Not much to say here

"we are moving early team, I have reasons to believe a bandit group is waiting on the normal route so we have to take a longer path." the team nodded, milling around tazuna with Sasuke shoving in front, Kakashi going back and Ino opposite of Naruto.
They set off without much chatter until Ino asked some question about wave ninja, when Naruto started tuning things out.
'is it ready yet fox'
"Close but not quite... give me another hour or two."
'awww'
Later
'Weird, it hasn't rained in months' was the collective thought of Kakashi, Sasuke, and Naruto. Ino notice the puddle but didn't think any better of it, and Kurama was busy putting something big together.
'whats the status fox, I might need it soon'
"caaaaalmate. It will be ready when its ready"
'you instill so much confidence oh captain my captain.'
"never again will you speak those words"
'fair enough'
in the outside world the team had just passed the puddle when it exploded in a spray of water and two ninja with what appeared to be a chain of welded together shuriken connecting them charged Kakashi, the closest one, entangling him in the chain before each yanking hard, appearing to eviscerate him.
"KAKASHI SENSEI" the three young ninja cried out, Naruto's judgment too clouded to sense for Kakashi's hirashin seal. Ino fell to the back, between the ninjas and Tazuna, while Naruto and Sasuke each charged there own opponent of the hidden mist brothers. Sasuke pinned there chain to a tree with a shuriken, followed by a very precise kunai with locked it in, causing the brothers to break the chain and charge in tandem.
Sasuke leapt into the air, driving gozu back with a kick to the chest while Naruto punched mezu in the solar plexus so hard that he sent him flying back through a couple of trees, more than Sasuke's kick was able to do. The two brothers lay dazed as our two heroes stared at the remains of Kakashi. "You will pay for that." Naruto said, Sasuke nodding in agreement. While they were looking the 'remains' of Kakashi turned to wood and the real scarecrow appeared, quickly tying up the two demon brothers with there own chain. "Good job you three, I'm proud of you." Sasuke and Naruto were sweat dropping, and Ino very calmly, in fact way to calmly for any woman walked toward Kakashi with a tic mark on her forehead. She, in a calm manner slapped him before turning on her heel and walking back to Tazuna, muttering obscenities. "Damn dirty porn reading baka scarecrow."
Naruto laughed and Sasuke and Kakashi smiled, Tazuna staring at them like Kakashi had come back from the dead. They reformed ranks and set out.
Later
"GET DOWN" Kakashi screamed, taking Tazuna down with him. Sasuke dropped and Naruto brought Ino down with him. Millisecond later a large cleaver flew over their heads, sticking into a nearby tree nearly cutting the tree down. After that a large man without a shirt shushined onto the handle of the blade, his jutsu almost chakraless, and completely undetectable to the genin making him seem to appear from nowhere.
'Kyuubi, is it done or not?'
"your in luck kit, buy me five minutes"
'urgh' Naruto thought in vein. "Kakashi sensei, buy us five minutes!"
Kakashi looked to Naruto, wondering where the five minutes had come from, but seeing the look on his students face he knew he was planning something big so he uncovered his sharingan, but before looking to Zabuza he noticed that red chakra was cloaking Naruto entire body according to his copy eye. He raised a brow but turned to Zabuza.
And, cliffhanger. I know, I know, im evil. Ill try to get the next chapter out a lot quicker than this one, but I felt like I was putting too much content into one chapter even though it isnt that long.
