Iloveallanime16: Thanks Hinata-chan! But she's right,Im getting my ass kicked due to paying for college and also trying to finish off my senior year XP. But I will continue to write! In the words of Naruto: BELIEVE IT!

*Crickets chirping*

Iloveallanime16:...Let's get that disclaimer rolling…. Tenten, if you please…

Tenten: Iloveallanime16 does not own Naruto, nor any other products mentioned. She is also a lazy bum

Iloveallanime16: Oi! Shut up!

Team 7 and their client walked down the path, silence in the air, tension riding. Hinata was in the back, Sasuke and Naruto behind Kakashi, who was keeping lookout in the front. Tazuna was in the middle of the group, looking nervous and sweating. Hinata placed her hand on his arm and he flinched and looked down at her. She smiled at him and he felt calm and smiled back.

"Don't worry Tazuna-san, we are going to protect you, we are all capable ninja's," Tazuna felt relaxed at her smile and smiled back. Suddenly, Naruto heard a rustle and snapped his head up.

"SOMETHING'S THERE!" He shouted and threw a kunai at the bushes. All the ninja tensed and gotten into battle stances. Hinata activated her Byakugan and peered into the bush and gasped as she saw….a small frightened white rabbit.

"Oh no! Poor Bunny!" She ran over and picked up the bunny and petted it, while cooing softly at it. Sasuke twitched and hit Naruto upside the head and he yelled in pain.

"Ow! Damnit Teme!" Tazuna was recovering from his mini heart attack and Kakashi sighed, then narrowed his eyes.

Wait a minute...That's a snow rabbit and it's the middle of summer….the hell?

Kakashi felt killing intent coming and acted qucikly.

"Everyone, get down!" He yelled as he pushed everyone behind him and they all scattered to the ground just as a long sword came out of nowhere and almost cleaved their heads off. Suddenly, a mist slowly started to appear and Naruto, Hinata, who had released the bunny, and Sasuke all gathered around Tazuna around a tree with Kakashi in front of them. Kakashi narrowed his eyes as the mist formed and cursed under his breath.

Damnit! It was a trap! A decoy!

"Hehehe, nice reaction there," A voice snickered out in the mist, killing intent and malice disguised into it. Kakashi looked to the voice and narrowed his eyes as he looked at the person.

"Zabuza Momochi…." A man appeared and wore a bandaged mask around his mouth, covering most of his face. He wore no shirt, but wore long cargo pants and held a large sword across his back. He released more killing intent and Sasuke, Hinata and Naruto shook as they all stepped back.

W-what is this? I-I can't move! Hinata thought with nervous look in her eye.

Damnit! This isn't some normal ninja! Sasuke narrowed his eyes, ignoring his shaking hands.

Who the hell is this guy?! Naruto stepped back and almost tripped due to the killing intent. Zabuza smirked down at them. Just then, he disappeared and Kakashi's eyes widened.

Crap!

Zabuza suddenly appeared between the group of kids and the bridge builder, his large sword in position. They all froze in fear and Zabuza snickered.

"Fresh gennin, don't know what it's like to step up to the real ninja," He prepared to slice through when Kakashi was able to attack him and sent a roundhouse kick towards him, pushing the Team and Tazuna out of the way. Zabuza blocked his kick and disappeared back into the mist.

"I can kill you all so easily. What should I remove from your bodies first? Your heart, spleen, stomach, intestines, or just slice you all in half?" Zabuza laughed maniacally out in the mist and Sasuke felt his arms shaking and tried to stop shaking.

"Sasuke," He looked up to Kakashi, who turned his head back to him and smiled his U-smile at him.

"Don't you worry. I won't ever let my comrades die," Kakashi turned back to Zabuza and calmly stood there.

"The Demon of the Mist, Zabuza Momochi. I take it that you were hired to attack the bridge builder," Zabuza's laugh echoed out into the area and then he appeared, standing on the river.

"Well, that would be the only reason I'm here. Now, are you ready to die?" Kakashi narrowed his eyes and then he slipped into his battle stance and then placed his hand on his hiate.

"It seems that I have to get serious against you," Kakashi pulled his hiate up and revealed his Sharingan. Zabuza sneered and slipped into his stance.

"Well, isn't this is a surprise. I didn't expect you to be Kakashi of the Sharingan. Now this is getting interesting," Hinata and Sasuke looked shocked and surprised, while Naruto looked confused.

