Chapter 7
He watches as his plan works out. They had toyed with Sasuke in the form of Kakashi. He needed Sasuke kind of pissed off and they had just made little comments about his family. It had worked and now Sasuke was doing what Ganmaru and him needed him to do. Which was having Kakashi focusing on him. He then nods to Ganmaru to start the water jutsu and then he begins on his root jutsu.
As Kakashi just dodges the attacks, Kakashi then steps onto the spot where he has been using his root jutsu. Soon the roots begin to warp themselves around Kakashi and Sasuke the gets blasted by the water jutsu. It snaps Sasuke out of his rage and then Ganmaru and him drop out of the trees. He then walks over to where Kakashi is being held by the roots and takes the bells he then tosses one to Ganmaru and then Sasuke. He then cancels the root jutsu. He could believe that it was that simple, but then, he doubts that Kakashi ever thought that he knows this jutsu or have ever seen one like it. For the roots were quite large.
As the roots go back into the ground, this releases Kakashi and the jonin then they wait for Kakashi to say something. He notices that Sasuke tried not to look too puzzled and it seems that he couldn't pass his bell to Sakura, for if his right, Kakashi had been stalking her. So, it seems that he's stuck with the bell.
Kakashi then just sighs and walks away. They follow and then hear the alarm go off. They made it with time to spare. He can't help but grin a bit at this. He wasn't even tired.
They watch as Sakura is tied to the tree stump and then they all just wait for her to get up. When Sakura wakes and sees Sasuke, she scream and tired to move. Then as they watch, it slowly dawns on her that she was the only one tied up. The face that she made just made him want to laugh. "Well, it seems that some of you know just what this whole thing was about. This whole thing was about teamwork!" Kakashi announces.
Sasuke only grunts a bit in surprise and Sakura's face falls at hearing this. Ganmaru smiles slightly at this and he just smirks. Kakashi then continues, "I know for a fact that Koichi and Ganmaru had already decided to team up from the start. The fact that they created a plan and that they understood how to get Sasuke to work with them without Sasuke know means that Koichi and Ganmaru have already passed this test. Now it's up to Sasuke and Sakura to try their luck against me. So, here." Kakashi brings out the three lunches. The jonin then hands one to Ganmaru, Sasuke, and to him. He sighs and could see where this was headed.
"Now, after you finish eating that Sasuke, you and Sakura will battle me. Now, don't feed Sakura." Kakashi says and then leaves. He and Ganmaru begin to eat their lunches and Sasuke just looks at his and then around the place. He can't give Sasuke or Sakura any help on this. Soon Sasuke just says, "Here, you're no good to me if you're hungry." Sasuke moves his lunch in front of Sakura. "But what about not feeding me! If Kakashi finds out." Sakura trails off. Sasuke just sighs and says, "I don't think he's around here. I don't sense him around here." Sakura then tears up and then Kakashi appears out of no where and says, "You pass!"
Sakura's jaw drops and Kakashi then explains, "Up till now, the two of you have only followed my orders. You acted like mindless drones. While Koichi and Ganmaru thought about the pros and cons of some of my orders. In a ninja's world, those who violate the rules and fail to follow are lower then garbage." Kakashi then pauses and stands straighter before continuing, "However, those who do not care for and support their fellows are even lower then that!" Then Kakashi turns around and says, "You all pass! Here's you headband, Koichi!" With that he carries his headband and Kakashi then walks away.
He grins as he then ties the headband on his head and then follows Kakashi example. He can't wait to find Terish and Yue and exchange stories with them. He hears the others walking behind him, but he feels like he's forgetting something …

He sighs as he watches as Ganmaru and Terish talk. It's been a good month since he and his friends received their headbands and they don't have a regular teacher. He knows that Gai was busy with his team that passed last year. So, they have been training with one of the other cells their age.
He sighs and looks at their client. His name is Tazuna and he was a bridge builder. It was their job to protect him and so far, it has been interesting. First some Mist ninja attacked them and they found out that the man that wants Tazuna died was some rich guy. He sighs at hearing that, it was just another example at how different this northern land was to their home.
The fact that they were tagging along was simple. The Hokage thought that they were ready to leave the village. The fact that team 7 was coming with them was that this week was when they were doing missions with that cell.
They were coming into some mist. He frowns a bit and looks around. Then gets ready for an attack. Even Terish and Yue have their hands over their kunai pouch. They closed ranks around their client. He watches as a huge sword comes flying down. "Duck!" Kakashi yells and pulls Sakura down onto the ground with him. Then he looks to where the sword was and the figure on the hilt of the sword.
Then he looks to Yue as Yue scans the area. Then without warning, Yue takes off. "Well, it looks like there's a coward traveling with you." The man says. He snorts and answers, "Your friend should watch themselves. Yue is one hell of a tracker." Terish nods in agreement. The man looks stunned at this. Even Kakashi looks at them. "You mean there's another guy around here?" Sasuke asks. Terish nods and says, "Yip. Few things can fool us, plus we look for different things when searching for enemies." Ganmaru just sighs and soon the man looks off into the distance. Already the sounds of battle could be heard.
