You can look up that they call it "Flying Raijin Jutsu" on the tv series as well as the video game "Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 3". Also I've decided, not to make this a harem fic. Just strictly Naru/Hina. Thank you, and please enjoy. :)
I do not own Naruto in anyway shape or form.
Chapter 6: Journey to The Land of Waves
It has been about 2 weeks since the "Bell Test", and Naruto was getting frustrated. Frustrated enough to go back to the 4th Hokage's house, and get the scroll he returned after discovering that Hinata found out. Still not noticing the letter in the hidding place. Not only because he hadn't been going on any exciting missions, but because Kakashi wasn't teaching them anything but teamwork exercises. And whats worse is that Sasuke and Sakura, mostly Sakura on Sasuke's behalf, was bugging him about how he had gotten hold of the bell. Naruto ofcourse wasn't showing it, but he was getting annoyed. He didn't trust them enough to tell anyone else with the knowledge of his jutsu.
At the moment, Naruto and the rest of Squad 7, were on another irritating mission. The mission, capture the Feudal Lord's Wife's cat, Tora. "Can you see the target?" Asked Kakashi, over the headset.
"Yea, I'm about 5 meters away. Just give me the signal." Responded Naruto.
"Alright, Go!" Kakashi ordered.
Once the order was given all three jumped in to corner the cat, and it was Naruto's job to capture once the cat was cornered. Naruto was glad that the cat was caught, but no so much when the cat decided to treat him like a scratching post. "Got...ugh...him...ouch!" Naruto reported.
"Good, can you confirm the red ribbon on the right ear?" Kakashi asked.
"Yea, target confirmed." Sasuke confirmed.
"Very well, good job team. "Mission:Capture Lost Pet" is a success." Kakashi said. And with that they returned to the Mission Hall, to report in on their mission. As well as to pick up another "D" rank mission.
"Hmm, lets see. We have a fence that needs painting, weeds to be picked, a child to be babysa..." The 3rd was saying, before he was interrupted.
"No way! I want a real mission, not anymore of these chores." Said Naruto, irritated that they'd be getting another "chore" as he called it.
"Listen Naruto, everyday we recieve missions. From babysitting to assasination. These missions are then taken and then ranked based on difficulty. Genin, such as yourself, go on "D" or low "C" ranked missions. But since you are fresh out of the academy, "D" ranked is your only option." The old Hokage, explained.
"Oh c'mon old man, I'm not the same little kid that used to play pranks anymore. I want a "real" mission." Naruto responded, crossing his arms.
"Naruto, you can't just call the Lord Hokage "old man"! Its disrespectful. Besides, Lord Hokage is right. You're fresh out of the academy, you need more experience before you can take on a "C" ranked mission." Scolded Iruka, who was sitting next to the 3rd Hokage.
"Its alright Iruka. Naruto wants to prove that he is no longer a brat, but a former brat." Said Hiruzen, to Iruka.
*Sigh* "I'm gonna be hearing about this later. Its a shame, but a "C" ranked mission would be a good chance to see how Naruto got the bell." Kakashi thought.
"So be it." Relented the 3rd Hokage.
"Hn?" Responded Squad 7.
"Please send in the client that Squad 7 will be protecting." Ordered the 3rd.
In walked an old man of about 59. Wearing glasses, a dark grey v-neck shirt, and khaki colored pants, a towel around his neck, and a pointed hat. He came in slouched against the door frame with a bottle of alcohol. "What, are these the idiots that are supossed to protect me? They don't look like much. Especially the short one with the funny face." Commented the man.
"Hmmm!" Growled Naruto, knowing that the man was talking about him. But did nothing in retaliation.
"Tazuna, I assure you that they are more than capable of protecting you from any bandits." Said the 3rd Hokage.
"Also, I'm a Jounin. You'll be perfectly safe with us." Said Kakashi, adding in his 2 cents.
"Alright then, I plan on leaving soon. And I expect you to protect me, even if it costs you your lives." Replied Tazuna.
"Very well, Team we'll meet in 2 hours at the front gate of the village." Said Kakashi, leaving via shunshin.
Squad 7 has left the gate about 3 hours ago. Tired of the silence Sakura decided to find out more about their client. "So Tazuna, where are you from and what do you do exactly?"
"I'm from the Land of Waves, and am a master bridge builder." Tzuna answered.
"Kakashi sensei, there are ninja in the land of waves aren't there?" Sakura asked, wondering why their village was being hired.
