Kakashi Sensei laid on a futon in one of the rooms in Tazuna's house. His whole body felt exhausted after his battle with Zabuza and he could barely move a muscle.

"You really overused your Sharingan this time, Kakashi-san." scolded the [Surname] princess, her hands covered in a green light, pressed on the middle of his chest, "Asuka Sensei would be really mad if something happened to you."

Kakashi chuckled lightly, sweatdropping as the image of said woman appeared in his mind. She would definitely kill him when they got back.

"Thank you for this." the silver-haired ninja said, glancing towards the daimyo who just smiled at him, "It's no problem at all. I just wish I had learned this technique earlier."

The Hatake didn't respond, knowing exactly how much she blamed herself for all those deaths three years ago, mainly her brother's.

Then a dark blue-haired woman approached the two, staring at the man in concern, "Are you alright, Sensei?"

"Yeah... It will be just hard to move for about a week..." replied back the Hatake softly, trying to sit up only to feel the pain coursing through his body.

Right away, [Name] pushed him down, "You can't be moving around just yet, Sensei. At least let me finish treating you."

"O-Okay..."

Just then, Naruto and the others came through the door with the client, the blonde gasping in happiness and relief, "Hey! Sensei's awake, dattebayo."

Sakura went to the Jounin's side, sitting beside the [Hair Color] haired ninja, "Come on! Your Sharingan is incredible, but if it puts that much of a strain on your body, it may not be worth it!"

"I'm sorry." muttered Kakashi, Tazuna just laughing it off to take away the tension, "But you know... he did take down a real powerful Ninja like that! We probably don't need to worry for a while."

"By the way, that kid with the mask... who was he?" wondered the pink-haired girl with a thinking face.

Staring up at the ceiling, Kakashi answered, "He was an ANBU black ops from the Kirigakure. It's a mask that the elite Ninja Tracking unit wears."

"The elite Ninja Tracking Unit?" gasped Sakura.

"I'm surprised you don't know about them." said [Name], the light disappearing from her hands and she placed them on her lap, "They are also known as body erasers because their job is to completely dispose of bodies without leaving a trace of that shinobi ever existing."

Humming in approval, the Hatake continued, "The body of a Ninja reveals a variety of things. Ninjutsu secrets and Chakra characteristics which permeate the Ninja of their village... the composition of secret medicines used on a Ninja's body... For instance, if I were to die, every secret about my Sharingan would be investigated thoroughly, and in the worst case, there's a danger that my entire Jutsu could be stolen. In other words, Hunter-Nin are specialists that prevent village secrets from leaking out by killing Missing-Nin who've run away from their village, and completely eliminate their bodies."

Meanwhile, somewhere deep in the forest, Zabuza's body laid on the ground with the ANBU hovering over him, scissors in hand as they moved closer to the man, "First, I'll cut the mouth cloth and have him spit up blood..."

"That's alright..." Zabuza grabbed his right arm with a crazed look, removing the bandages around his mouth, "I'll do it myself..."

Not flinching in the slightest at his tone or him being alive, the boy muttered, "Nanda? You've already come back to life..."
