"Eat this!" Naruto threw a kunai at Zabuza. I watched as Zabuza had no choice but to let go of the water prison containing Kakashi.

My smile grew. Well Zabuza wasn't happy with Naruto at the moment. He spun the giant shuriken and was ready to throw it at Naruto. He was so enraged he forgot about Kakashi.

Kakashi stood atop the water and blocked the shuriken. And Kakashi was just as pissed as Zabuza. While everyone was distracted, I threw shuriken at the water clone that immediately disappeared. I sighed in relief and sunk to my knees. With Kakashi out, it's up to him to stop Zabuza.

I'm counting on you Kakashi-sensei. I smiled at my brother who told us about his plan. I have to admit, he's grown without me even noticing. He still has a long way to go though. But, he's growing every day.

And his and Sasuke's teamwork improved drastically. They worked flawlessly together and they didn't even need words.

I couldn't help but feel pride well up in my chest from those two. So the battle between the real Zabuza and Kakashi was about to start. "Miyuna, can you stand?" Sasuke asked.

I looked up to his dark eyes and wobbly stood. I was panting a bit, but I wasn't going to back down when my brother just showed me up. So I nodded and Sasuke, Sakura, and I stood protectively around Tazuna. The corners of my vision were blurry. I was drained and wouldn't be much in a fight.

My juice has run out.

Zabuza brought the shuriken down more on Kakashi's hand plate. I could smell a bit of his blood. After a second of struggling Kakashi flung the shuriken far away, becoming lost in the mist.

They both jumped away from each other.

My eyes widened as Zabuza started to chant the hand signs he was performing. Soon, Kakashi also did the same and was catching up. I could see their chakra's swirl and build up. At the last hand sign, they both finished at the same time and the water formed two dragons.

"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!" Zabuza and Kakashi said at the same time. The two dragons went to attack the other opponent and wiped each other out.

A giant wave of water erupted from this and hit the land where we stayed. My eyes widened as it hit us. Because I was weak, it carried me away and I screamed.

A hand caught my wrist and brought me to Sasuke's chest. "Hold on." He grunted and I did just that.

The water subsided and I was safe from drowning and we continued to watch the dragons fight each other. As the dragons were at each other's throat, so were Zabuza and Kakashi.

We watched in awe. This was incredible!

I caught a whiff of the chakra that smelled of flowers. I turned fast and saw a boy in a tree with a Tracker Nin mask on.

He looked from the scene to me.

What is with him? The commotion from the scene made me look away. Kakashi wasn't just following; he's doing it the same time as Zabuza.

How is that possible? Then Kakashi copied his words and other hand signs. He even finished before him! A water vortex! More water came up on the land and I grabbed onto Sasuke to keep from being swept away. However it wasn't enough and I slipped.

I screamed. "Sasuke!" I moved with the water. Sasuke turned towards me. "Miyu!" I went under and choked as the water entered my lungs. Crap! Should have learned how to overcome water before going to the Land of Waves.

Just when I thought it was all over, a hand grabbed my wrist and pulled me out of the water. I immediately used my other hand to hold onto the stranger and coughed up the water.

After coughing for a while, I looked up to see the Tracker Nin. "Y-you?" I said weakly. My body was weak. I couldn't move much. The boy noticed and picked me up bridal style before jumping in the trees. Luckily I wasn't too injured to black out.

So I watched as he stopped on a tree branch behind my team. Zabuza was against a tree. The Tracker Nin threw senbon needles at Zabuza and I gasped.

Zabuza fell, lifeless on the ground.

The others looked up towards us. The boy holding me chuckled. "You were right, it was his last battle." The others stared at the boy in shock. "Miyu!" Naruto yelled.

Kakashi jumped in front of Zabuza. His eyes went to me, to the boy, and then he checked the pulse of Zabuza. "No vital signs." He sighed, and then looked up at us.

The boy bowed. "Thank you. I've been tracking Zabuza for a long time. Waiting for this chance to finally take him down."

