Finally Zabuza said "You got that?" Aozame then nodded. Zabuza then said "Alright your going to use that technique to try and get rid of the mist. When you manage to finish that, then i'll teach you the water clone technique." Aozame nodded and began making hand signs. When he finished he began to dissmiss the veil of mist. The mist began to evaporate and daylight began to shine down on Aozame. Finally he was actually able to see his surroundings. When the mist had fully cleared, Aozame turned to face the ghostly Zabuza.
1/7
He was slightly transparent, making him very hard to see. Aozame then said to him "Well now what? That was fairly easy." Zabuza smirked and said "I expected just that from you. Well i suppose now i should teach you the water clone jutsu shouldn't I? Well i suppose i'll give you the need-to-knows about the water clone. Basically you use some water around you to make it into a copy of yourself but you probably already knew that. This technique does have its restrictions though. For one, the clone only has one tenth of the original user's power which is why i usually conjure more than one."
2/7
"Another drawback is that the clone can not go too far away from the user. If it continues to wander away, it will just return to the form which it came so they're not very good for tracking someone down. And lastly the moment it is struck in any way, it will return to its watery state. Thats pretty much all you need to know about it. Now i'm going to make the hand signs slowly so you get a chance to memorize them." Zabuza said. He began making the hand signs slowly so that Aozame had a chance to memorize them. Finally Zabuza finishe and looked at Aozame.
3/7
Zabuza then said "Got it memorized?" and Aozame nodded. Zabuza then said "Well I guess the only way i can say you've mastered the technique is if you make three exact copies of yourself, made out of water. Since you say you've got them memorized, lets see you put it into action. Make three water clones and then you can say with a smirk that Zabuza taught you the water clone jutsu." Aozame nodded accepting his challenge. He began looking for a watersource to make the clones out of. He noticed a few small puddles that had formed when he got rid of the mist.
4/7
As he saw the puddles of water Aozame began making hand signs. When he finished the last hand sign he said "Water clone jutsu." Out of three nearby puddles, the water began to rise out of it. As it did it began to change into Aozame. Finally three copies of Aozame stood in the puddles in which they originated. They then walked over to Aozame's side. Aozame then turned to Zabuza and said "How's this?" with an arrogent smirk on his face. Zabuza gave a chuckle and said "Actually thats pretty good. Well then i suppose you've mastered that technique."
5/7
Aozame nodded as he dissmissed the clones. As they stood next to Aozame, they instantly turned back into water and plopped into a puddle once more. Zabuza smirked and said "Well i suppose i should be going now. I better get started on tracking down Kisame." Aozame nodded to Zabuza and said "And when you go back to the afterlife, tell Haku i said hi" Zabuza then replied "Why not do it yourself? He went wandering off into the village. I expect he's hiding hoping he won't spook too many people so you'll have to keep your eyes peeled if you want to find him."
6/7
Aozame nodded and began walking back to the village. As he was walking back he noticed a nearby lake. He couldn't resist having a quick swim. When he was younger he spent much of his time at that lake. He had spent so much time in the lake that the fish even recognized him. They would flock to him to swim along with him. If they caught him on a good day, Aozame didn't eat them. Aozame dove into the lake and began swiming around. When he reached the middle of the lake he dove to the deepest part of the lake where he relaxed for a while.

Aozame finally came out of the water. When he emerged he noticed a thick layer of mist had covered the surroundings again. "Great, blinded once more" He muttered to himself. He began walking almost blindly back to the villag when he noticed a figure in the distance. As he approached the figure, it vanished into thin air. It then appeared behind him. Aozame smirked and said "Haku right?" Haku replied in shock "How did you know?" Aozame then said "Zabuza said you'd be close by. I wanted to say hi and he said you were wandering around the village."
1/5
"Plus you used one of your most notible techniques. The Mist instantanious body skill." Haku gave a light smile and said "So you noticed. Why did you want to say hi?" Aozame smiled and said "Do i need a reason to say hi?" Haku gave a slight laugh and said "Well its nice to see you too. Zabuza-san said he had something to ask you. Would you mind telling me? He refuzed to give me any details of it. Said it was on a need to know basis." Aozame laughed and said "I don't see why he thinks it was a secret. He just wanted to ask me a few questions about Kisame."
2/5
Haku replied "The same Kisame that was with Zabuza-san in the Seven Swordsman of the Mist?" Aozame muttered "Yup. Hey would you mind teaching me that technique?" Haku tilted his head slightly and said "You mean the mist instantanious body skill?" Aozame nodded and said "Thats the one. I just graduated fromt he academy and i need to start building my arsenal of techniques." Haku laughed and said "I'm actually quite glad i left that all behind in this world. Its too much chaos. I'm sure you can put it to better use than i could. Sure i'll teach it to you."
3/5
Aozame lit up with excitement. Haku then said "This technique is very simple. You just focus your chakra into your muscles to give you quick relfexes temporarily. The Mist serves as a medium to distract your opponent while you dash behind them. Because it is so fast, the movement seems instantanious. Just becarefull with this technique. It was used against me when one ninja notices the movement of the mist and was able to track my location before i reappeared, so to speak. Now watch me carefully as i begin using it to appear all around you."
4/5
Haku then flickered as he appeared in front of Aozame. He then appeared at his left side, then his right. Aozame then figured out how the technique worked and began appearing at the spots that Haku had just been. Finally after a mad dash of chasing, Haku stopped and said "Very good. You will use this technique well." Aozame replied "Thank you. Well it was nice seeing you again. I've got to get home. Goodbye" But before he could finish Haku vanished along with the mist. Aozame looked up at the now clear sky and said "Well at least i can see again."