Kakashi looked up from reading his book. Atleast they thought he was reading, instead he was trying to figure out how Naruto got the bell. It was driving him crazy! "No. The Land of Waves has natural protection from the sea, so they don't really see a need for a military." Kakashi went on to explain about the 5 Great Nations, their villages and their Kages.
A few minutes passed by, and Kakashi noticed a puddle on the ground. Once they passed, 2 figured came from the puddle and attacked. One jumped and wrapped the chain, connecting the 2, around Kakashi. "1 down." Said the ninja, with 2 horns on his headband.
The chain then tightened, everyone froze at what was happening. The chain then ripped through Kakashi, leaving him in pieces. The 2 ninja then raced toward Naruto, in an attempt to do the same. "2 down" Said the same ninja.
Sasuke jumped in the air and threw a shuriken at the chain, before it could be wrapped around Naruto. The force of the thrown shuriken embedded into the tree with the chain. Sasuke then threw a kunai at the middle of the shuriken, in order to keep the 2 ninja from using the chain any further as a weapon.
"Uh, I can't get loose." Said the ninja, with 1 horn on his headband.
Sasuke landed on their restrained arms, placing a hand on either he kicked both ninja in the face. Using this opportunity, they broke off their connection with the chain. Once loose, the 2 horned ninja resumed his attack on Naruto. While the other went after Tazuna.
As the ninja closed in on Tazuna, Sakura put herself in the way. "Stay back!" Sakura said, pulling out a kunai for defence. Sasuke then moved in front of Sakura, not believing that she could handle the incoming ninja. *gasp* "Sasuke?!" Asked Sakura, suprised to see him appear before her.
Just then Kakashi appeared, suddenly having both ninja unconsious in his arms. "Show off!" Thought Sasuke.
"Huh, Kakashi sensei?" Thought Naruto and Sakura. Looking over to where they saw Kakashi "killed", was a pile of a shredded log. "He used a "Substitution Jutsu!" They thought.
*sigh* "We're saved." Thought Tazuna.
"Good job Sasuke, you too Sakura. Sorry I didn't show up earlier Naruto, I didn't think you'd freeze up like that." Kakashi said, as he began tying the 2 ninja to a tree. "But atleast you didn't get hurt by the looks of it."
"Ugh! Why?! Sasuke didn't even flinch, like he's done this 1000 times. Even Sakura wasn't scared. Why was I the only one that froze?!" Thought Naruto, frustrated that he froze in his first real fight.
"Hey. Your not hurt are you, scardy cat?" Taunted Sasuke.
*Gggrrrrrr* "You'll eat those words Sasuke, believe it!" Countered Naruto, wanting to fight Sasuke now. But he knew the mission took priority right now.
*Sigh* "These 2 are known as the "Demon Brothers". They are rogue Chunnin of the Mist Village. They continue fighting for as long as they're able, which makes them... somewhat formidable." Kakashi informed, silently impressed that Naruto didn't try attacking Sasuke for that taunt.
"Why did you let the Genin handle them then, if you were still alive?" Asked Tazuna.
"I had to find out who their target was. If it was a grudge between villages, or if they were hired to take out our client?" Kakashi replied.
"How did you know we were going to attack?" Asked the ninja, with 1 horn.
"A puddle on a sunny day, when it hasn't rained in weeks. Sounds pretty conspicuous, don't you think?" Explained Kakashi. "Anyway Tazuna, we need to talk."
Tazuna *gulp*ed. "H..how come?" He asked.
"You didn't say that there would be ninja after you. The mission was simply to protect you from bandits. This has now become at least a "B" rank, which would be out of bounds for this team. I'm sure you have your reasons for lying to us, but there isn't much we can do." Kakashi explained.
"This mission is too much for simple Genin like us. I mean, Naruto can't handle it. He froze on his first serious mission. We should go back." Said Sakura, scared of running into more ninja.
Kakashi looks at Naruto. Knowing that Sakura was right, but wanting a chance to find out Naruto's secret, decided to make it seem as if he was agreeing with Sakura. "Hmm, Sakura does have a point. I guess we'll have to go back to the village." Kakashi said.
*Gggrrr* "So what! I messed up, it doesn't mean I'll do it again! I'll protect that old bridge builder with my life, I swear it!" Stated Naruto, wanting to continue with the mission.
"Alright, we'll take Tazuna to the border. We'll get on the boat provided for us to enter the Land of Waves, then he will give us his explaination for his deciet, before I make the final decision when we hit land. Lets go." Ordered Kakashi.
