16 Zabuza Momochi, The Demon of The Hidden Mist.

Right now we are on a boat, heading towards the wave country.

The dense fog around us is strange, it gives a atmosphere that some chakra monster can come out of the water to attack us.

Naruto is still angry about what happened, sitting in the corner of the quiet boat, at least until the first piece of the bridge appears.

"Wow, this is huge." Naruto screamed and then was scolded by the navigator. We chose this moment to avoid being seen and Naruto almost exposed us.

After another time browsing Kakashi-Sensei started talking to Tazuna, mainly asking about why he hid the information and who is behind him.

Tazuna then told what is happening and started to act all poor thing that if something happens to him the blame will fall on us.

This made me uncomfortable. I even thought of helping but just because of that I would really finish the mission as soon as I left him on the ground.

It is not that I am being heartless, we are also risking our lives in this and the payment to be in this is not enough. We are risking our lives when we could be getting the same amount with far less danger.

The world doesn't just revolve around you, Tazuna. Even if the situation in your country is difficult, blaming ninjas for wanting to refuse the mission that has no gain and is dangerous, is the worst attitude a person can have.

Unfortunately Naruto and Kakashi ended up accepting this mission just like in the original, I could only sigh. I swear I will make this mission worthwhile.

It didn't take long before we finally passed under a bridge and finally arrived in the country of the waves.

This place has a completely different atmosphere from Konoha, the water full of trees and the houses being different from Konoha, give a light and differentiated atmosphere from other places.

I took a deep breath. At least the nature in this country is good.

As soon as we got off the boat, Tazuna thanks the boatman for taking a risk. At least Tazuna still has some conscience.

As soon as we entered the forest Naruto went into Idiot mode. Seriously, he threw Kunai at nothing just to show off. He even almost hit a snow rabbit.

Poor rabbit.

And yes, snow bunny. A special type of rabbit that has a white color when it is winter and when there is not much sun. This was taken from Sakura's memories.

Anyway, that means that Zabuza is already here. I stayed close to Tazuna just in case.

It didn't take long for Kakashi-Sensei to shout 'Watch out'. A sharp, heavy sound sounded in the air, I quickly jumped to the ground bringing Tazuna along so he wouldn't be cut.

What was thrown was soon stopped by a tree and turned out to be a giant sword. Less than 1 second later, a big man with a mask made of bandage and a ninja bandana from the mist village appeared.

This is ... Zabuza Momochi, the demon of the hidden mist.

Naruto ran to face Zabuza before being stopped by Kakashi-Sensei.

"He's not someone at your Naruto level." A simple and short answer, but one that fully expressed the situation for Naruto. Zabuza is an elite Jounin.

"To face him, I will have to use this." Kakashi-Sensei said before starting to remove the bandana that covered his eye. I really wanted to be excited at the moment, but I can't. Zabuza's presence is intimidating and I can only keep an eye on him.

And even the burning inside me was not enough to remove my concern.

Naruto asked what the sharingan is and Sasuke started to explain this time. This is Kekkei Genkai from his clan, I think there is no one better to speak than him.

But everything they said was the basic, even Sasuke doesn't know about the existence of the Mangekyo Sharingan. I think that even Kakashi-Sensei is unaware of this or maybe he has already used it but never knew what it is.

And incredibly, the only one here besides me who seems to know these Sharingan abilities is Zabuza. Somehow I feel that he knows about the existence of the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Fog began to appear around the place, blocking our view. Mist's jutsu is extremely useful against Sharingan users.

"Enough talk, I need to eliminate the old man now." As soon as he said that I, Sasuke and Naruto entered into battle formation Manji, which basically covered Tazuna's blind spots.

Zabuza then went to the water and used the jutsu: hide in the fog. An even more dense fog covered the place to the point that even Kakashi-Sensei disappeared from our sight.

Not long after, Kakashi-Sensei started releasing an astronomical amount of chakra strong enough to remove the mist around us.

The problem with this is that Kakashi-Sensei's chakra was so large and oppressive that it stopped me from breathing.

And it wasn't just the Kakashi-Sensei chakra, from somewhere I felt another gigantic chakra being released in response. The fury of two Jounins facing each other is stifling.

The burning inside me was so easily extinguished, the fear was triggered by these two beings. Before coming to this mission I wondered how strong Zabuza was, even wondering if it is possible to face him, but now ... I am sure that I will die in mere seconds if I face him with the strength that I am now.

Naruto looks fine, not only does he have a greater amount of chakra than Kakashi-Sensei, he also has Kurama. As for Sasuke, who is next to me, he is in an even worse state than I am, I can see him tremble and even consider killing himself.

Because of the chakra suppressing me, I was unable to stop it. Fortunately Kakashi-Sensei came to the rescue and asked Sasuke to calm down.

What he said somehow calmed me down, I managed to get rid of the pressure on me. I hastily grabbed a Kunai and prepared myself for any combat.

"Finished." Before I can think of anything else a voice sounded behind me, Zabuza was in the middle of the formation, I wanted to move to attack Zabuza but something stopped me, froze me on the floor. Naruto and Sasuke are in the same way.

I smelled death, the same smell I smelled when I was about to be run over by the truck.

But then Kakashi-Sensei appeared with a Kunai in the heart of Zabuza and that undid any restrictions on me, allowing me to get away from Zabuza.

Unfortunately nothing is so simple, Zabuza was a water clone and as in Anime the real one appeared behind Kakashi-Sensei and cut him off, luckily Kakashi-Sensei was also a water clone.

Even before Naruto started celebrating, Zabuza transformed himself into water and a new one appeared behind Kakashi-Sensei ready to cut him off again.

Kakashi-Sensei deflected but Zabuza is not simple and threw Kakashi-Sensei away with just one kick, making him fall into the water.

Me, Naruto and Sasuke were paralyzed. I tried to warn Kakashi-Sensei, but nothing seemed to come out of me, we are completely frozen now.

I felt that all the preparations I have made so far are useless. Zabuza is very strong, much stronger and scarier than Anime demonstrates.

Zabuza jumped into the water and floated on it before making a new jutsu, the water prison jutsu.

Like Anime Kakashi-Sensei was arrested by Zabuza. Zabuza in question used the water clone jutsu, just like the original.

All this time to train and I'm still weak. I don't want to lose, I don't want to be useless.
