"If all of us are facing him how are we gonna go about doing this" Kakashi said to Naruto and Sasuke as he lifted his headband revealing a Sharingan eye
"We could field test my Uncle's Latest invention which employs a combination of the concept of the substitution and the Hiraishin" Naruto said pulling out six sets of bracelets
"To work the bracelets We agitate the seal on the bracelets and the next person agitates his and the bracelets switch us" Naruto explains
The Three turn to face Zabuza in time for him to say "ah to face the Sharingan Eye I'm honored"
"Sharingan" Sakura is heard saying
"The Sharingan is what makes the Uchiha clan Special" said Sasuke clone to Sakura
"And Kakashi just so happens to have a Sharingan implant in his left eye" Naruto's Clone said to Sakura
"Let's get this started"
~Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke vs. Zabuza~
The three Fighters and Zabuza are in a Staredown with Zabuza
"I say It is time to Get things started" Said Zabuza taking his Sword out and jumping to a nearby lake
'Quite a bit of Chakra that guy is amassing' said Madara
'Stay on guard Naruto' Hashirama said
"Ninja art hidden mist Jutsu"
The Mist thickened to 1/3 Km visibility
'Naruto If you use your Sharingan you should be fine' Madara said
'and if It's discovered' Naruto said to Madara concerned of being discovered
'Then I guess you'll tell your teammates afterwards' Minato said
'right then' said Naruto as he powered up his three tomoe Sharingan
As Naruto and Company Scanned the surroundings a voice is heard from the Mist which was projected to sound from all directions
"8 points"
Sakura looks around "what was that" initially a little freaked
"Larynx, Lungs, Liver, spine, Jugular, subclavian artery, Kidneys, Heart"
'and this guys a master assassin' Minato said clearly not impressed
'He's missed 17 other ways that'd kill a person instantly' Madara said
'good I'll tell him that'
"Hey Dipshit, You missed 17 other ways you could administer a kill blow"*
"Naruto's right Zabuza and you call yourself assassin"
No spoken words came only a growl
In Anticipation of Zabuza's next move Kakashi whipped up some wind which effectively blew away the mist
Then Naruto sensed some tension not from Kakashi and Zabuza but from Sasuke He glances over to a trembling Sasuke
'Poor kid fist high stakes battle and he's getting first timer jitters' Madara said
'right I'll bring him around' Naruto
"Steady Sasuke We'll get through this" Naruto glances over to Sakura and Sasuke's Clone speaking similar words calming him down to
'Well at least she's starting down the path that is being a kunoichi' Kushina said at the sight of What Naruto saw
There peace was short lived when Zabuza appeared smack in the middle of the manji formation that was of Sakura and Naruto's and Sasuke's Clone
Kakashi was first to react and impaled Zabuza as Naruto and Sasuke tackled the Client to the ground
They tapped in for the clones who then Dissipate
It was a couple seconds after 'Zabuza' was bleeding water it was revealed the Impaled Zabuza was a water clone/substitution
Zabuza then discovered that Kakashi pulled the same trick as he did when he Cleaved Kakashi in two
Kakashi then appears behind him holding a Kunai very close to his neck "Gotcha"
"Oh" said the Zabuza that was in front of him "Looks like I got you
"Sensei Behind you" Sakura said
It was not long until a Kick from Zabuza after a slice had missed him sent Kakashi Sailing through the air
'Kakashi You've gotten lazy I'll need to have words with him later' Minato said to the sight of Kakashi in a water prison Jutsu
"This isn't good" Sasuke said as Naruto Gazed at him
"As skilled as we are Even I have doubts if we can take him down"
"That may be Sasuke but.." Naruto said as he got closer to Sasuke
"Zabuza is arrogant that we won't be a match for him But we may not need to take him head on"
"How do you mean"
"Notice how he maintains that Water Prison keeping Kakashi in Check"
After A brief look Sasuke saw what Naruto was talking about "Oh I see"
(A/N: I'm gonna skip the Zabuza history lesson)
The two fighters rushed The Zabuza water clones that was closest to him Sasuke hung back while Naruto took point with his clones sword drawn the Zabuza's water clone struggled with him for a minute before Naruto was sent flying back
Naruto while sent flying back threw a Demon Wind Shuriken he fished out of his bag To Sasuke
Sasuke whirled round and launched the Shuriken 'a good time to field test this' He went through a series of Hand signs "Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu" as Sasuke said the Demon Wind Shuriken Became what looked to be 10
9 of them shredded one of the Zabuza clones And the last one was zeroed in on the Original Zabuza keeping Kakashi Captive
He caught the first one but soon discovered another one 'Shadow Shuriken Jutsu'
Naturally because his hands were full it was clear Zabuza was gonna get hit
But Zabuza managed a dodge while still maintaining the Water Prison Jutsu
