Mirror Into the future
Chapter 12: Land of Waves Part 7
Once the mirrors were up Haku walked over and climbed into one of the mirrors.
Sasuke gasped as he watched in horror as he saw Haku enter the ice then appeared everywhere on each mirror.
"Mirrors... But how?" Sasuke thought.
"It must be some sort of Jutsu." Rin said.
Kakashi growled in frustration as he ran over to his student but Zabuza moved quickly to stand in his way.
"If you enter this fight,you will fight me. Your boy will have no chance in that Jutsu, he is finished." Zabuza says.
"Now we will begin and I will show you what true speed really is." Haku says as he quickly pulled out some throwing needles. Sasuke groaned as needles began to hit him.
"Sasuke." Fugaku and Mikoto yelled for there son.
"Sasuke." Kakashi says as Sasuke was being attacked.
"Sasuke!" Sakura screamed worriedly.
Sasuke curled up into a ball holding his head as screamed when the needles grazed him.
"Just try to help him and I kill the other two in a heartbeat." Zabuza growled glaring daggers at Kakashi.
"You monster." Kushina said glaring daggers at Zabuza.
"I'm sorry,but I can't stay with you forgive me." Sakura says to Tazuna.
"I understand, go now." Tazuna says.
Sakura picked up the disregarded kunai and began to run to help her teammate.
"Go Sakura!" Obito cheered but the adults stayed quiet knowing it mostly not to be affective.
"Sakura." Kakashi says.
"Take this." Sakura yelled throwing the Kunai. Haku's shot out and grabbed the Kunai.
"He it not going to make it to him." Obito said sadly.
"He Caught it." Sakura said surprised as Sasuke fell to the ground. There was a shuriken came running back around and knocked Haku out of one of his ice mirrors.
"Huh?" Sakura said as she watched Haku fall to the floor.
Haku groaned slightly as he sat up. There was an explosion a little ways away.
"Please don't tell me that is Naruto." Rin said as her eyebrow twitched slightly
"Who is it?" Sakura asked.
"What a fool." Sasuke said as looked towards where the dusk was begining to settle. "He is such a show off."
"Number one Hyperactive Knuckle head Ninja." Haku said as he slowly stood on his feet.
"Naruto Uzumaki is here, yeah believe it." Naruto said as he broke out into a grin.
Everyone began to laugh at this.
"Why couldn't he stay his it would have been good plan of attack." Minato said as he looked at Naruto wierdly.
"That is because that is who the kit is." Kurama said with a big grin.
Everyone simply stared at the blond ninja as he appeared. Sasuke groaned as he tried to push himself up.
"He now that I am here, everything will be alright." Naruto said. Tazuna gasped in surprise.
"Naruto." Sakura cheered as she saw her teammate.
"You know how in story a hero shows up at the last minute and kicks butt well that is what I'm going to do right now, Believe it." Naruto said as he pointed his finger at them.
"Yeah that is true about us Heroes." Obito said proudly before he grinned widely. Rin smiled at her teammates and nodded her head.
Zabuza grunted as he looked over at Naruto and glared. "Uhh, this brat again."
"Shut up, Naruto." Sasuke thought as he laid on the floor still.
Kakashi sighed as he looked at his student disappointed. "What an idiot. If only he had stayed hidden it would have been much more affected."
"See even future Kakashi is asking why?" Minato said as he cocked his head to the side.
"Be quite Minato." Fugaku told him causing Minato to pout slightly.
Haku said nothing before he looked over at Naruto. "That boy." Haku said as he began to recall the events in which he encountered him in the forest.
"Alright! Your history Shadow clone Jutsu!" Naruto said.
"Don't do it Gaki!" Tsunade yelled first before my one had the time to react.
Kakashi looked at Naruto surprised. "NO, Naruto move!" Kakashi yelled.
Naruto just stood there like an idiot. Haku threw his throwing needles intercepting thr shuriken Zabuza had thrown making everyone gasp in surprise.
"Why did he protect Naruto?" Jiriya thought as he stared at Haku.
"They did not get him." Sakura said looking relieved.
"Those weapons cancelled each other out that what I call lucky." Tazuna said.
"That was not luck." Mikoto said.
"What are you doing Naruto? Are you crazy?" Sakura yelled at her teammate.
"Yes, he is crazy." Team Minato said in unison.
"This is a battle not a talent show! Never let your opponets see your jutsu!" Kakashi said scowlding his student. Naruto just gapped.
"A Shinobi art is deception, always keep the enemy guessing. Even when executing a single jutsu one must catch their opponent of balance and out maneuver them. You just turned yourself into a human target, when you enter a battle like that." Kakashi said.
"Even in the middle of a mission you still have time to give lectures." Obito said as he loomed over at Kakashi.
"Shut it Obito." Kakashi said glaring at his team mate.
"Ahhh! I'm sorry! I was just trying to rescue everybody." Naruto screamed .
"How can he forget that rule the teachers at the academy preached this every day."Kushina said confused as she looked at her son.
