Chapter 6- Fighting Zabuza
I can hear a weird humming sound coming closer. Whatever it is, it's about to hit us! I throw Sasuke and Naruto to the ground as a massive sword whirls over our heads. A strange Ninja jumps onto the blade that is now stuck in a tree. He wants to kill the old guy.
Hmm… an understandable impulse, but I can't let him. He's a client, and also I don't get paid if I let some random guy have his head. Pity. I'm going to have to fight him now. But he isn't the only person besides us in the vicinity…
When I surfaced from my thoughts, Kakashi and the new guy were already fighting.
"Don't suppose we could talk about this? No? Oh well." I sighed "Let's fight then." I whip out a few shuriken and throw them at the enemy ninja, but he dodges them, while continuing his fight with Kakashi. I sigh again.
"Shadow possession jutsu." I mutter. My shadow stretches towards both fighters, but again they jump out of the way. "Hmm. This is boring me. Kakashi, you continue your little battle. I'll just protect the drunkard." Kakashi nods and I sit down and lean my head on the nearest tree. I summon a fox, tell it to call me if something interesting happens and I leap up into the trees.
"What the hell is she doing?" I hear the enemy shinobi ask. I think Kakashi said his name was Zabuza. Cool name.
"It's best not to ask with that one." is the last thing I hear from them.
I am a little way away before I can finally unfurl my fox ears and find the spy I sensed earlier.
Now, I can hear everything for miles. All I need to do is find the unfamiliar breathing and I've got them!
It is a little while before I track down the unknown watcher, but I can hear him now. It's a young male, breathing through a mask. I can see him now, but what is a hunter-nin doing watching my sensei's match? He's probably tracking Zabuza, but if that's the case, why hasn't he made his move yet?
He is suspicious, and I'm not going to let him mess things up for my mission. Threats to my team are eradicated, and since he is a threat, I'm going to have to put him out of the picture.
Using my chakra to draw the shadows around me like a cloak, I slip soundlessly through the dark trees, only just remembering to hide my ears. I remove a senbon from my pouch, not poisonous but it is coated in paralyzer. He won't be able to move for a few hours at least.
I quietly push the senbon into the back of his neck, pull it out and wipe it on his robes.
I drag the boy back to my team. They just stare at me, but Zabuza's eyes widen in shock.
"One spy, caught and dealt with. Don't look at me like that, he isn't dead! He just won't be able to move for a few hours. I sensed his presence earlier. That's why I left you guys. Well, I also wanted to see if you could survive without me, but yeah. Kakashi-sensei, why are you in a bubble of water? And why are there two Zabuzas?"
Sasuke answers for him. "Wow, you sure are observant Tsubomi." He roles his eyes "Kakashi-sensei was tricked by Zabuza and Zabuza put him in a water prison. I don't think he can breathe in there, so let's get him out quickly. The nearest Zabuza is a water clone made to deal with us."
"Right. I take it Zabuza can't move then?" Sasuke nods. "Then where's the challenge? Shadow possession jutsu!" My shadow stretches out, captures the clone and goes on towards Zabuza. He has to release the water prison to escape my jutsu, so my sensei is released.
Thankfully, he's still alive; if he had died I'd probably have to do loads of paperwork. Now I turn my attention fully to Zabuza and smile maliciously at him.
One tediously long fight later
"Earth Style: Vine Cocoon!" Zabuza is trapped, he struggles but he can't get free. Frankly, I'm surprised he can move at all. I laugh evilly. My team look at each other and back away from me. They know better than to try and save my prey. "Fire style: dark flame jutsu!"
The last thing Zabuza ever sees is me, approaching slowly, gently chuckling, with a dark flame flickering in my palm.
And that, my friends, is how to beat an S-rank missing nin.
The rest of the journey to the bridge builder's home is uneventful. Kakashi is nearly dead from chakra exhaustion, the client is extremely quiet, especially in my presence, and Sasuke and Naruto are even more scared of me.
Such is life.
Sorry it's short but I had stuff to do namely, revision for my GCSEs and my art coursework.
Question: Why did I write shadow clone jutsu? And why didn't anyone besides me notice? It's corrected now anyway, so no worries
