Chapter 6

The Duel on the Bridge.

After they ate the next day, Team Kakashi, Shadow, and Rouge. Minus one Naruto...Naruto was training after last night with Inari, to the point of near fatality. Someone dropped him off, and Kakashi thought it would be nice if they gave the blond a break. Shadow really didn't care, and went along with. Zabuza was schedualed to attack today, meaing Shadow would get his rematch.

It was quiet onboard the bridge, as a thick mist covered the bridge, a familar mist. Shadow noticed Zabuza's sword flying towards them, Shadow responded by kicking the back of the blade so it hit the ground. Shadow glared at Zabuza walking, with a rather feminine looking person. Zabuza glared at him "Rat..."

Shadow smirked and said ever so confidenly "Weakling." He then looked at the man in a white mask, "Whose your girlfriend?"

Zabuza growled and said "His name is Haku, Mister "Ultimate Life Form" I figured you should see the real deal of an ultiment weapon."

Shadow walked forward, when the boy was suddenly infront of him. "You already had your chance against Zabuza. I am your opponent."

Shadow just grumbled and was about to just knocked him out of the way, when to his shock Haku caught his hand. Shadow looked at him wide eyed, and then kicked himself off of the kid. Haku didn't move, as Shadow sped to him, and Haku kept blocking constantly, taking hits whenever the guard was dropped. When suddenly, a massive fire ball launched towards them. Shadow moved out of the way, Haku wasn't so turned to see Sasuke, and his eyes widened, as Sasuke has his hand around his mouth."What are you thinking?"

Sasuke stepped forward, and said "I'll never get stronger if I just sit on the sidelines." He stood next to Shadow "Like it or not, I'm helping you out."

Shadow just hmphed "No offence kid, but I already have a partner..."

Sasuke cut him off 'Thats my point, the girls and Kakashi can take on Zabuza alot faster, You and I can deal with this joker quicker."

In response to the aparrent team up, senounge(I know I must have misspelled that) hit both of their legs. Shadow hissed, and glared at him. He looked at Sasuke, and they both charged, Haku blocking Sasuke's kick, while Shadow kicked him in the back of the head. Rebounding, Haku looked at them both. He lifted on hand off and in the fastest hand signs Team Kakashi had ever seen, Rose several Mirrors made of Ice, they surrounded Sasuke and Shadow, as Haku fazed into it

Elsewhere, Kakashi was batteling Zabuza. He glared at him and said "Last time that little rat saved your neck. This time" He pointed his sword at Kakashi "You won't be so lucky"

Kakash reached for his headband, and lifted it up. "You talk to much."

He pulled out a kunai, and then he and Zabuza clashed the sword and kunia grinding against each other. Zabuza over powerd Kakashi, and swung down revealing Kakashi to be a clone. Zabuza turned around and sliced another and another, when Kakashi finally revealed himself underneath Zabuza who jumped out of the way.

Zabuza glared at him and said "That eye is getting very iritatting." Zabuza quickly moved his hands and suddenly the mist became incredibly thick.

Back at the Ice mirrors, Shadow went to rush them, and Sasuke went to the other side. Both getting covered in senpong for their trouble. Shadow looked at him, and held his emerald at his side and started to glow red "Sasuke...get down"

Sasuke did what he asked,and Shadow growled "Fine..we can't run...I'll destroy you." He closed his eyes, "Chaos...BLAST!"

He sent out the blast radious, and then his eyes widened in shock as every mirror was in looked at his emerald and prepared to warp outside to shatter them."Chaos..." Suddenly a Senpong pierced his hand and he dropped the emerald. Shadow went to grab it but Haku caught it, and tossed it out side.

Haku just looked at him "You are weak without that gem. I learned that from watching you battle Zabuza."

Shadow crossed his arms, and glared at him. "Its true with out the emerald, my powers are limited. However..." His hand glowed yellow "I can still do one thing really well"

Back with Kakashi, he was listening and trying to figure out where Zabuza would strike. HIs eyes widened as he figured it out, that it was Tanzuna! He moved as fast as he could

Rouge and Sakura were on both sides of the bridgebuilder, just incase. Rouge's ear twitched and she went for a kick when suddenly blood hit her looked up and said Kakashi, holding Zabuza's sword, which caused the other masked man to laugh. He said "You must know you are very weak, you and your team. The brats are trapped in within Haku's Ice Mirrors, You just made that hand usless, and the only two people to defend you are a bat, and a little girl"

Kakashi barked 'Thats enough...you of all people should know not to underestimate this team. Sakura may not look like it, but shes the smartest one on this team, Rouge there is pratcially ready to kick your head off, I seem to remember the so callled Rat kicking you around like crazy, Sasuke is the last of the Uchiha bloodline, and lastly there Naruto are numbe one hyperactive Ninja."

