It was going to be an intense battlefield—two elites facing each other.

Kakashi," Don't worry Guys. I will protect you with my life. I absolutely won't allow my comrades to get killed"

Zabuza said," I don't know about that" with that Zabuza appeared behind Tazuna, who was his target this whole time and swung his demonic sword toward him.

Kakashi, an elite ninja, who was expecting this attack rushed toward Zabuza and stabbed him in the heart with his shuriken before he completed his swing. Everyone can hear the dripping sound on the silent battlefield. Unexcepted to everyone instead of blood, water is dripping from the wound on the Zabuza.

Zabuza," Kakashi I didn't know that you would fall for the water clone jutsu" with that he swung his demonic sword and split Kakashi into two.

But it seems Kakashi was also a water clone. Zabuza before realizing what was going on, a shuriken was placed near his neck.

Kakashi," Don't move. It's over"

Zabuza who was in a disadvantageous position started laughing in his demonic voice.

Zabuza," Did you say it's over? You don't understand, do you? You won't be able to beat me just by making me like a monkey. no chance."

continuing with the demonic laugh

Zabuza," But, I must say you are good. My water clone jutsu was being copied at that point. By letting the clone talk as if it were you, you succeeded in distracting me. And used Hidden Mist Jutsu to hide yourself to see what I was doing. But you see... I was not a fool"

With that, another Zabuza appeared behind Kakashi. The clone turns into water. It seems the one talking this whole time was a water clone. Kakashi was shocked to the core. He thought his plan was foolproof. But it seems he has underestimated Zabuza a little bit.

Naruto was surprised," He was also fake"

All the other members who were watching these two jonin fight on the edge of their seats. Every minute was like what was going to happen next. Hina who was also watching this in a real-life scenario was also excited ( Waku Waku ).

Zabuza from behind swung his demonic sword. But Kakashi at the last minute was able to duck. But there was another incoming attack. Kakashi was not able to defend himself against this kick. He got himself flew a few meters away.

Sasuke," His taijutsu was really good"

But Hina's thought was like 'Not good enough to defend Guy Sensei though!"

Zabuza didn't stop there. He moved fast towards the place Kakashi landed. But he saw Makibishi spikes along the way ( it was used to stop enemy purses). It seems like Kakashi entered the river for temporary protection. Zabuza also entered the river. And before anyone realizes Kakashi was trapped inside the ball of water called Water prison. It seems Kakashi has fallen into the trap of demonic Zabuza.

Kakashi," My temporary escape into the water was a grave mistake"

Zabuza started to laugh.

Zabuza," You're caught. It's a special prison that is impossible for you to escape. It makes things harder having you able to act. Now Kakashi... I will have to settle things with you later. First I will finish off those guys"

With that Zabuza's attention turned toward the Tazuna and Kakashi's team members.

Zabuza," Water Clone Jutsu" with that created a clone of himself with water.

Kakashi," You guys take Tazuna and run away. This 'Water Prison Jutsu' needs the users to constantly supply chakra. So his original body can't move. If you guys run to a certain distance Water Clone cant follow since it cant be separated from the original for a long distance. This is the best choice in this situation."

Sasuke," I think we guys should attack instead of running which is currently close to impossible."

Hina," I also think the same. Naruto you join with Sasuke to attack Zabuza while I protect Tazuna."

Naruto," Leave it to us sister." with that he adjusted his headband which is the most precious thing to him.

Zabuza," You brats think you can defeat me. It's the best joke I ever heard. In my opinion, you guys can't even be called shinobi. Shinobi is a person who went through so many life-and-death situations. Of course, they should have also learned to kill. You brats let me tell you about the examination I went through to become shinobi. I killed 100 of my classmates who I eat and sleep with every day. That was a wonderful day. Haha....."

It was absolute horror. They can't believe such a cruel and evil examination exit. There was a slight fear that can be traced in Naruto and Sasuke's faces.

Hina went to Naruto and Sasuke and slapped their faces hard...

Hina," Guys focus. There is no use in being feared. Either we return or die today so get your nerves together."

Naruto and Sasuke after their slap seem to realize something. Both Naruto and Sasuke nodded their head and communicate with their eyes something.

Naruto," Sister leave this matter to me. Today isn't the day we are going to die. Isn't it right Sasuke?"

Sasuke," Yes. Let's show him what brats can do"

Hina was relieved after seeing their face. Even though she knows what comes next she couldn't help but encourage them.

Hina," Go ahead and be a badass" with that she showed thump up to both Naruto and Sasuke.

Naruto and Sasuke," yes"

Sasuke was the first one to attack with a shuriken in his hands but he had beaten up easily by the Zabuza.

Then Naruto used his Multi-Shadow clone jutsu to surround the Zabuza with his numerous clones. Zabuza for one second got amazed by the number of clones. All clones jumped onto the Zabuza and held him for a second but Zabuza freed him easily from that also. The situation looks dire. Naruto got thrown away and his clones all vanished with smoke. While Naruto was being thrown away he got his Demon Wind Shuriken from the bag thrown it towards Sasuke.

Sasuke who caught the Demon Wind Shuriken seems to realize something and laughed slightly.

Zabuza laughed," Do you think just because you got demon Wind Shuriken you can defeat me"

Sasuke didn't care about it. He jumped high in the air and throw the Demon Wind Shuriken with his full strength toward Zabuza. Water Clone didn't do much. He just waited for the Shuriken to come near him but to his surprise, the trajectory got changed suddenly, and went for the real Zabuza.

Sasuke's plan seems to be simple. Attack the original body. When the original body tries to deal with the shuriken, the Chakra flow to the Water prison will be cut for a couple of seconds. kakashi will use this chance to escape. One of the Zabuza's left hand was out of play since it was the one that was supplying chakra to maintain the water prison.

Zabuza," Nice plan brats. But it's not going to happen"

with that, he caught the Demon Wind Shuriken with ease with the right hand. But the moment he caught the shuriken he realized something. To his surprise, another shuriken was coming to him at bullet speed. The second was coming forming his blind spot.

Zabuza," A shuriken in the shuriken's shadow. This is.... The Shuriken Shadow Jutsu!!!!!!"

Both of his hands are out of use. If he used his chakra to defend himself from the shuriken then Kakashi will escape. It seems Zabuza didn't expect this from the brats.

Zabuza got tensed for a second as the Demon wind Shuriken was approaching him. Naruto and Sasuke got slightly eased as it seems they were about to succeed in their plan.

But when the shuriken got close to him he jumped high enough to escape the Demon Wind Shuriken. It was a close call. Zabuza felt like they were too naive.

In contrast to all this Sasuke laughed. The missed shuriken after a small distance changed into Naruto!!!

Everyone was surprised. None of them except Hina who expected this.

Naruto who got suddenly changed from Demon Wind Shuriken aimed the shuriken in his hand towards the original body of Zabuza. Zabuza didn't seem to have time to react to this since the distance was too close.

At last minute when Zabuza was about to use his hand to defend which in turn will release Kakashi.

But the shuriken was deflected by another shuriken that came out of nowhere. Everybody including Hina was shocked.

Suddenly a new figure came to visible. He has a mask on his face.

Zabuza," Haku"

Haku," Zabuza same it seems you let your guard down"

Zabuza," Well I didn't expect the orange brat to turn himself into second Demon Wind Shuriken and hid himself with the Shuriken Shadow Jutsu. It was a really good Foolproof plan. Don't you accept it, Haku?"

Haku," That's some hardcore thinking"

Hina on the other side petrified. This is not supposed to happen. Did I miss any in-between episodes in my previous life?

Naruto and Sasuke were shaking without knowing what to do.
