(The Great White Fox Chapter 2)

Today was the day he was going to be assigned a sensei and he couldn't wait to get out into the world and see how much his training had paid off. He strapped Samehada to his back, and made his way towards the academy. Word had spread of his genius, and that created mix feeling amongst the village. The civilians thought the demon child was getting to powerful, but the shinobi saw it as a good sign. They believed he would be able to control the nine tails better if he was strong. Nobody said anything though, and none of the civilians knew his sword was one of the legendary swords of the mist.

'Man I really can't wait to get out and kill some ninja.' thought Naruto, as he walked down the street. "Greeesrsree" spoke Samehada. 'Hahaha true. I just don't know how much skill I can show. I know kenjutsu would be alright, as well as tiajutsu, but what about ninjutsu? The liquid body technique should stay a secret for now, but I think normal water jutsu will be alright.' thought Naruto. After a while he made it to his class. He had to admit he was disappointed. Six years of 'ninja' training and besides himself and Sasuke Uchiha, none of his class mates could use elemental ninjutsu, or really even improved. It was all theory, useless history, and a bunch of classes that were not important. His class mates didn't change at all over the years besides himself and Sasuke. Sasuke went from an annoying brat, to an annoying prick. Ever since his clan was massacred he only did three things. Brood, talk trash, and act like he was king of the world. Naruto just ignored him, since he never tried anything against him. They were both rookie of the year, and he could tell that pissed him off. Sighing, Naruto entered the class room. Inside Iruka was giving his congratulatory, when he saw him.

"Ahhh Naruto. I was beginning to think you weren't going to make it." Spoke Iruka, he was never mean to Naruto, and he didn't actively try and make him fail. He was neutral, and Naruto was sure to show his gratitude with respect.

"I'm sorry Iruka sensei. I was practicing water ninjutsu, and lost track of time." Spoke Naruto, as he gave a slight bow. Iruka knew why Naruto was somewhat respectful to him. Naruto had told him of his gratitude for being impartial in his judgment. Iruka was happy he had such a good effect on Naruto, because he did feel had for the life he had been forced to live. Naruto started to walk towards his seat, when Sasuke shot him a dirty look. 'I hope I'm not on his team.' thought Naruto.

After a while Iruka decided it was time to list off the teams. "Ok guy listen up. I'm about to list off teams, but I need silence. No interrupting." Spoke Iruka. (Same as canon)

'God why does thy hate me so!' Naruto screamed in his head. He couldn't believe he was on a team with a pink howler monkey, an emo, and a sensei he had never heard of.

After a while a man smoking a cigarette, and a woman with red eyes came through the door.

"I need Kiba Inuzaka, Hinata Hyuga, and Shino Aburame pleases. I am your sensei, Kurenia Yuhi." Spoke the red eyes woman, now known as Kurenia.

"And I need Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, and Choji Akimichi. I am your sensei Asuma Saritobi." Spoke the man smoking a cigarette, now known as Asuma.

The six genin got up, and followed there sensei's. Over the next teeny minutes different sensei's came and got there students, but Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura's never came. After two hours Naruto was done. Standing up he started walking towards the door.

"Where are you going Naruto-baka?" shouted the pink haired howler monkey. He really hated her, but she usually kept her distance. Now though he would be forced to tolerate her every day! He was considering quitting being a shinobi, at least of this village.

"It's obvious to me that our sensei doesn't care enough about us to be on time. If he isn't going to show us the respect we deserve then why should we show it to him? I'm going to go do something productive, like training." Spoke Naruto, as he walked out of the room. He figured he would start to master wind release, since it was one of the elemental training exercises he stole from the Uchiha library. He decided to go towards a lake, were mastering the wind release would be easier.

Sakura was shocked that Naruto would leave before there sensei even showed up. Yea she was mad that he had them waiting two hours past there time, but he was a jonin and they were fresh genin. She was about to say something when she herd Sasuke speak.

"I agree. If he doesn't think we're worthy of his time, then we should go train ourselves. At least we will get some training done." Spoke Sasuke, as he started to walk towards the Uchiha compound. He wanted to master a new fire jutsu, and sitting in empty class room with just a fan-girl was the last thing he wanted to do. He respected Naruto's strength even if he didn't like him. Sakura didn't know what to do, so she let her fan girl self-take over. Then she started to stalk Sasuke home.

