Angel of The Hidden Leaf

After travelling for a while, we finally made it to the edge of the Land of Fire. Team Seven hired a motorboat while I observed the situation a bit closer since I can't see through the mist. As they traveled through the water, Tazuna told everyone about the struggles of his country.

"You see... The Land of Waves was once a prosperous trading country. We trade our marine resources with the neighboring country in the mainland." Tazuna started his story with a sad smile on his face. "However, one day, a man named Gato came to our country and ruined everything. He ruled over all the merchants and took over our marines."

Sakura nodded in realization. "I get it, you're trying to restore your economy by creating a bridge?" Then she snapped her finger in deep thought. "But what's stopping him from taking over the bridge you just created? If I were him, I would just let you build a bridge for him and put a toll on whoever passes through it. Easy money!"

Tazuna blinked owlishly before his eyes widened in realization. "What!?" He looked around in panic. "What?! Why didn't I realize that sooner?!" He put his hands over his face. "I wasted so much money for this! How can I be so stupid!?"

Well... This is why you shouldn't drink kids. Some pretty darn obvious stuff may go past your head. "It's all right I've thought about it." Sakura said suddenly. "When we get there I'm going to talk to Gato about leaving your country." Good plan, just need a little more work on the details.

Sasuke seemed to have the same thought as I do. "And how are you going to do that?" He asked her incredulously. "Stroll into his headquarters, kidnap him, and force him to leave the country?"

Sakura smiled. "See! That's a plan right there. What else do we need eh?" She asked.

"Oh, I don't know, an army?" Sasuke retorted.

The girl just pointed at Naruto sitting beside him. "All packed inside this portable Uzumaki Naruto." She replied simply. "Besides, Uchiha are known to be one man army aren't they?"

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "So this simple C Rank mission just escalates into kidnap mission of a wealthy businessman with an entire country as it stakes?" He asked.

"That's right! Or are you scared Sasuke kun?" Sakura replied with teasing look on her face. "Is the great heir of the Uchiha clan scared of the big bad Jounin and some rich guy? How are you going to avenge your clan if you're scared of some business man?"

Holy Cheese... Since when does Sakura become this good at talking. She made us all do an A Rank mission and now here she is turning Sasuke into her ninja servant. Sasuke couldn't even say a word, he just looked away in defeat.

Naruto on the other hand seemed to be enjoying every part of the conversation. He just watched the two of them while chuckling at how Sakura played around with Sasuke's pride like a puppet with a string. "Go Sakura chan, show that Teme who's the boss." He whispered with a smile on his face.

Kakashi chuckled a little and looked up towards me. "Haios, come here for a second." He told me.

I hovered down towards them. "Yeah sensei?" He looked at me for a moment and took out a folded Demon Wind Shuriken from a scroll. "A giant shuriken? For what?"

The Jounin winked at me. "Force equals mass times acceleration. Think about it."

I grinned and held the giant shuriken in my hand. With the force I start spinning it faster and faster between my hand. "Oh, this gonna hurt a lot!!!"

Soon enough, we made it to an empty clearing. I watched from above while struggling to see through the mist. In an event when my sight is impaired, I create a huge force field as far as I can and use 'touch' as my primary sense.

It worked spectacularly and I can 'see' a figure standing near the river bank. Right behind his back is a Huge and I mean huge butcher knife twice my size. "Kakashi, we have an enemy nin with a huge sword and some sort of fabric covering his face. Over."

"Roger that, over." Kakashi replied.

The nin was about to throw a sword. But then, a brilliant idea appeared on my head. "By the way Kakashi, how good are you with sword? The big ones I mean." I asked him while preparing to use my power.

I can almost 'feel' Kakashi smiling behind his mask. "I might be a little rusty, but I'm sure I will manage." He told me.

The Mysterious Ninja then threw his sword with all his might and it went flying through the mist towards team seven. Using my powers I decreased its speed and moved it in such way that the blunt end of it is pointing at Kakashi.

