Sasuke: I have not. Are you blind?!
Kikiyo: well! Time to get this story started. Let's see who gets killed off maybe this chapter or the next one ^^
Chapter 12: Secret Plan
"That one's a fake too?!" Naruto cried. Zabuza tried to slice Kaka in half again, but Kaka ducked. Zabuza kicked Kaka before he could get back up. Kaka was thrown into the water and before he could get out, he was put into a water prison. "You may have been trying to escape to the water, but that was a big mistake. Hehehe, I now have you in my inescapable special prison. It makes things tougher if you can move, you know? Now... Kakashi, we can finish up things later. First I'll take care of them." Zabuza used water clone no jutsu and another Zabuza formed out of the water. Not even listening to him, I quickly started focusing my chakra the palm of my hand grew warmer as I felt the chakra become more concentrated, I quickly did some hand movements and summoned Jyuubi. When I turned around, Danny was slightly baring her fangs, Naruto was sent flying backwards, Kaka was still stuck, and Zabuza was looming over Naruto. "You guys! Take Tazuna-san and run away! You have no chance of beating him! As long as he's keeping me trapped in this prison, he can't move. The water clone cannot go very far from his real body. Just run away now!" Naruto backed up and started to run away, only to stop and stare at his hand for a while. I took the head protector off my arm and tied it around my forehead, tying up some of my hair in the process. Naruto turned and looked at the clone, stepping on his forehead protector.
Naruto ran full speed ahead at the clone and Kaka screamed, "No! Don't!" He clone kicked him backwards. Naruto slowly stood up gripping his forehead protector. Smiling, I asked, "Naruto. You ready?" "Yea… Hey… you eyebrow less freak… put this in your handbook. The man who will one day become Hokage Leaf Village ninja… Uzumaki Naruto!" He smiled while putting his forehead protector back on. Kaka yelled at us to run away, but Tazuna simply smiled and said "Go ahead and fight as much as you want." As Zabuza told us some story about his childhood, he suddenly attacked Sasuke, and Naruto used Shadow clone Jutsu. All the Narutos charged at Zabuza. I sighed at the uselessness of that. Zabuza just swiped them all away, and then I remembered something. I took something off of my back and threw it at Naruto, "NARUTO! Here!" he looked at it, and threw it to Sasuke. "Evil wind shuriken shadow windmill!" He threw the windmill shuriken at the real Zabuza. He caught one and then jumped over the other one, which was actually Naruto. He threw a kunai towards him, just as I ran up at his blind spot. Zabuza dodged the kunai, but got tackled backwards by me. I seconds, I was on top of his stomach, and Zabuza's throat was already in Jyuubi's mouth, not yet torn to shreds. Kaka was also free from the water prison. I smiled, "Zabuza-san. Your name is too long. From now on, you are Zaza. Okay? I don't really like it when you hurt my friends and Kaka. I don't like it one bit. So you are going to die now. I thought I should tell you before Jyuubi tore out your throat." Before I could tell Jyuubi to tear out his throat, two needles when through his throat. He went limp in Jyuubi's jaws. "Hehe… you're right. He's dead (heart)" I looked up into the tree and saw someone wearing a mask.
Kaka walked appeared beside me, as Jyuubi let go of Zaza's throat. Kakashi checked for his pulse. "He really is dead." "Thank you very much. I have been searching for the opportunity to kill Zabuza for a long time." Looking closer, this ninja was dressed a bit strangely. His hair was tied up very prettily, and the mask was completely red with two swirling lines of red over the mouth. The mask reminded me of a fox with its slit like eye holes. "That mask… you're a hidden mist hunter-nin." Kaka stated. "Impressive you are correct." The masked ninja answered. The ninja's voice was a bit high for a boy's voice but a bit low for a girl's voice. It was right in-between the two genders. "Hunter-nin?" Naruto asked. I turned to him, and suppressed a laugh. Kaka and Naruto looked really alike right now. Their hair in the exact same position. "Yes, my duty is to hunt down missing-nins. I'm a member of the hidden mist's Hunter-nin team. Judging purely on the height and voice, it seemed like this ninja was not much older than us. Perhaps even the same age. "What the hell?! Who are you?!" as Naruto freaked out, I looked up at the ninja trying to figure out if it was male or female. The ninja appeared beside Zaza and said "Your battle is now over… and now I must dispose of this body. Since it seems to be a body with many secrets… Farewell." The ninja took Zaza and disappeared. Kaka covered his eye again and said, "Now we have to get Tazuna-san back home. Let's go!" "Hahaha! Super thanks, guys! Come over to my house and relax for a while!" as Tazuna-san said this, I saw Kaka start to sway, in seconds Danny and I were on either side of him, supporting him up as he fainted.
