The team had contiuned their adveture towards the wave, after a short treck they reach a large ocean and Tazuna's ride was there waiting from them. They all hoped onto the boat and started sailing towards Wave.
Hinata looked at the floor of the boat and rubbed her bruised cheek, but was knocked out of her trance when someone's hand was gently placed on her right shoulder.
"Hey Hinata you ok?"Asked Genma with concern in his voice.
"I'm fine Genma-sensei, really!"Replied Hinata as she quickly added,"I'm just happy that I was of some help and not just sitting in the background while everyone else did something."
"Yeah she's right Genma-sensei, if Hinata hadn't helped Songai and I would have gotten our asses kicked."Commented Naruto as he smiled his usual smile and Songai just nodded in responce.
Hinata smiled and blushed,"Thank you Naruto-kun, Songai-kun, I promise you I won't be a liability."
Naruto wrapped his arm around her,"Ah ha ha ha ha, trust me Hinata our team will be number one and all will know of our greatness."Said Naruto which made Hinata blush like mad and almost pass out, but some how she managed to fight that feeling.
"Quite you fool, were nearing Wave and if someone hears us Gato's mercenary will be all over us."Demanded/Complained the boat driver as they all shut up and sat in total silence for the rest of the ride.
As the boat passed through the fog they all looked up and saw Tazuna's creation, the great bridge that would connect the Wave to the mainland.
After a few more minutes the boat hit the shore they all hopped off and onto the beach and turned to face the boat driver,"Tazuna, becareful and watch out for Gato's men."
"Thanks old friend and you take care too."Replied Tazuna as the rest of the team trecked through the thick fog and deep forest towards the village.
The team slowly made it's way through the forest and were happy to see that the morning fog lifted and the sun started to shine.
As the group walked along a trail towards Tazuna's home,"Alright Naruto it's time to show that old drunk that you can earn his respect." Thought Naruto ran ahead of the group and scoped the area and as he looked around he drew a kunai and threw it at some bushes, which startled everyone else.
"Naruto what the hell are you doing!"Demanded Songai as he bopped Naruto across the head.
Hinata looked through the bushes and found a small white rabbit resting against a tree tramatized,"Oh you poor thing."Said Hinata as she hugged the rabbit.
"Oh man I am so sorry little guy really I am!"Whined Naruto as he felt bad he almost killed the poor white rabbit.
"That's odd this rabbits fur it pure white, but it's only the middle of the summer, somethings not right." Thought Genma as he looked around and his senses quickly kicked in and he shouted,"Everybody get down, now!!"
Everyone ducked quickly as a giany sword flew over their heads and impaled a near-by tree and after a few moments a large man landed on the hilt and looked away from the team.
"Ahh...Who the hell are you!?"Demanded/screamed Naruto as he stood up and looked at the tall man who turned to face them.
"His name is Momochi Zabuza and he's a missing-nin from the Village Hidden in the Mist and a member of The Seven Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist."Claimed Genma as he looked at Zabuza and tried to get a basic read out on him.
"Ah, would you look at this Konoha decided to get a bunch of kids for such a high level mission, you kids must be really strong or really dumb."Insulted Zabuza as he crossed his arms and added,"Just give me Tazuna and I just might think about letting you live."
Songai drew his sword, Naruto got ready to make shadow clones and Hinata got into her juken stance, but they all stopped when Genma walked in front of them,"You guys stand back and protect Tazuna, this match will be two much for you."
"B-but-sensei d-do you really think you c-can take him on your own?"Asked Hinata who was worried over the safty of her sensei.
Genma turned to face them and smiled happily,"Don't worry I can take this guy, no problem."Reasured Genma as he drew a kunai and watched Zabuza closely.
"Ah, another Konoha-nin for me to slay, this will be fun."Said Zabuza as he grabbed the hilt of his sword and jumped from the tree and towards Genma ready to cleave his head clean off his shoulders.
Genma spat his Senbon at Zabuza and hit him square in the forehead which was enough of a distraction for Genma to dodge the attack and retaliate by kicking him in the stomach and sending flying towards the small lake that was near by.
Zabuza preformed a flip in mid-air and landed on his feet gracefully and placed his sword on his back and put his hands in the ram seal,"Kirigakure no Jutsu!"(Hidden mist jutsu) and soon the mist envlopes the area in a dense mist, making it hard for all of them to see.
"Ah, crap this is going to be a little bit tougher then I had first put."Commented Genma as he got ready for the onslaught, but was shocked for after a few minutes the attack came and Genma realized that he wasn't Zabuza's target it was..."Tazuna!!"
Naruto, Songai and Hinata stood around Tazuna to protect him, but they were all shocked to notice that Zabuza managed to get around their defensive postion and was about to swing his sword to cleave all four of them in half. But Genma managed to jump in their in time and grab Zabuza's arm and stop the attack while Naruto and the others got out of the way.
"Your opponent, not the kids. So I suggest you keep your mind on me!"Demanded Genma as he gave Zabuza a dirty look.
"Well then try not to bore me or I might have to finish you quickly then kill your students."Shot back Zabuza as he jumped back and got ready for the fight.
