76 Nuibari/Kubikiribocho

Near water bank...

When the long needle-like Sword was going to Pearce Kakashi from his back Naruto stopped it with his Kunai and send it backward.

"Close one. Pew… " Naruto breathed out in a sigh of relief for his perfect timing.

"There is another one. " Kakashi stopped in his tracks and looked at the new enemy.

"Why did you have to do that sister? I can finish them all by myself. " Zabu shut out angrily while looking at the trees where the long needle-like sword came and went back.

"You were going to play with them and besides I don't like that copycat a bit and from the looks of it, that kid doesn't look weak as well. " a masked shinobi came out from the woods and said without any emotion in her words.

Unlike Zabu she was covering her body very well and there was a white mask on her face to cover it completely only revealing her eyes but there was no village sign on her mask.

"Do you two have any bad blood between each other sensei? " Naruto asked Kakashi in a low voice while looking at the new ninja who had a long needle-like sword in her hand.

"well, I don't know about that but a lot of people hate me but I know her from some personal encounter before and that way-back anyway she is also one of the 7 ninja swordsmen of Kiri like Zabu. She is Zabu's elder sister Nabu from her outfit I can say at least that much. " Kakashi replied while getting serious because now there are 2 Jonin level shinobi they have to deal with although he believes they could fight but there could be more enemies hidden also the other 3.

"So she is the woman on whom Asuma likes besides Kurenai? " Naruto asked.

"That's her, get ready they are going to attack us. " Kakashi asked while tightening his grip on the Kunai.

"Oh, I see could it be that she hates you because you revealed her true identity to Asuma and there is one more thing do you like Zabu over there??? " Naruto asked but this time he didn't get a replay because they didn't have time in a battle.

"Stop taking and get ready to die. " Nabu again throws her sword at Naruto.

As Kakashi had no sword Zabu put back her sword behind her back because of her pride of swordsman and went to fight a normal shinobi style.

On the other side, Naruto used wind style chakra nature on his kunai to make a short chakra sword to fight his opponent.

"Hey lady how did you two become swordsman? because from where I come only a man can become a Swordsman but… " Naruto asked while laughing because he wasn't taking this fight seriously enough.

"Are you looking down on us kid? Don't forget the current Mizukage is a woman as well. Besides, I am not a swordsman but Woman…" Nabu replied angrily and some string went past Naruto to bind him but he avoided all of them and with the help of chakra blade, he was able to cut some of them.

"That also works but What are you getting mad about the lady? I was only asking. " Naruto replied while returning back with a backflip.

While Naruto was fighting with Nabu.

Kakashi was going towards Zabu to attack but he notched that Sasuke was frozen in fear and preparing to commit suicide.

'So, this is how a true shinobi fights. l can't take this pressure. I will either die then this feeling. ' Sasuke thought while tightening his grip of the Kunai.

"Don't be afraid sasuke. I will protect you. " Kakashi turned back and encouraged but.

"Such big words for a copycat. Let's see how you save them. " Zabu suddenly appeared behind Sasuke.

"No, you don't. " Kakashi immediately went to Zabu and with a Kunai attack he attacked her but it was a water clone.

"You think an attack from a copycat will work on me. " When her words were finished she chopped kakashi with her sword in half.

"Surrender you can't win against me. " Kakashi came from behind her and put a Kunai on her neck.

'So, he used a water clone as well but it won't work on me. ' Zabu moved a little a punched Kakashi fly in the water.

"You think such simple tricks will work on me. " Zabu jumped on the water.

"This is not simple water. " Kakashi said while removing his head from the water.

"You are right on that point. Water Prison Jutsu."Kakashi got trapped in a water bubble suddenly.

"You guys can't win just run away leaving me behind.  " Kakashi said to everyone loudly.

"No, I can't run away because I am the reason you are in this spot right now. " Tazuna refused to run away.

"I won't back down. " Sasuke replied and thought 'If I run away now then how will I fight and kill him. '

'This to too much I can't do it. No, I have to do it they are stronger than me. I can't hold them back but she a jonin I can I fight her. '  Sakura remembered how only she needed help to define her enemy and none of her them meats got a heart but she...

"That's good because you will die soon. " Zabu's clone started walking towards them.

"Don't be stupid run away you can't fight her. Naruto you help them escape. " Kakashi calls Naruto who was currently playing with Nabu.

"Look what position you're in thanks to your carelessness. Sensei… " Naruto kicked Nabu flying and came to help his team.

From Naruto's sudden attack Nabu was caught off guard before she could understand what just happened.

"Sasuke... " Naruto said coming back

"Understood… " Sasuke went to attack Zabu directly as a decoy and Naruto landed a punch and the water clone got defeated easily"It was just a clone. "

"Sensei get ready. Water Style: water wave Jutsu." Naruto went near the water and used it to move Zabu and caused her to remove her hand from the water then Kakashi got freed from his prison.

"It's time for round 2. " Kakashi came beside Naruto

"Sorry, Zabu he caught me off guard. " Nabu came back from behind the trees and said.

"It's fine we can defeat them this time. " Zabu replied and put her sword behind her back again.

"why did you put your sword behind? " Naruto

"Simple because you don't have a sword. "  Zabu

"I will fight her. Sharingan. "Kakashi went forward to start round two.

"So you finally got serious. " Naruto then looked at Nabu"Then it leaves you and me again. "

"Don't think you will escape like last time. " Nabu was also preparing to put her sword away.

"You don't have to do that I have a sword of my own. " Naruto then took out a sword of his own.
