Legacy of the second Hokage: Raiden

Hey guys! Amaterasu_Blazing here with the next chapter of Legacy.

Also, before someone asks, yes, Raiden is ridiculously fast, he has been training with speed related restriction seals for years as his sword style relies on speed. So his top speed is close to Lee's. Note that this doesn't mean he is as strong as Lee, far from it actually as, in physical terms, Aizen is about twice as strong as him WITHOUT CHAKRA TO ENHANCE HIS STRIKES. So while he will always be ridiculously fast in this story, as I have tried to point out, it doesn't mean he can beat all his opponents because of it as he just doesn't have the physical strength. As will be shown, his speed just means he can accomplish his sword techniques, or match Lee in a race. It doesn't mean he could beat Lee in a taijutsu fight. Raiden is a speed, ninjutsu, kenjutsu fighter and that will be his design. So in summary, speed does NOT equal able to beat jonin (Although maybe unaware chunin, example chapter 6)

So normal disclaimer. I own NOTHING! Enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 8: Battle of the Tides.

The area was silent for a moment before cheers from Sariah and Naruto broke the peace, the other genin sighing relief. Zabuza began to chuckle lowly but began to pick up volume as he continued. "Finished?" He questioned as he stopped chuckling, "You really don't get it do you? Your technique is nothing but a crass imitation! I'll never be defeated by a mere copy-cat ninja like you!" Exclaimed Zabuza as Kakashi narrowed his eye's

Zabuza again began to laugh as Kakashi growled behind him, still holding a kunai to his neck. "You really are full of surprises though. You'd already copied my water clone when you made your little speech. Very skilfully executed, you made clone say those words to draw my attention while you hid in the mist, waiting for me to make my move." Analysed Zabuza as he spoke as if hadn't a care in the world.

"Nice try…" Said the nin as a second Zabuza appeared behind Kakashi, finishing for the clone. "…But I'm not that easy to fool!" The clone in front of Kakashi burst into water as Kakashi moved.

"Hey! That one's a clone to shouted Naruto as stared wide eyed at the battling jonin. Kakashi turned to Zabuza, who held his sword ready to fight. Zabuza swung his blade around his body, attempting to decapitate Kakashi as said nin barely ducted beneath the incoming blade.

Zabuza continued the attack, the blade burying itself into the ground from the force of the swing. Zabuza continued to spin, grabbing the tip of the handle as he brought his foot to kick the silveret, sending Kakashi flying. "Now!" He shouted as he grabbed the blade again, using the swords length to easily leaver it up as he pulled it from the ground.

The rogue nin blitzed forward to the flying Kakashi, the leaf jonin landing in the water. He caught a glimpse of the ground as he growled. Sliding to a stop right in front of his obstacle as he spoke "Makibishi spikes! Trying to slow me down? Hmph, foolish." Zabuza turned around and jumped into the air, curving so as to dive head first into the water.

"Sensei!" shouted Naruto, worry clear in his voice as he lost sight of the jonin. Sakura gasped as the mentally reeled back in shock. 'I can't believe Kakashi sensei got kicked through the air like that!' Thought the Haruno as she looked on in shock.

"He has great physical skill to!" Exclaimed Sasuke as the other genin nodded in agreement. Kakashi eventually resurfaced, his usually spikey hair plastered to his head. 'This water isn't normal! It's dense, heavy!' Observed Kakashi as Zabuza appeared behind him, beginning to preform hand seals.

"Fool!" Growled the man as he finished the seals, pushing his hands forward. "Water release: Water Prison" Shouted Zabuza as Kakashi turned around, eye's wide in surprise and a hint of fear as he shouted.

"No!" Cried Kakashi as the water burst upwards, surrounding the jonin in an orb of water, restricting his movements. 'Escaping into the water, bad mistake!' thought Kakashi as he turned his head, seeing Zabuza's arm inside the sphere of water. The missing nin laughed at the trapped nin.

