It was nearly ten o'clock when she arrived to the gates. Her two teammates were already waiting for her. The two other genin looked at her with curiosity. Sakura was the first one to speak.
"Why are you so excited today, Chubby?"
Naruto arched her eyebrows at the pink-haired girl and said. "You know I think you enjoy me calling you Bubblegum or why else would you keep calling me, Chubby! Bubblegum! And to answer your question, this will be the first time I am out of this village."
Sakura and Sasuke were taken back by her response, which went unnoticed by the blond girl, who was now taking out a sketchbook and pencil from one of her bags. Naruto turned around to look at the open gates and started to sketch. It will be a while before Kakashi would be here that much Naruto was certain.
The raven-haired teen watched in fascination as the blond girl sketch the gates; her face was crunched with concentration. He had never seen Naruto looked so concentrated but he had never seen her draw so this must be an exception. Sasuke had never really thought that Naruto would have such a girly pastime; the girl acted so much like boy.
"Take a picture, it will last longer." Naruto said as she carefully drew the character of fire into the gates.
Sasuke blushed for being caught staring and shook his head before saying, "How long have you been…"
"Long enough." Naruto said, answering his unfinished question. "The Hokage-oji-san believed that I should have at least one girly hobby. Honestly, I can be girlie when I want to be! But I honestly hate acting like a girl and Hokage-oji-san knows it!"
"You shouldn't keep calling the Hokage, oji-san!" Sakura said harshly to her teammate. "Don't you know the consequence of disrespecting the Hokage!"
Naruto carefully put her pencil and sketchbook back in her bag and stood out to look at the pink-haired girl. Curling her lips at her, Naruto wonder how she could explain to her teammate about her disrespecting him without making the Hokage looking like a pervert.
"I have known the Hokage-oji-san for as long as I could remember." Naruto answered truthfully. "I had always called him that and as I grew older, he didn't bother to correct me."
"But it isn't right to call him oji-san."
"It isn't right to hurt your teammates." Naruto rebutted. "It isn't right to be late for a mission but yet we are here waiting for our late sensei for another twenty minutes."
"Well, he is a jounin!"
Naruto snorted and crossed her arms at her. "The other senseis came early to pick up the other genin but only our sensei was three hours late." She said dryly. "So I think you should make a better excuse of him being late honestly I truly dislike sensei when he is like this."
"Well, I am glad to see that you dislike my tardy habits." All three genin turned to see Kakashi with a backpack along with Tazuna.
"Since you are here, I believe that it is time to go!"
Tazuna looked at the excited blond girl and wondered if the girl was truly a ninja, she was bouncing around yesterday and today too. He watched the blond girl with guilty eyes, which went unnoticed by the three genin. However Kakashi noticed the guilt and narrowed his eye in suspicion before going back to its normal lazy look.
As the group continued their trip it was rather quiet except for the occasional chuckle from Naruto at the sight of something new. Kakashi looked at his student and smiled at seeing her smile, not smirking or the occasional fake grins she would occasionally be sported in.
"Tazuna-san?" Sakura asked. Tazuna looked at her with slightly annoyed look on his face but Naruto thought that it was because she interrupted him from drinking the sake. She honestly hated drunks and it was taking all her will power not to grab the bottle and throw it.
"What?"
"You're from Nami no Kuni, right?"
"Yeah, what about it?" Sakura turned towards Kakashi.
"Kakashi-sensei, do they have ninjas in that country too?"
Naruto was surprised to see Kakashi in teacher mode not once since they became his students did they see him in this mode. She was glad to see that his face still had a bored look; he wouldn't be Kakashi without it.
"No, not in Nami no Kuni, but in most other countries…the culture and customs may be different, but hidden villages exist, and so do ninjas." Kakashi said as he pulled out a scroll marked Kakashi sensei's nin nin ninja food for thought.
"I am afraid to ask but why the hell do you carry that around with you?" Naruto asked. "Not that I am glad because that will be useful if we get lost but still…it is weird."
"You never know when it will comes up in conversation, Naruto." Kakashi said.
Naruto arched her eyebrows in disbelief and said. "It actually comes up in conversations before this!"
Kakashi nodded and the blond girl shook her head at him, muttering under her breath about unbelievable sensei. He chuckled at the girl before continuing on with his lecture about the villages and the kages.
