"So I'm famous now eh? Well, it's nice to bee recognized my the famed Copy Nin Kakashi." Zabuzza said. He then flickered his eyes over to the group of children with the bridge builder. One of them in particular caught his eye. "It seems I've not only stumbled upon Kakashi, but Naruko Senju as well. I've heard how strong you are, after all, I check up on my bingo books. You know, you were the youngest one to ever get into a bingo book, age 10 I believe. Though I can't say I'm surprised, the daughter of 2 Sannin and A Kage is bound to be great."

"That's not why I'm strong," Naruko started, "A person from say, the Uchiha clan, they might think they aren't good for the ninja life and become a civilian. Just because you have amazing blood coursing through your veins doesn't mean you're strong. It's the will to protect the ones you love, your precious people, that is what makes you truly strong."

"Pretty interesting thing to hear from a kid. Haku! I can't fend of the Copy Nin and this girl at the same time. Get down here! You're to fight the kids. Don't underestimate the blonde girl with low hanging pigtails though." Zabuzza said.

A girlish looking boy jumped down from the trees. He removed his hunter nin mask and put it in his pouch, no need for it now. He sized up his opponents, they didn't look like much, but if his master told him to beware one of them, he would be careful.

"Kids, be careful! We don't know what this kid's skill level is yet!" Kakashi yelled to his students.

Zabuzza engaged with Kakashi in battle.

Haku looked at the team in front of him along with the bridge builder. Once of them, a boy with black hair, started running towards him. The blondes had already started some plan when they noticed this.

"Sasuke! What are you doing?!" Naruko yelled.

"I can handle him myself! You just sit back and relax, it's not like girls would be useful in battle anyways!" he called out.

Naruko was about to go beat him to death like she had seen her mom do to men who looked on at them and her nee-chan and Shion when they were in the bath. She remembered she had to form a plan though. She took a deep breath and looked at Shion and Naruto.

"Okay, we have to make this plan quickly! Sasuke will just work as the decoy for now if he can't beat the kid. So, where were we?" Naruko said.

The next few minutes, the blondes formed their plan. Meanwhile however, Sasuke was busy fighting Haku.

"You cannot beat me. Stand down. I do not want to kill you." Haku said.

"Hn. Like you could beat me!" Sasuke stated, then he ran towards Haku.

Sasuke jumped up and swung a leg at Haku. Haku caught the boy's leg and flipped him around. Sasuke kicked him in the chin on the way down. Haku jumped a few steps away from Sasuke.

Sasuke started going through hand signs. "Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!" He called out. He took a big breath and shot it at Haku. Haku quickly jumped out of the way and behind a tree, where he started doing his own hand signs.

Sakura squealed. "SASUKE-KUN! I knew you were better than the stupid baka and the bitches in our team who claim to be great! You're way better than them!" She said.

Haku jumped out from behind the tree and called out his jutsu. "Ice Style: Demonic Mirrors!" He said. Water came out of the river nearby and froze into a dome of mirrors around Sasuke. Haku then stepped into the mirrors.

Sasuke looked around inside the dome, when suddenly, an image of Haku appeared in every mirror. He looked around, trying to find the real one, but he couldn't figure it out. He was starting to get a little nervous, what was this guy planning to do?

That's when senbon started raining down on him from a bunch of different directions. HE dodged some of them, but ended up getting about 7 in his back.

Sasuke was still standing, but that's when another volley of senbon came down, 4 of them embedding themselves in his legs.

He thought with the next volley, it'd be over, he couldn't take too much more after all. That's when one of the mirrors smashed into a million pieces, with Naruko standing right behind it.

"Never Fear, Naruko is here!" Naruko said, smirking.

With Kakashi and Zabuzza

"I don't like risking things, and knowing your rep, I might as well just start using this now." Kakashi said, lifting up his hitai-ite to show his Sharingan eye.

"Well, so I'm worthy enough to see the Sharingan eh? I feel honored." Zabuzza said.

Kakashi didn't reply, he took out a kunai and ran towards Zabuzza. Zabuzza brought up his sword to block Kakashi's kunai, he pushed the man back and immediately broke out into hand signs.