'Thump.' Kakashi managed to catch the sword with his bare hands. The rest of the Team Seven grinned after seeing Kakashi wielding the enemy's sword with ease. "WHOA!!!" Naruto exclaimed in amazement. "That's awesome sensei! Is it heavy?"

Kakashi shook his head and shouldered the huge sword. "Chakra enhanced muscle, this is nothing." He replied with a badass look on his face. "Isn't that right, Zabuza Momochi?" He said towards the mysterious figure in front of him.

"Impressive..." Zabuza slowly walked out of the thick mist. "I did not expect Sharingan Kakashi to be strong enough to catch the Decapitating Carving Knife." He made a hand sign and the mist thickens considerably. "But unfortunately... That won't be enough."

I can feel Zabuza quickly and silently moved in towards Tazuna. "Naruto!" I warned the blonde. Naruto nodded and a clone substituted himself with Tazuna. Zabuza slashed clone with a kunai and revealed his position to Kakashi.

Kakashi quickly moved in towards Zabuza and sliced him with the sword. But the missing nin was fast enough and blocked the blade with a couple of Kunai. "You are not worthy to wield my sword." He locked the blade with both kunai and moved in to kick Kakashi.

The Sword flew and landed back to Zabuza's hands. "Now let, the games begin." He created five watery clones and before disappearing back into the mist.

"No, I say we are not playing your games." Sakura exclaimed suddenly. "Instead, let's make a bargain. How about it, Demon of The Hidden Mist?"

I can feel Zabuza stopping in his tracks. "Oh, what a brave little medic." He walked closer towards Sakura and looked at her threateningly. "Tell me, what can a little medic possibly give to a ruthless killing machine such as myself..." Then he tilted his head a little. "Do you even know who I am?"

Sakura folded her arms in front of her chest. "Well, I know that you are a missing nin from the Hidden Mist Village. Oh and you also gained the moniker Demon of The Hidden Mist for killing a hundred academy student to graduate." Then she chuckled a little. "And you thought you had it bad with Iruka Sensei, ne Naruto?"

Naruto gulped a little after hearing that but he said nothing. Even Sasuke seems to be disturbed by all this.

Zabuza chuckled a little in amusement. "Since you know about this, what kind of bargain will you give me?" He asked. "Is it for me to spare your life for the Bridge Builder? I might be kind enough to arrange that..."

Sakura shook her head. "No, that's not it." She pointed at a fake Tazuna standing in the distance. "Unfortunately for you Tazuna is under my protection. So instead, here's a better deal. Why don't we all work together and rob the man who hired you? You get all the money you need and you won't have to worry about the Angel of the Hidden Leaf."

Angel of the Hidden Leaf? Wow... Is she really going to do it?

"Angel of the Hidden Leaf?" Zabuza asked in disbelief. "Very amusing, there is no such thing as the Angel of The Hidden Leaf..."

Oh yes she is... this is gonna be good. "Yes, the Angel of the Hidden Leaf. She's protecting us; immortal, undying, she can live forever." Sakura said with a very confident look on her face. "Look me in the eye and tell me if I lied."

Zabuza looked at Sakura in the eyes. "Every good ninja knows how to lie."

Okay... Let's convince him a little shall we? I checked my pocket and took out a small shuriken. Using the force I start spinning it like a small spinning razor of death. Then I lowered it to the ground and make it strike every single water clone in less than three seconds.

Zabuza's eyes widened after sensing that his clone has been dispelled. "Clever trick with Shadow Clones and Shuriken wouldn't trick me..." He muttered. "Don't play around with me little girl, there is no such thing as the Angel of Hidden Leaf."

Sakura looked around. "Hmm... Maybe it's because of all the mist in this place." I built up some force before shooting a powerful shockwave to the ground. Then, just before Zabuza can spot me, I quickly flew higher and hid behind a cloud.

Now that the whole clearing is devoid of mist, I can clearly see Sakura standing defiantly before a very nervous Demon of the Hidden Mist. "Impossible! There's no way that wasn't a Ninjutsu!" Zabuza exclaimed in disbelief.

