9 BATTLE WITH ZABUZA

.....

All the tension or strees for the now B- Rank was getting all of the team 7 quite stressed, but in contrast Shi Yan was chilling, After he was done with signing. He laid down enjoying the natural air while floating freely. Everyone was quite infuriated at him for his listless behavior but they can only endure.

' All these year, this is what i wanted to live with no restrictions and enjoy myself. I know I may come off as a ignorant person who is wasting his time and potential having Great knowledge and all but think for yourself, What is life? A Rich successful man eats, reproduce and dies , street dog also eats, reproduce and dies so what is the difference between these lives? Very simple one Lived while the other was merely Alive. What defines a life is your actions, and did you like the results of such action. How did your life effect other and what legacy did you leave, All those idiot who say I don't care about friends, other people or society are just making themselves feel good in fact they care more than anyone,

it's simple everyone likes to be praised and they feel anger or disappointed when their hardwork goes unnoticed.

So, I am doing just that I worked this hard for this long, now I am through being just a nobel, I will sing when I want, I will flirt when I want, I will dance when I want and those who stand in my way I will crush them.

*Sweesh *

As Team 7 made their way on the other side of the road, suddenly Naruto flinged his kunai almost hitting a white rabbit, Seeing this Shi Yan smiles cause he know the showdown is about to happen.

' I am feeling an itch to try Zabuza '

" Everyone duck" came a urgent Kakashi voice.

Shi Yan shrugged his warning and looked at the oncoming Executioner's Blade,He raised his right hand and absorbed the sword in his spatial ring.

'So easy, I can store Any item in my ring as long it doesn't have anyone signature, Which is this case Executioner's Blade, doesn't have, Normal Chakra cannot be used to bind Item with soul .There is not really a lot of item that is soul bound. But 'Samehada can be an exception but if given time I can also tame it'

Alarmed by his sword stolen Zabuza appeared and looked coldly at me and demanded. "Give me my sword back, brat "

Shi Yan turns and kicks behind him where another Zabuza appeared and it dissolve into water.

" Good try Zabuza Momochi but not enough, you want your sword huh here take it " Surprising everyone Shi Yan actually threw the sword back to Zabuza.

" What are you doing " Sakura Shrilled.

Even after Kakashi opened his ' Sharingan' and found no trap on the sword was confused at my action.

' He thought I rigged it huh 'I ignored Sakura and took out my sword. I am getting a chance to fight a Jonin level sword user I am not going to waste it at all. I looked at Kakashi and Said " I will fight him, you take care of the client, there is another mouse hidden here "

Understandably He complied, Although he is confused at why I did what I did. He also want to gauge my strength.

" You are quite stupid, To actually think you complied , I guess I will grant you a quick death as a reward "

Shi Yan said nothing to his provocation, He is not so stupid to fall for his ploys, Knowing he cannot shook his opponent mentally, Zabuza attacked.

Shi Yan also disappeared from his place.

' Swift step' Getting right in front of Zabuza he swinges sword almost decapitating him, Zabuza dodged but was flinged back at the sheer momentum.

" I forgot to introduce him, His name is' Samatage rarenai', and the reason why I gave you your sword was to see how good if fare against "Executioner's Blade," and also fight you but Taking a Sword from one of the Seven swordsman of the mist is equivalent to crippling them. So, Don't you dare die early on me " Shi Yan licked his lips saying that and released a Titanic aura, Sharpe as a butcher knife.

What followed was no talk but a sword feast, Zabuza Wielded His Executioner's Blade, masterfully but Shi Yan achievement in swordplay was clearly above him, knowing he can take no advantage he created space and used mist jutsu but it is of no use to Shi Yan, his senses are very developed although he doesn't know what it's like to wield Sharingan, His eyes, ears and instinct can follow all movement and mist is nothing to him.

*cling*

Zabuza attacked from behind, Shi Yan parried but another Zabuza appeared cutting both Shi Yan and zabuza in half, Which was obviously a clone , but soon Zabuza retreated his sword to stop a sneak attack from Shi Yan . What zabuza hit was merely a Afterimage,

With constant back and forth, Zabuza was gaining injury after injury, while Shi Yan remain untouched, feeling played zabuza was insulted. He risked a attack on abdomen to cleave Shi Yan in half, which Shi Yan dodged and getting a chance he escaped to mid range.

" Water Dragon Jutsu"

Shi Yan sighed ' You just had to do that didn't you and here I was having a lot of fun'. Shi Yan pointed his index finger in zabuza direction and a small water drop concentrated itself, it's a profound art, where he compresses a huge amount of water and then release it in his desired direction. As for the Strength of Compressed water, it can even cleave rocks in half.

A long Blue ray flashed dismantling The water clone and hitting Zabuza behind it, although Zabuza sensed danger and tried to dodged his left shoulder was punctured into a sorry sight.

'He is about to come out now '

As expected Haku came with same scenario as canon, just this time Kakashi at his full health knew something was wrong and didn't buy his story. I took no interest in it. Haku and Kakashi were about to toe to toe , when a clone of Haku appear to attack Tazuna, Kakashi looked at me and seeing I have no interest in helping he had to save Tazuna and his students and hence they escaped successful.

" Why didn't you helped we could have gotten them both" A angry Sakura screamed at me demanding a answer to my actions.

" Simple. I am not obligated to, I don't care about what happens to you because you are a ninja , a tool I hired , as for Tazuna I couldn't care less about his life ,he is just a stranger to me and In case you forget I am just a client I am not in any way needed to help you "

Tongue tied at my brutal retort , She asked " But you are strong, you could have helped "

" I am strong that means I am obligated to help, Zabuza was also strong did he helped anyone but himself , Hokage is also strong did he went to help everyone in trouble he even let his allies die . why don't you use the same logic on your opponent in the future you will know the answer then. IT'S NOT ACADEMY ANYMORE, PEOPLE WILL NOT ACT ACCORDING TO THE RULE HERE "

" Earlier you guys understand this better, Their is only blood on the path you all chooses to walk, Their will be betrayal, heinous acts, inhumane behavior and whatnot. Grow up, Don't blame your weakness on another, you are weak accept it and do something about it "

All three Genins went into contemplation after my scolding, Kakashi looked at me in another light probably thinking, ' He's method are ruthless but is kind or something' . I did that only because I want to leave no chance at downgrading them and showing how powerful I am . 'I wonder what face Kakashi will make when he knows that. '
