Chapter 5:
The Exiled Ninja Makes His Move!
BOREDOM HIT'S ONCE AGAIN!! We were on a motor boat in the water, heading toward Tazuna's home. And man were we going slow! It could be because the motor wasn't actually on. No, we had to be quiet and sneaky so the motor was off and we had to row the whole way. Noone said a word and there was absolute silence. Not exactly my idea of fun. And this time I couldn't even play a game to keep me occupied! I had to be all quiet... Boooooooring!
"We should be able to see the bridge soon. If we move along the side of the bridge, we'll be at the Country of the Wave," The man who was operating the boat said.
Just like the man had said the bridge came into view. And man was it big! And to think the bridge wasn't even fully built yet! I could only imagine how huge it'd be once done!
"Whoa! It's huge!" Naruto shouted. Even though he hadn't shouted that loud, it seemed really loud because of how quiet it was.
"Quiet! I told you no noise! Why do you think we're traveling like this, huh? Cutting off the engine and rowing, moving through the dense fog? So they don't see us!" The boat operator yelled in a whisper. Who's they? I wondered.
"Mr. Tazuna? Before we reach the shore, I have to ask you something," Kakashi said, "The men that were after you I need to know why." Psh I already know this... I drifted away in a daydream not paying any attention.
I wonder if I'll get to see Gaara-kun? He is soooo cute!! I thought squealing. And so my daydream went on being about me getting to meet the all mighty Gaara.
"Sayuki!" Someone shouted. Man did they sound irritated! Whoever Sayuki was I felt bad for her! Oh...wait... Darn it I'm Sayuki! I snapped out of my thoughts and turned my head to see I was the only one left in the boat, well besides the man who operated the boat that is. Kakashi looked at me scornfully and the other's looked rather annoyed.
"Are you planning on getting out or not?" Sasuke asked in a mean way.
"Heh heh heh," I laughed nervously stepping out of the boat.
"Okay, take me to my home and I mean get me there in one piece!" The Bridge Builder demanded.
"Right," Kakashi nodded.
We all started walking. Hm... I thought, What's supposed to happen next again? I can't really remember... I should of paid more attention during this arc. Oh well...
I looked up to see Naruto ahead of all of us. He had a kunai out and was shouting, "Over there!" Naruto threw his kunai behind a bush, what ever it's target was I couldn't see.
"Naruto, those are kunai knife! They're dangerous!" Kakashi yelled.
"Hey you little dwarf! Don't scare us like that!!" Tazuna shouted.
"I see someone hiding over there! No..is he over there?...There!" Naruto threw another kunai, again the target was unseen.
Kakashi stepped behind the bush where Naruto had thrown the kunai. He stared down at something and we all moved to see what he was looking at. It was a small snow white bunny rabbit! The kunai Naruto threw was lodged into a tree above it's head. And it seemed to have passed out! POOR BUNNY!
"Oh my gosh!" I shouted rushing over and scooping up the poor animal in my arms.
"A rabbit!" Naruto gasped, "Oh I'm so sorry little rabbit! I'm so so sorry!"
I cuddled the rabbit closer, "Oh the poor baby! Naruto! You could have killed it!"
"I'm sorry!" Naruto whined.
"All this fuss over a rodent..." Tazuna grumbled.
"Hey! Animals have feelings too you know! And they don't deserve having kunai's thrown at them!" I eyed Naruto at the last part of my statement.
"I said I'm sorry!"
I kissed the rabbit on the head and gently laid it down on the ground.
"You should have your kunai's taken away for that!" I said to Naruto. I had the tendency to get overly mad when a animal was hurt.
"And I thought you were the nice one!" Naruto said.
"I am!" I replied
"Look out!" Kakashi called out and we all dove for the ground. After a few seconds we all slowly got up.
"What was that abo-" I started but then noticed someone standing on a tree branch. He had no shirt on, but he did have pants. Thank god! A mask similar to Kakashi's covered his face, only it was white. A very large sword was wedged into the tree he was standing on.
