Stranger things have happened.....or maybe not.

Gatou

My Apologies for the delayed update, i hope you like this chapter will be posting more soonish....

Their attention turned toward Sakura and Zabuza as everyone stopped fighting. Sakura was about to continue talking when she felt a familiar presence. She whipped her head around and her eyes narrowed. “Gatou.” Zabuza mumbled and Sakura nodded. Soon after Gatou and his men came in view standing on the other side of the bridge. “Zabuza, I see that you are incapable of completing your job so I will just have you die right on this bridge and take care of the ninja myself.” Gatou said leaning on his cane a little, some of them men behind him laughing. (AN: sorry not sure what he says) Sakura looked over at Zabuza a smirk going on her face under her wrapping. “I’ll make you a path.” Sakura said taking out a kunai. Zabuza smiled a little bit and held out his hand “Give me a kunai.” Sakura then smiled and pulled out an extra kunai and handed it to him. “Ready, old man” Sakura said with a smile and flipped her kunai around in her hand. “hah, old man thats a new one.” Zabuza said and nodded his head getting ready to dash forward. “Alright lets go.” Sakura said then dashed forward getting close to the first two men with incredible speed. She slashed her kunai up into the man's throat and slashed sideways cutting it. Sakura jumped off of that man and went to the next, which she stabbed in the chest and carved an X into it. Zabuza ran forward getting behind Sakura as she slashed someone in the knee. He jumped over her and stabbed someone in the neck whose spear was aimed at Sakura. He then felt something on his shoulder and saw Sakura dive off of his shoulder into a man stabbing him in the arm. Zabuza went forward as he saw Gatou try and run away. Sakura took out men that were behind him and threw her kunai at a man that had a sword ready to slash Zabuza. This left her with only her hands, but because of the men she took out there was a clear path to Gatou for Zabuza. Zabuza slashed a mans throat as he passed him and jumped forward grabbing Gatou by the shirt collar.

Sakura smiled as she saw Zabuza reach Gatou but her smile faded as she saw a man throw a spear. “Zabuza behind you!” Sakura yelled trying to get to him as fast as she could but men were blocking her way. It was too late the spear went into Zabuza’s back near his heart, he had gotten Gatou’s head before it happened. Gatou fell into the water Zabuza almost going after him. Sakura dashed through the men not caring when she got slashed or stabbed. She jumped over a man and got stabbed in the leg but made it to the ledge in time to gab Zabuza’s leg before he fell. Sakura let out a sigh of relief as she was hoisting him up from the ledge. Sakura got him up as Haku finished off the rest of Gatou’s men. Sakura ripped the spear out and immediately started healing the wound before he bled out. It took about an hour to heal the wound perfectly along with all the other wounds he had. “If you were a healer couldn't you have healed my side before this?” Zabuza said in his normal voice as he sat up, a pained expression going on his face. “You pissed me off, you deserved to suffer for a bit.” Sakura said with a smile. “Why didn't you heal your cut then?”

“Not sure I guess it just was not that big of a deal, its not really any use healing it now though. Its most likely going to scar.” Sakura said with a shrug of her shoulders. “Eh, but I could live with this look, it makes me look more intimidating.” Sakura said playing with the wrapping around the bottom half of her face. “You are already intimidating enough.” Kakashi mumbled taking out his book. “What was that sensei?” Sakura asked raising an eyebrow. “oh nothing Sakura.” Kakashi said with a sigh. “Any way if we are done here we need to head back home.” Kakashi said with a bored tone. Sakura sighed and nodded her head in agreement. “Yeah then we have to report.” Sakura grimaced at how much work that would be. “Yeah.” Kakashi said and sighed again. Sakura helped Zabuza to his feet and walked toward Zabuza’s sword which he dropped after their battle. She picked it up with ease and flipped it in her hand a little. “You know considering how big the blade of the sword is its strangely even in weight.” Sakura said flipping it in her hand again. “yeah.” Zabuza said now being behind her. Sakura held the sword by the handle and handed it back to him. In a flash of movement Sakura had her sword out and it clanged on Zabuza’s.
