*Kakashi's P.O.V*

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Raven knew as well as I did that the kids had a death wish if they went after Zabuza, but she had no idea what to do and she was struggling. She yelled. "What do I do? I can't do anything!" She jumped in front of the kids, wincing as she landed.

"Help them as much as you can. They're not listening to me either." I knew I was in panic. I was trapped and Raven could barely move, these kids weren't going to make it through this if I didn't get out of this prison. "What are you guys doing?! I told you to run. This fight was over the minute I got caught and Raven got hurt! Now take off!"

Zabuza taunted them. "Big words for such a little man. You think your plans going to keep you in the game?"

Raven tried to convince the kids. "Your mission is not to prove how brave you are, it's to save the bridge builder. Stay on mission!"

Naruto turned around and looked at the bridge builder. "Bridge builder?"

"I guess this all happened because of me and my desire to live. I won't let that stand in your way now. Forget about me and do what you have to do. Go ahead and fight to save your sensei.

Sasuke got excited. "Alright, you hear that?" He was smiling.

Zabuza began to laugh now. "You really haven't learned anything have you? Still playing your little game and pretending to be ninja? When I was your age this hand had already crushed many opponents."

When he spoke it clicked into my head on exactly who Zabuza Momochi was. "Zabuza the demon."

"So I was in your book too, huh?"

"Long ago in the Village Hidden in the Mist, also known as Blood Mist Village, before a student could become a ninja there was one final test."

Zabuza looked down at me. "Do you know about that graduation exam?"

Naruto looked over at Raven. "What graduation exam?" Zabuza started to chuckle at him. "What's the big deal anyway? We had graduation tests too."

Zabuza looked over at him. "Did you have to kill the other students to pass?" Naruto looked shocked. "Imagine young ninja like you; eating together, training together, and then comes the final exam. Only they've changed the rules, kill or be killed. You can't stop while your opponent still breathes, he was your friend, shared your dreams, now it's him or you."

Raven continued for him. "Ten years ago in the Village Hidden in the Mist the graduation exam changed. One year before a dark evil had filled the school with terror. Without pause or hesitation a young boy who was not even a ninja approached the class and took down over a hundred other students."

Zabuza went to a dark place. "It felt... it felt so... GOOD!" He jumped toward the kids and elbowed Sasuke, sending him flying. After Sasuke hit the ground he ran at him and punched him in the stomach.

Raven lunged at Zabuza and with one swing Zabuza's clone sent her into the trees once again. When she got back up she knelt on one knee on the ground and one leg up, clutching her side. "Sasuke!"

Zabuza put one foot on Sasuke's stomach, reaching for his sword. Sasuke winced underneath him. "You're nothing."

Naruto intervened. "Stop right there." he started to make a hand signal. "Shadow clone jutsu." A dozen clones of Naruto appeared around Zabuza and Sasuke. Zabuza took his foot off Sasuke and all the clones took out kunai, letting Sasuke regain his balance. They all jumped at him and Zabuza swung his sword, making them all fly across the ground.

Raven shouted at the kids with no success. "His skills are too advanced. He's too strong, you'll never defeat him. Run like Kakashi told you!"

As Naruto's clones flew across the ground they started to disappear. One of them reached into his backpack and grabbed a shuriken, throwing it to Sasuke.

Sasuke grabbed the shuriken and opened it, standing his guard in front of Zabuza. "Demon wind shuriken, windmill of shadows."

Zabuza taunted. "Shuriken, you'll never touch me with that!" Sasuke jumped in the air and launched it at Zabuza. It flew past the clone and kept sailing. "So you passed the clone and aimed for my real body, smart, but not smart enough." Zabuza grabbed the shuriken out of the air and suddenly another shuriken came flying at him. Zabuza jumped, letting it fly underneath him. "I told you, shuriken can't touch me."

Sasuke smirked and the shuriken behind Zabuza and I turned into Naruto. Naruto threw a kunai at Zabuza. Zabuza's face turned to anger, but Naruto still spoke. "Eat this!"

Zabuza took his hand out of the water prison to stop himself from getting hit by the kunai, it barely scraped his face. He took the shuriken he still had in his hand and pointed to Naruto. "I'll destroy you."

I knew his next move was to throw the shuriken at Naruto so I jumped into action. I flung my arm in front of the shuriken, making sure the sharp part on the shuriken hit the metal plate on my glove. Even through the glove I could feel the blood start to trickle. I was pissed, they could all see it in my eyes. I commended the kids while I held Zabuza back. "Naruto, that was an excellent plan, you've really grown, haven't you?"

Zabuza tried to save his dignity. "I got distracted and lost my grip on the water prison.

Raven appeared next to the water. "Don't flatter yourself."

I looked over at Raven. "Stay back, you're hurt." I looked back at Zabuza. "You were distracted, you were forced to let go." I let him see the fire in my eyes as I continued. "You'll never lay another hand on Raven either, I'll make sure of that."

Raven couldn't take the pain anymore. She dropped to her knees and winced even more, clearly trying not to yell out in pain. There had to be more than just broken ribs. Sasuke dropped next to her. "Are you alright, Raven?"

"I'll be fine. I have to help Kakashi." She tried to stand back up, but she couldn't.

"You can't even get up, you can't help him." Sasuke put his hand on her back. "Just let Kakashi-Sensei handle this. He can do it."

I spoke to Zabuza. "Your techniques may have worked on me once, but it wont work again. So what's it going to be?"
