Kitty
The Assassin of the Mist!
"What is it?" Sakura screamed.
"Sensei…is it that serious!" Naruto exclaimed upon seeing his serious face.
"NO, Kitty's right, you aren't going to die." Kakashi said.
"Oh thanks Kami!" Naruto sighed relieved.
"Come on let's quit this sappy crap and get going on our way." Kitty said.
They all nodded and went on their way.
AFTER AWHILE
They finally arrived in the Wave Country.
During their ride on the boat Kitty spoke, "Tazuna-san, I think it's best if you tell us who exactly is after you."
"She's right; those ninja's that attacked us were not there to make friends." Kakashi said.
"This is not a class C mission is it?" Sakura asked.
"No." Sasuke answered.
"What class is it?" Naruto questioned.
"Class B." Kakashi replied.
"But... that's way out of our league!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Wellwe can't go back anyway, these people will surely catch us ifwe do. This thick mist doesn't stay for that long." Kitty stated from her observations.
"You got keen eyes there Kitty." Kakashi commented.
"Arigato" Kitty replied.
"So Tazuna will you tell us who were up against? Because if you don't we might as well leave you once we get to shore." Kakashi said.
"Gato is the one after me." Tazuna-san answered.
"Gato, from the Gato Company?" Kakashi asked bewildered.
"But, he's one of the richest men in the world." Kitty said.
"Who is he?" Naruto asked.
"Sure, Gato is a rich guy who makes a living through marine transportations on the outside but underground he hires ninjas and gangs to smuggle in drugs and contraband goods. He also takes over companies and countries as a hobby. About a year ago he set his eyes on the Wave Country, he came into our country using violence and money as his protection and with that he quickly took over the country's sea traffic and transportations.By controlling our sea, he controls everything within our country including the people of the land. The only thing that Gato is afraid of is the completion of this bridge." Tazuna explains his situation.
Tazuna looks at their expression.
Kakashi looks as if he understands.
Sasuke is emotionless.
Kitty gives no sign of acknowledgement.
Naruto is totally confused.
Sakura tries to fill in the blanks.
"I get it… so with you trying to complete the bridge you pose as a threat to him." Sakura said.
"Then those ninjas must've been sent by Gato." Sasuke concluded.
Naruto looked very perplexed.
Kakashi questioned Tazuna, "What I don't get is why you came to us asking for a C ranked request when you know how powerful and dangerous Gato is."
Tazuna was about to reply but Kitty spoke, "The Wave Country is poor."
Tazuna nodded to confirm her stated answer.
"How do you know this?" Sasuke asked.
"I've been to the Wave Country before and I knew this mission was way out of our league, since the moment he stepped into the room back with the Hokage." Kitty said.
"Well why didn't you say anything?" Sakura asked.
"Because I knew this man didn't have enough money for a B ranked mission or above and I didn't want him to be forced to pay." Kitty said.
"Oncewe land and you leave me I will surely be killed! But don't blame yourselves only my 8 year old grandson will cry… and my daughter will hold a grudge against you ninjas forever!" Tazuna complained.
Sweat drop on both Sakura and Naruto as they looked annoyed at him.
Kitty looked at Kakashi as if saying; you know we have to help him. Kakashi nodded and said, "Well I guess it can't be helped, we will continue escorting you.
"That's good to hear!" Tazuna said.
Then Tazuna turned around made a peace sign and whispered, "I won."
Kitty smirked at him and waited.
Everyone was now anxious to get on that island.
"We're almost there." The rower said.
"Tazuna it looks like we haven't been noticed yet." The rower informed him.
"Arigato" Tazuna said.
As they approached the island, Naruto was amazed at the view of the island.
The rower dropped them off at this harbour place and told Tazuna, "This is as far as I can go."
"Sure, Thanks a lot for your help," Tazuna replied.
"Be careful," the rower warned as he rowed away.
SHORE
As he left, Tazuna turned to the 5 ninjas and said, "Alright time to take me home in one piece!"
"Hai, hai" Kakashi said.
FOREST
As they walked into the woods Kakashi thought, if they were to attack us they're going to send Jounin levelled ninjas instead of Chuunin levelled ones… oh well.
Kitty walked along silently she wasn't hoping for anymore attacks, especially now when her mind was spent on brainstorming on what could've happened on this island. Kitty's mind was exhausted she wasn't going to come up with any more brilliant plans any time soon.
Naruto and Sasuke were fighting again.
Naruto was ahead as usual and then Sasuke had to make it worst by catching up to him.