"But there is another mystery here… " Kakashi said staring at Haku.
"Him." Sasuke thought.
"Haku! What are you doing?" Zabuza growled at the young ninja.
"Zabuza, this boy let me fight him my own way." Haku said standing up completely. "Please."
"So he did have an alternative motive for saving Naruto." Jiriya said.
"Why did he save Naruto, Minato-sensei?" Kakashi asked.
"I honestly don't know myself." Minato told his student.
"Bring it on." Naruto said staring at Haku.
"Hpmf, so you want me to leave this to you is that it Haku?" Zabuza asked looking at Haku. "As usual your too soft."
"He is right, Sasuke is barely injures at best his was temporarily paralyzed." Tsunade said as hse stared at Sasuke.
"This kid has remarkable ablities consider how young he is." Fugaku commented.
"Forgive me." Haku said as Sasuke began to sit up.
"Soft… he right look at these wounds he cut me up with those needles yet he did not hit a single vital part. Why?" Sasuke asked himself as he stared at Haku. "Is he just trying to humiliate me?"
"Not everything is about you Sasuke." Obito said.
"I'm warning you," Naruto said pointing at Haku. "One way or another I will rip off that mask and rip you apart."
Haku merely stared at Naruto.
"It is impossible. Naruto can't match this kid. I got to…" Kakashi thought before his thoughts were interrupted by Zabuza.
"Don't even think about it. If you go after Haku, I will go after the bridge builder." Zabuza told him glaring at Kakashi.
Kakashi gasped in surprise before narrowing his eyes at the assassin. "He got me, I can't protect Tazuna and go help Naruto and Sasuke at the same time." He thought to himself as he glanced at Tazuna out of the corner of his eye. "Sakura's feisty but she can't fight Zabuza alone."
"You just made yourself sound like a pedophile Kakashi." Obito said casuing Rin to laugh and Kakashi face to blush red with embarassment
"Relax Kakashi, Sit back and enjoy the show." Zabuza says as he smirked underneath his bandages. "Lets see how they do? One on One."
"That mask, and your bogus story. You were with Zabuza all along." Naruto stated. "You think you will get away with that."
"I'm sorry but what your Sensei said about deceiving your opponent, catching your opponent off guard that is the art of the Shinobi so do not take it personally." Haku told Naruto.
"Man everyone is lecturing Naruto today." Kushina said.
"He should already know these thing what did he do in the academy? Sleep?" Tsunade asked looking over at Kurama.
"Yes, Naruto did in fact Naruto slept and often did not pay attention during class before Iruka took over and became his teacher.
"While your jabbering I will catch you off guard." Sasuke thought picking up a kunai and throwing it at Haku.
Haku moved back as the Kunai came flying at him and Sasuke gasped in surprise as Naruto looked over to see him inside the ice mirror jutsu.
"An opponent will never forget someone they had already began to fight no matter what the conditions are." Mikoto told her son.
"Sasuke?" Naruto said.
"How did you not know that he was there before now?" Rin asked sighing.
"I have not forgotten about you for an instant." Haku said keeping his eyes trailed at Naruto.
Sasuke gritted his teeth.
"So this is where Sasuke is." Naruto thought. "He is pinned down."
"Some warriors accept defeat gracefully they know when they are beaten." Haku said turning to look at Sasuke. "Others do not, so be it lets finish our battle then to the death." Haku walked over and climbed back into the mirror.
"It kinda of creepy how he does that." Rin said as she saw Haku morph into the mirror.
"I agree that does look a little weird." Obito commented.
"Hey where are you going?" Naruto asked.
"It is alright, Naruto we will have our fight next." Haku said.
Naruto eyes widen in surprised as he watched Haku get sucked into the ice, "What is he?"
"Human." Tsunade stated.
"Here he comes." Sasuke thought as he narrowed his eyes staring at the ice Haku stepped into. Sasuke glanced around trying to focus on the reflection. "The real one is over there." Sasuke looked back at the one in front of him. Sasuke reached to pull out a kunai from his pouch.
"I'm right behind you." Haku said as he ready himself to throw the needles.
"How is he moving so fast?" Rin asked.
"That is impossible, he must be jumping from the mirrors somehow." Fugaku thought as for a slight second he saw Haku move between the mirrors.
"He transported himself in an instant. How?" Sasuke thought as he looked back at Haku. Haku began to appear in all the crystal Ice mirrors.
Sasuke groaned as he was showered once more in throwing needles.
Mikoto flinched as her son was being attacked.
"Sasuke!" Naruto screamed as Sasuke screamed in pain.
"What is that? Sasuke is getting all ripped up and I can't even tell where is the attack coming from. How is he doing that?" Naruto asked himself as he stared helplessly at Sasuke.
"What kind of jutsu is this? Could it be that he has clones hiding in the mirrors and all throwing needles at the same time? No their two fast for that, I can't see where they are coming from," Sasuke thought in frustration. "And if it was just a clone jutsu then he would not need the ice mirror. Those mirrors are most definitely the key to his attacks but what is my next move?"
