Awakening
For the next month or so Yamato put them through their paces, showing each of them their elemental releases, Hinata had lightning as she already knew, but she was stunned to learn she also had a strong affinity for fire release.
Naruto had water release, which didn't surprise him...his mother was a Uzumaki from the village hidden in the whirlpools, so it was natural he would have it too. But he was stunned when it was revealed he was extremely compatible with wind-release jutsus.
Harry had water and earth techniques...but that was natural. He had mokuton, it was to be expected. But what stunned him was that he also had a strong affinity for wind and even an aptitude for lighting and fire. This had stunned even Yamato, seeing as most people don't get around to mastering all the elements until they are well into their careers. The third Hokage hadn't done so until a few years after he was already Hokage.
They would train together as a team for a few hours in the morning, and then Yamato would separate them to go to separate teachers. Naruto and Harry would go to Asuma Sarutobi since he was one of 2 people in the village who had wind release. It was also nice to see their friends again and see how much they were progressing.
Hinata would train with Kakashi since the man had a knack for lightning release and knew quite a bit about fire release.
Then around noon they would reconvene and go on missions, D ranks sucked...but Harry was just glad he wasn't being forced to do them with a belt to his back, he knew Naruto wouldn't hold back for much longer and start demanding higher-ranked tasks.
The last week was different though, since Kakashi and team 7 had left for their first mission outside of the village, so Hinata would join Naruto and Harry since Asuma had fire release knowledge as well, like all Sarutobi. Entering into the Hokage's office Hiruzen looked up in surprise but smiled happily, "Excellent timing Yamato. I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to take your team out on a mission they aren't ready for..."
"What do you mean sir?"
"Kakashi took his team on their first C-rank mission...it was supposed to be an escort mission. Take the guy to the place and done. But the client was less than truthful with his information and on their way to the hidden mist they came under attack from not only the demon Brothers, rogue chunin, but also the ex-hidden mist swordsman Zabuza Momochi with heavy hints that he wasn't the only one after the client. Kakashi has been bedridden due to Chakra exhaustion and the team could use backup. They've already had to fight off random thugs and the like."
"Mission like that is B rank minimum...why didn't he abandon the mission?"
"You know how Kakashi is Yamato. You've worked together enough to know he probably wouldn't back off that easily. Especially with Sasuke and Kiba on his team."
"Yamato sensei...I vote we take this mission. My mum taught me to help out with Chakra exhaustion..." Harry spoke up, getting severe flashbacks of the ministry debacle.
Yamato nodded in defeat, "he's why you want us to go right?"
"All of our medical ninjas are currently unavailable right now. Tsunade is forcing them to go through her lessons to ensure they aren't messing things up in the field. Harry is the only med nin available to send out currently."
Yamato let out a small groan, Tsunade made these tests mandatory once every few months to ensure all medical ninjas were living up to her standards. True, it made the fatality rate of missions drop dramatically...they always seemed to crop up at the worst of times.
"Very well sir. We will head out within a few hours."
Sarutobi turned to the children, "I am sorry about starting you three off so aggressively, but I know you will be able to help." He saw the slight fear in Naruto and Hinata's eyes, but Naruto also had a fair bit of excitement. Probably excited to get to real missions. But Harry shouldnt have those eyes. He rarely saw it, but Harry was far older In spirit than he let on. One day, he would talk to the boy, but for now, he just let it slide.
000
Appearing at the gate he nodded in contentment as he saw his students waiting for him, Harry going over his Inventory.
Not a surprise, Harry knew that Chakra exhaustion was dangerous. Especially for someone like Kakashi, who had a sharigan he could not shut off meaning it was a constant drain on the man's Chakra. He managed to naturally produce enough to counter that problem(and because of that problem he had a huge Chakra store) but if he was dropped down into the exhaustion area it could be fatal if not handled with care.
Tsunade was raising her son right.
"Alright. Let's get to wave country."
"Right!" Naruto grinned as they leaped up into the trees and began to travel.
000
The trip took them about 3 days to make it to the ferry to the poor village, though the ferryman, or rather the ferryman's body, couldn't take them.
"It would seem someone found out about this guy smuggling in team 7." Harry stood and shook his head and stood.
Hinata swallowed heavily, shaking slightly.
Yamato nodded and sighed, "From what I've read a wealthy businessman named Gato has a monopoly on the trade In this village. It would be just like someone like him to get rid of any chance to stop him."
