Chapter 12: Mission complete. Last ninja's good deed.
Zabuza POV
Before I could move at all, I felt aq claw slashed a cross my face, causing me to grunt out in pain. Sloiwly moving to the right, while then felt multiple Ice needles exploding onto my stomach, sending me flying. I couldn't control anything in my body, feeling senbons implanting onto my arms and legs.
Though, coming to land back on the bridge, I quickly brought my guard up. In time to block this..."Naruto" person's kick and then knelt on the bridge, while quickly grabbing Haku's feet along with Naruto's punch and slam both of them together and spun around quickly and threw them, with so much pain running through both my arms. Thanks to Haku's Ice needle and Naruto's kick to the arm, I got feeling back into my right arm and then threw them out again.
By tossing both Genins towards Kakashi, who appear behind the two and grab them both. Keeping them from doing any more damage to me. I quickly knelt down in pain and coughed badly. 'Dam' I thought to myself. Feeling the powerful blows from the two and seeing how badly injured I was from the previous fight. Didn't help at all, led me to this condition.
"Calm down...Haku, go and see if your mother is okay first...", Kakashi said sadly, watching the girl quickly grimmance and broke free of his hold and ran to her mother...Along with a blond pig-tail girl. Who was checking over Mia's body and sealing up the cut with bandages from her legs. I saw Haku break down and started wailing over her mother...
I looked down even more to the bridge...feeling regret for ever doing this god water dam mission...Then I heard the boy shouting out from Kakashi's hold, growling and seething with rage.
"How could you do that to her!? She was Haku's mother! She ment everything to her! Her only happiness and you took it away from her...Aren't you atleast feel guilty for what you did!" He shouted out and started to lose that malice he had originally, while Kakashi tried his best to get the boy to a calm mind level.
My shoulders were jerking once awhile, feeling those tears to break loose....
"If Mia didn't find Haku! She would've been lost...She had a chance to live a happy life!" As he started explaining things that she did in the leaf village, I came up with imaginations of Haku's happy face along with Mia's.
"Mia did the right thing and gave her a home...A home..." He started tearing up, which caused Kakashi to put Naruto to the ground, keeping a comforting hand on his shoulder. The boy just shaking his head and trying his best to keep control of his emotion.
"A home that any orphan would want...A mother that a orphan would ever wanted...A family and you took it all away...guh...You...Took her preciouses person away and she will never see her again!" He shouted and that hit home. I was now letting the tears loose and looked up slightly, so no one will see them.
Saw the blond girl holding onto Haku. Who was balling from both her mom presumbly death...And Naruto's speech.. I couldn't bare it all and dam...That boy sure knows how to give a speech.
"Everything...Everything that Haku...Or Mia in that matter...Haves been stolen and broken by-"
"DON'T YOU THINK i KNOW THAT?!" I shouted, with my eyes now focusing on the blond. Who shook a bit from that sudden outburst. Then I stood up, best I could and ignoreing the aching muscles that were screaming out to me. Seeing the shock look from both Kakashi and the boy.
I continue to what I was saying. Its time to clear some loose ends. "...Kid, your words cut more than a Kunai does...Even cuts through the most powerful sword. That could ever be forge..." I said honestly, letting the tears freely drop. Gaining attention from almost every on the bridge, minus the bridge builder who I was sappouse to kill and the pink hair ninja. Along with the Uchiha.
"Even now, I only want what is best for Haku...But seeing how the seal failed. I bet she won't forgive any more..." I explain out, giving everything to the boy and his friends that could hear me. Seeing him slouch down a bit and gritting his teeth.
"Naruto...Before Mia got to Haku. Zabuza was the first to find her and took care of her." I heard Kakashi started to explain the story to Naruto and the blond girl, even saw Haku flinching a bit and slowly calming down. Looking at me with full of hate and confusion at the same time.
"He's right boy...That seal I placed on her, was so I could find her and make her lose memory. In case any one would capture her and used her to get infomation about me." I announced, seeing him nodded slowly, figuring he understood some of it.
"But...why attack Mia...", He slowly asked which both Kakashi and I suddenly said. To put a play, while blinking at each other, then shook our heads. Heh, Kakashi used to be Anbu, it wasn't a surprise to hear him agreeing with me and be worry about Mia. Then every ones eyes widen when Kakashi said, that before Mia switch places with Haku. who appeared infront of his Lighten blade. He aim slightly to the left with his attack.