This prison's made of water, but it's stronger than steel! It's hard to fight when you can't move! So much for the great Kakashi! I'll finish you of later, but first your little friend's will have to be eliminated." Said Zabuza as he formed a single hand sign. "Water release: Water Clone" Shouted Zabuza

Kakashi lifted his head in shock, 'He's even more skilled than I thought!' exclaimed Kakashi as he watched, powerless to interfere. The water in front of Zabuza raised upwards, forming into a copy of the swordsman. As it coloured Zabuza again spoke to the mostly gasping genin.

"You think wearing a headband makes you a ninja?" Questioned Zabuza as he continued "When you've hovered between life and death so many times it doesn't faze you, the you may be called a ninja. When you've become so deadly your profile has been entered in my bingo book, then you may have earned the title ninja." Zabuza formed a seal as he was again obscured by mist.

"But to call upstarts like you, ninja? It's a joke!" continued the nin as the genin prepared themselves. Zabuza suddenly burst forward out of the mist at an unprepared Naruto, kicking him back as his forehead protector was knocked into the air. The clone stamped its foot down on the Konoha symbol as Naruto crashed to the ground. "Your just brats!" Finished the swordsman.

The genin turned back to look at their downed member, Sakura shouting after him. Kakashi saw this and shouted out to the genin. "Listen! Get the bridge builder and run! You can't win this fight!" Ordered the jonin, his voice muffled by the water.

"He's using all of his power to keep me in this prison, so he can only fight you with his water clone! But, the clone can't go far from his real body! If you get away from him, it can't follow! Now run!" Explained Kakashi, desperation beginning to creep into his voice as he continued, glancing between the members of the group

'Run away! Not an option! That became unthinkable the moment you got caught' thought Sasuke grimly. 'No matter how fast we run or how far we go, he'll track us down. And wipe us out.' Thought Sasuke as he faced the attacking nin.

'If we try a manji defence formation he can get around it in an instant! In the end, if we're on our own were finished. Our only chance at survival, is to rescue you!' "We've got to do it!" Concluded Sasuke as he charged forward, throwing projectiles as he ran. The clone just calmly reached for his blade and batted the shuriken out of the way in a single swipe.

Sasuke proceeded to jump into the air, attempting to attack from above. "To easy." Muttered the clone as it grabbed Sasuke out of the air by his neck and hurled him backwards. Sasuke hit the ground hard as he slid back across the ground. Raiden growled as he tried to think of a strategy, trying to plan around his foe.

'He's too strong for a frontal assault, so let's try some misdirection.' Thought Raiden as he prepared to attack. He froze as he saw the figure of Zabuza looming over Naruto. He watched, stunned, as his cousin attempted to crawl away, stopping as he placed weight on his damaged hand, sending a burst of pain through his body.

Naruto thought over everything he said and had happened in the past months as he stared at the headband under Zabuza's foot. He clenched his hand as he thought of the promise he had made earlier that same day. 'That's right, I'm a ninja know, believe it! I swore an oath of pain! I won't run away!' Thought Naruto as he got up and rushed forward.

The blond yelled as he raced forward, ignoring the shouts for him to stop from his teammates and sensei. Zabuza chuckled at the charging genin, "Fool" said Zabuza as the blond reached him. The clone swung his leg round, sending the boy flying back. The blond hit the ground hard as he rolled back kicking up dust in his wake.

Raiden ignored Sakura as she admonished the Uzumaki, staring at the item clutched tightly in Naruto's hand, the headband Iruka gave him that night. "Hey you. The freak with no eyebrows. Put this in your bingo book. The ninja that will become Hokage of the village hidden in the leaves…" Said Naruto as he got back to his feet, gasping for air.

"… He never backs down. His name's Naruto Uzumaki" Finished the blond, a line of blood flowing from the side of his grinning mouth. Raiden smiled at his little brother as he said that, proud of the boy's determination. Tazuna to looked on as his opinion of the blond changed. 'I thought he was all talk, but this kid's got guts' thought the greying man.

