Chapter 8: Demon Hiding in the Mist
Their puny dreams mean nothing to me, I have higher ambitions, I will squash all who oppose me
Zabuza, the Demon of the Mist
"So you're Zabuza, the so called demon of the bloody mist," Kakashi said as he uncovered his sharingan.
"And you're the copy ninja Kakashi of the Leaf's elite assassination squad." Zabuza replied.
"You're out numbered," Zabuza Feneris stated, "there is no way you can take on all of us and win,"
"That's why I brought reinforcements." Zabuza said smugly as two ninjas with scratched mist forehead bands jumped out of the trees."
"Everyone guard Tazuna at all costs." Feneris instructed as he drew two swords from sheaths at his belt.
"Heh, try your best." Zabuza said as he preformed a series of had seals. "Hidden mist jutsu."
Thick mist rolled over the field obscuring everything within. Naruto tensed, he never liked it when he couldn't see his opponent then one of the ninja burst out of the mist spinning a large windmill shurikin on his hand. Naruto jumped over the shurikin and made 2 shadow clones he charged at the ninja who released the shurikin. It shot at Tazuna until Sakura stopped it in mid air with her newly developed telekinesis. Haku shot two sebon at the ninja grazing his arm while Gaara created a windmill shurikin of sand and launched it at the unfortunate ninja who dodged out of the way only to be faced with Naruto's clones, lashing out with a kunai he dispelled the clones and slashed Naruto across the chest. Only to see Haku launch a spear of ice at him rolling out of the way, the ninja flashed through a series of hand seals and created 10 water clones, Shino then sent out a swarm of bugs that drained the clones of chakra and reduced them to puddles of water. Only to have the ninja disappear into the mist. Meanwhile Feneris and Kakashi were engaging Zabuza and the other ninja, but the thick mist made it impossible to see anything.
"So Kakashi, Zabuza is the master of the silent killing technique, right?" Feneris asked.
"That is right, even the sharingan cannot totally neutralize it." Kakashi replied
Feneris listened for a few moments then said, "Channel chakra into your ears Kakashi, and you'll find that even the demon still makes noise."
Kakashi listened for a few seconds then his eyes went wide. The sound of clashing metal could be heard through the clearing. When the mist cleared Kakashi stood with his kunai at the other shinobe's throat, and Feneris had blocked Zabuza's sword. Zabuza had a look of surprise on his face showing that, that hadn't happened before.
"What's the matter Zabuza?" Feneris taunted, "Never been beaten before?"
Feneris then pushed Zabuza's blade upwards then charged at the opening available to him plunging his blade into Zabuza's chest. To his surprise instead of blood, water gushed out of the wound.
"A water clone." Feneris thought.
Then Zabuza's sword came out of no where and cleaved Kakashi in half, the body turning into water.
"Another water clone Kakashi?" Zabuza said as he sprung from a nearby lake.
"You guessed it." Kakashi replied jumping out of the lake as well. Kakashi flashed through a series of hand seals, and then said. "Water Blast Jutsu."
Meanwhile as the mist lifted the rest of the group saw Kakashi and Feneris, fighting Zabuza and the other mist ninja. They also saw the mist ninja they were facing throw some shurikin at them a wall of sand rolled up in front of the missiles' path stopping them in their tracks. Kiba and Naruto charged the ninja as the sand cleared.
"Feral Sprit Jutsu" they both yelled as their finger nails turned into claws, their canine teeth became more pronounced, and their eyes developed slits. Charging at the ninja they slashed with abandon while Akamaru and Warufuzake had surrounded the ninja. When he ninja made a move to escape Naruto preformed the fox and the fire breather seal, and yelled.
"Fox Fire Breath Jutsu."
Only instead of him breathing fire, Warufuzake let out a blast of green flames from his mouth. The ninja got singed from the flames and used a replacement jutsu to escape.
Meanwhile, Feneris was engaging the other ninja who had produced a pair of sais. Both combatants flew at each other as they blocked, countered, and slashed at each other. One of Feneris swords flew from his hand as the ninja twisted his sai to disarm him.
"Hellish Fireball." Feneris said as his unarmed hand was cloaked in black flames. The ninjas eyes widened as Feneris chucked a black fireball at him. When the smoke cleared a circle of charred ground stood. Spinning around he blocked a strike that was centimeters from his face, calling on his psiconics he caused his sword to fly back to his hand. Then a log turned into the ninja that was fighting Naruto and his teammates. As Feneris's mind registered the new threat he already mouthed out a spell. Thorny vines shoot out of the ground and wrapped around the ninja's legs, the ninja screamed in pain as the thorns torn the nerves and muscles of his legs to shreds. The other ninja then slipped his sai through the scales of Feneris's armor and stabbed him in the gut. Feneris yanked a small vital out of his pack and drained the contents the blood staining his armor stopped flowing from the wound.
With Kakashi and Zabuza they were still fighting, Kakashi's Water Blast Jutsu had slowed Zabuza somewhat but the giant sword wielder still was fighting with all his strength.
"Enough, I'm ending this now Zabuza." Kakashi said "time to die." Kakashi then preformed a long series of hand seals.
"Supreme Water Vortex Jutsu"
A giant cyclone of water appeared on the lake soon a giant flood of water poured over the clearing. Feneris wrapped his cloak around his body, the green fabric becoming heavy gold. When the water cleared Zabuza and the two ninja were gone. Kakashi was standing on the lake, and Feneris's cloak turned into green cloth again and revealed a grinning Feneris.
"You missed him Kakashi," the soaked elf replied
"Yes we better be careful," Kakashi said, "Tazuna lets continue on to your house."
The group then walked of on their lookout for more of Zabuza's minions.
Hiding Spot in Forest
Zabuza and the two ninja poofed into existence, one ninja's legs were torn to bloody shreds. Zabuza looked at the injured ninja and sneered. "Weakling, such scum as you have no place among this group."
Raising his sword above his head he brought it down on the injured shinobe's head and the ninja in Zabuza's band was reduced by one. Taking a small note out of his pocket he smeared some blood on it and tossed it on the corpse soon a large flock of crows descended on the corpse and picked it to bones, by the time they were done Zabuza was long gone.
