Kakashi vs Zabuza

"Stop." Haku who was lying on the ground with a broken mask said to Tendou.

Tendou stopped and looked at Haku.

"What? Did you change your mind and want to tell me about more interesting things?" Tendou asked.

"If I told you about everything I know, would that make you stop from trying to go back to help the copy ninja kill him," Haku asked.

"... Sure. I don't think he even needs me to kill Zabuza but If you want to, you can stall me as much as you want by telling me more about you. Your abilities, your stories and how the two of you met." Tendou said as he sat near the place where Haku was lying.

-----------------------------

On the constructing bridge that the builder was working on.

"Here are your drinks?" Sakura said as she handed over the drink to the builder who was still working on the bridge with a few of his accomplices.

"Thank you sakura chan." The accomplices said to Sakura.

"Sakura. You are already back?" Kakashi asked.

"Yes. Here is the drink you ordered." Sakura said as she dropped a can of soda near Kakashi.

"Thanks, Sakura," Kakashi said.

Now take off your mask. Show me the ugly face that you are hiding under the mask. Sakura thought as she stared at Kakashi.

Then suddenly mist started to shroud the place where they were near.

"It seems that he is finally here," Kakashi said as he took out a kunai.

No way. I have not mentally prepared for a fight. Sakura yelled in her inner mind.

But she also pulled out a kunai.

"Everyone. Get out of here. I will take care of him." Kakashi said.

"Kakashi sensei. I wanted to fight too." Sakura replied.

After seeing the overwhelming power of Tendou during their journey she felt that she didn't want to be left behind.

And she knew if she didn't participate in this fight she would not grow as a Ninja.

"Then you be careful Sakura. I will try my best to protect you." Kakashi said.

"Everyone else goes and hides somewhere nearby," Kakashi said.

The builders nodded as they ran away.

"You are not getting away," Zabuza said as he dashed towards the builders that ran away.

"I am not going to let you," Kakashi said as he launched a kunai towards Zabuza.

Zabuza stopped and parried the kunai with his sword.

But he saw Kakashi start to run towards him while doing hand signs.

"Lightning blade," Kakashi said as one of his hands was now covered in lighting after he finished his hand signs.

He dragged the hand that was covered in lighting towards Zabuza.

"Water style. Water clone jutsu." Zabuza created a water clone.

The clone started to dash towards Kakashi with the intention of hindering Kakashi from closing in towards Zabuza while he still had his lighting blade.

Then suddenly a kunai pierced the head of the clone from the back.

Zabuza looked towards the direction where the kunai came from and saw that it was Sakura.

The pink-haired little ninja girl.

He was so annoyed by her that he wanted to run towards her and cut her down but he couldn't, especially with Kakashi rushing towards him.

Kakashi's lighting blade pierced his body around the stomach area.

Blood started to drip from Zabuza's mouth.

Zabuza swings his sword at Kakashi. Kakashi backed away to dodge the attack but he saw Zabuza start to use hand signs as soon as he backed away.

"This is not good," Kakashi said as he put both of his hands on the x position on his chest to protect his body.

"Water-style water dragon jutsu," Zabuza said as a dragon made of water started to form around his body.

Then it jumped towards Kakashi.

Kakashi was unable to dodge it in time so he was directly hit by it as he was launched away from the bridge that he was standing on.

"Kakashi sensei," Sakura called out to Kakashi.

"Now it's time to take care of you before he gets back," Zabuza said as he looked at Sakura.

Sakura pulled out a kunai and took to a battle stance to defend herself against Zabuza.

Zabuza rushed towards Sakura.

"Water style water dragon jutsu." However, he was hit in the back by a water dragon.

"Kakashi sensei," Sakura said in joy.

Kakashi created a shadow clone in the air before he fell into the water and used that clone to throw him back onto the bridge.

"Zabuza. You are fighting me." Kakashi said as he ran towards Kakashi.

"Tsk." Zabuza prepared to use the hiding in the mist technique again to reposition himself and try to take down Kakashi and Sakura from a blind spot.

However, as some mist started to surround him he saw a pink-haired girl rushing towards him with a kunai in her hand.

He stopped his hiding-in-mist technique and slashed her with his sword.

However, he realized it was a bait. It was a clone created from an E-rank jutsu.

"Good job sakura," Kakashi said as he appeared behind Zabuza and pierced his heart with a lighting blade.

"It's over," Kakashi said as he pulled out his hand from Zabuza's body.

Zabuza fell to the ground with a hole in his body.

Unlike Tendou he was not going to get back up.

--------------------------------

Tendou was listening to Haku who was telling him about how he and Zabuza met.

"Huh?" Suddenly tears started to drop down from Haku's face.

"It seems that everything is over," Tendou said.

Tendou's eyes are not covered by his forehead protector instead, they seem to show a gentle expression towards Haku.

He got up and put a small glass bottle containing a purple liquid inside it near Haku.

"I don't think you can try to avenge Zabuza by killing Kakashi with your current strength. And I don't want you to die. For now at least." Tendou said.

"But for someone whose sole purpose is to become useful to a person who already has died can be also torture. So I am giving you a way out." Tendou said as he slowly walked away from the place where Haku was lying.

"I don't think we will ever see each other again," Tendou muttered.

"Hmmm. What a beautiful but cruel world." Tendou said.
