Chapter 15: Round two for Team 7!

  An entire week flew by, and during the week Nerida helped Inari on picking the right kind of fish and teaching him which one was good to keep and which one was bad, and admits that the team has gotten stronger especially Naruto but.... the amount of sleep she is getting is low which is worrying her ghost companions. It was the morning and all of team 7 plus Tazuna was ready to make their way to the bridge. Well.... not all of them Naruto was still sleeping from all that training he did.

"I hope you will take good care of naruto, Tsunami." Kakashi bowed at the woman with graditude.

"Of course, I'm happy to help! Stay safe now!" Tsunami smiled and waved them goodbye and so did Inari, well mostly to Nerida who softly waved back.

  There was a sight to behold when they arrived at the bridge all the workers were on the ground, groaning in pain and fear some where even unconscious!

"What happened here?!" Tazuna yelled.

"Someone was here!" Minato mumbled while looking at the scene in front of him. Nerida quickly yet quietly summoned her poison kunais and went into an unusual stance that confused the people around her.

Then a heavy mist surrounded them everyone even Tazuna got in their stance.

"Sakura, Sasuke, Nerida get in your positions!" Kakashi ordered as he took a kunai out of his weapon pouch.

"Nerida be careful! And stay on guard!" The ghosts reminded her.

'I know! I'm not a child for kelp's sake!'

"Kakashi-sensei, its Zabuza isn't it? This is his hidden mist jutsu." Sakura said narrowing her emerald eyes.

'Zabuza... so he's here i wonder haku is with him too...' Nerida thought as she gripped her weapons tighter.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting Kakashi, i see that you still have those brats with you." Zabuza smugly said.

Then dozens of water clones had surrounded them looking at them like a predator is going to kill their prey.

Zabuza looked at Sasuke who was trembling and mockingky cooed, "Aw.... look at that one, he is trembling like a pig, pathetic."

Sasuke then grinned confusing Zabuza.

"I'm trembling.... with excitement!" Sasuke said, and Nerida smirked.

"Go ahead Sasuke." Kakashi smiled at his student.

In a flash Sasuke destroyed the clones one by one with his kunai leaving a ring of water around them. Nerida was a bit shocked and proud of the Uchiha at the same time.

Sasuke saw her reaction and smirked, he will show her how strong he is and wants to prove himself to her.

Shisui whistled "He's gotten stronger his skills levels have increased immensely."

Then the real Zabuza came in front of them with a masked Haku by his side. He looked around he spotted Nerida and both of them made eye contact.

Nerida looked down to Haku and Zabuza's wrists, she was genuenly suprised that the bracelets that she gave them were still on their wrists.

Zabuza cursed under his bandages from seeing Nerida again, not realizing the glares he received. Kakashi notices this and moves closer to Merida. Much to Haku's dismay as he wanted to get more than a glimpse of the nymph.

"So... you're here too huh, Nerida." Zabuza chuckled under his mask.

The fairy didn't say anything she only stared at Zabuza and haku with a blank face.