Genma readyed his kunai and charged at Zabuza. Zabuza swong his sword downwards which Genma was able to jump over and kick Zabuza in the face sending him back a little. Genma smirked only to few a blade against his shoulder as water clone struck Genma in the shoulder, but he was able to survive it by using a kawarimi to dodge the killing blow and cicrle around the clone and destroy it.
Zabuza smirked and swing his sword at Genma again only to have it lodged into the ground, Genma was about to strike Zabuza in the neck with his kunai only to see Zabuza use the hilt as leverage dodge the attack and kick Genma in the stomach sending him flying into across the trail/road thing they were on.
Zabuza yanked his sword out of the ground and charged at Genma, he dragged his sword across the ground ripping it apart and he lifted up the sword to strike Genma with it only to stop quickly as he noticed that there were makibishi which stopped his movments.
Genma lifted his head up from under the water in the lake for some air and noticed that Zabuza was missing,"Where the hell is he...and what's with this water it's so thick and heavy...Something is wrong!"Thought Genma as he got out of the water and before he could react Zabuza appared behind him and went though some handseals and shouted,"Suiro No Jutsu!"(water prision jutsu) soon a shpere of water entraped Genma.
Zabuza pulled one hand out of the shpere and created another water clone and had it walk towards the others.
Genma noticed this and quickly shouted,"You guys have to run now, this battle was lost the moment I became traped! He'll kill you all, now take Tazuna and run!"
As Genma said that it sent ripples of fear though their minds and hearts as the water clone got closer and if they didn't do anything they would die. Songai's hands were shaking, Naruto's heart felt like it was going to burst out of his chest and abandon him, and Hinata felt as if she were going to break down then and there and cry.
But all the while the clone got closer and closer until it stopped and looked at them giving them all a pitiful look,"Look at you all, shaking in the fear of death and you all try and call yourself genin. Your pathetic and weak."Said the Zabuza clone as he then added,"In Kirigakure for a student to pass into the rank of a genin one must be pitted agaisnt a fellow student in a one-on-one battle to the death. A true ninja must learn how to kill in order to become a true tool of killing."
Naruto, Songai, and Hinata then realized that Zabuza had been killing at a younge age and it seemed he enjoyed it. Then and there they had realized that running wouldn't even mean a thing, after they killed their sensei he would hunt them and kill them.
Songai looked the Zabuza clone dead in the eye and even though it was a clone, he could see the blood-lust and pain in his eyes and that's when he remembered something his mother once told me, something that his grandfather told her.
-Flashback-
Songai sat on his bed and was reading over his notes on the famous Hokages and heros though the timeline of Konoha and the ones that were traitors. And as he was goin over it his mother came in to tell him to go to bed.
"Songai-kun what are you reading?"Asked Jikei as she sat on the bed next to him.
"Oh nothing mom, just reading over the many heros of Konoha...and the ones that aren't so great."Answered Songai as he looked over the notes and then asked his mother,"Mom why do some people become evil and betray the ones they hold dear?"
"Well Songai you're grandfather told me this once. He said 'Jikei there are two kinds of people on this world, those who die hero's and those who live long enough to become villians'. I never really understood what my father said that day, but somehow it helped me get though my life as a ninja. And I hope it helps you."Finished Songia's mother as she hugged her son and kissed him on the forehead.
"That really made no sense mom, but somehow it did help...thanks."replied Songai as he got under the covers on his bed and got ready for his mother to tell him a bed time story about one of the many heros of Konoha which inspired his dream to become a hero.
-End FlashbackÂ-
Songai stood there and let his mothers words ring though his head for a moment before he lifted his sword over his shoulders and watched the Zabuza clone closely.
"Ah it looks like the little kid thinks he can take me, well I'll deam respectable and give you a warriors death."Commented Zabuza as he got ready to kill Songai.
Songai readyed his sword over his shoulders and threw the sheath at Zabuza which threw him off guard, which gave Songai time to charge Zabuza jump up and swung his sword at Zabuza hoping to kill him, only to be hit roughly by the blunt end of Zabuza's sword and sent flying into a tree.
Naruto saw his friend get beat around and charged at Zabuza to help him, the adrenaline was doing all the thinking for Naruto at the moment, so Naruto created tons of shadow clones and they all dogpiled Zabuza's clone. But that wasn't enough to stop him as he swung the sword wildly which destroyed all the clones and sent Naruto flying, even knocking off his headband.
"NARUTO-KUN!!"Yelled Hinata as she saw her crush get bat around by a powerful mist shinobi.
"Ah ha ha ha ha, you Konoha ninja are no fun, this is just a clone and I'm beating you around as if you were nothing."Said Zabuza as he stomped on Naruto's headband to taunt him and added,"You don't even desrive to be called shinobi!"
"Don't you dare insult Konoha, you know nothing about it!"Yelled Naruto as he stood up and looked at Zabuza's clone,"I swear if you insult Konoha or anyone from it, I'll kill you!"
Naruto with another burst of adrenaline charged Zabuza with shadow clones and kunai as they all jumped at him, they were all hacked down and Naruto was injured slightly. But this time he held something in his hand.
