Chapter 5: The Land of Waves part 2
The guy that appeared had the bottom of his face covered and wasn't wearing a shirt. "Well, well, if it isn't Momachi Zabuza," said Kakashi. "All right group let me handle this; he's on a whole different level then the guy's before. It might be a little rough."
"Kakashi of the sharingan eye, I presume?" said the man. Kagami and Sasuke looked at each other in surprise. "If it wouldn't be too much trouble could you surrender the old man?"
"Everyone protect Mr. Tazuna, and stay out of the fight," said Kakashi. He then slowly and dramatically lifted his head band to reveal his left eye that was different then his right. The eye, instead of being black was red with three black comma looking marks.
"What the heck is the sharingan eye?" asked Naruto as he looked at Kakashi's eye.
"It's a form of ocular ninjutsu that a shinobi masters. It enables them to penetrate and see the reality behind any illusion or spell, and reflect the power of the magic's they penetrate back on those who cast them," Sasuke said answering Naruto's question.
"But the sharingan can do more then that," said Kagami. "It's also called the mirror-wheel eye because it allows the master to copy their opponent's greatest skills. But unfortunately it's only unique to a small number of shinobi." 'Those small number of shinobi are in the Uchiha clan which now is only my two brothers and me. So how can Kakashi-sensei have…could he be…?'
"Enough of this chit-chat, I'm on a very tight schedule, and I have to polish off the old man still," Zabuza said. "Now I have to go through you, so prepare to die!" He disappeared again and reappeared on the lake. "Let me show you the finest of the ninja arts, the Kirigakure jutsu." Slowly he evaporated into mist and disappeared yet again.
"Stay on your toes everyone," said Kakashi as he looked around the mist trying to find where Zabuza was hiding. "If you drop your guard around him you will loss your life so fast you wouldn't know what hit you."
"Heh-Heh, there are eight targets I could hit," came Zabuza's voice out of no where. "I could hit the throat, spinal column, lungs, liver, or the jugular vein, the subclavian artery, kidney, or the heart. So which vital, vulnerable place shall I choose? Heh-Heh."
'Where is he, where is he?' Kagami thought as she looked around. 'This mist has to be an illusion so we can't see him. If only I had the sharingan I would be able to see trough it.' Just as she said that her eyes started to change from black to red and she was able to see through the illusion. 'Okay I was right about the illusion part, but where is Zabuza.' She then looked over at her brother to see if he was doing any better, but what she saw confused her. Sasuke was shaking with fear and looked like a scared rabbit. 'Why is Sasuke afraid? I haven't seen him like this since our clan was murdered.'
"Calm down everyone," said Kakashi who was smiling at the little group. "I will protect you even if he gets me, I'll never let my comrades die."
"Is that so? I wouldn't bet on it, the games over now," came Zabuza's voice from behind Kagami. What happened next happened so fast the genins didn't know what hit them. Zabuza was getting reading to swing his sword for the killing blow when Kakashi appeared and stabbed Zabuza in the gut, but another Zabuza appeared behind him, and the other turned into water.
"Look out behind you Kakashi!" yelled Kagami and Naruto. But Zabuza was to fast and sliced Kakashi in two, but Kakashi's body turned into water and appeared behind Zabuza.
"I think its game over for you Zabuza," Kakashi said as he pointed a kunai knife to Zabuza's neck.
"Heh-Heh, you think it's over?" laughed Zabuza. "It will take more to defeat me then mimicking me, but you're good. In that short time you duplicated my water clone jutsu, and by making your clone say something you'd have said yourself, you ensured all my attention would be focused on it while you used the Kirigakure jutsu of hiding in the mist, watching my every move. It's too bad for you…" Suddenly another Zabuza appeared behind Kakashi. "I'm not that easy to fool." Then the Zabuza in front of Kakashi burst into water. Zabuza swung his sword at Kakashi, who ducked out of the way, but Zabuza stuck his sword into the ground and switched hands on his sword then kicked Kakashi sending him flying into the lack. Zabuza then appeared behind Kakashi and trapped him inside a big ball of water. "I'll finish you later when I'm done with the others." He then summoned another one of his water clones that appeared (I'm using appeared and disappeared a lot aren't I? sorry for that.) in front of Kagami.
'Damn! This is not good,' she thought as she looked into his eyes. 'I need to stay calm and focus. Now what jutsu should I use?'
"So you have the sharingan as well," said Zabuza looking into Kagami's red eyes. "I don't have time for anymore copycat games, so if you'll excuse me." He lifted his arm and backhanded her, sending her flying and hitting her head hard on a near by tree. The world around her started to go black, but before she lost consciousness she saw Naruto charging at Zabuza with his shadow clones.
