharingan," he said smugly. "Kakashi-sensei is copying Zabuza's jutsu in real-time."

Naruto turned to him, unimpressed by Sasuke's prideful tone.

Meanwhile, the audience, both in and out of the narrative, felt uneasy.

"Why does Sasuke keep bragging about the Sharingan to Naruto of all people?" one ninja muttered. "If Naruto gets envious, he might actually take Sasuke's eyes someday!"

Even the Nine Tails, lying dormant within Naruto, voiced its concern.

"Hey, kid," the beast spoke in a deep, menacing tone. "Are you really interested in the Sharingan? Let me warn you, the Uchiha clan carries a curse. Their eyes aren't a gift—they're a burden."

The Nine Tails continued, explaining the cost of wielding Sharingan.

"To evolve their eyes, Uchiha need to endure intense emotional trauma. Without their bloodline, you'll never unlock its full potential. And even Kakashi, with only one Sharingan, is suffering from its drawbacks."

Kakashi's Victory

The fight reached its climax when Kakashi unleashed the Great Waterfall Technique, sending Zabuza flying into a tree. Before Zabuza could recover, Kakashi immobilized him with kunai piercing his limbs.

"It's over," Kakashi said, stepping forward. "Surrender now."

Suddenly, thousands of senbon needles pierced Zabuza's neck. His body fell lifelessly to the ground.

A masked figure appeared, bowing politely.

"I'm from Kirigakure's Anbu. Thank you for your help in dealing with this traitor," the figure said. "I'll be taking his body now."

Kakashi hesitated, recognizing the figure's Kirigakure uniform, but Naruto wasn't convinced.

"Wait a second," Naruto interrupted, narrowing his eyes at the masked ninja. "You've been watching us this whole time, haven't you? You can't just swoop in and take the body after Kakashi-sensei did all the work!"

Sakura chimed in.

"Yeah! Zabuza was defeated by Kakashi-sensei. You have no right to take the body!"

The masked ninja tried to reason with them.

"This is a matter for Kirigakure. If you interfere, it could lead to unnecessary conflict between our villages."

Naruto scoffed.

"Conflict? With Konoha? Do you even know who we are? Our Third Hokage is the strongest shinobi in the world. And if you're implying Kirigakure could stand up to us, you're dreaming."

Naruto's bold declaration stunned everyone. Even the audience felt uneasy.

"Is he really antagonizing an entire village just to prove a point?"

Kakashi's Collapse

Kakashi, sensing the escalating tension, stepped in.

"Naruto, let it go. Give them the body."

Naruto turned to him, incredulous.

"Are you serious, Kakashi-sensei? Why should we back down? Are you really afraid of Kirigakure?"

Before Kakashi could respond, he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura screamed, rushing to his side.

Naruto turned back to the masked ninja, who took advantage of the situation. With a quick series of seals, the figure disappeared, taking Zabuza's body with them.

A Hard Lesson

As the team gathered around their fallen teacher, Naruto couldn't hide his frustration.

"What's wrong with him?"

Sakura explained.

"He overused his Sharingan. It drains a lot of chakra and stamina."

Naruto frowned.

"Is that all it takes to bring him down? Just two jutsu?"

The Nine Tails chuckled darkly.

"See what I mean, kid? Great power always comes with a cost."

Naruto stared at Kakashi's unconscious body, his mind racing. Was this the reality of being a ninja? Was even a Jōnin like Kakashi vulnerable after just a single fight?
