Chapter 4: Land of Waves

The citizens of Konoha were all going about their business, following their daily routine. It was sunny and there was a slight breeze that made always made it a good day to do anything in Konoha and gave off a serene and peaceful vibe. But there were some who would disagree. A small figure blurred and ran in-between the legs of the villagers and bumped a few of them causing them to stumble and lose their balance. People looked behind them to spot an animal dashing through everyone. On the rooftops of a building was Naruto in pursuit.

"Target is evading all advances, im in position and on standby, scouting target's location. Request to pursue." He used the small radio device for recon purposes. In a tree not far from Naruto was Sasuke.

"Im closer than Naruto, and I won't provoke the target like he did."

"Hey! How was I supposed to know that he didn't like being scratched behind the ears? Normal cats do." Naruto mumbled the last bit to himself.

"Naruto shut up, you know he's right. All you had to do was feed him the bait."

"Grrr…" Naruto was about to yell at them but was interrupted by Kakashi.

"Ma ma, don't get antsy. I'll give the go when all of you are in close range position."

"Hai sensei!" They replied. They all came close in on the perimeter of the target.

"Hawk in place."

"Cherry-blossom is set."

"Swift is ready to go."

"Alright team, hajime!" With the order at hand, they blurred and cornered the cat and all three of them caught it by its legs. Naruto put his arms under its belly-side and used his other arms to hold its front legs. Sasuke got up and looked at its ear. He radioed Kakashi.

"Target confirmed by the ribbon on its ear."

"Good job team, I knew you could do it. Let's return to Hokage Office."

"Ah so you completed the infamous capture Tora mission." Hiruzen buzzed in and called for the Fire Daimyo's wife. She came running in and hugged Tora to death. You could easily tell as it was suffocating.

"Oh, my poor little baby. Running off like that; you had me worried sick. Something could've happened to you..." She kept going on and on while swinging him around like a young girl would with her stuffed animal which Naruto was smirking at the sight. It pleased him more with each passing second.

'Yes, squeeze the little demon to death. Ku ku ku.' Naruto was enjoying every second and Hiruzen sighed at Naruto's antics. 'It seems he hasn't changed all together since he's been back.' She threw the bag of money on the desk where Chunin Iruka caught it and counted it.

"Alright then," Hiruzen started, as he shuffled through the mission files, "Team 7, for your next mission you can: babysit a bedridden mother's son, pull out weeds in an elder's farm, walk the Inuzuka dogs or–" Hiruzen was cut off by yelp.

"NOOO Tora, please come back!" He continued to say: "Or recapture Tora." He mused; Naruto shook his head.

"No more, I'm tired and im sick and tired of doing these chores that are so called missions." Sasuke agreed by nodding his head. Sakura nudged Naruto, interrupting his speech and bowed.

"I'm sorry for Naruto's outburst he didn't mean it, right Naruto?" She exclaimed sweetly, with a creepy smile plastered on her face. Naruto ignored her attempt to scare him, if he hadn't trained with Madara, who drilled everything he knew into the boy, or even was head over heels for her it might have worked but that wasn't the case, he continued.

"No," he said sternly, "I meant every word I said. Seriously, you can have the academy students do this. These don't do anything for our Shinobi training. I want a real mission." Kakashi grimaced at Naruto's words and with Sasuke supporting him.

'He doesn't understand that I'm the one that the Hokage deals with after this.' He thought when he sweated a few bullets. Iruka decided to talk some sense in Naruto.

"Be that as it may Naruto, you're a rookie, fresh out the academy Genin! Everyone starts off with the basics and works their way up!"

"Yeah that may be true, but why the crappiest of all the D-rank?" He turned to the Hokage for answers.

"We send off all the D-rank missions to the Genin on their first year to build up teamwork. Naruto teamwork is essential for every ninja when performing a mission. If we sent out newly Genin on a B-rank mission they wouldn't return the same way they left if they came back at all!"

"We're not asking for a B-rank, an A-rank; none of that. Just a simple C-rank mission is all."

