Naruto Ascendant Chapter 14

Sorry for the mix up. I realize i screrwed up.

Homecoming is Hell

Itachi and Kisame set themselves up along the path from wave Country to Earth country

When the remaining earth shinobi passed by. Itachi and Kisame struck.

Quickly casting an illusion on the shinobi making all other ninja disappear from view, Itachi approached Han. "Han no Juubi, you are hard to find."

Han smirked "So an assassin? I suppose I ought to have expected this kind of tactic. But its time I got another kill in today." Since I failed my Main mission I could always kill you Itachi Uchiha.

"I don't think so, Magekyo Sharingan." Itachi activated his bloodline limit.

"Tsuchimuton: Tsuchimu-Kama." Han stated as he set up his jutsu. "Ansatsu no Tsuchimu."

Bursting into a bunch of crows. Itachi then rematerialized. "Tsukuyomi"

Han was transported instantly into the reverse world. Welcome to Tsukuyomi, here you shall be tortured for seventy-two hours. Lets begin. Han was immediately surrounded by four copies of itachi each with a sword. Repeatedly he was punctured by the blades. the first thrust was into his right kidney, next the blades stabbed his left lung, the next slice found Han hamstrung. The cuts continued to accumulate until mercifully he died…

Han regained consciousness slowly. 23 hours, 59 minutes 59 seconds to go. Itachi stated seeming rather bored.

Outside only seconds had passed. "Let's go Kisame." Itachi said clutching his left eye.

In Iwa one week later

Onoki was upset… the most powerful bijuu of Iwa was susspected to be dead, and the body couldn't be found. The squad of ninja he had sent to wave was still MIA, meaning he had no idea why they didn't come home. Sighing he picked up his pen and started filling out the necessary forms for MIAs.

He also summoned his top Anbu. "I want you to go to Mount Henoo no Yona Chikyū, tell Roshi… Han is dead and he is needed once more."

The Anbu, while surprised that the gnome knew all along where their second Jinchuuriki was, merely nodded and left.

Naruto, Hinata, Shino, Kiba, Sakura, Kakashi, and Gekko were all gathered around a gravestone. Haku knelt beside the grave. "Goodbye Zabuza-sama, I am sorry I couldn't protect you…" He said.

Meanwhile…

Sasuke was writing all that had happened upon a scroll, Ninja died all the time, what was one more? But another bloodline could be added to the Village and that was a good thing. Kiri were fools to try to rid themselves of the power bloodlines afforded. Konoha was set to receive another bloodline into the fold. Danzo must be notified of such a thing. Danzo wanted powerful clans in Konoha; Haku was the next step to the total supremacy of Konoha. Pulling out a scroll he unsealed the hawk within,sending the scroll of info to Konoha.

Upon Arrival in Konoha…

Root received the scroll and brought it to Danzo immediately. Reading the scroll Danzo was surprised that one of the bloodlines of Kiri was coming to Konoha. Plans immediately ran through his mind on how to have the boy brought to him but then he saw that the boy was already a friend of the Senju Candidate…

"Accursed Namikaze." He said aloud.

"I won't be able to indoctrinate him now, but he is really too old anyway. Must start young, before any life-changing events occur."

As Danzo continued on this path of thought he started to plan for the future once more.

Naruto and Company were being sent off by the entire village. "Come visit us sometime!" One Shouted after their retreating backs.

"What should we call the bridge?" Asked Tsunami.

Tazuna said, "How about, The Awesome Bridge that Tazuna Built", earning him two hits on the head from Inari and Tsunami.

"Just joking just joking. Seriously, though Why not The Great Naruto Bridge?"

"Hm… that's a good name." Tsunami said.

The Hokage's Office

"So you not only kept going on a mission with only 3 extra genin and another Jonin but both the CRA candidates as opposed to scrapping the mission? Why did you ask for team eight anyway?" Sarutobi said.

"Before you lose your temper their both okay so it's not a big deal, there was a good chance of seein Zabuza Mamochi, so I requested Konoha's sword expert and anyway we added another clan to the village so I actually did you a favor in setting up another clan in the village so… "

"Favor my ass, add a bloodline, the paperwork alone for a new clan is almost as bad as a death."

"Now is that really true?"

"Actually it's even worse. Does he want to be a Ninja of Konoha?"

"No… his father figure was killed it's all in my report." Kakashi replied.

"Thank god for small favors." the Hokage said shivering. "The paperwork! " He suddenly shouted.

