A/N This is amazing, another chapter so soon, well expect more. I'm using this story for a school project. I'm trying to reach 20K words to please my teachers. Oh and someone asked why I made Kurenai an Icha Icha fan when I said she didn't like perverts…I didn't say she wasn't one herself.

Chapter 6 – Arrival in Wave

One look into the house of Tazuna the bridge builder would show three young genin and a small white dog collapsed all over the house.

Kiba was on the ground, his nin-dog Akamaru curled into a ball inside his jacket. Sakura was on a couch fast asleep, and finally Sasuke was leaning against a wall, keeping watch but his eyes betrayed how tired he really was.

They had only just survived the fight against Zabuza. Kakashi would have been down here as well but he was upstairs unconscious in the only spare bed in the house.

This was the scene that Team 8 found upon arriving. Naruto would have laughed at them if it weren't for the fact that had his team been in the same situation as theirs, they would probably look the same. When they had arrived Sasuke had launched a kunai. Luckily Sasuke had a really bad aim whilst tired and Team 8 could dodge high speed projectiles as well, thanks to a little help from their senseis friend Anko.

The kunai was lodged in the doorframe before Sasuke realized who it was; a look of relief crossed his face before he promptly fell unconscious. Kurenai surveyed the room before looking to her team.

"Naruto I want some clones surrounding the building, Shino send some bugs out to search the surrounding area, Hinata check over the members of team 7 and flare your Byakugan every few minutes in case any enemies get past the Narutos and Shino's bugs." She was met with a chorus of "Hai sensei" from her genin.

As each genin went about their tasks Kurenai went to check on Kakashi. Upon arriving in the room he was in she found him completely out cold. From what she could tell he wouldn't be up for a while.

Team 8 watched over team 7 and the house that night, they introduced themselves to Tazuna and his daughter Tsunami when they got the chance. Kiba was the first to wake up; when he saw team 8 he was at first shocked but then glad. If Gato had any more shinobi working for him they wouldn't survive. Sasuke woke up next acting like he wasn't asleep in the first place.

Naruto smirked under his hood, knowing that no one could see it. The look on Sasuke's face had been hilarious; like he was trying to make sure he wasn't caught sleeping when he had been clearly knocked out.

The two teams minus Sakura had eaten dinner together with Tazuna and Tsunami. Half way through the meal a small boy came in, grabbing a plate of rice before walking up stairs.

"That's my son Inari, he doesn't talk to many people" explained Tsunami seeing the confused expressions worn by the genin. After the meal Sasuke and Kiba carried Sakura up to the spare room before they settled down there for the night.

Kurenai looked to her team who had each set up a sleeping bag in a position which gave them a clear line of sight to an entrance. She set herself up on a couch facing the door before signalling to each member of her team when they would be keeping watch.

-Next Morning-

Naruto had been up last keeping watch so he woke his teammates up at the crack of dawn before looking to the staircase to see Kakashi stumbling down.

"Kurenai what are you doing here?" questioned Kakashi. In response Kurenai just handed over the scroll from the Hokage. Kakashi had a quick look over it before handing it back to Kurenai.

"Kakashi can you tell me what happened to your team?" questioned Kurenai.

"On our way here we encountered two chunin level missing-nin from Kiri known as the demon brothers. They weren't a problem, but shortly after arriving on the shore here we were attacked by the infamous demon of the mist, Zabuza Momochi."

Flashback

As team 7 started walking up the shore a thick mist rolled in. Kiba suddenly sniffed before throwing a kunai towards a bush. A small rabbit came flying out, terrified from the sharp blade almost killing it. Sakura proceeded to hit Kiba over the head.

'Wait that rabbit is white, it shouldn't still have its winter coat unless it was raised indoors….shit.' thought Kakashi, "Down Now!"

Sasuke grabbed Sakura while Kakashi grabbed Tazuna; Kiba was already down from Sakura's almost manly strength. As soon as they got below waist height a large cleaver shot past where they had been standing. When the sword collided with a tree a man appeared standing on it. He was wearing camo pants and dark blue ninja sandals. He had no shirt on and bandages wrapped all around his mouth, his slashed Kiri hitai-ate worn on the side of his head.

"Zabuza Momochi, demon of the mist." Stated Kakashi.

"The great Sharingan Kakashi knows my name, I'm touched." Said the large man, "Hand over the bridge builder and this won't get messy."

"I'm afraid I can't do that Zabuza." Replied Kakashi as he lifted his headband revealing his fully matured Sharingan, Zabuza just shrugged in response.

'Sharingan, could he be of the Uchiha clan' thought Sasuke.

"More fun for me." Zabuza said with finality before forming a hand seal.

