I'm Not Alone Anymore

chapter 42

Third pov.

They have been travelling for the whole day and finally decided to stop for the day. It was night time they had their dinner with Small conversations here and there. Akio continued asking Tazuna some questions about the creatures and he told him everything that Tazuna know about it. It seems that these Demonic creatures are slowly spreading in area. And because wave country doesn't have ninjas they don't have any ways to protect themself other than asking for help and Gato is taking advantage of them by using this situation but no matter how much he think about it Akio still don't understand why these Demonic creatures are there in wave country in the first place it should be only seen in the land of fire right. "No matter how I think about it. It still doesn't match up. Wave country is not in the land of fire right then why" Akio asked to himself loudly "hmm but unless someone from outside is bringing them to the country" Kakashi suggested. "That's it. Someone who can get advantage by bringing those things there." "But who?" Tazuna asked "Gato" Akihito said.all three of them looked at him then their face lit up. "That's right good job Hito." Akio praised ruffling his hair. Akihito purred into him. The rest of the night all 4 of them spent by planning on how to approach the situation. That was when Kakashi said that there might be a chance that they may encounter the demon of the mist Momochi Zabuza. Akihito has fallen asleep in between on his brother's lap. While all this was happening with the others. Kushina was still putting up her and her children's tent. The girls were doing their night routine of 'maintaining their beauty'. Menma and Sasuke wandered off to the woods in search of water. After an hour or so both of them returned safely then they all went to bed.
The next morning everyone got up and got ready to resume their journey. After a few hours of walking they finally reached the river.
Then came the boat ride unfortunately 2 couldn't fit in the boat. Everyone quickly took their own seats except Akio and Akihito. There was no room left "why don't we do this Akihito can sit on my lap Akio can sit in Mito's seat and she can sit on Akio's lap" Kushina said at this Mito started blushing hard. Akio and Akihito looked that the shameless woman like a pigeon just pooped on her head "Ya and the boat can flip because of overweight ya no thanks. We can just walk" Akihito said amd without even waiting for their reply they turned and walked towards the water. "How are you going to walk if there is no land to walk on" Sakura asked other genin had the same thought. But both Kushina and Kakashi looked at the two in disbelief. And soon both the blonde's are walking on water the genins stared at them in aw. "I didn't know you guys know chakara control" Kakashi asked "we know many things. Before coming here Hito tought us some tricks to keep up with you guys" Akio replied "then who taught you that Hito-chan" Kushina asked to this Akihito scowled "please don't call me that as for your question it was someone important That's all you need to know for now and before you say anything else no it doesn't have anything to do with you or your lost son" "how did you know that was going to ask about him" "simple. you are really shameless and desperate and you don't hid your intentions well I can see them in your eyes." Before there could continue their conversation "we are here" the boat man said "WOAH ITS HUGE" Menma and Mito screamed but was scolded by the boatman to be quite. They all arrived at the land and said their goodbyes to the boatman and started walking. Menma has been throwing off his kunais in every direction not knowing the danger of it but stopped when he got scolded by Kakashi. But Kushina just kept praising him for whatever useless act that was. Then there was a small ruffle in the Bush nearby and Menma again threw a kunai at the but this time a small white rabbit jumped out. Seeing that it was just a rabbit and nothing more Menma rubbed the back of his neck but when Kakashi took another look at the rabbit he noticed that it was a snow rabbit which was rare in this rare during this period of time so he yelled "DUCK. " Everyone got down in time for a big ass sword to come flying out of nowhere. Then both Kakashi and Kushina sensed a powerful chakara signature and immediately knew whose it was there standing on top of the sword that was now stuck in the tree was a tall bandaged man. He was wearing cow design clothes. "Momochi Zabuza" Kakashi said in a low voice others immediately got up and stood protectively around Tazuna "Kakashi of the sharingan. The copy ninja. Its an honour that you know my name. Oh sorry I didn't see you there the famous red headed hab-" Zabuza was interapted by a loud squeal but this time it was not from Sakura nor was it from Mito they were too scared to even know their surroundings it was from Akihito. When Kakashi and Zabuza looked at the said boy they didn't know what to do. "Um...is that boy ok" asked Zabuza with concern "Yes he was up until now don't know why he is acting like that so suddenly maybe Akio know." Kakashi turned towards the older blonde for answers "don't worry it's nothing serious. It's just his fanboy mode. He have been waiting to meet Zabuza since yesterday night after our discussion." That's right Akihito was squealing and running around Zabuza with big sparkles coming out of his eyes. "Me. Why?" Zabuza asked confused. "Because Kakashi told us last night that you are called the demon of the mist and is also one of the 7 great swordsmen and now boom he is your biggest fan." "Zabuza-san Zabuza-san what is its name. How do you carry such a big sword around. Do you use a 3 dimensional carrier. How did you get the name demon of the mist. Is it because of the sword. How do you make a kill. Is it brutal. Do you have a particular sword style. How special is the sword. Can I touch it. Can you teach me how to use it. Maybe some other sword techniques. How abo-" "alright stop. stop. Do you even know who I am brat. Wait that's a stupid question. Look here kid I am here to kill you all atleast show me some fear. I came here expecting that not some sparkles and praise and definitely not questions." Zabuza was surprised and also red with all the blonde's praises. He knew he was famous but not in a good way no one has ever looked at him or asked for his ways with this much eagerness. And here was the blonde bombarding him with so many questions. When Zabuza was almost sure that he as put some sense into him "now then Kakashi where were we ah yes th-" suddenly Akihito jumped and wrapped himself around Zabuza "AHHHHH WHAT ARE YOU DOING BRAT. I AM THE GREAT DEMON OF THE MIST NOT SOME SWING. GET OFF MEEEE. WHERE IS THIS KIDS GODDAMN PARENTS. TAKE HIM AWAY FROM ME...AHHHH..HAKUUUU..HELP ME" "NOOOOOOOO I WON'T LEAVE UNLESS YOU TELL ME EVERYTHING AND TEACH ME HOW YOU USE THAT SWORD." "DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE ASKING BRAT" "YES THE DEMON OF THE MIST" "THAT'S RIGHT THE DEMON OF THE MIST THAT ONE THAT WILL KILL YOU ANY MINUTE NOW LET GOOOOO" "NOOOOOO I DON'T CARE TEACH ME. TEACH ME...." "OIII KAKASHI HE IS YOUR STUDENT RIGHT GET HIM OFF OF ME NOW" "Oh don't bring me into this that is one stubborn student. I don't know how to do that." Kakashi said. Akio was standing to the side looking towards a particular direction to a tree. It was like he was making eyecontact with someone. Hearing the commotion Akio sighed and said "Just promise him that you will teach him about your sword and he will get off. Also can you tell that one to come out now. I think this fight is already over" "sighs* Haku you can come out now. Alright brat I will teach you now get off." "Really. Promise. No turning back." "Yaya whatever now move" "yay". And with that the confused and astonished team 7 successfully managed to get out a difficult fight before it even started. Zabuza remained sulking that he agreed to Akihito to teach him. The others were still processing what was going on. With time Akio and Akihito managed to make Zabuza and Haku understand and told them about Gato's plans and made them work for them and in return they can come and work for their family when they arrive here if thy like and most importantly they were promised that they will be treated as an equal. Zabuza agreed and all of them went to their own way for the day. "My house is near here you all can stay they for the night. Though I have to say you all have to squeeze in a little." They all nodded and continued walking. To Tazuna's home.
