Chapter 14
Battle on the Bridge! Zabuza Returns
(Sachi's P.O.V)
The walk home wasn't too long, no one wanted to talk until we at least got half way and even then it was small talk. Whatever Sakura did for that little boy made her and Tazuna stay deep in thought along with myself as well. I couldn't believe that people were still like that unlike her village.
I looked over at Sakura and by the look on her face she was thinking about Gato and what he has done to this place and why he might need to do it in the first place. Tazuna was thinking about his people and that he wanted to speed up his work to the bridge to bring peace to his people. No, I couldn't read their minds but there faces could tell what they were thinking about.
" Ah, Sakura, Sachi, your home early." Kakashi said as he was sitting on one of the trees and he scared the day lights out of Tazuna and Sakura and they jumped and I chuckled under my breath since I noticed Kakashi way before anyone.
" I was waiting for you to come home Sachi. I wanted you to show me what happened with that justu you told me about yesterday. I'll meet you at the river and you can get changed. Now go, I'll be waiting." He said as he jumped between the trees.
I walked to my room and grabbed a pair of shorts and a tank top like I wore the other day. I walked over to the spot he took me and he was standing right next to the river near the bridge.
" Good, you came. Now focus your chakra and walk across the river, when you get to the bridge I want you to turn your body to water. I'm going to activate my sharingan and analyze what it is and then I'll tell you how to control and maintain it." He said lifting up his headband with his sharingan activated. I nodded and made the hand sign walking steadily on the water, the river was flowing a little faster today. I kept walking until I reached the bridge.
Ok, now i need to focus. I focused my chakra and fused it into the water adjusting it. I opened my eyes and when I looked at the ground my feet was still there. I sighed and tried again focusing my chakra again and my chakra was going into the water and i felt the water adjusting to me and moving at my will, be the water started crawling up my legs and up to my lower stomach.
I looked down again and it was replaced with water. I looked at Kakashi sensei and his eyes were wide with a surprised look on his face and he said, " I've never seen any technique like this. It's powerful, and not easy to master. As you said it turns you body to water at your will but you can change it back at any given time. It needs chakra to keep the jutsu requires more chakra focus than climbing trees or walking on water. " I widened my eyes at what he told me.
" Alright, Sachi. This will be challenging but i want you to try and turn your whole body into water, if you are made entirely of water you might be able to pass through the bridge without ducking. If you can do it go to other end and wait for me to help you to release the jutsu." He called to me. I nodded and closed my eyes, I pictured the water moving up my body and to my surprise, when I opened my eyes almost nothing was left of me with skin. I was all water, I felt the jutsu slipping and I focused harder and I felt myself dropping and i started panicking thinking the jutsu was still going away, I took a deep breath and kept focusing and I was sinking further down and my body disappearing in the water and this made me very nervous.
" Sachi, keep the jutsu going. The water is making your body going into the river and you're becoming one with the river. Try to keep going and see how far you can travel in the water." Kakashi sensei called out and I focused on the water picturing my body becoming one with the river, I felt like I was sinking into the water but when I finally got all of my head into the water, it felt amazing. I opened my eyes and I noticed there was water ripples above me and then I noticed something else that was awsome. I looked at my hand and i noticed the same red ripples all over my body as well.
It was cool to look at the ripples that were playing above the water but the one thing that didn't make since was why were the ripples are red but the only thing that it could be is the fire styles that I know how to do. I looked up above back at the ripples again and then swam towards the ripples and as i moved the water with my hands and the ripples moved with it. And for some reason watching them made my thoughts go at ease and I realized I wasn't even doing the jutsu sign anymore, and it just felt natural. No more chakra was needed, I was just one with the water now. And I started to swimming around the water enjoying myself.
" Sachi! I stopped swimming around and I looked up at the surface and saw Naruto looking for me and not far from behind my brother and Kakashi sensei yelling for my name, I swam over to Naruto and when I saw his hands touch the water, I had the best idea that came to mind. As I got closer to him I grabbed his hands in place and he started to struggle and I held his hands in place, then I brought my face out of the water, which was still water and the red ripples showed as I looked at him. He started to yelling and even saying, " Something has my hands and this thing that is looking at me is scaring me."
