Akira's POV
"Here is it!" Naruto shouts, throwing the kunai his holding, aiming at Zabuza's face. Zabuza dodges the kunai, causing him to remove his hand from the prison. Blood comes out under Zabuza's right eye. Zabuza tries to throw the shuriken Sasuke throws earlier as Naruto falls.
"You little brat!" He said as he spin the shuriken faster but a hand stops it, intense killing intent can be sense.
Naruto falls to the water as Zabuza has a shocked face looking at Sensei who stops the shuriken. I look at Sensei and see him having a really furious expression looking at Zabuza.
"Kakashi Sensei!" Sakura shouts, a smile on her face. Naruto floats out of the water smiling looking at Kakashi-sensei.
(I'm glad...) I thought with a smile on my face
"Naruto... Your strategy was outstanding. You've grown up... All of you" Sensei praised us
Naruto laughs "The purpose of the Shadow clones was not to take down Zabuza, but to hide my transformation into DemonWind Shuriken!..." He said with a really big smile.
"I left one clone behind, then transformed into Demon Wind Shuriken. Then a clone threw the real me, who had transformed into Demon Wind Shuriken, towards Sasuke! When Sasuke got me, He must have realized right away who I was. then he took out his own Shuriken... And that's the Shadow Shuriken Jutsu! Hidden in the shadow of the real Shuriken, I aimed for Zabuza. Of course, I didn't think I would defeat Zabuza! But I thought I'd destroy the Water Prison and as a bonus, I defeated his water clone, too... It was a huge success" He explained smiling. Then he suddenly looks at me
"And thanks to Akira, because when I saw her try to aim for the original earlier, I realized that the original is more important as our target than the clone... Also, she's a good distraction-dattebayo..." Naruto said the last part with a teasing smile, giving me a thumbs up. I frown at him but can't help the smile forming on my lips.
(Damn, my neck almost break...) I thought holding on to my neck.
"Tch... It's just luck" I said teasing him
"Right, it was just a fluke..." Sasuke said smirking
"It was a fluke, huh!" Tazuna-san shouts not wanting to humble Naruto. I can see Naruto's expression change to a frown looking at us.
"Hmph... I got distracted and broke my Water Prison Jutsu..." Zabuza denied.
"That's not it! You didn't break the Jutsu... They forced you to break it." Sensei said making Zabuza angry.
The atmosphere change making us alert.
"I'll tell you now, the same Jutsu won't work on me twice. So what will you do." Sensei said looking intensely at Zabuza, blood pouring out from his wound.
"Sakura! Akira! stay alert." Sasuke said, Sakura and I nodded, readying a Kunai and positioning in front of Tazuna-san, shielding him.
Zabuza and Sensei stare at each other for a few seconds, before Zabuza make the 4 blades of the shuriken hit Sensei's hand. Zabuza put force on the shuriken, making it cut deeper into Sensei's hand. Sensei then pull his hand and push it again to the shuriken with more force making it fly. Then they both jump away from each other, Zabuza then makes a hand sign as Sensei does the same hand sign.
(Sharingan...) I thought looking at his eyes
Both of them doing the same hand signs
(wow...) I thought, watching the scene, It always amazes me to see others fight, like this
"Tori!" Both of them said after a few seconds of weaving hand signs.
"Water style! Water Dragon Jutsu!" They said at the same time, water in the form of a dragon floated from the water colliding with each other, and fighting with each other. Making the water have a big wave.
"Naruto..." I whispered as the water flooded us. I tried to find Naruto, looking around us. I walk toward him as
"Naruto!" I whispered shout to avoid attracting attention. I hold my hand out for him to reach.
"Akira..." He said reaching for my hand. Once he reach my arm I pulled him out of the water. We both looked in Sensei and Zabuza's direction hearing the clangs of the metals. Sensei holding a kunai to shield him while Zabuza uses his sword pushing it to Sensei. Suddenly I feel someone's presence, A very subtle presence... I look around to see if there is anyone besides us is here
(That's strange...) I thought with a confused expression not seeing anyone.