"You see, the Angel of the Hidden Leaf has been with us for a very long time." Sakura pointed at Sasuke. "Remember the Uchiha Massacre? Have you ever wondered who saved him, the last Uchiha?"

This time, I can almost see Zabuza shivering in terror. But he didn't give up just like that. He gripped his blade tightly and was about to strike Sakura. "ENOUGH!!! Let's see your so-called angel save you from this!!!"

I quickly put up a powerful down force towards Zabuza, making him slower and harder for him to wield the Decapitating Carving Knife. "What is it Zabuza san? Sword felt too heavy for you?" Sakura asked while sidestepping his sloppy attack. "Or is it the Angel of The Hidden Leaf?"

Zabuza let go of his sword and lunged at Sakura. But I quickly caught him with the force and lifted him a few feet into the air. He made a hand seal and concentrate. "RELEASE!!!" He exclaimed before releasing a huge wave of chakra to the clearing around him.

Nothing happens obviously, this isn't a genjutsu. "Oh no..." Sakura faked a horrified look on her face. "She has you in her grip! You have to do something or she will kill you!"

Let's see... Threat of death... I took out the Demon Wind Shuriken Kakashi gave me earlier and start spinning it around. I spin it faster and faster until it is nothing but a blur of grey disc floating between my arms.

The Spinning Demon Wind shuriken floated in front of Zabuza. He tried to substitute but I held his hand from making a hand sign. "No! No! Stop it!" He exclaimed in terror as the demon wind closer inches closer and closer to his body. "Somebody save me!!!" He yelled out in pure horror.

Suddenly, something, I don't know what it's too small for me to feel from up here, hit Zabuza's neck. I can feel the ninja went limp in my grasp. "Okay... What's going on? Did somebody kill him? Cuz I swear I wasn't choking him or anything." I said.

Another masked ninja appeared from the woods. He walked towards Zabuza before looking at the Spinning Shuriken of Death warily. "I'm sorry for the intrusion. I am a hunter nin from the Hidden Mist, tasked to hunt down Zabuza Momochi. Would you please kindly remove him from the jutsu? I will take his body back to the Hidden Mist."

Before I can release him though, Sakura stepped forward and flashes her flashlight at Zabuza. "Sir, I'm a certified doctor and I know for a fact that he is not dead." She looked at the senbon behind Zabuza's neck. "That is a senbon technique used to put patient in a near death state during operations in the vital organ." She added.

I quickly bind the hunter ninja's hand before he can make a hand sign. "All right, tell us the truth or the Angel will slice the Demon in half in front of your face. We won't kill you of course, but I heard that blood can be pretty hard to clean." Sakura said calmly.

Yep, Sakura is a certified badass.

The Hunter nin looked down in regret. "Forgive me, Zabuza sama..." He whispered. Then he looked at Kakashi. "I am a ninja working under the tutelage of Zabuza sama. We became bounty hunters to get enough money to start a coup at the Village of the Hidden Mist."

Sakura rubbed her chin in deep thought. "I see... You need money from Gato." Then she exhaled a breath of frustration. "But why is it always about money though!? Money, money, money, is that all you humans ever think about?" She walked around in frustration. "Sure, you need money to live, but killing for money?!? How is THAT even sustainable in the first place!?"

Every single person in the clearing just looked at Sakura in disbelief.

Sakura ignored them and took out her flashlight. She flashes it at Zabuza and he suddenly jerked back up into consciousness. "All right big guy, listen up! You are not in a position to negotiate. Yes, the Angel of The Hidden Leaf is real. Yes, that's spinning wheel of death in front of you. Yes, we also caught your subordinate. Yes, I just returned your upper body's senses and your lower body is still paralyzed. SO!"

Sakura smiled sweetly at Zabuza. "Would you kindly come with us to visit the Land of Waves?" She asked him. "I promise that the Angel won't kill you if you comply." She added. "I also brought some cookies sealed away in my pocket."

Zabuza sighed a little before nodding in defeat. "All right... I accept my defeat." He muttered.
