In Naruto: Reborn with a Chat Group-Chapter 145 - 144: Ruining Zabuza’s Entrance

Kakashi's gaze hardened as he stared at the snow-white rabbit. His instincts had been on edge ever since they arrived. He had felt someone watching them from the shadows.

And now, he understood why.

Something was wrong with this rabbit.

The fur color was unnatural. Snow rabbits only turn white during winter when there's little daylight.

But this wasn't winter.

That meant the rabbit had been raised indoors, away from sunlight, a clear sign that it was being used as a substitution target.

Kakashi's body tensed as he thought, 'So, they are here already....'

Somewhere in the shadows, Zabuza was watching, silently observing his targets.

[Uchiha Madara: Kid, looks like you're in danger again. This time, it's a slightly stronger piece of trash. It might be a problem for others... but it'll be a walk in the park for you!]

[Ito Makoto: Grandpa Madara, so even you think he's strong? Perfect! He'll be my first subordinate!]

[Uchiha Madara: Hmph! A stronger piece of trash is still just trash. One punch should be enough to deal with him.]

[Senju Tobirama: Madara, save the flexing for later. But Makoto, what do you mean by subordinate? Also... do you already know who the enemy is?]

[Uchiha Shisui: Lord Second, I think Makoto is planning to use Kotoamatsukami on the enemy and bring him under his control.]

[Ito Makoto: Bingo! My Kotoamatsukami doesn't have some ridiculous years-long cooldown, after all. Besides, Kage-level ninjas aren't easy to come across.]

[Controlling a few Elite Jonin is much more practical. Just Imagine it. A personal squad of Elite Jonin follows me wherever I go... wouldn't that be amazing?]

[Hyuga Hizashi: Kotoamatsukami is terrifying. The enemy hasn't even appeared yet, and you're already considering him your subordinate...]

[Ito Makoto: And the best part is, I can use it every few months. Uncle Hizashi, if you don't approve of me and Hinata being together in the future... I might just use Kotoamatsukami on you and let you reunite with your brother to fulfill your greatest wish.]

[Hyuga Hizashi: WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY?! You dare threaten me?! Fine! If you're going to use Kotoamatsukami on me, then do it! But I will NEVER accept you being with my niece! EVER! Even if you use it on my brother to get his approval, I still won't agree!]

[Ito Makoto: Uh... Uncle Hizashi, what do you mean? Why would I ever use Kotoamatsukami on my future father-in-law? Wait... don't tell me...]

[Uchiha Izuna: Ohh... he's saying there's no need to use it on him. Since he willingly gave up his life for his brother, he's indirectly suggesting it would be way more effective to use it on his brother instead.]

[Senju Tobirama: Damn! I never thought Hizashi would be...]

[Uchiha Fugaku: This is why I keep saying Hizashi is the BIGGEST JOKE among us all!]

[Hyuga Hizashi: FUCK YOU, FUGAKU!! And Master Izuna, what did I ever do to you?! Why are you twisting my words?!]

[I was obviously saying that even if Makoto used Kotoamatsukami on my brother to gain his approval, I would still never agree!]

[Ito Makoto: Relax, Uncle Hizashi. We obviously didn't believe Izuna's words. But... why are you so desperate to explain yourself?]

[Uchiha Madara: That's right! Only those with a guilty conscience over-explain to make themselves sound innocent.]

[Senju Tobirama: And how could he possibly stay calm when his deepest secret has been exposed?]

[Uchiha Izuna: Ohh, so that's how it is~~]

[Namikaze Minato: Ohh, so that's how it is~~]

[Uchiha Fugaku: Ohh, so that's how it is~~]

[Senju Hashirama: Ohh, so that's how it is~~]

[Hyuga Hizashi: THAT'S ENOUGH! PLEASE, SOMEONE STOP THEM!!]

[Uzumaki Kushina: Hmph! A bunch of perverts.]

[Uchiha Mikoto: Agreed! They're all just a bunch of perverted old men! Kushina, we're the only pure ones here~]

[Uchiha Fugaku: Mikoto, I didn't even say anything just now...]

[Uchiha Mikoto: Oh? Then why don't you clearly explain your relationship with Minato? Otherwise, don't even think about coming home tonight!]

[Uchiha Fugaku: Uh... then I just won't go back.]

[Uchiha Mikoto: FUGAKU! WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?! THERE REALLY IS SOMETHING GOING ON BETWEEN YOU TWO, ISN'T THERE?!]

[Uchiha Fugaku: Hmph!]

[Namikaze Minato: Kushina! Fugaku just invited me to go out and have some fun tonight, so I won't be coming home either!]

[Uzumaki Kushina: MINATO! TODAY, YOU'RE GOING TO EXPERIENCE TRUE PAIN! ADAMANTINE SEALING CHAINS!]

[Namikaze Minato: AAAAAAAH! AAAHH~]

Meanwhile, back in the real world, Zabuza stood atop a tree and narrowed his eyes as he locked onto Kakashi. The other brats, including Makoto, weren't even worth acknowledging.

In his mind, there was only one worthy opponent.

"Heh... now I get it. No wonder the Demon Brothers failed their mission. I should've known..." His eyes gleamed with recognition.

"The infamous Copy Ninja of Konoha... Kakashi. Looks like I'll finally get to see if your reputation is real."

Kakashi's body tensed as he felt a sudden surge of chakra. His instincts screamed at him.

"EVERYONE, GET DOWN! NOW!"

A powerful gust of wind blasted through the air. The team turned just in time to see a massive spinning object tearing through the sky toward them!

Sasuke reacted instantly, grabbing Tazuna and pushing him to the ground.

Seeing Naruto standing there like an idiot, Sakura tackled him down before he could get sliced in half.

Makoto, on the other hand, vanished from the sport.

With a flicker of movement, he reappeared mid-air, just as the massive object came closer.

Then, Makoto's hand gripped the handle of the spinning weapon, Executioner's Blade. Using its momentum, he spun twice in mid-air before landing smoothly on the ground, sword still in hand.

Zabuza stood frozen, completely dumbfounded.

He was supposed to make a dramatic entrance, intimidate the Copy Ninja and stand there like a badass.

So why the hell was his sword in that brat's hands?!

Zabuza's eye twitched as he slowly turned his gaze toward Makoto, who was now holding his sword like it belonged to him.

His grip tightened, veins bulging in frustration.

"Tch... You little punk...!" His voice was low, seething with irritation.

"You completely ruined my entrance! You know how hard it is to get a proper reputation as the Demon of the Mist?!"

He exhaled sharply, trying to suppress his growing anger. 'And now that he got my damn sword... how the hell am I supposed to fight?!'
