Warning! I am going on a rant! Read it or I will track you down and kill you! Important rant!
=O=
Okay, now, WHAT THE F*** DOES SUPERT HISTORY MEAN DAMMIT! I MEAN SERIOUSLY! I SEE IT ON OTHER FANFICS TOO! WHY DO I ALWAYS GET AN UNAMED GUEST TELLING ME TO SUPERT HISTORY IN A REVIEW, DAMMIT! IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO RANT NEXT CHAPTER THEN TELL ME WHAT THE F*** IT MEANS!
=O=
Now back to our regularly scheduled program!
Yay! I'm back! Sorry about the rant. I had to get it out of my system. By the way, I was looking at the reviews I had per chapter, and other than the first chapter, I noticed that the more words i had, the less reviews I got. Maybe I should write out a bunch of 200 word chapters every week. Maybe I might actually do that... That actually might be a good idea... Ha! Just kidding. Anyway, here's the chapter. AND DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT WRITING ANOTHER REVIEW THAT SAYS SUPERT HISTORY WITHOUT TELLING ME WHAT IT MEANS!
P.S. Please re-read chapter six. i re-wrote the Haku meets Naruto part. If you don't read it, you probably won't know what's going on.
Naruto settled into a stance as he studied his opponent. Haku was good with senbon. Better move quickly so he wouldn't hit pressure points. It would be better to be cautious. Rushing in blindly could work in other scenarios, but then it would give the fake hunter-nin an opening to throw some needles in painful places. Probably his face. Or his neck. Or his unmentionables. Naruto shuddered at the thought.
He threw one kunai at Haku's head, then one at his feet, and a kunai at waist level, and a half a second later, left and right of the girly boy's face.
Haku went the only way Naruto's kunai allowed him to; up. He jumped in the air, feeling thrilled as the wind blew at his face. He was not at all surprised to see Naruto waiting for him with a knife in hand, in a perfect position to stab him. In the air, Haku could not dodge with anything but his head. He could not match Naruto in hand to hand combat, he knew that. Haku aimed three senbon at some of the blonde's painful places. His face, his neck, and his unmentionables.
Kidding.
He drew the last needle back and aimed it at Naruto's knife arm.
Naruto blocked all three senbon quickly with his kunai and brought his arm down at Haku's face. (I have an obsession with face wounds)
Haku flung his face back as if he had been punched, narrowly escaping his enigmatic opponent.
"I missed."
"No," Haku disagreed, and brought his head back to it's normal position. Blood matted his hair and dripped down his mask. "You hit me."
Naruto's facial expression didn't change.
"I was aiming to cleave your head in half. To me, that was a miss."
"You're very used to carnage for someone your age aren't you? You meant to kill me," Haku studied the blonde with a frown on his face.
"You're no older than me; Haku."
The surprised mist shinobi raised his eyebrows in alarm.
Naruto smirked. That had created the desired effect. He dashed in, aiming to kill his enemy once and for all.
Haku cursed, and blocked Naruto's incoming kunai with a senbon. He was careless and had let him get close. He had no chance like this. He wasn't good with close quarters, and added to that, it was pretty hard to use a needle like a knife. To Haku's surprise, though, Naruto made a mistake. He extended his kunai too far. Haku closed in for the kill. The Uchiha was no threat, so he didn't kill him. But Naruto was. Naruto was a danger to Zabuza's plans. So Haku would kill him.
He ran the blonde through with a kunai. He breathed a sigh of relief. It was over now. He would help Zabuza defeat the jonin and then kill the bridge builder. But something was wrong.
There was no blood. Haku's eye's widened in shock.
Kaboom!
Naruto's bunshin went out with a huge explosion, creating a smoking crater in the middle of the bridge. The smoke cleared, revealing a torn up and ragged Haku in the middle of the crater. Bits of his mask fell off one at a time, revealing his face to everyone on the bridge. Next to him was Naruto, holding a kunai to his defeated opponents neck. Without warning, however, Haku had a senbon at Naruto's neck.
Naruto regarded Haku like a knight might salute a worthy adversary.
"Well I guess I shouldn't under estimate a master of the silent kill technique. It seems like we are at a standstill." Naruto spoke with a smirk on his face.
"It seems to me that we are not," Haku said cryptically.
Haku's hand rose into a one handed seal.
"Makyo Hyosho."
Shit! If I dig my kunai into his neck he'll dig his senbon into mine! I can't do anything!
21 ice mirrors solidified in thin air, creating a dome and surrounding Naruto.
Well, shit.
=O=
Kakashi couldn't believe his luck. Or lack of it. First, the deity known as Icha Icha had been soaked, so badly that it was barely recognizable. And it was the latest issue, one that he had been dying to finish. Ichigo and Orihime and Rukia and Ishida and Sado, and greatest of all, Rangiku, were going to have an orgy! Of course, that had to be the one issue that he had convinced Jiraiya to sign.
And then, right when Zabuza attacked, it had to be Naruto on his rest break.
shzing!
