"Fuuton! Vortex wall!" naruko cried as a watery dragon came at her, the jutsu deflected the dragon. she had cuts and bruises on her, from hand to hand with the missing ninja. Kakashi was standing back, letting her have go, trying to weaken the demon of the Mist, she knew she wasn't strong enough without giving over to Fluffy to defeat the man. her chakra was exhausting though, straining to produce enough to call up more jutsus without drawing on Kurama's who was already not too happy that she drew on a little earlier without his permission.
She dodged another jutsu, and as she was doing so, fund Zabuza running at her, he pinned her to a tree with the sword at her throat. she could feel the cold metal cutting into her soft skin,
"Looks like the end, Kunochi, you fought well, I'll give you- ohph!" Zabuza was cut off as her foot connected with his crotch. she was able to escape.
"That was a dirty trick…" Zabuza growled as he straightened back up.
'I'm a Ninja, not a samurai, momochi." she puffed, and the cut in her throat glowed red, and healed itself.
"Kashi! your turn." She jumped back and landed in front of Tanzua, drawing her sword and sticking it in the ground. she puffed, holding her katana still, and watched, exhaustion apparent in the way her shoulders shook, and sweat stuck her turtleneck to her back.
"here,"Sakura reached into her pocket, She gave her a soldier pill, she nodded and ate it, feeling energy rush through her limbs.
"thanks Sakura." she stood up and pulled her sword from the dirt, and stood at attention, watching as Kakashi wore Zabuza down more.
"Kashi!" she called, the grey haired copy ninja looked over and she nodded. he nodded back and they switched spots again, Naruko held her katana out in-front of ehr.
"You again? why doesn't the pinkie or the uchiha take a shot at it?" Zabuza asked.
"The pinkie and Uchiha aren't Kenjutsuist or strong enough. Uchiha almost can but he's my backup."
"And the Pinkie?" Zabuza pressed, dodging as she darted at him ,
"Thats classified." She snapped. the talking ceased. she raised her sword and charged. her smaller sword clinked against Zabuza's head cleaver. they sprang apart and Naruko smirked, and channeled her wind chakra into the blade. the blade hardened and a blue glow emanated from it and it formed into a shake that mimicked the blade Zabuza held up to even the hole in the end.
"Meet Mohotsubasa. my blade can mimic the shape and power of any blade I'm up against. even the famed Headcleaver." Naruko grinned. "You're mine." she rushed forward, pushing forth all her chakra as she ran, she clashed with Zabuza, who recoiled in surprise, this small girl was wielding a sword the same size and shape as his, with the same prowess and strength that he would. she swung with brute power. he leaped back and narrowed his eyes as she swung it over her shoulder. there was sweat lining her cheeks, her limbs trembled with effort. he assumed then, she was exhausted but had immeasurable endurance and would push on against him until she went into a chakra exhaustion induced coma. he swung his blade into a tree and begun making handsigns, deciding to try and overcome her in jutsu power.
"Suiton: Rising storm!" Zabuza said. a upheaval of water from the nearby river washed towards Naruko. she just smirked and sheathed Mohotsubasa and made hand signs,
"Fuuton! Kitsune whirlwind!" four great foxes made from wind charged Zabuza and his wall of water. two of the apparitions dispelled against the water canceling out the other jutsu the other two went straight for the tree that Zabuza stood in. he didn't have time to dodge them both, as he dodged one collided right into him, he cried out in pain as his skin was shredded and he fell to the ground.
Naruko smirked and straightened up, she drew Mohotsubasa and slowly strode towards him. he was laying still as his body bled and bled there were black red deep gashes in his body where the wind chakra had sliced to the bone, cutting tendons and immobilizing him. he was able to move his head, but it agonized him to do so.
"This is rather sad, Zabuza-san." Naruko purred. her teammates stood back watching in slight confusion as their blonde teammate circled the slightly trembling body of zabuza. "I am but a gennin, I'll admit my Kenjutsu skills are borderline joining, but that was just a highly charged a rank jutsu. goes to show, strategy vastly overwritten power. if I had no strategy, I may be dead now. but, it looks like you are dead." Naruko purred as she raised her Katana and positioned it over Zabuza's weakening heart. three needles came from the tree and pierced Zabuza's jugular instantly killing him. a hunter nin appeared above Naruko, and jumped down to land in front of her and Zabuza's body.
"You have done well, Konoha Nin. I'll take it from here." it said.
"I think I'll make sure you have completed your job, Hunter Nin." Naruko growled, and as she stared into the hunter-nin's face, plunged her blade deep into Zabuza's chest and twisted. there was a soft whine from Zabuza's body, a sign of true death.
"Kashi, that is no hunter nin!" She exclaimed, Kakashi was behind the green clad shinobi in a moment with a kunai at the back of its neck. Naruko removed her sword from Zabuza's corpse, and swung it at the hunter nin, slicing its mask in half. Naruko's eyes widened, she was sure it smelled like a boy, but it was extremely effeminate.
"Who are you." Naruko growled. Sasuke and sakura retook their positions in front of Tanzua.
"I am Haku, Zabuza's top subordinate." As he said this he swung suddenly at Kakashi catching the older ninja off guard, and then swept at Naruko, crying, "And I will avengle my master!"
But it was for naught. Naruko swung her sword, and Haku's head hit the ground before his body.
I'm sorry to those who still read. I just settled from a very involved long move over a state line Dx it was dreadful. but now I'm settled and ready to start witing again! I hope this made up for the long wait. and I also hope I dodnt over power Naruko too much?
