OK got this next one out kind of fast I'm kind of hitting a groove tell me what you feel yo I love da feed back I also love how I don't own Naruto and company so I can't be sued thanks to a disclaimer.
Kakashi walked along side Tazuna and Naruto, whom he had found up ahead of them leaning against a tree waiting.
"Those ninjas were coming after you Tazuna. Why is that?" Naruto asked. Tazuna snorted.
"How should I know? Maybe because I'm visibly surrounded by ninja's . They may have thought I was rich or something. " He said. Kakashi and Naruto looked at each other skeptically.
"How do you even know they were after me huh?" Tazuna asked.
"Did you notice they disappeared? I interrogated them while I waited.." Naruto said.
"What did you find out Naruto? Sasuke asked as he walked up along side Naruto.
"They were the demon brothers hired by a merchant named Gato. Apparently is a big time bridge builder in the land of waves. Gato wants to stop the building of a bridge that could ruin his business. Isn't that right Tazuna? Naruto said glaring at Tazuna.
"Ok ok its true. I'm the chief architect in the building of the bridge that could save my village. Gato over prices us for the goods he ships in and the bridge would make it easier to get imports." Tazuna said as tears ran down his face.
"Which is why he didn't request a higher ranked ninja team. He can't afford it." Sasuke concluded. Kakashi nodded.
"Good job Naruto now we can continue now that we are prepared and know what we are in for. Unless you guys want to turn back." Kakashi said looking at the two true members of his team. Naruto rolled his eyes and kept walking. Sasuke hesitated but kept walking. Sakura wasn't around to object not that they would have cared much.
"So that's decided. By the way what happened to the missing-nin?" Kakashi asked looking at Naruto. Naruto avoided his eyes and looked straightforward.
"I took care of them Sensei." Naruto said bluntly. Tazuna gulped at the young blonds implication. Sasuke didn't say anything but Kakashi suspected Naruto wasn't telling the whole truth but he let it go. Naruto would never trust him if he didn't trust him first.
Eventually Sakura reappeared not saying a word or looking at anybody and the team fell into a loose formation. Naruto took point with Sasuke. Sakura stuck close to Tazuna and Kakashi pulled up the rear. Eventually they came upon a lake heavily covered in mist. There was a boat waiting for them on the shore.
"Ok here we are this is the boat I took to get here across the lake is my village." Tazuna said slightly cheerful. He was glad to have made it this far. Kakashi surveyed the area as his team loaded onto the small boat. Something felt wrong about the mist covering the lake. It was eerily heavy. He turned towards his genin team to see Naruto staring out across the lake. Kakashi was about to ask what he was looking at when he noticed Naruto didn't even have his eyes open. He seemed to have his ears tilted towards the lake as if listening to something. Kakashi didn't hear anything but decided to pump chakra into his ears to see if he was missing anything. At first everything was quiet but suddenly he heard splashes across the lake. They were moving in rhythm like footsteps.
"DOWN" He yelled as he threw him self into Tazuna tackling him into the ground. Naruto dragged Sakura down as Sasuke dove into the water. A giant Kubikiri Houcho flew over their heads nearly scalping Naruto and Sakura as they laid flat on the inside of the boat. It slammed into the side of a tree as a ninja appeared on it.
"Oi a bunch of brats playing ninja and…. oh look here the famous Copycat ninja himself. Kakashi Hatake. Today just became fun.," the ninja laughed.
Kakashi quickly got to his feet and faced the ninja. He was bare-chested with baggy grey pants and striped armbands s. His face was covered in a white cloth and a hidden mist headband with a scratch through it.
"Zabuza Momochi missing-nin from Kirigakure. Also called the Demon of the Hidden Mist." Kakashi said as he lifted up his headband revealing his…..
"Sharingan eye. So early in the game I'm honored." Zabuza said cackling. He jumped off of his sword and yanked it out of the tree like it was the lightest thing ever.
Naruto having recovered ran up alongside Kakashi.
"Kakashi we have a problem besides this no eye-browed freak." He whispered to where only Kakashi could hear. Kakashi made no movement to acknowledge that he heard Naruto. Before Naruto could say more Zabuza rushed them holding his sword high. Naruto and Kakashi dove apart in opposite directions. Zabuza was stuck in the middle of the genin jounin duo. He wasn't sure who the kid was but he knew better than to divide his attention when dealing with Hatake. A water clone formed behind Zabuza. Naruto's frowned at the sight of another Zabuza. Damn it I know I'm strong but a missing-nin by myself even if it is a water clone is pushing it. Naruto slowly backed up until his back touched a tree. He pulled out a pair of Kunai as the clone attacked swinging his sword trying to decapitate the blond. The sword thudded against the tree cleaving it in half as Naruto rolled and threw one of the kunai at the clones back.