As kaka was resting in Tazuna-san's house I took a walk outside, when a question hit me. I ran back to Tazuna-san's house. Kaka was really quiet, "Kaka. I have a question… Why did that ninja kill him using needles? Wouldn't a different weapon be much more effective?" "Good question. There is also something else bothering me. Body erasing team usually dispose of the body of the person they killed right there." Kaka spoke. "Oh yes. Instead that ninja took Zaza's body away." "Yea… if he needed proof of his work, he could have just taken the head." Sasuke looked shocked, "No way…" Danny, Kaka, and I all looked grim. "Yeah… Exactly" Kaka said. "What are you guys talking about?" Tazuna-san asked. "Most likely… Zabuza is still alive!" Naruto and Tazuna wore the same shocked expression and Naruto screamed "What the hell do you mean?! You checked and said he was dead!" "Yeah, I did… but that was most likely just a momentary death. The needle weapon that hunter-nin used… unless it hits a vital organ, has a low probability in killing your opponent. It's an item even used by doctors in acupuncture therapy. Hunter-nins know about the body's structure thoroughly. Putting a person in a momentary death is probably easy for them. First he carried away the body of the much heavier Zabuza. Second he used a weapon with a low probability of killing. These 2 points indicate that his motive was… not to kill Zabuza but save him we can't ignore that possibility." "Aren't you thinking too much? Hunter-nins are supposed to kill missing-nins." Tazuna-san reasoned. "No… with all the suspicion we will prepare before it's too late. That's a shinobi rule. Plus, whether Zabuza is dead or alive… there's no assurances that Gatou hasn't hired an even stronger shinobi." "so… to prepare I'm guessing you mean us. After all, Kaka, you can barely move." "That is correct, you guys will receive training. You guys are rapidly growing. Especially Naruto! You've improved the most. But obviously, this is just training until I get better, you won't be able to defeat him without me." "H-How L-long do w-we have u-until?" Danny asked. "About that… a person in a momentary death situation… should take a while before their body returns to normal." "So we train until then!" Naruto said. "Sounds like a lot of fun!" We both said. Just then, a child came in and started fighting with Naruto, using only words. He seemed very sad, and almost as if he had already given up hope.
Outside, Kaka started explaining what Chakra was. Finally Kaka said "To release Chakra means to bring out physical and spiritual energy and mix them together within your body. You guys are not using Chakra effectively yet. Even if you are able to release a high amount of chakra unless you control it properly the Jutsu will be weakened or not work at all. And by wasting energy, you won't be able to fight as long. These kinds of weaknesses will appear." Kaka explained. "So what should we do?" Naruto asked. "Learn how to control it. Through very tough training." Kaka paused, "By tree climbing!"
"This isn't normal tree climbing. You'll climb without using your hands. Well… just watch." Kaka took a step up the tree with his crutches, and walked all the way up and under a branch. "He's climbing…" Naruto said in disbelief. "That's cool! I wanna learn this quickly!" "hehehe… you understand now? Gather your cjakra in the bottom of your feet and climb up a tree. This is something you can do once you can use chakra well. Here's the main part. Listen closely. The purpose of this training is… First, to teach you to control Chakra. To bring out the proper amount to the proper area. As I said earlier, this is the most important aspect when using Jutsu. This can be difficult even for a skilled ninja. The amount of chakra to climb a tree is small, but it must be exact. And it is said that the bottom of the foot is most difficult to gather chakra. So basically… If you can learn this control, you should be able to master any Jutsu. Theoretically… The second thing is for you to develop the stamina needed to control Chakra properly. Depending on the Jutsu, controlling your chakra properly… can be very difficult. And a ninja will usually be gathering his chakra during battle constantly moving. Those types of situations make controlling chakra even more difficult. That's why, from this tree climbing, you must gain the stamina needed for this proper control. Well… me talking all day isn't going to accomplish anything…" kaka took out four Kunai and threw them at the ground in front of us, "this is something you have to learn with your bodies. Use those kunais to mark how high you make it up the tree. Then use that mark as your goal and try to surpass it. You guys won't be good enough to just walk up the tree at first. So get some momentum and try running up the tree. Got it?" I picked up the kunai and tried to remember what some guys in my world told me, before. It was something like; to run up a wall… you have to have the right speed and momentum also bend your legs slightly. "Pick a tree and hurry up and try to climb it." Kaka said sounding bored. We all gathered chakra on the soles of our feet. Naruto's first step ended in failure and he fell off immediately, Sasuke made it up a couple of steps before cracking the tree's bark and falling back down, Danny made it all the way up to the first branch, and I… made it halfway up before spotting a bug near my exposed foot, I screamed and jumped off the tree, throwing the kunai to mark where I walked up to, and did a flip before landing back on the ground and hiding behind both Naruto and Sasuke." Someone kill it!" I screamed. The both looked at me curiously, "the spider!" I continued. They looked at each other as Kaka said, "It looks like the best at controlling Chakra right now is Danielle." Sasuke looked down at the ground, and Naruto said "Wow! You're great Danielle!" and I said, "Good job Danny" She smiled shyly and blushed at all the attention everyone was giving her. Before kaka could say anything, I focused my chakra again and walked slowly up to the kunai that I threw, looking out for any crawlies. I bent down to pick it up, and walked up to the first branch, making sure to keep my legs slightly bent. "Wow. You too Kikiyo." I smiled at Kaka and said, "That's because both of us trained really hard" he smiled and said "As of now… Both of them as closest to Hokage… unlike a certain someone. I guess the Uchiha clan isn't worth much either." I looked at both Naruto and Sasuke, trying to figure out how they would take the harsh words. Rather than looking dejected, they looked motivated.
Kikiyo: Stupid spider.
Danny: -giggles-
Kaka: good job both of you
Kikiyo: thank you, Kaka. I'm sorry I almost killed you off two times.
Kaka: … you now have to reach the top of the tree. And find the biggest spider and bring it back down.
Kikiyo: D: I said I was sorry! Don't make me touch the spider!
Danny: s-see you n-next t-time…
