Chapter 10 The Demon of the Hidden Mist

As Team 7 had treaded along, Ai kept her guard up knowing that the next enemy would be stronger and a jonin, she is determined to do whatever she can to protect her loved ones. After boarding the boat, mist had covered every corner, it was hard to distinguish the direction they were heading towards; luckily they had Tazuna to lead them.

Coming to a forest, they ventured through whilst Naruto and Sasuke bickered lightly. It was an amusing sight for Ai, she smiled softly at their antics, she knew deep down their bond goes beyond; one could say that their bickering was their own way of showing affection. However, Ai, lost in her thoughts, did not notice the small glances that Kakashi kept giving her, she can be quite oblivious to these things sometimes.

"Over there!" Naruto exclaimed whilst throwing shurikens at various places. However, it ended up being nothing of the sort unusual.
"Don't scare me like that, you brat!" Tazuna yelled at Naruto with an expression of annoyance but a slight sense of fear, in case there was something.
"Naruto, it's dangerous to throw around weapons like that recklessly." Kakashi told him in a scolding voice.
"But Kakashi-sensei!! I swear that I felt something there!"
"Naruto!! Stop trying to scare us!"

Ai, however had different thoughts, there was a slight possibility that Naruto did sense something, he is an Uzumaki after all and they are known for their sensory abilities. Walking over to the bushes, Ai had taken into her arms a petite white snow rabbit. Kakashi then followed over, brows furrowing, he had thought 'aren't snow rabbits meant to be in winter? It's only spring now...' he glanced at Ai both agreeing that this was highly suspicious.

Then , suddenly, Ai felt a dangerous presence looming towards them, she got ready and shouted towards everyone "Get down!!" And sped towards the closest two to her, pushing them down which happened to be Naruto and Sakura whilst Kakashi made sure Tazuna and Sasuke were down too.

A giant sword had sliced through the air at a terrifying speed and marked itself onto a tree.

There stood atop that sword was a man with a hidden mist hitai-ate, a line crossed through the middle indicating he was a rogue ninja, turning his head back slightly, it was easy to identify the bandages wrapped around his face like Kakashi, he wore cow patterned leg warmers and grey pants.

"Well, well , well, if it isn't Zabuza Momochi, Demon of the Hidden Mist." Kakashi identified him sharply, he gaze narrowing towards him, and stopping Naruto by placing an arm in front of him. "Naruto, stay back. He's way out of your league, this guy's not like the others we've faced. " Kakashi ordered him grimly, assessing the situation carefully.

"Well...Kakashi of the Sharingan eh?" Zabuza countered, he would have raised his eyebrows if he had any.

Hearing this, Sasuke had stiffened knowing the famous sharingan was a proud Kekkai Genkai hailed from the Uchiha clan, he glanced towards his sensei.

"I see you've heard about me too."Kakashi told him blankly.

Naruto then spoke,surprise written all over his face "I didn't know sensei was well known! That's cool!"

Zabuza's eyes scrutinized the rest of them, searching from left to right and then his gaze stopped on Ai. He smirked.

"Hoshina Ai. Pleasure to meet the all-famous Seals mistress and the one and only left to be able to perform the Hiraishin Jutsu."

"I see you know of me and what I can do. Likewise, It's a pleasure to meet one of the Legendary Swordsman of the mist. " Ai had replied back to him emotionlessly.

At this, everyone except Kakashi snapped their heads towards Ai. "A Seals mistress?"

"Aren't they really rare nowadays?"
These were spoken among the genin, they were surprised and awed at how Ai was someone that were known in the Shinobi world and nevertheless a Seals Mistress.
