Kaoru P.O.V
- The mist is so thick, I can't see what's ahead. – Sakura stated.
- What difference would it make if you could? It's not like you would attack an enemy if you saw him, more likely to scream and try to swim away as fast as possible. – I said bored.
She immediately glared at me.
- That look doesn't scare me pinkie. Not even a bit. – I said.
- We should be able to see the bridge soon, if we move along the side of the bridge we'll be at the Country of Waves. – the guy said.
..........I'M SO BORED!
We were now starting to see the bridge.
- IT'S HUGE! – Naruto said.
- H-Hey be quiet! We're using this boat and hiding in the mist so don't make noise! – the guy said scared.
Geez.
- Tazuna-san...there is something I want to ask you. – dad said.
I sighed.
- Geez dad. Just ask him, he lied to us so don't get all nice to him when he was the one who put us all in this. – I said a bit coldly.
- Kaoru! – dad said in a warning tone.
I rolled my eyes.
- Geez! What he wants to know is who is after you and why, simple as that. – I said looking at Tazuna.
- Kaoru you're such a – Sakura started but Tazuna interrupted her.
- Stop...she's right. – Tazuna said.
- Huh? – Sakura asked confused.
- She's right...I put you all in danger and I'm sorry...I'm sorry for underestimating you and for saying all those things about you. – Tazuna said.
I sighed.
- Look as you had your reasons to lie I also have my reasons to act like this, but anyway you're forgiven. – I said to him calmly.
- Thank you...and I'll tell you what you want to know. – he said.
Tazuna started telling us the reason why he lied and what was his story including making us feel bad for him.
My eye was twitching in annoyance...drunk old man...he's smart after all.
- I guess it can't be helped, we will continue escorting you. – dad said.
- You're too soft. – I said to dad which made him sweatdrop.
- That's good to hear. – Tazuna said.
- I bet it is. – I mumbled.
- We're almost there. – the guy said.
Finally!
- Tazuna, it looks like we haven't been noticed yet. – the guy said.
- Thanks. – Tazuna said to him.
We were now getting out of the boat, it was now my turn when Sakura pushed me and I was about to fall but I never did, I looked up and Sasuke got me.
- T-Thanks. – I said to him blushing a bit.
- N-No problem. – he said.
I looked behind me and Sakura was furious which honestly made me smirk.
With that the guy of the boat left.
- All right, take me home safely. – Tazuna said.
- Hai, hai. – dad said.
We were now walking when Naruto suddenly started throwing kunais saying he was sensing someone...wait...maybe...I started concentrating and didn't pay attention to what they were doing or saying...............................................................there!
- DUCK! – me and dad said in unison.
We all ducked and a sword passed above us and got stuck into a tree and had a person above it..........that's Momoshi Zabuza, I read about him on the bingo book that Itachi gave me.
This isn't good...not even a bit.
Suddenly Naruto started running towards him but dad stopped him.
- You're in the way. Stay back everyone. – dad said.
- Why? – Naruto asked.
- He's way different from the guys we met before. – dad stated.
Dad was now ready to use his sharingan.
- I'm guessing you're Kakashi of the Sharingan, I'm sorry but I'll need you to hand over the old man. – Zabuza said.
Well...at least he's polite.
- Everyone Manji Formation now. Protect Tazuna-san. Don't join the battle. – dad said serious.
I raised an eyebrow...yeah right!
- W-What? – Sakura asked scared.
- To not interfere with the battle and protect Tazuna-san is your mission now. – dad said uncovering his eye.
- I'm honored that I can see the sharingan that I've heard about. – Zabuza said.
Naruto was confused on what sharingan was so Sasuke explained but then a mist started to form...great.
- I have to kill that old man right away. – Zabuza said.
I looked at the 3 and they nodded and did Manji Formation and I walked to dad's side.
- Sorry but that ain't gonna happen. – I said.
- Huh? And who are you? I see you're a jounin by your vest but you're just a kid. – Zabuza said.
- That doesn't concern you. – dad said serious.
I rolled my eyes...geez dad!
- Kaoru stay back and protect the others. – dad ordered.
- Hai, hai. – I said.
- She's obedient, just like a dog. – Zabuza said.
Tch...just wait until I get my hands on you.