"Naruto–" Iruka was cut off by the hand of Hiruzen.

"Sigh, you're not gonna let this go are you Naruto?" Naruto shook his head 'no'. "Then I guess I'll give you one C-rank mission." Naruto pumped his fist in the air. Sasuke had a smirk on his face arms folded. Sakura sighed in relief but inside of her head. 'CHA now we get to test our skills and Sasuke can finally notice me.' Hiruzen had buzzed in the front office. Naruto noticed and asked what the mission was.

"You'll be guarding someone as they head home to Nami no Kuni." The door opened to show and old man with a straw hat. He had a grey beard surrounding his lower face. He had a bottle of sake present in his hand and was slightly drunk.

"Huh? You're giving me a bunch of brats, are they even ninja?" That comment caused team 7 to become instantly irritated. "Now the Blondie looks like he could do someone in with those staffs of his if he was trained right." Naruto didn't know whether to take it as an insult or a compliment so just eased his gaze only a little.

"Anyway I'm the super expert bridge-builder Tazuna and I expect protection from here back to Nani no Kuni to complete my bridge." He said. Kakashi spoke.

"Don't worry Tazuna-san; I can assure you that my team and I will bring you home safely." Tazuna nodded and left. Kakashi turned to his team. "Alright team we'll be leaving in 30 minutes so pack your bags.

Team seven and Tazuna were leaving the Leaf village on towards the Land of Waves. It's been only a couple of hours since they had left. It was sunny, bright and dry. They continued walking, in silence passing by a small puddle. Naruto stared at it and for a split second before turning his attention back to the road. As they were farther ahead of the puddle two figures appeared from it. They spoke to each other in whispers.

"Gozu, let's go." Gozu nodded towards his brother Meizu and the two demon brothers sprung and attacked Kakashi with their gauntlets by wrapping him in their chains ripping him to shreds, they headed towards the group but Naruto appeared before them and kicked Meizu towards Sasuke who had already been performing hand signs after coming over his shock.

"Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu!" (Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!) Sasuke spewed out a rolling sphere of fire that was speeding towards Meizu. He narrowly dodged it but was unprepared for Sasuke's fist connecting to his face knocking him out. Naruto on the other hand was dodging his opponent, Gozu's gauntlet and chain with ease.

"Come on, is this all Kiri has to offer for Shinobi?" He taunted, Gozu glared and started speeding up his movements.

"Don't you dare mock me! I left that retched village; soon we'll return to overthrow that tyrant of a Mizukage Yagura." Gozu's gauntlet clashed with both of Naruto's staff.

"Well, then what does you attacking us accomplish?"

"Like I would ever tell you." He pushed Naruto back and swung his chain onto Naruto's hand and pulled him forward to slash his face. As Naruto was pulled the chain was cut by Kakashi who appeared behind the mist Chunin and knocked him out with a single chop to the neck. He grabbed both of the Chunin and tied them up with rope. Tazuna starred at Kakashi in surprise.

"How the heck are you still alive?"

"I used the substitution jutsu. With that I switched a log in my place at the exact time to observe from the trees." Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto starred at their sensei with questioning glances. "I did so for two reasons, to test you three to see how you'd react in a situation as you did and I have to say I'm impressed. Sakura, you stood your ground, defending the objective, Naruto and Sasuke, you two used the teamwork exorcises and defeated your opponents with ease. I'm proud." All three of them did a silent praise of their own. Sakura was the first to escape her praising.

"What's the second reason Kakashi-sensei?" The wind blew as Kakashi sent his gaze towards Tazuna.

"It was to see who they were targeting. Care to explain why Chunin-class shinobi are targeting you Tazuna?" There were a multitude of facial emotions that painted over Tazuna's face. First it was shock, then fear, and last it changed to sorrow.

"I'm sorry I lied to you and your Hokage. All the money we could muster up was enough for a C-rank mission. We couldn't afford anything else. If you don't want to stay to continue the mission I'll understand."

