Here's an idea I've had for a while...what do you think? It's not very thought trough or anything...but I thought it interesting.

EDIT: I fixed one wrong word, but I think I missed another one... and I can't find it. -.-" Sorry. Tell me if you notice it/them-ish.

Summary: Kakashi got killed at the wave mission, and being who they are, team 7 decided to show their true selves and follow Zabuza around.

Naruto gritted his teeth angrily as he tried to reach Kakashi. The silver-haired man was too confident. Naruto could see Zabuza grin trough the mask of bandages, and then…

It was over.

Kakashi had been careless, and now he was slain, slashed in two by the zanbato-using Zabuza. Naruto blinked. "…Oi! Sakura! Sasuke! Kakashi kind of died…!" He exclaimed.

Haku blinked as Sasuke waved his arm in the air. "Oi, hunter-ninja! Sensei is dead…could you let me out now? I have to mourn…or something." He said, sounding completely different from his formerly silent-angry mood.

Haku tilted his head. "But, what about beating me?" He wondered. Sasuke shrugged. "Why? You're stronger than me. I have to train more first. Besides, why should I? I mean, I don't have any real reason…" He frowned thoughtfully. Haku mutely let the mirrors melt away.

Over with the bridge builder who was mercifully knocked out, Sakura tried to peer trough the mist. "He's dead? Did Zabuza kill him? I can't see anything!" She huffed. In the mist, Zabuza was staring incredulously at the three formerly frightened, determined kids.

Slowly, he let the mist drift away. All three genin looked contemplatively at the obviously dead Kakashi. For one, his eyes were glazed over. Second…he was kind of cut in half. Suddenly, Sakura went to the upper half, and with a slightly gooey sound, grabbed hold of Kakashi's sharinghan.

"…Sasuke? Can I get this?" She asked, almost giddily. Sasuke shrugged. "Sure. Naruto got the fox either way." He said. Naruto huffed. "It would be cool with a sharinghan too, you know!" He complained, and then turned to the two dumbfounded missing ninja.

"Gato's coming. And by the sounds, he gathered up some people…" He informed them with a sage-like nod. Zabuza blinked. "Well…he's probably here to kill everyone…so the deal's over. Wake up the old man and get lost." He grumbled.

Naruto pouted. "But I want to have fun too! Do you have ANY IDEA what it is like to have a crazy demon fox in your head, constantly demanding that you kill?" he demanded. Haku and Zabuza looked incredulously. "What happened to your I'm a ninja, fear my stupidity thing?" Zabuza demanded.

Naruto blinked innocently. "I have no idea what you're talking about." he smiled. Zabuza just shook his head and grabbed his sword, looking at the small army of mercenaries and Gato that just arrived.

"Well, well. Looks like you aren't completely useless after all. Unfortunately-!" Gato made a choking sound, and grabbing movements towards his neck. The same neck that was currently stabbed trough with a kunai. "Oops, sorry! My hand slipped!" Sakura called.

Gato dropped.

The mercenaries shifted. Then one of the braver ones yelled. "They killed our money!" He yelled. The ninjas looked weirdly at him. "How do you kill money?" Sasuke wondered.

The thugs obviously didn't care about his question, considering the fact that they charged. Until the first mercenaries were slain by a flying, spinning sword. The sword somehow span back into Zabuza's hand, and he raised an eyebrow.

"Well, you want to live, you have to fight." He dismissed the three genin. They grinned. Sasuke got a pair of gloves from his shorts, and put them on. Haku watched in interest, seeing almost invisible wires extending from the gloves.

Sasuke leapt up in the air and spun around, hands tracing some sort of pattern. Both Zabuza and Haku looked at him with slight respect when ten thugs suddenly fell apart in a shower of gore.

Sakura bashed her fists together, and then punched the air, towards the thugs. They were blasted away, by two blue-glowing chakra-fists. Sakura grinned. "Shannaro! That's what you get, suckers!" She shouted.

Naruto laughed crazily. "Awesome! Me too!" He yelled, and Haku and Zabuza were left gaping as two gigantic red chakra-claws ripped apart the rest of the thugs.

"Um…we're late, aren't we?" A hesitant voice asked. They turned to see Inari without his usual hat. And a whole crowd of villagers. "…Yup! Good news is: Your grandpa is alive, though knocked out, Gato is dead, the thugs are dead, and Zabuza and Haku are on our side. Bad news: Kakashi died." Naruto shrugged.