"Ninpou:Hidden Mist Jutsu" he whispered, his voice still carrying throughout the clearing.

"There are 8 points on the human body that kill instantly: larynx, spine, lungs, liver, jugular, subclavian artery, kidneys and the heart. Which one should I attack first?" Zabuza flooded the air with his killing intent. It was so great that Sasuke raised a kunai, ready to plunge it into his own heart.

"Sasuke I'll protect you." Kakashi said using a bit of chakra in his voice to clear the K.I. from the air around the genin.

Kakashi prepared to be attacked before realizing that Zabuza would aim for Tazuna to avoid a prolonged fight.

Zabuza tried to slash Tazuna but was stopped by a kunai to the stomach courtesy of Kakashi. Kakashi looked shocked as water came from the wound instead of blood.

"Water clone" stated Kakashi before he was bisected by Zabuza's blade, but instead of a corpse there was only water. Kakashi appeared behind Zabuza and kicked him out onto the water.

"Hmm so the Sharingan can copy my jutsu even through this mist. Its power is truly formidable." As Zabuza finished saying this Kakashi shot onto the water and fought him, kunai to cleaver.

The fight was going well for Kakashi until he dropped under the water to avoid a slash. It wasn't until he was under the water that he realized the water was too thick. But by that time he was trapped.

"Suiton: Water prison jutsu, success" Kakashi looked around to see that he was trapped, he could use a burst of raiton chakra to escape but there was a chance that he would fry himself in the process. He watched as Zabuza made more water clones to attack his team, he weighed up the options before yelling to his team,

"Run, you guys have no hope of beating Zabuza." He had hoped the genin would listen but when dealing with Sasuke and Kiba there was no such thing as running away.

"Sensei you told us that those who break the rules are trash but those who abandon their teammates are worse than trash. We won't let some two bit trash like this stop us." Yelled out the ever brash Kiba.

Kiba looked to Sasuke before both boys nod to each other. Sasuke shot forward and attacked the clones, taking them out but once they were gone Zabuza made more. The new clones knocked Sasuke and Kiba to the ground.

Suddenly Kiba erupted into smoke revealing Akamaru. While the clones were confused Sasuke took them out.

Out on the water Zabuza heard a cry of "Tsuuga" as a tornado of claws and fangs shot toward him, forcing him to jump away from the water prison releasing Kakashi.

Kiba was left floating in the water watching the fight between the two jonin.

Zabuza and Kakashi were now standing opposite each other, staring each other down. Zabuza started to do hand seals with Kakashi copying them. They finished the jutsu at the same time both calling out,

"Suiton: Water Dragon Jutsu!" The two dragons coiled around each other fighting for dominance before both dragons collided and collapsed. Zabuza started to sweat a bit before he started another series of hand seals, Kakashi started copying them.

"You're just a copying monkey." Laughed Zabuza before he saw an image of himself behind Kakashi, seeing this caused him to pause for a second, that second was all Kakashi needed to finish the jutsu.

"Suiton: Great Waterfall Jutsu" Kakashi yelled as an orb of water rose up on front of him, it started to swirl before launching toward Zabuza knocking him back into a tree. Kakashi walked forward ready to finish the job.

Flashback end

"When I went to finish him he asked if I could see the future, I said yes and your future is death. Before I could kill him a group of senbon pierced his throat. I checked for a pulse and found none. A hunter nin dropped down and thanked me before taking Zabuza's body….." Kakashi trailed off.

"Shit, he's still alive." Kakashi cursed.

Kakashi and Kurenai then went to another room to talk strategy and schedules for the week over some coffee.

-With Team 8-

Each member of team 8 watched their sensei walk off talking to Kakashi. They shrugged before pulling out a few small items. No point wasting good training time.

Shino had a scroll on Taijutsu styles open in front of him. Hinata was reading a scroll on basic first aid and finally Naruto was balancing a kunai on the tip of his finger using his chakra.

"Hey what do you think team 7 have learnt since the famous copy nin Kakashi started teaching them." Questioned Naruto, Shino just shrugged.

"Ano, I don't kn-know Naruto-kun, but they must have learnt several new jutsu." Said Hinata.

"Oh well, do you think Kurenai-sensei will teach us anything new?" questioned Naruto, this time he got two shrugs in response. He shrugged as well before adding a kunai to another finger while waiting for Kurenai to return to tell them what they were going to do.

A/N and that's a chapter. I hope all you fans are happy I wrote this so quickly, I think it may be my record for the quickest upload on the same story. Hopefully I'll be able to write another chapter this week, I am really getting back into this story.

Thanks Trigger2332 out!
