………………………………………………………………………………………………

CHAPTER 9

"The Fury of Team 7"

Kisame grabs his sword off the fishing line (rather……it "comes" to him). He easily deflects Zabuza's sword. After that he runs in the bushes to change his clothes.

Meanwhile, Asuma and the others prepare for a surprise attack. The team hears someone coming….

"Get ready…." said Gaara. I think he's coming.

Then…..they see him……It was……………….Kakashi?

"Kakashi!! What the?" yelled Asuma. "How'd you get here?"

Kisame comes back in his Akatsuki wardrobe …….

"Me and Guy were tracking Zabuza….Have you seen him?"

"We saw his sword but not him."

"Asuma!!!' yelled Kisame. "Are you really that dumb!!!"

Kisame rushes towards Kakashi from behind and hacks him in two.

Everyone is shocked and surprised….the end of Kakashi?

It was a water clone……

"And you call yourself a Jonin…..pathetic." said Kisame. "See what smoking does to you?...Your eyesight is almost as bad as Itachi's!!!!"

(Sasuke thinking) Where is he?!!!

Asuma pulls out another cigarette…..

"I swear if you drop that in my lake……" said Kisame.

(Sasuke thinking) If he kills those fish….so help me….

"Asuma!!" yelled Shino. "Enough!!! I thought you cared about Kruenai…..You'll die before you can even….."

"Alright!!! I get the picture."

"Enough!!!!" yelled Sasuke.

Sasuke grabs the fishing rod and begins fishing by himself…..He catches 1 and puts it in a bucket of water…..

All of Sudden ……Sasuke gets struck by Kunai……..

Gaara starts to smile……. (He senses bloodshed….he can't wait for the real battle to start.)

Substitution Jutsu……

Sasuke is now hiding in the tree………waiting…..

Then …..Zabuza swoops down right in front of Kisame……

"Hello……..Kisame…."

"What do you want?" asked Kisame. "My day off is already ruined……you're making it even worse…"

"I have nothing to do with your friends over there. But………You have something that belongs to me……"

"I do?"

"You owe me 500,000 Ryo…..remember?"

"No I don't remember………What's the point….your supposed to be dead…"

"Well I guess if you won't pay-up….."

Zabuza closes his eyes and starts to chuckle……

(Sasuke thinking) Nows my chance….his guard is down…

"Who are you hiding from?"

"Naruto!!!... What are doing here?"

"I'm here to help."

"Go away!!! This is MY battle …..I'll be the one to defeat Zabuza. I'm sick of you always being the hero!!!"

"Sssssshhhhh!!!! He'll hear us."

Zabuza gets high all of a sudden and starts hacking away at Kisame. The two begin battling.

"Should we help Kisame?" asked Shino.

"Shut-up!! And start fishing." said Asuma. "Let them solve their own problems.

Gaara walks towards the lake and accidentally slips……. …and falls into the lake….

"You Ok Gaara?"

"Argh!!!!" yelled Gaara. "My Gourd!!!!...It's Mud!!!

"Shino starts to laugh hysterically……

Gaara was now pissed off……

Shino keeps laughing…..

"I don't have time for this" said Gaara. "I'm leaving……."

And so……an angry Gaara leaves the scene (You fans of Gaara...it's Ok…I'm sorry)

"Now look what you did Shino." said Asuma there goes one of our teammates.
"But I wasn't laughing……It was Roger…I swear….."

(Asuma thinking) "Who sprayed him with bug spray?...He's been acting really strange lately."

Shino starts to fish….and he catches 2 more. (7 more to go)

(Kisame speaking) "Ninja Art:……….."

"Sorry I'm late……."

"Hey!!! Kakashi!!!" yelled Naruto.

Asuma and Shino don't even see Kakashi…

Zabuza looks up and spots Sasuke and Naruto.

"I already knew you guys were there….."

Sasuke is now pissed off of course…..

"Kakashi……Naruto……and Sasuke….just like old times." said Zabuza. "Where's Sakura?

"She's right here said Kakashi"

Saukra swoops down right beside Kakashi. She has a different fighting stance……This time she's wearing her headband around her forehead and she's wearing the same outfit…..but it's Blue this time. She also has 6 Kunai straped to her wrist and a Crossbow in her hand. (Go Sakura!!!)

"What happened to your idiotic friend in the Green pants?"

"He had some business to attend to with his turtle…… I think he lost his shell or something……Poor thing….."

Naruto and Sasuke drop down from the tree……and both of them stand next to Kakashi and Sakura….

Meanwhile……

"How many fish do we have now?" asked Asuma.

"We have 5 now…." said Shino.

"Hurry up!!! said Asuma."

"Why don't you stop yelling and help me!!!" yelled Shino

"I admit it!!! I don't know to fish!!!"

(By the way…..their backs are turned towards all the action. They don't even see team 7)

Back to the main situation……

Kisame tries to sneak away as Zabuza talks to Kakashi.