ZABUZA VS HATAKE KAKASHI….FIGHT!
Kakashi let out a hail of Kunai at Zabuza as he ran towards the missing. Zabuza knocked them all away with his sword before rushing at Kakashi. The shinobi met and engaged in a taijutsu battle neither on gaining ground until Zabuza knocked dirt into Kakashi's face using his sword and kicked him into the lake. Kakashi broke threw the heavy surface of the water looking around for his opponent. This water doesn't feel right. Kakashi tried jumping out of the water but before he could it got heavier keeping him submerged unable to move. He could here shifting behind him.
"Seems like that eye of yours couldn't see well enough Hatake. Your caught in my r body prison Jutsu. As long as I'm connected to the water you're not going anywhere. Now sit and watch as my clone finishes off your students.
ON THE SCHORE
Naruto was bleeding out of his fight led as he and Sasuke faced off against the Zabuza clone. The clone had switched hands grabbing Naruto's thrown kunai and throwing it back at him. Naruto had attempted to dodge but got nicked in the leg. It was a shallow cut but it hit a vein close to the top of his skin. He was bleeding heavily lucky Sasuke intervened with a giant fireball between him and the water clone when it charged him.
"Ne' Sasuke we have to free Kakashi sensei." Naruto said as he and Sasuke ducked and dodged around the clone as it swung its sword.
Sasuke ducked a blow as he rolled alongside Naruto.
"And how the hell do you propose we do that ?" Sasuke said as he breathed heavily. It was taking everything he had to dodge the swordsmen.
"Give me a shield. It's time for plan B." Naruto said as he and Sasuke backed towards the lake where Sakura and Tazuna were steadily watching the fight. Sasuke crossed his arms in front of him in an X pattern before snapping his fingers fire exploding from the ends. He brought the wall of flames in a full circle bursting the water clone that had been in mid dive at them and got caught in the wall of fire. The water instantly evaporated from the pure heat.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?" Zabuza yelled standing behind Kakashi's head. Kakashi was too speechless to respond. He'd seen the fire bolts that were unleashed at the demon brothers but this was just a whole different thing. Something Naruto gave Sasuke allowed the boy to create a massive barrier of flames the evaporated water in thin air. Those two had secrets that needed to be discovered. The flames slowly died down where Naruto and Sasuke had been there was nothing but charred ground. No. No it' can't be. They must be alive.
"Whoah that- that's kind of sad Hatake. Your students had great potential to be able to pull that off. They died in battle like true shinobi. But I have to finish this your not the only ones that have to make a living." Zabuza said truly mourning. He hefted his sword above his head ready to swing it down on Kakashi's head. Kakashi was still struggling trying to figure out a way to escape the prison jutsu. Before he could swing it down he was blasted sideways off his freeing Kakashi from his water prison. Zabuza's body skirted across the water before he regained his grounding wobbling on top of the water dazed holding his head.
"What the holy hell?" He said looking back towards where he was hit. Kakashi stood there flanked by Sasuke and Naruto who was holding up a scroll.
"Oi you runts still alive. Looks like I'll have to finish this myself." He said as he started flying through hand seals. Across from him Kakashi was going through the same seals.
"True to your…" Zabuza started.
"Copy cat nature " Kakashi finished. Zabuza's eye twitched in irritation. It seemed like Kakashi was going through the hand seals faster than he was.
"Can you…"
"See the future…. yes. And I see your death Zabuza." Kakashi said as he finished the seal sequence before Zabuza. A giant water dragon rose from beside Kakashi Prompting Sasuke and Naruto to retreat to the shore out of the way. Zabuza was stunned he glared at Kakashi as he tried to finish his hand seals before abruptly stopping. Behind Kakashi was a image of himself. The pause was long enough for the Giant water dragon to come down on Zabuza blasting him towards the shore and into a tree. Kakashi limped to the shore ready to finish Zabuza when three needles flew out of the opposite tree line hitting Zabuza in the neck his body slumping against the tree. Kakashi got in a defensive position as a masked ninja appeared next to Zabuza.
"I thank you for the help. I've been tracking Momochi for sometime now. I can hand-" the nin was cut off as it ducked a kunai aimed at its head. It grabbed Zabuza's Body and Shunshined away as Naruto ran up to stop them.
"Damn. Kakashi, that wasn't a real hunter-nin. That was the other problem I was talking about he or she had been watching us the whole time." Naruto huffed out as he leaned on his good leg.
"Shit I didn't notice Naruto. A normal hunter nin would have burned the body already. We probably have a week before he heals from that. We need to get down to traini-"Kakashi stopped mid-sentence as he fainted from chakra exhaustion. Naruto called Sasuke over to help he lug Kakashi to the boat laying him in it as Sakura and Tazuna came out of their hiding spot in the tree line.
