Naruto: A Second Chance
A/N: In this chapter team seven is going to the wave country, R&R please.
Chapter seven: Journey to the land of Waves.
Deep into one of the many forests of Konoha, "Report." Kakashi said over his radio,
"Position A ready." Said Naruto.
"Position B ready." Sasuke said.
"Position C ready." Sakura declared.
"Have you sighted the target?" Kakashi asked.
"Hai." They all answered.
Three figures out of the foliage, "Gotcha!" Naruto shouted, "Ow ow ow" Naruto complained as the cat scratched his face.
"The target has been apprehended, Kakashi-sensei." Sasuke told Kakashi over the radio.
"Alright, good job team seven." Kakashi congratulated his team.
Team seven stood in the mission assignment office. "Oh I'm so glad I have you back!" Yelled a big woman killing the cat with a hug.
"I guess we know why the cat ran away." Sakura said.
"Ha stupid cat." Naruto said happily.
They went up to the Hokage to get another mission. "Hmm, well there is a baby sitting job, you can run errands, or…" But the Hokage was interrupted.
"No, no more of these lame missions, I want a challenging mission to test my skills!" Naruto shouted.
"The dobe's right I hate these missions." Sasuke thought.
"Yeah, no more of these lame missions!" Inner Sakura yelled.
"Naruto don't be disrespectful to Hokage-sama!" Iruka scolded his ex-student.
But team seven wasn't listening. "Hey, pay attention Naruto!" Iruka yelled.
"Oh sorry about that Iruka." Said Kakashi.
"Hmm, well seeing that your team has completed all of your missions, I guess I could at least give you a C-rank mission."
"Yes!" Naruto yelled.
"You can come in now." The Hokage said.
A screen door opened and revealed an old man drinking a bottle of sake, "Great I get a bunch of snot nosed kids." Said the man.
"Please, this team is more than capable of escorting you safely." The Hokage reassured the man.
"Well whatever, I'm Tazuna master bridge builder and you'll be escorting me to my home in the Land of Waves." Tazuna told them.
"Alright team pack up and meet at the gate in twenty minuets." Said Kakashi.
Twenty minuets later Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke were waiting for Kakashi and Tazuna to arrive. "Urg, I hate it when he's late!" Sakura yelled.
"He's always late Sakura." Said Naruto.
An hour later Kakashi and Tazuna finally showed up, "You're late!" Sakura and Naruto yelled as usual. "Sorry but I had to help an old lady out of a tree." Kakashi said innocently, "Liar!" they both yelled, "Well anyway let's get going."
The group left the village, while oh their way they walked past a puddle of water.
Oblivious to Sakura, Sasuke and Tazuna the Demon Brothers were preparing to attack.
Suddenly two chains shot out and wrapped around Kakashi and tore him to pieces.
Sakura shrieked as she saw her sensei get shredded, the Demon Brothers leapt out at the three genin and master bridge builder.
Naruto back flipped out of the way of his attacker, "Not this time." He said to himself, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Naruto shouted and five shadow clones appeared.
One of the clones leapt forward and punched his enemy in the face "U!", the real Naruto jumped on the clones back and jumped into the air, the other three clones all kicked the shinobi into the air, "Zu, Ma, Ki!" the Demon Brother flew up into the air and the real Naruto slammed his foot into his face, "Naruto Rendan!" and the Demon Brother was knocked to the ground and knocked out.
Sasuke had a little trouble with his opponent but luckily Kakashi was there to stop the enemy. "Good job Naruto, not bad Sasuke." Kakashi said, "These are only chunin, next time it will be a jounin."
"And you have a lot of explaining to do." Kakashi said to Tazuna.
"Alright ill explain, I'm sorry I tricked you but you see my country is very poor, ever since the billionaire Gatoh took over." Explained Tazuna.
"You mean the Gatoh from the Gatoh Company, he's one of the richest men in the world." Kakashi said surprised.
"Yes, he took over my country and we have become extremely poor, that's why I could only pay for a C-rank mission." Tazuna explained, "Please my country needs that bridge, I need your protection my eight year old grandson will cry and cry more and my daughter will hold a grudge against Konoha" Tazuna pleaded.
The four shinobi looked at each other, "Alright well continue with the mission." Kakashi said.
"Thank you." Tazuna said in relief.
The group got a ride to the Land of Waves with a friend of Tazuna's, when they reached the pier they got off the boat, "That's as far as I go, good luck." Said the man, "Yeah thanks a lot." Tazuna replied.
They started walking to Tazuna's house, "Hmm, Zabuza should be arriving pretty soon, maybe I can save him and Haku this time." Naruto thought to himself, he glanced over at one of the many trees on the path, "There he is." Naruto sensed Zabuza's presence.
"Hmm, so the kid senses me, not bad for a genin." Zabuza thought as he pulled the large sword off of his back.
"Everyone duck!" Shouted Naruto and Kakashi in unison as a large sword flew out of a nearby tree and impaled another tree and a figure landed on the sword.