'This mission sucks,' Kagami thought as the world went completely black.
A Few Hours Later
Bright light shined in Kagami's eyes when she finally regained consciousness. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that she was in a house. When she sat up her head started to throb; looking around the room she saw that it had five futons, one being occupied by Kakashi.
"Oh," came a surprised voice from the door. "I see you finally decided to wake up. Let's go to the kitchen so your teammates can tell you what happened, oh! By the way, I'm Tazuna's daughter Tsunami." When Kagami and Tsunami entered the kitchen an orange and yellow blur latched onto Kagami in a big hug and started to kiss her all over her face.
"Naruto!" yelled Sakura who was sitting at the table with Sasuke. "The poor girl just woke up for crying out loud." With that said Naruto stopped smothering Kagami with kisses, but he still held on to her.
"Eww! You're so getting a bath later," Sasuke said under his breath, as he looked at his sister, cringing.
"Is your head alright?" asked Sakura. "You hit it pretty hard on that tree."
"Well my head does hurt a little," she said. "So what happened while I was out?"
"Oh man, you missed a great battle Kagami," Naruto said finally letting her go. "Sasuke and I teamed up and freed Kakashi from his watery prison. He then took the battle from there, and man you should have seen the look on Zabuza's face when Kakashi keep mimicking him. Kakashi then used this water style jutsu that sent Zabuza flying into a tree, but before Kakashi could finish him off this guy Kakashi called a shinobi hunter from the Village Hidden in the Mist got to Zabuza first then took the body away. Hey, speaking of Kakashi, who wants to go and see what's under his mask?"
"Naruto, I think that is a great idea," said Sakura as she got up from the table and walked over to Naruto. "Hurry before he wakes up." They ran into the room where Kakashi was unconscious.
"I don't think this is a good idea, I mean what if he wakes up? Who knows what he'll do to us," Kagami said nervously. Sasuke then walked in wondering where everyone went.
"Ok Sasuke, go ahead! Take it off!" Naruto shouted.
Sasuke twitched. "What?"
"You heard me! Take it off!"
"Eww! You perv! Stay away from my sister!"
"What are you talking about?"
"I will not take my clothes off for you so you can take a picture and sell it to rabid fangirls on eBay!" Sasuke finished red n the face and breathing hard. The others stared at him.
"What the fuck?" said Naruto as he looked at Sasuke.
"I missed the other half of the conversation didn't I?" Sasuke asked. They all nodded. "Damn."
"What are you guys yelling about?" Came Kakashi's voice.
"Kakashi-sensei! You're alive!" Kagami yelled, glomming him. His body then went limp. "Kakashi-sensei?" She asked, poking his cheek.
"You knocked hem out," said Sasuke. Kagami then reached up to Kakashi's face and grabbed the mask. The others gathered around her and she pulled it down. "What the heck?" She said, annoyed. She stared at her sensei's second mask. She shook her head and pulled it down too only to find another mask. Soon she was on her twentieth mask. "It's like that door in Alice in Wonderland! How many of these things does he have!?" as if on cue a white rabbit with a pocket watch hopped past saying "I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!" then it disappeared.
"I feel like I'm in a fanfic or something," said Sakura. The others nodded.
"Let's go eat," Sasuke mumbled as the others followed him out.
As the door clicked behind him, Kakashi sat up laughing, "I love genjutsu!"
Later that day
"Team, I've been thinking," said Kakashi after dinner. "Shinobi hunters who manage corpse disposals are supposed to destroy the bodies of those they kill at once."
"So," said Sakura as she finished helping Tsunami dry the dishes and sat down with the others.
"So how did the kid dispose of Zabuza's corpse?"
"I don't know, he took the body with him."
"Yes, he did, even though all he needed to take home as proof he'd made the kill was the head, and there is a mystery surrounding the weapons that the hunter used to kill his prey…"
"No way!" Sasuke said when he realized what Kakashi was saying.
"Yes."
"Wait, what are you talking about?" asked Kagami as she looked at Kakashi and Sasuke.
"That it's most likely that Zabuza is still alive," said Kakashi.
"What!" yelled Naruto. "You checked to see if he was dead, I saw you do it."
"Yes, I made sure, but a deathlike trance could have created a very convincing illusion of the real thing, and those acupuncture needle weapons that shinobi hunter used can be deadly if they hit a vital spot. If they don't, the chances of dying are surprisingly low, and remember they were originally designed for medical treatment. So with the boy going through all the trouble of lugging off Zabuza's dead body and using acupuncture needles as his weapons, you can suggest that the kid's objective was to give the illusion of killing Zabuza while he rescued him. It may be just the way they seemed, but we have to consider the other possibility too."
