A/N: This is just a prologue chapter with Naruto being a smartass and how it affects his life. The real story will probably pick up next chapter when he unlocks his bloodline. This chapter is just some changes to the Naruto manga and an intro to how my writing is. Hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. If I did, Naruto would actually be badass and a player…

The beautiful and the great village of Konohagakure was under attack by something which is not human, nor can be considered a beast at all. It was for all intents and purposes a demon straight from the depths of hell. The village was now eagerly waiting to see what their beloved 4th Hokage would do against something like this.

Speaking of the 4th Hokage, He was just spending some quality time with his newborn son, Yeah right. What he was actually doing was sealing the nine-tailed fox into his only child. He wondered if it was worth sealing a life of hatred into someone that he loved so much. He looked around, and he saw an unimaginable horror. His people were dying and many were crying over their pain or the loss of loved ones. He made his decision; it was the right thing to do.

"Son, I know you will be able to bear the hatred, because you are my son. Your Mom is dying so I will fill in for her. Remember to always eat your vegetables, and wear clean underwear. Train hard to be the best you can be, and remember *cough**cough* that you were always lov-*cough* -ed." Minato Namikaze said as he drew his last breath. This was the end of one of the greatest heroes in Konoha's history and a birth of a life of unimaginable hatred….

However, he made one crucial mistake…. He forgot to seal half of the fox into himself…..

Timeskip : 5 years later

The beautiful village of Konahagakure was enjoying its well-deserved peace. Everybody was laughing and enjoying their lives respectively. Well, Except for a lonely boy of 5 years who was getting the shit kicked out of him.

In a dark alley there was said boy getting kicked, stabbed, and bludgeoned. He would not cry or scream because he knows how futile it is. He would not let them see his suffering, for it would only seem to make them enjoy this session a bit more. These sessions would occur several times a week.

This was the boy's daily routine; for he was so used to it he barely made any cries of agony anymore. Every morning he would wake up in a pool of his own blood, except the times his JIji, as he so affectionately called him, gave him some protection in the form of his ANBU. He would wash his face in the river and take a bath there, which is why he smelled like shit every day. He would then go to a rich restaurant and eat off their dumpsters, where he finds many leftovers that are deemed unworthy of such high class people.

"Yeah, right. High class enough to beat on a 5 year old for fun," he thought bitterly.

He never understood why he was hated, but he vowed to find out. They called him thing such as monster, or demon, but when he looked at his own reflection in the river, he did not understand why he was called such things. He never understood why they never wanted to play with him. After a while he believed he was a monster. Some people refused to acknowledge his existence and the ones that did, they would take their revenge as they called it. He called himself a ghost, for he was neither hated nor not acknowledged as a human being. A ghost, he thought, how could someone ever love me…

However that changed with his foster family that he thought was his long lost family…

The only people he cared about was his foster family, some girl who showed kindness to him, one particular ANBU that also took care of him other than protection, and his Jij, the third hokage, for all the kids belittled him in order of their parents, and all the adullts, well, you know. The said girl mentioned was about 5 years older than him, and she bought him some dango. She was the first person outside of his family and in the village that treated him like a human being. She was the one that made him not lose all hope in the village. However, she had to leave to train with her sensei for a few years and he never saw her again.

If you thought his life is worse than a human could endure, you were right. For all intents and purposes, this boy was considered an evil incarnate, and nothing more. This foster family of his usually tended his wounds, for every time they tried to stop it, they would get a part of the beating too. This went on for a while until Naruto, the boy, told them to stop it.

His family was the only thing keeping him sane; someone to come home to, someone who loved him unconditionally. Before they came along he was on brink of insanity. Whenever he was wounded he was the only person who took care of the wounds, but most of them healed before he got to them. He did not know why this happened, but he is very fucking thankful for it.

However this would not last, for Kami just wants to fuck his life so much more…..

One day everything changed because of the incident…..

Timeskip: Night of the Incident

"Inoichi, I want you to remove all memories of the incident," Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third hokage, said with disgust at the word "incident".

"Right, but, Hokage-sama, in order to seal everything that happened to him, I would have to seal a part of his intelligence." Inoichi, the leader of the Yamanaka clan said.

"I don't care, but just to be sure, how much of his intelligence, so to speak?" The third hokage said.

"Errrrr….. 50% of it, more or less….." He trailed off.

"50%!" he said shocked, "he would be stupid as a brick, then!"

"No sir, his intelligence rivals my teammate, Shikaku's. Even with that much sealed, he would be a lot smarter than the average genin. It sort of frightens me what would happen if he had his whole intelligence. We would have someone as smart as or smarter than Shikaku by the time he would be 18. However, some of his real intelligence might start to show when he starts to graduate." Inoichi said.