"Akira, are you okay?" Naruto said making me jump
"nhn" I said nodding at him
(Maybe it was just my imagination...) I thought sighing looking back at the fight.
They both jump away from each other, as they run in circles. Zabuza has a confused look on his face. They both raise their left hand and right hand on their mouth with both two fingers up.
Zabuza looked shocked when Sensei perfectly copy it.
"Same identical movement!" I heard Tazuna-san say from a distance
(We should go to the team...) I thought as I drag Naruto
"Furthermore, at exactly the same time!" Tazuna-san continued, as we reached them
"What's going on, Sasuke-kun!" Sakura asked confused looking at him
"Reading them." We heard Sensei say as he copy Zabuza's movement again, we turn to look at the fight and observe them.
"giving me that barren, evil eye... right?" Sensei said still copying Zabuza's movement
"Hah! You're just copying... You're a pale imitation." Zabuza said but you can see that he is getting annoyed by the situation.
"You won't be able to beat me! You!" They both said with an angry expression, making Zabuza really angry.
"I'll shut that copycat monkey mouth permanently!" Zabuza said as he weaves sign, but he suddenly stops looking horrendous.
"Water style! Giant Vortex Jutsu!" Sensei shouted, his Sharingan spinning.
"W-what?" Zabuza said, shock
Water spinning in front of Sensei appears going towards Zabuza.
"No way!" Zabuza shouts as the water approaches him pushing him in a violent way. Water flooded us again as I hold Naruto on his sleeves. The Jutsu end as Zabuza collided with a tree, four kunai flying in his direction, piercing through his skin causing him to tiredly lean to the tree.
"It's over..." Sensei said from a branch of a tree looking at Zabuza.
"why...? Are you able to see into the future...?" Zabuza said, looking at Sensei
"Yeah... You're going to die!" Sensei said holding a kunai but two senbon suddenly flew in Zabuza's direction hitting him on the neck. Blood poured out of Zabuza's neck, as he fall limply to the ground, making all of us shocked. We look in the direction where the senbon comes from, seeing a person wearing a mask.
"You were right he died" He said with a chuckle
Sensei jump down from the tree to check Zabuza's pulse "He's definitely dead" He said, turning his head to look at the masked ninja
(I've seen that masked before... Tracker... Mist Tracker Ninja) I thought recognizing the mask his wearing
"I thank you... I have been waiting for the chance to kill Zabuza" The mask ninja said bowing his head
"By the looks of that mask...You're a tracker Ninja from the Village Hidden in the mist." Sensei said
"Impressive. You're very knowledgeable." The masked ninja said
"Tacker Ninja?" Naruto said suddenly stepping forward, making my eyebrow twitch.
"You don't know what a tracker Ninja is?" Sakura asked looking at Naruto
"We learned it at the Academy, didn't we?" Sakura continues
"Tracker Ninja pursue... guys like Zabuza who turns against the village where they were born and raised. And when they break away from the village, Tracker ninja go after these Rouge Ninja and assassinate them... in order to avoid having secrets of the village being leaked. That's common Knowledge! You should study more!" Sakura explained
"How come you don't know that, Naruto" I said with my arms crossed looking at him
"You'll get in danger if you don't know even those things" I said making him scratch his neck and laugh awkwardly.
"That's right. I'm a member of Hidden mist Village's Tracking Unit whose mission is to hunt rogue Ninja." The masked ninja said looking at us
"Naruto!" I said when he suddenly ran forward, to get closer to the Tracker Ninja, with a frustrated look. He looks back and forth to Zabuza and the Tracker ninja with clenched teeth
(There's something weird about this tracker Ninja... I can't point it out) I thought walking towards Naruto
"What are you?!" Naruto shouts frustrated. I placed my hand on his shoulder to try to calm him down
"Naruto..." I said looking at him worriedly. He just looks at me with frustration and looks back again to the Tracker Ninja.
