"Get out of here!" Kakashi yelled from the water prison, "We already lost! No point in you dying!"
Naruto stood up, bleeding from his forehead, his hand gripped around...
"No way, he..." Sakura said as she looked at the blonde.
Naruto tied his headband back on, "Yamo and fear, don't say something so stupid. She is the bravest person I know! And we won't back away from you! I won't lose because that's my ninja way!" He made a cross with his fingers, "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!"
Chapter 7: Battle in the Mist
All around the clearing appeared Naruto's all of them calling out as the charged the Zabuza clone in a pile. "TAKE THAT!" Naruto cried as the tried to pummel the man down. Clone Zabuza swung his massive blade bashing back the clones. As Naruto skidded back he something out of his pack. "YAMO!" He cried out as he threw it to her.
Yamo reached up and caught the metal weapon spinning out the blades of the massive shuriken a grin on her face. The air around her picked up as she hauled her arm back. She was using her father's energy to strengthen her body, a faint pink aura coated her body as she launched the weapon past the clone of Zabuza, "Shadow Wheel Shuriken!" She called out as she finished the spin. The weapon shot out of her hand like a bolt of lightning as it headed right for Zabuza.
The rouge ninja barely had time to deflect it with his sword leaving a large mark on the blade. "Such power!" He called out in shock before he saw something. "When did she!?" He was forced to dodge to the side removing his hand from the water prison as a second wheel shuriken cut open his side. As he skidded back on the water the second shuriken exploded in a cloud of some to reveal Naruto who threw a Kunai with a paper bomb tied to the weapon. He threw it at Zabuza who again deflected the weapon but it was caught by Kakashi now free, he tore off the tag and placed it on the flat of Zabuza's blade before it detonated forcing the missing ninje back.
Back on dry land Yamo was on her feet, charging the water clone with her own sword. The clash of metal filled the woods as she nimbly dodged the attacks and slashed the larger, faster slashes then the larger blade allowed. A wide smile on her face unnerved Sakura and Tazuna who held back. "The way she's fighting, that wound will open back up." Tazuna said.
Yamo blocked a slash making her skid back. "You certainly have potential." Clone Zabuza said as he stabbed his sword in the ground. His hands came up making hand signs.
Zamo started to make her own hand signs, much faster the Zabuza.
"Water style: Water..." Zabuza started.
"Fire style: Wyvern's breath!" Yamo finished hers first, unleashing a torrent of spiral flames from her mouth engulfing the clone in a large explosion. When the smoke cleared there was only a water puddle in the center of a scorch mark.
Over the water Kakashi and Zabuza ran circles around each other, blocking kicks and punches. Zabuza swung with a right hook only for Kakashi to duck under and come up with a uppercut forcing distance between them. "Not bad, you certainly can hold your own, and your student is what one would expect of her father. But this is over now." Zabuza started to make hand signs as he stared down Kakashi.
"He's..." Sakura said in shock.
Kakashi was copying Zabuza sign for sign instantly.
"The power of the Sharingan." Yamo smirked to herself as she relaxed. "It's over."
Naruto pulled himself out of the water just as the two jounin ninja activated their ninjutsu at the same time. "Water style: Water dragon Jutsu!" Twin dragons coiled around the two of them and clashed in the center of them.
Zabuza was taken aback, "Your a pale imitation!"
Kakashi was unfazed, "I am the genuine article, a Jounin from Konoha."
His gaze was upon a image behind the copy ninja, "How? Can you..."
"I can see your fate Zabuza, and you die here!" The two went into a second round of hand signs, but this time Kakashi was faster. "Water style: Giant Water Fall!" A spiral of water rose and exploded infront of Kakashi, flooding the surrounding area carrying Zabuza away into the woods where debris would pelt the man as he was pinned to a tree in the surging waves that tried to drown him.
Yamo and Naruto were quick to follow the water to where the half drowned man stood, Kakashi standing infront of him. "I won't finish you off with a copied jutsu." He made the signs for a lightning release.
Sakura and Tazuna soon caught up, Zabuza glaring at them all with a look of death. "I'll kill you all!" He reached for his massive blade in his last stand, but before any could react, two senbon needles pierced Zabuza's neck. The man fell to the ground, seemingly dead.
"What just..." Naruto started to asked before a voiced directed them all to look up. In the trees was a masked shinobi with the mark of the hidden mist. "Who are you!?"
Yamo just looked up at the boy and a shiver ran through her spine down to her tail. "He did it. He brought down Zabuza."
"How perceptive." The boy said before vanishing and landing by the body of Zabuza. "I have to thank you, if you hadn't kept him distracted I wouldn't have been able to kill him."
