Chapter 5. Land of Waves Part 1

Naru sighed as the team and Tazuna waited at the gates, once again waiting on their chronically late Sensei. They finally saw Kakashi lazily approaching the gate, and this time not 3 hours late!

"Let's head out." he said with a smile, they nodded and set out towards the Land of Waves, mostly walking in pure silence.

"Say Tazuna-san..." Sakura said looking at him.
"What is it brat?" he said with a slight sneer.

"Your country is the Land of Waves, right?" she asked.

"Yeah, what of it?" he said, she looked to Kakashi.

"Kakashi-sensei, there are ninja in that country too aren't there?" she asked.

"No, there are no ninja in the Land of Waves. But in other countries there are hidden villages each with their own different customs and cultures where ninja reside." he said.

"So, why are there ninja in other countries?" Sakura asked.

"To the people of each country, the existence of ninja means strength, military strength. In other words that's how they protect themselves and maintain the balance of their lands. But ninja villages are not under the control of the government … but when it comes to small islands, like the Land of Waves, it has natural protection from the sea, so they don't have a need for a ninja village." he said.

"Which ones have ninja villages?" Sakura asked blinking.

"The lands that do consist of ninja villages are the Lands of Fire, Water, Lightning, Wind and Earth. All of them each have vast areas of land, together they are known as the Five Great Shinobi Nations." he said. "The Land of Fire has the Village Hidden in the Leaves. The land of Water has the Village Hidden in the Mist. The land of Lightning has the Village Hidden in the Clouds. The land of Wind has the Village Hidden in the Sand and the Land of Earth has the Village Hidden in the Stones." he said. "The leaders of these villages are allowed the title of Kage, which there are only five of in the Ninja World. The Five Kages are the Hokage, Mizukage, Raikage, Kazekage and Tsuchikage."

"So, Hokage-sama is really great!" Sakura said. 'Is that old man really that great? Pshh Yeah right.' Sakura thought.

'He is...' Naru thought with a smile.

"Hey!" Kakashi barked, Sakura stiffened. "You just doubted Hokage-sama didn't you?" he said with a strict tone, Sakura shook her head quickly, Mamoru snorted, Sakura slunk a little and Kakashi chuckled and ruffled her hair. "Well, anyways there are no ninja battles in a C-rank mission anyway, so you can relax. The most we would have to worry about is Bandits or Highwaymen." he said with a smile, she sighed.

"So we won't be running into any foreign ninja or anything like that?" Sakura asked in a sweet voice.

"Heh, not likely." Kakashi said with a chuckle.

Sasuke glanced back and saw Tazuna gulp a little, Mamoru cocked his brow as he felt the nervousness pouring off of Tazuna. 'What's he hiding?' He thought.

They continued to walk for over an hour along the path in the woods, they passed a single water puddle on the ground. Kakashi blinked a few times and sighed quietly. They all walked pass it.

Two ninja's in dark garbs rose up silently from the water puddle and pulled their arms up, chains connected and they wrapped around Kakashi, he gasped in horror, everyone turned around.

"Do it!" Gouzu said.
"Now!" Meizu said with a nod.

Kakashi cried out as they pulled the chains tighter and they cut through his body and it fell to the ground, Sakura screamed in horror, Mamoru growled, Naru gulped.
