This goes for all chapters; I don't own Naruto, I wish I did. I'd be rich. Hmm…

Pairings: NarutoxAlotofgirls (Cuz he's coo like that.) As a side note, I'm still writing my other Naruto story, I'm just a little stuck. The thing is, I also need staff for my C2 'Power and Polygamy' as well as anyone who wants to pre-read my story before I post it. (Is that what a beta is? I'm relatively new to ff, sorry.) if you want to staff or 'beta' post it in your reviews or email me at Thx.

Chapter 1 Illumination

Naruto glared hatefully at the man that had kicked Haku's corpse. How dare he? Haku had given himself up for his precious person. He was so absorbed in his anger towards the dwarf-like man that he almost missed Zabuza's request for a kunai.

"I'm sorry Zabuza-san, but I need it for my own purposes. Kakashi-sensei, stay where you are and don't interfere." The silver-haired jounin narrowed his eyes in suspicion, "Naruto, what are you doing… NARUTO!"

The blonde genin launched himself towards the tiny man and his small army of thugs. Naruto was confident in his abilities, none of the men were shinobi, and so would have little chance against even a genin.

As he charged the group, he inadvertently activated the red chakra again, and his body changed, already turning some of them men into frozen pieces of meat.

Kakashi sighed, he had sincerely hoped that it would have been much later for Naruto's first kill, but it was inevitable now. Not even he wanted to get between Naruto and the thugs. The killing intent emanating from the red chakra hit him just as it had during the boy's fight with Haku, but this time it was different, it wasn't just mindless rage, but more like a righteous rage, directed to killing the man who had disrespected and bad-mouthed Haku.

Zabuza however, had never felt the kyuubi's chakra before, and it scared him pissless. "What is that boy?" He whispered to himself, but Kakashi managed to overhear. "He is Naruto Uzumaki, a ninja who will someday become Hokage."

Sakura looked up from Sasuke's body as she heard her other teammate's warcry, just in time to see the blond begin hacking the thugs apart, red chakra surrounding him like fire. Naruto only occupied her attention for a few seconds before she returned it to Sasuke's still body.

Naruto couldn't be sure what came over him when he charged the army and Gatou. It was like his fight with Haku before. Suddenly his rage and sorrow had been channeled into a feasible energy which powered him more than any food or drink could. His mind was disconnected from his body, observing neutrally as he tore the ragtag group apart. Then movement caught his eye. It was Gatou, trying to escape onto the boat he had arrived on.

Growling fiercely, Naruto ripped an arm out of its owners socket before taking after gatou. He was sure that zabuza and Kkashi could handle the rest.

Gatou was fairly proudof himself with managing to get away while at the same time reducing the number of bodies that needed to be paid. Of course, his victory was short-lived when a feral voice said behind him, "Where do you think you are going, Gatou?"

The man's pulse rate skyrocketed, and he slowly reached beneath his jacket to grasp something. "Why, I'm just going to leave my boy. There's nothing you can do about it, however." "Oh really? I just tore most of your men into little pieces, and they were in far better shape than you. What could you possibly do to me?"

Gatou's eyes flashed as he spun around instantly, at the same time releasing several hypodermic needles. Naruto, stnned by the sudden attack, couldn't dodge them, not when he was so close to Gatou.

The needles entered him in the chest and abdomen, injecting their cargo straight into his system. The last thing he saw before he blacked out was the maniacally grinning face of Gatou.

Kakashi sighed as he sliced open the throat of the last thug. Out the hundred that had arrived, Naruto had possibly killed 80 of them, leaving 20 to himself and Zabuza. Of course, that was nothing to two experienced jounin, not even enough to get their heartrate up.

As he let the mercenary hit the floor of the bridge, he heard a slight wheeze behind him. twirling around, he looked for enemies, but found none. Instead, the chest of the boy he had impaled was rising and falling, with slight jerks. Quickly, Kakashi set about healing the boy. Not noticing that his student was gone.

A half hour later, an exhausted Kakashi and Zabuza were sitting on the bridge, staring at the now steadily-breathing Haku. "It's amazing that he survived," Said Kakashi, "No one has ever lived after I used my chidori on them." Zabuza smiled, "Haku was always stronger than me, in so many ways. Of course it took the ramblings of that blond-haired brat for me to figure it out in the end."

Kkashi stiffened. "Naruto! Have you seen him anywhere!" Zabuza narrowed his eyes and shook his head. "No I was too busy trying to help you with Haku." "Sakura?" the pink-haired girl halted in her rejoicing of Sasuke's new life to respond, "Yes, sensei?" "Have you seen Naruto anywhere?" The girl snorted, "How should I know? The idiot probably overestimated himself again and got himself killed. It doesn't matter, he's just a deadlast, he can't compare to Sasuke-kun!" With that, she glomped onto Sasuke, who only growled in anger at his treatment.

Kakashi suppressed his immense urge to slap the girl. It was a mistake letting her and Sasuke pass. So far, Naruto was the only one who showed true caring towards his teammates. Now, Naruto was missing, and possibly dead. He suddenly felt extremely old. His joints ached and he lost the sudden burst of adrenaline he had gotten upon learning of Naruto's disappearance.

A search party was immediately launched, ut no sign of the blond turned up, save for 5 hypodermic needles that had been discarded onto the bridge.
