When ever Kaoru changes into someone who doesn't kill like Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin should he also not kill, or should he have an 'it was necessary' attitude towards killing?

--Ch10 wave mission pt3--
Last time on Kitsune brothers
Kakashi shook his head signaling the negative "I figured why not find out from Tazuna-san seeing as he was their target, I already know who they are by their appearance the demon brothers Kiri-nukenin, Chuunin ranked" As soon as he finished talking he leveled a glare at Tazuna
"Care to explain why you lied about the mission?"
Tazuna was sweating bullets as Kakashi and Kurenai leveled their glares in his direction. He backed up and waved his hands in a calming expression before launching into his sob story
"Well you see, Nami as it is, is very poor even our Daimyo doesn't have much money, we couldn't afford anything higher than C-ranked missions." He sighed and looked at the ground fake tears running down his face causing the shinobi to sweat drop
Kurenai rubbed her temples "Ok we know the reason you lied, now who's after you?"
Tazuna gulped nervously "Well you see… Gatou is after me"
Kakashi looked on in interest as the gennin listened intently, well for the most part.
"Gatou? As in that wealthy merchant from Gatou's shipping industries?" Kakashi asked while reading his book which he had taken out after hearing the name
Kurenai glared at Kakashi as Tazuna answered "The very one, His business is only a cover, in reality he runs as a drug dealer and other underground operations. A couple of months ago he set his sights on Nami and took over all of the shipping routes isolating us from the outside world."
At this point Shino spoke "and the only thing that can stop him is your bridge thus he wants you dead" Tazuna nodded "Hai that is correct"
The two Jounins sighed then Kakashi spoke for both of them "Well we should abort the mission because you lied about the mission, Tazuna-san"
Kaoru who had stayed quiet the entire time interrupted Kakashi "No offense Kakashi-san but I feel we should complete the mission, besides I'm sure the majority agree with me on this" as he finished he turned to face the other gennin
Naruto nodded in confirmation but said nothing, Shino mirrored this. Kiba shouted "Hell Yeah! No way am I backing down from this mission count on it!"
Hinata nodded as she said softly "I agree with them sensei"
Sasuke nodded with a smirk on his face "I want to test myself against strong enemies"
Sakura agreed because Sasuke did
Kurenai sighed "I still don't think you are ready for this" Naruto snorted at this
"Sensei we have two Jounin, and six skilled gennin I think we can handle it"
Sauske in a miniscule amount of interest asked "Six? Who are they?"
Naruto though slightly surprised he didn't automatically assume he was one of the six answered nonetheless "Aniki, myself, you, Shino, Kiba, and Hinata-chan"
Sasuke grunted what Naruto assumed was an approval he then faced their senseis before he winced as Sakura shouted "What about me! I'm skilled as well!"
Kiba stared at her incredulously "Are you out of your mind you pink haired banshee, what can you do that's helpful?" everyone stared at her waiting for her answer
Sakura thought long and hard to reach an answer before she gave up and punched Kiba hard in the gut
Kiba curled into a ball as Akamaru barked in worry for him
Naruto whispered to Kaoru "Well she already has freakish strength if she takes shinobi life seriously she could learn Tsunade's super strength"
Kaoru nodded in agreement
As Kiba got to his feet the Jounins looked as if they had come to a decision "Alright we will continue the mission but everyone be extra careful got it?" Kakashi said as he started heading towards Nami
Everyone chorused "Hai!" as they got into formation around Tazuna and continued on their way Tazuna crying tears of joy
In nearby trees
A feminine figure looked at the group as they left
"Interesting," they muttered to themselves "The two Jounins and the one with the Kanji for beni on his front could be trouble"
The figure then jumped towards the ambush site and was shocked "He did this all by himself?" there in the clearing were the dismembered bodies of twenty Iwa-nuke Nins, the things the observer saw were to say the least…gruesome. Blood was everywhere, dripping from the trees, and soaking the ground. Most of the bodies had missing body parts, looking around the observer found about seven heads stuck in the trees their bodies underneath the heads. Five others had a missing arm and a stab wound right where the heart was. Five others had a hole in their necks obviously a stab from a kunai. And the last three? They were pinned to the trees by a kunai right through the heart
Then the observer realized another thing "How could he kill like this without getting a drop of blood on him"
Look around once more the observer sighed "I must report this to Zabuza-sama"
With the Konoha group
They had arrived at the shore to find two boatmen waiting for them and everyone boarded one team7 in one and team8 with Tazuna in another.
When they got to a certain point the boatmen killed the engines and used a paddle to row the rest of the way.
Pretty soon the gennins were awed at the site of the bridge as it came into view through the fog
Kaoru would've whistled if it were safe to, but he muttered "That's the biggest bridge I've ever seen, nice work Tazuna-san"
Tazuna puffed his chest with pride but kept silent opting to play it safe
Naruto stared at the bridge until he felt a head rest on his arm looking down he saw Hinata resting her head on his arm. Smiling beneath his mask he wrapped his arms around her and held her protectively as he scanned the waters
Kurenai noticing this smiled at the two wishing she could do the same with Kaoru but she was the team leader she couldn't afford to let her guard down and looking at Kaoru she assumed he felt the same
Soon they reached shore and everyone got off the boats as the boats pulled away
Kakashi looked them over "Alright guys be careful it'll most likely be a Jounin next so be on your toes"
The group nodded and headed off towards Tazuna's home.
