14 The Land Of Wave 5.0

In The Bridge..

One side of it Kakashi fighting against Zabuza , with the help of his Sharingan.

On the other side Sasuke fighting the mask man, who took Zabuza with him when Kakashi almost killed Zabuza and protected him.

Sakura standing in front of Tazuna with seals in hand and using a Barrier seal to protect Tazuna from the wrath of Zabuza.

During his confrontation with Sasuke, Haku politely expressed his lack of desire to harm his opponent, stating, "I prefer not to end your life, so would you kindly step aside?"

Sasuke responded with a smile, dismissing Haku's concern by claiming superiority, to which Haku used a single hand seal to reveal his hidden advantage, "The water on the ground." As the water transformed into needles and rushed towards Sasuke, he quickly demonstrated his skill by evading the attack through the use of his chakra.

Haku was taken aback when he saw Sasuke suddenly disappear and then shurikens were thrown her way.

She performed a backflip to dodge the shurikens but then Sasuke appeared behind her and remarked, "You're pretty slow," before slashing his kunai at her head.

Haku managed to duck and avoid the attack, but then Sasuke kicked her, sending her flying to the side of Zabuza.

Zabuza appeared surprised and sweating, as he questioned Haku's inability to keep up in speed. Haku acknowledged the problem and emitted cool chakra from all over his body, causing Sasuke to feel a chill.

Subsequently, Haku used the Crystal Ice Mirrors technique to surrounds Sasuke.

Haku proceeded through the generated mirror, transmitting his reflection to the other mirrors.

Kakashi rushed to aid Sasuke, but was obstructed by Zabuza. "My target is you. He is defeated against that technique,"

Innumerable needles were launched towards Sasuke in an attempt to harm him.

Sasuke cried out in pain as he attempted to evade the needles but was unable to evade all of them.

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura cried out in concern, attempting to come to Sasuke's aid but he had to protect Tazuna as well.

Though Sasuke was able to read the direction of the needles thrown at him with the help of his Sharingan but he couldn't keep up with the speed and was unable to dodge all of them.

He dodged many but some of them hitting him making him bleed...

Sasuke used fire style Jutsu in the ice mirrors in trying to melt them but doesn't matter how much he tried he couldn't break through the mirror.

On the other hand Kakashi was having a little hard time facing Zabuza as it felt like Zabuza almost understood most of Kakashi's trickery.

"You can't hide forever, Zabuza," Kakashi's voice cut through the silence, composed yet threatening, as the Sharingan whirled into life. "The Sharingan can see through your illusions."

From the mist came Zabuza's low, menacing laugh. "Kakashi, the Copy Ninja... Let's see if your eyes can keep up with me," he taunted, knowing full well the prowess of his adversary's ability to foresee and mimic movements.

A silent lunge, metal clashing, Kakashi deftly blocked a near-invisible strike, his Sharingan tracing Zabuza's every move in the thick fog. "You're skilled, Zabuza, but predictable," Kakashi retorted, sending a succession of shuriken through the mist, each aimed with precision.

Zabuza's form flickered, a mirage dissipating as he dodged, "You think so? Let's up the stakes," he declared, executing a string of hand signs, bolstering the fog until it was a blinding, dense wall. "Hidden Mist Jutsu!"

The world shrank to a bubble of impenetrable grey, Zabuza's presence now entirely cloaked by the technique. Even the Sharingan struggled against such overwhelming deception.

Kakashi's voice pierced the silence, calm yet assertive, addressing Sakura as she was protecting Tazuna "Stay alert. He could be anywhere."

Moments passed, each second a stretched thread of tension. Then a swift exchange, a dance of blades and feints—Zabuza exploiting the mist, Kakashi predicting and parrying, barely managing to keep Zabuza at bay.

"I can't see him even with my Sharingan, the mist is too thick." Kakashi thought.

"What ? Don't tell me you're already finished, here I was thinking it to be a good fight. But Copying others move can take you too far. " Zabuza said to Kakashi in a taunting voice.

"You think I came this far just by copying some jutsus with my Sharingan ? Than let me show you some original moves Zabuza but this will be the last for you." Kakashi said.

On the other side Sasuke was still trapped inside the Ice mirrors technique of The masked man.

