"So I had it right it was all an act" Tazuna turned to Kakashi "An act?" He questioned "With a cute little mask" Kakashi said "Huh?" Sakura looked shocked "Big phony" Saskue scowled "I guess all that crap about being a tracker ninja was just a bunch of ball!" Tazuna frowned "They look pretty chummy to me, i'd say they've been pulling scams like that for a long time" Kakashi said.
"They've got some nerve facing us after that trick!" Sakura irked "And hiding behind a mask, who does he think he's fooling" Kakashi said Sakura chuckled silently "Speak for yourself sensei" Rika wasn't really listening to what her teammates were saying she was still trying to figure why that boy was so familiar "That's it, I'm talking him out, who does he think he's fooling hiding behind that mask like some clown" Saskue narrowed his eyes at Haku Sakura blushed "Saskue, you're so cool".
Haku started to spin around he looked like a small tornado Rika gripped her Kunai tighter as she watched Saskue and Haku engage in battle it looked like they were evenly matched "Sakura, Rika cover Tazuna and stay close to me let Saskue handle this" Kakashi ordered Rika nodded as she and Sakura jumped in front of Tazuna.
Saskue was moving at the same speed as Haku "Wow so fast" Rika muttered under her breath. Haku did some hand sings Kakashi's eyes widened "Shit! This isn't good" Rika gritted her teeth she wanted to help Saskue but she knew she was just slow him down she watched helpless as spikes of ice formed around Saskue.
Saskue jumped up out of the way before the ice could hit him. Saskue kicked Haku in the face sending him flying backwards
"You made a mistake insulting theses young ninjas calling them brats, that's just guaranteed to bring out Saskue's attitude he's the best young fighter of the hidden leaf village, Rika's has great sensory skills and Sakura here has the sharpest mind" Kakashi's words made Sakura smiled."And last but not least,our number one hyper active knucklehead ninja is Naruto Uzumaki" Kakashi spoke with pride Zazuba just laughed "We'll both be the victims in a minute if you don't hurry up Haku, get on with it!" Zabuza demanded "Right" Haku stood up as blue charka started to form around him Haku he did another hand sign as large walls of ice started to form around Saskue they looked like mirrors "Secret jutsu, Crystal ice mirrors" Haku said.
Haku then stepped into the ice mirror as she started to appear in every mirror Kakashi moved forward to help but Zabuza appeared in fort of him "If you try to interfere with this fight, you'll have to fight me, your boy is finished" Kakashi narrowed his eyes at Zabuza, Haku was hitting Saskue with needles faster than he could dodge "Saskue!" Sakura cried out "Just try and help him, and I'll kill the other three in a heartbeat" Zabuza said.
"I'm sorry i can't stay with you forgive me, Rika protect Mr Tazuna" Sakura looked determined Rika's eyes widened "I understand go" Tazuna nodded Sakura picked up the Kunai knife that landed at her feet and ran forward "Sakura no!" Rika called out, Sakura jumped up and threw a Kunai towards the mirrors but Haku caught it.
Before Haku could do anything a bunch of Shuriken hit Haku and all his reflections causing him to fall out of the mirror a bunch of smoke appeared "Who is it?" Sakura questions Rika's eyes lit up she knew exactly who it was the smoke cleared "Naruto Uzumaki is here, Believe it!" he smiled "Always making an entrance" Rika shook her head but couldn't help the small smile forming on her lips "Now that I'm here everything will be alright!"
"Naruto!" Sakura smiled "The hero always shows up late and kicks but that's what I'm gunna do believe it!" Naruto pointed to Haku with his usual goofy smile "Get on with then,show off" Rika said quietly "I heard that!" Naruto said Rika just looked the other way Naruto was about to make some shadow clones but Zazuba threw a bunch a Shuriken at him but Haku blocked it with his needles everyone looked shocked.
"This is a battle not a talent show, don't let your opponent see your jutsu! A ninja's art is deception always keep your enemies guessing!" Kakashi scolded "What are you doing Haku!" Zazuba said
Haku asked to fight Naruto in his own way Zazuba called Haku soft but he let him anyway.Saskue threw a kunai at Haku trying to catch him off guard but Haku dodged it effortlessly Haku walked back into the ice mirrors Haku started to hit Sasku with a barrage of needles again "Saskue!" Naruto, Sakura and Rika exclaimed.
'They need to attack from the inside and the outside' Rika thought to herself and she was Sure her teammates were thinking the same thing until she watched Naruto sneak in the ice mirrors that Saskue was surrounded by.Rika felt her self age by ten years Sakura had the same look on her face as Rika and she was as sure Saskue did as well Kakashi just shook his head, Naruto and Saskue started arguing again before Saskue tried to melt the ice with his fire ball jutsu but unfortunately it didn't work.
After watching Naruto and Saskue trying to break the ice Kakashi figured out that Haku's jutsu was a Kekki Genkai. Things we're getting bad Rika felt like her mind was spiralling she wanted to help her teammates but she knew she couldn't get involved, she would be no help to them and Zabuza would kill before she could even get to ice mirrors.
Kakashi tried to lifted up his mask but Zabuza tried to stab his eye but Kakashi caught it with his hand, but the kunai still went through Rika and Sakura watched helplessly, Zabuza did a hand and disappeared as he did the mist got thicker and thicker "Stay close to me!"Rika said to Tazuna Kakashi told Sakura to got back to Rika and Tazuna.
Rika felt Zabuza appear just before Sakura and Tazuna did she move to stand behind Tazuna kunai at the ready she knew there was no way she could beat him but her job was to protect the bridge builder so that's what she would do even though Zabuza terrified her she put on her best brave face, before Zabuza could strike Kakashi appeared in front of her. Rika's eyes widened in horror as Sakura let out a blood curdling scream as Zabuza stabbed Kakashi.
Time went by and Rika felt something disturbing Naruto's charka was gone and was replaced by something else this charka was dark,Evil and powerful "Is this...is this the nine tails?" She said quietly to herself she felt sweat drip down her face. Tazuna and Sakura didn't seem to hear her "Rika are you alright?" Sakura turned around "I'm fine" Rika waved it off Sakura was sceptical but didn't push it 'Naruto' Rika looked out into the mist.
