(In story author note)
This is the day, the day Zabuza would have to strike today. This would be the earliest he could be healed, and if he waited another day, the bridge would be too far along. Team Tasatsu discussed what to do and decided they would take Inari and Tsunami with them to the bridge so they could protect all of them.
As they came down to breakfast to inform the three they noted Inari's mood. It had been horrible since they got there and it was annoying, when he said they knew nothing about suffering, Sasuke had gotten his clan killed by his once brother, now the only brother he had was Naruto, Naruto had lived on his own and been beaten and abused. Kakashi had had it bad to but had better control and Sakura had wanted to step in on her family's behalf, but do to their combine connection and Kurama they had controlled themselves. Besides, the best thing for him was to prove there was hero's, then again they were a family of blood suckers, killers, and demons, heroism wasn't exactly their forte.
(For a note, I always felt a lot of authors force the Inari thing, if Naruto is all serious or is a good ninja/AKA killer he shouldn't blow up on a whiny 8 year old or however many years old the brat is.)
As they sat to the still steaming breakfast they discussed their plan with the family. Tsunami was worried but accepted it, Tazuna was excited to have his family see what he does, and Inari was being emo and not caring. At this thought from Kurama Sasuke was upset and had trouble to (visibly) hide it, he found it insulting since he was also called emo and he was nothing like that pathetic brat.
…
Any ways moving on, as they all packed up, Tsunami got lunch for her and Inari, Tazuna put him blueprints into his pocket, and the team got their weapons ready and on hand, Kakashi also loosened his Hitai-ate (forehead protector) in case he had to lose it in a hurry.
As they walked to the bridge, Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto arguing over dango vs. pocky vs. ramen, in that order, and Kakashi making sure they didn't turn this physical like they usually did, normally he was ok with that but not with this fight coming up. He looked up and noted there were storm clouds with some satisfaction.
As they came to the bridge they noticed it was covered in fog, Sasuke couldn't help but sarcastically say "hey guys look, completely normal fog, centered on a metal bridge, and not the cause of some no-brows freak." Sakura couldn't hold in her giggles and Kakashi and Naruto just chuckled. "You'd think he'd be more subtle about it huh?" Asked Naruto.
"FUCK YOU, YOU GAKI'S!" Sakura gasped "The inconspicuous mist talks too!" Kakashi shook his head, although on the inside he was laughing, Kurama was crying he was laughing so hard.
A giant clever/sword, well, cleaved through the air, Naruto, moving faster than most jonin, blocked the sword with the back of his metal gauntlets and threw it back. Zabuza stepped out of the mist, his hunter-nin friend besides him. Kakashi said "I got Zabuza, this time he won't catch me off guard, Sasuke, the hunter is yours, show him who the real hunters are. Naruto I sense a large mass of people, watch them silently unless you need to act, Sakura protect the family." The Tasatsu's obeyed without hesitation.
{Sakura is with the family, she's not being useless, but she's not doing anything spectacular. Naruto is watching Gato, so he'll show up, but not in the fighting.}
{Kakashi vs. Zabuza first.}
As the 2 Jonin faced off Kakashi started off their epic battle with "You know this mist is cold, is there any way to heat it up a bit?" Zabuza would have face faulted if it wasn't for the fact the silver haired Nin had just uncovered his sharingan.
Zabuza responded "You think you're so clever? Me and my apprentice figured out your little trick, a light genjutsu, impossible to detect thanks to the sharingan and I thought you were copying me, you've already copied my jutsu, and you could predict my moves. This mist blocks the first and the third and the second is useless unless you can see me. I've got you beat copy-nin."
Kakashi simply said "If you're so confident, prove it. Thousands have tried yet here I still stand."
Without another word Kakashi heard a whistling behind him, he brought out a kunai and stopped the giant sword cold, Zabuza was shocked, he had momentum and weight advantage, yet he was stopped, Kakashi didn't even move! Kakashi for his part was grateful to Guy; it was because he often sparred that he could withstand that. Along with his resolve to get stronger, well more enduring, he would spar more with the few he considered worth it, Guy and some of the ANBU.
Back to the fight, Kakashi shoved Zabuza away and dashed after him not letting him hide again, when he struck Zabuza blocked and was shoved back several feet 'What power' and when the missing-nin was trying to regain balance Kakashi reverse pick pocketed a crushed blood capsule into the center reverse y on his chest.
He jumped back and sniffed the air. He smirked, he could smell the blood, and his opponent couldn't hide from him now! However for now he would let him tire himself out, to attack now and end it would mean the chidori [One thousand birds] at the least, and for the moment he didn't have enough chakra to waste on that and what he had planned for Gato, once again pointing out the most important thing for him to practice was chakra capacity.
