Sacrifice No Jutsu
Fay stood up and dusted herself off. Looking over to Sakura and Tazuna, Fay flashed them a smile and a double thumbs up. They looked at her in confusion, after all, they were all just told they would die. But knowing Fay, they tried to ignore her inappropriate behavior. Just then, the ground started shaking, causing the two to question what was happening. No longer cross from her little rant, Fay turned to her pink haired team mate.
"Weeell... Naru-chu kinda got an upgrade and almost killed Haku but stopped, Sauske is technically dead, and Haku is begging Naru-chu to kill him now. Over in town, Inari is trying to gather up people to fight, and Kaka-chi is about to kill Zuzu... That clear things up a bit?"
Sakura and Tazuna stared at Fay in disbelief for a moment before Sakura grew upset.
"Fay! How could you say that about Sauske-kun?! Of course he isn't dead! How dare you-"
Fay didn't say anything and simply stared out into the fog. She could see everything happening, despite the thick fog. Sakura was still scolding Fay when she suddenly turned to the pink haired girl.
"Sorry, but I gotta go... But look! The fog is clearing up! Stay sharp kay?!"
Without another word, Fay disappeared from view, leaving Sakura to scream after her. Fay was nowhere in sight now. Kakashi was just about to plunge his hand through Zubaza's chest when Haku appeared and took the blow instead. Everything froze as blood poured from the boys dead body. His last act was gripping Kakashi's arm to trap him. After the initial shock, Zubaza claimed that Haku was a great tool and quickly swiped at Kakashi. The silver haired jonin however, managed to block the attack while keeping Haku's body from being destroyed. Things started to speed up again when Naruto ran over. Sakura quickly realized that Sauske wasn't there and that her crush was now dead. She quickly ran to him and cried over his body, leaving Naruto to suffer alone. Kakashi and Zubuza were still fighting and the rouge nin now lost use of his left arm. Everyone couldn't help but remember what Fay had said only moments ago. Everything was happening just as she said they would. How could she know that? The strange girl was still nowhere to be found and everyone had nothing left to do but keep fighting.
Which they did. Kakashi and Zubaza continued to fight until the rouge nin lost use of both his arms. In the moment before they continued their fight, a short man in a suit made himself known, along with a hoard of lackeys. To put things bluntly, Gato fired Zuzu, then hit a dead Haku. Naru managed to make Zuzu cry over Haku's death. Then Zuzu managed to kill Gato with no arms. Sauske woke up, never having really been dead in the first place, and Zuzu passed out due to being stabbed in the back and loosing blood. The group of thugs threatened the village, but the villagers showed up and with the help of some shadow clones, they managed to scare away the thugs. Everything was over. Or so they thought. Clapping was heard from up on the crane near the end of the bridge. A certain purple haired girl was sitting up there happily while applauding the show below. With an effortless jump, Fay landed next to Zuzu's body and smiled warmly.
"You guys did great. I'm so proud of you all! Now that the lesson is over, it's MY turn! Hey! Haku! Come on down! Someone want to see you!"
Everyone's eyes turned to the girl as she spoke. Her team watched her warily as she praised them. However, when she said Haku's name, Everyone's eyes widened. Back up on the crane, another person stood and jumped down. It was Haku, alive and completely unharmed. Giving Fay a quick bow, he knelt down next to Zuzu and smiled sadly.
"I'm sorry I worried you. I should have been there for the rest of the fight. But Fay-sama wouldn't let me leave my spot. I beg your forgiveness..."
Everyone was silent from shock. When they looked back to where Haku's body was, they were greeted by the sight of a puff of smoke and a stuffed animal taking the boys place. As if that weren't enough, the stuffed animal stood up on its own and bounced over to Fay. Fay in turn picked up the toy and hugged it to her chest. She flashed everyone a peace sign. Zuzu was the first to snap out of his shock as he attempted to speak. Key word attempted. Whipping her head around, Fay growled slightly and looked down at the injured man.
"Save your strength idiot! I can't heal you if you're already dead..."
This once again shocked everyone into silence. Fay knelt down on the other side of Zuzu and placed her hands over him. A green glow engulfed the man's body and the swords and spears in his back slowly started to disintegrate into the air. After a few moments, the glowing stopped and Zubaza was completely healed. With wide eyes, he looked down at himself and sat up. Fay looked over to her team and smiled, though they probably couldn't see it due to her mask. Looking at the two rouge nin's in front of her, Fay spoke softly to them so that no one else could hear. After a moment, Zabuza nodded and Haku smiled happily. Climbing to her feet, Fay skipped over to her team and gave a close eyed smile.
"Happy ending~ Well, let's get off this bridge. I feel like a party is in order!"
Before anyone could speak, Fay jogged over to the townsfolk and cheered with them. Kakashi looked after Fay with wide eyes. He knew what she just did was close to impossible, except for maybe a sanin. Naruto looked at her with curiosity and awe, seeing as she seemed to save two lives and all. Sauske narrowed his eyes. He didn't know what happened, but he didn't trust that girl. As for Sakura, she was so glad that Fay managed to save everyone, but was confused and upset. Fay had just left her, let her think Sauske and everyone had really died. It was too cruel. But what exactly could she say about it? Nothing for now at least.