"All right Sasuke, Raiden, listen up can you hear me?" Questioned the blond as the two responded in the affirmative. "I've got a plan." Continued the blond as the Uchia and Senju smirked. 'Hmph, now he's got a plan? This guy…' thought the Uchia as he spoke

"So you're finally thinking about teamwork huh?" Questioned the Uchia as he glanced over to Naruto. The blond smirked as he again spoke.

"Alright guys, let's go wild!" Exclaimed the blond as he wiped his mouth. "Okay, ready? Let's bring this guy down!" Shouted Naruto as Zabuza began to laugh.

"Big words for such a little man! You think your plans going to keep you in the game?" questioned Zabuza as Kakashi brought up his head. 'This isn't good' thought Kakashi as he again tried to order the group to leave.

"What are you doing! I told you to run! This fight was over the moment I got caught! Now take off! Your mission is not to prove how brave you are, it's to save the bridge builder! Stay on mission" Shouted Kakashi as he pleaded with the genin to run.

Naruto turned to Tazuna as he spoke. "Bridge builder?" asked Naruto, the unsaid question easily being portrayed, 'What do you want us to do?' Tazuna sighed as he bowed his head before responding.

"Well I guess; this has all happened because of me. Because of my desire to live. But I won't let that stand in your way now! Forget about me and do what you have to do! Go ahead and fight to save your sensei!" Shouted Tazuna, raising his head at the end.

Raiden smirked as he heard those words and the determination from Sasuke and Naruto as the spoke. He faltered however as Zabuza began to laugh uncontrollably, like a patient a psyche word.

"You really haven't learnt anything, have you? Still playing your little game, pretending to be ninja. When I was your age, this hand was already crushed many opponents." Declared Zabuza as the genin gasped, raising his hand to emphasise his point.

"Zabuza, The demon." Said Kakashi as he looked up at his captor.

"Oh, so I was in your book to huh?" Questioned the nin, a small hint of genuine surprise in his voice as Kakashi explained the story to the genin.

"Long ago in the village hidden in the mist, also known as blood mist village, before a student could graduate to become a ninja there was one final test." Said Kakashi as Zabuza turned to look at him as he spoke.

"So you know about the graduation exam." Stated the swordsman, no surprise at all about an enemy nin knowing about the exam, it wasn't like it was a secret.

"What graduation exam? What's the big deal anyway? We had graduation tests to!" Questioned Naruto as Zabuza continued to laugh. Raiden narrowed his eye's, knowing that that laugh couldn't mean anything good.

Zabuza continued to laugh for a couple seconds before responding. "Did you have to annihilate the other students to pass?" Questioned Zabuza as the genin gasped. Zabuza ignored them as he continued.

"Imagine young ninja like you. Eating together, training together, and then comes the final exams, only the rules changed. You couldn't stop until you destroyed your opponent. He was your friend, shared your dreams! Now it's him, or you!" Stated Zabuza, a wicked tone in his voice as he spoke.

"That's so cruel!" Exclaimed Sakura, her eyes wide in fear as she shook slightly, hand covering her mouth. Kakashi continued from where Zabuza left off.

"Ten years ago in the village hidden in the mist, the graduation exam… changed. One year before, a dark evil had filled the school with terror." Said Kakashi as the genin became confused. Kakashi quickly explained. "Without pause or hesitation, a young boy who wasn't even a ninja approached the class… and took down over a hundred other students."

Zabuza bowed his head, as if remembering something before beginning speaking. "It, it felt so…" Said Zabuza as he snapped his head up before continuing, "…Good" Shouted Zabuza, a tone of sadistic euphoria in his voice as he said it. The genin were shocked at the realisation at what the man, no, the thing in front of them had done.

Zabuza capitalised on this shock as rushed forward, elbowing Sasuke and kicking Naruto back, sending the two flying back, he charged after Sasuke as he stopped rolling, elbowing him into the ground before stamping onto his stomach, pressing down on the groaning genin. Sariah and Aizen both attacked the clone as Raiden helped Naruto.