As he waited for the next move he used a technique he created, Nanatsu Idaina bunshin no jutsu [7 great clones] this technique was a combination of 7 other jutsu.
The first clone just fazed in to existence, this was the Bunshin no jutsu [clone technique],an illusion that could create confusion but had no substance. The second one 'poofed' there was Kage Bunshin [Shadow clone] they were solid until struck, and relayed memories to the original. The third one was made out of water on the ground mizu bunshin [water clone] while weaker than the original, it could fight, took more damage, and was invisible under water. The fourth was made from the dirt the tsuchi bunshin [earth clone] while only capable of taking one hit they could hide as long as there was earth and no byakugan [white eye] it could hide from sight, however it had no memory feedback. The fifth was made in the middle of a small tornado the kaze Bunshin [wind clone] made from the wind they were hard to make and hard to kill, they were also stronger and tougher than the mizu bunshin. The sixth was made from a sudden 3 foot tall fire the faia bunshin [fire clone] as strong as a tsuchi bunshin but when killed it burst into flames, burning all around it. The seventh and final one appearing in a flash of light the supaku bunshin [spark clone] as strong as the tsuchi bunshin it dispelled in a paralyzing way, freezing the opponent in place.
While only the faia, supaku, and kaze were good for full battles, kage, tsuchi and mizu more for scouting and the regular one for distraction, together well, Iwa still called him hachi-Ri ga shibō [eight deaths] and they used about half of one chidori due to practice, and the kage bunshin took up most of it.
Now started Kakashi's favorite game, hide and seek, he loved it and was really good at it, plus today he had a really good opponent. This thought would prove Kakashi was a good ninja, why? Because it was so eccentric it had to come from someone of either great power or who had seen some horrible things, or in this case both.
He had the bunshin charge while hiding the tsuchi inside its illusion counterpart, when they reached Zabuza he struck and killed the tsuchi while the bunshin turned and attacked, so surprised Zabuza swung blindly and lost balance, at this point kaze charged and struck the enemy in the left arm, breaking it just above the elbow.
"Gahh!" With that cry of pain he turned and struck at the offending clone, only to have faia jump in front of the strike, bursting into flames Zabuza jumped back and move his arm, however his right leg still got hit pretty badly, crippling the appendage. Now the bunshin, kaze, mizu, kage, and supaku were all surrounding the now crippled missing-nin. Now bunshin and supaku charged, sensing which was which he swung at the supaku, never noticing that the kage hid behind the other.
Hitting supaku, causing it to burst, paralyzing him, kage jumped and stole Kubikiribocho [Decapitating Carving Knife] and jumped back away with it causing Zabuza to roar in anger.
Now mizu and kaze charged and grabbed an arm each. Zabuza tried to struggle but found it useless; kage came from behind and started to choke him. At this Kakashi appeared with Kubikiribocho besides him, he took out a kunai and looked at Zabuza. "Do you know your first mistake no-brows?" Zabuza shook his head, "It wasn't taking this job, it wasn't trying to finish it, and it wasn't your skills. Your first mistake was to think you were even worthy of thinking about fighting me when I'm serious, before sure, but here you die." With no further preamble, he stabbed him through the throat, sideways and pulled, causing death from his throat cut in the stab and pulling made sure he'd bleed out as well.
{Now Sasuke vs. Haku}
As their sensei's faced off in the mist the 2 younger fighters were at its edge, as they were both better out of the mist it was kind of a mutual agreement. Not that with Haku's training and Sasuke's enhanced senses they couldn't have fought in it. Haku glared at her opponent, Sasuke watched her, Haku was angry that this boy was in her master's way, Sasuke was turned on. Sasuke blamed merging with Sakura the cause as she was the horniest of the 3, something Kakashi found funny when 2 of them were teenage boys. He could also hear Kurama laughing at his predicament, now if only he could get her sweet scent out of his head.
Taking a deep breath he decided to talk first "So why is a pretty 15 year old girl like you working for a missing-nin?" "I'm a boy" "And I'm a turkey, I have advanced senses, I can literally smell your hormones, you're a girl." This caused said girl to blush and mutter "Pervert" Her reply was "Aw you're blushing, I can see the increase of heat to your cheeks, it's OK you smell almost as beautiful as you look."
Haku blushed madly, and Sasuke wondered when he started to flirt with anyone, regardless of how hot they were, especially when there the enemy. Kurama was rolling he was laughing so hard, Sasuke was just grateful his siblings weren't paying attention or else he'd never hear the end of it.
