I Don't Own Naruto
"Kakashi and his team were sent out on a mission this morning a simple C-rank escort mission but I have just received word that they have encountered a pair of C-rank missing Nin and apparently they were following an A-ranked nin so Kakashi sent a letter requesting backup and specifically you two and don't worry about your team Kurenai-san Neko can fill in for you until you get back" said Hiruzen looking over his desk at Kurenai and Anko who were both looking worried.
"Here is a copy of the mission scroll you leave as soon as you are able" said Hiruzen handing the scroll to Kurenai who took it and then both women bolted out of the Hokage's office and ran home to get what they needed.
#With Team 7#
It had been a while since Kakashi had sent the message requesting the backup. The group had decided to move from where they fought so they were continuing their journey to the wave. They walked at Tazuna's pace along the road. The group had experienced no problems since they encountered the daemon brothers, Naruto was so board he had disintegrated his petal Nodachi and was making random things out of the petals, Gaia was much the same with her sand and Sayuri, well if she had something she could make random shapes out of she would be doing it.
"Look dog" said Naruto holding his hands out with what looked very much like a dog made of rose petals.
"Eagle?" questioned Gaia holding her hands apart to make roughly a bird shape.
"Close enough" muttered Naruto.
"Would you two stop that?" half asked, half growled Sayuri.
"Sorry Yuri-chan" muttered Naruto reforming his Nodachi and sheathing it.
"Spoil sport" muttered Gaia as her sand receded into her gourd.
The group walked for another hour before anything else actually happened. At the hour mark they came to a river where a man with a boat was waiting for them the group got onto the boat and floated across the river into the fog beyond.
"That's a big bridge" whispered Naruto as the bridge became visible through the fog.
"It's huge" whispered Gaia in wonder.
"Yeah and it's the only hope of my country" muttered Tazuna. The three genin just looked on in awe of the huge structure. The boat sailed close and closer to the other side of the large river and the ninja prepared to disembark.
The boat floated up to the bank and the group of five disembarked and thanked the rower before they continued their trek through the mist. Sayuri reached for her kuani, Gaia let the cork from her gourd disintegrate into sand and the handle of Naruto's Nodachi began to peel off and fall away. Kakashi had to admit despite having taught them little so far he was proud of his genin.
The four ninja and one civilian walked through the forest until in the blink of an eye Naruto pulled out a kunai and threw it into a bush. Everyone turned to the bush as he walked over to it and parted it to reveal…
"A bunny? Don't scare me like that kid" said Tazuna however he was ignored.
"It's white in the middle of spring that mean's it's been kept indoors most likely for… Kawarimi (Substitution) … Fuck" thought Naruto
"DOWN" screamed Naruto tackling the two closest people to the ground which just happened to be Sayuri and Gaia, luckily Kakashi managed to pull Tazuna to the ground as he went down. A giant cleaver like sword flew over their heads just at the height of where their necks previously were. The blond genin looked down to the two girls who were under him.
"You two ok?" asked Naruto looking at both girls who despite their best efforts had a slight dusting of pink on their cheeks. Gaia snapped out of it first.
"Yeah we're fine thanks to you" said Gaia, Naruto nodded and got off them and offered each a hand to get up. Naruto pulled both girls up simultaneously, and then turned as a voice behind them spoke.
"Ah Kakashi of the Sharingan no wonder the Daemon Brother's failed" muttered the voice. The voice belonged to a man who was standing on the hilt of the sword that just flew over their heads, the man wore baggy blue pants with a camo pastern on them, he wore bandages around the lower half of his face covering his mouth, he wore a crossed mist headband slanted on his head.
"Zabuza Momochi Daemon of the Bloody Mist" muttered Kakashi reaching for his headband
"You three Delta formation, stay back I'll handle him" said Kakashi. The three genin moved in front of Tazuna in a protective triangle as Kakashi lifted his headband revealing his fabled Sharingan eye the eye that he had used to copy over 1000 jutsu.
"The Sharingan so soon I'm honored" said Zabuza grabbing the hilt of his sword and jumping onto a nearby lake.
"Kirigakure no Jutsu (Hidden Mist Jutsu)" called Zabuza as the entire area was encased in a thick mist.
"Now which one of the many kill points to use?" mused the disembodied voice of Zabuza as he flooded the area in KI, Kakashi let his own KI be added to the mix.
"This is what a battle between Jonin is like? It's unbearable I feel like I'm choking" thought Sayuri to herself raising one of her ready kunai to her throat.
"Sayuri don't worry I won't let my team die trust me" said Kakashi turning back to his team giving them an eye smile.
"Don't make promises you can't keep" said Zabuza as he appeared behind the group of genin in front of Tazuna. At that moment a sand tendril, a black bladed Nodachi and a pair of kunai were driven into Zabuza who burst into a puddle of water.
"And you don't make threats you can't keep" said Naruto letting his Nodachi peel away again.
Zabuza raised a non-existent eyebrow at Naruto's sword but ignored it in favor of planning his next attack.
Kakashi kept his senses pealed for the next attack from the mist daemon, hoping not to get caught off guard a second time.
