Chapter 262

Before Bee could prepare himself, wisps of white mist suddenly moved without wind, and began to slowly condense before him, finally condensing into a thin shadow.

I don't know why, the moment this mist shadow appeared, the temperature in the air couldn't help but drop a few degrees; at first glance, the figure appearing here now had more components of a "ghost" than a "human."

"Zabuza, not bad."

"This entrance is quite stylish."

Hoshigaki Kisame on the other side praised, his eyes looking at Zabuza with a bit more heat.

He could feel that Zabuza's aura was much stronger now.

Short black hair, the headband with the Hidden Mist symbol worn slightly to the left on his forehead, the lower half of his face and neck wrapped in bandages, he always carried a cold chill like a fierce ghost.

"Demon" Momochi Zabuza, who else could it be?

"A monster from the Hidden Mist, another one..."

Looking at this ferocious figure that looked more like a ghost than a human, Bee recited in his heart.

Bee also knew that it looked like the opponent he was about to face was this guy who was neither human nor ghost.

Finally, Bee's gaze stayed on the weapon carried on Zabuza's back.

This was a weapon with very distinctive features; from the appearance, it looked somewhat like the traditional weapon "Jitte."

The so-called Jitte is a "fork"-shaped weapon formed by a handle and two blades, one short and one long; the short blade generally acts like a "handguard" before the long blade (a weapon like a fork in the hands of a certain ghost in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).

But looking closely, one would find that the Jitte on Zabuza's back was not sharpened; both the short blade and the long blade looked incomparably smooth.

At first glance, it looked like an "electric baton."

"What is this thing again?"

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart; just from the first contact, Bee felt that the opponent before him was like a puzzle, making people confused.

In the previous Hidden Mist, Zabuza's strength had always firmly occupied the third tier, below Hoshigaki Kisame and Kaguya Yuta.

But for these three months, having experienced Mizunuki Ryosuke's (760) hellish training, Momochi Zabuza had completely completed the transformation!

The current Momochi Zabuza was no longer the Momochi Zabuza from before.

"After killing this kid, I will definitely accompany Big Brother Kisame to play well!"

Momochi Zabuza turned around and said to Kisame behind him in a cold tone filled with ghost energy.

Before this, Zabuza, who also belonged to the White Shark Unit, had often been bloodily abused by Hoshigaki Kisame in "sparring contests."

Now that his strength had improved, the first thing Zabuza thought of was to get back at Hoshigaki Kisame.

"Haha..."

"That's more like it, Zabuza."

A hint of intensity flashed in Kisame's eyes, and a ferocious arc lifted from the corner of his mouth.

After interacting with Hoshigaki Kisame, Zabuza turned his gaze to the opponent before him.

"Black-skinned kid from the Cloud, I am your opponent."

Zabuza said rebelliously, his cold and chilling eyes perfectly interpreting what is called a "fierce ghost."

Under the foil of the thin mist around, Momochi Zabuza looked even more eerie at this moment.

Facing Zabuza's nickname that was full of contempt, a hint of chill also appeared in Bee's eyes.

"Oh? Bandaged kid from the Cloud, you are very arrogant."

Bee retorted without any politeness, which also made the atmosphere between the two increasingly sinister.

Immediately, the auras of the two collided back and forth in the air like the tips of needles against the points of wheat.

For a time, in the eyes of everyone, the confronting Momochi Zabuza and Bee no longer looked like two humans, but a ferocious fierce ghost and a fierce tiger.

During the confrontation between the two, Hozuki Mangetsu on the side waved his hand.

The dozen or so Mist Mist Anbu ninjas who came with him formed seals simultaneously, and a transparent barrier enveloped the two who were confronting each other.

The purpose of this barrier was to prevent the two's battle from accidentally injuring others later.

"Since it's a contest, then stop when it's enough."

"I, in the capacity of the Hidden Mist Mist Anbu Commander, will act as the referee for your match."

"If either side loses consciousness or is knocked out of the barrier, it counts as a failure."

"What do you think?"

After the barrier was set up, Hozuki Mangetsu said to the two in the barrier with a calm expression.

"Of course."

Momochi Zabuza responded first.

"I agree too."

Bee followed closely.

"Since that's the case, don't waste time."

"I announce the start of the contest."

Hozuki Mangetsu said indifferently, his eyes looking at Momochi Zabuza and Bee still flat.

It seemed that the person who could attract his attention had not appeared here.

As Hozuki Mangetsu's voice fell, the battle between the two officially began.

Bee still adopted the strategy that had been tried and tested before; the moment the battle started, he instantly stimulated his speed to the limit with lightning armor and flew toward Zabuza.

A purple lightning bolt arrived instantly, and the terrifying speed and momentum made people outside the barrier feel their scalps tingle.

"CRACKLE!!!"

At a speed invisible to the naked eye, Bee swung his hand blade with the momentum of thunder toward Zabuza, who was stunned in place.

Regarding this, Zabuza looked as if he had been scared silly, still standing in place without moving.

But the eyes he used to look at Bee at this moment were even more sinister.

"SWISH!"

Bee's hand blade with the momentum of thunder swept across Zabuza's body, but it was as if it had swept across the air; it didn't touch a physical entity at all!

Bee's pupils contracted slightly, his eyes full of disbelief.

The next second, Zabuza, who was in place, turned into a mass of mist and disappeared.

Subsequently, wisps of white mist condensed a brand new Momochi Zabuza on the other side.

Back and forth, the two were equivalent to just swapping positions.

Momochi Zabuza, who had condensed his figure again, looked at Bee on the other side with an evil gaze, as if he were looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"This is impossible!"

"How did he do it?"

For a time, facing Zabuza's ghostly means, Bee couldn't grasp it, and for a time, he couldn't launch an attack rashly.

"Black-skinned kid, witness what fear is."

Zabuza's evil and fierce voice reached Bee's ears, and subsequently, he quickly began to form seals with both hands.

Secret Technique: Ghost Mist Jutsu!

As Zabuza finished forming seals, the thin mist in the air began to become incomparably thick, and the visibility in the air gradually became less than five meters.

Zabuza's figure also disappeared into the thick fog.

"Throat, heart, head, spleen, spine..."

"Tell me, where should I start with you?"

Zabuza's ghost-like voice sounded in the fog, and the words full of killing intent were just like a fierce ghost that had just escaped from hell.

"Playing god and playing ghost!"

Bee cursed in his heart; how could he not know the Hidden Mist's signature ninjutsu, Hidden Mist Jutsu.

It was just Hidden Mist Jutsu; he possessed multiple ways to break it.

Hidden Mist Jutsu is like a daily meal for Mist ninjas, and even ninjas who have dealt with Mist ninjas know what Hidden Mist Jutsu is all about.

It was just a secret technique used to block sight and hide traces.

Ninjas from major countries often have their own ways when facing Hidden Mist Jutsu.

The best way to deal with Hidden Mist Jutsu is to use powerful Wind Release to blow away the thick fog, but it's a pity that Bee himself does not have the Wind Release attribute.

For Momochi Zabuza, who released Hidden Mist Jutsu to hide his figure, Bee was not in a hurry; with the defense and speed of the lightning armor.

He could completely achieve counter-attacking after the opponent.

"SWISH!"

A sharp wind-breaking sound suddenly came from the air, and relying on his keen hearing, Bee reacted immediately.