Exiting the house Harry went through a few hand seals and spit out a small fireball, setting the small shack on fire.
"Why'd you do that?" Naruto asked confused as Yamato used wood jutsu to make a new boat for his students.
"The man deserves better than being left out here to rott. We can't stop to bury him, so this was the best option...."
Yamato smiled slightly, "let's go."
Harry and Yamato began walking across as Naruto and Hinata rowed the boat.
"How are you doing that Harry?" Naruto asked.
"It's the next step of Chakra training Naruto. Once you've mastered tree walking you move to water walking."
"Oh." Naruto sighed, he had only just gotten the hang of tree walking, but he still needed to make it consistent.
"I'm quite surprised you've gotten to this level Harry," Yamato commented as the city began to come into view.
"My mother is a stickler for Chakra control. She put me through the standard exercises as fast as she could. Even dug up a few old scrolls from my great grandfather and granduncle that describe a few exercises they invented to improve Chakra control." Harry stated.
Both Naruto and Hinata were stunned, but Yamato nodded, it made sense that two of the greatest ninja to ever live had a few secret exercises they did that they never taught to anyone outside of the family.
As soon as they reached land a Familiar figure appeared, "Hanabi!" Hinata smiled at her sister.
"Yamato sensei. Kakashi sensei got word you'd be showing up, so we've been keeping an eye out for you."
Yamato nodded, "let's get to your hideout. Harry is ready to treat Kakashi."
Hanabi nodded and took off.
They met a woman named Tsunami, and the drunk bridge builder Tazuna before Harry quickly went in to check up on Kakashi.
Harry sighed as he finished his diagnosis, "You're lucky the man didn't think to poison that weapon...physically you're fine." He pulled out a few herbs and began crushing them up.
"What's that?" Kakashi asked as Harry added some form of powder.
"It's a new version of a soldier pill I came up with, mom and Auntie Shizune have been helping me perfect it. Instead of injecting foreign Chakra into your system, which is what causes the backlash you would have with the normal recipe, this stimulates your body into producing Chakra faster than usual. You'll still feel tired, but it'll be a normal tired rather than the knock-out tired typical soldier pills have." He held the bowl out to the man, "We haven't gotten it to pill form, but the recipe works. Mom's tried it on a few different patients."
Kakashi nodded and turned around, not noticing the stunned looks everyone was sending Harry's way.
He wasn't surprised. Tsunade was, bar none, the best healer. It would only be natural for she'd both innovate existing practices and train her son in that way too.
After downing the concoction he sighed as he felt his Chakra reserves begin to fill faster.
"Tell us what happened Kakashi," Yamato said after the man seemed to relax.
Harry frowned after Kakashi finished his explanation of his fight with Zabuza.
"You say that Hunter Nin killed him with Senbon to the neck? It wouldn't happen to be here and here would it?" He tapped a few spots on his neck.
"Yes. It would...." Kakashis eyes widened, "you don't think..."
"Zabuza is not dead." Harry nodded, "By hitting just the right spots you can put the body into a state so much like death that even a Byakugan would be fooled at first glance."
"So he could've attacked again at any point?" Sai asked.
"No. Doing that puts a strain on the body. I doubt Zabuza has been able to move since you three beat him." Harry explained, "It would take him a week or so to fully recover from that. So I would expect him to be up and coming back for more within 48 hours, assuming he was getting treatment right away."
Team 7 swallowed nervously, they had barely managed to free their teacher last time.
"We spend today and tomorrow training. Then the next day we split up." Yamato said, "Protecting the builders in rotation. First Sai and Harry, then Hanabi and Naruto, and finally Hinata and Sasuke. What have you all learned so far?"
Harry glared at Kakashi when it was revealed he hadn't even taught his students Chakra control exercises before taking a mission to be out of the village.
"Granted, most of your team will have some basic knowledge of Chakra control from their clans...but to take a mission outside of the village without teaching them anything Kakashi..." Yamato stared at the man unblinking, his face partially obscured by shadows, freaking out everyone but Harry. Who had seen his mother in a fury and Yamato was not even a blip on the terrifying scale in comparison.
Kakashi chuckled and scratched his cheek, "well...Sasuke insisted."
Harry rolled his eyes, "Sasuke is an arrogant prick who doesn't know the meaning of 'no'. You are a former Anbu agent. Shouldn't you know better?" He ignored the glare the Uchiha sent his way, "I'll take team 7 out and start them on tree climbing sensei." He stood.
