Yokai Mates

demon of the mist

"You know that I can't do that.  It's our job to see to our client's safety." replied Kakashi as he pulled up his leaf headband to reveal a eye that was very similar to Sasuke's own.

"Then I guess that you all must die in order to complete my goal." stated Zabuza as he made a single hand sign causing the mist to roll in.

"Team Seven......  Manji formation.  Keep your senses alert.  Zabuza is know as the demon of the mist as he is skilled in the silent kill technique." stated Kakashi.  Naruto and Sasuke flared out their demonic powers keeping all of their senses alert.  Both demons could sense Zabuza's killer intent right behind them.  Both moved quickly getting both Tazuna and Sakura out of harms way as Kakashi meet Zabuza's blade with his kunai.  The three genin scurried out of the way as the two jonin fought.  Kakashi stabbed Zabuza only to find out that it was a water clone.  When Zabuza tried to cut down Kakashi, he found out that it too was a water clone.

"So you managed to copy my jutsu despite the fog.  Your team is quite skilled as I never had someone be able to dodge my silent kill attack." stated Zabuza as he turned quickly killing Kakashi in the gut which sent him flying over and into a nearby pond.  When Kakashi surfaced he thought it was odd that the water seemed thick.  "Water Prison Justu!" snapped out Zabuza as he caught Kakashi in a water orb and held him hostage.  "Now let's take care of your genin!"

"Guys get out of here and take Tazuna with you!" Kakashi shouted out as Zabuza created a water clone to deal with the three genin.

"Oh.....  Don't worry Hatake.  They shall join you soon!" stated Zabuza with an evil grin stretched across his face that could be seen underneath his bandages.

Sasuke could sense that his brother was close by.  Both demons could free Kakashi buying enough time for Itachi to help them out.  

*We have to break the jutsu that Kakashi-sensei is trapped in.* Sasuke told Naruto mentally as the two instantly came up with a plan.  Nodding his head Naruto created several shadow clones to help protect both Tazuna and Sakura.  Naruto then dropped down to his hands nodding at Sasuke.  Seeing the two male team members not backing down, caused Zabuza to raise his brow in question.  

'What are they up to?' Zabuza asked in question.  Zabuza didn't notice the whisker marks on Naruto's cheeks becoming much boarder as his fangs and claws clearly also grew longer.

"Let's go Naruto!" stated Sasuke as he leapt into the air armed with ten shurikens.  "Demon Wind Shuriken!" stated Sasuke as he threw the shuriken that was laced with his demonic power.  Naruto bolted running on all fours towards Zabuza and Kakashi.

"You won't beat me with cheep tricks!" snarled Zabuza.

"Unfortunately for you.....  This is no cheep trick." replied Sasuke as he held up a single finger.  The ten shuriken instantly became one hundred.

Zabuza's eyes widened as he couldn't tell if they were all real or not.  As Zabuza shielded himself with his sword, the shurikens began to buzz as they all whizzed past him.  Zabuza's water clone was destroyed instantly because of Sasuke's jutsu.  Zabuza didn't notice Naruto until he was up close to his face as dark fire lined his hands.

"Kitsune Hellfire Claw!" growled Naruto as he went to strike at Zabuza.  Zabuza had to let go of the water prison jutsu to avoid Naruto's attack.  Naruto's fire-laced claws managed to graze Zabuza's arm causing the rogue ninja to scream out in pain.  Zabuza turned to attack both Kakashi and Naruto, but his blade was stopped by Itachi's sword.  Seeing the Tengu demon who possessed the same eyes as Kakashi forced Zabuza to retreat.  He knew that even with his backup hiding out of sight, they wouldn't be able to fight off two jonin level ninja especially one being a true demon.

Both Kakashi and Naruto swam for the shore as Zabuza retreated holding the arm that Naruto injured.

"Is everyone all right?" asked Itachi as he flew over to where Sakura, Sasuke, and the client were at.  Naruto's clones disappeared in a puff of smoke.  Itachi landed next to the group as Kakashi climbed out of the water placing his headband back over his Sharingan eye.  Naruto climbed out next as he shook the water off of him much like a dog would.

"We are fine Itachi.  Thank you for coming so swiftly.  Naruto.....  Sasuke......  Excellent job you two.  But I have a feeling that we have not seen the last of Zabuza Momochi." stated Kakashi.

"Then let's continue on as once we arrive in the wave village.  Once there we can go over some plans on how to deal with Zabuza if and when he returns." added Itachi as he proceeded to perform a jutsu to make himself look human.  Team seven continued on with hardly any more problems as they arrived at Tazuna's home meeting his daughter Tsunami and his grandson Inari.  The team introduced themselves as the three demons let down the jutsu returning back to normal before the group went over the game plan on how to deal with Zabuza and Gato.
