She is my newest fan, and she is #40!!! Thanks for fanning me, all of you!!!!
So yeah... I officially HATE my computer. It won't let me on the interweb most of the time, and when it does, it for only very short moments.
So don't come after me with torches and pitchfork, go after the computer. Please.
Oh and I don't own any of the original Naruto characters, just the ones I made up.

Chapter 15-
A little Moon lit Chit-Chat ^.- (winking face.)
---------------------------------
----- 0.\ Kakashi's POV 0.\ --------
"Are you all right sensei?" Tazuna's daughter Tsunmi asked me. Right now we're at their house with me lying in bed.
"Yeah... I just can't really move for a week or so." I signed. 'This is going to be a boring week. I can't even read my book like this.'
"Sensei, even though the sharingan is incredible, if it puts that much stress on your body, I think you should think before using it again." Sakura said, full of worry.
"Well, we defeated that strong ninja this time. We should be safe for a while!" Tazuna exclaimed, wiping his forehead with a towel. I could tell he was trying to make it all blow over.
"By the way, who was the masked kid? The one that help Harmony." Sakura asked.
"That's the mask worn by the Hidden Mist special hunter-nin team. They are also known as body erasers. Their duty is to completely dispose of the body without a trace. A ninja's body can reveal important information. Say if somebody killed me, they would take my sharingan and analyze it, learning all the secrets it holds." I paused to take a breath. 'Why must everything be explained to genins?' I continued on with what I was saying
"So, by killing and disposing of missing-nin who had abandoned their village, the hunter-nin protects the information from getting out. They are specialists who guard their village's secrets. No sound. No smell... That is a ninja's end."
"So that Zabuza has been chopped up and disposed of? Scary!" Sakura said, easily being scared by the image in her head. I decided to lie my head back down on the pillow and rest for a little. I mean, I just fought Zabuza, and I just had to give that long-winded speech on the ways of a ninja, who wouldn't be tried. A first I just closed my eyes and pretended to sleep. My thoughts went straight to the only other wounded member on the team. 'I wonder if Harmony is alright. She but up quite a fight against Zabuza, and received many wounds. Tsunmi told me when I first woke up that when we first arrived that Tazuna was caring her, and Sasuke and Naruto were caring me. She was still a sleep and had many cuts, but one more major then any, was her back. The place that Zabuza her with his sword to break her vibrating images jutsu. She must be in a great deal of pain, and because of that wound, she will most likely be asleep for two more days." I let out a deep breath. 'She is must be terrified right now in her sleep. Knowing her, she'll will herself awake in the next day, max. She can't stand being asleep, not with the nightmares she gets. They can be so terrifying that if she wakes up from one, she falls unconscious right after because of the fear and exhaustion she experiences. Even though she must be going through hell, I have to thank that hunter-nin for helping her. If he didn't, I fear she might have died. Now that I think about it, something was off about that ninja...' I mulled over that thought as I drifted into a real sleep.

------FF------- (Kakashi need a nap...)
I jolted awake with my mind in turmoil.
"Kyaa!" I turned my head and say Sakura and Naruto lying on the floor. 'Huh, I must have scared them somehow.'
"Oh, sensei, you’re awake." Tsunmi said. I heard Sakura whisper furiously at Naruto, but I paid no mind to it.
"Y-Yeah." I replied quietly. ‘What is this, Zabuza is dead... It feels like I missed something, something important. Could I have missed something, something important?'
"What's wrong sensei?" asked Naruto.
"Huh? Well..." I paused to gather all my thoughts. “Body erasing teams usually dispose of the body of the person they killed right there and then."
"So what?" Sakura said. I mentally signed, noting how slow genins are.
"Think about it. How did he dispose of Zabuza's body?"
Sakura raised her arms into a smug shrug. "How would we know? The masked guy took the body with him."
"Exactly, if he needed proof of his work he would have just took the head, not the whole thing. And think about the weapon he used to take Zabuza down."
There was a slight pause in the room after I said that.
"No way." Sasuke whispered, finally realising what I was hinting at.
"Yeah... Exactly." I scratched the back of my head as I said that.
"What are you guys talking about?" Tazuna asked us. I stopped rubbing my head.
"Well... Most likely... Zabuza is still alive." After I said that everyone beside Sasuke had a shocked look on their face, well actually, Sasuke and Tsunmi. She had a slight confused look on her's.
"WHAT THE HELL TO YOU MEAN?!?!" Naruto yelled.
"YOU EVEN CHECK HIS BODY AND SAID HE WAS DEAD YOURSELF!!" Sakura said at the same time.