Zabuza once again appeared from out of the blue this time behind Kakashi and before the cyclopean jonin could blink he was sliced in two. However to Zabuza's shock the two bisected Kakashi bits exploded into water and he felt cold steel at his neck.
"It's over" said Kakashi coldly. Zabuza however started snickering that quickly evolved to the point of full blown hysterical laughter.
"You seriously think you can beat me with those Monkey-See-Monkey-Do tactics?" questioned the psychotic swordsman as he dissolved into water.
"Mizu Bunshin (Water clone)" said Kakashi shocked looking around for the real Zabuza.
It was only Kakashi's instincts that saved him from being sliced in two as Zabuza's sword came down on his previous position however Kakashi didn't expect Zabuza to use the momentum to kick him back fifty metres and into the lake behind him.
Once Kakashi reached the surface of said lake he noticed something.
"This water it's denser than normal … fuck" muttered Kakashi as he scrambled to get out of the dense water, but it was too late as Zabuza appeared behind the silver haired Jonin completing a hand sign sequence.
"Suirō no Jutsu (Water Prison Jutsu)" called Zabuza, and with that an orb of water appeared around Kakashi with Zabuza holding one hand in the orb. Zabuza then created a one handed hand sign and a second Zabuza formed out of water in front of the first.
"You three run Mizu Bunshins can't get too far from their creators, run away get to the backup sent from Konoha forget about me" yelled Kakashi.
"He's right kiddies you might have a chance if you run" said Zabuza smirking.
"Don't under estimate us Zabuza we may be kids but we're still ninja" said Naruto stepping forwards.
"Ha don't make me laugh, when you've hovered between life and death so many times that it doesn't faze you, you may be called a ninja. When you've become so deadly that your profile has been entered into my bingo book, then you may have earned the title ninja" said Zabuza
"Fine I guess we'll have to show you" muttered Naruto, before looking back to his two teammates.
"You two protect the old man" said Naruto.
"What are you saying Naruto you can't take on a jonin by yourself we can hel-" said Sayuri only to be interrupted.
"Gaia can protect the old man the best and you're not used to his level of KI leave it to me" said Naruto turning around to face Zabuza's clone who was cracking his neck.
"Besides I don't need to beat him just hold him off" muttered Naruto as the rose petals in the area floated together to from his Nodachi.
Naruto charged at Zabuza's water clone hoping to catch it off guard with his speed. Naruto brought his Nodachi down on the clone's head only for the clone of Zabuza to stop it with his massive cleaver.
"Really that's all you got?" questioned the clone. Naruto jumped back but before he could do anything the Zabuza clone had once again closed the distance between the two and was slashing at Naruto with a surprising amount of speed. Naruto tried to block the first strike from the left only to be flung into a tree, Naruto twisted midair to use the tree as a spring board and launch himself back at Zabuza, the blond flew towards the mist jonin's clone that had its cleaver leaning on its shoulder. What occurred next shocked Zabuza, Naruto's Nodachi disintegrated into rose black and red petals that flew faster than the blond at the shocked clone that was to slow to defend itself from the speedy projectiles. The first petal brushed past the Mizu Bunshin and the clone was engulfed in sparks that quickly destroyed the clone.
"Hmm that kid could be interesting" muttered Zabuza who once again created another Mizu Bunshin but this time instead of having the clone do the fighting he substituted with it leaving the clone holding Kakashi in his watery prison.
"Let's see what you're really made of boy, that clone was at only one tenth my full power let's see how you handle the real deal" said Zabuza with a cruel smirk as he brought his huge blade down on the blond redhead who lay on the ground. Naruto managed to roll out of the way just in time, Zabuza's blade impacted the ground where Naruto just was. Unfortunately Naruto didn't have time to reform his blade as Zabuza swung his blade at the boy who could only push off the ground with his hands and back flip to land on his feet.
"I'll admit the kid's agile" thought Zabuza bringing his blade down for another slash attempting to slice Naruto down his middle however this time the rose petals of Naruto's Nodachi flew above his head and blocked Zabuza's swing. Naruto took the opportunity to reform his Nodachi as he jumped back form Zabuza. Naruto's Nodachi reformed in the blond's hands as he swung at the ex-kiri nin who used his giant blade as a shield to block the incoming blow, however as the two blades connected Naruto's started to hum with chakra and the pitch black Nodachi started to cut into the mist swordsman's blade. Seeing this Zabuza pushed Naruto back before slashing at Naruto's legs making the blond jump, while in midair Zabuza threw a punch Naruto sending him back towards his team.
Gaia's sand formed a large hand to catch the blond and put him on the ground.
"That was a waste I thought he might provide some entertainment" muttered Zabuza looking at the downed blond redhead. Naruto pushed himself to his knees.
"This isn't working he's too fast and too strong I'm going to have to use that" thought Naruto to himself as he pushed himself to his feet.
"Gaia I need blood. Can I?" asked Naruto looking over at his red headed fiancé. Gaia looked at Naruto worriedly but nodded leaning her head to the side and moving any hair away from her neck.
"Sorry Gaia-chan" muttered Naruto as he sunk his long incisors into Gaia's neck drawing blood.