Then Zabuza learned that was a mistake since he spotted that the Shuriken he dodged was actually a transformation that launched a Kunai directly at His arm
Zabuza was faced with a choice either let the Knife hit him and the pain forces him to let go
Or Let Kakashi go
Either choice option was less than likeable; And So He went with what he found the more Preferable than the Other Option Which was Let Kakashi
He tried launching his now captured Demon Wind Shuriken at Naruto
But upon the clang he heard he turned to the sight Of Kakashi blocking one of the Blades with the metal on his gloves
And Naruto quickly made it back to his teammate
"Naruto should we back him up"
"Nah We'd get in the Way Besides he looks to want to get Pay back" Naruto said as he looked towards the fight
(I will not be writing the 'bout this time(But I will be doing Naruto's Perspective on the fight)
~Naruto~
I casted earth Style mobile core to raise us half a meter
As Kakashi Sensei and Zabuza threw Water Dragons at each other
'The Sharingan at it's finest' Said Hashirama as the water dragon clashed
'How true' said Madara with a smirk as the warriors clashed steel
When It came clear Zabuza had approached a stalemate He then hung back to reconsider different approaches
'Looks like Zabuza is gonna try and come up with a strategy' Minato said as they stalemate progressed
'Not that'll do him much good' Kushina said as Kakashi mirrored his moves
After some Mind reading parlor tricks compliments of Kakashi in addition to standard mimicking
Zabuza's starting to lose it emotionally because of Kakashi's antics, and then It happened because the thing that Zabuza saw next was an illusion of him in the sense that he was fighting himself
'Looks to me Kakashi's gonna claim checkmate in this battle' Naruto Said mentally while sounding "hnn" aloud
And Naruto was right because Kakashi copied a Jutsu out Zabuza's Arsenal
"Water Style Giant Vortex Jutsu"
And before long Zabuza was being swept away by A Jutsu of his Origin thus slammed and pinned into a tree
And Just as Kakashi was about to deliver the kill blow "this is the end"
As though out of nowhere two senbon nail Zabuza in the neck
"You're right this was the end"
'Naruto looks like friendlies are here and from the looks of that Mask he's from the Mist's Tracker unit'
Kakashi had checked vitals 'No doubt about it he's gone'
As he flickered down to Zabuza He explained how he was ordered to deal with Zabuza
It was upon the masked man's reaching down and lifting up Zabuza's body Naruto mentally knew
'Naruto's something not right Tracker Ninja are supposed to deal with corpses on the spot' Minato said to Naruto like he recalled something
'I imagine Uncle Maikeru had something to do with that knowledge' Naruto said mentally to his Father
'Naturally' Minato thought with a smile on his face
They turn to the sight of Kakashi collapsing
'Backlash from Sharingan use, it's a common case in the Uchiha and there usually bounce back after a night of rest, but I postulate that since Kakashi isn't of Uchiha blood it'll keep him down for at most a week' Madara said recalling his past with the Sharingan amongst his clansmen
"He'll be alright he just needs rest" Naruto said as he examined Kakashi via. Visually
Naruto then turns to Sakura
"Sakura" Naruto said as he tossed her a book and a Kit from his Bag
"Field medic kit and a Operators manual get familiar there's A Chapter on Sharingan Backlash"
"Sasuke I'm gonna need you on point Old Man Tazuna while I carry Sensei to your house I need you to directly give Sasuke Directions to your House while I follow you, After all We've still a bridge to get you to Don't we"
"Yeah" Tazuna said
"Sakura you'll bring up the rear"
*Cut to the Tazuna house*
About a day or so later Kakashi regained consciousness and nearly shot up
"Whoa, whoa slowly sensei" Naruto said restraining Kakashi to a slow speed
"We're at the clients House, We treated what wounds you sustained and you were resting the entire time" Sakura said
"I See" Kakashi said as he scans his surroundings
A silence permeated the air
"There's been something bugging me"
"How do you mean Sensei" Sakura said
"That Boy there's something about the way he behaved didn't seem right to me"
"So you noticed it to Sensei, as I had as well"
"Huh..." Kakashi said
"It seems we've been had"
"That Tracker Ninja was in cahoots with Zabuza He saved his hide by firing Senbon Needles at the Pressure points in the neck designed to put him into a death like state Which is a simple task for those who received training from the tracker unit, those with an innate knowledge of the Human body, those with a good Medical background, and so on" Naruto explained
"Oh great out of the frying pan and into the Fire" Tazuna said in a Sarcastic tone
"Well I guess it can't be helped" Kakashi said with sigh
"Well If Zabuza's Back and will still be gunning for Tazuna how are we gonna be able to get the upper hand if you're in the condition you're in" Sakura said