"Is this when he get his sharigan?" Fugaku asked as he looked over at Kurama.
"No this is when he began to develop the stages of acquiring it." Kurama tells him. Obito looked down to the ground but Mikoto rubbed his back and picked his chin up and smiled.
"Sasuke, Naruto, think you need to attack from the outside and the inside at the same time." Kakashi yelled to his students.
"To figure out how the mirrors work." Sakura thought.
"I've got it." Naruto thought to himself.
"Why do I feel like he going to do something idiotic." Kakashi thought.
"Yes it perfect it is all about position. Naruto and I are in the perfect position. If I attack in front of here and Naruto attacks him from the outside, we can do it." Sasuke thought.
"Hey, I snuck in here to save you." Naruto said smiling as Sasuke looked at him surprised. "Pretty cool move. Huh? Sasuke."
"How did he get in there!" Obito said.
"That idiot." Kakashi thought as he groaned as he hit his forehead.
Sasuke growled shaking in anger at his idiot teammate as Sakura looked at him dumfounded.
Kakashi sighed, "Naruto sneak up on your enemy not your ally."
All the adults laughed at this.
"You are a complete loser!" Sasuke yelled as Naruto frowned. "You're a shinbo think carefuly before you move."
"That true." Obito said nodding his head.
"You did that all the time when you first started out as well." Rin told him bluntly.
"What the heck is your problem I only came in here to help you." Naruto yelled back at Sasuke.
"Naruto if we are both inside here… you know what forget it. I had it with your mistakes." Sasuke said.
"And I had it with your attitude." Naruto retorted. "Believe it!"
'This two fight just as much as Jiriya and Orochimaru does.' Tsunade observed.
"Natuto, your building the most solid reputation as the most clueless ninja in history. The more he helps the worst thing get."Kakashi said dejectedly.
Everyone laughed at Kakashi statement.
"That is it I am going to destroy these mirrors right now." Sasuke said as he jumped to his feet. "Fire style" he murmured to himself.
"Hey what jutsu are you using?" Naruto asked.
"The mirrors are made out of Ice how do you destroy Ice? So figure it out." Sasuke said.
"So he going to use fire style jitsu."Obito says.
"I don't think it may work." Minato says.
"Why not sensei?" Rin asked
"It because that kid does not even look slightly worried." Fugaku said staring at Haku.
"Fire ball justsu." Sasuke said as he began to breath fire. Sasuke eyes widen when he realized that the ice did not even melt slightly.
"That did not do anything at all!" Naruto said.
"You will need much more heat than that to melt this ice." Haku told them.
"It must be infused with his chairs somehow." Tsunade said.
Sasuke gritted his teeth as Haku prepared to attack. Light flashed as they were hit with a barrage of needles sending them flying in the air.
"Where is he where are the needles coming from? Where are there clones?" Naruto asked as he stood up. "We have to find the real one which one is it."
"Look into each mirror as hard as you like but you will never learn the secret." Haku informed them.
"There is always a trick to each Jutsu so the key must be in sight." Obito said.
"Wow Obito you are really are learning something." Kakashi said.
Obito face flamed red in embarrassment. "Shut it Kakashi."
"Oh yeah. Shadow clone jutsu." Naruto said."If there is a hundred of your mirrors then a hundred of me will just have to smash them all." Haku moved quickly to attack.
"Sasuke, Naruto, take this guy out you can do it." Sakura yelled to her teammates.
"They sure can." Rin and Obito yelled at the same time causing the adults to smile.
"She should not be pushing him." Kakakshi said.
"Don't Sakura." Kakashi said. "Don't push them."
"Kakashi, how many times do I have to tell you not to repeat yourself."Obito said sternly.
Sakura looked over at her sensei.
"Even if they found some way to overcome the mirror jutsu they still could not defeat this ninja." Kakashi tells her.
"How come?" Rin asked looking over at her sensei.
"Even if they defeat the mirrors Haku, may have eminently more charkra than the both of them." Kushina explained.
"Ohh." Rin said.
"How can you be so sure?" Sakura asked.
Zabuza began to laugh once more.
"They have the desire to win but they don't have the instinct to kill." Kakashi said as Sakura gasped as she realized what was happening. "That boy is on a whole another breed. He lives for pain he thrives on it."
"Kakashi, that is a horrible thing to say." Rin says as she looked over at her teammate.
"Exactly. Your village has become complacent. Your trainees never learn the most important lesson of all, to kill the feelings in their own hearts, to crush an opponent mercilessly and destroy with no remorse and no regret." Zabuza said as his chakra began to flow of him like waves.
"Is that how Village hidden in the Mist treat his villagers
"But then… Sensei, what are we going to do?" Sakura asked. "Please Tell us."
"I could make a break for it and save Naruto and Sasuke but then he would kill the bridge builder. If I use Shadow clones then he would just match them with water clones and I would be wasting Chakra." Kakashi said. "I have no choice it me or Zabuza. We will have to decide this here and now, The hard way." as he began to remove his headband to show his sharigan eye.