"Wow! Hokage-sama is the best!" Sakura squealed and clapped her hands as she had said this.
Naruto clasped her hands behind her head and said, "I can't really believe that Hokage-oji-san is that powerful! He is so old and pervert."
Kakashi sighed at his student's lack of respect to authority. It was so hard to believe at times that Naruto was the daughter of his sensei, considering the fact that his sensei had been very respectful to authority.
"But, don't worry. There won't be any ninja combat in a C-rank mission." Kakashi said as he ruffled Sakura's hair. Naruto snapped her finger in disappointment to the disbelief of Sakura.
"Of course not!" Kakashi said as he laughed at the mere idea of them fighting ninjas. Tazuna was quiet which did not go unnoticed by Sasuke, Kakashi or Naruto. The puddle that the group passed by did not go unnoticed by Kakashi either. The next thing the group knew two ninjas had Kakashi wrapped up in a spiked chain and basically torn him into pieces.
"Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura screamed as the two nin looked at the group with dreadful eyes.
"One down, now for the blonde." The next thing Naruto realized both of them were either side of her. Naruto immediately kicked the guy on her right and at the same time, punched the man on the left. This had send the two chunins flying.
Sasuke immediately jumped up and threw both a shuriken and kunai pinning the spiked chain to a tree. Both nin tried to get the chain to budge but couldn't. In their desperation to get the chain loose both didn't notice Sasuke and Naruto come up at them. Sasuke sent one of them flying with a kick while Naruto took out a kunai and plunged it on the chunin's chest.
Sasuke stared at his teammate and couldn't make out the emotions that are running through her mind when she stared at the corpse. The other enemy ninja took off towards Tazuna making Sakura pull out a kunai and stand in front of him. Both Sasuke and Naruto took off after him.
We will never make it on time! All seemed lost until Kakashi clotheslined the ninja.
"Kakashi-sensei! You are alive!" Sakura was happy to say the least.
Naruto didn't say anything to them instead deciding to look at the chunin's body with guilt and disgust. She wanted to scrub her hands from the filth of his blood but there was no sight of water. How could she kill him? She was no better than the monster inside of her.
Was it truly all right for me to kill him?
"Good job you three, glad no one was injured. I am glad to see that you reacted fast enough, Naruto."
"I should be happy to be praised but I don't feel so happy." Naruto muttered as she stared at the body.
Kakashi frowned and made a mental note to have a private talk with Naruto when things settle down. He turned to look over at Tazuna and his frown vanished, a calm serious face now apparent.
"Mr. Tazuna, I would like to have a word with you."
"I really can't see anything because of this stupid thick mist." Naruto muttered as the boat driver glared at her for talking. She looked down at her hands and felt another wave of hatred and guilt coming through. She shouldn't feel guilty for killing the man; he was going to kill her teammates after all.
"Naruto that was the point, we need to be very careful now." Kakashi sighed at his student, who crossed her arms and reluctantly nodded her head.
"I know that sensei!"
"Keep your voices down! We need to cut off the engine and row from here on out. If Gatou find us we would be in big trouble." Kakashi remembered the conversation he had earlier with the bridge builder.
"Who is after you Tazuna-san? A C-rank mission is for bandits and highwaymen, not against enemy ninja. So out with it."
Tazuna sighed as he took out his hat and admitted, "You are right this job is most likely outside of your duties. It turns out that a very dangerous man is after my life."
"Very dangerous man?"
"You've probably at least heard his name before. The wealthy shipping magnate…a man named Gatou."
"Huh? Gatou from that Gatou Company? He is said to be the world's few extremely wealthy people."
"Yes, officially he runs a large shipping company but secretly he sells drugs and other illegal items using ninjas and gang members to take over business and countries. He's a very nasty man. It was about a year ago when he set his eyes on Nami no Kuni through money and violence, he quickly took control of the country's shipping industry."
"Basically he is running the whole country." Naruto said as she looked over at the tied up chunin, who glared at her.
"Yes, Gatou now has a monopoly on all business traffic in the country. The only thing he has to fear now is the completion of the bridge."
"Now that makes sense." Sakura said as she went to a deep thinking pose. "You are building the bridge which means you are in the way."
"So those ninjas were hired by Gatou?" Sasuke asked.
Naruto rolled her eyes at her teammate and sarcastically asked, "Who else would it be my grandmother? Honestly that had to be a very stupid question! Who else do you think would hire such people?"