" Naruto, stop struggling! It's Sachi." Kakashi sensei said and thats when Naruto started to calm down and as he was calming down he stopped struggling.
" Alright, Sachi I need you to release the jutsu, just imagine yourself making your body go back to normal and make all the water on your body disappear." He said and I nodded my head and I closed my eyes and started to picture my actual body and then all the water started to fall down my body. I started to feel all my limbs coming back and then I opened my eyes once all the water was gone and my body became solid again and I pulled myself out of the water and stood in front of them.
" Sachi, you had us all scared when you didn't come up from the water, Naruto and Sasuke came by to see how you were doing till they heard me calling your name and thats when they came to me and started to look at you." Kakashi sensei said with a look of relief, and I was about to ope my mouth to apologize to them but then I realized how cold I was since I just came out of the river and a breeze just went through so my body is now shivering.
" The one thing that confuses me was before you turned your body back to normal. I noticed red ripples all over your body?" Naruto asked
" I don't know how that happened but I think it's because that I'm a fire element. That's probably why you saw red ripples over my water body." I said to answer his question and i started to shiver again when I felt another wind breeze come through and making me shiver even more and I felt a pair of hands land on my shoulders and I look to see who it was and it was Sasuke. Sasuke looked over at Kakashi and he says, " I think it's time to go guys."
" Yeah, let's go home. Once we get back to the house, we'll get you something warm to wear." Kakashi sensei said as we walked back to the house, Sasuke gave me a piggyback ride since I was worn out from the justu. When we got to the house Tazuna's daughter was cooking dinner and she talking to her father and her son Inari but he had his arms crossed and ignored his mother. Kakashi opened the door for Sasuke so that he can take me to my room but he stopped when he saw Naruto stopped and started to look for Sakura but Sasuke didn't wait for him to say something stupid and goes straight to our room.
Kakashi opens the door for us and then Sasuke placed me on the bed and then goes over to our backpack and pulls out my extra par of clothes and goes over to me and hands them over. I took them and I smiled at him and said, " Thank you every much brother."
" Your very welcome, Sachi. Are you going to come down for dinner?" Sasuke asked as he was at the door waiting for an answer and I looked at him for a while till I looked down to the ground and then I shook my head to him and I looked at with a smile on my face.
" That's alright, I don't think I'm hungry right now." I said to Sasuke.
" Okay, but I'll be sure to come back here later to see how you are doing okay sis?" Sasuke said as he closed the door behind him. I looked at the door for a while till I looked over at the window and I got up and opened the window and it was a perfect view of the river from where I could see. I lost track at how long I was looking out of the window but when I heard the door creak behind me, I turned to see who it was and it was Sasuke again with a cup a tea in his hands. He walked over to me and handed the cup to me and I smiled and I took the cup from him and I walked over to the bed and sat down along with him sitting next to me and I took a sip of the tea and I enjoyed the savoring the taste of the tea but I forgot it was still hot and it burned my tongue a little.
" You okay?" Sasuke asking me as he looked over at me. I nodded my head with my hand over my mouth and then sallowed the tea. And then I looked at him and after we looked at each other for a while we started to laugh a little and then I looked back out the window and then I asked him, " So what did I miss downstairs during dinner?"
" Well Inari got mad and said that we didn't know anything and that we are all going to die. Then after that Naruto was upset with what was said and said he was going out to train." He said and all I did was nod my head to what he said but I smelled something horrible around me and I looked over at him and I saw something wet on his chin.
" What is that smell? Did you throw up?" I asked him as I looked at him confused.
He looked at the ground and not make eye contact and that was an instate yes. All I did was shake my head and got up and told him, " Go brush your teeth Sasuke, your breath just smells terrible."
I nudged him with my elbow towards the bathroom and he just rolled his eyes and groaned under his breath and gets up from the bed and goes to the bathroom to brush his teeth.
