"Time to end this," I said as I gripped the handle of the katana. Zabuza looked at me and smirked.

"I see, you inherited the Ookami Eyes," he said as he drew his huge sword. Then in a blink of an eye I appeared in front of him.

"What!" he said shocked. Without hesitation I sliced him clean in half, well his clone at least. I looked at Kakashi and the real Zabuza. He glared at me but then smirked as he made more clones.

"I see your brother taught you well, but lets see you get passed all seven of my clones...Shinagami," he taunted. My glare become colder as I charged at all the clones at once.

"Reika! You can't take all of them on! Are you nuts!" Sakura hollared at me. I simply ignored her and kept my speed. They all attacked me, swinging the large blade, but I was able to read all their moves because of the Ookami Eyes. One by one, I destroyed them all. My team looked at me in awe but I was to busy focusing on Zabuza to notice.

“Now Naruto!” I yelled turning to the blonde haired boy.

“Missed one.” A voice smirked behind me, making my eyes widen. The clone kicked me in my stomach me fly in the air. Crap.

“Reika!” Everyone screamed. I looked at my team, and lightly smirked, then looked at Sasuke and Naruto.

‘Naruto, Sasuke I’m leaving the rest to you’ I thought as I closed my eyes, and hit the icy water. I looked up and stared at the surface as my body sunk to the bottom.

Dammit....

I wish I could swim....

Sasuke’s POV

I stared wide eye at where Reika landed in the water. Then looked back a where the clone Zabuza glaring. Naruto on the other hand was freaking out.

“We have to help her! She can’t swim!” he yelled. I looked him shocked. He decides to mention this now. Dammit.

“I guess that means we have to hurry then,” I stated getting into a stance.

No one’s POV

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!!" Naruto yelled in unison.

Some of our doppelgangers appeared and surrounded Zabuza's clone. He simply grabbed his sword with a bored look. "Oh, the Shadow Clone Jutsu? And you replicated into quite a few."

Each Shadow clone took out a kunai and went on the attack. "Here we go!" They yelled, jumping the fake Zabuza all at once. When they thought they had him, Zabuza's clone swung his sword and slashed practically all of the doppelgangers. They were sent flying backwards. Sasuke saw Naruto taking something from his bag after the attack.

"Sasuke!" Naruto yelled as he threw the shuriken for Sasuke to catch.

Sasuke grabbed it and spun around to get a better aim.

"A shuriken won't work on me." Zabuza's clone warned.

Sasuke ignored him and opened the Shuriken, "Demon Wind Shuriken! Windmill of Shadows!" He performed a high jump while throwing the Windmill Shuriken. The clone waited patiently to block. Tazuna's, Kakashi-sensei's and Zabuza's eyes widened when they saw the shuriken fly right past the clone Zabuza and aimed itself towards the real Zabuza!

"I see." He said. "So you're going after the real one this time. But it's too easy for me!" He grabbed the shuriken with his free hand just in time to see another one coming in his direction. 'Another shuriken was in the shadow of the shuriken?' He asked himself, surprised.'That's not the Shadow Shuriken Technique.'

On the last second, Zabuza jumped, avoiding the shuriken attack.

Sasuke suddenly smirked. The shuriken transformed into a cloud of smoke in mid-air, revealing Naruto with a kunai aimed.

"This is the spot!" He yelled, throwing the kunai aiming for the arm that held Kakashi-sensei prisoner. Unless he wanted to be hit, he would have to take the arm from there. And that was what he did. Zabuza released the water-prison technique, letting Kakashi-sensei out. His eyes were filled with a murderous anger. He swung to large Shuriken in his hand and prepared to throw it at Naruto while he was falling.

Naruto panicked when he knew wouldn't be able to dodge it.

"YOU DAMN KID!" Zabuza yelled.

He was about to throw the shuriken when something stopped him. Blood flew through the air. Kakashi-sensei's hand was under one of the shuriken's blades, preventing it from being thrown. Naruto fell on the water with a happy grin as sensei glared at Zabuza. Naruto lifted his head out of the water.

"Naruto, your plan was impressive." Kakashi-sensei complimented.

Naruto laughed, "I used the Shadow clone Jutsu to hide the fact that I transformed into the Shuriken. I didn't do it to defeat Zabuza. I left one of my replicas and transformed into a Shuriken. Then my replica threw me, now a Shuriken, to Sasuke. Sasuke noticed it was me right after he caught it. Then he took out his own shuriken and used the Shadow Shuriken Technique. I hid in the shadow of the real shuriken and went straight for Zabuza. I knew I couldn't beat Zabuza just by that, of course. But I thought if I could just break the water-prison maybe things would turn around."

Sasuke smirked, "It was just luck."

Tazuna looked pissed when he heard that, "IT WAS JUST LUCK?!"

“Naruto get Reika!” Sasuke screamed. Naruto nodded and dived under.

Reika’s POV

It’s dark. It’s cold. It’s always like this. I floated in a pitch black, not wanting to move an inch. It felt nice, as if I could float there forever. Am I dead? A person appeared next to me making me turn my head and look at him. He had white hair and golden eyes, it kind of reminded me of Haya’s eyes. The man smirked making me blush. He was kind of cute once I got a good look at him. This time he chuckled while crossing his arms over his chest.

“That’s because I am Haya Reika, well my human form at least,” the man chuckled, making my eyes widen. Woah, could he read my mind? The man nodded with a smug look on his face,

“Yes I can.” I stared at him in awe.

“And I am very flattered that you find me attractive.” I blushed, and looked away, puffing my cheeks out and giving a little pout.

