life as a shinobi - Naruto fanfic (Sasuke love story)

chapter 11

Yuki’s pov

We sail across the river in a raggedy old boat, all you can hear is the boat guy’s paddle squeaking well that is until a loud mouth sakura speaks up

“the fog’s so thick, you can hardly see anything” I roll my eyes at her

“thanks for pointing out the obvious dumbass” I glare at Sakura, she gladly does the same.

“alright that’s enough you two, I can’t be bothered to deal with your girly disputes” Kakashi sighs, exasperated.

“we’ll be arriving soon” the boat man informs us, Kakashi nods in reply.

“mr Tazuna, before we reach the peer I want to ask you something. The men who’re after you, I need to know why. If you don’t tell us then I’m afraid we’ll have to end this mission when we drop you ashore.” Kakashi worns Tazuna

“I guess I have no choice but to tell you. No, I want you to know the truth…” Tazuna goess on about how the land is in trouble and how the rich man Gato is the one after Tazuna’s life because he doesn’t want to bridge to be built or he would no longer have any control over the land of waves. He also tells us about the land being poor and stuff. You get the picture?

“It’s ok if you leave me to be assinated, I completely understand, but my family is a completely other story. My grandson would be shouting ‘Grandad! Grandad! I want my Grandad!’ and then my dauter will live the rest of her life blaming and hating ninjas for leaving me to die.” Tazuna imitates his family.

That sly geezer is trying to guilt us isn’t he?

“well I guess we have no other choice than to carry on with the mission.” Kakashi smiles at Tazuna.

I have to give him some credit on the guilt tripping there.

Later on we’re dropped off at the shore and are on our way to Tazuna’s house.

I walk alongside Kakashi feeling a bit off as if someone is following us; I think Naruto feels the same when he starts throwing kunai randomly. But then an image flashes into my mind again, just like last time when the other ninja were attacking us. I see an image of a man in a mask made of bandages, carrying a large sword as long as his body hiding in a bush.

I pull a kunai out and throw it at the bush I saw in the image. I’m certain he was there.

“yuki! Naruto! Stop being idiots and scaring us like that!” Sakura shouts at us, but I don’t care.

We all go over to the bush, to see if I hit anything. I know I didn’t, I can feel it and in a way see that I haven’t hit the guy. What we find instead is a white rabbit scared to death with my kunai lodged into the tree just above its head. Naruto picks up the rabbit and starts apologising for no reason at all.

We stand on a field by the river. I can’t help but still feel as if the man’s here.

“guys, keep your guard up. Something doesn’t feel right.” I tell my team, one hand on my katana ready to fight.

“stop being stupi…” Sakura began but wasn’t able the finish

“get down!” Kakashi shouts at us, we all instantly obey when the huge sword from the image comes flying at us and lodges itself into a tree. The man from the image appears on top of the sword looking down at us, ready to kill.

“well, well isn’t it the rogue ninja, Zabuza momoichi of the hidden mist.” Kakashi takes a few steps towards the so called ninja Zabuza.

Naruto begins to charge for Zabuza but is stopped by Kakashi.

“stand back. You’ll just get in the way. This ninja is way more advanced than the other ninjas. I’m gonna need this.” Kakashi puts one hand to his bandana, which is covering his eye

“ and you’re Kakashi of the sharingan. Correct?” Zabuza sneers at Kakashi. Sasuke looks shocked by what he’s just heard. “now hand over the old man.”

“quick! Manji formation! Protect the bridge builder and stay out of this fight! I taught you teamwork, now’s the time to use it.” Kakashi orders us; we get into position to protect Tazuna.

Kakashi pulls up his bandana to reveal his eye with a scar over it. He takes his hand away and opens his eye, blazing a hot red with three comma like shapes surrounding his pupil.

“looks like I get to see the sharingan in action.” Kabuza glares at us from above.

“everyone keeps saying sharingan! Sharingan! What is a Sharingan?!” Naruto shouts frustrated.

“Sharingan is a rare power that resides in the eyes. The user of this visual jutsu or dojutsu can instantly see and comprehend any tai, gen and ninjutsu and can reflect the attack back on the attacker. The sharingan is a special and a rare form of dojutsu. However there is more to the sharingan than that, a lot more.” Sasuke fills us in

“you got it right boy but you only scratched the surface. The sharingan can analyze an opponent’s technique and then copy it to the smallest detail.” Zabuza added “now enough talking, I need to exterminate you old man.” We all guard Tazuna and Kakashi steps forward ready to fight one on one.

“so I’ll have to fight you first Kakashi? So be it.” Zabuza pulls his sword out of the tree, jumps down on top of the water and begins to release a ton of chakra. Thick mist starts to form around us, you can hardly see the people near you.

Kakashi released a surge of chakra and clears away some of the mist. The air felt so thick, suffocating. I wasn’t the only one that felt like this. Sasuke began to raise a kunai to his chest, aiming at his heart.

My heart races, I run to Sasuke and snatch the kunai away from him.

“don’t ever think about doing that. Ever.” I look into his onyx eyes, loosing myself a bit.

“Sasuke! Calm down. I’m not going to let any of my teammates die. I’ll protect you with my life.” Kakashi assures everyone.

And so the fight begins.