"Alright, Harry." Yamato grinned, "should we know anything about Kakashi before you leave?"
Harry paused and nodded, "Yeah. Since this new formula stimulates natural Chakra production Kakashi will have to eat a little more than normal so his body can keep up with it."
"Alright. I'll set up a rotation while you are gone."
Kakashi watched the boy herd his students out, some more reluctant than others, "I suppose I should have trained them..." he mumbled.
"I'm not that surprised. A great team leader you may have been Kakashi. A teacher you were not." Yamato stood.
"I could say the same thing to you, Tenzo."
"I've taught them the basics, but Harry had a grasp of Chakra control past water walking. He was better equipped to help the rest of my team. He's been teaching Naruto since before they graduated."
"I had noticed an increase in talent near the end of his school days...I just figured Kushina Senpai did that."
"She took over after realizing what she did, but Harry helped her realize that blunder." Yamato said standing up, "and keep the Tenzo name to private Kakashi. Lord Third and Lady Fifth want me to go by Yamato now."
"Right." He nodded as Tsunami came in with some food.
000
Harry had to smirk lightly as he watched Sasuke fall off the tree again, failing like this should teach the bastard some humility. Naturally, Hanabi had gotten it pretty quickly, Hyuuga always emphasized Chakra control. She was able to observe the failures of her teammates and improve her attempts.
When you are capable of seeing the Chakra flow of others Jutsus and able to stop them from hitting you by slicing them in half....it was a cakewalk for the Hyuuga, so he had her also start on water walking too.
"Come on Sasuke. Naruto got halfway up the tree far faster than you."
Not technically true, but Sasuke was a lot like Malfoy was in his past life. He was born to a high-class family and believed he was better than everyone else just because he had a modicum of skill, and that everything else should fall into his lap. So by using the obvious disdain he showed towards Naruto, he could inspire the dude to put effort into something.
The parallels between Naruto and Sasuke, and Harry and Draco were unnerving. The only difference is Naruto seemed to identify with Sasuke. He would never be able to even imagine sympathizing with Draco. That dude had been insufferable until he killed one of the only friends he had by playing around with Fiendfyre, and even then not many people had wanted to be around him. The little bastard was trying to bribe a few families into marrying their daughters before he had been reincarnated.
This seemed to light a fire under the boy and he began ascending the tree faster than before.
"I did it, Harry!" Hanabi grinned as she was standing on the water nearby.
Harry turned and smiled, "Great job, try staying on there for as long as you can. That way you can increase your Chakra capacity."
000
That night Kakashi was listening to Harry's report on his team's training exercises, "You think it was wise to have Hanabi do water walking Harry?"
"She had mastered tree walking quickly." Harry shrugged as he ate some of the food that had been supplied, "and as a Hyuuga, she's naturally inclined towards Chakra control anyway. Hinata is the same way. But just in case I ensured she didn't go farther out than she would be able to touch the ground. Even if she had failed she wouldn't have had worse than wet shoes."
Kakashi hummed, on the one hand...the boy went beyond what he expected his students to be. Which irritated him. But on the other hand, Harry wouldn't have had to teach his students if he had trained them in the first place, and he had done it in a safe secure way to ensure she wouldn't be hurt if she failed.
"Next time please make sure to check in with me before doing something like that...I am their sensei after all." He settled with a mild scolding without actually scolding him.
"Not a problem," he shrugged, "how are you feeling? No detrimental effects from my recipe?"
"None at all. I'm almost back up to full strength now. I should be able to take over my team's training tomorrow. Why? Were you expecting bad effects?" He asked.
Harry had pulled out a small notebook and had begun writing in it at his answer. Looking up he grinned, "Not at all. We just haven't used this stuff on someone who was constantly using Chakra at the same time. I was curious if it Changed something."
"Constantly...you mean my eye?" He said, stunned that a fresh Gennin would understand his situation.
Harry nodded and closed his notebook, "yes. You were not born with that eye, and therefore can't turn it off, which means it's a constant drain on your Chakra reserves. It's a win-lose with you. Because you are constantly using Chakra your reserves are on Par with the third Hokages...but because of your eye you can't contain that much Chakra so you only have access to a high Jonin, low Kage level." Harry explained.
Kakashi shook his head, "I don't envy Yamato. He's got a prodigy on his hands..." he sighed. Only Kushina had figured that one out, at least before he had become close to the Sandaime.
