"WHAT?!" Naruto shouted causing Sasuke to wince since he was right next to him. "But Kakashi-sensei, that guy with the mask, what about him he killed Zabuza?" Naruto asked, obviously not wanting to let the matter go.
"Like I said he's an elite tracking ninja from the Mist, those masks are only worn by the most elite shinobi. The ANBU Black Ops or Inferno Squad destroy all traces of a rouge ninja's corpse, the shinobi's body contains many secrets. Ninjutsu, chakra, special medicines used on his body these are the secrets of his village, if his enemies find out his people will be in grave danger." Kakashi replied, stifling a yawn.
Naruto nodded slightly but still appeared confused, Kakashi decided to give an example
"For instance if I were to die at the hands of an enemy he would try to analyse my Sharingan, in the worst case my entire jutsu could be stolen and used against our home village. It is the sacred duty of the shinobi trackers to prevent this, to keep the village secrets safe. If a ninja betrays his village the trackers hunt him down and eliminate him and obliterate every trace of his existence that is their specialty"
"Tracker ninja deal with the body immediately, on the spot so there is no room for error." Kakashi stated.
"The weapons he used... they were throwing needles.. No way" Sasuke added equally skeptical.
"See now you understand. Those senbon needles put Zabuza in a temporary death state. He is still out there, but he is probably still healing after the fight." His young students looked at eachother with worry before looking back at him.
Naruto peered at his sensei through squinted eyes "So what a treat we gonna do now sensei?" he questioned.
"After I heal up I am going to give you guys some serious training if we face Zabuza again." He then turned towards Sakura." So what's the verdict Doc?" he asked jokingly.
"Not too bad, I was able to repair some severed eye cartilage but I'm not really proficient so you need to see a qualified medical ninja when we get back to Konoha." Sakura said as the door to the room opened to reveal Tazuna.
"So you're awake at last! You took down one of the most powerful ninja assassins so we'll be safe for a while." he said fanning himself.
"Here's the truth, Zabuza is still alive" Kakashi declared.
"HUH?" the bridge builder shrieked in shock.
"BUT YOU SAW HIS BODY BELIEVE IT! YOU EVEN SAID HE WAS DEAD!" Tazuna exclaimed loudly.
"Kakashi-sensei said there was no pulse, technically he was dead but that was only a simulation." Sakura explained towards the old bridge builder.
"That's right. It's all to do with the weapons he used, they're called senbon. They can pierce deeply but rarely kill unless they hit a vital organ, not in the neck. They're modified from needles used for medical treatments like acupuncture. Trackers are trained to know every detail of the human body, causing the heart to stop while keeping the body alive is an easy matter for them." Kakashi stated before being interrupted by a knock at the door.
A raven haired woman walked in carrying a tray of food "Oh I'm sorry, is this a bad time?" she asked slightly embarrassed at being the focal point of attention.
"Not at all, I'm quite starved!" Kakashi said happily as the tray was placed in front of him.
"Team 7 this is my daughter Tsunami. Tsunami the one in the bed is Kakashi, he's a Jounin apparently. The one with the attitude is Sasuke, the girl is Sakura and the annoying loudmouth is Naruto." Tazuna said, his introduction earning him a scowl from all the ninja.
