An Unexpected Outcome
A/n &dis: I do NOT under ANY circumstance own Naruto, Kishimoto-sensei does. I own any OCs I introduce, my plot (after the adopted chapters) and my insanity. Keep the flames down please, Tobirama, Zabuza and my other Suiton users have all run away. This is kinda AU. Sorry the Zabuza fight is so darn short, but its been stumping me FOR MONTHS and i wanted to get this out here for you guys
anything that looks like this is a jutsu.
again, sorry for all the line breaks minna-san! so many POV changes and such
"Hmm…. it seems i have a few fans," came a taunting voice from the mist.
Shizune tensed as her 'mother' cracked her knuckles.
"Zabuza ka…." muttered Tsunade, "This'll be interesting."
"Kaa-san…." said Shizune softly, "Should we try and use scare tactics by revealing who we are?"
"Let's wait for Kashi. If it doesn't work, we'll need his help," whispered Tsunade.
Zabuza heard the two women mutter between themselves about revealing who they were. Why would two mere women scare him, even if the man they were talking about was a ninja, no one escaped Zabuza.
Kakashi's hand rested on the eyepatch he now used to cover his Sharingan as he contemplated jumping into the mist and luring the Kiri-nin, who judging by the density of the mist was at least a Jonin level ninja, out.
"We can't wait. We need him out of the house," said Shizune, "We have patients in here right now!"
"I know. Let's get going Shizune. We need to move fast," said Tsunade.
Shizune nodded and said, "Dokubari rendan!" A barrage of poisoned needles were launched from her wrist shooters in the direction she had heard Zabuza in, trying to push him outside.
Tsunade clenched her fist, releasing her chakra into it as she flared out her senses trying to find the strongest source of the enemy's chakra.
'Fucking hell…' thought Zabuza as he avoided the needles, 'These ain't ordinary women at all!'
A fist flew towards his face and he swiftly dodged swearing to himself as he did.
"The fuck are you?!" asked Zabuza as the needles and punches continued to rain down on him, pushing him towards the exit.
"Only a family," same a voice from outside. It was the scarecrow looking dude.
"And family protects each other," said the needle chick as she stopped firing senbon.
"But the Hyuuga kid ain't yours! Just let me have her!" said Zabuza before he bit his tongue, drawing blood. That was a rookie mistake. He had let them get him talking. So much for a silent kill. It was time for the full out assault.
"Doton: Doryuheki!" said Kakashi as he slammed his hands into the ground, the wall swiftly rising to protect Tsunade and Shizune from the Kubikiribocho's swing.
"Thanks Kashi," said Tsunade.
"No trouble Kaa-san," said Kakashi.
"So, shall we introduce ourselves Kaa-san?" asked Shizune.
"I think it's very rude to fight strangers," said Tsunade, "Kashi, clear this place out a bit, please."
"Hai, kaa-san," said Kakashi before he ran through some hand seals and said, "Fuuton: Seisei no kaze!"
A large wind stirred, sweeping away the Kirigakure no Jutsu to reveal the trio.
Zabuza's eyes narrowed as he watched the trio get into a line.
"I am Senju Tsunade," said the buxom blonde.
"Kato Shizune," said the other woman.
"Hatake Kakashi," said Kakashi, with a little mocking salute.
"Ok. Don't give a fuck. I have a job to do," said Zabuza with a shrug.
"Oh, this is gonna be fun," said Tsunade as she cracked her knuckles.
"Kirigakure no Jutsu!" said Zabuza as a new fog bank rolled in, even more saturated with his chakra so it wouldn't be dispelled.
"Can i go all out?" asked Kakashi.
"Nah. Let's see what one of the Kiri no Shinobigatana Shichinin Shū is capable of," said Tsunade, "Let's see what he does."
"Eight options. Larynx, spine, lungs, liver, jugular, clavicle vein, kidneys and heart. Wonder which ones i should use on you," said Zabuza thoughtfully, his voice echoing through the mist.
"This should be interesting," said Shizune as she tried to find Zabuza.
"My blade is thirsty for blood... Mind helping me? Maybe the jugular would be best..." Zabuza said with his voice echoing from all directions.
"Then it'll have to be thirsty for a little while longer," said Kakashi as he summoned a tanto blade.
"Oh? And what's a kid like you gonna do?"
"Kakashi, don't let him get to you. After all, who should the Copy-nin, Sharingan no Kakashi fear?" asked Tsunade.
"Hai, kaa-san," said Kakashi.
Zabuza moved silently towards Kakashi with blinding speed, swinging his giant head hunter knife towards Kakashi's arm.
The Kubikiribocho cut through a Doton bunshin as a flurry of poison needles came flying at Zabuza.
Zabuza jumped out of the way and disappeared into the mist again. "Not bad... I see you guys work well together."
"Why wouldn't we? We ARE a family. Blood or not," said Tsunade.
The two of the three former Konoha nin surged forward to find Zabuza, while Tsunade remained standing, prepared for if someone tried to blow past her.
"Tch…" muttered Zabuza as he began to plan. He needed the girl, and ONLY the girl. How was he going to do this. He was about to move when he suddenly froze, feeling something behind him.
Kakashi stood behind the bandaged ninja, a tanto to his spine
"So, what's your deal?" asked Zabuza worriedly.
"Well, i find myself in need of an active ninja who can… keep track of some events. I think you fit the bill nicely. Our door is always open if you need rest, and we'll pay you as if this was a B-rank mission," said Tsunade.
"That it?" asked Zabuza.
"For now. I may need more of your skills later on," said Tsunade, "And of course you can still take other missions. I'd like it if you DIDN'T go nuke."
"Yeah yeah. I can do that," said Zabuza.
"Excellent. Please, come in and have some food," said Tsunade.
"What do you think Kaa-san wants from him?" asked Shizune.
"I'd rather not think about it," said Kakashi, "Kaa-san can be scary."
Shizune nodded and knocked a code out on the door to the cellar.
Haruko opened the door a crack and saw the trio before she said, "Oh thank Kami. Kimimaro is ok, right?"
"Yeah, i think he's just unconscious is all," said Shizune reassuringly.
"I'll take him. Ruto and Hinata-chan dozed off. They're still down there with Haku," said Haruko.
"I'll go get them," said Kakashi as he handed the unconscious boy to Haruko.
The man descended the stairs and saw his little brother and Hinata curled up together, napping. Haku shushed him from his spot a foot away from the pair.
"Haku, go get a camera. This is something kaa-san would want in the photo album," said Kakashi silently.
The boy nodded and tiptoed upstairs, returning a couple minutes later with a camera he handed to his 'cousin'.
Kakashi held it up to his good eye and snapped a picture of the cuddled up pair of toddlers. He handed the camera back to Haku before he lifted the kids and walked back upstairs.