I watched him as he goes to the bathroom and then I walked over to the window one more time and I could hear Naruto screaming and grunting out there. I looked back at the bathroom where Sasuke was in and then I moved from the window I changed into the new clothes that he pulled out for me and I went over to the bag and pulled out a piece a paper and wrote something to let Sasuke know where I went and I went over to the window. I jumped over to the trees and kept going till I got to the area to where I was on the tree that Naruto was training on and I saw him running up the tree. But it seemed like he has noticed me yet and looked down the tree and noticed all the marks that he placed on the tree and there were a lot and when he got close to where he marked his last mark and just before he decided to go back down to the ground, he saw me and he screamed and sliped on one of the branches and fell to the ground. I went down there to see if he was okay.
" Naruto, are okay?" I said as I jumped down from the last branch and landed on the ground and knelt down right next to him.
" Yea, I'm alright. Why are you out here?" Ha asked as he slowly got up from the ground and rubbed the back of his head where he fell and then he looked at me in confusion.
" I was coming to see what you were doing out here. I heard that you mad at what Inari said.
He looked away from me for a while from what I said and I thought I said something wrong but then he looked back at me and smiled at me and said, " I'm trying to improve on my training. I'm also trying to prove that little brat that heroes are real and are out there in this world."
" I understand why that would make you mad, but that really won't make any difference if you take it out on the tree. Your anger will destroy the tree, and you won't be able to climb it anymore." I said as I looked at the tree and then got up from my knees and looked back at him.
" Yeah, I got it." He said as he looked down to the ground and I walked over to him and I offered a hand to him and he took my hand and I helped him up from the ground and then I let go of his hand and then walked towards the tree and said, " Come on. I'll show you a better way of doing this jutsu."
" Where are we going? I thought you were going to show me a new way?" He asked as he followed me to the tree.
" Like I said, I'll show you and I won't stop till you get close." I said as I walked over to the tree.
" Oh, ok. So what are we going to do?" He asked as he followed me.
"Well for one thing, don't let the thought of beating my brother come to mind, with you focused on him that you can't control your chakra control." I said as I stood in front of the tree.
" Okay, I can make sure that I won't do that." He said as he nodded his head to me and stood right next to me. I looked at the tree and then I did the hand signs and I focused my chakra to my feet and then I grabbed my kunai knife from my pouch and then I started to run up on the tree. As I almost got to the very top and then I marked where I had stopped and as I was falling down from the tree, I planted my feet on each branch as I went down and then landed right next to Naruto. I looked over at him and his mouth was hanging down.
I smiled and moved a piece of my hair behind my ear," Wow! That was so cool! And the way you did that from up the tree and then come back down to the ground awsome! I'm going to try that as well! " He said pumping his fists in the air. I smiled again at him and he wondered towards the tree right next to the river and he did the hand sign and went up the tree. I went to the edge of the river and looked the horizen as the sun was setting, and I continued to help Naruto with his training for the next two hours till Naruto passed out, and not long after that I passed out as well against the tree.
As I was a sleep I felt the sun on my face and then I heard a small snap and when I opened my eyes and looked up I saw a person standing near me. I was about to grab a kunai knife till I heard the person say, " You're going to catch a cold sleeping here all day." The person said and by the look of this person was a boy with very long hair. And he was smiling at me which for some reason I started to relax around him.
" Yes, thank you for letting me know that." I said as I nodded my head as I rubbed my eyes to clear the sleepiness in my eyes.
" What are you doing out here?" He asked me
" I was just helping my friend with some training." I said to him as I got up from the ground and stretched my body.
" I see. You're friend is still asleep over there, would you like to wake him up?" He asked me as he looked at Naruto.
" Yes, I'll wake him up." I said I walked over to him from where he was landing.
" So how did you end up out here sleeping? Wasn't the ground uncomfortable?" The boy asked me as he watched me as I knelt next to Naruto.
" No, as a child me and my brother would sneak out from home to go outside and sleep out there a lot." I said as I looked over my shoulder at him.
" Oh? And why would you and your brother sneak out?" He asked me and I stopped me from waking Naruto in my tracks for a moment.
" It was family issues." I said as a flashback came to me.