Thus only giving enough to just jolt Mia. I took a glance to Mia and saw that the electricity was still sparking a bit. Indicaiting all Kakashi did, was give her a small electric shock. The scratch on the side was from the very tip of his arm. Cutting through a bit of her skin.
Then looking down, with the tears still flowing. "I would want Haku to be happy in any and giving moment. But now seeing how well she was treated by Mia...I am sorry...I am very sorry", I was losing it. Me apologizing to a kid? A mere genin, who some how broke my tough guy act and made me realize my mistake...Heh...He is only a genin and manage to make a S rank missing nin cry to his revelation. This boy will do great in the future...Then we heard what sounded like tapping of a cane.
"My what a performance you gave off...I was so move, I could cry", The man said, with a sneer on his face. Looking towards the leaf nins and then towards me. "Wow Zabuza, i didn't realize you were in this much of trouble. Oh well...Glad I brought my men along..." He chuckled deeply. Which we saw alot of bandits, thugs, theifs any sorts of strong men. Towering over the midget Gato.
I turned around and faced at them and seeing this many...I smirk. "Kakashi, seems like our fight will have to wait..." I announced, hearing a slight chuckle from the Jonin.
"I believe so. So want some help?" He asked me and shook my head, then yelled out.
"Boy give me your Kunai!", I sensed him tense up a bit and just reach into his kunai pouch. Waiting for me to unbind the bandages around my mouth. With slight surprised from the boy..."Surprise to see a normal human face under these? Heh..." I chuckled, while hearing him saying, 'here' towards me. Throwing the Kunai at my direction and free floating. I quickly caught it into my mouth and stare down at the target I was aiming for.
"Gato....you will be mine!" I shouted, running straight towards the midget. With high kill intent and watch him scramble towards the back.
"What are you waiting for!? Kill him, Kill him!" He shotued. Which the men nodded and got infront of the midget. Once I got close enough, I lept high into the air and landed in the middle of the group. Slashing and cutting each and every signle one of them, while then dashing forward. Cutting any one that got in my way.
Some of them stabbing me with their spears and poles. Which I just return the gesture by, cutting ones stomach and the others chest wide open and ran forward some more. Getting closer to Gato, who was now screaming. Once I stop infront of him, I slash down ward into his chest, then slide it a cross his stomach. Then slash upward into his back and came in front again, slashing down a cross his cheek and then stabbing him in the gut. Sending him flying off the unfinished bridge and hurtle him down into the ocean.
Then I felt more stabs going into my back and the people around me back off, seeing me still standing and started slowly walking back. Towards the leaf ninja. With Kakashi, Haku, Naruto and the blonde girl all starring at me. With the genins wide in fear. While Haku had the look of confusion, worried and slight hate towards me. But that disappear when she saw me with a sad look at her.
Before I collpas, I quickly knelt down and called out to Haku. "Haku....Come here....please..." I coughed out blood, trying to get my words out towards the girl. Seeing her flinch a bit and nodded. Feeling the seal was still active, but very weak. I gave her a heart full smile. Once she got infront of me. "now...turn around...let me do...this one last deed...As a father", I announced, causing Haku to widen her eyes and tears started threatening to break through.
Getting the memories of me helping her, caused her to look away and sat down infront of me, while stretching the shirt color down a bit. With my blood stain hands. I reach up and started undoing the seal. "So...*cough*...is Mia good?" I asked, between each cough. Causing Haku to grunt a bit from holding back her tears. Instead just nodded her head and I chuckle a bit.
"Been good for her?" I asked again and this time. I could hear a sharp in hale. As her strong will was breaking, sensing her holding the tears back. Nodding once more and then broke down, after I got the seal off her and said to her. "Thats good...Be a good girl for her and a good ninja...Tell Mia...I'm sorry for killing her mother and your grandmother...I'm a horrible father...", I let out a short breath, hearing Haku now crying and then I smiled.
"Your not a horrible dad...just a horrible ninja...", She announced, getting a slight chuckle through her sniffingly breath and I just patted her shoulder and fell back wards. Seeing that my vision was up to the sky, I knew my time was coming slowly and felt Haku and every one, running towards me. With them kneeling down with painful looks.