"Well, well if it isn't Zabuza Momochi, the exiled ninja of the Hidden Village of Mist," Kakashi said walking closer the Zabuza.
I shuttered. He's so much more creepy in person... Just his presence is terrifying...
Naruto pulled out a kunai and got ready to charge at Zabuza. "Your in the way. Get back," Kakashi ordered.
"But why?" Naruto asked.
"He is not like those other ninja. He's in a whole other league," Kakashi replied.
"I'm guessing you are Kakashi, the Sharingan user," Zabuza said. I looked over and saw Sasuke's eyes widen in surprise. Oh! So soon we get to see Kakashi use the sharingan!!
Inner Sayuki: CHA!
"I'm sorry but you have to let me take the old geezer," Zabuza said as if it were no big deal.
"Everyone, form the swastika formation! Protect Tazuna and do not join the battle," Kakashi ordered us.
What the heck is the swastika formation!? I thought confused.
"I taught you teamwork, now it's time to use it!" Kakashi finished. He placed his hand on his headband and slowly moved it up, revealing his left eye. His left, sharingan eye I should say.
Inner Sayuki: Kakashi sensi is so cool!
Yeah he is! I thought agreeing with Inner Sayuki.
"I'm honored that I can see the Sharingan that I've heard about," Zabuza stated.
"You guys keep saying Sharingan, but what is it?" Naruto asked.
"Sharingan. The eye creates it, and it is the power that the pupil generates. The user of this visual jutsu or doujutso can instantly see and comprehend any genjutsu, taijutsu, and ninjutsu, and cancel their effects. Sharingan is one of the types of eyes that those doujutsu users possess. But that's the only ability the Sharingan possesses," Sasuke explained.
"You got it right boy," Zabuza said "But you only scratched the surface. The Sharingan can analyze the opponents technique and then copy it to the smallest detail."
All of a sudden it became extremely foggy. The fog was so dense I could barely see a thing at all.
"When I was in the Hidden Village of Mist's assassination squad... your information was listed in the bingo book I carried asking for your capture.It also noted this... The man who copied more than 1000 techniques, Kakashi the copy ninja," Zabuza said. Jeez, bad guys sure love to hear themself's talk!
"Wow!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Let's cut the chit-chat here. I have to kill that geezer right away," Zabuza stated. As if on cue me, Sasuke, and Naruto jumped in front of the Bridge Builder, each of us with kunai in hand. "But, Kakashi, it would seem I have to defeat you first." All of a sudden Zabuza wasn't standing there anymore. He had disappeared taking his giant sword with him. Not even a second later he reappeared standing on the surface of the water.
I hadn't even realized the water there. It was such a big amount I'm surprised I missed it. AGH! Casey you have to start paying more attention! Gah, I mean Sayuki!
"He's there!" Naruto said pointing to where Zabuza stood. Zabuza suddenly disappeared again.
"He disappeared!" Naruto said pointing out the obvious. Kakashi then walking in front of us.
I gulped, "K-kakashi-sensi?" I asked, my voice quivering.
"He'll try to eliminate me first, but..." Kakashi trailed off as if trying to think of the right words to say.
"But...?" I repeated.
"Zabuza Momochi, he was in the Hidden Village ANBU, and was know for his 'silent killing' techniques," Kakashi continued.
"S-silent?" Naruto asked, his voice shaking just as much as mine.
"As the name suggests, it happens in an instant without sound or warning of any kind. It's so fast, you pass from this life without realizing what's happened. The Sharingan can not fully neutralize it, so don't lower your guard," Kakashi explained.
Inner Sayuki: What kinda ninja lower's their guard? Not this kunoichi! CHA!
Inner Sayuki sure is confident...
"Well, if we fail we only lose our lives," Kakashi said as if were something simple like only losing a quarter in a bet.
"Heh, heh...Yeah...Only our lives. Not big deal," I said nervously. No big deal!? Who was I kidding!? I'm too young and amazing to die!
"The mist is getting thicker and thicker!" Naruto stated.
"The land of waves is surrounded by ocean, the swirling mist is ever present," Tazuna said.
