- Now-

Danny, Savannah, Kakashi Sensei and the rest of the group slowly descended the boat as they arrived at their destination.
'' That's as far as I go, good luck.'' said the man as their charge nods.
''Right, Thank you for taking such a risk,'' he said in a meek tone.
''Just be careful.'' said the man as he drove off on his boat, The man turned towards the group as Danny raised an eyebrow.
''Okay, take me to my home, and I mean get me there in one piece.'' he spat as Kakashi sensei nods, ''right,'' he said as he led the group away from the dock.
'The next ninja they send won't be chunin, they'll be jonin, elite ninja with deadly skills.' he thought to himself as he closed his eyes before releasing a defeated sigh.

-A few minutes later-

The group walked slowly and quietly through the forest,
'this whole thing is getting a bit much even for me.' thought Danny as he followed the group, walking by Savannah's side but at a fair distance from everyone as to read their minds when the time felt right.
' I wonder what Landon is thinking... he looks distracted and serious. 'Savannah thought. As she looks at Danny's direction curiously.
And by the look on Naruto's face as he neared Sasuke's side things were going to go wrong.
'Uggh!' he thought, glaring at his rival as he clutched his backpack, not breaking eye contact. 'I'm not letting Sasuke get all the glory this time. Believe it.'
He thought as he grunted before running ahead of the group. Though it was more like a few steps ahead. As he looked from one side to the other, in a fast motion.
'Take your time pea brain,' Danny thought as Naruto cried, ''Over there!'' causing, sensei, the builder, and Sakura to cry out in alarm when the sherilkin went flying.
"..." Savannah stayed quiet as she listening calmly as she doesn't let her guard down.
Naruto kneeled for a solid minute before he stood up announcing. ''It was just a mouse,''. He said a hand to his forehead as if saluting.
''Mouse? Yeah, right!'' yelled Sakura as everyone glared. Sakura suddenly began pointing and yelling. ''Everyone can see through your stupid act, You're so obvious, it's embarrassing!''
Sakura yelled as the group glared at Naruto who smirked, a hand to his forehead clearly saluting, satisfied for a job well done.
Kakashi Sensei hunched over as he glared at the boy, fingers clenching. ''Naruto, those are kunai knives. They're dangerous!'' said sensei clearly annoyed.
Landon turned glaring at the boy with a serious look ''Stop putting everyone on edge, this is already a stressful job and we don't need a snot-nosed kid getting in the way,''
' well at least Naruto is taking this mission seriously that's a start I guess. 'Savannah thought as she looks at Naruto direction next.

he said in a serious tone as Savannah looked in Landon's direction.
Sakura had a look of worry and fear as she looked at Landon. 'Geez, I have never seen him so angry, note to self, be on Landon's good side, I mean it can't be that hard, he's cute. So it has to be easy, I'm sure he already likes me.'
she squealed when suddenly As everyone jumped when the builder burst with anger.
''Yeah, so Stop trying to scare me, you scruffy little dwarf!'' he yelled,
''Hey! is someone hiding over there?'' Naruto asked, to no one in particular as he ignored the builder's angry plea, and Landon's stern warning that even seemed to frighten Sakura.
''No! They're over there!'' Naruto cried as he points in another direction. The group staring at the strange blonde boy as he pointed everywhere he could as he grunts.
Landon raised an ear to something in the distance as he and Kakashi Sensei turned their heads just as Naruto cried, ''Over there!'' as he threw his shuriken into a bush.

"..." Savannah stayed quiet as she is calm collected unfreeze by Naruto care unlike Sakura,
''That's it, Naruto!'' yelled Sakura as she tried to get a grip on the out of hand blonde boy.
''Ah!'' he yelled as everything went black for him for a minute as he held his head, ''Wha? Why'd you do that? Someone really is following us.''
he said still holding his wounded head. ''I mean it!'' he yelled as he held his head looking at Sakura as she continued to yell.
''Yeah, right. Quit lying and acting like a dumb kid!'' she yells hands on her hips as Landon looked in the same direction as sensei, straight ahead.
Ignoring the fight. Landon raised an eyebrow at the sensei as he follows him through the bushes revealing a passed out, rabbit.
Which twitched as it laid by a nearby tree. 'figures,' Danny thought as he stood by sensei's side, shortly followed by Sakura and Naruto as Sakura noticed the bunny she quickly turned towards an approaching Naruto.
"..." Savannah looks at the bunny curiously as she notices it's snow-white color as she walks towards it curiously as she stares at it in confusion.
''Ah, Naruto! Look what you did!'' she yelled pointing her finger at the boy as she yelled some more.

