"This fog is so thick. I can't see five feet in front of my face" Tenten said sitting in her boyfriends lap.
Once they had arrived at the ocean that stood in between Hi no Kuni and Nami no Kuni they saw a man in a row boat waiting for them. Exchanging hello's team 8 and Tazuna got onto the small boat and started their ride towards Wave. However once they were close the boatman cut off the engine and started rowing the rest of the way once a dense mist surrounded them.
Out of the mist the team suddenly saw a large object off to the side. Looking towards it they noticed that the object was a huge bridge.
"We're almost there" The boatman said to the rest of the passengers.
"Whoa check out that bridge" Tenshi said quietly
"It's huge" Naruto said after
While the family of four were looking at the bridge Kurenai decided to get some more answers from Tazuna.
"So Tazuna, you said Gato was after you because he fears the bridge. You said that you asked for a C ranked mission because it was all you could pay for. Is there anything else we should know before we reach the shore?"
Looking down so his head was covered by his hat Tazuna said "I'm not completely sure, but once Gato knows that the first attempt on my life failed, he will most likely send someone even more dangerous after me. Gato has billions and billions of yen (is it yen?) under his belt and he is able to buy plenty of thugs to do his dirty work. He is even known to buy missing nin's to do assassinations for him. Gato will do anything it takes to make sure he still rules over wave country, as long as it doesn't involve getting his hands dirty"
"So he does things that are wrong but he doesn't want to do them himself?" Hinata asked
"Exactly" Tazuna said back
"This is bad then" Kurenai said
"Why is that Kurenai?" Anko asked her
"Gato sent chunnin after us last time, this time he will most likely send a jounin after us" Kurenai said back
"A jounin huh? Oh this will be fun" Anko said licking her lips in anticipation
"I say bring it on. A jounin is no match for all of us" Naruto said
"I bet we can beat a jounin if we all work together" Tenten said after
"Yea we can win" Tenshi said
"We will not lose" Hinata said lastly
"Fine then, but if Gato does send a jounin let me and Anko handle it" Kurenai said to the genins
"Hai" came the reply
xxxxx
Team 8 reached the shore and thanked the boatman and continued on their way. They were on a dirt path with Tazuna in the middle of all of team 8. Hinata and Naruto were to the right, Tenshi and Tenten were to the left, Kurenai was behind him and Anko was up front.
Seeing movement in the corner of his eye Naruto threw a kunai into a bush, thus putting everyone on guard. Naruto walked over and into the bush and appeared with a white rabbit in his hands.
Blinking a couple of times Tenten asked "Why did you throw a kunai at a rabbit Naruto?"
Looking at Tenten Naruto said back "Look Tenten, this rabbit is white"
Looking at the rabbit closely Hinata says "That means that it was raised indoors"
"So it can't be wild, a trap maybe?" Tenshi said
Anko and Kurenai suddenly stiffen and yell "EVERYBODY GET DOWN!"
Kurenai grabs Tazuna and ducks while everybody else dives to the ground. A huge sword suddenly flies over their heads and embeds itself into a tall tree in front of them. A man suddenly appears standing on the hilt of the sword looking down at team 8.
The man didn't wear a shirt, but was wearing blue jeans and cow printed leg warmers and arm warmers, as well as a belt that went around his neck and down his chest. He had bandages covering everything on his face from the top of the nose down. A Kiri headband was on his forehead but turned to the right.
Looking down at the group the man said in a deep voice "So, Anko Mitarashi the snake mistress and the Ice queen Kurenai Yuhi. What a surprise"
Looking at the man Kurenai said "You must be Zabuza Momochi the demon of the mist correct"
"My name has traveled far apparently. Yes that is my name, now hand over the old man"
"Not gonna happen demon boy!" Anko said back
"Very well then. I'll just have to kill you all"
"Team, protect Tazuna!" Kurenai yelled
Jumping in front of Tazuna the family of four brought out their weapons
Looking at the four Zabuza said "Ah so three of them like weapons while the fourth is a Hyuuga. How interesting"
Zabuza suddenly vanished and appeared on top of the lake off to the side with one hand on front of his face while the other was up in the air. There was mist flowing around him and the team could tell he was going to use a jutsu.
"Let's see how long you all last, Suiton: Kirigakure no Jutsu" Zabuza said as he vanished
The mist that was barely there a second ago suddenly became the only thing the team could see.
Not knowing where their sensei's were Naruto spoke, "Hinata can you find them?"
"Let me try. Byakugan" Hinata said activating her bloodline.
"Looking around for a few seconds Hinata said "I can't see them. The mist is too thick"
"Try the other way Hinata "Naruto spoke back
"But I haven't mastered that yet" Hinata said looking at Naruto who was right next to her
"Just try it. I know you can do it" Naruto said back with a smile
Smiling back Hinata said "Alright. I'll try."
Going through the hand seals Hinata whispers "Suiton: Chakra Kenpa no Ame"
A light rain suddenly appeared within the mist, covering everyone inside of it. Hinata could see through the jutsu that there was chakra everywhere in the mist. However, there were four large spots of chakra within all of it. She guess that the two who were right next to each other were Anko and Kurenai, there was one farther away that was constantly emitting chakra that she guessed was Zabuza. However there was one that was barely in her range to her southwest. That one was just standing there and that confused Hinata. She could not tell if it was en enemy, since it wasn't attacking them, or an ally, since it wasn't helping them either.
