NARUTO: Demon's rebirth in Naruto

"Mr.Tazuna we need to talk" after kakashi said those words, Tazuna gets nervous.

Chaging subject tazuna yells at kakashi, "why did you leave the genin, they may have DIED"

Kakashi slowed his pace, his single visible eye narrowing as he turned to Tazuna and says, "I want to know who they're after," Kakashi said, his voice calm. "Are they after us, the ninjas, or are they after you, the bridge builder?"

Tazuna froze, his eyes darting to the ground. "I... I lied," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. "Very powerful people are after me."

Sakura gasped. "But you're just a bridge builder! Why would anyone is after you"

kakashi makes his declaration, "This mission is beyond our scope. It should be raised to a B-rank, possibly even A-rank. you may have your reasons, but lying to us is unacceptable. We're leaving the mission." 

Tazuna's shoulders moved down as despair washed over him. "then I'm as good as dead," he muttered, his voice trembling. "They will kill me. It's fine... you guys ca leave. I have a grandson and a daughter. My grandson will cry, "Grandpa! Where are you, Grandpa?"

"WUUUUUU" Tazuna cried with a child like expression. "And my daughter will curse you for abandoning me and for causing my death. But you guys carry on and leave me here ad save yourselves."

All four man team faces gets uneasy faces and distorted with discomfort. Even Kakashi's calm mask cracked, his lips curling into a forced smile.

"Well," Kakashi sighed, scratching the back of his head. "I suppose we can't just abandon you now. We'll continue the mission... at least until we've escorted you to your house."

Relief flooded Tazuna's face, he thought to himsef 'I won' though he remained quiet.

The group walked on, the path growing darker as they entered the forest. An unnatural mist began to form, swirling around them and its getting thicker with each step.

"This mist…" Kakashi murmured, his senses on high alert. "It's not natural."

Suddenly, with his sharp senses and instincts he gets a conclusion. He says to the others " Be careful guys we're going to be attacked."

Suddenly a sword comes towards them swinging.

Kakashi yells "GET DOWN!"

The team dropped just in time as a massive blade spun through the air, slicing past them before embedding itself in a tree. The sheer size of it sent shivers to Sakura and Tazuna.

A person jumps over the blade. Atop the hilt of the blade, stood a tall figure. He has a mask hiding his mouth, his muscular frame loomed ominously as he gazed down at them.

"You are…..ZABUZA MOMOCHI, Rogue ninja from the Hidden Mist. Ex-head of the Assassination Corps. Known as the Demon of the Hidden Mist." Naruto said with straightup face.

Zabuza chuckles, his deep voice resonating. "It seems I am quite famous that even brats know my name."

Sakura glanced at Naruto, her voice trembling. "You know who he is?"

"Of course," Naruto said without hesitation. "I read his info in the bingo book."

"Then why didn't you recognize the other two who attacked us?" Sakura demanded.

Naruto shrugged. "I don't bother remembering every rogue ninja. I only look up the famous ones."

Kakashi gave Sakura and Sasuke a side glance. "You two should start reading the bingo book too. It'll save your lives someday." He then turned his attention to Zabuza, his tone serious. "This guy is an elite ninja who is completely different level than you guys. To fight him, I'll need this."

Kakashi raised a hand, pulling down his headband to reveal a crimson Sharingan eye.

"Manji formation!" Kakashi barked. "When I fight, protect the bridge builder!"

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura moved into position, forming a protective triangle around Tazuna.

Zabuza smirked. "Kakashi Hatake, of the Sharingan eye. Known far and wide as copy ninja- the ninja who copies a thousand jutsus. I'm honored to face you."

Sasuke stiffened at the mention of Kakashi's Sharingan, his mind racing. The Sharingan belongs to the Uchiha...

Kakashi noticed Sasuke's unease and spoke calmly. "I'll explain to you everything,later. Right now, focus on protecting the builder."

with that both kakashi and zabuza set to a stage of life or death battle
