I finished my own Original Story, it is entirely free and on Wattpad. Check it out, Destiny Rebellions- A Queen's Champion... if you love A Mortal's Might you'll love it. It was inspired heavily by that story and this one. Please check it out and tell me if you love it. I will be publishing it one day, so check it out before I pull it off of Wattpad.

They made it maybe about two miles from the battlefield when the world around them was rocked by a massive rush of water, making the world vibrate with power. Rooku had to lift Tazuna and carry him from tree to tree, grateful for being rather strong. Water, waves and waves of it, crashed into the trees around them, destroying several and making the ground flush. It was actually rather annoying, the shaking and splashing made it harder to flip from tree to tree but somehow he managed it. Just as quick as the water crashed through, it fade, draining away as it's chakra source diminished. Rooku frowned, wondering who was the caster, Zabuza or Kakashi... he wished he could sense chakra freely, but that was a gift he just lacked. Damn bloodlines being the source of everything in the Ninja World

"Should we go back?" Tazuna asked.

"I am not sure,..." Rooku said, hoping to another tree. It was only here that he sensed another presence approaching and he had to put Tazuna down. Turning he flipped out a kunai and readied himself, only to see Naruto rushing towards him. "Kakashi Sensei beat Zabuza but passed out from using that eye of his!"

Growling, Rooku asked. "Prove it's you, Naruto?"

The boy frowned. "What do you mean, it's me, Believe it!"

Sighing, he put away his kunai. " That's Naruto, only you are dumb enough to shout believe it... "

"Why'd you leave us?" Naruto asked, offended.

"We were told to flee, so I did. Keeping the client alive is the point of being a ninja. Plus, I am a medic Naruto, our training informs us to not be killed so we can take care of our allies or client."

Naruto pouted. "Sounds dumb... anyway, I'm a clone... we need to go to Tazuna's house so we can patch up Sasuke and Kakashi Sensei."

"Fine...you grab Tazuna this time, he's heavy."

"HEY!" Tazuna barked out.

They ended up making to back to the spot where the battle had been fought in mere minutes, Naruto carrying Tazuna while Rooku just hurried forward. When they reached the battlefield, Rooku immediately rushed to Kakashi and evaluated him. Placing a hand on him, he pushed a tiny sliver of chakra into Kakashi and was shocked to sense almost no chakra responding. "He has near terminally low chakra levels, we need to get him to safety where we can push fluids and food." Lifting Kakashi, who he was almost taller than. They followed Tazuna the three miles to his home, where Rooku quickly got to work getting Kakashi into shape, laying him to rest in the guest room, bandaging the man's ribs which were highly bruised.

The first thing Kakashi noticed as he started to wake up was a beautiful woman patting his head with a cold washcloth, her face was taunt and pointed and tanned with bluish black hair falling down either side of her face. She smiled at him kindly as she continued to pat his head, her presence warm and soothing,

"Your awake." Her voice was sort of motherly or how he imagined it, just as warm as her chakra. "I wondered if you'd wake up."

He offered her a smile, pushing himself to a seated position. "I've been better but I..." the Jonin froze. "I actually don't feel too terrible, why is that?"

The woman smiled. "The boy, the chubby one, he gave you a potion that he said would help you. Said it was a tonic that would help you to recover."

He smiled. "I am familiar with that tonic, they are only allowed to be administered by medics due to the dosing. It's why I didn't bring one myself..."

Kakashi turned just as his three students plus the new boy came along, all smiling at him. Naruto spoke. "The sensei is awake!"

Rooku smiled brighter than them all. "You look better, you have some color to you."

"Thank you for caring for me, Rooku, I feel much better... I think I'm already a quarter of the way to full power again."

"Not a problem, just doing my duty, sir."

Nodding, Kakashi turned to Sakura as she moved towards him. "Listen Sensei, your Sharingan is amazing and everything but if it puts that much strain on you, maybe it's not worth it."

Rooku sighed. "It's only because it is not natural to his body, if it was he'd have a far easier time. It is siphoning a vast quantity of chakra just by being implanted, without that he'd have at least double his reserves." The boy turned to Kakashi. "So what happened to Zabuza, last I recall before I took Tazuna away, Kakashi was getting his ass kicked."