"The Sharigan." Sakura thought as she saw what her sensei was doing.
"Sharigan, your no fun Kakashi. Using the same old tricks." Zabuza said before he placed his hand behind him and ran at Kakashi and pulled a kunai out aiming for his eye.
"Sensei No!" Sakura yelled.
"Kakashi." Team Minato yelled.
Blood dripped from Kakashi hand as he the kunai was embedded in his hand. "If it was such a old trick then why did you just stop me." Kakashi asked.
Zabuza laughed before answering, "Letting your opponent see your jutsu so many times and he will find a way to use it against you."
"Then count yourself lucky, you're the only man alive that has seen my sharigan twice, Shows over there won't be a third time." Kakashi stated.
Zabuza let out a chuckle before. "Even if you did defeat me, you would stand no chance against Haku."
'Just how strong is this kid.' Jiriya thought.
Sakura gasped as she looked over at her teammates worriedly. "Is that possible? That boy in the mask is stronger than Kakashi-Sensei?" She thought.
"When I found him he was just a street kid but I trained him in the most advance ninja techniques." Zabuza said as he began to remember when Zabuza began to practice throwing the throwing needles hitting vitals and K.O. spots dead on as he watched from a tree.
"That requires years of training just how long did he have to train to perfect that move." Tsunade asked.
"I taught him everything I know, and plus he had special abilities that he refined on his own. The boy developed quickly. Soon he could face the most powerful enemies outnumbered, in total darkness, it did not matter he could strike with perfect accuracy." Zabuza said. "He cared nothing for his own life or the lives of others. He became a unique fighting Machine, a shinobi. Even in the end his powers even surpassed my mine. His blood line trait his kekigenkai cannot be defeated by anyone. I created its roots and he can destroy anything that stands in his way. Unlike the useless punks that follow you around."
"He acting like a proud father." Mikoto mumbled under her breath as she cradled Itachi.
"I did not get to him." Naruto growled in frustration. "Then I will try it again and as many times as it takes. Shadow clone jutsu." Naruto said as he began to make more clones.
"Naruto," Sasuke yelled. "Don't!"
"That idiot." Kakashi said.
The same result was happening as before and the clones were destroyed. Sasuke began to see the flow of attacks in which he was able to see Haku attacking Naruto.
"How is he doing that?" Naruto asked.
"It was barely there but, I saw it I could see the trail and follow his moves."Sasuke thought.
"One More time. Shadow Clone jutsu." Naruto said. Sasuke ran forward as kicked the water into the air.
"It useless Naruto, stop fighting your wasting your charkra."
"Don't you see that it is useless?" Haku said as he destroyed the clones once more. Sending Naruto and Sasuke flying back.
"I can see his speed, but it does not mean I can match it." Sasuke thought. "The water it was being repelled but if I try something else not water but… Yes, now it is my move."
"His Sharigan." Obito mumbled.
"If you think those genin punks together can beat Haku , he is the ultimate a battle tool of destruction." Zabuza said.
"Are you finished bragging?" Kakashi asked. "Your starting to put me to sleep. Let's finish this, now." Kakashi removed his head band from his eye.
Kakashi gaze lingered over to Obito before looking away.
"But there is just one more thing you should know, the bragging as you say was did you really think or last battle would be win or lose that I took your attacks like some low rank genin."Zabuza said as they remember there last battle. "Haku was there watching your every movement studying your Sharigan. Haku can see a jutsu, once and devise a lethal counter attack it is one of his gifts."
Sakura gasped.
"Is that even possible?" Rin asked looking over at the older Uchihas.
"Yes in fact it is very possible for one to notice a kekegenkai and find away to overcome it but there no direct way to do it even if it was successful then they would have to prepare for anything." Mikoto says.
"But even for a elite ninja kekigenkai always have an advantage." Fugaku tells them.
"I have been waiting to see the look on your face when you realize your sharigan has become worthless." Zabuza told Kakshashi.
Tazuna gasped.
"You once said that the same jutsu won't work on me twice now I am telling you that." Zabuza said. "Ninja art: hidden mist jutsu." The mist began to grow thicker and thicker.
"The mist is so thick there is zero visibility." Tazuna says.
"Why would he do that it means he won't be able to see anything either." Kakashi says confused.
"Not really." Kushina says. "All hidden mist ninja are accustomed to this level visibility.
"How is that possible." Rin asked.
"By honing on the other senses." Tsunade tells the curious students
"Sensei?" Sakura called.
"Sakura, stay with Tazuna." Kakashi told her.
"I have to be strong and believe in Sasuke, Naruto and Kakashi-sensei. I also have my job to do no matter what it takes." Sakura thought as she headed towards Tazuna.
"Your going to be a fine ninja one day Sakura." Tsunade says.
"Oh Sakura." Tazuna said as she stood in front of him.
"Follow my lead mister Tazuna, whatever happens stay close." Sakura said.
"Alright, I will stay right behind you." Tazuna said.
