Chapter 6: The Battle of Wave
Team 10 was jumping from tree to tree the faster they can towards Wave. But for the genins the reason is still unknown.
"Sensei?" Ten-Ten asked and Asuma let out a 'Hmm'. "Why exactly team 7 needs backup?"
Asuma sighed still moving from tree to tree and said "They seemed to encounter stronger opponents than expected, A Class Nuke-Nin, to be precise and Kakashi might need some help to fight him off, and even more if that nin have some sort of help."
Ten-Ten nodded already wondering who they would have to fight and Naruto that seemed to have the same question asked "Does this Nuke-Nin have a name?"
Asuma nodded with a frown "Zabuza Momochi, the demon of the mist."
At the name Ten-Ten let out a little scream hearing the name from his dad and not listening so many good things about him.
Shikamaru frowned "Why is he involved in a C-Rank mission?"
Asuma frown didn't disappear "It seems that the client tricked us so he could pay less for a higher rank mission."
Naruto frowned now "But if the mission rank is wrong why they don't come back instead of we going there to help them out?"
Asuma lifted his shoulders "I don't know." The rest of the trip was in silence and each one of them wondering what will happen now.
*At Tazuna's House*
Team 10 arrived to find team 7 resting in Tazuna's, The bridge builder, House. There was also Tazuna drinking sake and a woman in the kitchen cooking.
Sasuke was the first one to notice them and to try to get away of the fangirls that were so close to him he stand up and went to his friends. "Long time no see."
Naruto grinned and Shikamaru let out a 'Troublesome Uchiha' but he said it with a smirk.
Asuma interrupted the friend's reunion with a cough "It's great the friends are back together, but I need to talk with Kakashi."
"Yo." Kakashi said from the stairs, slowly coming down and his team rushed to help him.
"It seems you received it hard. " Asuma joked and Kakashi chuckled.
"Not that hard, it was only overuse of my sharingan."
Asuma chuckled before turning serious. "Mind telling what happened?"
At that, Tazuna almost choke on his sake, and looked down in shame.
Then team 7 started to tell them what happened. From the demon brothers that they met before getting in Wave and the encounter with Zabuza, and the mysterious hunter-nin that took Zabuza's body with him before Kakashi could kill him.
Team 10 nodded and Naruto said "So Zabuza is still alive..."
This shocked team 7 minus Kakashi. "What are you saying baka! We just told you that-" Sakura started but was interrupted by Shikamaru.
"Senbons aren't the best options to kill. They are better use to in mobilize." Shikamaru explained and Ino was about to counter when Ten-Ten talked
"They're right you know? My dad is a weapon expert, and he taught me that senbons aren't that lethal. And in certain points of the body like the neck, it can put someone in a dead like state."
"That's correct." Kakashi told them "That's why we need to prepare for them to come back."
"C-Co-Come back?" Sakura asked and Kakashi nodded.
"If Zabuza is alive, he'll come back sometime. I would say, in a week."
"The day that the bridge is finished..." Sasuke said and they nodded.
"Exactly, so tomorrow we start training. No go to sleep." Kakashi said and everybody went to their respective bedrooms. Or whatever space they have to sleep.
*Next day*
The next day both teams started their training. Team 7 started the tree climbing exercise while team 10 the water walking exercise.
Naruto already knowing both was put as guard while the workers worked on the bridge.
Naruto was sitting on the edge of the bridge his legs hanging and he was thinking about his life.
About the jealousy he felt against his brothers, to the Jioungu incident, to his teachings from Orochimaru, the meeting with Temari...
Thinking about her makes him feel weird in some way. It is hard to explain but it makes him happy. He might just ask that to someone else later.
'Maybe Asuma-sensei...' He tough in his head.
"Mind if I seat here?" Talking about the devil.
"Sure sensei." Naruto answered looking at the water while Asuma sit down next to him and took a drag of his cigar.
