The boat ride there was a pain to Sothis. The fog bothered her a lot and the small boat was very cramped. She was stuck between Sasuke and her sister during for most of the ride there. She rested her head on Sasuke's shoulder. Hopefully drifting off to sleep can ease the annoyance of the trip.

The young Uchiha's body became stiff when Sothis's head touch his shoulder. He wasn't sure if he should let her sleep on him or not but ultimately decided to let her do so.

Sakura saw this and huff in jealousy, before she could say or do anything. The younger Goddess gave the bubblegum ninja a glare, raising a finger to her lips. She knew Sothis will throw a fit if she was forced to be awake during this ride.

The pink haired female huffed, Just remaining silent on the whole ride there. Edmund snickered in amusement.

                                                                                                                    ~

Much to everyone's, mainly Sothis's, relief. They made it to dry land safely and quickly. They said their goodbyes to the driver before heading off to the village.

Sothis didn't pay much attention to what the others are saying. She just wants to get this job over with, this place makes her uneasy. It reminds her of that one battle with , Ashe's adoptive father. The poor boy....

"Over there!" Naruto suddenly yelled, throwing a kunai at a bush. Everyone grew very tense before a little white bunny coming out of the bush, looking horrified like it just saw a murder.

"Poor thing..." Sothis said as she went up to pick up the scared bunny. Having it her arms as she pet it gently. Naruto ran up the green haired female and started apologizing to the animal like he actually stabbed it.

Pnemuna paused, her lips became a thin line as she stared at the bunny. It was a snow bunny. It shouldn't be in this area. Something isn't right....

"LOOK OUT!!"

Suddenly, a sword came out of the trees and aiming towards the group. The group got down to the ground for cover and the sword barely missed them.

The sword made it to a tree and embraced itself onto it. In a flash, appeared. His back was faced to the team nut had his head tilted to see them. To Sothis, he somewhat looked like a cow. Maybe because of his arm things.

The air grew tense as the group stood back on their feet. The Bunny Sothis was holding jumped out of her arms and ran off to who knows where. It was clear the man on that weird sword is here for trouble.

"Well, well, if it isn't Zabuza Momochi" Kakashi spoke as he took steps forward to the man, now know as Zabuza, "rouge ninja from the village hidden in the mist"

'Rouge ninja?' Sothis thought as she narrowed her eyes at Zabuza. This confirmed her worries about this turning ugly fast.

Naruto tried running at Zabuza, but Kakashi stopped him by putting a hand in front of him, "you're in the way" the older man didn't even bothering giving Naruto a glance, keeping his gaze on Zabuza, "Get back"

"but why?!" Naruto snapped.

"he's not like those other ninja" Kakashi corrected, "He's on a whole other league" he then reached for his headband, "if he's our opponent. I'll need this"

Zabazua seemed almost impressed, almost curious as he spoke, "Kakashi of the sharingan eye. Did i get that right?" getting no reply from the man in question, he continued, "it's too bad, huh? but you have to hand over the old man"

"Manji formation" Kakashi told team 7 quickly. the form was supposed to be a protective circle around a person, "and stay out of this fight. I taught you teamwork, now it's time to use it"

Kakashi removed his headband up. Revealing in it underneath a red eye with three red swirls, shocking team 7. Especially Sasuke.

"Well, looks like i get to see the sharingan in action" Zabazua said as he fully turned to face the group, you can pretty much hear the smirk in his voice, "this is an honor"

"everyone keeps saying 'sharingan, sharingan'! can someone please tell me what a sharingan is?!" Naruto demanded. Sothis doesn't blame him for acting like that. She barely knows what it is if it wasn't explained to her by her sister.

Sasuke began explaining about the special yet rare doujutsu in question and how it can copy any ability and much more. It was clear it was a bit of a touchy subject for him but now isn't the place to talk about it.

Zabaza grew tired of this small talk, so he quickly moved to the river. Moving his left arm into the air and his right bawled into his mouth, "ninja art: hidden mist jutsu!"

Suddenly, a thick mist surrounded the area. Coving Zabuza like the mist ate him whole. Team 7 immediately went into a defensive position around Tazuna. Three members in the front while the other three from behind.

Seconds feel like minutes. It feels like Zabuza is a pretator messing with it's prey. Sothis hated this type of silence. Some part of her wonder if this is how Byleth's victims must of felt back when he was still a mercenary. But now isn't the time to feel nostalgic or think of the what if's.