Shifting my eyes towards Haku, I let out a small smile and coughed a bit. "Heh...I remember when you were little...That you always wanted to see snowflakes falling from the sky...And asked me to promise you that we will see it", I announced, seeing Haku just letting the tears go. No reason to hold them back any more. Knowing the truth. I slowly rub her left cheek with affection. To let her know it was okay to cry. "Haku...your mother is fine...Knowing Kakashi...He would've averted any serious injuries...Right?" I asked, letting my hand drop to the bridge and back to my side.
Seeing Kakashi nodding, along with the blond girl. Whispering out that Mia will be alright and up in 5 minutes. I nodded my head at the two and then stared at the boy. Who was grunting and gritting his teeth badly. "Naruto...What is your dream boy...", I asked him with a cruious gaze... Seeing how my vision was slowly becoming dark.
"Its...Its to become Hokage and protect those who are precious to me...", He announced, between each choke and hitch in his breath. I closed my eyes with happiness and whisper out slowly, as my energy was leaving me.
"Thats good....you will...become...a...g...r...e...a...t...hokage...", I said weakly, seeing some of them move a bit. With my last darkening gaze towards haku. I wish her and Mia the best of luck in the future...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kakashi POV
Seeing how Zabuza have stopped talking and became pale. I lower my head slightly. Trying to be strong in front of the kids. Hearing Haku and Ino slightly choking on their own breath. Even Naruto looked away and having hard time controlling his own shoulders from what happen.
Then we heard clearing of throats and we all whip our heads over towards the men. That Gato had hire.
"Well, since the show is over. Also that gato is gone, whos going to pay for us?"
They announced getting ready to strike us. I cursed outloud and regretted from using Lighten blade, since that took almost all of my chakra. Naruto, Ino and Haku are in no better shape to take them on. This was bad for us, but before they could even get close. We heard a whistle and then a arrow landing ten feet in frotn of us.
Whipping around towards the main lands, along with Sakura, Sasuke and Tazuna. We were all surprised to that the villagers all came with weapons or any sort of object to fight back and defend their village. The leader and the person who fired off the arrow, was none other than Inari.
"Hey?! Are we too late!" The boy shouted, which got everyone in a good mood and one look at Zabuza, the genins all nodded and got up fully. With renewl strentgh, with Naruto shouting back.
"No, your just in time Inari! Just like a true hero!" He shouted, while turning towards the cowering men. Crossing his fingers and saying. "But hey, no way I'm being left out! Shadow Clone jutsu!" He shouted, making 10 Naruto clones. Then I heard another voice, with gasps by Haku and Ino.
"Right with ya Naruto. Shadow clone jutsu!" There standing, were 10 Mia clones. Which we figure she ate, the ninja pill. Which Haku gave one to herself and Ino eating her own, while flicking one towards me. I chuckle and join in the fun as well.
"Well, can't leave all them to you guys? Shadow clone Jutsu! Kakashi style!" I shouted, while Ino and Haku. Were smirking and starring at the scare army with their ninjutsu's ready.
"Ahhh! On second thought! We were just leaving!" One of them shouted, which they all coward and started jumping off the bridge one by one, in groups. Everyone from the village all cheered along with us and declare that Gato was defeated and they didn't had to worry any more.
Dispelling my clones, along with Naruto and Mia. I turn around to face my anbu friend. To see her get slightly hug by a crying Haku. With Ino being forced into the hug by Mia, telling the girls through pain grit in her teeth and smiles. That she was okay and that only got knocked out.
I softly lay my hand on Naruto's head. Surprising him a bit, when he looked up at me with bewiddle eyes. I gave him my famous eye smile and said. "Congratulations Naruto and Good job...", I ruffle the boys hair a bit. Causing him to let out a giggle, while smiling even more. When Sakura shouted to Naruto that Sasuke is awake and doing great. With the boy raising a arm and gave a rare thumbs up to Naruto.
I looked down towards Zabuza's body and then up. Seeing snow falling down from the skies, surprising every on the bridge as we all looked up. Then I smiled towards Haku, who now had tears of happiness when I said. "Looks like Zabuza kept his promise Haku..." I announced, with all of us looking back to the sky.
Couple days later...
"Ah wish you guys could stay a bit longer. Going to be quiet around here." Tazuna said to us. Which I explain to him, that we need to head back and let them know that the mission was success. For both my team and Team Miakuno, which brought smiles to everyone. Hearing me saying Mia's team name in respect and honor.