"I-I can't see Kakashi-sensi anymore!" I said. The mist had gotten so thick I couldn't even see more than a few feet ahead of me.
"Eight points," Zabuza's said in a bone chilling voice, "The larynx, spine, lungs, liver, jugular, vein, collarbone, kidney, and heart." What is he talking about?
"Now, which vital organ do you want to be struck at?" Zabuza asked.
"H-how about none? I-I don't suppose I could get a rain-check for when I'm already dead?" I replied. Yep, even in life or death matter's I still had to get my little smart-aleck comments in.
"No," Zabuza said bluntly.
"Didn't think so..." I said. Then I saw Kakashi again! I'm so glad to see you Kakashi sensi! Save us from this creep!
I looked to see Sasuke holding his kunai tightly in both hands, he had it pointed straight at his stomach and was slowly inching it closer.
"Sasuke stop it!" I yelled at him, "Stop going all emo on us!"
"Sasuke!" Kakashi said, "Don't worry. I'll protect the three of you with my life. I will not let my comrades die."
I looked around but couldn't see Zabuza anywhere. "It's over!" I heard his voice say followed by his evil laugh. Zabuza then appeared. Kakahi stabbed a kunai threw him without hesitation. Instead of the expected blood pouring out, it was water.
"It's just a water clone!
"Sensei! Behind you!" Naruto shouted. It was too late. Kakashi hadn't even turned around when Zabuza cut him in half with that big sword of his.
My breathing stopped. I couldn't breath. "K-kakashi..." I muttered staring wide eyed.
Kakashi's body then turned into water. It was just a water clone! My breath came back to me.
In the blink of an eye Kakashi appeared behind Zabuza, holding a kunai at his neck. "Don't move. This is the end!" He said.
Zabuza then started laughing like a mad man. His laughter grew louder and louder. He's about to die and he laughs!?
"Is this the end? You really don't get it do you?" Zabuza asked as if we were complete idiots.
"Get what?"
"You're technique is nothing but an imitation... I'll never be defeated by a copycat ninja like you," Zabuza chucked, "But you're pretty good. I see you copied my water clone technique when you said, 'I will not let my comrades die'. By making your clone speak as if it was the real one, you diverted my attention to the clone, while the real one used the Mist Concealment technique to hide and observe my movements. However..." Another Zabuza appeared right behind Kakashi-sensi! "I'm not that easy to fool." The Zabuza Kakashi had a hold of turned into water.
"That one's a fake, too!" Naruto shouted.
Zabuza swung his giant sword at Kakashi. Kakashi ducked, avoiding the sword. Zabuza planted his swors in the ground and kicked Kakashi so har that he flew back. Zabuza snatched his sword from the ground and ran towards where Kakashi was. He stopped running randomly. "Makibishi Spikes?" He said, "How idiotic." He jumped up and disappeared. I saw Kakashi fall into the water.
"His hand to hand combat skill is superb too," Sasuke stated.
"Psh, not as good as mine," I said grinning. Okay so maybe that wasn't true, but he didn't have to know that! I did a round house kick to the air to back up my statement.
"Now's not the time to be showing off. Pay attention to the mission at hand!" Sasuke commanded.
"Yes sir!" I saluted. In the midst of a serious moment, I can't be serious.
Finally I saw Kakashi surface. He was soaked and wet, his hair was sticking to his skin. Truthfully he looked kinda cute...
Inner Sayuki: Kakashi-sensi is cool and hot!
Agh! Stop making my 12 year old mind think such things!
Zabuza was now behind Kakashi, doing a bunch of hand signs. "Water Prison Jutsu!" he yelled out and suddenly Kakashi was imprisoned in some giant blue water orb! Zabuza had of his hands inside the water prison. "You fell for it," Zabuza said with a laugh, "This is a special prison that you can't escape from. You give me a hard time when you're moving."
"Hey! You can't do that! That's like gotta be against the rules or something!" I yelled causing Zabuza to turn and look at me.
"Yeah! Let Kakashi-sensi go!" Naruto added.
