Journey to the Land of Waves

"Lost Cat Tora caught, Mission Complete," said Kakashi 

"Hmm, what's the next mission Kakashi?" asked Cid paying no respect to his Sensei

"Hey Cid, this is the 18th time I have said this respect Kakashi-sensei," said Naruko with anger

"Yeah, Cid it's fine sometimes but your arrogance is a little too much now," said Sasuke 

"Are you guys kitten me right now," said Cid 

"Are you for real," said Sasuke with a deadpan look

"That joke was quite good," said Kakashi 

"I know right," 

Inside the Hokage's Office

"So the available missions are Babysitting the daimyo, clearing the field, and-," 

"No, old man give us some real missions, not some stupid babysitting," said Naruko

"Give us some real missions,"

'He's got a point,' thought Cid

'Can she stop screaming,' thought Sasuke

'Sigh, I am not paid enough for this,' thought Kakashi

"Naruko, you are just a simple genin with little to no experience, just like others you will start with simple missions, So complete missions develop your skills and prove yourself," said Iruka in a reprimanding voice

"So, babysitting a kid and cleaning his shit will help develop our skills," sneered Cid

"Hmm, you are right, so how about this I will give you a C rank mission, you guys will be bodyguards on a journey," said Hiruzen

'Hmm so it's starting,' thought Cid as he became serious

"Bring him in," said Hiruzen as the door opened a drunken old man appeared

"Huh what the, a bunch of kids, I thought you said I would be getting Ninjas you expect me to believe that short kid is a ninja," said Tazuna 

-------Some time later----------

"Will this brat really keep me safe," asked Tazuna seeing Naruko hopping around everywhere

"Do not worry he is with me and I am a Jonin," said Kakashi but then he saw Cid signalling him something

"So what do you want," said Kakashi as he squinted his eyes

"Kakashi, don't you think this mission is a little weird," said Cid in a serious tone

"What do you mean," asked Kakashi little alarmed seeing Cid the arrogant kid being serious

"Nothing just keep your guard up," said Cid but then he looked somewhere

"You can come out now little rat," said Cid in a cold voice as the Demon Brothers started sweating but then were attacked by Sasuke 

"See this is what I meant," said Cid as he pointed towards the now dead Demon Brothers

"Hmm, your right something is wrong," said Kakashi as he looked at Tazuna who was now cold.

"Hey Naruko you aren't hurt are you scaredy cat," said Sasuke mockingly

"Hey why did you leave it to the Genin to fight," said Tazuna

"Oh I could have finished them off quickly but I needed to know there Target and there purpose," said Kakashi as he looked at Tazuna

--Some gaslighting later----

"So this is the Land of waves," said Naruko 

"What happened Cid you seem surprised," asked Kakashi looking at Cid

"It's nothing," said Cid, even though he was a little suspicious Kakashi had other things to deal with.

'Zabuza did not arrive, what the hell, is this my Butterfly Effect but not like I am complaining,' thought Cid

Outside Tazuna's House

"I presume all of you here can do basic chakra control exercises such as Tree climbing and Water walking," asked Kakashi as all three of them nodded

"Nice, so today I will teach you the advance version of these techniques," said Kakashi as he used his hands and started walking up the tree

"This is an advanced version of the previous version as the user requires more control over there Chakra as well as the mental strain it puts on the user," said Kakashi

"Now try all of three or two of you," said Kakashi as he saw Cid already do it

'Damn it Damn it why am I so far behind,' thought Sasuke as he saw Cid do it

'NO, No don't be jealous he is your friend,' thought Sasuke

"Hey Cid how did you do it so quickly," asked Naruko 

"I am simply built different," said Cid in a mocking tone

-----Next Day-----

"Guys when will the bridge be finished," asked Cid bored

"Hey it takes time," said Tazuna being annoyed of Cid's antics

"Well Whatev-, what is that," was all Cid could say before being separated by mist

"Naruko Sasuke Cid," screamed Kakashi seeing his squad gone

"We finally meet, Kakashi Hatake the Copy Ninja," said a man with who was wearing bandages like a mask

"You are Zabuza Momochi," said Kakashi recognizing Zabuza's sword while he revealed his sharingan

"You are famous as the Demon of the hidden mist," said Kakashi trying to buy time to asses the situation

"Stop trying to buy time," said Zabuza as he swung his sword but Kakashi dodged it

"Where are my students," asked Kakashi while dodging Zabuza's attacks

"Heh, you know what I am in a good mood today So I will tell you," said Zabuza as he stopped attacking and sat on a tree

"So the plan was that Hasumo traps you and Haku and I deal with the kids and Tazuna and then Run," said Zabuza as Kakashi started wondering who Hasumo and Haku is

"So we separated you using my secret technique, where I use Mist to separate you and then kill you but it looks like you got Lucky and that blue-eyed kid got unlucky," said Zabuza

"Don't underestimate that kid he is even stronger than me," said Kakashi

"Hahaha, the one your underestimating is Hasumo, is full name is Hasumo Yuki Uzumaki, He has the blood of the Uzumaki clan and the Yuki clan. He has absolute mastery over Ice style and Uzumaki clans techniques, even Kages will struggle against him,"