Aozame walked back home hoping he wouldn't run into any more interruptions. As he walked through the quiet village he came upon a group of puddles in front of him. Out of one of the pulled came a head with black hair, a mist headband, and a breathing mask covering most of the face. In another puddle a similar head peeked out of the puddle. They both then rose out of the puddle completely and stared at Aozame. Aozame gave a slightly irritated look and said "Gouza, Meizu i really don't have time for your games. I have to get home for dinner"
1/5
The two ninjas began laughing sinisterly and said "If you want to go through you'll have to get past us." Aozame gave an annoyed sigh and began walking through the field of puddles. Meizu apppeared in a puddle in front of him and pushed him back. "Your not getting through this way." He said with a chuckle. Aozame was now getting very annoyed. Gouza appeared in a puddle behind Aozame and threw him back to the front of the field of puddles. Aozame was now very irritated. He scowled at the demon brothers and sadi "Alright, you want to play? Lets play."
2/5
Aozame ran up to one of the puddles and dove head first into it. He emereged in the puddle that Meizu stood in with his arm in the air. He uppercutted Meizu sending him up in the air and out of the puddle feild. He quickly turned around to face Gouza. Gouza's eyes widened as he began to shake in place. In a panic, he began to sink back into the puddle. Aozame smirked and said "Oh no you don't. Get back here now." He ran to follow Gouza but he had already sunk into the puddle. Aozame sighed and said "Why do you have to make this so hard?"
3/5
He dunked his head and arms into the puddle and began reaching around for Gouza. He finally grabbed his leg and pulled him out of the puddle. He raised Gouza up so he could see his upsidown face staring cowardly at him. He smiled with his sharp teeth at him and said "Pathetic." Gouza began swinging his claws wildly at Aozame. Aozame dodged his swings swiftlully and said "Well looks like someone needs to calm down." Aozame then swung Gouza in the air and tossed him at Meizu. Meizu yelled as Gouza landed on him. He then walked up to the two laying on the floor.
4/5
He then said to the brothers "You done playing yet?" the two brothers gasped in shock that the new Genin had so much skill. They then ran away in fear as Aozame shine them his sharp teeth. Aozame then continued his journy back home "Geeze what a day" he said to himself. He finally reached his house. Being exhausted from the days activities, he decided to go straight to bed. Before he even hit the mattress he was out for the night. He figured since he had no more academy training he'd sleep in. The next day he woke around two o'clock in the afternoon.