"Naruto-kun please stop you can't beat him!"Shouted Hinata as she was worried over the well being of her crush and noticed that he was holding something in his hand.
"Don't worry Hinata I'm fine."Reasured Naruto as he lifted up his headband and rewraped it around his head and got ready for the real fight and added,"I don't care what Genma-sensei said, cause I won't let this guy insult anyone from home."
That somehow made Hinata smile as she ran next to him and got into her juken stance.
"Hinata what are you doing?"Asked Naruto who was worried about her.
"Naruto-kun I made you a promise, I said I wouldn't just stand around in the background while you and Songai-kun do all the work."Shot-back Hinata who for once wasn't doing this for Naruto, but for herself to prove that she too is a shinobi.
Songai who was unconscious at the moment but was getting close to waking, but Naruto and Hinata knew this. So in the time being they would work together to atleast hold of Zabuza.
Naruto summoned more shadow clones and they all charged Zabuza distracking him with blind assults and kunai, while the real Naruto and Hinata charged him and went in with taijutsu.
Zabuza's clone was to distracked by all the clones and kunai being thrown at him to notice Naruto and Hinata charing him and delivering tons of strikes into the clone destroying it.
This greatly surprized Zabuza as he created another clone as they ran from the lake towards the two sword ready and he started hacking his way through the clones to get to Naruto and Hinata.
Naruto saw this and punshed Hinata out of the way and try and dodge the blade himself but he wasn't fast enough and he was slashed across the back.
Hinata looked up and shouted,"Naruto-kun!!" but that scream didn't last long as the Zabuza clone was lifting his swoard over his head and ready to kill her and she screamed at the top of her lungs which woke Naruto up and noticed Hinata was about to be struck down, so with all the strenght he could muster, drew his kunai and ran up behind the clone stabbing it in the back and destryoing it.
Zabuza smirked at their skills and dedication and so he created one more clone to attack them and as a test of skill. When Hinata screamed it also woke Songai as he stood up and joined the two of them ready for another battle.
"Hinata help Naruto with his wound, while I deal with the new clone, it's the most I can owe you two."Said Songai as he got into his kenjutu stance and ready for a fight, but also added before they could reply,"Both of you just shut-up and listen, I can handle this."
"How about you shut-up and stop trying to act so tough and getting yourself killed, were a team and we'll fight as a team!"Declaired Naruto as Hinata nodded in argement and they too got into their fight stances.
Songai sighed and got ready with them, he had a plan and as he looked at them, it seemed as they read his mind and they nodded.
The last Zabuza clone charged at them, and Naruto created 18 shadow clones as they distracked the clone as the three of them ran past the clone and ran towards the real Zabuza whom they knew couldn't move from that spot, he saw this and created two more clones as they charged them.
Naruto ran towards the one on the left, he jumped up and stabbed the clone the chest spalshing water all over. Hinata ran at the one to the right and struck it in the chest with a powerful juken strike causing more water to splash all over. All the while Songai ran through the middle of them and threw his sword at Zabuza.
Zabuza saw this and laughed at his attempt to defeat him, he jumped right over the blade and started laughing at them some more, only to notice that the blade Songai threw was acutually a shadow clone of Naruto who threw a kunai at Zabuza's head, this too he dodged. But the one thing he couldn't dodge was the real Songai and his sword which was aimed at his heart. So the only thing Zabuza could do was jump out of the way and slashed Songai across the chest sending him flying towards the shore, the slash almost killing him.
Even though Songai was gravly injured, Zabuza had to use both hands to strike Songai and because of this Genma was free and he used this chance to draw a kunai and stab Zabuza in the ribs, making him jump back.
Hinata and Naruto quickly ran to Songai's side to see if he was ok. Hinata pulled out her medical equipment and started to treat his wound which was a large gash on his chest. It wasn't a deep stab wound, but it will scar.
Genma jumped over to the shore to check up on his student,"Hinata how is he?"Asked Genma who was really worried about his student.
"H-He'll live, b-but he n-needs help."Answered Hinata as she poured salt on the wound to stop an infection and put bandages over the wound.
Genma and Naruto stood in front of Songai and Hinata to protect them.
While all that was going on inside Songai's mind was something competly different. There inside Songai's mind was nothing but darkness and it was cold, even if it was in his mind it all felt very real. Then all of a sudden Songai saw something, it was a small sphere a bright blue/yellow shpere almost like a small sun. It was buring hot just like the sun, yet when Songai touched it, it was so cold. Then he grasped it in his hand tightly and the energy shot up his arm into his chest and then into the his eyes causing him to scream in pain.
Finally out in the real world Songai's eyes were buring hot and he started to thrash then all of a sudden his eyes shot open and as they all looked into them there they saw, that Songai's red cat-like eyes turned into fiery yellow with a bright cold blue in the center. And soon a large burst of charka shot out of his body and went right back into his body, giving Songai a massive boast of energy. Songai stood up and looked at Zabuza at look that managed to shot fear into the man.
This battle was going to be something that you would only hear in fairy tales, a battle between a Hero and a Villian.