Once at the border, they met with a friend of Tazuna's. They were almost to the bridge when, "So Tazuna, care to explain?" Asked Kakashi.
"Yea, your right first of all. This mission is out fo bounds, for those Genin anyway. About a year ago, a very wealthy man came and took over all our shipping businesses. You've at least heard of him, his name is Gatou." Tazuna said, beginning his explaination.
"You mean Gatou, the shipping magnate?!" Kakashi asked. He is one of the wealthiest men in the world."
"Yes, thats him. On the surface he is a successful business man, but beneath all that, he sell drugs and controband. He is like a plague to our country, he won't stop until we're dead. The only hope we have is to build this bridge, that connects us to the main land." Tazuna confirmed.
"But that doesn't explain why you lied." Kakashi stated.
"Because of Gatou, everyone is poor. Even the Feudal Lord doesn't have any money. If this bridge is completed, then life will return to this land." Tazuna finished.
"So thats why Gatou hired ninja to kill you. You're in his way." Stated Sakura.
"If you end this mission now, I'll surely die. But don't worry, my 10 year old grandson will just cry his eyes out. And my daughter will hate and blame the Leaf Village for my death." Tazuna said, with a smile in an attempt to make them pity him.
"Well, I guess we have to continue the mission then." Said Kakashi.
"I win." Thought Tazuna.
Onve they reached land, they said "thank you" to Tazuna's friend and left for Tazuna's house.
"This time they won't send Chunnin, it'll be a Jounin. And what the hell is Naruto's secret?! How the hell did he get that bell?!" Kakashi thought.
Naruto, anxious to prove himself, started looking for any sign of ninja. Even if there weren't any. "There!" Naruto thought, as he threw a kunai into the bushes. Causing Tazuna and Sakura to panic. "Just a mouse or something." Stated Naruto, trying to act cool.
"There was nothing there and you know it, you idiot!" Yelled Sakura.
"Hey kid, are you trying to kill me by causing me to have a heart attack?!" Yelled Tazuna.
*Rustle...Rustle* Naruto heard a rustle in a different set of bushes and threw another kunai.
"Naruto, will you knock it off already?!" Yelled Sakura, as she hit him over the head.
"But Sakura, there was something there this time. I mean it." Explained Naruto, as he went over to the bushes to prove it. What he saw, was a white rabbit. Naruto quickly picked it up to appoligize to it. (As if it would understand him)
"Hmm, thats a snow rabbit. But its spring, it should have brown fur. Which means, it was raised in captivity for the purpose of a "Substitution Jutsu"." Kakashi thought. He heard something coming their way. "GET DOWN!" Kakashi ordered, as a giant sword came spinning out of the trees.
Everyone jump to the ground, to avoid the sword. Sasuke brought down Tazuna with him, so he wouldn't be killed. The sword then embedded itself into a tree nearby, with a manstanding on it. Everyone stood up, and looked at the man. He had black hair, brown eyes. He wore typical Mist Village stripped pants mimetic wrist-warmers extended to the elbows, and matchin leg-warmers. His headband's insignia was on the left sid of his head.
"Well if it isn't Zabuza Momochi, rogue ninja and former member of the "7 Swordmen of the Mist"." Kakashi said, realizing who it was.
Naruto was about to charge in when Kakashi held his hand in front, stopping him.
"Everyone, stay back. He is not someone you can take on. It'll be tough for me, unless I use this..." Kakashi stated, getting ready to lift his headband from his left eye.
"So, Kakashi the "Copy Ninja". The man said to have copied over 1000 Jutsu, the one to have obtained the Sharingan." Zabuza stated.
"Sharingan? Whats that?" Thought Naruto and Sakura.
"Sharingan?!" Sasuke thought, wondering what Zabuza was saying.
"Surround and protect Tazuna, Manji Formation. You'll have to fight me first Zabuza."
"Ah, so I already get to see the Sharingan so soon. Heh, I'm honored." Said Zabuza. "Well then, lets begin shall we?" Zabuza then grabbed his blade and removed it. He then landed on the water nearby. "Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Jutsu!"
A dense fog started to move in, the Genin from Squad 7 surrounded Tazuna. Zabuza had moved from his spot on the water.
"He'll come after me first. He was a member of the Mist's ANBU Black Ops, masters of the "Silent Killing Technique". Basically, you won't ever know that he was there." Kakashi said.