Inari looked at the dead silver-head. "…I didn't like him anyway." He decided. Naruto laughed. "Course not! But now he's dead, so it doesn't matter…Hey, where do you think you're going?" He pointed accusingly at the pair of missing ninjas that tried to sneak away.

Haku sighed. "With what have happened, hunter-ninja are likely to be on our tracks soon. We have to leave." He explained sadly. Naruto blinked. "Oh. Okay. Sasuke! Sakura! We're leaving." He yelled. They both nodded without a word.

Zabuza blinked. "Hey now, what-!" He exclaimed. Naruto shrugged. "You killed our sensei, and you're cool, thus, you're our new sensei, whether you like it or not!" He explained with a grin. Zabuza gaped. Inari and Tazuna came up to them, Tazuna with quite the amount of money in his hands.

"You're obviously leaving. Here, take this. And brat? You won the bet. So the bridge will be named The Great Team Crazy Bridge." He pouted. Naruto stuck out his tongue. "Of course I won! And it's an awesome name! You'd probably call it The Super Awesome Bridge Made By The Super Awesome Tazuna. And that just ain't no good!"

Zabuza and Haku were slowly inching away from the blonde. "Oh no you don't." Sasuke smirked as the two were wrapped up in his strange wire-gloves. Zabuza slumped. "Damn." He cursed.

Zabuza grumbled as all five of them left Tazuna's house, though Haku was actually quite happy. He was chatting with Naruto about fighting styles, and their life-stories. Sasuke was walking in silence, occasionally doing some tricks with his wires, making strange shapes and cutting stuff.

Sakura was contemplating new clothes.

Zabuza had to say though, that it wasn't too bad. It did become somewhat lonely with only him and Haku, and three extra sets of skills were quite useful.

"So…where are we going, exactly?" Naruto questioned curiously. Zabuza grunted. "Hideout. It's hidden by a genjutsu just behind those trees over there." He explained. Sasuke activated his new sharinghan, and peered trough the trees. "…Cool." He merely nodded with a smirk.

Naruto grinned and bounced over the trees. "Kai!" He clapped his hands together and the genjutsu melted away to show a gray mansion with a hot spring in the back. "Wow! Awesome!" He cheered. Sakura grinned slyly. "Dibs on the hot spring!" She claimed.

Zabuza sighed. "Dump your stuff inside. Before you run around creating trouble, there are some rules." He said strictly. They obediently did as told. "Hmph.

First rule. Don't attract unnecessary attention.

Second rule. You are not to leave without my permission.

Third rule. Don't show this place to anyone.

Fourth rule. You WILL LISTEN to me. I am the boss, got it?"

Zabuza narrowed his eyes at them. They nodded. "Got it! Um, could Sakura and me get some other clothes? These ones suck." Naruto pointed at his orange tracksuit. Zabuza raised an eyebrow.

"Suit yourself. There are some clothes in one of the drawers." He shrugged, and went to get some food.

Naruto and Sakura hurried to get some other clothes, while Sasuke took off his gloves and put them in his pocket again. Haku looked curiously at him. "What are those, Sasuke?" He wondered. Sasuke shrugged. "Naruto designed them to me. Special ninja wires, crafted with extremely small seals all along them. They're connected to the gloves via seals, and with a small amount of chakra, I control the sharpness, length, and movement." He explained.

Haku looked fascinated. "I see. Tell me, why is it that you all changed when your sensei died?" He asked. Sasuke chuckled. "True personalities and whatnot. Kakashi was caught in the past, and the first time we met him was actually in the park when we were younger. He attacked Naruto for being a jinchuuriki, and acted as if I was a prince. When we heard he was our sensei, we decided to act like we did, if only to not make him attack Naruto again." He said.

Haku frowned. "At first, he seemed like a good man, if a little too confident." he sighed. Sasuke nodded. "Yeah. But he wasn't good in the head. We haven't liked Konoha for a long time either, so when he finally died, we were actually kind of relieved." he shrugged.

"Ah. Well, I can only hope you will be satisfied with your life now. We might not have a lot of money, but I am quite happy. And Zabuza is too, despite how he acts." Haku smiled. Sasuke frowned. "You look too much like a girl. Seriously. Are you sure you're a boy?" He teased.

Haku huffed. "No comment."

Naruto and Sakura found some better clothes.

