32 - Hunting mission part 3...

Tanzaku City...

As if pre-decided, Crow went for Zabuza, and Monkey went for Sho, while Dog went in front of Sasori to confront him and his puppets.

Approaching the enemies, all three Konoha Anbu opened their Sharingan, not letting the enemies get away easily.

"Looks like they have decided. Zabuza, I am getting the monkey, and boy, will you look at that? All of them have Sharingan. If it isn't our lucky day..." Sho said with a smile, pointing his kunai at the approaching Konoha Anbu.

"I knew it was you, copycat," Sasori said with a cold smile, looking at the Sharingan in Dog's eye, then added, "Now I will have my revenge on you for your dad killing my parents..."

"I didn't think a coward like you would get the curse to face me directly..." Zabuza said with a smile while grasping his Executioner's Blade.

Crow (Itachi) vs. Zabuza:

"Fire Style: Fireball jutsu!" Crow said, sending a huge fireball towards Zabuza, trying to engulf him.

"Water Style: Water Wall jutsu!" Zabuza countered the fireball with a water wall, and the collision of the two jutsus created a fog that covered the area.

Taking this chance, Zabuza used the Hidden Mist jutsu, shrouding the whole area and attempting to sneak up from behind to attack Crow.

"Checkmate," Zabuza said, placing his sword on Itachi's neck.

"Did you really think a party trick like that would work against me?" Crow said while pointing his short sword from behind Zabuza's neck and continued, "You might not know, but these eyes can see through everything." As the Crow in front of Zabuza disappeared with a puff of smoke, the Sharingan gave a light red glow for a moment when he opened his eyes to look at Zabuza.

"That Sharingan..." Zabuza said with a hateful tone, looking at Crow's intense eyes as he vanished underwater suddenly.

On the other side, Monkey and Sho were engaged in a defensive battle, but to be honest, Monkey had the upper hand. Monkey used his quick speed to go behind Sho and delivered a powerful kick, sending him flying and landing in the river, disrupting the Water Shockwave jutsu.

"When did y..." While standing up, Sho looked at Monkey's eyes, causing him to fall under the genjutsu of Monkey's Sharingan instantaneously.

"And that's checkmate..." Monkey said as he approached Sho.

As soon as Monkey finished binding Sho, he turned into water and disappeared into the river water, startling Monkey.

Dog vs. Sasori:

For the first half of the battle, Dog used his kunai infused with chakra to cut the threads controlling Sasori's puppets.

However, he soon realized that this tactic wasn't effective anymore, as Sasori quickly regained control over his puppets by connecting the chakra threads again with lightning speed, putting Dog at a disadvantage.

"It seems I have no other choice but to attack with full force... Lightning Style: One Thousand Chopping Birds!" Dog exclaimed, coating his hand with lightning and using it to destroy all the puppets, utilizing the full visual ability of his Sharingan to predict their movements. But soon, he found himself in a big problem.

As Sasori saw his puppets getting smashed one after another, he still remained calm, knowing he had more puppets than he needed to kill Dog.

As Dog came closer to him and attempted to strike him with lightning, Sasori used one of his puppets to block the incoming attack, protecting himself from harm. He said, "Well done, son of the White Fang, but now it's my turn, and believe me, I will kill every last one of you and take my revenge..."

With those words, he started to take back all of his puppets and brought out a new one.

Meanwhile, Fox (Kirito) had been watching everything from afar, without interfering with anyone.

When he saw Dog in great danger, he jumped in front and used the Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation jutsu. Two more foxes appeared on both sides, and together, they threw a huge fireball towards the enemy while Dog watched from behind.

Without any other way to protect himself from the surprise attack, Sasori quickly used the Third Kazekage's sand to shield himself.

On the other side, Sho got burned and fell into the water before he could strike Monkey from behind. Monkey also dived into the water to avoid the incoming fire.

The same thing happened with Crow and Zabuza, as both of them dived underwater to save themselves from the fire.

The rest of the enemy wasn't as lucky, as they got badly burned, and some were even turned to ashes due to the immense amount of fire.

"There was another one, and he burned my meat..." A big, muscular man said while coming from the middle of the enemy group. He had an Iwagakure headband, covered in mud that turned black from the fire.

"You only have a big mouth..." Monkey complained from afar.

"I don't have a use for a comrade like him anymore..." The muscular man said with a cold tone, looking in the direction of Dog and Crow. Then he asked, "I didn't know that Konoha also has a short scam like our old man Onoki..."
