The Battle at the Bridge!
Disclaimer: Shut up. I DON'T own Naruto, okay? :(
"Naruto," said Sakura who was shaking her sleeping blonde teammate like there was no tomorrow.
Sasuke was so annoyed that he decided to take the matter into his own hands.
"Stand back," commanded Sasuke. Sakura did as she was told.
Sasuke did a few handsigns, then said, "Fire style: Fireball Jutsu!" Instantly, a small ball of fire made its way to Naruto's—ahem—back-end.
Naruto immediately woke up to the smell of something cooking—or in this case, burning.
He looked at his two teammates, "Guys…what's that I smell…burning?"
Sakura covered her mouth to suppress her giggle and looked away while Sasuke smirked and pointed to Naruto's ass.
Once Naruto saw this, he started screaming, "AAAAHHHHHHHH! MY BUTT'S ON FIIIREEEEE!" He was making such a racket, running around the room, screaming, "Temeee! Sakuraaa-chaaan! Heeeeelp!"
"Should we help him?" Sakura mockingly asked Sasuke with a smirk.
Sasuke smirked as well and said, "Hn."
Sakura noticed a bucket of mop water at the corner of the room; she grabbed it and threw the water on Naruto.
The fire was put out but Naruto was still screaming and yelling. It was so noisy up there that Tsunami, Tazuna's daughter, came in to check on them. "Is everything alright?" she asked.
Naruto ran up to the woman and screamed, "Put this fire out!" as he was pointing to his back end.
"Fire?" Tsumani asked, perplexed, "What fire?"
"The fire on my—" Naruto cut himself off when he noticed that there was no fire in sight. "Uhh…never mind," muttered Naruto, embarrassed.
When Tsunami left the room, he noticed Sakura and Sasuke smirking at him, amused.
"You guys!" Naruto jumped at them strangling Sasuke, "What the heck did you do that for?"
Sasuke, pushing Naruto off him replied, "Waking you up, loser."
"You could have found another way to do it!" he yelled. "A way that doesn't involve fire…" he muttered.
"Yeah, yeah," said Sasuke, "We already tried that. Sakura was shaking you, trying to wake you up for hours!"
Naruto blushed, Sakura waking me up? How sweet.
When Sakura noticed that Naruto was drooling, she shook his shoulders, "Naruto, are you okay?"
"Oh yeah…" Naruto replied, still daydreaming, "just fine, sweetie." –This landed him a punch from dear Sasuke.
Sakura, confused at why Sasuke punched Naruto, cleared her throat, "Uh…we have to go…"
Naruto and Sasuke were stuck in a glaring contest—again.
Sakura sighed. She went near her teammates and snapped her fingers in between their faces. "Hey! We've gotta go!" she told them.
They broke out of their stupid glaring contest—for now, to go downstairs.
"What took you so long?" Kakashi asked his students.
"Had to wake up that dobe over there," Sasuke said, pointing at Naruto.
Naruto glared at him, "With fire," he muttered.
Kakashi looked over at Sakura for an explanation, but all he got was a shrug from the girl.
Kakashi sighed, "Let's get going."
"Come on," Tazuna complained, "We're wasting daylight."
Tazuna led the way to the bridge.
However, when they reached the bridge, it was not at all what you expected.
"What the heck?" Naruto blurted.
The workers were all lying on the floor, some knocked out cold, some dead.
Tazuna's eyes widened, "No!"
The five noticed that the mist was getting thicker around them by the second. No one could see anything.
When the mist was finally clearing, two figured emerged from them. It was none other than Zabuza Momochi, beside him was the hunternin they met the other day.
"He's back!" Naruto yelled out pointing to the man.
"Zabuza," Kakashi spat out.
"So we meet again, Kakashi," Zabuza said.
Kakashi decided to charge at him, but the hunter-nin got in the way and deflected Kakashi before he could lay a finger on Zabuza.
Zabuza chuckled evilly, "hand over the bridge-builder if you don't want any trouble."
No sudden movement from anyone.
"All right," said Zabuza, "we do this the hard way!"
Kakashi again launches an attack on Zabuza. The hunter-nin charges to Kakashi but is pushed away by Sasuke.
Sasuke tries to land punches on Haku but Haku was able to dodge each and every one of them.
Sasuke gets frustrated and fights Haku using taijutsu only which Haku skillfully deflects.
Sakura and Naruto were keeping Tazuna in sight while Kakashi battles with Zabuza.
Sasuke gets more and more frustrated, he couldn't land a single blow on his opponent. He then closes his eyes and clenches his fists. When he opens them, he reveals…the SHARINGAN!
Sasuke's eyes were blood red, not the usual dark color they were. Using his sharingan, he sufficiently lands a punch on Haku. Sasuke feels himself getting faster and faster, landing punch after punch and kick after kick on Haku; he was too fast for him.
Sakura and Naruto watched in amazement as Sasuke went all-out with Haku.
Meanwhile, Kakashi was having a little trouble. The mist was too thick, his Sharingan appears useless.
