Zabuza flipped through them, finally deciding on one. "This one."
Haku nodded.
"Sakura Haruno. Excessive amounts of chakra, uses a ridiculous number of shadow clones combined with other forces. Possibly a kekkei genkai," said Haku as he wrote the note to accompany the picture. "Genin of Konoha, studying under Kakashi Hatake. Sadistic but prefers psychological torture tactics."
Zabuza nodded, took the note and picture, and put them in a stamped envelope that he'd already prepared. "Now we just send it off and she'll be in the bingo books."
"She looks so clueless but is clearly quite dangerous," said Haku. "If she is this troublesome at genin level, what will she be like when she's older?"
"Not our problem," said Zabuza. "Though the blue sparkles might be a reinforcement from the boy who is studying seal-jutsu. Not enough information, and it's obvious the girl is the real problem."
"I understand, Zabuza-sama," said Haku. "What next?"
"We finish looting Gato's place," said Zabuza. "Got to get paid somehow. Idiot ordered his men to kill a jonin. Hell, he deserves to have his ill-gotten booty looted."
"Tree climbing?" asked Naruto.
"It's not only a useful skill but it teaches chakra control and maintenance," said Kakashi.
"I can fly, Kakashi-sensei," pointed out Naruto.
"Yes, but you can certainly use the training in chakra control and maintenance," countered Kakashi.
"Ring-san agrees with you," said Naruto, beginning to pout.
"Naruto's ring is smarter than he is," noted Sasuke.
"You say that like that would be difficult," said Sakura, still mad at Naruto because his ring had tried to kill her just because she was trying to get it off his hand. Hardly fair, as she knew Sasuke could put it to much better use. Not that he NEEDED some junk.
"Ne ne," said Kakashi, demonstrating the tree climbing skill. "You can work on this while I check out that Waffle Haus."
"What's a 'waffle' anyway?" asked Naruto.
"It's sort of a grilled flatbread that is topped with a number of substances," said Kakashi. "In the Country of Snow, it is a holy food developed and handed down through the ages as a sacrament to one of their local deities. It is believed to repel zombies, ghosts, and vampires."
"Really?!" asked Naruto, now even more curious.
"Oh yes," said Kakashi, not revealing how much was exaggeration or outright BS - easier when most of his face was covered to the extent it normally was. "I'm not fond of the sweet toppings like syrup, but there are one or two semi-traditional toppings that make for a nice change of pace in the diet."
"Holy flatbread?" asked Sakura.
"Don't make fun of waffles, Sakura," advised Kakashi. "Compared to some of the other religious observances out there - this one is both harmless and nourishing. It's much better than, for example, death cultists who want rip your heart out and eat it in front of you while you're strapped to an altar. Those can be quite the pain."