"Hmm, I don't know. This changes everything. I'm pretty sure they're not alone and procedure calls for us to return to the village since this could turn out to be at least a B-rank mission. If anything it's up to these three." Kakashi said pointing to the Genin. Naruto stared at the ground for a long minute before coming to a decision.

"I say we continue. We've been this far already and it wouldn't sit right with me knowing that a village in need of help is in danger and there was something I can do about it."

"I agree with Naruto." Was all Sasuke said, Sakura nodded in accord. Kakashi smiled at his students.

"Well then I guess we'll continue with the mission." Tazuna lightened up at his words while receiving a small cheer from Naruto.

Team 7 and Tazuna were on a boat with a fellow villager from Wave Country. A heavy mist was present throughout the sky making it a little complicated to see but cleared up slowly but surely as they came closer to Wave. Sakura while sitting had been thinking about everything so far and had decided to ask a question that had been on her mind.

"So are there any ninja in your country?"

"No, our village is but a small port and fishing city. It was once a prospering village filled with life and, peace and joy, we had enough to make a living for wants and needs each year which gave every day its own difference but that all changed when a tyrant of a man named Gato came and took almost all of our profit. " Kakashi perked up at the mention of the name.

"Wait, you mean Gato of Gato corps one of the richest men in the world?"

"Yep, that very one, he leaves us the least amount of food for us to live off and he crushed ever single happiness that we had." They passed an unfinished bridged that was enormous.

'Hmm, if this is Gato we're dealing with then we might come into contact with someone of my level.' Kakashi thought.

"Sugoi!" Naruto blurted out. The villager glared and chided him.

"Keep it quiet, we don't want any of Gato's men to find us." Naruto sheepishly scratched the back of his head.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to be so loud. I just couldn't help but acknowledge this bridge. It's amazing." Tazuna smiled at the praise.

"Yeah, Gato took control of our village using his wealth and violence. With this bridge it will not only crush his control over our village, but it will renew and will represent our hope. When Gato had entered he took control of everything. The feudal lords of our country don't even have money, but the one thing he fears is the completion of this bridge."

"So he sees you as a hindrance to his plans." Sakura mentioned with Sasuke finishing from where she left off.

"Therefore he's sending Chunin-level shinobi after you to stop you from completing it." Tazuna nodded. The four shinobi sat in silence for the rest of the trip. The boat traveled into a tunnel that led them to a market outside the inner village.

"Alright, we'd come this far without any of his men discovering us. This is as far as I go."

"Thank you, you've been a major help." Tazuna thanked the villager who rode away on his boat with the engine become faint as he was farther away. Tazuna turned back to Team 7.

"Alright, take me to my home safely." He walked leading the way to his house.

They had finally had set foot on Wave and were onward in small woodland area. Naruto was walking and aimlessly inspecting the terrain. He heard a rustling noise in a nearby bush. He reached down towards his kunai-holder. In an instant he hurled the kunai into the bush and quickly ran to inspect it. The team had stopped walking when they saw what Naruto did. What he had found he had hit was none other than a rabbit. Sakura ran to it and tended to its care.

"Naruto look what you did! You injured a poor innocent rabbit." She cuddled the white furred creature with the broken foot, Naruto sweat-dropped at the site. He continued to stare at the rabbit when he noticed something.

'Wait! Why does it have white fur? Woodland animals coat are supposed to be their natural color since its summertime. Their only supposed to have white fur in the winter season, so why does it... unless it was deliberately kept inside… but who?' Naruto looked at Kakashi whose eye warped into a cold gaze as he nodded to him. Sasuke had caught on to the silent message that Kakashi had obviously told them, 'Be prepared for anything.' Kakashi's eye widened and shouted to the team and Tazuna.

"Everyone, get down!" he tackled Tazuna as the others dived towards the ground. An overly huge broadsword had spun into a tree that would've decapitated their heads. Kakashi rose from the ground to face the perpetrator. There present, standing on the handle of the sword was a tall and noticeably muscular man with pale skin, short spiky black hair, brown eyes, and small eyebrows. He was seen shirtless; with his chest only covered by a belt, wearing baggy pants with the striped pattern and mimetic wrist-warmers extending up to his elbows, with matching leg-warmers. Kakashi narrowed his eye at the man.

