Several days into the trip Nobara scowled at anything and everything, her nose and eyes almost stinging from the pungent scent of Tazuna's alcohol. He apparently liked alcohol that could substitute for paint thinner, the cheapest hard alcohol money could buy. She literally couldn't smell anything else over the stink. She and Kiiromaru roamed the farthest distance they could from the old man, constantly circling the traveling group. The smell was practically assualting her senses.
Sneezing, Nobara's scowl sharpened as she tossed a venomous scowl back over her shoulder. Naruto and Sasuke were happily plodding away next to the old man, neither one bothered at all by the open bottle the bastard was literally guzzling. Kakashi strolled casually behind them, reading his filthy little book like he hadn't a care in the world. Like one of his students wasn't being beamed over the head metaphorically by the miasma pouring from their customer.
Walking maybe fifty feet out in front of the others, Nobara glared. The sun was shining hotly, there was a light breeze blowing through the area and the damn birds were even chirping. If it wasn't for that fucking smell, like she'd snorted rubbing alcohol, it would be a wonderful day.
"If this keeps up, I'm gonna kill the fat old bastard." Nobara muttered down to her ninken aggressively.
"If this keeps up, you'll have to fight me for the pleasure." The wolf murmured back, his hair bristled along his back. He wasn't enjoying their trip any more than she was.
Not only was the smell horrible but she was pretty sure they were being followed by multiple people who she was sure must be ninja. But she couldn't get a decent scent on them with the putrid smell of Tazuna's alcohol. She'd only scented the tabacco one of them must chew, and that only when she patroled the perimeter of their daily campsite. Obviously she'd told Kakashi but the jounin had only narrowed his eyes and nodded. He hadn't done anything yet but Nobara was sure the jounin was trying to draw them out. See if they attacked Tazuna or were just after Konoha shinobi.
Stepping around a puddle Nobara sneezed and shook her head. Then paused as a distinct smell broke through the alcohol scent. Tabbacco. Tensing Nobara turned just as the puddle erupted, two ninja leaping into the air, a thick chain spread tight between them.
"Nobara!" Kakashi called sharply, but he would never get there in time. His voice did manage to jump start her brain however.
Hands performing seals quickly Nobara jumped into her most practiced jutsu, knowing it was the only thing she could do before the chain closed in around her. Everything else would simply be too slow.
"Tsuga!" She erupted into motion, going from stationary to a human hurricane in a matter of moments. Spinning rabidly, Nobara shot forward, hitting the chain and dragging the two ninja helplessly behind her. Turned the way she was she dragged the shocked enemy right towards her team. The force of her jutsu, which was strong enough to break through walls on an average basis, was easily powerful enough to drive them the 50 ft to her team.
Coming out of her spin, gribbing the chain in her palm, she used hastily applied chakra to whip one enemy ninja towards Sasuke, who was already in motion. He landed heavily on the ninja's hand and sent a knee smashing into the enemies temple, rendering the man unconscious before he was even to his feet.
The second ninja, still attached to the other end of the chain, landed with a smash a few feet away from her blonde teammate. Naruto however was frozen, watching as the ninja practically landed at his feet. The shaggy haired ninja exploded to his feet, releasing the glove attached to the chain as he went. With a snarl he leapt forward, slashing at Naruto. The blonde yelped, jumping aside, clutching his arm and the enemy ninja kept going, straight at Tazuna.
And then the fight was over, just as simple as that, as Kakashi appeared between them. He sent the ninja flying with a single blow, the ninja hitting a tree and sliding down the trunk, unconscious.
"Quick thinking Nobara, good job." Kakashi told the kunoichi, giving her a nod. "Good teamwork."
"Took you long enough, bastard!" Nobara growled ignoring his praise, and leaning over her palms. Kiiromaru appeared at her side, a growl alost silent in his chest. The wolfs hair was bristled up, making him seem even larger. The ninken's nose nudged her side, his gold eyes checking her over carefully.
"Sorry, Naruto, I didn't think you'd freeze up like that." Kakashi drawled, glancing over the blonde. "I had to see if he was going after Tazuna or whether this was ninja against ninja." As he said this he turned to Tazuna, gaze expectant.
Nobara grimaced as Tazuna spilled a sob story, even managing to produce a few fat tears as he blabbed about his poor grandson. But it seemed to be doing its purpose. Naruto's face was between saddened and determined and even Sasuke looked like he was moved by the story. The Inuzuka, while sypathetic could really give a crap. Tazuna was a liar and liars never changed. They lied to get what they wanted, no matter the cost. In this instance it could very well have been their lives.
