Lionheart: Hey everyone, once again thank you for all the reviews. I really appreciate you guys leaving behind a reply of some sort, because it really helps my writing. So without any further delay…The next chapter.
One more thing: Some of you may have noticed I'm slowing down with chapters. It's true since I'm going away from the storyline I'm now writing ten pages of my own dialogue and plot. Just for a quick look into the weekend I should have three chapter up especially since there's a holiday.
The Two Sharingan! Naruto's Big Plan!
Summary: In the Land of waves, Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto, and Kakashi are trying to protect Tazuna, a bridge builder, who represents a sort of hope to his country. Now, they are fighting against Zabuza, an elite jounin, who has been expecting their arrival and is eager to kill them all.
The three Mizu Bunshins of Zabuza slowly closed around Sasuke, who had placed his hands together. "Naruto freeze them." "Right," replied Naruto.
Sasuke quickly did a series of fast hand signs, and then leaped into the air. Behind him, Naruto used the paralyzing technique used by all ANBU. The three Mizu Bunshins froze before they could react, leaving them wide open. The real Zabuza cursed, as his grip on his sword tightened.
"Now, SASUKE!" Sasuke flipped upside down, still airborne shouting, "Katon: Karyu Endan." (Fire Style: Fire dragon flame missile). A huge stream of flame shot from Sasuke's mouth, forming the shape of a dragon. The water clones were hit in a direct hit, unable to do anything. All disappeared in a splash of water, while Sasuke gracefully landed nearby.
The real Zabuza hiding in the water frowned. He was sure three of his clones would have been able to defeat the three Genin, but it was obviously not enough. Grunting he leapt out and flung his sword, at Sasuke, noticing he had gone after his clone who still held Kakashi in the water prison.
"Sasuke, watch out," shouted Naruto who saw Zabuza appear from the water. Sasuke leapt just in time to avoid the toss, but using the Sharingan, he realized Zabuza was right behind him. Zabuza had a kunai up to Sasuke's throat, but a last ditch kick by him saved his life. Instead of having his neck cut wide open, he took a slash to his arm. Zabuza grunted, before disappearing, avoiding Sasuke's bare hand swipe.
Naruto winced as he saw his friend land on the ground, blood freely pouring from his arm. "SASUKE," shouted, Sakura, who was starting to cry. She made to go to him, Naruto grabbed her and held her back, "No, Sakura, stay here." Sakura tried to break free, and for a moment Naruto was tempted to go help, but Sasuke interrupted those thoughts. "No, Naruto, protect Sakura and Tazuna. I'll be okay…trust me okay?" "But…Sasuke." "Brat, if you leave the girl and the bridge builder, Zabuza will go and kill them, better leave it to Sasuke." "Argh, Damnit," thought Naruto.
"Sakura, stop, you'll only just get in Sasuke's way," grunted Naruto. Sakura stopped struggling. "No…Sasuke…" she said, with her head down. Tazuna watched the three Genin in sadness. "This is all my fault, if only I didn't…" "Don't worry, there is no way we're going to let Zabuza kill you," said Naruto. "Actually there's no way, really, the only problem we have is getting Kakashi Sensei out of that trap." Tazuna stared in surprise at Naruto. 'This kid…' he thought.
Meanwhile, Kakashi watched the scene with desperation. "SASUKE, what are you doing? Take Naruto, Sakura, and the bridge builder away. He's using a lot of chakra, so his clone can keep me trapped in here. If you guys run, he'll either go after you or stay here to fight me. Most likely the latter. Right now, your mission…" "SHUTUP, Sensei," shouted Sasuke, angrily. Kakashi froze, surprised at his student's attitude. "We're not going to leave you…" "That's right, Sensei," agreed, Naruto. "We can fight too, we're not going to run away." Kakashi twitched, but he felt touched by their courage.
