Kudos to Lil Miss Morningstar, thanks for the review and yeah I am having a bit of trouble but I think it's because I'm also easily distracted so I tend to lose my train of thought plus a perfectionist so it takes a while to write a chapter. it takes me about an hour just to write a paragraph sometimes. in fact some of chapters I've uploaded I don't exactly care for. anyways here's the next chapter and it's the latest one I've made and due to a block I've seemed to developed it might be awhile before I upload the next one, sorry. so I'm going to go over my past chapters and I might edit things and hopefully that will help.

"No, don't hurt him! Inari run!" I heard Tsunami scream which was what had woke me up. I shunshin downstairs to see Tsunami held back by one of Gato's thugs and the other standing over Inari with his weapon drawn. I then quietly and quickly take the thugs down, the first I bring down using my kunai to slice his throat when I shunshin behind him feeling his warm thick blood spill onto my hand. The smell of blood brings out my bloodlust and before the thug's partner could act I throw the same kunai I just used causing it to impale into his left eye killing him. "Tsunami, grab Inari and get to somewhere safe." I instruct her then shunshin out of there.

I run towards the fight on the bridge, when I arrived at the bridge Sakura is guarding Tazuna, Sasuke is injured and trapped within Haku's ice mirrors jutsu. But what drew my attention was Zabuza held down by Kakashi's nin dogs and Kakashi advancing on Zabuza. Kakashi prepares his Lightening Blade, Haku then shunshins in front of Zabuza intending to protect him one final time but when the dust clears it's not Haku who stands in front of Zabuza with Kakashi's fist inside him. No the one who stands between the two ninja is me and holy fuck that hurt I'm just lucky that I'm shorter than Haku, so instead of Haku being struck in the heart I stand there with Kakashi and his fist in my left shoulder.

"Heh, hey Kakashi-sensei" I said and then I cough and I could taste the coppery taste of my blood and feel it as it falls down my chin.

"Naruto!" Kakashi shouts in surprise when he realizes it's me, he then wraps his other arm around me and jumps back avoiding an attack from Zabuza. "Why?"

"I had to stop you from making a mistake." I said coughing up more blood as Kakashi pulls his arm out of me. I clenched my teeth trying to suppress the scream that threaten to come out instead I just whimpered and my right fist gripping his left arm as I leaned my head against his chest. I could smell that same musky scent of his and if I wasn't in so much pain I'd probably be all over him. So I guess there's at least something to be grateful for. "Zabuza and Haku aren't the enemy, Gato is and he's the one we need to deal with."

"What are you talking about, baka?!" Sakura shrieked when she and Tazuna arrived. I saw Tazuna had Sasuke's limp form in his arms when I turned to look at them and Kakashi supports my weight. "That boy killed Sasuke! As far as I'm concerned he's the enemy!"

I glance at Zabuza and Haku to see the Missing-Nin sitting and Haku standing behind him his hand placed on Zabuza's shoulder. I then smirk looking back at the pink haired banshee "He's not dead." Was all I said and the look of disbelieve on her face was almost comical.

"What?!" She shrieked.

"Naruto-san is right," Haku quietly spoke up before I could, "If you look closely you'll notice that my senbons missed all the vital organs and the death like state is due to my senbons sticking out of his neck, once you remove them he should wake up," Upon hearing that Sakura immediately removed said senbons, once done Sasuke wakes up and Sakura hugs him.

"Well, well isn't this a touching scene." A high pitched nasally voice gleefully gloats, we all look to see Gato and he's surrounded by his thugs.

"Gato, why are you here? What's with all the men?" Zabuza asks.

"Isn't obvious? He's here to kill you, well have his men kill you that is." I said standing on my own, I then ready to summon my shadow clones. "Kit, be careful I'll heal what I can but if you use too much of your chakra you'll receive a scar."

"What are you talking about, brat?" Demands Zabuza but I ignore him as I complete the clone seal and I summon close to a hundred shadow clones my vision blurs for a second there but then I sent my shadow clones to fight Gato's thugs. Zabuza was about to move to fight but I held him back, "I didn't receive this wound just for you to throw your life away. Besides you're in no condition to fight, so stay back and leave this fight to the rest of us."

"You were impaled in the shoulder if any of us should stay out of this fight it should be you." Zabuza states in an angry huff.

"Don't worry about me, just stay here with Haku." I then shunshin over to Gato and I sliced his throat open with my hidden kunai. When his lifeless corpse falls to the ground that's when Inari and the villagers arrived. After they stated their independence Kakashi and I quickly dealt with the rest of Gato's thugs. Once dealt with everyone cheered but that's when I collapsed, all I remember is Sakura screaming and someone catching me as I fell.

okay thanks for reading and see you all later.
