Rain And Lightning (A Sasuke Love Story)

Kakashi's Been Caught, It's Up To Us

Sasuke and I stood, standing beside Tazuna.

Naruto glared at Zabuza before charging at him.

"Naruto!" Kakashi yelled, "NO!"

Sakura screamed, worried for Naruto.

Sasuke and I stood, shocked.

Zabuza's fist collided with Naruto's forehead, I could see the blood as Naruto was knocked back.

Sakura shook her head, "What are you thinking charging at him yourself?! Even Sasuke couldn't get to him! We're only genin! He's a jonin, we can't defeat him! What did you think you'd accomplish with that?!"

Naruto pulled himself up, his headband in his hand. He wasn't attacking, he was trying to get his headband back, I heard Naruto growl, he's angry now, "Hey you, freak with no eyebrows, put this in your Bingo Book, the ninja that will become Hokage of the Village Hidden in the Leaves one day, he never backs down! His name's Naruto Uzumaki!" Naruto tied his headband back on.

I felt hope and pride for Naruto. I know I had my doubts about this team but I think I was wrong.

"Alright, Sasuke, listen up! Can you hear me?" Naruto started confidently.

"Yeah, I hear you." Sasuke is intrigued.

"I've got a plan."

"Tsk. So, you're finally thinking of teamwork, huh?"

"Alright, guys," He scanned the three of us, "Let's go wild!"

Zabuza scoffed, "Big shorts for a little man, but do you think you have a chance?"

I smiled and backed Naruto up, "We're stronger than you think, we're team 7 and we have the future Hokage with us."

Naruto shot me a big smile.

"What are you doing?!" Kakashi yelled, "I told you to run." He should know better with the group he got. "This fight was over the moment I got caught! Now take off!"

"We can do this!" Sakura shouted.

"As a team!" I back her up.

"This isn't a mission to show how brave you are!" Kakashi lectured, "It's a mission to protect Tazuna! Now! Do as I said and run!"

We all looked at Tazuna, "Bridge builder?" Naruto asked.

Tazuna was at war with himself. "Well, I guess since you're in this mess because of me, because of my selfish need to live, then, do what you need to do! Fight to save your sensei!!"

Sasuke chuckled, "You hear that?"

Naruto smiled, "Yeah, believe it! You ready?!"

Zabuza chuckled, "You really haven't learned anything, have you? Still playing your little game, pretending to be ninja. When I was your age, this hand had already crushed many opponents."

That was a kick to our confidence.

"Zabuza the Demon." Kakashi was shocked.

"So," Zabuza was amused, "I was in your book too?"

"Long ago," Kakashi explained, "in the Village Hidden in the Mist, also known as Blood Mist Village, to be a ninja there was one final test."