( Flashback to before the clan was massacred)
* Nomal P.O.V.*
" Sachi, you need to come here sweety." Sachi's dad called her and she got up from playing with her brother Sasuke and ran over to him. She was about like seven, as she made it to her father, she stood in front of him and he placed his hand on her shoulder and she said, " Yes daddy."
" I'm going to teach you a new fire style technique. It's call fire style : Fire Ball Jutsu." He said as they started to walk towards the lake with young Sasuke following them quietly.
" Really daddy? You think that I'm ready?" She said as she looked at him with a smile on her face. But noticed Sasuke following behind them sneakily.
" Yes, sweetheart. Are you ready." He asked as they reached the lake.
" Now this is how you do it." He said as he started to do the hand signs and then places his hands together and yells, " Fire style : Fire ball jutsu!"
Then a fire ball came out of his mouth and flew across the lake. His daughter had her mouth wide opened and she started to clapping her hands for her daddy. He turned around to her with a smile on his face and he walks over to her and then said, " Now, it's your turn to do this style. Now go over to the lake and try it."
She slowly walked over to the lake and took a deep breath and then she looks over her shoulder, she could see her father and now her twin brother and her older brother standing off in the distance. She turns back around to the lake and does the hand signs for the jutsu and then she brought her hands together and she yells, " Fire style : Fire Ball Jutsu!"
Only a small Fire ball came out and Sachi was in shock with what just happened and she slowly turned her head to look behind her and she noticed the look on her father's face and all he did was shack his head and he had an angery look on his face.
" I knew I shouldn't have given my hopes up. Your just like your twin brother." He turned his back to her and walked away from her. She froze in place when she heard father say that to her, she couldn't believe that he would give up on her just like he gave up on her twin brother.
She fell to her knees and she started to cry. She didn't understand why her father was so disappointed in her when she just did the jutsu for her very first time. Itachi watched her for a moment till he noticed a single rain drop fellon the ground and he looked up at the sky and it started to rain. He looked at the sky for a while then he looked back down at his little sister, who was now completely soaked from the rain.
He felt a hand on his hand and he looked down and it was Sasuke, he just kept looking at his sister nd he was crying as well, but he wasn't crying for him, he was crying for her. He looked back at his little sister and then he looks back at Sasuke and knelt down next to him and asked him, " Sasuke would you go get a umbral for your sister?"
Sasuke looked up at his brother and nodded his head and ran into the house to get the the umbral. Itachi got off the ground and looked at Sachi and walked over to her not even worried about getting wet. She didn't even notice that it started to rain cause she was more worried about what her father just said to her and then after that all he did was just walk away from her. She then heard foot steps next to her and she looked up with her tear stain eyes and saw her older brother right next to her.
" Now why is my little rose crying?" He asked as he whipped her tears away. Little rose was a little nickname that he gave her since she was born.
" Because I made daddy mad at me and I think that I will never be the best ninja just like you." She said as more tears came down her face and she looked up at him and wrapped her arms around him and she laid her head on his chest and she started crying again but a little harder, as he wrapped his arms around her to comforting her.
He held her close as she cried and he closed his eyes as he rubbed her back to help her stop crying and then he noticed that there was no more raining on him and Sachi but it was still raining. He opened his eyes and looked up along with Sachi and saw Sasuke holding the umbral over them with a smile on his face.
He smiled back at his little brother and then pushed Sachi a little so he could look at her. He placed his finger underneath her chin and lifts her face so he could look at him and then he whipped her tears away and gave her a smile and said, " Don't worry about dad, little rose. Dad is just stressed out and a lot on his mind, okay."
She nodded her head as she rubbed her eyes. He smiled and got onto his feet and then helped her to her feet and he placed both of his hands on her shoulder and says, " Okay, let's go inside and get you a change of clothes, cause I think I know two certine people who's birthday is today."
Both his sister and brother smiled and they went back home with their older brother and they had a great birthday while she didn't worry about what happened between her and her father.
* End of flashback*
" I see." He said as she made it over to him and reached out her hand over to wake up Naruto.
" I could wake him up for you if you want to go home." He said as he nodded towards him, but I stopped myself and I nodded my head and I got off my knees and started to walk towards the house but stopped and looked over at the river and then I walked over to the river and sat down at the edge of the water and I lightly dipped my feet in the water.
