Chapter 47: Naruto : Chapter 47
"Huh? What is he talking about? You killed that ninja, Naruto." Sakura asked.
"Don't give up sensitive information, Sakura." Naruto hissed back.
"Wait, the blond brat killed Meizu? No way. Meizu was a chunin and in a team with Gozu really dangerous." Zabuza exclaimed.
"Release." Naruto just quietly said, letting his resistance seals go completely.
"Ah, so these are not your normal genin? Or Meizu was just careless. Would make sense." Zabuza pondered.
...
He jumped from his position on the sword, taking the sword with him in the action and landed on the water.
"Hidden Mist jutsu." He said, creating a field of mist.
"No, not like this." Naruto said and flew through a bunch of seals himself. "Wind release. Spring gale." He declared and a strong gust of wind came up and blew the mist away.
"There is no way I let him use his silent killing technique." Naruto said.
Kakashi nodded, rushing at the revealed Zabuza.
"Annoying blond brat. Doesn't he like to wear his chunin vest?" Zabuza asked, taking on Kakashi openly now.
"He isn't chunin yet. But that will only be the case until the next exams." Kakashi said.
"No way that brat is a genin. I mean, what kind of games is Konoha playing?" He attacked with his sword, intent on cutting Kakashi in two. "That boy is a sensor, can use wind element and obviously did his homework. Why is he still genin?"
"That is nothing you should worry about. I'm your opponent." Kakashi said and countered every single attack Zabuza used.
Both jonin used tricks, clones, replacements and ferocious taijutsu to get the advantage against the other. Then Zabuza got in a kick, Kakashi flew towards the water, but threw a bunch of Makibishi nails on the ground to stop Zabuza from pursuing.
He righted himself in the air and landed easily on the water. But as soon as he landed, the water sprang up, trapping him in a sphere of water.
"Now I have you." Zabuza said. "And your little team won't have any chance against me, once you're dealt with. As long as they didn't make it into my bingo book, they're not worth being called ninja. When I was their age, I already had massive amounts of blood on my hands."
While Sakura especially was shocked, Naruto and Sasuke remained calm and concentrated.
Kakashi looked for a method to get out of here. He could use lightning element to fry Zabuza, but that would also weaken himself and he didn't know if the jutsu was kept by a water clone or Zabuza himself. But obviously he needed worry. Naruto was again taking action.
"Shadow clone jutsu." He said and posted twenty clones around Tazuna, Sasuke and Sakura.
"Keep watch while I get Kakashi sensei out." Naruto said.
Sasuke nodded. He knew that if one of them had a chance to get their sensei out of the water sphere it would be Naruto. As much as he hated being second best to the blond. And then Naruto disappeared faster then he ever did before.
Zabuza just had time to parry the hit with the tanto the blond was wielding.
"Fast." He brought out.
"This is nothing." Naruto said and vanished again.
Zabuza was now concerned and made ten water clones. But only ten seconds after he had made them, they were destroyed and the water splashed back into the lake he was standing upon. And he couldn't see anything. Damn, that brat was faster than most jonin.
He needed to evade a fast flurry of strikes with that damned tanto which was seemingly chakra conducting and channelled the blond's wind chakra. And the blond knew how to use it. He barely managed to keep up the water prison.
But when he glimpsed back he saw Kakashi not being inside anymore, but a cloud of smoke. Instead Kakashi and the blond brat stood opposite of each other, going through a chain of handseals each.
"Water release: Water dragon jutsu." They both exclaimed and two water dragons raced at Zabuza.
He just managed to dodge the two dragons, cursing under his breath. That wasn't part of the plan. Going up against two jonin. And one of them obviously a speed devil.
He now was at a massive disadvantage. While he could take on Kakashi while utilizing his silent killing technique, the blond made that jutsu useless. Additionally you couldn't underestimate a sharingan. Kakashi was famous for a reason. But now Kakashi seemed to have another idea how to take him out.
He went through a few different seals. The blond was covering the way to the land where his shadow clones and the other two were protecting the bridge builder. He needed back-up. He had hoped to keep Haku out of this, but it didn't seem to be possible. He gave a secret signal that told Haku to intervene.
