Chapter 47

'' I don't know who you are brat, but I can see that you are just like me. '' Zabuza said to Naruto.

'' I don't give a fuck about that. '' Naruto was in his combat stance, which was in a crouch like position, holding his giant sword on his right hand, and resting it on his shoulders.

'' I have a job to do and you, are standing in my way. ''

Zabuza smiled, '' Very well kid, I also have a Job to do and that involves that old man. '' Zabuza pointed at Tazuna.

'' Hand him over to me, and you all can walk away with heads still attached to your neck. ''

'' We refuse. '' Kakashi said appearing a few feet behind Zabuza. '' Sasuke, Sakura and Sai protect Tazuna-san !''

'' You heard the man. '' Naruto smirked at Zabuza, '' Get out of our sight, if you want your head still attached to your neck. ''

Zabuza simply gave a very creepy laugh, '' It's funny you know. ''

'' What's funny? '' Naruto asked.

'' You think that just because you have the numbers advantage, you can fuck with me ? ''

Zabuza made some very quick hand seals, Naruto with his instinct, knew that if Zabuza were to finish what ever jutsu he was trying to do, he was going to get fucked up.

Naruto and Kakashi rushed towards Zabuza, but Kakashi was faster and stabbed a kunai on Zabuza's ribs.

'' You're too late, Hidden mist Jut- '' Before he could finish, Naruto cleanly cleaved through Zabuza's neck.

The head dropped to the ground, and blood was spraying from the headless neck.

Sakura screamed in horror at the sight, Sasuke was shocked while Sai simply watched.

'' It's a water clone. '' Kakashi stated. The blood that was comming out from Zabuza's body turned out to be simply just water, soon after the body itself disintegrated into a pool of water.

'' Hidden mist Jutsu! '' All of a sudden, the surrounding became foggy, it then became soo foggy, that they could not see each other.

'' Box formation now ! protect Tazuna-san ! '' Kakashi commanded his team.

That was his plan all along. Tricking us with a water clone so that we get separated from Tazuna and he can kill the old man.

'' Don't get separated ! '' Kakashi shouted. '' He is Zabuza Momochi the master of the Silent killing Technique. ''

Not sooner, the three Genin and Tazuna heard a wisper of death. '' Eight points... Laryx, spine, lungs, liver, jugular, subclavian artery, Kidneys, Heart. Which one shall I choose. '' Zabuza said with killing intent.

The Genin and Tazuna were shivering at the killing intent, directed at them.

They have no time to react, when Zabuza appeared behind them.

'' Die! '' Zabuza said as he swung his giant sword.

'' Not this time. '' Kakashi said as he seemed to appear out of thin air, stabbing Zabuza on his sides. Blood flowed from the wound, but that Zabuza simply just turned out to be a water clone.

Another Zabuza appeared behind Kakashi, ready to swing his sword at him.

'' I had enough of this. '' Naruto voice was heard a blur went through Zabuza's body from the head made a huge impact on the ground underneath his feet.

Zabuza's body, was split into half from the head, but again it turned out to be another water clone.

'' Che. '' Naruto was clearly annoyed.

'' Nice one kid, if I was careless I would be dead by now. '' Zabuza's voice was heard through the mist. '' You have an insane brute strength and a terrifying fast swing. But you have no skills to wield that sword. ''

'' Who need skills, when you have brute strength and speed. ''

A creepy chuckle was heard, '' I think I heard that quote from someone before... Let me guess... You got it from a hidden mist corpse didn't you? ''

'' Yeah so what? '' Naruto replied.

'' That fighting philosophy or whatever crap you call it, is an advance training regime that was developed by the hidden mist in an effort to create super soldiers. But you know what... None of the idiots who practiced it survived. ''

'' Let me guess. '' Naruto said, '' It was to tough for them. ''

'' That's right kid. The training methods were far too brutal, not to mention how it ultimately destroys the body from exhaustion That's why the hidden mist removed this training regime. Looking at you, I am sure that you are also one of the idiots who practiced that training regime. And like those idiots, you will die very soon... Hehehe. ''

'' You know, many people have said that I will die, or I will die by their hands but none of them were ever successful and I doubt that you can kill me. ''

'' Kids these days are so arrogant. '' Zabuza said. '' Let me teach you a lesson then. ''

'' Cut the useless chat, and let's spill blood already! ''

'' As you wish. ''

Then there was a long uncomfortable silence.

