Wings of a Butterfly
Chapter VII
XxXRecapXxX
As Sakura pulled back the blanket she saw Sasuke sleeping nude. A blush instantly appeared on Sakura's face and a small amount of blood seeped from her nose. However Sakura also saw large c cup breasts on Sasuke's chest and she felt jealous of the raven. Sakura's hand reached out and gripped Sasuke's breast and gently squeezed it, it was real.
However what Sakura felt next was her arm being twisted behind her back and a Kunai on her neck, Sasuke was apparently a very light sleeper.
"You have exactly one second to tell me why you're in my tent Sakura." Sasuke said.
"I. I. I just wanted to see if your gender was really that of a girl…" Sakura stammered. "I didn't want to believe it. I'm your soulmate so I couldn't believe you were a girl."
"Get out of my tent." Sasuke said firmly. "Now."

Morning had come to Hi no Kuni and teamseven were on the road again Sasuke seemed more irritated than usual, a deeper scowl adorning her usual emotionless face. Sakura was walking as far away from Sasuke as possible with her shoulders slumped and unusually quiet. Kakashi knew why this was, Sasuke had told him the night before about what Sakura did and Kakashi knew that this wasn't something that an apology would fix.
Naruto was walking in front of the group keeping an eye on the road he knew something was bothering Sasuke but the raven had yet to tell him what. Naruto also noticed Sakura wasn't pestering Sasuke for a date when they got back to Konoha and that something was weighing on her thoughts but like Sasuke Sakura had yet to tell Naruto what's bothering her.
Kakashi knew that what had happened between Sasuke and Sakura would change the team dynamic and that Sakura finally knew that she was living in a fantasy world. Kakashi also knew that Sakura would have to be put on a different team, Kakashi just wasn't sure which team. If Kakashi traded Sakura for Ino it was possible for the same thing to happen again, but if Kakashi traded Sakura for Hinata how would that affect Naruto. Kakashi didn't have an answer.
As Team Seven was walking Naruto heard the rustling in the leaves of a bush and held up his hand signaling for the group to stop. When the team stopped, Naruto went over to the bush to investigate and his search produced a white rabbit. However upon seeing Naruto the rabbit didn't immediately run away.
Naruto took a closer look at the rabbit and saw it was a white snow hare. But it was spring during the spring Snow Hares have brown fur to help them blend in, their fur only turns white during winter when there is snow on the ground.
'This snow hare doesn't fear me which means it was raised by someone and it has been kept indoors indicating it isn't wild.' Naruto thought to himself.
Naruto then heard a soft whistle in the air and immediately tackled Tazuna to the ground as a large sword flew overhead embedding itself into a tree.
"Sharingan no Kakashi, the Copy Nin. No wonder the demon brothers failed." came the voice of a man now standing on the grip of the massive sword.
"Momochi Zabuza, Demon of the Hidden Mist. While I could have handled the demon brothers alone it was actually my genin who killed the brothers." Kakashi explained.
Sasuke heard Kakashi's title and looked at him curiously. 'Sharingan? But Kakashi isn't Uchiha. So how does he have the Sharingan? Did he steal it?'
"You expect me to believe that children killed two of the most skilled Chunin in coordinated combat?" Zabuza asked.
"Believe what you want I won't steal their rightfully earned kills from them." Kakashi replied. "Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke protect Tazuna, Zabuza is mine."
"Hai." was the unified response to the command.
"So you think you can take me in a one on one fight? Admirable but foolish." Zabuza said as a thick fog rolled in, obscuring Zabuza from view.
Kakashi reached for his hitai-ate and pushed it up, opening his left eye revealing the famed Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.
"Eight points. Larynx, Spine, Lungs, Liver, Jugular, Subclavian artery, Kidneys, Heart. Which one should I go for?" came Zabuza's voice from all around Team Seven.
Naruto closed his eyes momentarily, steeling his nerves for what was about to happen. Just as Zabuza appeared in the midst of Team Seven Naruto acted.
"Jukenho: Lingchi." Naruto said calmly.
In a matter of seconds Naruto had delivered sixty-four cuts to Zabuza only for the man to turn into water and to the ground.
"So your genin aren't completely useless, this one has some talent." came Zabuza's voice.
"Naruto has mastered the Hyuga Clan's gentle fist and modified it to fit his own style with the use of weapons." Kakashi said calmly.
"Then I better end him before he can become a problem." Came Zabuza's voice once more.
Just as Zabuza reappeared there was a loud chirping sound as if a flock of birds were all singing at once.
"Chidori." came Kakashi's voice.
The next thing anyone saw was a hand holding a literal ball of pure electricity going through the chest of a young girl roughly the same age as Naruto and the rest of team seven. The girl's eyes were lifeless and blood dripped from Kakashi's hand.
"Well done Haku." Zabuza said.
"Jukenho: Lingchi." Came Naruto's voice once more.
This time when the jutsu ended Zabuza fell to his knees with many deep cuts at major organs and arteries, and this time there was blood coming from the wounds not water.
"Impressive." Zabuza said as he fell to the ground lifeless blood pooling around him.
Sakura stared at Naruto in disbelief while Sasuke held a smug smirk on her lips.
"H-How did you? I thought the Juken was only taught to Hyuga clan members." Sakura stamered.
"It is. I got special permission from the Hyuga clan head to learn and modify the Juken. Hiashi said something about a debt owed to my father." Naruto explained.
"Naruto have you ever considered using twin tanto instead of kunai in your form?" Kakashi asked.
"More than a few times I just haven't had time to buy any plus I never pay face value for gear taxes they always say." Naruto replied.
"What do you mean taxes?" Sasuke asked not liking where this was heading.
Sasuke knew Naruto was outcast by the village as he was born the same day as the Kyubi attack and many thought Naruto was the Kyubi but this was the first time she had heard about him paying more than face value for something.
Kakashi knew very well how badly Naruto was treated and his heart ached.
"Naruto I have a spare set of tanto. They are good quality chakra metal. They will allow you to channel chakra into them with ease." Kakashi said.
"Thanks kakashi-sensei." Naruto said.
Kakashi opened his bag and pulled out a scroll on it was a crimson serpentine dragon. Kakashi handed the scroll to Naruto.
"Here they are called the Twin Serpents made from the strongest metal under a clan of blacksmith's from Tetsu no Kuni. I wanted to give them to my son but I don't have a family of my own so you will have to take them in his place." Kakashi said.
What Kakashi didn't tell Naruto was that he owed a great deal to Naruto's mother Kushina for helping him in his training after the events in the third shinobi world war.
A/N: Hey all Azrael here I hope you all enjoyed this Chapter I know I introduced Zabuza and Haku a bit early and killed them in the first encounter but I have something planned for the encounter with Gato planned and honestly I hope my plan for introducing Gato goes better than what's in my head. Anyway this concludes chapter seven stay tuned for the next installment.
Ja~ne.