"I know you need me Zabuza, I will finish them off quickly." Haku thought as he thoughts were interpreted as Naruto ran at him then proceed to make shadow clones.
"He just won't give up." Haku thought as he ready to attack as Sasuke prepare his fire ball jutsu.
"Of course they won't they are ninja from the hidden in the leaves." Mikoto says proudly as she watch Itachi run around near them.
Haku was caught off guard as the fire ball was heading his way.
"The fire ball jutsu?" Haku said as he moved out of the way. "It should not be taking this long to defeat them." Haku destroyed the clones asS asuke let out another fire ball jutsu and this time he burned part of his pants.
"Hmpf I got him that time." Sasuke thought. "I am starting to get the timing."
"That it you can do it Sasuke." Obito cheered.
"It is the hidden mist jutsu, this mist is to thick even for Zabuza how can he fight in it?" Kakashi thought as Shuriken came flying at him and Kakashi blocked them with a Kunai.
"Very skillfull, as expected from Kakashi the Sharigan warrior." Zabuza said from behind him.
"His eyes are closed?" Kakashi said as he looked at Zabuza.
"Why are his eyes closed?" Kakashi asked confused.
"But the next time you see me. Will be the last time you see anything, without your sharigan your nothing." Zabuza said as he faded into the mist.
"What!" Kakashi said.
"I think we are about to get a lecture." Obito sighs.
"You wanted me to believe you can see through anything even through time." Zabuza said. "but your prediction was wrong because I'm still alive, so you're a fraud Kakashi. You can't read the future and you can't read me. The sharigan is just some cheap trick that makes you seem more powerful than you actually are. I know now has two separate elements the piercing eye that sees every detail and the hypotonic eye which mesmerize your opponent by applying these abilities by using these techniques you can use multiple jutsu to make it seem like you can see the future."
"Using your piercing eye you copied my movements instantly this replication of movement. It makes me doubt my own thoughts." Zabuza said. "Once I was shaken you infiltrated my mind and you were listening my heart fluttered at every action so you could anticipate my next moves."
"Wow that was like a lesson from the academy." Rin says as she listened to Zabuza explain everything.
"You timed it percisly for the right movement, the instant my mind unfocused you created a new allusion with your hypnotic eye. You induced me to make hand signs while you were making the same ones so it seemed you would be copying me when actually your controlling my mind and my movements."
"Is that truly how our Sharigan works?" Obito asked Fugaku.
"Yes it is." Fugaku answers."Don't you know this already?"
"No I did not know." Obito answers. Mikoto stared at Obito why did not he know his on kekigenkai abilities.
"Any enemy you can't see or hear." Kakashi started before growling in fustrartion. "It been a while since I faced anyone this tough and Sasuke and Naruto I don't know if they can hold out."
Before he took a deep breath "Stay Calm. Think. Where will he strike?"
"The bridge builder." Team Minato says.
That is when he quickly turned around. "The bridge Builder!"
"Kakashi, I think your still tired for your last battle your reaction time is off." Minato analyzed.
Sakura and Tazuna stayed close to each other. Before Zabuza fazed in behind them ready to pounce. Zabuza ran forward as Tazuna and Sakura turned around too see him but Kakashi was quick to move forward to take the blow.
"Too late." Zabuza said swinging his sword down coming in for the kill. Sakura let out a high pitch scream.
"Kakashi!" Obito and Rin yelled as the adults gasped.
'That scream? That is Sakura, what is happening?' Sasuke asked as he was crouching on the ground. 'Where is Kakashi?'
Naruto grunted "Sakura, she is in trouble."
Sasuke gritted his teeth, 'We got to break through.'
Naruto sat up and said, "I will bust us out of here,"
"Yeah don't give up keep going." Rin said with determination
'Naruto.' Sasuke thought as he looked at his teammate surprised.
"I will fake him out." Naruto said as he stood up completely.
"You have exhausted my patience." Haku said.
"You act like this fight was not fun you would have ended it already if you truly wanted it to end." Fugaku says.
Naruto concentrated some of his chakra to his feet to give him and extra speed boost as he ran toward one of the exit before doing an back flip and began to run in opposite direction with Haku following after him.
"Naruto behind you!" Sasuke yelled, Naruto turned to see Haku about to attack but he was to late. "Naruto!" He yelled as his teammate got hit.
"Naruto!" Kushina yelled for her son.
"Your chances of escaping my house of mirrors is zero." Haku says. "That is absolute."
Sasuke ran to his teammate side. "Naruto, are you able to get up?"
Naruto grunted as struggle to sit up.
"Try not to use anymore of your chakra that is only going to help him now." Sasuke told him.
"Yeah and it obvious that your running out of Chakra." Kakashi says.
"I know Sasuke, I know." Naruto said weakly.
'We can't go on like this.' Sasuke thought, 'He is blocking every move we make. I got to find a way to out maneuver him.'
"My eyes have adjusted to his movements," Sasuke said to himself.
"He is gaining his sharigan quickly usually it takes weeks." Fugaku said.