After ten minutes, Naruto finally arrived behind the Hokage monument. There was a spot there with a small lake surrounded by a beautiful clearing. When he landed in the clearing he made a hundred clones. "Ok boys this is what we're going to. I want one hundred of you to grab a leaf and try and cut it down the middle. I want another hundred of you to try and cut those trees into fire wood." shouted Naruto. The clones instantly started getting to work. Naruto couldn't wait to start using a new element. He knew it would be much harder to use an element he didn't have an affinity for, but he had already mastered earth release. It was also an element he had no previous memories of learning, but he was determined to learn an offensive element. Naruto walked to the center of the clearing and rested into a meditative stance. He had herd of sensor type ninja, and ninja who trained in sensor techniques. He wasn't a sensor, but he wanted to learn how to do it. He got the idea from Samehada, because it gave him sensor like abilities. He didn't want to rely on Samehada, so he started to learn how to absorb chakra, and how to sense chakra. He could only sense chakra up to fifty feet, and it wasn't very clear but it was a start. His ability to absorb chakra was pathetic as well, but he was sure with master, and combining it with his tiajutsu, it would become very useful.

(One hour later)

"Sorry I'm late, a cat... Where are they?" Asked Kakashi, as he looked for his would be students. After a second of looking he found a note. He was shocked by what it said.

'Dear Kakashi Hatake.

I'm not going to wait on you. I don't know about the other two, but I refuse to be treated like a door mat, so I have decided to leave. Fail me if you want to, but it's you who are in the wrong not me.'

Kakashi was shocked. He couldn't believe all of his students left. He knew the Hokage was going to chew him a new one for this. Sticking the paper in his pocket he made his way towards the Hokage tower. After running for a minute he arrived in front of the Hokage's door. 'Knock knock' "Come in Kakashi" spoke the voice behind the door. Turning the doors knob Kakashi walked into the Hokage's office.

"Kakashi why are you here? Shouldn't you be spending some time with you team?" asked the old kage.

"I would but..." He stopped speaking, and handed the Hokage the note Naruto wrote.

The Hokage took the note with a quizzical look on his face, and started reading the note, after a minute he had a look of extreme anger. "Kakashi... I think I told you not to be late." Spoke the elder kage. He was radiating killer intent, and by Kakashi's face, he was having a hard time standing it.

"We'll I..." But he stopped when he saw the Hokage's look. The Hokage started to speak once more.

"If you say you got lost on the rode of like Hatake, then you might as well hand in you ninja headband right now." Spoke the Hokage in deadly voice.

Kakashi was scared. The Hokage had never called him Hatake. And when he threatened to take his headband away, he knew he was serious. Lowering his head he spoke. "I was reading the newest edition to the icha icha series. When I realized I was going to be late I just continued to read. After three hours I put a marker in my book, and went to go great them."

"I am VERY disappointed in you Hatake! Is that book so important to you that you would ignore the future of Konoha? Those three students have been in the academy for six years! They have waited for this day for a long time, and you didn't even have the common curtsy to be on time! You are here by restricted from reading any smut book for a month and your pay for this month will be reduced by half! You will go and find your students, apologize, and then give them there test. Is that understood Hatake!" shouted the furious kage.

Kakashi hung his head in shame. He hadn't thought about anyone but himself, and now everyone was suffering for his selfishness. "Yes Hokage-sama. I'll go and find them right now." Spoke Kakashi, as he shunshined out of the office. Outside Kakashi tried to find his students. He could sense the Uchiha kid, and the girl at the Uchiha compound, but couldn't find the village pariah. He left in a shunshin to the Uchiha main house to get his future students.

In the Uchiha compound Sasuke was practicing his interceptor fist. It would have been peaceful, if it wasn't for a certain fan girl screaming his name ever five seconds. Then out of the corner of his eye, he saw a man coming out of a shunshin. He had gravity defying hair, a mask over his mouth, and his headband over his right eye. He looked weird to Sasuke.

"Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno. I am your sensei Kakashi Hatake. I'm sorry for my tardiness, and have come to collect y'all." Spoke Kakashi.

"Ohhhh so you finally decided to show up? Humph whatever. What are we doing next "asked Sasuke, as he continued to train?