I couldn't help but think about past, what did I do to make me father snap at me so much, it wasn't just that time a long time ago when I saw six, but before the massacre, when I was in a happy mood and would try to be nice to him, he would just push her away and didn't want to talk to me or my brother unless he had a lesson to teach me about the family when he was in a some what in a good mood. I would always go to either Sasuke or Itashi because I wasn't able to handle him yelling at me, I didn't want to keep it in, but then again I couldn't.
Some people have a sweet little girl sometimes they expect her to have the perfect life and that she didn't have too much to say. But I couldn't say that at all, my family was always busy with something unless it was mom, Itachi, or my twin brother. Other than that it was dadm who didn't talk to me or my brother much. I thought I had a good family, but I never talked about them and people would pity me and my brother, which we didn't want but it happened anyway.
Yes, it was hard for me to keep in the tears everyday but the one thing that I didn't like too much as a child was pity, but I always got attention from one of them and they would have the responsibility of comforting me. I used to hate how weak I was and I tried to hold it back as much as I could but I wasn't able to keep it up forever.
Mom always said I was a sweet little girl and that I had no right to be yelled at that way from dad.
I never fully understood what I did, but apparently it was big enough to have him snap at me all the time and so much. I felt a hand on my shoulder and then I looked up and I saw my brother Sasuke was standing right behind me.
" Did you forget about breakfast?" He asked me.
" Not really. I've been very busy." I said as he nodded his head in understanding.
" That loser asked me to go find you since you didn't get to the house before him and we started to get worried and he wanted to show you something, if I found you." He said.
" Ok." I said as I got up and I was unsure about what Naruto wanted to show me. When we got the where Naruto was, he was half way up a tree and was relaxing on a branch. I smiled lightly and watched him as Kakashi sensei and Sakura came a little while later.
" Well for one, Naruto could be anywhere and I can see that Sasuke found his sister." Sakura said as a kunai knife came out of the tree and landed in front of Saukra and it scared her. She looked up and saw Naruto up in the tree with a smile on his.
" Woah, Naruto can climb that high in the tree now by using his chakra? That's Awsome." She asked as she looked at Naruto.
" What do you think? High enough for you guys? I mean it's a long way down." He asked as he gets up then his foot slips and he was starting to fall over.
" Ah! Naruto!" Sakura yells as she stepped forward.
" Uh-oh!" Kakashi sensei said as he was about to start running up the tree and grab Naruto from falling.
I was ready to help him but right at the last second before he was going to fall, he used his chakra to stay on the tree. He looks back down at them with a smile on his face and he screamed, " Haha, just kidding! You guys really fell for it!"
" We were worried about you Naruto." Sakura said looking at him with a agitated and crossed her arms acrossed her chest.
" Why do I think this is going to end badly?" Kakashi sensei said as he watched Naruto up there.
" I have that same feeling as well and I hope that it doesn't happen to him." Right as I said that Naruto's chakra stopped and this time he was falling for real.
" Ah! You just had to show off didn't you!" Sakura yelled and then I took off running towards the tree to get ready to grab him but right when I took another step closer to him, Sasuke got there and caught his leg while Naruto was hanging upside down on the tree.
" You really are a total loser Naruto." Sasuke said as his feet was still on the tree while he was holding Naruto's foot.
" Ah-Alright Sasuke! You're the best." Sakura squeled which made me just cross my arms and roll my eyes.
" Well, I see you two have gotten better, good job. What about you Sachi, have you been getting better at the jutsu?" He asked me and I nodded my head to him.
" Good, we're going to head back to the house, you can stay here if you want though." He said as Sakura and him started to leave.
" Hn, I need to practice anyway." Sasuke said bringing him and Naruto down to the ground.
" And I need to be better than Sasuke to prove I'm better." Naruto said.
" Kakashi sensei, you and Sakura head back. I'll watch these guys as they continue with this." I said as Kakashi and Sakura went back as Naruto and Sasuke started to climb up higher and higher, until I couldn't see them. When they came down they were panting and looked exhausted.
