Ch 16: Sakura's First Big Step

*swoosh**Swoosh*

Countless needles came towards Sakura.

However, Sakura is not Sasuke.

As the needle almost approached her and pierced her body, Sakura used a slight movement to avoid the needle, as Sanada did towards Ami at the training ground.

This is the result of the teachings of Sanada these past few days. He combines Sakura's intelligence and instincts and is somehow able to make Sakura predict the trajectory of the needle.

Of course, this was also the reason why Sanada let Sasuke fight against Haku first. Sakura needs time to analyze the opponent, and Sasuke will be good enough to get the time Sakura needs.

When Sasuke and Haku saw this result, both of them were both shocked. Sasuke was a little better as he already knew a little of Sakura's power from their previous confrontation, But Haku couldn't believe the seemingly harmless girl could dodge her attack so easily.

'Looks like I have to finish this fast.'

With that thought in his mind, Haku quickly disappeared again.

Some Haku appeared in the mirror, and they threw an ice needle at Sakura, this time much faster than before.

Sakura knew relying on predictions like Sanada did before against this kind of opponent was still beyond her ability, so without wasting time, she pumped chakra into her legs to increase her speed.

He had long mastered the concept of applying chakra to the soles of his feet and was much more familiar with it than Sasuke. So even now, Sakura could successfully dodge the attack from Haku.

As Sakura continued to dodge from Haku's ice needles, Haku began to fidget and eventually increased the speed of throwing needles. Haku combines an ice needle with a real metal needle because the speed of making an ice needle is no longer able to keep up with its throwing speed.

Despite this, Sakura could still avoid most of the needles thrown at her, and some that she could not avoid were fended off by the kunai in her hands.

Haku saw this scene and knew that he must be cruel. He used the ice mirror jutsu specialty to teleport behind Sakura as she tried to rush over and deliver the final blow. However, right now, a drop of water was thrown at him, making him completely lose time to deal a fatal blow to Sakura.

{ AN: Uchimizu!!!}

'This..' Haku's gaze immediately turned to the outside, where he saw Sanada smiling at him. But of course, Haku could see that Sanada's eyes were not smiling at all, and it was full of threats.'

Haku and Zabuza had been naughty for many years, and in that period of time, they had met many powerful enemies, some even they had to be injured to kill them.

However, this was the first time Haku felt trapped within an invisible barrier. The barrier was so big, and Haku felt that if he made the wrong move, the barrier would collapse and suffocate him.

Haku now hesitated. He knew that he could live until now was due to the mercy of the opponent. If Sanada came and surrounded him with Sakura and Sasuke, his chances of winning were almost zero.

Nonetheless, if he did not immediately finish this battle, he did not know what would happen to Zabuza, who was currently fighting Kakashi.

All these thoughts had clouded Haku's mind, and now he was at a loss as to what to do.

Sanada sees Haku being like this and knows that Sakura doesn't have much time left. When Haku is already in this condition, it won't be long until he throws everything up and rushes to Zabuza's side.

So as long as Haku's presence was still there, Sanada wanted to use Haku as a means to help Sakura break through her current limits.

"Sakura, make an attack!" sanada.

"But Sensei.." Sakura hesitated. He had seen Haku and Sasuke's battles before, and he knew that his offense should not harm Haku's icy mirror.

"Trust me, Sakura, clear your mind and follow my instructions." Sanada said while wanting to convince Sakura.

The current Sakura is not Sakura Shippuden, and she still suffers from lack of confidence.

Sanada's words felt like a breeze in spring for Sakura, and finally, she decided to believe in her Sensei.

His sensei had always believed in him, so he should not disappoint this belief.

Sakura closed her eyes, and her entire mind was completely focused on Sanada's words.

" Assume the Basic Style of Fish-Man Karate, and pour the chakra into your right hand.."

" Use the water manipulations you've learned before to detect the moisture around you and treat it as an extension of yourself." WEB."

"Now, all you need to do is release the blow, and don't forget, always believe in yourself. You can do it, Sakura!"

Sanada finished his words, and at this moment, Sakura perfectly imitated everything Sanada said on her body.

Maybe because of the pressure from Haku, but Sakura this time was much more focused than usual. Slowly, the wall that was preventing him from moving forward collapsed, and understanding emerged in Sakura's mind.

He took the basic position of the Fish-Man Karate, and while using the manipulation of water properties to control the water vapor around him, he launched a punch forward.

"Karakusagawara Seiken!"

EXPLOSION!!!!!

By sending the force of the punch through the water vapor, Sakura's punch unleashed a shockwave that made everything around her fly. Strength reached the ice mirror, and cracks slowly appeared in the ice mirror.

Haku witnessed this, and a trace of horror appeared on his face.

Not just once, this pair of masters and disciples managed to shock him twice today.

The ice mirror in front of Sakura was completely destroyed, and although Sakura could only destroy a few ice mirrors, it was already more than enough for now.

Sakura stared at the scene in front of her in disbelief. This was not the first time he had tried this move, but it was the first time he had succeeded.

His eyes looked at Sanada with a very happy look on his face.

"Sensei, I did it!"
