Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6778627/4/"Now, now…there's no need for that, Zabuza. We're not here to fight you; we're here to strike a deal."
Zabuza stared at Kakashi. "What are you getting at?"
"I know why you're on the run, Zabuza, and I know that you have a pretty impressive bounty on your head over in Kirigakure. However, I was not hired to deal with guys like you–you see, this was as far as I was told a C-Rank mission and I'm not getting paid for my troubles. So you understand my unwillingness to fight you." Kakashi explained.
"Yeah," Zabuza said, "I can see where you'd have a problem with that. So what's your counteroffer to me killing the bridge builder?"
"You're looking for investment capital to fund your revolution in Kirigakure," Kakashi explained, "What if I told you that the wealth this bridge brings could be yours and you could hold it all as Kage of the Village Hidden in the Mangroves?"
The attention of Zabuza's ambition was captured like Haku, and the swordsman raised a barely visible eyebrow. "Namikage, huh?"
Tazuna nodded. "This country is small, however it will be super prosperous when this bridge is completed, and it is full of able bodied people looking for work and willing to fight if they have something worth believing in. If you turn against Gateau and help us, Zabuza, you can be guaranteed an army and more than a small share of any profit the bridge will bring."
"Absolutely, and in exchange for any and all cooperation, Konoha may be a little willing to help you with any unpleasantness involving your old village…"
Zabuza grinned behind his mask. "My, my Kakashi…that certainly sounds like a generous deal. I'm curious however, what do you get out of it?"
Kakashi set down Haku. "This one, and his Bloodline Limit. We'll share any viable offspring back with you, but we'd like a few Ice Limit holders of our own."
At that, Haku blushed. To be used in such a way…it was almost risqué.
Zabuza let out a laugh, and folded his arms. "You want to put him out to stud, huh? Sounds fine to me, but I want him back undamaged, got it?"
