Recap.

Miyuki looked out, she couldn't see a thing, 'It's so thick, Zabuza probably can't see a thing either… what is he up to?' she heard the sound of metal on metal. She turned her head a bit, 'Zabuza's aiming at Kakashi, from the sound of it, someone blocked whatever was thrown at them.' she bit her lip, 'This is dangerous, Sasuke and Naruto are still trapped with that boy…' she jerked her head forward, seeing Zabuza in front of her, grabbing his sword, ready to slash down. Before she could react, Kakashi was in front of her..

"Too late!" Zabuza yelled, swinging his sword down, and Sakura screamed.

"You were too slow Kakashi, did your desire to save those brats cloud your mind and thicken the mist? Even with that impressive eye, that ability to read movements is dimming. Heh, let me enjoy this even more Kakashi, I want more fun as the favor, don't worry about the brats, Haku's probably already killed them. Plus I'm about to send you to the same place as them, you can apologize to them in the next world for lacking the strength to protect them." Zabuza said.

Miyuki froze, it wasn't Kakashi she saw.. No, it was Hiku… she shook her head, and within a second, had side stepped Kakashi, swinging her kunai down at Zabuza. Zabuza backed up and she turned, kicking him in the side, sending him back. She took a stance, and glanced back to Kakashi, seeing the gash on his chest, then forward. 'Damn it. I shouldn't have froze like that!' she hissed.

Zabuza raced forward, then jetted to the side, "Look brat!" He hissed, "Haku was watching you as well, he informed me of the weakness you have." He swung his sword.

This time Miyuki was ready for it, she turned right, stopping the sword by using the kunai to slip inside the hole on the end of Zabuza's sword. She skidded back a bit, and looked at Zabuza, smirking, "That I can barely see out of my right eye? Pathetic to attack on the blind side, it's the side I'm more alert any way!" She said, pushing back, "You and that kid are underestimating those two boys, Naruto is more than determined, and Sasuke is the offspring of Leaf's most outstanding clans!" She yelled, now pushing his sword up, then hitting him in the chest with her fist, sending him back.

There was a few seconds, before Zabuza's voice could be heard.. "You mean.."

"Yeah." Kakashi said, "His name is Uchiha Sasuke. A genius ninja with the Kekkei Genkai of the Uchiha clan running through his veins."

"An offspring of that tragic clan…" Zabuza seemed to mutter, "But Haku's the same. Nobody has ever defeated that special jutsu of his…" He said, the mist thickening.

Miyuki braced herself, then brought her arm up, skidding back from the kick Zabuza sent her. She skidded few feet, before she caught Zabuza's punch. She sent her free hand into his face, knocking him back into the mist. She gritted her teeth, then felt a hand on her shoulder. Before she could land the punch, the person caught her hand, and she saw that it was Kakashi, she instantly pulled her hand back as he took a step forward.

Kakashi looked into the mist, "Can you hear me Zabuza? You seem to think I survived in this world only with the Sharigan. I am a former member of the ANBU, what kind of ninja I use to be, not just copying… I show you my own jutsu." He said, pulling a scroll out from his vest.

That's when it hit. That awful chakra, that terrible chakra. Miyuki tuned, 'It can't be! The Nine-tails in Naruto…' She felt fear, "The seal can't be broken…" She whispered.

"This feeling…" Kakashi muttered, looking back, then forward, "It's not completely broken." He said, then opened the scroll, smearing his blood on the scroll, "Zabuza, can you hear me?" He said and Miyuki turned to him, picking up the venom in his voice, "Neither of us has time to waste, this might not suit your style but let's end the fun." He said, throwing the scroll up and letting it shut before catching it and holding a hand sign, "And finish this now!"

"Sounds interesting," Zabuza said, "What can you do in this situation? Kakashi, show me!"

Miyuki recognized what it was after Kakashi slammed the scroll into the ground, 'Earth Tracking Fang no Jutsu…' she thought.

"Whatever you do is useless, you can't figure out where I am, but I know exactly where you are, Kakashi, you're trapped by my jutsu."

Two seconds later, Miyuki heard the sound of dogs. Kakashi stood up, "If ears and eyes don't work, then just use your nose." He said as the two leaf jounin saw Zabuza, dogs trapping him where he stood, "That's what happens when you have your eyes shut in the mist. This summoning is specially for tracking down an opponent. The reason I purposely let my blood spill twice was for this. My blood is soaked on your weapons. These are my cute nin dogs." he said, as Miyuki raised her eye brow at the 'cute' comment. " their sense of smell exceeds that of all other dogs, you are trapped in my jutsu." Kakashi said, putting two fingers on his temple, "The mist is clearing, your future is death."

"My future is death? I'm sick and tired of your bull shit." Zabuza spat out.

"Don't be foolish, there's nothing you can do in this situation. Your death is certain. Zabuza, you went to far." Kakashi said, "your ambition was too great. You abandoned your country and became a Missing-nin, your story even reached Hidden Leaf Village. You attempted a coup de tat and your attempt to assassinate the Mizukage both failed, you needed money for your revenge and you also need to avoid the hunter-nin's that's probably when you attached yourself to Gatou." He paused, doing hand signs and Miyuki saw it. The Lightning Blade. She took a step back, "You are too dangerous. Tazuna, who you're trying to kill, is this country's courage. The bridge he seeks to build is this country's hope. Your ambition sacrifice many people, that's not what a shinobi should do."

