Chapter 7- Gato is Mine.

I ran over to the blue and black souls but it was a little hard to see since the fog was still a bit heavy. It seems that Kakashi's Hounds have been summoned to keep Zabuza in place. I noticed however, that Kakashi had a deep gash on his chest…

"I realized that if I couldn't see you, I'd have to smell you out. I summoned forth my ninja hounds; they can track a scent anywhere…"

Except my scent.

"When you attacked me, I let you get past my guard. I wanted you to cut me. See the scent of my blood on your blade makes it so I could find you anywhere….looks like I wasn't the only one that was blind." Kakashi said as he stood up to look at the now fastened down Zabuza.

"I'm disappointed that you have fallen into my trap Zabuza….Ah, it looks like the mist is clearing up. You know what I see? Your death." Kakashi then said.

Wow he's still got that ANBU tone…

"Talk talk talk, are you just going to talk me to death?" Zabuza said with impatience.

He's frightened now…

"In a way, yes. My hounds are just playing with you but one word from me and they will rip you apart." Kakashi explained.

Kakashi talked about all of Zabuza's failures in his assassinations and asked him if he was ever going to learn to not take things to far…then he mentioned something about Zabuza wanting to try the assassinations again.

"And in order for you to do that, you need money. Then the only thing you could come up with is to be a hired assassin for a thug like Gato. Well, it's time that I ended this now. This time however, I will not be using my Sharingan or any other ninja jutsu. It's time I introduced you to my own type of jutsu…" Kakashi said with a hint of anger as he held up a very familiar hand sign.

You mean to tell me that he still uses Chidori? That has to be one of the most dangerous jutsu if he's mastered it over the years…

"Chidori!" Kakashi said as he wheedled the power of his blue lightening chakra in the palm of his hand.

It is much stronger than I remember…

"Chakra so strong it's visible! How can this be?!" Zabuza said with shock.

"I won't let you kill Tazuna. He is a brave man with a noble dream. This bridge he is building is the hope of this land and its people…You're like a disease. By attacking one, you infect all the others, and you don't even care. That is not the way of the shinobi." Kakashi said as he kept his Chidori focused in his palm.

"You're right! I don't care! These people and their dreams don't matter to me! I have my own dream." Zabuza said with a bit more confidence.

You are all out of strength, there is no point to argue with Kakashi.,.

"Your future has run out…you don't get to fulfill your dream."

Suddenly I heard Calcifer bark to get my attention. He ran very quickly to me.

"Haku is about to so a speed jutsu. He's a deep kid that one. He's going to protect Zabuza." Calcifer said.

"What!?"

Suddenly I saw Haku build and ice mirror in front of Zabuza and Kakashi saw it too but he built up his strength to break through it only to see that he struck Haku instead of Zabuza! Blood shot out onto Kakashi's head band and cheek and also flowed down onto the floor as the hound dogs were dismissed due to the needled Haku threw before Kakashi struck.

This boy…why would he do so much for a scum like him…

The wind from the jutsu blasted far across the bridge but moved around my sphere so it does not disturb my identity. I looked at Haku as he grabbed Kakashi's hand that pressed firmly onto his wounded death. The one thing that truly surprised me was that his soul was pure white instead of black when Kakashi struck.

"It seems that Haku was truly innocent after all…only to be mislead but kept strong hold of his dream to protect Zabuza and gave his life trying…" I said to Calcifer with a surprised look.

"So my future is all used up huh? Wrong again Kakashi." Zabuza said with a chuckle and a wide eyed expression.

The fog suddenly lifted but the image before me was an unpleasant one. It seems that Haku has only a few seconds before his life is gone and Sakura was a bit farther ahead protecting what looked like to be the bridge builder…and Naruto ran up and stopped just neck to Calcifer to observe.

"This looks bad…" I mumbled.

"I don't get it! Just what the heck's going on here?" Naruto said with confusion.

I looked at Naruto for a moment and looked away in sadness. It seems that baby that I once raised is now in the middle of a real ninja fight…it feels like he is still just too young…

I then looked up to see that Haku's soul has left his body but Kakashi's hand embedded in his body kept him standing.