Seeing her opponent distracted she tried to rush him at top speed, which resulted in him moving so fast he disappeared from her sight, grabbed her around the waist and held her against his chest. She didn't even know she could blush as much as she was. Sasuke whispered huskily "How 'bout a bet? We fight, I win you come to Konoha and have a date with me, you win I'll help you and your master in whatever you want." She tried to wriggle free, mostly in embarrassment before she realized she was grinding against his rather large … she almost fainted at the thought … and the feeling against her…
She gathered her wits and said "I accept." With that he released her and jumped away.
She turned around and threw half a dozen sebon at him, which he just grabbed out of the air, and did several hand signs before saying "Raiton: arashi no hoshi" [lightning release: storm stars] several dozen quarter sized balls shot out of his mouth and targeted her. She jumped away and one handed used sensatsu suisho [Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death] which did … well it made a thousand needles that tried to kill Sasuke, which he just used kawarimi [substitution] with a supaku clone he had made earlier, he made 2 more and hid them away, just in case he had to repeat that particular trick.
Jumping back into the fight he hit her from behind, going easy so he didn't cripple the girl, Kurama started singing "What is love" and the weird part? He wasn't half bad, this more than anything else threw off the youngest Tasatsu. Trying to focus on the fight and not the oddly talented kitsune Sasuke drew a throwing knife and threw it so it would hit her kunai holder, well sebon holder. She hissed in anger at losing her weapons, and the fact that it was better to be angry then embarrassed.
She decided she needed to go all out and used "Makyo Hyosho" [demonic mirroring ice crystals] and a dome of mirrors made of ice appeared and she appeared in each one and said "This is your end, and I never even got your name." He rolled his eyes and for some reason said "Names Sasuke, it'll be the name you scream in pleasure after our date." … Everything was quite for a moment before 'That was your fault aniki, I don't know how, but it is.' Haku blushed a new shade of red and Kurama literally started to black out from lack of oxygen he was laughing so hard, this was supposed to be impossible, he was pure chakra, he didn't need to breath, but he was laughing that hard.
Shaking himself, promising to figure out why he was acting like this after, he called out "Raiton: shogeki ganseki" [Lightning release: shock rock] and in his hand appeared an electrified ball, about the size of his hand, which looked like a rock. He threw it the mirror he could hear her heart beating from, so surprised, she couldn't dodge in time she fell down unconscious.
He quickly bound her, which got Kurama to send him a bunch of BDSM style thoughts at him, which he responded 'Go back to singing!" which the fox easily did. He hoped his beating her so soundly was enough to get her to keep the bet; after all he was like 99% positive Zabuza was already dead.
He shrugged, resolved to get answers on his behavior and on the new girl he gained a crush on, after they killed Gato.
{Now Naruto appears, and the mist ends showing Gato's "Army"}
As Naruto seemed to just appear, to his right was Sakura, filing her nails with one of their knives? Sasuke was by a bound girl he was taking off her mask blushing, Oh the teasing material. To his left was the idiot who challenged them, his throat slit, Kaka-ossan Standing over him, reading his smut as always.
Naruto said, loudly enough to be heard by his family "Sooooooo, Gato will be here in 10, we gonna have fun? … 3 . 2 . 1 . Showtime"
As if summoned the mist dispersed just enough to see about 300 thugs and a little midget glaring at them. Gato looked very self-satisfied, why none of them knew. He spoke and they all felt like face palming at his stupidity, even Inari "So you're all weakened or dead, those left are 3 kids and their tired master. Yuk-yuk-yuk. Now to the one who brings me there heads gets a bonus, if you can bring me the girls alive, extra." This was met with a lot of jeering from the morons he hired.
The Tasatsu siblings actually face palmed while Kakashi stepped forward and, looking up said "Storms are beautiful, the most beautiful part is the lightning, let me show you how beautiful that is." He raised his hand to the sky and lightning cracked across the sky, Zabuza open his eyes for the final time just in time and just long enough to see the jutsu, Haku woke up and looked at the army then the sky as it crackled.
"Raiton: KIRIN!' [Lightning release Kirin, a mythological dragon type creature]
Out of the sky came a dragon head, the size of Kyuubi's head, made completely of lightning. Its beauty unsurpassed, its power unmatched, the fear and awe it inspired made even the Kyuubi gasp in awe. Everyone in 3 miles saw its light, and then it roared a sound so terrifying the only thing in living memory that could truly compare was 14 years ago when Kurama had roared in anger at being controlled by the traitor Uchiha. The roar was heard across the world; the power felt by any half way decent sensor from Iwa to Kumo, it signaled an end, an end to one generation and the beginning of another and this generation's leader? He stood under his dragon rage clear in his eyes as he stared at the worm called Gato.
