Not The Same Person (Kitsune/Anbu Naruto)

Chapter 6

'It seems I've overused my sharingan' Kakashi said in his heart.

"Are you alright, sensei?" Tsunami asked.

"Not really, it will be hard just to move for about a week"

Naruto and the others came to Kakashi sensei's place.

"Kakashi sensei! You're awake" said Naruto.

"Your sharingan is fantastic but if it puts that much of a strain on your body, it may not be worth it" Said Sakura

"S-sorry"

"But you know, he did take down a real powerful ninja like that. We probably don't need to worry for a while" Said Tazuna

"Anyway, that kid with the mask ... who is he really?"

"He was an anbu black ops from the hidden mist village. It's mask that elite ninja tracking unit wears. They are known as the body erasers and they job is to erase evidence that a ninja was alive. A ninja's body contains a lot of secrets like ninja technique and chakra of the village it was in. In other words, Tracker Ninja are specialists that prevent village secrets from leaking out by killing Rogue Ninja who've run away from their village and completely eliminating their bodies." Kakashi explained to his student.

"Hurm ... but I think Zabuza is not dead" Naruto said.

Everyone looked at Naruto. "What do you mean, Naruto?"

"Hurm .... I mean ...." Naruto tried to complicate his words. If he continues to explain to them, they will all suspect that he was previously just acting. "What did the kid with the mask do with Zabuza?"

"How do we know, the boy took Zabuza away" Sasuke said

Kakashi realized what Naruto wanted to say. "Yeah, that's right. If he needed proof he'd killed Zabuza, he could simply have taken the head. And the question is the weapon that Ninja tracker kid used to kill Zabuza is...."

"Juts a regular senbon" Naruto said.

"That is impossible" Sakura and Sasuke can't believe what they heard

"Naruto! If you notice that why don't you tell me or give me a hint?" Kakashi asked.

"I think I've given you all a clue, am I wrong?"

Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke were silent. They remember when Naruto stopped the ninja before he left.

In Unknown Places In The Forest

Zabuza tried to move but immediately felt pain running through his body.

"You will be numb for about a week and won't be able to move, but since you're Zabuza, you perhaps you'll soon be able to move" said the man.

"You're so innocent, smart and untainted. That's what I like about you, Haku"

Haku smiled at Zabuza. "By the way, who is that yellow-haired boy?"

"Huh? Why did you ask? If I'm not mistaken, they called him Naruto."

"Naruto? I think we need to be careful with him. He's very dangerous. When I was about to take you away, he stopped me as if he knew I was saving you. But he acted like a fool when in front of his friends."

"I see. He is a dangerous person. Just like your situation, when I tried to kick him he managed to dodge the kick, but he pretended to be kicked by me." Zabuza said seriously.

"It seems we need to pay more attention to the boy."

"Yeah, you're right"
