Chapter 4: The Unexpected Enemy

The group was now on a small row boat. Heavy mist was surrounding them. They had to stay hidden and quiet. If they were spotted they would be killed.

While they were sitting, Kakashi found this as the perfect opportunity to gather information on who they were up against. The enemy turned out to be Gatoh, a very rich, powerful, corrupt man.

"Then why not request more suitable ninja?" asked Kakashi.

"My country is very poor. Even the feudal Lord doesn't have much. But I understand if you abort this mission as soon as I hit the shore. It's not your fault that I would be killed instantly or the fact that my sweet little grandson would cry and cry. Neither, would my daughter hating the Leaf Village and being lonely for the rest of her life would be your fault." Tazuna said, letting a false tear run down his cheek.

He's a good actor…man; I'm feeling sorry for him now… thought Kameko.

Kakashi thought about this for a moment and responded. "Fine. I guess we have no choice."

Finally they arrived at the docks. "Alright, take me home safely." Tazuna commanded.

They walked down a narrow passageway. Naruto was trying to figure a way on how to beat Sasuke. Sakura was obsessing over Sasuke, trying to get him on a date after this mission. Sasuke was, well being Sasuke. Kameko was staring into space, enjoying the somewhat peace and quiet.

Then, a gigantic sword flew from the trees, luckily missing the bridge builder by a few inches. The sword sunk into a tree and a man appeared on it.

He had short, brown, spiky hair. His headband was tied around his forehead. Bandages covered his mouth, making him look like a mummy. He wore no shirt, and had striped pants that went really high. He had something around his arms and legs. (A/N can't tell what they are!)

"Hey….you're Momochi Zabuza, the exiled ninja of the Hidden Village of the Mist." Said Kakashi.

…exiled? Thought Kameko.

"Hand over the old man." Instructed Zabuza.

"I can't win like this." Stated Kakashi as he pulled his headband up so that his eye was no longer covered. "Fight me."

"I'm honored that I get to see the Sharingan that I have heard so much about."

"Team 7, protect the bridge builder and do not get involved in this fight."

Naruto interrupted the two. "What's Sharingan?"

Sasuke came in and explained. (A/N too lazy to write the explanation!)

"Enough talk. I need to kill that man right away." Then, Kakashi and Zabuza immersed into battle.

Team 7 circled around the bridge builder. Naruto in front. Sakura on the right. Sasuke on the left and Kameko was at the back.

Zabuza appeared over the ocean. He made some hand signs. "Mist Concealment." A heavy mist surrounded everyone. Causing them not to see anything.

"Where did he go?" asked Kameko.

"Be careful." Kakashi commanded. "It's possible that you will die before you even know that he was there.

Sasuke was worrying about his life. He took his kunai about to stab himself when Kakashi spoke. "Sasuke, don't worry. I will protect you four with my life. I will never let anyone on my team die."

Then Zabuza emerged between team 7 and the bridge builder. Kakashi stabbed Zabuza to only find that he was a water clone. Zabuza did the same to also find out that Kakashi was a water clone too.

Zabuza and Kakashi continued their fight. Throwing punches and kicks everywhere. Kakashi was kicked into the water. Kakashi stuck his head out of the water. Zabuza appeared behind him.

Zabuza did more hand signs and trapped Kakashi in what appeared to be a water ball. "Hydro-prison technique."

Zabuza snickered. "You can't escape. I will finish those four brats then I will come back to you."

Zabuza made a water clone and appeared in front of the genin. Sasuke charged at him and was thrown back. Naruto did the same. He too was thrown back.

"Naruto you baka! You can't take him alone! Even Sasuke-kun couldn't touch him!"

Naruto got up and stood by his team.

"Guys," started Kameko. "We have to work together. We are no match for him if we go at it alone, but together, we might rescue sensei. Here's the plan." Kameko explained it as quietly as she could.

"Let's do it!" said Naruto.

Zabuza attacked and hit Sasuke. Sasuke was then pinned to the ground. Naruto made hand signs and duplicated himself. He attacked Zabuza but he easily defeated the clones. Naruto threw Sasuke a Fuuma Shuriken. Kamkeko tried followed up with her attacks.

"Water Style: Foxwolves!" Three fox like wolves charged at Zabuza. Zabuza destroyed them, but it was only a distraction. Right after that, the shuriken came swirling towards the Zabuza clone. The Shuriken hit the clone, and then it continued towards the actual Zabuza.

Zabuza caught it with his free hand and laughed sinisterly. "Nice try."

But he didn't expect that another Fuuma Shuriken to be in the shadow of the previous one. Zabuza dodged that one too, but it wasn't really a shuriken. Poof! Naruto appeared behind Zabuza, the real one. Naruto then threw a kunai at the hand that was holding Kakashi captive. Zabuza let go of his technique and Kakashi escaped.

"Yes!" Screamed Naruto.

"Way to go!" cheered Sakura.

"Nice work." Said Kakashi. "You all have grown."

Kakashi and Zabuza then backed from each other. Zabuza was making some complicated hands signs, and Kakashi did the same.

