Naruko ran down the stairs to see Tsunami and Inari were the only ones left in the house. "Ahhh where is everyone?!" she yelled.
Tsunami chuckled at the girl disheveled appearance. "Naruko-Chan sensei told me to tell you to take the day off. He wants you to recuperate. Would you like some breakfast?" the mother asked giggling again as she watched the young girl rush back up the stairs.
Inari sat quietly next his mother listening to Naruko stomp and stumble around her room getting ready along with her muffled curses. He watched his mother fix Naruko a sandwich before the hyper blond was coming down the stairs tying her hair up in her usual pigtail style.
"Oh Nii-Chan is so going to get his butt kicked for this" Naruko growled finishing tying up her hair as she went to the door to get her shoes on.
"Naruko-Chan here take this sandwich to eat. You're a growing girl that needs to eat" Tsunami said handing the young blond the sandwich she made. "Even ninja need to eat right?"
Naruko smiled at the kind woman giving her a bright smile. "Thank you Tsunami-san. See you later, I'm going to kick some major bad guy butts" she yelled charging out the door eating her sandwich.
Tsunami giggled as she watched the small blond take off. "She's so full of energy" she mused as she walked back into the kitchen missing the analyzing gaze of her son.
Naruko ran down the pier eating her breakfast before leaping into the nearest tree. "Gotta make up the distance, so the fastest way would be to cut through the forest instead. When I catch up to them I'm so going to rip into them for not waking me up!" she ranted as she jumped to the next tree.
As Naruko continued to move through the forest her more sensitive ears captured the sound of something rustling near her. "Hmmm wondered what that's about?"

Kakashi and his group reached the bridge, but the sight that greeted them was not a pleasant one. Laying on the ground before the small group were Tazuna's workers all beaten and bloody.
"No! Wha... What's happened here?!" Tazuna cried running over to one of his men cradling his head. "What happened to you all?!"
The beaten man groaned as he looked up a Tazuna. "A monster attacked us" he stuttered out before he passed out.
Kakashi put himself on his guard as he scanned the area training broadcasting his senses everywhere. "Guess, my hindsight is greater than I imagined..." he thought just as mist started to cover the surrounding area.
"Sasuke! Hinata! The enemies coming protect Tazuna!" Kakashi ordered as his team formed a three man circle around Tazuna holding Kunai out in front of them.
Hinata gulped as the mist blocked out all vision. Taking a deep breath the young Hyuga acted by performing the necessary hand seals to activate her Byakugan. With her kekkei genkai activated the young heiress was about to scope out the area.
"Sensei ...it's him... this is Zabuza-san's Kirigakure no Jutsu" she reports making Sasuke and Kakashi tense up.
"So you're alive after all Zabuza and by the looks of it you're ready to settle the score" Kakashi mused as he ready himself for a fight.
Sasuke who stood on the other side of his teammates began to shake as he stared at the ground.
"Looks like we meet again Kakashi, time for us to settle our fight and look you even brought the brats with you. Shame on you Kakashi bringing these kids here to die. The poor boy is shaking in his shoes" taunted Zabuza.
Sasuke's shaking didn't stop, but when he lifted his head he showed the excited smile on his face as he stared down a Zabuza clone. "I'm not shaking because I'm scared... I'm trembling from excitement."
"Ohhhh have you gained some confidence since our last meeting boy? Let's put it to the test shall we!" Zabuza roared ready to strike Sasuke down.
Kakashi smirked under his mask. "Sasuke show Zabuza the fruits of your training" the silver haired Jounin encouraged as he watched his young student dispatch all five of the Zabuza water clones.
Sasuke soon returned to his original spot glaring at the real Zabuza and his accomplice. "You will not fool me again...I will stop you from hurting my comrades."
"Impressive. Looks like you're brat did grow up. Haku I think you might have a little fun with this one. I see you left behind the little blond one" Zabuza mused making Kakashi glare harder while Haku flinched a bit.
"I'm sure I will" Haku mused giving a small thanks for Naruko not being here. "Maybe if we dispatch them quickly I could convince Zabuza to spare her."
"Sorry Zabuza, but Naruko is resting so she doesn't have to get her hands dirty, but I'm sure Sasuke and I can entertain you two just as well" Kakashi said moving his eye to the boy in the Anbu outfit. "And it seems like I was right about you being Zabuza's accomplice as well."