"I have no intention of doing that," Zabuza turned to back to Kakashi, "I'll take care of you later. But first I think I'll get rid of your little brats."
"Eek!" I yelped taking a step back. Sasuke jumped in front of me with his kunai ready for action.
"You dobes need to lean to keep your mouth shut," Sasuke said.
"Water clone jutsu!" Zabuza said. Water started to make the form of another Zabuza. That's just what we needed! Two of his creepy self! "The three of you have forehead protectors on as if you think you're ninja. But ninja refers to someone who has gone through numerous life and death situations. In other words, you can call yourself a ninja when you appear in my bingo book."
Inner Sayuki: We are so ninja!!
"You three aren't ninja," Zabuza's clone said. The fog started to get worse. It had become so thick that I couldn't see Zabuza or his clone anymore! Then I saw Naruto getting kicked back. His headband flew off of him and Zabuza stepped on it.
"Naruto!" I yelled concerned.
"You're just a bunch of kids," Zabuza finished.
"Listen! Get the bridge builder and run!" Kakashi yelled to us, "You can't win this fight! He's using all of his power to keep me in this prison so he can only fight you with his water clone and the clone can not go far from the real body. So run!"
"What!? You can't be serious? What kind of ninja would that make us if we abandoned you, sensi!? You said it yourself; those who abandon their friends are scum!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah! Believe it!" Our favorite blonde ninja agreed with his famous catch phrase.
"We have to do it!" Sasuke said and then started to charge at Zabuza throwing multiple shuriken at him. Zabuza easily deflected them with his sword. Sasuke jumped in the air and he starting descending with a kunai in hand, point straight towards Zabuza. Zabuza looked up and put his hand up, which Sasuke's neck lodged into. Then Zabuza threw Sasuke a few feet. I watched with wide eyes; I was so nervous, and not to mention worried! I saw Sasuke slowly get to his feet.
"He got Sasuke!" Naruto shouted. Zabuza the water clone was now in front of Naruto!
"Naruto! Get away from him!" I shouted. Naruto put his hand on the ground to escape, but it was the hand he had injured earlier! Ouch... I thought.
Naruto stood up and faced Zabuza. Then he charged right at Zabuza! "Naruto! NO!" Kakashi yelled. But Naruto didn't listen. He was kicked back as soon as he reached Zabuza. That's when I noticed Naruto had his headband gripped firmly in his hand, and he was slightly grinning.
"His aim was for the headband? So cool..." I said to myself.
"Hey you, the freak with no eye brows," Naruto said making me slightly laugh, "Put this in your bingo book. The ninja who will become Hokage of the Hidden Village of Konoha one day..." Naruto stood up straight and proud and secured his headband on his forehead. "He never backs down and his name is... Naruto Uzamaki!" Man Naruto is just too cool! "Sasuke, lend me your ear for a sec!"
"What do you want?" Sasuke asked.
"I have a plan!"
"I can't believe you want to work as a team," Sasuke said.
In just one brief moment Sasuke and Naruto both knew the plan. No words were said, but it was as if they could read each-others minds. Just by simply looking in to the other's eyes they were able to determine what to do. That's amazing... I thought amazed.
"Alright guys, let's go wild!" Naruto shouted.
"Wait, what am I supposed to do?" I asked. I most certainly didn't have that awesome mind reading power! Sure, I remembered what the plan was from the series, but in the series I wasn't part of the team!
"Protect the Bridge Builder," Naruto instructed.
"Got it," I said moving in front of Tazuna with my kunai ready for action."Stay behind me!"
At least I don't have to take on that freaky Zabuza! I can barely fight, I'd probably die!
"Okay, ready? Let's take this guy down!" Naruto used the back of his hand to wipe off the small amount of blood trickling down his chin.
"Big words for such a little man!" Zabuza's clone said with a laugh, "You think you have a chance at victory?"
"What are you all doing!?" Kakashi yelled, "I told you to run away! The outcome of this battle was decided when I got caught! Our mission was to protect the bridge builder. Have you forgotten that?"
"Old man..." Naruto turned towards Tazuna with question in his eyes.