"and the beauty of downtime on a mission is most radiant" Kakashi said with an eye smile
"Meaning we train to compensate for you" Naruto said
"not 100% exact since you'll also be doing it for yourselves, but all in all your right" Kakashi said
Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura went down from their room via the Kitchen and Noticed a peculiar picture it was of Tazuna,
Tsunami noticed Naruto and Friends were looking at the picture
She explained that the picture was originally of 4 family members
Tazuna then explained the story behind the reason why Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura only sees 3 not four, and spent the better part of the evening telling the story of How Kaiza Tsunami's late Husband came to the land of waves and after making such a huge impact on Inari's life going from a timid little cub to a happy go lucky kid where it would be a rarity to not see him smiling eventually becoming a Hero who taught the land of waves the meaning of the word Courage
*Cut to the Forest*
As Squad 7 stood in the forest
'I Think now would be as good a time as any to read them in' Naruto said mentally as his Tenants nod
"Sensei before we begin I wish to read you Sasuke and Sakura in on my entire secret" Naruto said while walking forward
"You sure" Kakashi said quite surpised at the suddenness of Naruto's action
"Quite"
Naruto said as he turned to face his teammates 'for dependable friends, a leap of faith is needed, the trust comes later' he recalled Itachi saying to him
"Let me start by asking what you know of the nine tails attack"
"Well it appeared as though out of nowhere, the Leaf village held it off and Lord Fourth Defeated it to put the story simply" Sasuke said
"You are right that is the case in what Lord third wanted you to know"
"But this secret I'm reading you into is well beyond any of your paygrades"
"The Nine Tails still lives"
"How is that possible?!" Sakura said
"Come on Sakura it's practically the first rule of Energy, Chakra is Energy and the Nine Tails is brimming with Chakra, do you honestly think that Lord fourth Hokage could destroy all that energy"
"Well… No" Sakura Said
"Energy cannot be Destroyed only changed into something else, Where in the situation that Lord Fourth was in, Seal it into something"
"You Mean"
Naruto nodded as he removed his shirt and flesh net undershirt and molded Chakra
"Kakashi Sensei I believe you can explain this part" Naruto said as the Sealing formula appeared on his Stomach
"Right, Naruto is the Jinchuuriki of the nine tails"
Sasuke looked at Naruto with some level of Surprise but more confusion
"What is a Jinchuuriki you're probably gonna ask, it essentially means 'Power of Human Sacrifice' Since the formation of the Great Ninja Villages Humans were selected to be vessels for the tailed beasts When the Tailed Beasts were sealed into Humans they become Jinchuuriki, in by doing so they become a powerful weapon for their respective Village, but by becoming a Jinchuuriki you are treated differently to the point where one feels Ostracized from the Village they are supposed to be a part of"
"Which I'm pretty certain you would know nothing about" Kakashi said as though he was speaking to Sakura
Sakura looked away dejectedly without a word
"I had a pretty good idea on that part since Naruto pretty much told me shortly after my family was massacred" Sasuke said as he flashed back to the Hospital
"And there's a lot more too it then just Kurama"
"Kurama" Sakura and Sasuke said simultaneously in a confused tone
"That's the nine tail's real name" Naruto said with an exposed vein in annoyance
"Moving on Kurama is not the only one who calls my body home" Naruto
Sakura and Sasuke widens his eyes a little
"And you are about to meet the four of them I'll start with, for those well versed in Leaf village History a pair of individuals that need no introductions" Naruto said as he did the Clone Sign
"Soulless Shadow Clone Jutsu"
Two Clouds poofed and as the smoke cleared
"Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi Sensei meet"
"Madara Uchiha" Sasuke and Kakashi said simultaneously
"Hashirama Senju the First Hokage" Sakura said
"Better known as the Cofounders of the Hidden Leaf Village" Hashirama and Madara said simultaneously
"and the next Pair I plan to introduce" Naruto said going back to the clone hand sign
Hashirama and Madara moved else where
"Soulless Shadow Clone Jutsu"
Like before two clouds appeared and as the Dust cleared there stood two new figures
"Kakashi sensei since you already know these two I'll skip you"
"Sasuke, Sakura I want you two to meet my Parents"
"Kushina Uzumaki My Mother" Naruto said gesturing to the Red head
"Hello It's pleasure meeting Naruto's Friends and teammates 'Ttbane" Kushina said as she gazed at Sakura and Sasuke
"What a minute" Sakura said recalling the last time she heard ''Ttbane '
"Yes Sakura that was my Mom who blocked your haymaker"
