Bold Italic text : Kyubi speaking

Last time in Konohano Hospital : While Naruto lay in bed he explained to the group all that he could, about what had happened to him. They where glad that the fox had been defeated and gone willingly, but some questioned if the fox was telling the whole truth and if it where safe for Naruto to suddenly be so trusting of the fox...Though none voiced that opinion. After a period of time had passed Kakashi had and idea and pulled out a all white rectangular shaped thin piece of white paper. The appearance of the paper caused a noticeable reaction from all the adults present. Kakashi quickly instructed Naruto to channel chakra into the paper. When he channel his chakra into the paper everyone was shocked and adorned curious or awestruck looks. Ten seconds of complete and utter silence and no reaction from the paper at all. Then without warning something amazing happened that no one present had ever seen heard of nor expected.

Chapter 3

The paper was cut into two perfect Halves, while the paper dropped to the floor it started to burn. Before the paper was completely burned the fire started to move in the opposite direction and the ash became paper once more. While the rooms occupants where contemplating what had just occurred the two halves of paper reattached themselves and there on the ground was a perfectly white piece of paper that had no signs of ever being burned or cut.

No one knew how to proceed The hokage broke the silence

"Naruto could you please ask the fox what the means I do not think anyone here does. "

Sure Jisan" Naruto mentally asked the fox and received his answer in similar fashion once he understood he proceeded to explain to the adults in the room. "Well Kyubi san says that I have always had a strange affinity with wind." "He told me that sometimes when I was being beaten as a child"

The looks on Jiraiya's and Kakashi's face Hardened when they heard Naruto say beaten as a child as if it was something normal and he was just telling them the weather. None of them stopped him as he continued...

"The winds would pickup around me and sometimes I would even slightly elevate though I never realized it and nether did the people who beat me, they where to busy beating while I was to busy bleeding." anyway because I had such a strong affinity for wind and it has always been a part of me it is my first element. "Kyu said that is why the paper was split in half. Heres where it starts to get strange." the young boy continued.

"When I took on the responsibility of the guardian of the Flame I gained the ability to fully command Fire and Bend it to my will." "I can control Fire with barely any effort and no hand sighs." "Because of this strong affinity one would think that I would be aligned with fire first but this is not the case." "My affinity are wind first fire second." "Kyu said that the last part of this is very bizarre and not even he had ever heard of anything like this." "He is not positive but pretty sure why the paper took so long to respond to my chakra, and why after it was sliced and burned it was able to revert to its previously unblemished form." "Kyu thinks that even though I'm aligned to fire and wind so strongly my chakra does not reflect that." "Actually he says my chakra appears to be totally neutral."

"He has never heard of a man spirit or god with neutral chakra, and said that the only reason why this is possible is because 90 percent of my bodies natural chakra resided in the seal my whole life." "Inside the seal my chakra was always being purified just like the Kyubi's chakra was , but my infant chakra was pure and untainted." "Because of that it was able to develop fully neutral." "Kyubi says that until I learn to control my chakra it will be impossible to test his theory but he would be willing to bet that is the way it is." "Until he is able to test his theory he does not want to tell me more about this but he says that if he is right that all of you should know what that means." "The only other thing he says it could be is that it was one of my mutations." Everyone in the room to a deep breath as if punched in the stomach and had the wind knocked from them.

"Mutations?, what do u mean mutations and how many are we talking about?" Asked the worried hokage.

"Actually I am not sure and neither is the kyubi it was a side effect of me being exposed to the Kyubi's chakra." Naruto told them that his body may have changed in some ways and that he was not sure how or what it would mean. Naruto thought to himself how to tell them this next part and feared they would be angry but began to speak all the same. "I was not the only one who was exposed to the Kyubi's chakra."

Before anyone could question him Naruto told them that many people in the village had received an accidental gift or chakra from him. He explained the possibility creating new kekkei genkai or improving existing bloodlines. It was also possible that anyone in the village could have an increase in there chakra capacity. None in the room seemed to be displeased and the hokage asked Naruto if there was anything else which they should discuss he was about to say no when the Kyubi reminded him that he needed to obtain his zanpakuto. The Hokage agreed to sending him and Jiraiya on a mission as long as they where back within in a week and they promised that they where not going anywhere dangerous. They agreed to the terms and decided they would leave tomorrow so they would be able to return as soon as possible. Before the he ended the meeting the Hokage had one last request.