"Hmm, amusing, but it's not going to save you," interrupted Zabuza. He appeared next to Sasuke, beginning to swing his huge sword. "YOU'RE SENSEI IS AN IDIOT." Zabuza's swing had just about hit Sasuke, when he vanished. He reappeared, behind Zabuza his eyes glowing red. His hand grabbed a hold of Zabuza's neck. "Don't…ever call my sensei an idiot again. Zabuza paused, before chuckling.
"Heh, idiot." Sasuke's eyes shifted to the right, as the Zabuza he was holding turned to water. "DIE, fool." Zabuza swept with his right foot, knocking Sasuke clean off his feet. Sasuke flew into the water and Zabuza took the opportunity to form some hand signs. As Sasuke's head appeared out of the water, Zabuza shouted, "Suiton: Goshokuzame." (Water Style: Five Eating Sharks).
A wall of water rose from the water nearby Sasuke, and formed into five separate sharks. Kakashi gasped as the sharks dove towards Sasuke. "NO, SASUKE!" Sasuke tried to leap out of the water, but considering he was leaping out of water, it was difficult. The sharks crashed into his body, knocking him back several dozen feet. He fell into the water and didn't resurface. Sakura nearly fainted, but Naruto shook her awake.
"Sakura, I have an idea, but you need to help me." Sakura looked up, tears in her eyes as she listened. "Not a bad idea, brat." "I'm a genius, Kyuubi." Kyuubi snorted, "Sure," he replied sarcastically. "Oh, looks like you're okay Sasuke," shouted Naruto, who had seen Sasuke suddenly appear from the woods, unnoticed. He had used a replacement jutsu at the last moment, and was now charging towards Zabuza. He shot a glance at Naruto as he ran.
"I hope whatever plan you were thinking about works, I guess you want me to distract him?" "Nah, I'll tell you really quick."
Meanwhile, Kakashi and Zabuza watched the spot, where they had last seen, Sasuke. 'Please…no,' thought Kakashi. He struggled uselessly to get out of his water prison.
"Pitiful," muttered Zabuza, once he was sure Sasuke wasn't going to resurface. "Now for the other…" Zabuza stopped speaking because he suddenly found himself in the air from a very painful kick to the chin. As he tried to make sense of what just happened he detected a presence behind him. "What are you doing," shouted Zabuza. "Shishi Rendan," (Lion Combo) shouted Sasuke. Sasuke gave Zabuza a powerful kick to his left side, and then a powerful backhand punch. As Zabuza coughed up blood from the first two attacks, Sasuke punched him in the stomach. This sent him back to the ground and then Sasuke dove after him. Just as Zabuza hit the ground, Sasuke finished his combo by driving his heel deep into Zabuza chest, breaking a few ribs. To finish his offense, he used, "Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu."
Sasuke blew out, shooting out a thin line of flame that gradually got bigger. By the time Zabuza was hit, it had turned into a large fireball. While, this was all happening, Naruto told Sasuke his plan. It turned out to be a good one, and right away the two put it in use. Meanwhile, Zabuza rose from the smoke from the fire jutsu, panting. He no longer had the calm look in his eyes. He slowly turned to Sasuke, eyeing him carefully. He then vanished, disappearing to the right.
Sasuke surveyed the area ready for an attack. As he looked the water, he noticed a Genjutsu illusion. Zabuza had camouflaged himself in the water. Deciding offense was the best plan of action, Sasuke drew ten shuriken and flung them in Zabuza's direction. The elite jounin leapt out and threw five kunai in exchange. Easily dodging the technique, Sasuke taunted, "C'mon, you hide better than that." Zabuza growled in response. 'Damn, Sharingan, he must have complete mastery over it.'
"That's it, playtime's over. Kirigakure no Jutsu." As the mist once again covered the battlefield, Sasuke smiled. The plan would go some much more smoothly now. He looked around, using his Sharingan. He found what he was looking for and used Shunshin no jutsu.
