Chapter 10: Wave Part Two
Naruto blinked, and then put on a wide grin, "Well, I've got good news and better news"
Naruto was with Sakura and Kakashi, who, after the request of Tazuna, after setting up camp for the late afternoon decided to sit around the campfire while Sasuke hunted and looked for food. Tazuna was sleeping after all the mental abuse he had gotten from Kakashi's killer intent
"What's the good news then?" Kakashi asked as he watched the flames dance from the fire. His eye watching every spark fly off. It wasn't that he wasn't interested. More like he was bored since he had read Icha Icha so many times and he still felt bitter that the Icha Icha movie he waited for was discontinued just because he travelled through time
Naruto looked at Kakashi and Sakura with a grin"Well, one would say this is good news for me and great news for the foreseeable future" Naruto said with a knowing smirk.
"Well, then spit it out!" Sakura said eagerly
"Well, first news" Naruto cleared his throat " would be that Kurenai-san and her team will be the one who'll come and support us for this mission."
Kakashi nodded. Though he would have chosen Gai just because he was more in-tune with him, and their teamwork was impecabble against all of that 'youth' crap, Kurenai would be a good second choice. 'All according to plan' Kakashi thought
Sakura was confused before she realised who Kurenai's consisted of and then looked at the blonde with a smirk "I see what's good about that for you" Sakura smirked "Hinata" she had said with a playful tone.
Naruto just grin and nodded, "You'll like the second news more though Sakura-chan" maintaining his big grin knowing how the girl would react.
Sakura did not reply and waited expectantly. Naruto breathed out and said "Tsunade Baa-chan is back in Konoha!"
Sakura looked at the blonde and stared at him before opening her mouth with a big 'O' before saying "What!?" with a surprised look
"Yeah! I met Baa-chan when I went to the Hokage's tower" Naruto paused and continued "Well, my clone did it but you get the point"
Sakura had a smile on her face "After this I'm gonna meet with Tsu-" she started saying before they heard leaves ruffle which put them on guard. It was for naught when Sasuke appeared with a bear, dead on his shoulder
"Who wants to clean this?" Sasuke said with absolute boredom on his face as he drop the bear and the ground shook. The rest just looked on Sasuke in sheer awe and a 'w-what?' can be heard in the background as Tazuna looked out his tent