"There is something I need to ask you" Asuma said and Naruto looked at him.
"What is it?"
"It is about your family. How is your relationship with them?" Asuma said and Naruto looked back to the water with a sad face.
"It could be better."
"That doesn't give me an answer you know."
With a sigh Naruto answered "It isn't great but it isn't horrible. But..."
"But?" Asuma said with a raised brow.
"It wouldn't kill them to pay more attention to me." Naruto said and Asuma frowned.
"You know, something similar happened to me." This caugh Naruto attention who looked at him but didn't say anything.
"I am what is consider as a rebel son. And my old man, the Sandaime didn't like that. But what he didn't know that I was asking for his attention. Because during those time he was more focused on the Sannin than me. And that made me mad. So the day that I was invited to join the 12 fire guards I accepted, just wanting my dad to stop me. He didn't do anything but give a nice goodbye and good luck. I was pissed. Some years later I recived a letter from the Yondaime, telling me that my dad died. Even after all that happened between us, I cried a lot. Because I could never tell my dad, I'm sorry for being an asshole and I love you dad."
At the end Asuma wiped a tear that leaked out of his eye and Naruto was thinking again. "And how does that relates to me?"
Asuma smiled sadly "That I don't want that what happened to me, occurs with you."
Naruto nodded "Thanks sensei, I'll take that to mind."
Asuma nodded with a smile and was about to leave when Naruto asked "Have you ever be in love before?"
Asuma was surprised by the question but still answered "Yeah, in fact, I'm in love right now."
Naruto smirked "With Kurenai-sensei?"
Asuma opened his mouth and closed it trying to think of a comeback but nothing came as Naruto was laughing at his Sensei distress.
"Oh, shut up. Is the same for you with that Temari girl." Now Naruto blushed and look away.
Asuma smirked "So you do."
"Shut up chain-smoker-sensei." Naruto said and Asuma chuckled. The rest of the day was in
comfortable silence.
*Some Days Later*
Both teams, their sensei, Tazuna and his daughter Tsunami were all in the table eating.
Their training had gone well and they are ready to face Zabuza. That it will probably be tomorrow.
Naruto, Sasuke and Shikamaru were catching up, the girls were talking about a little bit of everything (Ino and Sakura added Sasuke in some parts) the jonin senseis were talking and Tazuna and Tsunami were talking. Everything was fine until...
"Why do you even bother?" Came a voice of the stairs and everyone turned to it and saw Inari, Tsunami's son.
"What do you mean?" Ino asked and Inari frowned.
"Why do you even bother training and asking for backup, if at the end you are all going to die!" Inari screamed and the girls and Inari's family looked shocked.
"Inari!" Tsunami screamed at her son but he ignored her.
"Is the truth! Everyone that faced Gato end up dead!" He screamed and Naruto had enough.
"Shut up." He simply said and the kid glared at him.
"You shut up! You don't know what pain is! You all come from a ninja village where everything is great! So-" He was interrupted by Naruto.
"I said shut up, brat. I don't know what happened to you and I don't care. We all have our own stories. So, stop whining and continue living!" Naruto screamed at the end and then he stormed out of the house while Inari ran towards his room.
Sasuke and Shikamaru were about to check on Naruto but Asuma stopped them. "Let him cool off."
*The next Morning*
Naruto had fall asleep outside last night after destroying a lot of trees out of frustration. When he starts feeling the rays of the sun hit his eyes he slowly opened his eyes to see a beautiful girl in a green kimono recollecting some herbs.
So, being a gentleman, he stood up and went towards the girl "Need help?" He asked and the girl looked at him and smiled softly at him.
"I would appreciate that thank you." She said sweetly and they both started picking herbs.
After a while the girl introduced herself "I am Haku by the way."
Naruto smiled "Naruto Namikaze."
"So, you are a shinobi?" She asked and Naruto nodded.
"That's right and you are?"
She giggled "Just a normal civilian picking herbs for a friend."