- Well it seems I have to defeat you first Kakashi. – Zabuza said.
I was now at Sasuke's side, suddenly Zabuza went to the river and then disappeared...oh c'mon! That ain't fair!
- He'll try to eliminate me first, but... - dad started.
- What is he? – Sakura asked.
- Momoshi Zabuza. He was in the Hidden Village of the Mist Anbu and he's known for his "Silent Killing" techniques. – I said.
- You're well informed, Kaoru. – dad said.
- Silent? – Naruto asked.
- It's a killing technique that's executed in a flash and carried out in absolute silence. – I explained.
- It's possible that you'll be dead before you realize it and I can't use my sharingan to it's fullest potential so don't let your guard down. – dad said.
They were looking at him with eyes wide open.
- Well...if you fail you're only going to die. – dad said.
I smirked.
- YOU'RE SO CAREFREE! – Sakura said.
- The mist is getting thicker! – Naruto stated.
And then we couldn't see dad anymore...great, just great!
Well at least I can sense him.
- SENSEI! – Sakura said scared.
- Calm down! Stay focus all of you. – I said to them and they just nodded slightly.
- 8 points. – we heard.
- What? – Sakura asked.
- Larynx, spine, lungs, liver, jugular vein, collarbone, kidney and heart. Now which vital organ do you want to get struck at? – Zabuza asked.
I walked a bit to stay in front of them and closed my eyes...let's see...but I lost focus when dad made the mist vanish a bit.
Damn it...focus Kaoru...I closed my eyes again and focused on where Zabuza was and didn't pay attention to what was happening outside...............................................................................................................I smirked.
I looked behind and teleported to where he was and concentrated chakra on my foot and kicked his chin.....oh what a shame, it was a water clone.
- Good...but. – Zabuza said.
- KAORU! – dad screamed.
Zabuza swing his sword but I did a back flip and landed smoothly behind him and kicked his back.
- H-How? – Zabuza asked with dad now behind him with a kunai against his neck.
- Don't underestimate her. – dad said serious.
- Who is she? – Zabuza asked dad.
- Hatake Kaoru. – I answered.
- So you have a daughter, huh? Then I'll make sure I'll kill her in front of you. – Zabuza said.
I narrowed my eyes at him.
- This is the end for you. – dad said to him.
- Wow! – Naruto said.
- Is this the end? – Zabuza said laughing.
I narrowed my eyes...what is he up to now?
- You're pretty good. – Zabuza said looking at me.
- However – he said and suddenly turned into water and was behind dad and raised his sword.
I sped there and took dad out of the way but I've got a deep cut on my arm.
- Kaoru! – dad said worried.
- Calm down. It's fine, don't lose focus, don't forget who we're fighting against and that you have students to protect and also the drunk old man. – I said while healing myself.
- Ohh, so you're a medic...interesting. – Zabuza said.
Since I was focused on healing I didn't realize Zabuza came behind us, he kicked me and dad.
- Kaoru! – Sasuke screamed and got me before I hit the tree while dad fell into the water.
- Suiton: Suiro no Jutsu. – Zabuza said.
– Zabuza said
I widened my eyes...this is NOT GOOD!
- This is a special prison that you can't escape from. – Zabuza said.
I narrowed my eyes at him and got up.
- Are you okay? – Sasuke asked me.
I didn't answer...think Kaoru...how can I do this without them discover who I am and what powers I have?
- Now...I'm going to finish you off later, Kakashi. First, I'm going to get rid of them starting by your daughter. – Zabuza said and made a water clone that was now in front of us.
- Do you think those headbands make you a ninja? Ninja refers to – Zabuza started but I interrupted him.
- Shut up. – I said coldly.
- Kaoru listen to me now! Get the team and Tazuna-san and run, it's an order! – dad said.
- SHUT UP! – I said mad.
- KAORU LISTEN TO ME! IT'S AN ORDER STOP BEING STUBBORN! – dad said.
- NO! – I screamed.
- K-Kaoru-chan. – Naruto said.
- Listen carefully all of you. Dad's stuck and I'm a jounin as well so from now on you'll listen to what I say. – I said and they nodded slightly.
- Good. Now, Sakura protect Tazuna. Naruto and Sasuke take dad out of there, I don't care how you do it just find a way and use teamwork. I'm not abandoning anyone! – I said serious.
