Prove your Skill! Journey to the Land of Waves!
The sun rose high everyone was as still as a rock. They watched from their positions carefully in a deep forest.
"This is Riku I'm at point B."
"Kiki I'm at point C." They called over the radio static.
"This is Naruto I'm at point A Believe it!"
"You're Slow Naruto." Kakashi chastised before noticing a shift in the brush. "The Target has moved follow it!" Instantly the three young Ninja took off running at high speed. The Target had stopped in a clearing.
"Over there!" Naruto hissed running ahead to a tree for cover, Kiki and Riku stopping behind trees nearby.
"What's your distance from the Target?" Kakashi asked.
"Five Meters, I'm ready just give me the signal." Riku whispered back into his com. The Device was looped into his right ear with a small mic on the collar around his neck and a wire connected to it. Kiki and Naruto had similar devices.
"I'm ready too ya know." Naruto responded.
"So Am I." Kiki replied.
"Okay….Now!" Kakashi called. The three Darted out and dove for the Target. Naruto managed to wrap his arms around it; A Brown cat with black stripes on its head and a ribbon on its right ear.
"I've got him, I've got him!" Naruto called the cat slashed up his face Kiki quickly pulled it off him and the cat instantly relaxed in her arms.
"Aww it's okay did the mean Ninja hurt you?" Kiki cooed as the cat purred letting out a small meow in response. Naruto wasn't impressed.
"IT TRIES TO CLAW OUT MY EYES AND I'M THE MEAN ONE?!" Naruto screamed in irritation grinding his teeth a little glaring hatefully at the cat.
"Can you verify a ribbon on its right ear?" Kakashi asked.
"Affirmative we've got a positive I.D." Riku replied into the Com device as Hate Fire burned off Naruto as his glare bore into the cat that was innocently rubbing up against Kiki's neck and chest.
"Right," Kakashi said from his Position, "lost pet Tora Captured: Mission Accomplished."
"CAN'T WE GET A MISSION THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE CHASING CATS YA KNOW!? I HATE CATS BELIEVE IT!" Naruto screamed into the com making Kakashi flinch and fall over a little as several years of hearing was effectively shaved off his right ear.
"Ow Naruto too loud!" Riku hissed glaring.
"You're gonna hurt our ears and I think you blew out my right one." Kiki whined rubbing the side of her head.

A large fat lady with lots of Makeup and rings hugged Tora very tightly. "Oohh my poor Tora mommy was so worried about you, you naughty little fuzzball!" She said nuzzling it and squishing it Tora's eyes were literally popping out of his skull.
"Ha, ha, ha, stupid cat serves you right. It deserves to be squashed." Naruto laughed.
"I don't think so..." Kiki mumbled feeling sorry for the cat.
"Geeze no wonder he ran away…" Riku stated staring at how uncomfortable the cat was. The Lady went off and paid as they stood attention. Hiruzen looked over a sheet of paper.
"For Team Seven's next mission, we several available tasks; among them, babysitting the Chief Counselor's three year old. Helping his wife do, the shopping, digging up Potatoes-"
"Nooo!" Naruto immediately groaned. "I want a real mission something challenging and exciting come on old man!" he shouted crossing his arms.
"He's right we need something much more challenging. This is academy stuff." Riku agreed.
Kakashi sighed, he looked at Kiki thank heavens she hadn't said anything but she agreed he could see it in her eyes. "Sigh I knew this was coming." He inwardly groaned.
"How dare you!" Iruka shouted, "You're all new Genin with no experience! You're started out with simple missions like everyone else to develop your skills and prove yourself!" Iruka spat.
"Yeah but babysitting, How is that a mission?!" Riku asked Kakashi glared at him making him shut up. Naruto was about to open his mouth but Kakashi whacked him on the head slightly making him shut up as well.
"Naruto, Riku, Kiki. It seems none of you understand the tasks you've been given. Many requests come into our village from babysitting to Assassination. Each mission is recorded analyzed and ranked depending on their difficulty. S, A, B, C and D. We ninja are ranked as well. Hokage, at the top. Jonin, Chunin, then Genin. We assign each ninja a mission based on the appropriate skills. B and C ranks are usually given to Chunin C and D ranks are Genin and S and A ranks are reserved for Jonin. If the mission is successful you'll receive a fee that supports the village." Hiruzen explained. "As you are untrained Genin beginning down your Ninja path. You'll be given D rank Missions of course."