Haku had enough of this, he did some handsigns with a single hand and cried out, "Secret Ice Style Jutsu: Crystal Ice Mirrors!"
Sasuke's eyes widened when he saw that he was trapped in a cage of ice mirrors.
Ice mirrors?Sasuke thought to himself. What could they possibly do?
Sasuke went closer to one mirror, he saw Haku inside one, holding needles.
Haku hopped from mirror to mirror throwing several needles on Sasuke. When he stopped, Sasuke had several scratches.
Naruto decided that it was time for him to do something. "Sakura-chan," he said, "Keep watch on Tazuna while I go help Sasuke."
No matter how much Sakura wanted to help too, she had to stay and protect the client. She had no choice but to nod to Naruto.
Naruto yelled, "Shadow clone jutsu!" Several Narutos came out of nowhere and jumped at Haku, momentarily distracting him.
Sasuke noticed that Haku was gone, and he heard Naruto from the inside. Sasuke saw that he could fit through one of the gaps, he made a run for it but he found himself being repelled and pushed back.
I guess there's no choice,thought Sasuke, I'm going to have to break these mirrors.
Sasuke did all he can to try breaking them, but none of his attacks made even a dent on it whatsoever.
"Let Sasuke out, you creep!" he heard Naruto yell from the outside.
Naruto!Thought Sasuke, he can help me get out of this! He could try breaking the mirrors from the outside…
"Hey Sasuke-teme," Naruto came up from behind him, disrupting his thoughts.
"Do-Dobe!" Sasuke exclaimed, "What the heck are you doing?"
"I made a clone distract him while I snuck inside to help you!" said Naruto clearly beaming with pride, "Great plan, huh?"
Sasuke clenched his teach, "No you, loser! Terrible plan!" He scolded Naruto, "The mirrors can't be broken from the inside you idiot! I was going to ask you to try breaking it from out there!"
"That won't work," the hunter-nin said, "These mirrors are not ordinary mirrors, they are ten million times stronger than regular ones."
Sasuke blamed Naruto, "Now we're both trapped, you idiot!"
Naruto and Sasuke glared at the ninja.
The ninja, again, hopped from mirror to mirror throwing hundreds of needles and injuring Naruto and Sasuke.
"There's gotta be a way to get out of here," Naruto said.
Sasuke started forming several hand signs.
"What're you doing Sasuke?" asked Naruto.
"These crystals are made out of ice," said Sasuke, "and what melts ice?"
"Fire…?" said Naruto.
"Exactly," said Sasuke as he formed more hand signs.
"Don't do it Sasuke! It'll just waste your chakra!" Naruto yelled, but it was too late…
"Fire style: Fireball Jutsu!" A huge ball of chakra came out of Sasuke mouth as he aimed it towards the mirrors.
And…there was no effect whatsoever.
"…I can't melt it."
Sasuke sighed in frustration. "Any other ideas?" he asked Naruto.
"Just one," said Naruto as he formed a hand sign, "Multi-shadow clone jutsu!"
Several Naruto appeared and tried smashing the mirrors, hitting the mirrors with kunais,anything! Naruto gave up after a few minutes and his clones disappeared.
"I guess there's only one thing to do," said Naruto looking to the sky—dramatically.
Sasuke waited, anxious.
"Saaaaakuraaaaaaa-chaaaan!" yelled Naruto.
This made Sasuke smack his forehead with his palm.
Sakura heard Naruto yell out her name.
"My teammates," Sakura said to Tazuna, "They're in trouble."
"Kakashi-sensei—!"
"A little busy here, Sakura!" Kakashi yelled while trying to dodge Zabuza's attacks.
Sakura thought for a minute. "Aha!" she said. Sakura did a few hand signs and then smacked her palm to the ground. The ground rose up from its natural position to form a box which would protect Tazuna if ever.
"Hang in there, Tazuna!" Sakura told him while making her way towards her teammates.
"As if I have a choice...?" Tazuna shouted.
She stood in front of the ice mirrors dome where Naruto and Sasuke were trapped in.
Naruto saw Sakura from a gap. "Sakura-chan!" he cried out, gleefully.
Sasuke couldn't deny that he was happy to see her too.
"What's happening?" she asked.
"Well—" Naruto was cut off because someone had grabbed Sakura from behind and threw her inside the dome. Her back crashed on one of the mirrors behind Naruto and Sasuke. Which meant—yes, all three of them were trapped inside that thing!
"What do we do now?" Naruto asked, panicking.
Haku threw more needles at them for the longest time ever; all three were left severely injured.
"Have you guys noticed something?" Sasuke asked.
"You mean like that we're not yet dead?" replied Naruto.
"Exactly!" Sasuke said.
Naruto looked at him like he was crazy.
"He's right Naruto," Sakura interjected, "How long have you guys been fighting here?"
"I don't know!" replied Naruto, "A reallylong time?"
"And don't you notice how he never hits the vital areas?"Continued Sakura, "like the heart or the brain?"
Naruto finally realized it.
"Sakura!" Sasuke said, "Can't you do ice jutsus?"
"I haven't mastered anything!" she replied, frantic.