"Looking for a counter attack?" Haku asked. "I will save you the trouble."
Sasuke bended down to grab one of the disregarded needles and proceed to block all the needles coming his way.
"What!" Haku said.
"Hah your not so invisible now are you." Obito yelled.
"Get up loser! We got get up." Sasuke yelled at Naruto.
"What I aimed at his vital spots now but I can't get a direct hit." Haku said.
Naruto rolled over, "I know what we have to do, Believe it Sasuke." Naruto said.
"Then get up then." Kakashi says.
Sasuke moved to protect them both as Haku began to throw multiple needles at them.
"It not just luck he is fighting to protect him and his friend. Why is he so determined? He can't possible see when the needles are coming." Haku thought.
Sasuke grunted as a needle pedicured him in the leg.
"My movements are beyond human speed and yet he is tracking my movements, somehow." Haku thought. "Whatever he doing I have to put a stop to it, now."
"Your loosing to much chakra, even for a kid he has a limit." Minato says.
"He disappeared. Where did he go? How did he just vanish?" Sasuke asked as he glanced around."Naruto, you better not pass out on lets go I can't keep protecting you, like this."
"Well then don't, I never asked for your help." Naruto said before passing out once more. Sasuke turned to see that his teammate fainted once more.
"You can't revive him, he has reached his limits." Haku said. Sasuke grunted before looking up at Haku who laughed slightly. Sasuke threw the needle at him but Haku blocked it.
"Naruto..." Kushina said worriedly but Mikoto put a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"You have excellent moves, your attacks are very skillful," Haku said throwing more needles but Sasuke dodged them "but you have reached limits as well. Motor functions, reflexes, Judgement, your abilities are weakening slowly but surely." Sasuke followed his movements with his eyes. "Now your finished."
"Here he comes." Sasuke thought as Haku disappeared. "Stay calm, focus, concentrate, see everything." Sasuke said as he felt Haku moved to attack he crouched down and picked up Naruto and moved to dodge the attack.
"Focus Sasuke, feel his movements with your eyes predict his every movement.
"He saw every move, but there is no way he could do that." Haku said.
Sasuke panted before he set Naruto to look up at Haku to show his Sharigan.
"Impossible those eyes, the Sharigan." Haku thought as he looked at Sasuke suprised."Your..."
"A Uchiha of course he is." Obito stated proudly.
"It not complete, but I could see through his deceptions." Sasuke thought.
"So he to has a kekigenkai," Haku thinks "the power of a unique bloodline trait passed down in a clan, interesting to come to inheritance in the middle of a vital attack is amazing because of that I won't be able to fight much longer. My jutsu uses an immense amount of chakra and with his swift movements and the longer we fight the more he will use the sharigan. To precede my moves. Even now his eyes are tracking my every movement. I can't target him directly he will just block a frontal attack. So I will have to throw him off gaurd." Haku turning to Naruto. "By Attacking his partner then draw him out."
"He after Naruto." Obito yelled at Sasuke.
"What!" Sasuke said in suprised as he watch Haku fly over to Naruto. "I have got to stop him."
Kakashi grunted as he held his side that was bleeding heavily.
"Kakashi-senseii." Sakura said worriedly.
"Kakashi." Minato looked at his future student worriedly.
"You were late Kakashi, you let your concern for those little punks cloud your mind adding further to the fallen that already hinders your sharigan." Zabuza says. "Your eyes are sharp Kakashi, but not sharp enough to read my moves. Not anymore."
Zabuza laughed, "Come on Kakashi, I want this to be fun. I want to enjoy myself as I get my revenge. As for those brats, don't worry there at Haku's mercy. No they are breathing there last breathe right now."
"No they aren't you Mummy! They will defeat you and that ice kid." Obito retorted.
Kakashi said nothing, as Zabuza reached behind his back. "Relax, you will have plenty of time to worry about them brats in the next life." Zabuza said before Zabuza began to laugh and began to fade into the mist.
"He said Sasuke would die." Sakura said as she shook her head of any doubts. "No, I won't believe that I have faith in him."
'That is it Sakura, don't give up.' Tsunade thinks.
'Sasuke will beat them to a pulp, Cha!' Inner Sakura said.
"and that masked kid." Sakura said.
'He will wish he was never born.' Inner Sakura said.
Obito and Rin laughed at this Sakura had full faith in Sasuke abilities while Mikoto was not so sure about her son safety.
"We can't loose Sasuke."Sakura said.
'Anyone who tries to take him from me will pay for it.' Inner Sakura says.
"And Naruto either." Sakura said.
"Yeah can't give up on that hyperactive knucklehead ninja." Jiriya says.
"Exactly." Kakashi says. Sakura gasped before looking over at her Sensei.
"I-I believe in there abilities and have faith in them." Kakashi said. "Naruto the number one hyperactive knucklehead ninja and Sasuke heir to the most powerful clan in the hidden leaf village."
Zabuza eyes widen, "Huh so you mean?"