"We need to find your other teammate. Do y'all know where he is?" asked Kakashi. Instantly he knew that both of them held a dislike of the red head. They didn't know where he was and didn't care.

"Hmmmph! He said something about training, but other than that I don't know." Spoke Sasuke. "Why does it even matter? Sasuke-kun and I don't need the useless baka Naruto anyways!" shouted the pinket.

"We have to be a team. That means all four of us. Hmmmmm how am I going to find him in such a short amount of time? Ahhhh I got it. Summoning jutsu!" shouted Kakashi, as he went through a few hand signs. Instantly a pack of dogs with leaf headbands appeared.

"Yoh Kakashi what's up?" asked the littlest one.

"Pakkun I need you to find a student of mine. I can't find him, and I can't sense him either. Do you think you can find him?" asked Kakashi.

"Sure, but we need a scent to follow, so we will have to go back to the school." Spoke Pakkun.

"Alright lead the way." Spoke Kakashi. They followed Pakkun for the next hour before coming across a small clearing. In the center was Naruto. He had a leaf in his hand. Instantly it cut down the middle.

'He has already mastered the first step in wind manipulation. His school reports say that he is highly skilled in water release, and knows an earth release technique. He must be trying to master another element. He's like another Itachi.' thought an absent minded Kakashi. After watching for a second Naruto turned around, and looked in their direction.

"Are all of y'all just going to keep staring at me, or are y'all going to tell me why your all here?" asked Naruto. He had a good idea why they were here, but didn't feel like making that known.

"Naruto-baka! We have been searching for you, for an hour! We need to get our team meeting started!" shouted Sakura, trying to look useful to Sasuke.

"Shut up Haruno! So what if you had to look for me for an hour. I had nothing to do with that, it was your own choice to come look for me. It's not like I didn't have to wait two hours for a mentally challenged teacher who never showed up." Spoke a pissed Naruto. He hated his team. He had the last brooder, a pink haired fan girl who only wanted to be the emo's meat shield, and a stupid teacher who couldn't get his time right.

Seeing things going south quick, Kakashi decided to step in. "Alright alright. I came here to apologize for my tardiness, and to try and get our team meeting started. Since today was a bad day, how about we let bygones be bygones and start over?" asked Kakashi.

"Whatever." was Naruto's only response.

"Alright now that that is settled let's start the introductions. I am Kakashi Hatake. My likes are a few years too old for you three to understand. My hobbies are as well, and my dislikes are none of your business. My dream... Well I don't actually have one at the moment. Ok your turn pinky." Spoke Kakashi.

Sakura wasn't pleased about the nickname, but persevered. "My name is Sakura Haruno. My likes are (looks at Sasuke and giggles), my hobbies are (looks at Sasuke and giggles), my dislikes are Naruto-baka, and Ino-pig. My dream is (looks at Sasuke and giggles)." Spoke the blushing pink head.

'I wonder if she will try and rape him.' wondered Naruto.

'Ok well she's an extreme fan girl.' thought Kakashi.

'...' thought Sasuke.

"Ok your turn emo." Spoke Kakashi. He was having fun with their nicknames, and he was loving there facial reactions.

"Hmmph! My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I have no likes, my hobbies are training, my dislikes are far too many, and I don't have a dream, because dreaming is for people who can't make their dreams a reality. My goal is to kill a certain someone." Spoke Sasuke with conviction.

'He has serious issues. I wonder how he passed the mental evaluation to become a ninja.' thought Naruto.

'So he wants to kill Itachi huh..." thought Kakashi.

'Sasuke is so cooooollllllllll!' thought the starry eyed Sakura.

"Ok your turn shark boy.' Spoke Kakashi, referring to Naruto's habit of caring Samehada with him everywhere he went.

"Hhhhhmmmmmm well I'm Naruto Uzumaki. I like Samehada, I enjoy training, I hate the pink haired fan girl, and the last brooder. My dream is personal." Spoke the bored tone of Naruto.

'Hmmmmmm he seems like the most normal one on this team' thought Kakashi.

'Hmph! He's just jealous he will never be as strong as Sasuke-kun!' shouted inner Sakura.

'At least not everyone will be useless on this team.' thought the last brooder.

(Kakashi explains the test, and everything else. Skip over to the test.)