"He stood in front of my attack…he saved your worthless life." Kakashi said with more disappointment but this kind of disappointment had great sadness hidden within it's words.

"-chuckles- Well done Haku." Zabuza said from behind the body.

"This guy looks plenty qualified to take to hell with us." Calcifer said next to me in a very angry tone.

"We can't…not now. Let's see what Kakashi does next." I said as I continued to watch.

Suddenly, Zabuza growled with pain as he used his good arm to swing his blade at Kakashi.

He would cut through the boy just to reach him?

I was beyond disgusted now. Zabuza's soul is turning a tint of dark red.

Just as he was about to strike down, Kakashi grabbed Haku and jumped up and back to dodge the attack.

"-laughs- Not bad for carrying a corpse in your arms." Zabuza said as he looked at Kakashi.

"Ugh! I'm going to kill you!" Naruto shouted at Zabuza.

"No Naruto! Stay out of this." Kakashi said in anger as he carefully placed Haku down and closed his eyes so he could rest in peace.

"Zabuza is mine." He then said with a dark anger that I have not heard in his tone.

"Hey Naruto over here! So you and Sasuke are alright?" Sakura shouted from across the battle scene.

I looked over at Naruto to see him pained. I then looked back to see that Sasuke's soul was still intact so Sasuke wasn't dead.

"Where is Sasuke!?" Sakura then shouted.

Naruto didn't answer and she soon got the message. She held Tazuna's hand and passed by Naruto to where Sasuke lays but I didn't pay attention to them much since I was trying to stay focused on the battle. I could tell that my Naruto was pained…I know now what it feels like to see him in pain like this…

A few moments later, I suddenly heard Sakura cry in the distance.

"The 25th principle of Shinobi battle conduct…to never show emotions in a battle. Looks like this was harder than they thought but if you ask me…no one really follows that principle…we are human after all." I said to Calcifer as I looked at where Sakura was crying.

I looked back at Zabuza and switched from Reaper sight to wolf sight and noticed that Zabuza is beyond his limits and his body is slowing him down. I was completely right when he attacked Kakashi, Kakashi merely just punched him.

"I will cut you in half!" Zabuza yelled in anger.

He lunged at Kakashi a few more times but Kakashi just dodged them and with incredible speed, he appeared behind Zabuza and grasped the back of his neck firmly. Then, in the distance I noticed my target has arrived…along with a lot of company.

"Well well well, so this is how it turns out huh?" He says in the distance.

Kakashi swung two bladed with his finger and aimed them straight for Zabuza. He took the shot but Zabuza swung his blade again and the kunai stabbed into his bicep and caused him to drop the blade as Kakashi jumped back to save himself from too much of the impact.

"Now both of your arms are useless. What now?" Kakashi asked.

Then, everyone finally noticed Gato's presence.

"Did quite a job on you didn't he Zabuza? You look like yesterdays sashimi. I have to say, I'm disappointed." Gato said with a smug smile as he smacked his can down.

"Wow, harsh day for Zabuza…all he's done is disappoint people." I said with a giggle at the end.

"What do we do now Kiki? If we try to take out Gato, your friends will see you.." Calcifer said,

"That's a risk I may have to take." I said as I bit my thumb nail in thought.

Suddenly Gato walked forward so he was right next to Haku and kicked him.

"I've been meaning to repay you for nearly breaking my arm." He said.

Naruto was infuriated and I was too…it is very bad to disrespect the dead in such a way.

"Get away!" Naruto said as he lunged forward.

"Kakashi stop him!" I then said as if Kakashi could hear me but he did anyways.

"Naruto use your head!" Kakashi said as he held onto Naruto.

"Are you just going to let him do that Zabuza!?" Naruto yelled to Zabuza with anger.

"Be quiet you fool. Haku is dead so what does it matter." He responded plainly.

"What! You mean to tell me that he meant absolutely nothing to you!" Naruto said.

