Zabuza returns

I walked into the room Naruto was in to see him passed out. he worked himself too hard so he was being left here today while the rest of us went to the bridge. I took the towel off his forehead and replaced it with a cooler one. I made sure he was comfortable before walking with my team to the bridge.

I sat on the side of the bridge with Kakashi. we sat opposite of where Sasuke and Sakura were sitting. The other workers left leaving Tazuna to do it alone. I jumped down and began helping him. He looked at me but I gave him a stern look saying nothing he said would change my mind.

Suddenly mist spread across the bridge. My eyes narrowed and I stood in front of Tazuna with a kunai in my hand. Zabuza was back.

"Sensei!" Sakura yelled.

Sasuke and Sakura ran up to me and Kakashi stood in front of us looking around with his sharigan. My eyes widened and both Sasuke and I spun around stabbing Zabuza and it melted into water.

"they sure have improved. of course, there was only a small portion of your strength in that clone but they could keep up with it." A masked boy said.

"well we never got to see the girls strength, I'm curious," Zabuza said.

Another clone was created that was a lot stronger than his last one. I was separated from the others and faced off with his clone. I gritted my teeth as he disappeared. I stayed calm and slowed my breathing. I closed my eyes and stayed completely still.I made my breathing as quiet as possible and hid my chakra to the best of my ability. the louder I was and the more obvious my chakra was the easier it would be to kill me. stealth was my speciality and he couldn't see either. I heard laughter and my jaw cleaned in slight fear but I kept my body calm.

"You have quite a student here Kakashi. she's practically disappeared but I can still find her. but I must say I'm impressed. it's a shame such a talented child will be killed so young." Zubuza' voice echoed.

I focused and pinpointed his voice. if he knew where I was I had to strike first. I was about to attack but stopped when a blast of chakra pushed the mist away. I looked to Kakashi but I had to stop and block Zabuza's attack.

"You still have these brats with you." Zabuza said.

Sasuke destroyed multiple water clone making me smile.

"You shouldn't call these kids brats they'll take it personally. Sakura is the brightest kunoichi there is. Sasuke is the best genin that came from the academy Naruto is the number on knucklehead of the leaf and Shizuko can sneak up on anyone. Don't underestimate these kids." Kakashi said.

I looked at him like he was an idiot making him smile at me. I rolled my eyes and jumped up dodging an attack from this annoying water clone. My eyes narrowed when I saw Sasuke fighting the masked boy. he needs help. I have to finish this now. The clone ran at me and I jumped up placing my hand on his sword I pushed myself up and kicked his face. he went flying to the side. He got up but before he could attack I cut him down with a kunai making him melt to water.

I ran into the ice mirrors and threw my own sebon at the sebon about to hit Sasuke. The mask by looked at me while I ran beside Sasuke.

"I guess your sensei was right when he said you could sneak up on anyone." The boy said.

I looked at Sasuke and he nodded. we had an understanding. one of us had to get back out and attack simultaneously from outside and inside. I was the one that was trying to get out because it was easier for me to sneak around. Sasuke and I ran in opposite direction and the boy focused his attack on me. I dodged a few but still got cut multiple times. this wasn't going to work he was going to be keeping a close eye on me.

I looked at Sasuke from the corner of my eye. he gave a small nod. we did the same thing but this time I was the distraction. sebon were thrown at me and I didn't have time to dodge. I shut my eyes in pain.

~~~~Third person pov~~~~

Sasuke was about to escape but he faltered when he heard the sebon make contact with Shizuko. that small falter gave Haku enough time to stop Sasuke from escaping. Shizuko threw sebon deflecting the ones that were about to hit Sasuke.she stood up and the two stood together trying to figure out another plan. Haku came out of the mirror but he was grazed by a kunai.

the two looked to see Naruto as he announced his presence. Shizuko stared at him. her being the person who prided herself on her stealth wanted to punch Naruto for ruining the perfect opportunity to sneak up on the enemy.