Landon rolling his eyes, 'seriously Advil, Tylenol, anything?' he thought as he watched the two.
"..." Savannah notice Landon rolls his eyes but doesn't ask him a question about it as she sighs having a bad feeling about this her sixth sense kicking in.
Naruto held up his hands in sorrow, ''Ah! A rabbit! Ah!'' he yelled as he ran to its aid as he kneeled in front of the twitching creature.
''Ah! Oh, I'm sorry little rabbit!'' he said as he picked it up and held it against himself. ''I'm sorry!' he repeated.
''All this fuss over a rodent?'' asked the builder, as Sauske, Savannah, Landon, and Sakura looked down at Naruto. Landon turned his head at the sensei, feeling something was off as he began to read his mind once again.

Kakashi Sensei looked at the rabbit curiously, a small sweat dab cascading down his cheek, 'that's a snow rabbit.' he thought. 'But the color. They only have white fur during winter,' he turned his face away.
'When the days are short and there's little sunlight.' he thought as he turned away from the group his back behind them as Danny neared sensei's side.
'it's quiet,' Danny thought, ''too quiet.' he eyed sensei who still seemed lost in thought as he entered his mind.
' my heart is beating fast not good okay I just need to stay calm at least my dad isn't here to be worried about me. 'Savannah thought unknown that Danny is here with her.
''This rabbit was raised indoors away from the light,' Danny read as he noticed the sweat on sensei's face before continuing to read his mind.
'Which could only be for one purpose? A replacement technique.' He thought as Landon seemed more on guard as Naruto played with the rabbit as the others watched,

A rogue ninja watching in the trees. As he slowly made eye contact with sensei only. Though his back was away from him unknown to his position.
Or so he thought. Landon raised an eyebrow, knowing they weren't alone a few minutes prior, hero complex has its perks.
As Kakashi Sensei and Landon looked up towards the trees, as Danny read his mind. 'so they're already here.'' thought sensei.
Naruto clung to the passed out rabbit as he cried, rubbing his face on its fur.

The ninja sighs, 'hm, no wonder the Demon Brother's failed In their mission.' he thought, reaching for his sword, as he examined the target, being sensei.
'it's the copy ninja from the village hidden in the leaves.' he thought as he looked at him from bottom to top. Sensei calm, hands in his pockets.
'Kakashi, with the Sharingan.' he thought as he jumped in for the attack, sensei looked at the group fear in his eyes.
''Look out!'' cried sensei, Landon jumped out of the way as he grabbed Savannah's waist pulling her to a safe distance prior to the attack as he held Savannah close.
"eek!" Savannah shouts as she was taken by surprised by Landon action the fact that he saved her as she stares at him with innocent eyes.
As a spear came flying towards the group as it flew in the builder's direction as it glided through the air as everyone ducked for cover as the spear penetrated the tree.
As Kakashi sensei groaned as he held his chest before glancing towards the tree. 'That must be...' he thought as the group looked at the man on the branch, Naruto smirked.
'Here it is, my chance to shine. Believe it! I'm ready this time.' he thought glaring at Sauske and Landon. 'I'm not going to lose out to Sauske and Landon!' as he showed his clenched teeth.

''Well, well, if it isn't Zabuza Momochi rogue ninja from the Village Hidden in the mist,'' said Kakashi Sensei, hands in his pockets as he looked up at the rogue ninja.
Naruto groaned, 'Rogue ninja? Whatever. Nothing's gonna stop me.' he thought as he readied his stance. 'Ready... Go!' he yelled in his mind as sensei held his arm out in front of him.
" No!'' he said as he looked up at the tree. ''You're in the way. Get back."
Naruto groaned angrily. ''But why?'' he yelled.
''He's not like those other ninja.'' said Kakashi sensei as he looks up at the man in the trees. ''He's in a whole other league.'' said sensei as Landon seemed to study the ninja from top to bottom.
' This is going to get ugly, he can't do it on his own.' thought Landon as Savannah read Danny's mind though Danny knew exactly what thoughts to hide, keeping his life far from his mind.
Kakashi Sensei looked down towards his feet, eyes closed as if he was concentrating. ''If he's our opponent, I'll need this.'' said sensei as he slowly raised his hand towards his face as everyone gasped,
'he never takes that off, though I always wondered why I guess it's time to find out.'thought Danny as sensei grasped the upper half of his mask.