"Water Style: Hidden Mist Technique." He said. The whole area they were standing in covered in a thick fog.

'Dang it. I can't see anything through mist this thick. I just hope the kids aren't stuck in this.' Kakashi thought.

"7 different places to kill. Which one should I choose?" Zabuzza's voice sounded around Kakashi.

Kakashi was absolutely silent, waiting for the slightest sound to make Zabuzza reveal himself. He heard the swish of Zabuzza's sword and brought up his kunai to block it. Zabuzza jumped back to the water and started doing hand signs again. "Water Style: Water Clone Jutsu." He said.

His clone charged at Kakashi, who tensed his muscles, thinking it was the real thing. He waited until the clone was just close enough, and stabbed him through the chest. The clone turned into water and fell to the ground.

'Water Clone!' Kakashi thought, his eyes widening.

Zabuzza jumped forward, completing the final had sign. He pumped chakra into his jutsu and as he got right next to Kakashi, and yelled.

"Water Style: Water Prison!"

The water surrounded Kakashi and he berated himself in his head.

'Dang it Kakashi, how could you be so stupid? You gave him the perfect opening! Now he's going to try to attack the kids!' Kakashi thought.

Meanwhile, with Team 7 and Haku

"What!? Impossible! My Ice Mirrors can't be broken!" Haku yelled.

"Well they can if you use chakra infused fists!" Naruko said, punching another mirror into a bunch of pieces.

"No! No! How is this possible!?" Haku said, devastated.

Naruko kept smashing apart the mirrors one by one. She looked, there were only a few left. She decided to take them all out at the same time.

Naruko reached into the ground and pulled a giant tree root and threw it at the mirrors, pushing chakra into it.

It broke apart the mirrors and Haku flew out of one, into a tree behind him. He hit his head pretty hard, but was still conscious.

Naruko went through hand signs. She stopped on the final one. "Mokuton Style: Tree Binds!" The tree Haku had slumped against expanded, different 'arms' coming out of the tree that were filled with chakra. They wrapped around Haku, constricting him to the tree.

She turned to see Naruto helping Shion carefully pull the senbon out of Sasuke. Shion started healing Sasuke.

"Naruto, Shion you bakas! You're hurting Sasuke!" Sakura screeched.

"No, I'm actually healing him. So sit down and shut up!" Shion said.

Naruko then looked up to see Kakashi stuck in the water prison. Her eyes widened. She rushed over to Naruto.

"Naruto, I need your help! Kakashi-sensei is stuck! We need to get him and eliminate Zabuzza!" She whispered.

"Alright, you got any kind of plan?" He asked.

"Yeah, so here it is, it starts with..." Naruko then explained her plan to Naruto. He nodded and got up. Naruko jumped into the trees and hid her Chakra signature.

Naruto walked up to Zabuzza and Kakashi, only about 20 paces away from them. He created an about 14 Shadow Clones.

"Naruto, what are you doing?! You can't take him on! Run! Run while you can!" Kakashi yelled.

"No way Kakashi-sensei. One who defies orders and rules is trash, but one who abandons a comrade is worse than trash." Naruto stated, remembering Kakashi's words.

Zabuzza laughed. "Well, it seems like all of your students are all very inspirational Kakashi, or at least the two that I've seen. Both seemed to have realized what they stand for in life." He said. "Still, that doesn't mean that I'm gonna let you go."

"Alright guys, let's go!" Naruto yelled.

His clones charged forward and started attacking Zabuzza. He had his water clone stop all of the clones, which left him fine.

Naruto, sliding back, took out a large shuriken. He undid it and threw it at Zabuzza, the real Zabuzza.

"I see, aiming past the clone for the real me, smart, just not smart enough." Zabuzza said, catching the shuriken.

"Not smart enough eh?" Naruto said, smirking.

That's when Naruko jumped out of the trees. Her fist held high, aiming straight fro Zabuzza. Zabuzza saw her and knew he didn't have enough time to react, he still tried though. He brought up the shuriken and tried to block Naruko.