"I wouldn't call myself a prodigy. I hate titles like that, it both puts expectations on my shoulders and makes people think I think I'm better than them since they aren't prodigies. I just work my ass off to be the best I can be."
Kakashi stared at the boy, his face not revealing any of the surprise he felt. This boy was the opposite of Sasuke in almost every way. He didn't flaunt his knowledge or abilities, and when someone noticed he waved it off as hard work rather than an innate ability.
It was a strange combination of himself and Obito as children...except he doubted Harry Obsessed over Hinata the way Obito did Rin.
"Well. Whatever Tsunade is doing, she's doing it right. Thank you, Harry...it usually takes a while longer than usual because of my eye to regain my Chakra reserves."
"You would have been fine by the time Zabuza would have been up and about, but I don't like taking risks with my comrades." Harry shrugged and stood, "I'm on bridge duty tomorrow since you're good enough to teach your team. I'm going to bed."
Kakashi waved the boy off, "Goodnight."
0000
The next day was a quiet one, not that Harry expected anything else.
Zabuza was capable of moving now, but he would probably have to go through a lengthy exercise regiment to get his muscles back to what he was used to, and from what he read Gato was a lot like Lucius Malfoy. Just without magic. The man was a sleaze lord and backed out of half of the deals he made. So he did not doubt that the guy was probably rounding up every scumbag and mercenary he could find to attack them, even if Zabuza succeeded, and then he would probably find a way to back out of that deal too.
That night they were during dinner Kakashi and Yamato were going over the plan for tomorrow, "I very highly doubt that Zabuza is working alone. At the very minimum that hunter will be with him."
"So we're talking someone more capable of fighting from the shadows than head to head..." Yamato mumbled, "But I doubt that's it. They did imply that someone else may be around...the question is, who?"
"Most of the other seven swordsmen are either dead or can be ruled out," Kakashi said.
"If you're going by that logic the only other swordsmen left that would work with Zabuza is the wielder of the Kiba." Harry spoke up, though he had to blink in surprise as even Sasuke and Sai stared at him in astonishment, "what? Part of my mother's training was to study the bingo book and learn about any ninja I might run into. There are only three swordsmen of the hidden mist left. Zabuza, the wielder of the Kibas Raiga Kurotsuchi, and the wielder of the Samehada, Kisame Hoshigaki, and any intelligence I was able to access says Kisame would never partner up with Zabuza again."
Kakashi cleared his throat and nodded, "Thank you Harry...so we possibly have Raiga too. Anyone else come to mind?"
"Not that I can think of..." Yamato shook his head, "but if he does call on Raiga we're in trouble. There is enough water around all that lightning will cause major problems."
"Don't know why you bother...you'll all just die anyway." Inari, Tsunamis child mumbled picking at his food.
Harry grasped Naruto's shoulder as the boy shot up in indignation.
"Why do you think that?" He asked evenly.
"Because Gato always wins. Not even my dad could beat him."
Harry nodded and sighed, "Tell me, Inari, have you ever heard the story of the Potters?"
Inari frowned and shook his head.
"Not a surprise...it's not a nice story." He paused, "A long time ago in a land far away war had erupted. A war much like the one in the hidden mist village, but it was the opposite. The bloodline wielders were the top of the bucket, if you didn't have one you weren't worth much. Many a war had been fought due to that belief, and one such war happened to be going on, you see, every few years a person of exceptional strength would rise and try to wipe out any non bloodline users, these were called Dark Lords.
A man, James Potter married a woman, Lily Evans. James was a bloodline user, Lily wasn't. That wasn't accepted, but they fought in the war to fight against the dark lord of the time...but that was put on hold for two reasons."
"What reasons?" Inari sounded enraptured.
"Lily had fallen pregnant."
That got an intake of breath by Tsunami.
"The other reason was because of a prophecy being told around a month before she was going to give birth. A prophecy that said this was one of two children with the potential of having the power to beat the dark lord...but unfortunately the dark lord had heard a part of the prophecy and set his sights on negating it by killing the children who fit the criteria of said prophecy."
"I've heard of such things..." Kakashi murmured, "Usually someone who seeks to avoid it makes it come around."
Harry nodded, "precisely. That's exactly what happened. The Potters went into hiding...but were eventually betrayed by one of their most trusted friends. He killed the father, then the mother...but was unable to kill the child due to a trap the mother had been left behind."
Harry sighed and ran his hand through his hair, "sadly the dark lord got away, and in typical evil minds he hid away so nobody would see him weakened. Sadly the Potter child would face a much worse fate."
