The Land Of Waves Pt 1

NO ONE'S POV

Team 7 was ecstatic about their first mission as a team. Sasuke was being an ass, Sakura was trying to grab Sasuke's attention, Naruto was being loud and Kakashi was being, well, Kakashi. The 4 of them had to escort a man named Tazuna, back home to The Land of Waves, and protect him while he finished building a bridge. Simple right? Well no, actually it's not. The old geezer, Tazuna was a drunk. So here he is, hitting on 14 year-old Sakura while she's trying not to barf. Yeah, life sucks some times, and right now, was one of those times.

"What has 142 teeth and holds back the incredible Hulk? My zipper." That funny, yet creepy, old geezer named Tazuna, started to flirt with Sakura, again. Sasuke found it very amusing to see Sakura in such a predicament Sakura groaned in agony. Why did this have to happen to her? The pink headed girl continued to ignore him and they all kept on walking. Further down the dirt road, Kakashi sees a puddle to his left.

'Hmm, it hasn't rained for the past two weeks...' He thought curiously.

Not even a minute later, two missing nin's evolve from the puddle and attack Kakashi with the claws and chains they used for weapons. They yanked on the chain and Kakashi splits in half. The three younger kids were shocked, scared, upset, everything!

One thought came through all of their minds.

Shit! How the hell are we supposed fight them now!?

Obviously, if they were able to take Kakashi out, they had no chance! Well maybe Sasuke did...and Naruto...

The pinkette starts to shake in fear.

A Shinobi must never show emotion.

Sakura tried to mask her fear as she jumped in front of the client, Tazuna, to protect him. He may be a perverted old geezer, but he was the man they were being paid to protect. And that's just what they' ll do! Lost in thought, the girl didn't see the poisoned kunai, whirling towards her face. Snapping out of her daze she saw no one other than Kakashi blocking the kunai that would have caused her very early death. She looked up confused.

"K-Kakashi-Sensei? But you... Were... Ripped in... Half..." She trails off. Kakashi turns around to face Sakura.

"You need to pay more attention Sakura, you almost died!" He says sternly.

"Gomen, Sensei. I promise I won't disappoint you." She said with a lot of confidence. Getting into a protective stance in front of Tazuna, she held her kunai up above her face to protect them both. Kakashi nodded and ran towards the two missing nin's and attacked them. Naruto and Sasuke were also fighting them off. The battle went on for a few more minutes. The three came back to Sakura and Tazuna when they finished and they continued they're journey to The Land of Waves.

"Phew, Finally! We're here. BELIEVE IT!" Naruto shouted standing up. Sakura hit him on the back of his head and sat down. They were on a boat, going to the little Island where Tazuna and his family lives. Once they got there, they thanked the man who helped them get across the ocean and got off on the pier. They were walking for only 2 minutes when they were attacked, again.

"Everybody, duck!" Kakashi yelled, going down to protect Sakura and Tazuna. All of a sudden, a big-ass sword came flying at them and hit a tree, embedding itself into the bark. A very tall man with bandages, wrapped around his face as a make-shift mask, jumped onto the handle of his sword.

"Momochi Zabuza." Kakashi whispered to everyone. He told Sakura to protect the bridge-builder as Zabuza lunged at him. Kakashi lifted his fore-head protector to reveal his left eye, the sharingan. The silver-haired Jounin was able to kick him away and Zabuza landed on the ground, doing a back-flip to stand back up.

"The sharingan... I would consider this as a testament to my own skill if I were to kill you Kakashi." A thick mist suddenly covered everyone.

SAKURA'S POV

Shit, now I can't see anything! I looked around frantically and only saw thick mist.

"Protect the bridge-builder!" Kakashi yelled somewhere to my left. It was easy for me to find Tazuna, seeing as he was right beside me.

"It's useless." Zabuza's voice was right behind me. I froze.

'Fuck, fuck, shit! We're going to die!'

'Oh hell no hun. We are not going to fucking die! Well not this way at least...'

'What the hell is that supposed to mean?'

'I'm not dying a virgin.'

He lifted his sword right above my head.

Splash!

Zabuza turned into water? What the fuck?

'It was a water clone.'

'No shit.'

"Sakura, are you okay?" Kakashi asked me. Oh, so he must have been the one who destroyed the Zabuza clone.

"Yes I am Sensei, thank you for saving us." I gave him a smile, not like he could see. Then to my horror, Zabuza showed up behind Kakashi and split him in half.

