Naruto

Chapter Four-Missing-Nin vs. Teacher! Plus a bonus match: Assasin vs. Kid-
Genius!

Sakura watched as Naruto's eyes slowly opened. Slowly, Naruto's mouth opened, smudging the lip stick residue from Sakura. Watching happily, Sakura felt tears flowing down her face. Nothing would prepare them for the coming danger they would face.

The sun rose over Konohagakure. Waking up, Shikamaru decided to go for a walk around the city. By the time he remembered that he had forgotten to put on shoes, he was in front of the hospital. Shikamaru decided to just keep walking. Deep in thought, Shikamaru walked right into someone he wouldn't expect to see in the land of Fire.

"Gaara! What the hell are you doing in Konoha?!"

"I was sent here to assassinate someone. That someone is in the hospital."

"Wait a second, highly destructive sand techniques, and a bunch of injured people. Woah, that's not a good idea."

"If you intend to stop me, go ahead and try. I'll just warn you that I have not been having a good day," Gaara wipe blood from his mouth.

"Fine, fine go ahead, but let me warn you that if you do anything funny, I'll-"

By that time, Gaara was already gone. Fearing for the worst, Shikamaru ran into the hospital.

* * *

Momochi Zabuza wandered aimlessly around the hospital. How did I get here? He wondered as he walked through the crowded halls. Looking around, he saw a kid wearing an urn on his back. On his wrist was a Sand Hitaite. What the hell is a san-nin doing here? Rushing after him was a young Konoha Ninja. What the hell is going on around here? Intrigued, he followed them.

Gaara walked towards the Critical Condition Ward. He knew Naruto should be somewhere in this wing. "Hey wait! You're not going anywhere!" Shikamaru ran into the room, "Everyone clear the building! There's a highly dangerous person here!"
* * *

As soon as Kakashi heard who was in the building, he wasted no time rushing to the scene of the incident (which was easy to find because the hall seemed to explode with sand). Sadly, Kakashi was tripped by someone he never expected to see again.

* * *

"Sakura, can you get me to the main hall?"

"Why do you want to go there? The intruder is there!"

"Exactly! I want to fight this intruder!"

Naruto sat in his bed, his Nine-Tail Chakara had seemed to have nearly mended his back enough for him to move. Sakura's caring eyes seemed to flutter down his body.

"Oh, alright I'll take you there."

Naruto tried to move out of his bed, but instead he did a face plant onto the floor. Naruto cried out helplessly, "Uh Sakura, a little help please."

* * *

Shikamaru was shocked, "What?! You want to kill Naruto?!"

"Yes. It is my mission."

"Well I'm afraid I'm going to have to stop you!"

Shikamaru rushed at Gaara. Instinctively, Gaara's sand protected him from any harm. Damn! I'm going to have to find a way to get past the sand, thought Shikamaru. Looking around for something to hold back Gaara, Shikamaru grabbed a lamp, and stabbed the Sand with it. The sand made a hissing noise and the area where the lamp was melted and then in an instant became hard, and clear.

Heat! That's it, if sand gets hot enough then it turns to glass! All I need to do is get him to a really hot place, and Gaara's sand won't work! Shikamaru pulled out a kunai knife and smashed through the glass part of the sand. Gaara screamed and clutched his head. Instantly, Gaara was surrounded in a sand cocoon. Uh oh, this isn't good.

Kakashi glared at his opponent. Zabuza Momochi stood laughing madly. Unsure of what technique to use, Kakashi summoned his chakara to his feet. Zabuza crew his sword, and ran at Kakashi. Just when Zabuza's sword was about to collide with him, Kakashi released the Chakara from his feet, boosting him over the swordsman.
Kakashi put his hands into a position to prepare to use a jutsu when he was attacked from behind by another Zabuza. At this opportunity, Kakashi launched a counter attack.

"Kanashibari no Jutsu!"

Zabuza froze in his tracks allowing Kakashi to knock him across the room. Kakashi used another jutsu, "This time I'll use the Zankuukyokuha"

Kakashi sent sound wave towards Zabuza, blasting him through the wall into the main lobby. Crashing into the floor, Zabuza coughed blood onto his face mask.

Sakura was pushing Naruto through the lobby at the exact moment of the battle when she was forced to leave Naruto for a second. Just as she left, the wall came crashing down onto Naruto. In a sudden burst of energy, Naruto exploded out of the rubble.

"You! I thought you died!" Naruto stood dumbfounded as Zabuza slowly pushed himself up.

"This time, I'll kill you Zabuza!" Naruto unwrapped his face bandages, and prepared for a battle.
