As we made our way towards the Wave Country with Tazuna in tow, tension was palpable. Cannot blame the kids, after all they had just learned that the man they are trying to protect might be killed anytime. Me? Well, I hardly care. We had managed to deal with the Demon Brothers way more efficiently than the original Team 7 ever could. With Hinata's Byakugan, Naruto's newfound skills, and my new techniques, it was easier than breathing.
But the trouble was yet to come. I don’t know what is the deal with Kakashi and his ‘weakness’ at the beginning of the series, but since he feigned death against Demon Brothers, there is a good chance that he will be caught in Water Prison, although it is extremely stupid.
As we approached a large lake, a thick mist rolled in, obscuring our vision. It was eerily quiet, and our senses were on high alert. It didn't take long for us to realize that we were in deep shit when none other than Zabuza Momochi, a rogue ninja from the Hidden Mist Village, appeared out of nowhere with his massive sword, Kubikiribōchō. Joke, he is just a man with a big sword. I mean, who even put this man in the same category with Kisame? Who is that sinner?
The dude is seriously ugly though. Anyways Kakashi wasted no time engaging him in battle. However, despite Kakashi's impressive skills, he was caught in Zabuza's Water Prison Jutsu. Shocker! Naruto and Hinata couldn’t believe it - their badass sensei was trapped in a giant bubble of water, and we were left to fend for ourselves. How? Just how? You are a Kage Level Shinobi for fuck sake. I know Zabuza fed his Chakra to the lake and prevented Kakashi from using it effectively. Zabuza couldn’t even deal with the original Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. Any team Sakura is in gains -100 efficiency.
Kakashi, however, was not as thrilled. "I fucking hate you, Koushin," he said, shooting me a glare that could kill. But I knew he was secretly impressed. “You and your big mouth.”
“Oops?” I raised my arms and said weakly.
"Run!" Kakashi shouted from his watery prison. "His water clone can't separate from the original body for too long. If you run now, you still have a shot."
But there was no way we were leaving Kakashi behind. I sighed and exchanged glance with Naruto, and we knew what we had to do.
"Sorry, Kakashi-sensei," I said with a smirk, pulling out two kunai from my holster. It was time to put my newly learned techniques to the test. With both kunai in hand, I threw them simultaneously and formed hand seals. "Kage Shuriken Jutsu!"
My two kunai multiplied into eight, then sixty-four, as they flew towards Zabuza's water clone. The bastard tried his best to deflect them with his oversized sword, but some managed to slip past him. At the same time, Naruto dashed towards the original Zabuza and threw his Fūma Shuriken, casting his own Kage Shuriken Jutsu.
In an instant, a storm of kunai and shuriken rained down on Zabuza. He managed to block most of them with his sword and evade the rest, looking like a total boss as he did so. But just as he thought he had avoided our attacks, all the Fūma Shuriken transformed into Naruto clones, and the kunai became me.
"Clone Great Explosion Jutsu," Naruto and I chanted in unison, and a massive explosion rocked the area. When the smoke cleared, Zabuza was heavily injured and looked like a trapped animal, while Kakashi was free from his watery prison, completely unscathed. Water Prison is sort of a shield after all, so in a sense, Zabuza protected Kakashi, yup I can tease him with that later. As for Zabuza, he was whizzing like an old dog at a corner.
That is what you get for being cocky. Dumbass.
With Zabuza weakened and our sensei back in action, the tide of the battle had definitely turned in our favor. We continued to press our advantage, working together as a seamless unit to keep Zabuza on the defensive. Naruto's furious attacks and my Raiton techniques proved to be a deadly combination, while Hinata provided support from the backlines, ensuring Tazuna's safety.
Kakashi, still slightly pissed about the whole situation, joined the fray, attacking Zabuza with a renewed ferocity. It was clear that he wanted to make up for his earlier 'weakness.' Can't say I blame him; nobody wants to be stuck in a giant bubble of water like a goldfish. Welp, except maybe a goldfish.
As we continued to corner Zabuza, Kakashi couldn't help but marvel at our teamwork. We were like a well-oiled machine, with each of us anticipating the others' moves and adapting accordingly. He was having his wet dream.
Our relentless assault forced Zabuza to step up his game, and he began using some seriously advanced techniques. He summoned a massive water dragon that barreled towards us, threatening to wipe us out in one fell swoop. But we didn't flinch. Instead, we countered with our own powerful jutsu, creating an epic clash of water, fire and lightning.
The battlefield turned into a chaotic spectacle of elemental forces. Water and lightning crackled in the air, creating a symphony of destruction that was both terrifying and exhilarating. Through it all, the secret watcher had never appeared.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity of exchanging blows, Kakashi managed to land a decisive hit on Zabuza. His Doton covered fist connected with his chest, sending him flying back and crashing into the ground, defeated.
He was panting after using so many jutsu, exhausted from the battle, but there was a sense of elation around Naruto. He was beaming with pride.
Kakashi looked around at us, his gaze lingering on the team for a moment. "Well, kids, I have to admit, you've got some skills," he said begrudgingly, but with a hint of pride in his voice.
"You're not so bad yourself, sensei," I replied, smirking. "Maybe next time, you won't get stuck in a water bubble."
He just rolled his eyes and shook his head, but I knew he secretly appreciated our help. He is just too shy to admit it, I know.