"And Minato Namikaze" said Naruto gesturing to his Father
"Better known as… " Naruto said signaling his Father to show the back of his Haori Coat
"The Fourth Hokage" Minato said point his thumbs at the Kanji on his haori coat
"Well that would explain the hair and the verbal quirks" Kakashi said musing to him
"Initially I thought you an orphan, but from the way you speak about your Parents, is evidence of another thing we have in common despite the actions our Fathers have taken there are parts of them we can't help but respect" Sasuke said with a smile
"Yeah I guess you're right" Naruto said closing his eyes while smiling turning his gaze to his
"I guess I can never look at you the same way again Naruto" Sakura said
"Whether or not you know of my origins is irrelevant, I'm still the same Naruto 'Ttbane"
"Well Now that you know the truth about me, If We're to stand a fighting chance against Zabuza Some are gonna need to train so much in Chakra Control to the point where it is second nature"
"Naruto Since I've seen you and Sasuke walk on water"
"Actually Sensei I volunteer for first shift in guarding Tazuna, You're going back to the House to heal some more"
"Sasuke you're an Uchiha and we'll need your Sharingan"
"It's embarrassing for me to admit I haven't been able to activate it yet"
"That is why I will be training you personally" Madara said to Sasuke
"Me being trained by one of the Uchiha greats Fuck yeah I'm in" Sasuke Said clearly excited at the concept
"And Kakashi when you're well enough I'll be teaching you a few new tricks in exchange for a few of yours"
"All Right Sounds great" Kakashi said
"Sakura while you've shown great potential as a Kunoichi but you've still a ways to go"
"Which is why Hashirama and I will be training you" Kushina said to Sakura
And after that point on Squad 7 minus Naruto Went to Training Naruto after making about 1000 give or take
He first dispatched a platoon of about 20 clones 16 for Perimeter 4 while he and plus 2 clones assisted with some heavy lifting and two clones watched the entrance
The remaining clones along with Minato in a cloaked anbu get up were searching the city and were instructed to pair up and keep tabs on positions where Gato's thugs were spotted and if possible monitor chatter
Since Naruto was occupied with guarding Tazuna
Madara was keeping busy by first activating Sasuke's Sharingan Then through the tree climbing excerise Sasuke's Chakra control improved practically instantly Then Madara went about teaching him one of his signatures Jutsu Great Fire Annihilation, and Great Fire Destruction, and before long Sasuke's Sharingan was at three tomoe's, Madara did feel Sasuke's taijutsu needed some refinement so offense is a Non-Issue so he taught him a couple tricks that helps him trick his Opponent into charging him which turned out to be relatively easy
And as per Kakashi in exchange for teaching Great Fire Annihilation He learned the Lightning blade though Kakashi was reluctant but after Madara Convinced him he wished to teach it to Naruto at a later date he relented
Hashirama and Kushina went to work on Sakura after she cleared 3 trees via. Tree climbing Hashirama went to teaching her Basic Medical Ninjutsu and concluded her training with her learning how to do the healing/diagonostic jutsu, then went to work on working on her physical condition namely her Taijutsu and progressed to the point where she could easily make short work of a thug and make relative short work of a chunin
Kushina went to work fine tuning Her taijutsu to the point where she'd be more than a match for a chunin, and be able to delay a Jonin in the matter of taijutsu for a few minutes and teaching her Some sealing Jutsu namely Storage seals
And before long it was practically the end of the day
Naruto returns to the sight of his teammates worn out sitting at the table
"Damn Naruto Your Mom's a Slave Driver" said a Sakura who was clearly exhausted
"Oh Come on It wasn't that bad" Kushina said like Sakura was making a big deal out of nothing
"said the Uzumaki who might as well hav…." Hashirama said trying to explain how hard Sakura was worked
"What was that" Kushina said snapping at Hashirama
"Erm Nothing" Hashirama said with a Cartoon sweat drop
Hashirama dispelled and Kushina Followed suit
Naruto turned to Sasuke
"So How'd your training go "
"Awesome I'm feeling even stronger than I was before and Man do I have a surprise for you" Sasuke said with grin on his Face
"I'm sure I'll Be Surprised to see it" Naruto said
"Sensei I'll Need a word with you" Naruto said to Kakashi with a serious look 'in a I discovered something big' feel
They were with little warning Inari up and interrupted the two with some according to Naruto 'Bull about how useless their efforts against Gato would be and no matter how much they trained it wouldn't make a bit of difference and how sickening their positive attitudes were'