"A hunter ninja." Kakashi said.
"Yes, I've been tracking Zabuza for months now." The masked boy said, but his clothes were more feminine the closer they looked at this ninja.
"It's over..." Kakashi said as the hunter ninja stepped towards the body.
"HANG ON! WE WENT THROUGH ALL. GAK HPHHMMHPM!" Naruto started to yell but Yamo grabbed him by the neck and covered his mouth.
"Don't be stupid, even I won't mess Hunter ninja. And there's something else, something more dangerous." Yamo said as she narrowed her eyes as the Boy picked up the much larger body of Zabuza.
"Now, I must do my duties and dispose of the body." The boy said as he vanished in a flash.
That only made Yamo frown more. "Well, let's head to Tazu..." Kakashi said as he covered his sharingan, only for him to fall over, and at the same time Yamo did aswell.
"SENSEI! YAMO!"
Inside Tazuna's home Yamo and Kakashi were resting, "I overextended my chakra with my Sharingan." He explained as Tazuna's Daughter tended to Yamo. "She was physically harmed."
"From how she was moving you wouldn't think that sword had broken three ribs." Sakura said as Naruto looked at the unconscious half Saiyan, her chest bound with bandages.
"Is it? Given what I've seen her father do I'm surprised the sword didn't shatter on her." Kakashi said.
"Sensei, they called her father a Monster? What do they mean by that?" Naruto asked.
"Her father fought in the third great shinobi world war, along side the head of the Uchiha Fuegaku and the man who would become the fourth Hokage. The Yellow Flash, Wicked eye Fuegaku and Jikama, the man who buried a thousand clans, all three had run on sight orders from the other villages. There wasn't a battle front he didn't fight on, and often other villages would use a special type of ninja to hold him back as they retreated, ones that held immense power within them. But he would earn the title of Monster outside of Konoha for his actions in one battle, in the Hidden Mist village he went on a rampage slaughtering their ninja, they even sent members of the seven swordsmen and he killed them, and even to this day the Hidden Mist has remained at war with Saiyans, not Konoha but the clan her father came from."
"But her father was the only known member to ever come to the Ninja Nations." Sakura said.
"That's because their dead." The whole room jumped as a groggy Yamo sat up. "Mom told me what little Dad told her. He said their home was destroyed and so he fled. Mom also said he thinks there's about six other survivors, maybe a few more. He never told her what killed them all, or where they came from. But he said that one may come looking for him."
Kakashi looked... not surprised, but like he expected her to know something. "Good your awake, we need to discuss things."
Deep in space a small dirty cargo craft flew between the stars. Inside the ship was discarded meal boxes in various bins as a small robot fruitlessly cleaned the mess of the ship's other occupant. She wore ratty worn down green skin tight suit, her armored boot tracked mud as she walked in one of the cargo bays converted to a large garden with a hammock, and a rack of tools, in one corner was a large pen filled with furry animals, dense green fur, large back legs and fat bodies and horns growing out over large floppy ears.
There were rows of plants under different different colored lights, their leaves a rainbow of colors. Skirted saiyan armor rested against a pole as the woman walked over to the water supply with a bucket. Her short spiky hair pushed out of her face showed a single large curved scar over one eye and down to her chin. The eye had been replaced with a orange glowing mechanical one.
As she was watering the plants a alarm went off. "Saiyans Detected" The onboard computer relayed as the ship shuddered as something latched on. The woman rolled her eyes as she grabbed her armor and made her way to the section of the ship were four people had broken through the airlock their ship attached to hers.
"Half Saiyans." She said as she looked at the four of them, two had blue skin and white hair and fur, twins. One looked like cross between a Saiyan and a shark, grey rough skin, black hair and beady eyes, sharp teeth.
The one infront was a large muscular man, his skin had a bronze tinge to it, gold hair rolled down his back in waves of spikes. "I'm Captain Zealot of the New Saiyan Pirate empire. I am Half Saiyan and half Titan."
"I'm Alfala, a pure bred Saiyan. And renowned Saiyan hunter." She said as she raised her hand, ki swirling around her hand before blasting a hole in Zealot's chest. He fell to the ground dead.
Before his lackies could react Alfala was on them, the shark like Saiyan she kicked in the head slamming the back of his skull on the metal wall, his face destroyed and blue blood coating the wall.
The blue skinned twins rushed her, but she rounded on the left most one, her fist passing through his chest holding a heart that she crushed. Swiftly she spun avoiding the last one's attack, she got behind him, and wrapped a arm around his neck before twist back on it. The jerking movement broke bones and ripped flesh.
Alfala dropped the head and closed the airlock before returning to her garden. "Jikama... where are you?"
Just something for later on in the story.