"Water Element: Water dragon bullet!" Both said at the same time. The two water dragons hit each other. Underneath that, Kakashi was blocking Zabuza's sword with a kunai.

Then they jumped apart again. They made more hand signs, but this time Kakashi finished earlier knocking Zabuza into a tree.

"How did you?" said Zabuza, referring to the fact that Kakashi did the attack before he did. "Can you see into the future?"

"Yeah, you are going to die." Said Kakashi sternly. Then, some needles shot from out of nowhere and hit Zabuza in the neck. Blood splattered and Zabuza fell to the ground.

Everyone was shocked. Then a boy with a mask appeared on a nearby tree. "It was true. He did die."

Then Kakashi went to Zabuza and checked his pulse. "He's dead."

"Thank you." Said the boy as he bowed. "I was looking for an opening to kill him."

"You must be a hunter-nin from the Hidden Village in the Mist." Kakashi said.

"A hunter-nin?" questioned Naruto.

"You should have paid attention in the academy." Sighed Kameko.

"Ya Naruto," agreed Sakura. "They are those who assassinate exiled ninja like Zabuza that go against the village that they were born in. They do it to keep secrets of the village safe."

"Your battle ends here for now." And with that said, the boy in the mask took Zabuza and disappeared.

Kakashi turned to his team. "Alright, the mission is not over! We must now take Tazuna home."

"Sorry about that everyone! You may all rest at my house!" Apologized Tazuna, relieved that he was still alive.

"OK! Let's cheer up and head out!"


They arrived at the bridge builder's house. It was sort of on the small side. Will we be able to fit? Thought Kameko.

"Boy am I starved!" hollered Naruto.

"I'll tell my daughter to make us something to eat. You guys have worked hard." Offered Tazuna. They all entered in. A young lady appeared. She had long blue hair and was very pretty. "This is my daughter."

"Welcome" she said as she bowed. "and thank you for taking care of my father."

"Can you please make us some dinner?" Tazuna's daughter (A/N: I don't know her name.) left to the kitchen.

A few moments later, dinner was ready and everyone sat around the table. Tazuna's grandson was around eight years old. He wouldn't smile, which was strange for a young boy like him. His name was Inari.

"I'm sorry that we don't have a lot of rooms, for each of you to have your own." apologized the young mother.

"No matter." Grinned Kakashi.

"Hey, sensei. How are we going to sleep? There are two rooms but five of us. Three if you count the living room." Asked Kameko.

Please, please, let the arrangements be the way I want. I don't want to sleep with… Kameko begged in her mind.

"Well, let's see. If we put Sasuke and Naruto together, they will surely kill each other. No. If Sakura goes with Sasuke, he might kill himself, so that's a no…" at this Sakura frowned. "Well, it's decided. Naruto with Sakura and Kameko you are with Sasuke and I have the living room!"

Damn it! Damn you Kakashi-sensei! Kameko angrily thought.

"Kakashi-sensei!" wined Sakura. "Don't you think that I will kill myself because I'm with Naruto?"

"No, because if you kill yourself you won't see Sasuke anymore," Sakura inwardly agreed. "and Kameko, you're not a Sasuke-fan, and although you two despise each other, you have enough self-control to not do anything." Kakashi stood up. "Oh, and we will train while we are here, starting tomorrow. Night!"

Everyone, upset at the sleeping arrangements, got up and went to the rooms.

Kameko and Sasuke entered in to find only one big bed.

"I will sleep on the floor. Since I bet you want all the beauty rest that you can get for your boyfriend, Sas-gay." Snickered Kameko.

Sasuke clenched his teeth. "I. Am. Not. Gay." He said.

Kameko sighed, "Just go to sleep." Kameko grabbed a pillow from the bed and threw it on the floor. Then she headed towards the window and opened it.

"What are you doing?" Sasuke asked.

"I can't sleep when it's too stuffy. I like the cold, outside air. So, I am opening this window."

"Then go sleep outside." Sasuke said as he turned around on the bed and pulled the covers on himself.

"Go sleep with your boyfriend." Kameko spat. She laid down on the floor. Realizing that she had no covers, she took some of Sasuke's. So it was draping off of the bed.

"Go live in a fox whole."

Kameko just sighed. "Just go to sleep. You'll need it, so you won't look as stupid in whatever we are going to do tomorrow."

And with that, Sasuke huffed and closed his eyes. Kameko just stared into space. She couldn't fall asleep. She decided to talk to the sky.

"Hey, mom, Dad, Brother? Did you see me today? I am going to get stronger. And don't worry, I will not use that technique untill I absolutely need it, which is when I kill him. I will be the one to avenge you guys. He will pay." she whispered as she tightly clenched her fists.

"You shouldn't talk to yourself. It will only make you seem wierder than you already are." Kameko was surprised. She thought he was asleep.

"Who asked you?" she snapped.

"and you're wrong..." about what? she thought. "I will be the one to kill him."

Kameko snickered. "We'll see." She turned to her side and went to sleep.
