I stood in front of Tazuna with my kunai ready for anything.

"Wow!" Naruto yelled in amazed.

Suddenly Zabuza started to chuckle, surprised me. "Is this the end? You don't understand. You can't defeat me with just your indiscriminate imitation. I can a sure you that."

I didn't know what to do but just listen to him talking. "But you have a pretty good student." Zabuza said looking at me as Sasuke stood next to me glare at Zabuza. "She was able to see through my water clone technique and block my sword." When suddenly another Zabuza appeared behind Kakashi-sensei as he quickly stab that one in front him which turn out to be another water.

"THAT ONE'S A FAKE, TOO." Naruto yelled out of shock.

Kakashi-sensei quickly duck as Zabuza had swing his blade at him but then was kick toward the water causing me to gasp.

"How idiotic." I heard Zabuza murmured as jump backward to the water.

What is he planning? I though as glance at Zabuza, watching him carefully. "His hand to hand combat skill is superb, too." I heard Sasuke say.

I saw Kakashi-sensei resurface the water causing my eyes to widened as I realize what Zabuza was going to do. "SENSEI! QUICKLY GET OUT OF THE WATER NOW!" I yelled out trying to warn him but it was too late.

As Zabuza was behind him, making hand seals. "Idiots. Water style: water prison jutsu." He said as he trapped Kakashi-sensei inside a large boodle of water that was attach to his left hand.

"KAKASHI-SENSEI!" I shout out, about to run to help him but Sasuke held me back.

"You fell for it. This is a special prison that you can't escape from. You give me a hard time when you're moving." Zabuza said.

"Now four of you have forehead protectors on as if you think you're ninja. But ninja refers to someone who has gone through numerous life and yourself a ninja when you appear in my bingo book. You four aren't ninja." Zabuza said disappearing into the mist.

I gasp as as Naruto was suddenly kick. "NARUTO!" I yelled out to him before turning to Zabuza who step on Naruto's headband. "You're just kids." I glare at him darken.

"EVERYONE!" Kakashi-sensei yelled out to us causing us to turn to him. "GET TAZUNA AND RUN! YOU CAN'T WIN AGAINST HIM! HE CAN'T MOVE AS LONG AS HE HAS ME TRAPPED ME IN THIS WATER PRISON JUTSU. HE ALSO WON'T BE ABLE TO USE HIS WATER CLONE ONCE YOU GET AWAY FROM! RUN FOR IT NOW!" I look at Kakashi-sensei in disbelief. My grip tightened as I was tremble slightly.

"We have to do it!" I gasp as I saw Sasuke run toward Zabuza's clone, throwing shurikens at him which he easily block with his sword. I watch as Sasuke jump up in did air before launching himself with a kunai in hand toward Zabuza. "THIS IS THE SPOT!" He roared as he trying to stabbed Zabuza but gasp as he grab a hold of Sasuke neck before throwing him away.

I was shaking in fear at how powerful Zabuza is. What are we going to do? We can't win against someone like him. I shake my head getting those out of it. No! I'll fight with everything I get but... I glance at Naruto, who in fear that was all over his face. My eyes suddenly when down to his badged hand. I need to remind him of his vow.

I quickly ran toward toward Zabuza, ignoring everyone yelled.

Just as Zabuza swing his sword at me, I disappeared causing him to hit air but block my kick when I appeared behind him but the impact from the kick which had chakra added into, had sent him sliding off the head headband.

I quickly grab Naruto's headband and gasp as Zabuza appeared in front of me. "You're really good for a little girl but..." I gasp as Zabuza give me a powerful kick to the stomach, sending me flying as I hit the ground and slide harshly in front of Naruto.

"Nikki! Are you okay." Naruto asked kneeling next to me. I groan in pain as I slowly get up but I cough out some blood.

"Naruto, have you forgetting." I said looking at him as he look at me confused. "Have you forgetting your vow, you said you were going to be Hokage but would a Hokage ran away? No he wouldn't. We may be kids, that is true but we are also ninja!" I told him as reality hit him.

I smile as I saw the determination shining in his eyes as I hold out his headband. "Let's show him what we get!" I encourage him which he smile and took his headband before standing up.

"Hey...the no-brow there... Put this in your bingo book... The man who will become the Hokage of the hidden village of konoha one day..." Naruto said as he tied his headband on. "The konoha-style ninja... Naruto Uzumaki!" I smile at him as I wipe off the blood with the back of my hand before standing up.

"Sasuke, Nikki, lend me your ears for a second." Naruto called out to us.

"What do you want?" Sasuke asked him as he stand next to him with me as well.

"I have a plan." I smile at Naruto.

"I can't believe you want to work as a team." Sasuke said smirk.

"What the plan, Naruto?" I asked taking out a new kunai and took a fighting stand.

"Let's go wild now!" Naruto said to us with confident in his expression.