"..." Savannah takes a deep breath as she gets ready in fight pose as she pulls out her sword that she brought from home when Danny forbade her to go.
''This could be treacherous..'' he said as the intruder bowed his head as he still balanced in his thin weapon as it was stuck in the tree,
''Kakashi of the Sharingan Eye. Did I get that right?'' he asked his back facing away from the group.
as Landon looked from sensei to the intruder with a raised eyebrow,
as he noticed Sasuke looking at sensei with a raised eyebrow of his own, though with a knowing look as he gasped a look of confusion on his face.
''But you'll have to hand over the old man,'' he said as sensei glared at the ninja, a hand still grasping his mask as the others stare up at the ninja in the tree as the wind blew leaves through the area.

Naruto looked up at the tree with a surprised and curious look. 'Uhh. sharingan. What is that? ' he thought as Danny read his thoughts turning his focus on Sakura, thoughts next.

'what's he saying? Does he have some special power?' Sakura thought as she looked at the ninja with a raised eyebrow and wide eyes.
'Sharigan..' whispered the intruder as sensei still held his mask, ''Manji formation!'' cried sensei, ''Protect the bridge builder, and stay out of this fight.''
he ordered a serious look on his face, from what you can tell. The group raised an eyebrow in confusion, ''I taught you teamwork, now it's time to use it.''
he said as he began to lift the part of the mask that covered his eye, Naruto and Landon keeping their eye on sensei as he lifted his mask all the way up revealing a , red-eye and a scar that goes straight down his eye. ''I'm ready,'' he said as it shined in the light.
Naruto not looking away, 'Ah! His eye! what is that?' he thought as the intruder gave a look of curiosity.

" ..." Savannah stayed quiet as she listening to them talk with calm expression.
''Well, looks like I get to see the Sharingan in action.'' he turns, facing the group from the tree branch. ''This is an honor,'' he said as he held out his hands.
''Everyone keeps saying, ''Sharingan, Sharingan.'' ''Will someone please tell me what Sharingan is?'' whined Naruto.
as Sauske looked down at his feet, a serious look on his face, as Danny read his mind to get a clear vision of his explanation.
"Sharingan. A rare power that resides in the eyes. The user of this visual justsu, or doujutsu, Can instantly see and comprehend any genjutsu, taijutsu, and ninjutsu, and reflect the attack back on the attacker."
"The Sharingan is a special, rare form of doujutsu. However, there's more to the Sharingan than that. A lot more.'' he concludes as Naruto grunts.
''You got it right, boy. But you only scratched the surface. The Sharigan can analyze an opponent's technique, and then copy it to the smallest detail.''
he said as the random fog began to surround them. Landon turning as he tried to get a clear view.
''As for you, jonin, in the assassination unit of the hidden mist, we had a standing order to destroy you on sight. Your profile was in our bingo book,''
he said as he looks at sensei from bottom to top. ''It called you, ''The man who copied over 1.000 jutsu. Kakashi, the copy ninja.''

he concluded as they glare at each other. ''He's a what?'' thought Danny.
' That eye is Sasuke family clan power so how is that possible Kakashi sensei has it?' Savannah though in confusion and curiously.
''What? Is Kakashi Sensei such a famous ninja?'' thought Sakura as she looked at him with her mouth wide open, Naruto held his fists in glee.
''Wow, that's so cool!'' he cried as Sasuke eyed sensei suspiciously raising an eyebrow. Landon raised an eyebrow at Sasuke's actions.
as he began to read his mind. ''Wait a minute. The Sharingan is a rare trait that only occurs in a few members of The Uchiha Clan. My Clan.'
he thought putting emphasis on My. Sauske looked at sensei with a curious yet suspicious look. As he saw the determination in sensei's eyes.
Danny continued to read Sasuke's mind. 'Could he be?' he thought, only to have them interrupted.

''Enough talking.'' said the threat as Landon grit his teeth, as the ma kneeled on the branch in the tree.
''I need to exterminate the old man, now,'' he said pausing between man and now, a look of fear in the old man's eyes as he grunts Only to have Sakura, Sauske, Naruto Landon and Savannah surround him as they stand guard.
The ninja raises an eyebrow, ''So I'll have to eliminate you first, eh, Kakashi?'' asked the rogue ninja. So be it.'' he said standing tall as he stood on the branch.
Kakashi looked at him with a bored look. As the rogue ninja readied his weapon as Landon and the group looked around,
''He's over there!'' cried Naruto as Sakura had a shocked look on her face, Sauske a minor glare as the bridge builder looked angry.
''Standing on the water!'' cried Sakura. as the ninja balanced on the water with ease.
'He's building up a huge amount of chakra.' thought sensei as it looked like a tornado of water and dirt.