"I'm not finished with you yet Kisame!!!" yelled Zabuza.

"I don't owe you crap!!!" said Kisame.

Zabuza dashes towards Kisame in a burst of anger…..

"Water Release: Exploding Water Shockwave!!!!" yelled Kisame.

Suddenly Kisame turns the whole area into one huge lake!!!

"What the?!!!" yelled Shino. He's turns around and sees a Tidal wave headed straight for him. Shino grabs the bucket of fish (7 fish) and leaps into a tree with Asuma.

"Don't panic you guys…." said Kakashi. "Focus your chakra in your feet and stand on the water."

Thanks to Jiraiya's training, Naruto easily gets it. Sakura already has excellent chakra control. And Sasuke……..well………he's an Uchiha – of course he gets the hang of it….."

Shino sends Roger to look for fish……and Asuma goes to catch them.

"Yes!! We have all 10 fish." said Shino. "Now all we have to do is throw the fish into another lake."

"Where's the nearest lake?" asked Asuma.

"Oh………….umm…uhh……………crap. All the lakes in this area have been covered by that tidal wave…. We're standing over one huge "lake" now…..where do we throw the fish?"

"…….I got it!!!" yelled Asuma. "There's a lake by the Village near the shipping port"

"That's a swamp!!!..."

"Like the scroll said…..A "huge puddle of water"…..a swamp should count right?"

"My head hurts..."

"Right?!!!"

"Yes!! Yes!!...Let's go!!"

Shino and Asuma start to dash across the treetops carrying the fish with them. The Village is a mile away….. (It's like they don't even care about Sasuke)

Back to the Fight…..

"Now we can have a real battle" said Kisame.

Kakashi, Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto, dash towards Zabuza.

"Our fight isn't over!!!" said Kakashi. "This time you won't run away!!! Sharingan!!!"

"That trick again I see……Hidden Mist Jutsu!!!"

Now the gang is in the middle of a gigantic lake (with trees standing in it) (Picture them in a huge bowl of water)…..and its hard to see……The only people who can fight well in this environment is Kisame and Zabuza.

(Kakashi speaking) "Stay on guard you guys….We'll do this together."

Kisame and Zabuza continue fighting…..

"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!!!" yelled Zabuza.

"Water Style: Water Shark Jutsu!!! yelled Kisame.

The two struggle as their jutsus go back and forth…… (Who will win? The Shark or the Dragon?)

Kisame starts to slowly overpower Zabuza

"I see him!!!" said Kakashi.

"I'll get him!!!" yelled Sasuke.

"Sasuke!!" yelled Kakashi

Sasuke summons a Shadow Clone and prepares a Perfect Rasengan!!

He dashes towards Zabuza…..But it wasn't Zabuza……it was Kisame.

(Kisame thinking) "That brat is coming straight for me with that dumb Chidori of his…….If I move away… the Water Dragon will hit me……If I stay……..crap…."

(Sasuke Thinking) Yes!!...Finally I can prove myself stronger than Naruto!!!"

Kisame then controls the Shark with one hand and grabs his sword with the other….

"Its over!!!" yelled Kisame. Kisame is about to cut off Sasuke's hand….but….

"What the?!!!"

Kisame has no choice but to block incoming arrows from Sakura's crossbow—headed straight for his face……

"Argh!!! Darn it all!!!" After blocking the arrows….Kisame sees that Sasuke is already too close. In 2 seconds Kisame drops his sword and forms one hand sign…..

"Water Shark Bomb!!!"

Kisame's water shark explodes blowing away Zabuza, Sasuke, and Himself……

(Hey……what would you have done if you were in the same situation?)

Kisame crashes into a tree……Sasuke is under water……And who knows what happened to Zabuza…..

The Mist starts to clear…..

So does the smoke…… Sasuke rises to the surface……he's Ok ….But he's badly injured.

"Sasuke!!!" yelled Sakura.

"Wait here Sakura!!" said Kakashi.

Kakashi runs to the scene…..

"That was one heck of a shot!!!" yelled Naruto. "It took out all three of them…..well…..technically…….I guess."

Kisame barely stands up on his feet…… He looks around and finds no Zabuza.

"Oh well….I might as well get rid of this water……."

Kisame somehow gets rid of the water….. (Don't ask me how he did it……He put it there…and he can take it out.)

Still no sign of Zabuza.

"Sharigan!!!" yelled Kakashi.

He starts looking around…..he finds a piece of Zabuza's clothing on the ground.

Kisame goes back to fix his lake (the one with his name on it). After restoring it, he sits there taking break…..that explosion did a number on him…

"I found you!!!" yells Kakashi. Zabuza is in the woods sitting down caring for his wounds…

Kisame doesn't even care…..

Kakashi gets into stance…he cuts his finger (for blood) He takes out a scroll and starts to wave it around for awhile………then he rolls up the scroll and firmly puts it on the ground…

"Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu!!!"