" We...we made it to the top." Naruto said holding himself up by holding his knees.
" Good, you can go home if you want. I'll be there soon, I just want to be out here for a while by myself." I said as I started to walk towards the river stream.
As I made my way to the river, I sat down and looking at the moving water. I had a lot on my mind and I wondered what will happen if we ran into Zabuza, what will I do. Will I be able to protect my friends? Will I even be able to protect my brother.
I was so lost in my thought that I didn't even hear four sets of foot steps behind me. A hand touched my shoulder which mad me jump and I didn't realize where my footing was and I fell backwards and then I landed in the water and I hit my head and I blacked out.
* Sasuke P.O.V.*
Me and Naruto was walking home and but I stopped walking as we got close to the house and I turned around to look at where my sister went off to. Naruto did the samething when he noticed that I stopped in my tracks and he said, " What is it Sasuke?"
" I'm just wondering if my sister is okay out there. Maybe I should go and check on her." I said as I started to walk towards the direction to where I last saw my sister go. As I was walking around I was thinking about all the times in the past that me and my sister were little. We smiled and laughed and had fun when our family was alive, but after Itachi took everything from us. Now I hardly see Sachi smile anymore and I'm trying to do everything I can to make her smile like she use to and be happy as well.
I got out of thought when I saw my sister sitting on the ground looking at the river water and from what I could tell that she was in deep in thought that I think that she didn't even hear me. Then Naruto showed up behind me and made me jump a little and I turned to him and asked, " Why did you follow me?"
" I was wondering if she was okay as well." He said as he looked over at her and then he started to walk towards and I tried to stop him but he didn't listen to me and the next thing happened so fast that I wasn't expecting it to happen.
Naruto walked up to her while I was trying to stop him and right when he put his hand on her shoulder, she was out of her thoughts and she jumped up to her feet but then one of her feet sliped and she fell in the water and she didn't come up for a while. I ran towards the water and went in and picked her up out of the water and placed her on the ground.
I leaned over her and checked her head to see if she was okay and she had a little bump on her head but other then that she was okay.
* Sachi's P.O.V.*
I was finally coming to and I heard one voice say, " I'm so sorry Sasuke. I didn't mean to scare her like that."
" You better lucky that she doesn't even have any serious injuries, Naruto. Cause if she did I would have hurt you for what you did." The other voice said and I recognized the two voices that spoke. It was my brother and it was Naruto, what happened earliy. Right I remember, I got scared when a hand touched my shoulder and I fell backwards and I was in the water and I hit my head and I blacked out.
I opened my eyes slowly and I started to sit up and rubbed the back of my head and I looked at both at Sasuke and Naruto and they were yelling at each other and I got up to my feet and I looked over them and stepped bewteen them and they stopped and Sasuke asked, " Sachi? Are you okay?"
" Yeah, I'm fine. What are you fighting about now?" I asked as I looked at both of them.
" I was yelling at him for scareing you and making you fall in the river and hurting yourself." Sasuke said as he looked at Naruto.
" I already said sorry. How many times do I have to say I'm sorry?" Naruto said as he looked bewteen me and Sasuke, and I could tell that my brother wasn't very happy and that he wanted to hit him. I turned to Sasuke and placed my hands on his shoulders and I looked at him in the eyes and I said, " Sasuke, I'm okay. Really, now stop it right now."
He looked at me and then looked back at Naruto and then looked back at me and he wrapped his arms around me and held me close and whispered in my ear, " I just don't want to lose you okay."
I wrapped my arms around him and held him close and I closed my eyes as I held him. We stayed like that for a while and then we let go of each and as I backed away from him a little but then I started to stumble. Sasuke and Naruto came to my side and stopped me from falling down on the ground.
" Hn, I say it's about time we head home together." Sasuke said to us as he looked at me.
" Yeah!" Naruto yelled but then he falls back and he landed on his butt.
" You idiot." He said as he shook his head and looked at me to see if I was okay and I nodded my head and he let's me go of me and goes to Naruto and picks his arm and put in around his shoulder.
" Let's go." I said as we walked to the house together while I tried to keep my balance as I followed him and when we got there I opened the door to let them go through and everyone was looking at us.
