Naruto: Chakra System

A short silence descended, as Kakashi looked straight at Haku, but didn't speak any word. Unable to hold back, Haku broke the silence, looked at Zabuza, then turned to Kakashi and finally asked, "What do you want? But let go of Zabuza-sama first!"

Haku was also curious how Kakashi had already known that Haku was with Zabuza, but that didn't worry him for now, currently he only wanted to protect Zabuza. As Haku spoke, his eyes sharpened at Kakashi, even though not moving, but ready to attack if Kakashi tried to attack.

Kakashi replied, "I only wanted to have a chat with Zabuza, now that you are also here, let's talk together."

Haku listened to him carefully, but was skeptical, thinking Kakashi might be bluffing, but feeling nothing unusual, he didn't feel that Kakashi was lying.

Zabuza, downed on the ground, demanded, asked with a hesitant smile, "What do you want to speak with me?"

Kakashi said, "I want you two to work for me and also come with me to Konoha." This surprised not only Zabuza and Haku but also others as well.

"Huh? But sensei aren't they enemy? And that too from other village?"

Sakura asked, Naruto and Sasuke also nodded, looking at Kakashi with confused expressions.

Zabuza shouted, "Are you joking with me? Don't you know that I am a rogue ninja from Kirigakure?"

Kakashi calmly said, "I am not joking, plus you two are powerful ninja, and Haku, you are from the Yuki Clan, possess Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, I definitely want you two to work for me. And don't worry about Konoha, that won't be a problem, listen to me clearly and properly first."

Zabuza, dumbfounded, exchanged glances with Haku at a distance, clearly confused. Plus both, hearing Kakashi saying 'work for me,' felt that he wasn't talking about taking them back to Konoha for Leaf Village, rather as his underlings.

Kakashi ignored their confused looks and said, "But first, I want you two to take me with you to Gato's hideout."

As Kakashi said this, he freed Zabuza, who moves to stood up. Haku also walked and stood on his right, still glancing at Kakashi in confusion, whatever Kakashi was saying, had been going bouncer over their heads.

First, he said he wants to take them to Konoha, as his underlings, and now he also wants them to take him to Gato. What's going on in his head?

Tazuna stammered and asked, "U-um, Ninja-sama a-are you really g-going to take G-Gato down?" He felt that if Kakashi killed Gato, alot of problems will be solved for land of waves.

Kakashi turned to Tazuna, which made Tazuna tense, stiffened under Kakashi's gaze, as his red eye sent shivers down his spine.

SLAP!

A hard slap landed on Tazuna's right side of his face, who confused and asked, "W-why?"

Kakashi shrugged, "Nothing, I just suddenly felt irritated upon looking at your face."

He then looked at Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke, and said, "Take Tazuna with you, and guard him until you send him home, I will be going with Zabuza and Haku somewhere, and send a Shadow Clone with you."

Naruto pouted and asked, "Sensei, are you going with this pretty girl, and sending us with this old geezer?"

Upon hearing, Haku blinked, then glanced at Zabuza. Zabuza, who upon hearing Naruto, twitched in annoyance, and corrected him.

"Hey you stupid Brat! Haku isn't a Girl, he is a Boy!"

Hearing this, not only Naruto, but Sasuke, Sakura, and Tazuna all stared at Haku with shocked expressions; they were having a hard time believing that such a cute and pretty face was of a Boy's.

Kakashi chuckled.

"Well, it's understandable, don't be angry Zabuza. Haku's appearance is seriously misleading, If I haven't known about you two, then I might also think Haku is a girl."

Zabuza snorted, instinctively tried to take his Kubikiribōchō out to point at them for intimidation, but realized that Kakashi had confiscated it in his strange technique. Kakashi then made a Hand Sign, created a Shadow Clone of his and sent it with the Genin and Tazuna to send them to Tazuna's place.

Once they were gone, Kakashi turned to Zabuza and Haku.

"Did you understand what I meant when I said I want you two to come with me back to Konoha?"

Zabuza nodded.

"Yes, you want us to be your underlings right?"

Kakashi smiled and said, "Not exactly, though I do want you two to work for me, however not as underlings, but as friends, if you agree to."

Zabuza raised his brow and asked, "Huh, friends, are you sure about that, and does Konoha will even agree to it?"

Kakashi scoffed, "You don't need to worry about Konoha, you don't need to do anything with Konoha. First I want you to tell me where Gato is, If everything goes well with him, then maybe you two didn't even need to come to Konoha."

Zabuza asked, "What do you want from Gato?"

Kakashi smirked under his mask.

"His wealth, obviously! However, I only want cash, his any properties and such... you two can have them, with that you two never have to live like this."

Zabuza and Haku were surprised, exchanged glances with each other, they understood what Kakashi meant, if they could have Gato's wealth, then they didn't have to live life in hiding, a flicker of hope shone in their eyes.

Haku stammered a little and asked, "I-is that really possible? Gato wouldn't agree easily, what do you plan to do?"

"What do you mean? Do you think, we are gonna request him, no right! Alright, let's stop talking now, get moving to hideout of Gato!" Kakashi said.
