'Where am I?'
The last thing I remembered was... Gato! That son of a bitch is dead... but so am I... is this... heaven?
I looked around the room, it looked like a normal house.
'Did I survive?' I thought, confused.
"Hello there, are you alright?" I heard a youthful voice behind me, so I turned around a bit, to see a small child, probably the age of 5.
"I'm... fine, where am I?" I asked.
The boy looked at me and said "You're at Kame House!" he said it with such pride, that it was almost reminiscent of when Haku used to talk about me...
'Just you wait, Haku... I'll join you soon' I thought.
"Okay, what land is this... Kame House apart of?" I asked.
The kid looked at me confused "Land? What do you mean by land?" he asked.
'Ah good, a country bumpkin...' I thought, annoyed.
"Do you at least know about the five great shinobi countries?" I asked.
"The what?" He asked back.
"Fire, Earth, Lightning, Water and Wind! You at least know that right!?" I asked, getting increasingly annoyed.
"Nope, my brother might know something though, Tomant! Get over here!" The boy called out for his brother.
"I'm coming Lettu, did he wake up?" Another youthful boy walked up to me.
'Damn it, another brat' I thought.
"Hello there, Zabuza Momochi" The brat Tomant said.
'So, he knows who I am... good' I thought.
"So, do you know where you are?" He asked.
"...No, I don't... can you tell me?" I asked back.
"To simply put it, you're in another world" He said.
"What do you mean another world? This has to be a joke" I replied, annoyed.
"Nope, this is another world... somewhat similar to yours, since we also have humans, but we don't have Chakra, we use Ki instead... so, that makes you the only Chakra user on the planet. But, before you have any ideas, you should know that my brother and I are at least as strong as you. So, don't try anything funny" The brat threatened.
"Hahaha, yeah right brat. If there wasn't Chakra here, I wouldn't be able to use it, would I? And since I'm able to use it, you're lying. Now, "summoner" shut up and get me something to eat" I said, slightly annoyed, as I reached for my sword to threaten him.
"Oh, you wouldn't want to threaten me, Zabuza of the mist. I can bring Haku back" The brat said.
"Wha- how do you know about Haku!?" I asked, annoyed.
"It matters not, but what does matter is, I can bring him back, but you're going to have to do something for me..." He said with a sly smile.
"What?" I asked.
"Be my loyal soldier" He said, his smile turning into a grin.
"You know what kid, if you CAN bring Haku back, I'll become your soldier... but, only if you can actually do it" I said.
"Good, I just need a couple of weeks to gather the dragon balls" He said with a smile.
"The dragon what?" I asked.
"Oh, right you're not from here, the dragon balls, once you collect all seven of then allow you to grant a wish... within limitations, of course" He said.
"What... sort of limitations?" I asked.
"You cannot wish for someone more powerful than Shenron to be killed since it's quite obviously out of its power," He said.
"Wait, Shenron?" I asked.
"He's the dragon that grants the wishes after you collect all seven dragon balls" Tomant answered, almost instantly.
'A dragon that comes out of some balls to grant wishes? That sounds utterly idiotic... but, if it's true. Then, I can just wait here for him to come back with them and wish Haku back, then no matter what happens, at least we'll be by each other's sides' I thought.
"Alright then, I'll be back in a few days, I already know the locations of all of them, so it's just going to take a few days to get to them, goodbye Mr. Zabuza" The brat Tomant said, as he... flew off!
'How'd he manage flight!?... doesn't matter, I have to rest up first and ask questions later...' I thought, before I fell back to sleep.

'Time to get the other six' I thought, as I flew off, determined to get Zabuza as a permanent summon.
