Hey readers! Thanks for reviewing my story! I really appreciate it! Keep reviewing and don't be harsh please and thank you all! Sorry for the wait!

Recap

The group continued on until the boat came to a stop next to the bottom of the bridge.

"Thanks for the ride sir". Said Sakura.

The group continued walking towards the village, unknown to the dangers that wait for them.

End of Recap

As the group was walking in the forest, Sakura started to get alert. She knew that creep Zabuza was going to show up any minute.

Then all of a sudden Kakashi yelled "Everyone Get Down"!

A long butcher knife like sword was headed their way and got stuck on a tree.

Then a man appeared on the sword with his arms folded across his chest.

"Well, well well, looks like Tanzua gotten him some body guards. "Wont do much good, their in my way'.

"Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura guard Tanzua"! Yelled Kakashi

The group took formation and surrounded Tanzua.

"Zabuza, what do you want"!

"I want the bridge builder".

'WELL YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM"! Yelled Naruto

"Guess I will have to kill him along with you".

He jumped down from his spot and went after them, but Kakashi blocked him.

The fight continued with Zabuza and Kakashi while Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura watched.

Kakashi wanted this match to end so he pulled down his mask that covered his right eye reveling the sharingan. Sasuke was surprised. "How does he have that, only our clan has it"!

"Your time is about to come to an end, I see your future and its death"! Said Kakashi

"So the rumors are true, you are the copy cat ninja, makes the match much more interesting". Said Zabuza

The battle was on again, but Zabuza made a clone that put Kakashi in a water prison.

"Now that he is out the way, time to take out the shrimps".

"Everyone be prepared"! Shouted Sakura

Zabuza ran towards them, but Naruto ran after him too. The both collided sending Naruto back.

"Naruto"! Said Sakura

Naruto looked at his hand, "I will protect Tanzua, and I made a promise"!

"Sasuke are you thinking what I'm thinking"?

"Yeah let's get him".

"Time to kick some ass"!

Sasuke took out his demon wind shurikin and activated his shaningan. "So Sasuke gotten the shaningan, I already knew that was going to happen". Sakura said

"Ha shurkins don't work on me", he said while dodging it

But the shurikin wasn't a shurikin it was Naruto who had a kunai in his hand. "Take this"! he threw it at the clone holding Kakashi, causing the clone to let go of the prison and setting Kakashi free.

Zabuza ran towards Naruto ready to strike him, but Kakashi stood in the way of him.

'Good job Naruto and Sasuke, thanks to you, I was set free. You can take a break"

The match was close to its end until an unknown man killed him in the throat with needle like kunais.

Everyone looked up to see the unknown man.

'Thank you for finding him; I will take my leave now". He disappeared with Zabuza on his back.

Then Kakashi fainted from exhaustion. "Kakashi- sensei"! Yelled Naruto

"We have to get him to the village". Said Sakura

The group carried the knocked out Kakashi to the village and laid him down. As soon as they laid him down, Sakura checked out his wounds. He had a wound on his arm, broken leg, and an injury on his chest. She started to work on his chest and arm. She could tell that Kakashi liked the feel of chakra healing him by the smile creeping up his face, even if it was covered by his mask.

The door open to revel a young women with a wash clothe in her hands.

"Lord what happen to him?! She said.

"We were attacked, said Tanzua "he saved my lives along with the help of his students". Naruto grinned, Sasuke smirked and Sakura smiled.

Kakashi POV

Kakashi was relaxing for a minute when he realized that Zabuza was not dead. He jumped up with a pained looked on his face, scaring Naruto and making Sakura jumped. Sasuke didn't care at the moment.

"Something's not right". He said

"What's wrong"? Asked Sakura

"Zabuza is not dead". "WHAT"! "But you said and saw with you our eyes and mouth that he was dead"! Said Naruto

"There is a medical technique that paralyzed their victim and stops their flow of chakra for as long as the please and make the person presume to be dead". The intruder that came and supposedly killed Zabuza didn't hit the vital points in his neck and only paralyzed him and cause him to become stiff for a while". Explained Kakashi

"They can take out those needles and bring that back to life even though they weren't really dead".

'So you're saying that, Zabuza was only paralyzed for a while till we left and you think the intruder brought him back"? Said Sakura. Even thought she knew that he was going to come back for them sooner or later, she still wanted to be prepared.

"Naruto Sasuke and Sakura there is something that I want to teach you, come with me".

Normal POV

The group walked into a forest with a little clearing and stopped.

'I am going to teach how to climb trees".

"How is that going to teach us anything"? Asked Naruto

"You're not going to use your hands". Said Kakashi as he pumped chakra into his feet and started to walk up the tree.

Naruto was baffled and Sasuke was ready to learn how. Sakura didn't care she already knew how to do it with out breaking a sweat.

'Kakashi threw down three kunai. "This is how we are going to test who has the better charka control".

Ready, set GO"!

The group ran towards the trees. Naruto fell as soon as he hit the beginning, Sasuke made it half way before putting to much chakra into his feet and jumped back down".