"Naruto if you feel up to it I would like you to spare against Kakashi to see if there has been any noticeable changes to your body." "We all know you cannot currently no use chakra so Kakashi will not either, this spar with be purely Taijutsu." "Is that agreeable to you Naruto kun Kakashi san" both men nodded and Naruto stood up to stretch. When Naruto stood up for the first time everyone in the room could see one change Naruto body had gone through.

Naruto stood five feet away from from Kakashi. Kakashi was in his normal attire reading his Ichi Ichi book and pervertedly giggling time to time. Naruto was talking to Jiaraya. If the people present did not know of the incident they would have sworn Kakashi was about to spar his old Sensei Minoto Namikaze, not his student Naruto Uzumaki. Naruto had grown a great deal in height he was now standing level headed with Jiraiya. His blond hair while still spiky on the top was longer and reach down his back. Due to the change in size he could no longer wear his normal cloths so Sarutobi had graped him a standard all black anbu uniform which he now wore in place of his normal "Kill me now here I am" orange jumpsuit. Though he was tailer he had a similar stature but with one noticeable difference, every single spot of his body was a muscle. He appeared to be muscle over muscle, but not over bulky muscle it was all lean and extremely toned muscle. The only other obvious physical appearance was that the Whisker marks on Naruto's cheeks had apparently disappeared. From the way Naruto was stretching he clearly had far more flexibility it would appear to the naked eye that he was now more flexible then most kunoichi.

Jiriaya was standing in front as soon as he said begin Naruto took of at a speed that was easily faster then lee with his weights off. If Kakashi had not been rivals with guys he may have been in trouble despite his superior taijutsu skill. Kakashi was not a acclaimed Jounin for no reason and he was easily always one step ahead of Naruto no matter how fast Naruto or powerful Naruto was he could not touch Kakashi.

The Hokage nodded to Jiraiya and the toad Sannin steeped between them and stopped the spar. This was a humbling experienced for Naruto he believed with his new power he would be a match for Kakashi. Never mind a match or him he was not even able to touch him. It was in that instant that Naruto realized that he was not all powerful no mater how much power he possessed. He would have to work just as hard as he always did if not harder.

"Ok Naruto it appears your stamina is even greater then it ever was." "Your body is larger and stronger as well as allot more flexible and much faster." "Do you agree with my assessments?" The Hokage asked Naruto.

Naruto nodded in agreement and added "It also seems like all my senses are sharper I can hear, see, and smell better."

Later that night the Hokage was finishing a meeting with his advisors and the Ninja council. The topic of decision was how to determine if anybody had developed any new bloodlines and or new/stronger powers. It was decided that once Naruto and Jiraiya left that there would be a tournament held in the village. This tournament was to take place under the guise of goodwill and promotion for the upcoming chuunin exams. Once it was decided that this was the best way for the ninja population, they next wondered what to do with the civilian population.

It was the head of the Hyuuga Hiashi, who had a idea to deal with this issue. He stood as he began to speak. "Honorable Hokage respected council I Hiashi Hyuuga have a proposition on how to deal with the civil population." He waited to make sure he had everyones attention, once he felt all eyes on him he continued. "Many of the Civilians are nothing more then failed ninja who could not make it through the ninja academy." "Most want nothing more then to follow in the tradition of the ancestors and fight along side there brothers and sisters under the banner of Konohano." "I say we open that door for them once again" " I propose a one day tournament the day after the shinobi tournament where the strongest of the civilians are selected to join the shinobi ranks." he took his seat once he finished speaking

"A wise solution Lord Hyuuga if we take this route not only will we know who has increased in strength but we would also start to assimilate them into our forces immediately." "I as Hokage agree with this course of action, do any here appose it." He waited to give people time to interject when no one did he continued. "Good then on to our final piece of business what to do if any of the foreign shinobi, mainly the sand ninja have absorbed some of this power." It is my belief that right now we can do nothing but observe and see if any manifest any remarkable abilities or appear to have grown a unreasonable amount in strength in this short amount of time." I do not see any other course of action for us to take now I am just grateful that it was our allies and not an enemy village like Iwa." Everybody around the chamber nodded in understanding and agreement. "Well if there or no other matter to attend to the Shinobi tournament will be the day after tomorrow and the Civil tournament will be the day after this Meeting is now adjourned."

