The two remaining ninja before the woman were shocked, they didn't assume that lady Kushina would have a child, she was beautiful so she could easily get one of a husband. but they just knew that she left Konoha because she had nothing left...

"Your highness... he's your son?" Zabuza asked concerned making her nod sadly as she looked out the window. "You are my more trusted of allies... I suppose you should know." She waved her hand to the table to sit as she walked towards the chair and sat down as well.

"As you know I was the jinchuriki of the kyuubi... and on October tenth.. twelve years ago... I was with my husband having a baby... but there was a problem.... someone attacked my husband while I had my son... the man extracted the kyuubi from me and told me he was going to destroy the village... but then I passed out... I woke up about a day later and was informed by a Anbu that my son and Husband died..."

Kushina bit her lip as she spoke. "The Anbu was one of the Hokages trusted... and someone I trusted dearly as well... Kakashi Hatake." Haku's eyes widened at that piece of information and stood up quickly "Lady Kushina! The jonin with your son was him!"

Kushina narrowed her eyes at that and put a hand to her chin curiously. "Something isn't right... Kakashi has always been the best considering who my husband was... he even wanted to be my sons bigger brother.. or so he said.."

She looked out the window in anxiousness, she felt a slight pull towards the edge of the island in her mind and looked towards the swordsmen. "They are here... Zabuza, go, do not kill the bridge builder and hold back your strength, let him win... but I want all the information you can give me... Gato is worthless to us now... and if you can get my son then all the better..." She turned towards the young girl.

"Haku you too, you will give Zabuza the out of his defeat..." Kushina turned around and looked toward the window one last time and gave a smile, "Then I have another favor to ask from you."

...

As soon as Naruto's feet hit the island he had a chill run up his spine. The fog was very unnatural to the land... especially the traces of chakra throughout the fog... Like it was put there. Sakura was next and got off and looked concerned towards Naruto. She didn't feel any different towards him after the arm, yes it was very unnatural, but it wasn't his fault it was his bloodline... 

Sasuke got off and looked outwards towards the sea once more. His reaction to the arm was somewhat of a calculated look. He wanted to know what that bloodline could do, if he was powerful perhaps it would be best to keep the dobe around.

Kakashi looked towards the boat man and waved him off as he got off. His reaction was unidentifiable to many besides that he kept watching Naruto carefully like a predator waiting to jump on the prey...

Tazuna turned around towards the four and waved them to follow him, and so they did... Walking around in the fog felt like every turn could be their last... until the smallest movement in the bush made Naruto grab a Kunai from his bag and fling it towards the bush.

Sakura jumped at this but grabbed a Kunai from her pouch as Kakashi went over to the bush and moved the little shrub of leaves over to reveal a very frightened bunny, and if he hopped once more a Kunai lay in the tree ready to hit it.

"Well done dobe, you almost killed a bunny." Sasuke rolled his eyes while Naruto sighed in relief. "But I thought I sensed something.." Naruto turned only for his ears to pick something up... a very faint sound of a blade cutting through the air in a very fast paced motion. "EVERYONE DOWN!"

Sakura who was next to him was grabbed by Naruto and pulled down right when the blade came spiralling out of the fog narrowly missing the pink haired girl. Kakashi grabbed Tazuna and pulled down while Sasuke crouched and dodged the blade as the giant cleaver like sword sunk into a tree.

Naruto looked down at Sakura who seemed a little bit caught off guard by the blade looked up at Naruto and gave a thankful nod only to hear a chuckle. The five looked up to see a looming figure on the sword's handle. "You have a good genin to sense my sword coming from the fog Hatake... mind if I take him off your hands."

Naruto gripped his Kunai in his hand and smirked slightly. "Might be a good idea sensei... he might teach me more then you besides the fact your a pervert." Kakashi gave a small look of disbelief while Zabuza laughed at that in disbelief. "He's even funny too." He jumped off the handle and grabbed it and pulled it off the tree landing lightly.

"Stay back... he is way out of your league." Kakashi grabbed his headband and pushed it up to reveal a odd eye to all but two of them... "Revealing the Sharingan already Kakashi?" Sasuke clenched his teeth seeing the eye from his clan. "How can someone outside of the Uchiha clan have the Sharingan!?" Before he could put it into words a force barred down all five of them. The killer intent was so much that it started to make Naruto see images of his death.

"Maybe I shouldn't have joked around with him..." He looked towards the sword the man was holding to see if he could recognize it and he bit his lip as he noticed the notches in the sword... "The executioners blade..."  The fog began to envelope the ninja and it's blade as a voice echoed into the mist. "Eight points..."

