(On Hold) Retribution (Act I)

March Of Valor

Zabuza found himself grumbling at his predicament. Granted he had to hand it to the kid, he really did help him out with learning of the truth behind Gato and his intentions...

But how could he actually trust the boy, Naruto. What was his intentions, if any? Did Naruto plan on doing anything else after? Or were they truely going to get the help they need from Konoha.

"Zabuza-sama. If I may, I think you shouldn't overthink it to much. That boy is powerful, even if he was not gonna fight, he show cased his power and that alone was something far stronger then you or I together could have faced. Even if it did increase and we could have run down the time..I think he speaks the truth. How else would he have known about us? Granted...Kakashi of the Sharingan was there."

Zabuza put a hand to his face, before looking doing an auditable "tsk" before turning back and crouching. Now you ask yourself...where even are they? well...
"Quiet boy. I'm looking for information. I Need to focus...YOU, focus on searching. if anyone starts getting suspicious, we need to go...but where is this bastards safe."

Zabuza stood up, before grabbing the hilt of his blade, as he pulled it out of a guard. The Blood staining the wall of the once Beautifully Crafted room, now stained with the blood of a Man whos deeds never went answered until now...

"Little rat...where is it..."

Zabuza had searched every corner of the room, But found nothing. In his frustration, he also had forgotten one thing...and he felt idiotic for it.

"F....I Can not believe i didn't even consider checking the fucking paintings!"

He turned his head to face the painting...realizing there was one small problem.

"Well fuck. I forgot i already checked there...AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!"

He let out a yell of anger, but was silenced as he noticed something glinting due to his blade, that hung over his shoulder. How you ask, he had put his head back...but something clicked.

"KAI!"

He Expelled his chakra. The room itself Reverting back to normal, before it was even damaged, as he looked to his right. Now seeing that it was...an Illusion?

"Ok what the fu..."

He sighed...why did he have to suffer.

Naruto and Kakashi both clashed fists. The area around them slightly cracking form the pressure of impact, before Naruto was flung back.

He crashed into a tree, he coughing out saliva as the boy fell to his knee. He, panting from the strain of the training he and the girls had just undergone.

"D-Damn it Kakashi-Sensei...go a little easier why don't you..."

He slowly stood up, but fell back to his knees, as a Tired Kakashi weekly chuckled.

"No can do, Naruto. You and the girls-"

Behind Naruto was a knocked out Satsuki, and a barely conscious Sakura, who both were also tired and ultimately, quiet. Kakashi had won against the three, as even the boy himself was tired.

They had reached Tazuna's home the day prior, and of course after being settled in one day and helping the family around the house, the Four left to train.

That was 5 hours ago.

"Alright...Kakashi, I'll win next time..."

Kakashi had essentially been beating the trio up. Wanting them physically capable at handling him at a pace of what Zabuza, and Haku would showcase. Granted, he wanted to make sure they were ready to fight and to win. Knowing they were in each other's side...it was always smarter to have the kids ready for a betrayal. Even if there was no fighting, one's mood and thought process can easily sway.