"Alright you three the test will begin... Now" shouted Kakashi. Sakura and Sasuke run into the forest to hide. 'Hmmmmm Sakura is painfully obvious, and Sasuke is ok, but could use some work. Now what are you thinking Naruto.' wondered Kakashi. He looked to his left and saw Naruto hadn't moved. "Uhhhmmmm Naruto. This is the part you're supposed to hide, and try and catch me off guard."

"Hmmmm I guess it is. Sorry I'm not much of a hider. 'Even though my silent killing, and hidden mist technique allows me to.' thought Naruto. So I'm just going to go head on." Spoke Naruto.

"Hmmmm well it is your choice." Spoke the skeptic Kakashi.

"Ok here I go! Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!" shouted Naruto. Instantly a massive amount of water came out of his mouth, and rushed towards Kakashi. Kakashi was so shocked that not only could Naruto use a technique of this level, but also without the use of a preexisting water source. He didn't have anywhere to run, and was instantly caught in the giant wave. In the wave he was violently tossed about until he ran into a tree. Eventually the water calmed down, and leveled out.

"Cough! Cough! Cough! How 'cough' were you able to use water 'cough' ninjutsu on that scale without the need for a preexisting waster source?" asked Kakashi, as he attempted to catch his breath.

"I have sealed a bunch of water in some scrolls earlier so I would be prepared. I have also mastered all of the water release exercises along with the shape manipulation exercises." Spoke Naruto, as he removed Samehada from his back. He didn't want Kakashi knowing about his unnatural water affinity.

"That's amazing Naruto. Your full of surprises aren't you. First its Samehada, now it's your Fuinjutsu skills, what's next?" Laughed a jelly legged Kakashi.

"This." Spoke Naruto, as his hair hardened and shout out at Kakashi like a shower of senbon.

"You can use the hair based ninjutsu as well!" shouted a worried Kakashi. He didn't know Naruto knew that as he couldn't figure out how Naruto was already so skilled with earth and water release add this into the mix and he was starting to get a headache.

"I was able to find a scroll describing it a while back and thought it would be useful. It comes in handy when using Samehada." Spoke Naruto, as he blasted off towards Kakashi. He pulled back and cut him in half. Instantly he turned into water. 'Water clone!' thought Naruto, until he heard Kakashi speak.

"Fire style: great fireball jutsu!" Looking behind him, he saw a giant fireball coming his way. He just lazily raises Samehada up, before bringing it down, cutting the fireball in half. He was able to absorb the chakra in the jutsu before any of it was able to escape.

"So it's true. The Samehada can eat chakra, even chakra that has been formed into jutsu." Spoke Kakashi.

"Yes it can. Water Release: Five Feeding Sharks!" Shouted Naruto, as five water sharks formed under the water and tried to eat Kakashi. As they were doing that, Sakura and Sasuke were at a loss. Sakura couldn't believe how strong Naruto was, and that he was able to fend off there sensei with such ease. Sasuke's thoughts were a bit darker then hers. He wanted Naruto's power for himself. Those techniques along with that sword would give him a great advantage over his brother.

"Hmmmm you're stronger than I thought you would be. I figured you were lazy and pathetic, but I can see you're actually pretty strong. More than likely you will be a terrible teacher, but that doesn't matter right now." Spoke Naruto, as he charged Kakashi.

'How do I fight him? With that sword my ninjutsu seems pointless. In this water he has the home field advantage, and with his reserves he could go all day. I'm just glad he can't use the nine tails chakra because if he could I would be screwed!' thought a worried Kakashi. He did the only thing he could do in this situation. Bringing his hand up, he brought up his head band, revealing a sharingan eye.

"What the fuck? You have an implanted sharingan?" Spoke Naruto. On the inside he was pissed. 'This is going to make things much harder. This is probably why he's so lazy. After he got that implant he must have gotten use to using it in a tight spot, so now he just lounges around' thought Naruto.

"Yes I do. (He tells him the story about Obito, and Rin)" spoke Kakashi.

"Hmmm I bet you don't have that headband over that eye for no reason. I know that foreign organs can cause stress on the body, and since that sharingan isn't natural I bet it takes up a lot of chakra to use. I'm sure it does more than that, but it means you're not suited for long fights like I am." Spoke the grinning Naruto. He knew if he used the hidden mist jutsu, his silent killing style, and didn't use any ninjutsu then that eye would only be wasting chakra. But he decided to get a little more experience.