"In One way Inari you are right if you were talking to ordinary people with nothing special about them, But We're not ordinary We're Ninja and we aspire to be the best, and us to be beaten by the likes of Gato just doesn't sit well with us and even though the odds as you say are stacked against us Our Fighting soul will create Miracles" Naruto said with pride in his voice
"However Miracles from what I've experienced don't occur to Crybabies like you, You little Coward" Naruto said with a Civilian suffocating, Shinobi light intimidation level of Killer intent
"Kakashi Sensei walk with me" Naruto said to Kakashi as he started for the door
"Sakura I recommend you go and get some shut eye because you're on next Watch tomorrow"
Naruto then walks out the door with Kakashi
Sasuke then turns to Inari who was finally regaining his senses he with head hung strolled out the door
Sasuke turned to see Sakura going upstairs, then to Tsunami and then Tazuna who also managed to regain their senses
I then figured it best that I share with him some wisdom and followed Inari outside
As I exit I notice Inari sitting on the edge of the dock
"Can I Join you" Said Sasuke
Inari only nods
"Naruto may be a bit of a hard ass at times, But despite his words he said to you earlier he doesn't hate you, because similar to you he also grew up without either one of his parents and had such a bad time of it He couldn't make one Friend in our whole Village, and as per being treated like dirt Oh man he might as well have been our Village's Punching Bag it was that bad he nearly lost his life a fair amount of times" Sasuke said to an Inari who was surprised that such thing happened to the Boy who pretty much chewed him out
"and like you I also know what it's like to lose someone you cared about and was powerless to stop the one responsible, But the point was since me and Naruto are brothers in the since of knowing what it is like to suffer, We push each other as Rivals so that we can achieve our dreams and we learned the hard way that crying doesn't do jack, so we decided to make our lives better in a way we'll be proud of" Sasuke said standing back up
"That was a lot to take in but it's something to think about" Sasuke said as he went back inside
*cut to the forest a short distance from Tazuna's House*
"Dad wanted to tell you something he discovered during my watch and guard schedule" Naruto said as he made the clone sign
"Soulless Shadow Clone Jutsu"
Minato then appeared
"Hey Dad tell Kakashi Sensei what you told me"
"Right Naruto, that Gato character is going to try and betray Zabuza and that kid" Minato said to Naruto then turning to Kakashi
"you are certain of this Sensei" Kakashi said
"Yes, Yes I am" Minato said "I heard it directly out of his mouth"
"they may be our enemies Sensei but we gotta try and Save them" Naruto said
"You're right and they deserve a little dignity of being able to go after their betrayer" Kakashi said bringing his right hand to his chin to think
The day that Followed was more of what happened yesterday As Naruto and Sasuke sparred with Taijutsu with Hashirama and Madara watching from the sidelines
Minato was assisting Kakashi come up with some way to still get the better all the while sparring with him
After a sound beating by Minato being victorious over Kakashi He was able to come up with something
(A/N: and I figure I toss in another insert)
*Cut to Hinata/ Hidden Leaf Village*
It was yet after another grueling day of missions
Hinata was on her way home when she noticed Naruto's Uncle Maikeru coming out of a shop
"Maikeru sensei" she called out
"Hmm…" said the Namikaze elder turning
"Oh Hey Hinata What's up"
"I've been meaning to ask you Sensei But I never got the chance to, Why did you help me with my relation with Naruto" Hinata said/asked in a confused tone
A silence was in the air between them Maikeru was thinking of something when he opened them with a smile
"I suppose for many reasons, but your Mother is the main reason"
"Mm.. my Mother" Hinata said surprised initially
Maikeru nodded "Can you meet me at the nearest park bench with this in your possession" Maikeru said as he handed Hinata a Hiraishin Kunai
~park bench~
Maikeru made a flash home to grab an item and has at Hinata's side in a matter of minutes
"Get an eyeful of this" Maikeru said as he handed a picture
Hinata accepted the Picture from her and what she saw was of three kids with their sensei behind them
"That's your mom right there" Maikeru said pointing to a white eyed brunette who to Hinata's eyes was quite cute
"Mikoto Uchiha, Sasuke's Mother" Maikeru said pointing to another Brunette
"and the butt ugly blonde you see there is me" Maikeru said pointing to himself
"What are you smoking you look adorable" Hinata said to an embarrassed blush on Maikeru
"Since your Father was stubborn to begin with and the fact that he's the head of the Hyuga clan didn't help anything for you or for anyone else either If your father to see things differently a series of things needed to happen."