"So what are we going to do sensei?" asked Kagami.
"You're going to train, that's what," said Kakashi whit a big smile.
"But sensei, even if Zabuza is alive, how we can train without knowing when he will return and strike again?" asked Sakura this time.
"That is an excellent question Sakura, but once a person has been placed into a near-death trance it's quite some time before their body returns to its previous state of health."
"Yes, we finally get to do some training!" Naruto yelled as he jumped up. "This is going to be so much fun! What are we going to do Kakashi-sensei?"
"You will all find out tomorrow. Now let's get some sleep, you'll need all your energy for this training so good night."
"I sleep next to Naruto!" Kagami yelled as she jumped up and ran over to her back pack to get her pj's.
"Oh no you're not!" Saskue yelled, chasing her.
"Yes she is!" Naruto said following them.
"I don't feel like becoming an uncle!" Sasuke wailed.
"Eww! You sick pervert!" Kagami yelled. "I just want to snuggle!"
"So that's what they call it these days," said Kakashi.
"Yay! Let's snuggle!" Naruto yelled gleefully.
"You stay away from her! Ow! Don't throw your shoe at me Kagami!"
Kakashi shook his head. "Well tomorrow's going to be fun…anyway, I'm going to bed. Sakura make sure no one dies and/or gets pregnant." He smiled and stood up, leaning on his crutches.
"Hai Kakashi-sensei, wait what?!"
"Night Sakura, good luck!" he waved as he hobbled away.
Later That Night
Sasuke sighed. After hours of arguing he found himself sandwiched between his annoying sister and her even more annoying boyfriend. Both were latched on to his sides as if attempting to hug each other. He rubbed the lump on his head but then froze. He laughed it off but cringed when it came again. Something wet was touching his left ear. He twitched in disgust when he realized what it was. He stood up pointing at Kagami. "You sicko! Stop licking my ear!" He then dragged her over to the far corner. "You sleep there." He then pulled Naruto into the opposite corner, "And you sleep there." He sat in the middle of the floor, watching them. He eventually fell asleep, and woke up when he heard someone giggle. He looked up to see that they had subconsciously (although he seriously doubted that) in a tangle of arms and legs and he didn't like where Naruto's head was placed. He flung himself in between them, pushing them apart. 'Tomorrow they will die.' He thought sourly.
Next Morning
"Hey Sasuke!" Kagami yelled. "Whoa! What happened to you?" She noticed the dark circles under his eyes and disheveled hair.
"Go to hell," he muttered.
"What did I do?" she asked Naruto, who shrugged. After they all ate breakfast, and Kagami fixed Sasuke's hair back to its original duck buttyness, Kakashi took them out into the woods.
"Okay team, before we start are training let's discuss the basis of your ninja powers known as chakras," said Kakashi when they stopped at a little clearing.
"So, um, what are those again?" Naruto asked rubbing the back of his head.
"Naruto, chakras are the energies that a shinobi requires in order to perform ninjutsu," said Kagami. "Those energies are body and mind, together these two forms of energy are what make up chakras. In effect, all the arts and techniques of the shinobi are born of a combination of these two energies, brought forth from the body and spirit, which is called "manipulating the chakras", and focused in the mystic process known as "weaving the sings."
"That's right Kagami," said Kakashi smiling at her.
"I don't do so well with long explanations, but if you show me, my body can learn it," said Naruto.
"Naruto's right, we already employ the ninja arts and techniques," Sasuke said.
"But none of you have full mastery of your chakra," said Kakashi. "Now listen, manipulation of the chakra refers to summoning physical and mental energies, and combining them within your own body. Right now, none of you are using your chakras effectively. No matter how great the amount of chakra you summon and manipulate, if you can't maintain your balance, whatever the technique, not only will the effectiveness of your maneuver be cut in half but you could mess up so badly the spell may not be released at all. And because you end up using all your energies, you not only lack the stamina for a protracted fight, but you also develop significant vulnerabilities. So you have to learn to control your body through the harshest training, go out on a limb, and learn from the experience."
"But how do we do that Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked.
"How? Why that is simple, we climb trees," Kakashi said.
"Haha, I get it! Go out on a limb, climbing trees. That's a good one Kakashi-sensei," Kagami said laughing.
"Aho," Sasuke said, hitting her in the head.
"Well at least I have a personality!" She shouted back.
"Sure you do, that's why you're my sister. Younger sister that is," he said smiling.
