AN: Hello everyone! Sorry that this one is a little late but I forgot to tell you guys that I had a couple of exams last week that I had to study for! But they were the last ones so I'm finished with my course. I have a couple of months to plan and continue this before my next course starts. Yay!

Kakashi woke to a wooden ceiling and a heavy feeling in his chest, "Ah awake are you, are you alright?" A young woman that appeared to be in her late twenties said to Kakashi with her hands on her hips,

"Not yet, but I will be, in about a week or so," Kakashi said from his place on the floor,

"Kakashi sensei, your Sharingan is amazing and everything but the strain is too much, maybe it's not worth it," Sakura said as she sat down on Kakashi's left side,

"Sorry," he groaned out, "why does my chest feel so heavy?" He asked,

"Maybe it's got to do with the exhausted little girl laying on it?" The young woman said amused, Kakashi looked down to see Lucy sleeping on him and his eyes softened slightly,

"Yeah, as soon as we got you here Lucy healed up all of our injuries, she completely overdid it," Sakura said and crossed her arms over her chest,

"That sounds about right," Kakashi said and placed a hand on Lucy's head,

"At least it was to bring down that demon Zabuza, now we can rest easy," Tazuna said,

"I wouldn't be so sure of that," Lucy groaned out as she sat up,

"What do you mean?" Sakura asked concerned, Kakashi also sat up,

"I mean that hunter ninja was suspicious don't you think?" Lucy questioned,

"That's right, that explains the weird feeling I've been getting," Kakashi said as he put a hand on his chin,

"I was wondering about that hunter ninja too," Sakura said, "for some reason, I just can't seem to get my mind off of it,"

"That mask is worn by the most elite and secret ninja of the hidden mist, the shinobi hunters all wear them, their code name is the undertaker squad," Kakashi started,

"It's because they can dispose of corpses as if they never existed, even after a shinobi dies their bodies still hold secrets of their respected villages. You can find a lot out about a village just by obtaining someone's body, for example, any poisons or antidotes that the shinobi consumes could be deciphered," Lucy continued,

"Yes, another example could be that if an enemy ninja were to get their hands on my body, they could extract my Sharingan and use it against the village," Kakashi finished off,

"I still don't understand why this makes that masked kid suspicious," Tazuna said,

"Think about it, Hunter shinobi are meant to dispose of their target on sight but how did that guy dispose of Zabuza?" Lucy questioned,

"How should we know? He took the body with him," Sakura shrugged and Sasuke got a look of realisation in his eyes,

"Exactly, why take a body that is clearly heavier than yourself when all you need as proof is a head?" Lucy continued to say hoping to help Sakura come to the same conclusion,

"There's also the choice of weapon the Hunter-nin used," Kakashi prompted,

"He used throwing needles," Sasuke said,

"Yes, it's most likely that Zabuza is still alive," Kakashi said gravely and everyone got a look of surprise on their face,

"But Kakashi sensei, Lucy checked the body, she said his heart stopped," Sakura yelled,
