A/N: Hello everybody. Please, enjoy the chapter!

"You lied to us." Naruto stated.

"I'm sorry!" Tazuna exclaimed. "I told you why I did it though! Wave country is too poor to pay for an A rank mission. The most we could pay for was a low C ranked escort mission. If you guys leave me, I'll surely die. My daughter and grandson would hate konoha, which would cause them to try and burn it to the ground in anger with the rest of the land. You don't want that, do you?"

"I'm sorry," Kakashi started "but it is in the mission contract that the contract may be terminated if deemed unable to be fulfilled. The only things we can do is escort you back, or leave you here. Your choi-"

"I say we do it." said Naruto. "This guy ,Gato was it, is despicable. He's running people into poverty just to line his wallet. He deserves to be stopped. If the Bridge is built not only will it save the land, it will also let them pay us later."

"Naruto, I know you want to help. But this is simply to much-"

"I agree with the looser!" stated Sauske. "This is the perfect way to test our 'teamwork' as you called it.

Let's put this to a vote. All in favor of continuing the mission raise your hand."

Instantly three hands went up. Naruto's, Sauske's, and Tazuna's.

Then, as not not to disappoint her crush/idol, Sakura slowly raised her hand.

"Alright, fine" Kakashi said in defeat. "but realize this though. The enemy will probably send people who are higher ranked then the Demon Brothers. They will probably send a jonin next."

"Then let the hunt begin." Naruto said with a feral smirk that made everyone shiver.

The team had now been traveling for two days without a problem since the Demon Brothers.
They were passing a large lake when Naruto shouted "Get down!" while tackling Tazuna and Sakura while Kakashi did the same to Sauske.

Once all of them had hit the ground a large sword swung through the air where Tazuna would have been if they had kept moving. Once the sword slammed into a tree a man in grey camouflaged pants, no shirt, and combat bandages appeared on the hilt of the massive sword.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the famous copy ninja, Kakashi. I doubt they would send Tazuna with more than chunin if a jonin is with them, so this must be your genin team. Am I wrong? Could I ask you their names?"

"Zabuza Momochi." Naruto growled out.

"No, that's my name. I said what's yours."

"The girl is Pinkie, the boy is Emo, and my name is Kit." Zabuza's eyes opened wide when Naruto said the last name.

"So, this is more than a genin team. I'm surprised Tazuna could afford this."

"Damn right it's not a genin team!" Sauske getting out of shock to boast. "It has the last Uchiha on the team!"
Naruto and Kakashi face palmed while Zabuza gave Sauske a 'Your kidding me, right?' look.

"So, what're your real names kiddies?" Zabuza asked seriously.

"I'm sorry, but mommy role me to never give my name to strangers." was Naruto's smart remark.

"Too bad, I like to know the names of the people I kill."

"So do I. So maybe you could tell me your friends name who is hiding in the bushes behind us."

"Shit! I don't want to face the legendary Copy Ninja and Kit without an ace up my sleeve. I need to retreat." Zabuza thought. "C'mon, we're leaving." there was a slight rustling in the bushes while Zabuza gave his order.

Once Zabuza and his 'friend' was gone Naruto said "c'mon, lets get out of here before they have a half decent plan and put it to action. Tazuna, how far away is your house?"

"It'll be another two hours of walking, but we're close."

"Good," This time it was Kakashi speaking "we'll gather our wits and form a defensive strategy there. Oh, Sakura and Sauske, you can stop shaking now." with Kakashi's words the shaking stopped. "Trustme, as long as I'm alive, I won't let my comrades die."

"Me neither!" Naruto added.

This was strangely ore comforting than Kakashi's statement. One can only wonder why.

Seeing the shaking stop Kakashi said "C'mon, let's go. We need to hurry along."

Everyone nodded and then continued to Tazuna's house at a bit quicker of a pace.
