{Tazuna's house}
Adam, Ben and Naruto were eating breakfast waiting for Kakashi to finally wake up. He passed out and was brought to Tazuna's house where they would stay for the time being.
{Thirty minutes later}
Steps could be heard coming from upstairs, it seemed Kakashi had regained some of his strength. When he came downstairs, the rest of team 7 wanted to meet up about the remainder of the mission.
"I think Zabuza is alive" Kakashi stated, startling everyone for different reasons. Naruto since Zabuza looked lifeless, Adam and Ben since they thought that Kakashi wouldn't realize.
"How do you know?" Asked Naruto, wondering how the ninja that was stabbed by a lightning blade, and hit in the neck with a senbon.
"Hunter-nin usually bring only the heads, beheading them on the spot to reduce the risk of clones or traps."
"Okay so what does that mean for the mission?" Asked Adam, he knew the answer to this question but he wanted Naruto to know as well.
"Well, since Zabuza was in critical condition, they will probably wait around three weeks before attacking again. In that time, we will take shifts guarding Tazuna while he builds the bridge. In the meantime, you will be training with me and getting stronger. "
{Timeskip 3 weeks}
After three weeks, Kakashi was at the perfect condition, even better than before he started the mission. While the three genin were training non-stop only taking breaks to eat sleep or relieve themselves. Naruto ended up being able to use three tails of Kurama's chakra, and learning water-walking. Adam ended up finally being able to open the third gate for extended periods of time, and the fourth gate for around a minute. Ben learned how to use 'Kirin', a jutsu created by Sasuke in the future as well as a pseudo lightning armor that the raikages created.
At the other side of the nearly completed bridge, Gato and his men were planning to betray Zabuza and kill Tazuna. Bringing nearly a thousand of his goons and some explosives to blow up the bridge. Little did they know that they would be walking to their deaths, with no chance of success.
"They're here, we need to get to Tazuna!" Yelled Adam, his shouts reverberating throughout the house reaching Naruto's ears reverberating through his brain startling him awake. He ran out the door, reaching the bridge in mere minutes, catching the beginning of the fight.
"So, the copy ninja Kakashi Hatake is willing to use his sharingan at the beginning of the fight. I'm flattered." Said Zabuza with a smirk, seperating the fight into two groups, the fight with Zabuza, and the fight of the masked person using ice and senbon. Adam wanted to prolong the fight with the masked ninja, so that Gato could make his appearance. Having Zabuza in Konoha could be a massive boost in power, so until Gato showed up, he didn't want to kill anybody. Yet during his inner monologue, he was caught in the ninja's ice mirror dome. Countless senbon flew at Adam, and just before he could dodge, Naruto got in the way of the senbon, impaling himself with them. Yet Adam prepared for this and asked Kurama to heal him while he took care of the ice user.
Back in the ice encirclement, Adam was using his wind style to shoot the senbon away from Naruto while he healed. He was stalling, he knew that Gato would soon show up and the fight would stop. Maybe he could use the legendary Talk-no-jutsu to convince Zabuza and Haku to become ninjas of Konoha.