'If I'm not mistaken that's…' The man turned his head showing his Hitai-ate slanted on his head showing the insignia for 'Mist'. Kakashi called out to him.

"Well well, if isn't the rogue Nin of the Hidden Mist, Zabuza Momochi." Naruto stood ready walking forward towards Kakashi.

"Kakashi-sensei, I got your back." He whispered.

"No, stay back with Sasuke and Sakura and protect Tazuna. He's on a whole different level than the Chunin from the other day." Kakashi reached for his Hitai-ate.

'He being our opponent means... that things are going to get tricky.'

"Ah, so you're Sharingan no Kakashi." Zabuza spoke. Sasuke stood in surprise before narrowing his eyes. "Sorry, but you can hand the old man over to me." Kakashi's hand was on his Hitai-ate on standby.

"Get in battle formation you guys. Protect Tazuna. Don't get involved with this fight. That's the teamwork in this situation." Zabuza glared at Kakashi. "Fight me!" Kakashi lifted his Hitai-ate to reveal a fully matured Sharingan. Naruto stared at Kakashi.

'So It wasn't my imagination then, you do have a Sharingan. I guess I'll watch for now sensei.' Naruto jumped backwards towards Tazuna with both of his staff's in hand.

"I never expected to see the rumored Sharingan this soon. What an honor."

"W-what's this Sharingan that everyone keeps mentioning?" Tazuna asked.

"Sharingan," Sasuke said. "It's a Doujutsu (Visual Jutsu Art) that only a few from the Uchiha clan are able to awaken. It allows the user to see through Gen, Tai, and Ninjutsu and the ability to deflect them. Though this not the only power of the Sharingan." Tazuna looked at Sasuke.

"He must be wondering why someone outside his clan has the Sharingan."

'It's the first time you spoke in a week Kurama, but you're right. I wonder what'd happen if he found out about my Sharingan.' Naruto thought

"Well said. That frightening eye also has the power to copy an opponent's jutsu and use it against them." A heavy mist rolled in covering everything. "When I was in the Anbu Black Ops back in Kirigakure, there was information on you in the Bingo Book that I carried around. Also in the book it told about 'the man who copied over one-thousand skills, Kakashi the Copy-ninja." Sasuke stared at Kakashi while pondering in thought about his sensei.

'The Sharingan is a special trait that appears to a select few to even the Uchiha clan. Could it be that Kakashi…?' He was confused and was led to think of the possibility if Kakashi was an Uchiha, but was interrupted by Zabuza.

"Enough talk. I'm killing the old man, even if I have to go through you Kakashi." Zabuza jumped off his sword, he grabbed it, standing on top of the river. Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura stood close to Tazuna with their weapons ready. Zabuza formed the Ram hand-sign in continuance of a jutsu.

"Ninpo: Kirigakure no Jutsu!" (Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Jutsu!) A heavy mist rolled in covering the scenery as he made the Ram hand-seal disappearing into to the mist. Naruto clenched his eyes trying his hardest to see.

"Gah! What is up with this Mist? It's heavy."

"Wave country is surrounded by water so it's easy for mist to rise." Tazuna answered.

"Eight points." Zabuza's voice sounded throughout the area. "Larynx: Spine, Lungs, Liver, Jugular, Subclavian artery, Kidneys, Heart. Now… which will be my attack point?"

Kakashi flared his chakra as he released his KI. Sasuke stood frozen in fear.

'This pure Killer Intent, I-I've never felt anything like this before. I got to end it all'Sasuke reached for the Kunai-holder on his right leg but stopped when he heard the voice of his sensei.

"Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, don't worry I'll protect you with my. I won't allow my comrades to die trust me." He turned his head to them showing a soft smile.

"I wouldn't be so sure." Not a second later Zabuza appear between all three of the Genin and Tazuna. Kakashi's Sharingan flared wildly as Zabuza made his way to take the finishing blow on Tazuna. Kakashi used his agility to his advantage and stopped his opponent with Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto being shoved to the ground. Naruto watched in amazement at the sight.

