Chapter 3

Time Skip: A week later

"Un." I mumbled shifting under the covers in my futon at Tazuna's. We were assigned the C-Rank mission a day ago and now we were in Nami no Kuni or Land of Waves. I got up and walked to Kakashi-sensei's room where he was still passed out from overexerting his Sharingan against Zabuza Momochi, the Demon of the Hidden Mist.

"Ayumi-chan you're awake. How is your chest feeling?" I turned to see Sakura and Sasuke-nii-san. I gently rubbed my chest where Zabuza had tried to run me through with the Kubikiribocho, the Executioner's Blade. I had retaliated a little late with using a kunai to block it, causing only the tip on the blade to puncture my chest just above the heart. I had passed out due to the blood loss and exerting to much chakra to heal the wound.

"I'm fine but it's very sore. Were you two or Nar-dobe injured at all. Considering I passed out right as Naruto was using a dozen Shadow Clones to fight that one Water Clone." I asked in concern. They didn't look injured but you can never be to certain.

"No we're not hurt. However, Naruto-dobe I'm not too sure. He took a pretty bad beating to the head by that Water Clone." Sasuke answered causing me to sigh in relief. If my twin or best friend had been hurt I would personally hunt down Zabuza and his little sidekick who was hiding in the trees, just waiting for his moment to come and collect his Master.

"Kakashi-sensei however was severely injured…No! Kakashi-sensei you can't get up yet you need to rest." Sakura yelled running to try and push Kakashi-sensei to a laying position again.

"Zabuza he's still alive." Kakashi-sensei panted out. This shocked everyone in the room but me.

"No duh sensei I could have told you that myself. Did no one else sense the boy in the trees waiting to collect his Master? Haku masks as a Hunter-nin when Zabuza is given a mission." I explained as I kneeled next to Kakashi-sensei. He sighed with a sideways glare at me.

"I guessed as much when he didn't start working on Zabuza's body right there." Kakashi-sensei said.

"Zabuza Momochi it seems you are weak." Gato said as he walked forward out of a crowd of bandits.
"If anyone is weak it's you Gato. You need a bunch of weak body guards to protect and do your dirty work for you. You're just a filthy coward." I yelled as I started doing handsigns: snake, rat, dragon, monkey, tiger, and dog. "Hyoton: Soryu Bofusetsu." Two dragons made of ice appeared and attacked Gato and his bandits, freezing and breaking them. Gato and twenty others were left.

"You…you…monster! What the hell are you?" Gato stumbled backwards as I activated my Mangekyo Sharingan. I started forming the handsigns: tiger, boar, and dog.

"Hyoton: Haryu Moko." A dragon and tiger made of ice ran forward and attacked Gato tearing his neck open allowing blood to erupt over the bridge. I turned to an injured Haku and Zabuza and smiled. "You are now free. Go and live your lives to the fullest."

"But-"Zabuza hesitated.

"I believe Ayumi is trying to say we are now allies. And important people to her considering she pulled out some major jutsus there. For a Genin that's hard but as an Uchiha it's expected. Well kids let's get you four home." Kakashi-sensei said. His eye crinkled in the corner showing that he was smiling.

"Ayumi wait. I know what I'm naming the bride now, Yujo no Hashi, the Bridge of Friendship." Tazuna said to me, causing me to smile brightly before limping to Sasuke-nii-san.

"Sasuke carry me home please. I'm very tired." Sasuke smiled slightly to me before helping me on his back.
