Change POV/FF
Naruto grumlbed as the group walked towards the wave country. Not only had the Uchiha shown him up, but that old coot Tazuna couldn't stop insulting him. Also, the man was being chased by Gato. Naruto wanted to smack Tazuna for not telling them that to begin with. and he was about to, when he heard Haku sending a whistle signal to Zabuza, that he had released his warning, a small white snow hare. Naruto chuckled, and flung a kunai at the rabbit, which he didn't quite like after it bit him. Sakura scolded him for attacking the poor 'helpless' rabbit while Sasuke smirked.
"Dobe."
Naruto glared at Sasuke. He was about to say that he really didn't like that imparticular rabbit, when Kakashi yelled, "Duck!"
The group dropped to the floor. A broad sword flew over them. Naruto wanted to smile. 'So it's Zabuza first then. I wonder where Haku is...' He signaled Zabuza to pretend like he didn't know him. Zabuza apparetnly agreed, because all that happened was Zabuza and Kakashi fighting. When Kakashi had Zabuza cornered, Naruto had to fight the urge to leap forward and defend his friend. Haku appeared right as Naruto was about to help Zabuza. Haku lightly nodded to Naruto, and then he dissappeared with Zabuza.
-Kakashi's POV-
The team had been doing well so far. They had survived a major attack, Tazuna was safe, and they were almost to his home. Kakashi then turned his head to look over his team. Sakura was still shaking. Sasuke looked agrivated. Naruto was just looking around. 'Weird." Kakashi thought . Naruto should be jumping up and down and yelling 'yeah' at the top of his lungs because of his brilliant shuriken idea and the fact that Sasuke had immidiently understood and played his part in the plan perfectly. They had achieved a great level of teamwork. And yet, Naruto was completey silent, and there was an unfamiliar warmth in his eyes.
Tazuna shouted loudly to someone. Kakashi looked up and saw a house with a woman and a small boy coming out.
-FF a few hours-
-Sakura's POV-
Sakura frowned while Naruto argued with some kid. She didn't have any idea what they were talking about, since she didn't care, but she was slighty annoyed by them, because they were disturbing her precious Sasuke-kun. She decided to drown them out and just gaze at Sasuke.
-Naruto's POV-
Naruto sighed as he leaned against the wall. 'The boy doesn't believe in heroes' He mused. He decided to prove the boy, Inari, wrong. After all, he had nothing better to do. That, and it was easy to clobber Zabuza and Haku.
