Short little beggining to a story

Like all my non-cannon stories haku is female

Full summery -

Naruto knelt next to the dying Missing-nin, "Promise me something." Naruto nodded, "Protect her." He nodded to the Shell shocked Haku, "Take my sword.", from that act the demonic duo was born, taking the road not often travelled on Naruto strives to find his new place in the world.

Kunai For The Blade

Chapter 1

The Exchange

"Kid, come here." Zabuza lay on the unfinished bridge; blood leaked from the wound where Kakashi's chidori had struck him in his left lung, Naruto had delayed Haku long enough.

Naruto knelt next to the dying Missing-nin, "Promise me something." Naruto nodded, "Protect her." He nodded to the Shell shocked Haku, "Take my sword."

"Why?" Naruto's sad voice carried above the clash of weapons.

Zabuza gave a gurgling chuckle, "You have the guts and drive to go far, that and my sword was meant to be wielded by you, a seal on the handle has a scroll to instruct you in its use...farewell fox."

------------------------------------------

Kakashi stared, the body of Zabuza was lying there on the bridge with an almost serene expression on his face, his sword and headband were missing and next to the body stabbed into the bridge was a single slightly rusty Kunai.

Naruto Dashed through the trees, four clones followed him, One Carried the now crying Haku, the other three carried Zabuza's massive sword; in his own hand he held a blood stained scroll and a scratched Mist headband.

------------------------------------------

Naruto stared into the fire, sat cross-legged in front of a camp fire he had made, Zabuza's blade lay across his lap, a faint pull tugged at his mind as his hands rested on the blade, Naruto sighed and looked at the sleeping Haku.

Once Naruto had stopped and made camp Haku had shouted at him, she had passed out from exhaustion and fell asleep several hours ago, she had been tossing and turning ever since. Naruto stared up at the full moon, the tug at his mind became clearer, 'Na..Ru..To...'

In Konoha, an old man felt a chill, his head bowed and his shoulders slumped with a single tear running down his face.
