'Kyuubi's thoughts'

Rising Storm

Kakashi Hatake was not having a good day. From having to listen his students whine about getting nothing but d-class missions, the short fight with the two demon brothers, finally getting captured in Zabusa's water prison. He breathed a sigh of relief when he got free only to nearly be killed by some unknown attack. He then looked in the direction the attack had come from to see a masked man wielding two white swords. The symbol on the man's mask was the biggest shocker.

'A Hidden Storm nin? Been over a decade since I've seen one up close.' Kakashi thought as he remembered that last time he had been in the presence of one. Her name was Kasumi Uzamaki ambassador of Hidden Storm sent to negotiate a treaty between Leaf and Storm. There were rumors that she and Yondaime were more than close. But that's all he knew. He then realised that this Storm nin and Zabusa knew each other.

Hanzo slowly walked towards Zabusa with his swords at his sides ready to strike if necessary.

"I see you've gone down in the world. From Zabusa, Devil of the Mist to Zabusa, low class assassin picking on some weak Leaf Nins and an old man." Hanzo said.

"Just steping stones to overthrowing the Mizukage. I noticed you've changed loyalties yourself. By the way how's your baby sister?" Zabusa said as he readied his giant sword.

"She's dead and anyways I didn't like what was happening either but I'm not stupid enough to start a coup. By going over to Hidden Storm I have immunity from Mist hunter nins and besides the Kage of Storm is much more compassionate about his people." Hanzo said getting into a battle stance.

"I'm sorry about that but before we start let me make sure we're not interupted." He did several seals and 2 or 3 dozen water clones appeared around Kakashi and the 6 genins.

Hanzo scoffed and shouted "Naruto, don't worry about me just deal with the clones. I can handle Zabusa myself all right!"

Naruto nodded and with a silent gesture to both of his teammates they attacked the clones feverishly.

Meanwhile Zabusa pointed his sword at Hanzo while Hanzo put his swords together like a cross and whispered "Showtime." After that he charged Zabusa and the two clashed swords. Only a few second had passed and their swords already clashed against each other over 100 times. Finally Zabusa manged to cut Hanzo arm and his blood dripped into the water.

Hanzo smirked as he sheathed his swords and started making seals. "First blood to you but now I can do this. Bloody Mist no Justu!"

Hanzo's spilt blood spread out into the water encircling the two of them and then a thick red mist appeared and hid them from everyone else's view.

"You remember this justu? I hope you do otherwise I'll get bored real fast. Hanzo said as he disappered from view.

'I remember this justu very well. The mist hides you from my eyes but since your blood is also in the mist and it's infused with your chakra it hides your scent and I can't sense you either making it almost the perfect cover except I know how to dispel it.' Zabusa thought as he raised his huge sword above his head and with two hands spun it round and round faster and faster until it blew the mist away.

However when it did Zabusa another thing the mist hid besides Hanzo. "You used the cover to form your infamous Demonic Ice Mirrors."

"Correct my old comrade. There's no escape for you now. Remember this is only Level 1 of my ice mirrors. Let's reintroduce you to Level 2." Hanzo said as he stood on one of the mirrors. He started doing one handed seals at a fast rate and shouted "Demonic Ice Mirrors Level 2 Demonic Ice Prison." He jumped off as the mirrors began to fuse together forming four large ice mirrors and surrounded Zabusa. They closed in on him and shrank till he was trapped and unable to move. A thick layer of ice covered the top and bottom preventing escape.

Hanzo smirked as he watched Zabusa try to move. "You're trapped and now it's over." Hanzo then charged the prison unsheathing his swords and sliced right through the prison and Zabusa.

At least Hanzo thought it was Zabusa till he saw him turn to water. 'Shit! He switched himself with a water clone just before my prison captured him. That's means...'

Hanzo turned to see Zabusa once again fighting the Leaf Jounin. He then noticed the seals they were making and shouted "Get back onto the land right now." He then summoned two ice mirrors. One in front of him and another next to the Leaf genins. He jumped into his mirror and out the one on the land just in time to see a huge explosion of water.

Hanzo then saw saw Zabusa up against a tree with a couple of needles in his neck and the leaf jounin checking his pulse. Hanzo then noticed a trio of Mist hunter-nins jumped down and surround him.

"Hanzo Hana, a honor to meet you. We'll dispose of Zabusa now if you don't mind." The tallest one apparently the leader said to him.

Hanzo nodded and was about to walk away when he noticed the hunter-nins were picking up the body. "Wait a second." He said as he threw a kunai at them. They jumped up still carrying Zabusa's body. "You almost had me fooled but I remembered hunter-nin procudures. Cut off the head and burn the body at the exact place he died. Who are you?" "You'll find out soon enough Hana-san if you stay around here." The leader said as they disappeared in a thick mist.

"Damnit." he said as he saw the Leaf jounin pass out from chakra depletion. He picked up the jounin and carried him over his shoulder. "Great what else can happen?" He turned to the Leaf genins and asked "Hey brats, do you know where you are supposed to be?"

The old man who was with said "They're escorting to me to my house. Why do you want to know?" "Since their teacher has passed out I've decided that my team and I will escort you all there ourselves."

"We don't need help." A black haired Leaf genin said as he looked right at Hanzo.

Kyo stood in front of the boy, scoffed, and said "Yeah right pal. You guys could barely handle a water clone of Zabusa. You'd guys be easy pickings for any bandits who'd might try to rob you."

"That's enough Kyo we don't need to be picking a fight here and now." Naruto said as he stood in between the two.

Kyo nodded and said "You're lucky he's my friend or you'd be ash right about now." He emphisized this by closing his right fist and revealed a bit of his flame.

Naruto grabbed the fist and squeezed making Kyo lose the flame. "I said that's enough. Got it." He said as he squeezed harder making Kyo wince.

"All right. I'll quit. Damn it Naruto I was just..."

"He said stop it. All right Kyo so stop." Iori said as he came between his friends/teammates. "Besides Hanzo-sensei says we need to leave now." He then pointed to where everyone was leaving the three of them behind.

"Aw crap." Naruto said as they ran to catch with everyone else.

A.N. If you haven't figured out who Hanzo's nephew is then you're a baka. Also next chapter Team 7 gets some advanced training Hidden Storm style. Also the identity of the third member of Team 7.