"Ah, I see. Do it, he would be something akin to an avenger if he had those memories. And with the Kyuubi, He could destroy this village." He said, while looking at the beaten boy in the hospital bed who was the topic of their conversation.

Timeskip: 6 years later

The boy's life didn't change much, or so he thought. The beatings still continued but he thought no one loved him. His memories of the incident were completely sealed from his mind.

He later joined the academy 2 years earlier than usual people, so he could defend himself and be a good ninja someday. He would be disappointed, because he never learned how to read, nor did the teachers even bother trying to help him. When he finally learned to read at 8, he was 2 years behind everyone. This was why he failed 2 times, and he is now with people his own age. First, he was ecstatic to make friends because in public places like children parks and the like, children would not go near him because of their parents. He was disappointed again, for they were also told not to even have any contact with him whatsoever.

He met a kid with no parents who was a loner just like him. One day, he tried to approach him, but the kid, Sasuke Uchiha, did not want to associate himself with "dobes" and wanted to focus himself on training to complete his "ambition".

"Man, why does he have a stick up his ass, we could've been friends and helped each other," he thought dejectedly.

Next day: Academy attendance 9:00 A.M.

Naruto Uzumaki walked in the classroom and saw his future teammates. He knew most of the civillians would not pass in his class, but he knew which ones would pass.

Of course there was Uchiha Sasuke, a prodigy of what is left of the Uchiha Clan. He was undoubtedly the best in their class and with the council licking his ass, he would obviously pass.

Next was Haruno Sakura. She was by all terms and definitions a bookworm, or a nerd, whichever you prefer. She was one of the best at written tests, second only to Sasuke. It was obvious they would pair her with a strong person and her to be the strategian of the team. Too bad they didn't know how she was in real life….. and Naruto could tell, in a tough situation, she would be absolutely useless.

Next were Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, and Akimichi Chouji. It was obvious being clan heirs, they would pass. They were also good at the basic ninja arts. Naruto knew Shikamaru was hiding his true potential, his father being one of the smartest men in the shinobi nations, he would be brilliant. Ino was a fangirl who would care more about her looks than ninja training, so…. Enough said. Chouji was typical Akimichi, always eating and had a good heart. However too good of a heart, for Naruto was sure he couldn't kill just for the sake of his village. And well he was a *cough* fatass*cough*. It was obvious the Sandaime would try to recreate the legendary Ino-Shika-Cho formation of their parents.

Next are Hyuuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, and Aburame Shino. Hinata hyuuga was the heiress of the famed Hyuuga clan. She was a kind person, well too kind to be considered a Hyuuga. Naruto knew she had a crush on him and stalked him. You do not live the most of your life trying to run from people without enhanced senses. Kiba was a good guy, but a pervert. Naruto often saw Kiba ogling Hinata for she was an "early bloomer" *cough* *cough*. Hell, even Naruto himself couldn't look away when it was summertime and she gave that baggy coat to her guard and wore something tighter because it was too hot. Ahem, back to the point, Kiba always carried his master, err well, his dog on his head. Next was Shino, he was a silent type, but he had good morals. He was loyal to his friends, and had a good heart. However, Shino was usually ignored because he was creepy by their standards with all of his bugs. However, with Naruto's fears of getting rejected, he did not want to talk with them.

Next, was the enigma himself, Naruto. He always shouted about becoming Hokage to lift his spirits, because deep down he knows he will never be accepted and it was a cry for attention. His pranks usually brighten up the day to some people, but most of the time it would just lead to beatings. He had good morals; he would not steal nor kill. He was a true survivor at heart.

Timeskip: Graduation Day

It was graduation day and Naruto was the last person to take the test. He went in the room to see Iruka smiling at him and Mizuki openly glaring at him.

"All right, Naruto. You need to do the three basic academy jutsu to pass: which are the Kawarimi, Bunshin, and the Henge." Iruka said.

"Heh, just you watch, Iruka-sensei, I'm going to be Hokage in no time!" Naruto said enthusiastically. Iruka just smiled at this.

He pulled off a good enough Kawarimi, and ahem, knocked the two instructors out with a well-endowed henge. However, he completely failed the bunshin as there were 3 dead looking clones on the floor in weird-ass bent poses.

"YOU FAIL, Naruto!" Iruka yelled out to cover up his embarrassment as he kept on thinking about the Sexy jutsu.

"Come on Iruka, we can let him pass, I mean he did well enough…" Mizuki said with fake sadness.

"No, we can't, that would be favoritism. I can't allow him to pass since he could not meet the requirements of being a ninja for Konoha." Iruka said with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Naruto was looking at them devastated. He failed for the third time. He was a failure….