Out on the water, Kakashi couldn't help but feel frightened. Even with his Sharingan, he couldn't see what exactly was going on through the mist. He got even more worried when he heard a feminine scream. 'Sakura?' Even more desperate to get out, Kakashi decided he would have to try Rasengan to blast his way out. Just as he was about to do the technique, he saw a figure flying towards him. It was Zabuza. Zabuza landed on the water, skidding along, obviously having been on the receiving blow of some sort.
Another image flew out of the mist after him. It was Sasuke, who was forming hand signs that looked vaguely familiar. Kakashi suddenly remembered their origins. It was the same jutsu Zabuza had used earlier. 'He must have copied it with Sharingan,' thought Kakashi, with a smug grin. 'He's able to copy jutsu just as effectively as I can and he's already appeared to have mastered the Sharingan.'
"Suiton: Goshokuzame no Jutsu." As when Zabuza did the technique, five sharks erupted from the water. In Zabuza's apparent surprise, he could not move and got devoured.
Sasuke frowned, as the sharks blew apart, turning back to water. Zabuza appeared in the middle of the water, dripping wet. "…I see," he began, panting. "Just like Kakashi you are skilled with the Sharingan. You decide just to copy all of my techniques, instead of using your own. But like I told the jounin…your technique is just a cheap imitation of mine, you'll never be at my level." "Hmph, done talking? You're pathetic," taunted Sasuke.
"Well, I must say you are proving to be a much bigger challenge than I thought you would be." Zabuza leapt up and landed nearby a tree, where his sword lay. Picking it up, he pointed it at Sasuke. "But I will kill you." Sasuke shrugged as he noticed a figure dash out onto the lake. "Whatever, but tell me this, aren't you forgetting about something? You know all this talk about killing me, but…" Zabuza threw a kunai right at Sasuke, which he blocked. "Too slow," he said, while using Zabuza's skilled technique. Zabuza grunted as he felt a kunai on his throat. "You…copycat," muttered Zabuza, as Sasuke pushed the kunai on his neck more.
"Now, Naruto." Naruto burst from the mist, and used Shunshin no Jutsu to get behind the clone. Kakashi turned in surprise, 'Naruto?' "I'm getting you out, sensei," shouted Naruto, who drew a kunai. "WATCH OUT, BEHIND YOU," shouted Kakashi. Warning bells shot off in Naruto's head. He suddenly came up with a brilliant idea.
A Zabuza had materialized from the water, while the one Sasuke held turned to water. Sasuke groaned, "Kyuubi, this one is a bunshin too." "I know, brat, I'm trying to find the right one, but you know…it's hard considering I gave up almost all my spare energy. Naruto has it now, make him do the work." "I think the real one is the one holding the cage," came Naruto's reply. The Zabuza on the lake appeared behind Naruto, who turned just in time to see his huge sword swing at him. Naruto turned into a log and fell into the water. "Replacement jutsu?"
Zabuza swiped his sword, as Sasuke lunged at him. Sasuke blocked with a kunai, and then swiped at Zabuza with his bare hand, while at the same time throwing a roundhouse kick. Zabuza blocked both and leapt back away from the water prison, containing Kakashi. He placed his hands together, and Sasuke seeing an opportunity did the same. Unfortunately, Zabuza didn't do any other hand signs and instead turned to water. Sasuke was startled, unable to turn to water. He was suddenly hit from behind and cut through the stomach by Zabuza's sword.
Sasuke disappeared in a poof of smoke, while Zabuza's face sank. 'A Kage Bunshin, Damnit.' Zabuza turned back around towards his clone on the lake. Kakashi remained trapped inside the prison looking as grim as ever.
Zabuza turned back around, noticing his target; the bridge builder was open with the girl. He knew it was obviously a trap, but decided he might as well find out what kind of trap it was. He expertly vanished into the water, creating a Mizu Bunshin. He sent it out and made it attack the bridge builder. As he had expected, his Mizu Bunshin triggered an explosive tag, causing a mini explosion.
The strange thing was, when the smoke cleared Tazuna wasn't there. In his place were four logs. Zabuza frowned, beginning to feel frustrated. 'Those little brats have a lot of chakra. Damnit, Haku was right, there's no way I'm going to be able to beat them, unless I use strategy.'