" What have you guys been up to? You look like something that the cat dragged in." Tazuna said as he looked at us.
" We made it...me and Sasuke made it to the very top." Naruto said as he looked at the others.
" Good, now we move on, Starting tomorrow you're all body guards for Tazuna." Kakashi sensei said.
" Alright." Naruto said and he started to kick in the air and then fell on his butt again bring my brother down with him.
" You are such a loser." Sasuke said as everyone chuckled and I giggled.
" Alright then, sit down and let's eat." Tazuna said.
" No thanks, I think I'll turn in for the night early." I said and everyone looked at me as I left for my room. I striped off all my clothes and I jumped in for a shower cleaning my hair and body really good, after I was done, I slipped on my pajamas and I brushed my hair and then started to get ready for bed. As I went over to my bed the door opened and I looked up to see my brother and he came over to me and grabbed a hair brush and started to brush my hair like he always does. After he was done brushing my hair I layed down in bed and I closed my eyes.
" Pst, Sachi." A voice called out, and I opened my eyes when I felt someone shaking my shoulder and I saw Kakashi sensei.
" It's time to go. We're going to protect Tazuna at the bridge today, but we are going to leave Naruto cause he is still sleeping." He said and I nodded my head and I got up and grabbed my clothes and went to the bathroom and I got dressed and after I got my clothes on I went to the front door and I noticed that everyone minus Naruto that are ready to go.
" Ok, I'll be leaveing Naruto here. He's pushed his body to the limit, overdoing it as usual." Kakashi sensei said.
" What about you? Are you sure your going to be okay?" I asked him as we got out the door and looked at him.
" Do I look like I'm wobbling? I'll be ok?" He said as he placed his hand on my shoulder and I nodded my head.
" Come on, let's go." Tazuna said as we left walking towards the bridge, and as we got close to the bridge, something caught my attention that made me stop in my place. It was a very stronger scent that came from the bridge.
" Hold on!" I yelled as the scent became a lote stronger as we got close to the bridge.
" What is it?" Kakashi sensei asked as he looked at me and the stronger scent was blood and death, there was so much of it that it made my stomach turn.
" I smell blood." I said and I looked at everyone and their eyes went wide and then we started to run towards the bridge as fast as we could and right in front of us was Tazuna's men laying on the ground with blood everywhere.
" What the-someone was here, someone got to them." Tazuna said as mist was building up and and it was starting to get really hard to see around us. He was here, sooner that I thought he would.
" Sasuke! Sakura! Sachi! Get ready!" Kakashi sensei said as we go into battle stance and circled around the bridge builder and Sasuke and Sakura took out their Kunai knives and I took out my katana.
" Kakashi sensei, it's Zabuza isn't it? Is this the hidden mist jutsu from before?" She asked as she looked around.
' Really Sakura? You can't tell it's him when he did this before?' I thought as I rolled my eyes.
" Sorry I kept you waiting Kakashi. I see you've still got those brats with you, oh. That one still trembling. Pitiful." He said and I glared at him for saying what he said about my brother. I gritted my teeth as a bunch of Zabuza's clones surrounded us.
" I'm trembling with excitement." Sasuke said as I smirked at Zabuza's clones.
" Go on Sasuke." Kakashi said as the clone in front of him launched at him while the others were torn to pieces within minutes.
" Oh, so you could see that they were water clones huh? The brat's have been improving, looks like you've got a rival Haku." He said stepping up with a boy in a mask, but his scent was familiar. Then I noticed that this boy was the one that I met in the woods in I woke up in the woods, maybe it wasn't a good that I left Naruto with him.
" So it seems." He said as we stared them down for a good while. Then he turned his head towards me and I froze a little but then relaxed.
" I remember you, how are you feeling? You look pretty tried, are you sure that you will be able to fight, young one?" He asked me mockingly.
" I can still take you on, no matter what condition I'm in, I'll take down." I said as I pointed my katana at him.
" Let's see how long you will last against me, you brat." He said as he pulled out a kunai knife.
" Enough talk, let's get this started." I said as I got into fighting stance, waiting for him to make a move.