Aozame woke up the next morning and looked at his clock. "Wow i really slept in" he muttered to himself as he got dressed. He ate lunch and grabbed his equiptment. He figured since he got off to a late start he better squeeze as much training in as he could. He left his house and went to his lake to practice the techniques he had just learned yesterday. He swam around in the lake with a few water clones as they vanished to different spots in the water. He then climbed up out of the lake. When he looked over at the nearby tree, he saw a familar face leaning against it.
1/10
Aozame scanned the figure under the tree. He was wearing a black kimono with red clouds decorated all over it. He then looked up at the scratched mist headband just above the pale grey face. He then saw familar gills leading to a toothy grin with its razor sharp teeth. Even though he was a member of the Akatsuki organization, Aozame wasn't the least bit intimidated. He smirked and said "Well, well, well, look what the fisherman dragged in. What are you doing here?" Kisame chuxkled and said "Well, looks like someone grew a dorsal fin since i've been away."
2/10
Aozame scowled at Kisame and said "You know, if people knew you were here, there would be a riot." Kisame laughed and said "I'm not too woried about that. I just came to stop by and see how a fellow clan member was doing." Kisame then gazed upon the mist headband on Aozame's sash and added "So you joined the ranks of those pathetic excuses this village calls Shinobi. When did you graduate?" Aozame stared at the ground feeling embarrassed and said "Yesterday..." Kisame laughed and said "Well lets see if you really deserve to be a ninja."
3/10
"Lets see if you can wear that headband proudly without embarrasing yourself." Kisame said. He crouched down grabbing hold of his sharkskin blade. He dashed at Aozame and swung his sharkskin down at Aozame. Aozame quickly pulled out his harpoon and blocked the sharkskin. Kisame smirked as he forced the blade lower and lower. It softly landed on Aozame's shoulder. Kisame's eyes widened and he yanked his blade back. The blade tore at Aozame's shoulder. Aozame stumbled back grabbing his shoulder. When he looked up Kisame once again swung his blade at Aozame.
4/10
Aozame once again blocked it with his harpoon but he knew he wouldn't get far if he stayed that way. Suddenly the four water clones he had created earlier burst out of the water and onto the battlefield. All four jumped up into the air and threw a fury of kunais at Kisame. Kisame's eyes widened as the kunais rushed at him. He jumped back pulling his sharkskin off of Aozame and dodgeing the kunais. "Well well well, looks like someone has a few tricks up their sleeve." Kisame said with a smirk. All four water clone and Aozame formed a pentagon around Kisame.
5/10
All five Aozames pulled out a handfull of shuriken and aimed at Kisame. Kisame spun around examining all of the clones. All of the Aozame's unleashed thier shuriken all around Kisame leaving him little place to go. Kisame did noting to avoid the shuriken. He was peirced in all directions. When he fell to the floor, he burst into water. Aozame's eyes widened as he though 'He used the same technique i used' Aozame looked around to look for the real Kisame. He looked up at the tree to see Kisame standing up on a branch smirking at him with his toothy grin.
6/10
Kisame began making hand signs and muttered "Water Shark Bullet" The water from the lake behind Aozame began to rise up and form a shark. When it was fully formed it sped to one of the water clones from behind. Catching Aozame off guard, the shark tore through the water clone spilling water everywhere. The water shark turned around to make another dash at the water clones. Aozame and his clones began running in different directions to puddles created by the destroyed water clone. All four dove into a small puddle with the Instantaneous Water Body Skill.
7/10
Having no where to attack, the water shark dove back into the lake returning to its natural form. One of Aozame's clones emerged from a puddle and taunted Kisame. Kisame angrily threw a kunai at the insulting water clone. Meanwhile the real Aozame snuck out of hits puddle and began climbing up the tree. The clone dove back into its puddle just before the kunai landed. Aozame sealthfully stepped behind Kisame with a kunai at hand while Kisame played whack a mole with Aozame's clones. Aozame made a stab for Kisame's shoulder with the kunai.
8/10
Kisame saw the kunai out of the corner of his eyes and tried to dodge it but he was too late. The kunai stabbed through Kisame's kimono and into his shoulder. Kisame grunted as the kunai tore though his skin. He body flickered down to the field of puddles where Aozame's clones were. Kisame looked at his shoulder to examin the wound. "Well, maby you do deserve that headband. Maby if your lucky enough, you'll join the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. You handle yourself well in the face of danger" Aozame jumped down a few feet in front of Kisame and dispelled his clones.
9/10
Kisame then said to Aozame "It seems like its time for you to inherit the clan techniques. Since you've proven yourself worthy, I'll teach them to you. We better move to a more deserted part of the village before the hunter nins come looking for me." Aozame nodded feeling accomplished since he was able to stand up to an S ranked missing ninja of the Akatsuki organization. The two body flickered deep into the forest by the mist village. They arrived at a large lake at the edge of the forest. Aozame looked around and asked Kisame "What techniques are you going to teach me?"

Kisame yawned and scratched his chin. He looked around the area and inspected it carefully. 'Here looks good He thought to himself as he turned back to Aozame. "Well you saw the technique i used earlier right?" Aozame paused for a minute recalling the battle that ensued earlier. He then replied "You mean the water shark thing?" Kisame nodded and said "Yes the Water Shark Bullet Technique. Its a basic technique of the Hoshigaki clan. I'm surprised you havn't already learned it." Aozame grunted as he said "Well there hasn't been anyone around to teach me..."
1/9
Kisame raised his eyebrow and replied "You'll get over it. Now do you want to learn or not? I could just as easily leave and you'd never know how to do it." Aozame gave him an annoyed look and said "Fine, fine, just teach me already." Kisame looked over at the lake and said "Well basically all you do is condense water into the form of a shark and it rises out to attack your opponent. You can basically move it however you want and into any type of shark you want. Thats basically it. There's really not much else too it. I'll give you another demonstration now."
2/9
"Watch my hands now. I won't be doing them again." Aozame nodded and payed cose attention to the hand signs. Kisame began making hand signs and the water in the lake began to bend. It then rose out of the water and began forming a hammerhead shark. It flailed in the air as it finishe forming. Kisame then said "Water shark bullet!" The hammerhead shark then rushed forward and slammed into a tree ripping it right out of its roots. Kisame examined his technique feeling pleased with himself. He turned back to Aozame and gave him a toothy grin.

