Chapter 6: Youthful Training
Team 7 were in a boat in the fog being rowed… all three Genins, Jonin and Eevee stared at the man they were hired to protect…
"So why did you not tell us about the real situation?" asked Kakashi.
"Because this entire country is poor." said Tazuna, "You've heard of Gato, right?"
"He owns a shipping congealment. What about him?" asked Kakashi.
"Well you see that merely a cover, he's really runs a drug cartel and has other dirty dealings." explained Tazuna, "He currently owns all of the shipping in the Land of Waves and is holding it hostage. He knows if I build this bridge then he will no longer have control over this island."
That's horrible." said Hinata with Eevee nodding in agreement.
"You have to help me… after all if you don't, my grandson will cry "Where's my grandpa! I miss my grandpa!" and my daughter will forever blame the Leaf Village for what happened." explained Tazuna.
"Oh great… guilt…" thought Sasuke.
"He sure is layering it on…" thought Naruto.
"Oh…" thought Hinata.
"Oh great… I know it's a ploy… but I feel really bad." thought Kakashi.
"Okay we'll do it." said Naruto.
Tazuna smirked "Thank you…" he said.
Back in the Village Ranko and Ryoga were walking along…
"Really there's a guy who's equally perverted as Happosai… you're kidding right?" asked Ryoga.
"While he doesn't grope and steal underwear he does however write porn…" said Ranko.
"Really… and he taught your dad…" said Ryoga.
"I know… creepy isn't it…" said Ranko.
"Very…" said Ranko who froze.
"What is…" said Ryoga.
"The Spandex Duo…" whimpered Ranma with a fear in her voice.
"What?" asked Ryoga confused.
They turned see there was someone wearing green spandex, orange leg warmers, with a bowl cut, giant eyebrows… and what looked to be a "Mini-me"
"If we do not do 1,000 laps around the Village then it will be 2,000 pushups!" yelled the "Mini-Me".
"Good idea Lee!" said the older one of the two.
Ryoga stared at the site, but fortunately Ranko began to drag him away.
"They're really, really crazy, it's best to avoid them at all costs." said Ranko.
"Uh-huh…" said Ryoga, "So Kuno crazy or something else."
"Something else…. And they're okay when compared to Kuno." said Ranko with a sigh.
Back in the Land of Waves, the young ninja parted ways with the boat rower.
"You know what would have been great." said Naruto, "If he sang."
"Okay…" said Sasuke staring at Naruto.
"Let's go, it's going to be a long walk to my house." said Tazuna.
Back at the Village, Ryoga and Ranko were separately doing their exercises. Ryoga didn't want to spar with Ranko, he didn't want to fight a five year old girl (although Ranko did gave him a hard punch in the gut for that one). Ryoga had just performed a Bakusai Tenketsu when they heard gasps.
Both of them turned around… the weirdo and his mini-me.
"Hello Guy, hi Lee!" said Ranko somewhat nervously
"Did you see that Guy-Sensei! That was amazing!" yelled Lee (AKA the Mini-Me).
"I can tell… that wasn't a Ninjutsu." said Guy (the weirdo).
"Uh… yeah… it's Taijutsu." said Ryoga unsure what to say.
"That was amazing!" yelled Lee who was still being hyperactive.
"Calm down Lee!" shouted guy punching Lee.
"I'm sorry Guy-Sensei!" said Lee.
That's when the creepy sun set appeared!
"Lee!" cried Guy.
"Guy-Sensei!" cried Lee.
"Lee!" cried Guy.
"Guy-Sensei!" cried Lee.
"Lee!" cried Guy.
"Guy-Sensei!" cried Lee.
"Lee!" cried Guy.
"Guy-Sensei!" cried Lee.
Ryoga stared at the sight, "I thought you said they weren't crazy." he muttered,.
"I meant they were easier to deal with Kuno…" muttered Ranko.
Back in the Land of Waves. The team were walking to their destination when Eevee began to growl at a bush.
"Hinata." said Kakashi.
"Right! Byakugan!" said Hinata using said Bloodline Limit.
"What's going on?" asked Naruto.
"We're being watched." said Hinata.
"Stick together." said Kakashi.
"Right!" said the team.
That's when there was a loud noise, a sword had embedded itself into a tree… a man wearing a mask and what looked like parachute pants stood on the sword.
"Who is that?" asked Naruto.
"He's our enemy." said Sasuke.
"I know that! I meant who is he?" asked Naruto.
"Zabuza Momochi…" said Kakashi, "The Demon of the mist."
"So… you've heard of me." said Zabuza.
"Yes I have." said Kakashi, "Protect the Bridge Builder!"
"Right!" said the three Genin going into a formation around Tazuna.
"Oh man…" said Naruto.
"What?" asked Sasuke.
"It's going to be awesome fight between two Jonin…" said Naruto, "I wish I could have brought some popcorn with me."
Hinata giggled while Tazuna muttered "That's not a valid concern."
"Oh come on… it's not like the fight will end with Kakashi in I don't know… some sort of water globe and we have to fight Zabuza." said Naruto.
Back in the Leaf Village, Ryoga and Ranko stood in front of Guy's team which consisted of Lee, a girl with dark brown hair wearing a pink Chinese shirt and green pants named Tenten and Neji, Hinata's cousin. Guy was introducing them to Ryoga.
"This is Ryoga Hibiki a person Ash met during his short Pokemon Journey and is staying with the Ketchum-Kazama Family." explained Guy.
That was indeed the lie that they were feeding everyone about Ryoga, after all the truth was too unbelievable…
"I'm a Taijutsu expert." said Ryoga blushing.
"He's babysitting me" said Ranko.
Once again, truth was stranger than fiction.
"So would you teach my students the technique you used." said Guy.
"Um, I don't know it's a little harsh." said Ryoga.
"Define harsh." sighed Tenten.
Ryoga began to explain the way to train the Bakusai Tenketsu or Breaking Point and explained how it worked… need less to say Tenten and Neji wanted no part in the training… but Lee on the other hand.
"Yosh! I will learn the technique! If I don't then I will do…" said Lee, however with the exception of Guy every one else rifted off.
"I told you they were crazy." said Ranko.
"But at least they're harmless…" said Ryoga.
"I wouldn't say harmless… but they aren't crazy in a bad." said Ranko.
Ryoga nodded…
Back in the Land of Waves… remember water Naruto said about the end result of the fight… well now Kakashi was trapped within a ball of water called the Water Prison Jutsu. And Zabuza had a water clone blocking the way.
"What are we going to do?" asked Hinata.
"Hinata. Do you think you can protect Tazuna by yourself?" asked Naruto.
"Do you have a plan." said Sasuke.
"Yeah… I do… and I hope it will work." said Naruto.
"Okay…" said Sasuke with a nod.
Kakashi watched from the water ball.
"I really hope they can pull this off." thought Kakashi.
And so Naruto and Sasuke would have one of their first serious fights… and little did they know was they were being watched… but was it by friend or foe… only time will tell with that one…
Next Time: Naruto and Sasuke face off against Zabuza. Will they be able to pull it off? Meanwhile Ranko, Neji and Tenten watch Lee's training and somehow their not surprised that he would agree to repeatedly slam himself against a giant boulder... really... it's not...