Sasuke glared at her while Sakura gritted her teeth at her teammate for disrespecting the raven-haired teen. Kakashi, on the other hand, chuckled and shook his head at the girl. Naruto raised her eyebrows at them and shrugged her shoulders.
"Anyways that is exactly why Gatou wants me dead. Please…" Tazuna dropped to his knees, his hat forgotten on the ground next to him.
"I beg you of you to help me, help my country. We don't have much money not enough for the expensive B-rank mission. I will gladly pay you for an B-rank after the bridge is completed!" Tazuna said before adding. "If you quit the mission now, I will definitely be killed! Don't worry about it! If I die my cute 10-year-old grandson will just cry for a few days! Oh yes and my daughter will live a sad life hating Konoha ninjas forever."
Naruto looked down to her feet and curled her lips in determination. She didn't want another kid to loose their family and she knew all too well what happens to kids that are left alone. She had spent a year in the streets and knew the horrors…no kid deserve to know it.
The whole year that she had spent living in the streets had been the worse year of her life. Till this day, she could still remember the horrors of the streets and nothing she can do will erase them.
"Kakashi-sensei, I believe that we should help him." Naruto said softly. " I never had family so I know what it is like to be left alone in the streets to fend for yourself. I will be dammed if I let another kid know the horrors."
"Are you sure about this Naruto?"
"Does my face say that I am kidding?"
Kakashi smiled underneath his mask while Tazuna looked at the girl with awe. Sasuke and Sakura were surprised to see the seriousness in her face; both of them had thought that Naruto would oppose this. They frowned and wonder what Naruto meant by the horror of the streets.
"Tazuna-san, it looks like we have avoided detection so far, but just in case, we will take the route that has vegetation. It will make the enemies harder to spot us."
"Thanks."
"It is bad enough that I can't see anything but we are going through a bunch of plants too." Naruto muttered, rubbing the back of her neck. "The plants better be pretty enough that it want to make me draw it."
Naruto stopped talking and was gawking at the country. She had never been to another country even through it seemed like the village had seen better days; it still looked amazing to her. She had a sudden urge to draw the village but held it till the boat came to stop at a small dock.
"This is it for me." The boatman said. "Goodbye and good luck."
"Yeah. Thank you so much."
Naruto furrowed her eyebrows as she watched the boatman use the motor to get away from them. She crossed her arms as they walked through the path. She was worried for the whole team and was silently regretting for being rash. Gatou was a filthy rich man so how can they be sure that he didn't hire a higher-level ninja? Maybe he thinks that Tazuna is dead.
A sound off to their right alerted the squad and Naruto launched a shuriken at it. The blond girl was starting to become a little bit jumpy now.
"Naruto! What the hell?!" Sakura yelled at her teammate for jumping the gun like that. She got even more upset at seeing Naruto had nearly hit a rabbit.
Naruto waved her hand off at her teammate's words and looked carefully at the white rabbit. Odd that was what she could definitely describe the rabbit. At this time of the year, the rabbit should be brown not white. So why was it white? There must be an explanation for this.
"EVERYONE GET DOWN NOW!" Just after Kakashi finished warning his squad a large object came spinning out of the trees flying just inches above everyone and slamming into a nearby tree. On top of the sword was a topless man with the same camouflage pants as the chunins that they met early; bandages cover his lower face and his headband tied at an angle on his head.
"Well, well, if it isn't Kirigakure missing-nin Momochi Zabuza. Everybody, get back. This one is on a whole other level."
Kakashi's opponent was quiet as Kakashi reached for his headband. Naruto licked her lips in anticipation, knowing that they will now know what was behind that headband. Everyone in the group wonder what he hid behind the mask and headband.
"It will be a little tough unless I do this."
"So you are Sharingan Kakashi? Sorry but the old man is mine."
Sharingan? As in the Uchiha clan's Kekkai Genkai? No it couldn't be because from what I read about the clans only someone born into the clan can inherit it but Kakashi isn't related to them is he? He certainly doesn't have the classical looks that are typically associated with the Uchiha Clan. Naruto thought now wondering why Kakashi was called the copyninja.
"Surround and protect Tazuna-san. Do not enter the fight. That's the teamwork here that will keep you alive. Zabuza, first…" Kakashi said as he lifted the headband from his eye. "Fight me."