With out a word of warning a cloud of smoke appeared and from the smoke appearned Naruto. Naruto smiled "Naruto Uzimaki is here!"

The was a collective silence amongst all of the fighters. Sasuke and Shadow both thinking "Man what an idiot."

Sakura groaned in her head "Naruto...a ninja is supposed to be stealthy"

Kakashi just looked at Naruto "Naruto...go and get Sasuke and Shadow, they are trapped in some ice mirrors. I got this right here."

Naruto nodded, and went in.

Haku was looking behind him, when suddenly he turned to see Naruto sneaking in, and grabbing both Shadow and Sasuke's arms. Shadow looked at him wide eyed. "ARE YOU TITIANICALLY STUPID! He ment destroy the things on the outside!"

Naruto looked at him and shouted "I was told to get you two, okay! Let me jsut save you!"

Shadow groaned 'A little to late for that" Senpong hit Naruto's back and he turned around angry.

He said "I was talking pal" He put his fingers together and made several clones of himself, and they all attacked at once.

Shadow in the meanwhile, was reaching for his braelets, about to take them off...when suddenly Sasuke stopped him "Shadow wait...Don't do anything."

Several trys later, and Naruto is near uncouncious. Sasuke was looking at Haku, and bizzarely to him, he could see Haku's movements.

Rouge on the other hand saw Shadow's Emerald "Shadow...and he's without the chaos emerald." She walked to the Emerald and looked at Kakashi, who managed to free himself "I have to get this to him...I'll be back." She flew up in the sky, and waited for the right time to drill.

Sasuke now seeing Haku managed to grab his leg. Shadow steped infront of Haku as well, glaring at him. Haku managed to step away, not with out impaling Shadows leg with the senpoung. Shadow fell down in pain. Haku looked at Sasuke, and was stunned to see that Sasuke had red eyes just like Kakashi's.

Haku looked at Naruto and Shadow and prepared to strike them instead. Rouge saw what he was planning and soared down imidiatly dive boming, both Sasuke and her getting hit hard. Shadow looked up stunned to see Rouge holding his emerald coverd int Senpounge, and looking like it hit her collapsed and Shadow held her

Naruto, saw Sasuke standing over him and caught him as he fell. Naruto looked at him and asked "Why?"

Shadow asking the same question, and Rouge jsut smiled and said "Well, you are my best friend, and I thought you might need this." She pulled out the chaos emerald and put it in her hand. "Shadow, do me a favor...mind Omega for me...tell him...I saved your neck."

Shadow was shaking her "Don't do this to me, Rouge. I just started to accept you and Omega as my friends...please don't..."

Naruto just started to berate Sasuke and said 'I didn't ask for this...I didn't ask for you to save me."

Sasuke just said "My body just moved idiot...you know..." He coughed blood on Naruto's shirt. "He's still out there...my brother..."

Rouge feel limp in Shadow's hand, and the ultimate life form put her down, a single tear in his eye. "I will find him Rouge...I promise."

Naruto just looked at Sasuke for a while...it getting quiet in the Ice Mirrors.

Haku saying "Is this the first time you two have seen death in battle. This is what it means to be a ninja."

Naruto and Shadow both said "Shut up." Naruto emitating Red Chakra, and Shadow braclets falling off, and his skin glowing a slight tint of gold.

Shadow spoke first "This isnt' a first time I saw a friend of mine die...hell...both of them died protecting me." He clencheds his fist "and yet..."

Naruto looked at Sasuke "I always hated you too Sasuke, and yet..."

They both growled to them selves 'You'll pay for this."

Naruto looked up with red fox like puplils, his whiskers extended, and his teeth razor sharp. Shadow looked up as well, his skin fashing between black and gold. Both of them said at the same time "I'm gonna kill you"

Finally a tower of Red Chakra rose revealing a fox like face, and Naruto turned with an evil glare. Shadow's skin finally turned gold and he started to float off the both turned to Haku, and glared at the mask ninja.

Author's Note:

1. Yes that ws my original plan because the Kyuubi is my favorite Naruto Chareter, but I wanted Shadow v Haku. So I just combined the two together

2. Regarding Shadow going Super...I kinda figured that would be deserved because Shadow just saw his one of his only two friends he's had in over 50 years, get killed...saving him just like his other friend. This will be a plot point..and not something I did because it sounded cool.

3. Forgot this on the opening I do not own any charterts from Sonic and Naruto, this is what I do for fun.
