A/N: Remember to R&R. In case you didn't know, I don't own Naruto. WARNING: spoilers ahead. I rated it M for chapters like this, I don't know if it's okay in T, but just to be safe.

…..chapter 7
Okay, after a boat ride, in which everyone, but me, is impressed with the wave bridge, team seven and Tazuna finally reach the mark. All of a sudden, Sensei yells out, "Get down!" As he pushes Tazuna to the side.
Everyone ducks, just as several ninja tools fly over our heads. Tazuna screams, and then we hear him. " well, well, well, what do we have here? Kakashi of the Sharingan, what a pleasant surprise, I don't suppose you'd be willing to part ways with the bridge builder, hmm? We don't need to fight, I'm just here for him."
Kakashi startles, then speaks, clearly and with no emotion. "Zabuza Momochi, demon of the mist. Sorry, but we are going to have to fight."
"Ha, ha. So be it Kakashi." Zabuza pulls his sword from the tree is was imbedded into, and charges, Kakashi draws a Kunai, and does the same, all the while warning us to stay back. Yea, so, while we watch Kakashi get his ass kicked, I close my eyes.
Focusing on everything and nothing, I start pulling in nature energy, and placing it in seals, separate from my body. Mist fills the air as the fight continues, and I can feel it all, I start making seals, in my minds eye.
Just as Kakashi and Zabuza are finishing off, their two water dragons are slamming into each other, I finish with my seals. Nodding to Sasuke and Sakura to stay back, I step forward. As their two jutsu cancel each other out, but as the water in still raining down, I open my eyes, there slited with bars through each pupal, but still blue. Marking my use of my enhanced seances, and a massive boost to my sensory ability.
"Uzumaki secret technique: assimilation maelstrom." Every drop of water in the air, and half the water in the lake, turns to ice. My Uzumaki denser chakra overriding the chakra powering the other jutsu. Add that to the nature energy I'm using, and it's all magnified.
Focusing some chakra into the air next to Sasuke, I preform a long range Kawarimi, switching it with Kakashi, before the water prison freezes over completely. With the maelstrom keeping him out, there's nothing he can do but watch.
Also, Haku can't get in, can't sent a senbon in through the maelstrom, and can't risk nocking Zabuza out for the jutsu to kill him. So she's stuck to, and I can feel her freaking out. Yea, ice is overpowered.
Zabuza's frantically trying to escape, to shelter himself, to do something other then die. Just as it looks hopeless, I slow down. Running low on sage art, I could get Kurama to help, but I don't want to interrupt the show for him.
I pull back, and just as it starts to clear, I dump every last drop of nature energy into the jutsu again. This time on the hidden mist jutsu. Every microscopic spec of water, in all the mist, on all the lake, freezes. Billions upon billions of microscopic ice crystals, all razor sharp, shred Zabuza.
Nearly rip him limb from limb, but I stop the jutsu.
As the mist clears, everything becomes visible again. Zabuza is barely above water, using his sword to keep from drowning, residual chakra, and all that. Bloody and broken and barely alive, he manages a smile. He says, in a strained and painful voice, "what the hell are you, kid?"
Knowing he'll recognize the name, I tell the truth. Well, close enough. "Im Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze." And I watch what's left of Zabuza bleach. He laughs.
"Ha ha, hahaha. Namikaze, I don't even care. You're an Uzumaki, an Uzumaki with ice release, and sage art, don't think I didn't see." He coughs up blood, a lot of blood. "Mist was part of the army that killed them all, a thousand Uzumaki against a hundred thousand of us, and it took us two years to win, if you can even say we won. We didn't kill you all, we learnt, with the red death."
He sinks deeper into the water. Chakra from the blade running out. He drinks in water and coughs up more blood. But the smile doesn't leave his face. "I was in that war, I've lived through Kushina, it's only fitting I die to you." He's dying, these are his last words. "Take Haku, I know you can feel her, you Uzumaki and your seniors…" Blood, more blood. "Take Haku back to the leaf, protect her, she has ice." He's extremely strained now. It's the end. "T-take, take Haku, let h-her l-live."
He closes his eyes, and with a smile on his face, Zabuza Momochi dies…
…..
A/N: Sorry about that, I couldn't think of another way to do that.