"I don't get a damn.. I fight for my own ideals and that will continue!" Zabuza growled,

"I'll ask one more time." Kakashi said, catching Zabuza's attention. "Surrender… your future is death."

Zabuza laughed, "The minute you let me go, I'll kill that bridge builder! I'll kill those brats! I'll kill that woman! I'll kill you!" He growled.

Kakashi rushed forward, ready to strike the man. Miyuki watched, then suddenly saw an ice mirror appear, and needles struck Kakashi's scroll then..

Kakashi's Lightning Blade struck Haku, splattering blood, and then Kakashi's dog's disappearing. Miyuki's breath caught in her breath, seeing Kakashi's hand sticking out form the back of Haku. 'That boy took the hit without hesitation…' she thought, watching Haku use the last of his strength to grab Kakashi's arm.

"my future is death? You're wrong again Kakashi." Zabuza said. Then grabbed his sword, "I sure picked up something useful, giving me this chance!"

Miyuki saw the swing, and did hand signs quickly, her left hand engulfed in flamed, then was next to the Haku, who was dead, and raised her right arm, letting the sword sink into it, giving Kakashi enough time to grab the boy and back up, then shoved her left hand on Zabuza's stomach, burning him and causing him to back up.

"Miyuki!" Kakashi said, now having shut Haku's eyes, "Stay back.. Naruto, that goes for you too." he said, Miyuki looking back at him, seeing the hatred in his eyes, "this is my fight."

"Kakashi! This is not time for sight seeing!" Zabuza said, rushing forward.

Miyuki turned forward, ready to defend herself, when Kakashi pulled her back, crouching down and kicking Zabuza in the stomach, sending him back. She ended up falling on the ground, but she could still see the venom Kakashi was putting into every punch he threw at Zabuza. She watched him get behind Zabuza, ready to thrust two kunai knives into his neck, when Zabuza moved his sword. As Kakashi backed up, he was able to sink the kunai knives into the missing-nin's arm.

He didn't move and knelt down, and Miyuki knew he had to be tired, stood up, now standing behind him. "Now both your arms are useless." Kakashi said, you can't even perform a seal."

"Oh, you're getting your ass kicked, how disappointing." A voice said. Looking over, there was a short man dressed in a suit with gray hair and small circular glasses.

"Gatou." Zabuza muttered.

"Heh, the plan's changed, well, actually, I planed on doing this from the start. Zabuza, I'm going to have you killed."

"What?"

"I never planned on paying you anything." Gatou said, "Hiring a ninja from the village is very expensive and they might betray me. So I get you missing-nin's who are easy to take care of afterwards. I have the ninja's battle each other and once they're weaken, I defeat them by shear numbers. It doesn't cost me anything, good plan don't you think? The only problem in the plan was you Zabuza. The Devil of the Mist? What a joke if you ask me. You're more like Cute Little Baby Devil."

"We can easily kill you now!" The hordes of men behind Gatou yelled. "Zabuza."

"Gatou." Zabuza said, venom sipping out, "What are you doing here."

"The plan has changed. well, actually, I planned to do this from the beginning." Gatou said with a nasty smile, "Zabuza, I'm going to have you killed right here. I never planned on paying you any money. Hiring a normal ninja is very expensive and they might betray me, so I get you missing-nin's like you who are easy to take care of afterwards. I have the ninja's battle with each other and once they're weakened, I kill them off with numbers. It doesn't cost me anything, good plan don't you think?" He said, "The only problem in the plan was you, Zabuza. The Devil of the Hidden Mist? What a joke if you ask me.. Hehe, you're just a cute little baby devil."

"Yeah! We can take you!" The men spoke behind Gatou.

Miyuki didn't like any of this. 'There's too many. Kakashi's exhausted, I know he is…'

"Kakashi." Zabuza spoke, "I'm sorry, this fight is over. Now that I have no reason to go after Tazuna, I have no reason to fight you or that girl."

"Ah, you're right." Kakashi spoke, looking over.

Miyuki watched Gatou as he walked over to Haku, "Oh yeah, I owe this one." He spoke, walking over to Haku, "You squeezed my arm until it broke." He muttered, then kicked him, smiling, "He's dead."

"What are you doing? You bastard!" Naruto shouted, running over.

Miyuki stopped him, putting her arm over his chest, "Naruto!" She hissed.

"Check their numbers Naruto, don't just rush in." Kakashi said, looking over.

Naruto, still in Miyuki's grip, turned to Zabuza, "What about you! Aren't you going to say something? Weren't you friends?"

"Shut up kid, Haku is already dead." Zabuza retorted.

"Don't you feel anything at all? Weren't you two always together?"

"As I was used by Gatou, I used Haku. That's all it was, as I've already told you. In the world of the shinobi's there are only those who use and those who are used. We shinobi are simply only tools, what I wanted was his blood, not him. I have no regrets."

