"Ah...there he is, Kakashi of the Sharingan. Sorry but...that old geezer has to die to complete my mission" Zabuza said, who readied himself for battle.

"Huh? The sharingan? What the actual fuck is that?!" Natsumi thought while seeing Kakashi still had his hand on his Hitai-ate.

"Naruto...Sasuke, and Natsumi. Full surround Tazuna in a diamond position and do not enter the fight, use teamwork to protect our somewhat loveable client" Kakashi informed the entire team.

"Fuck you too, Kakashi" Tazuna said in the background, but none of it mattered to Kakashi as he was entering a battle with a A-Rank criminal after eight months of sitting on his ass.

"Zabuza, first...fight me" Kakashi said while raising his Hitai-ate fully to reveal a blood red eye with three unique tomoe in his single eye which made Sasuke a valley of emotions yet incomprehensible to him.

"Oh...I already got to see the famous Sharingan. But I'm truly honored with this level of respect you're showing me" Zabuza said cockily while pointing his Kubikiribocho at Kakashi.

"Hm...what's the Sharingan, Sasuke?" Natsumi asked Sasuke. Sasuke scoffed and looked at Natsumi, "You really don't know what the Sharingan is?" Sasuke questioned while Natsumi shook her head.

Sasuke sighed and looked directly into her eyes, "The Sharingan is the dōjutsu of the Uchiha Clan, the same clan that I'm a part of. It's said to copy all ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu the user saw when activated. However, the most notorious and famous ability of the Sharingan is its enhanced visual effects which can range from putting people into a genjutsu with a glance or seeing a person's movement before they even start moving" Sasuke explained while keeping his eyes on Natsumi and Zabuza between his explanation.

"Close enough kid, but what's truly the most frightening ability of the Sharingan is the ability to copy all ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu. When I was a number of the hidden mist's assassination team. We were all given the least version of the Bingo Book which included all the bounties of shinobi which included you. In your description, you are stated to be the man that copied a thousand jutsus, 'Copy Ninja Kakashi'" Zabuza said with a twisted smile on his visible face.

Kakashi glared at Zabuza ready to kill the missing non once and for all. "What's going on? First I thought Hokage~jiji was an old man who lied his way to the top, but apparently he's a complete badass, and now Kakashi~sensei" Natsumi thought while carefully watching the exchange between the two.

Kakashi and Zabuza looked each other in the eye before rushing towards each other at speeds incomprehensible for them.

Zabuza swung his Kubikiribōchō towards Kakashi's head with the silver haired joūnin easily dodging downwards.

Seeing his opening, Kakashi grabbed his kunai and swung towards Zabuza's right ribs. With a clean slash, not only were Zabuza's right ribs gone, but his entire body was gone.

Kakashi widened his eyes as Zabuza's body turned to water and he turned around. Zabuza was there ready to split him from the waist up, with a clean slash.

Kakashi turned to smoke with a massive log being slashed in Kakashi's place. Zabuza quickly jumped forwards and turned around to see Kakashi doing hand seals faster than he could react.

Tiger → Ox → Tiger → Rat, "Water Release: Water Ballet Technique 水遁・水弾の術­ (Suiton: Suidan no Jutsu)" Kakashi said while a massive sphere of water formed behind Kakashi from the water source behind him.

Zabuza grunted and stabbed his Kubikiribōchō on the ground. Tiger → Hare → Boar → Dog or Ram → Dog → Ox → Snake, "Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall 土遁・土流壁­ (Doton: Doryūheki)" Zabuza said while a massive earth wall formed in front of him.

The water sphere behind Kakashi formed into a sharped point and rushed towards Zabuza at speeds which was about the same as a cheetah chasing its prey.

Zabuza smirked as the water sphere hit his earth wall, after all, water is weak to earth and strong against fire.

Unfortunately, he underestimated one thing. Kakashi Hatake bends all rules of shinobi combat to his advantage.

The earth wall eventually broke from all the pressure that the water was giving the wall, Zabuza's eyes widened and he grabbed his Kubikiribōchō from the ground and raised it to protect him from the weakened water sphere.

Once his water sphere made contact with his Kubikiribōchō, the water sphere evaporated but that contact was enough to launch Zabuza from his current position to the nearby trees hitting his back.

Kakashi smirked and walked through the broken earth wall and saw Zabuza laying on the ground, blood leaking from his forehead.

Kakashi scoffed, "There's no way this man is an A-Rank criminal from Kirigakure, either he gotten weak or the shinobi in Kirigakure have gotten soft" Team Seven's sensei thought while approaching the beaten shinobi with a kunai at hand.

It wasn't until he reached Zabuza when he realized something was wrong, but it was too late.

Kakashi turned around and saw Zabuza mid air with his Kubikiribōchō already mid swing. Kakashi raised his kunai attempting to block the massive butcher knife ready to cleve him into pieces.

Fortunately, in a black and white blur, Naruto appeared in front of Kakashi with his Senbonzakura already in motion to block Kubikiribōchō.

With a loud click of swords clashing, everyone has finally registered what had happened in those few milliseconds of battle.

Natsumi and Sasuke sighed in relief while Kakashi stepped back with his eyes widened, however, it was Zabuza's reaction which made Naruto's blood pump in his body ready for battle.

Zabuza had a cool smile about him with his eyes widened in a mixture of emotion with the most intense yet powerful look in his eyes.

You could visualize a blood thirst demon behind him licking his sword in hunger and joy from a worthy competitor.

A purple cold aura started to form around him and his eyes began to hyperventilate and redness began to form in his eyes.

Zabuza Momochi was an actual demon ready to drink the blood from his enemies with a cold smile on his face
