A/N: S'up? *Dodges a tomato* Ok I'm sorry it took so long for me to update but the same thing happened to me SEVEN TIMES! The chapter just kept disappearing but it finally stopped, therefore I can update! (^-^)

Chapter 7: Trip to Wave Part 2

Naruto's P.O.V

'Well shit, I'm screwed.'

"Yeah, you are. Big time."

'Thanks for being so supportive'

"You're welcome."

I wasn't sure how long I would be able to keep this up; just blocking a stupidly over-sized sword is wearing me out. Damn poison. Damn Zabuza. Damn fox.

"Hey!"

I felt my knees starting to buckle and I knew that I was going to fall and Zabuza was going to kill all my comrades and Tazuna. I was about to give away when Kakashi-sensei stabbed the nuke-nin with his kunai but then turned to water. I couldn't make out what happened next because my vision was blurring and my weapon disappeared.

'What the...?'

"You're fainting kid"

'... Oh...'

...

Half an Hour Later

Normal P.O.V

"-so just give me the bridge builder and no one will get hurt, much." Zabuza's voice was the first thing Naruto heard when she woke up, the first thing she saw was Ino and Sakura standing in front of her and Tazuna with their kunai raised in a defensive position. She looked around and noticed that the rest of the Genin were slowly getting up after what looked like a fight and Kakashi and Asuma in a water prison that the other Jonin was keeping together.

"Run! He's too strong for you! Take the bridge builder and get help." It was Asuma.

"You should listen to your sensei, brats, but sadly you won't get very far," a water clone of Zabuza then appeared in front of said ninja and un-sheathed its sword.

"Bullshit Asuma, we aren't running away," everyone turned to the source of the voice. Naruto was slowly standing up. "I already told you, I won't run away because that in my ninja way".

Zabuza started to chuckle and it got louder until it became a full laugh. "You think you can beat me?" a water clone appeared in front of him, "I'd like to see you try, blondie."

'Oh, I will'

A black bow that was carved at the edges to look like fire appeared in her hand and a plain black quiver of arrows appeared on her back. Her eye also changed to the Kishi No Meiyo and she opened her chakra-enhanced eye as she pulled out an arrow and drew it back.

'Here goes nothing, and I should really think of a name for my other eye'

"Meh..."

When Naruto let the arrow loose, the tip set on fire and she made half of the rat hand seal with her left hand, resulting in the arrow duplicating itself. The original arrow hit the water clone, dispelling it and the second headed straight for Zabuza's arm. At the last second the ninja jumped to the side, releasing the jutsu that held Asuma and Kakashi.

"How dare you?! Just for that I'll make your death as slow and painful as possible!" the nuke-nin un-sheathed his sword and raised it above his head to throw it. Asuma acted quick enough to catch the blade with his trench knives.

"Well done Naruto. Kakashi and I will deal with this bastard."

Zabuza jumped away from them and started to think. 'That brat, thanks to her those two pests are free... I need to trap them again'

"Fuuton: Spiralling Blast," Asuma placed one hand on his chest and the other to cup his lips and exhaled deeply as an extremely strong gust of wind came from his mouth. Zabuza grabbed his throat and fell to his knees.

'I can't breathe!' thought the nuke-nin. Kakashi then went through his own hand seals.

"Katon: Raining Fire" The Copy-Cat Ninja then removed his mask but blocked everyone's view of his face with his free hand as a huge fireball was blasted upwards into the sky from his mouth and as it started to descend, broke up into dozens of little fireballs, all heading for Zabuza. By that time Asuma had finished and the nuke-nin was getting up from the ground just in time to see what was heading for him. With a last burst of strength he jumped to the size but got caught a fireball to the chest and fell under water.

Everyone was on edge now as they knew that wouldn't stop him. Suddenly a figure burst from the water and landed on the shore. Zabuza was panting and had some burns where the fireball hit him.

"You think... that will... stop me? Heh, think aga-," but he didn't finish his sentence because two senbon needles pierced his neck and he fell facedown, seemingly dead. A ninja with a strange mask proceeded to jump down and land next to the body.

"I thank you for your assistance; I have been hunting this particular ninja down for some time." Stated the mysterious ninja.

"Who are you?" asked a very confused Sakura.

"I am a hunter-nin from Kirigakure who has been tracking Zabuza Momochi. My job is to hunt missing ninjas and exterminate them as their body holds our village's secrets. Again I thank you and farewell." And with those last words, the ninja disappears with Zabuza Momochi's corpse.

"Well then, I believe it's time to..." Kakashi started talking but suddenly collapsed face down on the ground.

The Sarutobi sighed and began to explain that it must have been because Kakashi over-used his Sharingan and that Sasuke and Choji should carry him while he carries Naruto. Of course, Naruto protested at first, trying to convince everyone she was fine and that it's practically just a scratch but saved her ears from the big lecture she would get from a certain pink-haired girl because of the look said kunoichi was giving her.

...

Tazuna's House

"Tsunami! I'm home and I brought the ninjas but one is out cold and the other is injured!" a young woman then walked through a door that looked that it led to the kitchen in once Sakura shut the door behind her, "this is my daughter, Tsunami."

"It's a pleasure to meet all of you but it seems you all need medical treatment, just take yourselves up-stairs and into the last three bedrooms down the hall and I will be up shortly.

"Thank you, Tsunami-san." Asuma then gave instructions to the Genin and walked to their given rooms with Kakashi, Asuma and Naruto in one room, now called the medical room. The rest of the boys next to the medical room and the girls next on the other side of it.

...

Ino's P.O.V

Sakura hasn't said anything yet and neither have I as she's probably having the same thoughts am I, 'is Naruto going to be okay? Was Asuma-sensei doing anything about it? How long did Kakashi-sensei say how long the poison would take to spread? I'm sure I heard him mention something about four hours before mumbling something else. How long has it been since then? Three hours?'

From the corner of my eye I saw Sakura shift a little bit. I hope Naruto's okay.

...

Naruto's P.O.V

'Ugh... my head feels like a brick was slammed into it, where am- oh wait.'

"Hi Kyuubi-san"

I look up and see Kyuubi-san's large eyes staring at me from behind his cage; of course I'd be in my mind.

"Well this doesn't look good"

"What doesn't?"

"You are such a baka. This poison is extremely annoying; I can't get rid of it"

"Am I going to die?"

I didn't get a response from that, not that I care, we all die once in our lives.