Kakashi summons several of his ninja dogs……He gives them Zabuza's scent…….and the dogs rush towards Zabuza. He tries to run away but several dogs come up from the ground and hold him. (With their teeth…..ouch…)

"Lightning Blade!!!" yelled Kakashi.

Kisame just sits there……….like I said he doesn't care…..

"Just like old times!! Right!!" yelled Kakashi. "Your Future is DEATH!!!

Kakashi dashes towards Zabuza and impales him with his ultimate jutsu……

The Ninja dogs disappear and Zabuza falls on the ground, defeated…..

Kakashi bids farewell to Zabuza and turns around to walk away ….

Suddenly …better yet….Miraculously…Zabuza (Half-dead) gets back up and tries to kill Kakashi!!!

Kakashi turns around………

Zabuza all of sudden stops…….With a shocked expression on his face…….drops his sword and falls on his knees….

He falls flat on his face……

Kakashi is shocked, as he sees several arrows and Kunai embedded in his back…….

(Talk about brutal……He's not getting back up….)

"What a brutal Kunoichi……. I'm speechless." said Kakashi

Sakura runs toward Kakashi...

"You alright Kakashi-Sensei?"

"Yeah I'm fine…..watch where you point that thing!!……"

"Sorry….."

"Where did you get that crossbow?" asked Naruto.

"Neji gave it to me….."

Kakashi walks up to Sasuke…

"You alright?"

No reply

"Hey listen…….None of us expected that explposion……"

"If Sakura hadn't interfered…."

"You would have lost your hand……"

"I hate all of you……."

"Course you do….. …"

"Hey!!...Where are Asuma, Shino, and Gaara?" said Sasuke.

"They were here?" asked Kakashi.

"Yes me, Gaara, Shino, and Asuma came here to catch 10 fish and throw them into a "huge puddle" of water. I was busy with you guys…..so I forgot about them."

"Before I came here, Tsunade told me that you guys might not get along…..she was right." said Naruto.

"Shut-up!!" yelled Sasuke. "I'm tired of waiting I want my body back!!'

"Hey!!" yelled Kisame. "Shut-up!!! And just leave!!!

"You shut-up!!!" yelled Sasuke. "I would've had you if it wasn't for Sakura!!!"

"Calm down" said Kakashi.

Kisame shakes his head

Let's go back to Tsunade's office…..shall we……

Tsunade takes out the scroll with the steps……She unrolls it further and she sees that there are no more steps to be completed!!!

She opens it even further and sees the last sentence.

"After completing these steps….Those affected by this Jutsu…Shall return to normal….Let it be a lesson for them."

"Finally!!!' said Tsunade. "The curse will be broken...When they come back……Everything will be back to normal. Yes!!! At last….. My office will be free from those two idiots!!!"

Tsunade accidentally breaks her desk………It splits in two…..

Let's check on Shino and Asuma……

The two make it to the swamp…..

"Finally!!! We're here…" said Shino (exhausted)

They hurl the fish into the swamp…..and the filthy waster splashes in their faces….(poor guys)

"Looks like we finished the mission." said Asuma. All of a sudden Gaara meets up with them…… (Poor Gaara….)

Sasuke is still arguing and yelling…..then all of sudden Naruto and Sasuke stop talking….

"What's wrong you guys?" asked Sakura

Their Facial expression changed…..like they'd seen a ghost or something…….Then…….Both of them pass out!!

"Naruto!!! Sasuke!!!" yelled Sakura rushing to help.

Kakashi checks their vitals….

"They're still breathing….But…..what happened?"

20 minutes later.

Sasuke wakes up……He looks down in complete SHOCK……

Naruto Starts to wake up…….He looks down in SHOCK…..

Sasuke sees a blue shirt and white shorts…..

Naruto sees his orange jumpsuit……

"YEAH!!!!!!" yelled Naruto.

"What is it Sasuke?" asked Kakashi.

"It's me Naruto!!!"

"You guys changed back!!!" yelled Sakura.

She Hugs Naruto and Sasuke…..

Kakashi has to pull Sakura off Sasuke….

"Hey Sasuke…..aren't you happy?" asked Sakura.

"He's still mad about today Sakura……give him time….."

Kisame hears the news and immediately leaves…..

Shino, Asuma, and Gaara meet up with the team and hear the good news…

"You Ok Naruto?" asked Shino.

"I'm fantastic!!! Believe It!!!

Deep in the woods

"What took you so long……Kisame….?" said Itachi. "Your break ended ours ago….."

"I have good news."

"What is it?"

"Naruto and Sasuke have changed back…….."

"Interesting……….The time has come to make our move."

"Exactly!!!...But first I need to fix my sword…..It's bent…"

"How'd that happen?"

No Reply….

Asuma, Kakashi, Shino, Gaara, Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura…..make their way back to the Hidden Leaf Village…….
