Chapter 9: Lucy vs Zabuza.
( Training area)
Itachi is training Naruto ninjutsu and the use of how to control his vectors.
As the young boy has began getting the hang of the control of his vectors. Using them In different ways.
Before the two could focus on training at hand. They narrowed their eyes sensing someone near.
Flying Senbon had almost started to hit Naruto's neck but the boy's senses were sharp as his vectors repelled the Senbon.
Itachi turned on his Sharingan and spotted three figures. As he too lashed his own vectors out against the three.
Haku for some reason told her to move and yet she did. But the demon brothers, Gozu and Mezu. Were not lucky as they were bisected by Itachi's vectors which shocked and surprised her seeing the two die in a gory way.
"What the!?" Haku thought with fear on her face seeing the two die like that. Before she could do anything she felt something grip her neck as if something is choking her. Naruto's vector had caught Haku as he dragged her out of her hiding area, both Itachi and Naruto glanced down at Haku.
Itachi made first to remove her mask. She was wearing her Kiri hunter mask.
"Let's take her to Lucy-sama. Naruto-kun." Says Itachi with Naruto keeping his hold on Haku's neck.
( With Lucy)
She walked calmly at the west side, she could see two dead Samurai's meaning the assassin is near. She shifted her pink eyes around and listened carefully, she heard a whooshing like sound her eyes shifted to the right and summoned her vectors to deflect a flying large sword that she has never seen before as the said sword was now stuck in the ground.
Zabuza looked on in surprise. What the hell did she do!? How did she redirect his sword?
"I know you are there. So come out." Lucy says with no emotion
Zabuza indeed did come out surprised that she sensed him. What is she? Does she have a bloodline of some sort?
"So you found me..." He says Seeing her give him a cold look.
"You must be pretty stupid to throw away your life." Lucy would say narrowing her eyes at him which made him have a sweat on his face.
"Sorry lady. But this is nothing personal, just business." He says going through a few handseals
"Water style: Water Dragon Jutsu!" He launched a giant water dragon at Lucy who stood there not exactly worried as her vectors behind her were summoned and went at the water dragon breaking through it as Zabuza looked stunned seeing her destroy his water dragon Jutsu. He instantly changed tactics and tossed several kunai at her in which she stood still giving him a blank bored look deflecting them with her vectors.
"How does she do that!?" He thought wondering if she has some sort of bloodline that she's using. He couldn't see the vectors.
"Is that your best?" She asks with a bored look
"I don't know how are you doing this but I bet you're not ready for this! Hidden Mist Jutsu!" He weaved a few hand seals creating large wide span mist.
Lucy narrowed her eyes. He created a mist meaning she can't see him but she could hear him and sense him.
"She obviously has a bloodline. Yet she's not from Kiri... she can deflect my sword, kunai and even my Water Dragon Jutsu. Something tells me she's no ordinary woman or human... judging by the horns on her head. I must finish this hopefully Haku and the demon brothers killed her son." Was his thoughts now grabbing his sword quietly he seriously didn't want to wait around at what other bloodline like powers she has. And he's going to find out pretty soon.
He needed to take precautions. He created two Water clones and directed them at her.
Lucy while looking around in the mist and is listening out for Zabuza already with her vectors out waiting for the man to attack her.
Her eyes suddenly narrowed as Zabuza appeared with his sword and swinged it at her she used her vectors to cut off both the man's arms off and behead him. After killing him she saw 'Zabuza' turn into water. Narrowing her eyes further he sent a clone! She quickly moved to the side avoiding another Zabuza who attempted to cleave her in half, her vectors went through him and impaled him only to explode in water realizing it was another clone.
The real Zabuza who saw what happened to both of his clones could only widen his eyes in horror while sweating heavily. This woman is definitely something else. And she did that without no hands or weapons!? He has no idea just what he is dealing with right now.
"I'm tired of this little hide and seek game." Lucy says sending all her vectors out.
"Shit!" He cursed not wanting to be on the receiving end of whatever bloodline she has. He blocked whatever was coming at him with his sword the moment her vectors touched his sword that made a clang noise.