"Yeah I did, but that was most likely, just a momentary death." I told them. “The needle that hunter-nin used, unless it hits a vital organ, it had a low probability of killing your opponent. It's even an item used by doctors in acupuncture therapy. Hunter-nins know about the body's structure thoroughly. Putting a person in a momentary death is probably easy for them. First, he carried away the body of much heavier Zabuza. Second, he used a weapon that has a low probability of killing. These two point indicate that his motive was l him. We cannot to kill Zabuza, but to save him. We can't ignore that possibility."
"Aren't you over thinking too much?" asked Tazuna "hunter-nins are supposed to kill missing-nins."
"No... With all this suspicion, we will prepare before it's too late. That's a shinobi rule. Plus, whether Zabuza is dead or alive, there are no assurances that Gatou hasn't hired an even stronger shinobi. I glanced up to see Naruto slightly laughing at what I just told them. 'Heh, he's actually happy that Zabuza might be alive.'
"Sensei, what do you mean preparing before it's too late? You can barely move." Sakura stated. I let out a small laugh.
"You guys will receive training."
"Huh? Training?" Sakura said confused. "SENSEI!! WHAT IS A LITTLE TRAINING GOING TO DO?!! OUR ENEMY IS A NINJA YOU STRUGGLED AGAINST EVEN WITH THE SHARINGAN!! AND ONE OF OUT TEAMMATES IS OUT COLD BECAUSE OF HIM!!"
"Sakura... Who was the one who gave the opening and who saved me while I was struggling? Like I said before, you guys are growing rapidly. Especially you Naruto! You've improved the most." I told all of them with a closed eye smile. I waited a little before I continued on. "But obviously, this is just training until I get better, you won't be able to defeat him without me.

"But sensei, if Zabuza is alive he could attack at any time, so shouldn't we be training right now?" Sakura asked, once again.
"About that... A person put in a momentary death situation; it should take a while before their body returns to normal."
"So we train until then. Sounds like a lot of fun!" Naruto said, full of excitement. 'Heh, he just can't wait to get started.'
------------Harmony's POV------------
I layed down on the bed that I was resting on, looking at the ceiling. Every part of my body felt like it was lit on fire then chopped upped. Well the last on is true. I winced as I tried to sit up right. My hand went straight to my back, feeling the most pain coming from it. I felt the tank top I was still wearing, but under that were bandages that completely covered my back. I sighed, only from my sigh to turn into a full yawn. 'God I wish I could still be asleep, wait scratch that, I wish I for once had a night without any dreams, and that I didn't hurt so much.' I was just about to push off my covers when I heard someone yell.
"WHAT THE HELL TO YOU MEAN?!?!" I chuckled at Naruto's statement. 'So, Kakashi must have just told them about Zabuza and his fake hunter-nin partner.' As I was lying down before I was thinking about that strange boy that saved me, and how he really saved Zabuza from Kakashi. 'Oh well, it's not like we can do anything about that now, what happened, happened, and all we can do is beat both of them next time.' I pushed off my covers and saw that like my torso and back, my legs were also completely covered with bandages. I frowned. 'I did all of that against him, and he barely got even scratched, and I ended up looking like a living mummy, great.' I stood up for my bed, testing my weight on my legs, not liking how they protest a little bit, but I can deal with it for now. I started to make my way to my door, chuckling every now and again when I heard someone yell. 'God, just because you think someone will be out cold doesn't give the right to yell all the time.
I was in the hallway when I saw a little boy walk into a room, one that irrupted in yells after he entered. I walked up to the door and waited for the yelling to die down a little. I noticed that I didn't have any of my weapon pouches on, so I slowly walked back to my room, which happen to be only two doors down! I walked in and noticed them right beside my bed, were I could have seen right away. 'I really need to train if I'm slipping THAT much to not even notice my own weapon pouches. I put them all on were they needed to be, one on my right thigh and one on the back of my shorts. I placed my special on my left leg last, not liking how it is uncovered. It was the pouches were I hold my flute, my journal, and a picture of my family when i was four, before they were all killed. I all ways have a skirt on that is longer on the left side to cover that one pouch so no one sees it, because it is too precious to me. I sighed as I re-exited my room, closing the door behind me and making my three bracelets on my right wrist clash together and make the sounds of soft bells. I once again walked to the door that my team was in. I heard that Naruto was still yelling at someone, so I quietly opened the door and walked inside to a corner nearby unnoticed by most of the team. Kakashi gave me a small smile, knowing that I didn't want to be in the spotlight for being up so soon.
"Mom... They are just going to die.” Said the small boy that I saw earlier to his mother whom I am guessing is Tazuna's daughter.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU LITTLE BRAT!!" Naruto yelled, obviously fed up of the little boy.
