Hidden Genes
Summary: There is a type of jutsu only one shinobi could use,the Shodaime became famous for it being impossible for anyone who doesn't have his DNA, and even then it was rare. Sharingan is an Uchiha doujutsu,so no one can have it unless an eye is given, so why does the Kyuubi vessel have both?Why does he move like the Yondaime?
Naruto was glad that Sasuke listened to him and took out his shuriken, throwing one after another as he ran towards the water clone. Zabuza, predictably, repelled them all away with one swipe of his massive sword but Sasuke had already jumped into the air, readying to bring a kunai down on the enemy and hopefully at the very least dissolve the stupid Mizo Bunshin. But the clone still managed to catch him around the throat, squeezing hard and throwing the Uchiha far behind Sakura and Tazuna. But that had given Naruto the opening he needed and the Mizo Bunshin soon found itself being attacked by over a dozen Kage Bunshin, surprising him that a genin could perform such a technique. He hadn't yet noticed the red eyes all the blonds had as he tried to push them away, but with Kurama's help, all the replications were far stronger and lasted longer, surprising Zabuza at the power one messily boy held.
Still, Zabuza's clones somehow managed to push the shadow clones away, one by one popping out of existence as they slid across the hard ground. Still, Naruto managed to do as he wanted. All the dissolving of the clones made even more of a commotion and it allowed him to do two very important things. His eyes suddenly had three tomoe in them as he put his hands in a prayer position, concentrating at the ground beneath the clone's feet and allowing roots to rise from the ground, tying the clone's legs loosely enough that it doesn't notice but tight enough to stop movement if it tried to protect the original. He then changed the hand sign and discretely turned himself into a Fuma Shuriken, allowing his last clone to pick him and and place him in his bag.
That last clone continued to skid across the ground before seemingly rumbling through his backpack and pulling something out. ''Sasuke!'' The Uchiha automatically responded by catching the offered weapon, his eyes easily seeing through the henge. His eyes widened and he realized what Naruto was planning, so he swiftly spun around, in the process taking out his own Fuma Shuriken.
'I see. I see what you want to do, Naruto. A good plan for an usuratonkachi.' Sasuke thought as he opened the two shuriken. Naruto could see that Zabuza was staring at them. Unlike Sasuke's eyes, his had no struggle in seeing everything. He had a fully developed Sharingan and Kurama's presence sharpened his senses even more. He could see everything in clear detail and he wondered if anyone else had noticed the roots tying Zabuza's clone to the spot. Actually, everyone was staring at them. After all, they had pulled off the plan so far rather successfully. No one would think they could work so well together with so little words exchanged. Naruto and Sasuke were actually surprised themselves but now was not the time to marvel at their excellent collaboration.
''A shuriken won't work on me,'' Zabuza confidentially said to the equally confidentially standing Sasuke. The Uchiha looked like the epitome of pride at that moment. His back was straight and his eyes were hard, making the Sharingan in them look exceptionally scary. He may still be just a child but he was already a ninja. It can be seen in his eyes. And Zabuza had yet to realize that you are not to mess with Konoha's ninja, especially their Uchiha Clan.
Sasuke ignored Zabuza's words and jumped high into the air with an elegance that he was born with and that he further mastered with years of hard and intense training. His movements blurred in his speed and then he reappeared before throwing the big shuriken at his enemy expertly. The clone prepared to dodge but was surprised when he noticed the shuriken making an arch. The clone made a move to protect the original, only to notice, for the first time, the restraints that had now tightened around his feet. Like hell was Naruto allowing his plan to fail! Sasuke noticed the restraints as well as he landed and smirked. Naruto did his part in this stage of the plan, now for the finale.
They all watched as the shuriken hurled towards Zabuza, but the man didn't seem worried. ''I see. So you're going after the real one this time.'' He said nonchalantly, as if a giant weapon wasn't just making its way towards him to cut him in half. It's too easy for me!'' He exclaimed as he just as expertly caught the Fume Shuriken, making Sakura and Tazuna about to groan in despair when they all noticed the second shuriken heading towards Zabuza, having been hidden in the first one's shadow. ''The Shadow Shuriken technique? You really do have interesting students, Kakashi.''
Two sets of red eyes stared intently as their plan slowly unfolded. But Zabuza simply jumped high enough for the Fuma Shuriken to pass below him, seemingly failing their attempts.
''It's still too easy for me!''
''Oh no, he dodged it!'' Sakura cried in panic but Sasuke just smirked.
Behind Zabuza, the shuriken suddenly made a popping sound. It shifted eveyone's attention to it and their eyes widened when they saw Naruto there, throwing a kunai at Zabuza's arm, aiming to disable it so he couldn't move it anymore, leaving his jutsus useless and inhibiting his taijutsu skills. And the only way Zabuza could dodge was if he pulled his hand away. AN d judging from the enraged growl he released just before drawing back from Kakashi, he knew that.
And he was not happy for being forced to draw back by a couple of brats so h made to cut the closer brat with the Fuma Shuriken as Naruto was falling into the water, but Kakashi was no free and he stopped him. Naruto did a complicated looking twist as he landed so he could quickly swim out of the water and to shore while the two jonin were glaring at each other. When Kakashi regained his breath, there was only one thing he could say.
