Note! Here is the unfinished version. I covered a fight, but soon enough I'll be delivering the rest of it. I'm just too tired. Sorry.

...

Hey. Sorry. Enjoy.

But we are still friends, right?

So, something I forgot to tell last time, I gave up on making Naruto a redhead. It seemed cool, but it would change him too much, and I don't want that. So someday I'll change the first chapter a bit.

...

The bridge looked like a batteflied. Blood, gore and bodies were strew by it's entire lenght. A phantasmagoric mist made seeing the end of the Great Bridge impossible, even to the best eyes. Pieces of building utensils could be found anywhere. And finally the perpetual chill in the air made Sakura think she was having a nightmare. No way could something like that happen in the real world, right? However, deep inside she knew that this wasn't a nightmare. It was reality. Her reality. That today would be the last day of her first mission, and it was either win and go back to brag to her friends or lose, and go back empty-handed.

As Team Seven, Tazuna and Naruto were walking down the bridge, assessing the damage and looking for survivors, four forms standing still, one of them carrying a giant blade. They were Zabuza, Haku and the Demon Brothers of Mist.

"So Kakashi, brat, did you like my handwork? Not a single one of those builders died knowing what was happening" Spoke Zabuza in a deathly serious tone "In our first encounter I made the mistake of underestimating the brat, and letting you set the pace of our fight, Kakashi, but no more games. My reputation is on the line, and I won't let my chance of accomplish my dream slip away!"

Without waiting, as soon as he stopped talking, Zabuza sprang forth, already using hand seals for Suiton: Suiryūdan, using the vast amount of water under the bridge to make a dragon with enough strength to plow throught the bridge, separating the other party. Kakashi leaped forward while uncovering his sharingan, towards Zabuza, while Sasuke went left, in the same direction as Haku ran. Naruto, with Tazuna, Hinata and Sakura went backwards, where the Demon Brothers were, having been commanded to execute the builder.

...

Kakashi and Zabuza

"Katon: Endan!"

A big ball of flames exited Kakashi mouth heading towards Zabuza, that quickly formed hand seals for Suiton: Suijinheki, successfully stopping Kakashi's jutsu and creating even more mist, which Zabuza used elemental manipulation to wrap it around his left fist, running forward and punching at Kakashi, making his fist heavier. Seeing the intent in the eyes of his opponent with the sharingan, Kakashi charged two kunai with lightning chakra, and blocking Zabuza's fist with one of them, while the other he stabbed forward, intending on pierce Zabuza's head.

Quickly leaping over Kakashi, Zabuza was able to avoid certain death, as well as unsheathe Kubikiribocho.

Kakashi threw one of his kunai in Zabuza's direction, aiming for the stomach as soon as he landed, but the nuke-nin dodged the kunai by stabbing his sword on the ground, and creating two water clones. Both clones ran forward, their blades parallel, and aiming to separate Kakashi's body in three, but just before the swords made contact another Kakashi appeared from the floor of the bridge, killing both clones with kunai strikes.

"Suiton: Daibafuku!" shouted Zabuza, and a big wave of water emanated from behind him, directly at both Kakashi's, that were engulfed by the strong stream of water, that only ended in the unfinished side of the bridge.

'And that finishes Hatake Kakashi, the copy ninja' Thought Zabuza "That was a difficult battle, Kakashi, but even so I can't help but feel disappointed. I expected more of such an infamous man. I think now I'll finish off the brat, before he causes more problems."

With his piece said, Zabuza walked towards were he remembered where that sword-wielding brat went to, already started forming hand seals to make the mist thicker. It would be a pleasure to kill that brat using his finest skill, and he would do it with his eyes closed…

…..

Squelch!

…..

Zabuza opened his eyes and could not believe what he was seeing. He was back at the bridge, in front of Kakashi, with his left hand dripping water, Kubikiribocho sheathed at his back and his chest dripping blood from Kakashi's kunai lodged in his heart.

"G-genjustu?" stammered Zabuza "When?"

"When you charged at me, you looked at my sharingan eye. That's when"

Grunting in response, Zabuza gave a chuckle that did not carried any inkling of happiness in it. "I was truly bested" Zabuza said"You are good, Kakashi, but your brats are not. They will fall before Haku, and you are too late to save them. I find peace in the knowledge that Haku will bring balance this way, after all that's the best that we ninja can wish after our deaths, right, Kakashi?" And with his bitter piece said, Zabuza finally died, without ever knowing what would happen in the future.

"I'm sorry, Zabuza, but that isn't something I'll allow to happen to my Genin" Said Kakashi seriously "I'll never fail my comrades again, no matter the cost"

Turning around one last time to Zabuza, Kakashi did one more thing.

"Katon: Endan"

…

I know, Zabuza's death was anticlimactic and fast, but you do not stay alive very much with that wound on your heart. And without seeing Haku's death, Zabuza was a bitter bastard, so…
