Choices: Kakashi's Daughter

Chapter 18

We're on our way to the bridge to build and guard Tazuna, but this time the guard detail contains Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura. Naruto and Sasuke barged in last night exclaiming their victory of mastering tree climbing together, though Naruto used up so much chakra, Kakashi didn't even bother waking him up. I sigh at my teams idiocy, depleting you chakra during mission was... well, a genin move... so I guess it fit really.

"What the hell?!" I snap my eyes open to see all the workers lying on the ground unconscious.

"What could of happened?" Sakura states dramatically clutching onto Sasuke's left arm. I turn and look at that girl with I believed to be a sassed look. Well, I don't know Sakura, think. Were on a highly targeted bridge in the making, and we already know that S-class ninjas have been assigned to kill the bridge builder since he nearly tried to kill you before... I face palm my head with the realization of what I just did, Kami I need a solo mission fast. Sasuke shrugs her off, while I unsheathe my right sword.

"Playtime." Mist fills the bridge area along blood lust.

"Kakashi, Akuma, it seems you've healed nicely." Zabuza steps forward from the mist with the masked boy from the last fight they described to me... something about him made my insides scream for me to stop.

"You as well look good for a dead man, Zabuza," Kakashi says. I zone out for awhile trying to study the boy wanting to figure out his secrets, slightly jumping at the chakra wave sent my way and turn to see it was from Kakashi. Looking for Sasuke, I see him fighting the masked boy who held my attention earlier, trapped in what looks like a dome of ice mirrors and losing from not being able to pin the masked one.

"Akuma!" I dodge back in time from being slice in half by Zabuza's sword.

"You should pay attention to your own fight Zero-Tails, it may be your last." I narrow my eyes at him before doing fast one-handed signs with my left hand.

"Aerial Zone Jutsu." Eight small pillars of light erupt in an octagon around Zabuza  who finally realizes what's going on and tries to get out at the last moment. "No, you don't," I slam my hands on the ground sealing the jutsu having all the wind within a ten-meter radius about fifteen ft above our heads vortex inwards and crash into the hexagon. As the dust clears I see Zabuza with his right side in shreds, but still in use.

Damn us ex-ANBU, we just don't die...

"Damn Brat, you just keep coming don't you," Zabuza coughs out spitting blood to the side.

I smile, "Every day of the week."

I sense a signature to my left making me dodge under and kick up, but the person just flips between Zabuza and I. Looking up, the masked Boy, once again my interested is peeked.

"Where did you find him Zabuza? He is good and trained well."

"Oh around, he is a lovely tool isn't he..." I scowl at his use of words before wondering, who's fighting Sasuke? I glance at the ice dome to see him struggling with needles inside him and facing a clone, sighing before turning to the duo in front of only to see Zabuza fighting Kakashi and the boy was gone. Well then. I activate my eyes to observe the situations: Zabuza won't last much longer from the injury I gave him and the aggression Kakashi giving him, and Sasuke.... he's practically on his last limb. I scan the ice dome looking for weaknesses, but it looks like the only way it's coming down is by either causing the jutsu caster loss of concentration or brute force. That boy though, my brain is shouting at me to remember his signature, but I can't place it.

Signature to the right, "Akuma!" 

I withdraw my right sword from the belt on my lower back and block Zabuza's attempt, my one arm grip stopping his two-handed swing and all its force without moving an inch.
