The chronicles of Tayuya Kommichi

Nine

"I assume you don't know how to walk on water yet?" She questioned as we were jumping through the trees.

"We can do that?!" I yelled out in surprise before stumbling over my feet and almost falling out of the tree.

"Soooooo, no." She sighed, stopping near a fairly large body of water and pointing. "The land of waves is that way, because of you, we have to wait for the next ferry."

I looked down sadly, I really am an inconvenience to her.

"Hey, what're you guys doing here!!" I heard a familiar blonde boy yell out to us. Looking I noticed Team seven was walking up, along with another man.

"Mission." Akari smiled, blood still on her face and clothes, though I don't think she noticed.

"Why are you covered in blood?" Sasuke asked calmly as Sakura and Naruto hid slightly behind Kakashi-sensei.

"Mission." She giggled mysteriously while Kakashi-sensei glared.

"Well, the ferry is here, let's go." The older man slurred.

"Can we travel with you, kakashi-sensei" Akari questioned in a sickly sweet and patronizing tone. He just glared and nodded slightly.

All of us piled into the ferry except for Akari, who just nodded slightly and began running across the water.

"Whoa!! How is she doing that kakashi-sensei!!" Naruto yelled, running to the front of the ferry, causing it to shake violently.

"Sit down!" Everyone yelled and he reluctantly did so, as the ferryman started the boat.

One long ride later and we were finally there. They were tasked with getting Tazuna home safe and sound. Naruto ran ahead and started looking around for a way to one up Sasuke.

"Over there!" He exclaimed while throwing a kunai. All of us looking at him with wide eyes.

"Hmm, it was just a mouse." He said, a smug look on his face.

"Mouse, hmm, ya right! Everyone can see through your stupid act! You're so obvious it's embarrassing!" Sakura yelled, pointing at naruto with an annoyed look on her face.

"Naruto, those are kunai knives, they're dangerous!" Kakashi-sensei stressed to Naruto, while Sasuke just hnned.

"STOP TRYING TO SCARE ME YOU SCRUFFY LITTLE DWARF!!!!" Tazuna yelled, his face turning beet red.

Naruto started mumbling more nonsense before throwing another kunai into the bushes. Sakura came up and bashed him on the back of the head while I went to go see if he hit anything.

I moved the bush and looked to see a pure white rabbit, looking scared to death, with a kunai right above it's little head.

"Hmm" I looked up to see kakashi-sensei right behind me. Hmm, this makes me wonder... Where is Akari? She should have met up with us on shore.

"Look out!" Kakashi-sensei yelled suddenly, pulling me out of my thoughts of my little sister and immediately on high alert as I ducked.

A sword came flying past us, lodging itself into the tree behind us. I look up slowly to see a guy with cow leg warmers appear on the handle of the sword. Kakashi-sensei let out a grunt of what seemed like annoyance and glared up at the man. This can't be good.

"Well Well if it isn't Zabuza Momochi, Rogue ninja from the village hidden in the mist." Kakashi-sensei said calmly. Suddenly, Naruto darted out, probably thinking of outdoing Sasuke or some nonsense like that before kakashi-sensei stopped him.

"You're in the way, get back." Kakashi-sensei said, his voice gravely and serious.

"But Why?!" Naruto protested.

"He's not like those other ninjas, he's in a whole other league. If he's our opponent, i'll need this." Kakashi-sensei began reaching up toward his headband.

"Kakashi of the sharingan eye, Did i get that right?" Zabuza asked, causing both me and sasuke to look toward our sensei in surprise. I heard only the uchiha had the sharingan, meaning only sasuke and itachi should have it. Why does kakashi-sensei?

"It's too bad, huh? You'll have to hand over the old man." Zabuza glared down at kakashi-sensei, who just looked on seriously, hand still over his headband.

"Now, quick manchi formation, protect the bridge builder! And stay out of this fight." Kakashi-sensei commanded. "I taught you teamwork, now it's time to use it." None of us heeded zabuza as we quickly obliged the order. Kakashi-sensei lifted up his headband shortly after, revealing the sharingan I had only ever seen on itachi.

"Well, looks like I get to see the sharingan in action. This is an honor." Zabuza said, fully turning around on the sword.

"Everyone keeps saying sharingan sharingan, will someone please tell me what sharingan is?" Naruto asked, well more like demanded. After explaining it to him, to which even zabuza pitched in, i heard a faint giggle coming from behind him. I look up to see Akari, casually leaning against his side.

"Ooooh, nice history lesson Zaza." Akari winked and stuck her tongue out. "Someone's scared of it."

"Akari! What are you doing with the enemy?! Get down here now!" I yelled, stress and worry leaking into my voice. Not for Akari's safety, but for the fact that people will distrust her more now.

"What are you doing with a rogue ninja?" Kakashi-sensei questioned, eyes narrowing suspiciously. See what I mean.

"Hey, I'm on neither side my friend." Akari put her hands up defensively, the sleeves to her akatsuki cloak rolling up, showing off the bandages on her right arm, along with pure black nail polish on all of her nails. One signature of the akatsuki.

"I will have to report this to the hokage." Kakashi-sensei glared up at her.

"Go ahead, if you make it out alive, I'll consider taking sides. " She smirked evilly, her tail waving and lightly skimming Zabuza's arm before she jumped to another branch. "Have fun."

After she said that mist started covering the entire area. Causing us to lose visibility.
