**********************************************************************************************************

Team 7 was standing in formation around tazuna, when naruto began to feel a powerful fear. But it wasn't his own, he could feel it was coming from somewhere, he turned in that direction and the origin immediately appeared to him "Damn, tazuna's family" he started running as fast as he could towards them, disappearing into the fog. Leaving behind him an astonished team 7. Quickly a voice pierced the fog "it seems that the konoha ninjas are even more cowardly than I thought" kakashi was perplexed, could it have been... Yes it was the most likely explanation "you don't know anything about the abilities these youngsters possess

-Oh, and enlighten me, great sage Kakashi, said zabuza mockingly.

-It's an uzumaki.

-Zabazu laughed, and said, it would seem that I am not the only one who has underestimated you, but I will not repeat that mistake, I have come prepared."

A dozen zabuza came out of the mist but before they could do anything sasuke pulled a kunai out of his pocket and easily slaughtered the zabuza clones "is that all you have?" Zabuza and haku, still wearing his kiri's anbu mask, appeared? "They've gotten a little better as far as I can see."

"Sasuke you take care of his accomplice while waiting for naruto, sakura you protect tazuna, I'll take care of zabuza" sasuke threw himself on haku and they their weapon clashed, haku quickly followed by a direct attack, sasuke dodged them easily and tried to cut haku with his kunai, stopped by one needles of the latter. Each of the two tried to overpower his opponent, blocking each other."You're strong but how do you plan to parry now" he made a one-handed justsu "suiton: sensatsu suisho (a thousand needles of death) thin blade of water formed and rushed towards sasuke, he didn't have time to be impressed by the execution of the technique thanks to one hand, he circulated his chakra in his body, easily pushing haku away and sending it flying. Taking advantage of the opening he followed haku, dodging his technique, and before he could get up, sasuke gave him a kick, followed by a kunai blow, the latter damaging his mask. "It seems I'll have to go all out " haku took his distances with sasuke and an icy aura invaded the atmosphere "hyoton : makyo hyosho(demonic crystal ice mirror) a mirror sphere of surrounded sasuke.Haku entered one of these, appearing in all of them at once, his voice came from all the mirrors "tell me is there someone you care about more than anything else, someone you would be willing to give your life for,

-you know, I think I lost the ability to care about people a long time ago,

- You remind me of zabuza, but because of that there's no way you can defeat me,

-I can't wait to see it," replied Sasuke, activating his Sharingan.

A rain of needles fell on sasuke, he took about ten kunai and threw them by spinning on himself. He took the opportunity to analyze the situation, and dodged all the remaining needles. He kicked what seemed to be the void, to touch haku. But he had still received a wound on his thigh. The fight continued from dodge to counterattack. He even managed to plant a shuriken in haku's shoulder, and to strike him several times.But he soon realized that he couldn't go on like that, his wounds were slowly starting to accumulate. He smiled "time to go out" raiton: goraikyu (great lightning ball), he charged a maximum of chakra in his attack.Then he spat out a huge ball, several meters wide, of concentrated lightning, it destroyed several mirrors and cracked those around. He began to run towards the exit that he had created. But halfway through he spat blood, after his training he had greatly increased his chakra reserves and this technique he had created was not perfect, such an amount of chakra with such a technique had damaged his lungs. Because of this he could not get out of the mirrors in time. haku had time to reform them. The fight started again, but sasuke had difficulty to breathe, he couldn't physically follow haku and started to be beaten. However, Sasuke had a satisfied smile on his face "it looks like you're happy, you know you're risking your life?

-Yes, and that's why I'm enjoying it so much, I think I've never felt so alive." With the excitement a second tomoe appeared in his Sharingan. Then , and despite his injuries, sasuke managed to balance the battle, his body had difficulty following, but haku moved as if in slow motion, allowing him to compensate for his slowness.

Their fight was stopped by a shout "I'm back to save the day !!!!" sasuke could hear kakashi answering "Naruto go help sasuke, I have the situation in hand on my side" The next second, naruto was in the mirror enclosure next to sasuke.

"Naruto to the rescue!

-you know you would have been more helpful in support?

- Don't be stupid, I'm much better at taijustsu than I am at shurikenjustsu,

-Anyway, I don't need your... sasuke fell, one knee down, he wasn't used to the consumption of the second level of sharingan, and with the use of goraikyu, he didn't have enough chakra to keep the sharingan active, you know what, forget what I said, I might need some help.

- that's what I'm here for, right?

But despite the best efforts of naruto and sasuke they couldn't manage to hit haku again, sasuke was almost out of Chakra and his lungs were hurting, he had trouble concentrating. The wounds were starting to accumulate. Naruto was on the ground covered with a needle."I really don't want to kill you but you leave me no choice, I'm sorry." Haku threw himself on Naruto, Sasuke had a blank moment, rivers of blood and mountains of dead bodies filling his field of vision. "Nooooooooo," standing in front of Naruto, and took the blows in his place.

He thought he had overcome the trauma, he had even stopped having nightmares. Naruto stood up trembling, "Sasuke?

-I acted instinctively" and he collapsed to the ground. But just before falling into a near death state, he could feel a beastly chakra, a black bottomless pit of energy, a last thought crossed his mind, naruto?