Kakashi noticed how the two boys of the group didn't make it to the highest point. He was trying to hold back a laugh that was threatened to come out after watching Naruto.

He soon realized that Sakura was nowhere to be found.

"Where's Sakura"? Asked Naruto

"Up here"!

Everyone looked up to see Sakura on one of the highest branches of the tree.

"This was too easy Kakashi sensei; give me more of a challenge". She said laughing

'Well it looks like the female of the group has the best chakra control". She might be able to become a Hokage one day if she can keep that going and put it into justsu's and she might be stronger and able to learn more than the Uchiha clan".

"You know Kakashi sensei, you may be right, Naruto lack of control made him fall at the bottom of the tree and Sasuke is too into revenge and power to even care about the things around him, I'll be surprise if he will be able to make any accomplishments if that's all he think about". She said gloating.

After this comment, Sasuke was mad and surprised that she said that, he just didn't show it'.

"Awwww, Sakura you had to gloat didn't yah?

"Yup" she said giggling

'Ok group you keep practicing on this and see how you improve.

After three hours the group was tired, Sakura was just out of breath.

Then Naruto got an idea, if he asked Sakura how she did it he might be able to beat Sasuke.

'Hey Sakura can you help me with this tree climbing thing"?

"Sure" after five minutes, Naruto understood how she did it so easily.

Kakashi left Naruto and Sasuke to finish their training.

Sasuke noticed Naruto was only a few steppes behind him every time.

"How is he catching up so quickly"? "He was just falling down the tree"? He then remembered Naruto going to ask Sakura about something. He figure that he ask her about this tree climbing thing.

While Naruto sat down and thought about what Sakura said and how can he beat Sasuke.

"If I stop thinking about Sasuke I can concentrate and climb the tree"! So he sat at the bottom of the tree and relaxed and lost his train of though that dealt with Sasuke.

"If I can concentrate I can climb this stupid tree" He said

As he was about to climb the tree Sasuke can and interrupted his concentration and caused him to fall again.

"What do you want, you just ruined my concentration"!

"Well, ummm".

"Well what is it"?!

"What did Sakura tell you"?

Naruto was surprised that the great Uchiha was interested in what Sakura told him. He could use this for as an advantaged.

"Why should I tell you"? he said laughing

This cause to Sasuke to be annoyed. "Why that weak little brat"! He thought

Hey readers I just wanted to skip the Sakura shopping part, it was kind of boring. Hope you don't mind. Starting where Naruto was still in the forest training.

Naruto had been in the forest training the whole day. The group was worried that Naruto would never make it back, so Sasuke went to get him. In the forest, Naruto was exhausted from training. Then a girl by the look of it saw him laying there. She walked to him and tried to wake him up.

"Hey you shouldn't sleep on the ground, you'll catch a cold".

Naruto woke up to see a girl hovering over him. Then out of the blue there girl asked him was there someone he liked, loved, or cared for. Naruto being dense didn't know what she was talking about. 'What's up with this chick, she comes out of nowhere, ask me these weird questions and start to look lost"? He thought

"My name is Haku, what's yours"?

"Naruto Uzamaki and I are going to be the next Hokage, believe it"!

"That's a mighty big dream you have, too dreams don't happen".

"If I train and become stronger I can make that dream happen, so don't tell me that dreams can't come true"!

Haku was surprised that he was so strong willed about his dream.

Then she sensed an intruder headed towards where they were, so she decided to go away from him".

"I doubt we will meet again so might as well tell you that I'm a boy".

Naruto was in complete shock. Then Sasuke came out of the bushes just in time to see Haku walk away. He didn't like the feeling that he was giving off and gave him a glared. Haku just smiled and walked away.

Naruto was still sitting there in a daze trying to figure out what just happen. "Dobe lets go, your taking too long". So he and Naruto walked back to the house.

The next morning Naruto was too tired to get up so Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi went to take Tanzua to the bridge. The sight they saw was not what they expected. Dead bodies were everywhere and the bridge was surrounded by a thick mist.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha seems like you didn't kill me Kakashi". They saw Zabuza and an unknown person standing on the bridge. (They didn't know that it was Haku cause of the mask).

"I guess we will have to continue where we left off huh Kakashi".

Zabuza disappeared in the mist and created shadow clones. "Sasuke you can do the honors" Kakashi said

Sasuke smirked and activated his sharingan attacking all the clones that surrounded them.

This marking the beginning of the fight.

Hey readers sorry if I skipped a few parts, but I could not remember the name of Tanzua son and daughter and I didn't want to give them the wrong name. Please don't think wrong of me! Hope you enjoyed this chapter and please don't leave harsh reviews". Also, I think I got the story a little wrong here. I can't remember if Sasuke gotten the shaningan fighting Zabuza the first or the second time. Please tell me if that's wrong or ok because I can't remember. My chapter 5 will be messed up if that's true because I am posting them at the same time. But please review!
