Ch 4. Ready, set, fight! or not?
The demi-saiyan duo couldn't hide the amusement dancing in their eyes. The look on the faces of everyone in the clearing was funny. They figured that if it had been them they probably would of had the same look of disbelief painted on their faces as well.
"Now like I said before we will be your opponents. So I suggest you don't hold back, I know we won't be hesitating in this fight." advised Trunks with a look of superiority. That statement made everyone come out of their shock induced stupor.
Those brats how dare they thought an infuriated missin-nin swordsman.
Meanwhile a Jonin trapped in a water prison was analyzing the move For a second there I thought that it was a similar jutsu to that of The Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Jutsu, but no that wan't it at all. If it was my Sharingan would of at least caught some traces of the jutsu or of the chakra flow, but it didn't which either means one of two things. #1 there is a way to fool my eye, a certain jutsu that my eye is blind to and these two kids found it or #2 they were just too fast for even my Sharingan to see. Either one of those options is no good and i'm almost willing to bet my Icha Icha Paradise that it's the latter option. Whatever the case these aren't any regular children, whether they're able to fight a Shinobi of Zabuza's caliber is still a mystery, but i'll have to keep my eyes open and wait for the right time to escape.
A certain Uchiha was thinking along the same lines as his Sensei, That was fast too fast. One second they're there on the tree and the next their gone, standing on the ground so suddenly. It looked like they teleported, but I would of caught at least some sort of sign that they were creating a jutsu. No no no it was speed, pure speed, they moved so fast that my eyes didn't register them moving. For kids to be this fast, I don't understand.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA well well well look here someones got spunk. I wouldn't go overestimating myself if I were you brat. You brats have some speed on ya'll that's true, but it takes alot more than that to go up against a warrior like me" replied a crazy eyed Zabuza.
The looks on Trunks and Goten's faces was that of complete confidence. Not backing down for a moment from the murderous glint in the bandaged shinobi's eyes or the large amount of killing intent pouring out if him that had Team 7 practically on their knees earlier.
"I wouldn't go around saying things like that if I were you someone might misinterpret it and think you actually care. Or maybe? Would they be right? The big bad Demon actually has a heart? Ha Ha Ha Ha who would of thunk it, isn't that right Goten?" smart mouthed the chibi prince. Turning to look to his best friend the blue-eyed boy was rewarded with the biggest Son grin he had seen in a long time.
The look on the Hidden Mist-nin was that of absolute rage, no one in his life had managed to get under his skin as much as the purple haired punk.
He's going to pay, making a mockery of the great Demon of the Hidden Mist will be his last act on this earth. "That's it now you've done it devil's spawn i'll kill you!"
The saiyans stopped their laughter when they felt the extra burst of killing intent coming from the Shinobi. Knowing that the time for playing was over and that they had a powerful opponent in front of them both boys' faces turned serious. Looking at each other one last time both chibis couldn't keep the glint of anticipation out of their eyes, they were saiyans after all and they were their father's sons to boot. The best friends gave each other determined glances before getting in their battle stances, noting that their enemy had already done so.
Team 7 could do nothing at this point. All they could do was be spectators to what was bound to be a slaughter, feeling useless.
I don't know what to do. Kakashi-Sensei is trapped and these kids are going to get themselves killed. If I interfere now with no plan all I will gain is my death and that will help no one thought a horrified and scared Sakura.
Sasuke and Naruto where also panicking, but unlike Sakura they were devising a silent plan to rescue their Sensei (who knew 2 rivals could come up with an elaborate rescue plan with only their eyes). While the Missin-nin was distracted with the children they would jump into action and attack the clone holding the Leaf Jonin hostage. He was after all the only one capable of defeating the Mist Jonin and the only hope that they along with the reckless kids had at survival. They both got ready looking towards Zabuza and the kids, waiting for the best opportunity to attack the clone determined, to do this no matter what. They Would Not Die Here!
The enemies stared at each other hard trying to determine each others' weaknesses as well as openings. Even the bandaged assassin was studying his foes carefully as though they were a threat. Whether that was because he was actually taking them seriously or he was carefully planning a way to kill them no one could tell, all they knew was that this fight was going to happen and they would have to watch. It was the blue-eyed child that moved to attack first moving so fast that he once again disappeared, only to be surprised as the raven-haired boy suddenly appeared in front of him. Goten's hands were outstretched in front Trunks back to their foe with an obvious intent on stopping his comrades' attack. Everyone in the clearing was shocked including the young prince.
"Hey what's the big idea Goten? Why'd ya stop me for?!" demanded the older boy.
Yea that's what i'd like to know. We were getting ready to attack the clone and now we will have to wait for another opening. Luckily I was able to see the black haired kid fast enough to stop the dobe from attacking. thought a confused Sasuke.