Naruko punched him in the head without holding back, which caused his head to completely explode, blood flying everywhere. But it came with a cost. Naruko got a large gash up the side of her leg. She yelped at the pain and fell on the ground, holding her leg, starting up a medical jutsu to heal herself.

Kakashi got out of the water prison, he coughed up some water, trying to recover quickly.

"Naruko-chan!" Naruto yelled, running towards his friend. "Are you alright?" he asked, next to her and watching her as she healed herself.

"I'm good, thanks Naruto-kun." She said, gratefully. The wound in her leg was closing, and soon, it would be gone completely. But even with her massive amount of chakra, she was running low. She had used Mokuton, her mom's techniques, and a few Rasengans that day. All which required a lot of chakra. By the end, she was panting. She would need a good night's sleep to regain her chakra, but that wasn't so bad.

Shion walked over, dragging Haku who was still in his tree binds. Sakura was carrying Sasuke on her back. Shion went over to Kakashi to check him, he was pretty good too, though he had used his Sharingan more than he should of.

"One thing though, how are we going to tote around a prisoner for the next few weeks?" Sakura asked.

"I got it!" Naruko said. She stood up and bit her thumb, she flashed through the correct hand signs and slammed her palm on the ground.

"Summoning Jutsu!" She called out. With a puff of smoke, a slug up to Naruko's bust and wider than her appeared.

Sakura looked kind of freaked out at the huge slug, Naruto was staring with wonder in his eyes, while Kakashi's eyes widened due to the fact that she knew the Summoning Jutsu. Shion just smiled.

"You summoned me, Naruko-san." The Slug said.

"Katsu-chan, how many times do I have to tell you, no need for the honorific! You're part of the family now, remember? Since my mom was the first summoner and I was the second, you guys just decided to let the summons stay in the family! This makes you a part of our family, so please, Katsu-chan, just call me Naruko-chan." She said.

"Alright, Naruko-chan, so, what do you need?" Katsu asked.

"Just take Haku's body and preserve like you always do. He isn't dead though, so don't use that kind of preservation. I'll probably summon you in a few weeks, once we get back to Konoha, unless my mom happens to summon one of you, in which case, tell your friends that they should tell her to summon you too,because of my request." Naruko said.

"Hai, Naruko-chan!" Katsu said. She went over to Haku and did what they always did to preserve bodies, she just took it inside of her mouth and kept it there.

"Eeewww! It ate that kid!" Sakura said.

Naruko glared at her. "Katsu-chan didn't eat him! She's preserving his body, the best way to do so is by using the oils and saliva found in a slug's mouth. Anyways, thanks Katsu-chan! See ya later!" Naruko said.

Katsu smiled and poofed away.

"Naruko, why didn't you tell me you could summon the slugs?" Kakashi asked.

"I don't know, never thought it was necessary. So, yeah, I summon the slugs, since it's a part of the Senju family now, my child or children will also sign it. Plus, I can summon the toads as well, since both of my tou-chan can summon frogs, the frogs really wanted me to sign with them. So, I was able to get the slug boss, Katsuya, and toad boss, Gamabunta, to meet and see if they were willing to share a summoner. They were and they both agreed to let any of the future generations of the Senju clan sign as long as the came from either Me, my descendents, or kaa-san for the Slugs, or Me, my descendents, or tou-chan for the Toads. And, well, since Tou-chan and Kaa-san are married, it's essentially be either a new sibling or a kid directly related to me." Naruko explained.

Kakashi's jaw dropped. Not only did she have two of the strongest summons to ever exist in Konoha, but she had also gotten them to agree to let the future generations of The Senju clan sign as well.

"Thank you for protecting me." Tanzuna stated. "As gratitude for your help, my house is near here and I'd like you all to stay there."

They all nodded and headed off further into Wave Country. When they arrived at the house, they met Tsunami and Inari.

Tsunami was a nice young woman in her late thirties, while Inari was just a young 7 year-old boy.

They had split up the rooms half and half. Girls in one room and Boys in the other.

All the members from the group gladly took a long rest, exhausted from the events earlier that day.
