Blood poured out of Haku's wound. Zabuza mentioned that Kakashi was off the mark again. The fog had cleared enough that you could see everyone. Sakura was with Tazuna, unharmed which calmed Sarada down a bit. Naruto was on the other side of the fight, his face portrayed shock as he saw Haku with blood all over him. Zabuza let out a growl of a yell and started swinging his sword. Everyone saw that Kakashi tried to remove his hand from Haku, seeing as the boy was now dead, but to no avail. As The sword came down Kakashi hugged Haku's body and jumped backward doing some flips. Kakashi landed, holding Haku.

"Haku died and you were still able to move." Zabuza told Kakashi.

"I won't forgive you?" Naruto bristled at the half masked man.

Kakashi told him to stay put. The Scarecrow man gently put Haku's body on the ground and closed the boy's still open eyes. Sakura noticed Naruto through the fog. She called out him and asked were Sasuke was. Naruto couldn't look or answer her, believing his rival was lying dead on the ground behind him. Sakura and Tazuna started running towards Naruto, avoiding Zabuza. They didn't stop at Naruto. They ran right past the blonde biting his lip. Moments later Sakura's sobs could be heart, piercing Naruto in the heart more with more pain than any weapon could give him. The sound of clanging metals and bright sparks drew the attention of those watching back to Kakashi's and Zabuza's fight. Zabuza had two kunain sticking out of one arm, rendering it useless. Blood was on his face as he kneeled before Kakashi breathing hard. Zabuza lunged, ready to strike Kakashi. Kakashi backhanded him away with easy.

"What happened?" Boruto asked, "It was an even fight just moments before."

"You dunce!" Sarada said. "He just lost his closest partner, I don't think he realized it but Zabuza care for Haku and now his body is grieving."

Zabuza tired a few more time to hit Kakashi. The silver haired man either dodged or knowed Zauza back. Kakashi appeared behind Zabuza, ater the man slammed his weapon down, and held his next. Telling the weakened man that he could defeat him with the way he is now. Kakashi got two kunais ready to kill Zabuza. As he was going for the kill Zabuza swung his sword back words. Kakashi plunged the two knived into Zabuza's other arm, rendering it useless along with his other one. Zabuza glared as Kakashi told him he can't even make a sign now. A short man in a black suit appeared, catching Kakashi's and Zabuza's attention, Behind him as an army of thugs.

"Who's that?" Metal Lee asked. "He doesn't seem like a fighter."

"It's probably that Gato person they've been mentioning.

The man, Gato confirmed their theory when he told Zabuza he was disappointed in him.

Zabuza glared at the stout man, inquiring why he came to the bridge. Gato enlightened him telling him there was a change of plans. Zabuza didn't seem to recognize any of the men crowded behind Gato.

"I'm sorry Zabuza." Gato said. "But you will die here."

Zabuza's eye widen slightly. Gato explained that he was trying to save money. The man who knew nothing about ninjas started mocking Zabuza's nickname, saying that the rogue had no qualities of a demon.

"Kakashi." Zabuza spoke. "I apologize. Our fight ends here."

Zabuza explained he no longer had a reason to go after Tazuna and that meant no reason to fight the leaf jonin. Kakashi agreed as the two men watched Gato. The business man walked forward, stopping at Haku's body. He poked the dead boy with his foot before kicking him in the face, not that he could feel it, saying he owed him for breaking his arm.

"You Bastard!" Naruto screamed, made that this man just kicked Haku. "What do you think your doing?"

The blond ran forward to attacked Gato but Kakashi grabbed the boy's jacket and pulled him in to a hold, telling him not to act recklessly. Naruto directed his anger towards Zabuza, asking the man to say something. That Haku was his comrade.

"Shut up, punk." Zabuza told the blonde. "Haku is already dead."

"Don't you feel anything watching him do that?" Naruto yelled. "Weren't you with Haku for a long time?"

"Just as Gato used me, I used Haku." The rogue said. "I told you before, we Ninja are merely tools. What I wanted were his skills not the boy himself."

Naruto got mad, questioned in the Mist ninja really felt that way. Kakashi tired to stop him, saying he wasn't the enemy anymore. Naruto said he was still his enemy. Shouted that Haku really like him. Naruto's voice cracked as he asked the man again, if that's how he really fell, saying the Haku gave his life for him. He mentioned Haku's dream, about how painful it must of been not to achieve it.

"Why does he care?" Boruto asked. "The he was going to be killed by that person not to long ago."

"Maybe because the Seventh and Haku had similar pasts?" Metal Lee said.

"Brat." Something in Zabuza's voice was different.