Kakashi pats Naruto's shoulder to get his attention. '' Naruto, we are a disadvantage right now and it is best we work together. ''

'' So you got any plans then? ''

'' As a matter of fact, I do and I will need your help. ''

'' Let's do this then. ''

'' Before that...'' Kakashi then pulled up his forehead protector, revealing his left eye. But when he opened it, a true shock came, especially to Sasuke.

It was the Sharingan.

The special Do jutsu that the Uchiha clan was soo proud of.

'' So that's where the '' copy ninja '' from huh.'' Naruto simply stated. '' From which unlucky Uchiha did you stole that eye. ''

'' It was a gift from my friend. '' Kakashi said. '' He told me to use it to protect the people. So... '' He turned to his Genin, '' I will protect you all. ''

'' Yeah whatever. '' Naruto simply shrugged it off. '' So can those miraculous eyes of yours tell me where that fucker's location is at. ''

'' I wish I could, but this mist is covered with chakra. ''

'' I'll find him my way then. '' Naruto used his super enhanced sense of smell to scan around the area.

'' Found him. He right there. '' Naruto pointed at a direction.

'' Alright let's do this. '' Kakashi was first to launch the attack, throwing shirukens at the pointed direction.

A sharp 'ching' sound was heard. '' I'll gut you like a pig! '' Naruto rushed towards the direction of the sound. Swinging Despair vertically, he cleaved through the mist and hit a metal object sending a loud metallic sound that could leave a person deaf.

The mist around Naruto cleared a bit, revealing Zabuza who was struggling to block the brute strength behind Naruto's strike. Naruto did not stop there, he unleash a number of vicious swings towards Zabuza, but the mist swordsman blocked them with great difficulty.

' His attacks are too strong. ' Zabuza thought after receiving another strike. ' My hands are starting to get numb due to the shockwaves of his attacks. ' He blocked another attack, ' And his swings are fast too. I should end this fast. He then backflip away from a downward attack from Naruto, once getting a good distance away from him, he started forming hand seals.

'' This ends here. ''

Currently, he was standing on top of a pond. '' Water style: Water dragon Jutsu! ''

The water underneath his feet rose up forming into a dragon which then seemed to roared at Naruto. The Water dragon went straight towards Naruto, but he did not even tried to block the attack.

'' Water style: Water dragon Jutsu! '' Another water dragon appeared and went straight towards Zabuza's water dragon. As the two dragons crash towards each other, Zabuza saw who was the one releasing the Ninjutsu, it was Kakashi.

'' Using my own technique, huh. '' Zabuza mused. '' It seems like i'm at a disadvantage. ''

'' Naruto. '' Kakashi said to Naruto, getting his attention. '' Yeah. '' Naruto replied.

'' Let's finish this right now. We attack together, you distract him, while I finish him off. '' Kakashi told him his plan.

'' Sounds great. I'm a decoy now. '' Naruto agreed sarcastically. Naruto then ran towards Zabuza, Kakashi following behind him. As they sprinted on top of the water, Naruto held Despair with both hands and Kakashi was already forming hand seals.

Zabuza on seeing this, he smirked at his impending doom. '' Got you now. ''

All of a sudden, something grabbed Kakashi's feet, restraining his movement. He looked down and saw another water clone under water holding his feet. '' Naruto it's a trap! retre- '' Kakashi was then enveloped in a sphere of thick water that made him completely immobile.

'' What?! '' Naruto turned around to see Kakashi inside a sphere of water.

'' Don't get distracted in a fight. '' That was what Naruto heard, when Zabuza swung his sword at Naruto. He barely dodged the attack, but Zabuza swung his sword again and the blunt part of his sword struck at Naruto's temple.

The strike was strong enough, that Zabuza heard a chack on impact. Naruto was knocked out, his body floated motionless on the water surface.

'' Che. looks like I killed you kid. '' Zabuza mocked.