"You're very perceptive Naruto." Spoke the calm voice of Kakashi. But on the inside he was having a heated debate. 'He's right. I have to end this now, or I will run out of chakra soon. I never thought I would be pushed this far by a genin.'

"Hmmmph! Well I don't like my ninjutsu being copied, so I'm going to stick with kenjutsu." Spoke Naruto as he dashed towards Kakashi.

Kakashi quickly went through a few hand signs. "Water style: water dragon jutsu!" Shouted Kakashi, as a giant dragon with yellow eyes came out of the water. After it formed, it charged towards Naruto. Naruto rose up his sword, and cut the water dragon in two. After he did that he continued his charge towards Kakashi. Kakashi seeing this pulls out a kunai to try and defend himself. Naruto channeled more chakra into his muscles, so when Samehada met the kunai it blasted Kakashi out of his way.

"Even with that eye you are no match for me. You ninjutsu won't work, I'm far better in kenjutsu, my reserves dwarf yours, genjutsu doesn't work on me, my tiajutsu is better, and I have many more advantages. Admit it, I'm stronger then you." Spoke Naruto, as he took up an arrogant pose.

"You shouldn't let your confidence get the best of you Naruto" said Kakashi, as he dissolved into water.

"A water clone" spoke Naruto, as he felt the cold edge of a kunai against his throat.

"I believe I win." Spoke Kakashi. He was shocked at how powerful Naruto was. He had to use his sharingan, an A ranked jutsu, and a couple other techniques.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that Kakashi." Spoke Naruto, as he dissolved into water.

"He knows the water clone jutsu as well!" shouted Kakashi, as he felt the scaly touch of Samehada on his shoulder.

"Check mate." Spoke the grinning Naruto.

"How? When?" asked Kakashi.

"Ha you have been fighting a clone all along. After my first attack, when you were being beaten around like a rag doll. I made the water clone, and hid underwater. I've been watching you this whole time. Haven't you wondered why I could always find you?" Spoke Naruto. He wasn't going to tell Kakashi the truth about his sensor abilities.

"We'll I must say Naruto I am very impressed. I will have to tell the Hokage you need to be placed in a higher position, maybe a special jonin if he's feeling generous." Spoke Kakashi. He could feel Naruto remove the Samehada from his shoulder.

"Hmmmmm! Whatever. It doesn't matter to me. I'm just going to continue to train as hard as I can every day anyways. So I'm guessing we failed the test then. Well I'm gone. I don't want Sasuke demanding I teach him my jutsu, or giving him Samehada." Spoke Naruto.

"That sounds reasonable. Ill inform the Hokage about your rank and about finding a new teammate to take the test." Spoke Kakashi

"Whatever. I got to go, and see if there's anything new I want to learn." Spoke Naruto, as he ran towards the village.

'Amazing! I can't believe he put me on the ropes like that. His water affinity, the Samehada, and all of the training he mentioned he has been doing for the last six years has really paid off. I guess Konoha has its own shark now.' thought Kakashi. He wasn't looking forward to talking to the other two students.

(2 hours later: Hokage's office.)

"Teams one through six...failed!" Spoke the senseis.

"Team seven needs a redo." Spoke Kakashi. Everyone looked at him like he was crazy.

"And why do you believe your team needs a redo?" asked the Hokage.

"We'll Naruto is a LOT stronger than any genin should be. So I need a new student, because Naruto should be placed in a higher position." Spoke Kakashi. Everyone was starting at him like he was crazy. Finally the Hokage recovered, and asked him to explain. Kakashi went on and told them a very detailed account on their fight. He told them about his affinity for water, mastery of the Samehada, use of hair based ninjutsu, and his giant reserves. Needless to say everyone in the office was bug eyed.

"Kakashi are you serious?" asked the shocked kage.

"Yes. I even used my sharingan against him, and even then it wasn't enough, though I did go easy on him not realizing how strong he really was. If he had my experience, a few more years, and I believe he would be even more powerful then you sir." Spoke a very serious Kakashi.