Haku seemed amused as he raised his arm up showing off his senbon needles. "My purpose is to serve and protect Zabuza-san. I meant you no disrespect copy-cat Kakashi, but I wasn't going to allow you my master's head."
Hinata watched Sasuke slide forward looking ready to fight. "Sasuke-kun, Kakashi-sensei you can trust Tazuna-San to me. I'll protect him and back you two up while you fight."
Kakashi smiled glad to see Hinata was getting more confident in herself. "Alright Hinata I trust Tazuna-san in your capable hands. Let's go Sasuke."
"Right. I'm not going to let this smug bastard get away with tricking us like he did. It's people like him I hate the most" Sasuke declared getting ready to fight.
"Zabuza-san the boy has a nice fire in his eyes doesn't he?" Haku mused as he watched Sasuke's eye light up with an angry fire.
"Too bad the brat is getting ahead of himself. Those clones only had a tenth of my power, but for him to destroy them shows he has improved. Haku show him no mercy and don't interfere with my fight with Kakashi. I want you to destroy the brats before the blond one appears" Zabuza ordered.
"As you wish Zabuza-san. Looks like he's given me a helping hand at least" Haku said before he disappeared.
Sasuke eyes widened as he watched Haku move quickly across the water and with barely enough time to counter the young Uchiha was able to defend against the mist ninja's attack at the last minute, by blocking his senbon needles with his drawn kunai.
"Oh you blocked my attack... Impressive, but it'll do nothing to stop me from eliminating you!" Haku yelled attacking Sasuke who could only put up a good defense to counter his speed.
Kakashi stood back with Hinata and Tazuna watching Sasuke and Haku counter one another. "The boy's speed is incredible, Sasuke what do you have up your sleeve to handle your opponent?"
Zabuza too stood back watching the fight between Haku and Sasuke. "For Kakashi's brat to stay at par with Haku's level is impressive, but his efforts will prove to be futile when Haku unleashes his true power. How will you brat handle Haku then...Kakashi" the mist swordsman thought glaring at the silvered haired Jounin who was staring back at him.

Tsunami was moving around in the kitchen cleaning up the dishes that she had used to make Inari and her lunch. "Inari, come help me clean up!" the young woman yelled for her young son.
"In the bathroom! Be there in a minute mother!" Inari shouted back as he washed his hands.
Unknown to the mother and son they had unsuspecting visitors that soon made their presence known by breaking down the dining room wall scarring and alerting Tsunami to the intruders. The woman turned towards the destroyed wall and saw two goons standing in the rumble one man had shoulder length hair while his companion had his hair up with an eye patch covering one of his eyes. Tsunami felt her heart beat fast in terror and anger as she recognized them as Gato's men and the ones that killed Kaiza.
"So, you are Tazuna's daughter I presume? Good because you'll be coming with us and I suggest you come quietly or my friend here might start cutting off your limbs if you don't corporate" the henchmen with the long hair ordered.
The thug with his hair up grinned sadistically at her licking his lips as if the thought excited him making Tsunami stumble back and fall to the floor as she let out a panic and scared scream. Inari who was still in the restroom heard his mother scream and quickly out to find out what was wrong.
The young boy ran down the stairs and saw the wreckage of his family's house and saw the two men standing threateningly over his mother. "MOTHER!" he screamed in panic.
"Inari get out of here!" Tsunami screamed fearing for her son more than herself.
"Gato forgot to mention a kid" the long haired swordsman hissed.
"Do we catch him too?" the eye patch swordsman asked.
"Gato said to take one hostage" the long haired swordsman stated.
The eye patch wearing swordsman looked at Inari with no hidden attentions as he began to unsheathe his sword. "Then that means this kids useless to us. Can I kill him right? My blades just itching to tear into flesh again" he said stepping towards the trembling boy.
"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY SON!" Tsunami screamed getting the males attention as she glared definitely at the two hired thugs. "If you touch on hair on his head I swear I'll bite my tongue and kill myself and then you can deal with Gato for failing to get him a hostage."
Inari could do nothing as his tears streamed down his face as he looked at his mother who was holding her ground against the thugs before he looked up at the long haired swordsman sighed.
"Kid you better thank your mom. She's the reason you're going to live. Grab the woman so we can get out of here" he ordered his partner as he groaned at not getting to cut anything as he lifted Tsunami from the ground.