Naruto nodded and they continued picking herbs when they were done Haku was about to leave when Naruto said "Say hello to Zabuza from my part."
Then he left a surprised Haku that went to tell what happened to his master.
*Later that day*
"So, what's the plan?"
That was a question. They knew that Zabuza and his helper will attack tonight. So they need a plan.
"Can we just all go to fight Zabuza?" Ten-Ten asked and Asuma took a drag of his cigar.
"We could, but probably Gato might target Tazuna's family so, some will stay guard here."
"Who?" Sakura asked Kakashi eye smiled.
"Sasuke and Naruto."
Everyone included Asuma looked at him shocked "What?" Asuma asked.
Kakashi still eye smiling "Sasuke and Naruto will stay."
Shikamaru decided to butt in "Those two the best to fight whoever that comes with Zabuza. Why stay here?"
Kakashi took out his book and start reading it while answering "Exactly, I can guess that the others can weaken it or even defeat whoever that comes. So when Naruto and Sasuke comes, it will caught him or her by surprise."
Everyone but Naruto and Sasuke nodded and before they could complain Shikamaru said "It sounds good to me." The Namikaze and Uchiha knew better that to complain to their Nara friend.
"Fine, we're staying." They both said looking down.
"Good! So everyone but Naruto and Sasuke go to the bridge. And you two do a good job." Then everyone but the mentioned left.
"This suck." Naruto complained and Sasuke nodded before standing up.
"Might as well check out the perimeter." Naruto nodded and both gennin headed out.
They started walking around the surroundings of the house in silence trying to catch anything suspicious.
"So we just need to kidnap the family?" They both heard someone say that and they got closer, they hid themselves in the trees and saw four thugs walking towards the house
"Yeah, but if the daughter is hot we can have our way with her." Another said and they all laughed and Sasuke had enough and was about to jump to fight, but Naruto hold him.
Sasuke gave him a look and Naruto looked serious at the thugs "I'll take the two of the right and you the two of the left."
Sasuke nodded and jumped to the air and made handseals. While Naruto jumped down made some handseals and push his hands against the ground.
"Katon: Hosenka no Jutsu! (Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Jutsu)" Sasuke scremed calling the attention of the thugs that looked up to see a barrage of fire balls coming their way.
"Doton: Doryuso! (Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears)" Naruto screamed and from the ground spikes emerged going to his side of the thugs.
They didn't have time to blink before both attacks hit them. The spikes impaled both thugs, killing them, while the fireballs hit one thug in the chest and head killing him while the other received them in one arm and one leg leaving it with 3rd degree burns.
Sasuke was in shock. They just killed 3 people. Three human's lives'. He became a murderer.
Naruto noticed this and shook his shoulder. "Hey, you okay?"
Sasuke shook his head "No! We just killed them!" He screamed at him but Naruto stayed calm.
"It was them or us. They are the bad guys that we need to defeat. I know it is hard but we, as shinobi, need to deal with this. Because it will not be the last time we kill."
Sasuke nodded slowly before answering "How do you live with this?" He asked already knowing when he was forced to kill that Iwa-Nin.
Naruto let out a sigh "You need to find some way to deal this your own way. If you need I can help you." He said with a smile and Sasuke nodded still shocked.
"E-Excuse me..." A soft voice said and they turned to see Inari looked scared.
"Inari." Sasuke said softly and Naruto got at his eye level and looked at him at the eye,
"Inari. We need you to get as much people to fight. The revolution against Gato, starts and ends today. Can you do that?" Inari nodded quickly and Naruto smiled "Great! Now go." Then Inari took running towards the town.
"You are idiots..." The survivor thug said to them and they looked at him "Gato is going to kill everyone and you can do nothing about it."
"Oh shut up!" Naruto said and kicked him at the head knocking him out, then he and Sasuke tied him up to a tree and left running towards the bridge.