"Worse than death?" Naruto asked, he was amazed. He had never heard his cousin like this.
"There are many fates worse than death Naruto. The Potter child would be sent to his civilian aunt and uncles by a man many would also call a dark lord. This man was the one the prophecy was spoken, and he interpreted the thing in his way. You see, one line in the prophecy was, 'neither can live while the other survives' and he took it to mean the child would have to die before the dark lord could be beaten. So he ensured that for the next 17 years, he would be forced to live with his abusive aunt and uncle. The child was a slave anytime he wasn't sent to school, and when the dark lord came back...the child was so beaten down he walked to his death just from the man telling him to. That one act would end the war. The boy inspired many to stand up against the tyranny and overthrow the dark lord..." Harry stared at the child now, who looked close to tears, "sometimes kiddo...all it takes to overthrow evil, is a single person standing up and saying enough is enough. Even if they die their ideals will live on and eventually someone else will take up that mantle. Just because it seems hopeless, that doesn't mean you should give up. Even someone as young as you can become a hero." Harry stood, "thank you for dinner Tsunami..." he said as he walked away, leaving them to clear his head.
His last life wasn't a good one...but it had shaped him into what he was. Didn't make remembering it any easier though.
000
Tsunami stared at the child as he left, "Who could've told someone that young such a story..."
"Harry is a bit of a mystery I'm afraid...he is wise beyond his years." Kakashi sighed, "It did have a good message though."
The other Gennin were in varying states of amazement at the story, Sasuke found the boy both very relatable, and pathetic. He would never have allowed himself to become so beaten down that he would kill himself.
Hinata and Hanabi were both crying at the tale.
Naruto was holding back his tears and silently vowed to himself that he would be like the boy...apart from the dying thing.
Inari was the most impacted though...that story in a weird way was so similar to his father that it had to be a coincidence. He closed his eyes and slowly breathed out, maybe that's what his father could be. He had sacrificed himself for them, now they had to honor his sacrifice.
Tsunami caught her son's eyes and had to smile in relief as she saw a spark in them she hadn't seen since her husband died.
000
Haku sighed as she trudged towards the clearing she had claimed for herself, she needed to center herself before tomorrow's battle.
Well...that, and she needed to get away from Gato. The man was an arrogant dick and she felt like if he knew she was a female...then she would have to ensure he couldn't touch her.
Stepping into the clearing she blinked in surprise at a boy around her age meditating in the center, but the strange thing was that the plant life around him seemed to be more vibrant and alive.
She didn't recognize the boy from before, so he must be one of the ones called in for backup the spies had told them about.
"I know you are there." He stood and turned towards her.
"Hello." She smiled.
Harry stared at her, "You too huh..."
Haku frowned, "what?"
"You came to get some quiet before the battle."
That caused her To tense, senbon slowly forming out of ice in her hand that was hidden from his view.
He sighed and shook his head, "Molding your Chakra is a bad way to make me think you're not an enemy sweetheart."
"I'm a boy."
That was a trick she had used many times to catch people off guard.
"No. You aren't. You may wrap your figure and hide it away, but I'm a medical ninja in training. I can tell the difference between males and females just from a look."
Harry frowned and felt a strange buzzing in his fingers, ones he could not identify, "I can tell you aren't one to resort to killing right off rip. You sure you want to use those?"
Haku swallowed heavily as he walked past her, "how do you know I won't kill you now?"
"You have an innocence in your eyes. You've seen plenty of death, but never been the cause of it. Ironic considering who you work for. Do yourself a favor. Abandon the guy, find somewhere to be that you belong."
"I am Zabuza's weapon. I am only meant to give my life for him."
The boy paused at the edge of the clearing and turned to her, a strange look of understanding in his eyes, "nobody should have that power over others. You're a person. Not a weapon for others to use."
Haku swallowed heavily and stared after the boy, something was different about him.
000
The next day both teams came to the bridge in full force, minus Naruto, who had a feeling that Gato would go after Tsunami and Inari, and Sai, who hadn't been around since breakfast. Something the Gennin figured was expected since Kakashi and Yamato hadn't been that surprised. They just said that Sai had a very rough childhood and needed some time to figure out his priorities since he was currently a little more focused on what someone else wanted and not his own.
Tazuna looked around in horror, "no..." The bridge was littered with blood.