"First things was that He needed to think that it was his Idea"
" and If things are to change in your clan you're gonna need all the help you can muster, and with that help you make the clan elders see that the old way of doing things is wrong"
Maikeru notices Hinata about to speak
"I know or have a good idea as per what you're about to say, Why wasn't your father included"
"When I was having lunch with him around the first week your father was crying into some ramen we were having the reason your father was crying was because he had no choice but to go along with the use of the cage bird seal as a method of keeping the branch family in line, because he has no other choice, If he was to refuse and have that seal branded on you and you'd be used as leverage against him or go along with it and you wouldn't be leverage"
Hinata was shocked at what Maikeru had told her
"And I distinctly recall your father saying something like 'I wonder if Hinata will ever forgive me for not being a better Clan head, and even more so to treating her the way I did' or something like that"
"Don't tell your father what I told you"
"and equally important was how your mother played into my decision to help you be with Naruto"
"Our Genin exam was a survival exercise of the three of us living together near a dangerous section of the woods"
"first two days in I was just about ready to quit but your mother wouldn't let me"
"Outside my brother she was the first person to encourage me not to give up, I owed her one and since she's no longer with us that debt fell to you"
Hinata simply smiled at him and glances up at the sky with hope
*Back to the Land of waves*
It seemed like it was gonna be just another day
But Tazuna's day was about to be put through the ringer when he got to his bridge which was nearing completion by estimation a few hours' time
Tazuna, Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke arrive to a initially disturbing sight all of Tazuna's workers were what looked to slain but as they drew closer they noticed no blood
They were only knocked out they were gonna ask the answer was on them
"Zabuza as we suspected he was alive, note what looks to be the hidden mist jutsu" Sasuke said
"Right Sasuke, I guess he couldn't wait for round two"
*Back at the Tazuna House*
Naruto had awoken from a lengthy training session for perfecting his Chakra control
And was enroute to the Bridge when he heard something
He leapt over to the sight of a slain boar
'Looks to be slain by a Sword namely a Katana' Kushina observed
'What's more if you look at the environment it looks to be cut marks on the trees from a person who clearly wants to be found' Madara said
'that direction is' Naruto said
'Gonna rescue them'
'it wouldn't be right if I didn't' Naruto then hiraishin'd into position just in time to see Inari's first act of courage
Inari was charging the Samurai that had his mother they were gonna use as leverage against Tazuna
And just as the samurai were about to slice Inari to ribbons Naruto flashed both tsunami and inari to safety by Hiraishin leap frog (A/n: Essentially Naruto launched a Hiraishin Kunai which Naruto made one jump and snatched up Tsunami while the Samurai weren't looking and then another jump to Inari whisking him away from the blades)
"Thanks for the assist Inari I needed a distraction to save your mom and you" Naruto said to a surprised Inari
"You" said one of Tazuna's thug samurai He turns to the sight of a substitution log
"You're one of the Ninja Tazuna Hired" Said the other thug Samurai as Naruto sent two shuriken
They easily dodged it "Hah is that the best you got"
Only to what they didn't see was the Shuriken transformed into Narutos that were armed with Katana who then ran the two thugs through
"Why Yes, Yes it was" Naruto said to the now dead Samurai
"Occasionally a hero does show up fashionably late and you were awesome"
Inari could barely speak but managed "I'm such a crybaby" Inari said while looking down
"Phooey" Naruto said
Inari looked up
"Tears of joy are nothing to be ashamed" Naruto said grinning
Naruto helped Inari carry his Mother into the House
"well I'm off" Naruto said running out the door
*Back at the Bridge*
Haku and Sasuke had mixed things up and Sasuke easily out maneuvered Haku and sent Haku flying back
And after a clash Haku showed one skill which was weaving signs with One handed
And It was after this Haku wasted no time busting out his second trick
'Secret jutsu crystal ice mirrors' As though out of no where
'This may be a problem' Sasuke said as he activated his Sharingan