''Sasuke, Naruto, excellent work. I haven't seen that good a teamwork in many years now.'' The blond of the two beamed and Sasuke just smirked at Zabuza. The man frowned at the pair, not believing he had lost himself to a momentary fear because of two little genin. Two rather good genin, but genin none the less. They were mere kids just out of the Academy, yet they had managed to make him release the real problem. But if he had stayed, it would have been much worse. Not only would he have released Kakashi, but one of his arms would have been useless. In a fight against an opponent like the Copy Ninja Kakashi, that could be more than fatal. ''Now it's my turn. And let me tell you.'' Kakashi glared at the larger man, who frowned right back. ''The same jutsu won't work on me twice.''

The fight between the two jonin had ended up being rather brief. Kakashi had been winning when a strange masked boy arrived and nailed Zabuza in the neck with two senbon, seemingly killing the ninja. He had then proceeded with taking the larger ninja away to supposedly get rid of the corpse, but Naruto didn't believe him one bit. For one, he could still sense Zabuza's chakra flowing through his body and a quick - and risky, without the fog - glance with his Sharingan showed him that Zabuza was indeed still alive. He was still breathing, for goodness sake! It was just so muted that no one else would be able to see it. Naruto doubted Sasuke's eyes were developed enough yet to catch such slight movements and Kakashi was dead tired after that fight.
Besides, it wasn't their job to interfere with the workings of the Hidden Mist Village. They only had to watch over Tazuna. Which was made all the harder when Kakashi went and fainted right after the masked boy took Zabuza away. Of course, it caused a slight panic in Sakura and Tazuna, but thankfully Sasuke managed to calm them down some. Naruto had been too busy checking to see if Kakashi's collapse had injured his head to worry about the reason behind it.
There's nothing to worry about, Kurama said and Naruto sighed in relief. I smell no blood on him or poison and I can tell that he's just exhausted himself. He's not an Uchiha to use the Sharingan so much without consequences nor is he in your specific position.
''He's fine. Just really tired.'' Naruto called out to his companions and Sasuke nodded. ''But we need to get out of here before more of guys like him come around.'' He motioned for Sasuke to go on the other side of their sensei and the two of them hoisted the silver haired man up.
"We're not far from my village. Maybe another half an hour of walking." Tazuna said as he helped them steady the jonin. They thanked him for the assistance but refused any further help.
"But with Kakashi like this, it will take twice as long at the very least." The Uchiha stated after a pause in which he had calculated the odds. "If he gets a fever from overexertion, we'll need to stop and let him rest. In the worst case scenario, we'll need to spend the night somewhere."
"But we'll get killed like that!" Sakura immediately protested. "We need to get to the village as soon as we can!"
Naruto frowned at her in distaste. "If we don't, he'll die and then we're dead anyways." The blond looked back at Kakashi as the man groaned at the first step. "I think we can say an hour and a half will be the fastest time of arrival."
"Then we should get going." Tazuna said with a nod and moved to walk in front of the two boys. "I'll lead. We may be lucky and end up running into someone from my village. They'll take Kakashi-san off of your shoulders and then the two of you can rest, too. If not, I hope we at least find some place to hide. I don't think there are any caves nearby."
"We're still in danger!" Sakura insisted as she ran up in front of the two boys and blocked their path. "We don't have Kakashi-sensei to look out for us. Even if we manage to remain hidden during the night, we won't know if someone's found us until it's too late! And none of us know how to hide our chakra signatures or tracks and scents! We're a sitting duck no matter what we do!"
"If you continue being so loud, they won't need to even try to find us," the dark haired genin growled out at her and Sakura shut her mouth with a flush of embarrassment as she realized how she was acting. "And Naruto can look out for enemies for us. He has the sharpest senses out of all four of us. He'll tell us if something is coming our way."
"And I can send out a few clones to make sure no one is either following or preparing an ambush for us." The vessel in question offered, wanting to calm the kunoichi down. But when he saw she wasn't doing any better or moving out of their way, he groaned long-sufferingly. "We have to go, Sakura-chan. We really will die if we don't get out of here soon. And we can't leave Kakashi-sensei or Tazuna-jii-chan. We'd either abandon our mission or our comrade. I'd rather not be labeled as either scum or worse than scum, thanks."
The girl huffed. "It's not as if you have anything to worry about regarding that-"
"Sakura, shut the fuck up." The oldest genin ordered with a murderous glare and the girl eeped in fright. Naruto brushed off the insult and just shrugged.
"I know I'm hated and I know why I'm hated. I can't help that. But I'm not going to be labled or hated because of my own cowardliness. Mostly because I'm not a coward. You can either come with us or return to Konoha. Or you could go ahead and ask for help from the village." He said as if the thought had just occurred to him. And it had, but he'd rather send one of his own clones than Sakura. After this freak out, he wasn't so sure they should leave her alone. He couldn't blame her, as she had lived a pretty much normal life without witnessing the massacre of her own family or being hated, shunned, hunted and almost assassinated by the village she called home. She just wasn't like him and Sasuke, who have both come face to face with death more than once. Sasuke in one night and his numerous nightmares. Naruto almost every other day of his life. And seeing her face pale even more, Naruto added as an after thought. "That's actually a pretty good idea. I could send a clone instead, though. It's best if we stick together."
And the pinkette immediately nodded so Naruto shifted a bit under Kakashi's weight to make the needed hand seal. The clones appeared, three going up ahead and two going back behind them to scout out and get help. The blond sighed a shared a look with Sasuke. The other boy looked as annoyed as he and Kurama both felt.
It was obvious this was going to be a looooong mission.