Ignoring her stinging palms and Tazuna's words Nobara went about tieing up the ninja Kakashi had taken care of. Sasuke had already taken care of the first ninja. Feeling slightly sadistic Nobara used a length of heavy ninja wire to tie up the unconscious enemy. If he struggled the sharpened wire was capable of ripping straight through his clothing.
"Be that as it may….." Kakashi said casually. "This really exceeds our mission parameters. By protocol we shoud return to Konoha and be replaced with a chuunin or jounin team."
"No way!" Naruto shouted, releasing his cut arm. The cut was minor, not deep at all."We can't just quit now, Tazuna and his family are depending on us! What kinda ninja are you?" Sasuke nodded after a moment in agreement.
"Nobara?" Kakashi asked quietly, turning to the Inuzuka. "You're the one that was injured for his lie, it's your decision."
"Injured?" Naruto echoed, finally turning to the kunoichi. Surprise was all over his face.
"Tch, this asshole is a liar, I can't stand liars." Nobara muttered, flexing her palms. As she spoke she pulled a roll of bandages from her pack and wrapped the wounds. She'd take care of them when she stopped for the night. "If he lied about the mission then what else did he lie about?"
"Come one, Nobara, we can do this!" Naruto shouted positively. "If anything happens Sasuke and me will protect you with our lives!"
Sasuke grunted, disconcerted by the amount of blood soaking the kunoichi's bandages. The wounds had to be deep. "She wasn't the one that needed protecting, scaredy cat."
The blonde flushed an angry red. "I won't freeze again! I promise!"
Nobara grimaced, knowing if she refused to go farther that Naruto would never leave her alone about it. Glancing down at Kiiromaru she found the wolf watching her, agreement in his eyes. "Fine, we'll continue."
"Yeah! I knew you would agree!" Naruto cheered loudly.
"On one condition!" Nobara cut in, turning to Tazuna with melevolent eyes. The old man leaned back, somewhat frightened as the kunoichi stalked up to him. "This!" She yanked the bottle of alcohol out of his clutching arms and shook it under his nose. "This almost got me killed! An Inuzuka isn't anything without their nose! I couldn't even smell them because of THIS!" With that she drew back her arm and chucked the bottle as hard as she could into the woods.
As Tazuna gaped at her Kakashi placed a hand on her arm. "Lets get going then. I'll send a message and these two will be picked up for questioning."
Nobara scowled at the old man for another long second before spinning on her heel and taking point again. Kiiromaru stayed glued to her side. Sasuke gave her a nod and Naruto simply looked sheepish as she passed the both of them. They continued down the road, moving back into formation as they went. The silence was somewhat strained and only Kakashi seemed at ease with the situation.
"Soooooo…" Naruto finally broke the silence several minutes later, voice awkward. "What was that super cool hurricane move you did back there?!" His voice shifted quickly to full blown excitement. "It was awesome! I wanna do it!"
The brunette laughed, looking over her shoulder, her irritation broken. Naruto looked like he would die from curiosity and even Sasuke looked interested. "It's an Inuzuka thing, Naruto. That move was Passing Fang. I guess I've never got the chance to show you my clan jutsus. Most clans don't like you to use your clan techniques at the academy."
He deflated for only a moment. "It was super cool! You were going really fast!" He made a swooshing sound and an arm movement like a five year old might. "One second you were far away and then the next second you were right there!"
She grinned, sharing an amused glance with Kiiromaru. If he thought that was amazing, she would love to see his reaction to some of her other techniques. "I don't normally do that move." She told him. "I usually do it with Kiiromaru, which is called Fang Passing Fang, Passing Fang is much slower and less powerful but it gets the job done in an emergency. But we really shouldn't talk about clan techniques outside the village." She warned.
"So, who were those guys then?" Naruto asked, since he couldn't continue on about her 'awesome' jutsu. This was aimed at Kakashi.
"Don't you guys ever read a Bingo Book?" The Inuzuka asked, glancing over her shoulder. Her sense of smell was finally beginning to clear now that Tazuna's alcohol scent was fading.
"You can pick up a free copy at the mission office." Kiiromaru told them.