"Wow our Clan is still famous after most of us have died." Obito saya
"Yes, his full name is Sasuke Uchiha. The unique powers of the Uchiha Bloodline run through his veins. A Kekigenkai is his birth right." Kakashi said.
Zabuza gasped, "I heard that a young ninja survived the tragedy of the Uchiha clan." As he began to remember when Sasuke kicked Haku over to him at the beginning of the battle. "No wonder he advances so quickly but so does Haku." Zabuza said as he ready himself to attack. "None can match him."
"Even Sasuke, is famous." Rin says.
Kakashi also took a stance ready to defend his students.
"None has ever stopped his secret jutsu, even the most skilled Jounin fall before him." Zabuza said before fading into the fog. "Just as you will fall before me, right now."
"Sakura! Stay with Tazuna." Kakashi order.
"Okay, Got it." Sakura says.
Kakashi ran fowards into the mist as Sakura stood to protect Tazuna. "He is right it is time to end this." Kakashi thought,"But he will be the one who will fall."
"You can do it Kakashi!" Rin and Obito cheered for there teammate. As Kakashi cheered inwardly.
Naruto grunted as he woke up to see Haku on the ground and Sasuke above him.
"You always, get in the way Naruto. It never fails."Sasuke said.
"Sasuke..." Mikoto says as she eyed her son worriedly.
"You beat him, Sasuke." Naruto says as he got up before he realized the extent of Sasuke injures.
Mikoto gasped and reached to touch Sasuke but Fugaku pulled her close.
Sasuke grunted before he looked back at Naruto. "You should see the look on your face, You-you look like a total loser."
Naruto sat up completely. "Wh-why did you?...Save me?" Naruto asked compeletly shocked. "Why did you do it?"
"Your teammates Naruto, and you would do anything for them." Obito says as he smiled back at his own team.
"I don't know why. I just did." Sasuke said as he felt himself falling faint. As he began to remember all the encounters he had with Naruto. He smiled as his head dropped slightly. "You, I hated you."
"Then why did you? It doesn't make any sense." Naruto said standing up. "Why did you protect me?" Naruto clenched his fist before yelling, "I did not ask for this! I did not ask for you to save me."
"He does not have to have a reason to save you gaki." Tsunade says as she folds her arms.
"I don't know. My body just moved there was no time to think." Sasuke said before he fell backwards and Naruto rushed to catch him.
"Sasuke!" Naruto yelled.
"He is still out there." Sasuke started. "My brother, I promised myself that I'd stay alive until I killed him. Naruto don't let your dream die." Sasuke said before passing out completely.
"Sasuke!"Mikoto cried as she saw her son lose conscious. Fugaku bit his lip as he had to remain strong as Itachi began to cry sensing his parents distress.
Naruto stared before tears began to stream from his eye. Haku stood up a looked over at Sasuke.
"He found the strength that he did not know he had."Haku thought as he remeber moments ago when he went to attack Naruto how he ran forward blocking His First attack before the second came at him as well as Haku but Sasuke spun around tossing him away like a rag doll. "Why because a certain person was precious to him. To save that person he rushed in and knowing it was a trap. He was a true ninja, worthy of honor."
"Is this the first time you seen a friend die in battle? This is part of what it means to be a ninja." Haku said before he went back into the mirror.
"That is a horrible thing to say when some one has just died." Rin says.
"Shut up." Naruto said as he carefully laid Sasuke down. "I... I hated you to Sasuke and yet." Smoke began to move around them. "You will pay for this."
"What is going on?" Kakashi asked all the adults eyes widen.
Haku leaned forward as he watched Naruto. As surge of Red chakra began to swirl around Naruto. Cracking and destroying the bridge around him.
"I'm going to kill you." Naruto said as he was crouched down low like a fox, his eyes were blood red as he glared at Haku.
"No Naruto, don't give in fight it." Kushina said noticing the appearance of the nine tails chakra.
Team Minato felt a shiver go down there spine as they saw the fox appear.
"What is this Chakra?" Haku said. "Chakra can't be seen. Yet it is clearly visible. It is something ghastly, I can feel the wrath, bloodlust like evil itself." Above him Haku saw an image of a fox above Naruto. The needles that had punctured Naruto before came flying out and the wounds began to heal.
"His hand is healing?!" Haku said in surprised. "There changing. This boy what is he?" Naruto turned to glare at Haku which caused him to flinch.
"Why did the seal weaken all of a sudden though?" Jiriya asked none in particular.
"It tied with the carriers emotions that is why if you get emotional you can destroy an entire village." Kushina tells Jiriya.
Both Jounin looked over at the fight where Naruto and Haku were. "Is Zabuza creating this?' That when he felt a surge of chakra."It not. I know this chakra, there is no way!"
"What is this energy?" Zabuza asked. "Something foul. Kakashi, no it is to powerful even for him so where is it coming from?"
"Naruto!" Kakashi said as he looked over at the ice mirrors in the distance showed by mist. As he remember the attack of the nine tails fox. "This puts everyone in danger. Now of all times, the seal has broken. I have to stop it."
