The Ninja and The Rose

Zero Visibility

"Sasuke, Ruby, Naruto! Take this guy out! you can do it!" Sakura said trying to encourage them.

"Don't Sakura. Don't push them." Kakashi warned.

Looking away from her teammates Sakura looks at Kakashi in confusion. "Huh?"

"Even if they somehow found a way to overcome the mirror Jutsu, they still couldn't defeat this ninja." Kakashi announced dreadfully.

"How can you be sure?" Sakura asked.

But before she could get an answer Zabuza started to laugh manically.

Kakashi narrows his eyes at the assassin for a moment before he answered his student. "They have a desire to win. But they don't have the instinct to kill." Kakashi stated.

Sakura's eyes widen when she takes in what her sensei is trying to tell her.

"That boy is a whole other breed. He lives for pain. He thrives on it." he then added.

"Exactly." Zabuza said smugly.

"Your village has become complacent. Your trainees never learn the most important lesson of all, to kill the feelings in their own hearts. To crush an opponent mercilessly. To destroy with no emotion or regret." Zabuza proclaimed as the blue hue from his chakra envelopes his body entire body.

"But then, sensei, what are we going to do? Please tell us?" Sakura asked.

But Kakashi stayed silent as he thinks about what he could do.

He could make a break for it to save his students but doing so would leave Tazuna out in the open and give Zabuza the opening he needs to kill the bridge builder in one fatal swing.

And another option is that he could use the Shadow Clone Jutsu to make an army of clones, but there's a good chance that Zabuza would just make Water Clones to make the odds even and in that scenario the only thing Kakashi would be doing is wasting Chakra.

And after thinking everything over again the copy ninja chuckles knowing that he has no choice but to use his Sharingan and so with that he grabs his headband and held it tight.

*The Sharingan.* Sakura thought realizing what her sensei is about to do.

And only Zabuza only chuckled at the fact that the Jonin was about to use the Sharingan again. "You're no fun, Kakashi, using the same old trick." The mist ninja stated as he reaches into his pocket and rushes forward.

And when he got close enough, he takes out the thing he was reaching for which was a Kunai and brought it down right on his eye.

"Sensei no!" Sakura exclaimed but then her eyes widen when she saw that Zabuza's attempt to hinder Kakashi blind had failed since Kakashi had used his free hand to block the attack at the cost that Zabuza's kunai had stabbed right into his palm.

And even though a normal person would be screaming their heads off right now from the sheer amount of pain Kakashi didn't cry but instead just glared at his enemy and said, "If it's just an old trick, why did you just stop me?" Kakashi questioned challengingly.

Zabuza laughs at that stupid question. "Let your opponent see your Jutsu too many times, and he'll find a way to use it against you." He stated.

"Then count yourself lucky. You're the only man alive wo's seen my Sharingan twice. Show's over, there won't be a third time." Kakashi proclaimed.

"Even if you did defeat me, you'd have no chance against Haku." Zabuza stated.

Sakura gasped at that and looks at the Crystal Ice Mirrors, worried for her teammates and started to think. *Is that possible? That boy in the mask is stronger than Kakashi Sensei?*