"Is it over are they gone" Sakura squeaked out as she shakily held a kunai up as if defending herself. Tazuna cowered behind the girl fidgeting. Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other before Naruto answered their banshee teammate.
"Yea they're gone so put that away before you hurt yourself." Naruto said as he motioned them over into the boat.
After everybody was aboard they set off over the lake. After about thirty minutes the mist cleared to reveal part of a giant bridge half built.
"Whoah that's amazing. Is that the bridge you're building old man" Naruto said as they gazed up at the massive structure.
"Yep. I'm the chief architect which is why its so important for me to stay alive if I died our country would be ruined in no time." Tazuna said. Sasuke nodded in acknowledgement of the hardships. Sakura looked impassive her eyes glazed over. Naruto clenched his fist tightly gazing at the bridge.
"Don't worry old man. You're not dying anytime soon. You'll finish this bridge." Naruto said with determination. Tazuna nodded his thanks eyes brimming with tears. They soon docked on the village shore and made their way to Tazuna's house. A young woman was outside putting laundry on a line when they arrived.
"A Tsunami-Chan I've returned." Tazuna said walking up to the woman. She turned around quickly almost tripping over her laundry basket. Seeing Tazuna her face broke into a wide smile.
"Father you're home. Oh Inari and me were so worried. Are these the ninja you hired." Tsunami said indicating Naruto and Sasuke who were holding up Kakashi and Sakura who stood off to the side glaring at Naruto. Nobody noticed as they moved inside. Tsunami directed Naruto and Sasuke to a spare bedroom at the top of the stairs and Sakura to a different room because she was the semblance of a female Naruto guessed. Naruto went back downstairs to help Tsunami cook as Sasuke kept first watch and Sakura secluded herself to her room. Not long after dinner was ready and everyone gathered at the table including Kakashi who managed to hobble down the stairs using a crutch that Tazuna had found around the house. They sat and after saying their blessing to Kami enjoyed their meal of tempura with chicken and beef.
"This is really good Tsunami-Chan I must ask you for the recipe for this. It makes me feel so much better." Kakashi said as he enjoyed his food. Everyone was watching him and couldn't understand how he was eating it. He would bring it to the area on his mash where his mouth would be and the food would just disappear. Tsunami managed to break the mysterious spell as she replied.
"Don't ask me Naruto came up with it. I found myself taking lessons from him. Tsunami said making Naruto blush.
"Well I just figured it was the best I could to apologize for nearly castrating you're dad" Naruto said laughing. Sasuke was hit in the face with noodles and beef as Tazuna spit out his food. Naruto roared in laughter as Sasuke did his best to clean his face and pick noodles out of his hair. A door open slammed as a little boy stood in the doorway. Tsunami gave the kid a sad smile.
"Inari your home just in time. These are the ninjas the grandpa hired to protect him while he finishes the bridge. Come sit down and eat." Tsunami said. Inari glared at the ninja at the table.
"YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE. YOU OPPOSE GATO AND YOU DIE YOU IDIOTS. WHY ARE YOU EVEN TRYING?" Inari yelled as tears streamed down his face. A bowl clanged to the table as Naruto stood up.
"Kid shut up. Were here to help you and all you can do is whine about dying. Not a good way to boost moral ya brat." Naruto said glaring at little Inari.
"Inari stop it. They are here to help." Tsunami said soothingly.
"HELP. HOW CAN THEY HELP? THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHATS HAPPENING TO US. LOOK AT THEN SITTING ALL HAPPY LAUGHING." Inari said pointing at them.
"You're right we don't know anything about what's going on here. But don't think you have it worse then other people. Let me ask you something does your family sit down like this pretty often and eat a home cooked meal together?" Naruto asked. Inari nodded.
"And let me guess you're all butt hurt because somebody close to you stood up to Gato and got killed. That's nowhere near as bad as some of us." Naruto said shaking in silent fury.
"YOU HAVE A PRETTY GOOD LIFE FROM WHERE I SIT KID YOUR MOM AND GRANDPA HERE TO LOVE YOU. YOU DIDN"T HAVE TO GROW UP FEEDING OFF OF OTHERS PEOPLE LEFTOVERS HIDING IN THE SHADOWS BECAUSE ALMOST EVERYONE YOU MEET WANTS TO KILL YOU FOR SOME REASON YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND. YOUR VILLAGE DOESN'T PUTO UT HITS ON A GOD DAMN SIX YEAR OLD KID SO SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT YOUR PAIN AND LET US DO OUR MOTHERFUCKING JOB." Naruto yelled as he slammed his fists on the table and stormed out into the night as thunder started roaring over head.
And there's another one down ladies and gens if you have any questions let me know if anything was unclear or if Yall felt any plot holes. I know some of you have issues with Sasuke and him looking to be overpowered in the future because of his Sharingan it will be rectified I assure you.