"Hurry Kakashi." Rin pleaded as she looked at Narutp worriedly.
The chakra began to grow bigger and bigger as it began to to swell in the contain area. Naruto began to grunt loudly they slowly began to resemble a growl of an animal. Haku took out his needles ready to attack. As Naruto began to run towards him.
"The seal is weaking." Jiriya said. "I don't think it has broken."
"This bloodlust in his is no longer a child." Haku said as he threw needles at Naruto but his chakra knocked him out of the way. Naruto ran towards him but Haku dissappeared to another mirror.
Kushina eyes widen in horror as she saw the pure hatred and blood lust that was running trough his veins the desire to kill Haku to get back at him form killing his friend.
"His Chakra is growing stronger with every second, I must strike now." Haku says as he ready himself to attack. Naruto did not have time to dodge as the needles hit him directly, but he easily blasted it away. Haku had no chance as Naruto came running at him smashing the mirror he was in shattering into pieces as he waited to attack.
Kakashi eyes widen as he saw the blast shatter through the ice mirrors like it was nothing.
"That is just a sample of the nine tails chakra." Kurama says as everyone looked at him suprised.
'Only a small portion what happens if it was all released." Rin thought worriedly.
Haku jumped out to attack but Naruto evaded the attack. "Impossible." Haku said as he tried to get back in another mirror but Naruto had a firm grasp on his hand. "Those eyes." Haku said. Naruto flared his chakra.
"Could it be? The Seal has be broken?"
"There is no way that the seal had been broken, it would take alot more than that." Kushina said as she touched her own seal.
"No it has been loosened and a glimmer of the nine tailed fox has slipped through but the seal still holds." Kakashi thought. as he pulled out a scroll, "We might have a chance." He slit his finger and brought his blood across the scroll.
"Zabuza, I'm sorry about your fun and how you like to draw these things out but," Kakashi started as he began to swirl the scroll in designated areas. "how about we put an end to this now?" before he threw it up in the air and rolled it back up. "So what do you say? Were both busy people."
"Hmpfh tempting but I'm curious to see how you back up such brave words." Zabuza said."Show me Kakashi."
"What do you plan on doing Kakashi?" Rin asked looking over at Kakashi.
"It a summoning scroll, so he must be summoning something." Obito told Rin.
"How do you know that?" Kakashi asked looking over at his teammate.
"The scroll." Obito told him.
Naruto gripped hard onto Haku's arm as the nine tails fox charka flared. "I can't break free, his energy is too strong." Haku thought.
Naruto growled as he clenched his fist and swung Haku in the face sending him flying through the ice mirrors and rolling onto the ground. Haku's mask began to shatter along with the ice mirrors. Haku slowly stood up as Naruto ran at him.
"Zabuza, I am no match for this boy. Master." Haku thought as he stood there as Naruto closed in on him. "I have failed."
"He just going to give up just like that." Rin yelled, "After all that fighting."
"He came t realization that he won't win and accepted it." Mikoto told Rin with a sad smile.
Naruto stopped inched before he made it to hit Haku. Naruto was panting heavily as he glared at Haku. "So that guy in the woods that was you?" Naruto asked but he already knew the answer.
"Why did you not strike?" Haku asked as Naruto gasped in surprise. "Did you not vow to get your comrade revenge by killing me or was that vow empty words."
'He has already given up.' Kushina thinks sadly looking at Haku.
Naruto groaned as he looked back at Sasuke before hitting Haku sending him to the ground. Haku groaned as he sat up.
"No, that won't do your still holding back." Haku said as he sat up. "If that is all the strength you can put into it then you will never keep your vow. Prehaps he did not mean as much to you as you pretend."
"How dare he say that!" Mikoto said as her eyes widen in surprise.
"That was certainly not called for." Rin said agreeing,
Naruto began to think of when Haku said he would do anything to protect Zabuza.
"To show mercy, to allow the enemy to live when you can strike him down this is not compassion it is a betrayal of life's very purpose for what reason do you exist then? The answer is known to none. Your life has no meaning, it is mere existence, Day after day. Pain and struggle signifying nothing." Haku said.
"Well speak for yourself." Nauro told him.
"Naruto you can't give someone pity in the middle of a fight when they already know there where about to die." Kushina says.
"Are you that blind little one I am speaking of myself. This day proves I am no more use to Zabuza." Haku said as he began to smile.
"How can he just say that he is a human being with feeling like you and I how can he think of himself as just a tool." Obito yelled.
"Obito calm down, Haku believes that he is a tool but it much more than that." Minato told him.
"Zabuza... Why that guy, anyway? To devote your life to scum like him who does not even know the meaning of the word honor?!" Naruto said "If that is the person who matters to you, then man that is the sorriest thing I have ever heard"
"Not everything is easy to explain with simple words or even logic." Jiriya says.
"What is that supposed to mean Jiriya-sama?" Rin questions.
" You will understand when your older." Jiriya answers.