Naruto gasped at the sight of the Sharingan. She didn't know anything about that Kekkai Genkai except for the fact that it copies jutsus. The sight of the Sharingan was not one that she had been expecting but now she was curious to know how he got the eye.
"Ah…I already get to see the famous Sharingan. I am honored."
Naruto did a quick glance at Sasuke and saw the troubled expression on his face. It must be hard for him to look at the eye, if it had been her clan's legendary Kekkai Genkai. It was pity that she had no clan but she didn't know anything about her deceased family. Naruto wasn't even sure that Uzumaki was her family's last name.
"When I was a member of Kirigakure's assassin team. I kept a handbook it included information of you. And this is what it said…the man, who has copied over 1000 jutsu…'Copy ninja Kakashi.' Now let us end all the talking. I have to kill that old man. But, Kakashi! It seems I have to beat you first." In the blink of an eye Zabuza and his large sword both vanished from the tree only to reappear on top of the water.
"Is he standing on water?" Sakura asked in disbelief.
"Do you want me to answer that serious or sarcastically? If I were you, I would lean towards sarcasm." Naruto supplied helpfully. Sakura glared at her but the blond girl was too tense to glare right back at her.
"Kirigakure no jutsu." With that a thick fog appeared and Zabuza vanished.
He is a missing-nin so he must have some speciality and he must be dangerous if Kakashi-sensei told us not to fight him.
"He will come after me first." Kakashi said, warning them of what will come. "Momochi Zabuza…as a member of Kirigakure… he was known as an expert in silent killing. You don't even notice until you are already dead. It is not like I can use the Sharingan perfectly. You guys be careful."
"Eight points...the throat, spinal column, lungs, liver, the jugular vein, the subclinical artery, the kidney, and the heart...so many choices, what vital, vulnerable place should I pick?"
Naruto looked and saw Sasuke was terrified but she could feel a presence nearby her. It reeked of bloodlust that much can be certain. She had to do something to snap him out of it.
"YOUR CLAN MUST BE ROLLING ON THEIR GRAVES TO SEE HOW FRICKIN SCARED YOU ARE." Sasuke heard Naruto's voice and looked at her in surprise. The blond girl smirked at him and he silently gave her a nod.
Naruto frowned as she tried to gather chakra into her hand. She hadn't perfected this technique in fact it was a long way from being perfected but maybe it was time to test the experiment to see how much more it needed to be perfected but first she needed to warn them
"Everyone Jump!"
Sasuke, Sakura and Tazuna jumped up as Naruto slammed her fist on the ground making the nearby area rumble like a small earthquake and the ground beneath her become a small crater. Kakashi noticed Zabuza was off balance due to Naruto's attack and he pressed his advantage by reappearing behind him jabbing kunai into his spine. A second Zabuza appeared behind Kakashi, which did not go unnoticed by Naruto.
"Sensei! Behind you!" It was too late as Zabuza's weapon cleft clean through Kakahsi who melted into a puddle of water.
A water bunshin? No way! In this mist…he copied it!?
"Don't move Zabuza, it is over! Thanks for the shockwave Naruto." Kakashi now had his kunai to Zabuza's neck.
"The blond girl has got some strength, but do you really think this is over? You don't get it. There is no way you can defeat me with your monkey-like imitations. Hehe…but that was impressive of you! While the blond girl screamed for everyone to jump you made the clone and while I was thrown off by the shockwave, used my own Kirigakure technique to watch me! Too bad for you though..."
A voice came from behind Kakashi making his eyes widen.
"But, I am also not that easy." The Zabuza that Kakashi had cornered melted into a puddle.
"Why the hell do they keep using the water clone? It is making the fight last way longer!" Naruto knew very well that this fight was way out of her league but that didn't mean she didn't want any action. Zabuza swung his sword in a wide arc making Kakashi duck while the swordsmen stuck his sword into the ground so he could swing his body and kick Kakashi away towards the water. Kakashi slammed into the water and for some reason found it much harder to move his limbs then normally.
What? This water is heavy…
"Heh…fool." Zabuza said as he formed hand-seals for a jutsu. "Suiro no jutsu." Before Kakashi could escape, a large sphere of water surrounded him while Zabuza stood off to its side with one arm in the prison keeping it functional.
"You tried to escape to the to the water. Big mistake. Now I have you in an inescapable prison!"