"That was Gozu and Meizu, two brothers from Kirigakure. Chuunin rank missing nin." Nobara said, with a little pride in her voice. They'd just nailed two chuunin with no problem!
"Hn." Sasuke grunted in satisfaction, nodding his head.
"Don't get cocky." Kakashi warned in a relaxed drawl. "Gozu and Meizu are small potatoes. Whoever sent them will send stronger opponents next time." Despite his relaxed tone his words sent a chill down Nobara's spine.

When Nobara threw herself to the ground, a giant sword passing over head, Kakashi's words flashed through her mind. A much stronger opponent. Glancing up at the cleaver, a shudder went down her spine as she recognized the man standed on the sword. Momochi Zabuza. The Demon in the Mist. Renowned for his silent killing technique.
As everyone came to their feet the missing nin chuckled, the sound menacing and disconcerting in its lightness ass at the same time. Nobara clenched her fist into Kiiromaru's fur, feeling the golden strands bristle under her hand. The missing nin was a large man, with broad intimidating shoulders and his eyes, dark and dead, were nearly glowing with intent.
"Well, well, Momochi Zabuza, Demon of the Mist." Kakashi greeted almost airily. He didn't look concerned in the least but Nobara knew better. She could smell the tension in his scent.
Scowling Nobara gestured to Naruto and Sasuke, breaking them from their staring. As one the team slid into position around Tazuna. Their job was to protect Tazuna, not jump into fights they weren't equip for. Naruto looked eager, completely ignoring the tension, but Sasuke was shaking lightly, clenching his fist around his kunai tightly. The kunoichi wanted to reassure him but didn't want to speak and draw attention to them. Momochi was focused on Kakashi and that was the way it should stay. They were no match for him.
"Ah, Kakashi of the Sharingan." Momochi's voice was dark and gravely, just as intimidating as his covered face and relaxed stance. "I'm going to havve to ask you to hand over the old man."
"I really can't do that." Kakashi replied with a shrug. "Team, don't interfere. This guy is out of your league." Which confirmed Nobara's thoughts on the subject.
The three genin watched, almost enthralled, as Kakashi lifted his head band, revealed the scar and the red glowing eyes beneath. They'd never seen Kakashi use it, but they'd all known it was there. The fact that he thought he needed it even before the fight started sent a chill of fright down the genin's spine, even the rambunctious blonde.
"Hmm, the Sharingan." Momochi tilted his head, looking intrigued. "I guess this is going to be a fight to remember. You know, in Kiri we had a standing order to destroy you on sight, Copy Ninja. The man to copy over a thousand jutsu."
"You say that like you can actually beat me." Kakashi drawled just as casually.
"Enough talking." Momochi flicked a hand impatiently. "I'll just have to go through you and your cute little genin to kill the old man."
"It won't be easy for you." The silver haired jounin said, shrugging. With that the missing nin sneered before leaping away.
"He's over there!" Naruto pointed out over the water just as a wave of fog rolled in around them.
"He'll come after me first." Kakashi told them grimly. "Don't let your guard down for a moment." Then he gave a little huff. "If we don't succeed then we'll only lose our lives." With that Kakashi leaped out into the fog, leaving the genin on what seemed like an island in the center of the mist.
"The mist just keeps getting thicker and thicker!" Naruto muttered.
"Shit." Nobara snarled, closing her eyes in a technique the Inuzuka used to enhance they're sense of hearing and scent. She could smell Kakashi and his reassuring scent of dogs and lightning, but Momochi used some kind of inhibiting jutsu. Kiiromaru pressed close, letting his presence reasure her.
"I can't see anything!" Naruto cried, louder than Nobara would have preferred.
"Quite!" Nobara hissed, cutting him a sharp glance. "It's a jutsu, the Hiding in the Mist technique." She told him, mainly to shut him up.
"Who is that?" Naruto asked, not deterred in the least.
Exhaling in annoyance Nobara answered in a whisper. "Momochi Zabuza, a missing nin from Kirikagure. He attempted to assasinate the Mizukage and managed to escape. He's a master of the Silent Killing Technique."
"So, he's strong?" Sasuke asked, dark eyes glaring into the mist.
Nobara nodded grimly. "Very. He's an Anbu level shinobi."
Then Zabuza began talking. "Eight points." He said slowly, menace and intent in every one of his words. "Larynx, spine, lungs, liver, sub clavian artery, kidneys and heart. "Which one? Which one?"
