Bonds of Brothers
Chapter 1: Wave of Death
By Saphireshade
Haruno Sakura snapped. For years she had been in the top of her class. Only Uchiha Sasuke and Hyuuga Hinata were better. Yet when she had been placed on team 7, she found the dobe was a better shinobi than her. Now she was forced to stand around while her teammates were killed by Zabuza and his masked apprentice. Thus leading Sakura to snapping and letting her inner self take control.
"Yes! Finally I get to fight! Now, where are the boys?" Inner Sakura shouted as she began to move Sakura's body. She felt chakra spikes. Cracking her knuckles she headed towards them, preparing.
The old bridge builder froze as he felt a massive amount of killing intent coming from the pink haired girl in front of him. Hell just froze over! He thought as the kunoichi ran off towards the fighting.
Sakura appeared outside Haku's ice dome. Smiling evilly she slammed an exploding tag against the mirror then rolled to the side as it exploded. She quickly moved in the new gap before it reformed behind her and began to hurl exploding kunai all over the place.
"Sakura!" Sasuke yelled out a warning and she rolled, neatly avoiding a group of senbon thrown by the apprentice nin.
"You're getting your asses kick!" Sakura shouted as she threw more kunai. "Naruto make clones! Now!"
The blonde nodded and with a cry of "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" twenty Naruto's appeared.
"Now send them at the mirror's! Sasuke, track the nin!" Sakura yelled as she grabbed as senbon out of the air and placed it in her pouch. Neither of her teammates had time to argue so they just followed her orders.
Haku swore as he was using uneeded chakra, and the Uchiha had burned his leg. The source of the problem was the girl! Quickly jumped out of a mirror, over the Uchiha and landed in front of the girl. Three senbon pierced into Sakura: one in the lung, one in the heart, and one in the throat. Without feeling the poke that indicated a senbon entering his leg Haku dove into the nearest mirror as the cherry blossom fell to the ground. Only he noticed as part of his heart died.
"Sakura-chan!" Naruto shouted as he caught Sakura as she fell.
"N-n-na-ru-to," Sakura whispered, her voice was very soft. "Thank you."
"Sakura!" Sasuke shouted, dodging another group of senbon.
"S-as-uke-kun," Sakura smiled as she said her last word. "B-b-oom!"
Suddenly over half of the ice mirrors exploded including the one Haku had been inside. He rolled away from the shards of the mirror with his left leg completely gone from the knee down.
Then Sakura's eyes glazed over…
The air seemed to stop flowing through Sasuke's lungs as he saw another person close to him die. He felt the chakra around his eyes increasing as his Sharingan evolved into the two-tomoe eyes. He didn't care, he only wanted one thing.
"Haku!" he yelled and formed the first sign for a Gokakyuu but a shockwave of chakra threw him from his feet.
Naruto could faintly hear a deep voice laughing as he stared at Sakura's corpse. He didn't hear Sasuke shout nor did he realize how much chakra he had just unleashed. His head lifted and his whisker marks were more defined, his hair wilder, and his eyes were blood read.
"I'm going to kill you!"
Haku fell to the ground as he hobbled to the nearest mirror on one leg. He tripped and fell into the ice, quickly reforming the other mirrors. He appeared all around Naruto and hundreds of senbon began to stick out of the blonde genin. Another burst of chakra, and all the senbon dissolved!
Naruto charged at a random mirror and punched it, shattering it into pieces.
Seeing his chance Haku dove out of one of the shards and attempted to stab Naruto. A chakra powered fist slammed into his mask and he flew through an adjacent mirror and rolled out onto the bridge.
Naruto jumped after him as Haku kneeled, trying to catch his breath. The blond appeared in front of Haku and another punch was aimed at Haku's face. This punch would kill the hunter nin.
But suddenly the Kyuubi's chakra vanished as Naruto's eyes became blurry with tears.
"Why? Why, Haku! Why?"
"Why? Why, Haku? Why?"
Sasuke heared the question as he ran towards his teammate incase Haku tried anything. He was surprised at the amount of power Naruto had shown but didn't ask anything then.
"Because I am a tool. I serve Zabuza because he saved me from a cold dark hell. Back then… my eyes looked liked yours," Haku said before a final ice mirror appeared behind him and he fell into it. Sasuke briefly caught the sound of birds before nothing.
Kakashi's eyes widened in surprise as Zabuza's apprentice, bloody and missing a leg took his Raikiri for Zabuza.
"Za-bu-za-sam-a," the boy whispered before his eyes glazed over, a smile on his face. Not missing his chance the Kiri missing-nin swung his sword at Kakashi.
The copycat moved out of the way before slicing a kunai across Zabuza's good arm. Then Kakashi knocked him out and sighed. Quietly he placed his headband over his Sharingan eye.
Then he heard clapping as the mist backed off. Gato appeared next to the body of a pick haired girl. Sakura! Kakashi quickly looked towards Tazuna to find him alone, his back against a box.
"So you beat Zabuza and his lap dog. Good job. Your death will be quick!" Gato laughed as he kicked Sakura's body. Three seconds later Naruto and Sasuke stood next to the thug. Two seconds later Gato's body was in three parts.
"Don't touch her!" Naruto said before looking at the rest of the thugs from Gato. "Do you want to die?"
"You killed our meal ticket brats!" one shouted.
"We'll take you!" another raised his katana.
"Alright, now who's fi-," Sasuke began but was interrupted by a cross-bow bolt landed between him and the thugs.
"Don't take another step! If you come into this village, you'll die!" a young voice shouted.
Naruto turned and a smiled, though small, spreed across his face. "Inari!"
"Nii-chan! We got it from here!" Inari said and the rest of the village shouted in response.
The thugs dropped their weapons and ran.
"Don't come back! Ya sissy's!" Inari shouted.
Team 7 sighed. It was over, but at a great loss.
Two weeks later, Team 7 and one missing nin passed under a newly planted Sakura tree as it began to bloom.
"Well, this is where I'll be leaving," Zabuza said.
"Good bye," Kakashi said, not reading his book.
"Stay in touch," Naruto said.
"Hn," Sasuke nodded and the group parted ways. Kakashi carried Sakura's body in a scroll across his back.
Tazuna sighed as he finished engraving the name into the arc over hanging the bridge.
"What did you name it, dad?" Tsunami, his daughter, asked.
"The Great Sakura Bridge. Fitting no?"
"Yes. Very fitting."