"Magnet release: Silver Spikes" Shouted Sariah as she formed several spiked tails of silver, forcing Zabuza to jump back as two impacted in front of him, barely missing the struggling Uchia. The swordsman continued to easily dodge and deflect the spikes. He attempted to slice through the final spike, making a serious mistake.

The sword passed through the silver, moving as though he was cutting through water as the spike reformed, directly in front of his face. The water clone barely ducked under the spike as it crashed into a tree behind him, completely destroying the trunk. His position left him badly prepared for the Hyuuga as he struck downwards at the kneeling jounin.

Zabuza spun around, bringing his sword up to absorb the attack as he jumped back, landing on his feet. Aizen continued his attack as he charged forward, striking at Zabuza who blocked each attack with his blade. The chakra infused palms left small dents on the blade. Aizen switched stances as he punched forward, trying to break Zabuza's sword as he held it diagonally.

Zabuza shifted backwards, causing Aizen to overextended severely. Zabuza spun his blade forwards, causing Hyuuga to fall backwards. Aizen quickly formed the Ram seal as Zabuza prepared to cleave the genin in two. "Earth release: Hiding in Surface Technique" Shouted Aizen, desperation creeping into his voice as his legs began to sink into the ground as he continued to fall backwards.

The falling Hyuuga barely finished his technique as Zabuza cleaved the ground that he had just stood. Aizen remerged next to the now standing Sasuke as he panted, slightly drained from what he had just done. Zabuza prepared to charge forward again as Naruto brock him from his actions. "Stop right there!" Shouted the blond as he formed a cross hand seal.

"Shadow Clone!" Shouted the blond as dozens of copies of Naruto formed around the area. Zabuza grasped his blade tighter as he spoke, a small hint of respect in his voice. "Ohhh! Shadow clones, and there's quite a few of them. The army of blondes each drew a kunai as they shouted in unison.

"Here we go!" Exclaimed the blondes as the jumped upwards, attempting to pile up on Zabuza from above. Zabuza just raised his blade as he was covered in a dome of orange wearing ninja. The Naruto's were quickly thrown off as Zabuza shouted in exertion, sending the clones spiralling away as they began to burst. Sakura gasped as Tazuna began to speak.

"His skills are to advanced! He's too powerful, there's no way to defeat him!" Shouted Tazuna, worry and dread thick in his voice. Raiden smirked as he saw Naruto rummaging through his bag, it only grew as he heard the blonde's words.

"I'm not giving up! I've still got this! Sasuke!" Shouted the jinchuriki as he threw something into the air towards Sasuke. The Uchia shouted out as he caught the object, spinning as he did. 'So that's your plan! Not bad Naruto' thought Sasuke as came to a stop. He spun the object in his hand as he opened it, revealing that it was a windmill shuricken. Sasuke held it in front of him as he spoke.

"Demon wind shuricken: Windmill of Shadows" Shouted the Uchia as he prepared to throw the weapon. "A shuricken? You'll never touch me with that." Said Zabuza, a dismissive tone in his voice as he looked at the Uchia. Sasuke ignored him as he launched himself into the air, spinning as he threw the shuricken.

It seemed to be heading for the clone as it prepared to block. The clone's eyes widened as the shuricken veered around it, continuing to the real Zabuza. "So, you passed the clone and aimed for my real body, smart." Observed Zabuza in a calm tone as the giant projectile continued to bear down on him. "But not smart enough!" Finished the man as he caught the shuricken out of mid-air.

Zabuza's head snapped up as he saw a second shuricken coming towards him. 'A second shuricken in the shadow of the first! The shadow shuricken jutsu!' Thought Zabuza as he stared at the incoming shuricken in surprise. 'Second shuricken's on target! And there's no way he can catch this one.' Though Sakura as she watched the scene unfold.