The two swordsman trapped Tsunami between them as they escorted her away, but before she left she looked at Inari and gave her son a calming and reassuring smile that said 'Everything is going to be okay' before they left the crying boy all alone.
When the adults had left Inari sunk to the floor crying into his knees. "Mother...I'm so sorry...I'm not strong enough to protect you...I'm afraid to die...I don't want to d..."
"COWARD!" Naruko voice echoed through the distraught boy's mind. "Does that give you the reason to stand around crying all day?"
"I think in one point of her life Naruko just decided crying was a useless thing to do" Came Kakashi's voice making Inari feel guilty.
"Don't think I'll feel sorry for a crybaby like you! You COWARD!"
"I believe Naruko knows what it means to be truly strong...Just like your dad."
Slowly Inari's tears where stopping as he looked at his hands as his mother smiling face appeared in his mind before another voice rang throughout his head.
"If it's truly precious...Even if you lose your life...You must protect it with these two arms" said the voice of his beloved and deceased father.
Inari sat up and wiped his face getting rid of his tears. "They're all so incredible..." an image of Kakashi, Hinata and Sasuke appeared. "So cool..." another image appeared showing his mother and grandfather. "So STRONG..." lastly an image of Naruko and Kaiza appeared as he found the strength to stand up with his fist clenched up. "Will I... Will I also be able to become strong...Dad?!"
Finding his resolve Inari raced off to go save his mother. Racing down the docks Inari spotted the two thugs and his mother walking down a long pier to a small rowboat.
The thug with the eye patch was busy ogling Tsunami who was just walking steadily ignoring the behemoth next to her. "You have such nice and flawless skin...That makes me just itch for my sword so I can slice it up" the sadistic man said running his hand over Tsunami's cheek making the woman shiver in disgust as she jerked away from his touch making her stumble a bit.
"Keep walking! Gato's waiting for you so move it!" the long haired thug growled pushing Tsunami forwarded making her trip and fall. "I said keep walking!" he growled grabbing Tsunami by her hair making her cry out in pain.
Inari who had finally caught up to the trio growled in anger watching how his mother was treated. "LEAVE MY MOTHER ALONE!" He yelled gaining everyone's attention as he stood on the dock.
"INARI!" Tsunami screamed seeing her son here as the thug released her hair and faced Inari.
"Kid what the hell do you think you're doing here? Are you asking us to kill you?" the long thug who pushed his mother down sneered making Inari tense up and shake.
Inari took a deep breath to steady himself. "I can do this..." "GET...GET AWAY FROM MY MOM!" he yelled charging at the thugs.
"I guess the kid really does want to die...Cut him up" the long haired swordsman ordered grabbing his sword's hilt.
"Thought you never ask" the other thug grinned drawing his blade.
Tsunami watched her son charging at them and then watched the two men draw their swords and she felt her heart beating erratically as fear and terror for her son's life consumed her. "INARI! GET OUT OF HERE!" she screamed in absolute desperation.
As Inari kept coming the two thugs dashed forward drawing their swords simultaneously slashing at the boy, but Inari was not the victim of the blades. It was a simple log.
"Shit! Kawarimi No Jutsu?! How that brat pull that off?!" the long haired man shouted in astonishment.
"Sorry I was late," came a young female voice catching the two swordsmen by surprise as they looked behind themselves to see Naruko putting Inari and unconscious Tsunami down. "But you know us heroes, we always show up at the last minute. Hehe my hero was the same way!"
"Naruko..." Inari said in complete awe at her sudden arrival and last second save.
"Inari-kun you did an amazing job! Thanks to being so brave and distracting these guys I was able to save your mom." Naruko tells him as she got up.
"Look at what we got here...It's one of those loser ninja brats Tazuna hired to protect him. Haha Tazuna must be desperate if he hired a squirt like you!" the eye patch thug mocked making Naruko tense up.
"Well, big and stupid don't you know the age old saying then. The bigger they are the harder they fall and you guys are about to go down hard!" Naruko boasted making the bulker swordsman growl at her as he moved forward to attack.
His companion hissed as he followed after his hot headed partner. The two swordsmen were barreling down on Naruko and Inari and Inari was scared girl was going to get hurt, but he saw that Naruko wasn't nervous or scared just calm and levelheaded.
"Bakas. You should never underestimate your opponent no matter what they look like. Strength comes in all shapes and sizes" Naruko scolded gazing them the two men steadily.