Zabuza surveyed the area, thinking of a plan. He knew he was getting fatigued quickly and would need to end the fight soon. As his eyes rested on Kakashi, a plan began to hatch in his mind. "Heh, this will be entertaining," he muttered. He began muttered some words very quickly and it seemed to do nothing but ripple the water a bit.
He heard something whirling through the air and turned, seeing a big shuriken flying his way. He recognized what was going on immediately. He remembered Haku warn him of their idea to free Kakashi from the water prison. He grinned, getting cockier. "Ha, this shuriken can't touch me." He easily caught in, twirling it in his hands. As expected, a second one, which was hidden in the shadow of the first, appeared. Expecting it to be Naruto, Zabuza charged at it, slashing with his sword. The shuriken disappearing with a 'poof.' Zabuza frowned, realizing he had been tricked. "WHAT!" Zabuza leapt up just as Sasuke shouted, "Suiton: Goshokuzame no Jutsu."
Zabuza landed on land away from the water, breathing hard. The sharks had nearly gotten him and if they did he would have definitely have been a goner. He was still feeling the first two attacks.
Laughter came from underneath him. Zabuza looked down as Naruto yelled, "Doton: Zingshu Zanshu no jutsu." Zabuza felt himself get pulled underground and then found himself stuck with only his head above ground. Sasuke and Naruto stood in front of him, laughing, "Gotcha, Zabuza," they yelled.
Meanwhile, a figure dashed out of the bushes. It was Sakura. Zabuza growled in annoyance, as he watched his Mizu Bunshin get destroyed. His mind began racing to figure out how they had managed to trap him. Naruto noticed him and said, "Don't bother trying to figure out our plan, it's too complicated." Zabuza growled in response.
'SPLASH'
Naruto grinned as the water barrier crashed down and Kakashi stepped out. The silver haired jounin walked over to his students, who all smiled back. "I'm very proud of all of you. You were able to work together to defeat an elite Jounin. Good job. I was especially pleased with you, Sakura, you made the final attack that freed me, while Naruto and Sasuke expertly fought with Zabuza." Sakura grinned, "Sensei, it was all Naruto's idea, he came up with a plan so that he and Sasuke did…" Naruto suddenly clamped a hand over Sakura's mouth and leapt back, away from Kakashi. Sasuke lifted Tazuna up, realizing Naruto had detected something wrong.
Kakashi simply walked closer to them, while Sasuke and Naruto blocked the front. "What are you doing?" "Sasuke, it's not Kakashi." "Are you sure?" "Yes, I can detect Zabuza's presence even from in your heads, brat," added Kyuubi.
"You're not Kakashi," said Naruto, simply. "Naruto," yelled Sakura. "Look, I know Zabuza has tricked you guys over and over again, but this is Kakashi sensei…" Naruto gave her a cold glare that shut her up. "It's not Kakashi, we know it's you Zabuza." Kakashi shook his head, "Naruto, Zabuza is right there," he said pointing at Zabuza, who watched them coldly. Naruto looked at the Zabuza on the ground and used his 'Fox Eye.' As expected, he saw that the Zabuza was part of a mere simple Genjutsu. It had been expertly set up, which meant the real Zabuza was somewhere in hiding, with the real Kakashi.
"I don't see anything there, except for a simple Genjutsu illusion. Dispel," said Naruto loudly. As Kakashi frowned, a white mist passed from the others' eyes and they now saw for themselves that there had been no Zabuza in the ground all along. "AHH," yelled Sakura, as she jumped back. Tazuna ran over behind a tree, while Sasuke and Naruto faced off against Kakashi, who said, "Very astute of you…Somehow you saw through the illusion with those…those eyes of yours. But…I have what I came here to get." Kakashi turned into water and disappeared, while Sasuke and Naruto simultaneously turned around.
