CHAPTER 12: MISSION TO WAVE PT3
LOCATION: SOMEWHERE IN WAVE
TIME: SAME DAY
"I'm your opponent now" Benimaru declared, a confident smirk plastered across his face
Zabuza's eyes narrowed
Who does this brat think he Is? Does he have a death wish? He wondered
I can't remove my hand from the water prison or else it will collapse so I'll just make clones deal with them
Zabuza did a single hand seal and made 5 water clones, then ordered them to attack Benimaru
They are only Chunin level in strength, but that should be enough. You shouldn't have been so cocky brat
Zabuza smirked
Benimaru didn't run, he just smiled
Had this been a month ago I might've actually had some trouble
He thought smiling
But now? They are just too weak
In a flash Benimaru disappeared then reappeared in front of the clones, startling them
Then, without warning. He cut them down with a single slash, no technique, no skill just pure power
That kid, he's good
Zabuza thought
Maybe he'll be fun to kill
He smirked
"I don't have time for this"
Benimaru said
"If you don't take me on yourself then you will die so"
Benimaru continued
"Fear me. If you dare"
Benimaru pointed his blade at Zabuza and smirked
Zabuza's eye twitched in annoyance
The nerve of this kid He thought
Benimaru didn't wait. He rushed at Zabuza at Zabuza at full speed, determined to take him on
This kid. He isn't aiming to kill. He is aiming for my arm to break the jutsu
Zabuza realized
Clever…..but too obvious
Zabuza grabbed his sword with his left hand and countered Benimaru. The sound of metal crashing against metal filled the battlefield
Benimaru kept rushing at Zabuza, trying to cut his arm off while Zabuza simply blocked and defended
Zabuza jumped back, still holding onto the water prison and by extension Kakashi
Benimaru was put on one knee, panting heavily and seemingly exhausted and tired
Zabuza saw an opportunity, he rushed at Benimaru at his max speed, determined to end the boy's life and finish the fight
You're good fighter kid Zabuza admitted in his head
There is no doubt in my mind that if you survived this fight you would become strong. But the ninja world is too cruel for that. It doesn't always reward geniuses
Zabuza thought bitterly
Zabuza was getting closer, but then
"Looks like it's your turn boys"
Benimaru said
"ARE YOU TALKING TO YOURSELF NOW KID"
Zabuza shouted but then he noticed Sasuke behind him with a demon wind shuriken and his eyes widened
Sasuke threw the large shuriken at Zabuza so he was forced to jump in order to dodge, the water prison planted on the ground with his right hand
The shuriken flew past him but then transformed into Naruto who also held a demon wind shuriken
Naruto threw the shuriken in between Zabuza's arm and the water prison and with no way to dodge Zabuza was left with a choice
Damn it. If I leave my arm here it will get severed but if I remove it, the water prison will be released....which will happen either way Zabuza thought annoyed
I guess I really underestimated these brats
Zabuza chose the smarter of the two options, he removed his hand and dodged the shuriken which led to Kakashi being released and the water dispersing
Yes. We did it they thought in unison
Kakashi now released appears beside the team
"Yo"
He says casually
Team 7 sweat drop
You almost died. Why are you so calm? They wondered
"I knew you could do it"
He smiles at them
"But I have a question for you, Benimaru-kun"
Benimaru raised an eyebrow
"When exactly did you share your plan with Naruto and Sasuke?"
Kakashi asked
"The minute I arrived"
Benimaru said casually
Kakashi urged him to explain
"By manipulating the chakra in the air at a particular frequency it's possible to create sound waves"
He explained
Kakashi raised an eyebrow
In theory its possible but isn't that the-
"I used those sound waves to send a message to Naruto and Sasuke about our plan and to be ready at any time"
Benimaru continued
Sasuke nodded his head in affirmation while Naruto grinned like a madman
"You do realize that the technique you just used is-"
Kakashi tried to speak but was cut off
"One of the mental techniques used by the Yamanaka clan. I know"
Benimaru responded
"Then how"
Kakashi asked
"All it takes is precise Chakra control"
Benimaru shrugged his shoulders casually
Kakashi stored for a moment but said nothing
Though in truth, perfect chakra control wouldn't be enough Benimaru lamented
Perfect copy was the key
Benimaru smirked
"DON'T IGNORE ME, YOU BRATS"
Zabuza shouted, pointing his blade at them
"AS LONG AS I STILL DRAW BREATH. I'LL NEVER STOP FIGHTING"
Zabuza was preparing to rush at them once more. Benimaru and Kakashi got on guard and Naruto and Sasuke tensed up
Zabuza was about to attack when... he got hit, a needle to his neck, seemingly killing him
A figure appeared out of the darkness, clad in a dark uniform with a porcelain white mask with red markings covering their face
The figure landed on a tree and gave a slight nod to Kakashi
"Thank you for dealing with him"
The figure said
"I've been chasing him for a while and was just looking for a chance to strike"
He clarified and Kakashi narrowed his eyes then placed his hands on top of Naruto and Benimaru's shoulders
"No worries. You can take Zabuza and go"
Kakashi smiled and waved his hand
The figure leapt to the ground, grabbed Zabuza's body and disappeared without a trace
"I'll take my cane back now, thank you"
Another figure walked towards the group, Naruto and Sasuke tensed up again but Kakashi and Benimaru simply weren't phased
Benimaru simply grabbed the blade he had to using and tossed it to Chandler, who had now appeared
Chandler grabbed the blade then in a puff of smoke it transformed into a walking stick
"You sure took your time"
Benimaru said in a condescending tone
"I knew you could handle it"
Chandler grinned
"And if we couldn't"
Benimaru snapped back
"You would've stepped in right?"
Chandler didn't respond
"Right"
Benimaru asked again but again no response so he just gave up
"So where exactly are we gonna stay for the remainder of this mission"
He asked Kakashi
Kakashi got serious and responded
"No clue"
He smiled as everyone sweatdropped while Chandler threw his head back laughing
"Yep, that's Kakashi for ya"
Chandler, said still laughing
'What is with these old geezers and being so relaxed about everything 'Benimaru and Sasuke thought
