The bridge event(2)

"I believe Zabuza might still be alive." Kakashi said shortly after the masked person took Zabuza away.

"What, how!?" Sakura exclaimed in disbelief.

"While the senbon looked like a fatal blow it was far too much of a coincidence that that person just so happen to show up and land the killing blow so easily. Not to mention they took the entire body rather than just the head which was needed to claim the bounty. In addition the person didn't allow us any time to make certain that Zabuza was truly dead." Kakashi explained seriously.

"If this is true then that means Zabuza has a partner that didn't participate in the attack on the bridge builder. Perhaps on Zabuza's orders since the man seemed so confident in his success." Sasuke said seriously and Kakashi nodded.

"A good deduction that fits the situation perfectly. While it's possible that we are wrong lets act as though we are correct for the next couple days until we reach the destination." Kakashi ordered and all the Genin nodded.

Kakashi summoned his signature finishing move, the lightning cutter and in a split second the fight ended as Haku pushed Zabuza out of the way sacrificing himself to the unstoppable attack and perishing. The mist cleared and Gato appeared with dozens of mercenaries to clean up the tired ninjas and the bridge builder all for the same low price. This didn't mean that the despicable man didn't kick Hakus dead body and insult him and Zabuza confidently. Naruto called Zabuza out on his callus behavior and the man sacrificed himself to behead Gato with a kunai while getting stabbed by the mercenaries in a lethal manner.-

With Gato dead the mercenaries scattered after being attacked by Narutos clones that outnumbered them. Sasuke as it turned out was still alive but was in bad shape as this event ended with the newly finished bridge being named after Naruto. Zabuza and Haku were buried in under the same tree as team seven made their way back to Konoha. The medical supplies Kenzo had Naruto pack turned out to be extremely useful in giving everyone field treatment that stabilized Sasukes condition until they reached Konoha. In a funny way Naruto had also totally forgotten about the enhancement medicine that Kenzo gave him which irritated the young sage to no end after hearing about how the mission went.-

(Normal pov)

As the best iryonin in the village I was called to treat Sasuke due to the seriousness of his injuries. As the "last" Uchiha Sasuke was extremely important to the village and so got the best treatment. I wasn't just bragging when I said I was the best iryonin in the village as my sensei and Shizune were the best in the world and they told me themselves that I was only lacking in experience to match both of them.-

Naturally this information was also publicly known since the people at the hospital had spread it out from me spending time there treating people. I insisted that I treat the entire squad however rather than just Sasuke which was approved and I chuckled at the uncomfortable look Kakashi had as I treated him and Naruto. The Jonin likely hadn't ever expected that he would get put under my care and I made sure to lord it over him just to be petty.
