A Different Kind of Hero:

Everyone has their different ways of showing their love for someone else, some don't know how to show it, and many do not love because of past experiences. Many people look for someone to love them or to look to them, or just to even give them a little credit. This story is on how pain and sadness made him strong, but it was his friend that made his life change forever. His name is Momochi, Zabuza.

The air is cold and mist is everywhere. It's early morning for the water country, but most of the people are already up, doing their daily routine day after day, month after month. But today he was able to sleep in. It was Zabuza's eighth birthday, in the early spring (April). Zabuza's family was quite large; he had two brothers and one sister. They were already working out in the fields for tomorrow was when they turned in their crops for money. Zabuza-san is the youngest of them all; as he began to wake several strangers were entering the town. His mother, Umidaki came into the room, her face filled with happiness ready to surprise her son with her special gift, "Zabuza, wake up son today's a special day!" Zabuza's eyes were filled with happiness and compassion for his mother. He started to slowly get up, "Mammy sa..." then felt his bruises from a couple days back. His ribs were bruised up, and his face was beat pretty badly, he was a mess. He slowly began to get up from bed, when he finally got up he found his mother looking at him in tears, "My son...my dear son" his mother gave him a huge hug. With tears in her eyes she squeezes him hard, "Zabuza I'm so sorry..." Zabuza looked up to his mom, and gave her a smile, "Mommy its okay, I feel much better now, you don't have to worry about me!" For the first time in a while he made his mother smile again. "Zabuza let me take care of those wounds before they get any worse," with that she went to her room and got some face cover bandages. Then she starts to remember back to when her son was...

It was the first day of testing the next day and Zabuza had to take his genin testing. He would be the third one in his family to become a ninja. In the Momochi family it was an honor and tradition to become a ninja. One of the most honorable things in this family was that every male in the family would go against the current Mizukage's out of every generation only one was able to past, and that was Zabuza's grandfather -----------. Now it was Zabuza's father Shizoga's time to try to beat the current Mizukage, his father.