''Ninja art, Hidden mist jutsu!'' he cried and all was silent as the mist cleared.
''He vanished!'' cried Naruto, ''Just like that,'' said Landon.
''Sensei,'' said Sakura in concern as the group was still on alert, though Sauske had hia arms crossed.
''He'll come after me, first.'' said sensei. ''But who is he?'' asked Landon.
''Zabuza Momochi, the ex-leader of the Hidden Mist Assassination Unit. He's a master of the silent killing technique,'' he explained.
''S-Silent?'' asked Naruto as sensei explained. ''As the name suggests, it happens in an instant without sound or warning of any kind."
"it's so fast, you pass from this life without realizing what has happened. The Sharingan cannot fully neutralize it, so don't lower your guard.'' Sensei warns,
' I never was let my guard down away from the start I don't know about the others through.' Savannah thought as she standing still with her guard up on full alert.

Landon looks around the area as Naruto gasped, a look of worry on their faces.
" not surprising... what else is new," Savannah mumbles to herself as she glares at the ninja with a serious expression as she holding her sword.
''Well, only if we fail, we only lose our lives.'' said sensei nonchalantly.
''How can you say that?'' Sakura asked in anger, as the group continued to protect the builder.
As Danny felt the mist come closer, ''The mist is getting thicker and thicker.'' Naruto warned.
''The Land of Waves is surrounded by ocean. The swirling mists are ever-present. '' Suddenly sensei disappeared.
"Sensei!''' cried Sakura, ''Eight, points.'' a voice echoes.
''What's that?'' asked Sakura as she looks up at the trees. ''Larnyx, spine, lungs, liver, jugular, subclavian artery, kidneys, heart,''
he concludes in a whisper as Landon gulped. ''Now, which will be my kill point?'' he asked as everyone looked at each other with fear aside from Landon who glared in his direction.
"..." Savannah walks away from Danny as she stands by the bridge builder and Sakura in case they need protection as she has a calm but yet serious expression.

Kakashi Sensei in the mist meditates quickly before releasing his blue chakra as the group gasped at the sight.
It seemed blue aura surrounded sensei as Sauske looked at him with curiosity,As Landon began to read his mind.
'What an intense thirst for blood. One shallow breath, one tiny movement of the eye, is enough to bring on instant death.' A look of a terrified Sauske emerges.
'If it goes on like this, I'll go insane.' He thought. As Landon continued to read his mind, ''The clash if two jonin intent to kill. I've never felt anything so chilling it's as if my own life is being choked off.'
he moved his hands quickly. 'No, I can't bear it!' he said as he held the shuriken In both hands. 'I'd rather take my own life!'
''Sasuke!'' sensei yelled breaking Sasuke out of his thought as he gasped before looking towards sensei whose back was turned away from him.
Landon looked towards sensei as well. ''Calm down. I'll protect you with my life. All of you.'' he said in a protective tone as Sauske looked at him in shock.
Danny looked at sensei with a look of shock and worry. ''I will not allow my comrades to die.'' he turns his head towards Sasuke and Landon had a smile on his face.
'wow... I wonder if Kakashi sensei actually meant that. ' Savannah thought curiously as she looks focus being aware of her surroundings.
''Trust me,'' he says, as the group gasps at his words. ''I wouldn't be so sure,'' whispered Zabuza as he quickly appeared in the middle of the group surrounding the builder.
Sasuke, Naruto look on in shock. The assassin stands, ''its over.'' he threatens as sensei turns to face him his eye shown proudly without its cover.
Only for the assassin to leap into the air with his weapon heading towards the builder as he yells. Everyone in their battle stance, ready for anything.
Until... Landon gasped at the sight as if he merely blinked. Sensei had jabbed his knife into the assassin. The sounds of splashing liquid echoes through the area.

Landon raised an eyebrow, 'too easy.' he thought as his ears perked at the sound of footsteps as he turned.
". Kakashi sensei he is behind you!' Savannah shouts in a worried tone as she watching everything with a serious expression.
''Sensei behind you!'' yelled Naruto and Landon as Naruto points at the second rogue ninja.
''Huh?'' said sensei as he slowly turned only to see the giant spear sword come his way.
''It was a fake,'' cried Landon, 'Die!'' yelled the assassin as he ran his blade threw sensei or so he thought.
'Water clone, jutsu. It can't be.' he thought as he recalled the fight, ''Even in the mist, He saw through my illusion and copied it in an instant.'
he thought as sensei appeared behind him with the knife, by his neck., ''Don't move.'' said sensei he smirked. ''Now it's over.''