Scowling fiercing, one fang showing, Nobara fought off her fear. These were just intimidation tactics, that's all.
Then Zabuza released a wave a killing intent that nearly drove the Inuzuka to her knees. Gasping Nobara's eyes shot open, staring off into nothing. It was suffocating, her breath coming in harsh and gasping. Oh god! Zabuza was going to kill them! They didn't stand any chance! Once Kakashi fell they would be dead meat. They needed to run. Run!
Even as her trembling legs tensed to run Kiiromaru nipped her side, startling the Inuzuka out of her trance. Letting out a breath, sweat spotting her brow, Nobara glanced down at her ninken and gave him a nod. Her determination hardened and her mouth flattened into a grim line. This bastard wasn't scaring her away!
"Sasuke!" Kakashi's voice came out of the mist, warm and reasuring. "Calm down, I'll protect all of you with my life." He told them and suddenly the killing intent just didn't seem that bad. "I won't allow my comrades to die. Trust me."
"I wouldn't be so sure of that." Zabuza drawled. "It's over."
Nobara's only warning was the faint tap of his sandals, which she wouldn't have caught if it wasn't for her heightened Inuzuka hearing. Again she acted without thinking. There was only one thing that was fast enough to get between Tazuna and Zubaza. This time Kiiromaru was moving with her in sync.
"Tsuga!" Nobara shot forward, hitting Zabuza even as he appeared before Tazuna. Kiiromaru was right behind her, snapping the soldier pill hidden in his mouth, fur turning bright yellow and shaggy and his muscles bulging. As Nobara drilled into the man Kiiromaru bit down on his ankle, jerking the man down into Nobara's attack. The clone burst, sending water cascading over the snarling ninken and wetting Nobara's dress.
Dropping back to the ground Nobara snarled, Inuzuka instincts raging. Not only did the Inuzuka get the enhanced speed of an animal but they had the instincts of an animal as well. Which could be a downfall just as much as it could be a saving grace.
"Quick work, Nobara." Kakashi said, just a few feet away. If she hadn't intercepted than Kakashi would have. "Hmm, I think this mist needs to go." With that and a quick spurt of hand seals he swept away the fog.
"Cha, your baby genin is fast…for a genin." Zabuza chuckled from the what remained of the fog.
Kakashi turned to look at his genin team. "Stay alert. This is only just begining." And then he was gone again, clashing sharply with Zabuza, who'd made another attack. Only to dissolve into a splash of water.
"Behind you." Kakashi murmured, holding a kunai to Zabuza's throat.
"Ha, so you copied my water clone." Then he grinned. "Pretty good."
"Don't move." Kakashi warned harshly. "This is the end."
"All right!" Naruto cheered, thrusting a fist into the air.
Zubuza began to laugh, freezing the three genin in their spots. "You think it's finished? You're nothing but a cheap immitation. I could never be defeated by a mere copy cat ninja." He laughed again. "You are full of surprises though. You'd already copied my water clone jutsu before you made your little speech. Very skillfully executed, having your clone say those words instead. All the while you hid, waiting. Nice try, but I'm not that easy to fool." With that he burst into water.
"A clone?" Naruto exclaimed just in time for Zabuza to appear behind Kakashi again.
Nobara watched, startled, as Zabuza kicked her teacher across the water. It ended quickly after that. A brief flurry of taijutsu, brutal and efficient and the Kakashi was trapped, sucked into the water. Zabuza stood with one hand in the orb prison, laughing.
"This may look like just water but its stronger than steel." He said to them all. "Can't fight if you can't move. Ha, and I thought you would be a challenge!" He turned to look at the three genin and laughed darkly. "I'll just finish you off later. You can watch me take care of your comrades."
Gritting her teeth, Nobara watched Zabuza create a water clone. While she may have bested one before, that was only because he hadn't expected her speed. Now he was focused solely on the three of them. She clenched her fist in Kiiromaru's still bright yellow spiked fur and waited.
"You think jus wearing a head band makes you a ninja?" Zabuza asked casually as the water clone rose to life on the waters surface. "When you've been on the edge of life adn death so many times that it doesn't faze you anymore then maybe you can be called a ninja. When you get a page in my bingo book, then you may be a ninja, but to call you upstarts ninja is a joke!" The mist began to thicken again as he used another jutsu.