Zabuza then took Despair, holding it on with his free hand. '' A swords must always be close to its master... so, let's keep it that way. '' He stabbed Naruto with Despair, impaling Naruto with it.

Since the blade was heavier that Naruto, he began to sink underwater.

'' That's two down, you're next. '' He said in a dark voice and was looking straight at Tazuna and the Genin with a psychotic smile.

The said people, felt a spine chilling pressure directed towards them.

Meanwhile, Naruto was in his mindscape. '' Congratulations you're dead! '' Fog said in a bright smile plastered on his face.

'' I'm not dead yet you bastard. '' Naruto said.

'' Well you better wake up kid. Or your death will be official. '' Kurama said.

'' Shut up you oversized fox! '' Naruto roared.

'' If you were more careful, you won't be in this sorry state. '' Kurama pointed out.

'' Fuck you! '' Naruto flashed his middle finger at Kurama.

'' Same to you kid. '' Kurama replied with a middle finger of his own.

'' You do know you are dying right. '' Fog reminded Naruto.

'' Crap! '' Naruto cursed and he left his mindscape.

On opening his eyes, he immediately realize, he was underwater, also he found his own sword was impaled on his body.

He yanked his sword out of his body, then focused his Aura on healing his body. It was taking a lot of his nutrients from him, but at last his body was completely healed at the expense of almost all his nutrients being used up.

' I got to get to the surface. '

He swam towards the surface with whatever strength he had left. On reaching the surface, he gasped for air. '' I'm gonna skin that bastard alive. ''

He then looked for Zabuza, but only found a disappointing scene before him. Zabuza had two sebons on his neck and he already dead.

'' Ah shit! '' Naruto said in disappointment. He then looked at the person who killed him.

A mist ninja wearing an ANBU mask and had a feminine figure. The mist Ninja took Zabuza's corpse and left.

He then saw Kakashi on his knees and his Genin along with Tazuna came to assist him.

He went towards them, '' What did I miss? ''

The group of people Infront of him, started at him with shocked faces. '' What are you looking at? '' Naruto asked them.

'' THE GHOST TALKED!!! '' Sakura screamed in horror.

'' I'm not dead you stupid bitch. ''

[ Two hours later ]

After he was sent underwater, Naruto missed a lot of things.

Sakura told him that Sasuke and Sai worked together to free their sensei, to which Kakashi then proceeded to kill Zabuza, only to find the ANBU ninja from the mist to kill Zabuza with a sebon, the ANBU ninja then took the corpse to dispose it. She then went to describe how cool her Sasuke-kun when he saved their sensei. But Naruto ignored all of her useless nonsense.

There were a lot of things that was going through Naruto's head, so he asked Kakashi, who was currently on his back. Back then Kakashi had over used his Sharingan and had no strength left to move, so he had to carry him.

'' Oi. Kakashi, Zabuza's not dead isn't he ? '' Naruto asked.

'' No. He is not. '' Kakashi replied.

'' So now what ? '' Naruto asked.

'' Now we wait and recover. '' Kakashi replied. '' Assuming that he was sent in a death like state, it would take him atleast a week to recover. ''

'' Then what ? ''

'' I want to train my genin so that they can atleast have a chance when they face him again. ''

'' Hah. You think a week of training can help them to defeat a ninja of Zabuza's calibre. ''

'' Not exactly, but atleast they can escape from him. ''

Finally they reached the land of Waves, and as Tazuna said it was at a sorry state.

There was poverty, beggars, starvation, kids in rags, thieves and much more but they have no time to look and pity them.

They arrived at the river side where there was a somewhat decent house from the rest of the village.

'' Tsunami I'm home! '' Tazuna declared.

The door opened and a young woman greeted them. '' Father you are back! who are these people? ''

'' These ninjas and his young man are the people who protected me. Go prepare a room for them. ''

'' Who are these people. '' A young boy wearing a white and blue stripped hat came out from the house, he wore a very gloomy face that seemed like he never smiled once in his life.

'' Oh! Inari. These are the people that will help us save this village. '' Tazuna introduced them to his grandson.

'' Please leave, otherwise you will all die. ''