"Well then, I guess this is good bye." Tazuna said raising an arm up for a handshake. Which I happily shook.
"Don't think of it as a good bye. More of a new beginning", I announced which made the man laugh with all his heart and nodded. Letting go, we both looked over to Mia and saw her being hugged by Tsunari. Who was telling her to leave messeages and mails or anything that she could get in touch with. Causing the Half hyuuga blushing and smiling getting bigger and bigger. Then she hug Haku, causing the the girl to started coughing, along with Ino who got trap in the bear hug also. But either way, the two hug back and thank her.
"Naruto...I guess this is it...", Inari said to Naruto.
"Yeah...Guess so...", Naruto reply back. Seeing his shoulders shaking along with Inari.
"You know, its alright if you cry"
"Funny...I was going to say the same to you..."
"No seriously....itss..
"yea...."
They both started saying, getting all emotional over their conversation. Making everyone laugh their heads off at the display. Once that was done and over with, we left the scene and waving to our new friends. Before they got out of our view, we looked forward and made a detour. Towards the mountain top, where Zabuza sword was, with two wooden sticks. Making a cross. As well stood there and clasp our hands together. Praying for his soul to rest and left. With Naruto asking me, if thats what a ninja life was about.
Before I could even get to explain him. Mia stood behind him and lay a hand on the boy's shoulders.
"No Naruto...There's more to be a ninja, then being a simple tool. As long you care for someone or those around you. While knowing they do the same for you? Thats what being a ninja is...We no tools or pawns that can be order around. We are human beings, we can feel, we can cry, we can be happy and we can die. We can even love...If ninja's were to be just tools? Then our life and our ancestors who build our civilasation this way. Would all be for naught" She said to the boy, which made him grin and smiled even bigger.
Decalreing that he would follow his dream and protect those he care for. To make sure, that no one will ever become tools, like Zabuza and will always have free will. Course, we kinda chuckle a bit. When he also said, maybe not everyone. To let everyone know that, even if he were to become Hokage. He probably wouldn't have that much control.
We nodded in agreement and set off for home. Though I groan and lower my head, when Sakura went back into her old ways again.
"So Sasuke? When we get back, do you want to go out and some things?" She said, with a blush on her face. Which Sasuke just hmph walked away, causing the girl to lower her head in defeat.
Boy, the trip back home is going to be long. So I let Mia and her team continue ahead of us, telling them that we will let them have their privacy. Which they nodded and pace up their speed a bit, while waving to us. While Naruto wave back with a small smile. "Heh. Don't worry Naruto, we might see more of Mia's team then you think." I said, smiling at the boy and the team. Though Sasuke reaction wasn't much, Sakura and Naruto smiled and nodded. Surprisingly Sakura made me shock once she said.
"I hope so Sensei! Mia, told me alot about that training exercise one night and making friends with Haku is fun!" She said with serene smile that even matches with Naruto. "Even though she back a punch" Which caused all of us to chuckle, even Sasuke had to smile.
"Its true. Haku's team are good, just like we are." He announced, surprising me and the other two. But just leer at the boy a bit, who blinked at us a bit. "What?"
"Sakura..."
"Yeah Naruto?"
"I think Sasuke has been switch...Kakashi sensei?" He looked towards me, with a grin along with Sakura. Which I eye smiled and brought up a hand, moving a glove.
"Well I always wanted to test my medical skills. Come here Sasuke-kuun. We need to check on you". Which The boy was panicing and trying to voice in his words, while at the same time causing to blink and laugh with us. Which he had no choice, it was a very good joke played by Naruto and Sakura. I'm glad Mia had a chat, with my team. Well mostly Sakura and Naruto together. While I explain things to Sasuke. I believe this team will do great and become good friends in the future.
With Mia
Mia's point of view...
"Mom...Can we...Stop for a bit?" I heard Haku asked quietly, which I looked back at our jumping through tree and branches. Then landed down to the ground level, with me infront of the two. While Ino was behind Haku, looking worried to the girl. I too looked down to her and just got hug once more by her. Shaking a bit and started quivering, which I rest my arms over her and lay my head against her neck. Shooshing her and trying to calm her down, seeing Ino standing there with a kind smile. I glare a bit and move my arms out. "Come here you! Your also part of this team and family", I announced with a smile.