Naruto suddenly went flying, Zabuza's clone having given him a brutal kick, flinging his head band in the other direction. The missing nin put his foot down on the band, grinding it into the dirt callously.
"Listen to me!" Kakashi called, voice urgent. "Grab the bridge builder and run! You can't win this fight. He's using all his power to keep me here, so he can only fight you with his water clone, but his clone can't go far from his real body. Now run!"
"Run away?" Sasuke gritted, teeth clenched. "That became unthinkable the moment that you got captured."
"In a group we can't out run him." Nobara added grimly, sliding into a defense stance, Kiiromaru a step away, a growl forming in his chest. "He'd find us and wipe us out."
Sasuke attacked, charging forward with a yell, only to be flung almost casually aside as the jounin stepped closer to Naruto. The blonde was frozen on the ground, staring up at the masked man in terror. Flashing her fangs Nobara glanced back at Tazuna, knowing she couldn't leave the bridge builder alone to defend Naruto. But she didn't have to.
Naruto gathered his courage and attacked, sending a mass of clones to dog pile the clone. Watching with her breath almost held, Nobara really wasn't surprised when the clones were all flung off and the clone remained unharmed. But of course that hadn't been what Naruto was after. The blonde laughed, a little scuffed but unharmed as he came back to her side.
Tying his headband back over his forehead, Naruto glared at the missing nin. "Iruka-sensei gave me this head band and he believed I was good enough to be a ninja. That's all I need and I don't need scum like you telling me otherwise!"
Kakashi thrashed in the water prison, growling at them. "Get out of here! You can't beat him!"
"Distance isn't any safety." Nobara replied tossing her braid over her shoulder and crouching into the famous Four Legs Technique stance the Inuzuka were famous for.
"We're not leaving." Sasuke grunted, frowning at the whole situation
"We're ninja!" Naruto added. "We don't run away. Those that leave their friends behind are trash, remember sensei?"
"You're mission is to protect the bridge builder!" Kakashi said harshly, glaring. "Think about his life!"
Naruto turned his eyes to the old man. "Old man?" He asked, eyes pleading.
Tazuna straightened and earned the first grain of respect from Nobara. "I got you into this mess, you do what you need to do." He told the genin firmly. He really was made of pretty strong stuff, defying Gatou and now risking his own life.
"Alright." The corner of Sasuke's mouth tilted up and his eyes were full of anticipation. "Naruto?"
"Lets do this!" The blonde cheered. "Sasuke, lets go wild! Nobara….you stay with Tazuna." He looked over his shoulder as he said this and winked out of sight of the clone. And just like that Nobara knew what she had to do.
"You just don't get it! You've already lost and here you are still pretending to be ninja! It would be cute if it wasn't so sickening!" Zabuza spat venomously.
Nobara listened in horror and more than a little impatience as the two jounin suddenly jumped into a history lesson. She of course already knew all of this. It was stated clearly on his bingo book page. As she listened she decided she was going to buy Naruto and Sasuke a bingo book when they got back home. Then they could haev avoided this sadistic little bout of chit chat. She could only think that Kakashi was trying to buy them time by participating in the conversation. Momochi Zabuza was truly a sick sick man.
And then just as suddenly as everything else had been in this fight, Naruto and Sasuke were attacking, moving perfectly in sync even though they'd never done this together before. It was almost a thing of beauty how well they worked together under pressure. Sliding back a few feet closer to Tazuna, the brunette waited for the perfect moment.
"Aren't you going to join your friends?" Tazuna whispered at her, fear tightening his voice. He knew very well what would happen if Zabuza got through the genin.
Nobara didn't answer out loud, only sent a wildly sharp grin over her shoulder at the bridge builder. The expression made him draw back in confusion. Her appearance was slightly more feral than normal, fingers hooked into claws and sharp canine teeth bared. Kiiromaru was at her side, patiently waiting with her, still under the effects of the soldier pill. All they had to do now was wait for just the right moment. And with Naruto, who so very good at distraction, it came sooner rather than later.
"Now, Kiiromaru!" She commanded, flashing through several hand seals. Kiiromaru dissapeared in a flash, replaced with a replica of Nobara, who immediately began to perform hand seals in sync with the real Nobara.
"Gatsuga!" In sync the partners shot into motion, using their most effective jutsu. Granted Zabuza had seen a likeness of the move but not with the two of them together. Now they moved even faster, shooting forward like a cyclone, raining debris in their wake as they spun across the clearing. The pair tore across the water, going so fast they skidded across the surface of the water instead of sinking, heading straight for the missing nin. Zabuza's eyes widened, watching the spinning typhoon head towards him, water exploding as the the pair got closer.