Naruto was in his favorite ramen stand, but there was one thing off about him today. He did not touch the bowl of ramen in front of him, which was starting to get cold. The shop owner and his daughter knew today was graduation day, so it was obvious he failed. Knowing this, they decided to leave him alone for a bit, as he looked like he did not want to talk about it.

Suddenly, Mizuki entered the stand.

"Ah, Naruto, just who I was looking for. You know, you shouldn't be so sad," he paused drawing breath as Naruto looked on intently to find out why he shouldn't be sad. "There is a second test that dropouts can do if it looks hopeless for them." Mizuki said with an almost invisible smirk.

"Really?" Naruto said with a bit of hope.

"Yeah, what you have to do is…" Mizuki then explained what he has to do for the test.

"All right, where is the scroll" Naruto said as he searched for the scroll in the Hokage's room. "Mizuki-sensei said it would be right…..here!" Naruto exclaimed as he found what he was looking for.

"Time to go to the place where he told me to meet him." Naruto said

'This is fishy…. I mean if it was a genin graduation exam, there wouldn't be the normal ANBU patrolling the place. It's just years of running that I was able to sense them. Hell, I am pretty sure at least half of them saw me approaching the tower. I hope no one saw me leaving the tower with the scroll, though. So I guess that justifies it. It was probably for show…. Right?' Naruto said with a bit of worry in his voice like he was heading right to a trap.

'This is the place, let's start practicing!' Naruto thought with enthusiasm.

Naruto opened the forbidden scroll of sealing and saw the jutsu's listed there. Having a photographic memory, he skimmed through most of the jutsu.

"Hmmm, the shadow clone technique should be good for me. Also the exploding shadow clones would be good…. What the fuck is edo tensei….. oh thatis disgusting …. Hmm, what else. Maybe I should just practice these Jutsu for now."

2 hours later:

"I have mastered the shadow clone technique, and I got the exploding shadow clone down, but I can't do it with more than 10 clones…. But I can make a thousand normal shadow clones." He said to himself as he noticed someone getting closer to the clearing where he was training.

"NARUTO! What are you doing?" Iruka said as he looked at the used up clearing. 'He must have been training hard' he thought.

"Hehe, I found you, Iruka-sensei!" Naruto said enthusiastically.

"NO you Idiot, I found you!" Iruka screamed at Naruto.

" Hehe, I guess you did, Iruka-sensei," Naruto said.

"Awww, what a touchy moment, Iruka, Naruto," Mizuki said.

"Mizuki-sensei! I learned a jutsu from the scroll. So now I pass the special graduation exam right?" Naruto said as he beamed with excitement over the prospect of being a ninja.

'Special graduation..? What! Oh, I see, Mizuki wanted the scroll, but why?' Iruka thought as looked on in between the conversation of Naruto and Mizuki.

"Hey, Naruto, do you want to know why everybody hates you so much?" Mizuki asked.

"SHUT UP! Mizuki, Don't it's forbidden!" Iruka screamed.

"NO! Iruka-sensei, I want to know…" Naruto said as the last part became a whisper but both heard it clearly.

"As you wish, the nine-tailed-fox." He paused as Naruto began fitting the pieces together. "The Yondaime could not kill a beast as strong as the Kyuubi, so he sealed it into a newborn child, in other words you!" Mizuki screamed.

"I see…" Naruto said as he was on the brink of a nervous breakdown. The memories of the beatings came back and the harsh words right behind it. He started to cry as he was reminiscing he forgot to see the windmill shuriken coming towards him. 'No, I will not cry!' he thought as looked up and stood frozen in fear of the giant shuriken heading towards him before he closed his eyes to brace for impact.

SQUELCH!

However, he felt something on his face, and no pain whatsoever, he looked up to see Iruka crying…. Then, he looked at the blood of Iruka on the floor. He started to feel hazy. He closed his eyes to get rid of the feeling, but when he looked again he saw a shady person he did not recognize in a pool of his/or her own blood. Before he could blink again, he was back in the real world.

"I know how it feels like, Naruto, how it feels like to be alone. I was an orphan, but remember I do not see you as a demon, but my student." Iruka said as he crying. Naruto's pupils then zoomed out as he remembered everything that was happening. Mizuki telling him about the special exam, him betraying konoha…. And hurting what was one of the most precious people in his life.

"You hurt Iruka-sensei, Mizuki, I will make you pay." Naruto said as his eyes were shadowed by his hair.

"Let's see you try, demon brat!" Mizuki screamed.

Mizuki throws his second windmill shuriken at Naruto, who just stood there as took the hit.

Poof!

Mizuki's eyes bulge out for a second as he looked at the dead-last of the academy creating solid clones before he felt an air pressure behind him. He looked behind in time to see Naruto rearing his right fist for a punch. Mizuki ducks, and does a spin kicks at Naruto who poofs away in smoke, hindering his vision. Then he feels a foot kicking him in the chest, making him fly out into the air.