There's no way you can win against Gatou." 'Something must have happen to him that involved Gatou, poor little guy, I feel sorry for him.'
"YOU BRAT!! I'LL!!..." Naruto continue to yell, making me wince at the noise.
"WHO ARE YOU GETTING ANGRY AT A CHILD FOR? IDIOT!" Sakura yelled at Naruto while holding him back so he wouldn't charge at him.
"HEY INARI! LISTEN! I AM A SUPER HERO WHO WILL ONE DAY BECOME AN INCREDIBLE NINJA CALLED HOKAGE!! I DON'T KNOW THIS GATOU GUY, BUT'S HE'S NOTHING AGAINST M1!!" 'Naruto would you PLEASE stop yelled' I pleaded in my head after Naruto went through another round of yelling at the little boy, or Inari I should say.
"Pft, what are you saying? There's no such thing as a hero!" Inari said to Naruto. 'Ouch, that's going to leave a mark on Naruto's pride.'
"WHAT?!!" Naruto yelled... once again
"Stop it!!" Sakura yelled, still restraining him. I sweat drop at those two. One is getting burned by a kid, and one is getting mad and is restraining the other. Inari then turned around and started to walk to the door. Before he reached the door he turned he's head to look at my team.
"If you don't want to die, you should leave..." Inari told everyone before turning back to the door.
"Where are you going Inari?" Tazuna asked he's grandson.
"To look at the ocean from my room." He replied before leaving.
"Huh, so he finds water relaxing too..." I said, purposely getting the attention of everyone before Naruto would go off to confront Inari.
"Harmony! You up!" Sakura said, clearly surprised. She and Tazuna's daughter ran towards me.
"Harmony, what are you doing out of bed, you should even be awake for the next two days!" Tazuna's daughter told me, or tried to scold me, I am not really sure.
"Sorry, my mind wouldn't let me sleep, and before you ask Sakura, yes I am fine, sore but fine." I said, cutting off the question forming on Sakura's mouth. I heard a soft chuckle come from behind them. I leaned over slightly so I could see Kakashi, knowing it was him that laughed.
"So I'm guessing you already told them about Zabuza being alive and that the hunter-nin was a fake?" I asked him in a bored tone. Before he could say anything, Naruto jumped up, clearly surprised.
"HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU ALL READY KNOW ABOUT THAT?!" He yelled. I winced once again, not liking the loudness he possesses.
"Three thing Naruto. One. Stop yelling it's giving me a headache. Two, your yelling about it woke me up, so I heard about it. And three, how are you planning on training the three genins, and do you need help?" I directed the last on at Kakashi, earning a raised eyebrow from him.
"No, I don't need help Harmony, and by the way, how’s your back." He replied. I shrugged my shoulders.
"Not bad, my back feels like someone used it as a punching bag, lit it on fire, and then used a sword to put it out. So I would say the usual, but the sword part is kinda new."
"THE USUAL! HOW CAN THAT BE NORMAL!?" Naruto once again yelled. I gave him a look that said, 'shut up... now.' He instantly sat back down, not making eye contact with me. I looked at everyone that was still in the room. Sakura, Tazuna and he's daughter had worried, and slightly surprised looks on their faces, Naruto was too scared to look at me, Sasuke was unemotional as all ways, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. Kakashi was the only one who wasn't surprised, well not really. I started to walk towards the window that was beside Kakashi's bed. I stopped when I was next to him.
"Kakashi, you know we need to talk and make a plan for the next time." I said in a low voice for him to hear.
"Yeah I know... Where are you planning on going?" He replied.
"Out. Loosen some sore muscles, practice on my flute, you know, just regular training." I walked up to the window and opened it up, jumping onto the ledge in a crouched position, my back to everyone. "Seeing that you can't move right any, I guess I'll be seeing you later tonight for your chat. See ya!" With that I jumped out of the window into a front flip, and ran into the forest when I landed. 'Now, time to find a nice quiet stop.'
-----------FF------------
So after I don't know how many hours of walking, and me talking in suck profanities that would have even scared the dead, I finally found the perfect spot to train and clam down. See, whenever I am on a mission and I fall asleep, I am not in the greatest mood, and I have to train to calm down. I walked into a clearing that connect to a crystal clear blue lake. Just by looking at the lake made my calm down a little. Like I said before, looking at water soothed me, and washed away my troubles. I walked on top of the lake until I was on the center, then I took a deep breath before I took out my flute, raising it to my mouth, blowing some air into it, making it sing out a sweet single note. Closing my eyes, I let blew more air in to my flute, letting the some note play, but letting last longer. I let the note hang in the air, until it completely vanished. Sighing I re-opened my eyes, taking in the breath talking sight of the lake one more time.
