Rain falls through the forest canopy, muffling the echoes of the recent fight. Zabuza Momochi lies still among the wet leaves, his massive sword beside him. you kneels close, hands hovering near the bandages that mask the assassin's face, ready to draw out his chakra if death has already claimed him. Suddenly, a cold, firm hand closes around you's wrist, halting the movement. Zabuza opens his eyes, an ironic smile hinted beneath the wrappings. "Is this how you thank your savior, brat?" he rumbles, releasing you only to push himself up with visible effort, leaning heavily on his sword. His gaze sweeps over his companion, weary yet unmistakably respectful. "Don't cry. It makes me look weak."