'I didn't even sense him near me, what the hell!' Mizuki thought as he was sailing through the air.

Naruto jumps on the back of the unsuspecting Mizuki. However, what surprises Mizuki is that this Naruto was glowing before he blows up. The other Naruto sees the splinters of wood coming out of the explosion, realizing it was a kawarimi, he is instantly on guard. Hearing a distinct buzzing sound and instantly realizing what it is, he creates a shadow clone to throw him out of the explosion of the explosive kunai.

Naruto coming into the clearing sees weird black markings all over Mizuki's body. He gives a questioning glance at the markings, as if asking for an explanation.

"Hah, this is the power Orochimaru-Sama gave me, you will never defeat me!" Mizuki screamed.

"Naruto, just run with scroll! If he is working with Orochimaru, he is stronger than you!" Iruka screamed with genuine concern for his student as he desperately tried to stand again, but failing for the shuriken in his back.

"I never back down, Iruka-sensei. Just watch me beat this guy." Naruto said with confidence running through his eyes.

Mizuki ran at Naruto with a right hook, and seeing the great increase in his speed Naruto creates a clone at the last second to take the hit, which makes him start to glow a white color. Mizuki seeing this widens his eyes in surprise and in fear of what was going to happen. Mizuki's momentum of the punch was too fast to slow down and run the other direction or do anything for that matter. Before he knew it, the clone blew up, sending him flying through the air once more. Naruto seeing the flying man on a collision course to a tree, he creates a shadow clone that he throws at Mizuki. Right after Mizuki hits the tree, his stomach meets the foot of naruto's clone, which makes him cough up blood. However, his eye widen when seeing the clone glowing once more. In a flash, it was over. Mizuki then flies back destroying the tree. Naruto checks his pulse and sees he is still alive, but he is unconscious.

'Well, got to thank myself that I can't do the exploding ones properly or he would be dead.' Naruto thought.

Iruka was bewildered at the level of skill shown by Naruto.

"Naruto, come here, I have to give you something!" Iruka yelled.

"What is it, Iruka-sensei?" Naruto said.

"Close your eyes, Naruto" Iruka said.

Naruto then felt something on his forehead and hands tying said something to the back of his head. Naruto opened his eyes to see a headband-less Iruka smiling at him. Realizing what has happened, he jumped in joy in the prospect of being a ninja.

TImeskip: Day of Teams

A/N: The same teams as the anime, I will skip to the bell test.

Naruto was feeling good about this test. He mastered the shadow clone technique to the point of making 1 good clone that could take hits, but he wanted to keep this a surprise. Also, he can use more than at least 50 exploding shadow clones before he would run out of chakra. Now back to what Kakashi was saying about the test….

"Your objective is to get these bells from me by noon," Kakashi Hatake said with an eye smile.

"But, sensei, there are only 2 bells!" Sakura said as she was inspecting the bells.

"That's right, which means only two of you will pass, and the other will be sent to the academy and forced to see the others eat lunch while they are tied to a log. Oh right, this test has a 66% failure rate so it will be very hard for you guys to pass on your own." Kakashi said with an eye smile.

"Begin!" Kakashi said.

Everybody quickly hid. However, after a while, Naruto came out of a tree.

"Heh, this waiting thing is not my style, get ready Kakashi-sensei." Naruto said to which Kakashi eye-smiled to.

'Damn dobe, thinking he can be cool' Sasuke thought as he was planning his next moves.

'He is just trying to be cool, stupid baka. Maybe after he gets beaten up, Sasuke-kun will beat Kakashi-sensei and pass the test for us two…' the thoughts of Sakura then trailed off to some very mature things.

"Impatient, are we?" Kakashi said as he reached into his kunai pouch…. and pulled out a book which made Naruto grit his teeth in anger of the prospect of being underestimated.

Naruto charged at Kakashi with rather impressive speed with a right hook, which Kakshi dodged by leaning to the left. However, Kakashi saw Naruto doing a hand seal before 4 clones along with Naruto pop out surrounding him. With the experience of a veteran ninja, he is able to knock out 2 clones by dodging and punching when they came close. The 3rd clone charge and went for a sweep kick that Kakashi jumped over, but his eyes widen when he sees a clone there waiting for him with a right hook. Kakashi caught his fist and smashed him onto the other clone that dispelled in poofs of smoke. However, out of the smoke came Naruto who gave a roundhouse kick to Kakashi's face, which he blocks, but still got blown away by.

'I can't even read my book! This is not supposed to be a fresh-out-of the academy genin!' Kakashi thought.

