145. Zabuza Momochi


    <span style="font-weight:400">Once again Tomoka couldn’t help but vibrate in ce from excitement. It had been this morning they had finallynded in thend of waves. Now it was only a matter of time until Zabuza momochi would appear.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Everyone get down!” Shouted Yamato as he detected arge projectile closing in on them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">To everyone’s surprise, except for Tomoka of course, a massive sword came spinning at them. Should it hit any of them chances were they would be bisected. However, Tomoka felt like making a disy of the situation.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Unlike everyone else Tomoka didn’t crouch but instead backhanded the de with enough force to send it back to its origin. Surprised, everyone including Zabuza looked towards Tomoka’s hand which at the moment of impact became covered with her ck chitin armor.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Throwing away your main weapon isn’t the smart idea mister. Next time you should throw a fuma shuriken or something.” Hearing Tomoka’s nonchnt words made Zabuza increase her danger rating in his mind.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He had never seen a jutsu that could generate that strange armor and so hecked vital info on it. Not only that but the fact the other two kids seemed just as rxed made him reconsider their danger level as well. They didn’t look arrogant or over confident demonstrated by their readiness forbat.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Zabuza Momochi, the exiled ninja from Kiri.” Yamato was also surprised by Tomoka’s actions. Even though he knew she could use this armor she had never used them during practice.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Oh? My fame precedes me I see. Though unfortunately I do not recognize you.” Normally Zabuza wouldn’t talk this much but his gut was telling him to be wary. He wanted to gather as much information on his foes before the confrontation.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hinata, you are in charge of protecting Tazuna directly. Nozomi support, Yamato sensei I take it you would rather be the one in direct confrontation.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Yes.” Though he should be the one giving the orders at this point he didn’t bother with it. Tomoka’s orders were pretty much the same as what he would have said. He was thankful for this since he would rather keep all of his attention on his foe as of now.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Then talk time is over.” Like that mist began appearing out of nowhere. Yamato and Tomoka expected this as they knew about Zabuza beforehand, not to mention this is a verymon jutsu for Kiri-nin.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Hinata for her part didn’t waste a second in activating her byakugan. The mist was a bit troublesome as it is charged with chakra making even her sight with byakugan a bit blurry. Nozomi on the other hand felt ufortable. Without line of sight her sharingan would be close to obsolete. Thankfully she had listened to Tomoka in the past.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Tomoka had drilled into the two girls the importance of their other senses. Afterall, with such powerful dojutsus it would be easy for them to be over reliant on them. That''s why she had bea- trained them with their eyes blindfolded.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Tension filled the air as everyone looked around waryly. Tomoka could have activated her Kinegan and would have been able to easily find Zabuza but she still had trouble with the overload of information. Instead she focused on what she knew about canon.


    <span style="font-weight:400">As expected a momentter Zabusa appeared behind Hinata in between her and Tazuna. Though he didn’t expect what followed. In an instant Hinata’s demeanor changed. Her tense muscles rxed as she moved with ease and speed. An open palm aimed for his stomach as the Hyuga girl infused it with her chakra.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Seeing this Zabuza tried to attack Hinata with his sword only for it to fail as Nozomi shot a wind bullet at the de deviating its course. With no other option Zabuza jumped away, disappearing once again inside the mist.
