Flame Ninja System

"Kazama, don't let your guard down. The enemy is Momochi…" 

Kakashi turned to look at Kazama as he spoke. 

But when he saw Kazama, now cloaked in mysterious flames and gripping the Kubikiribocho, he realized Kazama had every right to be confident. 

"Kirigakure's rogue ninja, Momochi Zabuza!" 

Kazama called out, eyeing Zabuza perched on a tree while tightly holding the massive blade. 

"Interesting! A little brat like you knows my name? Did I maybe slaughter your family or something?" 

Zabuza was inwardly freaking out—his prized Kubikiribocho had been snatched right at the start. 

But to keep from looking weak, he forced himself to act calm. 

"Hmph! You don't have the strength to touch my family." 

"Enough talk! Hand over the Kubikiribocho now, and maybe I'll be kind enough to leave your corpse in one piece." 

"Funny, I've never been a fan of keeping my corpse intact. If you can tear me limb from limb, I'd actually thank you for it!" 

"Sharp tongue, huh? Let's see how I deal with you!" 

Zabuza darted onto the lake's surface, his hands already weaving signs. 

"He's standing on water?!" 

To Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, who'd never seen anything like this, Zabuza's move completely blew their minds. 

"Suiton: Hidden Mist Jutsu!" 

As Zabuza finished his hand signs, a thick fog rolled in, swallowing everyone's line of sight. 

"Crap! Zabuza's best at using this jutsu to blind his enemies and strike from the shadows. Looks like I'll have to use my Sharingan!" 

Kakashi reached for his headband, ready to uncover his Sharingan to track Zabuza. 

"No need for you to step in, Kakashi-sensei. I've got this!" 

Hearing Kazama say he'd take on Zabuza alone made Kakashi uneasy. 

"Kazama, I know you're strong, but the Hidden Mist Jutsu's blocking your vision. How are you going to fight him?" 

"No jutsu can block *these* eyes!" 

"Mangekyo Sharingan, activate!" 

"What?!" 

Kakashi's gaze snapped to Kazama's eyes. 

He watched as Kazama's normal pupils turned a vivid crimson, forming the three-tomoe Sharingan. 

Then, the tomoe spun rapidly, morphing into a three-bladed shuriken pattern. 

*"Is this the legendary Mangekyo Sharingan, the ultimate dojutsu said to pierce through the three realms and shake the heavens?!"* 

Kazama's endless array of ninjutsu had already left Kakashi stunned. 

But now, seeing that Kazama possessed a Mangekyo Sharingan even stronger than his own Sharingan? Kakashi was utterly floored, full of admiration. 

"Kakashi-sensei, you stay with Naruto and the others. I'll handle Zabuza." 

"Susanoo!" 

With a shout, Kazama summoned the skeletal frame of Susanoo, encircling Kakashi and the team. 

His goal was to shield them from any of Zabuza's attacks. 

Even just the skeleton form, with Susanoo's insane defensive power, was more than enough to fend off Zabuza. 

Truth be told, with Kazama's strength, beating Zabuza didn't need to be this complicated. 

A single Raikiri Kirin or summoning thousands of wolves, tigers, and leopards with his Myriad Beast Spirit Flame would've torn Zabuza to shreds. 

But Kazama's plan from the start was to recruit Zabuza. 

So he needed to flex his overwhelming power to intimidate him. 

That way, bringing Zabuza to his side later would be a piece of cake. 

Just then, a voice called out from behind Kazama.