The mist around them began to thin even more, "You will pay boy." Zabuza stared at the Senju with hatred.
Kakashi and Yamato looked around and noticed something, "no blood..."
Everyone turned to Harry as everybody on the bridge exploded into smoke, "I figured that Zabuza wouldn't want anyone alive, so I told all of your employees to take the day off and had Naruto send shadow clones disguised as them instead. Would've done it myself...but I can only make a few clones before I risk exhaustion. Naruto can make a thousand without even winding himself."
Even Yamato had to stare in shock at the kid's foresight.
Harry had to widen his eyes in surprise and drop to his knees as a massive blade passed over him where his head had been.
"And now I have to hunt all those builders down and kill them."
Kakashi lifted his headband, revealing his Sharigan, "That's assuming you get out of this Zabuza."
"Ah...the sharigan." He sounded amused, "That little trick won't work on me. Haku found the weakness of it."
The fog around then began to thicken, "removing the visual requirement of a base sharigan...brilliant." Harry mumbled, "If you can't see or make eye contact those eyes are almost worthless..."
He was studiously ignoring Sasuke looking at him with fury.
"Hinata. You guard Tazuna." Yamato said as he noticed the water swirling around them.
"Yes, sensei..." Hinata mumbled, rubbing her eyes. She had tried to use the Byakugan to see through the mist, but because it was so laden with Chakra it just gave her a headache.
"Hinata...maybe the vacuum palm?" Hanabi mumbled, staying close to her sister.
The vacuum palm was one of the more advanced Hyuuga methods...and usually required two people. The Twins had only ever pulled it off once, much to the chagrin of their father, who had been able to do it with his twin brother since he was the girls' age, he had found that twins had a very close match when it came to Chakra and that made it easier to do the jutsus that required multiple people to combine Chakra.
Hinar frowned and thought it over, as she considered it, "Maybe...once we can get Kakashi sensei to see Zabuza. That would give him the sight he needs."
Hanabi's eyes widened, she had never heard her sister make a plan like that before. Being a ninja was breaking the girl out of her shell.
0000
Harry stared at the masked person he knew would be the girl he had met before, "you didn't listen then...." he sighed and shook his head.
She brought her hands up with several senbon made of ice in them, "I told you what I was."
"You told me what you thought you were. You've just given up and accepted that fact. You're even from the Yukki clan. One of the last of your clan too..."
Sasuke appeared from the mist with a kunai, "Move it Senju. He's mine."
"She Sasuke. But alright." He shrugged, "I hope you've awakened your sharigan. Yukki clan members are dangerous."
Sasuke faltered for a second but then he scowled and raised his Kunai again, he wouldn't lose to some random girl.
000
Yamato frowned as water began rising and forming a young male, "Two. You have two."
Zabuzas laughter rang through the mist, "I admit. I had originally considered calling Raiga...but then my spy here had overheard your conversation. No point in playing to your hand..."
"A member of the Hozuki clan too..." Harry mumbled not far away, "Yamato sensei...they can physically change their bodies into water. You won't be able to land physical blows to him."
Naturally, Yamato was aware of this. He had been a part of Root and like Kakashi, had been forced to do many many bad things by Danzo. He was aware of a lot of Kekkai Genkai from the land of water and hydrofication was one he had encountered several times.
But it was a refreshing experience that his student worried about him, "thank you, Harry." He raised a Kunai.
Harry turned back towards the girl he had met yesterday and watched as Sasuke began his fight.
Normally he wouldn't usually just stand by and watch...but Sasuke was an entitled ass that would refuse almost any help given to him unless he was the one to demand it, and if he didn't he would usually get in the way and make sure said help would falter or even miss.
The only exception was with Naruto...who refused to see that fact and Continued to try to help Sasuke.
Harry watched as both clashed together, the girl, Haku, Zabuza called her. With Senbon, and Sasuke with Kunai...which surprised him since Senbon were quite a bit more fragile than Kunai. They weren't exactly meant to be used for head-to-head fights.
"You're speed is quite better than before...but it isn't enough." She raised her hands and began channeling Chakra.
"One hand?!" Kakashi sounded stunned.
"It's not that hard... Auntie Shizune does it all the time....but for her, it's usually using Chakra blades for surgery..." Harry frowned.
Now that he thought about it...he had never seen anyone use single-handed hand seals besides Shizune. Not even his mother...but then again her usage of Chakra outside of surgery was mostly punching things super hard.