"Rrrrmmmg come on I'm not a little kid anymore none of us are! We're Ninja now and we want a Ninja Mission." Naruto stated crossing his arms and puffing, Riku nodding in agreement.
"He's right we need a chance to really prove ourselves!" Kiki agreed.
"And there it is…." Kakashi sighed in his mind hanging his head. "I'll definitely hear about this later…"
Hiruzen chuckled as Iruka softened up impressed by their determination. "You want us to know that you're not children anymore eh? So be it since you're all so determined I'm going to give you a C ranked mission."
"Alright!" Riku cheered.
"You'll be body guards." Hiruzen briefed.
"Really who is it a princess or some busily counselor?" Naruto asked.
"He's in the ball park." Riku thought.
"Don't be so impatient I'll send him in now. Send him in." Hiruzen smirked as the door opened revealing an older man with grey spiky hair and a goatee with a black sleeveless tunic and brown pants wearing a belt and a towel over his shoulders wearing a brown wooden hat tied under his chin that was pointed and curled out. He was guzzling down a bottle of Whiskey. "What the- a bunch of snot nose brats." He said with a slight slur. "And you the short one with the idiotic look on your face ya really expect me to believe you're a ninja?"
Naruto laughed but his mind quickly caught up. "Short one?" he asked he then evaluated the heights of he and his teammates in his head and screamed holding his head in horror when he realized the man was talking about him. He then instantly rushed for him while Riku held him back holding on to his collar with little difficulty.
"Our job is to protect himnot throttle him." Riku sighed as Naruto babbled about wanting a piece of him and how he would destroy him; and trying to taunt the man into a fight with him.
"I am Tazuna a master bridge builder." He said composing himself. "I need to return to my country. I am creating a bridge that will change our world. And I expect you to get me there safely even if it means giving up your lives."

The group left the village after getting supplies and headed out. Naruto let out a proud happy yell. "What are you so excited about? We've barely left." Kiki said with a slight giggle.
"This is my first time leaving the village I'm a traveler now you know!" Naruto said happily looking at all the forest stretching around him.
"Geeze how are you gonna handle when we actually put some distance between us and the village." Riku sighed goodheartedly shaking his head.
"Hey am I supposed to trust this runt with my life? He's a Joke!" Tazuna growled pointing at Naruto. Naruto heard that last part and the laughter instantly stopped. As a glare facing away from them was formed on his face.
Kakashi chuckled he's with me and I'm a Jonin so you'll be fine." Kakashi assured.
"This runt is a joke this runt is a joke!" Tazuna's words ran through Naruto's mind. Riku couldn't help but notice that Tazuna had nothing to say to him and Kiki maybe he felt safer with them because he believed they were at least semi competent. Naruto sharply turned around.
"Hey! Never insult a Ninja it's a big mistake! And I'm a great Ninja ya know! Someday I'm gonna be the greatest Hokage. Remember the name Naruto Uzamaki!" He declared proudly.
Tazuna stared at him for a few minutes and took a swig from his bottle. "Hokage are powerful and wise. You are puny and brainless." He replied curtly. "I'll sprout wings the day you become Hokage!"
"Shut up! I'm gonna do whatever it takes to be Hokage ya know! And when I become the greatest Hokage everyone will know who I am! And you'll have to admit that I'm the best!" Naruto spat.
"Hmph you could become Hokage ten times over. And to me you'll still be a puny loser." Tazuna replied simply walking off as Naruto charged at him.
"Let me at him, let me at him, come here, I'll make you pay! Let me go! One shot gimme one shot!" Naruto shouted trying to get free of Kakashi's grip this time.
"That's enough Naruto he's our ward not our enemy!" Kakashi warned as they were watched from the trees by two figures who, went on ahead.
The group continued on their way for some time. Pretty silent until Kiki broke the silence. "Uhh Mr. Tazuna you're village is the land of waves right?"
"Yeah what of it?" Tazuna curtly asked.
"Aren't there Ninja in that country Kakashi Sensei?" Kiki asked.
As Kakashi walked he explained images of a world map popped into their minds as he spoke."No there are no Ninja in the Land of waves. But in other Countries there are other Hidden Villages each with their own Customs and Cultures where Ninja reside. To the people of this continent the existence of Shinobi villages means strength. Military Strength; this is how they defend themselves and protect the balance of power between other countries. They have no Government; they're independent and have Equal status. Now a small island like the land of waves has protection from the sea. So there's no need for a Ninja village. The Five Ancient lands that possess Ninja Villages are the lands of Fire, Water, Lightning Wind and Earth. They occupy vast amounts of territory and together they're known as the Five Great Shinobi Nations."