"By 3.46 minutes!" Kagami stomped her foot.
"So I have balls and I'm older - I win."
"Alas dear brother, I'm the smart one, plus I have the sharingan, so I believe I win."
"It's on."
"It is so on."
"One."
"Two."
"Three."
"Rock! Paper! Scissors! Shoot!" they shouted.
"I win," Kakashi said covering both their rocks with paper. "Now pay attention. This won't be any ordinary tree climbing, because you won't be using your hands."
"But sensei, how are we going to do that?" asked Sakura.
"Just watch and learn my little ducklings," he said putting his hands together to summon some of his chakra. He then started to hobble over to a tree and put his foot on the trunk then the other and started to hobble up the tree.
"Wow, he's climbing," Naruto said in amazement.
"And without using his hands too," added Sakura.
"Now to do this you need to focus all of the energy of your chakra toward the soles of your feet and use that power to cling to the trunk," Kakashi said as he hung upside down on a branch.
"But what's the point?" asked Kagami. "How will climbing trees make us stronger?"
"The point of it all is greater mastery over the chakras," said Kakashi. "To use no more than is necessary, but to maximize its effectiveness in where and how it is applied. That control, is the most critical aspect of every jutsu and technique you'll ever apply. It's also the most difficult skill for even a master ninja to command. The type of tree-climbing we're doing here requires the most fine and delicate application if chakra energy imaginable. This is because the bottom of the foot is an area where it is most difficult to manipulate one's energies; in other words, if you can master the control needed for this skill, no jutsu should ever trouble you. The second objective is to build up enough stamina necessary to complete your task once the chakra has been focused. If you think this looks hard, it's even more difficult to maintain your chakra when using ninjutsu. In battle, things are constantly changing, and a true shinobi has to be able to manipulate and maintain his chakra on a dime, if he hopes to prevail, and the time you need to just stand around trying to summon and control your powers is a luxury you won't have. So while you're climbing those trees you'll also be mastering skills that will probably save you lives, now, no more talk." He then took out four kunai knives and threw them to each kid. "Cut the bark with the kunai at the highest point you can climb to, your goal is to make a mark on a higher spot each time you climb. Now don't be sad that you don't make it to the top of the tree on your first try. Now get going!"
"Sasuke!" Kagami yelled. "I challenge you to a tree climbing duel! The first one to make it to the top of their tree wins, okay."
"You're on," he said with determination in his eyes. All of them summoned chakra to their feet, and then they all ran toward a tree. Naruto was the first one to get to his tree, but when he tried to climb up, he fell down and hit his head on the ground. Sasuke on the other hand made it further then Naruto before the tree repelled him.
"This is easy," said Sakura who made it half way up her tree. Suddenly a kunai flied throw the air and landed between Naruto and Sasuke.
"It's really easy Sasuke," said Kagami who was sitting on a branch just a foot away from the top. "Looks like I'm going to win our little duel."
'Show off,' thought Sasuke as he looked up at his sister and glared at her.
"Well it looks like are two ladies have the beast chakra control out of the four of you. Understanding the use of one's chakras and manipulating them successfully is quite an achievement," Kakashi said as he started to hobbles down his tree. "So far Sakura is probably the one closest to over taking the Hokage, despite all of Naruto's boasts and aspirations, and Kagami looks to be the finest hope for the Uchiha clan."
"Kakashi-sensei how could you!?" yelled Sakura.
"All because they didn't make it up a tree the first time doesn't mean they won't be able to do those things," Kagami said as she climbed down her own tree.
"True, true, if they keep doing this, eventually they will be able to do the things they want to be," said Kakashi. "Now let's get back to tree climbing."
A Couple Hours Later
'I'm beat,' thought Kagami as she lunged and grabbed onto the top branch. She pulled herself up and called to Sasuke. "I win!"
Sasuke, whose highest mark was 10 feet, handed on the ground. "For the love of Mr. Puppy!"
"Who's Mr. Puppy?" asked Naruto looking at Sasuke. "Is he your boyfriend?"
"No, Mr. Puppy is…" Kagami started, but stopped when a kunai landed inched by her head.
"Not. Another. Word." Sasuke growled at her.
"Don't threaten my woman!" yelled Naruto.
"First, she's my sister! Second, don't call her your woman!" Sasuke yelled back.
"He can call me whatever he wants! Baka!" said Kagami and she threw her shoe at Sasuke's head.
"OW! No he can't!"
"Who says?" shouted Naruto.
"I do!"
"Who cares what you say Sasuke? Did you replace your brain with French Cheese or something?" yelled Kagami as she threw her other shoe at her brother's head.