Right behind them, Zabuza was just about making an upward cut on Tazuna. Naruto knew his attack would not be in time to stop it, but he spotted one of his kunai lying nearby. With a last desperate attempt he used, Hiraishin no Jutsu, (Flying Thunder God) the technique in which he was famous for being 'The Orange Blur of Konoha,' back in the future. It was technique he learned from Jiriaya, one of the techniques unique to fourth, Jiriaya, and himself. It involved putting a special formula into a kunai or an object or using a special jutsu. Then, the user could teleport to that object at immense speeds, greater than Shunshin no jutsu.
Naruto used this technique and stabbed Zabuza through the chest, while taking the blow that had been meant for Tazuna. Both ninja stumbled backwards, but Zabuza was replaced by water, which soon disappeared. Naruto, on the other hand, coughed up blood, and fell towards the ground. His wounds included a huge slash on his right side that went from right hip, across his stomach to the left shoulder. His breath was slow and heavy, and everyone knew it was a wonder he wasn't dead.
Tazuna stood back in fright; half terrified, and half incredulous that Naruto has just saved his life. Sakura's eyes widened, as she saw Naruto lying on the ground. "N-naruto…" Before she walked into a kunai, Sasuke pulled her back.
His eyes burned with hatred as he stared at Zabuza, who clutched his chest wound. He panted with breath and made to swing his sword once more, but three things happened. First, Kakashi had appeared and grabbed his arm. Second, Sasuke had used Shunshin and gave Zabuza a hard uppercut to the chin. And lastly, astounding even Naruto, Sakura had leapt into action, giving Zabuza a hard slap across the face.
For a moment, there was an awkward silence, as everyone stared at her. "How…how could you?" Her breath was heavy and when she looked up, everyone could see she was furious. "CHA! HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO NARUTO!"
Zabuza smiled. "Heh, foolish little girl." He kicked upwards, knocking the three Konoha Shinobi back. "Sasuke, protect Tazuna," said Kakashi, whose voice had changed dramatically. Sasuke leapt back and began tending to Naruto's injuries. He had no idea how to use medical jutsu, and Sakura didn't either, so he could do nothing, but try to stop the bleeding.
Meanwhile, Kakashi and Zabuza faced off. "So, Kakashi, you managed to get out eh? Looks like I played around so much, that I forgot about keeping you imprisoned." "No…"said Kakashi, "You were forced to drop your attention from me when Naruto and Sasuke fought you. Together those two are more powerful than you will ever be." Zabuza snarled, "So, Kakashi, what are you going to do? Why don't you tell me what's going on in that head of yours."
Kakashi remained silent, so Zabuza leapt into the water. To his surprise his exact movements were imitated. Snarling again, he placed his hands together and began to rapidly form hand signs over and over again. Furthermore, to his frustration, Kakashi began to perfectly copy those movements as well, chanting and placing signs at the exact moment Zabuza did.
From the side, Sasuke stood up. Naruto's wounds were beginning to recover, due to the fact Kyuubi was using up his life chakra supply. "Brat, I swear if this ever happens again…" he started, leaving the threat unfinished. Naruto forced a laugh, that prompted Sakura and Sasuke to steady him. "Thanks, Sasuke, Kyuubi. Heh, I didn't think Zabuza would get that strong even if Haku told him about us. Guess it shows just how strong he was at the beginning." "Heh, Dobe (Loser). Only you could get hit by Zabuza."
While Kyuubi laughed, Naruto jumped up ready to throw a punch, but his chest seared with pain and he fell down again. "NARUTO, what do you think you're doing," shouted Sakura, while Sasuke snickered. Naruto grunted and turned to watch Kakashi. He smiled, seeing his sensei expertly copy Zabuza's hand signs. "Yo, Sasuke," said Kyuubi, "You copying those signs too?" "No, my chakra energy is running low, so I can't use Sharingan. Besides, I already know how to do that technique." Kyuubi laughed, while Naruto groaned in jealously. Sasuke always was one step ahead.