The water clone burst under Sasuke's kunai just as Kakashi exploded out of the water prison like a demon. Spinning to a stop, Nobara sank into the water now that her momentum was gone. Kakashi gripped the collar of her dress and towed her to the surface even as she was sinking.
"Thanks for the hand, kids, good work." Kakashi told all of them, eyes focusing on Zabuza, who stood across the water. "I'll handle it from here."
"No problem." Nobara grinned, feeling a little drained but reassured now that Kakashi was free.
Kakashi glanced down at her and Kiiromaru, who was already paddling to shore. "Brace yourself." He warned before he took and step and flung her with a chakra enhanced throw towards shore. With a squeak Nobara managed to brace herself and land on the shore in a crouch just in time to save herself from face planted into the sandy ground.
After that the violence escalated by ten fold, the two jounin sparing little time for chit chat now. The scent of Kakashi's fury was strong in the air, nearly burning her nose with its strength. Nobara moved back into position around Tazuna, Kiiromaru following after, and Naruto and Sasuke falling in on each side of her. The three genin shared a grin, proud of their accomplishment.
The fight seemed to go quick after that, Kakashi's fury seeming to fuel him. The two jounin went back and forth. Attacks were fired left and right in quick succesion, both jounin moving with a speed that almost boggled the genin's mind. It was truly a terrifying sight. If they'd been really fighting Zabuza without Kakashi they would have been dead already. The genin braced themselves as a huge wave of water blasted past them, the jounin riding the wave like it was nothing.
"Your future, Zabuza, is death!" Kakashi growled menacingly as he prepared to make the killing blow.
Nobara only caught the newcomers approach seconds before they were there, senbon proceeding them. The senbon 'shicked' into Zabuza's muscled neck, obviously precision hits, just as the hunter nin landed lightly in the clearing.
The new comer was fast. Nobara hadn't even heard the nin move before he was there and Zabuza was falling. Zabuza's scent inhibiting jutsu failed as his chakra vanished. His scent was like baked bread and sea salt, a unsuspectingly pleasant smell for such a sick man.
"Thank you." The hunter nin said hollowly from behind his mask. His scent was just as concealed at Zabuza's had been. "I've been tracking him for quite a while and you've saved me a lot of trouble."
Kakashi nodded, leaning down to check Zabuza's pulse. "He's dead." He confirmed solemnly.
The hunter nin nodded, crouching down to haul Zabuza's body onto his back. Zabuza looked rediculously large on the small hunter nins back. "Farewell." He said politely before he leapt into the trees and dissapeared.
"What the hell?" Naruto shouted, pointing furiously. "Who the hell was that guy?"
Kakashi sighed, rubbing the back of his head, looking exhausted even with his mask on. "A hunter nin from Kirigakure, you can tell because of the distinctive mask he was wearing. Its there job to hunt down missing nin and kill them, to protect the villages secrets."
"He was so strong." Sasuke said slowly, with a hnt of resentment in his voice.
The jounin shrugged. "That's the way the shinobi world works. There are people out there that are younger than you…..yet even stronger than me."
"Kakashi-sensei, that Hunter-nin….." Nobara trailed off, watching as Kakashi swayed then started to fall.
Gasping, Nobara shot forward, managing to catch his shoulder just before he face planted. Grunted, she flipped him over and the three genin gathered around him. Checking his pulse she sighed in relief and looked up at her teammates. "Just chakra exhaustion. We should get to Tazuna's so he can rest."

Tsuga: Passing Fang. The user spins at a ferocious speed and delivers many powerful beast-like attacks when contact is made with the target. The technique can inflict extreme damage on a human target, as it can readily tear through thick tree branches and chakra reinforced earth wall, all of which with a radius thicker than the user itself. It can also be done with a partner which is called Fang Passing Fang (Gatsuga)
AN: Soooo, this was surprisingly really hard to write. Trying to decide how different I would make it from the storyline. Nobara is pretty much Sakura's opposite, so it only make sense that dialogue may be similar but still different. Also Nobara would react much differently than Sakura. I can't see Nobara just sitting out battles like Sakura did in the begining. Also, fight scenes aren't my favorite thing to write ever.
