Naruto: Chakra System

Kakashi had simply tried to make a giant hand from Earth Chakra manipulation and slammed it at them; he even thought that the Demon Brothers might be able to dodge. However, the result came out to be brutal, which even he didn't expect.

From Kakashi's memories, he had seen quite a few brutal scenarios, especially during ANBU time; however, this one still sent a chill down his spine. But he didn't let this show on his face, and looked back at his Team, and said as normally as he could, hiding that he was also affected by this scene.

"Alright, everyone, let's get moving, and stop looking there."

With that, Kakashi put his hands in his pocket, started moving forward, keeping his good image in his Genin's eyes.

Sakura slowly followed him, tugged his Jōnin flak jacket and asked, "Sensei, can't we just rest a bit?"

Kakashi glanced at her and then at Naruto and Sasuke, and thought, 'If even I am feeling nausea from the scene, these three might be even feeling worse than me, maybe a small rest is good for their mental health.'

He nodded and agreed, and they walked some distance away from the grotesque scene of the Demon Brothers dead bodies.

While resting, Kakashi said to Sakura, "Sakura, you are going to be a proper medical ninja in future, you should make your mental strength good, as you will be seeing these kind of scenes, though I know this one was little too much."

Sakura nodded, understanding what Kakashi meant. She had just started to practice Medical Ninjutsu after theoretical understanding for the last few weeks, and while learning, she had seen many limbs severed, and other brutal patients in the medical department.

After resting for half an hour, they continued their journey to the Land of Waves, and after seeing the normal scenery of trees and birds, all Genin's minds were now okay. They had intentionally tried to forget that scene.

Only Sasuke was having some problem with this, since he had seen that scene with his Two-Tomoe Sharingan activated, and that scene was printed in his mind like a 4K picture, that was now hard to delete. But he still somehow was okay, thinking about other stuff, like his revenge against Itachi, to divert his mind from that.

Tazuna was also quite affected by it, but he had been wisely silent, keeping his mouth shut throughout the journey. Fortunately, they didn't encounter any danger or enemy along the way, and eventually reached the coastline, where they boarded a small boat, that ferried them across the waters, to Land of Waves territory.

As they landed on the Land of Waves, their eyes fell upon the unfinished bridge stretching over the ocean, some distance away from them. And just as they stepped onto the shore, Kakashi said, "Kids, Stay Alert! Enemy can come anytime."

Hearing this, the Genin took formation. Naruto and Sakura once again, taking out their tools, Sasuke activating his Sharingan once again, Two-Tomoe spinning in his red eyes, scanning the surroundings, ahead the group; they didn't take Kakashi's warning lightly.

Even Tazuna was little alert now, started to look around him, though he knew he couldn't do anything if any enemy came. Kakashi also sharpened his gaze, his visible eye scanning the surroundings, already knowing what was coming next.

He put his hand on his forehead protector, which covered his left eye, and thought, 'Zabuza should be making his move soon, Haku probably won't join unless Zabuza is in danger.'

Sasuke's gaze was sharp, and he was ahead of the group. Naruto, seeing him taking the lead, also moved ahead, and thought, 'Ok... I'm not going to let him hog the spotlight.'

Naruto scanned his surroundings, his eyes darting left and right, then he suddenly paused, turned his face to his right. "There!" Without any hesitation, he threw a kunai at the bushes.

Sasuke, Sakura, and Tazuna immediately tensed, looked at the direction where Naruto threw his kunai, thinking there was a real threat. Kakashi, however, was looking at the direction casually; he knew it was obviously nothing.

They all looked at the direction, but nothing happened. Naruto walked and retrieved his kunai, stood in his cool boy pose, ruffling his messy hair and said, "Heh, Just a Rat."

"....." A dead silence descended, while Kakashi chuckled lightly.

Sakura's eyes twitched, and she yelled at Naruto, "Stop trying to act cool! There was nothing there!"

Sasuke slightly narrowed his eyes, scoffed but didn't say anything, while Tazuna also wanted to yell at Naruto, he wanted to shout, "Hey Midget! Stop acting like a moron!" But he controlled himself, he had already seen Kakashi's strength, and didn't want the same demise as the Demon Brothers got.

The group continued to walk forward, with complete alertness, Naruto once again ahead of the group. Naruto again darted his eyes on left and right, and paused, turned his head to the left, and once again threw a kunai without hesitation.

"There!!!" The group froze once again, moving ahead, and saw a small, white rabbit, trembling on the ground, barely surviving Naruto's kunai. They sighed in relief, that it's not enemy.

Thwack!

Sakura immediately punched Naruto, and yelled, "Stop scaring us for nothing!"

Naruto protested, "Hey, at least this time, it wasn't an empty attack."

"It was just a white rabbit!"

Kakashi, however, smirked, and thought, 'So, finally the time, huh! Where are you Zabuza?' Kakashi focused his senses, and noticed several meters ahead, a figure with quite a high volume of Chakra, but less than his own.
