13: Raging Battle
"Zabuza Momochi." Kakashi begins looking at the ninja who was just above me a few moments before.
"Rogue ninja. Originating from the village hidden in the mist." I mumbled quietly causing Kakashi to look at me silently. Sasayaki tensed around my neck causing me to sigh as I watched Naruto run past me towards the rogue ninja before Kakashi stopped him in his tracks.
"Naruto. Fall back." My voice was stern and almost unfamiliar to me. The blonde ignored me and glared at Kakashi-sensei.
"Listen to Kami, Naruto. This opponent is different from the ones we faced before," Kakashi reached for his headband grabbing it securely. "Seems like I'll be needing this." My eyes widened as he pulled his headband up to reveal a sharingan eye.
"Kakashi Hatake of the sharingan eye, right? It's time you hand over that old man." Zabuza spoke with a spark of amusement in his eyes.
"Everyone, manji formation now," My order seemed to fall on deaf ears as I grabbed both Sasuke and Sakura by their wrists before pulling them back towards Tazuna. "You're going to get the client killed if you don't bother listening." I growled seriously and Kakashi nodded.
"Listen to Kami. I won't have time to be giving out orders, got it?" Naruto joined us quickly as Kakashi spared a glance. "I taught you teamwork, so use it." Turning his attention back to Zabuza, Kakashi glared tensely as he waited for Zabuza to move.
"Looks like I'll be having the honor of seeing the sharingan at work." Zabuza smirked behind his mask as Naruto huffed in frustration.
"Everyone keeps going on about 'sharingan, sharingan!' Could someone explain what it is already?!" I zoned out my teammates conversation as I watched the two Jōnin in front of me as I let my thoughts wonder.
"Itachi?" I dropped my battle stance as I focused on the man in front of me.
"What is it Shun?" His voice was distant once again meaning he was thinking of his brother.
"Why are your eyes different? They're more powerful than the others. Well, excluding Pein." I was curious to say the least about the older Uchiha.
"It's called the Sharingan, Shun. It is something that runs through the Uchiha clan."
"Why does Kakashi have a sharingan like Itachi?" I whispered to myself deep in thought as I stared at Kakashi's eye. A sharp pain entered my skull and I quickly placed both of my palms to my eyes.
"Lord Orochimaru. What was the purpose of the syringes?" Kabuto's voice was distant as I was engulfed in pain, my throat raw and my eyes burning.
"The purpose you ask? Well so that Kami here can gain the power of the Dōjutsus. One peek and Kami will adopt the Dōjutsu as if Kami was born with it."
"-the man that copied over a thousand jutsu. The copy ninja, Kakashi Hatake." Zabuza's voice brought me out of my thoughts and I quickly glance around only to catch Sasuke's eyes.
"You-! How?!" His eyes widened and I tilted my head slightly in confusion.
"Woah! Kami! You have the same eyes as Kakashi's sharingan!" Sakura called out in awe making me even more confused. The mist around us began to thicken making me snap back to attention noticing Zabuza's disappearance.
"Stay on your guard everyone the sharingan cannot fully neutralize Zabuza's technique." Kakashi called out causing Sakura and everyone else to tense.
"At leassst he'sss being honesssst." Sasayaki spoke causing me to smile softly.
"Well if we fail, we only lose our lives." Kakashi stated calmly and I chuckled lightly at his honesty.
"How could you say something like that sensei?! And you, what're you laughing about Kami?!" Sakura yelled making me flinch at the sudden volume.
"Eight points..." I block out Zabuza's voice focusing in on my surroundings. "Now which will be my killing point?"
"Sasuke! Calm down. I will protect you with my life, all of you. I will not allow my comrades to die." Kakashi promised softly as the mist behind me shifted ever so slightly.
"There!" Quickly taking out my kunai I spun around quickly, deflecting Zabuza's attack along with Kakashi-sensei. Figuring he could handle this, I fell back with the rest of my team. Kakashi stabbed Zabuza, but it turned out to be a water clone causing me to grit my teeth in slight irritation.
"Kakashi-sensei! Behind you!" Naruto yelled as Zabuza reappeared behind Kakashi. The water clone trick switched between the two before Kakashi was flung into the water, Zabuza following quickly after. Right as Kakashi emerged from the water, the water formed a bubble around him keeping him trapped in place.