"Foolish girl! You don't know who the hell you're dealing with! Now die!" they both yelled as they leaped into the air with their swords raised ready to strike her down.
Naruko smirked as she gazed up at them. "Gotcha suckers!" she grinned as seeing as the two henchmen fell for her plan leaving themselves wide opened to her attack as the two clones she had created jumped out from the water to attack the two men.
The two clones roundhouse kicked them both in the face and Naruko charged at the two men as they came down and scored devastating punches into the men's abdomens that left the henchmen spewing blood out their mouths as they collapsed on the dock.
With the swordsmen were tied up Naruko turned to face Inari smiling at him. "Man was I lucky!" she giggled.
"Naruko... How did you know that Mother and I were in trouble?" Inari asked.
"Well, when I was dashing through the forest I heard this low whining sound so I went to investigate it. Turns out there was a dying deer laying on the ground that was slowly bleeding to death from multiple slash wounds. After I healed the deer I saw a lot of the trees and underbrush cut up that was leading to your house so I got a bad feeling and came rushing back" she tells him recounted her experience in the forest.
"I'm glad I trusted my instinct to come back...I got to see something amazing" she giggled smiling at him before looking away bashfully.
"Wh...what do you mean?" Inari asked confused by her statement and her sudden behavior change before huffing as Naruko placed her hand on his head ruffling his hair.
"I got to see you act like a true hero and...I'm sorry for calling you a coward, today you proved me wrong. You're really strong Inari-Kun" Naruko said sincerely giving him her true smile that showed her honest and caring side.
Inari stared at bewildered as he began to blush from her praise before he started to tear up and began to cry catching Naruko off guard for his sudden tears.
"Darn it! I told myself I wasn't going to cry anyone...that I was going to be a real man and not cry, but now I'm crying in front of you...the person I never wanted to cry in front of again. You're so strong even with everything you gone through...I wanted to be strong in front of you, but now you're going to call me a crybaby again" Inari sobbed as he tried to dry his tears and make them stop.
Naruko gazed down at the sobbing boy and felt a tender smile form on her face as a fond memory entered her mind. "Why feel bad about crying...?"
"She's a one of kind Gem that can make everyone around feel happy and loved...She will never be the fox demon people claim to be...She's the Leaf Village's and my little girl...NARUKO UZUMAKI!"
"I promise. I will never let you be alone again...I swear it on my life I will always be here to protect you."
Naruko's smile grew as the she heard the heart warming and joy feeling words of the men she cared about echo in her head as she looked at Inari with happy and loving smile. "...It's okay to cry when you're happy!" she declared placing her hands behind her head grinning at the bemused little boy.
Inari feeling the happiness radiating from Naruko made him feel the same and he began to cry again. "Naruko..."
Naruko looked at the tied up thugs. "If these clowns came here then that means the bridge could be attacked too...Inari-kun can I leave things here to you?"
"Yup!" he cried drying his face again.
Naruko grinned at him. "That's what I like to hear from a fellow hero. Hold things down here for me I'm off to save the day again! A hero's work is never done!" she cheered rushing off leaving behind a grinning Inari.

Back on the bridge Kakashi Hinata and Tazuna have watched Sasuke and Haku exchange blow after blow without either boy giving an inch in faltering. Zabuza was growling to himself as he watched the fight wondering why his student was taking it easy on the brat instead of attacking him with his full speed.
The two rivals were at a stalemate trying to push each other's attacks back. Haku could see in Sasuke's eyes that the younger boy was not going to give and for that Haku felt pity for him.
"Why must you persist? You will fall to me and I really do not wish to kill you" Haku tells Sasuke. "You might be one of her precious people..." he thought.
"Don't underestimate me. I'm more than enough to take you down. Like I said before I owe you for making fools out us" Sasuke remarked.
Haku sighed. "I see. You're a man of pride so you will not waiver. Very well, I will not hold back any longer, but I must warn you, from this point on you will no longer keep up with my moves and go on complete defense. I must thank you for giving me the advantages to turn the tides against you."
"Advantages? What are talking about?" Sasuke demanded.
"You have provided with me the water surrounding us to help with my jutsu, but the second one is the fact I have one of your arms engaged already means you do not have the means to counter my attack, but only to defend" Haku explained as brought his free hand up and began to make hand seals with just one hand.
"With one hand?! How is that possible?" Sasuke thought.