"I can't take it anymore all this pain" "No matter where I go or who I see its all the same." "In all my long years the only constant in my life is pain". "They all suffer, they all feel Pain. Even my brother was stolen away from me again the pain is unbearable. The pain all this pain. Pain is the only emotion well share. It is through that Pain that we grow. I see now all the Pain was not for nothing, there Pain was for me so I could evolve. Do you not agree Youkukitsu.

Naruto woke up in a cool sweat as soon as he opened his eyes he forgot what he was dreaming about he closed his eyes and went back to sleep. In Naruto's mind scape "so it has started already" Kyubi thought to himself.

All around Konohano people where preparing for the upcoming exams

Shikamaru was sleeping.

Sauske was working on chakra manipulation to start his training on Chidori

and Shino and Neji where at there clans compounds training with there
kekkei genkai's

While all of the other Konohano nin's who where in the upcoming tournaments where training in there own way Naruto was just about to start on his mission with Jiraiya. While walking out of the gate Jiraiya asked Naruto where they where headed. Naruto replied honestly that he did not know and asked the fox via his mental link where they where going. when the fox told him the land of waves Naruto said out loud "no you cant mean." The Kyubi interjected "Thats right Naruto we are going to get Haku."

Naruto and Jiraiya where walking around. They had gotten to there destination in less then a day since they where traveling un fatigued and at shinobi speeds. When they first entered the city Naruto and Jiraiya alike where shocked to see a statue of a short Naruto standing proudly with his thumbs up to the sky in his nice guy pose. On the statue there was an engraving which read Uzumaki Naruto of Konohano no sato the Saviour of the wave and one who gave us the strength to fight back. Naruto was choked up this was what he had been waiting for his whole life he was finally acknowledged. He felt a feeling inside of great warmth and happiness. He made a silent oath to himself that one day the people of Konohano would view him as there Saviour and he would feel this great warmth in his village also. Jiraiya was surprised Naruto had made such an impression with these people already at such a young age, but made no such remark.

While they walked around the city Naruto was delighted to see that things where quit different now. There where many more people walking the streets now most wore jovial faces and walked around happily without a care in the world. There where many shops, and to Jiraiya liking even adult established such as bars, and... other places. The time when Gato ruled here was nothing more then a memory of a bad dream in the backs of the minds of these people. Naruto was proud that he played a role in bringing about this change.

"So Naruto have you come to a decision on what we where talking about before" Naruto had no clue what Jiraiya was talking about. Jiraiya deadpanned. "We where talking about this for more then a hour." Flashback: Naruto and Jiraiya where almost in the land of waves Jiraiya was preaching to Naruto about the joys of Sake and women, Naruto was just nodding his head while he was having a conversation with Kyubi. In Naruto's mind scape "So you see Kit A zanpakuto is formed when a spirit and a blade are merged." "This merge is usually forced through seals, if the spirit does not go into the sword willingly." "If the spirit is forced into the blade it takes the wielder years to master the blade." "The reason for this is the blade can't reach its full potential unless it acknowledges its wielder as its master." "Not many realized that using a zanpakuto and mastering it are to separate things." "There have even been cases where the wielder did not even know the name of his zanpakuto so was never able to speak to the blade." "If a spirit is sealed willing it is much easier to control." "Sometimes under special circumstances the spirit accepts being sealed into the blade, and has already accepted the swords wielder as his/her master." "When this occurs a small part of their souls assimilate." "This merge allows the spirit inside the blade to come before its master in its mental plain in the same manner we are speaking now." "It has been rumored that when someone obtains true mastery of the sword the soul sealed in the blade can manifest itself in the physical word giving its master much more power." "Because you knew Haku in life and witnessed her death, it is my belief that the two of you will form some sort of bond, and Haku will infarct accept your will and you as master."