"Eight points. Liver, lungs, spine, clavical vein, jugular, brain, kidneys, and the heart. Where should I strike first?" Zabuza said, scaring the Genin. "Heh heh, seems as though one of them is trembling." Zabuza finnished, refering to Sasuke.
Kakashi flared his chakra in response, resulting in some of the fog dispersing. Feeling the killing intent in the area, from 2 Jounin, Sasuke felt overwelmed.
"Ugh... so these are Jounin. Such killing intent, its unbearable! I...I'd rather take my..." Sasuke thought, slowly bringing his kunai up, before Kakashi interrupted.
"Sasuke, calm down! I will protect you with my life." Said Kakashi, turning around with an eye smile and not wanting his student to do something stupid.
"Heh heh, You know you can't keep that promise Kakashi." Said Zabuza, his voice coming from all angles. Suddenly Zabuza appeared, between the Genin and Tazuna. "Now, the old man is mine!" Proclaimed Zabuza.
Before Zabuza could seimg his blade, he was stopped by Kakashi stabbing him with his kunai. But instead of dropping dead, Zabuza turned into a puddle of water. "Nice try, Kakashi." Said Zabuza, he swung his blade through Kakashi. This resulted in the same as with Zabuza. "What?!"
"Nice try, Zabuza." Said Kakashi, mocking Zabuza.
"I see, you already copied my "Water-Clone Jutsu" and hid yourself in the trees waiting for me to strike. Impressive." Zabuza said.
"Its over, Zabuza." Kakashi proclaimed.
"Oh, on the contrary Kakashi." Said Zabuza, this time from behind Kakashi.
The water clone dispersed, as Zabuza swung his blade toward Kakashi. Kakashi responded by ducking under the swung blade. Zabuza then brought the sword toward the ground, and switched from his right hand to his left hand. Giving him the opportunity to kick Kakashi. Unable to dodge Kakashi took the kick, hoping to be able to escape into the water.
Zabuza gave chase, but skidded to a halt as there were Mitsubishi Spikes blocking his path. "Mitsubishi Spikes? You'll have to do better than that, Kakashi." Zabuza claimed as he shunshined away.
"Ugh...somethings not right. this water is too heavy." Said Kakashi, as he surfaced.
"Too late!" Said Zabuza, as he appeared behind Kakashi forming handsigns.
"Oh no!" Said Kakashi, realizing he was in trouble.
"Water Style: Water Prison Jutsu!" Zabuza used, capturing Kakashi. "Now, time for the brats. "Water-Clone Jutsu!" A water clone rose from the water and headed for the Genin. "Heh, wearing those headbands pretending to be ninja. None of you know what it means to be a ninja, by the time I was your age my hands were already stained in blood."
"What do you mean?" Asked Naruto.
"He is talking about the reason why he became known, as the Demon of the Mist." Kakashi said.
"Ah, so you've heard about our "Graduation Exam" eh?"
"What exam?" Asked Naruto. It was Kakashi who answered.
"About 10 years ago a child, who wasn't even a ninja, killed over 100 other students. Because of that the exams had to be changed."
"Yes. Imagine pitted against your best friend, who shared your dreams, had lunch and spent so much time with. Only to end thier life, to become a ninja. Hahahahaha."
Naruto *cough*ed as he was suddenly kicked by Zabuza's water-clone. Naruto skidded to a stop, and noticed that his headband was missing.
"Huh, you don't deserve to be called ninja if you've never even brushed with death. You good for nothing "wet behind the ears" Genin! I'll never consider you ninja, unless you make it into MY Bingo Book."
Naruto, not being one to take insults lying down, stood up. "Shadow-Clone Jutsu!" Naruto shouted, creating 25 clones.
"Shadow clones eh? And quite a few of them too." Zabuza said. "Kid is better than I expected, thats supposed to be a forbidden "A" ranked jutsu of their village, yet this brat makes it look easy. Oh well, its still not enough to beat me." Zabuza thought.
Naruto and his clones charged in, and dogpiled on top of Zabuza. Zabuza, however overpowered Naruto and his clones. Causing all the clone to disperse.
"Naruto, what were you doing?! You're no match for a Jounin like that!" Yelled Sakura. Sakura then noticed that Naruto had his headband back. "Your headband?" "Thats what he was after?"
"What are you doing?! This battle was lost, the moment I got caught! You have to take Tazuna and run!" Kakashi yelled.