Kakashi Sensei glared at his opponent, as Sauske looked over at sensei and the rogue ninja, ''You're finished.'' said sensei through his mask as he had a look of anger.
''Huh?'' asked Naruto through the barrier as he gulps in fear, ''All right?'' cried Naruto happily.
as Sakura chuckled happily as she clenched her fists.
Landon raised an eyebrow, 'too easy.' he thought just as the rogue ninja began to chuckle demonically.
"..." Savannah became silent again as she watching everything quietly without letting her guard down not even for little bit.
''Finished?'' he asked, as sensei eyed him intensely, ''You really don't get it, do you?'' he said confidently, even with the knife directly at his neck.
''Your technique is nothing but a crass imitation. I'll never be defeated by a mere copycat ninja like you.'' he taunted causing sensei to grunt in anger, as the ninja laughs manically.
''You are full of surprises, though, You'd already copied my Water Clone jutsu, when you made your little speech,'' he said as he recalled the event.
Kakashi Sensei smiled, ''I'll protect you with my life-All of you.'' Sensei glared with utter disdain, ''Very skillfully executed. You made your clone say those words to draw my attention."
"While you hid in the mist, waiting for me to make my move,'' he said as he held his giant cleaver as sensei still had his knife to his neck.
''Something isn't right.'' Landon said softly ''Nice try,'' he said as he quickly appeared behind him as sensei had wide eyes,
''but I'm not that easy to fool,'' he said as sensei hit him in the face with anger only for it to be just water.
''Hey! That one's a clone too!'' yelled Landon as sensei looked over at the rogue ninja just as he swung his weapon, sensei ducking just in time.
"..." Savannah stayed quiet and calm as her eyes go wide in shocked as she watching everything.
Causing the weapon to crash to the floor, as he slowly yet quickly returned forgetting his weapon as he kicked sensei as if he were a football, sensei grunting as he flew threw the air.
''Now!'' said the rogue as he readied his stance, taking his weapon as he ran through the forest. 'Huh? makibishi spikes.' he thought as he skidded to a stop.
'Trying to slow me down. Hmph. Foolish.' he thought as he faced away from them. Only to jump into the water.
''Huh? I can't believe Kakashi Sensei got kicked through the air like that.' Sakura thought with a look of shock on her face.
'He has great physical skill too.'' said Sasuke.
Landon looked at the water with hopeful eyes. Sensei slowly emerged from the water drenched from head to toe, as he looked at his hand.
'This isn't normal water. It's dense...Heavy.' he thought as the rogue ninja appeared behind him, cracking his knuckles.

'Ah, fool.'' he grinned. ''Wait, sensei move!'' Landon cried as he tried to reach sensei in time.
''Water Prison jutsu!'' he yelled as sensei's eyes widened, ''No!'' he cried.
as Landon tried to reach him before it took effect just as it formed around sensei the water dome crashed into Landon as he was thrown back towards the others.
''Escaping into the water- Bad mistake.'' sensei muttered as he looked up. The Ninjas hand was inside the prison as well as he chuckles.
''This prison is made of water, but it's stronger than steel.'' said the rogue ninja. As he glares at Kakashi with an intense look.
''It's hard to fight when you can't move.'' the rogue ninja said In a mysterious tone. ''So much for the great Kakashi. I'll finish you off later,'' he said as he glared at the group.
''But first, your little friends will have to be eliminated.'' he held up his index finger. ''Water Clone Jutsu!'' he yelled as Kakashi looked up from his prison dome.
''Ugh. He's even more skilled than I thought,'' he said as a water-like creature formed from the lake. Naruto gasped as sweat cascades down his face.
Zabuza laughing maniacally. ''You think wearing a headband makes you a ninja. When you've hovered between life and death so many times it doesn't faze you," then you may be called a ninja.'' he said as Landon smirked at ''hovering between life and death'' though he glared at Zabuza as he continued, ''when you've become so deadly, your profile is entered in my bingo book,"

"then you may have earned the title ninja,'' he said as he made a beginning jutsu with his hand, Landon readied his stance for a fight.
''But to call upstarts like you ninja is a joke,'' he said as he disappeared in the fog.
''He disappeared again,'' said Naruto in shock, gasping as he didn't see Zabuza's foot ram him across the forest ground, as he grunted.
as he hit the ground, his headband flying off his head as Zabuza stepped on it, ''Naruto!'' cried Landon as he readied his sword.
''You're just brats,'' he said as he glared at the group. Sauske gasped as Sakura called out, ''Naruto!'' a short time after Landon.

Kakashi grunted in anger as he clutched his fists, before looking up from his ball-shaped prison, ''Listen! Get the bridge builder and run! You can't win this fight!''
He said as Naruto looked up in fear, ''He's using all his power to keep me in this prison. So he can only fight you with his water clone.''
Sensei explained in a worried like tone, ''But the clone can't go far from his real body. If you get away from him, he can't follow. Now run!''
He yelled as the bridge builder began to sweat fearfully. 'Runaway? Not an option,' thought Sasuke as Danny read his mind as he and Sasuke looked towards Kakashi.
'That became unthinkable the moment you got caught.' he thought as Danny continued to read Sasuke's mind.

