Prologue

There wasn't much time left. I looked at Fox boy and then away. Silver-hair had his puppies all wrapped around Zabuza and was charging full speed with a lightning blade in hand.

[Shit.] If Zabuza got hit head-on by that jutsu, he'd definitely die. Master looked at me then, he wanted me to be his shield.

[Hell no. We still had time.]

I couldn't get away before Fox boy swung at me again. I caught him by the wrist and went through random single-hand jutsu signals to distract old Orange.

"Sasuke!" Forehead cried from her side.

I looked back. Fan boy was still lying uselessly on the floor. [Shit.] Her scream scared me for a moment. My eyes widened in realization. There was still Pinky.

I sent about ten senbon at the ninja dogs and Zabuza took this time to maneuver away.

"Sakura-Chan!" Orange screamed at the top of his overworked lungs.

With his large hand, Zabuza grabbed "sakura-chan" and stuck her in front of him.

It was a split of a split second and everything happened too fast. Electric currents were shooting in all directions. All I saw was bright light until Silver finally shut off his lightning blade and the energy died down.

Blondie instantly went weak in the knees and crashed into the cement. Uchiha finally stopped crawling and gawked.

In front of Silver-hair were two lifeless-dilated pupils-not-ready-to-move-on-I-still-have-dreams corpses floating atop a pool of fresh blood. Silver's one hand went through both of them at once...

[Fuck. Imagine if that was me.]

Silver looked at me and I at him then back at cherry blossom and muscly.

And that was how, I, Haku Yuki, pitiful orphan and deadly assassin of the Mist, replaced Sakura in Team 7.
