Return of The Uzumaki Clan

Wave Arc 2

Continuing their traveling, Team 7 is now nearing the river that they need to cross to arrive to their destination. Out of no where Naruto felt a presence near them on their right and threw a shuriken to the bushes which ended up hitting a white bunny. "What the hell Naruto, you killed an innocent bunny!" Sakura yelled. "Shut the hell up, look at it closely. This type of bunny has different color coats to hid from predators every season. A white coated bunny on a spring day doesn't match." Sakura looking closely noticed he was right since she studied about it before. Hearing a slicing noise, Kakashi yelled "Get down!" Making everyone drop with a large give or take 4 foot long sword fly over them.

"Well well color me surprised, the Copy Ninja Kakashi is here." The stranger grabbed and holstered the blade over his shoulder. "Zabuza Momochi, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, not exactly nice to meet." They started rushing and clash their weapons. (Rest of the fight is the same as canon up to Kakashi getting stuck in the Water Style: Water Prison) "Well damn Kakashi-sensei has gone soft over the years" Stated Naruto. Sasuke angered for being ignored started to charge at the water clone Zabuza. C. Zabuza dodges a kunai that was thrown at him before body flickering behind him. Sasuke swung his right fist aiming at his head with a back hand but Zabuza just ducks under the swing and throws a hard jab to Sasuke's stomach making him cough up blood. Zabuza grabs him by the neck and prepares to swipe at him with a kunai aiming at his head. Sasuke freaking out, looks around and sees Sakura. He smiles evilly before using the substitution jutsu on her which he replaces her place with her taking his place. Both involved parties go wide-eyed with the situation but before he follows through with the attack. Sakura afraid and feeling betrayed closes her eyes waiting for the pain to arrive, but she never feels any only the sound of metal clashing. She opens up her eyes to see Naruto blocking Zabuza's Kunai with his sword with a scowl. Next thing that happens is another Naruto kicking the clone in the face making it pop and catching Sakura bridal style and going back to Tazuna. Sakura finally lets out the held breath she has been holding without her noticing.

"What the fuck was that you emo reject!" Naruto trying to control his anger yells at him. "What? She should be happy to help and sacrifice herself for an Uchiha." Sakura started to tear up from what he said since it sound like he didn't care for what he did. She felt betrayed and heart broken since it didn't sound he cared if she died or not. "Man and I thought I was cold Kakashi. Is this how they train the genin from Konoha?" "No Zabuza we don't. His status is clouding him to much and it angers me so." Naruto not wanting to hear more moves behind him quickly and knocks him out. Zabuza creates 10 clones and they start going for the kill. "Kid leave and you will live for another day." "Sorry can't do that but I'll show you something cool."

Naruto puts his right hand up in his chest in a one handed seal. Later 5 copies appear. "Kid has spunk I'll give him that." Z1 goes to one of the clones to cleave it only for it to pass thorugh. Thinking its a normal clone, Z1 starts to head to the next target only for him to turn around and stop a thrusting strike aiming for his neck. 'What the hell how did I feel that?' N1 starts slashing elegantly. Each set of slashes looks like he is putting a drawing in the air. It looks like he draws a hexagram, to a lotus, and then a pyramid. It makes his moves unpredictable and somewhat captivating. Zabuza is angered at his incompetency since he is made to defend with his attacks going through them. "What technique is this." "Its a sword technique i created called 'Dance of the Illusion Dragon'. Its something I combined with a sword technique from the Uzumaki clan and something a friend of mine called Shisui the Teleportor used." Kakashi looks amazed since he can't see the difference between them with his Sharigan. "Ah I once fought a konoha swordswoman that I had huge respect for. She was scary and fierce, something that I admired in her techniques which your sword techniques reminds me of her. How are you related to the Red Death?" "Heh well its good they seen related, after all I am her son." Zabuza surprised, smiles once. "Ok now this is exciting! To bad I have to kill you." "Only if you were my target..."Zabuza, the real one with the prison had to move to dodge a wind slash coming at him.

"Why you little sh.." Kakashi pops out swinging a haymaker sending him flying to a tree. Grunting Zabuza was about to go to attack only for a senbon to hit him in the back of the neck which Naruto eyed suspiciously. (They leave like canon except Zabuza has more damage). "Naruto can you handle the rest? I neede a..." Without  finishing he passes out. "Sensei!" Sakura goes to help him. "Tazuna is there a place where we can let these 2 rest?" "Yea you guys can stay at my place. Its the least I can do after everything you went through." "Thanks lets head out." 

That evening they arrived at Tazuna's house and met his family, Tsunami and Inari but feeling tired they decide to talk in the morning and go to sleep. The next day everyone wakes up and goes to where Kakashi is resting for a debriefing. "Ok so yea I'm pretty sure Zabuza is alive." Naruto broke the ice with grave news. "What, how didn't that hinter-nin kill him?" Sakura question. "Sakura with a senbon, if hit in the right area, can make someone be put in a death-like state. Now do you remember or know where those places are?" Sakura shook her head no so Kakashi answered "The back of the neck." Naruto just nodded. "Now we don't have to worry for about 2 weeks with the damage inflicted on him but same can be said for you sensei. Sorry but my large pool of charkra doesn't allow for me to learn medical ninjutsu except those that affect me and those like me, so for now you have to contend with a crutch atleast for a week." Kakashi nodded and thank him for what he was able to do. "Now I should start my own mission I received form the Hokage himself last night. This is gonna be a long week. I'll leave a clone here just in case but we will be receiving assistance soon. Before you ask, my mission is to handle Gato and his men so I'll take my time." Sakura looking at Naruto said "are you serious? That's so many bandits close to one thousand of them. Can you handle them? Do you need help?" Naruto looked at her a little surprised but he smiled at her "Yea I should be fine. I won't be going at them directly and right now with the skills you guys have, you won't be able to help so just rest and train with Kakashi. If I need help I'll ask, ya know? Well see ya." And with that Naruto heads out.
