Team 7 arrived at Tazuna's home where his daughter Tsunami promptly put out a bed for Kakashi to rest on as well as treating Umiko's wounds, they rested for a while before Sasuke and Naruto joined them.

~Umiko~

"That kid with the mask, just who was he?"Naruto asked "He was a tracker from the mist village, those mask are only worn by the most elite ninja"Kakashi explained "Huh?"Naruto asked again not getting it, i sighed a bit shaking my head as Kakashi went on to explain more about the ANBU and how they operate.

"Alright but why did that kid took the body with him then?"Naruto asked, i rolled my eyes "It's obvious he actually wasn't an ANBU from the Mist, the timing in his arrival, from what you told me was too perfect, that and he used needles, even in the hands of an expert their not exactly the deadliest weapon, it's fine for a stealth kill if you know what you're doing but with what you told me, the best way in that scenario would of been to cut off Zabuza's head"i said.

"That's right, which means Zabuza isn't dead"Kakashi said, Naruto was actually excited to hear he could get another shot at Zabuza, though it was more likely Zabuza would take another shot at me i zoned out for a bit though thinking about what Zabuza told me "If you want to know more just use this"he had said and handed me a scroll which i still had in my pouch with all my other equipment.

I got up and decided to head out, i wanted to know more "Umiko where are you going?"Kakashi asked "You said we need more training, i'm going out to get even more training"i said "Alright just come back before dinner"he said, i nodded and left.

"Is that really okay? Will she be fine on her own?"Tsunami asked after Umiko had left "It's fine, she's a ninja she can take care of herself"Kakashi said "Why does she get to train on her own and we need your help?"Naruto asked pouting and crossing his arms "It's simple really she paid attention in school, that and i've been training her since she got to the academy"Kakashi said 'No wonder she's so strong' Sasuke thought looking at the door.

~Umiko~

I found a spot in the forest and laid out the scroll, i did the summoning jutsu and from a puff of smoke Zabuza appeared "Tell me everything"i demanded, he chuckled a bit and sat down crossing his legs "Listen up, this will take a while"he said, he then went on to tell me how he and Kisame first met, they became fast friends which surprised me, i knew of the seven swordsmen of the mist and none of them seemed the type to be friends.

Well it seemed i was wrong as Zabuza told me most of the swordsmen got along pretty well, him and Kisame got along especially well, anyway he also went on to tell me how he introduced his sister to Kisame, which surprised me even more, Zabuza had a sister? Since when? Well as he told me since a year after he was born, Zabuza continued to tell me how Kisame and his sister Nami got together and eventually formed a relationship and eventually got married.

Then almost right after that like a few weeks after they got married, Nami and Kisame defected the mist village and disappeared, the last he heard of from his sister was a letter that had appeared in his room which he handed to me and a picture of her and the last he heard of Kisame he had joined the Akatsuki.

After that Zabuza disappeared and the scroll burned leaving no trace behind, i then read the letter "Zabuza as you read this i am dead and just like our mother i died in childbirth, i found out before Kisame and i defected and it is the reason why we did so, neither of us wanted our daughter Umiko to suffer in the hands of the blood mist village, i suppose that's all i had to say, oh congratulations on becoming an uncle, love you, your dear sister Nami"

The picture which Zabuza had also given me was of his sister, right away i could see the resemblance, this woman is my mother and my father is Kisame Hoshigaki.

After a good few minutes of processing this new info i met up with Sasuke, Naruto and Kakashi and joined them on their training, i was still thinking about what i had learned though the picture secure in my pouch, i wasn't sad about not knowing my mother, i never knew her so how can i be sad? Anyway now that i knew who my dad was i set a goal to meet him.

Anyway Naruto, Sasuke and I climbed some trees for training, though i've already done this and water walking it's important to keep even the most basic skill sharp "Umiko, come here"Kakashi said calling me over, i wondered what it was about but went over "I think you might be able to handle all your chakra now, the hokage does so too, as soon as we get back we're unsealing that limiter"he told me.

"Really? You both think i'm ready to handle that?"i asked excited but a little apprehensive, Kakashi nodded smiling at me "Don't worry about it, i believe in you"he said and ruffled my hair, i smiled and nodded before going back to training.

~skip~

A week or so later we went to the bridge, without Naruto since he slept in, that lazy ass, mist had covered the bridge, Zabuza and the masked kid appeared, round two started as Zabuza summoned a bunch of water clones, Sasuke easily took care of them and the masked boy Zabuza had called Haku attacked him and trapped him in a dome of crystal ice.

I went to attack the outside but my kunai was repelled by another one from Zabuza "We have some unfinished business girly"he said, i glared "Stay back Umiko protect Tazuna, i'll handle him"Kakashi said stepping infront of me and the two started going at it.

I huffed a bit but decided to stick close to Tazuna and think of a way to deal with the crystal mirrors, it was clear these weren't normal ice mirrors but a flame hot enough should melt them regardless, problem was i don't know any fire style jutsu.

Then Naruto appeared at some point and snuck inside the ice dome, again i couldn't really tell what was going on in there but i was still trying to figure out a way to get them out, from the sound of it whatever was going on wasn't good, Kakashi and Zabuza had started fighting too but i couldn't do anything except sit here and think while protecting Tazuna, escort missions are the worst.

Then a burst of chakra pure anger in nature came from the ice dome, i wondered what in the world had such massive chakra, even more then me, and why was it so angry? Regardless of my questions the ice dome shattered as Haku came flying out of it with Naruto following him, i couldn't quite hear what they were talking about when a sound from the right side distracted me.

It sounded like a thousand tiny birds and i knew this sound well, i saw Zabuza being held down by Kakashi's dogs, i figured out right away what was going on, everything seemed to go in slow motion as Kakashi ran towards Zabuza, Lightning Blade in hand, i didn't know what came over me as i ran over but Haku got there first and was ran through by Kakashi.

~Third~

Zabuza didn't seem to care though as he went to slice through Haku to get to Kakashi with his sword, which was probably retrieved by Haku, Kakashi jumped back taking Haku with him and putting the dead boy down "You'll pay for that!"Naruto yelled "No stay out of this Naruto this is my battle, Zabuza is mine!"Kakashi told him.

Since the fog was lifting Umiko looked back and saw Sasuke laying there seemingly dead, she went over with Tazuna following her and checked on him, as Zabuza attacked Kakashi and they started the fight again "Umiko"Naruto went to say she just smiled at him "It's fine Naruto, he's still alive"she said "Wait what? How? Really?"he asked looking back.

"These needles haven't actually hit anything vital, Sasuke will be coming back around in a bit" Umiko said and stayed there taking the needles out of Sasuke, meanwhile as Kakashi and Zabuza fought, the latter had started to slow down but he wasn't done yet, Kakashi again went to finish Zabuza but Zabuza swung his sword forcing Kakashi to jump back.

The sword flew to the other side of the bridge and then Gato appeared with a gang of thugs, but we're gonna ignore him and what he says and does because he doesn't matter in the slightest, anyway it was clear to Zabuza he wasn't needed by Gato anymore and so he was quick to switch sides, Zabuza borrowed a kunai from Naruto and glanced back at Umiko who had been staying back at Sasuke's side.

"Hey girly!"Zabuza called and Umiko hummed in response hearing him out "Take good care of my sword will ya?"he asked "I promise!"Umiko told him and ran over to the giant sword and holding on to it, Zabuza then ran into the mob killing anyone he could by moving his head until he reached Gato who had ran to the back and slicing the head off the midget.

The thugs still wanted a fight though but then the villagers came over ready to fight them off but Kakashi and Naruto scared them off with shadow clones.