"Is that right?" Jiraiya looked at the short, stout man in interest. If this information was true...
"Yeah, a shitstorm happened there. Or that's what I heard from a couple of Shinobis who passed here. I thought you shinobis were all hush hush?" The short man said humorly as he drank from a glass.
"Well, most of us anyways" Jiraiya said as he laughed then he gave the short man a small package
"This is for you, for your services" Jiraiya winked at the man who smirked and nodded before leaving the table with a grim look on his face
"I gonna need to tell the brat personally"
————————
The Shinobi hospital was known by everyone as the best hospital the country had to offer. It was the epitome of medical achievements, able to give the world many medical-nin that were very much needed for the war-torn world, and one of, if not, the best medical-nin in their time
Today though...
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?"
Tsunade looked in horror at the cabinet files. Every files were arranged in no particular order and certain files weren't even inside the cabinet file. It looked like a hurricane went through the room and cluttered everything
"YOU! TELL ME WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE!" Tsunade shouted to a nearby nurse, which shivered in fear
"T-Tsunade-sama, we haven't had the time to-" The nurse started before she looked at Tsunade, who had a deep scowl at her face, and so she stopped
"THIS WILL NOT DO! I ABSOLUTELY FORBID IT! YOU AND YOU! ARRANGE IT RIGHT NOW OR ELSE I'LL MOVE YOUR SHIFTS TO THE GRAVEYARD!" Tsunade ordered to two nurses who were unlucky enough to be near her. One of the nurses turned in annoyance before she realized who the person who ordered her was, then ran into the room and started arranging
"Shizune! I want you to look at the states of the supplies, see to it that they are in good condition" Tsunade ordered to her apprentice who nodded and run upstairs
"I don't remember this being so bad last time." Tsunade muttered while she rubbed her forehead. But she would need to bring things up to speed, especially with things that were gonna happen next month
The chuunin exams were coming, and they would need to prepare, if history was right.
"Dammit Naruto, why can't you just be normal?" Tsunade muttered with a small smile then she spotted something "HOW THE HELL IS THIS HOSPITAL EVEN RUNNING?!"
————————
The next day
Team seven were now in Land of the waves after they left the camp in the early morning and rode the boat to the Land of the Waves just as the sun reached it's highest peak. They were still in diamond formation, wary of the things that they knew were gonna happen.
"I still can't believe we're doing this mission again" Naruto muttered as he looked at the vaguely familiar scenery. It seemed so long ago that Uzumaki Naruto, pariah of Konoha did the mission. Now it was Uzumaki Naruto, Nanadaime Hokage and Hero of The World.
Then, a white bunny suddenly passed in front of them which Naruto and the rest recognized.
"DUCK!" Kakashi shouted before pulling Tazuna down. The rest followed suit as a giant sword suddenly flew over their heads
"Now I know why those brothers were defeated" A voice suddenly appeared from their left. Naruto and Sasuke put out their kunais as Sakura guard Tazuna. Kakashi was in the front, just like last time. "A Jounin with three genin, especially with a jounin of your caliber. They didn't stand a chance, did they?"
"The Demon of the mist, Zabuza Momochi" Kakashi replied. A figure popped out from one of the trees and Kakashi looked, and saw a tall and noticeably muscular man with light grayish skin, short spiky black hair, dark brown eyes, and small eyebrows. He also wore bandages like a mask over the bottom half of his face.
"Copy Ninja, Kakashi of the Sharingan"
"And here we go again" Naruto muttered with amusement as they watched both Kakashi and Zabuza stare down each other, killing intent leaking out from each other. Though it didn't bother them one bit like last time. Naruto was really amused too. He can let out killing intent more better than that with the Kyuubi's help, of course.
After a few moments of them staring, Zabuza finally broke the silence "I'm surprise you didn't order the brats to run, Kakashi. Especially knowing that this fight isn't on their level anytime soon" Zabuza said as he looked at the three genin behind Kakashi. Zabuza was confused and irritated when the three genin weren't affected at all when he released more killing intent and only watched with amusement in their faces
Kakashi laughed as he maintained his lazy facade "Don't underestimate the enemy, Zabuza. You never know, this three kids might be secretly Kage-level"
Zabuza scoffed "There's nothing to underestimate, Kakashi. I know Konoha's soft with their Shinobis. I have nothing to expect from them" He said as he kept looking at the three genin and found his irritation growing. They simply weren't affected with any of his killing intent. Why the hell aren't they scared?
"Well, we're gonna see about that wouldn't we?"
"Ahh, letting me see your famed Sharingan now?" Zabuza said to Kakashi
"No, no. You're not really worth the trouble, Zabuza. I rather read than fight a fight that's rather... troublesome" Kakashi said to Zabuza, taunting him. It had the intended effect and Zabuza's killing intent multiplied.
"Well, well. Getting rather cocky are we? Then let's see if you can live after I'm done with you." Zabuza said putting out a hand seal
"Kirigakure no Jutsu"
Suddenly, the once clear dirt path suddenly fills in with mist from every direction. Tazuna took a step back in fear as he watched the mist cover the area until it reached his legs.
Suddenly Zabuza appeared in front of him and swung his sword.
"What!?"
Suddenly Tazuna dissapeared finding himself hitting his sword on solid ground. He looked around and found Tazuna much more farther than their initial place. The blonde holding Tazuna's shoulder shoulder
'Genjutsu...or just raw speed?'
"I told you to not underestimate your enemies Zabuza" Kakashi said in the mist. Then he shivered slightly when he felt that the scarecrow was...smirking?
Suddenly Sakura popped out from his left. He moved to defend himself but found it useless when the girl punched the ground and found himself falling as the ground broke and a crater formed.
As he was falling, he formed a hand seal then teleported out. Suddenly as he appeared, he felt a chakra signature closing in on him. He swung his sword to the general direction, knowing that his sword's size can hit anyone, but found himself irritated when he saw the person suddenly dodging.
He looked up and saw the raven-haired boy he saw protecting Tazuna. "You sure you want to do this brat?" he said when he saw him suddenly unsheating the boy's katana.
He didn't have a chance to reply when the boy suddenly appearing near his head and swinging. He managed to dodge and push away the boy 'What the hell! So fast!'
"I should be the one asking that Zabuza. Are you sure you want to continue?"
Zabuza scoffed "You're still a hundred years too early to be on par with me brat."
"Hn, I should have guessed". Then Zabuza hairs stood up when he felt a person popping out from his side. He looked and saw the blonde with a blue ball in his hands
"Rasengan!"
Zabuza felt a twist of enormous pain as he was suddenly thrown from the power of the jutsu. Zabuza crashed in the tree and was near from going unconscious when he felt something from his neck.
Kakashi walked up to Zabuza's unconscious form "I told you" he said before a figure popped out from the branch
"Thank you for your help, Konoha Shinobi, for dealing with Zabuza"
Kakashi looked up and saw the familiar hunter-nin...well fake hunter-nin. He nodded "Well, it's our pleasure"
The missing-nin nodded and took Zabuza before dissapearing in a swirl of leaves
Naruto and Sasuke popped out grinning and smirking respectively
"That! is why Team seven is the best!" Naruto shouted
"I told him so." Sasuke said in a calm manner
Then suddenly both of them fell down to the ground, surprising Kakashi. He ran up to his students "Sakura!" Calling out for their resident medic. Sakura popped out grinning before spotting the two. She ran to them and slipped into medic mode
"What happened!?" Sakura asked as she assesed her two unconscious teammates
"They just fell down after popping out!"
She felt their veins before checking out their chakra. "This is..! Their bodies are currently suffering from excessive chakra"
"But why now?" Kakashi asked noting the one month
"Probably because their bodies can't keep up with the chakra going around their bodies in a real fight" Sakura theorized before she nodded and stood up "They're just currently unconscious but we need to carry them to the house for proper rest"
Kakashi nodded "Alright then, I'm gonna get Tazuna"

Orochimaru watched the tube's content in concentration before he felt someone enter.
"Kabuto, did you get what I asked you for?"
"Yes, Orochimaru-sama" Kabuto said before giving him some papers
"Excellent... You may leave" Orochimaru said to Kabuto, who left. Orochimaru watched Kabuto very carefully before he turned back and read the paper

He looked again at the container then smirked
"Welcome back... Mitsuki"