Suddenly all of the water surrounding them formed into senbon made of ice, surrounding the two combatants.
Harry stared surprised as Sasuke managed to move out of the way he had figured out how to augment his movements with Chakra.
"Heh...come now Haku. Don't play with him. Do your job boy."
Harry had to blink in surprise, "And you're the guy she's so devoted to. Sad. You can't even tell that Haku is a female."
Zabuza glared at the boy as the temperature began dropping and mirrors made of ice were erected around Sasuke.
Ice release. Crystal ice mirrors.
Harry stared intrigued as Hakus' reflection was projected onto all of the mirrors at once, concealing where she was.
"It's over Kakashi...nobody can beat this jutsu." Zabuza sounded smug, "Say goodbye to the boy."
"How are you an S rank in the bingo book if you can't beat this jutsu?" Harry asked stunned, "this does look like an amazing technique...but it needs heavy modification to make it viable in an actual fight. My mother would only need a single finger to break this jutsu."
Zabuza growled at the boy and dashed over to him, "I'll cut that smart mouth out of you boy." His surprise rose as the boy leaned back so far husband's blade passed right over his head, and then he felt the kick, he stumbled back and just barely managed to stay standing, "cheep shot..." he groaned cupping his crotch.
"Hey. When fighting a superior opponent, use every weakness you can exploit." Harry shrugged as Kakashi appeared and placed a Kunai over his neck.
"You're fight is with me. Not the children." He growled out.
Zabuza scoffed and easily moved Kakashi onto him, "Fine. I got a score to settle with you anyway."
000
Harry turned back towards Sasuke and stared amazed as despite resembling a pincushion right now he was blocking a lot of Hakus senbon.
Looking closer he had to let out a little respect for the guy as his eyes were now blood red. He had awakened his Sharigan.
Suddenly a burst of smoke erupted next to Sasuke and multiple Narutos burst from the cloud, each erupting into an explosion on the mirrors.
"Great clone explosion...you taught him that Harry?" Yamato commented in approval.
"You saw him Sensei. He's a natural with those clones. Don't know what Kushina taught the guy, but now his clone technique is top-notch, might as well give him something to use with it."
Yamato nodded in approval, "It didn't seem to help much...." the smoke cleared revealing the mirrors not even scratched.
"With this much humidity and water surrounding us, she can use her technique without much strain." Harry agreed as Haku began raining needles down upon the two.

Naruto growled in fury as he and Sasuke tried to Dodge the attacks the ninja shot from all sides.
Sasuke let out a fireball that barely melted the mirrors, "it's no use...." Haku shot dozens of needles at once and Naruto stared in horror as Sasuke dropped down, "Your friend is dead now...but do not mourn him. You shall follow soon."
His anger rose to a whole new level and he felt a massive surge of power.

Harry stared shocked as Naruto began to change, his canines elongating, his eyes turning blood red, the whiskers on his cheek becoming more pronounced, and his Chakra flaring into an overwhelming amount filled with anger and Chakra.
"The seal has loosened!" Yamato began to weave his Chakra to stop Naruto when he was suddenly trapped in the Hozuki boy's body.
Harry hissed in pain as he felt the Chakra in his arms reacts to the power.
This is the power of the Kyuubi...
Harry looked around and saw everyone frozen around him, everyone except a man who wasn't there before...a man he recognized.
"Great Grandfather...."
He smiled widely for a second but that turned somber, use your Mokuton to calm the nine tails.
He placed his hand on Harry's and he gasped as he felt power coursing through him.
The world began moving around him and his ancestor faded away.
Weaving his hand signs wooden planks began wrapping around Naruto and he could physically feel the angry Chakra begin to leach into the jutsu.
Yamato stood from the dead body of the Hozuki boy and stared stunned as Harry was calming the nine-tailed chakra, it wasn't a complete hokage jutsu...but then Naruto wasn't completely transforming yet.
As Naruto collapsed Harry turned back to Haku, "You got lucky...that would've killed you."
"I suppose It was always gonna be you and I then..." Haku stepped out of the mirror and released the jutsu.
Harry knelt next to Sasuke and yanked out a few needles from his neck.
"You sure you want to do that? It could kill him."
"Given the amount of Needles in his body, you're right. But I'm not waking him up. I'm just moving him into the beginning stages. His heart won't beat fast enough to cause his wounds to bleed excessively, but it will make it easier to wake him up later."
"You know quite a bit about medical ninjutsu." Haku removed her mask and raised a senbon.