"Zanpakuto keep the chakra and elemental affinity of the soul sealed within them, if Haku's spirit is in fact in wave and agrees to be sealed you will have a powerful blade with the power to command ice." "A zanpakuto is able to use many of the same abilities as they used in life in there original form." "The only restriction is the master needs to command the blade to trigger the attack by first calling the blade by its name then screaming out a trigger word and the name of the attack." "This trigger word is usually something that the soul had extremely strong feeling for in life." "When that memory is trigger the sword becomes overwhelmed with emotions that it had forgotten, then when its master screams its name and the name of its attack the blade attacks with full force."

"This attack is know as a first stage spirit release and one must know its blade very well to be able to use this form of attack " as kyubi finished his long winded explanation of zanpakuto Kiso popped into existence in human form and handed Naruto a Blade. Some how Naruto recognized him in this form took the blade thanked him and sent him on his way all before Jiraiya had finished talking. He turned around and tried to listen to what Jiraiya was saying, but right as he was turning Jiraiya jumped in front of him and asked "So kid what do you think?" Naruto looked at Jiraiya and said "I do not know let me think about it?" End flashback

Naruto had just found Haku's spirit he explained to her the situation and Haku was more happy then the become Naruto's new tool. Naruto was a little unconformable with how happy Haku seemed to be with becoming a sword and helping him achieve his goals. He thought to himself silently that it would be a better situation then what Haku was faced with now and knew he would be a better master then Zabuza was. They both agreed and right as Naruto was about to start the incantations Haku yelled out and stopped him "Wait what about Zabuza" "What do you mean what about Zabuza?" Naruto wondered out loud. As if answering his question the specter of Zabuza stepped out of the shadows and greeted him with a "Hey brat." "I would also like to follow Haku lead" Zabuza started. "You see when I died so did the soul in my blade." The zanpakuto over my grave is now just a regular sword I wish to be sealed to it to help you and Haku."

It had been a day since the sealing Naruto and Jiraiya decided to stay another couple days in the wave. With two Zanpakuto that controlled water Naruto figured wave was a natural place for him to train. Jiraiya on the other hand wanted to do more research on how the Native women kept there Bikini bodies all year round. Naruto knew he needed to get to know his Zanpakuto more if he wanted to control them better and have a chance in the upcoming finals of the chuunin tournament.

Naruto Had learned much about Haku in the last couple of days. But his mastery over the sword had barely changed. Though he had learned much of Haku since Haku was wiling to tell him he had learned nearly nothing about Zabuza. When ever Naruto asked Zabuza a question the response was always the same. "There is nothing in this world that I care about one way or another I am a ninja as such I have no emotion." Zabuza told Naruto repeatedly. Naruto had given up on learning more about Zabuza for now so he decided to focus on Haku. No matter now much he learned about Haku or how hard he trained it seemed like he made no progress. He even learned that Haku was a girl and Zabuza made her pretend she was a boy because he believed women were weak. He learned that Haku never wanted to be a Ninja but it was Zabuza's wish so she followed her master. Waking up Naruto knew that today was his last day in the wave. Anything he wanted to accomplish in wave had to be done by today because tomorrow when he woke they would have to go back to Konohano. He made a deal with himself to train all day without break.

That morning the Kyubi gave him a bit of advice. Kit Grip Haku and ask about a happy memory though u while receive no answer you should get a vision of that memory. Naruto did what he was told and saw Haku sitting under a Sakura tree wearing a happy smile. She appeared to be very young as the leaf's fell on Haku from the Sakura tree above her she would catch them and throw them into the wind and let the wind scattered them. Haku's eyes where focused on her mother watching as she danced Naruto saw a smile on Haku's face and in the smile he saw a happiness like none he had never know or seen before. He knew this was surly among the happiest moments of Haku's life. Now all he had to figure out was how to use the information he had just learned.

Naruto already knew Haku's favorite attack was Ice release Senbon as he had seen here fight and it was basically all she used. He know the Ice release senbon would be an attack Haku would preform if Naruto commanded. Now he needed to figure out a trigger word to wake Haku's sleeping emotion.

He though back to the scene he had witnessed between Haku and her mother, he know that something from that memory could deferentially trigger The spirit release. He tried many different commands using pieces of information from that day but much to his dismay nothing seemed to work.