'No matter how fast we run, or how far we go, he'll track us down... and wipe us out.' he thought as Danny read his mind of all his possible attacking methods.
'In the end, if we're on our own, we're finished.' he thought as he Sasuke saw the fear in Naruto and Sakura's eyes. 'Our only chance of survival is to rescue you.'
Sasuke thought as Danny read his mind. ''We've got to do it!'' said Sasuke as he yelled before heading into battle.
''Eat this!'' cried Naruto as he threw his knife towards the attacker, as the ninja grunts, as sensei watches from his dome-like prison,
''Huh?'' asked sensei as he watched the battle. As the dagger neared his eye he quickly removed his arm from the dome as he turns towards Naruto growling as he makes eye contact.
Everyone gasped, the rogue ninja growled, twirling his weapon as Naruto gasped, ''I'll destroy you!'' yelled the rogue ninja,
A few minutes before Landon appeared before sensei, ''You look like you could use a hand,'' he said as he faced the dome, ''Yes, fine. Hurry we have to help Naruto,'' said Kakashi as Naruto was thrown back again.

The rogue ninja twirling his cleaver like sword.
Landon held his hands in front of sensei's prison as he phases his hands in grabbing his shirt as he pulled with full force, grunting as he pulled.
''Come... on!'' he yelled as he pulled and pulled, ''it's no good Landon, Just go!'' Danny looked sensei straight in the eye, ''No way!''
he cried as his eyes flashed green a brighter green as he phased Kakashi out of the dome, once Landon caught his breath he turned his attention to the rogue ninja.
as he brought out his sword with a slick motion jumping into the air as 'he yelled. Suddenly the sounds of a sword ringing rang through the group.
As Landon blocked the attack of the cleaver, blood dripping from his hand as it still rested on the cleaver, just as Naruto fell into the water.
''Landon!'' Sakura cried out as she saw a figure behind him before shouting joyfully. ''Kakashi sensei!'' she cried happily as she pants.
Naruto quickly came up for air as he tried to catch his breath, once he did he smiled happily to not have died.

''Naruto, that was an excellent plan.'' said sensei as he was in front of the rogue ninja as Landon was behind him.
''Great move, Naruto,'' said Landon as he smiled reassuringly. ''You've really grown, haven't you?'' he asked nonchalantly as Naruto laughs.
'' I knew I couldn't beat him with my shadow clones.'' he said smiling, ''That was just to distract him. While he fought the clones,''
he said as he points to himself, ''I turned into the demon wind shuriken.'' he said as he continued floating in the water. '' He didn't know what to do. Believe it,''
he said as Danny read his mind as Naruto recalled a memory of the battle earlier, as Naruto and his copies were blown back.
''I used one of the clones to transform into the shuriken,'' he said explaining the event, as Landon had front row seats to the past.
As Danny saw that Naruto put the copy in his bag. ''When I threw it to Sasuke, it looked like a real shuriken, he said as Naruto fiddled with his bag.
''Sasuke!'' he yelled as he tossed the shuriken at Sasuke as he yelled before catching it. 'Sauske could tell it was me in a second.'
he thought as memory Sasuke caught the shuriken as he spun around, ''He spun around so no one could see and pulled out his own shuriken.''
he explained, ''Now there were two shuriken. One was real. One was me.'' Naruto explained as Landon smiled, proud of Naruto's fast thinking.
''Demon wind shuriken of shadows,'' said Sasuke as Naruto grunted as he was pushed back. ''I hid in the shadow of the real shuriken. And my target was the real Zabuza.''
Naruto explained as Danny read his mind, As Danny stopped reading his mind. ''Of course, I knew that I couldn't fight Zabuza myself. That wasn't in the game plan.''
Naruto explained with a grin as Landon still held his sword towards Zabuza himself. ''I just wanted to get in there and break up his water prison,"
"which thanks to Landon I actually didn't need to, as you saved Kakashi sensei on your own.'' he said as he looks at Landon.
''Let's defeat him together than. As a team,'' said Landon as he smiled at Naruto who grinned back.
''Though when we did break the prison I didn't think his clone would be wrecked too. Ha.''
''Don't brag you just lucked, out and remember Landon did most of the work,'' said Sasuke as Naruto grumbled. ''The whole thing was just a fluke.'' spat the builder.
''Gee, thanks,'' said Landon as he held onto his hand that dripped blood from contact with the cleaver.
''He can call it a fluke, but their teamwork is flawless.' thought Sakura. 'They knew what to do without even talking about it.'
she thought as she looks at the group. 'Most of the time, they act like they hate each other. And yet, they're a perfect team.'
she thought as she looks at Kakashi, Landon, and Zabuza. Both Landon and sensi holding the shuriken.
''I got distracted and lost my grip on the water prison,'' mumbled Zabuza, as Kakashi and Landon glared at him. ''Don't flatter yourself,''
began Kakashi, ''You weren't distracted,'' added Landon as he clung to Zabuza. ''You were forced to let go.'' Kakashi concluded.
as Zabuza raised an eyebrow, ''Huh.'' he said as Sauske crouched cautiously, ''Hmm.'' he said as Naruto chuckles. ''Your technique worked on me once,''
said Kakashi as Landon held his arm's weight against the blade, blood dripping from his arm as sensei came from the other side,
''But it won't work again,'' he warned. ''So what's it going to be?'' asked Landon as he glared into his eyes, the blood running down his white glove.

