"Well...first of all...WHERE DO WE START LOOKING, SENSEI!?" Sakura yelled.

"Well...he told me something about the forest..."

"YOSH!! Let's search in forest!! Maybe if I beat the crap out of those two, my reputation will be saved!!" Naruto said.

"Oy...dobe...if you do...Kakashi will get all the credit..." Sasuke explained.

"Damn it!! WHY CAN'T WE SWITCH ALREADY!?"

"Baka!" Sakura said, sticking her tongue out.

"Haha...might as well do that so I can get all the credit!" Kakashi chuckled.

They walked towards the forest...without knowing the danger that lay ahead...

Chapter 10 – Let the Battle Commence! Part 1

===Hospital===

"Mr. Zabuza and Mr. Haku, you two are now fit enough to be released from the hospital." the nurse informed them.

"Ugh, thank God. I still have that splitting headache. Let's go, Haku."

"Just don't drink a lot of sake again, misters."

"Yeah, yeah. Let's go."

===Zabuza and Haku travel into the forest at night===

"Haku...Do you still remember the names of the people we have to kill?" Zabuza asked.

"Hai. Their names are Hatake Kakashi, Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura."

"There's smoke nearby and it seems like some people are camping out. Let's check it out. If we're lucky, it might be them."

===Team 7===

"What the hell are we going to do, huh? We walked around the forest at least 5 times and we still have no idea where the FUCKING waiter's family is!" Naruto complained.

"Ah well, what do you want me to do? We have to find those two guys...or was it one guy and one girl? Hmm...I don't know now...one looked like a girl..." Kakashi said slowly.

Nearby on a tree sat Zabuza and Haku...

"Did...Did...he just call me a GIRL?" Haku whispered angrily.

"Careful, Haku. Don't attack them yet...Anyway, you do look like a girl..."

Haku just sat there silently with anger written all over his face and started cursing quietly.

"Damn it! When is the cup noodles gonna be ready!?" Naruto whined as he kicked the log that Kakashi was sitting on.

"Naruto...can you just shut up for at least 3 minutes? It's barely been 30 seconds...!" Kakashi scolded as he continued reading Icha Icha Paradise.

"Well, what about that perverted book you're reading!!? You never put it down, do you!?"

"Say....Naruto...How do you know it's a perverted book? You've read it before?" Kakashi wondered as he raised one of his eyebrows.

Sakura and Sasuke started looking at Naruto with suspicious faces.

===Flashback===

"Hmm...Jiriya-sensei gave a free sample of Icha Icha Paradise...Hmm...Kakashi- sensei reads this and I'm in Kakashi-sensei's body...Let's see what he reads everyday..." Naruto said slowly as he began to open the book.

"Ahem...Page one...Volume 4... "Ahhh...stop that you little lecher!" said a woman..." Naruto was cut short when he realized what kind of book this was.

His face was bright crimson...and he mumbled, "Pervert..."

===End of Flashback===

"I...uh...I...Shut up!!" Naruto yelled as he blushed feverishly.

Kakashi laughed out loud and started pointing at Naruto.

"Haha, why are you red?! You little pervert!!"

"What do you mean by that!? You're one that reads that book everyday!!"

"Well...I'm old enough but...You're still young...I wonder what goes on in that little brain of yours...hmmm, I wonder...."

"Shut up!!" Naruto screamed as he turned around.

Naruto took out a banana from his pocket, peeled it, and began eating quietly.

"Naruto..." Sakura said softly.

"Nani?"

"Where did you get that banana? We never had a banana with us."

"Oh this. I snatched it from a fruit stand when I was hungry!" he grinned mischievously.

"Naruto, you BAKA!!! What would we do if you got caught!?"

"But I didn't."

"You would make Kakashi-sensei's body look bad and stop talking while you're eating!! You're ruining his good looks like now!!" Takeshi: Noo!!! WHY HIS FACE!! I'LL KILL YOU, NARUTO!!

"Eh...I already finished it." Naruto threw the yellow peel behind him.

"Whatever...Let's eat." Sasuke said coldly.

Zabuza whispered to Haku...

"Haku, let's attack when they start eating...they would be off guard then. Get ready..."

"Hai."

"NOW!"

They jumped off the tree and attack Team 7 with their weapons.

Team 7 caught by surprise, was able to dodge all of Haku's needles and Zabuza's slash.

"Haku, you will take care of the Uchiha and Haruno pair. I'll take on the fox and the sharingan."

===Haku's fight===

Haku dashed full speed towards Sakura and kicked her in the stomach, full force.

"Sakura!" Sasuke yelled out worriedly.

"Sakura? What are you talking about? Aren't you Sakura?" Haku asked since he was confused.

"Shit! That's right! I'm Sakura! I meant SASUKE-KUN!!" Sasuke yelled.