I'm not letting this guy take all the good parts! Naruto thought irritated at Sasuke.
With that thought in mind Naruto ran ahead, looked around and when he heard the slightest noise he threw the kunai.
All of them were so surprised Kitty slapped her forehead.
"Oops it was just a mouse." Naruto said.
"STOP SHOWING OFF there was nothing even there." Sakura yelled.
Then Kakashi spoke up, "Please Naruto, don't use your kunai so abusively, it's very dangerous in the first place!"
Then Tazuna exploded, "Hey you dwarf don't scare us like that!"
Naruto ignored their outburst and exclaimed, "Look there's someone hiding over there!"
"Or is he over there?" Naruto scanned.
"THERE!" Naruto exclaimed just as Kakashi sensed something.
Naruto threw his kunai in the direction.
Sakura, fed up hit Naruto on the head and yelled, "I TOLD YOU STOP IT!"
Naruto holding his head in pain, (Sakura, what a Naruto-abuser) said, "But I really sensed someone there!"
"Liar, cut it out!" Sakura said.
Kitty sighed; Sakura sure likes to pick fights with Naruto…
Kitty followed Kakashi and asked him, "That wasn't a person its steps were too light."
"Correct, let's go find out what it was." Kakashi said.
Kitty nodded and followed him.
"Aw poor bunny…" Kitty said, what is a white snow bunny doing in this hot place?
"Naruto looked at what you've done!" Sakura shouted.
"What it was a rabbit!" Naruto exclaimed.
Kitty was holding the scared-to-death rabbit when Naruto took it out of her hands and said, "I'm so sorry I didn't mean it! I'm so sorry Rabbit."
"It was just a rabbit." Tazuna said relieved.
Kakashi and Kitty on the other hand were looking around, it was not normal to find snow bunnies to be white in this season.
Kakashi figured it must be a pet, kept where sunlight is not present.
So the owner has now appeared. Kakashi thought.
Kitty looked up and she saw a shadowed area in the tree, someone was up there.
The figure looked down he saw many peculiar things.
Below he saw Kitty flipping through her sketchbook. (she got into that position quickly... hmm...)
Sakura was getting annoyed by Naruto.
Naruto was hugging the rabbit and apologizing to it.
Sasuke was bored.
Tazuna was just standing there.
And Kakashi had his back turned on the group.
The figure took hold of his sword's hilt and spoke, "I see why the Demon Brothers level couldn't handle this, for the Hidden Village of Konoha's copy ninja Kakashi the Sharingan is here."
Then quickly he threw his decapitating sword out like a boomerang.
NEXT SCENE
Kakashi sensing this warns everyone to duck.
Kitty was already sitting down, looked up to where the sword had landed and the appearance of the shadowed figure.
I know I've heard about him… he is a missing ninja from the Water Country, the Hidden Mist Village… I can't remember his name though…Kitty thought.
"Oh so you're the exiled ninja, Momochi Zabuza from the Hidden Mist Village." Kakashi said.
Who cares about all this, I'm going in ready… set… go! Naruto runs ready to attack him but.
Kitty stopped him, "That's going way too far Naruto this is no longer our fight."
"Why is that!" Naruto asked.
"This guy is way out or league, we won't last a couple minutes fighting him, or at least you won't." Kitty explained.
Kakashi nodded to Kitty, "Everyone stand back no one is to interfere in this fight."
Everyone nodded except for Naruto.
If this is the guy who were fighting then I can't win like this. Kakashi thought as he reached up for his head protector.
"I'm guessing you're Kakashi the Sharingan user?" Zabuza asked.
Both Kitty and Sasuke gasped, Kitty heard about it but she thought it was a legend, she even thought Sasuke was a legend.
I'm really beginning to wonder, are all what I think are legends true? Kitty pondered as Zabuza spoke, "Sorry but you really need to hand me that old geezer over there."
Sakura was amazed, what does he mean? Is he that strong?
Sharingan? What is that? Naruto thought.
"Everyone form the swastika formation. Don't jump into the battle, doing that you are doing teamwork, make sure you protect Tazuna-san." Kakashi instructed.
Kakashi than reveals his Sharingan eye, Naruto sees it, what's with the eye!
"I'm very honoured to finally see the Sharingan I've heard about." Zabuza said.
Kitty pulled her team mates into the swastika formation so that they protect Tazuna.
Naruto broke free, "What's with this Sharingan!" he asked bewildered.