Meanwhile, the two jounin both shouted simultaneously, "Suiton: Suiryudan no jutsu." (Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet). From the water, two dragons erupted and twirled around each other, before rapidly colliding into each other. The dragons' crash sent a spray of water down on the two jounin as they simultaneously attacked each other. They both then jumped back at the same time.
Zabuza was about to make a move, when he noticed Kakashi's body position. His arm position. His legs. They were all identical to the position he was in. 'What? Something's not right.' Zabuza gently stepped to the right. Kakashi did the same. Zabuza gasped slightly, 'How is he doing that? The Suiryudan is my technique, yet he copied it to every detail, finishing at the exact moment as me. Haku never told me about these qualities of the Sharingan.'
Zabuza took off running to the left at the exact moment Kakashi did, though he ran to his right, Zabuza's left. Zabuza stopped suddenly and began making rapid hand signs. To his frustration, Kakashi once again copied them. Zabuza made to do his hand signs faster, but he noticed angrily that Kakashi easily adjusted to the speed. As he got to the land hand sign he stopped. He saw an image of himself staring right back at him, next to Kakashi. 'What the? It's me. How can this be?'
Kakashi suddenly did the last hand sign, without Zabuza, shouting, "Suiton: Daibakufu no jutsu." Zabuza's eyes widened. "WHAT?!" He couldn't make a fast reaction, as the wave hit him, twisting his body around and around. He was finally was slammed into a tree and slowly the water died down. Zabuza panted and and as he tried to stand up, using the tree for support, five kunai hit him near the chest area.
Kakashi stood next to Zabuza, who slowly looked up. For the first time he had fear in his eyes. "Can you see the future?" Kakashi didn't answer at first, and instead put a kunai on Zabuza's neck. "Your future…is death."
Zabuza gasped, as Kakashi lifted his kunai. Before he could strike, he detected a set of senbon (needles) heading in his direction. Using Shunshin, he teleported to a branch, where he saw Zabuza get hit in the neck. Frowning slightly, he ignored the attacker and checked Zabuza's pulse. There was none.
Meanwhile, Tazuna, Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto (Whom was being carried by Sasuke) came over. "Sensei," shouted Sakura. Kakashi nodded to them, as if to notice their presence and then turned to a ninja who stood on a branch close by. Sasuke and Naruto recognized the masked ninja immediately. 'Haku,' they both thought. The ninja glanced at Sasuke and Naruto, before jumping down.
"Thank you, Copy-Cat Ninja." Kakashi surveyed the new person. "From your clothes, I can assume your are a hunter-ninja from hidden mist?" Haku nodded, "Yes, I am a hunter ninja from the Hidden Village of Mists. For long, we have been tracking and attempting to kill Zabuza, and, although I had hoped to do it myself, I am glad it is done. Thank you." Haku approached the body of Zabuza, and passed Sasuke and Naruto along the way.
"You…," he whispered, so none of the others could hear. "Sasuke, he talked to us. So, Kyuubi was right, he remembers us." Sasuke frowned slightly. "Yeah, and he doesn't look too happy to see us either. He must have been watching the fight the whole time." "Yes, brats, so, that means you'll have to train extra hard. Try and re-master your special techniques, and also exchange jutsus you may have missed. You can never know too many jutsus."
Sasuke and Naruto nodded, but their main attention was focused on Haku, who picked up Zabuza's body. He bowed before making a hand sign. "Good-bye," he said, before disappearing. Kakashi sighed, "Well…alright let's go to…" Kakashi froze and fell. Sasuke caught him and then hoisted him onto his other shoulder.
"It's his Sharingan, it takes a lot of chakra," explained Naruto, before Sakura opened her mouth. Sakura nodded, while Tazuna grumbled on about them being in a bad position, because ½ was unable to fight. And ½ of the remaining didn't do anything. This particular earned him a glare from Sakura, while the others laughed.
They then began walking towards Tazuna's house.

Lionheart: OMG I retyped this chapter 15 times…FIFTEEN. For crying out loud because after I read it and reread it kept not making sense. I hope its correct now and you all make sense of it.