I smelt him. I think he's lying. But I'm not too good at it and I may be paranoid. After all, he saved me.

So I'm going to ignore it. "By your mask I can see you're a Tracker Ninja from the Village Hidden in the Mist."

"Impressive. You're well informed." Then Sakura started talking about the lesson of Tracker Ninja. Yeah, sure, don't mind you're teammate who's in the arms of an unknown foe. Yeah, he could be a psycho but don't mind me. I'm sure I'll die either way, whether it'd be painful or not.

Some team.

"That's correct. I'm a member of an elite tracking unit of the Village Hidden in the Mist. It's my duty to track down Zabuza."

I looked at the boys mask. He seems like he's our age. But he's an elite assassin.

Naruto ran up to us. He looked between us and Zabuza. He looked mad. "Hey you! Put my sister down! Who do you think you are?!"

Naruto. "Did you hear me?!" he seemed so mad.

"Naruto calm down. He's not our enemy." Kakashi warned. He's right. He killed Zabuza and saved me. He couldn't possibly be our enemy. He could have let Zabuza live and fight. He could have let me drown. But he didn't.

So why is Naruto so upset? "That's not the point! Did you see what he did?! Zabuza was huge and powerful like some kind of monster. And this kid no bigger than me brought him down in one move like it was nothing!"

"Naruto!" I shouted to get his attention. He looked up at me. "There will always be people younger and stronger than most. They can be different. There are kids younger than us and stronger than Kakashi and Zabuza. In this world, age doesn't matter. They are stronger, smarter, and far more courageous depending on how they grow up. It's all different everywhere."

He stared up at me. The boy and I turned into wind and appeared in front of Zabuza's body. The boy handed me over to Sasuke and went back to Zabuza and placed Zabuza's arm over his shoulder.

"You're struggle is over. I must deal with the remains. There are many secrets in this body. They must not be allowed to get into the wrong hands. If I were you, I'd treat the girls and your sensei's wounds. Farewell."

Then he vanished with the wind. Kakashi pulled his headband over his sharingan eye. Naruto seemed so mad and he began hitting the ground. Saying he's nothing.

I squirmed in Sasuke's grip until he put me down and walked over.

I bent down and placed my hand on his shoulder. "Naruto, it's alright. All you can do is train and become stronger."

He swatted my hand and pushed me away. I fell on my butt and stared at him in shock as he continued to punch the ground.

"Naruto!" Kakashi yelled. I stared at my brother in disbelief. He-he pushed me. The shock disappeared and sadness crossed. Then anger.

I stood and punched my brother with normal strength. He fell down hard and rubbed his cheek before staring at me in shock and mild anger. "W-what was that for?!"

I glared at him. "Shut up!" he jumped in surprise.

"You need to stop moping around like you're useless. If you are worthless then it's your own fault. You have no one else to blame! You can't just bitch and moan about things others cannot control. You want to be strong?! Then you train and become stronger! You want to become Hokage?! Then you're going to need to train, make yourself stronger, and study. We can't control your strength and growth! We can't mold you into the perfect ninja. All we can do is stay with you and be there with you for your struggles. But you are the one that is responsible for who you turn out to be."

He blinked and there were tears of frustration at the corner of his eyes.

I just stood there as he glared at the ground before standing.  He wiped his eyes. "You're right. I'm sorry Miyu."

I smiled and hugged him. We separated and turned. "Well we better get going!" I cheered.

Kakashi nodded. "Let's get a move on." Kakashi said and started walking. However he stopped and fell over.

"Kakashi!" I yelled. I ran over to him and turned him over on his back. He was knocked out. He must have over used his sharingan.

I sighed in relief. "He'll be fine. He just overused the sharingan. Naruto, Sasuke, you'll need to carry him to Tazuna's." They nodded and picked up our unconscious sensei before continuing our journey.

I wonder . . . if everything is truly over. I read that Tracker Ninjas only need to take the head back. Did he only do that so we didn't see the decapitation? Or is he truly on our side?