Naruto had trained all day long. It was dark and night was upon the land of wave. Naruto was very tired but still training by the ocean. Naruto heard what sounded like distant voices and strained his enhanced ears to hear more. He could hear the sound of many people approaching in the darkness. As they got into eyesight he saw that they whore headbands with the mist symbol and they where all armed. He could smell blood alcohol and sweat on them, Naruto knew he was in trouble there where at least 15 of them all ninja. He knew his only chance was to get to the the pervert Sannin as fast as he could. Naruto turned to run when he sensed danger. He dodged just in time to avoid several shuirken.. "Well well well what do we have here a large man asked the group mockingly." He wore tradition Ninja garb which seemed to favor the color blue and had a katana strapped to his back, the man was tall and well muscled. he seemed to be the leader of the mist nin. "Some Leaf punk all the way out here to help the poor people of wave" a random mist nin said "The last leaf punks who where here killed a man named Gato who gave allot of business to the mist" another random nin stated "Now we have some in search of riches and women as retribution." The leader told Naruto. Naruto stiffened there was no way he was gonna let that happen. He looked the leader dead in the eye and told him. "Over my dead body" The man responded with a deranged smile on his face "Gladly" 5 minutes later Naruto was starting to realize this was an exercise in futility. While his speed allowed him to avoid most of there attacks he had no means by which to fight back.. The mist where know for there swordsmen and Naruto knew next to no Kinjutsu so that was out of the question. His taijutsu was not nearly strong enough to fight of so many enemies, something had to give or he would soon meet his death. He was just hoping one of them use a fire attack but that was not to be the case. Naruto was starting to get disheartened when the Kyubi spoke to him "Kit you and Haku have a bond your souls where merged couldn't you feel the difference from when you sealed Haku and Zabuza." While Naruto admitted it did feel allot different he did not understand how or why. He and Haku barely knew each other what type of bound could they really share? The Kyubi once again gave Naruto good advice he told him to ask Haku to truthfully tell him what she was thinking about the moment when she died. Naruto asked in between dodging weapons and ninja, and Haku reluctantly answered. "I wanted to show you the true meaning of strength and what it means to Protect what was import to you." "I died thinking about my ideal and hoping you would understand what I was telling you in the forest." When he heard those words it was like a light was turned on and Naruto's whole wrong changed. Thats right he thought to himself I gotta protect these people if I let them pass who knows what they would do to them. He thought about the Old drunk Bridge builder. He thought about the happy faces of the villager and the statue they had made for him, but most of all he thought of Inari. The look on his face changed. Thats right the wave considers me there greatest hero if I do not save them who will. He looked to his assailants and spoke. "Hey guys sorry I'm late but I once told a friend or mine that a hero always comes late, so here I am. As he finished his little speech he jumped in the Air and screamed "HAKU" as he yelled her name Haku began to glow a whitish blue "ICE REASE SENBONSAKURA!" Once Naruto said Senbonsakura Haku began to scatter and form into sever ice senbon needles shaped like sakura leaves. They seemed to take shape everywhere more then the eye could count. The sakura senbons floated around the mist nins at furious speeds it was a beautiful but obvious extremely dangerous display. Before any of the mist nins had a chance to figure out what was going on Naruto yelled DANCE HAKU all the needless began moving at even greater speeds they moved so quickly that the eye could not follow them. Within half a second Haku was back to here original form in Naruto hand and the mist nin lay on the floor bloody and dead.

On the walk back to Konohano Naruto was trying to reach a new level of understanding with Zabuza but kept hitting a stone wall Zabuza seemed void of all emotion. Naruto already tried holding Zabuza while saying happy happiness love family and anything else he though my trigger emotion with Zabuza but nothing it was like the sword never had a emotion while he lived his life as a man. It was then that he was reminded of what Zabuza was like in life. He grabbed the bladed and thought to himself Hate a vision came to him of Kakashi with a bloody red hand. It wasn't a long vision like when he watched Haku it was barely a flash, more like quickly viewing a photo rather then watching video. Naruto was confused at what he saw but did not know how to approach Zabuza with this information.