'Whoa, so this is a true fight between Shinobi.' Kakashi stood still as Zabuza was frozen. There in his stomach was a Kunai but Zabuza wasn't bleeding blood. He was bleeding water. Before you knew it the Zabuza In front of them dispersed into a pile of water. Zabuza appeared into view – standing on top of the lake. Kakashi rushed at him the two shinobi clashed; kunai vs. sword, demon vs. man. Zabuza swung his sword, fixing to cleave of his opponents head off, but Kakashi ducked, falling face forward balancing on both hands on top of the lake. He used his body strength to his advantage by swinging his body in a 360 fan sweep. Zabuza front-flipped dodging Kakashi and jumped backwards towards land with Kakashi in pursuit. Zabuza summoned three water clones.

"That's not gonna help you Zabuza." The clones dashed forward. Kakashi slashed through the first one reducing it to water. Two shadows appeared into view; he looked up to see both clones with their Kubikiribōchō. The clone on the left slammed his blade down on Kakashi's kunai. Kakashi shoved him and narrowly dodged the other. He threw his kunai at the carbon copy. Without missing a beat he pulled it out and slammed the blunt end at the other one.

"Ha haa, good foot work Kakashi but don't forget about me." The water around Kakashi formed and incased him in a sphere completely made of water. Kakashi took in a deep breath before being completely incased. "Suiton: Suirō no jutsu." (Water Style: Water Prison Jutsu.) Kakashi watched as the water wrapped around him.

"Run! Leave me and take Tazuna somewhere safe. I'll be fine." Naruto began to protest.

"B-but sensei–" He was interrupted.

"I'll be fine; the mission is our top priority!" By the end of his sentence Kakashi was completely encased and trapped inside, all to the pleasure of Zabuza.

"He heh, I don't think so you little brats." Water rose from the ground and formed into two figures, which turned out to be water clones of Zabuza. "I wonder Kakashi. Will your Genin survive before you run low on oxygen, or will you be able to escape in time just to see them cut down." Zabuza laughed menacingly. The trio looked at each other debating on what they should do.

"Sasuke-kun, Naruto; I think we should follow-up with Kakashi's plan and take Tazuna as far as we can. We wouldn't stand a chance against him."

"I agree with her, Kakashi was obviously the strongest out of all of us and he's trapped inside that jutsu. Even though I don't like it, we have to take our best bet and come back with a strategy to strike hard." Sasuke said. Naruto abruptly shook his head at the thought.

"No! We won't leave Kaka-sensei here to die, he's our sensei." He argued.

"Naruto I know you want to save him but–"

"Do you remember the first thing he taught us?! He said that 'those who abandon the mission are trash, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash.' If we leave him now, then we might as well give in because we would be worse than the scum like Zabuza and this Gato!" Sasuke and Sakura silenced themselves. They couldn't think of a reason why Naruto's way was wrong. And even though they didn't want to admit it, he was right. Zabuza spoke.

"I'd listen to your friends' kid, there's no place in the world for wannabe shinobi like you. You think you're all special and that you're on top of the world and that this is a game. Just go home back to your mommy and daddy and go play ninja somewhere else brat." Zabuza said smirking. His words hit Naruto hard. He never did like it when people looked down and chastised others. His eyes shifted into ice-cold orbs.

"Don't underrate us as callow children. Don't let your status and rank lead you to believe that you're unbeatable Zabuza." Zabuza frowned at him. He scoffed and dismissed Naruto's warning as an idol threat.

"Tsk, as if I'll allow a bunch of little brats to beat me." His two clones dashed at them. The trio readied themselves. Naruto turned towards Sasuke.

