Disclaimer- I don't own Naruto and I never will. Sorry that it took so long to update but I had no ideas for this chapter.
"I still don't see why Sakura-chan had to go back to the village." Naruto whined for the fifth time that morning. "What do you think Kakashi-sensei?"
"I'm not sure Naruto, all I know is that she got a message from the Hokage so she had to leave." Kakashi replied silently wondering what could be so important. They had just finished of the rouge ninja's, well Sakura had, when a messenger appeared stating that the Hokage needed to see Sakura immediately. So know here they were continuing with the mission silently wondering what was happening with Sakura.
"Bu…but what if something happens to her?" Naruto stammered.
"Nothing will happen to her, dobe." Sasuke sneered.
"You never know anything could happen to her!" Naruto exclaimed loudly.
"I think you saw that Sakura is more than capable than looking after herself." Tazuna replied glaring at Naruto. Suddenly a faint whizzing sound reached Kakashi's ears.
"EVERYONE, GET DOWN!" there was a loud thump. They looked up a saw a large sword logged in a tree, suddenly a ninja appeared on top of the sword.
"Another ninja, a well we'll just have to teach him a lesson!" Naruto shouted pulling out a kunai from the pouch on his leg.
"No Naruto, this ones different. Protect Tazuna I'll handle him." Kakashi said moving towards the ninja, "Zabuza!"
"Ah, the famous Copy-nin." Zabuza smirked as he pulled out his sword. Slowly Kakashi pulled up his forehead protector to revel the Sharingan. Sasuke gasped,
"The sharingan, only an Uchiha has sharingan, could Kakashi be…." He was interrupted by the sound of metal clashing.
"Sasuke, Naruto protect Tazuna!" Kakashi ordered before going back to the battle with Zabuza while Naruto and Sasuke jumped in front of Tazuna.
The battle seemed to go on forever, when it seemed one of them was going to win the other quickly took control. Suddenly Zabuza appeared behind Kakashi, disarming him and tying his hands with chakra string and due to Kakashi's overuse of the sharingan, Kakashi was helpless.
"Well well well, it looks like the great copy-nin has been defeated." Zabuza smirked. Zabuza moved in front of Kakashi, his sword held before him, "Goodbye copy-nin!" Zabuza yelled while bringing down his sword but the weapon never connected. The sword had been cut in half, looking up Zabuza saw Sakura holding the other half of the sword.
"You know I didn't really need you to save me." Kakashi stated with a nervous laugh.
"Of course, but I would get rusty if I just sit on the sidelines." Sakura said calmly. Zabuza was still looking down at his broken sword, when he suddenly snapped out of his daze.
"You are going to pay for that!" Zabuza roared. As he neared her he felt a sharp pain in his neck before he fell to the ground, unmoving.
Suddenly a hunter-nin jumped down from one of the nearby trees. Sasuke and Naruto both got into defensive positions.
"Who are you?" Kakashi asked standing up from his crouched position.
"I am Haku. I have been looking for the rouge-nin Zabuza for a while, so thank you for your help in his capture. I hope to see you again." With that he picked up Zabuza's corpse and sped off into the trees.
"Well that was interesting." Sasuke muttered.
"Hey, Sakura-Chan, who is that?" Naruto asked pointing towards the girl emerging from the trees.
"This is Mai, she will be the third member of team seven." Sakura replied.
"I thought you were the third member of the team." Sasuke said trying to ignore the dreamy look that Mai was sending him.
"Only for this mission."
"Well let's finish this mission." Kakashi said weakly before he fell to the ground unconscious. Sakura moved forward and hefted Kakashi onto her shoulders.
"Let's go." Sakura said motioning for the rest to follow.
Please review and tell me what you think.