When Naruto and Jiraiya came back into the village they went straight to the Hokage tower. They told the hokage about there mission how Naruto had obtained two blades instead of one, and how he used Haku's powers to defeat several ninja when he really needed to. Sarutobi was happy to hear this news and proceeded to tell them all the events the took place while they where gone mainly the results of the two tournaments. It seems that there are where at least ten Villages who where effected by the chakra. 10 citizens who had little to no chakra now have mid gennin level chakra and where able to demonstrate there skills and gain acceptance into the ninja ranks. It should be noted that all 10 had failed th academy 5 times before they where removed from the roster of ninja candidates, but yet the managed to obtain the skill seemingly overnight. From our ninja we had some nice surprises as well. From the Jounins Kakashi and Asuma have gained allot chakra and power. How much is yet undetermined as they both had to hold back a great deal against lesser opponents Also one Hyuuga shouno reported greater ability with his keke genkai From the Chuunin rank Iruka Umuino seems to now have high Jounin level power now. Many other chuunins seemed to have more chakra also but not enough to note a drastic improvement.. From the Gennins Neji Hyuuga. He gained the most out of everyone his chakra is much more powerful and he has allot more of it. His keke genkai has also seemed to ... evolve. The only other creature worth mention is Kiba Inuzuka's nin dog Akamaru. He two has transformed. From the reports he is now large enough for kiba to ride on him easily and the dog now posses two times the amount of chakra as his master. Somehow he has gained the ability to speak. Naruto was happy he helped so many people but wished he had helped more people somehow.

He was also a bit nervous that out of all people it had to be Neji, his opponent in the upcoming exams who gained the most. The hokage even went as far as to say Neji had evolved. Naruto cast these thoughts from his mind when he heard the Hokage tell him. "Naruto there is one more thing I would like to talk to you about, that is your heritage." Jiraiya choose this time to speak. "I have told him of both of his parents and he understands why he was not told until now." "He is also aware of what he stands to inherit from him." Very well thank you Jiraiya" the hokage replied casually and continued "Naruto is there anything you wish to ask me about regarding what you have learned of your family." Naruto appeared to be looking to the heavens deep in though he focus with the third Hokage's and told him "No Jisan I'm happy that I finally know but it is so much all at once." "After the chuunin exams are over I would like to sort out this issue when I have less on my mind." "A wise decision Naruto I see you have been growing already, very well I agree to speak to you further after the exams but be advised at some point we will to announce this to the village." Naruto turned his back to the two old men and as his frame passed through the door he answered "I understand Hokage Samma" Both Jiraiya and Sarutobi where surprised by the formal response from Naruto, but they did not discuss it further.

The sun was starting to set and Naruto was ready to go home. Zabuza kept complaining to Naruto through the mental link that he wanted a sheath. Something about he didn't like the way the light reflected off him. After listening to Zabuza complain he decided to just go and buy th dam sheath. When he he got to the store he saw a familiar face behind the desk. Hey Naruto what can I help you with a friendly voice asked he followed the voice to see Ten Ten behind the counter. "Wow Naruto you sure grew up fast" she said half jokingly before Naruto responded Ten Ten's vision was diverted and she caught sight of the two blades Naruto was carrying. A hour later they where finally done talking about the blades and Naruto's height. Naruto told Ten Ten that he had a growth spurt and she did not question him, she was more worried about Naruto's new "toys" Naruto explained to the girl that he really needed to be going now and Ten Ten quickly helped Naruto get what he needed.

He was about to leave when something caught his eye. "Ten Ten that hold ancient looking sword do u know anything about it. Ten Ten looked saddened but answered all the same. "Yes Naruto this is our family's sword." "Legend has it that there is a hidden power which is locked Inside this sword." "The legend says that this swords power was unparalleled and no swordsman could stand against." "Though the sword was very powerful it was said that a even stronger power laid hidden deeper in the blade." "A long time ago it was stolen from my family and we did not posses it for hundreds of years." "Later generations reclaimed the sword as there own but the power was looked inside the sword, because over time we lost the knowledge to wield any of the swords power." "It became just like any sword and a family heirloom to look nice hanging on a wall, and a topic of conversation in the rare cases such as now when someone actually notices it." Naruto was no longer listening to Ten Ten she had lost him long ago currently he was talking to the fox about the sword and what he should do. I understand he told the fox mentally and then he looked to Ten Ten with a determined look in his eyes and asked her "Ten Ten do u trust me?" Ten Ten answered after only a few seconds

"Yes Naruto but why?" "Because I am about to ask you to do something that sounds crazy but if you do as I say you will see why I asked you to do it." As Naruto instructed Ten Ten had her family blade in her hand she held it out and said "Toenechi please help me become strong." She was shocked when the Blade responded "How good it is to hear my name again of course I will help you young one."

