Chapter 7: Just Left Like That?

Seeing the Plague Doctor suddenly filled with immense rage, the few people present all stepped back, and Kakashi also prepared for battle.

Although the Plague Doctor had previously appeared extremely kind, Kakashi's heart remained full of vigilance toward him.

Looking at the Plague Doctor in such a state of fury.

At this moment, Naruto seemed to feel that the current Plague Doctor was no longer the uncle who had joked with him before.

But rather a monster filled with terror.

Just then, a massive cleaver suddenly flew toward Kakashi and the others.

Upon seeing the cleaver approach, the group all threw themselves to the ground to dodge.

The Plague Doctor, however, did not dodge in the slightest, staring blankly as the great blade flew toward him.

Just when everyone thought the Plague Doctor was surely dead, something that would shock them for a hundred years occurred.

The Plague Doctor caught the flying cleaver with a single hand, yet suffered not even a scratch himself.

"Damn, did I see that right? He caught that attack bare-handed, and didn't even move?"

"This guy has no chakra, knows no ninjutsu, yet possesses such incredible strength; could he be a body cultivator?"

"Body cultivator? Have you ever seen a body cultivator that powerful? Didn't you see even Kakashi dodge? I suspect he isn't human at all."

Just as everyone felt stunned.

A burly man with short black hair, his lower face and neck wrapped in bandages, appeared before them.

The instant the man appeared, Yuan Shi of the Hidden Mist Village instantly widened his eyes.

His right hand trembling as he pointed at the man on the light screen.

"Zabuza!!!"

Zabuza, one of the missing-nin from the Hidden Mist Village, a Jonin of great power, who had once assassinated a Konoha Special Jonin carrying out espionage missions in the Hidden Mist Village.

He was also one of the second generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

The Hidden Mist Village had once dispatched large numbers of people to hunt down Zabuza, only to return unsuccessful each time; never did they expect to see Zabuza here today.

Although Yuan Shi's heart was currently extremely excited, he still wanted to see who would win if Zabuza and Kakashi were to fight.

Moreover, this suddenly appearing Plague Doctor added considerable fun and uncertainty to this battle.

At this moment, upon seeing Zabuza appear, Kakashi instantly sensed danger and immediately pulled up his forehead protector to reveal the legendary Sharingan.

It was precisely this Sharingan that was the main reason Kakashi became a famously renowned ninja in the ninja world.

At this moment, looking at Kakashi revealing his Sharingan, and then looking at the Plague Doctor staring intently at him.

Although Zabuza did not know why the Plague Doctor could withstand his surprise attack, he still possessed strong confidence in his own abilities.

Just as Zabuza began to perform hand seals for a ninjutsu, preparing to act and eliminate Kakashi and his group.

The Plague Doctor suddenly moved.

In merely an instant, the Plague Doctor appeared behind Zabuza.

And the moment Zabuza sensed the Plague Doctor appear behind him, his eyes instantly widened.

Before Zabuza could even react, the Plague Doctor extended his five fingers, which looked like tree branches, and lightly tapped Zabuza's body.

Immediately after.

"Thud!"

The once-great Jonin Zabuza fell stiffly to the ground just like that; clearly, he was dead.

Everyone present, as well as those watching from outside, stood frozen in shock on the spot.

No one could believe that someone capable of forcing Kakashi to reveal his Sharingan had been killed so simply by the Plague Doctor.

"This... this can't be possible!"

"Brother, slap me, quick! Tell me this isn't a dream!"

"Oh my god, Zabuza, this is Zabuza we're talking about; how could he be killed in one blow by this guy!"

In the Hidden Mist Village.

Upon seeing Zabuza actually killed by the Plague Doctor with just a light touch.

Yuan Shi actually plopped straight down onto the ground, his eyes filled entirely with disbelief.

Poor old man, at such an advanced age he still had to suffer such a shock.

Like Yuan Shi, everyone in the Hidden Mist Village, upon witnessing this scene, stood frozen in place, constantly swallowing hard.

If people from other places did not know Zabuza's strength, the people of the Hidden Mist Village knew his power all too well.

A person so powerful that he could escape from under the Mizukage's nose was actually killed so simply by someone?

Without any resistance?

This is blatantly unscientific!

At the same time, the Third Hokage, upon seeing this scene, was also filled with shock.

The Third Hokage still understood Zabuza's capabilities quite well.

If he were to fight Kakashi, their strengths should be evenly matched.

(Well... although anyone fighting Kakashi seems to be evenly matched.)

But, for someone so powerful to be killed like this without even having time to unleash a single ninjutsu?

Just how terrifying is this Plague Doctor?

Now, one could only pray that the Plague Doctor bore no malice toward Kakashi and his group.