"Hey, the ugly freak with no eyebrows!" Naruto taunted. "Put this in your Bingo Book. "The one who never gives up, who will one day become Hokage. His name is Naruto Uzumaki." Sasuke, I have a plan."
"Hn, lets hear it." Replied Sasuke.
"Ugh, this can't end well. They refuse to listen to me."
"Not happening, you brats." Zabuza said, as he took down Sasuke.
"Sasuke!" Sakura yelled, in concern for her crush.
"Shadow-Clone Jutsu!" Naruto yelled. The clones then charged forward, like before, this time in order to save Sasuke.
The result was the same as last time, exept for the fact that Naruto was digging for something in his bag. Finding what he was looking for, Naruto tossed both items toward Sasuke, who was freed. Sasuke caught the folded object. "So thats it, nice going Naruto." Sasuke thought, while spinning a complete 360 degrees. Unfolding the weapon, Sasuke held it in front of him. "Demon Wind Shuriken, Windmill of Shadows." With that said, Sasuke jumped in to the air throwing the Demon Wind shuriken. Instead of being aimed at the water clone, the shuriken went streight to the original Zabuza.
"Aiming for the real me eh, not bad. But not good enough!" Said Zabuza, catching the shuriken. Zabuza then noticed the 2nd shuriken, that he didn't see thrown. "A 2nd shuriken in the shadow of the 1st? This is the "Shadow-Shuriken Jutsu!" But, still not good enough!" Zabuza said, jumping over the 2nd shuriken.
*Poof* "Take this!" Yelled Naruto, as he released the "Transformation Jutsu". Naruto then through a kunai at Zabuza. Unable to do anything but dodge and release the jutsu holding Kakashi, Zabuza moved to his left. But not before getting cut by the kunai, thrown by Naruto. Zabuza and Kakashi noticed the smoke bomb tied to the kunai thrown by Naruto. *poof* *poof* The smoke bomb tied to the kunai went off, at the same time a smoke bomb went off by Naruto, just before he hit the water. Naruto used the smoke as a cover, in order to use the "Flying Raijin Jutsu!" Resulting in Naruto giving Zabuza a kick in the side of the head.
"Ugh!" Grunted Zabuza, as he skidded back on top of the water.
Naruto *splash*ed into the water, since he couldn't stand on it. "Haha! Gotcha, you eyebrowless freak! Hahahaha!" Naruto laughed, resurfacing from the water.
"You litTLE BASTARD!" Zabuza yelled, enraged the he was hit by a mere Genin. Zabuza attempted to throw the captured shuriken at Naruto, *clang* only to be blocked by Kakashi's fist. The metal plate providing protection to his hand.
"Good job, Naruto and Sasuke." Kakashi said, glad to be free from the "Water Prison Jutsu!" "Now Zabuza, lets finish this. But I warn you, I won't fall for the same trick twice." Kakashi claimed. Naruto had, by this time, returned to his teammates' side.
Zabuza and Kakashi pushed back away from eachother, and began a long series of hand signs. "Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!" Shouted both of them. The 2 water dragons rose from the water and clashed, resulting them to cancel eachother out.
"So many hand signs, and so fast. Did he really copy them all?" Thought Sasuke.
Zabuza and Kakashi then began to run in circles, keeping the other in sight. Zabuza stopped, as did Kakashi, and started on a new series of hand signs. "My moves. He is..." Zabuza thought, before they were interrputed.
"...Reading them." Kakashi said, finishing Zabuza's thought.
"Did he read my mind? He is..."
"...Really pissing me off with that damn eye of his." Kakashi finished, for Zabuza. Continuing to copy Zabuza's hand signs.
Continuing with his hand sign, with Kakashi copying Zabuza yelled... "All you're doing is copying my, "you can't beat me with those cheap circus tricks!"" Kakashi yelling the same thing, continued to copy hand signs.
Zabuza came to a slight stop, seeing an image of himself behind Kakashi. "What is this, a Genjutsu?" Zabuza thought.
"Water Style: Giant Vortex Jutsu!" Kakashi said.
"What?! Impossible, I was about to use the same jutsu! Why can't I keep up?!" Zabuza thought, while being hit by the jutsu.
The jutsu slammed Zabuza against a tree. Looking up to the branch Kakashi landed on, Zabuza asked. "How, can you see the future?"
"Yes, and I see your death. Its over." Kakashi replied, pulling out a kunai. Before Kakashi could act, 2 senbon pierced Zabuza's neck. Zabuza, as a result, hit the ground with a *thud*.