*At the same time at the Bridge*
When The rest of team 7 and 10 plus Tazuna arrived at the bridge, it was covered by mist and dead bodies. Tazuna looked horrified.
"T-Th-They are all dead!" Tazuna screamed and it was heard a chuckle.
"Yes, and you're next." Zabuza said coming out of the mist, sword at hand supported on his shoulder and by his side it was the fake hunter-nin.
"Okay, Asuma and I will take on Zabuza, Shikamaru and Ten-Ten will take on his helper, and Sakura and Ino will protect Tazuna." Kakashi said taking out a kunai and lifting his headband showing his sharingan eye wile Asuma took out his knives.
Ten-Ten was about to attack when Shikamaru grabbed her arm. "We need a plan." Ten-Ten nodded and Shikamaru looked at Ino and got an idea.
"Okay, we are not heavy fighters so we just need to wait for Naruto and Sasuke, so in the meantime let's try to capture him. Ten-Ten, you distract him however you can, while I try to capture him with my Kagemane no Jutsu. When that is done, Ino take over his body and there we tie him up and go help the senseis. Sakura prepare if anything goes wrong. Understood?" Everyone nodded and Shikamaru smirked. "Let's go."
Shikamaru and Ten-Ten walked slowly at the masked nin who had a calm composure. "Please leave. I don't want to be your killer."
Shikamaru smirked "That's our line." Then Ten-Ten opened a scroll that threw a barrage of shuriken and kunai towards the masked nin.
But what they didn't expect was the speed he had. In the blink of an eye, faster than the weapons thrown he was next to Ten-Ten and hit her on the gut sending her some feet back.
Shikamaru widen his eyes already seeing his plan failing "Ten-Ten!" He didn't have time to do anything as now the masked nin was at his side, senbon at hand, ready to stab him.
And he did.
The nin stab the senbon on his knee making him bent down on his knee. There the nin kicked him square on the face sending him crashing against a wall.
He got himself together and pulled out the senbon from his knee but when he looked up he saw the masked nin pointing a senbon to his neck. "Please give up. Or I'm afraid I will have to kill you."
But for his good luck a kunai was thrown to the nin from part of Ten-Ten that got back up, the nin grabbed it and that moment was enough for Shikamaru to roll away and throw 6 kunai with explosives tags to the nin, that they exploded some few meters away from him.
Shikamaru was sit down holding his hurt knee that started to bleed and smirked "Got ya."
"Not quite." He heard behind him and rolled to the front and stand up, standing the pain of his knee.
"But I have to admit that you almost got me in that last attack." The masked nin admitted before rushing towards him with senbon at hand pointing towards his neck.
Shikamaru ducked the attack and tried to take him down kicking his legs, but the masked nin jumped at time and threw even more senbon at the Nara that dodged by jumping out of the way with some impulse from pushing himself from the ground.
Shikamaru landed on his hurt leg and hissed of pain but managed to throw another kunai with an explosive tag, and because the masked nin was still in midair he couldn't dogde the attack. Knowing this the nin made one handed handseal, surprising the gennin and an ice mirror was created in front of him protecting him from the explosion.
Shikamaru showed surprise "I-Ice?"
The mirror broke showing that the nin nod "Yes. My bloodline the Hyouton permit me create ice out of thin air. Now you see why you can't defeat me?"
Shikamaru frowned. 'This guy was already hard to catch due to his speed and he is also great at taijutsu and have great accuracy. Now a bloodline? This seems bad...' Shikamaru thought.
"If you give up now, you will all leave with your lives. This is your last chance." The nin warned but Ten-Ten threw at him another barrage of kunais all with explosive tags.
The nin saw this coming and move out of the way quickly before the explosion occurred. When it occurred it got some nearby boxes on fire.
"If that is your answer..." The masked nin said before throwing a barrage of senbon at Ten-Ten that widen her eyes thinking she couldn't evade them in time. Luckily...