Seeing his rather impressive taijutsu, Kakashi quickly put his book in his pocket. Naruto then charge again and went for a left jab, which Kakashi dodged. Naruto then went for a roundhouse kick which Kakashi ducks under, and then Naruto spins his whole body for a sweep kick which Kakashi jumps over. Then he hears the sound of a kunai approaching which he dodges, and counters by throwing his own kunai in the direction of the first kunai. Then Kakashi dispels the clone underneath him with a kick. However, the kunai that was thrown at him transformed into Naruto who throws another kunai which turns out to be another Naruto which punches Kakashi, but Kakashi blocks. Seeing Naruto glowing, his eye widened. In an instant, Kakashi uses a replacement Jutsu to protect himself from the explosion.

While this was happening, 2 clones of Naruto came and asked them if they wanted to team up and get the bells. He got a punch from Sakura, and a - 'I don't need help from a dobe' from Sasuke.

Enraged by the so called dobe outclassing him, Sasuke springs into action. Once Kakashi gets out of his hiding place Sasuke starts to do hand seals.

Katon: Gokakyou no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu)

Kakashi eyes widen at the thought of a genin doing that technique before he just seems to be engulfed by the fireball, which gets a smirk from Sasuke, but a frown when the target reveals itself to be a log. Sasuke then charges at Kakashi as soon as he appears. Sasuke goes for a right hook which Kakashi catches, then he tries to kick his head, which he also catches. Using his other free foot, he tries to kick Kakashi again, which he blocks with his leg. Seeing Kakashi immobilized, Sasuke goes for the bells. He couldn't reach it, and he is thrown off. However, neither sees the shadow under the bells where a stray kunai was lying there...

Kakashi, not noticing it, kept on fighting with Sasuke. He then looked around for his student before he dodged a kunai coming at him. He sees Sasuke coming out of the bush from where the kunai was thrown. His hands were also in the infamous Tiger seal.

Katon: Housenka no Jutsu!(Fire Release: Phoenix Flower jutsu)

This time there is no logs, so Sasuke is confused as to why there is no logs because he doesn't see Kakashi dodging the volley of fireballs. Just then, he feels 2 hands grab his feet and pull him into the ground.

"Nice try, Sasuke, but not good enough," Kakashi says with an eye smile.

Kakashi then spots Sakura hiding in a nearby spot. He then smirks and prepares for his next move.

Magen: Narakumi no Jutsu (Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique)

Sakura then feels a bit dizzy before she finds herself in a different place than where she was hiding. She looks around and spots the deformed body of Sasuke.

"SASUKE-KUN!" she screams shortly before she passes out.

'I wonder where Naruto is, He did show exceptional skill in this test' Kakashi thought, 'Oh, well, the test should be over any minute now anyway….'

RRRRRRIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!

'All right, now I have to free Sasuke, and I have to wake up Sakura' Kakashi thought with a sigh as he could not get much reading done because of the exceptional skill of his students.

15 minutes later:

"Team, you did well, but you have failed. Don't worry, I will give you one more chance after you finish you lunch. Sasuke, Naruto, Remember not to feed Sakura." Kakashi said with an eye smile as he looked at the tied up Sakura, the brooding Sasuke, and the unusually calm Naruto.

"Not necessary, sensei," Naruto says as he pulls out 2 bells from his kunai pouch.

Everyone watched with amazement as he pulls out 2 bells that jingle, and Kakashi's, after inspecting them, does not.

"But how?' Kakashi said with his one eye widened.

The 2 bells on Kakashi's hand poof into smoke, and Naruto stands there with an impassive look on his face.

"Figure it out yourself, something the dobe is able to do should not be confusing, right, Sasuke," Naruto said with a smirk as Sasuke grit his teeth in anger.

"So, who will you give the bells to?" Kakashi asked Naruto with an eye smile hoping he figured out the objective of the test.

"Here," Naruto said as he tossed the bells to Sasuke and Sakura, both of which were looking at him wide eyed. "I will fight for my position on the team." He added with determination blazing in his blue eyes.

"No, it's all right, you all pass. Team 7 will start its missions from tomorrow. Try not to be late." Kakashi said before puffing into smoke.

Time skip: Wave mission

"Let's GO! Our first C-rank mission, this ought to be good!" Naruto yelled and for once his teammates agreed with the hyperactive blond. A month doing chores and chasing the hell cat Tora does that to a person.

However they were disappointed as they were just walking for a long while without any disturbances whatsoever. This would not last very long, for Naruto with his heightened senses could smell people and could see a puddle even though it hasn't rained in days.

'What's going on? Kakashi-sensei is an elite-jounin, he would not fall for a trap like this. Am I overthinking this? It does not smell like urine, so it definitely is a genjutsu of sorts….. Of course! He wants to see what we would do in our first battle… heh, come at me bro's' Naruto thought with a smirk.