Causing the girl to widen her eyes a bit and then started laughing. "Your right!" She shouted, while joining our hug fest. Causing Haku to giggle out with her behavior and calming her down. Getting her back to a good mood, we continue our way towards the village. Where we will turn in our mission report and our very first A rank mission.
"Haku", I asked slowly, while the girl looked up to me, with her brown eyes. Blinking and slightly puffy from crying alot. "Do you forgive Zabuza? After what he explain to you?" which the reply I got was closed eyes and a smiled. Which Ino and I both smiled and rest our arms over her shoulder and continue our way.
"Team Miakuno, Our first A rank mission. Is finally completed", I announced. Since we are now standing infront of the two large green gates. That lead to Konoha and our home, letting out breath of air and relief we headed off back to our home. I wonder what other adventures, will my team get? I can't wait for our next chapter to be unfold.

Naruto, Ino and Haku are in no better shape to take them on. This was bad for us, but before they could even get close. We heard a whistle and then a arrow landing ten feet in frotn of us.
Whipping around towards the main lands, along with Sakura, Sasuke and Tazuna. We were all surprised to that the villagers all came with weapons or any sort of object to fight back and defend their village. The leader and the person who fired off the arrow, was none other than Inari.
"Hey?! Are we too late!" The boy shouted, which got everyone in a good mood and one look at Zabuza, the genins all nodded and got up fully. With renewl strentgh, with Naruto shouting back.
"No, your just in time Inari! Just like a true hero!" He shouted, while turning towards the cowering men. Crossing his fingers and saying. "But hey, no way I'm being left out! Shadow Clone jutsu!" He shouted, making 10 Naruto clones. Then I heard another voice, with gasps by Haku and Ino.
"Right with ya Naruto. Shadow clone jutsu!" There standing, were 10 Mia clones. Which we figure she ate, the ninja pill. Which Haku gave one to herself and Ino eating her own, while flicking one towards me. I chuckle and join in the fun as well.
"Well, can't leave all them to you guys? Shadow clone Jutsu! Kakashi style!" I shouted, while Ino and Haku. Were smirking and starring at the scare army with their ninjutsu's ready.
"Ahhh! On second thought! We were just leaving!" One of them shouted, which they all coward and started jumping off the bridge one by one, in groups. Everyone from the village all cheered along with us and declare that Gato was defeated and they didn't had to worry any more.
Dispelling my clones, along with Naruto and Mia. I turn around to face my anbu friend. To see her get slightly hug by a crying Haku. With Ino being forced into the hug by Mia, telling the girls through pain grit in her teeth and smiles. That she was okay and that only got knocked out.
I softly lay my hand on Naruto's head. Surprising him a bit, when he looked up at me with bewiddle eyes. I gave him my famous eye smile and said. "Congratulations Naruto and Good job...", I ruffle the boys hair a bit. Causing him to let out a giggle, while smiling even more. When Sakura shouted to Naruto that Sasuke is awake and doing great. With the boy raising a arm and gave a rare thumbs up to Naruto.
I looked down towards Zabuza's body and then up. Seeing snow falling down from the skies, surprising every on the bridge as we all looked up. Then I smiled towards Haku, who now had tears of happiness when I said. "Looks like Zabuza kept his promise Haku..." I announced, with all of us looking back to the sky.
Couple days later...
"Ah wish you guys could stay a bit longer. Going to be quiet around here." Tazuna said to us. Which I explain to him, that we need to head back and let them know that the mission was success. For both my team and Team Miakuno, which brought smiles to everyone. Hearing me saying Mia's team name in respect and honor.
"Well then, I guess this is good bye." Tazuna said raising an arm up for a handshake. Which I happily shook.
"Don't think of it as a good bye. More of a new beginning", I announced which made the man laugh with all his heart and nodded. Letting go, we both looked over to Mia and saw her being hugged by Tsunari. Who was telling her to leave messeages and mails or anything that she could get in touch with. Causing the Half hyuuga blushing and smiling getting bigger and bigger. Then she hug Haku, causing the the girl to started coughing, along with Ino who got trap in the bear hug also. But either way, the two hug back and thank her.
"Naruto...I guess this is it...", Inari said to Naruto.
"Yeah...Guess so...", Naruto reply back. Seeing his shoulders shaking along with Inari.
"You know, its alright if you cry"
"Funny...I was going to say the same to you..."
