Accidental Bloodline

Chapter 4 - Making Waves

Kitsune looked at the blisters on his hand glad he had a healing factor from the Kyuubi. Neko had been training him along the way the to Wave country in the basic forms of Kenjutsu. Kitsune and Neko were currently walking across a body water that separated Fire country from Wave country. As Kitsune and Neko walked toward a half finished bridge they noticed a heavy fog covered the entirety of the bridge.

"Kitsune stay alert there may be enemies ahead." Neko said to her companion.

"Hai, Neko-sensei." Kitsune nodded to her.

As Kitsune and Neko made their way onto the bridge they heard the distinct sounds of a battle. Neko quickly gave a glance to Kitsune. Kitsune nodded to Neko, and they both swiftly made their way to the battle taking place ahead of them. Upon reaching the area just a little ways off of the bridge where the battle was taking place they saw Kakashi suspend overtop of the water trapped in a sphere of water with Zabuza Momochi the Demon of the Hidden Mist standing next to it. The Genin of team seven were standing around the bridge builder Tazuna readying themselves to fight the approaching water clones Zabuza had sent to take care of the bridge builder.

"Kitsune take care of the clones while I free Kakashi-senpai from the water prison." Kitsune nodded to Neko before using the Body Flicker Jutsu to appear in front of a Zabuza clone that was about to hack Sakura in half with it's mighty cleaver. Kitsune instantly drew Shisui and lopped the head of the clone clean off causing the clone to revert to a puddle. The massive blade fell into the ground sticking straight up with the handle in the air. Kitsune flickered out of existence once more just before another two clones dispersed into water puddles. Two of the five remaining clones rushed for Kubikiribocho while the other three attacked Kitsune. No longer having the element of surprise drastically lowered Kitsune's success in battle against the clones even if the clones only had 10% of the Zabuza's strength. Kitsune quickly engaged the three water clones in a Taijutsu bout. It took all of his training up until this point to dodge the attacks of his opponents. Seeing an opening after his dodged a kick the head from one of the clones Kitsune got some distance between himself and the clones. As soon as he was away from the clones he began running through a string of hand seals.

"Haiton: Ash Senbon Jutsu" Twenty senbon made of ash appeared in front Kitsune before launching themselves at the water clones instantly killing them. Turning back to check on the two clones that had gone to retrieve Kubikiribocho. Kitsune saw that Sasuke and Sai had worked together to kill one, but the other had gotten ahold of Kubikiribocho and thrown it toward the real Zabuza that was currently fighting Neko and the recently freed Kakashi. He quickly body flickered over and dispatched the last clone.

Just after she had given orders to Kitsune Neko body flickered to behind the former seven swordsman before trying to strike him with her Katana. Zabuza quickly dodged the blade while keeping control of the water prison that Kakashi was trapped within.

"The Leaf decided to send a couple of ANBU to backup Kakashi's team, huh?" Zabuza asked as Neko poised to attack again. However Zabuza was able to dodge yet another sword slash and followed up with a kick to Neko's abdomen. Neko quickly picked herself up and continued her onslaught, but none the attacks she used were enough to free Kakashi. A few hits did graze Zabuza, but it just wasn't enough and he was able to get a few hits on her as well. Seeing that she wouldn't be able to free Kakashi using normal sword techniques Neko decided to use a Leaf Style Kenjutsu attack.

"Leaf Style Hazy Moon Night" Neko rushed toward Zabuza with a vertical sword slash going at such a speed that an after image was left behind. The attack was fast enough that Zabuza wasn't able to dodged in time causing him to receive a slash mark across his chest as well release the Water Prison Jutsu confining Kakashi.