Cringing, Kakashi explained to the boy what happened to the letter.

The boy listened well, then his eyes widened. "Kakashi... Hunter Ninjas often start out as Healers! We are taught about them in our medical training for that reason... if what you say is true then Zabuza, he might be alive." Everyone gasped.

"Surely you are overthinking this!" Tazuna said.

Naruto gaped. "Yeah, he's right!"

Rooku shook his head and Kakashi followed his line of thought without words. "Senbon rarely kill, they are more meant to disable by poisoning your foes or by hitting pressure points. A Hunter Ninja is a master of anatomy, medics are too. With that skill they could easily disable a ninja with two senbon. I can't do it, it's beyond me, but I know the principle... more than that, Hunter Ninjas are supposed to dismantle the body right there, where it falls to lessen the chance to DNA spreading or them being taken. No... Zabuza has to be alive and based on what you said, he'd recover in,... around seven to twelve days, depending on his vitality."

"What are you all yammering about, you annihilated that assassin?" Tazuna looked confused but again not afraid.

"No, we didn't... Kakashi fought him but he did not kill him. Shinobi can heal almost anything. For example Lady Tsuande, a legendary Kunoichi and healer could save almost anyone from any wound regardless of it being physical or spiritual. She is single handedly responsible for our villages winning of the Second Shinobi war, that was how good she was and her methods are still used today around the Elemental nations. If the Ninja that took Zabuza was a healer, which is likely as Hunter Ninjas start out in medical training, then it's possible that Zabuza is not only alive but still at threat."

Kakashi shuddered. "Can you bolster my healing?"

The boy sighed. " No more than I have, the medicine I gave you cannot be given more than once a week. It is a longer-acting variation of chakra pills, made for people suffering from chakra exhaustion. What you need is rest, a diet high in carbs and protein, and some meditation to soothe your stressed chakra coils."

"Come your over thinking this, aren't you?" Tazuna seemed almost desperate for this.

Kakashi shook his head. " When encountering suspicion the ninja prepares quickly, hesitation brings disaster."

"Sensei you say prepare quickly, but how can we do that and actually manage to fight Zabuza?" Sakura finally spoke up, her voice trembling with either rage or fear." I mean a little last minute training will not make us stronger, I mean you could barely beat him even with your Sharingan."

"Sakura why was I able to stop Zabuza because you've all helped me. Naruto you've grown the most."

Naruto made a hehe sound, before flexing a little, obnoxious as usual. "So you noticed Sensei, everything's going to be better, believe it."

"I don't believe it and nothing's going to get better." An obnoxious voice entered the room alongside a very annoying-looking boy with a large hat on.

" Who are you?" Naruto bellowed.

Tazuna's arms went wide. "Inari where've you been?"

"Welcome back grandpa!" The brat, Inari, rushed over to embrace his grandpa.

"Inari that is very rude." The woman, whose name Kakashi still didn't know, walked over to her son. "These ninjas helped your grandpa and brought him here safely."

Inari frowned. "But mom, don't you see, these people are going to die. Gato and his men are going to find them and wipe them out."

"What did you say brat?" Naruto jumped up.

Rooku sighed. "We are all well trained, have some faith kid."

"Faith is for morons, you're just going to get yourself killed." Turning around, Inari turned on heel and headed out to the door.

"Inari!" Tazuna yelled. " Where are you going?"

"Out to look at the ocean, I want to be alone!" Then he slammed the door like a brat.

Rooku frowned. "Kakashi, what did you have in mind for teaching us?"

The man smirked. "Tree walking."

"You do realize I am a medic, I can already do that..." Rooku's frown deepened. "Wait, you put them on a C Rank without teaching them basic chakra control?"

The man just gave a sheepish grin that left Rooku feeling very, very uncomfortable. The man was showing himself to be very, very incompetent. It was kind of gross actually...

Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.

I think Medical training expands over a lot of things, and I think it fits well here.

Love, your Ninja Overlord,

Mika.