"This is simply the way of the shinobi and obviously you don't understand that yet. I used Haku just as Gato used me. Haku as a person, I do not care for but his strength and skill…that meant something." Zabuza said.

"Now I understand…Zabuza was just covering…he can't stand the fact that Haku is gone." I said.

"If you mean what you say, than your even a bigger rat than I thought!"

"Alright Naruto calm down, he is not the enemy anymore." Kakashi said as he tried to calm down Naruto.

"No! As far as I know, he is enemy number 1!"

"Naruto…" I said in disbelief.

"I see a lot of you in him Kiki. He's got a very wise soul In him…" Calcifer said since we both knew where Naruto was going to go with this.

"Why you…Haku lived for you! You were the most important thing to him! And he meant nothing to you! Nothing at all? He sacrificed so much for you and you don't even care? And when I become stronger, will I become like you? He lived to protect your dream and you didn't let him have his own! And when he died, you just threw him away like a broken tool. That is so wrong!" Naruto said with great pain and anger.

"Stop. Your words cut deep kid. Deeper than any blade made. Haku's heart was breaking in two…curse him, he has rubbed off on me too. It is time I have ended this…I have failed." Kabuza said as he started to cry and then used his mouth to tear his bandages off to reveal his face.

"Surprised to see I'm only human?" He then asked Gato.

"Boy hand me your kunai." He then asked Naruto.

Naruto threw one to him and he caught it in his mouth.

"This is going to get messy..." I said as I ran to look in between both parties.

Zabuza began to kill of the thugs that Gato hired and I summoned reaper sight to follow Gato's red soul to the back of the party. However, before Zabuza reached Gato, he was stabbed too many times and he was pinned down.

"Calcifer! I'm breaking the jutsu and entering the dimension." I said as I then summoned my scythe.

"I stabbed the sphere from the inside and ripped a hole to jump out of and appeared with Calcifer in front of everyone.

"Who's that! Where did they come from!" Naruto asked in shock.

"I didn't even sense their chakra…it's like they came from thin air…" I heard Kakashi say from behind me.

I ran with Calcifer at unbelievable speed to see that Zabuza has gotten back up and stabbed Gato but not very deep.

Calcifer and I cut through the whole crowd and I fed my scythe over 48 souls before I got to Gato and Zabuza.

Calcifer jumped and attacked Gato and held him on the edge of the bridge so he couldn't fall and I gently laid Zabuza down on his stomach so the spears wouldn't inflict further pain.

"If he was so eager as to join his friend, he can go! But I'm not going with him." Gato said in pain.

"No, where Haku has gone, I can no longer follow. No, where we are going, is far from where Haku has gone and I cannot think of a better destination. I should fit right in as a demon ninja but you will suffer for internity in hell!" Zabuza said as he looked at him with great lust of darkness.

Well at least Gato is going…

"I'll be your free train ticket. Gato, gang leader of this country, as the reaper from hell and the ninja world, I sentence you to eternity in hell!" I shouted as I carefully stabbed Gato and watched as his soul was sucked out and eaten by my blade. Gato's face was full of shock as was everyone behind me…

His body soon disintegrated and I turned around with Calcifer and threw my blade to the side to be dismissed and it dissolved and was teleported back to hell.

"Who are you? State your name and village." I heard Kakashi say seriously.

"Calcifer, its best you return to hell. I have much to do up here while I still have time." I said as I stroked his neck a bit and watched as he engulfed in flames and was teleported back to hell.

"Who are you!" I suddenly heard Naruto.

"Calm down. I'm not here to harm you." I said as I walked towards them.

"Stop where you are and remove your hood." Kakashi said as he stood and readied a kunai.

"You don't have enough chakra to fight me Kakashi. Please don't push yourself." I said as I stopped in front of them.

I slowly removed my hood and dismissed reaper sight. My hair slowly turned golden and my eyes turned green while the scars on my eye lids disappeared. I removed my mask and watched as Kakashi opened his eyes in complete shock.

"No…it can't be you…"