The shuricken was nearly on top of Zabuza, about to bisect the man as he blurred into action, jumping over the deadly projectile. "I told you a shuricken can't touch me!" Shouted Zabuza, a mad look in his eye as he looked at the genin. Sakura gasped at the scene, dismayed at Zabuza managing to avoid the attack as Sasuke just smirked.

The Shuricken burst into smoke revealing Naruto as it dispersed. Almost everyone gasped in surprise at the event as Raiden sprinted forward. "Eat this!" Exclaimed the blond as he threw a kunai at Zabuza. The projectile raced towards the nin's head, forcing Zabuza to dodge to the side, pulling his arm from the water prison as he moved away.

As the kunai passed in front of him he noticed something strange. 'That kunai, it's different form the one he threw earlier. It almost looks like an arrow' Thought Zabuza as he looked at the strangely shaped weapon. A flash of white light stunned the onlookers as Raiden appeared from thin air, directly in front of Zabuza.

"Water release: Wild Water Wave" Shouted Raiden as he inhaled and released a large burst of water from his mouth. The technique blasted Zabuza back as Raiden landed on the water rushing over to help Naruto. Zabuza growled at the two as he landed, spinning the windmill shuricken as he prepared to hurl it at the two as one thought passed through his mind, 'I'll destroy you!'

A now recovered Kakashi appeared in front of Zabuza, using his armoured hand to stop the shuricken as Raiden pulled Naruto out of the water. Kakashi glared up at Zabuza, an evil look in his eye as Sakura shouted in happiness at her sensei. "Naruto, that was an excellent plan. You've really grown, haven't you?" Praised Kakashi as Naruto began to laugh from Raiden's side as they know stood on the shore.

"I knew I couldn't beat him with my shadow clones, that was just a distraction! While fought the clones I turned into the windmill shuricken. He didn't know what to do, believe it! I used one of the clones to turn shuricken. When I threw it to Sasuke, it looked like the real shuricken. Sasuke could tell it was me in an instant." Explained the blond as he grinned from ear to ear

"He spun around so that no one could see, and pulled out his own shuricken. Now there were two shuricken's! One was real, one was me! I hid in the shadow of the real shuricken and my target was the real Zabuza! Of course I wasn't going to fight Zabuza by myself, that wasn't part of the game plan. I just wanted to get in there and break up his water prison! I didn't know his clone would be wrecked too! That was a bonus, believe it!" continued the blond.

"But what about the kunai?" questioned Kakashi as his gaze shifted from Naruto to Raiden. Raiden smiled as he began to explain. "Naruto wasn't the only one to learn something that night. I was able to learn the basics of Tobirama-sama's flying thunder god. While I don't have the strength to spam it like the fourth, I can use it in short range every couple of minutes so I made Naruto use my kunai in his plan so I could make sure it worked."

Kakashi's eye's widened at the fact that a genin could learn such an advanced technique, even if he wasn't anywhere near Minato-sensei's level. Zabuza chuckled as he began to speak. "I got distracted and lost my hold on the technique, you just caught me off guard!" said the nin as Kakashi called him out on his excuse.

"Don't flatter yourself, you weren't distracted or caught off guard! You were forced to!" Exclaimed Kakashi as he glared at Zabuza. Zabuza returned the glare as Kakashi continued. "Your water prison worked on me once, but it won't work a second time! So, what's it going to be?" Questioned Kakashi as he glared at Zabuza. The area was silent for a moment before Sasuke spoke.

"Sakura, you know what to do" Said Sasuke as Sakura nodded, the two stepping in front of Tazuna. Zabuza gave a short chuckle as he closed the shuricken, causing all four blades to push down on Kakashi's hand. The leaf jonin began to strain against the weapon as his hand was pushed down. He pushed back, sending the projectile flying off into the mist.

The two jonin jumped back as Zabuza began to weave hand seals. Kakashi easily copied the ex-mist nin with his sharingan as the sped through seals. The two finished with a cry of bird as the pushed their hands forward. "Water style: Water Dragon Bullet" Shouted the two jonin as the water in front of them began to rise, forming two serpentine bodies with dragon's heads that had glowing yellow eye's.

