I'm Back!!!

----------------------------------------------------------------

We tried throwing senbon at him but his chakra deflected it away from him. Moving away from the mirror he's charging at, we transported to the opposite side. He's no longer the Naruto he was a few minutes ago. We sent clones into each mirror and threw senbon at him. Each piecing his back like a porcupine. He stood up a huge burst of chakra caused the senbon to fly out of his back. He ran towards my mirror and smashed it. Quickly moulding out the mirror, I aimed a senbon at Naruto's back. He jumped away before I could land a hit. As I try to run to the mirror Naruto grabs my arm and swings me around.

Kakashi pulled out a scroll from his pocket and threw it in to the air. He cuts his thumb and whips the blood onto the scroll. "Zabuza. I don't mean to spoil your fun. I know you like to stretch these things out but how about we put and end to this now." Kakashi said as he spun the scroll around like a ribbon. "Come on. What do you say? We're both busy people." "Hm. Tempting. Curious to see how you'll back up those words. Show me Kakashi!"

~~~~Back~To~Ice~Mirrors~~~~

The sheer forces of Naruto's chakra smashed the ice mirrors into oblivion. With a chakra filled fist he punches me full force in the face. S*** this hurts. I land on the floor with a loud thud. My mask breaking in to pieces. As I stand up the rest of the ice mirrors shatter causing Haku to fall to the floor. I steadily stand up. As Naruto charges towards me my mask falls bit by bit. I wonder if he'll put two and two together because I made my fake face similar to my real face. His fist stops right in front of my face. "Why do you look so familiar!" "Why do you not strike? Did you not just vow to avenge your comrades death by killing me or was that vow just empty words." I said, blood dripping down my mouth.

Naruto starts growling and punches me hard in the face. I stumble back a couple steps and fall. Ouch. This hurts so much. "Oh and Yoso." "Yes, child?" "I want you to be healing me just before I teleport. Got that?" "Yes but why child?" "You'll see." As I lift myself up I spit out blood. "No. That won't do. You're still holding back. If that was all the strength you put in to it you'll never be able to keep your vow. Perhaps he didn't mean that much to you as you pretend. To show mercy to those you oppose to serve, to allow his enemies to live when you can strike them down. This is not compassion. It is a betrayal of your life's very purpose. For what reason do you exists then? You're of use to no-one. Your life has no meaning. It is mere existence. Day after day of mere struggle signifies nothing." I say. God was it hard to memorise that. "Yeah well, speak for yourself." Naruto said. "Are you really that blind little one. I am speaking of myself. This day has shown that I am no longer any use to Zabuza."

"Zabuza. Why that guy anyway?! To devote your life to a rotten skunk who does not know the meaning of honour. If he's really the one person that matters to you. Man that's the sorriest thing I've ever heard." "There were once overs that mattered to me. Long ago. My father, mother and my brother. Haku. I was born in the land of water. A small village where the snow lies deep in Winter. My parents were farmers and very poor. Our life was hard but we were content. My parents were good to each and kind to Haku and me. Yes. We were happy once but then everything changed. Because of something that happened long before Haku and I were born, everything changed." "What do you mean? What was it? What happened?" "It wasn't my doing. It is in the blood." "Blood? So what was it? You said something happened that changed everyone."  "It was our father that changed. He killed my mother and almost killed Haku and me. After years of suffering and the horrors of civil war. The people of my land had come to fear and hate anyone who carried the Kekkei Genkai in their blood."

"Kekkei genkai?" "The advanced blood line trait f a clan. It's jutsus and abilities past down from generation to generation. Because of their unique abilities, the clans were used as mercenaries that fought in many battles and were feared. But when the wars were over they were despised and shunned by people who feared the presence would only bring more war and misfortune. So it was after these wars the clans went in to hiding denying the blood line trait that flowed in their veins. Concealing their unique abilities knowing that being discovered meaned certain death. If you had searched that boys memories I'm sure you would have found it there to. The cruelty of people. Their fears of things they don't understand. For years our mother was successful in hiding the blood line trait. She met and fell in love with a simple farmer and they were married. After that our mother thought she'd lead an ordinary peaceful life to the end of her days. Our father had seen. So he knew our secret. Our mothers, Haku's and mine. When at last we were our self again, we were no longer ourselves. Our father and mother were gone. But I knew something else had been taken from us. Something even more important. And that was when we truly despaired."