Out of the puddle, came 2 ninja's with a chain attached to their arms, and said chain wraps around Kakashi, and in a gruesome display that the team looked away for, Kakashi was ripped to shreds.

"One down, three to go." Said one of the nins.

They then proceed to hurl their chains at the group of genin and their client, Tazuna.

"Sasuke, stand down! I will take care of them!" Naruto said as he looked at Sasuke, who was about to charge, begrudgingly stepped down.

Then, Naruto created a clone who charged at the chain taking the hit, but instead of blood, Naruto was glowing. Seeing this, the brothers jumped away from the blond after separating themselves from the chain. After the clone blew up, the real Naruto came out of the bushes. The younger and rasher of the two brothers directly charged at him. Seeing thisthe elder one followed. The younger brother tried to kick Naruto, but he grabbed it, stabbed his thigh with a kunai and did a roundhouse kick on his face while still holding onto his leg. Then he proceeded to throw the one he was holding at the elder one who was forced to catch him. After he did so, the brother noticed an explosive tag on the kunai, he quickly tugged it out and threw it away from them, but they were still caught in the blast radius, knocking them out cold while Sasuke and Sakura protected the client.

"You can come out now, Kakashi-sensei" Naruto said as he was still looking at unconscious forms of the Akuma brothers.

"Well, I see you have noticed me, Naruto, and a brilliant plan indeed if I may say so. Anyways, Tazuna would you mind explaining why there are chunin level ninja after you, because they were not after me for the bounty." Kakashi said with a serious face for once.

Tazuna then proceeded to explain what has been happening in wave. Tazuna was a bridge builder that was going to build a bridge so they could be connected to Hi no Kuni and trade with others. They were poor and in a crucial state. Tazuna then begged them to help him so Wave can be as glorious as it once was, so Gato could not have control over it. Gato wanted them to be cut off so he could rule the place.

"I say we help them, Kakashi-sensei. If we turn our back on them now, I could never call myself a ninja ever again." Naruto said

"I agree," said Sasuke. Sakura nodded in approval of what Sasuke said like a lost puppy and her master.

"Then it is settled. We will help Tazuna." Kakashi said.

"I cannot thank you enough." Tazuna said.

"Your men failed, Zabuza. You better make sure they die or I will not pay you at all." Gato said false bravado.

"Relax, I will go personally this time. I will make sure they die." Zabuza said.

A/N: I'm sorry but I will skip to the fight on the bridge because everything else is the same as the anime. Except Naruto did not oversleep on the day of the fight.

Naruto and the others were walking towards the bridge when suddenly the surrounding area became misty and a figure could be seen lying in a pool of his own blood.

"He is a true demon," the man said before he died.

"Ah, so you have come Sharingan no Kakashi. I will enjoy this fight with you. This time it will be different." Zabuza said as he was maliciously glaring at Kakashi." I have brought my accomplice with me so your little brats won't interrupt this time."

"Sakura, protect the bridge builder. Naruto, Sasuke, take care of the accomplice." Kakashi said as he lifted his headband to reveal his sharingan eye.

Sasuke then charges at the masked nin now identified as Haku. Before he even gets close enough to attack, Haku quickly jumps away and launches a barrage of senbon at Sasuke. Sasuke jumps out of the way, but not before getting a few senbon stuck into him.

"Damn it, Sasuke, don't charge head on like a maniac!" Naruto yells out to him before creating a few shadow clones." I have a plan," Naruto said with determination. "Follow my lead," Naruto making eye contact with Sasuke.

"Right," Sasuke said looking a bit doubtful.

Naruto quickly tries to surround Haku using him and his four clones. Seeing this, Haku goes through hand seals at a fast rate.

Hyouton: Senshatu Suisho ( Ice Release: A Thousand Needles of Death)

Haku rapidly fires a lot of ice needles at the clones, who are too slow to dodge, dispelling them. The real Naruto, seeing the hand seals, instantly jumped back to avoid the deadly needles.

'I will need more than upfront shadow clones and exploding ones to penetrate through this Haku's defenses. Alright, new plan. What could I do?' Naruto thought as he analyzed his opponent carefully.

Haku wasted no time to think and charged at Naruto with 5 senbon on each hand. Haku threw 5 senbon at the standing Naruto, who then jumped into the air. However before Haku could follow Naruto and try to get a hit on him, she heard a voice behind her.

Katon: Gokakyou no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique) Sasuke yelled.

