Konoha's New Yellow Flash

The Oath of Pain

Kakashi had another Zabuza by the neck. But I think it's a clone. It chuckled and started insulting Kakashi.

So . . . "It's a clone Kakashi!" I yelled. I ran over to Kakashi as another Zabuza appeared behind him. I spun and aimed a kick at Zabuza's head. However another Zabuza stepped in front and caught it. "You will never beat me with taijutsu."

I smiled. "Are you sure?" I jumped off the foot on the ground and kicked the other side of Zabuza's face, decapitating the clones head.

Kakashi came in front of me and pushed me back to the others. Sasuke caught me and we watched the scene unravel.

Zabuza kicked Kakashi away when he failed to slice him. Now what? They're in the water! The water is a mist ninja's domain.

Kakashi emerged part of his body from the water. Zabuza appeared behind him and performed hand signs. "Heh. Fool. Water Prison Justsu!"

"No!"

And just like that, Kakashi was held prisoner in a sphere of water. Zabuza's hand was in it and then he faced us.

Oh crap. More water clones emerged. The mist thickened more. Then he appeared in front of Naruto and kicked him far away. His headband flew off from the attack. My eyes widened. "Naruto! Why you!"

I punched his head off, only for it to turn to water. Another appeared behind me and I ducked before swiping its feet and punching it straight through the chest. A Zabuza nearby growled. "You're getting in the way!" I was kicked into Sakura.

Damn. I stood and flash stepped next to Naruto as a Zabuza clone appeared and kicked its head off. I huffed a bit and glared at another clone.

"I see. The love of siblings is strong. So strong you may do anything to protect them." A Zabuza appeared behind us and slashed its sword down towards Naruto.

Time seemed to be going in slow motion. The sword was descending close to him. No. No! "NO!" I screamed. I pushed Naruto away and felt the slice of the metal against my skin.

Red. Red. Blood. My blood leaked from the slash across my abdomen. And I fell back. Naruto caught me and was screaming my name.

I panted a bit before smiling. "It's fine. It's not too deep. He's only messing with us." I stood with the help of Naruto. The clone in front of us smirked. "This is why you'll never be considered ninja. You worry too much for your brother that you'd give your life to him."

"So?"

He seemed surprised by my bland statement. "What?"

"I don't care. I never became a ninja because of the ninja task. The only reason I became one was because my brother wanted to be one."

"You'd throw your like away like that?" he sneered. It was my turn to smirk. "Of course I would. I'd do anything for Naruto. He was always there for me and I was always there for him. He's the only thing that I know is real. So yes, I'll choose Naruto over the ninja way any day. Heck, I'd choose Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi over the ninja way too. Because I'm Miyuna Uzumaki. My name is not ninja. I do things my way."

Naruto grinned and tightened his hold.

Sasuke ran at the clone, throwing shuriken and kunai's while he jumped and tried to attack from above. He caught him by his throat easily. "Sasuke!" I shouted.

I flash stepped by them and easily destroyed the clone with a punch. Sasuke fell but landed on his feet. I sighed in relief but heard Zabuza's growl of frustration. "You're getting on my nerves little girl."

He appeared in front of me and I brought my arms up to protect me the best I could. But Sasuke had thrown more shuriken at him, making him retreat.

Then he stood in front of Naruto.

NO! I stood to go after but fell to my knees when the pain in my abdomen returned. Sasuke came to my side and helped me up.

No! Please no. He's all I have left! I have to protect him!

"NARUTO!" I yelled, tears falling. I have to protect him. He stood up shakily. My eyes widened. What? But, he's afraid. He's weak. Why? Why is he still standing? He opened his eyes and I stepped back. That look. The look of determination.

He ran at Zabuza. NO! Zabuza kicked him away. "What were you thinking Naruto? He captured Kakashi he's way out of our league!" I yelled.

He stood up with great effort. And then I saw it. He went back for the headband. Why? "Hey you. The freak with no eyebrows. Put this in your Bingo book. The ninja that will become Hokage of the Village Hidden in the Leaves . . ."

He put on his headband. "He never backs down. His name's Naruto Uzumaki." I stood there in disbelief.  "Naru . . . to?" I whispered. For some reason, I feel like he doesn't need me. He doesn't need my protection.

Naruto. He then started talking with Sasuke and came up with a plan. Naruto . . . he can take care of himself.

I stood with Sakura and Tazuna. Kakashi was trying to get us to leave. To stay on mission. I smirked. "I don't take orders Kakashi! I don't follow the ninja way! I thought I made that clear earlier!"

I smiled as Tazuna gave us his blessing. Well, here goes. I trust Naruto and Sasuke. Naruto isn't a child anymore. He's not some kid who needs his little sister protection. He's a grown boy. He doesn't need my babying of him anymore.

He's growing up.

However. As they talked about his sick twisted graduation exam, he became rougher and attacked Sasuke.

So what if I can't baby them? I'm still their comrade. So I can still fight with them. I jumped at the clone and performed hand signs. "Lightning Style: Shockwave!" I put my index and middle finger together on each hand and held them apart.

Lightening connected between my finger and I slowly brought them together and once my finger connected, I hit the ground. The ground broke apart and lightening sparked as it hit the clone who was shocked so much it was destroyed. The trail of destruction still evident.

The real Zabuza glared at me with so much hate it was tangible. He created another clone and sent it after me.

I was too drained though. Maintaining chakra within my fists and feet takes lots of effort. Not to mention my wound and that Shockwave. I can't take down another.

I waited for his sword, but it never came. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Lots of Naruto's appeared and surrounded Zabuza. The clones attacked Zabuza with kunai's. Soon it was a dog pile of Naruto's that buried Zabuza.

I waited to see what had happened. But Zabuza had merely flung them away. As the Naruto's disappeared, Naruto threw a giant, foldable shuriken to Sasuke who caught it with ease.

Sasuke unfolded the blades so it was giant.

"Demon Wind Shuriken: Windmill of Shadows!" I sniffed the air. Wait a minute. That smells like . . . I grinned. Nice one bro.

He jumped high in the air and threw it at the original Zabuza. He had caught the shuriken though. But I merely smirked. I believe in my team.

They're going to kick his ass.

The second shuriken raced towards him. Instead of releasing the water prison, he jumped over it. Dang. But there is no way he's going to win this one. Not with my big bro's plan.

My smirk never left my face. So when he jumped over it my grin was wide as ever and the shuriken poofed into my brother.

Zabuza was beyond surprised. "Eat this!" Naruto screamed and threw a kunai.
