Chapter one: Revelations
Team seven walked quietly through the road after the grueling battle they had fought with the now deceased Momochi Zabuza and Haku. Sakura turned her head towards her raven haired teammate and touched his shoulder slightly. "Sasuke, have you noticed Naruto has been quiet since after the battle with Haku?" Sakura asked as Sasuke looked at her and nodded. "I Know" He said as Sakura looked at him, surprised he replied to her question. The two stared at a silent Naruto looking at his right hand with pain etched on his face. 'Haku…..'
Flashback: five days ago
A young girl walked barefoot and softly through the forest with a soft smile on her face as she held a small basket, looking for herbs until she spotted Naruto leaning on a tree, sleeping quietly. She reached inside her Kimono belt and took out a senbon and aimed at the sleeping genin but stopped herself. Instead, she put the senbon back into her Kimono belt and slowly walked up to the sleeping genin and smiled. "It's time to wake up" She said softly as Naruto opened his eyes and she could barely hold in her surprise. 'His eyes are beautiful' she thought to herself as he gave her a smile while he stood up and stretched.
"Hehe, thanks for waking me up miss" Naruto said as Haku stood up and smiled at him. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki, Future Hokage of Kohona, what's your name?" Naruto asked as he lifted his right hand and opened his palm towards Haku. "My name is Haku" She said with a smile as she shook hands with the young Genin. "It's good to meet you" They both said at the same time and laughed softly. Naruto looked down and noticed a basket with herbs inside of it and asked "Do you need some help with that?" Haku nodded lightly and together they searched for some medical herbs. "So why do you need these?" Naruto asked as he put some herbs he found into Haku's basket. "These are for my father" Haku said as Naruto looked at her and grinned, making her blush slightly. "I'm sure he's a nice guy since he raised such a nice and beautiful Girl" Naruto said as he returned to look for more herbs, missing the huge blush that now covered her face. A few hours later, Haku and Naruto laid down with a sigh as they looked at the clouds in the sky. "Do you have a dream Haku-chan?" Naruto asked as Haku turned her head to look at him and nodded.
"My dream is to protect my precious people from harm. What about You Naruto-kun?" Naruto gave her a wide grin as he stood up and did a heroic pose, making Haku laugh. "My dream is to become the Hokage even surpassing The Yondaime" Naruto said as Haku stood up and clapped her hands. "That's a wonderful dream Naruto-kun, I hope it comes true" Haku said as Naruto smiled softly at her. Haku smiled back as they sat back down and looked at the sky.
After half an hour of staring at the sky in peace, Haku sat up and sighed softly, knowing she would see him again in a few days. "I have to go now Naruto-kun" She said softly as Naruto looked up at her with a frown on his face but it turned into a smile. "Will I see you again Haku-chan?" Naruto asked as Haku smiled sadly.
"We'll see each other again soon" Haku said as Naruto stood up and helped Haku up with a gentle smile. "I hope so, I had so much fun with you today" He said softly as Haku smiled back softly and hugged him. Naruto, stunned hugged her back with a wide smile on his face. They stayed like this for a few minutes and then they let each other go. Haku gave Naruto a soft kiss on the lips and said "Thank you for a wonderful day" and with that, she left a stunned Naruto touching his lips with a dreamy smile on his face.
Two days later
Haku watched sadly as Naruto's hair fell over his eyes as he held Sasuke in his arms, tears threatening to fall from his eyes. "Is it the first time you've watched a comrade die?" She asked as she tried to keep her voice steady, her heart slowly broke as she watched a tear fall from Naruto's eye onto Sasuke's headband. "You'll pay for this" Naruto whispered fiercely as white mist rose around Naruto and around the ice dome. Haku watched in shock as Naruto's shining blue eyes change into blood crimson and his "whiskers" became bolder. Haku felt his chakra rising higher than her own and asked out of fear "What are you?!"
Naruto roared angrily as crimson chakra swirled around his body and out of the dome and taking shape as a head of a fox. Haku shot more ice senbon at Naruto, only to have him roar and send the senbon away. Haku flew out of the ice mirror and headed into another one only to have Naruto catch her left wrist. Haku was being flung back out of the mirror and getting nailed in the jaw from Naruto crimson covered fist. She flew out of his hands and through one of her mirrors and crashed landed hard on the ground. Naruto walked out of the dome and walked towards the battered Haku and stopped in his tracks as she stood up and he watched in sadness as half of her mask fell off, showing the face he wanted to see again until this day. Naruto's eyes slowly turned back to normal, but also showing fresh tears that was in his eyes.