"I thank you for your help." Said a young man, in a seperate tree. The young man had long black hair, a slender frame. His shinobi outfit consisted of the standard Kirigakure pinstriped outfit which stopped at his knees. Over this he wore a green haori with white trimmings, and around his waist a brown sash with a fringed trail wrapped around his waist twice, and a mask with red markings..
Kakashi jumped down from the tree, in order to see if Zabuza was dead. "He is dead." Thought Kakashi, after not feeling a pulse.
"I must thank you, I've been waiting for an opportunity to take out Zabuza for a while now." Said the boy, with a bow.
"Hmm, that mask means that you're a Tracker-Ninja of the Hidden Mist." Kakashi stated."Hmm, given his height and the sound of his voice. I'd say he isn't much older than Naruto. And he is already a tracker?" Thought Kakashi.
"Yes, you are correct." Replied the boy.
"Uh, whats a tracker?" Naruto asked.
"Maybe if you'd listen, instead of sleeping, during a lecture you'd know. A tracker is someone who finds and kills ninja who've betraid their village." Sakura answered.
"Yes, that is my job. I must be going now. Again, I thank you for your assistance. Good bye." Said the boy, as he grabbed Zabuza's body and shunshined away.
"Well, looks like the worst is past us now." Kakashi said, pulling his headband back over his eye.
"Yea, thank you for protecting me. You all can stay at my place until the mission is over, its the least I can do." Said Tazuna.
"Naruto, just how di..." Kakashi began, as he collapsed unconcious.
"Kakashi sensei!" the 3 yelled.
"Whats wrong with sensei?" Asked Naruto.
Sakura went over to check. Not seeing anything wrong, she concluded only 1 thing. "He's fine. Probably just used up too much chakra." Said Sakura.
"Well, lets get your sensei over to my place so he can get some proper rest." Said Tazuna. With that, Naruto and Sasuke picked up Kakashi and headed for Tazuna's house.
Kakashi woke up, and realized that he was probably in Tazuna's house. "Look guys, sensei just woke up." Said Naruto, informing the others.
"How are you feeling sensei?" Asked Sakura.
"I've felt better, I'm not quite used to wielding the Sharingan like that for long periods of time like that." Kakashi replied.
"Well maybe next time you'll take it easy then." Said a young woman, who just walked in. She had long, dark blue, hair. She wore a pink shirt and a blue skirt, that reached her calves. "I'm Tsunami, your client's daughter."
"Nice to meet you, and thank you for letting us stay her efor the duration of the mission." Kakashi said. Tsunami responded with a curt nod, and left to make dinner.
"Ah, you're up I see." Said Tazuna, walking in as Tsunami left.
"First I'll remove the bandages and drain some of the blood." Stated the Tracker ninja. As the tracker went to remove the bandages, he stopped as the "corpse" suddenly grabbed his arm.
"Thats enough! I'll do it my self." Said Zabuza, removing the bandages. "Ugh! You're so brutal Haku, you didn't have to go for the neck."
"Thats true, but the neck has the easiest access. There's no muscle, that could deture the senbon." The tracker now known as Haku replied.
"How long are you goin to wear that stupid mask?" Zabuza asked.
"I like this mask, and it was very useful to fool those ninja." Haku answered, while taking of the mask. Haku had a very feminine look about his his, despite being a boy. "Are you going to be alright next time you face them?" Haku asked.
"Next time I'll beat the Sharingan, but its that boy I'm more worried about. I've never seen a boy capable of being so fast." Zabuza replied.
"Wasn't it just a "Shunshin Jutsu"?" Haku asked.
"No, it was something else. Something I've never encountered before." Zabuza answered.
Kakashi shot straight up, just now realizing something.
"Whats wrong sensei?" Asked Sakura.
"That young tracker. Do you remember what weapon he used?" Kakashi asked, knowing the answer.
"Senbon." Sasuke answered.
"Thats right. Senbon aren't really deadly, unless you hit a major blood vessels." Said Kakashi.
"But, what does it matter?" Asked Sakura.
"Trackers are supposed to destroy a body on sight, and if they need proof then just the head would be enough. Trackers are also tought everything about the human body, and how it works. Its possible the this tracker is a fake. Meaning that Zabuza is still alive." Kakashi explained.
I know it took a while. Sorry. Well I hope you like the few twists I put in there. Please review.
