Recap:

I grabbed my head, tears escaping out unconsciously.

"Kuso..." I cursed as the tears ran down my cheeks.

———————————
I stood next to my teammates as we exit Tazuna's home.

"Okay, I leave Naruto in your hands, he pushed his body to the limit, overdoing it as usual, so he may not be able to move at all today." Sensei informs Tazuna's daughter.

How do I still not know her name??

"What about you? You're still recovering yourself." She said concern. I chuckled, he's a ninja this must be nothing to him. "Why, do I look wobbly to you? I'll be okay."

"Come on, let's go!" Tazuna yelled, leading us away. I sighed as we walked.

I have a bad feeling today...

We arrived, only to be shocked by how many bodies were laying on the floor. They were all twitching in pain, unable to even open their eyes. This must have been the bad feeling.

"What happened? Someone was here, someone got to them." He yelled angrily. My fingers twitched, already grabbing for the hilt of my sword. The whole bridge suddenly got clouded, it was full of mist.

"Sasuke, Sakura, Rena. Get ready." Sensei ordered. I put my sword in front of me in a defensive manner.

"Kakashi sensei, it's Zabuza, isn't it?" Sakura questions, "this is his hidden mist jutsu."

So, the rogue ninja is here, huh?

I felt my heart thumping fast. I'm too excited to fight this guy since he's the one who left a marked on my stomach.

"Sorry I kept you waiting, Kakashi. I see you've still got those brats with you. That one is conscious now, the other is still trembling, pitiful.

We were surrounded by clones of a guy with bandages wrapped around his mouth carrying a huge sword.

This must be Zabuza.

Sasuke scoff, "I'm trembling with excitement."

"Go on, Sasuke." Sensei said with a smile directed towards him. I smirked and loudly breath out of my nose. In a quick motion, Sasuke took all of them down with his kunai. They all collapsed into water.

"Oh, so you could see they were water clones? The brat's improving. Looks like you've got a rival, Haku." He appeared in front of us, another person with a mask that held the Mist sign on the forehead. This must be the fake hunter nin they told me about. I walked up next to Sensei, the blade touching the now wet ground.

"Well, well, so I had it right? It was all an act. With a cute little mask." Sensei spoke.

Hmm, hiding behind a mask, he's not fooling anyone.

"Hiding behind a mask, who does he think he's fooling?" I snorted, it was basically what I said.

"Ahem, speak for yourself Sensei." Sakura responded.

I sweat-dropped.

"That's it, I'm taking him out. Who does he think he's fooling, hiding behind a mask like some sort of clown?" Sasuke spoke up, only for Sakura to fan over him.

I anime fell. He said the same thing as Sensei, how can you fan over this.

"He's impressive. Even though they were just one-tenth the strength of the original water clone jutsu, he did destroy them all." This Haku person spoke up, can't really read their expression since... you know.. the whole mask thing.

All the sudden, Haku moved and a tornado began to form. I raised my sword up, ready to attack. Kunai and sebon clashes against each once the tornado disappeared. Kakashi quickly order us to protect Tazuna.

I can be there backing up Sasuke, not here help protect the old drunk.

Water suddenly started to rise around Sasuke and Haku. I gritted my teeth and looked at Sakura. "Get ready to protect him yourself, I will jump in real soon." Seriousness entering my voice. She looked shocked.

Sasuke escapes from the jutsu and landed behind him, giving him the upper hand in the situation. Haku backed up, only to be knee'ed in the face by Sasuke. I couldn't help but smirk.

"You made a big mistake insulting these ninjas and calling them brats. That's just guaranteed I bring out Sasuke attitude. And he's the best young fighter of the Hidden Leaf Village. Sakura here is our sharpest mind. Rena, our helper for injuries and backing everyone up. And last but not least, our number one hyperactive knucklehead ninja is Naruto Uzumaki." I scoff and took down my hood during sensei's explanation.

Glad he didn't leave me and Naruto our this time.

Zabuza just laughs. "Haku, if we keep going like this, we'll be the victims instead of them. Get on with it." Haku stood up and stared at us. "Right." A strange blue wave-like came out of his body, it got so cold when it came out.

I grit my teeth as I held my sword up, ready to attack when necessary. Ice started to form around Sasuke, making tighten the hilt of my sword.

"Secret jutsu: Ice mirror jutsu."

What shocked me the most is how he walked into one of the ice slabs and stepped through it like it was nothing. He became two-dimensional in the fucking ice, how should I not freak out!?

Both sensei and I ran to Sasuke, only to be stopped by Zabuza.

"If you enter this fight, you fight me. Your boy has no chance against that jutsu. He's finished." Zabuza chuckled. Kakashi glances at me and I gave him a nod, only to crumble to dirt.

I jumped out of the ground, landing near the doom ready to attack it from the outside. Before I could attack it, I was pulled in by Haku getting hit by his sebon's he was throwing at both Sasuke and me.

I groan in pain by each hit of the sebon. I almost lost my grip on my sword because of him. I felt blood dripping down my arms, yelling out in pain.

Damn it, this is not what I was planning at all.