Oh, and also the fact that an eyebrow-less freak who shouldn't be trusted with a fork had a five-foot single edged cleaver that probably weighed more than Kakashi himself and was currently trying to slice him into fish bait. Definitely couldn't forget that.
"Is that all the legendary copy ninja has? You're pathetic without the sharingan!" Zabuza sneered from within the mist, his voice echoing from all sides.
Zabuza's voice may have seemingly come from all sides, but in truth, he was just echoing his voice off objects. Echo vibrations were usually more widespread than the normal voice, so all Kakashi would have to do was find the most focused point of vibrations.
Kakashi strained his ears while Zabuza went off on a speech about how weak Kakashi Hatake really was.. Slowly, his eyes shifted to the right.
And then he threw a kunai to the left.
klunk!
The kunai had found its target, it seemed. The copy-nin dashed to the left, another knife already in hand.
klunk!
Kakashi blocked Zabuza's sword inches from his face, a bead of sweat dripping down his forehead.
The two jounin became locked in an intense close-quarters fight, each one struggling to gain the upper hand.
Kakashi concentrated and calmed his mind, always a good thing to do in a fight. Sideways swing from the right, uppercut slash from below, stab from behind. Kakashi barely dodged all of these attacks, not because he was straining, but because he timed everything perfectly.
The lazy jounin leaped back to gain some space and settled into a stance.
"You, my friend, are going to see the true power of the copy ninja," Kakashi vowed, his eyes narrowing with menace.
=O=
Naruto had an annoying problem. Make that 21 annoying problems glaring at his from all sides.
He had tried everything. Even Karyuu Endan only burned down half a sheet of ice, which Haku just regenerated with ease. Naruto wracked his brain for something, anything that could get him out of this troublesome situation.
Suddenly, he realized. He was stupid. So was everyone else who Haku had killed with this jutsu. He could burrow in the bridge. Naruto almost bashed his head on an ice mirror. It was so simple he wondered why no one else had ever thought of it before.
"Buh-Bye Haku," Naruto said, smirking.
The blonde threw a smoke bomb onto the ground. As purple smoke restricted Haku's vision, he prepared his technique.
"Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu," Naruto whispered.
When the smoke cleared, Naruto was nowhere to be found. There was no evidence suggesting that he had gone underground.
Naruto resurfaced outside the ice dome.
A grim smile graced Naruto's features.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu," the blonde said.
100 clones appeared by his side.
They all took a kunai from their weapon's pouch simultaneously, and surrounded it with wind chakra.
Before, Naruto had no chance of getting close enough to the mirors with becoming a pin-cushion. Now, however, Haku couldn't possibly kill all the clones. He only needed 21 clones. The rest were expendable.
Haku's eyes widened. He knew throwing senbon was useless. He could never destroy enough clones. It would be a waste of needles. Haku fled inside the dome to escape being stabbed by a chakra infused kunai.
As the knives hit their mark, all the mirrors shattered in a beautiful spectacle, at least, beautiful unless one was standing in the middle of it.
The ice settled down, revealing Haku, bloodied and covered in minuscule blades of ice.
"Kill me. I am no longer any use to Zabuza-sama. You defeated me. Now kill me," Haku spoke almost regretfully.
Naruto pulled out a kunai and heaved a sigh.
"Alright Haku. I, will kill you."
=O=
Zabuza was held down by numerous ninken, completely immobilized.
Kakashi charged in with his chidori in hand.
Haku stared at the scene in surprise.
"I have changed my mind. Do not kill me. I can still do Zabuza one more favor. Haku shunshined in front of an enraged and paralyzed Zabuza.
Naruto shifted through his thoughts.
So even though you don't have precious people, you should do the right thing, and that should make you happy.
Do what you think is right.
What do I think is right?
He shunshined in front of Haku with his back facing him. He would do the right thing.
No! My momentum's carrying me too fast! I can't stop!
Not again. Rin, and then Naruto.
With growing dread, Kakashi plunged the chidori into his student.
AHA! I found out how to make that line in the middle of a story that those authors use! I've been wondering for years how those authors do it! There's a button with a line on it in the toolbar! Mwahahahaha! I know the secret now! I will be unstoppable! I, Fieryknight6241, will become god!
Hooray for random lines in the middle of author's notes! XD ... yeeaah, I don't think I'm feeling alright. Oh my god I just realized that I wrote a decent sized chapter in under a month! Hooray for me! :D Also please know that if I abandon this fic I won't be evil and leave you hanging. I will tell you guys if I'm discontinueing this fic. Anyway, review! OR MICKEY MOUSE WILL APPEAR IN YOUR ROOM AT TWO O' CLOCK IN THE MORNING WITH A KNIFE! SERIOUSLY! I'M NOT KIDDING! ... BELIEVE IT! ... who am I kidding. I sound nothing like Naruto. XD Just review. If you don't, you can give penance by standing in front of a mirror and saying Bloody Mary three times. Then I'll forgive you. Promise.
(I've been watching too many horror movies)