Naruto and Sasuke came to my side.
.......................
- Let's do this. – I said.
- You're just kids. – Zabuza said and made more clones.
Naruto and Sasuke widened their eyes.
- Sasuke, Naruto snap out of it! Do what I said, I'll deal with the clones. – I said and they nodded.
I started making hand signs.
- Katon: Gouka Mekkyaku! – I said and it went to the clones, with that I gestured to Naruto and Sasuke to hide and prepare to free dad.
- Katon: Gouka Mekkyaku! – I said and it went to the clones, with that I gestured to Naruto and Sasuke to hide and prepare to free dad
The clones came at me...I don't have a choice...I sighed, what a drag!
I closed my eyes and whispered.
- Rai...activate.
The clones were now in front of me and I could feel the energy, the blood thirst.....I smirked.
I opened my eyes and the clones stopped.
- H-How?....T-That's – the clones said.
I sped to them and in a blink of an eye I started to get rid of them one by one.
- Naruto, Sasuke go for it! – I said while fighting the clones.
I started doing hand signs.
- Raiton: Raiju Tsuiga! – I said and the hound attacked all the clones and they turned into water...............done.
I looked to see how the guys were doing and saw that Naruto was on the water and Sasuke on the ground panting and dad was
I looked to see how the guys were doing and saw that Naruto was on the water and Sasuke on the ground panting and dad was.......free...they did it!
I immediately deactivated the Rai mode because it takes a lot of energy and dad can't see it. Zabuza was about to attack Naruto but dad stopped him, I teleported there and took Naruto out of the water and brought him to where Sasuke was.
- Good job guys. I'm proud of you. – I said tired and with a small smile.
Sasuke smirked and Naruto grinned.
Dad was now fighting against Zabuza.
- Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu! – dad said.
- Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu! – dad said
I widened my eyes.
- GUYS HOLD ON! – I screamed since we were going to get caught up in the water vortex.
When it stopped I looked and saw Zabuza leaning against a tree trying to get up.
I took 4 kunais and threw them at Zabuza 2 for the arms and 2 for the legs.
- AHHHH! – he screamed in pain.
I went there and so did dad that was above the tree but out of nowhere needles went to Zabuza's neck................WHAT THE HELL?!
I went to Zabuza's body laid on the ground and checked his pulse.......................................he's dead.....
Dad came to my side.
- He's dead. – I said to him.
- Thank you very much. – a guy above a tree said.
I raised an eyebrow...who is this guy?
- I was looking for a chance to kill Zabuza. – he said.
- That mask...you must be a hunter-nin from the Hidden Village of the Mist. – dad said.
- You're very well informed. – the guy said.
- A hunter-nin? – Naruto said.
- You don't even know what that is?! You should have learned it. – Sakura said and was about to explain but I interrupted her.
- They assassinate exiled ninja. Don't complicate Sakura. Supposedly he's not our enemy, Naruto. – I said still looking at the guy.
- Yes, I'm a hunter-nin. – he said.
.......by his voice...he must have the same age that me.
- WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?! – Naruto screamed.
- Calm down. He's not the enemy. – dad said going towards Naruto.
- THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M ASKING! But...ZABUZA WAS KILLED! He...he was son strong but he was killed so easily by a kid that's not that different from me. We...WE LOOK LIKE IDIOTS! I CAN'T ACCEPT THIS! – Naruto said.
- I understand, but this is real. In this world there are kids who are younger than you and stronger than me. – dad said.
I was still looking at the guy......he's strong.
- Your battle ends here for now. I must go dispose this corpse. – she said coming to where Zabuza's body was, he got it and then.........VANISHED?!
WHAT THE HELL?!
Naruto was now punching the ground furious.
I sighed.
I went to him and stopped him.
- Naruto...stop. – I said calmly.
He was still looking down.
- Things like this happens when you are a ninja. If you don't like it make it up next time. – dad said.
I gave Naruto my hand and he got up.
- Our mission hasn't ended yet. – dad stated.
I was walking towards the others when I started feeling dizzy.
- Kaoru-chan, are you okay? – Naruto asked me.
- Y-Yeah......f-fine.... – I said but then everything went black.