"Right," Riku said quietly.
"The Land of Fire has the Village Hidden in the Leaves. The Land of Water has the Village hidden in the Mist; The Land of Lightning the Village Hidden in the clouds; The Land of Wind the Village hidden in the Sand and the Land of Earth the Village Hidden in the stones."
"The One Village System was invented by my Great Grandfather Hashirama when he founded the Village Hidden in the Leaves other countries made their's based off that System." Kiki happily recited. "Only the leaders of these Villages get the title Kage which means Shadow. Hokage, Mizukage, Raikage, Kazekage and Tsuchikage; and together they govern thousands of Ninja including us. In other words Lords Third and Fourth are really important."
"That's correct, as expected from the Great Granddaughter of the First Hokage." Kakashi said very pleased.
"Too much!" Naruto moaned holding his head which had steam flowing out of his ears.
"Well you've gotta know this stuff if you're gonna be Hokage right?" Riku encouraged.
"You're assuming he doesn't get himself killed or if he even goes up a rank." Tazuna replied from in front of them. Naruto instantly lashed out Riku holding him back again.
"Lemme at him Riku, one shot's all I need. Come here you I'll make you pay believe it! Lemme go Lemme go!" Naruto shouted thrashing to get at Tazuna.
"Why'd you piss him off old man? Why?" Riku growled half groaning in his thoughts eye twitching as he held Naruto back.
"Well anyway, there are no Ninja battles in a C ranked mission so you guys have nothing to worry about." Kakashi assured. Kiki looked over at Riku who was finally letting go a slightly tired Naruto who had given up on attacking Tazuna for the third time.
"If that's the case, then Naruto's going to be his only problem…" Kiki replied simply.
X X X
They continued on. Vast canopies of trees passing by as they walked. Even crossing a bridge at one point from what Riku could tell they were headed south east they passed a pair of puddles on the ground. As they left them behind however they turned Dark cloaked figures with face masks they instantly attacked revealing brown camo outfits underneath. One threw the other unleashing a chain as did the one on the ground and quickly entangled Kakashi with it.
"What?!" He yelped as he tried to get free.
"Oh no!" Riku cried out as the events caught his and the others attention. They pulled and instantly Kakashi was torn to shreds to their horror.
"KAKASHI SENSEI!" Naruto hollered then felt them right behind him close enough and low enough that he could feel their breaths on the back of his neck as the hairs there stood up on end.
"You're next." One sneered Naruto watched in horror as the chain went flying towards him. It was then that Kiki and Riku sprung into action. First Riku threw a Shuriken pinning the chain to a tree. They looked at the two in surprise. Kiki then followed it up with a Kunai making it stuck.
"I can't get loose!" one of them grunted Riku landed as did Kiki who did hand signs having wooden beams shoot from the ground hitting the two in their stomachs they let out grunts of pain and they disconnected from their chains. And quickly bolted for a Target; One rushed at Naruto the other rushed towards Tazuna.
"Get behind me! Wood style Wood dome!" She shouted. The Dome was half formed. The Ninja with a clawed hand rushed forward hoping to get there before it closed Riku gasped and rushed around to the back where the dome was finishing; in order protect her from the attack. However before he could Kakashi appeared holding his arm out for the man to crash his throat into. He had already rescued Naruto and knocked out the other one.
"Hi." He said simply.
"Kakashi Sensei!" Kiki cheered as Riku sighed in relief.
"Wait wasn't he?" Naruto asked turning to the pile that had fallen before them. But found it all to be nothing but wood, "a Substitution Jutsu!"
"Naruto sorry I didn't help you right away. I just didn't think you'd freeze up like that." Kakashi replied as he dragged the two attacking Ninja closer to his Team Mates.
"Nice work Riku very smooth you too Kiki. You both were completely in Sync." Kakashi congratulated.
Tazuna sighed in relief he had been saved after all. Naruto however felt his heart sink and stared in awe and envy at his team mates. "I was so useless and those two were so cool! Like they had done this a thousand times, they also look so calm. Not a scratch on either of them! They had to save me! I've gotta catch up I've gotta!"
"Naruto you okay?" Riku asked.
"I think so." Naruto lamely replied standing up.
"He's not." Kakashi said still holding the two ninja. "Those Ninja had poison in their claws we have to take it out of you quickly Naruto."
"WAH?!" Naruto yelped panicked.
"How!?" Riku cried.