"No seriously....itss..
"yea...."
They both started saying, getting all emotional over their conversation. Making everyone laugh their heads off at the display. Once that was done and over with, we left the scene and waving to our new friends. Before they got out of our view, we looked forward and made a detour. Towards the mountain top, where Zabuza sword was, with two wooden sticks. Making a cross. As well stood there and clasp our hands together. Praying for his soul to rest and left. With Naruto asking me, if thats what a ninja life was about.
Before I could even get to explain him. Mia stood behind him and lay a hand on the boy's shoulders.
"No Naruto...There's more to be a ninja, then being a simple tool. As long you care for someone or those around you. While knowing they do the same for you? Thats what being a ninja is...We no tools or pawns that can be order around. We are human beings, we can feel, we can cry, we can be happy and we can die. We can even love...If ninja's were to be just tools? Then our life and our ancestors who build our civilasation this way. Would all be for naught" She said to the boy, which made him grin and smiled even bigger.
Decalreing that he would follow his dream and protect those he care for. To make sure, that no one will ever become tools, like Zabuza and will always have free will. Course, we kinda chuckle a bit. When he also said, maybe not everyone. To let everyone know that, even if he were to become Hokage. He probably wouldn't have that much control.
We nodded in agreement and set off for home. Though I groan and lower my head, when Sakura went back into her old ways again.
"So Sasuke? When we get back, do you want to go out and some things?" She said, with a blush on her face. Which Sasuke just hmph walked away, causing the girl to lower her head in defeat.
Boy, the trip back home is going to be long. So I let Mia and her team continue ahead of us, telling them that we will let them have their privacy. Which they nodded and pace up their speed a bit, while waving to us. While Naruto wave back with a small smile. "Heh. Don't worry Naruto, we might see more of Mia's team then you think." I said, smiling at the boy and the team. Though Sasuke reaction wasn't much, Sakura and Naruto smiled and nodded. Surprisingly Sakura made me shock once she said.
"I hope so Sensei! Mia, told me alot about that training exercise one night and making friends with Haku is fun!" She said with serene smile that even matches with Naruto. "Even though she back a punch" Which caused all of us to chuckle, even Sasuke had to smile.
"Its true. Haku's team are good, just like we are." He announced, surprising me and the other two. But just leer at the boy a bit, who blinked at us a bit. "What?"
"Sakura..."
"Yeah Naruto?"
"I think Sasuke has been switch...Kakashi sensei?" He looked towards me, with a grin along with Sakura. Which I eye smiled and brought up a hand, moving a glove.
"Well I always wanted to test my medical skills. Come here Sasuke-kuun. We need to check on you". Which The boy was panicing and trying to voice in his words, while at the same time causing to blink and laugh with us. Which he had no choice, it was a very good joke played by Naruto and Sakura. I'm glad Mia had a chat, with my team. Well mostly Sakura and Naruto together. While I explain things to Sasuke. I believe this team will do great and become good friends in the future.
With Mia
Mia's point of view...
"Mom...Can we...Stop for a bit?" I heard Haku asked quietly, which I looked back at our jumping through tree and branches. Then landed down to the ground level, with me infront of the two. While Ino was behind Haku, looking worried to the girl. I too looked down to her and just got hug once more by her. Shaking a bit and started quivering, which I rest my arms over her and lay my head against her neck. Shooshing her and trying to calm her down, seeing Ino standing there with a kind smile. I glare a bit and move my arms out. "Come here you! Your also part of this team and family", I announced with a smile.
Causing the girl to widen her eyes a bit and then started laughing. "Your right!" She shouted, while joining our hug fest. Causing Haku to giggle out with her behavior and calming her down. Getting her back to a good mood, we continue our way towards the village. Where we will turn in our mission report and our very first A rank mission.
"Haku", I asked slowly, while the girl looked up to me, with her brown eyes. Blinking and slightly puffy from crying alot. "Do you forgive Zabuza? After what he explain to you?" which the reply I got was closed eyes and a smiled. Which Ino and I both smiled and rest our arms over her shoulder and continue our way.
"Team Miakuno, Our first A rank mission. Is finally completed", I announced. Since we are now standing infront of the two large green gates. That lead to Konoha and our home, letting out breath of air and relief we headed off back to our home. I wonder what other adventures, will my team get? I can't wait for our next chapter to be unfold.
