Naruko snored slightly as she and the others on her team traveled by boat to the land of waves.
"How can she actually sleep through all this?" Haruto asked.
"Oh there's plenty of reasons." Anko said with a grin making Haruto chuckle.
"Yeah, well time for her to wake up." Haruto said, flipping her into the water, making her shriek.
"What the hell!" Naruko yelled, making everyone burst out laughing.
"Time to wake up sleeping beauty." Haruto said with a grin making Naruko growl before getting back in the boat.
"I'm going to get back at you for that." Naruko said, making Haruto snicker.
Soon they made it to land and started walking to Tazuna's house. While they were walking Naruko felt as if they were being watched and threw a Kunai into the bushes and nearly hit a white rabbit.
"This little guy doesn't belong here." Naruko said, sensing the area. Just then a giant blade came swirling at them making everyone get to the ground to avoid it, and it hit a tree and someone landed on it.
"What the?" Anko said.
"Zabuza Momochi, the demon of the hidden mist and one of the legendary ninja swordsmen, correct?" Haruto said, making Zabuza chuckle in amusement.
"Well well, seems I'm known to the younger generation. Wait a second, I know you. You're one of the Dragon clan members, correct? Those eyes are a trait of your clan." Zabuza said, seeing his yellow slitted eyes.
"Got that right." Haruto said standing up and took out his own personal sword. This blade was one from ancient times long before ninja existed known as a Daedric blade, a great sword one that required two hands to use.
"Haruto, you and the others protect Tazuna, I'll handle this." Kakashi said, moving his headband from his left eye showing a red eye with three tomoes.
"Wait a second, why does Kakashi have my clans eye?" Satsuki asked.
"His old Teammate, Obito, gave it to him during the third ninja war before he died." Anko said knowing the story.
"Oh so that's why they call him the copy ninja. He can actually read a person's Jutsu and predict what they are about to do before, even if it's Nin or Gen jutsu. However if it's Taijutsu you can't tell what it is till after it's been performed then copy." Haruto said.
"Very observant boy." Zabuza said.
But unfortunately to someone not born in the clan it's a double edged sword. It looks like he has to cover his eye constantly otherwise his chakra gets drained faster and he can't use certain abilities with it due to not having the clan's blood in him. Haruto thought in his head.
Just then a mist covered the area.
"Oh great." Haruto said, looking through the mist and found Zabuza. "Oh no you don't." Haruto said, stomping on the ground and a chunk of the ground shot up and forced Zabuaza back a few feet.
"So he can see me with his eyes now, can he? I guess his clan's abilities aren't over exaggerated after all." Zabuza said silently.
"Haruto keeps a close eye on him. Your eyes are the only thing that can sense his presence with this mist in the way." Kakashi said.
"Not exactly true since he wasn't using jutsu to cover himself from being seen at that time." Haruto said, looking through the mist. "Strange, I feel as if another presence is here but I can't see who it is." Haruto said silently.
"Look out!" Haruto yelled stomping on the ground again just as Zabuza was about to strike Tazuna from the air and a dome of earth was made protecting him.
"Ok kid, since you can tell what my moves will be I'll deal with you first." Zabuza said before he noticed a ball of fire heading towards him and quickly dodged it. Then Naruko quickly formed a giant hand out of the earth made of wood. "WHAT! Wood Style?" Zabuza said in shock before he was pushed up against a tree and he dissolved into water.
"Crap!" Naruko yelled before Zabuza got behind her and was about to strike her down. Hey Kurama, how about a little help. Naruko said in her head and heard an amused chuckle. Zabuza's eyes widened when a red glowing cloak appeared around her and quickly canceled his attack and jumped away.
"You can't be serious, a jinchuuriki here of all places?" Zabuza said in shock. Now he didn't see her as a demon since the third was one as well but he knew they were never to be taken lightly no matter how strong or weak they are.
"You should have run away when you had the chance, Zabuza." Kakashi said, forming hand signs. "Water Style giant vortex Jutsu!" Kakashi said forming a Water vortex from the water close by, and it washed Zabuza away with ease and was then stabbed by a few Kunai. "You're finished." Kakashi said about to finish him till two Senbon came out of nowhere and struck Zabuza by the neck.
"Huh?" Haruto said confused till he spotted a ninja with a mask on his face. "Oh so that explains what the other presence I felt was. You're a tracker ninja correct?" Haruto asked.
"Yes, I had been hunting Zabuza for some time and I thank you for taking him down." The tracker ninja said, jumping down and took the body away. "I shall dispose of the body myself and return the sword back to the village." The tracker ninja said, vanishing in a swirl of wind.
"Hmm something isn't right." Naruko said.
"What do you mean?" Haruto asked.
"I know Tracker Ninja hunt down rogue ninja from their villages but the timing was just too convenient." Naruko said.
"We'll worry about it later because I think Kakashi is…" Haruto tried to say but said teacher passed out on the ground. "Exhausted." Haruto finished sighing as the two of them helped him up.
"Well, at least we won't have to worry about anymore thugs Gato sends after you old man." Haruto said.
Meanwhile…
The Tracker ninja was the girl who had listened to Zabuza and Gato about the group of ninja assigned to protect Gato.
The tracker ninja was named Haku and was actually blushing from seeing Naruko since she was bisexual and her entire appearance made her blush.
"I hope the next time we meet it will be under more private circumstances." The girl thought before moving to a secure area to heal Zabuza.