"Kagemane no Jutsu! (Shadow Imitation Technique)"
At that Ten-Ten shadow connected with Shikamaru's that using the light of the burning boxes managed to create the technique. Once controlling Ten-Ten body he made her jump out of the way and she hit the railing and sit against it tired and still afraid.
She looked at him with a smile "Thanks!" But Shikamaru was frowning.
"Don't thank me yet." He said and the masked nin turned to him.
"So I guess the head must go down first..."
He threw him a barrage of senbons that he managed to dodge the most part but at least 4 senbons hit different parts of his right arm numbing it. Plus he landing once again on his bad leg make him bent down in pain. He looked at the nin that was just looking at him.
"Nara-san; Why do you fight?"
Shikamaru looked with defiance at the nin "For my friends and village."
The nin nodded "Then you can go knowing you died for what you believed in." He was about to throw another barrage of senbons but jumped back to avoid the kunai and shurikens that fell from the sky.
Shikamaru looked back and saw Ten-Ten still resting at the railing, but she was smiling.
He looked back at the nin and in front of him landed Naruto and sasuke that got in their respective fighting positions.
Naruto/Sasuke-kun!" Screamed the girls glad that back up arrived.
Shikamaru smirked "You took your time."
Naruto and Sasuke looked at him and smirked back "It was a long way." Sasuke said.
"Go and rest Shika. We got it from here." Naruto said and Shikamaru let out a sigh of relief and sit down and started to pull out the senbons from his arm.
Naruto then turned to the nin "Hey Haku."
Sasuke eyed to him "You know him?"
"Her." Naruto corrected him and Shikamaru groaned.
"I got beat by a girl." He complained while taking the last senbon out.
"Whatever let's go." Sasuke said and Haku sighed.
"I don't want to fight you Naruto-san."
"Me neither but you left me no other choice." Naruto said with a sad smile.
"Then please forgive me. Makyo Hyosho (Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals)" Haku said and both, Naruto and Sasuke were trapped in an ice dome with Haku.
"Shit." Shikamaru said trying to get up with help of Ten-Ten and Ino and Sakura came to them.
"We were useless..." Ino said looking down but Ten-Ten squeeze her shoulder.
"Everyone but Shika was."
"When did you get so good at fighting? I remember you being a lazy bum at the accademy." Sakura asked and the Nara heir smirked.
"It happens when an idiot drags you to train."
Ten-ten sighed remembering his teammates antics and looked at the dome "Now what?"
Shikamaru frowned "We hope they beat this guy."
"Girl."
"Shut up."
*Kakashi and Asuma vs Zabuza*
Asuma blocked once again a slash that Zabuza tried to give him with his Trench knives covered in chakra. "This is going nowhere."
"We just need to keep pushing." Kakashi said before the air started to get cold and Zabuza let out a chuckle. They looked around and saw an ice dome at the part where the gennins where.
"It seems that your brats are done for." Zabuza stated before Kakashi and Asuma glared at him.
"What do you mean?" Kakashi demanded.
"That is Haku's best technique. Once your trapped inside, you will leave without your life." Zabuza said sadistically and the Konoha jonin frowned even more.
"But, I see the brats outside so I wonder who is inside?" Zabuza said and Asuma eyes widen while Kakashi narrowed.
"Naruto and Sasuke..." Kakashi muttered and Zabuza laughed.
"So those were their names, interesting." Zabuza said already declaring both gennin dead.
"We need to end this quick." Kakashi stated and Asuma nodded.
"Agreed." Then he put away his trench knives and Kakashi raised a brow.
"What are you doing?" Kakashi asked.
"Giving up already?" Zabuza asked in mocking way but Asuma smirked and lifted his right sleeve to show a summoning tattoo.
"Just going to use my father legacy." Asuma said and bit his thumb to draw blood and press it against the tattoo.
"I won't let you!" Zabuza screamed as he sprinted towards Asuma ready to kill him but he was to late.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu! (Summoning Jutsu)" Asuma screamed and smoke appeared. Zabuza was about to slash him but the sword was intercepted by a big, thick, black bo staff that was being held by Asuma.
