Servant and Master, A Naruto FanFic
Disclaimer: I still do not own Naruto.
A/N: Sorry it took awhile. My internet has been out, but it is back now.
Chapter 8
"You're finished."
Zabuza chuckled. "Finished? You really don't get it do you? Your technique is nothing, but a crass imitation. I'll never be defeated by a mere copy ninja like you." He chuckled once more. "You are full of surprises though. You already copied my water clo-"
"You don't have to explain everything," Naruto shouted impatiently.
"Shut up Naruto," Kakashi growled.
"We saw him. No words necessary. Skip to the fighting," she cheered.
"This is serious Naruto," Sakura hissed.
"That's quite the spunky student you have Kakashi."
"Dobe! Sit down and shut up!"
"Killjoy," she shouted before she plopped onto the ground and became silent.
"Shall we get back to our fight, Kakashi?"
Another Zabuza appeared behind Kakashi. He got rid of the clone in front of him and ducked in time to dodge Zabuza's attack. Zabuza dug his sword into the ground and used his momentum to kick Kakashi. He picked up his sword and ran after Kakashi. Kakashi layed makibishi spikes to him down, but he skillfully avoided them.
It was a battle in the water now. Kakashi came up first. He wasn't alone for long though. Zabuza ran behind him and used the water prison jutsu, which sealed Kakashi in a ball of water. "This prison may be made from water, but it's stronger than steel. It's pretty had to fight when you can't move. So much for the great Kakashi. I'll finish you off later, but first your little friends will have to be eliminated. Water clone jutsu." His clone walked onto land and made a hand sign. The fog rolled in once more, but it was not as thick as it had been earlier.
"He disappeared again. I'm starting to not like this guy."
"Dobe, get over here," Sasuke ordered.
"Ri-"
Zabuza came out of nowhere and sent Naruto flying. Her headband came off and landed by his foot. He stepped on it. "You're just bratty little kids."
"Naruto-chan!"
Sasuke growled at the ninja.
"Listen! Get the bridge builder and run! You can't win this fight. He's using all his power to keep me in this prison, so he can only fight you with his clone, but his clone can't go too far from his real body. If you get away from him, he can't follow you. Now run!"
"That water makes your voice sound weird and I can't understand anything you are saying," Naruto said innocently.
"We've got to do it," Sasuke said suddenly as he ran at the clone. He threw shuriken at him, but he just blocked them with his sword. Sasuke attacked from the air next. Zabuza put his arm into the air, grabbing Sasuke's throat. Then he threw him and Sakura screamed, "Sasuke-kun!"
"Sasuke-sama! You've gone too far!" Naruto charged at Zabuza.
"Ahhh! Naruto-chan, what in the world are you doing?!"
Zabuza chuckled. "Fool." In one blow Zabuza threw Naruto at the feet of her friends.
"What are you thinking?! Charging at him by yourself. Even Sasuke couldn't get to him."
Naruto began to laugh.
"Have you gone insane?!"
Naruto held up her headband proudly. "I got my headband back," she declared.
Sakura smacked her on the back of her head. "Idiot!"
Sasuke sighed in relief. "Don't do anything stupid, dobe."
Naruto smiled at Sasuke as she tied her headband on. "Don't worry, I will. Ready?"
"Yeah."
"Let's go wild!"
Zabuza laughed maniacally. "Enough of these games. When I was your age, this hand had already crushed many opponents."
"Zabuza, the demon."
"Oh~. So I was in your bingo book, too."
"Long ago, the village hidden in the mist, also known as blood mist village, before a student could become a ninja, there was one final test."
"To pass you had to annihilate the other students. Imagine young ninja like you eating together, training together and then comes the final exam, only the rules changed. You can't stop until you destroyed your opponent. He was your friend. You shared your dreams. Now it's him, or you," Zabuza explained.
"That's so cruel," Sakura squeaked.
"Ten years ago in the village hidden in the mist, the graduation exam changed. One ear before, a dark evil had filled the school with terror. Without pause or hesitation a young boy, who wasn't even a ninja approached the class and took down over a hundred other students."