Sasuke concentrated to devise a strategy to battle ."The needles are directed at a low-damage area. Should I utilize chidori? No.. That jutsu has a more concentrated effect. I need to find another jutsu."

"It seems you're not prepared to surrender," Haku remarked from inside the mirror, preparing his needles for another attack.

Disregarding the minor damage, Sasuke recognized that it was targeted at areas with low damage and began to weave handseals again [Fire Style: Great Fireball!] "Fuuuu!" Sending scorching flames toward the mirrors.

The flames dissipated slowly, but had no effect on the mirrors "Tsk!"

"I would prefer not to kill you, and I don't want you to kill me. However, if you come at me, I am willing to compromise my kind heart and become a true shinobi." Haku declared.

Kakashi and Zabuza fight....

Zabuza, confident in his stealth, didn't realize the trap until it was too late. Kakashi's hands blurred, forming seals, "Summoning Jutsu!" A puff of smoke erupted on the bridge, and from within it emerged Kakashi's ninken, the ninja hounds.

"The Sharingan can't see you in this thick mist but I don't need to see you I've more than enough senses to do that." Kakashi said.

Kakashi ordered the Ninja Hounds to find Zabuza with their smelling sense.

The hounds, with senses as sharp as blades, darted through the mist. Yelps of surprise and grunts of pain echoed as they found their quarry, swiftly pinning Zabuza down. Kakashi emerged from the mist, the Sharingan no longer flaring with anticipation but burning with triumph.

"It's over, Zabuza," Kakashi proclaimed, his figure materializing like a specter out of the mist, his kunai aimed, the ninken growling in a circle around the captured Demon of the Hidden Mist.

Zabuza, momentarily bested, glared up at Kakashi, defiant but trapped.

"Let me show you something that's not copy ...." Kakashi said and created the Chidori in his hand "but I warn you this would be your last." Kakashi said as he ran towards Zabuza with the Chidori in hand.

Haku Realizing that Zabuza was going to get killed got out of the ice mirror where he trapped Sasuke and came in between the attack of Kakashi.

Kakashi was started by the sudden appearance of Haku in front of him and couldn't stop his attack as the Chidori hits Haku .

Haku fall down at Kakashi's arm, but it didn't stop Zabuza to continue his attack.

But before he could attack though he was stopped , Zabuza looked Infront of him and saw a boy with yellow hairs and blindfolded eyes standing in front of him.

"You..... Brat..." Zabuza screamed at the boy.

"Naruto Uzumaki is here, sorry I'm a little too late." Naruto said looking at Kakashi who was still holding Haku in his hand.

Naruto looked at Sakura who was still standing with Tazuna protecting him , Naruto gave her a slight smile of reassurance as she was a little afraid.

Naruto looked at the other direction of the bridge, where he saw Sasuke sitting in a little distance , he was bleeding a little and was staring at their direction.

Naruto after reassessing the situation looked back at Zabuza , "I see you all are fighting for too long... Man I missed so much action." Naruto said with a depressed look.

"You.... Brat.... Just don't come in between or I would kill... " Before Zabuza could finish though.....

"Adamantine Sealing Chains" Naruto said as chains came out of his back grabbing Zabuza and pinning him down to the ground.

The chains grabbed Zabuza and started taking away all of his chakra out of him .

"You brat what are you..." Zabuza tried to speak but was feeling drained and was having hard time to even breat.

"Am I dying..." Zabuza thought as the Chains drained all of his chakra out of him and only leaving the dead body of the person. "Haku... I'm sorry....." Zabuza thought before taking his last breath.

Naruto took his chains back and the chains went back from where it came from. The chains took all the chakra from Zabuza's body.

"It's done...." Naruto said looking at Kakashi .

Kakashi finally stood up after putting Haku in the ground , "You did good Naruto , you even learned that technique... Well done." Kakashi commented.

Sakura, Sasuke , Tazuna came the place Kakashi and Naruto were standing.

"Are you okay , Sasuke-kun." Sakura commented in worried look towards Sasuke.

Sasuke only nodded & looked back at both the bodies of Zabuza and Haku.

"This is what being Shinobi means, seeing death and blood shed everyday is a part of the life of a ninja , a shinobi." Kakashi commented to his students.

