The group sat in a boat, almost reaching to their destination to the Land of Waves.
"Mr. Tazuna, before we reach the pier, I want to asked you something. The men who are after you, I need to know why. If you don't tell use, I'm afraid I'll have to end the mission before we drop to shore." Kakashi said
Everyone waited for his response before he finally caved. "I have no choice but to tell you the truth."
"Like you said, this is no ordinary mission. The one who seeks to end my life is a man who I'm sure you know or at least heard of his name. He's one of the wealthiest men in the world, the shipping magnet Gato." Tazuna said
Kakashi's eyes widened. " Gato? As in Gato Transport? He's a business dealer, everyone knows him."
"Who?" Naruto asked
"Gato is a powerful man yes, but he's a ruthless man who has taken over businesses and countries. He came a year ago and took control of transport, and on an island he who controls transport, controls the island. But there is one thing that threatens his control: The Bridge. If it connects to the mainland, his control will be gone. And I'm that bridge builder." Tazuna explained
"So that's why Gato sent assassins after you. But why hire Genin for this mission? Why not powerful and more experienced Chunin or even Jonin?" Hinata asked
"Gato drained our money, even our richest have little money. A C-ranked mission was all we could afford." Tazuna put his head down
"But hey! If you decide to just leave me at the dock when we get their, it's totally cool! My grandson will just miss me and my daughter will curse you Leaf ninjas and live the rest of her life in sorrow." Tazuna said with a smile
The trio and Kakashi felt uncomfortable until Kakashi spoke up."We'll I guess we have no choice."
'This is basically entrapment.' Hinata thought
'Got 'em.' Tazuna smirked

Then they reached the dock, Hinata and Naruto were straring at the abundance of aquatic wildlife. Their boat driver dropped them off and left, refusing to go any further. They started walking to Tazuna's house after that.
"Man, how much further?" Naruto asked
"Not too much." Tazuna said
Naruto heard a branch crunch with his sharp ears and threw a kunai. A snow white bunny fell oue of the bush, with it's life flashing before it's eyes.
"Ahh! I'm sorry little bunny... Hinata how do we fix this?" Naruto held the bunny close
"Let me take a look." Hinata ordered
Naruto handed Hinata the bunny. "Don't worry. It just seemed startled,” Hinata explained. “Bunnies are the most skittish animals, so it’s just very dazed.” She scratched behind it’s ear. “Poor thing just needs to calm down.”
Then Hinata noticed the color of it's fur.
'White? But rabbits only have this color of fur in the winter when the days are short and almost no sunlight. This rabbit was raised indoors away from sunlight but could mean...' Hinata activated her Byakugan and saw a large sword coming at them
"Get down!" She yelled
Everyone suddenly fell to the ground, barely dodging the sword. The said sword lodged itself in a tree amd then a man stood on it.
'If my life wasn't in danger now, I would totally admire that sword.' Hinata thought, her Byakugan still activated
"Kakashi of the Sharingan, the Copy Cat ninja. What an honor." Zabuza smiled sadisticly through the bandages on his face