"Hey.. Do you really mean that?" Naruto spoke, before ripping away from Miyuki.

She was taken back, "Wh- wait Naruto! We're not fighting him anymore! P-"

"Shut up! He's still my enemy!" Naruto shouted pointing to Zabuza. He then pointed to Haku, "He.. He really loved you! He really loved you that much! Do you really feel nothing at all? Do you really… really not feel nothing at all! If I become as strong as you… will I really become just like you.." Miyuki could hear him try to hold his tears back, but they still came, "He threw his life away for you! Without his own dream… to die as only a tool… that's just.. It's just too sad.."

"Kid." Zabuza said. "You don't.. need to say anymore." He spoke, tears of his own rolling down his face, taking Miyuki back. "Kid. It must have pained him to fight against you. Haku fought not only for me, he fought for you guys too. He was too kind." He said, tearing his bandages off. "I'm glad I got to face you guys in the end. Yeah, kid, you might be right. A shinobi is still a human, we may not be able to become an emotionless tool. I've lost." He paused, "Throw me your kunai kid."

Naruto was taken back, "Yeah, here." He said tossing it to Zabuza.

Zabuza caught the kunai in his mouth, then took off.

Gatou was taken back and ran to the back of the crowed, "Kill him!"

The men retorted with snickers, "One injured man against these numbers? No way he can win!"

Zabuza tore through the crowd, ignoring the weapons that many tried to kill him with. He raced through, and finally got to Gatou, stabbing him in the heart, while others tried to kill him by stabbing different kinds of weapons in his back.

"I… if you want to go to the same place as your friend, just die already!" Gatou shouted.

"I don't plan on going to the same place as Haku." Zabuza spoke.

"Wh-what? You won't survive!"

"Heh, you and I together, are going to hell." He said devilishly. "Even the unremarkable Devil of the Hidden Mist can become a real devil in hell. This will be fun! We'll have plenty of time to see if I'm a 'baby devil' down in hell!" he spoke before decapitating Gatou. He then turned to the others, eyes glaring, before he dropped his kunai knife and finally fell to the ground.

Miyuki watched, not surprised that on the brink of death Zabuza had managed to take out Gatou, even going through a crowd that was trying to kill him.

"Don't look away." Kakashi spoke to Naruto. "The end of the man that lived a difficult life."

"Yeah.." Naruto spoke with sorrow, as Miyuki placed a hand on his shoulder, eyes still on Zabuza.

"Naruto!" Sakura's voice called out, making Naruto look back, "Sasuke-kun! He's alive!"

Naruto smiled, happy that his teammate was alive. Miyuki looked back, then back forward, 'Haku was too kind.. He missed every vital organ..'

"I've been worried too but, Sasuke is alright, that's good.." Kakashi muttered.

"Hey!" the men spoke, "You guys are at too ease!" "Damn ninja's! you killed our meal ticket!" "Now we're going to pillage this village!" "And take anything that's valuable." "Let's go!" they said, rushing in.

"Damn, this is bad.." Kakashi retorted.

"What? Kakashi-sensei! Don't you have a special jutsu to defeat them all?"

"I can't, after Lightning Blade, summoning, and sharigan, I've used up too much chakra."

Naruto looked at Miyuki, "Miyu-sensei?"

She shook her head, "Nothing that can take them all out at once…" she spoke, tensing, but taking a kunai out, hell, she couldn't pull a simple move, only trick.

As they came close, an arrow shot out, stopping them. Everyone looked back, seeing the villagers, and Inari. "If you take another stop into our island, the citizens of this country will stop you with everything we've got!"

"Inari!" Naruto yelled.

Inari gave a laugh, "The hero always comes at the last second right?"

Naruto nodded, "I can at least help out!" He said, making a few clones.

'I can at least do that..' Kakashi thought, copying Naruto and making many clones.

Miyuki sighed, 'A simple trick is all I can do..' she thought, before doing hand signs. "Ryu Sutairu: Mizu no Doragon." She whispered, then let some water from the large river flow up, making house sized dragon, and let it give a dominatingly roar in the air.

That seemed to take the men back, and Miyuki smiled, "You want some of this?" She growled to them, her eyes flicking grey.

The men turned, "No we don't!" They said, running back.

Once they disappeared, Miyuki let her dragon disappear, and Naruto and Kakashi let their clones disappear as well. Kakashi stood up, and walked over to Zabuza.

"It looks like it's over, Kakashi." Zabuza spoke weakly.

"Yeah."

"Kakashi, I have a request."

"What is it?"

"I want to see his face again."

Kakashi slid his head band down, "Sure." He spoke before taking the weapons out of Zabuza and then picked him up.

Miyuki looked up as it began to snow, taken back. Naruto looked up as well, confused, "It's snowing.."

Kakashi placed Zabuza down next to Haku, and took a few steps back to Naruto. Miyuki looked over, seeing Naruto crying, "Naruto.." She whispered, placing a hand on his head,

"He… he was born in a snowy village.." Naruto spoke through tears.

"I see." Kakashi spoke, "he was a boy as pure as the snow."