Silence, aside from the motion of the water and the occasional breathing Naruto staring at the scene as he was still in the water.
As Sasuke looked at Sakura, ''Sakura, you know what to do.'' said Sasuke as she nods, as she and Sasuke join hands protecting the bridge builder.
since Savannah never left the bridge builder side now she is in middle between Sasuke on her right and Sakura on her left.
Landon still had his arm against the shuriken blade; He grunts angrily at Kakashi and Landon as Kakashi seemed more shocked.
as he glared at him, sensei a more verbal reaction. ''Huh?'' said sensei with wide eyes. ''And you, a mere jonin and you took the fall for your little Sharingan, he said as he continued putting pressure on his arm.
''Trust me I am no mere jonin... sensei begin to say until he was cut off by Landon.
this is over!'' cried Landon as Zabuza's eyes widen, Landon looked at the shuriken as he looks at sensei ''move!'' he yelled as Sensei got out of the way.
''Huh?'' said Zabuza as Danny's eyes glowed blue as he threw the shuriken firing Ice from his eyes as he froze it as it was flying in the air falling to the ground as it shatters.
As Sensei's eyes widen at the scene unfolding in front of them. As Kakashi, Zabuza and Landon jump into the air. Zabuza grunting as he began a jutsu, As he focused it on Kakashi, as he groaned, Naruto gasped, ''The Sharingan.'' said Sasuke as Zabuza landed on the water as he began to chant in Japanese as he began motions with his hands, as he lands on the water.
''What's he doing?!'' Landon asked as he still bled, ''It's a spell to walk on water, stay here. I can handle this.'' said sensei with a smile, as he did the same spell.
A few minutes, later, ''Tori,'' ''Water style. Water dragon jutsu!'' they yelled in unison. As water dragoons formed as they went in between each other in unison.
Before attacking each other, as the water collided causing a wave as Naruto grunts as the group yell out once the wave passes through. as the waves collide,
'Wow, so many hand signs. And he mirrored them all perfectly, instantly.' thought Sauske as he saw the scene in shocked,
Sakura gasped, 'What are they doing? is that a ninjutsu?' she thought as she stood by the bridge builder's side.
Naruto gasped as he came up for air as he gasps for breath.
'He can't do this alone, ' he said but there's no way I can get in there.'' he thought as he stares at the fight before him with a raised eyebrow.
As he took a deep breath, 'Kakashi sensei' he said in his head as he spoke to him telepathically,
'Landon? How did... how are you?' he said in his head as he looked at the genin in shock, 'It doesn't matter, on my count, get, out.'
he spoke telepathically as Kakashi nods. ''One, two three, move!'' he yelled as sensei jumps out of the water, As the group gasped in shock.
at seeing sensei fall from the water as he lands in the body of the lake with a splash. ''Sensei!'' cried Sakura as the group looked at Kakashi as he swam towards the group.
''Where's Landon?'' asked Naruto as he scratched his head, sensei coming up to the shore.
''He's fighting Zabuza,'' he said pulling his headband over his eye, as he looked up towards the swirling water.