"Don't worry. I caused all of this in the first place," Tazuna said, "I won't say that I want to survive no matter what. Sorry, everyone. Fight as much as you want."
"Are you ready?" Naruto asked Sasuke.
"You sure don't learn, do you?" Zabuza asked, "Still pretending to be ninja?"
"We're not pretending!" I said in defense. Jeez, doesn't this guy know a real ninja when he see's one!? Obviously not!
"When I was your age, my hands were already soaked in blood," Zabuza said.
"The Demon Zabuza..." Kakashi said.
"Oh, I see you've heard of me," The real Zabuza said.
"A long time ago, the hidden Village of the Mist was known as the Village of the bloody Mist," Kakashi started explaining, "In that village there was an obstacle that existed to become a ninja."
"So you also know about the final test," Zabuza said.
"The final test?" Naruto asked. Zabuza began to laugh. "What's the big deal? We had to take a final test too!"
"Not like this one..." Kakashi replied.
"What is this 'final test'?" Zabuza began laughing uncontrollably.
"Students killing each other," Zabuza finally said, "Friends who have eaten from the same pot, are separated into groups of two and forced to fight each other... Until one of them is killed. This is done with friends that have helped each other, shared their dreams, and competed together."
"Ten years ago, the Hidden Village of Mist had to go through a reformation," Kakashi said, "Because in the previous year, a monster appeared that finally decided it. A small boy who had not even gained the right to become a ninja, killed more than 100 of the candidates that year, and killed them all without hesitation."
"That was fun," Zabuza said with a chuckle.
I then started shaking with fear. "Y-you think that was fun?" I asked my voice slightly trembling, "You think killing people is fun? What kind of sick monster are you!?"
"Killing the loud mouthed one is going to be most enjoyable," Zabuza said referring to me. I started shaking even more. Get a hold of yourself! I thought with a mental scold.
Then Zabuza attacked! He elbowed Sasuke hard in the gut making him fly back, coughing up blood. Zabuza pinned Sasuke to the ground with his foot.
"Die!" Zabuza yelled crushing Sasuke with his foot.
"Darn it!" Naruto made a hand sign, "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!"
A lot of Naruto clones appeared and surrounded Zabuza. Each Naruto clone had a kunai knife in hand. Just as the Naruto clones jumped on Zabuza, Sasuke was able to escape, using the Naruto clones as distractions. There were so many Naruto clones on top of Zabuza that you couldn't see him at al. All of a sudden all the Naruto clones went flying! One by one the Naruto clones disappeared in clouds of smoke.
"His skills are too advanced! There's no way they could win!" Tazuna shouted from behind me.
"Have a little faith!" I shouted back.
I spotted Naruto skidding across the ground; He was digging in his backpack. He took something out and threw it at Sasuke. Sasuke caught it and spun around once.
"Demon Wind Shuriken! Windmill of Shadows!" He said.
"A simple shuriken won't work on me," Zabuza stated.
Sasuke jumped up and threw the giant shuriken towards Zabuza. The shuriken went right past the fake Zabuza, and headed for the real one! But the real Zabuza caught the shuriken easily with his free hand. Zabuza was so distracted with catching the shuriken that he didn't even realize there was another one coming straight for him! Can't catch that one! Zabuza jumped up and the second giant shuriken went right under him. Shoot!
The second shuriken, that he had dodged, then turned into Naruto! He had a kunai in his hand. "This is the spot!" Naruto said throwing the kunai he held. The kunai was heading right for Zabuza. Zabuza quickly let go of the orb he had Kakashi in, so he could avoid getting hit by the kunai. The orb disappeared, freeing Kakashi. Zabuza didn't seem to notice it though, for he was getting ready to attack Naruto with the giant shuriken!
"I'll destroy you!" He growled.
Kakashi stopped the shuriken with his bare hand. I could see the blood going down his fist. Naruto then fell into the water.
"Naruto, your plan was very impressive," Kakashi admitted, "You have all sure grown." Naruto grinned proudly.