"What the?" Zabuza wondered out loud.
"Is that?" Kakashi asked recognizing the staff and Asuma nodded smiling.
"Yes, this is Enma, the monkey king, My father summoning. And I'm going to honor his name by defeating you with this!" Asuma said and a chuckle was heard from the staff.
"That is the spirit young Sarutobi! Now let's defeat this fool together!"Enma screamed and Asuma smirked.
Using the staff he push the sword up and before Zabuza could get it back together Asuma kicked him pushing him back. Using that opening Kakashi jumped trying to kick him again but Zabuza blocked the attack with his sword and pushed Kakashi back and went back to Asuma.
But Asuma swing at his leg but Zabuza jumped on time, but Asuma pulled back the staff and swing down the staff to hit him on the head but Zabuza predicted this and managed to block the attack, but because the strength of Enma, zabuza was pushed to the floor, landed on his back and even cracked the floor a little bit.
Zabuza pushed away the staff and jumped away and stabbed his sword on the ground. "Let's see how you deal with this!" Then he started to make handseals but Kakashi that got back up started to copy him and then they both shout.
"Suiton: Suiryudan no Jutsu! (Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet)" They both screamed at the same time and two water dragons appeared from the water below and went to clash against each other.
"Asuma! Now!" Kakashi screamed and Asuma nodded, put the staff on his back, and started to make handseals.
"Katon: Haisekisho! (Fire Release: Burning Ash Pile)" Asuma screamed and shot a cloud of ash towards Zabuza that got engulfed in it. Zabuza noticing something was wrong jumped back and tried to grab his sword.
But it was too late.
The cloud exploded sending Zabuza a good meters back with some burnings, due that he managed to avoid big part of the explosion, but he dropped the jutsu so when he landed, Kakashi's water dragon crashed against him sending him flying back.
He tried to stand back up, but he failed. He wasn't 100 percent healed from last time and the hits of the staff, plus the explosion and know the dragon took his toll.
"Stay there. We got even more, y'know?" Asuma asked getting his hands on the staff once again.
"You lost Zabuza." Kakashi stated and Zabuza barely stood up and it seems he was going to fall at any second.
Then an explosion was heard and they turned to the ice dome. They saw Shikamaru and Ten-Ten jump to the right while Ino and Sakura jumped to the left to avoid the gigantic ball of fire that destroy almost half of the dome. Then the dome destroyed itself. Zabuza knew what that meant.
Haku lost.
"No..." Zabuza whispered and Kakashi saw the opening.
"Asuma now!" Kakashi screamed and Asuma nodded.
*Some Minutes Before, Ice Dome*
Naruto and Sasuke were trapped in the Ice dome that was full of ice mirrors. "What is this?" Naruto asked and the Image of Haku appeared in a mirror in front of them.
"This is my ultimate technique. Give up now, or suffer the consequences." Haku said and Sasuke smirked.
"If it is ice, I can melt it." Sasuke stated and made the handseals for...
"Gokakyu no Jutsu! (Fire Release: Great Fireball technique)" Sasuke screamed and from his mouth he threw a ball of fire towards the Mirror that Haku was. Haku disappeared from the mirror and the fireball crashed against the mirror just for nothing to happen.
"What?" Sasuke asked shocked and Naruto narrowed his eyes.
"It is useless." Haku said from a mirror from behind them and threw a barrage of senbon at their back.
They all hit. Sasuke screamed of pain while Naruto grunted not really feeling that much because Jioungu, thank Kami that his mask will not break that easily.
"Maybe a combined attack..." Naruto said and Sasuke nodded and they both made the handseals for the same Jutsu.
"Gokakyu no Jutsu! (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique)" They both screamed and shot two fireballs to the same mirror that Sasuke shot before and it cracked up, but then it fix itself.