''You punk! You're just a genin, what could you possibly do to defeat me? The only one who would ever pose a threat is Kakashi.''
Landon cracked his knuckles as he used his ghost powers to hover in the vortex of water, ''You haven't met me then, Hey, I'm Landon and you are?''
he asked as his hands glow blue as he put his hands to his side releasing his ice powers as he started freezing the water surrounding them, ''What the?'' said Zabuza as he looked at Danny with wide eyes.
''What's that!?'' yelled Naruto as he points to the water that was turning to ice.
Danny kicked Zabuza in the chest full force as he scraped against the edge of the ice wall; Danny gritted his teeth as he growled at Zabuza.
as he punches him clear on the face with a blue aura fist, His eyes turning a complete shade of icy blue as he fired at Zabuza who jumped away as quick as he could,
''How is this possible, using chakra without any incantation?!'' he cried as he screamed angrily before ramming into Danny before he could fire another ray from his eyes.
Danny grunted from the impact as he was rammed into the icy wall, THUMP! echo'd outside the dome as it shook slightly.
''Someone got rammed,'' cried Naruto as he looks at the fight with wide and curious eyes.
''Maybe Landon is getting a beating,'' said Sasuke with crossed arms.
''Remember, a ninja is never out until, it's over, giving up is never an option,'' said Kakashi as the dome shook again.
Danny rammed Zabuza into the icy wall as he kicked him with both feet,
as Zabuza hit the wall only to grab Danny by the ankle a second later as he spun Danny around,
Danny smirked as he turned invisible, ''What?!'' he yelled as Danny teleported away from him as he appeared behind him pointing his feet towards his back.
as he rammed into him, Zabuza stumbled as Danny grabbed him by the arm, ramming him against the ice wall. ''Gah!''' Zabuza roared angrily.
as Danny punched him in the stomach before tossing him over his shoulder with a loud grunt, shortly followed by a loud thud,
Danny smirked as he took that as a defeat as he began to walk away from Zabuza, But just as Danny was about to free himself from the ice dome.
Zabuza roared angrily as swords came flying towards Danny at full speed, Danny gasped, thanks to his high pitched hearing,
Danny quickly used his spectral manipulation ability as he dodged the attack as he glared at Zabuza once forming as a whole again.
As Zabuza grit his teeth before screaming, ''Ahh!, stay still you, bizarre creature!'' he yelled as Danny chuckled,
''What now? you're out of swords,'' said Danny as he smirked kicking Zabuza in the back as he fell to the ground.
Zabuza quickly stood as he came towards Danny with his fists in the air as he roared angrily.
Danny smirked as he focussed his energy as he made 5 copies of himself, ''Here I am,'' said one, ''No, here, No, here! This way,'' he said as he started flying in circles quickly.
Zabuza roared, "I mean it, stay still!" He yelled as he rammed at a random Danny, hoping it was him only to phase through the copy and rammed into the wall as he spun around in a daze.
Zabuza tried to focus on Danny, "were there always 7 of you?" He Asked in a disoriented tone.
"Yup. Sure was, "Danny Said as he flew high above him and flew with his fist straight ahead at 200 mph, towards Zabuza.
as he rammed into him with full force as Danny fell on his Butt once ramming Zabuza Against the wall.
Danny breathed deeply as he tried to catch his breath, 'there's only one option ..' he thought.
Zabuza was losing energy as well and since Danny broke his swords, they were relying on their natural abilities, well, Zabuza was.
" This is it," Danny Said as he breathed deeply. 'No holding back now.' He thought as he fired an ice ray so big it broke through the ice dome.
Before Zabuza fell over the battlefield, the ice surrounded him as he growled angrily before the ice consumed his body aside from his head,
the heaviness of the added weight from the field broke the ice as Zabuza fell to the river,
as Landon followed behind in a swift motion as he dived in, the sound of penetrated waves were heard from the silence.
" he jumped off!" cried Naruto as he points towards the broken dome.
As Danny used all his ghost strength to pull the iced Zabuza towards the land, before changing Zabuza's prison to an ice-like cuff that covered his entire hands.
Landon breathed deeply as he tried to catch his breath, rinsed blood dripping from his hand from the gash earlier in battle.
Naruto grinned, ''So, Cool!'' he cried with clenched fists.
Once it was over Savannah ran towards Landon direction without thinking unknowing that it's actually her father Danny. "Landon!" she shouts in a worried tone.
''It's.'' he began to say with shortness of breath, ''Okay...Everyone, '' he said as he walked a few feet. ''It's''. he repeated struggling with his breath,
as he suddenly collapsed landing onto his knees as he tried to catch his breath, suddenly a bright light emerged as the others held up their hands to blind themselves from the light.
Danny turned human, once the light cleared baby blue eyes could be seen ''okay...'' Landon said softly before he passed out.
" Landon!" Naruto, Sakura both shouts in a worried tone as they ran towards their teammate along with Sasuke and Kakashi sensei following behind.
' that's strange... Landon change in front of us his eyes are light blue how is that possible? It's not like one of my family members following me here.. .' Savannah begins her thought.
' or did they? If it's true... Then it either could be dad, or my brother Dj... Ugh, why am I over thinking this? Maybe it's nothing, is it dad behind the mask? There's no way! Ugh.' Savannah finished her thought.