"I used the shadow replication technique to hide the fact that I transformed into the Demon Wind Shuriken. I didn't do it to defeat Zabuza," Naruto started to explained, "I left one of my clones, and I transformed into the giant shuriken. Then my clone threw me, now a shuriken, to Sasuke. Sasuke knew that it was me right after he caught it. Then he took out his own shuriken and used the shadow shuriken technique. I hid in the shadow of the real shuriken and went straight for Zabuza. I knew that I couldn't beat Zabuza just by that, of course. But I thought that if I could just break the water prison, maybe things would turn around...We were able to get rid of that water clone, so it was a success!"
"It was just luck," Sasuke said.
"Well if that was luck, then you two have the luck of the God's on your side!" I said giving them a thumbs up. I remember hearing that saying somewhere before so I thought I'd use it!
"Heh... I just got distracted and released the jutsu," Zabuza said refusing to admit defeat.
"No, you were forced to release it. I'd like to tell you that, I don't fall for the same jutsu twice," Kakashi said, "So what are you going to do now?"
"Sayuki! Don't let your guard down!" Sasuke said.
"Right." I nodded and tightened my grip on my kunai. Sasuke moved in front of the bridge builder also.
Kakashi flung the giant shuriken away from Zabuza. Zabuza and Kakashi jumped back from each-other. Zabuza did a bunch of hand signs, Kakashi's sharingan glowed a faint red from being re-activated. Kakashi copied Zabuza's movements and did the same hand signs, at the exact same time. "Water Style: Water Dragon jutsu!" They both exclaimed. Two water funnels appeared and took the shape of two long dragons. The two water dragons entangled with each-other; and the water was coming straight at us!
Water came spraying at us. When it finally stopped I could see Kakashi and Zabuza going head to head against each-other. They jumped back from each-other once again. Zabuza ran to the left and Kakashi did the same, copying his movements. Zabuza put his hand in the air and Kakashi raised his hand in the air. Kakashi was doing everything Zabuza was doing and at the exact same time!
"He's moving just like him!" Tazuna exclaimed, "And with such perfect timing too!"
"I know! Isn't it the coolest!" I said in awe. Sasuke gave me a annoyed side glance.
"What you're doing is just copying. Nothing special," Zabuza said as he did another hand sign.
"You can't beat me you monkey!" Zabuza and Kakashi exclaimed simultaneously.
Inner Sayuki: Go Kakashi-sensi! Mess with his mind!!
"I'll make it so that you'll never open that copycat mouth of yours again!" Zabuza yelled. Anger and irritation were in his voice. He put his hands together as if to make another hand sign but then suddenly stopped. He stared at Kakashi with a look of disbelief. Kakashi did another hand sign.
"Water Style: Giant Vortex Jutsu!" Kakashi shouted out. Zabuza's eyes went wide. And what's that I saw in his eyes? Was the fear? Coming from the all mighty Zabuza? That's right Zabuza! Be scared like the big baby you are!
The water rose slowly, spinning around and around like a whirlpool. As the water rose higher it began to look like a tornado. It struck Zabuza and he was sucked up into the tornado like water vortex. I put my hands up to my face to protect myself from the severe wind that the vortex gave off. Naruto was still in the water and being thrashed around by the waves. He was finally able to grab onto a tree branch for safety.
The water and wind finally resided and I moved my arms away from my face and opened my eyes. I could see Zabuza up against a tree with a kunai stuck in him. Kakashi was standing in the same tree.
"C-can you...see into the f-future?" Zabuza asked with a shaky voice.
"Yes... This is your last battle... ever," Kakashi replied.
Before Kakashi could even move a inch two needles came flying down out of nowhere and struck Zabuza in his neck. Zabuza stood frozen, but then he started to shake and finally fell to the ground, unmoving and unconscious. Ouch... I thought as I looked at the two needles embedded in his neck.
"You are right. This is his last battle," A unknown voice said. We all looked in the direction of the voice. There on a tree branch stood a boy of about 15 or so. He wore a white mask with red markings on it. It completely covered his face, hiding his identity.