As they walked they noticed the mist getting thicker Kaoru muttered just loud enough for the group to hear "Careful the enemy may use the mist to their advantage be ready at a moments notice" they nodded and continued on their way
As they walked they heard a bush rustle and Kiba threw a kunai at it but what came out was a rabbit with snow white hair. "What were you thinking scaring us like that you mutt!" Sakura shouted as she hit him in the head
Naruto noticing the fur color whispered to Hinata "Scan the area like last time with the ambushers" She nodded
"Byakugan!" she murmured, she scanned the area and noticed a figure in the tree raising a rather large sword above his head. Realizing what he was doing she shouted "Duck now!" everyone hit the ground while Kakashi pulled Tazuna down with him
The sword flew above their heads and embedded itself into a tree then the figure that Hinata had seen jumped onto the hilt, he had camo pants, no shirt and a mask of bandages around his lower face.
"Well, well if it isn't Sharingan no Kakashi and Yuuhi Kurenai Genjutsu mistress of Konoha an honor." He said from atop his sword. Sasuke's eyes widened 'Sharingan? But that only appears in certain members of my clan, could he be…?'
Kakashi narrowed his eyes "Momochi Zabuza demon of the bloody mist an A-rank nuke nin from Kirigakure no sato" the two Kazama brothers raised their eyebrows but stayed quiet
Zabuza smirked "So you've heard of me eh Kakashi it's truly an Honor that someone famous for copying 1,000 jutsu has heard of me…but…enough chit chat hand over the old man and you can walk away from here alive"
Kakashi raised his headband "Sorry but no you will have to get through me first. Everyone defensive formation around Tazuna! Kurenai act as support!" he then opened his left eye revealing a ruby red eye with three tomoes in it.
"I get to see the Sharingan so soon! This will be fun!"
Sakura curious asked "What's the Sharingan?"
Surprisingly Sasuke answered "It's a Doujutsu that allows the user to copy any Nin, Gen, or Tai jutsu and mirror them perfectly"
Zabuza added more "That's not all it's said that with that eye the user can foresee the future, and not only does it copy an ability it memorizes it"
Kiba listened in amazement before muttering "The Uchiha's Kekkai Genkai is amazing"
Before anything else could be said Zabuza jumped onto the water with one hand raised above his head the other in front of his face "Ninpou: Kirigakure no jutsu!" once this was said the mist became thicker making it harder for the gennin to see.
Kakashi seeing this sent a warning to them "be careful Zabuza is a master of silent killing you'll be dead before you know it. He'll target me first; don't let your guard down"
Then Zabuza's voice could be heard all around them in the mist "eight choices for a sure death: Liver, lungs, spine, clavicle vein, neck, brain, kidneys, or the heart. Now which one shall I strike?"
This little speech unnerved the gennin except for Naruto and Kaoru but Kaoru grabbed his head in pain
"Damn it…" he grunted "…Not now damn, it's because he's a swordsman this is happening." Naruto looked towards his brother in worry then he looked over everyone else Kiba, Sakura, and Hinata were visibly shaking, Shino was tense, and Sasuke looked suicidal
"This, this aura, is this what a jounin's battle is like? The tension is so thick I'd rather kill myself now" Sasuke said slowly as he raised his kunai only to be stopped by Kakashi's voice
"Sasuke! Calm down I won't let my comrades die" he gave off his eye smile as he turned his head. By this time Kaoru had both hands on his head and his grunts of pain were audible to everyone around him including Zabuza
"Ha, ha, ha you say that Kakashi but that one looks ready to keel over and die right now!" Zabuza appeared in the middle of their formation "Let me put him out of his misery!" He then swung his sword at Kaoru's head aiming to behead him, but was stopped, by a sword with a reversed blade.
Backing away from the sword and its wielder Zabuza got a good look at who stopped him. The man stood where Kaoru had been, he wore a white hakama and a red haori the sheath of his sword on his white obi.
Taking a look at the man's face Zabuza's eyes widened as he recognized the face "Long red hair, and a cross shaped scar on his left cheek…it can't be"
The man spoke his voice feminine "Now…who were you going to put out of their misery?" he held his sword up in a ready position
Zabuza backed up some more confusing the gennin and Jounin
Kiba leaned closer to Shino "What's going on who's that guy with red hair, and why is Zabuza backing away from him?"
Shino spoke his voice that one of confusion "I do not know Kiba"
Sasuke was seething "What did that dobe do to make a Jounin back away in fear?"
Kakashi who had heard him answered "I don't know Sasuke but it looks like we'll find out."
Naruto thought to himself as he watched in interest 'so it's him, well this will be interesting'
Zabuza who had by now backed away to forty feet away from the man spoke his identity "Himura Kenshin the Hitokiri Battōsai (1) master of the Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryū (2)"
Well what do you think was it good? I felt this was a good place to stop
