The saga of zabuza Prologue.

Zabuza grew up in a quaint little village everyone had fled from due to the fact he was there. He never had a family, friends or Temaris (whatever these last ones were). His greatest dream was to become a famous Zetsu.

The Zetsus were a highly appreciated class of heroes, who spent their entire day at the tavern, pwning Sasuke at poker. But Sasuke was secretly planning his revenge along with his partner in crime, Sakon/Ukon. They wanted to kidnap Zabuza in order to extract the Essence of All Ugliness and Stupidity. With that power, they would be able to develop the perfect and ultimate superhuman weapon: Deidara.

Meanwhile, king Rock Lee had arranged for his daughter, princess Anko, to marry old emperor Naruto from the neighboring country in order to obtain peace. Upset that Naruto wasn't even bringing gifts, Anko decided to run away from home, thus avoiding the dreaded marriage. The only object she took with her was a magical amulet that allowed her to summon Orochimaru during any time of the day (except noon, because then he was on his lunch break).