Kakashi hopped down from the branch he was on and landed right next to Zabuza. He bent down and checked Zabuza for a pulse. He then looked up at the boy in suspicion, and earnd a respectful bow.
"Thank you very much. I was looking for a chance to kill Zabuza," the boy said. Or Haku, as we all know him by. Naruto had now gotten out of the water. He was staring intently at Haku.
"That mask... If I remember correctly, you must be a hunter nin from the hidden Village Hidden in the Mist," Kakashi stated.
"You are very well informed," Haku said.
"A Hunter nin?" Naruto asked confused.
"They have something to do with assassinating traitors from their village. To keep their secrets safe or something... Right sensi?" I said turning to Kakashi for help. It's not like I have some freakishly large head I can store all this info in!
Kakashi nodded. "Hunter nins' are those who assassinate exiled ninja like Zabuza who go against the village they were born in. They must do it to conceal any secret of their village, to ensure that the exile ninja from their village can't use their secrets against them," Kakashi said giving a more thorough explanation than mine.
"Yes, I am a member of the pursuing ninja unit that hunt exiled ninja," Haku said confirming our thoughts.
Naruto glared at Haku with anger in his eyes. He then ran up to the tree that Haku was standing in. "Who the heck are you!?" Naruto questioned.
"Calm down, Naruto. He's not an enemy," Kaksahi said.
"That's not what I'm asking! But Zabuza... was killed!" Naruto exclaimed, "He... he was so strong, but he was killed so easily by a kid that's not that different from me! We look like idiots!"
"Naruto's right!" I agreed, balling my hands into fists. Noone makes me look like an idiot except for me!!
"I... I can't except this!" Naruto said.
"I know how you feel...but this is also the truth. In our world there are kids younger than you, but stronger than me," Kakashi said ruffling Naruto's hair. Haku suddenly disappeared. He reappeared next to Zabuza's body and he picked him up.
"Your battle is over. Now I must dispose of this corpse becuase it seems to be a body of many secrets. Now it you'll excuse me,"Haku then disappeared in a swirling wind of leaves. Naruto sank to the ground. He started punching it continuously, grumbling things under his breath, until Kakashi grabbed his hand, forcing him to stop. Naruto grumbled something else and got up.
"Things like this happens in the life of a ninja. If you don't like it, make it up next time," Kakashi said.
"I'm tired!" I complained randomly.
"Our mission hasn't ended yet. We need to take the bridge builder to his house," Kakashi reminded us.
"Sorry about that, everyone!" Tazuna said laughing nervously, "Just rest at my house!"
"All right, let's cheer up and go!" Kakashi smiled as he started walking away. After only a few step he's collapsed on the ground.
"KAKASHI-SENSI!" Me and Naruto shouted. We all ran over to our fallen sensi.
"That fight must have taken a lot out of him," Tazuna stated looked at the unconscious Kakashi.
As I looked down at Kakashi I just couldn't help it, I broke out in song.
"London bridge is falling down,
falling down,
falling down,
London bridge is falling down
My fair lady."
"SAYUKI! Now is not the time to be singing!" Sasuke yelled at me.
"Sooooorry!" I whined.
Author's Note: CHA BAM!! FINALLY I GOT THIS CHAPTER UP!! Sorry this chapter took me a little longer to get up. I had already written pretty much all of it like 4 weeks ago, but then I got really bored with the battle against Zabuza, so I just kinda... stopped writing... heh heh heh. I decided to finish it today and I only ended adding 2 pages to it and then called it a done chapter. So it took me this long just to write two pages... hee hee hee But I wanted to get the whole first encounter with Zabuza in one chapter so...
All together there are 10 pages to this chapter! WOOT! So very long! I'M SO PROUD OF ME!!
I'm soooooo excited to start the next chapter because I have all this stuffed planned for it. But I'm doing NaNoWriMo so I'm going to be pretty busy! NaNoWriMo starts November first and ends on the last day of November. So I'm gonna be pretty wrapped up in my novel but I'll try to work on this because I love writing to this story.
Well PLEASE REVIEW!