"Sharingan… the eye creates it, and it is the power the pupil generates. Ones who use eye techniques are said to have the eye powers that can see through Genjutsu, Taijutsu and Ninjutsu and cancel their effects. Sharingan is one of those Doujutsu users' posses. But that is not the only ability the Sharingan possesses." Sasuke explains.
"No there is much more than just seeing through the jutsu." Kitty added.
"That's correct, the scary part though is Sharingan users understand how their opponents use their jutsu and copy it." Zabuza said. "When I was in the assisination group of the Hidden Mist Village I saw your name in my bingo book asking for your capture. It also stated the ninja who has copied more than 1000 techniques, Kakashi the copy ninja."
Is Kakashi that great? Sakura thought bewildered.
"Wow!" Naruto exclaimed.
What is going on? The Sharingan is only a special physical condition passed down on a few members of the Uchiha Clan...could he be? Sasuke thought.
Zabuza tired of the nonsense talking said, "Enough with the chit-chat. I have to kill that old man."
Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura jump into defensive position around Tazuna.
Now they move... Kitty thought.
"But it looks like I have to go through you first, Kakashi." Zabuza commented.
Then Zabuza disappears.
Naruto gasp, "Where'd he go!" he exclaimed.
Sakura screamed, "Over on the top of the waters!"
I know that jutsu; it's the water clone jutsu! Kitty thought.
He's releasing a lot of chakra. Kakashi thought.
Zabuza on the water was performing a jutsu.
"Ninpou…Hidden Mist Jutsu" Zabuza said.
Then Zabuza disappears from them hiding in the arising mist.
"He's gone!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Sensei!" Sakura worriedly screamed.
Kakashi turned to Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto and Kitty, "He's going to come after me first."
"Who is he?" Sakura asked.
"Momochi Zabuza, as a member of the Hidden Mist Assassination Squad he was known for his expertise in silent killing." Kakashi explained.
"Silent?" Naruto questioned.
"As the name means; it's the ability to kill instantly. You don't even notice until your dead. It's not like I can use the Sharingan perfectly so you guys must be careful too." Kakashi explained and warned to his students.
"But then again… if we fail this…it's only death." Kakashi stated.
He's got time to make jokes when our lives are at stake… boy this guy is strange. Kitty thought.
Sakura screamed, "WHAT!"
Kitty sighed. Death you know, not alive, not breathing!
"The mist is growing thicker!" Naruto exclaimed.
No duh! Thanks for the warning Mr. Obvious. Kitty thought
"The wave country is surrounded by ocean so there's plenty of mist everywhere." Tazuna explains.
"Sensei!" Sakura screamed out, as Kakashi disappeared into the mist.
"Eight choices" A voice spoke.
"What was that!" Sakura asked.
"Zabuza, he's thinking of eight different ways to kill us." Kitty explained.
Kitty whispered out the parts as Zabuza spoke them out, "Liver, lungs, spine, jugular vein, cartoid artery, brain, kidneys and heart."
"Now which critical area should I choose?" Zabuza questioned. (But it was a rhetorical question.)
Everyone's faces got serious as the as the mist got thicker.
Kakashi suddenly appears performing a technique that gets rid of the mist.
What incredibly dangerous ki! Sasuke thought, seems like I'll die if I move. That's how heavy this air is experiencing this for awhile could drive a person to insanity. The intensity of the Jounins facing each other, it feels like my life is being squeezed out of me. Argh, I'd almost die now and get it over with!
"Sasuke." Kakashi spoke.
What's up with him? Kitty thought noticing his intensity.
"I'll protect you guys even if it kills me." Kakashi said.
"Who'll protect us afterwards?" Kitty reasoned.
"I don't let my comrades die." Kakashi said.
"If you die, what chance do we have? STAY ALIVE!" Kitty shouted.
Kakashi smirks and nods.
"We'll see about that." Zabuza said.
Zabuza appears in front of Kitty, behind Tazuna and prepared to kill.
Kakashi leaps between them.
Everybody jumps out of the way as Kitty holds on to Tazuna.
Kakashi attacks Zabuza hitting him with a kunai in the gut as the blood… err… water drips.
Another Zabuza appears behind Kakashi.
"Sensei, he's behind you!" Naruto warns.
The water dripping Zabuza turns into a puddle.
"Die!" Zabuza exclaimed as he swings his sword cutting Kakashi in half.
Everyone gasped Sakura closed her eyes, but as the sword slices through, Kakashi turns into a puddle.
How could he have copiedmy jutsuin this thick mist? Zabuza thought.
Kakashi appears behind him pointing the sharpened end of the kunai at his throat.
"Die." Kakashi said, "It's over."