Zabuza for his part was also surprised and a little relieved as well. I was right they are insanely fast I didn't even see them move. I notice the purple haired punk move to attack and then he was gone. I didn't even perceive the other one move, he was just suddenly blocking his team mate. I gotta be more on guard if he hadn't been blocked I don't think I would of been fast enough to defend. As much as it pisses me off the little twerp was right if they are my opponents then I can't hold back. On the other hand why did he block him? Could it be some kind of trap? Better wait it out and see what happens.
"Well you see Trunks I just don't think that we should both fight him. I mean he's a bad guy and all, but I don't think we should be bullies. Two against one is just not fair!" explained the younger boy scratching the back of his head like his father and the signature Son Grin on his face. "I mean with us as his opponents he's already outclassed. I don't think we should gang-up on him too. We're warriors not bullies! My mommy wouldn't be happy if she found out that we beat up a helpless guy even if he was evil"
That guy! Thats all I can think of! I mean seriously that guy! How can he just stand there and say those things when they're about to fight an opponent this powerful. Why? I was so scared back then, I couldn't even move when I felt his kill intent and those two. They just act like it's nothing they aren't even scared at all. At first I thought maybe they were naive kids who were trying to be heroes. But looking at their faces earlier, when they were getting in their stances, I saw it. This weird glint in their eyes, their confident faces, and they KNEW they KNEW how powerful Zabuza is and it seemed like they were excited. I just don't get it! Are they really that strong or maybe... I'm just that weak. NO! NO! NO! I can't accept that! I have to prove myself to the team, to the village, to myself! Gotta save Kakashi-Sensei! thought Naruto while finally giving himself the extra determination he needed to fight with all he had. He was the future Hogake and he couldn't let anyone hold him back, no matter how powerful.
Everyone in the clearing sweat dropped. Was this kid serious? He stopped the attack on his enemy because it wouldn't be fair? What was going on here?! Yet his friend didn't have an incredulous expression like everyone else instead he was stroking his chin in a thoughtful manner looking as if he was contemplating his comrades' words.
"Hmmmm... I guess your right. I mean having us as an opponent is bad enough for a guy with his power level, but the two of us." mused the son of Vegeta out loud. The boy finally got out of his contemplative trance and punched one of his hands in a finalizing manner. "Your right 'Ten we can't both fight him, so then I'll do it!" announced the little prince. Goten on the other hand didn't look so happy with his friends words, instead he frowned.
"Na ah Trunks, why do you get to fight him? I wanna do it!" whined the son of Goku.
"Well isn't it obvious chibi? I'm the oldest so that means I get to fight him first." replied Trunks crossing his arms in superiority and looking really pleased with himself. Causing his friends' frown to deepen.
"That's no fair Trunks you always say that, but nu-uh not this time. I wanna fight this guy!"
"Well you can't because I already said I would!"
"That's not fair your being mean" replied Goten causing Trunks to look at him in the eye and reply;
"Am not"
"Are too" countered the onyx-eyed sayain while getting in his best friends face.
"Am not"
"Are too"
"AM NOT"
"ARE TOO"
Both saiyans looked as if they had forgotten everyone else was there waiting for what was supposed to be a battle and turned into children's quarrel. Those witnessing had large sweat drops appearing as they couldn't believe the absurdity of what they were seeing. The spectators of the most bizarre situation they had ever witnessed thought that the boys were going to let fists fly when suddenly the purple-haired boy stepped back and said, "Alright then, there's only one way to settle this."
The collective audience sighed in relief (except Zabuza he was pretty amused at the childish display) they weren't going to fight in the middle of the clearing. Only start panicking when they saw both boys take a fighting stance and make a fist with their right hand.
"Alright let's do this the old fashion way," stated Goten looking angry, but also extremely determined. The older boy nodded while looking as if he already won, "Alright, but remember your asking for it Goten."
"Let's do this!" they said in unison. Team 7 was about to intervene (Well Naruto & Sakura were gonna cause you know Sasuke-teme don't care. lol...) because friends shouldn't be fighting like that. Only to be dumbfounded when the boys didn't start taking shots at each other instead they put their right hand on top of their heads and swung down while shouting "1, 2, 3" at every "3" they would make a sign. Everyone fell down anime style this time even the missin-nin fell victim.
They're playing rock, paper, scissors? Could this get even more bizarre? Still that is a pretty good way to impartially find out who will fight. Just who are these kids? thought Kakashi not knowing that all those who where present where thinking along those same lines.
After the 7th round of Rock, Paper, Scissors a winner was decided. "Yeahoooo! I win! I win! I win!" cheered a very enthusiastic Goten "Rock will always crush scissors!"
Trunks kept staring at his scissored hand looking as though it had betrayed him. Sighing in defeat he mutterer under his breath "... I really wanted to fight him too..."
After cheering happily for a minute Goten finally calmed down and walked back to the area of battle. He bowed respectfully to the Mist jonin and with the most serious look anyone had seen of him so far (some didn't even think that the boy could get such look on his innocent features) he got into his battle stance and stared at Zabuza unflinchingly.
"I will be your opponent now. We can begin at anytime."