After recomposing himself, he said; "Send in Hayate."

"So I want to know what you were thinking accepting the blasted mission in the first place, Hayate?

"My genin were ready and a new C rank for us would take another couple months of D ranks. To borrow from our most prominently lazy clan, it would be much too troublesome to wait for a new mission with Naruto on the team, he would constantly moan about how we just gave up on our first mission outside the village…" Gekko paused before continuing. "And he would continue to moan and groan and I would have to deal with that for the next year. I thought we could keep him safe for the mission's duration and then we would have a nice A rank mission under our belts. That's all and besides we won."

"But Naruto was exposed to mass killing, Iwa is aware of him, and he is totally unprepared for them . I had hoped he wouldn't have to deal with that kind of mental trauma for some time… I will have to put you in with the review board with Kakashi. But you are excused Gekko."

Teams seven and eight were going out to eat; Naruto said Ichiraku but was overruled by the rest of the teams. They decided upon a Barbeque restaurant and saw team ten there.

Shikamaru seeing them enter asked: "What took you guys so long I mean two teams for one mission?"

Kiba launched into an explanation, "We were sent on a routine guard mission but the client lied about the risks so when a team of ninjas attacked us, Kakashi-sensei asked for backup and so Hokage-sama dispatched Hinata-chan's team as back up, we next fought Zabuza Mamochi but before we could kill him a ninja interrupted us claiming."

"That has to be the most troublesome mission ever conceived." Shikamaru stated "Thank god I wasn't involved."

"Don't worry Shikamaru you'll have a fun mission sooner or later too."

"Fun? I would rather chase Tora alone around the village for two days straight."

The genin collectively shuddered at the thought of such a mission.

"But there is a new clan in town because of you guys."

"Yep the group who we were up against was shorted so he warned us about the other ninja. But in the mean time the guy who survived doesn't want to continue being a ninja, what's up with that?"

"The guy probably doesn't want to continue dealing with troublesome missions." Shikamaru said.

"I just can't understand you Shikamaru." Naruto said loudly.

After their lunch team eight decided to part ways to their different homes. Along the way Naruto noticed a rock with corners and strait edges following him. Sighing in resignation Naruto called out loudly. "Come on out Konohamaru."

"Great going boss, of course you would notice me…"

"I told you before, Konohamaru, I-am-not-your-boss."

"Don't be that way, boss… We just want you to play Ninja that's all."

"A ninja, playing ninja, now I've seen everything…" a snide and sarcastic Irish lady ghost, I mean screaming she-devil, I mean pink haired genin stated as she walked by the scene of Konohamaru begging for Naruto to play with him.

"I want nothing to do with this." Said Naruto with finality as he walked away.

After having a second look at her, Konohamaru said, "Jeez did you mess up trying to copy Iruka sensei's big head no jutsu or were you born that freaky?"

Sakura, who had been walking away, slowly turned as Naruto said, "Konohamaru, run, now."

As Konohamaru started to run he cut a corner too quickly and ran smack dab into a kabuki-dancer, I mean a ventriloquist, I mean a ventriloquist's Dummy, I mean a Suna genin.

He said. "Hey you punk, that kind of hurt."

Suddenly as the kabuki wannabe was about to wail on him, a feather struck the hand that held the frightened child, while another presence was detected. "If I were you, I would put the kid down, now." Naruto said as he appeared on a tree branch.

"Or what, brat, you'll stop me?"

"Or you cause a national incident by assaulting the current Hokage's grandson. I doubt your father would be happy if his own children were disqualified before the exams even start." Another voice said. Sasuke was on a branch with a rock in hand ready to fire at a moments notice.

"What the hell? The Hokage has a grandson who's this tiny?" said Kankuro.

"Kankuro, don't cause any trouble or you know who will kill you." Temari said nervously.

"I bet he's far enough away to not notice…" the boy started before a wave of killer Intent washed over all the genin.

"Kankuro, stop or I'll kill you." A new voice stated.

Gaara of the Desert was standing on a tree, looking bored and murderous all at once.

"Gaara, we weren't causing any trouble…"

"Shut up Temari." Gaara interrupted his sister.

"I'm sorry for any trouble these two caused you. I look forward to meeting you both again." Gaara said to Sasuke and Naruto.

"Hn, so the exams are coming soon." Sasuke mused. "Try not to die, dobe."

"You too teme." Retorted Naruto.
