Inside Kiri

" Transformation Jutsu? "

Mumbled Zabuza, as he saw Shin change into a man with yellow spiky hair, green eyes and an orange gi with blue shirt underneath.

In a cheerful voice, Shin, now Goku spoke.

" I am your helper, destined to perish with Yagura as you take him down. "

Zabuza nodded, Shin will take down Yagura and give him the credit.

While this new persona gets killed before the village in battle.

A clean assassination without any hint of behind the scenes controller.

" Ano, you still haven't told us your name yet.. "

Haku spoke softly, looking at Shin with a smile in her eyes.

Shin pondered for a few seconds before telling them the truth, they work for him now, sooner of later they will know.

" I am Shinnosuke Uchiha, Uchiha clan's current patriarch, and future Mizukage, nice to meet you Haku. "

Haku laughed cheerfully as Zabuza nodded subtly, this boy had gotten the patriarch position back from those wolves.

He wasn't easy, just strength gets you nowhere, you need to corresponding brains as well.

" Let's go from here, this is the rebel hideout. "

Seeing Shin looking at him, Zabuza explained.

" Just because I don't need the help of weaklings doesn't mean I am blind about information within Mist, the rebel leader is a woman named Terumi Mei, I was invited to join but I refused. "

Shin thoughtfully nodded, Yagura was more than likely taken down by Mei around the time Zabuza lost to team seven in the original.

Zabuza was still trying to get enough money to overthrow Yagura before he got killed in land of waves.

Mei was the Mizukage around Chunin exams, as she decided to not send any students to Konoha.

" I see, we have enough time on our side. "

Shin concluded to which Zabuza didn't say anything. They were here.

* Swish *

All three vanished as they entered the hideout silently, everyone here was S class, believe it or not, Zabuza himself was the weakest here, Haku was stronger than him, by his own admission, even in canon much less here.

* Shing *

Hearing the sound of the beheading blade, the rebels were startled.

" Who are y- Demon of the mist?! "

The rebel in the hideout were instantly on guard, just a while ago this madman attempted the assassination of Yagura by himself.

Even their leader Terumi Mei was arranging a full blown coup to take down Yagura, this man directly went full gung-ho on Yagura and still retreated without any problems.

" Zabuza, what are you doing here? "

Asked the temporary leader of the hideout.

Pointing his sword towards the leader, Zabuza demanded.

" Where is that woman?"

The leader frowned but didn't speak, they were told to keep in touch with Zabuza, in case he returned and agreed for a cooperation, but it wasn't thought to be likely.

" You want to join? "

Asked the leader lightly after which his pupils shrunk instantly.

Because the legendary blade was resting on his neck.

" I said, where is that woman. "

The leader gulped as the slightest movement made his throat get cut just the bare minimum.

But blood didn't flow out, the sword absorbed it.

This was the speciality of the executioner sword.

" I.. I'll bring you there. "

Trembled the leader, right after his reply Zabuza took the sword back.

The only woman Zabuza could look for was their leader Mei.

" Follow me. "

Said the rebel leader as he took Zabuza, and the two Ninja's with him towards Mei.

As for asking who the two Ninja's were? Wasn't it obvious, they were behind Zabuza and didn't speak the entire time.

' Zabuza has found two good partners, the girl seems strong and the man's muscles just scream danger, even wearing all orange he is alive as a ninja, gotta lookout for him. "

As the leader took the three towards a warehouse, he gave a signal which let the outpost be on guard.

Zabuza saw that but didn't care, neither did Haku and Shin.

In a matter of seconds the Ninjas within the outpost got ready and received the news of Zabuza's arrival.

Mei got up from her desk where a map of Mist was laid, looking outside she smiled and gestured Ao to follow her.

" Let's see what the demon of the Mist wants. "

They didn't care if he was a rebel, he was one for the same reason tomorrow they could be one.

They had the same purpose, even if she succeed in the coup, she will cancel Zabuza's wanted order.

Too bad he died in canon or he would have gotten the same treatment, Mist was quite desperate for talents after all.

" Mei. "

" Zabuza. "

Mei came face to face with Zabuza as he spoke her name, returning the gesture with a sensual smile to her lips, she licked her fingers.

" You have gotten really strong.. I wonder, how handsome you are underneath your mask Zabuza.. "

Mei spoke in a tone filled with lust.

But Zabuza didn't get fooled by this, many had died to her charms, she was the exact type of person Zabuza hated, saying something and doing just the opposite. If he wanted to kill people he does just that while she has to make a whole game out of it.

By all intents and purposes, she was sick.

" Scram. "

Hearing Zabuza's one word reply, Mei didn't care, she didn't expect Zabuza to throw himself in her arms either.

That wasn't Zabuza's character.

But looking at the two behind him, her eyes lit up.

" Oh, what a beautiful girl.. is she the reason you don't look at me Zabuza? And on my! What a handsome man! "

As Mei was all but drooling at the sight of Super Saiyan Goku.

Zabuza was frowning, he was ready for any fight thrown his way, but he didn't want this insane woman to target Haku.

Looking at Shin, Zabuza huffed, this didn't get him down, Haku was stronger than him, she will be fine, especially with Shin around.

Mei glanced at Shin with a sly look as she walked towards him with grace.

" Who are you? Can I know your name handsome? "

Stopping in her tracks with a small smile Mei looked at Zabuza, as he had put his sword on her neck.

" He's my man, don't go too far. ".

Mei tilted her head as she backed away.

She had done enough temptations, now she had an idea on where Zabuza's strength stood and how she should go about this.

" Why don't we talk over there. "

Mei asked Zabuza to sit with her and Ao.

As she made a concealed hand sign and warned Ao to be careful.

She could sense it, Zabuza was stronger than before, it wasn't his pure hard power, it was his mentality, he was free in his actions, burdened no more.

This made him very dangerous to Mei, she didn't want to fight a man who wouldn't care for a thing.
