Avenger's Log, 4/30/1932

Long day. Many events. Finally unlocked sharingan! No, must keep proper order. Log should be written chronologically, easier to keep track of.

Day began guarding bridge. First indication something wrong was mist, then bodies of workers. Prepared for battle. Client asked us to run, claimed he only wanted us to see his country, should not get ourselves killed. Ignored client, do not abandon mission, do not betray others. Besides, wanted decent fight.

Initial fight went well, destroyed Water Clones. Then engaged fake hunter nin, Sakura guarded client. Hoped Kakashi would not fall for trap again. Hunter nin fast, very fast, luckily was faster. Managed to engage. Unfortunately, hunter nin able to do one handed seals. Was hit by ice needles. Was not distracted by the realization hunter ninja was female, nor proximity to her breasts.

Hunter ninja conjured "Maze of Mirrors" technique. Was not maze, was circle. Why is it called maze? Name ridiculous. Was peppered with needles, did not look good. Stopped when a massive whistle blast thundered across bridge. Realized it was Kakashi, getting all fighters attention.

Kakashi claimed he had just been fighting to provide show. Claimed he had ultimate weapon. Unbeatable technique, was going to end fight. More talkative that he had ever been with team. Zabuza impatient, ordered him to get on with it. Privately agreed, did not say out loud, must not show division in front of the enemy. Kakashi pulled out cash.

Was hard not to open jaw. Kakashi offered to double Gato's fee, and allow Zabuza amnesty in Wave and found a hidden village. Was shocked. Zabuza disbelieving, client angry, said murder shouldn't found village. Sakura shut him up, very grateful. Zabuza suspicious, Kakashi convincing, Zabuza considering.

Interrupted by Naruto, charging in and trying to pounce on Zabuza from air to "save" Kakashi. Made numerous clones in midair. Zabuza sliced all clones, let Naruto sail past him and hit him with flat of blade from behind. Tried not to laugh, did not succeed.

Zabuza continued to consider offer, but new events change perspective. Loud canon noise, few seconds later shell nearly hit bridge. Zabuza dispelled mist to get a better look. Large ship carrying Gato's flag. Fire another shell, straight at us. All retreated off bridge. Sakura taking client straight into blast radius of next shell. Was annoyed, why was she being stupid? Began to run towards her. Found self moving very slow, not enough time. Was forced to tackle Sakura and client off bridge before blast hit.

Later realized it was Sharingan. Eye predicted where shell would hit, Sakura lacked it and did not know it would hit. Lack of bloodline, not incompetence.

Walked back to shore. Ship continued to close distance. Kakashi ordered us to pretend to have killed each other. Created Henge of self with needles through neck. Sakura's death very realistic, good medical knowledge. Naruto used shadow clones to transform into different body part, appeared to be blow apart by shells. Show off (Note to self, copy clone technique, find out if clone keep Sharingan).

Tazuna unable to transform, asks about self. Kakashi points out he didn't expect to survive this originally. Gato arrives on shore in row boat from main ship, sees Tazuna, begins ranting as mercenaries follow him. Ranting very overblow, must remember not to do that. Explains how he hope ninja kill each other, would not have to pay. Calls client Hashi, wants to personally kill him. As expected.

Wait for perfect ambush moment. As Gato passes by Zabuza, he stops to kick him. Zabuza good at playing dead. Hunter nin not so good, launches attack, rest follow suit. Attack very effective, enemy unable to use guns effectively at close range, often hit own men. Gato sliced in half with Zabuza's sword. Naruto's clone wreak havoc. Kakashi sliced though many with electricity, did not know electricity could cut. Wish had seen seals. Self contributed greatly to fight as well, using fire based shots on me with heavier weapons. Gunpowder exploded satisfyingly.

Battle won handily. Unfortunately main ship arrive on shore with many more enemies. Too many. Did not have ambush. This time, guns to dangerous. Forced behind bridge poles as shooting begins. Luckily most bad shots. Zabuza creates sea dragon, smashes main force, we charge afterward. Charge going well, all of a sudden focus on single high caliber bullet. Bullet is headed toward Zabuza. Not possible to stop, eyes can see it, but body not fast enough, try to should warning.

Just before bullet hit, Hunter nin appear in front of Zabuza, taking bullet. Face got sprayed with blood.