The two dragons began to twirl around each other in a double helix pattern. The two dragons continued to rise until they collided, sending water everywhere. As the water crashed towards the genin, and black blur appeared before the group. The figure raised his hand as the rushing water was absorbed into his palm, stopping the genin from getting soaked.

"I wondered what was taking so long, now I wish I didn't know." Said the figure as he turned to the genin, revealing that it was Fenrir as he frowned towards the group. Raiden nodded in thanks as their attention shifted back to the fight. The two jonin were struggling against each other, Kakashi holding back Zabuza's blade with a kunai.

"Aren't you going to help him?" questioned Tazuna as he looked at the newly arrived jonin. Fenrir just shrugged as he looked on the battling nin.

"No, I think Kakashi's got this covered." Said Fenrir in an uncaring tone as he looked on. The group sweat dropped at the dark user's nonchalant response as they turned back to the battle. 'Something isn't right. The sharingan can comprehend and copy technique, however those jutsu came out simultaneously. Could it be?' thought Zabuza as the two jumped apart.

The two circled round, moving as perfect reflections of each other. Zabuza stopped suddenly, Kakashi doing the same. Zabuza preformed the same stance as he had earlier when he performed the hidden mist technique, Kakashi reflected him perfectly. "He's not just following; he's acting as a mirror!" exclaimed Tazuna as he looked at the two jonin.

"How's he doing that? How Sasuke?" Questioned Sakura as she looked to the Uchia who just remained silent. 'My movements…It's as if, it's as if he knows what I'm' Thought Zabuza as Kakashi finished for him out loud

"Going to do next?" questioned Kakashi as Zabuza looked at him with wide eye's. 'What!? Is he reading my mind as well? He looks at me with that eye!' Thought Zabuza as he continued to glare at Kakashi as the silver haired jonin again spoke.

"It infuriates you, doesn't it?" Asked Kakashi as he continued to mirror Zabuza's every movement.

"Ha! All your doing is copying me! Like a monkey!" Shouted Zabuza as he gained a mad look in his eye. "You can't beat me with cheap tricks! I'll crush you!" Said the two jonin as one as Zabuza recoiled in shock. 'When I finish with you, you'll never open that monkey mouth again!' Thought Zabuza as he began to string hand seals.

His eye's widened as a shadowy figure materialised behind Kakashi. 'What is that?' wondered Zabuza as he continued to stare at the outline. The shadow quickly gained colour as it became a second Zabuza. 'is that me?! But how?! Is it a genjutsu?!' Questioned the swordsman. "Water style: Giant Vortex!" Shouted Kakashi as he finished the seals.

The water began to ripple and spin beneath him as an arc of water materialised in front of Kakashi and began to get bigger. 'What!' thought Zabuza as the arc exploded forward in a giant drilling motion. 'Impossible! I was just about to create a vortex, but he created one first.' Raged Zabuza as he was swept in the resulting current created by the technique.

The water continued, ripping up trees as Zabuza attempted to swim out of the current as he continued to rant. 'He copied my jutsu before I can even do it! I can't keep up!' thought Zabuza as the wave continued, destroying the foliage in its path as it slammed Zabuza into a tree before finally dispersing and disappearing. He was then hit by four kunai as Kakashi stood on the branch above him.

"You're finished!" Stated Kakashi as Fenrir, Tazuna and the genin walked towards the downed nin.

"But how! Can you see the future?" Questioned Zabuza as he looked at the one eyed nin, fear entering his voce for the first time since he had arrived.

"Yes. This is your last battle, ever!" Stated Kakashi as he prepared to kill Zabuza. Before he was able to do so, two senborn needles struck Zabuza in the neck, killing him instantly. The ninja and their client spun around, looking in the direction the needles came from. Fenrir growled as the group saw the masked nin standing in the tree, subtly unsealing a whip.