"Hey, you!" He said pointing to the Ninja
"Don't worry, Naruto. He's not an enemy." Sensei said standing, putting his hands in his pockets
"That's not what I'm asking!" Naruto said, shoving my hands away, turning to look at Sensei
"I...! I mean... That Zabuza... That Zabuza was killed! That guy who was strong...he was killed so easily... by a kid who's no different from me! We're...We're pathetic! Akira... Akira and Sasuke got almost killed... and this guy..." He said sounding more frustrated.
"I can't accept that!" Naruto shouts as Sensei walks toward us
(It is true... it's frustrating... but there are people who are more talented and powerful than we are... ) I thought, putting my hand in my pocket and looking at the masked ninja, more likely observing him. The masked Ninja tilt his head as if he's doing the same.
(There's really weird about this guy...)
"Well! I understand your disbelief. But... this is, too, is reality." Sensei said who's now behind me. I turn around to look at him as he puts his hand on top of Naruto's head
"In this world, there are kids who are younger than you..." He said looking at me, something different in the way he was looking at me as if his recollecting something.
"and stronger than me." He said averting his eyes to look at Naruto. I turn to also look at Naruto's expression who's more calm than earlier. He just looks at the side with a frown.
The tracker Ninja suddenly vanishes appearing beside Zabuza. Something in the back of my mind clicked, making me sharply look at the Ninja
(What is it?) I thought looking intensely at the Masked Ninja
(What the heck is wrong with my mind) I thought sighing, and relaxing. (I feel like it was in the back of my head.)
"Your battle is over for now. I must get rid of this corpse... because it contains many secret." The masked ninja said, standing up and carrying Zabuza.
"Now then, please excuse me." He said disappearing.
Naruto suddenly goes where Zabuza is a while ago looking around.
"Naruto, they are already gone" I said walking towards him and holding him by the shoulder. He suddenly drops to the ground and starts punching it.
"What was all this for?!" He said with frustration
"Naruto!" I said sternly. He looks at me with frustration and looks back at the ground again
"You... You almost got killed... and I can't do anything and that guy just appears out of nowhere... killing him with ease... it's really frustrating-dattebayo!" He said punching the ground harder.
"Naruto..." I called him again holding on to his arm and stopping his punching
"What your doing isn't gonna change a thing, Naruto. You're just hurting yourself... What Sensei said is true, there are people there who are a lot stronger than us, that's the ninja world... so stop it... I'm okay now... The team is okay now Naruto..." I said with a kind smile. He looked at the ground again, his fist clenching.
"Darn it! I get you hurt and..." He said still frustrated, closing his eyes as he try to calm himself.
"Things like this happen when you're a Ninja. If you're frustrated, apply it next time!" Sensei said placing his hand on Naruto's shoulder.
"Our mission hasn't ended yet. We must take Tazuna-san home." Sensei commanded my teammates nodded their heads.
"So sorry, everyone! You can rest at my house!" Tazuna-san said with a really big smile.
Sensei turns to look at me and was about to say something reaching his hands when he suddenly collapsed, making me shock. I quickly took a step forward to catch him
"Sensei!" I said, looking at him, his face having a painful expression.
"Sensei!" Sakura and Naruto shout walking toward us
"I see..." I said sensing his chakra
"What is it-dattebayo?" Naruto said looking at Sensei worriedly.
"He exhausted his chakra" I said looking at the team, as their face changed from worried to relieve
( A person who isn't an Uchiha using the Sharingan, makes their Chakra depleted quickly. He overused his eye...) I thought looking at him worriedly. I sighed and avert my eyes to look at the team
"Well, as Sensei said we should get going" I said looking at the team, they nodded and help me stand up Sensei.
(He's kinda cool... I guess) I thought as we started to walk helping each other to carry him.
