Namikaze Naoki || Uchiha Itachi

Chapter 14

While the group walked closer to the destination naoki was slowly but surely waking up. She rubbed her eyes Nd yawned right after, after fully awaking she noticed she was on her sensei's back

"Finally awake, Sleeping beauty?" Kakashi said teasingly and placed the girl down

Naoki gave him an apologetic smile and scratched the back of her head "sorry.."

"Next time, tell us your injuries, understood!" Kakashi added

"Yes sir!" She saluted

Naoki then took a glance at her surroundings, the group was stillborn walking to tazuna's house. Naoki then stretched her arms a bit, thought she recovered nicely from the poison her body still felt a little sluggish..

She then looked at the row before her, Sakura was still walking next to sasuke and naruto was looking a little depressed. Naoki went to catch up with them and ran to her brother, jumping on his back

"Nao?!" He said very surprised

"Naoki?! You're awake?" Sakura said in a similar way

"I'm totally, perfectly fine now" she smiled to strengthen her words

Sasuke sighed

"well, next time tell us.. We were worried.." he said with a small frown

"Yeah, sorry I won't keep it from anyone anymore." She half lied. She would probably still not say anything because she hates making people worried

Naruto could feel that her reply wasn't the most sincere.. but he understood why, so he didn't go to deep into it

"Just Pinky promise." He said holding his pinky out. Naoki pinky promised, and jumped off naruto's back.

And now they were all peacefully walking in the forest when suddenly kakashi shouted

"EVERYONE DUCK!"

kakashi pulled down tazuna while the rest ducked down on their own

They dodged a giant sword that flew across the air hitting a tree. Not long after someone stood on top of the sword handle.

"Momochi Zabuza.. missing-nin from the hidden mist, eh?" Kakashi said facing him seriously and with serious I mean serious

"Everyone get back, this ones on a whole other level.. it'll be a little tough unless I do this.." Kakashi said while pulling his head protector straight revealing his hidden eye

"Ah.. I already get to see the famous sharingan, I'm honored~ but the old man is mine!" The man identified as zabuza said

"Protect tazuna-san and don't enter the fight! That's the teamwork here!" kakashi said to his team

"Zabuza first fight me" he added turning to the missing-nin

Sasuke frowned, sharingan? Wasn't that a trait only available to Uchiha's? Or did he get his from somewhere/someone else? Naruto and naoki knew from where he got it, they were told the story once. Naruto gave sasuke a look that said I-will-explain-later and sasuke just nodded in response

"I have to kill that man! But it seems I have to get through you first, copy ninja kakashi" Zabuza said with an evil grin on his face, thought you couldn't really see it since half his face was covered

Zabuza jumped with his sword and landed on top of the waters. He announced his attack and a thick mist was formed around everyone.

"Momochi zabuza, known for his silent killing.. you won't even notice until you're already dead.." naoki said getting serious too