"A Shinobi capable of performing a jutsu with one hand? I've never seen anyone do it before... What is this boy?" Kakashi wondered becoming concern about how this fight was going to go.
"Special Jutsu. Flying Water Needles!" Slamming his foot into the puddle of water at his feet Haku was able to summon dozens of water ice needles that surrounded them on all sides.
"Haku you are showing the kindness of your heart again...What will you do now boy?" Zabuza pondered watching Haku summon his attack.
Hinata studied the needles trying to pinpoint a weak point for Sasuke to escape and saw that the needles above had the less concentration of Chakra. "Sasuke-Kun! There's a weak point on you're right!"
Kakashi and Zabuza looked towards the young Hyuga with a mix between baffled amusement and irritation. The amusement was from Zabuza who thought the girl was foolish for announcing were the boy should move even if it was futile. Kakashi was irritated because Hinata yelled out Sasuke position to move so if Sasuke did escape his enemy knew were to guard.
Sasuke hid a smirk on his face as he began to concentrate his Chakra into his legs and feet. 'Now!" he thought as he jumped Sky High catching Haku and the others besides Hinata off guard.
"He's gone?! Why did he jump up when his comrade told him my right side was weakened?" Haku wondered before he jumping backwards as Shurikens rained down upon him.
Haku was trying to catch his balance, but sadly he was unable to predict Sasuke's moves like he thought he would be able to do.
"Now, what did you say about me running and defending against your attacks? Looks like the role have been reversed!" Sasuke declared as he went to strike his opponent, but both his swings where countered, but for Sasuke he was able to unbalance Haku enough to score a vicious kick to his face.
Haku flew back towards Zabuza landing at his master's feet. "IMPOSSIBLE! How did Haku lose in speed to this brat?!"
"Looks like I'm the one with the speed advantage now" Sasuke declared before turning back to Hinata. "Thanks for the help Hinata."
"Help? The girl told you to attack from the right! How was that helpful?!" Zabuza demanded.
Sasuke looked back at the Mist ninja with a smug and superior smirk. "If you think Hinata would be foolish enough to direct me on where to go, were my enemy can easily detect me and counter my attack you're a bigger fool than the Dobe."
"I see. You three have your own personal code to assist each other in these types of situations?" Haku asked as he sat up.
"Clever teamwork, even I was not aware of this secret code they created, but I guess that shows that even I should underestimate my team either. Zabuza I be careful who you call brats because my team is far from it. Sasuke was voted the Village's number one rookie of the year," Kakashi said making Sasuke smirk wider. "Hinata is not only one of the village's brightest Kunoichi and teammate any team would be lucky to have" Kakashi said making Hinata flush at his compliment. "And my last one is the Village's most hyperactive number one knuckleheaded ninja you will ever meet with the biggest and brightest smile around."
Zabuza stared at his foes before he began to laugh getting everyone's attention. "You are a very interesting bunch I'll admit it... Haku if this keeps up we'll be defeated and our purpose here will be ruined.."
Haku slowly stood up facing Sasuke and the others as a deep blue aura surrounded him/ "Do not worry Zabuza-san I will not let your plans be stopped...I am the weapon that will pave the way to your dream" the boy vowed as he clasped his hands in a new seal.
"There's a chill in the air...Is it coming from him?" Sasuke wondered as he prepared for his attack.
Hinata shivered at the chill in the air, but watched as Haku's Chakra took on a foggy mass. "This Chakra is so strong and carries such a deep aura of pain and regret" she thought as she watched Haku pour his chakra out.
Haku focused on Sasuke as his attack was set up. The water surrounding Sasuke began to freeze as it morphed around him. "Makyō Hyōshō!"
Sasuke looked around as he was slowly encased in an ice dome of mirrors. "What the...?!"
Kakashi stared at the Jutsu in stunned surprise. "What kind of Jutsu is this?"
"Sasuke-kun" Hinata whispered watching as Sasuke became trapped in the icy prison.
"I told you I was going to take you seriously...Now witness my true speed and power" Haku said merging with one of the Ice mirrors.
Sasuke watching as Haku's masked formed appeared on every mirror inside the dome. Kakashi sensing the danger Sasuke was in made a move to assist his student, but his path was soon blocked by the demon of the mist himself.