"OW! Will you quit it? Damn woman!"
"What did you call her teme?" Naruto yelled and threw a rock at Sasuke.
"OW!"
"Naruto don't hurt Sasuke-kun!" Sakura yelled, punching Naruto.
Kagami climbed down her tree and walked over to Sakura and stood in front of her. "Well don't hurt my boyfriend," she said poking her in the shoulder.
"Well if you keep your boyfriend from hurting Sasuke then I won't have to hurt him," Sakura said poking Kagami back.
"Well Sasuke is my brother so that give the right to pick on him, and Naruto is my boyfriend who through me has the right to pick on my brother," she said poking Sakura harder.
"Hmm, too shay," said Sakura then they both start to laugh.
"Did I miss something here," Naruto asked Sasuke.
"I don't know, girls are just wired sometimes," Sasuke answered back.
"Are you kids training?" came Kakashi's voice.
"Yes sensei!" they all said at the same time.
Rrright," he said not believing them as he hobbled over to a tree and sitting down then popped open his book. Kagami went over to him and sat down beside him and opened up her on book. "Shouldn't you be training too?" he asked with out looking at her.
Kagami shook her head. "I made it to the top. Sakura did too," she said just as she finished reading her book and Sakura walked toward them.
"I see, well, I'm going to go take a nap. Make sure no one dies." Kakashi muttered as he hobbled off.
"Talk about cowinkydinks, both girls has the best chakra control," Sakura said smiling.
"There is no such thing as cowinkydinks. There is only the inevitable," Kagami said very seriously.
"No more xxxHolic for you ok?"
"But…the sake…and-and…the…the…THE SAKE!" Kagami yelled suddenly.
Sakura frowned. "Have you been into Kakashi-sensei's sake?"
"No! Wait how do you know about those?"
"Um…you see…I brought him some food…and…" Sakura started to blush.
"You-"
"Yea."
"But Sasuke?"
"Very late."
"Illegal?"
"VERY late and sake don't mix well."
"Ah…I see."
"Let's go back to xxxHolic shall we?" Sakura asked. (Sorry if my editor hurt your brain when she wrote that, she sure did mine.)
"YAY! Watanuki-kun is so cute and clumsy!" Kagami squealed. "I like the one traveling with Syaoran…um…Fai! He's so mysterious and I wonder why he suddenly has that eye patch?"
"Who knows, read Tsubasa or something. Wouldn't it be cool if we had a manga?"
"Yea…think of all fanfics and the key chains and everything!"
"That would be so cool."
"What do you think they'd call it?"
"Kagami the amazing of course."
"Sure." Sakura said laughing "I'd call it Sasuke."
"Naruto!"
"Who would call a manga that?"
"Yea, you're right."
"So now what are you reading Kagami?"
"I just finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." She said holding up the book.
"Oh! I finished that awhile ago. Did you like it?"
"Yea, but I was mad when SPOILER died!"
"Me too! I cried when SPOILER's SPOILER was blown off."
"The worst part was when SPOILER ran out on SPOILER."
"Yea, but I love SPOILER and SPOILER's SPOILER! I'm so happy for them! Sham they died."
"Yea," Kagami said with a sigh. "How do you think the guys are doing?" Getting up they walked over to where the boys were; just when they got there they saw that both boys hadn't made any progress.
"Damnit!" Naruto yelled as he rubbed the many bumps on his head. 'Why can't I go any higher!?' He thought while looking around and noticing that the girls where heading over to them. 'Maybe if I act them for help I can catch up with Sasuke.' He then ran over to Kagami and pulled her into a big hug. "Can you please help me! I need to catch up the Sasuke-teme."
"Well…we were just going to sit here and watch you two struggle, but…I don't see a problem in giving some advice, right Sakura?" Kagami said looking at Sakura.
"Sure, I don't see a problem with that. He just has to pay attention to what we have to say."
"Okay I'll leave Naruto to you and I'll go see if Sasuke wants any help too." Kagami then patted Naruto's head. "You listen to Sakura now, okay." She then unwrapped Naruto's arms from around her and walks over to Sasuke.
"What do you want now Kagami?" Sasuke said when he landed next to her.
"I was just wondering if you'd like some advice that's all."
"I don't need any help." He then started to run up the tree again.
"Fine be that why!" she yelled and turned on her heels and stomped away. "Come on Sakura lets go back to the house."
"So just relax and focus on the tree until you can feel how much or how little energy you'll need in he soles of your feet," Sakura said. She then ran to catch up to Kagami.
REIVEW PLEASE!!!!