As the Hoshigaki continued to walk through the mist village he looked around in wonderment. He had been gone for so long and had grew to like this place it fitted him the misty area was his home even if he didnt consider himself to have a family in these parts. As he continued to walk through the village A large sword landed directly infront of him. Arashi looked up questioningly at a now familar face. "Zabuza, Demon of the mist." Arashi muttered to himself in awe. Arashis eyes looked back fro mthe sword and then Zabuza still wondering why the mist ninja had thrown his large sword in his direction.
(( water clone 1/6))
"Oye, what brings you to these parts." Zabuza said plaining as if the shinobi was not a member of the mist village. The large man that was Zabuza walked over to Arashi to pick up the large head cleaving sword before continuing the conforsation.
Arashi was speechless he stuttered for a moment not knowing how to respond to what the man had said to him. "I...uh...live here?" Arashi said questioning if he actualyl did infact live here in the mist village.

((What a coincidence. Two people from the same clan, training in the same village at the same time xD))
"Now you got that?" Kisame asked. Aozame nodded as he memorized the hand signs. Kisame then said "Good. Now lets see you put that move into action. Your going to make is slam into that tree over there. Don't expect to tear the tree out of the ground. I was being a bit of a showoff." Aozame gave an annoyed look and turned to the lake. He began making hand signs and the water in the lake began to stirr. Aozame finished the hand signs and muttered "Water shark bullet." The water began to form into a shark but couldn't maintain its form.
4/9
The water shark began to fall apart until it crashed back into the water from where it came. Kisame gave a disgusted look and said "What the hell was that? You couldn't even finish forming the shark. That was the saddest excuse for a water shark bullet i've ever seen." Aozame stared at the ground feeling dissapointed with himself. Kisame then said "I think I know what went wrong. You couldn't decide what kind of shark to form. That thing looked like a hammerhead crossed over with a tiger shark. An insult to all sharks everywhere i say. Now try it again."
5/9
"And this time made a clear distinction on what type of shark your going to form. Don't want to see one of those deformed sharks again. Remember: if you don't keep your chakra together, its just going to fall apart." Kisame added. Aozame nodded determined to master the technique. He began making hand signs once more and a water shark began to rise out of the water. This time there was a clear distinction of the shark as it appeared to be a mako shark. It began rushing at the tree Kisame pointed to but it fell appart before it could make contact. 6/9
It just ended up as a puddle on the ground. Kisame then became angry and said "Damn it Aozame! Can't you do anything right? You almost had it and you blow it on the last few seconds. I told you to keep your chakra together. Geez your more of a headache than i thought. Now try one more time. If you screw this last one up then i'm gone. There's no use training a weakling like you. Just because you can swim faster doesn't mean your destined to become a great ninja. Your a disgrace to the Hoshigaki clan. Now try it one more time and this time try not to screw it up."
7/9
Kisame then crossed his arms and examined Aozame. Aozame was getting frustrated not only with himself but with Kisame's harsh words. Aozame to a deep breath to calm himself and find his center. He then felt that he was ready to try it once more. He turned back to the lake staring at his reflection in the water. He then began making hand signs while focusing his chakra in the water. The water began to rise out and swirl in an orb above the lake. It then began to take the shape of a sleek mako shark. It squirmed around in the air as it finished forming.
8/9
It finally became a full mako shark. It rushed forward towards the tree at incredible speeds keeping its form. It slammed into the tree tearing some of the bark right off it leaving a huge crack all along the with of the truck. The tree began to sway back and fourth until if fell over at the spot where the shark hadsliced it. Aozame turned to Kisame with a sense satisfaction. Kisame then smirked and said "Took you long enough. I wondering if you were ever going to get it. Well now that you finally got that down i guess i'll teach you something else. Hmmm but what..."
9/9

