Everyone took their seats once more. The Genin were still shaken by the last memory they saw but were visibly better than before.
Inoichi went back to his spot and concentrated on bringing a memory that was more recent. After a bit of searching, he found a strong memory and with a slight tug, it showed up on the screen in front of the group.
There was a large explosion and you could see a very attractive shinobi standing with her arms out in front of her.
"Are you okay, Zabuza-san?" the female asked.
"Looks like you had to waste one of your techniques, Haku," Zabuza replied, referring to the shattered ice dome surrounding them.
"Snow?" a dark-skinned shinobi with white hair huffed out.
A man with opposing very light skin spoke as well. "A chill?"
The scene went back to Haku. "Hijutsu: Makyou Hyoushou!"
The three shinobi who were riding on an ink bird went flying to the ground after Haku's attack, grunting in pain. Reacting immediately, they all gracefully used the trees to smooth their landing.
"I don't recognize any of these shinobi," Minato stated thoughtfully. "And their headbands all say 'Shinobi' as if they are just affiliated to that statement..."
Kakashi answered. "During the 4th Great Ninja War, all the nations banned together to fight off the threat. That was the headband that all of us adorned."
Minato was shocked but nodded his head in understanding.
More ninja made their way towards the three men but was stopped by none other than Kakashi and his group.
Haku's eyes widened. "Kakashi-san?.."
The Third Hokage turned towards Kakashi. "This Shinobi knows you? And I have also noticed that she has a 'Mist' headband instead of the 'Shinobi' one. Why is that?"
"Those Shinobi are attacking us against their will," Kakashi responded. "Those Shinobi are long since dead, I actually killed Haku with my own hand back on my teams first C-rank mission. Oh, and Haku's a he."
Zabuza looked at Kakashi, "I knew I'd have to fight, but I didn't think it would be against you, Kakashi."
Kakashi looked him straight in the eye. "This is the real world. You were summoned here by the Edo Tensei technique."
"Zabuza, Haku," a pink-haired kunoichi stated. Zabuza looked in her direction.
"That kunoichi of yours has grown quite a bit, Kakashi," he stated in approval. "Hows that other kid doing? He must be all grown up now."
"Yeah," Kakashi agreed. "They named the bridge the Great Naruto Bridge. The two of you helped Naruto find his own Way of the Ninja."
"He will become even stronger," Haku stated proudly.
Suddenly, Zabuza's eyes widened, and a purple aura surrounded him. "Kakashi... Stop us..."
"Fall back," Kakashi stated urgently, causing his team to jump back, away from the reanimated ninja.
"Kakashi-san, please," Haku spoke desperately, "stop us again."
"I died as a human," Zabuza said, Kakashi knew immediately what he meant.
"Yes, I know," Kakashi replied, wasting no time to lift his headband. He opened his Sharingan eye, ready to attack or defend.
Zabuza jumped in the air. "Ninpou: Kirigakure no Jutsu." The air filled with fog. "We will target Kakashi with sound alone."
"Now the air is chilling!" I random ninja exclaimed before being stabbed by senbon. Another ninja was taken out by Zabuza right after him.
"They're coming," Kakashi stated in an almost whisper.
The reanimated group of ninja began fighting all of the ninjas at once, causing an uproar. You could see Gai and what seemed to be his look-alike save an Akimichi."
"Gai-san," the Akimichi said in relief.
Zabuza had finally located Kakashi but jumped away as earth pillars surrounded them.
"All of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen..." Kakashi stated, loud enough for the group of ninja to hear. "Everyone, attack together."
Everyone's attacks rained down together, and the swordsmen below didn't even bother dodging. The damage they took was healed immediately.
"That jutsu is wayyyy overpowered," Obito exclaimed, jumping from his seat. "How are they even supposed to win?"
"It seems they brought their swords," The silver-haired man said, noticing the sealing scroll.
All of the swordsmen grabbed their respective sword and got into position.
"Captain Kakashi," a Nara stated. "I'm ready with my shadow possession on your signal."
"Alright, fasten it to me," Kakashi stated, starting up a Chidori. The Shadow was fastened and a Yaminaka activated his mind transfer.
After some fighting ensued, both Jutsu's were released and Kakashi lunged forward.
'Alright, he hasn't noticed me.' Kakashi thought, ready to impale Zabuza, only to be stopped by Haku.
Kakashi's eyes widened in surprise, while Haku grabbed hold of Kakashi's arm. Zabuza swiftly moved his sword, about to cut Kakashi in half.
All the Genin in the room looked away, prepared for the worse. Minato's fist clenched and he grit his teeth. How could this come to happen?
"Captain Kakashi!" A sealing nin yelled out in urgency and shock.
Blood spewed from Kakashi's torso as he was hit by the sword.
Rin let out a small gasp, Kurenai doing the same. Asuma grunted, imagining how painful the blow must have been. Kushina squeezed Minato's hand, hard.
Kakashi leaped back and watched as the hole in Haku healed. He then looked down at the deep gash in his stomach region.
Letting out a small sigh, he made a few hand signs. Lightning encased his hand and he stood up. "Maki, stay behind me and... Let's put an end to a fight like this," he shouted, racing forwards.
Blood hit the ground around Kakashi and Zabuza's sword went flying. The Nara quickly went into action and activated his Shadow Paralysis Jutsu. Maki, the sealing nin, quickly went into action and sealed the two reanimated ninja.
"It takes a lot to make me angry," Kakashi stated lowly, "but this time my boiling point was low. Copy Ninja Kakashi has copied a thousand jutsu... And I'm going to use them to their fullest extent!"
The scene before them faded, and they all gaped in awe. Kakashi had turned out to be awesome, to say the least.
"Wait," Obito stated, breaking the silence. "What about that Sasuke dude... we didn't get to see what happened to him!"
Ebisu pushed up his glasses and nodded in agreement. "That stuck up Uchiha must've done something!"
Kakashi sighed, letting the memory come back to him, ignoring the memory of the death that relayed to him as well. "Sasuke defected from the village and joined Orochimaru, an S-class missing ninja. Orochimaru promised Sasuke power to defeat Itachi, and in return... Orochimaru got Sasuke's body."
Fugaku cringed. "Didn't know the snake swung that way."
Kakashi gaped at the man, realizing that he took his words the wrong way. "I mean that Orochimaru was... is obsessed with the thought of immortality, and to do that he has to take over other bodies. Sasuke was one of the last three Uchiha left, and given that Orochimaru didn't know about Obito and couldn't defeat Itachi, Sasuke became the target."
Fugaku let out a sigh. All of the misfortune that had, or more like what is to come, become of the clan his due to his audacious goals of starting a Coup. What he is seeing now, must never happen in the future.
{July 6, 2019}
We are only going to have them watch one more memory before we get to some of the good stuff. Or ending it. Who knows. The memory will be of my making and not canon. Fair warning.
Will be edited tomorrow.