The conversation between Team 7 and Tazuna was stopped by a voice , A man walking from the other end of the bridge with uncountable number of people following him.

The man Infront with shaggy brown hair and sports a pair of small, circular black glasses. He was wearing a black suit with a purple tie, a yellow shirt underneath his coat and closed-toed shoes.

"So these , stupid ninjas were of no use , they managed to get killed against some weaklings." The man spoke with a expressionless face as if he didn't even care about the deaths of those two.

"Anyway, It's good that they died, I don't need pay them now." The man started laughing as he spoke.

"You're .... " Naruto spoke "Gatou !!!" Kakashi finished Naruto's line.

"Yeah , You guessed it right. I'm the Gatou, who rules this village with power and no one can stop me." Gatou spoke "now can you kids and young man go back to your place cause anyone trying to stop me will die today." Gatou spoke with a smirk.

"A businessman turned thug. You're the type who gives actual bad guys a bad name, you know? I've seen scarier faces at the ramen shop. Time to wrap this up. I've got a date with a bowl of miso chashu after this." Naruto spoke .

"You think , you kids stand a chance ? You're way outnumbered, look at my back , this is no playground, kid." Gatou replied Naruto.

"Outnumbered ?" Naruto said as his face showed a smirk beneath the blindfold.

"Multi Shadow-clone Jutsu." Naruto said creating 30 Shadow clones which made everyone shock including Gatou.

Each of the clones shouted "Rasengan" and went to attack the mercenaries of Gatou.

In matter of seconds where so many people standing behind Gatou, now he was standing alone as Naruto clean sweep through all of them .

With puff of smoke all the clones disappearing leaving only the real Naruto.

Naruto who was standing at the edge of the bridge as he dropped the last of the mercenaries in the water under the bridge ,body flickered in front of Gatou.

"Outnumbered ? You said , If anyone who is outnumbered here, that'll be you." Naruto said with a smile.

At this point Gatou started trembling in fear ,"Tell me what you want , I can give you a lot of money , I've a lot money take them all, but don't kill me." Gatou cried for his life.

"People like you deserves to die, you're not even human for me, you're worse than animal." Naruto spoke as he formed a Rasengan in his hand and attacking Gatou and throwing him in the water.

Naruto walked to His team "Now it's finished." Naruto said.

"You killed everyone, you're really awesome Naruto." Sakura said but in mind "No still I like Sasuke , Sasuke is more awesome and cool." Sakura thought.

Once again they were interrupted by noise of a lot of people coming.

"We are here to offer our assistance, Nichan!" Inari exclaimed loudly as he approached, carrying a crossbow.

As the village people followed the young boy and Tsunami standing right beside.

"We are also available to provide assistance, young man," added one of the villagers in a calm and composed manner.

Witnessing this scene, Tazuna grinned, recognizing Inari's newfound courage.

But Their conversation was abruptly halted when they caught sight of the empty bridge with only two bodies lying,besides standing Team 7 and Tazuna.

"Hey, Inari! Unfortunately, I have already taken care of them all," Naruto stated with a smile.

"You taken down all of them ?" Tsunami asked with a shocking reaction.

"Yeah, He didn't even need our assistance." Kakashi said.

"Well, You did most of the job , I just came late and stole the show, you know main character always comes late." Naruto said with a grin and patting his shoulder.

After that The bridge building work continued for more than a week and Team 7 stayed there to assist if necessary.

One week later, the construction of the bridge is complete, Tazuna-san. It is now time for us to depart," declared Kakashi, who was accompanied by his team .

Tazuna acquiesced, and Kakashi and his companions began their journey. Tazuna and the citizens of the country bid farewell to Naruto and his team for all that they had done for them.

"Thank you, Naruto-niichan, for helping me find my courage again!" exclaimed Inari, tears streaming down his face. "Thank you for everything!"

They bowed with a grand gesture as they saw Naruto off. From a distance, Naruto heard their words and chuckled, signaling to Inari "No problem!"

Tazuna, who was observing the scene, suggested, "Should we name the bridge 'The Great Naruto Bridge'?"

They lightly laugh at the proposal and everyone nodded in agreement "The Great Naruto Bridge ... That's a good name ... "