"Sorry Kakashi, but you're going nowhere. Your fight is with me, besides that brat is as good as dead trapped inside that Jutsu. Haku is untouchable now!" Zabuza roared attacking Kakashi with his head cleaver putting the Sharingan warrior on the defensive.
"The arena has been set, so shall we begin?" Haku taunted holding up his senbon needles ready to attack.
Sasuke was occupied with studying the mirrors trying to figure out what he could do to get free when Haku began his attack. In blink of an eye was bombarded with barrages of Ice needles on all sides that the young Uchiha couldn't dodge or escape from being torn to ribbons by the seemingly endless barrage. "AAAAHHHHHH!"
"SASUKE!" Kakashi yelled worried for the boy as he fought Zabuza trying to pass the other Jounin so he could get to his student.
"If you ignore me to save the boy...I'll kill the two behind you" Zabuza threatened.
"GUAAA!" Sasuke screamed as the needles rained down on him.
"SASUKE-KUN!" Hinata cried watching as her friend was attacked.
The young blue haired girl watched as Sasuke kneeled on the ground screaming in agony as the needles tore into him. The sight scared her, but she knew she had to do something even if it meant breaking orders.
"Tazuna-san...I'm sorry, but I have to leave your side for a moment" Hinata stated never taking her eyes off of Sasuke.
Tazuna nodded in understanding. "Go ahead little lady. I'll be right here when you get back."
Hinata nodded in thanks before she charged passed her Sensei and Zabuza with her hands ready in her family signature stance as Chakra covered her hand. As Hinata approached the ice dome she had found the weakest ice mirror and planed on destroying it to give Sasuke an escape route.
"Take this! JUKEN!" Hinata yelled prepared to strike the mirror, but before she could connect Haku had come out of the mirrors to catch her fist.
"You're a dangerous one to leave about especially with those eyes of yours..." Haku commented as Hinata tried to free herself from his hold.
Sasuke who was still crouched on the ground turned to glare at the masked ninja as he held Hinata off the ground. "LEAVE HER ALONE! You're fighting me so release her now!"
"I'm afraid I can't. I'm sorry, but she must be eliminated" Haku said as he used his free hand to perform the same technique from earlier creating the thousands of needles that where all directed towards a defenseless Hinata.
"BASTARD! LEAVE HER ALONE!" Sasuke screamed trying to move to help Hinata, but his body wasn't responding. "Dammit move!"
"HINATA!" Kakashi yelled knowing he had to do something soon or he was going to lose two of his students.
Haku posed to attack and just as he was about to unleash this attack he felt a strong hard punch to the side of his face that made him drop his attack along with grip on Hinata. As Haku hit the ground the figure that saved Hinata caught her and steady her on her feet and all anybody saw was a flash of orange.
"Better late than never dobe..." Sasuke thought grinning at the back of a familiar blond.
"Hyperactive number one knuckleheaded ninja you will ever meet with the biggest and brightest smile around huh?"
"No more worries guys! Naruko Uzumaki has made her grand entrance!" Naruko cheered as she helped steady Hinata on the ground. "You okay Hina-Chan?" the shorter girl asked her.
"Ye..Yes thank you Naru-chan" Hinata said watching as her blond friend turned back to the masked mist ninja and glared at him.
"You bastard! How dare you try to kill Hinata! That's unforgivable!" Naruko yelled pointing to the fallen masked man. "I won't let you get away with it, so prepare to get the crap beaten out of you!
"Naru-chan be careful. He can merge with the mirrors and he has Sasuke-kun trapped inside that dome. Another thing is this guy is really fast he can even match Sasuke-kun" Hinata warned her friend.
"Okay thanks Hina-Chan, I'll get Sasuke out while you stay with the old Man. Nii-chan has Zabuza handled, but the guy might try a dirty trick and I know you can handle him if he does" Naruko tells her.
"Right. Stay safe" Hinata said before she sprinted back to Tazuna's side.
"So you show up at last. I was wondering why you weren't with your friends earlier" Haku said staring at her.
"Got held up taking care of some of your fellow Gato workers. I hope you prove to be a better challenge than those clowns" Naruko challenge shedding her orange jacket and tossing it to the side. "So let's see what you got!" she yelled charging at him with her fist drawn back.
"Yes, let's see how we fair together in battle" Haku said charging at her too. "I wish things were different, but you are my enemy and you stand in the way of the plans of the one I hold precious to me….For that I will become a mere tool that holds no emotions….Will you do the same in my position?"