Haku could not dodge, and it seemed like she was engulfed by the fire. However, they were disappointed as Haku turned into a burning log. Sasuke then heard the whizzing noise of projectiles sailing through the air behind him. Hearing this, Sasuke jumped. However, he was too slow as 2 senbon in the back. Naruto seeing this goes to Sasuke to see if he is all right.

"Stop getting hit, Genius," Naruto said mockingly as he gazed at the senbon in Sasuke's back.

"Shut up, dobe," Sasuke said as he grits his teeth when he pulled the senbon out of his back.

'All right, I need to figure out how this Haku fights… She can take out a vast number of clones with those ice needles, so that's not an option. She is experienced so the exploding ones she will probably see through then kawarimi herself with something. What can I do…. AHA!.' Naruto said as he analyzed his opponent.

Naruto throws an explosive kunai at Haku's feet. Haku, seeing this, jumps to avoid the blast. However within the smoke of the explosion 5 clones emerged from the smoke surrounding Haku. However Haku, showing great skils and flexibility, threw senbon while maneuvering her in the air to dispel all the clones. To her great surprise, 2 more clones came out of the smoke parallel to each other. Haku threw senbon at the 2 clones. One of the clones used the other one as a human shield, blocking all of the senbon, before kicking the clone to get himself close to Haku. Haku's eyes widen as the clone that took the hit did not dispel immediately. Then, the clone started glowing. Haku sees this before her eyes widen-

BOOM!

-before she creates an ice shield to protect herself at the last second. However, the explosion being at point-blank range she is hurdled to the ground with impressive force before she hits the ground with a thud. Before she can fully recover, she sees Sasuke going through hand seals while smirking.

Katon: Housenka no Jutsu (Fire Realease: Phoenix Flower Technique) Sasuke yells.

Haku then dodges the volley of fireballs heading her way with acrobatic feats of tremendous proportions. (A/N: You know where I am going with this) She was panting a bit because of her exhaustion and slight burns on her clothes and some skin because of the explosion.

"I see I have to get serious with you two." Haku says with an emotionless tone as she starts going through hand seals.

Makyo Hyosho! (Demonic Ice Mirrors!)

Kakashi's Fight with Zabuza:

"It seems your two brats are eager to die, Kakashi." Zabuza said with a cynical smile.

"They won't be the ones dying here today, Zabuza," Kakashi said with a challenging tone as he lifted his headband.

"Enough talk. I have waited a week for this rematch. Let's fight." Zabuza said as he charged at Kakashi with his sword.

Kakashi took out a kunai as he was waiting for the clash between him and Zabuza. Zabuza swung his sword in a horizontal motion from right to left, which Kakashi ducked under, before going for a diagonal slash to cut Kakashi in two. Seeing this, Kakashi jumped back. Zabuza charged at Kakashi doing quick slashes trying to make Kakashi get a grave injury with Zabuza's massive sword. However, Kakashi just dodges all of the strikes before jumping back to create some distance between him and Zabuza. After that Kakashi charged in with his kunai. He did quick horizontal slashes with his kunai, which Zabuza dodged, before coming into a clash with Zabuza's sword. Then, Zabuza jumped back and started going through handseals.

"I won't let you use that cursed eye to dodge anymore, Kakashi." Zabuza said as he finished his hand seals.

Suition: Kirigakure no Jutsu (Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique)

A thick dense mist covered the area that rendered Kakashi's sharingan useless. Seeing the dense mist, he instantly strained all his senses into finding Zabuza. As he was doing this, he felt an air pressure behind him and the whizzing sound of Zabuza's sword. Kakashi quickly turns around and sees Zabuza in mid-swing trying to cleave Zabuza in half. Kakashi quickly jumps back from getting cut, before throwing a kunai at Zabuza, who turned into water.

'Mizu bunshin' Kakashi thought.

"If you can't see me, Kakashi, your sharingan is virtually useless. All I have to do is cover my tracks and you are as good as dead." Zabuza said in a maniacal tone.

After a while of this, Kakashi was growing tired. Dodging Zabuza's sword and his mizu bunshins were beginning to get tougher than Kakashi thought it would. With the mist, it added to his problems. If only he could keep track of him somehow, maybe put something onto him….he got a plan.

After he made his plan, he saw Zabuza behind him already in mid-swing. Kakashi tried to jump back, but he could not get out of the sword's massive range in time, or so Zabuza thought. He got a slash across his chest as a result. Zabuza then smirked and disappeared in the mist, thinking it would be easier to kill the injured Kakashi. However, he heard something that surprised him.

Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)

Before Zabuza knew what was happening, he was bitten by dogs of various sizes in areas that made him impossible to move. Then he heard the sound of lightning cackling.

"It's time to end this, Zabuza. Die" Kakashi said as the lightning cackled louder.