Thou Haku was quicker by the tiniest of margins Sasuke despite the Injuries was able to keep up
While that was going on Kakashi and Zabuza were going at it
Despite Zabuza's Ferocity and his anti Sharingan strategy of thinkening the mist
He was getting nowhere fast especially after Kakashi was still baring his way
And before long the stalemate was about to shift again
Naruto had arrived in time to Aid Sasuke in combating Haku
They managed to bust down 2 mirrors thanks to a combo of Fire and wind they learned from training earlier in the Week
But haku wasn't go down easily he prevented Naruto and Sasuke from leaving the dome and managed to knock Naruto out on the Head and despite his Tenants screaming at him to get up and move
Sasuke was able to help Naruto avoid the kill shot
But things were taking a turn from bad to worse
Naruto was heavy and Sasuke wouldn't be able to save Naruto again
But it wasn't hopeless for Naruto and Sasuke
Haku was also approaching her limit one thing was clear
The next moment was going to be pivotal
Without so much as a word nor thought Haku charged at Naruto
Sasuke was quick to notice Haku was aiming for Naruto
He managed to intercept Haku in the air and hammer threw him but Sasuke forgot about the Senbon
The air around the fight was quiet 'till Naruto came to
"About time you came to" Sasuke said to him
Naruto looked up to a sight which he'd undoubtedly remember for all time
The sight he saw was of Sasuke wounded to the point where he will pretty much flat line at any time
"Sasuke Why…"
"did I… save your butt" Sasuke said weakly as thou to adlib Naruto's Sentence
Naruto nods at him
"I suppose… for many reasons" Sasuke said with his eyes closed "But the reason that stands out is you've been like a Brother I've always wanted, since you like me know the true meaning of Suffering, and thou my training with You Know who" Sasuke said while mouthing Madara's name
"You've the better chance of completing my Vengeance againt my Brother" Sasuke
"So You must Promise me… That you will not die here….. " Sasuke said as he collapses
Naruto could hear His tenants trying to calm him down
Normally it would work but the thing was Rage was welling up within him hence His Tenants Voices Becoming Indifferent
(A/N: from this point on because I say so The EMS (eternal mangekyō Sharingan for those who don't know) is what He'll Have, The Powers Naruto will eventually have access to are as summarized Itachi, Shisui (Specifically: Kotoamatsukami), Obito/Kakashi (thou at the Moment Kakashi can't do it yet(Obito technically gave him his so) and lastly Izanagi, and Izanami (all in that general order)
"YOU'RE" Naruto said in a Demonic Voice pointing at one of the Haku Reflections(think Nicholas Cage Ghost rider)"DEAD"
As Haku looked on He saw that Naruto also had the Sharingan like Sasuke but the Sharingan he was looking at was different (For visual Think a cross between Izuna's, Madara's and Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan)
Instants after Naruto's Latest word a chakra rib cage Haku was quick to throw some Senbon only for it to bounce off the ribs
And with a swing of a now materialized Arm it smashed the crystal mirror as though it was glass
The Force from Naruto's Chakra arm pretty much blasted away the other mirrors but it also knocked Haku onto his butt and left his mask in pieces
He looked up to a seething Naruto with his katana mere inches from his head
"What are you waiting for"
"Finally regained my senses and normally I'd want nothing more than to End you but then I'd be no different" Said Naruto calming down all while lowering his Katana
As Naruto Speaks Madara can't help but remember his own Brother Izuna
Minato after seeing Haku's eyes through Naruto's eyes
'Naruto I guess you can chalk up a victory today'
Just as Naruto finished beating Haku senseless Zabuza was faring no better
"Zabuza you are an excellent swordsman, but your blade of choice is the reason why you're losing"
"Your Executioners blade while an excellent blade to be killing with, and possess power with its mass, it is however a poor choice when faced with a more agile Opponent, It is easy to predict the Blades line of attack and after seeing it action twice I already though over multiple ways to render it useless"
Zabuza not wanting to give Kakashi the satisfaction of being right just growled
"Looks like the Demons of the hidden mist is little more than a baby" said a voice from the end of the Bridge
"Gato what are you doing here"
"I can better explain" Naruto said as he Hiraishin'd him, Sasuke, and Haku over to them "He was never going to pay you,"
