Part 1: How could you leave me for him? (A Sasuke Uchiha Love Story)

He made a seal and then turned into mist so that I couldn’t see where he was. A second later, Naruto, who was standing behind me, made a yelp of pain and when I turned to see what’s going on his headband had been thrown into the air and Naruto was lying on the grass a good five feet away from his original place. Zabuza was out of the mist now and stepping on Naruto’s headband while stating, “you’re just kids.”

I heard Sakura scream “Naruto” but I wasn’t paying attention to her, I had turned my attention back to Kakashi who was yelling at us.

“Everyone, get Tazuna-san and run!” he yelled. “You can’t win against him. He can’t move as long as he has me trapped in his hydro-prison. He also won’t be able to use his water clone once you get away from him! Run for it NOW!”

After a few second Sasuke yelled, “We’ve got to do it,” while charging forward. He began throwing shuriken at the Zabuza clone but Zabuza just swatted them away with his big-ass sword. Sasuke then jumped up, ready to pounce on Zabuza, and yelled, “Now.” Zabuza grabbed him by the neck and began choking him. He then threw Sasuke to the side.

“SASUKE-KUN” Sakura screamed. Oh no this is bad, it would be hard enough with just fighting Zabuza but to protect Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura and Tazuna while also trying not to 1) get myself killed, and 2) let Haku (whom I’m sure is watching from up in the trees somewhere) see all my moves, this is gonna be impossible. Out best plan of action is to get Kakashi out of the water prison, but how? While thinking this, Naruto, wanting to act all strong, ran at Zabuza head on and he was immediately defeated. What a baka (idiot)

“What are you thinking charging in like that on your own,” Sakura asked the same thing going though all of our minds. “Even Sasuke-kun is no match against him. Genins like ourselves have no way of defeating him no matter what we try!” Than Naruto got back up and we all realized he had his forehead protector in his hand. ‘So that’s what he was after’ I thought amused.

“Hey…the no-brow over there, put this in your bingo book. the man who will become the Hokage of the Hidden Village of Konoha one day…” Naruto paused his little speech and put his forehead protector back on. “The Konoha-style ninja…Uzumaki Naruto.”

‘Nice speech.’ I again remarked. ‘Pretty big words, and I don’t think Zabuza fell for it.’

“Sasuke, listen to me for a second.”

“What do you want?”

“I have a plan.” Oh god he has a plan. This could be bad. Ah well, I’ll let him handle it. If he does anything too stupid I’ll stop him and finish this for myself. Until then let’s see what the little demon fox can do when put to the test.

I allowed them to do their little planning thing while I spoke with Zabuza.

“So how’ve you been? Can’t say I missed ya but I was wonderin’ what you been up to.”

And there he goes with the abnormally friendly attitude he has with me. “Oh you know, killing a lot of people, making a lot of cash. I see you’ve been up to quite a lot while I was gone as well. You’re now for the clean slate path.”

That fired up my inner attitude. “You know I never wanted to do the things I did. Some people don’t enjoy killing. Some people aren’t complete psychopaths.”

“Your dad’s one. And your mom fell in love with one. And the apple really doesn’t fall far from the—“

That really pissed me off! He has absolutely no right to speak about them. “Don’t you dare…If you fall your life I suggest you do not finish that sentence.”

Thankfully he didn’t get a chance to because by that time the boys had made their plan. Sakura and I stood in front of Tazuna protecting him from Zabuza, while Naruto and Sasuke stood towards the front of us.

“Let’s go crazy now,” Naruto stated. Zabuza just laughed at him.

He went back to his prick-phase. “You seem to be quite confident, but do you even have a chance for victory?”

Kakashi began yelling at us again. “What are you doing? I told you to run away! The outcome of this battle was decided when I got caught! RUN! Our mission is to protect Tazuna-san. Did you forget that?!”

We all looked back at the old man. “Don’t worry, I caused all of this in the first place. I won’t say that I want to survive no matter what. Sorry everyone, fight as much as you want.”

Sasuke smirked at that. “That’s how it is” and Naruto said, “Are you ready?”

And then, out of nowhere, Zabuza began laughing. “You sure don’t learn do you? Still pretending to be a ninja? When I was your age my hands were already soaked in blood,” he said. That of course freaked everyone out. Well, except me…I kind of already new that tidbit.

“The Demon Zabuza!” Kakashi exclaimed.

“It looks like you’ve heard of me.”

“A long time ago the Hidden Village of the Mist was known as the Village of the Bloody Mist…In that village, there was an obstacle that existed to become a ninja.”

“So you also know about the final test there.”

“The final test?” Naruto asked. “Hey, what was the ‘final test’?”

“Students killing each other,” Zabuza explained in a really creepy voice so that Naruto got completely freaked out. “Friends who have eaten from the same dish are separated into groups of two and forced to fight each other until one of them is killed. This is done with friends who have helped each other, shared their dreams, and competed together.”

“That’s awful,” Sakura, stated while shaking from the cowardice running through her veins.

“Ten years ago, the Hidden Village of the Mist had to go through a reformation. Because in the previous year, a monster appeared that finally decided it.”

“A reformation…?” Sakura questioned. “A reformation…? What did the monster do?”

“A small boy who had not even gained the right to become a ninja killed more than 100 of the candidates that year, and killed them all without hesitation.”

“That was fun,” Zabuza replied. Ok now that’s just sick.

And with that said, Zabuza cam after Sasuke. He elbowed him in the gut which sent him flying backwards, and then when he was down, Zabuza elbowed him again in the stomach causing blood to fly out of his mouth.

I heard Sakura scream “Sasuke-kun” but I didn’t really care about that. I was more preoccupied with the fact that Zabuza had now stepped on Sasuke and was now using him as a foothold.

“Die,” was Zabuza’s only words.

“Naruto yelled, “Damn it!” while doing the Kage Bunshin no-Jutsu and created about 20 clones of himself.

“Oh, the shadow replication technique?” Zabuza said in a mock-surprised voice. “And you replicated into quite a few.” With that all the Naruto’s jumped on Zabuza at once but it didn’t work. Zabuza just through them off him.

“It’s impossible! You can’t beat a guy like that!” Tazuna yelled. But Naruto wasn’t paying attention. He had found something in his little back pack and threw it at Sasuke. Sasuke grabbed it and I realized it was the Fuuma Shuriken or what some might call the Shadow Windmill.

“A shuriken won’t work on me,” Zabuza stated. Well that was kind of obvious, but with the way those two are smiling (when in Sasuke’s case, smirking) I’d say there is another part to this plan.

Sasuke then jumped in the air and threw his shuriken at Zabuza. But it turned out he wasn’t throwing it at the Zabuza in front of us; he was throwing it at the real Zabuza. But he was too quick for that. Zabuza easily caught the shuriken in his hand while stating “I see. So you’re after the real one this time. But it’s too easy for me!”

However along with that one there was another shuriken, a shadow one that came at him and this one he couldn’t just catch. But of course, Zabuza jumped over that one. “But it’s still too easy for me,” Zabuza exclaimed.