"More important than your mother and father. What?" "Our purpose. In all the world there was no-one who needed us. We were unnecessary. Why is it you're so determined to become Hokage? Because you want all eyes in your village to look at you and recognise you as a great ninja. You see that is only through the eyes of others that our little lives have a significance. When there is no-one that sees you or even looks at you it is as if you do not exist. When Zabuza came and looked at us his eyes were not full of hate or fear. He did not shun me for my strangeness. Indeed. Our special powers were just what he wanted. He made us necessary again. We were happy. I have failed you Zabuza. I am like a weapon that is broken and has no further use. Naruto. Kill me." I can't believe I said that!

"Ninja art: Summoning. Art style fans pursuit jutsu!" Kakashi called out. "I don't know why you bother. Of what use is your jutsu if you can't even find me? But I can find you. Blindly falling in to my trap. You disappoint me Kakashi. I think you're right. It is time to put an end to this." Dogs came out of the ground and jumped onto Zabuza. Biting his limbs to keep him still. "That dreadful noise! What can it be?" Tazuna called out over the noise. "I don't know and I'm not sure I wanna find out." Sakura says back. "I realized if I couldn't see you I'd have to smell you out. That was a summoning jutsu. I was calling fourth my ninja hounds. They can track a scent anywhere. When you attacked me I let you past my guard. I wanted you to cut me. You see it's the smell of my blood on your blade that lead them to you. Surprised? I guess I wasn't the only ne who was blind. Falling in to my trap. You disappoint me Zabuza. Ah the mist is finally clearing and you know what I see? Your death."

"Talk, talk. You gonna talk me to death?" "In a way. Yes. Right now my hounds are playing with you but one word from me they'll tear you apart. Poor Zabuza, see where your ambitions got you. You are always pushing things to far. It was a failed Mizukage assassination and you attempted to coup d'état. You were forced to flee with a few followers you had. Your country's tracker ninja hot on your heels. You became a rogue ninja whose name was quickly known. Even in the village hidden in the leaves. Now you're crazy enough to want to go back and try it again but for that you need money and to get it you stooped do low as to be a hired thug of a swine like Gato. All right Zabuza, enough talk, time to finish it but it won't be with sharingan imitations of some other ninjas tricks. No, it's time I introduce you to my own juts." He did some hand signs then and electric substance formed in a circle and gathered in to his hand. "Lightning blade! I won't allow you to kill Tazuna. He's a brave man with a noble dream. The bridge he's building is the hope of this land and all its people. You're like a disease. By attacking one you infect all and you don't care. That is not the way of a shinobi."

"You're right I don't care. These useless little people and their petty little dreams. Why should they matter to me? I have a dream of my own." "But to have a dream, you need to have a future. You don't. You're futures all used up Zabuza.

~~~~Back~To~Me~~~

"Go on. Strike. Kill me. Why do you hesitate?" I say coaxing him to kill me. That's the most ridiculous story I've ever heard. I mean he treats you like a slave! You're a human being not a weapon or a tool! How can you care about someone like that?!" Naruto shouts at me. "For that very reason." "Huh." "Does that seem so strange to you?" "Well yeah. A little." "When he found us we were without a purpose or reason for living. Zabuza gave us both. But now our usefulness is over the only thing that gave my life meaning." By now Haku had joined us. He was standing silently behind me. "Its gone we ae a broken tool, a blunted weapon of no use to anyone." We said simultaneously. "Go on Naruto. Do it for both of our sakes. Do it, quickly." I say staring at him emotionlessly.