"Sasuke, I'm gonna need you to take out the clone on the left, and then follow up with a little teamwork." He hinted. Sasuke nodded and went after the clone on the left. "Sakura stay here and protect Tazuna with your life!" He ran after the clone headed his way. Within reach of his enemy he spun on his right heel and sliced right through his victim reducing him to water. He looked towards Sasuke's direction and saw that he handled his opponent fine. Zabuza irritated with the fact that the Genin had defeated his clones easily made more and added some projectiles in the twist. Naruto rushed to his teammate's side and threw him in the air, just in time to dodge a number of kunai and shuriken courtesy of the nuke-nin he kept the three new clones busy, buying Sasuke time to initiate their plan. Sasuke had in both hands two items a double-bladed kunai, and a windmill shuriken.

"Fūma Shuriken: Kage Fūsha." (Demon Wind Shuriken: Windmill of Shadows.) When he stopped ascending he spun in the air and threw both weapons at Zabuza. The shuriken pierced through the air reeling proceeding to the nuke. Sasuke landed on the ground. 'I hope you know what your doing Naruto.'

Zabuza braced his sword, the shuriken hit dead on with Zabuza's Kubikiribōchō, still rotating wildly plus the unusual kunai didn't make it better. But, being a veteran Jōnin he batted both projectiles high in the air, which caused him to be distracted. The blonde brat, as he preferred to call him, was rushing towards him. He smirked as he tightened his grip on Kubikiribōchō with a twisted grin plastered on his face.

'Nice knowing you brat.' He thought. Team Kakashi was worried for Naruto, including Tazuna. A bead of sweat rolled down his cheek as the head-cleaver was only mere inches away his face but his eyes still held coldness within them. Zabuza swung the blade but his enemy had vanished with a swift breeze left in his wake.

"What the hell! Where did the brat go?" He searched franticly for Naruto. Naruto spawned in the air where the kunai and shuriken were descending. With his trademark kunai in hand, he threw the shuriken with great strength. He called out to him.

"Zabuza I'm up here!" Zabuza lifted his head and saw the shuriken heading towards him he was stood frozen in shock.

'How did he teleport up there? No one besides the Yondaime Hokage can accomplish such a feat. I gotta' drop the jutsu if I want to make it out alive,' Zabuza released his hold on Kakashi and dived away. Kakashi did the same; both Shinobi stood on water. Kakashi stood and flexed his muscles as he was now free from Zabuza's hold. He looked to Naruto's direction, which had descended from the sky onto his feet. He dropped to one knee, out of breath and sweating.

"Jin-kokān no jutsu is a success." He wheezed out. Kakashi was proud of his student. 'Pure genius, he made his own variation of Minato-sensei's Hirāshin no Jutsu. By the looks of it, after using the jutsu it leaves him drained with little chakra left. But with the coming years and more practice, he'll surpass you in no time sensei.' He spoke to his student as he saw him try to stand up.

"I'll handle the rest Naruto." Naruto saw the sincere look in his sensei's eyes and nodded. Kakashi turned to face Zabuza and glared at him, Sharingan spinning wildly. "Let's end this now Zabuza." Both jumped backwards covering distance between themselves. Zabuza flashed through hand-signs at a fast rate. Kakashi's Sharingan pulsed and spun wildly as he copied Zabuza to the point they both were going at the same pace. Both shouted.

"Suiton: Suiryūdan no jutsu!" (Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!) Four water tendrils formed from underneath the lake into a dragon on both of the Shinobi's side. The dragon roared and coiled around each other and bit into each other's side – crashing into the lake. Zabuza glared at Kakashi as both appeared before each other and battled for dominance with their weapon.

'Something isn't right,' Zabuza thought. 'His Sharingan can comprehend and replicate the enemy's technique. However, both jutsu occurred simultaneously. Could he?' Zabuza backed up to test his theory he ran in circles and stopped by performing the hand seal for the Kirigakure no jutsu. What scared him the most was that at the same time Kakashi did every move in perfect sync.

"He's not only copying him, he moves the same way at the same time!" Tazuna stated. Sakura looked at Sasuke. "Sasuke-kun, how is he doing that?" Sasuke didn't answer, all he did was watch. Naruto was not surprised none-of-the-less. He knew all of the techniques of the Sharingan more than anyone due to his training but he did have to say he was impressed with the way Kakashi was handeling the situation.