If he was trying to be funny than he failed! Even the Hokage is funnier than he is. Naruto thought as she watched one of the destroyed water clone reformed itself slowly drawing its sword as it stared down the genin.
"Hehe, wearing those head-bands and acting like ninjas. A real ninja is someone who has survived numerous brushes with death. Only when you're good enough to be listed in the bingo book than can you start calling yourself ninjas, you are not ninjas."
Naruto barely ducked from the under kick from Zabuza. If it hadn't been for her survival instincts from the streets, she wouldn't have been able to dodge it.
"Not bad but not good enough to save you." Naruto could see that large sword held above the clone's head about to crash down on her. The position that he was in told her that he will swing his sword to her right so as the sword came down, time seemed to slow for the blond girl and she rolled to the left and drew out her kunai.
She smiled when she saw an opening and as the sword came down impacting on the dirt, Naruto used her strength to fling the kunai at the water clone watching as the kunai pierced its chest making it dissolve into another puddle. Naruto immediately got to her feet as Sasuke landed close to her.
"Take Tazuna-san and run! You have no chance of beating him! As long as he is keeping me trapped in this prison he can't move! The water clone can't go very far from his real body. Just run away!"
"That is admirable Kakashi but this ends now." Zabuza made a single hand-seal and another water clone appeared on the edge of the lake. Naruto looked at her hand and knew that this was the last one to use that technique. It took tremendous amounts of control and her control was now average for a genin but it will be a few more years before the control will be good enough for this technique.
Is he mad! The man will kill him before going straight towards us and than he will kill us! We are newbies so we have no chance of defeating him but…Naruto grinned to the horror of her teammates but Sasuke was also taken back by the gleam in the girl's eyes.
"What is it like living without eyebrows, freak?" Zabuza glared at the smiling blond girl while everyone gawked at her.
"Put this in your damn bingo, the woman who will one day surpass any of the strong kunoichi! Uzumaki Naruto, Konoha Genin!" For added emphasis Naruto stuck her tongue out.
"Hey bastard, I got a plan." Sasuke looked at her and was taken back by the confident smile on her face.
"Oh now teamwork from you?" Naruto's eyes twitched but she remembered the situation at hand and forgave him…for now. Zabuza was getting annoyed and summoned another Mizu clone from the previous destroyed one who blocked the genin from making it to their sensei.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! RUN AWAY! THIS FIGHT WAS OVER THE MOMENT I WAS CAUGHT! OUR DUTY IS TO PROTECT TAZUNA-SAN! DID YOU FORGET THAT?!"
"Sensei, don't take any offence at my words but just shut the hell up and let us do our job! I am not going to abandon my teammate that just makes me worse than scum! And I am not scum!" Kakashi had to smile inwardly at his students taking his lesson to heart but against Zabuza this was suicide.
Naruto looked at Tazuna and quietly asked. "Oji-san, would you mind…?"
Tazuna looked down at the floor. "Well, I planted this seed myself. I am not going to now say that I desire to live so much that I would stop you." Naruto smiled at his words. "I am sorry guys. Fight as much as you want."
"You hear that?" Sasuke asked, giving her a cocky look that she hated so much.
Naruto grinned at him. "Are you ready?"
Zabuza chuckled at them and Naruto furrowed her eyebrows at him. "You guys will never grow up." He declared.
The blond girl kept a cool mask at him, which unnerved the missing-nin, and softly asked. "May I ask why do you say such a thing?"
The swordsmen grinned and looked at his hands with such delight that it chilled her to the bone. "When I was about your age, these hands were already dyed with blood."
Naruto looked at her own hands and remembered the chunin that she had killed so easily. She gulped as she remembered the gaze look in his eyes, the hatred in his brother's eyes and the need that she now has to cleanse her hand of his blood. The man was a monster or why else can he talk about killing so easily? Naruto knew right than that she didn't want to end up like him. She bit her lips, hoping that it would stop her from trembling in fear. The taste of her blood made it worse instead of better.
"Devil…Zabuza." Kakashi muttered. He looked at his students and wasn't surprised to see the fear in their eyes or to see them trembling with said fear but he was surprised by the fact that Naruto was biting her lips so hard. This had to be one of the most unexpected things that he had ever seen from her.
"Ah…" Zabuza's voice snapped him from his thoughts. "So you have heard a little about it."
