Warning: bad written chapter ahead, specially the fight with Haku.
~Vega's PoV~
The next day we woke up early and prepared to accompany Tazuna at the bridge.
"Okay, then! I leave Naruto in your hands" Kakashi said to Tsunami.
"And I leave Rigel in your hands too!" I said too.
"Aye! Good luck you all"
Then we left for the bridge. As we arrived we saw workers on the ground.
"What's going on? What happened?" Tazuna asked confused.
Then a thick cloud of mist surrounded us causing us to go on formation around Tazuna.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Kakashi. I see you've got those brats with you as always. He's still shaking, poor thing" Zabuza said.
Then water clones appeared.
"Im shaking with... excitement" Sasuke stated wiping out the water clones.
"Well well, so he can see the water clones, eh. That brat's grown quite a bit. That means you got a rival, Haku" Zabuza said as Haku stepped in.
"I'll do it. With his bad acting I hate brats who think they're so cool!" Sasuke stated.
Then Haku started spinning like a tornado and Sasuke took a fighting stance.
"Vega, protect Tazuna and don't move away from me. Let Sasuke handle him!" Kakashi explained us.
Aww... I take the fun part huh?
I took a defensive stance to protect Tazuna.
Then Haku started talking about his 'strategy' and started making handsigns with... one hand?
Cool! I want to learn that!
"A thousand needles of death!" He said as water flew up and transformed into needles.
Sasuke avoided them jumping high.
"I can't have you mocking our team calling them brats... he may not look it but Sasuke is the number one rookie of the hidden Leaf village, Vega is our sharpest, and the other one is the number one hyperactive, knucklehead ninja, Naruto Uzumaki" Kakashi said as I smiled a bit.
"Haku, do you know what this means? At this rate you will be defeated by your intended victim..." Zabuza said to his partner.
Soon the air around us got colder and Haku made handigns creating ice mirrors. Then Haku entered the mirrors.
Uh oh...
Kakashi started running towards the mirrors only to be stopped by Zabuza.
Soon I heard screams coming from the inside of the mirrors.
I looked at Tazuna and he nodded at me, letting me go.
What I saw was Sasuke all beaten up.
"Sasuke are you alright?" I asked worried.
"Yeah, don't worry for me" he replied.
Then I saw a shuriken hitting Haku on the head making him fall off from the mirror.
Naruto! And Rigel...?
She went next to Tazuna.
"Uzumaki Naruto, is finally here! Now that I've come, you're all right! The hero of a story generally appears in this kind of situation and takes out the enemy in no time!" He said making me and Sasuke sweatdrop at his words.
That show off! He could have made a surprise attack!
Then Naruto tried to make the clone jutsu but Zabuza stopped him throwing shurikens at him, but they were stopped by Haku's senbons. Then Kakashi made a talk that made Naruto freak out because he came and saved us.
"Naruto, I'll get to you later" Haku said entering the mirror and starting throwing senbons to us.
I tried to avoid them and to cover a bit Sasuke that was barely standing up but I ended being hit by the needles.
Ugh...
If only Sasuke, me and Naruto attacks from both the inside and the outside of the mirrors we could have a chance... that's what I thought until Naruto caught me and Sasuke off guard and went inside the mirrors.
Naruto, you baka.
"Yo, I came so save you"
Sasuke that probably got my same idea started arguing with Naruto.
"Stop you two, it's no time to argue" I scolded the two.
Then Sasuke tried melting the mirrors with the fireball jutsu but it didn't work. Soon we were been attacked by needles again, but this time since I had to cover Naruto too, I got hit more. Then Naruto made clones as Sasuke said to don't, but they ended being wiped out by Haku.
But he tried again, and again, failing and we got hit as well. The last time Naruto tried to use the clone jutsu Sasuke tried to attack Haku by using the fireball jutsu, the first time failing, the second time he hit him and left a burn to a piece of his 'pants'.
Then Sasuke told us to try to escape, we tried but we ended up being hit by the needles. Naruto tried again but he got hit by the needles again until he fell down on the floor. He couldn't stand up then collapsed.
Then Haku tried to hit Naruto but Sasuke got him and lifted him somewhere else in the dome. He looked at Haku and I noticed he had red eyes with a comma.
He has awoken the sharingan, great Sasuke!
Haku aimed again at Naruto and me and Sasuke got on in front of him to protect him.
"Why you protected me...?!" Naruto said tearing.
"How the heck... should I know? My body moved... of its own accord... idiot..." Sasuke mumbled before collapsing.
I caught him before laying him on the floor.
"That man... until I defeat... my brother... I absolutely refuse to die... that's what I decided, but... you, don't die..." was the last thing he said before blacking out. I tried to not tear at this.
"He... to protect someone dear to him... he would plunge in knowing it was a trap... He's a shinobi worthy of respect. Is this the first time you faced a friend's death? This is the way of the shinobi..." Haku said with a bit of sadness in his voice.
"Shut up! Even though I... hated you too... I won't forgive you... I'm going to kill you!" Naruto said as red chakra surrounded him, while his nails grew, the whiskers on his cheek got thicker and his eyes turned red.
Woah! W-what is this sinister source of power?
I was slightly shaking in fear at this huge power source.
Naruto quickly grabbed Haku's wrist and threw a punch in his face, sending him flying.
He then quickly ran towards him but stopped before hitting his face.
I quickly ran next to Tazuna to protect him. Even if the fog was thick I used my sharp sense of smell to find him.
I suddenly heard dogs growling and wondered what was going on. While the fog was lifting I could hear Kakashi speaking to Zabuza. I could see better since my sharp senses and the fog lifted. I saw Kakashi preparing a jutsu.
"Here's something I didn't copy, a jutsu of my own... Chidori!" He said while lightning surrounded his hand.
He was charging his chidori until Haku went in between Kakashi and Zabuza getting hit.
Oh. My. Poor boy.
"You did great, Haku" Zabuza said laughing.
He then charged with his sword towards Kakashi but he managed to avoid it and taking the poor Haku in a safe place, since he would slash his partner too.
"Oh, you really got it this time. You disappoint me, Zabuza" a small man with his subordinates appeared.
"Gato, why did you come here? And who are those henchmen?" Zabuza asked the small man.
"Our strategy changed a little... I'm sorry about this Zabuza, but you will die here. Since hiring a regular shinobi costs a lot of money I hired rogue ninjas like you, and it would have been even more ideal to save my money and effort if ninja to ninja battles ended in killing each other off. Well, you are certainly not worthy of being called the Demon of the hidden Mist village. If you were to ask me you're just a cute little demon!" Gato mocked, kicking Haku.
"Kakashi... I apologise. Our fight ends here... as long as my reason to take down Tazuna is gone, there is no reason to fight you either. Kid give me that kunai knife" he said ripping off the bandages on his mouth.
"Here" I threw my kunai to him and he caught it with his teeth.
He then started to charge Gato that was fleeting away to not be killed. Zabuza killed some of the henchmen too while getting striked by them multiple times and finally killing Gato, then he collapsed.
"Hey hey hey, you guys are too relaxed! Now that it's come to this, there's no choice but to attack the whole town and take everything valuable!" The henchmen said.
Soon Inari came with the townspeople and to scare the subordinates off me, Kakashi and Naruto made a bunch of clones.
Then Kakashi lifted Zabuza and put him next to Haku, where he passed the last moments of his life.
I dashed towards Sasuke and tried to heal him, blue magic enveloped my hands. As he slowly started waking up, I collapsed.