“I don’t what you’re talking about.” I mumbled, which made my demon chuckle. Why I was acting childish? I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I was dead?

“What you doing here anyways?” I asked walking around him.

“I was about to ask the same question.” I looked at the smirking man before me, before tilting my head in confusion.

“Hey Haya, am I dead?” Haya shook his head.

“No, at least not yet,” he replied.

“Why not? I thought I drowned.”

“Well for one, your little buddy out there, saved your life. Also my chakra is restoring your lungs as we speak.” I nodded taking this all in.

“It’s funny though Haya,” I said to my demon as I looked at my feet.

“I kind of don’t want to leave,” I said softly. It was true. It was nice here and I liked the feeling being here, how calm it was. The next thing I know, I felt a hand hit the back of my head. I looked up holding my head in pain just to see the hard look my demon was giving me.

“Owww what the hell was that for Haya!” I screamed.

“You know damn well what it was for,” he growled making me look up at him in shock.

“What about avenging your clan!” he shouted.

“Have you forgotten about them? If you die you’ll regret it. The only time I will let you die is once you killed your brother and the contact is ful-filled.” I stared at him wide eyed. I closed my eyes and sighed before looking back at the yellow-eyed man with a new light in my eyes. He was right. I can’t let myself die so easily. I can’t give up!

Hayataro smirked once he saw the determination back in my eyes again.

“Reika! Wake up!” I could hear the muffled voices calling from beyond the darkness.

“It’s time for you to wake up kiddo,” I nodded before looking back at where Haya was standing.

“Haya thank you,” I said smiling. He smirked and nodded before coming up to me and placed his forehead on to mine. “Smile more kid, it looks good on you.” I closed my eyes as I felt his chakra flow into my soul. Soon it felt as my soul was sucked away from my dark place I called paradise.

My eyes fluttered opened just to see a worried Sasuke and Naruto over me. I smiled before turning to the side and coughing and sputtering up water. The two boys let out a relived sigh.

“Hey guys, what I miss?” I asked sitting up, just to be tackled back down by Naruto.

“Reika you’re ok!!” Naruto shouted. I chuckled and patted his head before tearing him off me. I wobbly stood up on my feet and looked at him.

“Did the plan work?” I asked curiously. He nodded, making a sigh of relief slip from my lips.

“Good.” The Uchiha smirked and shook his head.

“You’re an idiot Tsukimaru, you know that,” I looked at him and smirked before looking over to the side just to see a harmless Zabuza leaning against a tree with several kunai sensei struck in his arms and legs.

Kakashi-sensei took out a kunai aiming it for Zabuza's heart.

"This is the end of the line Zabuza... its over" He stated as he got ready.

Then two needles came and stabbed Zabuza in the neck making him fall on his side. I looked around with my Ookami Eyes to find where the needles came from. Once I found the location looked up in a tree and sense a chakra. I looked closer and saw a boy wearing a mask. I starred at the boy for while until the boy dropped down from the tree.

Naruto ran up beside me. "W-WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!"

The boy looked away from me and at Naruto.

"I am a Shinobi Hunter. I was ordered to hunt down Zabuza Momochi, the rouge ninja and kill him. I thank you for your help." The boy said as he got closer to Zabuza. Kakashi walked over towards Zabuza. He bent down to his level and felt for a pulse.

"No pulse," he comfirmed.

"WHAT? YOU WERE ABLE TO BRING ZABUZA DOWN LIKE IT WAS NOTHING! WHAT THE HELL?" Naruto yelled pissed. His yelling painful but tried to ignore it, if that was possible.

"Calm down Naruto as a ninja, your bound to see someone younger then you and stronger then me." Kakashi-sensei said and starred at the masked boy. Naruto stayed quiet but I could tell the fustrastion in his blue eyes.

"Your from the village hidden in the mist correct?" Kakashi asked.

"Yes, I am. My duty to hunt down any traitors from our village. And Zabuza Momochi." He said. Something didn't feel right about that boy though.

Then the boy turned to Zabuza's body and lifted him over his shoulders.

"Now if you will excuse me, I must go and dispose of the body." The boy said, but before he could make a hand sign, I interrupted him

"Hold on a moment. Shouldn't you cut off Zabuza's head so you have proof you killed him? You can do it right now." He was silent for a moment, but then spoke.

"No that's ok. I don't want your eyes to see such a sight."

"Actually I have seen I've seen much worse, and I want to see him dead because he caused me pain." I saw him looking for words.

"But... you won't want your friends to see this would you?" the boy said.

"Um Reika?" A voice called. I glanced from the corner of my eyes to see who called my name. It was Sakura.

"If you don't mind, I don't want to see anything like that." Sakura spoke. I mentally sighed then turned back to the boy.

"Fine, only because she doesn't want to see anything. But why are you protesting so strongly?" I asked raising my brow.

"I really must be going," the boy said a little too quickly. The mask ninja made a couple of hand signs and disappeared into a whirl of leaves.

"Dammit! He got away!" Naruto said clenching his fists.

Sakura came over with her hands on her hips. "Does it really matter? Tazuna's alive and that's all we asked for." I sighed and deactivated my Ookami Eyes. I started to walk towards my team until my body felt as if I have been stabbed with a thousand kunai over and over again. I then fell on my knees and started to cough up black blood. Everyone came to my side asking if I was all right. I just gave them a weak smile and said,

"I guess my body is still kind of weak from the poison." I finally collapsed on the ground. That last thing I remember is seeing Sasuke eyes starring into my weak ones. I could've swore I saw worry but doubt that was it. Next thing I know, darkness consumed my vision..
