Kushina Uzumaki The Sage Of The Yuri Path

Zabuza's Kubikiribōchō carved through the mist like a guillotine, forcing Team 7 to scatter once more. His eyes gleamed with deadly intent, his movements calculated and relentless. Despite their efforts, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Raven were feeling the strain.

Breathing heavily, Naruto Uzumaki wiped sweat from his brow, his grin still defiant despite the ache in his muscles. He clutched a kunai in one hand, ready for more.

"We're not done yet!" Naruto declared.

Zabuza sneered. "You brats have spirit, I'll give you that. But spirit won't stop me from cutting you down."

"We'll see about that," Raven Kamizuki muttered, her violet eyes gleaming. She quickly formed a hand sign.

"Pizza Clone Technique!"

Several Pizza Clones burst into existence, the mist briefly carrying the scent of herbs and melted cheese. Some appeared as perfect copies of Raven, while others shifted into grotesque pizza monsters, their cheese-stretched limbs oozing sauce.

Naruto laughed. "Time for seconds, huh?"

"Just cover me," Raven shot back.

Sasuke wiped the side of his face, his dark eyes narrowing. "Enough playing around. It's time we finish this."

Zabuza lunged at them again, swinging his blade in a wide arc.

Naruto leapt back, barely avoiding the blow.

"Ramen Noodle Clone Technique!" Naruto shouted, slamming his hands together.

Dozens of Ramen Clones materialized, the familiar aroma of broth and noodles filling the air as they swarmed Zabuza from the sides.

Zabuza grunted in annoyance as the clones attempted to entangle his legs with their Ramen Whips, but his strength and precision allowed him to slice through them effortlessly.

"You're going to need more than food to stop me!" Zabuza barked.

"Then how about some heat?" Sasuke's voice cut through the mist.

"Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!"

Small fireballs burst from Sasuke's mouth, weaving through the mist like deadly embers. They collided with Zabuza's position, forcing him to retreat a few steps.

Raven took the opening.

"Pizza Monster: Mozzarella Bind!" she shouted.

One of her cheese-limbed clones lunged forward, its gooey mozzarella tendrils wrapping around Zabuza's left arm. He growled, yanking his arm free with brute force, splattering sauce and cheese across the bridge.

"That all you've got?" Zabuza snapped.

"Not even close," Raven said with a grin.

"Ramen Clone Rush!" Naruto called, his clones surging forward, overwhelming Zabuza with sheer numbers. They grappled with him, their noodle-like limbs wrapping around his ankles.

Zabuza snarled as he began hacking them apart, his massive sword cleaving through the clones like a scythe through wheat.

But this was the moment Sasuke had been waiting for.

The Uchiha stepped forward, his Sharingan-less gaze sharpening into something far more dangerous. He met Zabuza's eyes with a piercing glare, his chakra surging as he unleashed his new technique.

"Hidden Uchiha Style: Brooding Stare!"

The weight of Sasuke's oppressive aura pressed into Zabuza's mind like a stone, the sheer intensity of his brooding presence evoking an involuntary shiver.

Zabuza's eyes briefly widened. For a split second, his grip on his sword loosened as his thoughts faltered.

Why… Why does this kid look like he's already lost everything? Zabuza thought, his heart quickening. Is this what regret feels like?

Naruto noticed the hesitation.

"Now!" Naruto yelled.

"Ramen Spiral Strike!" Naruto shouted, charging forward.

He twisted his body, his fists wrapped in noodle-like chakra, and delivered a spinning punch to Zabuza's ribs, sending him stumbling backward.

Raven capitalized on the opening.

"Pizza Clone: Pepperoni Blitz!"

Her clones attacked simultaneously, cheese-limbs flailing, battering Zabuza from multiple angles. The assault forced him down to one knee, his breathing heavy.

"Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!" Sasuke roared.

A stream of fire erupted from his mouth, searing the ground around Zabuza and forcing him to leap backward to avoid being scorched.

As he landed, Sakura Haruno stepped forward, her eyes focused.

"Genjutsu: Dancing Petal Prison!" she whispered.

Illusionary pink petals swirled around Zabuza, clouding his vision and disorienting his senses.

Zabuza's breathing quickened as he struggled to differentiate reality from illusion. His perception blurred, his footwork slowing as his body stiffened from fatigue and confusion.

Kakashi, still dripping from the earlier Water Prison Jutsu, observed from the sideline with a faint smile hidden beneath his mask.

"They're working together…" Kakashi murmured. "They've grown."

Zabuza, however, was not finished.

With a guttural growl, he dispelled the illusion and surged forward with renewed ferocity.

"Enough of your games!" he bellowed.

His blade arced toward Naruto, but Raven's Pizza Clone intercepted the strike, exploding into a splash of marinara and melted cheese.

Naruto slid under Zabuza's guard.

"Ramen Barrage!"

Naruto's clones rained blows from all directions, their fists connecting with Zabuza's chest and legs.

Sasuke moved in, his Brooding Stare still lingering like a mental dagger in Zabuza's mind.

"Fire Style: Phoenix Flame Burst!"

The flames illuminated the mist, scorching Zabuza's left side and forcing him to drop to one knee once again.

But just as Team 7 prepared for the final blow, a blur darted through the mist.

A masked figure landed beside Zabuza with graceful precision. Her long, dark hair flowed behind her mask, and ice-like senbon needles gleamed in her fingers.

Raven's eyes narrowed.

That's her. Haku.

"I'm a hunter-nin from the Mist Village," the masked woman spoke, her voice soft but firm. "I'll handle this. Zabuza is from my village, so it's only right I end his life."

Before anyone could react, Haku's hands blurred, and the senbon needles struck Zabuza's neck and chest with pinpoint accuracy. Taking Zabuza's life along with them.

Zabuza's body went limp, his eyes dimming.

Naruto's eyes widened. "Did she just—"

Haku hoisted Zabuza's body onto her back.

"I will dispose of him. You will not see him again. Thank you for your cooperation." Haku said coldly before vanishing into the mist.

The silence that followed was deafening. Team 7 stood there, breathing heavily, the weight of the battle finally settling in.

"Did… we win?" Naruto asked.

Kakashi stepped forward now released from the water prison, his visible eye narrowing.

"Perhaps," Kakashi said quietly. "But something's not right about that woman."

Raven smirked to herself.

Oh, we haven't seen the last of Zabuza and when we do see him next… he's joining my side.

Yuumi's voice echoed in her mind. "I liked the part where he almost wet himself from Sasuke's brooding."

Raven chuckled softly. "Me too."

As the mist slowly began to clear, the team regrouped, battered but victorious—for now.

But Raven knew this was only the beginning of her vast and glorious Yuri empire the best is yet to come.
