*From where we left off*

*With Naruto*

Naruto: *Jumping on trees* Ugh! I really hope I'm not too late!

*With Sasuke and Sakura*

Kakashi: Well well, so I had it right. It was all a act. An act with a cute little mask

Sakura: Huh?!

Sasuke: Big phoney! Ha

Tazuna: So I guess all that about being a tracker ninja protecting his village was just a bunch of bull...

Kakashi: They look pretty chummy to me. I'd say they've been pulling scams like that for a long time

Sakura: He's got some nerve facing us again after pulling that cheap trick!

Kakashi: And behind the mask. Who does he think he's fooling?

Sakura: Hm... speak for yourself sensei

Sasuke: That's it, I'm taking them out

Sakura: *Gasps*

Sasuke: Who does he think he's fooling? Hiding behind that mask like some sorta clown

Sakura: Sasuke! Your so cool!

Kakashi (T): 🤔 Wait a second... didn't I just say that? She'll never change

Author: He only speaks facts

Haku: He's impressive. Even though they were just one-tenth the strength of the original water clone Jutsu. He did destroy them all

Zabuza: That move still gave us the first advantage. Now use it

Haku: Right

Sasuke: What's this?!

Sasuke: *Goes on guard and smirks*

*Back at Tazuna's place*

Thugs: *Break down the wall*

Tsunami: !

Zōri: So you're Tazuna's daughter, Huh? Too bad. You'll have to come with us now!

Sound of glass breaking and Tsunami screaming

Inari: Mom! *Runs to the kitchen*

Tsunami: *Scared*

Thugs: *Laugh*

Inari: Mother!

Tsunami: No! Don't come out here! Run away! Hurry!

Waraji: Don't move! Should we grab this one too?

Zōri: No, Gato asked for just one hostage

Inari (T): ! Hostage?!

Waraji: All right! Let's waste him!

Inari: !!!

Waraji: *Weird ass grin*

Tsunami: Wait!

Waraji: Huh?

Tsunami: Please don't hurt my son! I'm begging you! He's just a boy! I'll do anything! Just please don't hurt him!

Zōri: *Smirks*

Waraji: *Grunts then puts his sword away*

Zori: Looks like your mom pulled through for you kid, lucky

Inari: *Falls to his knees crying*

Waraji: What a waste! I was in the mood to cut something!

Zōri: Give it a rest! You already drew blood today. Let's get her out of here

Waraji: *Grabs her*

Inari: I'm sorry mom! I'm sorry! What could I do?! I'm too weak to protect you! *Crying* I'm scared! I don't wanna die!

Naruto (flashback): Coward!

Inari: Huh?!

Naruto (flashback): Listen to yourself! Winning and complaining like some sorry little victim! You can whimper all day for all I care! You're just a coward!

Kakashi (flashback): My guess is... he just got tired of crying and decided to do something about it. He knows what it means to be strong. Like your father did

Kaiza (flashback): If you care about something protect it! Even if you have to put your life on the line! Protect it with both arms!

More flashbacks

Inari: Can.... can I be that strong too? *Gets up* Father!

*With Tsunami*

Waraji: *Laughs* We're gonna treat you just fine. So don't you worry your pretty little head

Zōri: Come on keep walking! *Tightens the rope*

Tsunami: Argh!

Inari: Stop!

Tsunami: *Gasps*

Waraji: Well well! If it ain't the little tough guy?

Tsunami: Inari!

Waraji: How cute! You came to save your mommy

Inari: You.... better get away from my mom! *Runs towards them full force*

Waraji: Ha! This kids a little short of brains don't you think?

Zōri: Take him down

Tsunami: If you hurt him I swear you'll....!

Zōri: *Knocks her out* Shut up

Tsunami: Inari....

Inari: *Still running*

*Back with Sasuke*

Zabuza (T): So? He can keep up with Haku's speed Huh?

Kakashi: Sakura! Cover Tazuna! And stay close to me! Let Sasuke handle this

Sakura: *Nods*

Haku: We want the bridge builder not you. If you back down I won't have to kill you

Sasuke: Save it!

Haku: You're making a mistake. You won't be able to keep up with my speed! I've gained two keg advantages

Sasuke: Yeah, What are they?

Haku: First, were surrounded by water. Second, I've blocked one of your hands therefore you only have one free hand to defend yourself

Sasuke (T): What?! Using one hand?!

Kakashi (T): Signs with a single hand?! I never seen that before!

Haku: Secret justu, a thousand needles of death

The water around starts to rise!

Zabuza (T): He doesn't want to kill the kid... does he mean that?

Sakura: Sasuke!

Kakashi: *Looks up* !!

Sasuke (T): Remember the training! Focus!

Flashback or whatever

Sasuke (T): Summon all my chakra at once!

Sasuke: !!

*Back with Inari*

Zōri: A substitution justu!

Waraji: The women! She's gone!

Naruto: Sorry I'm a little late

Waraji: Huh?! Who's that?!

Y/n: How rude to assume it's only one of us

Zōri: How is that....?!

Naruto: Anyways, you know heroes usually show up at the last minute

Inari: Naruto it's you!

Y/n: Hey!

Naruto: Who else?

Y/n: Great just ignore me!