"We have to open the wound. It's in your blood Naruto so don't move around! That'll make it spread!" Kakashi warned. "By the way Mr. Tazuna." He said catching Tazuna off guard.
"Yeah?" He asked nervously.
"We need to talk." Kakashi said in a dark tone as he tied up the two Ninja that had attacked them earlier.
"Who are they?" Kiki asked.
"They're Chunin from the Hidden Mist Village. Their specialty is relentless attack. They'll keep fighting no matter what the sacrifice." Kakashi explained.
"How did you know of our Ambush?" One of them asked.
"A puddle? on a clear day when it hasn't rained in weeks?" Kakashi asked in a duh tone implying he had taken note of it.
"In that case why'd you leave the fighting to the Genin?" Tazuna asked.
"I could've taken them out quickly. But then I wouldn't have learnt anything." Kakashi replied. "I had to know who their target was." Kakashi said throwing a dark look at Tazuna. "And what they were after." The tone in his voice reminded the kids of the Jonin that had tested them the other day.
They all looked at him waiting an explanation. "And what are you getting at?" Tazuna spat.
"I wanted to know if they were attacking us Ninja attacking Ninja. Or if they were attacking you: the Master bridge builder." Kakashi replied simply. It hit Kiki instantly that after the chains had snapped one of them B-lined for Tazuna. "When you put in your request you asked for standard protection from Robbers or highway men. You didn't say there were Ninja looking for you coming after you. If we knew this it would be a B rank mission or higher our task was to get you to your destination and protect you while you finish your bridge. If we knew this we would've staffed differently and charged for the cost of a B Rank mission. And while I'm sure you have your reasons lying to us in unacceptable." He stated very firmly. "We are now beyond the scope of this mission."
"This is beyond our current training right now." Riku sighed. "Wait Naruto's wound we need to get it treated."
"Naruto's hand could be a problem I guess we'll have to go back to the village." Kakashi replied a little off handedly. Naruto growled he pulled out his Kunai and dug it deep into the poisoned hand blood spluttered out and onto the ground. Everyone stared in shock as he gritted his teeth and stood his ground.
"Why, Why am I so…ugggh"
"Naruto your hand!" Kiki cried out.
"I worked hard to get here! Training as much as I could anything to get stronger! I won't run away or have someone else rescue me! And I'll become the strongest Hokage! On this wound I make this pledge! Bridge builder I will finish this mission and protect you with this Kunai knife!" Naruto declared. He turned to the shocked Tazuna. "I'll be fine believe it!" For that moment Kiki and Riku stared in awe of him he had spirit and guts although Kakashi broke the silence.
"Naruto uhh that was really cool how you got the poison out and all but if you lose any more blood you're going to die." Kakashi said simply. There was silence and Naruto started shivering on the spot Kakashi slid closer eye smiling nervously. "Good idea to stop the bleeding now seriously."
"AAHHHHH! NONONONONO! I'm too young for it to all end, like this no, no, no, HEELLLLP!"
"Show me your hand." Kakashi sighed as Riku, Kiki and Tazuna watched.
"He makes me think of a crazier Sitka." Riku muttered as they watched the panicked Blonde.
Kakashi was now holding Naruto's hand and assessing the wound however he noticed an orange glow encompass the gash and was sowing it up quickly. "It's already healing could it be…"
"Ummm," Kakashi looked up to see Naruto shivering staring intently at him. "You've got a really intense look on your face am I okay?"
"Yeah you'll be fine." Kakashi replied wrapping it up in a bandage.

"You failed…YOU FAILED?!" shouted a voice in a large acorn shaped tree house that had many bridges attached to it in a deep forest; "What is this amateur hour!?" Snarled a normal pitched but cruel voice, "I paid big money for you I thought you were supposed to be hot shot assassins!" said the owner of the voice a short man with spiky brown hair and glasses and a very thin non-connecting mustache. He was talking to a large well-built man with a forehead protector white and brown camo arm covers and boots with blue ninja pants. He had belts over his chest to anchor his large sword which was more blade than anything else. It also had a hole in it and a semi-circle near the hilt. He had dark hair and cold eyes and his mouth was wrapped in war stripes.
In response he merely tightened his grip on the sword. "Stop your whining." He said effortlessly lifting the sword and pointing it at the man's throat his eyes widening underneath the dark lenses of his glasses. "This time I'll go by myself. And I'll be the last thing he ever sees."
"You…erherm, you sure about that? Apparently Tazuna has a high level Ninja guarding and since your first attempt failed they'll be expecting you back." The man replied nervously. "They'll be waiting watching it'll take someone with very advanced skills."