"eight points" Zabaza's voice rang around the group, making it hard to pinpoint his location, "larnyx, spine, lungs, liver, jugular, subclavian artery, kidneys, heart. Now, which one will be my kill point?" It feel like Zabuza was trying to scare the group, which Sothis isn't sure if it is working on the younger members.

Just then, Kakashi used his chakra to clear the mist around them. Making it easier to see, "Calm down" the older male said. Nobody has noticed that Sasuke was shaking in fear, "i will protect you with my life. All of you. I will not allow my comrades to die. Trust me"

Before anyone had time to react, Zabuza appeared in between team 7 and Tazuna, "it's over"

Before Zabuza even had the chance at killing Tazuna, Kakashi took this chance to stab the mercanary. Which in reality, was just a water clone. The real one was behind Kakashi and quickly slashed Kakashi into two.

Luckily, That was a water clone as well. The real Kakashi did a uno reverse and appeared behind Zabuza, a dagger behind his neck.

A lot of talking happened to the point Sothis stopped listening after that point. All she can recall is Zabaza soon trapping Kakashi in a water prison. Leaving team 7 to fend for themselves.

Sothis removed herself from her spot in the formation, "sister, you believe it's time to stop holding back?"

Pneuma followed after her sister, popping her knuckles, "I'd say, let's not destroy the whole planet"

"Don't want that to almost happen again..." Sothis rolled her eyes as the very distant memoy.

Pneuma turned her attention to Edmund, who was still standing his spot, "Edmund, protect the children!" earning a nod and a small 'on it' from the dark pink hair boy.

Sakura tried to protest. Where they really going to fight Zabuza by themselves? "you can't just-" she was shutten up by a glare from Pneuma.

The younger goddess spoke, sternly, "watch your language, child or i'll let you get in the crossfire" she then summon her sword  before charging at Zabuza with almost inhuman speeds. Slashing her blade at him, forcing him to dodge and release Kakashi.

"Have faith in us, we know what we're doing" Sothis popped her knuckles before using her magic to summoning her sword , like her sister, charge at Zabuza but this time at a distance. Using the sword like whip.

Kakashi breathed from being released from the jutsu, looking over at the two goddesses, "wait, it's to dangerous" but his words fell onto death ears. He shouldn't be worried, he seen them in action before in training and knows their powerful. Why is he worried?

Sothis and Pneuma were handling Zabuza with ease, much to team 7 (minus Edmund's and Kakashi's) surprise. It forced him into a corner.

Before either of them can finish him off, two senbon needles stabbed him in the neck. It happened so fast, no one saw it coming. Everyone turned to a nearby tree and saw a , not to much older than Naruto himself, standing on one of the branches. He wore a dark green shinobi's clothes and has a white mask with red markings on it. On the forehead has the markings of the village hidden in the mist.

The boy jumed down, bowing his head towards the group, "thank you. I've been tracking Zabuza for a long time, waiting for this chance to finally take him down."

Something about this boy doesn't sit right with Sothis. She can't put her finger on it, but something about him screams he has other motives with Zabuza.

"by your mask, I see that's you're a tracker ninja from the village hidden in the mist" Kakashi took note of the mask on the boy.

This makes Sothis wonder, why not just use a spell? Then she remember ninja don't have magic. Which makes her mentally facepalm.

The boy raises his head, you can pretty much hear the smile in his tone, "impressive. You're well informed,"

Naruto was about to fight the boy before Edmund stopped him, Sakura then went on a whole lesson about tracker ninjas and their roles. Sothis blocked her voice out, she really didn't care.

Not to long later, The boy took Zabuza away. Much to Naruto's disappointment. Kakashi comforted him before fainted from overusing his sharingan.

Pnuema checked on him, sighing in relief, "he is alive.." that relived the rest of the team.

"what the heck was that?!" Naruto yelled, pointing at the sisters, "How did you fight that guy like that?!"

Sothis sighed, "just help us pick up the old man" Edmund and Naruto went to pick up Kakashi, struggling a bit due to how heavy the older man is.

Tazuna began leading the way to his house so the team can rest without worry. Before Sothis can follow, Sasuke grabbed her wrist firmly.

"The dope isn't the only one who wasn't answers" The Uchiha stared into Sothis's eyes, "you better talk"

Sothis sighed, knowing she can't sleep her way out of this way, "I guess I owe you all an explanation"

"We both do" Pneuma spoke as she stood next to Sothis "but let's get to Tazuna's house first and for Kakashi to wake up. Then we will explain everything"

Sothis was not looking forward to this conversation.

Me: and we are done!