Naruto: Sorry Y/n

Y/n: 😐

Naruto: Inari, you did great!

Inari: Huh?

Naruto: When you charged they forgot about your mom for a minute. That gave me the chance to use a cool Jutsu to get her away from them

Y/n: He wouldn't even let me go in until he could do that Jutsu

Naruto: Hehe

Inari: Naruto and Y/n, how did you guys know these samurai guys were coming here?

Naruto: Uh.... in the forest I found a board that had been attacked and the trees were all cut up too. Like somebody had just been practicing with a sword or something. The cuts lead back towards the house. So I followed them here

Inari: That was really smart.... *Looks at Y/n*

Y/n: Oh... I was just coming back from training

Waraji: Blah Blah Blah! It's two of those puny ninja brats Tazuna hired

Zōri: Get them

Waraji: Yeah

They both charge as the 3 of you

Inari: T...there coming!

Naruto: *Smiles*

Y/n: *Sighs* Naruto do you wanna handle them?

Naruto: Yeah

Zori: Ha! Trying something else!

Naruto: *Turns around to face them* I did

Waraji: I wanna him! He's mine!

Waraji and Zōri: Argh!!

Inari: *Stunned* You did it!

Naruto: Yeah! Believe it!

Inari: Huh? Hehe! That was so excellent! Like a real ninja!

Naruto: You twerp! I am a real ninja! That's what I've been telling you!

The two laugh

Y/n: *Sighs* Has Inari forgotten that his mom is fully unconscious and tied up... next to them?

*Back with Sasuke*

Sasuke (T): Summon all my chakra at once.... at direct it to my feet!

Haku: ! He vanished

Sasuke:

Haku: !

Sasuke: Your not as fast as you think. From this point on... you'll be the one defending against my attacks

Haku: Argh!

Zabuza (T): It's not possible! No one's faster than Haku!

Sasuke: Thought you were quicker, Huh? Now what else are you wrong about?

Kakashi: You made a bid mistake insulting these ninja and calling them brats. That's just guaranteed to bring out Sasuke's attitude. He's one of the best young fighters of the hidden leaf village And Sakura here is our sharpest mind

Sakura (T): Cha! Ha! Am I bad or what?!

Kakashi: Also we have our most skilled ninja named the calm assassin Y/n. Then we have the last but certainly not least.....our number one hyperactive knucklehead ninja..... Naruto Uzumaki!

*Back with Naruto*

Naruto: *Sneezes*

Inari: They say when you sneeze it's cause somebody's talking about you somewhere

Naruto: You don't believe that do you? Hey sorry btw sorry about yesterday

Inari: Huh?

Naruto: *Makes a nervous laugh* Calling you a coward was pretty mean I guess. Anyways, it's not true you know

Y/n: *Kicking the thugs in the face*

Naruto: *Pats Inari* Cause you were really brave

Inari: *Starts crying*

Naruto: ?!

Inari: Darn it! I promised myself I wouldn't cry anymore! *Continues crying* Your gonna make fun of me again and call me a baby! But I can't stop!

Naruto: What are you talking about? You're happy, what's wrong with that? Hehehe

Inari: Huh?

Naruto: When you're happy it's okay to cry. Really it is!

Inari: Naruto! *More crying*

Naruto: Hehehehehe

Y/n: *Stops kicking the thugs* Huh? What are they on about?

Naruto: Okay, I can leave you in charge of things now, right?

Inari: Yeah....

Naruto: Good! Then I'm going over to the bridge

Naruto starts running to the bridge

Naruto: It's not easy being a hero. It's tough! Believe it!

Inari: Believe it!

Y/n: Huh? Hey! Naruto! Don't just leave me here!

Naruto: *Stops* Oh yeah right. Sorry Y/n I completely forgot you were here

Y/n: That doesn't sound too Shinobi like to me

Naruto: What!?!?!

Y/n: Huh? *Starts to laugh*

Naruto: What?! What's so funny?!

Y/n: *More laughing*

Naruto: Hey! Stop it! It's creeping me out!

Inari: Hehe

*Back with Sasuke*

Zabuza: *Chuckles* Haku if we keep going like this. We'll be the victims instead of them. Get on with it!

Haku: Right

Sasuke: What's that?

Haku: I'm sorry it's come to this

Sasuke: The air.... so cold

Haku: Secret Justu!...

Zabuza: Ha

Haku: Crystal ice mirrors!

Sasuke: !!! *Nervous*

Kakashi (T): What is that?! How does it work?!

Haku:

Sakura: !

Sasuke: *Scared, Nervous, shocked and Stunned all at the same time* Mirrors!?

Sasuke: But.... How?!

Kakashi: *Grunts* *Runs to try and help Sasuke out*

Zabuza: *Blocks him* If you enter this fight. You fight me! Your boy has no chance against that justu. He's finished!

Haku: Now... We'll begin and I'll show you what speed.... really means

Sasuke: Argh! Argh!

Kakashi: Sasuke!

Sasuke: Argh!!! ARGH!!!!

Sakura: Sasuke!!

Sasuke: Argh! Argh!!

Zabuza: Just try to help him! And I'll kill the other two in a heart beat!

Sasuke: Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh!!!

Sakura: I'm sorry... I... I can't stay with you. Forgive me