When she heard that, she smiled.
"There you are."
Her vectors punched his sword breaking it in half which shocked him.
"She broke my sword! Shit! I need to escape!" He thought but was too late as he was punched in the gut and fell on his knees groaning her vector grabbed his neck and pulled him to her.
He looked up and stares at her ice cold pink eyes.
"So are you going to kill me?" He asks already knowing that he's about to die. As he could feel something invisible choke him tightly
Lucy stares at him deciding if she should kill him or not. She watches him with a calculating stare.
"I will decide what to do with you in my throne room." She answered as she heard her Samurai appear.
"kaede-sama!" Shouted her Samurai seeing it was 6 of them with swords drawn as she turned to them keeping her vector at Zabuza's throat.
"Cuff him and bring him to the throne room." She commanded as she released Zabuza as the Samurai instantly surrounded him with their swords on him. They cuffed him and took him to the throne.
( Throne Room)
Now in the throne room. Lucy sat on her throne glaring at both Zabuza and Haku. As Naruto and Itachi had returned Haku as well.
"So the two of you attempted to assassinate me I presume?" She asks with Zabuza nodding.
"I see." She replied with a sneer.
"It wasn't personal. Just business. Gato promised us a large sum of money if we kill you and your son." Zabuza confessed while wincing at the killer intent Lucy leaked in the room and was scowling at the two.
The samurai and those around her flinched at the Killer Intent their Daimyo Released.
Humans and their damn greed for money. They would do anything to have money just pure greed and carelessness, only thinking for their own benefits. And these two attempted to kill not only her but her Son Naruto.
She was definitely going to make an example out of Gato.
"I'm not really surprised. That you would do this for money. All the more reason to have you both killed for such an attempt." Lucy hissed glaring at the two as the killer intent skyrocketed
"Shit! She makes Yagura look like a child compared to her killer intent!" Thought Zabuza now wishing he didn't do this. While Haku herself looked terrified.
"My lady. If I may protest." Says Itachi as he walked up on the throne to talk to her.
"What is it Itachi.?" She asks wanting to know what does he have to say.
"My lady. I feel that we should have Zabuza and his accomplice on our side and make them diclonius like we are." He suggested while wincing at the look she gave him.
"Oh? And pray tell me why should I allow these two to join us." She whispered as Itachi had told her everything about Zabuza's reputation as a member of the seven swordsman of the mist along with his silent killing skills. As Lucy stood there now reconsidering of having Zabuza and his accomplice on their side. She nodded to Itachi who moved away and glanced back at the two.
Both Zabuza and Haku stood there In silent glancing at the diclonius queen who stared at them silently.
Naruto looked back and forth to his mom and the two Assassins.
Lucy summoned her vectors in phased them through Both Zabuza and Haku who widened their eyes feeling something go right through them as she retracted them.
"What did you do to us?" He demanded
"Made the two of you. One of us. Be grateful that Itachi had protested me in not killing the two of you, seeing you could be both useful than dead. Because I really wanted to kill the two of you." Lucy says with the two not understanding the "become one of us"
"What are you saying? One of us? What did you do to us!?" Yelled Zabuza
"I made you both like me. Itachi and Naruto. Plus Anko and Yugao and Soi-fon. You two will be diclonius and are officially members of my clan." She says with the two of them now starting to understand.
"Never! I will not be a horned freak!" Zabuza protested.
"You have no choice in the matter. The infection will spread throughout your bodies. And will become Diclonius. You both serve me now. Take them away in the dungeon. The infection will soon turn them." She commanded as the Samurai took the two away who are protesting and yelling.
"What now Lucy-sama?" Asked Itachi as she turned to him.
"Go find Yugao and Anko. I want the three of you to find Gato and bring him to me alive. Kill those loyal to him, every last thug that is Under him are to be killed. No mercy." She says with Itachi flashing a sadistic cold smirk
"As you wish." He says now walking away while Naruto got on his mother's lap. Who stroked his red hair and horns.
Looking at her son.
She'll do a public execution on Gato once he's brought alive. The thugs and those loyal to him can die.