"Long ago, in the Hidden Mist village, also called the Blood Mist Village, there was a final obstacle in becoming a ninja…" Kakashi said, looking tense as he said this.
"You even know about that graduation exam…" The dark look on Zabuza's eyes made Naruto wonder what was the graduation exam.
"That exam?" Naruto asked, looking at the two older ninjas with curiosity.
Zabuza chuckled. Naruto looked at the missing nin in anger and annoyance but tried to keep a cool head as she thought of a way to phrase her question. She could feel sweat on her forehead clearer each passing minute that Zabuza kept chuckling.
"What is this graduation exam that you did?"
Zabuza didn't answer instead he continued with his dark evil chuckles. The Leaf genins looked alarm at his laughter, what was so funny about the question? After all she had asked a good question if she dare say so herself.
After the swordsman stopped his evil laughter, he turned to the three genins and gave them a dark look. "Fights to the death between students." He answered.
The three genins and Tazuna were alarmed at this declaration. Naruto stared at Zabuza and clenched her hands into a fist. To kill your own classmates that had to be one of the cruellest things that a kid could be forced to do. She couldn't fathom the feelings that those kids had felt.
"Friends who have trained and eaten at the same table are pitted against each other and go at it until one of them loses his life." The swordsman looked at them in amusement and continued. "These are friends who had helped each other and shared dreams."
"Terrible." Muttered a shell-shocked Sakura.
"It is barbaric." Naruto stated.
"10 years ago, the Hidden Mist graduation exam was forced to change." Kakashi looked tense as he said this. "This change came after the previous year when a devil appeared."
Sakura looked at their sensei with curiosity and asked. "Change."
Neither Zabuza nor Kakashi answered the question. "What change? What did this devil do?" Sakura yelled out in frustration.
After a minute of silence, Zabuza answered the question. "Without pause or hesitation, a young boy, who was not even a ninja, had killed over a hundred of the graduating students." He closed his eyes in fondness. "That sure was fun."
In the blink of an eye the clone slammed into Sasuke sending him to the ground and standing over him with a foot on his chest.
"Die." Zabuza said, deepening his step on Sasuke's stomach.
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura was worried for Sasuke even through he had been the rookie of the year she just saw him get taken down like it was nothing. On the surface, Naruto looked like the epitome of calm but in the inside the blond girl was pissed, nobody hurts her teammates even if he was too cocky for his own good. It was her job to remind him that he wasn't that great, through him being her friend was a bonus.
"That is my friend that you are hurting, freak! Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Over a dozen clones of Naruto appeared each with a kunai in hand. Zabuza was truly impressed that a genin knew such a high chakra cost technique and could use it well.
"Ah, shadow clones and such a large amount!" Naruto quietly made the signal for the shadow clones to start attacking the man. All of the shadow clones leapt upon the mist assassin to the annoyance of the original that wasn't how she was hoping that they would do it but it would have to do. She frowned as she watched the swordsman spun his sword around in omnidirectional arc around him destroying the clones. She grinned when she realized that he wasn't paying attention to them but at the clones themselves.
As this was happening, Naruto dug into her pack and withdrew a weapon hoping that her spun on the moment plan would work.
"Sasuke, catch!" Naruto tossed him a windmill shuriken and she noticed his look of understanding as he caught it and she grinned at him, which made him realize that she looked nicer when she smiled.
"Shuriken are useless against me!" The clone said as Sasuke took to the air launching the projectile with all his might. The clone could only watch as the shuriken went right past him towards the true Zabuza.
"At least you were smart enough to target the real me but it won't work...AMATUER!" Zabuza said as he caught it only to notice a split-second later another one just under it. All three genin watched with anticipation as the second shuriken came closer and closer though all but Naruto's hopes were dashed. The blond girl smiled as the Naruto sitting on the ground vanished in a puff of smoke.
"Never insult me, Freak!" The second shuriken turned out to be the real Naruto who threw another windmill shuriken at Zabuza watching with a huge smirk on her face as he let go of the prison to dodge and her smirk turned into a smile as she saw that she had managed to cut his cheek with her aim.
That cheeky brat! Just as Zabuza was about to launch the shuriken that he had caught at her but was stopped by something. He turned his head to come face to face with Kakashi's sharingan eye.
"Now Zabuza, it is game over."
