Chapter 10

the journey to the waves and surprises

As the team were meeting up at the gate so far it was just kakashi and Tazuna next to arrive was sakura then the last to arrive where Sota, Sasuke and Naruto, as the team were waiting for the person the hokage assigned to help them, tazuna was looking around nervously as sakura was trying to talk to sasuke and sota, naruto was asleep and kakashi was reading is favorite book icha icha paradise.

"you sure these kids can do this" tazuna asked "don't worry I'm a jounin and the other person well I don't know much of but the hokage is sending them with us so then they must be skilled to, speaking of witch there they are" kakashi said and everyone looked at the figure walking toward them, they were covered from head to toe in a cloak so they couldn't tell if this person was male or female once they where in front of kakashi they handed him a scroll.

Kakashi read the scroll then put it away, "alright team lets go" he said, naruto was not gonna let it slide though and had to ask "chotto chotto Kakashi Sensei what did the scroll say" kakashi looked up from his book and saw that his team was curious, Kakashi sighed "it was a note saying not to bother are friend here they are here to help if it gets to that point and if they want to reveal themselves it is there choice understood" the team nodded and they were off.

The six of them have been walking for a bit with naruto and sakura doing all the talking and sasuke and sota both silently listening to them talk or should we say arguing, as the team walked on kakashi and there friend noticed a pond in the middle of the road, they looked at each other and nodded then did a substituted Jutsu before hidding in the woods while there replacement fallowed the rest.

The team where walking a little ahead when chains wrapped around kakashi and the cloaked figure, "two down" the enemy ninja they then pulled the chains and cut kakashi and the cloak figure to pieces leaving the others in shock, then one of them was in front on naruto "three down" sota got in front of naruto blocking the attack while sasuke kicked the ninja trying to attack from behind, before things could go further kakashi had knocked one of the enimey ninja in the head rendering him unconscious while the cloaked figure punched the ninja in front of naruto and sota then kicked them in the stomach, as they to fell unconscious

Kakashi looked up after he and the clocked figure tied the ninjas to the tree "yo" he said once they where secured kakashi and there friend walked up to the others "good job sakura, sota, sasuke you guys did good protecting the client, naruto I didn't think you would freeze up like that"

Naruto looked down in shame as he clench his fist just as he was about to cry a hand landed on top of his head, shocked naruto looked up to see it was the cloaked figure. He smiled in thanks and they nodded there head.

Kakashi noticed the interaction but didn't do anything about it, "Tazuna, these ninja's where after you weren't they I noticed this when they were attacking and usually missions like this would be classified as B rank not C also naruto was injured and there claws had poison in them" tazuna sighed "your right and I will explain it all if you all are willing to still take this job or not" sakura looked at both adults and had to voice out "um, well you heard kakashi sensie and plus we should probably head back I mean naruto is hurt and " before sakura could finish naruto took his kunai out and stabbed his wound making the poison come out and rendering everyone in shock 0_0.

Naruto glared at everyone while saying "I will not give up on this mission, I will continue on and win that is my ninja way." kakashi's eye widen then he smiled "naruto as much as that speech was moving and all, it was good that you got the poison out but if we don't stop the bleeding you'll die of blood lost" Naruto blinked once then twice while everyone else waited for it

"AAAAHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOO I DON'T WANNA DIE!" naruto yelled while running around waving his arms around,sota sighed then grabbed naruto's injured hand and started to heal it but what he didn't see but others did was that his monk powers where dark blue almost black, kakashi narrowed his eye at it 'differently need to keep an eye on him' he thought while saying "alright since naruto is healed I guess we should head out" Tazuna looked at them in shock and had to ask "your willing to keep on going, even though I lied to you, why?" kakashi looked at him in the eye's and said "well you heard naruto and I know the others want to continue even if they won't say it"

Sota, Sasuke and sakura looked at tazuna and nodded stating they agreed as well with that everyone continued on forgetting there cloaked friend who went to the woods and told there partner to keep following at a distance unless its real danger. With that the cloak figure caught up with the traveling group and continued on.

