Haku: Aeris Leonheart does not own Naruto or the characters of Kingdom Hearts II.

Aeris Leonheart: Thanks Haku. I missed you so that's why I asked you to do the disclaimer for me.

Haku: That's nice, but what about Zabuza? How's he doing? Is he okay?

Aeris: Um… Zabuza? I don't know any Zabuza.

Haku: You should know. You're the author of this story.

Aeris: Look there's a sale on nail polish and senbon needles!

Haku: Where?

Aeris: (Runs away)

Haku: I don't see any- Where'd she go? Did she do something to Zabuza? (Runs after Aeris with senbon needles in hand.)

Zabuza's Heartless

At first it seemed like to Sora and friends that all the Heartless and Nobodies on the bridge had been defeated. But then they noticed they couldn't see Zabuza or Gato anywhere. Having heard Gato's scream, the assumed that the Heartless had gotten to him and that his Heartless and Nobody had been destroyed in the fray. Then they all felt the bridge shake, but fortunately it stayed intact. Sora, Donald, Goofy, Tazuna, and the three Shinobi still standing looked over at the source of the rumbling. It was black and red Heartless wielding a huge sword. The bridge had rumbled when it slammed its sword on the ground. The Heartless looked ready to attack.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy got battle ready. "You guys have to hurry and get Tazuna away from here!" Sora called to Naruto, Kakashi, and Sakura.

"Sakura, Naruto take Tazuna somewhere safe." Kakashi ordered.

"But Sensei-"Naruto began to argue.

"No buts! Now go!" ordered Kakashi. Then Kakashi fell to his knees.

"Sensei, are you all right?" asked Sakura.

"Looks like I used too much chakra." said Kakashi.

"Don't worry, we handle this." said Sora.

So Tazuna and Sakura helped Kakashi up, and the three of them made their way off the bridge. But Naruto went to join Sora, Donald, and Goofy, and got into a battle stance. "I'm gonna stay and help you guys. Believe it!" said Naruto.

"You got enough chakra left in you to keep this up?" Sora asked.

"I could do this all day and night." said Naruto.

The Heartless then charged at them, and Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Naruto rushed forward to battle it. The Heartless swung its huge sword at them, and they all dodged the attack successfully. Sora started wailing on the Heartless's weak point with his Keyblade and Goofy also bashed the same spot with his shield. Donald was casting magic like tomorrow, and of course Naruto's first course of action was the Shadow Clone Jutsu. But not long after the clones began pounding on the huge Heartless, most of them were destroyed with one swipe of the Heartless's huge sword. So then Naruto and what remained of his clones tried casting magic. But the spells didn't work. The Heartless just continued to wave its sword around trying to hit them with it.

"WWWWAAAACCCCKKKK!" Donald shouted as barely dodged getting hit by the Heartless's huge sword. Naruto then tried another barrage of shadow clones, and once again all the clones were destroyed. Then the Heartless turned its attention to Naruto and rushed at him. But just before it could reach Naruto, Sora delivered the fatal blow. The large Heartless faded away, and the heart it carried floated into the air and disappeared.

"Just one step closer to achieving our Kingdom Hearts." said the mysterious cloaked figure who was watching the battle from a distance. He wasn't upset about Zabuza's Heartless losing, because he knew the battle wasn't over yet.