"My mother is Tsunade Senju. Comes with the territory." Harry raised his Senbon.
Zabuza started in surprise at that revelation, even with the clan down to only one...now apparently 2 members, the Senju clan was feared across the land. No wonder he was so easily able to avoid his blade.
Dashing forward he and Haku clashed together, both mirroring each other as they flicked a second senbon into their hands and slammed them together as well, but to Haku's astonishment her senbon shattered and she was forced to jump away as her other one began to crack.
"Using regular weapons won't work I'm afraid," Harry said as he charged forward.
Haku went through a few hand signs and suddenly he was surrounded by ice mirrors.
"You are quite strong Harry. But this is the end."
Ice needles began raining down and Harry slapped his hand onto the ground and a wood dome stretched over him.
"That just won't work on me I'm afraid." His voice drifted up and spikes launched from the dome, shattering every mirror they touched.
Haku left the biggest piece and stared stunned as the wooden dome retracted and mentally groaned, she had never had to go this far with anyone but Zabuza...and the one time she had met Raiga he had learned to not be handsy.
The mist began thickening again and Harry frowned as his opponent vanished into the mist and the temperature dropped.
He had no doubt that was to help slow him down, and would have happened to most everyone back in Konoha....but even though this particular body had never experienced this kind of cold, his mind was from England and had gone to school in Scotland, winters there were far colder than this so he could teach this body to move in this weather.

Snow began to fall and Zabuza raised a non-existent eyebrow in surprise, "Haku is going this far...say goodbye to that brat. Not even I can handle this jutsu."
Kakashi looked around, "Kakashi sensei...this snow has a lot more Chakra than the mist." Hanabi said she and Hinatas Byakugan activated.
Hinata was just happy about it since she could finally see through the mist. She knew Harry couldn't go all out with Naruto and Sasuke right at his feet...maybe she could get them away from the battlefield.
"Hanabi...let's use the reverse vacuum palm."
"Right." Both twins bent their knees and a gust of wind rose.

Harry had to wince as a senbon pierced his ankle but had to blink in surprise as both Naruto and Sasuke were pulled away from him with a gust of wind and two feminine cries.
Looking over he had to hold back a laugh as he saw both Hyuuga twins were pushing the unconscious duo off them.
Everyone blinked in surprise as the sound of cracking knuckles sounded.
Kakashi had to hold in a wince at the sound. He had seen Tsunade do that too....and usually, it was followed by a beat down.
Harry dashed forward and Haku's eyes widened as she barely dodged it and it shattered the guard rail on the bridge.
Throwing his arm out a tentacle of wood stretched out of his arm and she had to create an ice wall to block it.
Weaving several hand signs the water under the bridge rose.
Water-style water dragon bullet!
When the water cleared Haku had to leap back as Harry's body exploded into a shrapnel of wood spikes.
The wood of the bridge seemed to shift and rise, taking the shape of Harry, "I admit...I had thought that would last until we had to help beat Zabuza. You are far stronger than I expected Haku."
"That was a wood clone the whole time?" Zabuza stared astounded.
"Harry is very proud of his heritage..." Yamato sighed, "I may have been a bit too enthusiastic in teaching him how to control his abilities."
Harry charged forward and threw a punch at the stunned Yuuki, landing a punch straight to her face, sending her far back, "You might want to avoid my punches Haku. My mother taught me how to use her super strength. I just don't like having the collateral damage she's fond of."
The girl sat up, blood pouring out of her nose with a frown.
"I am sorry Harry..." Weaving a few hand signs the water began rising again, but this time as it came into contact with the water it began freezing.
Ice style, ice dragon Jutsu
Harry stared stunned as the ice dragon came rushing at him as he dodged.
Landing behind the Yuuki Harry frowned as his body began slowing down, "What the..." Looking down he stared stunned as the ice began building up on his body.
"This is no normal jutsu. Even if you Dodge the jutsu will begin to freeze any water you have all over your body..."
Considering the humidity of the village...Harry was soaked. That was bad.

Zabuza had to let out a little whistle as the boy was completely encased in ice, "Well well...I hadn't expected her to go that far. She's refused to kill up to now.
Kakashi stared stunned as one of the most powerful gennin he had ever seen died.
Suddenly the sound of a crack sounded and everyone stared at the frozen boy.
"That's not possible...not even Mokuton could sprout with this level of cold." Haku stared stunned...something was happening to her jutsu.