Naruto turned around to see the bandage wrapped Ninja ready to swing on him and his team. "How many can I get in one swing?" Naruto brought his scaled arm up and blocked the massive blade as sparks shot up from the scales before he formed a hand seal after the swung was finished and a ball of pure white flame appeared in front of Naruto. "Scorch style, wisp!" The fairly sizable ball of flames wasn't the fastest jutsu he had... But at this distance... It was sure to hit.

The wisp jutsu hit Zabuza on the side and blew up in the fog revealing a small amount of area for Sakura and Sasuke to see the two. Naruto seemed scorched by the blast while Zabuza seemed to become a pool of water, a clone from what Naruto could deduce from the situtation.

Kakashi reappeared in front of Naruto and looked at the water that was once a clone. "I said to stay back." Kakashi growled in annoyance making Naruto frown at that. Zabuza disappeared back into the mist and reappeared right behind Kakashi and swung, but for only it to swing through him and he also becoming a puddle of water and appearing behind Zabuza and kicked him towards the water before running after him.

Zabuza raised his eyebrow at the exchange before he raised his blade to block a Kunai from Sasuke. He looked towards Kakashi to see if anything would be said but seemed as nothing was to be said. "Intresting..." He gave a quick glance towards the genin before he raised his hand and water enveloped Kakashi making him go wide eye.

"Nice try Kakashi. But now it's your genins turn." He raised his hand and a water clone appeared next to him before slowly walking towards the four. "Run! Get Tazuna and just run!" Kakashi shouted only to hear a high pitched whistle as Naruto pulled on wires that stretched all the way around the trees before it began to close in on Zabuza.

Zabuza grinned at that before the clone spun and cut the wire down the middle as it dropped motionless into the water. Naruto gritted his teeth before looking over towards Sasuke. "I have a pla-" before he could even say any more Sasuke ran forward with a Kunai, ready to cut the clone down, but he was shoved to the ground with the foot of the clone.

Naruto looked towards Sakura to see her terrified. He couldn't blame her... two Genin against one of the remaining seven swordsman. He turned towards her and gave her a look and held up two fingers making her go wide eye but nod nevertheless. She grabbed something in her pouch before Naruto ran forward, putting his hands into a sign as clones appeared around him. He stood on the edge of the water before the clones all did similar hand signs before they all began to breath in making Zabuza think twice about what he should do next.

The Naruto in the middle shouted out a name before a torrent of flames began to course out of the clones. "Scorch style! Seaker wisp!" Balls of fire shot out and began rotating around Zabuza making him look around. The chakra it was giving off of seemed unstable... one wrong move and it would blow up... and since they were so close together they would cause a chain reaction... and Kakashi is in water he wouldnt get any damage... the kid was smart... however all he needed was his clone to finish it off...

As he was about to send his clone Sakura jumped up from where she was and threw a Kunai towards the mass of floating balls with a explosive tag on it, Zabuza looked at the Kunai about to hit the ball before muttering a small curse as it hit...

A chain of explosions happened as Kakashi fell into the water avoiding all of the explosion that would have been nearly fatal. Zabuza seemed to cover himself with water to avoid some of the explosion, however he was thrown back into a tree and coughed from the smoke. "Damn kid got me good..." Zabuza looked up o nlt for his eyes to gloss over before he fell over... with senbone sticking out of his neck.

Naruto looked up quickly to see where the senbone came from to see a mask figure, they jumped down next to Zabuza and looked down at him before looking towards the others. "I thank you. I was tracking Zabuza for many months now." Kakashi stood up from the water and looked at the mask that they wore. "Your a hunter ninja." The ninja nodded before grabbed the limp body of Zabuza. "If you will excuse me... this body has many secrets and I need to get rid of it." Kakashi nodded as they ninja disappeared.

Naruto finally dropped to his knees with a loud groan before looking towards Sakura. "Good throwing Sakura-chan." He breathed out before he looked towards the unconscious body of Sasuke. He hoisted himself up only to be kicked down by his sensei making him wince and look up incredibly confused.

"Insubordination will leave you dead. Remember that." Kakashi grabbed Sasuke and gave Tazuna a quick look making him nod and began to point out the directions... apparently It was just a straight walk. Kakashi lead the way walking with Sasuke over his back.

Naruto went wide eye at the eyes his sensei gave him... it was just like all of the stares he got when he passed down the roads of the village... Naruto bit his lip and looked down at the ground with tears brimming.

Tazuna gave a look towards Naruto who was still staring sadly at the ground... "But I saved you..." he thought sadly... Sakura grabbed his hand and began pulling him up and gave a small glare towards their senseis back. "Just ignore him... He must be constipated." Naruto gave a small snort at that before he let himself be dragged along by Sakura...
