A Fight in the Mist! …The Legend?
I stood as still as a pray that had unwittingly caught eyes with its predator,
watching as my fellow teammates and client stood just out of the corner of my vision,
Tazuna’s shaking hands would have been invisible, if I hadn’t been well-versed in the side effects of the fear of death,
and as a client, someone that hadn’t been a shinobi, Tazuna was more prone to freezing in battle,
my teammates on the other hand…
‘how will they handle this fight?, the thought popped into my head without warning, ‘but with everything changing I can’t rely on anything staying the same… but with that said.. I’ll try to take the blunt force of this fight if I can,
“-He’s over there?!,” Naruto shouted out putting his kunai into a defensive form, his head whipping around to keep the enemy in sight,
Sakura's eyes widened, hands coming up to point
“Guys! he’s in the water!” Her shrill voice rang out across the almost silent forest,
The tress tussled with each other and shook as the wind picked up,
Zabuza’s dark eyes narrowed a storm brewing in them as the waves crashed around him,
Zabuza slowly built up his chakra,
”Ninja Art!, Hidden mist Jutsu!”
Leaves fell to the ground as the mist around us thickened clouding our sight,
Sakura stared at the water as her voice shook
”h..he just vanished..”
Kakashi-sensei's eyes trailed across the opening, his body now blocking the river from view,
“…He’ll be coming after me first, after all, he is the Master of the Silent Killing Technique ”
“W-what? Does that mean…?” Naruto questioned a small frown playing on his face,
”.. as the name suggests... it’s over in an instant, it’s so fast you pass from this life without even realizing it’s over, The Sharingan can’t even fully Cancel it…., Don’t, Not even for a second Lower your Guard.” Kakashi ordered, and with a flip of his wrist he held a Kunai in hand the Sharp Polished Blade Gleaming in the light,
With that said Sakura’s stance became firmer shoulders hiking up as her body solidified,
‘A defensive position, harder to knock down… and hard to cut through.,
Naruto copied her, keeping his body still he held his own weapon up,
‘Good, Naruto’s stance may be more open than the Sakura's but both of them should be able to cover each other’s blind spots,
I pulled out a Shrunken, before backing up to stand right in front of Tazuna,
‘If it comes to my own life of there's… it’s an easy choice,...I am not needed as much in the end.., but I need to save Nii-San, even if it kills me-
“Eight points…. Spine.. lungs… kidneys… Throat…, No, which will be my kill point,”
Kakashi’s hands came up into a hand sign invisible to the naked eye, Chakra swirled around him,
the killing intent grew stronger as Sensei’s joined into the mix,
Sakura became stiff beside me,
My body froze up as the wave of killing intent hit me,
‘A flash of two Jonin… like a knife cutting through bone..,
Sakura choked up, a wheeze leaving her throat,
Naruto’s “what?” Hanging in the background of my mind,
My breath picked up barely picking up on my hands moving to their own accord,
“Team!” Kakashi’s commanding voice echoed in the suffocating silence, “I will not let anything happen to you I will not allow my comrades to die.”
Kakashi-Senseis's head turned gaze settings on us,
”..Trust me.”
I snapped back into myself, roughly pulling the kunai away from my throat,
“Now… I wouldn’t be so sure..”
‘oh fuck-
I jerked my head to the side,
And as I thought, Zabuza stood perfectly still behind us Sword pointed at Naruto,
the air became denser as a low chuckle could be heard across the clearing,
“It’s over”
The Execution blade came down,
The tip grazed Naruto’s neck as We jumped out of the way,
Sakura pulled Tazuna along with her,
Kakashi practically flew forward, what should have been blades hitting in an ear-ringing crack,
But no sound of metal on metal clashing ran across the battlefield,
I stumbled to a stop next to Naruto, my hand holding onto the Kunai tightened,
instead-
‘Squelch!’ water fell to the ground before soaking into the soil,
with a jerk of his Arm Sensei pulled his weapon out,
”Sensei! behind you!” Naruto yelled,
“Die!”
A flash and once again water splashed onto the ground,
“….it can’t be..” Zabuza whispered, “he copied my attack…”
leaves fell to the ground landing in the still water,
With just a flash Kakashi-Sensei was standing behind Zabuza,
a Sharp kunai resting against the rogue ninja's throat, close enough to draw blood,