"It…It felt so…good." Zabuza elbowed Sasuke in the gut, not once, but twice.
"Sasuke-kun!"
"Sasuke-sama!"
Zabuza slammed his foot on Sasuke's stomach and said, "You're nothing."
Naruto had enough of this. "Kage bunshin no jutsu." A horde of Naruto appeared around Zabuza.
"Oh~. Shadow clones. And there's quite a few of them."
"Get your foot off of Sasuke-sama!" Each Naruto pulled out a kunai and jumped at Zabuza. Even though there were many Narutos, he blocked them. With a wave of his sword, they all went soaring through the air. The shadow clones disappeared one by one. "I'm not giving up. I've still got this." Naruto threw a weapon into the air. "Sasuke-sama!"
"Got it!" Sasuke spun around and landed perfectly with the weapon in hand. "Demon wind shuriken: windmill of shadows." He disappeared into the air and threw the shuriken will all his strength. It flew by the clone and headed straight for the real Zabuza.
"Smart, but not smart enough." He caught the shuriken with his free hand. He noticed another heading right at him. He moved out of harm's way and said, "A shuriken can't touch me."
Sasuke smiled and the shuriken turned into Naruto.
"What," Zabuza barked.
"Eat this," Naruto said as she threw the kunai.
Zabuza had no choice, but to remove the jutsu he had on Kakashi. He took the shuriken he had caught earlier and prepared to throw it at the defenseless blonde. "I'll destroy you."
Ka-chink. Kakashi blocked the blade as Naruto hit the water. He gave Zabuza a look of pure hatred. Naruto bobbed in the water. "Naruto that was an excellent plan. Don't ever do it again."
"Like that's going to happen," she laughed.
"You've grown up haven't you?"
"That was fun. I'll have to do that again for sure."
"I got distracted and lost my grip on the water prison."
"Don't flatter yourself. You weren't distracted, you were forced to let go. You're technique worked on me once, but won't work again. So…What's it going to be?"
Zabuza closed the shuriken so that all the blades were forced against Kakashi. Kakashi over powered Zabuza and hit the shuriken away. Both jounin jumped away from each other. They were doing the exact same hand signs. Ox-monkey-hare-rat-boar-bird-ox-horse-bird-rat-tiger-serpant-ox-ram…
" "Water style: water dragon jutsu." " Two dragons came out of the water and splashed into each other creating a wave that not only washed over those on land, but carried Naruto back to shore. Sword versus kunai, then more ninjutsu. "Water style: giant vortex jutsu," Kakashi said.
"What," Zabuza croaked.
A vortex swelled in front of Kakashi. It took hold of Zabuza and slammed him into a tree.
"You're finished."
"How? Can you see into the future?"
"Yes. This will be your last battle…ever."
Two senbon needles flew into Zabuza's neck. An ANBU stood in a nearby tree. "You were right. It was his last battle."
Kakashi checked his pulse and sighed. "No vital signs."
The ANBU bowed. "Thank you. I have been tracking Zabuza for a long time. Waiting for this chance to finally take him down. I am Haku, a member of the elite tracking unit of the village hidden in the mist. It was my duty to stop Zabuza."
Naruto growled at the tracker nin. "Who do you think you are?"
"Calm down, dobe."
"Whatever. Let's just go."
The ANBU disappeared from the tree and reappeared next to Zabuza. He picked up the body. "Your struggle is over for now. I must deal with the remains. There are many secrets in this body, they must not be allowed to get into the wrong hands. Please excuse me." He vanished, body and all.
Kakashi pulled his headband over his eye. "We haven't finished our mission yet. We still have to get the bridge builder to his bridge."
"Sorry I caused all this trouble for you, but you can stay at my house when we get to the village."
"Alright, let's get a move on."
They began to walk when Kakashi suddenly collapsed.
"Looks like he used too much chakra," Sasuke said.
"Then we better move double time," Sakura added.
A/N: That was kinda boring, but don't give up on me. The next chapter will be up soon. So continue reading and leave a review please!