N-No way! He has the Sharingan!? B-But how?! I thought the whole Uchiha clan was massacred. Hinata thought with a nervous glance at Sasuke, but he seemed as shocked as she was. Naruto frowned as he looked at them.

"What the hell is this Sharingan?! Can someone explain it?" Naruto asked and Hinata gulped and looked at him.

"The Sharingan was a kekkai genkai passed down through the Uchiha clan blood. It's able to let the user copy any type of Ninjutsu and Genjutsu with just one glance and then the user instantly knows the jutsu." Hinata spoke to Naruto, not taking her eyes off Kakashi. Naruto looked surprised and in awe at that.

"Wait, so then why does Kakashi-sensei have it if it's supposed to only be in the Uchiha clan?" Sasuke narrowed his eyes.

"That's what I wonder too," He muttered. Kakashi suddenly leapt towards Zabuza and both ninja's clashed their weapons at each other and took a stand on the water. Zabuza suddenly appeared behind Kakashi and sliced him in half, but it turned to water instantly. Zabuza narrowed his eyes.

Water clone, huh? So, where's the real one?

Suddenly, Zabuza jumped just as Kakashi appeared from the water and threw several shurikens towards Zabuza, who blocked them all with his sword but Kakashi was able to appear behind him again and Zabuza cursed.

"Ninja Art: Water Style: Water geyser!" Kakashi shouted as he released a powerful shot of water towards Zabuza, who was dodged immediately just as the water smashed into the river and caused several small waves to form and leave a small gap in the river. Zabuza swung his sword towards Kakashi with ease and he dodged, but not without a graze in his stomach and Kakashi winced and jumped away, catching his breath. Zabuza sneered at him.

"This isn't what I expected from the Copy-Ninja Kakashi Hatake. You will be such an easy kill," Zabuza ran towards him, but just as he was about to slice, the Kakashi in front of him turned to water and Zabuza's eyes widened and he cursed.

"Damnit! A water clone!" Kakashi appeared behind Zabuza and then Kakashi threw a kunai into Zabuza's arm and it embedded itself into his arm and Zabuza jumped away and glared at him as he pulled the kunai out without even flinching. Naruto, Hinata and Sasuke looked on in awe and slight fear.

This is what a ninja is…..This is what it means…. Hinata thought with fear and awe.

Woah! Kakashi-sensei isn't just lazy! Naruto thought.

I can't even compare….I need more power, like that, if I want to beat him.Sasuke thought with his fist clenched. Zabuza suddenly smirked and Kakashi narrowed his eyes, then widened his eyes.

"No! Everyone, move!" But it was too late, for Zabuza had flashed over to the group of gennin and each of them froze in horror and fear as he was about to slice them apart, along with Tazuna, when Kakashi appeared and knocked the sword away from the group by blocking it with his hand and then giving a roundhouse kick to Zabuza. Zabuza dodged and smirked as he saw that it wasn't a clone this time. Kakashi narrowed his eyes at him and ignored the stinging pain of his hand being sliced open. He looked back at his team and smiled his u-eye smile.

"I said I would protect my comrades," Kakashi disappeared and then engaged in a fist to fist combat with Zabuza, who was easily blocking his hits and Kakashi was blocking his as well. Suddenly, another Zabuza appeared behind Kakashi and he had to block the swing of the clone's sword, but the real Zabuza smirked as he formed a handsign for a jutsu.

"Water Style: Water Prison Jutsu!" Kakashi's eyes widened as a large bubble of water formed around him, as the clone disappeared and Kakashi was now trapped into the bubble. Naruto, Hinata and Sasuke looked in shock.

"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto shouted as Zabuza smirked.

I'm gonna be mean and end it there, because that's what the original Naruto show used to do as well. :). Anyway, I'm sorry it took so long for me to update this story, but I had a bad case of writer's block, because I was debating with myself on if I should follow how the episode went or just make it my own way. I decided to mix both together, a little bit. Some aspects of the TV show are in there, while some of it is my own creation. Hopefully I got that right, lol. Anyway, thanks for waiting this long. I have to go work on other stuff, so be on the lookout of when this might be updated next. And no Flames! Only if you wished to be destroyed by THE DARK FLAME MASTER! XD