"Do something!" commanded Sasuke as more needles were thrown at them non-stop.
"I'll try something," she said, "but it's a little rusty."
"Finish it up Haku!" they heard Zabuza call out from his battle with Kakashi.
"This is it," Haku told them, "I'm not gonna hold back anymore, these needles will pierce you—kill you!"
All three of their eyes widened when they heard that.
Sakura was still doing her hand signs when the deadly needles were thrown at them.
"Sakura!" Naruto screamed.
And everything went white…

"...Sakura...!"

I'm hungry.
Then eat yourself.
No way! I want milk.
What?
Naruto wants his milk!
Are you serious? No ramen?
Milk! Milk! Naruto want milk!
What the hell?
Why don't you shut up and just get him some milk?
Well, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
Actually, I FELL OFF THE BED!
Are you serious?
Do I look like I'm kidding? (Giant nerve popping out of her forehead.)
Naruto still wants milk!
I am not getting this idiot milk!
Shut up and be a man, Sasuke!
How is getting milk for Naruto 'being a man'?
If it stops him from acting like that! (Sakura points to baby Naruto sucking his thumb.)
Oooh, I have some way for you to act like a man, Sasuke. (Giggle, giggle.) Come over here.
No.
Why not? (Batters eyelashes.)
I have a bad feeling about this.
(Hands Icha-Icha-Paradise to Sasuke) Read this! And take care of my precious babies! (Kakashi pulls out handkerchief and wipes his eyes.)
Ew. No way. I am not a perv!
Not yet. (Kakashi chuckling evilly.)
You're an idiot, Kakashi.
('IDIOT' written in gigantic letters made out of cinder-blocks fall on Kakashi's head.)
Where's Naruto's milk? WAAAAAAAH! (Anime tears come out of his eyes.)
Oh my god! Stop crying! It's giving me a headache!
Why you so cranky, Mommy Sakura-chan? WAAAAAH! Where's my milk?
(Sakura hits baby Naruto on the head.) That'll teach you some manners! And I'm NOT YOUR MOMMY!
WAAAAAAAAAH! Daddy Sasuke-teme! I want milk! And Mommy Sakura-chan's CRANKY!
(WHACKS baby Naruto's head.) I am NOT YOUR DADDY!
(WHACKS baby Naruto's head.) And I am NOT YOUR MOMMY!
I still want milk. (Crying.)
If Sakura's the mom and Sasuke's the dad, then what am I?
Why do you even care?
Because—
GRANDPA!
What?
(Clapping hands) GRANDPA KAKASHI!
GRANDPA! (Kakashi turns wrinkly and old.)
Serves you right.
(In a raspy old man's voice) Why you so disrespectful towards an elder, eh? (Brings out a cane.)
Where'd you get the cane?
(Starts to whack Sasuke's head)
WHY ARE YOU SO NOISY?
Kakashi's whacking me!
Yaay! Go GRANDPA-KAKASHI!
STOP WHACKING ME!
I'm not gonna stop whacking you until you read Icha-Icha Paradise!
What? No way!
(Storm clouds encircle Kakashi) Try me.
(Gulps) All right!
What? (Momentarily turns sunny)
Give me the books.
(Kakashi hands over his whole collection.)
FIRE STYLE: FIRE BALL JUTSU! (Sasuke burns the books.)
Oi! Why does it smell like smoke! I HATE SMOKE! SASUKE!
My babies! (Digs up a grave for every book.)
Pathetic.
(Kakashi picks up his cane and glares evilly at Sasuke.)
I think I saw the face of EVIL.
(Kakashi whacks Sasuke non-stop.)
He's whacking me again!
GO GRANDPA!
I am NOT A GRANDPA!
Then why do you have the cane?
To whack Sasuke with. (Goes back to whacking Sasuke.)
Help!
Handle your own problems, you idiot! I'm going home!
Naruto wants breast milk!
(Kakashi stops whacking Sasuke mid-air and stares at Naruto disbelievingly.)
(Sasuke stares at Naruto.)
(Sakura stops walking mid-way and stares at Naruto.)
What?
(Kakashi starts giggling and then looks at Sakura.)
(Storm clouds hover over Sakura's head. Lightning flashes. She cracks her knuckles.)
Eh? Am I in trouble?
No, idiot. You just looked into the eyes of death.
(Sakura punches Naruto with full force.)
(Baby Naruto flies over the horizon.)
(Sasuke stands there, mouth agape.)
(Tears in Kakashi's eyes) Good bye, dear grandchild.
HE'S NOT YOUR GRANDCHILD! HE'S NOT YOUR GRANDCHILD!
Way to ruin a man's dreams, you evil people!
I'm going home!
Same here. I'm tired of this stupidity.
No kidding. I wonder where Naruto went.
Don't know. Don't care. I'm going to get some shut-eye. (Sakura leaves.)
I'm leaving. (Sasuke leaves.)
I'm going to find Naruto and give him the talk.
(From the forest) Why do I have a feeling Kakashi-sensei's gonna do something terrible to me?
