And I oop-. ( Naruto! Various & Modern! reader ) ( EDITING)

Goodbye Nostalgia

The [h/c] haired teen rubbed their neck and gave their teammates a nervous smile.

A wary look was aimed in [Name]s direction. Haku took his stance, seenbon in hands. He didn't want to kill these genin but he had a job. From mirror to mirror he jumped, throwing the senbon at the trio.

" I can't die here... I have a dream I must fulfill..."

"Becoming a true shinobi is difficult for me. If possible, I don't want to have to kill you. Not want you to have to kill me. But if you come at me... I can destroy my kind heart with a blade and become a true shinobi. This bridge is the place where we fight to connect to our dreams. Me, for my dream. And you for your dreams. Please don't hate me. I want to protect someone precious to me. To work for that person. To fight for that person. To make that person's dreams come true. That's my dream. For that I can become a shinobi, I can kill you."

" Damn!! Hey Sasuke, all we're doing is running around! "

[Name ] jumped behind the two, hands on their back as they began to heal them.

" Be quiet and get up!! I can't watch over you too!! We are going to be hurt, just try to avoid a serious wound or [Name] will have to deal with you again. There must be a limit to his chakra. He is already slow... Here he comes!!" The genin embraced themselves for another series of senbon.

" You little..." Zabuza groaned, hand covering his bleeding nose. He bit back a chuckle, dark eyes meeting those of Sakuras.

With glenched fist, Sakura returned back into a fighting stance, doing her best to remember all the techniques [Name] taught her. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

Sakura flinched, bending back to dodge the swinging blade. She continued to dodge the series of attacks but at long last the tiredness began to come to her. Dodges becoming sloppy and predictable and soon enough she found herself on the ground, starting with fear at the chakra coated fist.

" The bridge's pretty up high" Zabuza cackled "I'm sure the fall won't be a pretty thing, hm. "

The first thing Sakura felt was the air being fully knocked out of her body, second was the feeling of falling.

Sakura dug in her bag, panic setting on her face.

A kunai with cloth like material was thrown high up on a pillar. Sakura grabbed onto her end of the material, stopping herself from the fall. She swung herself, her legs connection to the pillar. Short breaths escaped her mouth as her jade eyes looked around the area. She faced the pillar, eyes closed. Thoughts we're circling around in her mind. Once again digging in her back, the girl popped a few soldier pills hoping to regain her strength.

With a sprint, the girl quickly come to the top, pulling the stuck kunai with a determined smile on her face.

A loud explosion alerted the ninja. Zabuza narrowed his eyes, the feeling of something being thrown here before-

Zabuza swatted the weapon, eyebrows knitting as a kunai with a cloth wrapped around it landed on the ground. He turned around, eyes widening as a shadow figure came crashing down on him.

Sakura opened her eyes, a disappointed sigh escaping her lips as she realised her attack was unsuccessful. Kicking away the piles of wood from the substitution jutsu. Her jade eyes glanced at Zabuza's, a small smirk on her like as she tugged the cloth and wrapped it around her hair.

" Alright! Let's do this!"

The trio stood shocked as the mixed shouts echoed throughout the bridge. They didn't have time to notice another barrage of Haku's needles. [Name] saw the boy from the corner of their eue and without thinking, jumped Infront of the fuo.