Zabuza's eyes closed. Tasatsu had never felt more respect for their ossan then that moment. Every Kage in the world was at their window, knowing something huge had just happened. Akatsuki shivered in fear of this power. The three Sannin all felt dread deep in their respective guts.
Kakashi said in a whisper that carried to all in sight "Disappear scum." And faster than even Madara's eyes could have seen, at 1/1000 of a second it shot down and the thugs, their boss, and a well sized chunk of the road by the bridge, disappeared.
The 4 ninja and the citizens of wave could only stare in awe as Kakashi literally crackled with power, visible chakra running up and down his body, he simply said "Tazuna, I think you should start on the bridge now, Tasatsu bring the little girl and let's go and get something to eat." He slide down hit Hitai-ate and eye smiled before walking away, his students rushing to keep up, the once again unconscious Haku on Sasuke's back.
{about an hour later}
Sasuke was glowing red as his siblings and uncle were laughing at him; they had all had to tell the others what had happened, after they ate. He had just told them how he had told Haku his name. Kurama said "I know what happened." Naruto cut his palm and grabbed Kakashi's arm, allowing him access to their mind scape.
Once inside Kurama waited a moment to let them get their baring's. After they calmed down "OK, as hilarious as his actions were there is a reason. You see as you three changed you all hit puberty and your bodies chose certain things there attracted to. Normally I'd have told you, but I didn't expect you to meet anyone who fit your desires. Mostly this is obvious, strong, probably more of an athletic build, so on. But as you changed so did your senses, one in particular, scent. You each have a scent that will be in the blood of the target you find arousing. For Naruto, a salty scent, found in people that spend time with weapons as they have more minerals and medics as they spend time around the earth and blood. For Sakura a spicy scent, found in demons and animals. For Sasuke, a sweet scent, found in, well sweet people, although they may hide it if there scent to us is sweet, somewhere inside so are they. This girl Haku is a sweet girl and her Kekkei Genkai, ice, makes her smell like sugar. This is something that, as you're attracted to sweetness, you find almost irrespirable. As for the flirting, well I'm a kitsune, pranking and flirting are things I'm very good at, thus you three are to, add in you increased pheromones and that with your senses you can read people like a book, this type of thing comes naturally to you."
The four looked in shock for a moment before Sakura asked "So this'll happen to me to?" "No, your flirty as it is, and when you see what you want you'll go get it, and Naruto will know who he wants, but can still act like himself, just more focused. This will really only affect Sasuke and only around people with a sweet scent." Naruto teased "were not sweet." With puppy dog eyes. "No, you 3 would smell spicy as you're connected to a demon."
Kakashi said "Thanks Kurama-kun, we'll talk to you later, after we get back and settled." And they left while the kitsune went to sleep.
{After about 30 more minutes as Haku wakes up, Sasuke and Sakura are watching her.}
Haku got up slowly, groggy from the fight, and the afterword spectacle. As she got up she noticed the handsome man who had beat her and the red headed girl who had been with him, she felt a flash of jealousy, although why was beyond her, before she heard there conversation.
Sasuke starting "I'm telling you, just because the Sannin are trash, doesn't mean Hiruzen is to, and you need to be nicer to cats Aneki." "But I hate cats; they flick my nose with their tails." "That doesn't mean kill them all." "It's OK otouto I'll teach you the true evil of cats." "No, cats are nice, dogs suck." "You take that back or I'll drain your little girlfriend."
Haku was extremely confused, these 2 were related? And did she mean her? And what did she mean 'drain'? At this point the 2 noticed she had awakened. Sakura ran out saying "I'll get her food, talk to your girlfriend." Sasuke and Haku both turned red.
Sasuke decided to start "I'm sorry about my … disrespect, although I was honest about wanting that date; I wasn't completely in control of myself." Haku nodded, she sensed his honesty "I understand but can I ask what happened to Zabuza-sama?" Sasuke sighed, kneeled down and hugged her, knowing this was the worse part. "Don't ask questions you know the answer to." Haku didn't understand at first then she started to shake, than cried into Sasuke's shirt.
{One day later}
The Tasatsu family and Haku had been learning about each other. She was going with them, determined to fulfill her bet as she had nothing else. The look of happiness on Sasuke's face made it worth it to the girl. She had learned about their blood sucking, she was somewhat disturbed at first, but she was a kunoichi, she got over it and still agreed to the date. However the other three never left them alone (She doesn't know Kurama).
As they left, Inari waving happily as they left, they'd be at Konoha's in a day. They all couldn't wait, in Haku's case if only for her date.
There ya go, took me awhile, but I had finals, sue me. Hope ya'll enjoy, read, follow the story, follow me, and review. Until next time this is Nahte signing off, Have a good day.