"It's over." He said. Then Kakashi turned in to water to Zabuza's surprise, and ended up behind him.

"It's over." Kakashi said, mocking Zabuza. Another Zabuza clone (Or was he the real one?) was behind him again, while the first one turned to water. Kakashi tried to free himself from his grasp, but Zabuza threw him into the lake. Kakashi then broke surface. At the same time, Zabuza made a water prison and trapped Kakashi.

"It's just us now..." I was trying not to cry. But, it was so hard not to. Here we were, no hope of surviving on our first mission. OUR FUCKING FIRST MISSION! We must be pathetic ninjas...

Sasuke and Naruto started to walk towards me and told me a plan Naruto came up with. I nodded my head and stayed to protect Tazuna as they carried on with the plan.

'This plan better work!'

'Yeah, it's Naruto's plan. We're fucked!'

A Zabuza water clone popped up and Naruto ran at him. In the process of attacking, Zabuza was able to knock Naruto's head band off. Naruto ran back and this time created a ton of clones of himself and charged at him, again. In the end Zabuza's sword wiped them all out except for one. The last Naruto snatched his head band back, said a 'powerful speech', and handed Sasuke a windmill shuriken. Sasuke threw it at Zabuza, who catched it with ease but didn't see the second windmill shuriken flying at him, and jumped over it. Then the one he dodged turned into Naruto (who transformed himself into the windmill shuriken in the first place) and said person threw a kunai at Zabuza. He let go of the prison that held Kakashi, to jump away from the kunai, so he wouldn't get hit. Kakashi finally free, attacked Zabuza with some water techniques I have no idea about. I'm guessing Kakashi was only able to really pull it off because of his sharingan. Kakashi was about to finish him off but, two senbon needles pierced Zabuza's neck. Sasuke, Naruto and I looked up into the tree, where a masked boy was standing.

"Who a-are you?" I asked the mysterious boy. He jumped down in front of me and started playing with a piece of my hair.

"My name is Haku, I'm a hunter-nin and I was sent to kill Momochi Zabuza," He then whispered into my ear. "-You know, you're pretty c~u~t~e! "

I blush a deep shade of red and hear Naruto growl. I jumped when I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. I turn around and see Kakashi standing there, glaring at the boy named Haku.

"Well thank you for your help Haku-kun, but we need to go now." Kakashi told him. Haku nodded and walked towards Zabuza, picked him up and disappeared in a cloud of smoke. All of a sudden, Kakashi collapsed.

"K-Kakashi!" I yelled, forgetting to say Sensei. He groaned.

"Damn, I o-over used my sh-sharingan..." He stuttered, he couldn't move at all. Sasuke and Naruto ran over to Kakashi-Sensei and both of them said they would carry him. Then they started to fight over who would. Kakashi chuckled at their antics. Rolling my eyes I said,

"I'm carrying him, because I want to stop feeling useless." They stopped fighting and stayed silent and replied with an,

"Okay." I got him onto my back and started walking back to Tazuna's house. The boys hesitated for a minute before following me, the bridge builder following close behind.

"Thanks Sakura." Kakashi said breaking the awkward silence. I nodded back. Tazuna opened the door to his house and led us inside. He took Sensei and I upstairs to a room for Kakashi to rest in.

"Tazuna, can you get Sasuke and Naruto to come here, please?" Kakashi asked Tazuna politely. Said man nodded and left the room. I sat down beside Kakashi and stared at him.

"A-are you going to be okay?" I asked Kakashi, afraid of the answer. He turned to me and sees my fear filled eyes. His lone visible eye softened.

"Of course I am." He reassured me. I smiled at him. His eye creases. Then comes in Naruto, Sasuke-kun and Tazuna. Kakashi tried to sit up but hissed in pain, so I helped him sit up and put a few pillows behind him. He said a quick thanks and started talking.

"There's something we need to discuss. Zabuza's death was strange. When the Hunter-nin, Haku, killed him, he took him elsewhere when usually they destroy the corpse right on the spot. Also he was killed with senbon needles, a weapon that is rarely ever fatal and is useful for knocking enemies out." He finishes.

"So," I started. " -You think he could still be alive and that he will come back to finish his job later, when he's healed?" Kakashi nodded. My eyes widened.

"You gotta be kidding me!" Naruto yelled, pissed. Sasuke-kun sighed.

"So, I was thinking of starting some training tomorrow." Kakashi stated and we all groaned.

"Why, don't you all sound excited!"

Note sarcasm.

I hope you enjoyed the first chapter!