The elder kage rubbed his temples before speaking. "Ok. It is clear to me that Naruto is too advanced to be a genin, but I can't just make him a jonin or ANBU. He isn't mentally ready for that kind of work. You will be given a new student to take your test tomorrow, and Naruto will be given a special title that allows him to self-study. He will be a backup one man team." Spoke the old kage. Everyone was shocked by this, but if what Kakashi said was true then it was for the best.

(The rest of the meeting was the same.)

Naruto was back in the clearing working on his wind release. He wanted to master it as quickly as possible, so he could use it with his throwing weapons. He had heard about a technique that was called chakra flow. By flowing his wind chakra through his weapons, he could increase their cutting capabilities by a large portion. He was thinking of learning lightning release next. It would work great in conjunction with his water release, and like his wind release he could channel it into his hair and increase his Needle Senbon jutsu. He was absolutely giddy thinking about it.

Naruto was working on cutting a waterfall, when an ANBU member with a cat mask on appeared.

"Hmmmmm. And what does konoha's greatest protector need with me? I know you're not hear to protect a demon child, because your 'honorable' organization has failed many times in that department." Spoke Naruto with much venom. He hated the ANBU, almost as much as the civilians that lived in Konoha. Even though they were assigned to protect him they never did. They would watch as he was attacked, and only took him to the hospital if they didn't think he would make it.

The ANBU was shocked by the venom in such a young boy's voice, but if what she had heard about the ANBU's 'protection' of the boy was true, then she couldn't blame him."Hehemm. I have been sent here by the Hokage to inform you that you are to receive a special title. You are from this day forth, an elite genin. You will have access to the chunin library, and will also be allowed to self-study. You will be used as a one man support team for when teams are in over their heads." Spoke the cat ANBU. She was expecting him to be happy about his promotion, but was shocked at the look of hate in his eyes that he held for her. She knew it wasn't her that he hated, but the fact that she was an ANBU. Still it made her very uncomfortable, to just be stared at like that. Finally he spoke to her.

"Hmmmmph! Great I get to be a meat shield while some weaklings make their escape. Wow now I'm just on pins and needles." Spoke Naruto. He hated the ANBU, and just because an ANBU was the one that gave him the message made him hate it.

"Tell that old kage to NEVER send another ANBU my way, for any reason." Spoke Naruto, as he got back to his training. The cat ANBU nodded, before shunshining away.

'Hmmmph! I can't stand this place. I need to become more powerful, so I can leave!' thought Naruto, as he redoubled his efforts.

Over the next month Naruto mastered his wind release. He then had his clones check out all of the chunin level water, earth, and wind jutsu. After they copied them down, they returned the originals. The second month was mastering all of the jutsu he copied. He also was able to sneak out a couple of jonin jutsu from the library without anyone finding out. The earth style jonin jutsu was the 'earth release: earth spear' jutsu. The water release was the 'water style: water dragon' jutsu. For his wind release, he stole the chakra flow technique. He quickly mastered them. Now he was just training to further his skills. Suddenly a jonin appeared behind him.

"Naruto Uzumaki. The Hokage has a mission for you." Spoke the jonin, before he shunshined away.

"Hmmmm? Wonder which team got in trouble this time." asked Naruto, before using a water shunshin to go towards the Hokage's tower.

"Old man what's the mission?" asked Naruto, as he came out of his shunshin.

"Ahhhh Naruto! I'm so glad you are here. Team Kakashi has run into some trouble and I need you to help them." Spoke the elder kage.

"Ohh? And what does the scarecrow need my help with?" asked Naruto as he crossed his arms.

"Apparently he and his team ran into Zabuza Momochi, the demon of the mist. He is a rogue member of the seven swordsman of the mist and the user of the Kubikiribōchō. I need you to go and back up his team. You will be in command until Kakashi recovers." Spoke the Hokage.

"You know the last brooder, and his pink haired meat shield won't follow my commands." Spoke Naruto. He was happy for once, because he was going to get to fight a member of the seven swords men of the mist. Now he could see if his training had paid off.

"I have already thought of that. In this scroll is a message to the both of them, detailing what will happen if they don't follow orders?" Spoke the Hokage. Naruto reached down and took it from him, as well as his mission scroll. After that he left to catch up with Kakashi and his team.

After a couple of hours of constant running Naruto finally came to the run down country of wave. Using his chakra sensing technique he quickly pinpointed Kakashi's chakra source. He quickly shunshined to the front of the house he was staying in.