Telling the other three what she found Naruto suddenly thought 'Haku is here'
Looking at the others Naruto whispered, "As long as the one in the trees doesn't fight us, we don't need to attack him"
"Alright then" Tenten said back
From within the mist Zabuza spoke, "Eight points to strike. Larynx, Spine, lungs, liver, jugular, subclavian artery, kidney's, heart. Now which one will puncture."
All of the genin looked scared. Hinata was shaking, Tenten was sweating and Naruto and Tenshi were only slightly shaken up
"Naru-kun I'm scared" Hinata said
"This is scary Tenshi-kun" Tenten said after
"Don't worry you two, me and Tenshi will protect you with our lives" Naruto said to them
"Don't be so cocky" Zabuza said as he appeared in between the genin and Tazuna
"Die!' Zabuza yelled as he swung his sword
Zabuza suddenly froze as he found a naginata, a katana, and a pair of claws stabbed through him while a burst of chakra came from a pair of gloves and flowed through him.
The Zabuza that was impaled suddenly burst into water and the genin stood wide eyed as another Zabuza appeared ready to but them in half.
In mid-swing however Zabuza was stopped when a bunch of snakes wrapped around him and a kunai was found next to his neck.
"You okay gaki's?" Anko called standing next to Kurenai
"Yea. We're fine" Tenten said a little shaken up
"Looks like you lose Zabuza" Kurenai said as she held a kunai to his neck
Zabuza looked shocked, until he suddenly smirked and turned into water
Kurenai and Anko were wide eyed as another Zabuza appeared behind them in mid swing. Barely ducking in time they thought they were safe. However Zabuza continued his swing until his sword dug into the ground and spun, thus kicking both Kurenai and Anko more than twenty feet away and into the lake.
Smirking Zabuza said "It's time to finish this"
Running to where Kurenai and Anko were going to land Zabuza planned to cleave them in half.
However Zabuza looked at the ground and said "Poisonous snakes. They're trying to slow me down. Well it won't work on me"
Zabuza suddenly jumped over all of the snakes and landed on the water just as Anko and Kurenai emerged from the water
Going through some hand signs Zabuza said "Fools, Suiton: Suirou no Jutsu"
Kurenai and Anko were suddenly encased in water while Zabuza was laughing
"You two are leaf jounin? You two are pathetic. This prison is made of water, but it is harder than steel. It's hard to fight when you can't move huh? So much for you leaf jounin. I'll finish you two off later, but for now, it's time to get rid of a few pests, once and for all. Suiton: Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu"
Inside the water prison Kurenai thought 'Damn it. We underestimated him'
A single water clone appeared out of the water of the lake and stood by the originals side while the real Zabuza spoke.
"You think just because you wear a headband that your a ninja? Hah! When you have been in between life and death so many times it doesn't phase you, then you may be called a ninja. When you become deadly enough to be entered into my bingo book, then you may be called a ninja. However, to call you four brats ninja is a joke!" Zabuza said as his clone got ready to charge
"Gaki's get out of here!" Anko screamed from within the prison
"Take the bridge builder and run! You four can't handle someone like Zabuza. He is using all of his chakra to keep us in here, so only his water clone can fight you. However the clone can't go far from his real body, so if you all get far enough he won't be able to chase you, so run!" Kurenai yelled at the genin
"Run gaki's. You have to..."
"No way in hell I'm running!" Naruto screamed back "There is no way I'm leaving you two behind!"
"It wouldn't matter how far away we got. Zabuza would catch us eventually" Tenshi said after
"We can't just leave you two to death!" Tenten yelled
"So we will save you!" Hinata also yelled
"So put this in your bingo book Zabuza! The four that will become the strongest ninja in the elemental nations are Naruto Namikaze! Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
"Tenshi Namikaze! Kaze Bunshin no Jutsu!"
"Tenten Namikaze! Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu!" (She doesn't have a last name so why not take her boyfriends?)
"Hinata Hyuuga! Oboro Bunshin no Jutsu!"
"And we will win!" many said as one
The clearing was filled with eleven of each genin all brandishing their weapons
'Namikaze?' Anko and Kurenai both thought
"This should be interesting" Zabuza said
"Three bunshin's of each guard Tazuna" Tenshi said
"The rest of us. Let's get him!" Naruto said as they charged

Evil cliffhanger no Jutsu
Authors notes: I had to stop it somewhere. You will know the result of their battle once the next chapter is out. All of the water and wind justu's that the family of four will use are on my profile linked so you can know what the jutsu does and what it means.
To answer a question by Malix2:
For the Hijutsu that Tenten chose. It is not the same as Haku's and it does not take a bloodline to use. Tenten uses water to make the senbon while Haku takes it a step further and turns the senbon into ice. That and I think that Haku would need to know the water version of it so he could use the ice version
Oh yea one person that I had gotten reviews from and faves that I forgot to put last chapter is thymistacles.
I just forgot that one last chapter
and the 100th review goes to Malix2
So until the next chapter
keep reviewing!