Raikiri (Lightning Blade)

Back with Naruto and Sasuke

Once both of them got trapped in the ice dome, everything went downhill. All they could do was survive as long as possible because Sasuke fireball could do nothing to the mirrors, and Naruto's exploding clones only leaves a dent which regenerates within a few seconds. Naruto even tried a chain of explosions in one area, but he couldn't do more than 5 because of their limited space. The ice got a few cracks in it, but it didn't break and regenerated soon thereafter. Now, we find both of them resembling living pincushions being attacked by Haku from all sides and them desperately trying to dodge them, with Sasuke having more luck with his unlocked sharingan. However, when Haku was trying to finish off Naruto, Sasuke took the hit.

"Why the hell did you take the hit, Sasuke!" Naruto yelled.

"I don't know, my body just moved on its own. Dobe, I need to ask you something. If I die, I want you to kill my brother, Itachi Uchiha. If I die before he does, I entrust my goal onto you, Naruto because I trust you the most" Sasuke said and for a moment Naruto saw someone else who he couldn't recognize was lying in a pool of his blood.

Naruto seeing one of his only potential friends die on their first mission made him see red. All he wanted to do right now was to kill Haku. His body started glowing red and the silhouette of a fox appeared above him.

He then charged at Haku's reflection on one of the ice walls. He punched the ice mirror, and to both his and Haku's shock, the ice broke and he punched through it to Haku. Haku tried to block, but was too slow. She took the hit and flew back with tremendous force and crashed into the ground. Naruto then appeared in front of her and smashed his fist into her mask, which instantly broke. However, seeing who he was attacking, he stopped his attack.

"I killed what seemed like your best friend, and you are letting me live?" Haku questioned.

"I don't know what to think anymore, or do for that matter." Naruto said as he kept gazing from his "dead" teammate and Haku.

"Kill me, I am no use to my master anymore. I have no reason to live." Haku said.

"How can you say that!" Naruto yelled.

"Because he gave me a reason to live…" Haku then explained her story of what happened in her life until Zabuza came along.

"I see, BUT it is not worth throwing your life away for. You could come with us to Konoha, or something. You could have a life. I have seen the way he looked at you when you guys arrived at the bridge. He wants you to be happy, and its killing him that you are forced into his kind of life!" Naruto explained to her, which made her eyes widen.

"Do you really think so….. No, I could not abandon my master!" Haku screamed as she desperately tried to stop the flowing of her tears. However, she heard lightning cackling outside and went to look at what had happened…..

She was too late…

She saw the dogs biting into her master's limbs, immobilizing him. She saw the hand covered with lightning through his chest. She broke down and ran to her master. Kakashi, seeing her broken face, just pulled his hand out and stepped away from Zabuza.

"Haku, now you can finally be free," he said with a smile. "You can go with them to Konoha and have a good life there. Konoha treasures bloodlines and would love to accept you as you are not an official ninja of the mist. Please try to be happy and take my sword with you….. and Naruto, please try to take good care of her." He said and added the last part as he saw Naruto soothing Haku while she was crying in his chest. Then, the life left his eyes and he fell limp on the ground dead.

"Well, what a touchy moment. Good thing he dies, I never wanted to pay him anyway." Gato said as he appeared on the scene.

"You! You made Haku, Tazuna, and the rest of this village suffer so much… JUST FOR MONEY…GRRR!' Naruto said as he started growling at the end and a red hue started to pour out of his body and a massive killing intent washed over the area.

'I have to stay in control, I can't lose control' Naruto chanted over and over in his head.

TAJUU KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU

The bridge was filled with Naruto's all pouring the red chakra ready to kill their opponents. Seeing this, Most of the bandits shit their pants while the others were already running for their lives. The clones then charged at what was remaining of the army while the real Naruto cornered Gato.

"Please! I can give you anything! Money, Girls, you name it, and I can give it to you! Please just show mercy!" Gato pleaded.

"Can you bring back Zabuza, Kaiza, or all the people you killed? I didn't think so. But, you are going to give all the money you have to the villagers. As for the punishment, I am just going to give you to the villagers and they can decide what to do with you." Naruto said as he threw Gato over the bridge and gave them to the villagers who came a few seconds earlier to fight. The villagers all looked at him with an evil glint in their eyes before they took him with them to wherever they were going, but not before him giving them all his money and trades.

By this time, most of the bandits were all not here, dead, or unconscious. Naruto then passed out from overexerting himself.

A/N:

I know this chapter is very fast-paced, but that is because it is the prologue and I wanted to change some things from the manga. I hope you don't lose interest in the story because chapter 2 is when the real story starts. If you don't like and don't want to give it a chance, don't read it. You can flame, then I can know what I am doing wrong, but It doesn't affect me negatively at all, so go ahead.

And Please Read and Review!