"You're not Leaf ninjas, so what's your home village?" The man asks. "Light Village." He answers. "Well, it looks like your time's been cut short. I'm Zabuza Momochi, the demon that hides in the mist!" He couldn't help but laugh at this. Even the others of the group couldn't help but smirk. It was Terish that says, "You look to be more of an Oni then a true Demon." Zabuza then asks, "Oni, Demon, same difference." He stops laughing and then says, "Wrong! Oni are a sub class of Demons. Oni are huge humanoid looking beasts that live and breed on this plane of existence. They don't have the same abilities as true Demons do. To just say there is no difference just show your ignorance! For Oni are easier to kill then Demons. Get the difference now?" He could see that this wasn't going well for the so-called mist demon. "What's this got to do with anything?" Zabuza asks. "It means that you can be killed." Sasuke says with a smirk on his face.
"Could we try not to enrage the guy with the large sword?" Sakura asks. "You're friend doesn't stand a chance against my friend. As for enraging me, that's was a given!" Zabuza says and then the mist comes closing in around them. He closes his eyes and listens are hard as he can.
Then he hears Kakashi say, "Don't worry Sasuke. I'm here to protect you!" Then he pin points the location of where Zabuza was and grabs a kunai and charges the spot. The mist clear and he smells blood. He opens his eyes and finds that he aimed for the guy's left arm. He then lets go of the kunai and leaps out of the way of a punch. He then hears a splash of water and looks to find Kakashi by some water. Then watches as Terish and Ganmaru charge Zabuza from different sides. He hears trees shaking, meaning that Sakura and Sasuke had gone to find Yue.
He then watches as Zabuza jumps out of the way of Terish and Ganmaru's attack. And right into another Kakashi. He watches as Zabuza then keels over and looks out of it. He then moves to check and see if Zabuza was alive and finds that the mist Nin was alive. He then looks up at Kakashi and finds that Kakashi's left eye is uncovered. He stares at the red eye with three black dots. Kakashi then recovers the eye and looks away. He sighs and lets Terish and Ganmaru bind Zabuza's arms and legs. Then Terish puts something into the enemy's mouth to keep Zabuza from killing himself.
Soon a masked kid appears and before they could do anything, the kid teleports Zabuza away. Then watches as Yue comes roaring onto the seen. He notices that Yue actived his bloodline and then to see Ganmaru's reaction. Ganmaru's jaw was hanging from his mouth. He just sighs and then turns to watch as Yue transforms back into his normal self. "Good work out?" Terish asks Yue. "Just a blast." Yue says dryly. "You have a bloodline limit?" Ganmaru finally asks. He watches Sasuke and Sakura return and then as Terish answers, "It's rare." Yue just nods and then just yawns tiredly. They soon continue onwards to their client's house. They now had much to worry about.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
They land by a cave a few miles from Gato's base and he needs to go over just what kind of injuries Zabuza has. He sighs in relief that he's only knocked out and will be waking soon.
He had been stunned when that white kid charged him from his hiding place. He had thought that he was well hidden, but it seems that the green-eyed youth wasn't fooled. The battle as a long one and he had to uses his bloodline limit just to slow him up. Then just as he was about to knock the other out, the kid transformed. He was fighting some who also had a bloodline limit. It was really touch and go from there.
Then when the other two arrived, he saw his chance and took it. He retreated and then came upon that seen. Zabuza had lost and was knocked out and tied up. He quickly jumped to Zabuza's side and teleported them away.
He thinks over his match with that kid and then remember the headband that was on the kid's head. He's never heard of a village with a feather for their symbol. So it was an unknown enemy traveling with those Leaf ninjas. Why they were traveling with them, he didn't know. It was just unheard of for another village to work so closely with another ninja village.
He finishes untying Zabuza, it took him longer then it should, and then waits for Zabuza to wake. The only thing on his mind was not what to do next or on hating the Leaf and unknown ninja, but on the image of that white-haired kid when he had been transformed. The white hair that grew on the kid's arms and how the kid's muscles seem to grow a bit as well. The look of fury that seem to radiate out of those green eyes. He was stunned when that kid did a jutsu when he was transformed. But then he could only guess that it was family jutsu meant for members of that clan with that transforming ability. He wonders if, had he grown up where this kid had, would he still have a family? He couldn't get these thoughts out of his head, for unlike the kid; he looks perfectly human when using his bloodline limit.
To Readers:
Just to remind you, I started this when I was really bored. So, if it jumps around, it because I want more character point of views then I usually do for some of my stories. This is just a loose story that I'm writing. And if you have any ideas for other plots or characters, I wouldn't mind hearing about it. Also, some of these points of views are just one shots.