"What the hell is going on here?!" Haku yelled as he started running towards Sasuke.

Haku took out a couple of needles, jumped up, and aimed for Sasuke's arm.

Unfortunately, Sasuke was too quick for him.

Sasuke grabbed his arm, spun around like a whirlwind, and threw Haku down on the ground, head first.

He landed right on top of Haku, took both of his arms, and started twisting them.

"Truce?" Sasuke asked.

"Never!!" Haku yelled as he counter attacked Sasuke by grabbing his arm and doing an over head toss.

"I would never give up to a girl!"

Sasuke got up, dashed, and started punching.

Haku grabbed both of his hands and whispered softly on Sasuke's ear, "What are you going to do now?"

As you can see...Haku left one space off guard...and it's the space that all guys can never train even though they're strong...

Sasuke kicked Haku right in the...PRIVATE!!! Takeshi: Ouch that gotta hurt!

Haku kicked Sasuke in the stomach, which sent Sasuke flying towards a tree.

"Damn you, BITCH! That FREAKING HURTS!! OWW!!"

"What?! You're a guy?!"

"That's it!! I'm taking you down!!" Haku yelled as he did some hand seals.

Water clones came out, surrounded Sasuke, and attacked.

Sasuke quickly attacked them all.

Meanwhile...Sakura used Kage Shuriken No Jutsu combined with Bunshin No Jutsu.

Haku barely dodged the shurikens, and left him with two deep cuts across his chest.

Blood started spilling out slowly down his clothes...dripping onto the floor...

"Lucky..." Haku walked towards the big puddle of water and splashed it. He quickly did some hand seals and performed HiJutsu, Sensatsu Suishou.

Sakura and Sasuke dodged them as quick as they could.

Suddenly Haku performed HiJutsu, Makyou HyouShou.

"Now you're trapped inside my house of mirrors!!"

===Zabuza's battle===

"Naruto, you go on the opposite side of him so we can attack him at the same time!!" Kakashi ordered.

"Hai, sensei!!"

"Sensei...?" Zabuza raised one of his eyebrows.

"I mean! Don't order me around, you shrimp!"

"Nani?! Who are you calling shrimp!? Just go on the opposite side!"

"Yeah, whatever!"

"Hmm...This should be interesting..."Zabuza chuckled.

Naruto started running towards Zabuza.

Zabuza first kicked Naruto in the face, leaving an opening.

"There's an opening! Now is my chance!" Kakashi thought.

Kakashi dashed toward him BUT...he slipped on the same banana peel Naruto threw away! Takeshi: Remember that BANANA!! I didn't include the banana for no reason!

"NARUTO!!!" Kakashi yelled.

Naruto stood up and stared at Kakashi.

"Nani!? We're fighting!! Can't you see!?"

"Why did you leave a banana peel in the middle of the battle field?!"

"Well, what did you want me to do?"

"You could have put it in a bag or something!"

"Shut up!"

"Don't you dare say that to me or else I will definitely attack you instead of him!"

"Bring it on!!"

"Dumbass! They left out a big opening while fighting me! I can definitely defeat them now!" Zabuza thought.

Zabuza attacked them BUT...Naruto and Kakashi kicked him hard in the face and yelled, "STAY OUT OF OUR FIGHT, YOU MUMMY!!"

"What the hell?! They attacked me that fast even though they're concentrating on each other?! I won't let them call me mummy again!"

"Naruto! There's no time for this! Let's beat this guy up!" Kakashi yelled.

"Oh yeah...I forgot about him! Let's beat his ass!!"

Naruto used Kage Bunshin No Jutsu. He surrounded Zabuza and attacked him with shurikens. Zabuza carefully dodged them all and jumped up. Kakashi jumped up behind him and kicked him back down.

Then...they heard a scream in the direction of Sasuke and Sakura.

"Sakura?" Naruto yelled.

"Naruto! You should go help Sakura and Sasuke! Leave that guy to me!"

"Alright sensei! Good luck!" Naruto turned around to start running but Zabuza tried to attack him.

However, Kakashi got in front of Zabuza and got slashed across his upper body.

"Naruto...Before you go...Give me a scroll!"

"Which one!?"

"Just give me one!"

"But I can't open the top!"

"You open it from the bottom, baka!!"

"Which one do you want!?"

"WHATEVER!!!"

"AH SCREW IT!! HERE!! TAKE THE WHOLE VEST!!" Naruto yelled as he threw the vest at Kakashi's face.

"Don't throw it!"

"Whatever!" Naruto shouted as he ran in the direction Sakura's scream came from...

"Well, well, well...you are one brave little brat!" Zabuza shouted as he used Kirigakure no Jutsu.

A thick fog began to surround Kakashi...

"Let's see how talented you are..."