'Knock' 'knock' 'knock'

"Hello! Uhhmmmmm hello, who might you be young man?" asked a beautiful woman with dark blue hair.

"Naruto Uzumaki. I am the ninja Konoha sent to back up team Kakashi." Spoke Naruto. He saw the shocked and skeptical look in her eyes. 'She must have been expecting an older, or more than one ninja.'

"Ohhhh well please come in. The sensei is up stairs resting, and the other two are in the kitchen. By the way my name is tsunami." Spoke the woman. He followed her through the house, until he came across Sasuke, Sakura, and a kid he had never seen before. He was pail, black hair, with black eyes.

"What are you doing here Naruto-baka!" Shouted Sakura, right before Naruto back handed her into a wall. After that everyone was looking at him wide eyed.

"Now that that giant mouth if yours is shut Haruno, you will listen to what I have to say in COMPLETE silence. The Hokage has sent me to back up this team. That means that I will be in command while Kakashi is out of commission. The Hokage has written down it this scroll what will happen to you three if you refuse to follow my command." Spoke Naruto, as he handed Sasuke the scroll. He watched the angry look in Sasuke's eyes intensify as he read. Finally he threw it at Sakura, who read it also. Finally she handed it to the pail kid. After he got done he handed it back to Naruto with a fake smile on his face.

"Now that that is settled mind I forming me what has happened." Spoke Naruto.

For the next hour the pail kid gave him a very detailed explanation of their time together. He was sure to tell Naruto about their two fights in great detail.

"Hmmmmm. Zabuza is like Kakashi's kryptonite. His hidden mist technique makes the sharingan useless against him, and there is plenty of water around here for him to use. After the damage he suffered, he should be back to perfect health in a week. The same applies to Kakashi. We will take watch guarding the bridge builder. Another person will guard the house. If one of the other members of the family leaves they should also have a guard, although I suggest that y'all do not leave the house until we have killed Zabuza and Gato." Spoke Naruto. After that he set out giving his temporary team there guard schedule. They continued this for four days, until Kakashi awoke and retook command. After that they went lax and Kakashi started to teach them the tree walking exercise while Naruto guarded the bridge builder. After a week they finally confronted Zabuza.

"Ha! Looks like we meet again Kakashi. I'll kill you this time, and then your kids!" shouted Zabuza. Behind him were four mist ninja. From there chakra signatures, Naruto figured they were low class chunin.

"Sorry Zabuza, but I was sent to kill you from Konoha. You'll have to kill me if you want to kill Kakashi. Now, let's see which of us the better swordsman is." Spoke Naruto, as he grabbed Samehada. When Zabuza saw Samehada, he knew he was in for a tough fight. Quickly he signaled for his team to attack while he activated the hidden mist jutsu.

"Ha! You won't be able to beat me in this mist, even with Samehada!" laughed Zabuza.

'Doesn't he know you're not supposed to talk when using the silent killing style? I could easily get rid of this mist with Samehada, but that would be too easy. Let's see who's better with the silent killing technique. Come Samehada! Let's use your new form!' Thought Naruto, as Samehada flattened out.

Instantly he heard the Kubikiribōchō coming. Bringing up Samehada, he blocked a strike to the neck, and pushed Zabuza off him. He then proceeded to have a sword fight. Zabuza was slow, and had to use both hands just to swing his sword. Naruto on the other hand was fast, and could wield the Samehada with one hand.

"Ha you call yourself a swordsman of the mist! You can barely swing that thing, and you tire out so easily! I'm surprised you have lasted this long out here" spoke Naruto. He was very disappointed in Zabuza's skill. In his memories, the wielders of Samehada were all S ranked ninja. He figured Zabuza was mid to low A ranked nuke nin at best.

"What did you say? I'm the best swordsman in mist! I nearly killed the Mizukage didn't I?" shouted Zabuza, as he tried to get behind Naruto.

"You tried to kill him when he wasn't suspecting it, and still failed. Kisame was able to hold off the Mizukage's entire army, and kill him when all by himself. I admit Kisame was a selfish bastard but at least his name will never be forgotten in the Mist where you little fifteen minutes of fame will slowly fade away. Kisame was undoubtedly the strongest ninja the Hidden Mist has ever had!" shouted Naruto.