Zazbuza let out a laugh in a deep tone. "So you live here then. I couldnt really tell that you did." Zabuza said taking another glance at Arashi before stepiong back. "Hmm a Hoshigaki." After his encounter with Kisame and being apart of the seven swordsmen of the mist it was not something great to see another Hoshigaki clans member. "So, do you think I could learn something from you seeing as you are one of the most famous shinobi of the mist?"
(( 3/6 water clone))
Arashi was still hesitant to talk to Zabuza seeing as he was not a very sociable person. Zabuza smirked as several clones of hismelf appeared out of no where it seemed to be out of thin air. Arashi being one of the less observant didnt notice how he did this. "uh..?" Arashi was speechless he didnt know how to react it was one thing in the academy but now here it was so much different. "How did you do that?" It was odd enough that he was capable of making physical clones of himself unlike those at the academy also known as bunshins.

Zabuza laughed under the large bandages around his mouth. A small grin outline could be seen underneath it. "The water clone technique. You make replicas of yourself by forming a somewhat of a bunshin molded with water chakra however they can only take a single blow and then they will evaporate. A very good technique in my opinon." A sly smirk crossed Arashis face as he looked at the clones once more. Examining them to make sure he knew what he was doing. The Hoshigaki took several steps back before starting to channel his water chakra into the technique. It was his element so this would be easy for him.
(( 5/6 water clone))
Arashi closed his eyes so he could concentrate more he slowly rose his hands to be formed in the original seal. Slowly chaka emerged from Arashi and suddenly the water vapors in the air started to form together several clones of himself appeared directly ifnront of Zabuzas staring in Zabuzas direction. Each of the water turned to puddles several moments later. There was no point in holding the technique. Arashi laid back on the ground expecting to learn more form the legendary Zabuza. "Well it seems you arent so bad of a student." Zabuza said canceling the water cloen technique as well.

Mitsuko sighed as she set foot in her home village. She had been fighting international threats but have neglected her duties in her own village, and the entire wave country. Her regret was replaced by incredulous indifference, for she knew that most of the economical sotuation is in the hands of daimyos and she was only incharge of hidden mist and the assigning of missions beneficial to the state. And it wasn't like anyone listens to her anyways...most of the missions she send out are delayed for so long due to old grudges.

Mitsuko went to her office and looked drearily at the pile of paperwork, knowing that the other people were eating out in restaurants right now. Her clerks were gone too, but she knew that they couldn't work anyways, being a yankee thug and a psychic freak. Mitsuko looked over a petition to install another jail in town. The petition had about 540 signatures, most of them looked like random placements of syllables and characters. Who would be named: Mizu Bakamaru? These fake petitions were quite commmon and Mitsuko got the feeling that she was being treated like an idiot again.

A large blade sliced through the door and Mitsuko sighed as she saw three hulking figures walk through with Zanbatou's. Zabuza was trying to assassinate her again, and it was getting kinda boring. They knew eachother personally and though it wasn't friendship, it was atleast neutral respect. They had an agreement that with each of his faile assassiantions, he would teach her a technique. Nowadays, she was a bit stronger than him...she was the next generation after all. Mitsuko made a handseal and the icebombs that she placed underneath the floor exploded and the clones dissolved into water.

Mitsuko sensed a movement behind her and instinctly used water instantaneous body. The blade cleaved right through her liquified neck and slammed into the wall. "your gonna have to pay for the damage..." said Mitsuko as she formed back and swatted zabuza with the bandaged samehada.
"Ow。。。" muttered zabuza as he rubbed his head. That huge scar on the wall was gonna cost alot. "that wasn't fair...if you didn't turn water, then the wall would've been safe."
Mitsuko bit her lips and couldn't actually argue with that, though insurance companies would probably cover damage from madly swinging a sword into a wall.

"alright, so what do you want to learn this time. I can't teach you great waterfall or water prison, ya know." said Zabuza as he crossed his arms, universal body language for : I'm a big snob and won't teach ingrates like you any decent techniques.
"okay, point taken."said Mitsuko as she rolled her eyes. "how about just mizu bunshin?" It was quite a standard move, buit Mitsuko didn't want to real techniques out of text books...
Zabuza laughed and nodded, glad that he didn't have to release information on his personal techniques that gave him his fame.

"okay...I'm sure you know that the first step is to use surroungding water...or generate your own. But due to the short life expectancy of these clones, you might not want to waste chakra for that." explained Zabuza while Mitsuko nodded her pretty little head. "These clones cost very little of your chakra, but once they are without a water source and too faraway from you, then they will automatically dissipate. That is not to say that they are useless, because they can provide alost of backup and the water they leave behind can still be useful."
Mitsuko thought of it, and noticed that once she has the clones near an opponent, she could possibly use bubble trap on them.
