A/N: When we left off Naruto and Haku had just decided to run away together and Zabuza and Kakashi began their fight. So without further ado, lets pick up were we left off.

Kakashi vs. Zabuza

Both Combatants didn't move an inch as they stood in complete silence across from eachother standing comepletly still waiting for the moment to strike.

The moment a small animal in the bushes moved and rustled the leaves, it was like a gun was the signal to continue the battle as both men charged at eachother with their weapons poised and ready to strike.

When they were within striking range, Zabuza swung out his sword in a horizantol slash, attempting to cleave Kakashi in half but Kakashi dodged by jumping over him and landing behind him.

As Zabuza turned around he heard a Kakashi yell out his attack..."Shadow Shurikan Jutsu" was yelled as Kakashi launched a mass of shurikan at Zabuza.

Zabuza turned around and slashed the shurikan out of the air and prepared to strike when Kakashi was already upon him and was preparing to stab him in the chest with a kunai.

The moment that Kakashi's kunai piereced Zabuza's skin he exploded into a puddle of water.

"Water clones" stated Kakashi plainly as he began to scan the area in search of his opponent.

Just then three Zabuzas appeared around him and and swung their swords trying to catch Kakashi in the middle of their attacks.

Kakashi ducked below the swings and used his hands to push himself up and kick one of the Zabuzas in the chin which bursted into a puddle of water upon impact.

As Kakashi landed he threw several kunai and shurikan at the two remaining Zabuza, who both exploded when the weapons collided with them.

Right after the two clones were vanquished Kakashi heard a low and deep voice in the distance...

"Hidden Mist Jutsu" said Zabuza as the area began to be shrouded with mist.

"Tch is that all you got Kakashi, if so then please just give up and let me kill you because this truly is getting annoying" said Zabuza as his voice radiated throughout the entire battlefield.

"Why such the rush Zabuza aren't you willing to have an exicting battle" said Kakashi

Just then Zabuza jumped out of the way as he heard a noise behind him.

At the moment Zabuza jumped Kakashi jumped from behind him with a kunai barely missing his side.

Zabuza retaliated by slamming his sword down on top of Kakashi who exploded in a cloud of smoke.

"Shadow Clones" stated Zabuza annoyed at the fact he hadn't ended the battle like he so hoped.

Just then Kakashi landed within site of Zabuza and they began to stare at eachother.

"I hope you don't plan on dragging this out to long, I am really hoping to be able to land the death blow on the bridge builder before my partner does" stated Zabuza as he raised his sword out in front of him with the point leveled straight at Kakashi.

It was then that Kakashi remembered the person Zabuza brought with him.

"Damn it, I completely forgot about the other guy, it's because he ran off with that idiot Naurto" cursed Kakashi as he began to think of what his next plan was, but he was interupted by Zabuza.

"Hm entertain me Kakashi, I watched the fight with the demon brothers and I'm curious as to what hate you all hold towards the blonde brat" stated Zabuza with a hint of curiosity in his voice.

"Unfortunately I cannot say due to law of the third Hokage not to speak of it within the village, but know that if I told you, you would probably want the little bastard dead as much as the rest of the village" stated Kakashi with venom in his voice.

"Ah but does your law not permit you to speak outside the village" questioned Zabuza who at this point is incredibly curious as to why the Hokage of the leaf village would instate a law that revolves completely around a single kid.

Kakashi paused as he realized that the law technichly did not state that, and that it was just assumed not to speak of it oustisde of the village or inside the village.

"You're right Zabuza, I can speak of it outside of the village and since you are going to die anyway, I might as well tell you" said Kakashi with a jovial voice as he found a flaw in the third's law.

Zabuza waited anciously for Kakashi to began as his curiosity could wait no longer for a secret as large as this.

"The brat holds the most powerful demon in all existence inside of him...he holds the power of the Kyubbi No Kitsune, The Nine Tailed Fox!" stated Kakashi.

Haku and Naruto

"Alright now that we have decided to run away together, there are a couple things we have to do first" said Naruto as He jumped into a nearby tree.

"What do we need to do" asked Haku as she jumped into the tree to stand next to Naruto.

"I want to perform my last note of good will for the leaf village, even if they don't deserve it" stated Naruto as he began to jump towards the nearby town that he and his team were headed towards.

As Haku began to follow she asked "What are you going to do"

"First, I am going to complete this mission under the guise that I am still a loyal member of team seven...

Second, I am going to end the lives of the emo king and a pink banshee!,

and Finally I will kill, Zabuza or Kakashi, whoever is left after the fight they are having back there". said Naruto.

"Okay but I am going to help you, and what if they both survive the fight" questioned Haku.

"That's alright I already have the plan set up, unfortunatley we won't be able to see eachother for a while for this plan to work" said Naruto as he came to a stop with Haku stopping behind him.

"But then how will I know if you are okay or not?" "Judging by your teams reactions to you being hurt and saving them, if they see you and you didn't help in the fight they will punish you severely won't they" questioned Haku with worry in her voice.

"I am expecting them to and I expect you not to do anything when that happens" said Naruto

"What do you meen am I not going back to Zabuza?" questioned Haku as she figured they would both be returning to their respective groups.

"NO! you will not return to that person!" yelled Naruto putting venom in his voice when he even reffered to Zabuza.

"But why not, it would be easier if I just returned to Zabuza until the time to strike arrived" asked Haku as she recoiled from Naruto yelling.

"Simple, I was concious to hear the two of you talking, and I heard that he said he was going to "punish" you later, and I'm not so stupid as to think he is going to smack you on the wrist and send you to bed without dinner." "I said I would always protects you and I meant it, so don't even think about going back to him." said Naruto as he turned towards Haku and put on a smile when he was done talking to her.

"Okay, I will come with you, but if they try to hurt you, I can't be held responsible for my actions." said Haku as she looked towards Naruto with a smile on her face.

The two stared at eachother before Naruto looked down at the ground and broke the silence.

"Let's go, step one, inform Zabuza of your departure and if possible take him out while we are at it" said Naruto as he faced towards where the battle was.

"Okay Let's go" said Haku as she and Naruto began to run in the direction of Wave town and the battle.

End

A/N: Okay, that was pretty good if I do say so, but as always I am counting on all of your opinions to help inspire me to continue. As always all reviews are accepted (Including Flames). I plan to make the next chapter very long since this one was rather short. I am sorry for that but this just felt like a good place to stop. I will get the next chapter up ASAP.
