Actually, I kind of figured that without Keiunko in the Mizukage's office that day to make him hesite one fatal second, Zabusa succeed and now IS Mizukage, to get him out of the way for a different Wave Country mission - something better suited to whichever team gets sent that way, whether the Tenten-instead-of-Naruto Team 7 or the melee-heavy Team Explosive Youth. It depends on whether I come up with a plot that wants both teams or just one - and enthusiasm aside, I really need to have a plot before I can do too much more of it, because I'd want to do something that lays some groundwork for their fifth or sixth mission (second chronicled) then the Mizuki thing, and then - well, I don't even KNOW unless I have a plot, except that they'd eventually need to get through the chuunin exams. Sasuke would be more reluctant to run with a burgouning attachment even if it is a heavy crush, and Tenten seems too sensible in the little we've seen her to be really cruel to someone already down, so she probably wouldn't tell him off at that worst time and have him go because of a broken heart.
Heh... Well after dark, Tenten wakes to the rattle of gravel at ther window. She uses a compact's mirror to check (Kunoichi, you know? Not going to stick her head in line of sight to get a kunai through it.) and sees who it is, she stows the handful of kunai (WHERE were they again?) and pulls on a yukata (which jingles slightly, like most of her clothes) sighs, reminds herself that he's had a bit of a hard time lately, and hops out to talk some sense into him... again. Kami know she's the only one he seems to listen to...
On the other hand, yeah, that WOULD be just as effective a way of neutralising him early, so Gatou has time to find some other big gun of a missing-nin to send against them, and funny besides.
Griever... Dude! You just saved the Mizukage's life! you're, like, a HERO to the Village Hidden by Mist! Please describe yo' BADself, Mist-jounin style. If opportuinity arises, you get a cameo.
(actually, I'll cameo any of you when I want an extra if you give a description.)
Jealous-spandex-clad-Haku... I can't see it. Well, kind of, but he'd be more happy that Zabusa-san was able to reuinite with some family, I think - Haku pretty much derives all his self-worth from Zabusa's success and happiness.
But damn, what am I gonna do for a plot? I can't just do random ninja stuff and a love polygon in the center, because stories based on adolescent love polygons make my trigger finger itch.

Edited to add pun: I guess you could say that it's crunch time for a plotbunny.What, you think Samuel L. Jackson isn't going to survive the zombie apocalypse?
SERVO: Loook *deeeeply* into my eyes... Tell me, what do you see?
CROW: (hypnotized) A twisted man who wants to inflict his pain upon others.