'My movements, it's as if… if at it's he knows what I'm –" Kakashi interrupted his thought.

"Going to do next?" Zabuza was dazed.

'What?! Is he reading my mind as well? The way he looks at me with that eye!'

"It makes you in furious doesn't it?" Kakashi asked. Zabuza formed hand-seals at a slow and steady pace with a dumbfounded expression.

"All you're doing is copying me." He said, but this time Kakashi spoke at the same time.

"You can't beat me with cheap tricks. I'll crush you!"

"You can't beat me with cheap tricks. I'll crush you!" Zabuza growled in frustration and sped up his hand-signs, Kakashi followed in perfect sync. "When I'm finished with you, you'll never open that monkey mouth again!" He roared. A figure formed behind Kakashi.

'What is that?' The shadowy figure became clearer to Zabuza as he saw himself behind Kakashi. 'But how, is it his Genjutsu?!'

Kakashi finished the jutsu while Zabuza stood. "Suiton: Daibakufu No Jutsu!" (Water Style: Great Waterfall Jutsu!) The water warped and formed into a wave the rose behind Kakashi and rushed at Zabuza. Zabuza couldn't do anything as he was still in shock. The wave crashed into him and slammed him into a tree, breaking some of the bones in his body. Kakashi walked up to him. He spurted out blood and water.

"Can, can you see the future?!"

"Yes, and in your future, there is death." Kakashi was about to slit Zabuza's throat but jumped a few yards back standing next to Naruto as senbon pierced the nuke-nin's neck. Zabuza eyes closed as he fell into an endless darkness. A ninja wearing a hunter-nin mask, which was white with thin, curved eye-holes and a red wavy design in place of the mouth, as well as the Kirigakure symbol etched in the top. Kakashi narrowed his eyes at the boy.

'He's around Naruto and Sasuke's age.'

"Thank you for helping me capturing him, I've been on his trail for months." Kakashi nodded to him. The ninja grabbed and placed Zabuza on his shoulders and left in a quick shun-shin. Kakashi sighed before falling face forward. Naruto caught him just before he hit the ground. Sasuke, Sakura, and Tazuna ran over to them.

"Is Kakashi-sensei alight?" Sakura asked. Naruto nodded.

"Yeah, he just depleted his chakra and is suffering from it. He'll be fine as long as we hurry and find a place for him to rest." She sighed in relief; Naruto turned his head to Tazuna. "Is your house close by?"

"Yes it's not too far, up ahead the road." Naruto sighed as he stood up with Kakashi on his shoulders. Sasuke helped him carry their sensei.

"Naruto, what was that jutsu that you used against Zabuza to free Kakashi?" Naruto glanced at Sasuke before speaking.

"It's a Jikūkan Ninjutsu, or Space-time Ninjutsu. It allows me to transport to wherever I throw my double-bladed kunai and teleport there in swift movement. You can say it's almost like the Fourth's Raijin no Jutsu but mine is far from matching up to his. Now let's hurry up and get our sensei fixed up." Sasuke nodded. He looked at Naruto seeing him in a whole different perspective and a newfound respect for his teammate.

'What he did back there in that fight was on a whole different level than what even an average Genin should be able to do. I've got to step up my game and not to let him take all the fun.'

Kurama poked his head up and conversed with his Jinchūriki. "It was pretty risky of you to use that jutsu seeing as how you haven't tested it! I had to use my chakra to fix some tendons that had snapped inside your ankles due to the high dose of wind chakra you sent there. If it wasn't for me you wouldn't have been able to walk for at least a couple for month even with the healing of an expert medic-nin."

'Aw, you actually can be sincere when you want to be.' Naruto cooed. Kurama growled at him. 'Alright, alright; I was just playing. But thanks for the help there Kurama. I really owe you one.'

"Just like all the other times." He mumbled.

End of Chapter

AN: / Hey guys, I'm finished with yet another chapter. I hoped you enjoyed. Until next time and pweeaase review.