"You gotta be kidding me..." Naruto said and Sasuke 'Tched'.
"I already told you that it is useless." Haku said and now she made a spin throught the mirrors throwing senbon from 360 degrees.
Sasuke falled to one knee and Naruto remained standing. Then Naruto hit one mirror. "Shika! Are you there?"
*Outside the dome*
"Yeah! What's going on!?" Shikamaru asked holding his numbed arm that was coming back to his senses.
"Think of a plan! Quick!" Naruto screamed and Shikamaru got himself on his thinking position trying to think of something quick.
'Don't fail me now brain!' He screamed in his mind.
*In the Dome*
Naruto was going to throw another fireball when he noticed a senbon pointed to Sasuke that was standing up. Without Hesitation Naruto tackled him. "Move!"
What Sasuke saw paralysed him.
The senbon targeted to him got Naruto on the head.
They both fell and Sasuke sit up and looked at Naruto that wasn't moving. "Oi, Dobe." He said but no response.
"Hey Naruto." He shake him but nothing.
"Okay, this isn't funny." Sasuke said and shake him more roughly.
"Naruto wake up!" Now he screamed, but nothing.
"NARUTO!"
He looked at Haku that seemed shock "I-I Didn't want to..."
Sasuke didn't care, she killed Naruto.
His friend.
His rival.
His brother.
His family.
He saw red and with a cry of war he attacked to avenge him.
*Outside the dome*
Shikamaru and the rest heard to Sasuke screaming Naruto's name and got worried. "Sasuke! What happened?!"
"She-She-She Killed Naruto!" Sasuke screamed and Shika lost all his strength in his body.
Ten-Ten felt tears in her eyes and both Sakura and Ino gaped.
"Sasuke..." Shikamaru started.
"What!"
"…Give her one from my part." Shikamaru asked and didn't got response but he knew he was heard.
*Inside the Dome*
"Katon: Hosenka no Jutsu! (Fire release: Phoenix flower Jutsu)" Sasuke screameed and threw 6 fireballs at the mirrors he saw Haku.
"You're getting slower!" He screamed in rage. In all this time he had see red.
Haku went to the ceiling and threw a barrage of senbon to Sasuke that took his kunai to deflect them. He saw them all slower.
He deflect them all but one that was going to his neck. He close his eye for the impact that never come.
"Oh Sasuke. What would you do without me?" He heard Naruto's voice and opened his eyes to see Naruto standing up holding the senbon. Sasuke could only hug his alive friend.
"YOU ARE ALIVE!"
Naruto hugged him back "Yeah, later I explain how. Now, we need a plan." Sasuke nodded and Shikamaru that heard said "I got an idea. But it depends on Sasuke."
"Why?" The Uchiha asked.
"Naruto, look at his eyes." Shikamaru ordered and Naruto did that and smirked at his friend.
"Congrats Sasuke! You activated your sharingan."
Sasuke took a kunai out and see the reflection and smirked seeing one tomoe in one eye and two in the other.
'Probably when I thought that Naruto died...' He thought and knocked the dome wall.
"So, what's the plan?"
Outside Shikamaru smirked "Make sure she keeps moving and when she is about to pass through this mirror," He knocked the part he was told the mirror was "Sasuke tell me. Then you will know what to do."
"Got it!" Naruto said and turned to Haku that was looking at them from a mirror.
"you almost die. Give up now." Haku said but only recived kunais and shurikens.
She started to move again and when she was about to pass the mirror Shikamaru said Sasuke screamed "Now!"
"Kagemane no Jutsu!" Shikamaru said from outside and his shadow streched towards the mirror just as Haku passed it, and she got paralyzed there in the mirror.
"Attack now!" Shikamaru said trying to maintain the Jutsu and Sasuke and Naruto made the hand seals.