Zabuza start to chuckle again. "You seem to be quiet confident, but do you even have a chance for victory?" He said mocking us.

"WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING?! I TOLD YOU TO RUN AWAY! THE OUTCOME OF THIS BATTLE WAS DECIDED WHEN I GOT CAUGHT! RUN! OUR MISSION IS TO PROTECT TAZUNA. DID YOU FORGET THAT?!" Kakashi-sensei yelled at us as I gritted my teeth together.

"Old man..." Naruto said looking at Tazuna, who hat was covering his eyes as he was looking down.

"Don't worry, I caused all of this in the first place. I won't say that I want to survive no matter what. Sorry, everyone. Fight as much as you want." Tazuna said grinning as he looked at us.

"Hn. That's how it is." Sasuke said.

"We can do it guy! Together!" I said encourage, confident.

"Are you ready?" Naruto asked grinned at us, all fired up.

Zabuza suddenly laugh like had gone mad. "You sure don't learn, do you? Still pretending to be ninja? When I was your age, my hands were already soaked in blood." I gasp as I look at him in shocked.

"The demon Zabuza." Kakashi-sensei exclaimed.

"Ooh... It looks like you're heard of me." Zabuza said looking at us intensely.

"A long time ago, the hidden village of the mist was known as the village of the blood mist... In that village, there was an obstacle that existed to become a ninja." Kakashi-sensei explain to us causing my eyes to widened as I recall reading about it.

"So you also know about the final test there and by the look of the girl's reaction, she knows about it too." Zabuza said looking at my terrified face.

"The final test?" Naruto question causing Zabuza to chuckle in amuse. "Hey, what is the final test?" Naruto asked again impatient.

"Students killing each other who have eaten from the same pot are separated into groups of two and forced to fight each other... Until one of them is killed." I answered Naruto as I chock back a sob as I had my eyes close, holding back my tears.

"That's awful..." Sakura exclaimed as I took a deep breath, calming down before opening my eyes and saw Sasuke looking at me concern as he gently put his hand on my cheek and gently put his hand on my cheek and gently rubbed the escape tear off with his thumb. I smile at him gracefully as I nodded a thanks when he slowly remove his hand away as did other haven't notice.

"Ten years ago, the hidden village of mist to go through a reformation. Because in the previous year, a monster appeared that finally decided it." Kakashi-sensei told us.

"A reformation...?" Sakura question confused but no one answered her. "A reformation...? What did that monster do?" She asked.

"As small boy who had not even gained the right to become a ninja... Killed more than 100 of the candidates that year, and killed all without hesitation." My eyes widened in shock at such a horrible event to happen.

"That was fun." Zabuza said then I gasp as in a blink of an eye, he suddenly hit Sasuke with elbow causing him to hit the ground. Then Zabuza appeared next to Sasuke and slam his elbow at Sasuke's stomach causing him cough out blood.

"SASUKE!!" I yelled as I ran toward Zabuza, throwing my kunai at him but he block it with his sword but I throw a spinning kick to his head.

I gasp as he caught my leg, making me dangle in his hold.

"NIKKI!" I heard Naruto shout out.

I try to kick Zabuza but I couldn't reach him since he held me in arm length.

Nik...ki..." Sasuke called out weakly as he try to reach me.

"Die." Zabuza said as he swing his sword toward me causing me to close my eye tightly.

"Damn it! Shadow clone jutsu." I snap my eyes open as Zabuza had throwned me but Sasuke was able to catch me before I hit the ground despite being in pain.

"You okay, Nikki." Sasuke asked me concern as I just nodded in response and watch.

"Ooo... The shadow clone jutsu? And you replicated into quite a few." Zabuza said while acting surprise.

Naruto and his clones pull out a kunai into their hands. "Here I come!" They all say together before attacking Zabuza into a dog piled however Zabuza easily throw them off him immediately and destroying them, one by one each of them disappeared. But while Naruto flying backward as he search inside his bag before pulling something out. "SASUKE!" He shout out as he throw something toward Sasuke.

Sasuke gasp and easily catch it before spinning a couple of time on the ground. "Demon wind shuriken, the shadow windmill." Sasuke said holding in front of him as the blades came out, shadowing half of his face.

"A shuriken won't work on me." Zabuza said but Sasuke ignored it and jump up into did air, spinning until he was upside down before throwing the demon wind shuriken.

After throwing it Sasuke appeared next to me as I had stand up, watching as Sasuke smirk while the shuriken fly pass the water clone but smile when I saw it was actually heading for the real Zabuza buy he catch it causing me to gasp but then a grinned appeared on my lips as a second came towards him also. Zabuza was surprise as while but jump over it so it fly pass him but then as it was behind him it suddenly...

*Poof*

The second demon wind shuriken was revealing Naruto. "THIS IS THE SPOT!" Naruto yelled as he throwed a kunai at Zabuza from behind him.