"Lightning release: Lightning torrent." Kakashi exclaimed.
"Ice release: Ice dome." Another voice sounded and a dome of ice appeared around Zabuza and a second figure.
"So you had an accomplice hidden. I wondered it he really was a Kiri hunter nin, but that answers that question." Naruto said.
"So you knew. Well, nothing else to be expected from a sensor type." Zabuza said, glad that Haku had blocked the attack.
"Haku, take out the blond. I'll take Kakashi." Zabuza said.
Haku nodded.
"Naruto, stop holding back and go all out." Kakashi ordered.
"You sure?" Naruto asked.
"Yes. if Zabuza trusts this ninja to have his back, you can be sure he is strong." Kakashi said.
"Understood, sensei." Naruto said.
Haku attacked Naruto fast, but Naruto was faster. While Haku went at high chunin speed, Naruto could go high jonin speed. Both boys peppered the other with senbons, shuriken and kunai.
Naruto deflected all of the ones sent his way, but Haku was hit a few times. None of the senbons managed to hit a vital area, but Naruto knew the poison would soon do its job.
"Ice release: One thousand needles of death." Haku said. Creating a dome of ice needles that shot at Naruto.
"Water release: Water encampment wall." Naruto countered the move and the needles just managed to be caught in the barrier of water.
"So you're a water element too." Haku said.
"You know that I can use both wind and water, but ice I've never seen. A bloodline limit?" Naruto guessed.
"Indeed. Which means you have no chance to win against me." Haku said. "Ice release: demonic ice mirrors."
A dome of ice mirrors surrounded Naruto and the water under him froze as well. He looked around and saw Haku in all of the mirrors.
"Now you are doomed. Not even Zabuza Sama can break this jutsu." Haku confidently said.
"We will see, Haku." Naruto replied calmly. Then he was attacked from all sides by senbons. He deflected most, but some got stuck in his legs.
"A speed technique. You switch positions from one mirror to the other faster than I can see. But it's no time space ninjutsu." Naruto analysed.
Haku was shocked and without the hunter nin mask Naruto would have seen it on his face. How could he analyse the jutsu so quickly?
"Wind release: Great breakthrough." Naruto said and not only blew away the next barrage of senbons, but also managed to make a dent into the mirror.
"Chakra strengthens the mirrors. That must cost you a shitload of chakra to keep up." Naruto commented.
"That doesn't matter, Naruto. Before I run out of chakra, you'll be dead. So you should just give up and hand over the old man. It would save your and your team's lives." Haku offered.
"No, thanks, Haku. I'd never just give up a mission because things get a little bit complicated. The last jutsu was just a test run. Now I know that my other jutsu can break these mirrors." He stated confidently.
"Not even Zabuza Sama could get out of here." Haku said.
"Well, then you'll just have to see if you don't believe me." Naruto said and concentrated chakra in his hand before he threw a three pronged kunai at a mirror and disappeared. "Rasengan." He exclaimed and pushed the spinning ball at the mirror.
The mirror resisted exactly five seconds before rips appeared on the surface and it finally broke into pieces. Naruto used his normal high speed to reach the other mirrors and soon the whole dome was in shards.
"Impossible." Haku whispered but was soon forced to dodge Naruto's sword attacks.
Meanwhile Zabuza was losing his cool in Kakashi's game of copy the demon. He completely brought Zabuza out of his cool and in the end he nailed him with a giant waterfall jutsu and pinned him to a tree with kunai.
"Can you see the future?" Zabuza asked annoyed.
"Yes, and your future is death." Kakashi said, ramming the kunai into Zabuza's chest.
He heard an outcry of pain out on the lake and when he turned around, he saw Naruto had also ended his fight. A minute later he was walking towards the shore, carrying a bound opponent on his shoulder.
"Any problems, Naruto?" Kakashi asked.
"Not really, Kakashi sensei. But his demonic ice mirrors afforded a bit more power than I originally had thought to break." Naruto answered.
