Snowy Heart. (Naruto FF)

"I'd love to."

   "Zabuza Momochi...has a daughter?!" Kakashi muttered to himself before looking over to Saruko, who was staring with a blank face at the blurred group in front of her. "Is this true? Are you in fact Zabuza's daughter?"

   Not risking using her voice, Saruko simply nodded in agreement, pulling out a kunai from her pouch and lowering herself into a fighting position. "Now, take care of the brats for me, would you?"

   "Yes, Papa." She whispered, flashstepping over to where the younger group was at, immediately slashing at the pinkette first. However, another kunai blocked hers as Naruto stepped in her path.

   Saruko slammed her foot into his side, sending him flying just before she jumped out of the way of Sasuke's shurkien. While in the air, she sent several senbon needles flying towards the four targets around her. Sakura managed to move her and Tazuna out the way in time, but the boys weren't as lucky. Naruto got a few in his leg and shoulder, while Sasuke was scrapped several times by the needles.

   'Despite the fog, her aim is perfect. If we don't keep moving, we'll be done for in a few minutes.' Sakura thought to herself, shakily pulling out a kunai of her own.

   "Sakura, protect the bridgebuilder. Let Naruto and I handle this." Sasuke told her rather softly. However, Saruko still heard what their plan was now.

   'So their names are Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, huh?' She thought, secretly making a handsign with only her left hand, seeing as her right was holding the kunai. "Ice Style, Frozen Wind Blades."

   As a result of Saruko's soft command, the water in the mist surrounding her began to freeze in sharpened sheets before being launched through the air at the boys. They jumped out the way, causing the trees behind them to take the impact, and toppling over as a result. Saruko noticed that a blur of a pair's presences appear and then quickly disappear. Her eyebrows scrunched together as she glanced over her shoulder. 'Onii-chan? Then that means the other one is...'

   "Hey, don't think you can ignore us for a second, Kasu! Believe it!" Naruto shouted, charging recklessly at the seemingly distracted blonde. Just when he came into range, Saruko grabbed his wrist, twisting it and disarming him, before swinging him around and throwing the blond into Sasuke.

   Glancing over to the side, Saruko noticed the white haired ninja trapped in Zabuza's Water Prison Jutsu, causing her to smirk a bit. 'I knew Papa could handle it. He's the strongest ninja I know.'

   "Sensei!" Naruto cried out, noticing Kakashi's struggling. He called out to his students, telling them to take the bridgebuilder and run. After feeling the strength of the supposed offspring of Zabuza, Naruto was tempted to take the opportunity and run with it. However, the dull pain in his right hand served as a reminder.

   A reminder to his oath of pain.

   Thus, the blond looked over to Sasuke and, almost immediately, they had a plan in mind. With a nod, they put it into action, starting with creating a horde's with of Shadow Clones. Most of them went over to postpone Saruko, while some went to attack Zabuza.

   Saruko scoffed, irratated with his tactics. She took a kunai in each hand and charged, eyes only focusing on one of the seven(?) guaranteed kill points, jabbing and moving on to the next. Soon, with in a few minutes, Saruko had taken down every clone sent against her. Looking up, Saruko realized that she had been played.

   And that Zabuza was now being attacked by that blond buffoon.

   Saruko flashstepped over to where Naruto had thrown a pair of kunai at him. One only grazed him, while the other found home in Saruko's throat.  She fell onto her knees, hands grasping at her neck as everyone seemed to freeze. Naruto, realizing what he had done, was horrified; Sasuke stood, staring in disbelief that she would do such a thing; Sakura couldn't bare to watch and turned away; Kakashi stared with widened eyes at her loyalty towards such a man; and Zabuza...he simply smiled.