Sakura had a black halter neck top with silver glitter on. She also had black, cut-up leggings with dark red shorts over. Her shoes were dark red stiletto with straps in front. Her hair was cut shorter, and put up in a ponytail, with her bangs being brushed to one side.

"I have to get some hair dye." She decided, seeing that her hair and clothes didn't fit perfectly. Naruto grinned. "Sure. I think you would look good with dark red hair!" He complimented. Sakura nodded. "Thanks. You don't look too bad yourself." She commented.

Naruto had a crimson wife beater with black markings like letters, only in a graffiti-like way. He also had loose black pants, with crimson markings on the left lower leg. His shoes were more or less only soles, with straps up to right under his knees. His hair was as it used to be, except it was let down in his face as he had his slashed Konoha forehead protector around his neck.

"I know. Much better, right?" He chuckled. They went out to the kitchen, and raised their eyebrows when Sasuke's eyes widened. "Wow. I wouldn't call that change…I'd call it a complete makeover! Any clothes left?" He wondered.

Naruto nodded. "Yup. Wanting something else you too?" He grinned, before going to make himself a sandwich. Sakura looked at Haku. "I look better now, right?" She asked. The feminine boy nodded. "Very. It's kind of a cool and deadly style." He praised.

Sasuke came out with a smirk. "What do you think?" He asked. His two teammates looked him over.

He had a white shirt with some armor on the shoulders and arms, tied together with a simple gray rope. Under the shirt, he had a blue shirt, and armguards. He also had dark blue pants and grayish-black shoes that looked as if they had been braided. His hair was the same, though slightly more unruly, and his forehead protector was gone.

Sakura and Naruto gave a thumbs up. "Nice. Now…Zabuzaaaa! Can't you train us?" He shouted. The annoyed man twitched from where he was relaxing in a couch.

"Fine, brat. I'll test you first." He grumbled.

Former team 7, now known as team Crazy gulped.

"…As long as there are no bells." Sakura nodded sagely. Zabuza and Haku looked weirdly at her.

Sandaime Hokage frowned as he read the message from Tazuna.

"Hokage-sama. I'm sorry to say that your jounin, Hatake Kakashi died in an encounter with a man calling himself Demon of the mist. After all of Wave's troubles were gone, the rest of the ninja team was gone. I wonder if they tried to confront the Demon and his helper.

Either way, none will return back to Konoha, I'm afraid. I will try to find out what happened to them, but don't expect big results. Extra mission pay is in the envelope.

Tazuna, bridge builder of Wave."

"Dead? I knew this day would come…but why now! And then there is the matter with the disappearance of team 7…" He muttered. He sighed, and got a paper sheet from his drawer. "Team 7… gone MIA. Jounin sensei: dead." He wrote.

"Oh, Naruto-kun. I do hope you are alive still."

XXX

"Well, I suppose you aren't too bad. You still need training though. You ever thought of getting some weapons?" Zabuza asked. Naruto panted slightly. "Maybe. I already made those gloves for Sasuke, so he's got weapons…but me and Sakura don't have any, because I didn't have time, or materials." He explained.

Zabuza nodded thoughtfully. "Hm, I think maybe a zanbato or a scythe for the pink brat. You could get a naginata, sword, or something else that goes with your flexibility." He said. Naruto's eyes suddenly lit up. "Oh, I do have one weapon though!" He said, and quickly put his hand in his weapon pouch.

Zabuza and Haku looked weirdly at him when there was a lot of clanging noises, and even weirder when he fished up a crimson and black yo-yo.

"This one! The wire is the same that Sasuke has, and with a small burst of chakra, I can extend some spikes!" Naruto grinned and proceeded to show off against a poor tree, wrapping it with the wire and letting out the spikes.

Team Crazy watched in satisfaction as Zabuza and Haku's jaws met the ground.

Sakura looked curiously at the small board with lots of buttons and a mini-keyboard. "What's this?" She asked. Zabuza raised an eyebrow. "I have no idea. Figure it out, brat." He sighed. Sakura blew a raspberry behind his back, and made a thinking pose.

"What'cha doing, Sakura?" Naruto wondered. Sakura looked at him. "Trying to figure out what this is." She pointed at the board. Naruto frowned. "Try taking the headphones on, and what about, I don't know, moving the buttons?" He suggested.