Several days went by Zabuza taught Naruto Kinjutsu by day while he trained with Ten Ten and at night the Kyubi trained Naruto in the sealing arts and Kido. It had been 2 weeks since Ten Ten first spoke to her family zanpakuto. She soon realized that thought she had never spoken to it before the blade was always around her as she grew up and the blade already regarded her as family, so she learned how to wield it quickly. Naruto had learned everything he could from Zabuza he knew all the sword grips and stances. He now needed to put them together to form his own style. As Naruto thought of what the Hokage said he wondered to himself if he could find the strength to match Neji. He did not enjoy the prospect of facing the Hyuuga genius while using no ninjutsu. If only he could use his shadow clones he knew he could win for sure, but sadly he could no longer use the technique. He figured the only way he could get stronger fast was to learn how to use spirit release with Zabuza. He had spoken about Kakashi to Zabuza many times and every time Zabuza said the same thing he didn't give a dam about Kakashi and he could care less the Kakashi was the one to kill him. Since he was getting no where with Zabuza he decided to go and talk to Kakashi.

Using his improved senses Naruto found Kakashi training Sauske easily. He asked Kakashi to have a private word. Once he was far enough away from Sauske he asked Kakashi what he was thinking when Zabuza died. Being caught of guard and not knowing Zabuza was currently on Naruto waste he answered honestly " To tell you the truth Naruto when Zabuza died all I felt was sorry for him" Zabuza was caught completely off guard when he heard this but said nothing. "You see Naruto I killed his student, I killed his student right before his very eyes." "As I saw Haku drop to the floor from my Chidori all I could think about is me watching Sauske, you, or sakura dieing by Zabuza's hands." "Naruto it was torture something I would not wish on my worst enemy." "As Zabuza was dieing I was thinking how I wished Haku had lied on." "Ever since that day I say a prayer for Haku and Zabuza when I go to the memorial stone." "So it was him" Zabuza said thought the mental link. "Every single day me and Haku would hear someone praying for us and wishing us well." "We did not recognize the voice and could not think of anyone who would actually pray for us." "The whole time it was him."

"Hey brat I know I said I would help you, but I think I can help you better by Kakashi's side." "As I died he was thinking the same thing I was and he even thought to pray for us both." "My soul is truly binded to him and he will be able to wield me for he understands me the same as you do Haku." "Did you ever notice that if you put Haku down you can still speak with her." "With me that is not the case if your flesh is not touching my blade we can not hear each other, Brat me and you we where just never meant to be." Naruto agreed with him and after explaining the whole situation to Kakashi he passed him the blade as Kakashi came in contact with the blade he whispered "I see." In one motion Kakashi cut the air in front of him in a horizontal swipe and whispered under his breath "cry Zabuza." At Kakashi's command the heavens themselves opened up and down came a mighty rain of chakra soaked water. Naruto knew he made the right decision giving Kakashi Zabuza.

Thats right there will be some bleach themes mixed in as well I do not think that I am going to Have any of the Bleach characters in this Fic but you never know. Those of you who are bleach fans think back to when Ichigo First was learning to control his spiritual energy. He was letting out such a enormous amount of spiritual energy that his friends where able to absorb some of that power. This power gifted to them unknowingly unlocked hidden talents that lay dormant with in. That is where I first got the idea for Naruto's strong chakra to have a effect on others in this fic. AS far as Haku's attack Senbonsakura it was just to hard not to, It is basically the same attack as Byakuya Kuchiki's Senbonzakura from Bleach, except is is a ice attack. BTW that attack at the end of the chapter it was not zabuza's spirit release, it was just an attack Kakashi was able to use through Zabuza. From now on the story will follow the Manga more now that the differences between the normal Narutoverse and this AU have been more clearly defined. This will be the last chapter released before Beta I have other chapters written but I think the story is suffering due to Lack of Japanese names in places I want them, poor spacing as well as sub par grammar/spelling due to my own inadequacy. Please try to understand my reasoning and excuse the delay in the chapters releases.