"Who do you think you're talking too?" The swordsmen asked with a gruff cold tone. "I am Zabuza Momochi The Demon of the Hidden Mist."

Now the group, were on a boat cloaked by thick fog nothing but the sound of water lapping up against the boat. Which while had a motor was being paddled they weren't taking any chances. Now that it had become clear that Ninja would be after Tazuna as well, they couldn't take any chances. Naruto sniffed the air a little.
Riku looked around seeing nothing but sea. "This fog is so think you can't see a thing. I wonder how he's able to find his way so well?" Kiki thought to herself looking at the boatman wearing green clothes and the same pointed hat as Tazuna.
"The Bridge isn't far now. Our destination is just ahead, The Land of Waves." The boatmen said to them. Eventually breaking through the fog was a large steel and concrete bridge. It had made its way pretty far but they could clearly see huge metal wires and support sticking out and construction vehicles on it.
Naruto beamed in awe. "Whoa it's huge!" he shouted.
"Quiet I told you no noise why do you think we're traveling like this?!" The boats man scolded. "Cutting off the Engine and rowing moving through the dense fog." He said as the boat moved past it. Naruto was quick to cover his mouth in apology Kiki and Riku looked at each other in slight shock. Kakashi however had something to say.
"Mr. Tazuna, before we reach the pier I want to ask you something. The men who are after you I need to know why. If you don't I'm afraid I'll have to end this mission when we drop you ashore." Kakashi threatened quietly.
Tazuna had his head hung slightly but he spoke. I have no choice but to tell you. No I want you to know the truth. Like you said this is beyond the scope of the original mission. The man after my life is a short man who castle long and deadly shadow." Tazuna began.
"A deadly shadow who is it?" Kakashi asked.
"You know him at least I'm sure you've heard of him; One of the wealthiest men in the world the shipping magnet Gato." Tazuna said.
"What of Gato Transport?" Kakashi asked. "He's a business man everyone knows him."
"He's a business Tycoon this is true. But right below the surface with the same ruthless methods he uses to take over the businesses and nations. He sells drugs and contraband using gangs in ninja. It was one year ago when Gato set sight our land. He used his vast wealth to take control of our ships and businesses. Anyone that stood in his way simply disappeared. In an island nation a man who controls the sea controls everything; Finance, Governments, our very lives but there's one thing he fears. The bridge when it's complete it will connect us to the main land and that will break his control. I am the bridge builder." Tazuna explained.
"So you're standing in his way." Kiki deduced.
"And those two we fought in the forest were working for Gato." Riku added as Naruto nodded slowly.
"That's right." Tazuna replied.
Naruto tilted his head slightly. "Okay but can you really build that big thing by yourself?" he asked in slight disbelief.
"It Ain't just me kid and that's Master Bridge builder to you." Tazuna stated curtly.
"Tazuna if you know how dangerous he was and that he would send ninja after you why did you hide this from us?" Kakashi asked.
"The Land of Waves is a poor and impoverished nation. Even our nobles have a little money the common people building this bridge they can't afford an A or B rank mission. If you end this mission, there will be no bridge; they'll assassinate me before I reach home." Tazuna said grimly. Team Seven stared at him a little conflicted. "But don't feel bad about that." Tazuna assured nonchalantly. "Of course my sweet little grandson will be upset he'll cry." Tazuna began in a high-pitched whiney voice. "Grandad, I want my Grandad! Oh and my daughter will condemn the Ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village and blame you for abandoning her father and living her life in sorrow. But you shouldn't worry about that it's not your fault." Tazuna assured.
Riku's eye twitched, "because that's not, guilt-tripping or black mail at all." he thought with an annoyed look on his face.
Kiki leaned in close to Riku and whispered. "He's really laying it thick isn't he?" she asked.
"Yeah," Riku replied in a whisper.
"Well I guess we have no choice but to keep guarding you." Kakashi said with a slight sweat-drop.
"Oh I'm very grateful." Tazuna said happily.
"Yeah, yeah," Naruto sighed, eyes closed.
"Well, we did ask for a real mission." Riku pointed out.
"Yeah but this isn't what I had in mind." Kiki admitted. Tazuna turned back to the camera and put up a Victory pose which Kiki saw and puffed a cheek in irritation at.
"We're approaching the shore." The Boatman said as they entered a tunnel and had circled around the bridge. "Tazuna we're very fortunate no one has noticed us."