Sakura shrugged, and put on the headphones. "Hey, these are kind of comfortable!" She exclaimed, before pushing one button down, and turning another one. She started. "Wow, this thing makes music! Or rather, rhythm…" She drifted off and pushed some others, making some more noise.

"Naruto, listen!" She gave him the headphones, and he took them on. "Oh, nice!" He grinned. Sakura grinned too. "Yeah! Those are mine from now on! I'll figure them out…" She got the headphones back and began to experiment.

Naruto chuckled and left the room, to find Sasuke.

XXX

"She found a music-box-thing?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow. Naruto nodded. "Yep. Best not to bother her, she's quite concentrated…anyway, how's it going with the gloves? You mentioned you wanted some fingerless ones…?" He brushed his hand trough his hair.

Sasuke nodded. "Can you fix that without ruining the seals?" He wondered. Naruto scoffed. "Course I can. Give them to me, and I'll have them fixed in no time…Hey Haku! Do you want me to make a weapon for you too?" He asked.

Haku looked slightly surprised, but smiled and nodded. "That would be nice. What about a senbon launcher? I know there are already one, but it's very expensive, and somewhat faulty." He explained. Naruto nodded. "Will do!" He grinned and went inside, leaving the two dark-haired boys outside.

"Naruto certainly wants to help everyone." Haku smiled. Sasuke chuckled. "Yeah, that's just how he is. I bet I would have been exactly like my mask if not for him." He said seriously. Haku nodded. "I would believe that…he's like sunshine, that Naruto." He muttered.

XXX

Zabuza sighed to himself as he looked around. The pink brat was bobbing her head to some rhythm she was making with the strange board, the dark-haired brats were talking, and the blonde brat was doing something with the Uchiha brat's gloves, and something else.

"Why the hell did I allow them to come anyway? I just know something will happen…and I won't like it." He shook his head.

XXX

"…What will our friends say when we won't come back from the mission?" Sakura questioned, having taken a break in the music making. Sasuke shrugged. "Our REAL friends know we wanted to travel around a bit…they won't worry too much. The others…I couldn't care less."

Sakura rolled her eyes. "You don't care about much, anyway. And yeah, you're right." She nodded. Sasuke smirked and was about to say something when he had to dodge a pair of fingerless gloves. "Done! I also put on an extra seal, so they won't get destroyed. They regenerate, kind of." Naruto grinned.

Sasuke huffed and put the gloves on, smirking. "Nice. They're even more comfortable than before. Did you do something to the inside?" He asked. Naruto shrugged. "A thin layer of wool. It's too thin to be of any protection, but it makes them softer." He explained.

Sasuke nodded. "Ah, Naruto? Are you done with the senbon launcher yet?" Haku asked, coming from another room. Naruto nodded. "Yeah. Here you go." He said, and gave the older boy an object. It looked like a wristband, though slightly thicker and longer, and strapped on with leather straps.

On the top, there was an ice-blue seal, and inside it was the kanji for 10. "See, the kanji tells how many senbon are in the seal. With a slight burst of chakra, you can release the senbon, and they will go in the direction you push your chakra. On the 10 senbon you have inside, I have engraved a nifty little seal. It's a chakra suppression seal. So if you hit the enemy with one of those, they'll lose their chakra for up to 20 seconds. No longer, though." Naruto explained.

Haku looked awed. "Naruto…just how good are you at this?" He wondered. Naruto shrugged. "Eh, good enough. I've read a lot of books. And trained a lot." He added. Haku still looked awed. Naruto smirked. "Try shooting a senbon at Sasuke." He suggested.

Haku immediately flung his arm towards Sasuke and with a burst of chakra, sent two senbon flying. Sasuke yelped and dodged the first one, but was hit by the other. "Wah! Chakra…gone! That's…uncomfortable." He whined. The others laughed, and Haku got his senbon back. "It seems I must control the strength of the chakra to get as many that I wish…?" He nodded to himself.

Naruto grinned. "Yep. You have great reflexes and natural talent, but you should train…"

From the kitchen, Zabuza rolled his eyes at Haku's giddiness.

XXX

"Listen brats. You go train, while Haku and I go around looking for job offers. Do NOT go outside the genjutsu. Got it?" Zabuza glared. Team Crazy nodded. "Got it! Train inside the genjutsu." They all said in perfect synchronization.

Zabuza sighed and they left, Haku with a smile and a wave to his friends.
