Chapter 489: A Song of Ice
Boom
Ameyuri's lightning attack snakes forward on a straight path, aiming for Omoi and his teammate's lives.
"This time we are done for sure!"
Omoi sighs in helplessness.
Whoosh
Suddenly, a figure jumps in front of the lightning attack. The figure blocks the lightning attack with his bare hands.
"It's still too soon for you to give up, young man!"
Ah!
"Vice-commander Kakashi!"
Omoi recognizes the figure, and relief appears on his face.
"Reinforcement is here!" His teammates celebrate with joy.
Kakashi turns towards them and relays an order.
"All of you fall back and regroup with the rest of the platoon. I will hold her back."
"Yes, commander!" The group hastily retreats. Only Omoi stays behind.
"You aren't going back with the rest of your group?" Kakashi glances at him as he neutralizes Ameyuri's attack.
Smoke rises from Kakashi's hands as the coating of wind chakra on his hand dispersed.
"Commander I Can I stay back and fight?"
Hmm
Kakashi notices the determination in Omoi's eyes.
"Alright, I will allow it. However, you must follow my orders and should absolutely retreat at the first sign of danger. Is that clear?"
"Ys yss captain! No, I mean commander. I mean yes!" He stutters with his words.
"It's fine as long as you understand. Also, just call me Kakashi-senpai." Kakashi shrugs off his shoulders and focuses his attention on Ameyuri, who is charging towards him with the twin blades Kiba.
"That's definitely one of the seven most swords, Kiba! They were lost after Kiri's civil war. It's a good opportunity to retrieve them."
Swish swish
Kakashi makes a series of hand signs.
"Wind Release: Pressure canon,"
Kakashi inhales a large amount of air and spews out multiple rings of wind.
BOOM BOOM
The wind rings explode on top of Ameyuri and disperse the lightning around her body.
Fwish
Kakashi draws a chakra blade and swings it toward Ameyuri to block her attack.
"It has been a while since I last wielded a sword."
Clang clang
Kakashi engages in a sword fight with her and is evenly matched against her sword skills.
"Woah! Amazing!"
The rest of the shinobi stares at Kakashi's battle in amazement.
"He is my uncle! I met him once I was small. He came to pick up my mother and escape from the Land of Water. However, my mother refused to leave with him. Later, my father discovered her identity as a member of the Yuki clan because of me. He gathered the villagers and the villagers sentenced her to death."
Tears flow from Haku's eyes as he recalls his past.
"Very well!"
Haku wipes his tears and walks towards the Yuki clan member.
"Uncle!" He utters these words as he confronts the latter.
"You are you are Kohaku's son. Haku!"
Tears flow from Haku's uncle's eyes as he recognizes Haku.
"It's good to see that you are alive." Haku's uncle smiles at him as he fights the several vice-captains.
"Please leave it to me!"
Haku turns towards the various vice-captains and requests.
"But he you!" The vice-captains hesitate, as Haku is just a young man.
"Let me fight him!" Kakashi's voice echoes in their ears.
"Commander Kakashi!" The vice-captain notices Kakashi and nods in respect.
Haku takes a step forward toward his uncle.
Shiing Shiing
Several ice shards gather behind Haku's back to form a halo of ice.
"Another Ice Release user!" The vice-captain's eyes widen in shock.
"Ice Release: Song of a thousand spear,"
Haku claps his hand and the several ice shards around him turn into multiple ice spears.
BANG BANG
Ice spears rain down on the battlefield and break apart the ice domain and shatter the several ice mirrors in the vicinity. The ice spears continue to rain down and pierce through the Yuki clan member's body, incarcerating him in a place.
"Uncle!"
Haku towards his uncle with wet eyes.
"Haku!"
The Yuki clan shinobi gently caresses Haku's face as his body shimmer with a white glow.
"Sometime after I left the village, I came to visit Kohaku again. However, I couldn't find any traces of you and your mother. Later, I learned from the villagers that both of you are dead. I was heartbroken after hearing the news. Later, I was captured and experimented upon. In one of those gruesome experiments, I lost my life."
Haku's uncle reveals his fate after Kohaku's death.
"The name of my captor is Orochimaru!"
Haku's uncle slowly dissipates and vanishes, finally freed from a lifetime of agony.
"So, that's how it is!"
Kakashi nods as he walks beside Haku and gently pats the latter's back.
"I am sure your uncle will find peace after knowing you are safe and sound."
Mm
Haku wipes his tears and turns in the direction of Zabuza's battle.
'Uncle, Mom! I finally found my family.'
----------------------
A/N:- After the bridge battle with Haku and Zabuza, Izuna instructed Haku in the ice release. So, it is because of this Haku one-shot his opponent when others were struggling. Keep in mind when Haku's uncle was alive, he was modified by Orochimaru to increase his strength.