"Nice work." Taunza thanked as they made it through. Soon a village floating on the water came into view. Most of the houses were on docks just above the water some of the Trees were high with their roots showing in the water. There were some hills where the land was and a few palm trees. The houses looked a bit old and shoddy though. They climbed out the boat and turned back to the boatman.
"This is as far as I go good luck."
"Yes thank you for taking such a risk." Tazuna said gratefully.
"Just be careful" He said turning on the motor and speeding off.
"Okay take me home and I mean get me there in one piece." Tazuna commanded.
"Right," Kakashi replied and sighed to himself looking exasperated, Kushina would not like this at all but that was the least of his worries. "The next Ninja they send won't be Chunin they'll be Jonin. Elite Ninja with deadly skills." He felt guilty putting the kids in danger.
Naruto was watching Riku and Kiki walk together and felt himself rubbed the wrong way. "I'll prove myself this time believe it!" He rushed ahead and began looking around for enemy ninja that might have been there. He suddenly heard a noise. "Over there!" he said throwing a Kunai into the bushes surprising everyone.
"What are you doing?!" Riku muttered in shock expecting something to come out. Tazuna started growling angrily.
"Heh, just a mouse," Naruto said smugly.
"Naruto those are Kunai knives they're dangerous don't throw them so recklessly." Kakashi said in a slight panic.
"AND STOP FREAKING ME OUT YOU SCRUFFY LITTLE DAWRF!" Tazuna shouted.
"All we're missing is the Neon sign." Riku sighed.
"Is someone hiding over there!?" Naruto asked looking around "No there? There? Maybe there…." He said as Kakashi turned to the left as Naruto threw a Kunai. "THERE!" he said throwing the second one.
"Naruto, for crying out loud, will you stop doing that already?!" Riku shouted whacking him. Naruto held his head in pain.
"But someone really is following us believe it!" Naruto argued.
"Oh my goodness, will you relax. You throwing kunai all over the place is just gonna attract attention even if someone is out here!" Kiki snapped.
"But-" Naruto half whimpered as Kakashi checked out where the second Kunai was thrown Kiki followed and gasped in horror. The Kunai was embedded in a tree right between the ears of a Rabbit who looked like his heart had only just started again after stopping from fright.
"Naruto you dolt, ya could have killed the poor thing!" Kiki shouted in concern for the creature picking up. Naruto cried out in horror.
"Ahhh I'm sorry little rabbit I'm sorry!" Naruto said waterfall tears falling down his face as he tried to hold it but Kiki wouldn't let him turning away angrily.
"Why does a Rabbit have a white coat all the way down here?" Riku asked.
"That's a Snow Rabbit and wild ones have a brown coat in the summer to better hide from predators. This one was raised indoors away from the light, for Substitution." Kakashi said darkly making Riku freeze in fear.
"Is someone already here?" He asked himself gulping as Zabuza watched from the tree.
"No wonder the Demon Brothers failed in their mission. It's the Copy Ninja from the Hidden Leaf Village Kakashi of the Sharingan." He thought to himself gripping his sword tighter. One leap and the sword flew and the ringing instantly hit Kakashi's ears.
"EVERYONE GET DOWN!" he shouted and everyone instantly did so as the sword flew right over their heads the rabbit escaping from Kiki as the sword flew into a tree.
"Holy! What the hell was that?!" Riku yelled voice cracking.
Kiki got up and turned and gasped with fear on her face. "Um, who is that?" she asked pointing to Zabuza on the tree.
"Zabuza Momochi, a Rogue Ninja from the Hidden Mist Village." He said noting the mark in his forehead protector marking out the symbol.
Naruto charged but Kakashi blocked him. "You're in the way. Stay back." Kakashi said simply.
"But why?" Naruto asked.
"He's not like those other Ninja he's in a whole other league." Kakashi warned. "If he's our opponent I'll need this." He said lifting up the side of his forehead protector covering his right eye. Revealing a bright red eye with three black Tomoe around the Pupil.
"Kakashi Of the Sharingan." Zabuza said simply as Riku stared in shock.
"Sharingan that's my clan's Kekkei Genkei it's not possible unless…." Riku thought to himself but Zabuza broke his train of thought.
"It's a shame but you'll have to hand over the old man." Zabuza said coldly looking at them with a cold glare as Kakashi glared back the two faced off the Sharingan glowing in the shadow of the leaves.
You know what I was thinking when Tazuna was playing those cards when I first watched this "FOUL FREAKING FOUL!" in Josh Scorcher's voice check him out on Youtube. Thanks to Freelancer for checking over the Chapter and helping me with a couple changes
