Legend
I do not own Naruto.
AN: This begins during the mission to Wave.
"GET DOWN!"
The four Shinobi and Tazuna hit the deck as a gunmetal-grey blur sped overhead before lodging in a tree.
"Momochi Zabuza, Demon of the Mist," Kakashi said. "A-rank nukenin."
"Sharingan no Kakashi, aka the 'Copycat-ninja'."
Zabuza pulled his blade from the tree and landed lightly on his feet.
"I have no quarrel with you. Give me the old man…and I'll let you live."
"No."
"I thought not. Too bad."
The two began to fight (note: it's just like canon, so I'm gonna just skip the fight.)
He began making the signs for Suiton: Suiryuudan no Jutsu when a kunai whizzed by his cheek, interrupting him.
"That blade…its Kubikiri Hochou, isn't it?"
"Ah, I see you've heard of it," Zabuza replied to the blonde, voice filled with pride.
"Perfect," Naruto grinned. "I've wanted to cross blades with another of the Blades of Legend."
"Another?" Zabuza scoffed. "Don't try to intimidate me, boy. There is no way a brat like you would survive an encounter with a Blade."
"Whoever said I've fought one?" Naruto replied cryptically. He reached towards his right arm and pulled the dangly decoration off of its cords (I think it's on his right arm…if not, too bad). It was revealed to be a small scroll that he unfurled before biting his thumb and smearing the blood on it.
"Are you ready, old friend?" he asked, seemingly to nobody in particular.
There was a pulse of malignant chakra in reply.
"Then…demon sword that thirsts for blood…COME TO ME! Thy master commands thee!"
There was a flash of light and a katana hilt appeared in Naruto's hands, sans blade.
"I haven't fought a Blade of Legend…"
A light slowly made its way from the hilt, revealing a blade.
"…I wield one. Awaken…Muramune!"
The light finally revealed a blade that looked like a katana blade as long as Naruto was tall (AN: It's Sephiroth's Masamune with a different name).
Zabuza, Naruto's sensei and teammates, and Tazuna all stared in shock as Naruto's clothes changed form. He now wore a black-and-red cloak-like trench coat that was tattered at the ends, giving an impression of nine tails swirling behind him, black pants, gloves like Kakashi's, forearm armor, shoulder armor, shin armor, and steel-toed boots. He had his head bowed. When he raised it, Zabuza felt a twinge of fear.
'That kid's eyes…they're blazing red! Are his pupils slit? Did he say Muramune? What the hell IS this kid?'
"No fin' way," Kakashi breathed. "Muramune. The sword considered to be the most dangerous Blade of Legend. The only one to wield it in recorded history was…"
"Kyuubi no Yoko's human form," Naruto finished in a deeper, slightly demonic voice.
Zabuza finally shook off his fear.
"Hmph. It doesn't matter what Blade you wield, brat. I'm still the more experienced!" he bellowed, charging. Kubikiri flashed.
CLANG!
Naruto effortlessly blocked the strike, holding it back.
"Kakashi-sensei. Sakura-chan. Sasuke-teme. Nobody interfere," Naruto commanded. "This is my fight."
He suddenly pushed against Zabuza and sent the Mist ninja flying. Zabuza flipped in midair, landing feet-first against a tree and pushing off. He flew at Naruto, Kubikiri slamming into the ground. Naruto had leapt back, seeming to float as he gently settled to the ground.
Naruto's team watched in shock as their blonde, supposedly dead-last teammate fought Zabuza at his own game…and he was winning. Zabuza made an army of Mizu Bunshin, which then charged at Naruto.
Naruto released Muramune, which began spinning in midair like a buzzsaw. He spread his arms diagonally, and Muramune blasted away from him. Naruto then dashed after it, becoming a blur.
The sword cut through all the Bunshin, save one. Naruto caught the blade and blocked as the bunshin tried to cut him vertically, before spinning to the side and cutting thru it effortlessly. He then turned the blade vertical and drew his middle finger down the blunt edge of the blade. The Mizu Bunshin all exploded into water that then rushed at Zabuza like a tidal wave, stopping cold in front of him.
"Wha…?"
Zabuza stepped back involuntarily as two crimson, glowing orbs appeared in the wave before him. Naruto burst out and punched Zabuza in the face.
Zabuza grunted as Naruto then spun inside his guard and landed a solid blow to his solar plexus, winding him, then kicked him away.
"Agh!"
Zabuza found himself pinned to a tree in a seated position, Muramune stabbed through his shoulder.
"This is the end," Naruto said quietly.
Senbon whistled out of nowhere to impale Zabuza's neck.
Naruto removed Muramune from Zabuza's shoulder and the nukenin slumped to the ground.
A shinobi wearing the mask of a Kirigakure ANBU leapt down out of a tree.
"You were right. It was the end," he said softly.
"Let me guess…Kiri oinin?" Naruto grunted, miming the act of sheathing his blade, voice normal. As though sliding into an invisible sheath, Muramune slowly disappeared, before the hilt finally vanished and reappeared as the decoration on Naruto's arm.
The shinobi nodded.
"He's all yours," Naruto said, turning away.
"You aren't going to claim his Blade?"
Naruto glanced at the stranger over his shoulder.
"No. It's not that simple. He has to offer it to me himself."
"Ah."
The shinobi slung Zabuza over a shoulder and vanished.
Naruto calmly walked back to his team, and past them.
"You guys coming?" he called over his shoulder.
AN: This is my first multi-chapter fic, so...excelsior! I also changed how long the sword's blade is.
