I ,Sasuke , Why Should I Defect To Konoha

---

"That's it!" As Zabuza finished speaking, Kakashi suddenly appeared behind him. Yet when Zabuza slashed through Kakashi, water splashed everywhere.

"A water clone? You managed to copy my technique through this thick mist? Truly impressive, Sharingan Kakashi!" Zabuza eyed the kunai at his neck with little concern, somewhat surprised by Kakashi's resourcefulness.

Moments later, Zabuza's body dissolved into water, cascading to the ground.

"This guy is also a water clone!" Naruto exclaimed in surprise, his expression changing as he realized it.

"Water Style: Water Prison Jutsu!"

It all happened in an instant. As Kakashi approached the water, Zabuza seized the moment. With blinding speed, he formed a water sphere around Kakashi, trapping him in a water prison.

Reacting too slowly, Sasuke missed the chance to prevent Zabuza's maneuver.

"You're trapped. As long as he maintains the Water Prison, he can't move from that spot. Now's our chance…" Kakashi's voice broke through the prison's watery walls, urgently pushing his students into action.

"Escape? Impossible! If we abandon him, we'll all be hunted down by Zabuza. It would mean total defeat," Sasuke declared with conviction. "Leaving our friends isn't an option! This is what being a part of Squad Seven means—never giving up, no matter the odds!"

"We've got to fight! Our only chance to turn things around is by freeing our teacher from that water prison," he added, encouraging Naruto to overcome his fear.

"Sasuke..." Kakashi murmured, seeing Sasuke's determination to protect his teammates. He felt an intense sense of pride. Sasuke was a lot like Obito—though perhaps even more skilled and driven.

"Alright, no way I'm letting you outdo me!" Naruto yelled, fueled by his desire to surpass Sasuke. In that moment, his fear of Zabuza was replaced by sheer determination.

"Remember the strategy from before? Now, let's go," Sasuke said calmly, forming hand seals to prepare for their plan.

"Got it! Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto replied, smirking as he activated the technique.

A large cloud of smoke filled the area, momentarily obscuring Zabuza's vision.

"This trick again? A child's tactic!" Zabuza sneered as he created his own water clone. Though the clone held only a fraction of Zabuza's strength, it was enough to handle Naruto.

"Attack!" Naruto commanded his army of clones, leading them in a charge.

"Hmph, numbers don't matter here," Zabuza's clone muttered, raising his sword to confront Naruto's clones head-on.

"Take this!" Naruto shouted, forming a complex seal, catching Zabuza's attention.

Could he actually have a powerful jutsu up his sleeve?

This familiar scene made Kakashi frown. Naruto was pulling the same stunt again—a simple technique wouldn't fool someone as skilled as Zabuza. Or would it?

"Switch positions!" Naruto's clones all yelled at once as a large cloud of white smoke emerged, obscuring Zabuza's view.

A moment later, to Zabuza's surprise, the clones transformed.

"D-Did I just see that right?" Sakura gasped as dozens of clones turned into alluring versions of Naruto, wearing seductive expressions as they charged toward Zabuza.

"Naruto, what on earth is this?!" Sakura yelled in disbelief, barely resisting the urge to look away.

Beside her, Dazna, red-faced and awestruck, muttered, "Well, the kid's got style…" For the first time, he fully appreciated Naruto's creativity.

"Hmph, that trick won't work on me! I'm the Demon of the Mist, Zabuza!" Zabuza said in a low, dangerous tone, sweeping his sword mercilessly through the first few clones.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Naruto's clones shattered on impact, vanishing in puffs of smoke as Zabuza tore through them. In just a few seconds, almost all of them were destroyed.

"Game over!"

Ignoring the last Naruto clone, Zabuza's water clone charged at Sasuke, reaching out to grab the Sharingan eyes with a deadly gleam in his own.

"Sasuke!" Sakura cried, rushing forward to intervene. Yet as Zabuza's clone's hand struck Sasuke, he vanished in a puff of white smoke—a shadow clone.

"What?!" Zabuza spun around just in time to see Sasuke behind him, his single-tomoe Sharingan glowing as he readied a Lightning Release technique.

"Lightning Release: Thunder Serpent!" Sasuke moved forward, crackling with electricity. A thunderous snake extended from his hand and struck Zabuza's arm, paralyzing him and shattering the water prison that had held Kakashi captive.

Zabuza winced, pulling back as he felt the numbing effect on his arm. Without the ability to form hand seals, he knew that fighting Kakashi directly was now too risky.

"Well done, Sasuke, Naruto! Leave the rest to me!" Kakashi said, his Sharingan gleaming as he stepped forward, free from the water prison.

"Not bad," Naruto said, feeling proud. "With the Transformation Jutsu as bait, and my clones as a distraction, Sasuke could launch a surprise attack from behind. This is what I call the Harem Reverse-Kill technique!" He beamed as Kakashi acknowledged their teamwork, while Sakura and Tatsuna finally understood the entire plan.

"Impressive teamwork. I underestimated you brats. But remember this—you're still not leaving here alive!" Zabuza growled, stepping back to regain control of his paralyzed arm.

Just as Zabuza issued his threat, Sasuke's ears rang with a notification from his internal mission system.