As the group continued on they meet a man with a boat who was waiting for them they got in and started going across, kakashi looked at Tanzua and said "alright tanzua I think you owe us an explanation" Tanzua sighed and explain how he is a bridge builder and how they were a very poor village once he was done explaining why he was building the bridge Naruto asked "chotto who is this guy that is threatening you and your coworkers" Tanzua sighed and said "Gato he is the one that doesn't want the bridged build"

After he said that team seven looked at sota as he went stiff, sota started to shake form anger and rage as he thought "finally, mamma,grampa I get to avenge you and kill the man who hurt you"

while everyone was looking at sota the hooded figure was about to knock sota out because his aura started turning black and in waves when kakashi cleared his thought saying "well we will know more later right now we need to stay focus alright team" he gave them a closed eye smile but it was enough for sota to stop shaking.

Once they made it to the land they journey onward, naruto was looking around peronioed when the bushes to left rustled, naruto thew a kunai at it. "Naruto what are you doing" yelled sakura "there is something in the bushes I swear" naruto exclaimed, sota rolled his eyes while walking past them to the bushes with his own kitana in his hands just in case, he pulled it to the sighed and blink.

Naruto walked over when sota didn't attacked and wonder why when he saw a bunny cowering in fear, he felt guilty and said " ah man sorry little guy didn't mean to scare you" he picked it up and showed everyone what it was.

Kakashi and the hooded figure stiffen both thinking 'that's a snow bunny it shouldn't be here' sota stiffened as he felt something coming at them fast "duck!" sota yelled while pushing naruto and sakura down to the ground, a sword flew centimeters past there head and hit a tree, they heard a chuckle when a man with his face wrapped in bandages walked out "inpreaseve didn't think any of you was gonna be able to doge my sword" he said while hold the big sword on his shoulder "ah I thought I recognized you, you are known as one of the swordsmen of the mest the one they call a demon Zabuza" kakashi said zabuza looked at kakashi and smirked while saying " and you are kakashi hatake also known as the copy nin for coping a thousand jitsu and owner of the sharingan"

Sasuke looked at kakashi in shocked thinking 'was he in on the uchiha massacre?' all of a sudden fog started to cover them "everyone formation protect the client" kakashi yelled everyone cerculed the builder while kakashi and the hooded figure stood in front of them, zabuza started talking about the major points to instantly kill trying to distract them.

"Don't worry, I won't let my comrades die" kakashi exclaimed then turned to them with a eye closed smile and said " I promise" that seemed to calm them a little, "we'll see about that" zabuza said appearing in the middle of the protected group with his sword drawn but before he could kill the builder the hooded figure appeared with there kitana blocking the attack "oooohhhh what do we have here" Zabuza said,

zabuza grunted in surprise as the hooded figure started to push his sword back, he jumped away but the hooded figure was behind him before he could his footing, 'so fast' everyone thought, the hooded figure kicked zabuza in the middle of his back sending him to the trees, while zabuza was trying to get back up the hooded figure took a fan out and blew all the fog away.

Zabuza glared at the hooded figure and thought 'I don't who it is but I will find out' with that thought zabuza started to attack the hooded figure, everyone else watched in shock and awe as they both seem to blur because of how fast they where going, zabuza was giving his all when he saw the open he needed "let me see your face!" zabuza yelled as his sword made contact with the hood and ripped it.

What everyone saw shocked them there before them was a woman wearing a black leather sleeveless vest with a white spaghetti strap top under neath both stooping above her belle button with what looked like black leather shorts/skirt with a piece of material long in the back, her shoes where knee high black leather boots, she also wore finger open black gloves. (think of final fantasy tifa outfit the black one)

When they looked to a her face naruto, sota, and sasuke all screamed out in shock,

"KAGOME?!"
