-1CAGED DEMON
Author's Notes: to holydemon90, yes it is another Zabuza fight but no Haku. I know that it is redundant but I couldn't think of anyone else as my first real fight as this fight will be far different. (you will have to keep on reading to find out how different as the fight will be in the next chapter.) I am still trying to work out the kinks on the different perspectives as I haven't written in this style before but, I am trying to watch my wording and everything. Also to rats ass, if you don't like it then don't read it. So far everyone else seems to like the idea and the story so far so I am not stopping just because you don't like it. Sorry readers but one bad review isn't going to stop me as I plan to finish this story to the best of my abilities. As always please leave your comments and reviews at the end. Thanks!

Our small 4 man squad lead by Kakashi Hatake traveled to the land of waves with the client Tazuna. I took point because Tazuna smelled of alcohol. The smell of booze interfered with my advance sense of smell. Sakura, Sasuke, and Sai stood close to Tazuna as Kakashi traveled behind me. A mission like guarding an official like Tazuna isn't something that you'd give to inexperienced ninja like us. Even if you had a demon like me on the team but Sasuke and Sai didn't know that I was a demon. I had jut met the two as I wasn't sure if I could trust them just yet with my secret. As we walked I had noticed a small puddle on the ground. I knew that it hadn't rained for several days as I could smell half demonic blood coming from the puddle. I knew that Kakashi had seen the puddle as I could sense his body tense up.
3RD PERSON'S P.O.V.
As the group passed the puddle, two beings began to shift out of the liquid. The two half demons attacked swiftly. They first attacked Kakashi as it appeared that he was killed but he knew that they were coming as he used a substitution to escape from harm. Then the two half demons turned to attack the official Tazuna. Both Sasuke and Naruto moved to intercept the demons as both Sai and Sakura defended Tazuna. All 4 teens had taken out their kunai knives ready for battle. Sasuke had taken out a shuriken throwing it to get the chains that hung from their clawed weapon hands. Naruto could smell the poison coming from the weapons as the shuriken pinned the chains into a nearby tree.
"Careful Sasuke, their weapons are coated with poison." stated Naruto. Sasuke looked at Naruto in shock.
'How could he know that?' Sasuke thought to himself. Naruto moved quickly with two kunai knives in hand as he avoided the weapons cutting them off of the demons. When the demons were free of the weapons, they moved to attack again only to be stopped by Kakashi as he attacked them from behind using one of his attack.
"CHIDORI!" snapped Kakashi as the attack hit the two demons sending almost a thousand volts of electricity through their bodies. The attack rendered them both unconscious. Kakashi then proceeded to tie up the demons using the same paper seals that he had used on Naruto to keep them from using their demonic powers.
"Good work team, you all handled yourselves pretty well. It seems that our client Tazuna-san has some explaining to do." stated Kakashi.
"What do you mean?" asked Tazuna.
"Those are half demon assassins. This team is only beginning ninjas as they are no match for skilled assassins. Our job is mostly to protect you from thugs, robbers, and other attacking ninjas. This mission is far beyond the skill level of my team. Why did you hire an inexperienced team in the first place if you are being hunted down?" asked Kakashi. Tazuna let out a long sigh as it seemed that the older man had caught on since the beginning of the mission that something was wrong.
"My village in the land of waves is very poor as we don't have a lot of money. The reason why I came to the leaf village is to set up trades between the other villages." Kakashi scratched his head looking at his team.
"What do you think guys. Should we head back or continue on with this mission. It's your call." stated Kakashi. The 4 teens huddled together to discuss their plan.
"I don't think we should hold it against Tazuna-san if his village couldn't hire more skilled ninja. I say we continue on." stated Sakura.
"I have to agree with Sakura-chan. Besides the only way to gain experience is to do missions." stated Sai.
"I think that there is more here. It seems like he isn't telling us everything. I mean why is demons attacking him?" asked Sasuke. Naruto had to agree with Sasuke. Demons don't attack for no reason. He should know seeing how he was a demon. Besides that Kyuubi could hear the man's heart beat flutter when he told them his reason. Naruto turned to Tazuna first as he had to put his suspicions to the test.
"Your clearly not telling us everything Tazuna. What's the real reason to why you hired us? Besides for the reason that you had just given us." growled Naruto. Sweat gathered on Tazuna's forehead as it seemed that Naruto was the most dangerous out of all of the group. Something within Tazuna said not to test Naruto's patience.
"All right, I will tell you. We have been running into troubles with a business tycoon whom has been killing officials like me to prevent trades with other nations. He wants our village for his own greedy profits." stated Tazuna.
-Now we are getting to the truth.- stated Kyuubi.
"Whom is this business tycoon?" asked Kakashi.
"His name is Gato of the Gato Corporation. He will stop at nothing to get what he wants." replied Tazuna. The 4 teens came to agreement to continue on with the mission to help Tazuna get back to the land of waves.
NARUTO'S P.O.V.
As we continued along our way, Sasuke asked me how did I know that the weapons those demons were wearing were coated with poison.
"I could smell it." I replied without thinking twice about my answer.
"You could smell it?" asked Sai.
"Naruto comes from a long line of trackers as their sense of smell is a lot stronger than a normal persons." Kakashi stated quickly lying to the two. As I could hear Kyuubi laughing in the back of my mind.
-Nice cover Kakashi. That sounds almost believable. Just watch it Naruto. Remember those two have no clue what we truly are.- stated Kyuubi.
*Sorry I just forgot. But I am a bit surprised how those two reacted when those demons attacked, especially Sasuke.* I told the fox mentally.
-I agree. Those two definitely have talent.- stated Kyuubi.
+Border to the land of waves+
A strange mist began to form as something didn't feel right. My body tensed up as I could tell that this mist wasn't natural. I could smell demon blood in the mist as I held two kunai knives in my hands. I wasn't the only one as everyone in my group had a knife in hand. Suddenly a dark chilling voice erupted from the mist.
-I spy four children and two adults. I pray that one of you can offer me up a good fight.- stated the voice. I could feel a chill deep down to my bones. If it wasn't for Kyuubi, I would be panicking right now.
"Naruto protect Tazuna with the others." stated Kakashi as he moved his head plate off of his right eye. I did as he asked as both Sakura and I have seen him use this technique once before. Kakashi was using his demon's eye. Kyuubi had asked him once how he had gotten the demon's eye because not many humans can survive having a demon's eye transplanted into them. From what Kyuubi had told me often demon body parts and organs still maintain a good portion of the demons original power. Often when a human is transplanted with one of the demons organs, if it is done right then it gives the human incredible powers. But if not…..well lets just say that the results aren't pretty. Kakashi told us that he was given the demon's eye by a demon in thanks for helping their tribe. The original owner of the eye had died in battle. Kakashi doesn't use the demon eye all the time do to the fact that it wears him out. I stayed back keeping my senses on alert as I didn't like this feeling that I was sensing. Whomever was out in the mist was out for blood.