"Kisame was weak compared to me!" shouted a delusional Zabuza. He went to cut Naruto in half from behind, but was shocked when 'Naruto' turned into water. 'Water clone' was all he could think, before his head was removed by Naruto and Samehada.

"Hmmmph! Weak! You were a disgrace to the name of the other members of the seven swordsman of the mist. I will take you sword, and bring it back to the glory and fear it once held around the world." Spoke Naruto, as he strapped it under Samehada. Samehada wasn't happy Naruto was holding another weapon. He was without a doubt its favorite wielder ever, and it didn't want to share. It's jealous quickly subsided, when the steady flow of demonic chakra was absorbed into it as payment for using his flat form.

Slowly the mist started to subside, and Sakura and Sasuke were passed out on the ground. Kakashi looked tired, as well as Sai, as he had come to learn his name was. That's when they heard clapping. Turning back Naruto saw a short fat man surrounded by about a hundred thugs.

"We'll done. Now I won't have to kills those idiots when they were done. That means my boys will have to kill you. Get them boys." shouted the fat man.

"Hmmmmm. Let's see one hundred thugs, vs. one ninja. I think it's obvious who will win." Spoke Naruto, as mist started to thicken around them.

Naruto grabbed the Kubikiribōchō and used the silent killing technique. The bandits never saw it coming, and were long dead before they could scream. Finally the mist cleared revealing a clean Naruto, and one hundred dead bandits.

"How!" shouted the scared business man.

"I'm just that good." Spoke Naruto, as he picked Gato up by the neck.

"Please I'll give you anything you want! Money, women, land just name it and its yours! Just please release me!" shouted the trembling Gato.

"Hmmm if I can have anything, then I want... All of the water in your body." Spoke Naruto, as he started to forcibly suck all if the water out of Gato's body through his hand. Gato had a look of absolute pain on his face. After a few seconds he was nothing but a husk. Naruto dropped him, and started to walk towards Kakashi's team.

"Hmmmmm this wasn't near as challenging as I thought it would be." Spoke Naruto. Sasuke and Sakura had woken up, and Sai and Kakashi had caught their breaths.

'Danzo-sama will want to know about the boy's immense skill.' thought Sai.

'You truly are very powerful Naruto.' thought Kakashi.

'Finally I have awakened my sharingan. When I master it, I will defeat Naruto and take that sword. Then I will kill Itachi!' thought a very happy Sasuke.

'...' Rated 21 or over for Sakura's thoughts about Sasuke.

After everything was said and done team Kakashi, plus Naruto were on their way towards the village hidden in the leaves. Sasuke was miffed that the villagers of Wave had named there bridge 'The Great Uzumaki Bridge. 'Sakura was just fantasizing about Sasuke like usual. After a few hours of running they arrived inside the Hokage's office.

"So Naruto, tell me about the mission." Spoke the elderly kage. And so Naruto told him everything that had happened. He was very vocal in his disappointment in his fight with Zabuza. He wanted his fight with a member if the seven swordsman to be epic, not sad. After finishing his report, Kakashi told him how the mission had gone before Naruto had arrived.

"We'll I must say Naruto you handled yourself expertly. If you chose to partake in the chunin exam, I'm sure you will pass. If you do well enough, I might even make you a special jonin. Congratulations on your first A ranked mission, and unlocking the sharingan Sasuke. I hope your pay will be worth it, and Naruto before you go I have another mission for you." Spoke the elderly kage. After team Kakashi was gone the Hokage spoke.

"I know you wish to fight a more challenging member of the seven swordsmen. I have recently obtained info on another rogue member of their group. His name is Raiga Kurosuki, and he is the wielder of the Kiba blades. He has enslaved a town called Katabami Kinzan, and is forcing the people to work in the gold mines. If anyone breakers his 'laws' then they are buried alive. I need you to go to this town, kill Raiga, and save its people." Spoke the elderly kage. To his shock he saw Naruto actually smile a real smile.

"I'll leave now!" Spoke Naruto, before he ran out of the village at top speeds.

"Do you think that was a good idea sir" asked one of the ANBU that were hidden in the shadows.

"He is a water release master; he has the Samehada blade, can use a jutsu without hand signs, and has been training himself past the breaking point for over six years. I dare say he may one day be the strongest ninja in this village in a few years" spoke the smiling kage.