"Dammit... I might need you for this. Girls, time to play." As I raised my arms loosely in front of me, my robe started shifting slightly as two tiny yellow snakes crawled out from each arm, hissing quietly. Sakura let out a panicked gasp as they dropped to the ground near her feet. I glared at her slightly in response to her gasps.
"They're adorable, not monstrous beasts." I mumbled as they slithered away on the grass. Kakashi was yelling at the team about something, but I payed him no mind as I sprinted forwards towards Zabuza, dodging many of the water clones on my way. Bringing my kunai in front of me quickly, metal clashed against metal as kunai met sword. Using the force from mine and Zabuza's attack, I quickly jumped backwards, landing beside Naruto, who took off as soon as my feet touched the ground. Without much effort Zabuza had knocked off Naruto's forehead protector before throwing him into a tree. Sasuke didn't waste much time before shooting away from his position and towards Zabuza, only to be caught and thrown back like a fly causing Sakura to panic.
"Sakura! Do not leave Tazuna's side." I ordered watching Naruto run back at Zabuza, getting his forehead protector back despite being pushed back towards us.
"Sasuke!" Naruto called out leaving me confused, but Sasuke obviously understood what Naruto was hinting at.
"Hey Kami! A distraction would be nice!" Naruto yelled at me causing me to look at him emotionlessly.
"Well... ok." I charged forward running towards Zabuza completely devoid of emotion as Sasayaki let out a hiss of annoyance. Bringing my kunai in front of me once more, I jumped up dodging a clone and took out a few shuriken, throwing them quickly aiming for the rest of the Zabuza clones as I made my way to the real one. Sword and kunai met once more as I brought my weapon down towards Zabuza's throat. Attack. Block. Attack. Block. Dodge. We exchanged blows, not really doing damage until I infused my kunai with chakra just as it met the sword leaving us in a struggle to throw each other back.
"You're just like me, kid. You're enjoying this. I know it," Zabuza commented through clenched teeth as I added more pressure to my kunai. "Even with those blood red eyes of yours, the blood lust is still present." I frowned as he mentioned the sharingan, but I refused to let up as he tried pushing me backwards with his sword. Closing my eyes I imagined the four snakes I let loose earlier. When I opened my eyes Zabuza smirked.
"Changing your eye color won't help. I know what you really are." I rolled my eyes as the snakes began crawling up Zabuza's legs. Letting myself smirk I infused even more chakra into my kunai, giving one last shove before jumping back quickly, making Zabuza's sword get stuck in the ground. The four yellow snakes wrapped around Zabuza wherever they could and sunk their fangs into his skin making him cry out in surprise and maybe pain.
"Yellow snakes?! Kami aren't those yours?" Sakura asked and I nodded closing my eyes.
"Pay attention Sakura, those snakes of mine are yellow for a reason. Their venom is a paralyzing venom. He won't last much longer with all four of those beautiful babies clinging to him." I answered as Naruto and Sasuke launched into battle. As they began their attack I eyed Kakashi sensei, who seemed as if he had already given up. Sakura gasped and I looked at her to see her staring at me which caused me to raise an eyebrow in questioning.
"Your eyes...! They're bright green!" I smiled softly at her just as Kakashi attacked Zabuza, seeming to finally be free from his water prison.
"Sakura you must not be surprised by this in the future, this will happen often." With that I watched as an already paralyzed Zabuza was struck out of nowhere with senbon needles.
"Oh.. Our little friend hasss come to play." Sasayaki hissed sarcastically, grumpy from lack of sleep. I laughed lightly at her as Naruto screamed at the ninja for taking down Zabuza so easily. Right before the ninja took Zabuza's body away I stuck a hand out halting his movements. The boy obviously tensed as bent down and neared Zabuza's body.
"I cannot allow you to take my snakes now can I?" I gave him a fake eye smile as I collected the yellow snakes gently, sneaking in an even smaller tracking snake before stepping away from the two. Once they were gone, Kakashi began to collapse. Reacting quickly, I caught the falling male with a small grunt.
"How dare you make me carry you Kakashi. I might have to tell Guy sensei," I mumbled jokingly as I shifted the male on my shoulder. "Although I guess this makes us even."