"Gokakyu no Jutsu! (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique)"
"Futon: Daitoppa! (Wind Release: Great Breakthrough)"
They both screamed and Sasuke threw a big fireball and Naruto a powerful gust of wind with the chakra they had left. The attacks mixed making the fireball even bigger and stronger than before.
Haku widen her eyes behind her mask and tried to move with no luck, When the attack was inches from her Naruto screamed "Shika move!"
Haku got back to control her movements but it was too late and the attack hit her destroying great part of the dome and Haku was sent flying against the railing wall.
*Outside the dome*
"Shika move!" Was heard from inside the dome and Shikamaru saw some orange light inside. He free the shadow of Haku that was in the mirrors and he managed to create a shadow with an torch that Ten-Ten had.
"Get out of the way!" He screamed and tackled Ten-Ten to the right while Ino pushed Sakura to the left and jumped that direction.
They dodged the gigantic fireball that destroy a big part of the dome and saw Haku crashing against the railing wall with her mask destroyed, revealing her face.
Then the dome started to break due that Haku wasn't controlling it anymore and out of there came out coming both...
"Sasuke-Kun/Naruto!" The girls screamed once again and Ino and Sakura threw themselves at Sasuke that ducked to avoid them.
"I knew you would do it." Shikamaru stated with a smirk on his face but it left when Ten-Ten talked.
"Shika..."
"yeah?"
"Can you get off me?" She asked blushing and Shikamaru blushed too seeig he was on top of her. He quickly moved to the side and apologize.
Naruto and Sasuke were still walking towards the hurt Haku that looked at them with sadness in her eyes.
"I failed. I am just a broken tool..."
Everyone was curious about that "What are you talking about?" Sasuke asked and Haku told them the story of how Zabuza saved her from his father and a mob that killed her mother when they discover they had a bloodline.
Sasuke gritted his teeth and Naruto was frowning as Shikamaru while the girls were gaping.
Naruto was thinking of something to say but Sasuke did it first. "12 years ago the Kyubi no Yoko attacked our village and many people were framing the Uchihas on doing it. Because of that we were ostracized from the village little by little. There was even planned a coup from what I heard. But thanks to negotiations with the Hokage nothing happened."
Haku looked confused "And why does this relates with my story?"
Sasuke bent down to look at her at the eye "Because now we are being accepted little by little. You can be accepted too. Join us at Konoha. Zabuza can come too. I bet you two will be welcomed." Sasuke said with a smile.
Haku after some thought smiled "I would like that."
Naruto smirked "Then it's a plan. Now let's stop the jonins from fighting and..." He was interrupted by Kakashi scream.
"Asuma now!"
*Asuma, Kakashi and Zabuza*
Asuma nodded and threw the staff at the feet of Zabuza that went spinning in the air. Zabuza with the few strengths he had left, he jumped to dodge.
But what he wasn't expected was that the staff returned back to his original form when it got behind him and grabbed his arms immobilizing him. The strength of Enma plus his own lack of strength made it impossible to break free.
"Got You!"Enma said and Kakashi got into a crouched position and hold his hand. Then lighting could be seen coming out of his hand.
"Now I finish you..." He said and started to sprint towards the immobile Zabuza that was trying to break free with no result.
*With the kids*
"No!" Haku screamed trying to rush towards her master but Sasuke grabbed her hand at time.
Haku looked at him with tears in her eyes and screamed "ZABUZA-SAMA!"
"Raikiri! (Lighting cutter)" Was heard from that side of the bridge.
"And done! As promised this chapter was long. 6000 words. Can you believe it? I barely can. As promised this chapter was packed with action and I hope I did well on my first, gigantic fighting scenes. And about Zabuza, I let you decide if he lives or dies. Leave your vote on the reviews or PM me. Also I'm searching for an artist that can make the cover image for this story. If you have a good drawing that could work as cover image, send it at this mail . I would really appreciate it. And that's all! Remember to vote for Zabuza-sama life and you can always leave normal reviews if you want to. Follow and favorite the story and Till next time.