"H-Haku? Haku felt tears fall from her eyes as Naruto slowly walked towards her, his tears falling from his eyes at a fast rate. "Why?" he asked tearfully as he stood in front of Haku. Haku threw herself into him as she cried on his chest. Naruto's Face was unreadable as she continued to cry. "I'm so sorry Naruto-kun" Haku said tearfully as Naruto stayed silent, his hands balled into a fist. Haku stepped back from Naruto and held her arms out.
"Kill me Naruto-kun, I have nothing left to live for now" Naruto looked at her with sad eyes and shook his head. "Naruto, I have nothing left to live for anymore. I'm nothing but a useless tool to Zabuza-sama now, please kill me" Naruto stared at her with an angry look on his face, his eyes flashing back to crimson. "Nothing Left to live for?! Haku, you have everything to live for…..You're not some useless tool to me" Naruto said softly as hugged Naruto tightly and gave him a bitter kiss on the lips which Naruto returned. Haku broke the kiss gave him one last smile.
"I want you to Become the greatest Hokage this world has ever seen" and with that, she ran into the Mirror and appeared in front of Zabuza and took Kakashi's Raikiri straight through her chest, killing her instantly. Naruto heard Haku scream and a body falling to the ground then he fell on his knees, his hot tears falling from his face as he heard a groan from the area Sasuke was laying in. Naruto quickly wiped his tears and ran towards a now living Sasuke and something in his mind snapped.
'Haku couldn't kill him' He thought to himself as he felt his tears returning but pushed them back and helped the drained Sasuke to his feet. "I didn't need your help getting up dope" Sasuke said as Naruto stayed quiet and ran from Sasuke and deeper into the mist. Naruto found Kakashi and Zabuza facing a huge crowd of renegades that was working for Gato. "I see that Bitch is dead and Zabuza doesn't look far from it" The short pudgy man said as Naruto growled fiercely at him. "How dare you talk about Haku-chan like that" Naruto said darkly as he walked slowly to the crowd of people only to be stopped by Zabuza. "Kid, I'll take care of them" Zabuza said as he gave an evil smirk towards the army of renegades as he walked towards Naruto and said "Haku spoke nothing but you these past few days while she helped heal me. You made her last days something special" Zabuza said as he ran towards the group and began to fight them.
After Zabuza killed Gato and most of his army, Kakashi laid the dying Zabuza next to Haku as Zabuza said "Thank you Hatake for doing this" Kakashi nodded as he noticed Sakura with a battered and wounded Sasuke hanging from her shoulders. "It's about time you two arrived" Kakashi said as the reunited team seven looked at Zabuza as he stared at the dead Haku and said "I did this to you Haku. I thought you were nothing than a mere tool in the beginning but now I see I was blind to think that" Zabuza struggled and used his left and to touch Haku's cold cheek.
"I know you're in a better place but I also know I won't be going to that place" Zabuza said as he turned his head towards Naruto and said "Kid, I want you to use my blade –coughs- for good, not for the reasons I used it for" Naruto nodded as he watched Zabuza close his eyes and smiled.
"For the first time in my life, I've never been this happy" Zabuza then closed his eyes and breathed his last breath. Naruto turned his head towards the fallen ninja and bowed in respect. 'Goodbye Zabuza' Naruto thought to himself as he saw a snowflake fall from the sky. "Is this your doing Haku?" Naruto said as he turned his head back to Haku and noticed a lone tear falling from her eye. Naruto gave a sad smile and leaned over Haku's body and kissed her forehead. "Goodbye Haku-chan"
End flashback
"Naruto, are you alright?" Kakashi asked as Naruto looked at him with cold blue eyes. "I'm fine Kakashi-sensei" He said as Kakashi took out a scroll and threw it to Naruto and said "After you went to sleep after the battle, I sealed Zabuza's sword into this scroll" Naruto caught the scroll and thanked his Sensei and continued to think in silence. 'I want you to Become the greatest Hokage this world has ever seen' Haku's voice suddenly played in his mind as he smiled gently, looking at the sky. 'Haku, I will protect my precious people and I will become the greatest Hokage, that's a promise of a lifetime'
Naruto: If I want to protect my precious people, I need to know how to wield this sword first. But I wonder who will help me