Something hit the ground in front of Zabuza, water. At first the eight thought it had started raining when a few more drops fell but it wasn't. It was Zabuza crying, they saw that when Zabuza tilted his head up to look at the clouds..

"Don't say anything…. Anymore."

He brought his head down again.

"Haku was…" Zabuza started. "He wasn't just thinking about me. He was feeling pain inside for you while he battled you guys too…"

Zabuza paused.

"I know." Breaking his pause. "He was too kind. I'm glad we could fight with at the end."

Zabuza ripped his mask of wrap by biting it.

"Yes, punk. It is as you say, after all." Zabuza told Naruto. "Ninjas are human too. Maybe it's impossible to become an emotionless tool. I've lost."

He paused again, looking straight head.

"Hey, Brat! Give me a kunai knife!"

Naruto looked down, tears falling from his face, he was sad. He grabbed a knife from one of his hostlers and casually tossed it to his former enemy.

"What's he going to need that for?" Sarada asked. "His are are useless!"

Zabuza grabbed the kunai, not with his hands but with his mouth, so suddenly it made the kids jump. They jumped for another reason. Zabuza's face was scary in the moment they saw it. Zabuza took off towards Gato. The stout man freaked and let loose his goons as he pushed his way to the back of the group. One goon asked what he could against so many people. His answer was being sliced by Zabuza as he ran. The goon could do nothing as he fell to the ground. The eight watched in amazed horror as Zabuza ran through the middle of the goons, dodging, slicing, kicking the men most would be scared of with ease. He got stabbed but didn't care, he target was Gato who had made it to the end of the unfinished bridge.

"This is how he earned his name." Mitsuki. "He truly is a demon."

Zabuza broke through the crowd and charged Gato. The businessman couldn't do anything as he was run through with the kunai. He coughed up blood. They stared in horror as Zabuza was stabbed multiple times by the goons, leaving their weapons in his back, causing Zabuza to let go of the kunai, still in Gato's chest, in pain. Gato told Zabuza that if he was so anxious to be with Haku he could go alone. Zabuza mentioned that he would not go to the same place as Haku and starigen, moving towards Gato once more. Gato backed up, trying to maintain his cool but Zabuza scared him to much at this point. Zabuza got into Gato's face, say they would both go to hell and that's when the Demon of the Mist will become a true demon. Zabuza pulled the Kunai out of Gato's chest and started slashiin ght man multiple time. His final slash knocked Gato over the edge and soon they heard a splash. Everyone stood in silence, Zabuza slowly turned and glared at the rest of the goons. His eyes scared them, causing some to drop their weapons. The made way for Zabuza, he walked forward slowly, dropping his kunai. He seemed to be trying to get to Haku, but fell part ways there. Zabuza whispered an apology to Haku before he fully collapsed.

"Naruto!" Sakura called out.

Everyone turned. They saw Sakura waving happily, Sasuke was standing up behind her.

"Sasuke's all right!"

Sasuke reluctantly held his hand up in a half wave.

"So Sasuke's alive." Kakashi said. "That's a relief."

One of the goons tapped their weapon one the ground, calling out to the ninja. They decided since Zabuza is dead that they can be scary again and try to attack the people that were left.

"Hmmp what a bunch of cowards." Shikadai said. "They freak because of Zabuza and once he's down they try something, thinking the rest aren't a threat to them."

The men charged, they plan on looting the town. Naruto and Kakashi tried to think of something but Naruto was slightly painicked and couldn't think and Kakashi was low on chakra. An arrow landed in front of the goons, stopping them in their tracks, everyone looked back and saw the town's people armed with anything and everything, ready to fight for their village, Inari in the lead.

"What?" Boruto said. "I thought they were to scared to fight, why did they suddenly change.

"It was the Seventh." Shikadai said.

The watched as the goons became scared, not expecting the town to fight back. Naruto scared them even more with his Shadow Clone Jutsu as there was suddenly five more people fighting. Kakashi took it a step farther and did his own Shadow Clone Jutsu, except instead of five, there was at least fifty, if not a hundred Kakashi's. That pushed them to the end.

"So… You ready to fight? The Kakashis asked.

"No, we're not! The goons all said and fled to their boat or just plainly jumped off the bridge. The town's people cheered, happy that their land was now free and that the bridge with become complete. The cheering settled down. Everyone's attention was drawn to the small sounds of clanking wood and metal. Kakashi was pulling the weapons out of Zabuza's back. The Scarecrow then picked up the Demon and carried him over to Haku, laying him down next to the boy. It started snowing.

"Snow?" Sarada said. "It's spring why is it snowing?"

"Thanks, Kakashi." Zabuza said.

Some of the eight jumped at his voice, they thought he was already dead.

The scene faded.
