3rd Person POV

"Killing everyone during that graduation exam... hah, it sure was... fun," Zabuza grinned chillingly. 

In the blink of an eye, he was next to Sasuke and shoved him onto the ground, dealing an elbow to his stomach. He then stepped on his chest, putting an immense amount of pressure on the Uchiha's ribcage. Sasuke let out strangled grunts of pain, blood trickling from the side of his mouth. 

Y/n gritted their teeth, their anxiety and excitement replaced with pure rage. 

"Get off of him," they ordered the demon, no sign of fear in their eyes. Lightning crackled dangerously around their forearms.

"Get off of him," they repeated their demand louder. Zabuza only laughed. 

"Or what? You'll zap me? Make my hair stand up?" He taunted darkly. 

They glowered at him, "I'll fry you to a crisp." 

Balling their hands into fists, they prepared to attack. A hand reached out in front of them to prevent them from advancing. 

"Naruto..?" they muttered, staring at him quizzically. 

"I'll handle him now, Y/n-chan, leave it to me," Naruto said. His voice was strangely calm and even but with a sharp edge to it. He glared at Zabuza, and he'd been balling his fist up so tight his knuckles turned white. He was trying so hard not to go ballistic right now. But... why?

They hesitantly nodded and took a step back, letting Naruto have centre stage. 

"Shadow clone jutsu!" 

A multitude of Narutos appeared around the rogue nin, who observed the jutsu, mildly impressed. Maybe they wouldn't be as ridiculously weak as he thought they'd be.

The Narutos jumped into the air, attacking Zabuza with a kunai from all angles. Sasuke had managed to jump away and was watching, clutching his chest. A loud grunt was heard from within the Naruto-enclosed space and in seconds, the shadow clones were thrown off. 

"It's impossible! You can't beat this guy," Tazuna wailed. Y/n sighed, exasperated. 

"Well, aren't you pessimistic?! Naruto won't fail, that much I know for certain. You'll get back home and you'll build the bridge. Just have some faith in my friends okay old man?! And if you happen to have any ✨spectacular✨ comments about the fight I suggest you keep it to yourself!"

Tazuna immediately shut up. 

Having been thrown off Zabuza, Naruto slid back, rummaging through his weapons pack. 

'There is only one way left to defeat this guy!'

Naruto pulled out a shuriken thingy (idk what it is okay don't judge me) and tossed it up in the air.

"Sasuke!" 

The aforementioned emo caught the shuriken thingy and his eyes widened, realising Naruto's ingenious plan. 

"Demon Wind Shuriken, Windmill of Shadows," (god that's such an emo fighting technique dEmOn wInD sHuRiKeN, WiNdMiLl oF sHaDoWs ahaha it suits him)

Sasuke did the jumpy jumpy (god I'm so tired, so u get to put up with my ✨fabulous descriptions✨) and yeeted the emo demon shuriken at Zabuza. But THIS TIME the attacks went for the real Zabuza :0 who was still keeping Kakashi captive in the water prison. 

My boy Zabuza caught the first shuriken and scoffed, "pathetic." 

But THEN, a second shuriken which was hiding in the shadow of the first shuriken appeared, throwing my man off his groove. Alas, Zabuza simply hoppity hopped over the second shuriken, 

"Still so naive."

The shuriken came back around like a boomerang and to everyone (but Y/n's) surprise, Naruto poofed out of thin air! He WAS the second shuriken!! 

"Here it is!!" Naruto exclaimed, throwing his kunai at Zabuza. 

In shock, and probably mild panic, Zabuza removed his hand from the water prison and dodged. Only a small graze was left on his cheek, under his eye. 

Enraged, Zabuza began twirling the shuriken in his grasp and aimed it at Naruto, who had begun falling down into the water. 

But I guess he forgot our Kickass Perverted Depressed Ninja Kakashi was free from his water prison. He blocked Zabuza from attacking his student and glared at the rogue with pure animosity.

"Naruto, your strategy was outstanding. You've grown up... both of you."

Naruto grinned bashfully, "the purpose of the shadow clones wasn't to take down Zabuza! it was to hide my transformation into a shuriken! One of my clones had thrown me to Sasuke, who must've known right away who I really was. Then he got out his own shuriken and threw us both. I aimed for the real Zabuza. Of course, I didn't really think I could take down Zabuza. But I thought I'd destroy the water prison at least, to free Kakashi-sensei. And as a bonus, I defeated his water clone too! It was a success!!" Naruto explained with an adorable grin.

Y/n smiled sweetly at their little ray of sunshine, hyped up for him. "That's the Naruto I know and love! Ya see that haters? My boy's gonna be Hokage one day! Frick yeah!" They shouted encouragingly. Naruto flushed a hot pink at their comments.

"Hmph, whatever, I got distracted and broke the water prison jutsu." 

"SORE WA CHIGAU YO (that is incorrect* You're wrong etc.)," Y/n helpfully yelled. Kakashi nodded in agreement. 

"They're right. You didn't break the jutsu. They forced you to break it."

Zabuza glared at Kakashi, who glared right back. 

"I'll tell you now, the same jutsu won't work on me twice. So what will you do?"

Y/n couldn't contain their excitement. 

"Kick his ass Kakashi!!"

Kakashi smirked, glancing at his amazing, slightly annoying, student.

"Oh don't worry... I will."