"Oh, my my you're Momochi Zabuza the exiled ninja of the Hidden Village of Mist, if you're our opponent ill need this." Said Kakashi as he put his hand on his forehead protector.
"I'm guessing your Kakashi the Sharingan user." Replied Zabuza.
At those words Sasuke's eyes widened.
"I'm sorry but I need you to hand over the geezer." Zabuza said.
"Everyone form the swastika formation, protect Tazuna-san." Kakashi ordered, "Don't join the battle." As that was said Kakashi pulled his forehead protector out from in front oh his eye, "Fight me" He said to Zabuza.
"I'm honored that I can see the Sharingan that I've heard about." Said Zabuza.
"You guys keep saying Sharingan what is it?" Sakura asked.
"Sharingan…the eye creates it, and it is the power that the pupil generates, ones who use doujutsu are said to have eye powers that can see through all genjutsu, taijutsu, and ninjutsu and cancel their effects. Sharingan is one of the various types of eyes that those doujutsu users posses. But that's not the only ability the Sharingan possess." Sasuke explained.
"Correct, it isn't. The scary part is that the Sharingan can understand how an opponent's technique works and copy it." Zabuza finished, "When I was in the Hidden Village of the 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 one-thousand techniques, Kakashi the copy ninja."
"What? Kakashi-sensei was that great of a ninja?" Sakura thought surprised.
"I don't understand…Sharingan is a special trait that appears in only a limited amount of people in the Uchiha Clan. Could he be…?" Sasuke thought.
"Let's cut the chit-chat here, I have to kill that geezer right away." Zabuza said wanting to finish up his mission.
The three genin rushed in front of Zabuza to protect him.
"But, Kakashi, it seems I have to defeat you first." Said Zabuza, he grabbed his sword and leapt away from the tree.
"Hidden Mist jutsu!' Zabuza said as mist got extremely thick.
Kakashi made the ram seal and released a large amount of chakra to thin the mist.
Sasuke stood trembling, "Two jounin clashing, it's too much." Sasuke thought to himself and lifted his kunai.
"Sasuke," Kakashi said firmly as he looked back at his team and smiled, "don't worry I wont let anyone from my team die."
"Oh, so sure of yourself I see Kakashi." Came Zabuza's voice, and with the blink of an eye Zabuza cut clean through Kakashi, but Kakashi busted into water, "Mizu Bunshin!"
Zabuza's eyes widened when he felt Kakashi's kunai at his throat, "It seems that I've gotten you…" Kakashi started to say when Zabuza exploded in a mass of water.
"Damn!" Kakashi yelled as he was kicked across the small battle field into a large mass of water, "This water is extremely dense." He thought.
Zabuza appeared behind Kakashi and started to make hand seals, "Suiton, Water Prison Jutsu!" Zabuza shouted.
A large dome of water surrounded Kakashi, "Team, take the bridge builder and run, he's too powerful." Kakashi shouted to his team.
"We aren't going to leave you behind Kakashi-sensei," said Naruto, "Sakura, Sasuke protect the bridge builder, ill fight Zabuza and free Kakashi-sensei."
"Ha, right a brat like you is going to take me on, I've killed animals bigger than you." Zabuza said with a laugh.
"Well I highly doubt," Naruto started as he closed his eyes and got into a fighting stance unfamiliar to Zabuza, "that you've ever taken on an animal similar to me." He finished as he opened his eyes to reveal red eyes with slits for the pupils. (Naruto doesn't have the Kyuubi in him anymore but he can still act like he does to fool and scare his enemies.)
"W-what the hell is this kid, those eyes!" Zabuza was frightened, he knew that this child posed a threat to him.
"Alright kid lets see what you've got." Zabuza said, "Mizu Bunshin!" He shouted as a water clone appeared.
The clone pulled out its sword and charged at Naruto, "Heh, is this all you've got?" Naruto asked in a demon like voice (he is not being taken over by the Kyuubi he is just acting like it, just wanted to make that clear.) as he smacked the clone away, he advanced toward Zabuza.
"Grr!" Zabuza ripped is hand out of the water prison and when he did he kicked Kakashi extremely hard back to his team, "I guess ill have to fight you with my real self, ahh!" Zabuza shouted as he rushed at Naruto.
"Doton: Earth Spikes!" Naruto shouted and large spikes rose from the ground intending to pierce Zabuza.
Zabuza landed on the ground and was about to charge again when two senbon pierced his neck.
A young boy landed on the ground, "Thank you for helping me apprehend this exile, his body holds many of my village's secrets." He picked up Zabuza's body and made a hand seal and disappeared.
"Haku, Zabuza, I will make sure to save you, that's a promise." Naruto thought, he turned to his team, "Is Kakashi-sensei alright?" he asked.
"Yeah he's just worn out from using his Sharingan." Sakura replied.
"Alright let's head to Tazuna's house." Naruto said.
A/N: Well that's the end of chapter seven, hope you liked it, so R&R please.