The masked figure chuckled as they looked down at the group, speaking in a distinctly feminine voice. "You were right; it was his last battle." Said the nin, a tinge of humour to their voice. Naruto glared up at the supposedly female nin as the wind continued to blow through the clearing, causing the shinobi's cloths to blow in the wind.

Kakashi jumped down from his branch as he landed next to Zabuza's body, testing Zabuza for a pulse as Fenrir moved towards his fellow jonin. "No vital signs." Stated Kakashi as he turned his head towards the masked nin, subtly narrowing his eye's at the supposed tracker that was barely a year or two older than his students.

"Thank you. I've been tracking Zabuza for a long time, waiting for this chance to finally take him down." Stated the shinobi as she bowed her head in thanks to the other nin. Kakashi continued to stare at the girl for a few extra moments before responding.

"By your mask, I see that you're a tracker ninja from the village hidden in the mist." Stated Kakashi as he stood up, straightening to full height as Fenrir was next to speak.

"It must be quite the achievement for you, hunter-nin, taking down one of the seven is seen as a high honour in mist if I remember correctly." Praised Fenrir as he looked over the fallen Zabuza, eyes widening slightly at the blade he carried. "Kubikirirbocho, eh? A heavy blade and an amazing ability if it's last wielders proved. Seems he wasn't as skilled as they were."

Kakashi noticed the hunter-nin tense almost unperceivably at the insult to the fallen nin's skills. "Impressive, your well informed." Complemented the tracker, her words becoming a little sharper after Fenrir's comment. Naruto rushed forward from Raiden, sliding in front of his teammates as Raiden followed calmly behind him. "Ah, a tracker!" Shouted the blond as he stared at the motionless mist ninja.

"Naruto you don't even know what that is! You missed the lesson on it like usual!" Screeched Sakura as she berated Naruto for his outburst. Sariah stepped forward and slapped the pinket over the head as she began to speak.

"Shut up you pink haired banshee, he wasn't the only one who missed that lesson, so did I so don't make it seem like it's unique to Naruto." Stated Sariah in a cheery voice, an unsettling smile on her face as she looked at her fellow kunoichi as she lost her calm persona.

Sakura glared at the silver clad kunoichi as she continued. "As I was about to say, tracker ninja have a very special role in their villages. When a rogue ninja breaks away from his village he cares all kinds of secrets with them. Trackers are specially trained to hunt down these ninjas and eliminate them to ensure that a villages secrets stay that way" Explained Sakura as Aizen nodded in agreement with her explanation.

"That's correct, I'm a member of the elite tracking unit from the village hidden in the mist. It was my duty to stop Zabuza." Stated the hunter as she looked on passively at the group. She continued to stair on passively as Naruto rushed forward and began to shout at the nin. Raiden also ignored the scene as he was absorbed into his own mind thinking.

'This is strange, why use senborn of all things to take down an opponent. That can't kill except with some extremely precise shots or if they hold poisons.' Thought Raiden as he passively watched the scene in front of him as he agreed with Kakashi's wisdom and watched the shinobi disappear with Zabuza, the whole time not knowing that his own thoughts were mirrored in the minds of his sensei and Hyuuga teammate.

Raiden was only shocked out of his thought's as Naruto began to punch the ground, watching on ass Kakashi stopped him. They began to move out again but stopped seconds later as Kakashi suddenly dropped to the ground. "What happened!" Screamed Sakura as he stared at the downed jonin.

"He's fine, just a mild case of chakra exhaustion" Explained Fenrir as he lifted the man over his shoulder and continued walking, easily blowing off their sensei just suddenly fainting. The genin of team 7 glanced uneasily to each other as team 6 just continued, now used to their sensei's to the point nature.

As they walked to the village, none of them caught a glimpse of a disappearing shadow, a glint of light off a metal plate the final sign of it ever being there.

And that's where I'm ending it! Thanks to those who have already read my store so far, I'm amazed at how many of you there are! Like last I'm asking how was it? Better, worse? Did you like it? hate it? Please comment and note flames will be ignored and I'll set the chimera on you.