"Shadow clone jutsu." I called out; making five identical comes of me. I got into a fighting stance and my clones followed my lead.
"Water and Wind jutsus only today. We need to practice those the most." I said to the other five.
"What about the sound jutsu, we haven't done that one in a while." Said one of the clones.
"Yeah, it’s been a while, so we need to work on those." Exclaimed another. I sighed, when it I become so hard to train with?!
"Fine, all jutsus, but no special taijutsu, genjutsu, Kekkia Genkia, and that include Ice style. And no fighting with my flute, just regular handsigns, kunias, senbons, and shurikens." All my clones nodded in an agreement. "All right guys, time to go wild!" I shouted, and all of us ran at each other, ready to fight until I drop.
-------A few hours later. -------- (A/N sorry, didn't want to give too much away about her other fighting skills)
"Water Style: Destruction Torrent!!" A vortex of water appeared in my right hand as I ran towards the two remaining clones. As I lashed my hand out towards the, the vortex blasted out, spiraling at the clones, sending them flying from the impact. The both disappeared mid-air, leaving my all alone on the lake, with nothing but the moon to keep me company. I looked down at the water, seeing how the lake changed from its crystal blue, to liquid simmering silver from the moonlight and the stars above. I slowly made my way off of the lake and onto the shore, for my chakra was running low, and I could slip into the water below if I didn't pay attention.
"Yo." I jumped in fright from that two letter word, breaking my concentration and making my fall into the water. I swam to the surface, glaring at Kakashi as he calmly stood on the shore.
"What the yell was that for?!" I yelled at him as I stood up again, dripping wet. Kakashi just shrugged his shoulders, but I saw them shake from laughter.
"Yes, Haha, very funny Fang...” I said to him, my voice laced with sarcasm.
"Gomen. Gomen." Kakashi replied, still silently laughing at me. I stalked up to him, holding on of my hands be hand my back. 'Payback.'
"Hey Kakashi." Kakashi looked up at me, and saw the smirk on my face. He tried to get away, but his crutches made that almost impossible.
"To slow!" I suddenly disappeared, only to reappear with a huge sphere of water beside me. I then launched the water at him, sending him flying a couple of feet, soaking him in the process. Kakashi fell right on his back, with his crutches on top of him. When he sat up I couldn't help but laugh at the sight. Kakashi's normally gravity defining hair was slicked down, dripping wet, making him look like a wet kitten! Or an every mad wet kitten the way he was glaring at me. I fell down to the ground, holding my stomach, laughing my head off.
"Haha, very funny Harmony." He said to me as he tried to stand up again, only to fail and fall on his face, making me laugh even harder.
"Haha!! Gom-Hahahahaha!" I tried to apologize to him, but I couldn't stop laughing, it was just too funny! I was laughing so hard that I didn't notice Kakashi walk to the lake with a bucket until he splashed water on me, drenching me with water once again! I jumped up in shock, and tackled him to the ground with me landing on top of him. I didn't notice I was straddling him until he cleared his throat, making my face flush red in embarrassment. I quickly got off him and sat down on the ground a couple feet form him and cleared my throat, still blushing.
"So I see that you’re done training for now." Kakashi said.

Asturian Warbringer - A LitRPG on Earth
Currently releasing 5 chapters a week Luke Kells liked only one thing about himself: his green eyes. He hated getting bullied, hated being poor, hated being an orphan, hated his weakness, hated the government, hated his life. If someone had given him a button to push and kill everyone but him and his granddad, he would've done it without a second thought. Then, one day, after fainting during a beating, he woke up with memories that would change his life. Magic, martial arts, how to craft special artifacts; he knew it all. Anyone would’ve taken that path to glory at once. However, he had to deal with a lot on his plate first. To even begin walking that path, Luke first had to deal with his own psychological issues. Almost two years of brutal bullying that was akin to torture and no support from the school staff of the police had left him with a broken soul. Before even realizing he could be rich or powerful, he had to bring himself out of the mental hellhole he found himself in. Oh, and his memories also told him the Sentinel Tower would change reality in six months to protect the planet from the Demonic Horde. But that wasn’t as important as not making the local bully angry, right? A story about personal growth, overcoming obstacles, and reaching absolute glory at the end of the path. This is a slow-paced, character-centered story. If you want something faster paced, filled with almost immediate and nonstopping action, check out my other novel: Modern Awakening - A cultivation, LitRPG, apocalyptic novel.