"That's right your too expensive when it is much cheaper to hire a bundle of Thugs"
"It seems My reason to fight you Kakashi is no more and I've no further reason to try to kill the bridge builder"
"and I figure it to be a good time to mention Sasuke's Not Dead" Haku said
"What" Naruto said
He quickly looked
'He's Right no kill shot the wounds are to Pressure points' Hashirama said explaining the nature of Sasuke's injuries
Naruto called Kakashi over to him as he was steady removing the senbon from Sasuke
He then asked him to prepare a lightning blade in the sense of a De-fib
After one try it worked
Sasuke Gasps "GREAT IZUNA'S GHOST THAT HURT" Said Sasuke in some level of Pain
Madara Just Smirked at the young Uchiha's words
"Okay what's going on" Sasuke said clearly confused by the lack of fighting
"I'll explain later right now we need you Battle Ready" Naruto
After a nod Sasuke was on his feet, and after a quick neck and knuckle crack, and some stretches he was ready
"Kakashi sensei how's your Chakra" Naruto said to Kakashi
"If I were to guess a percentage I would about 65 percent" Kakashi said while thinking to himself
"Zabuza I trust you still have some fight left" Naruto said as though he asked a stupid question
"Naturally" Zabuza said as he hoisted the Executioners blade onto his shoulders
"Haku you wish to partake in what soon will be a massacre" Naruto said to Haku Casually
"That depends on whether I be doing the Killing" Haku said clearly wanting to do as he states
"No because and I share this all of you the Idea I have will down them in One Shot" Naruto said as he thought about his Dad
"You don't mean" Kakashi said
Naruto smiles when he pulls one of his Hiraishin Kunai "Exactly"
This makes Zabuza's Eyes widen
"That's"
"a clue as per whose lineage I belong to"
Naruto laid out his kunai before His Team mates and his Sensei as well as Zabuza and Haku
"Kakashi just humor me since an explanation is needed for those not privy"
Kakashi just nods as Naruto said "all of you direct the Kunai you see on the ground at the enemy all at once and I do mean ALL at once" emphasizing on 'ALL'
Everyone nodded and took their positions and picked up the Kunai
And after 5-7 seconds of Kunai Launching all of Naruto's Kunai were airborne
3 seconds in flight the Kunai were in range
In less than a second pretty much faster than a person could blink
All but one was left standing
"Zabuza he's all yours" Naruto said as he flashed to block Gato's Exit
"Thanks Kid" Zabuza said as he and Haku rushed to close the gap to Gato
And as Gato messed himself in fear of his end
His Head was removed from his Shoulders
"Well that's That" Zabuza said as he walked from Gato's headless body
"So What Next"
"Since I highly doubt you'd be forgiven for your crimes against the hidden Mist village, I am going to say you start over as leaf ninja" Naruto said in a matter of fact
"Will we be accepted" Haku said reluctantly
"You not accepted" Sakura said in a sarcastic tone "Oh please we of the Hidden leaf might as well treat those with Kekkei Genkai as the Jewels of our Village"
"My case and Point can be made with Sasuke I mean he's a Heart Throb to a vast majority of our Villages female Population" Sakura said gesturing to Sasuke
"It's true" Kakashi said
"Okay you've made your case so we'll come with you to the hidden Leaf village" Zabuza said
"Zabuza Be advised due to your past you'll probably have to consent to some Prison time" Naruto said
"I'd be surprised if your Village did over look my past" Zabuza said
They noticed the Entire Village was present and were cheering for their victory
The Rest of the Day that followed was a day of clean up
Naruto saw to it that Gato's assets were used to restore as much of the nation Money will allow as well as his chakra was used to repair any damage
Kakashi disposed of the bodies into the Ocean
Sasuke and Sakura over saw the rest of the protection detail
And before they knew it the bridge was done and opened to the Public
And was named for the individual who restored the meaning of the word courage to the Land Of waves
Naruto Uzumaki, and the Bridge name 'The Great Naruto Bridge' and the secondary line read 'The bridge of freedom which lead us to our new hope'
(A/N: and with that I end the chapter, and until 1/2/2015 I will not be updating)
*I'm not gonna be like I'm a killer or some bullshit but I do however possess a Source of information of how I know so: "25 Methods for Killing With Your Bare Hands - Listverse." Listverse. Web. 30 Nov. 2014. /2007/11/11/25-methods-for-killing-with-your-bare-hands/.
And I figured my above source would also apply to other way as well
