- – -

Naruto Uzumaki followed the squad of anbu through the forest, already they had traveled for a day heading in some direction only they knew of. With only a backpack of belongings and what money the Hokage could stuff in his hands he followed the masked man through the forest hoping he could make a start somewhere.
"Where are we going exactly? What country?"

The anbu didn't so much as turn his head in recognition.

"I mean it can't be a greater nation on what those old geezers said right? So a lesser nation or maybe one that doesn't have a shinobi force?"

Sighing again he realized he would get nowhere with them. Following the man for another few hours his nose twitched picking up the smell of water. Following the tree line the trees broke apart realizing the ocean with a village on the other side.

"What is this place?"

"It is called wave country, it is a small nation but has no shinobi force."

"So I'm suppose to live here?"

"That is correct Uzumaki-san."

"So this is bye then?"

"Inde..." the man collapsed to the ground a kunai in his back. The other anbu turned but one with a boar mask attacked the two others before they could defend themselves. Naruto stepped back watching the three anbu fall to the ground.

"Hey what the..."

"Die demon."

'Help!'

'I do not "help" on a whim ningen, you are in luck someone else is following you.'

'Someone else?'

Yelling at the Kyuubi all he got was nothing in return, it was like the fox had killed the link.

Blinking he realized the masked man was atop him bringing down the kunai. Closing his eyes a second later he heard a loud oomph as the man's body went slack falling into Naruto and off to the side. Opening his eyes he looked down seeing the man lay there dead yet he couldn't find any weapons or marks.

"Naruto-kun!" came two voices. Looking up he looked at Shizune and Ayame, grinning he was glad to see them. Both girls raced to him hugging him.

"We heard what happened! Are you ok?"

"Me what about you two, Jii-Chan said you were hurt bad."

"We're fine we're tougher than that. We're just glad we caught up to you in time."

"How'd you find me? You followed me?"

"Oushi found brought us here."

"Oushi?"

"He came to the hospital and told us what was happening, that you were being banished to wave country. He told us that Danzou would take the time to kill you so we came to rescue you."

"How did you get all the way here? And why did he help you."

"We left right after you did, we had to catch up."

"Ok but who's Oushi?"

"I am." came a voice from above Naruto. Looking up he found a man in red standing in a tree, in...priest garb?

"A priest?"

"Do you find that so hard to believe? A priest in this day and age?" he said jumping down on the ground. Naruto stared at the man his long inky black hair and golden pupiliss eyes.

"You're a Hyuuga?"

"No I not a Hyuuga or a member of fire country."

"But you have that weird eye thing."

"The Byakugan?"

"Yeah but yours is uhh...golden?"

"A genetic mutation of a normal Byakugan."

"Ohh never heard of that."

"Neither have I but that's what the doctors tell me."

"So you brought them here, and came to save me?"

"Well I came with an offer as well."

"What kind of offer?"

"The Mizukage wishes an audience with you if you wouldn't mind, Kiri is most interested in you. We heard what was happening and about Kyuubis chakra. We also have two jinchuriki, the six tails and three tails who is able to control the beast."

'Feh more like pet, sanbi is nothing but a pet turtle...' came Kyuubis voice.

Grinning he shook his head.

"Ahh Kyuubi says sanbi is more like a pet."

"Yes for some reason sanbi is more animal like, in fact it's never been shown to speak to its host however it is a perfect...guest in it gives the host full access to its chakra, gives the host complete control of its transformation and even breaks genjutsu on them faster than one can react to it. Even though it is a pet it is a perfect bijuu for a jinchuriki, we are glad to have sanbi. It is too bad rokubi is not the same but one we will take."

"So you're a Kiri-nin?"
"I am a Kiri-nin yes though I am glad the Yondaime Mizukage is gone and the Godaime is in power now."

"What made him so bad?"

"He did many things genocide against the kekkei genkai clans for one, per hap's you've heard we are called bloody mist?"

"I've heard some..."

"I assure you we have changed our ways, in fact I am suppose to meet a team here. If you would care to accompany me we could sit down for a meal if you wish and talk over things."

Naruto looked at Shizune and Ayame.

"Of course they are invited, to lunch and into Kiri."

"I guess you did save my life."

"I am a priest I do not lie."

"Ok then deal."

"Good follow me and we'll see about lunch."

Following the man into the village Naruto wondered what else was in store for him.

- – -

"Where are we suppose to meet him?"

"Here in this restaurant." grumbled the man.

"Zabuza-sensei you should relax, I realize the people are staring at you but you don't need to sharpen your sword now..." sighed Haku.

"Yes sensei the people are afraid."

"Feh a little fear never hurt anyone."

Haku sighed rolling his eyes. Looking to his teammate who shrugged knowing they wouldn't be stopping Zabuza anytime soon.

"So this boy why are we suppose to meet him?"

"Naruto Uzumaki, jinchuriki to the nine tailed fox until a few days ago was an academy student but failed three times thanks to the Bushin no Jutsu."

"I remember my problems with it." said Haku.

"Yeah dumbass village doesn't even know how to train a jinchuriki right. Anyways one of his sensei's attacked him in the forest, both of his female friends fought him and both were wounded while he ran."

"Ran?" asked Kimimaro.
"Yeah but I guess after a little talk with his guest he summoned up some courage and let me tell you he dished it well, punched a hole in the teachers chest up to his shoulder and kicked him off a mountain."

"That's...interesting..." said Haku.

"Stupid village then gets afraid and banishes him, I mean seriously who banishes your greatest weapon? Well whatever they're lost Kiris gain."

"Your gain Zabuza-sensei?" asked Haku smirking.
"You know me to well Haku but yes we have been looking for a fourth in this squad and your third member and I couldn't jump fast enough when the Mizukage asked me to take this kid. She said I did such a fine job teaching you to control yours in a few short years she thought I could do the same with this kid. So I agreed while trying not to drool."

"You said he's behind in shinobi ways though."

"Yah the kids had no private training, only knows the three Konoha academy jutsus, crappy taijutsu, average speed, slightly higher strength, and that's about it. He needs some work, but after what I heard he did to that teacher I'll be more than happy to work him into the ground, I'll make a man outta him."

The door opened and the three of them turned to the entry seeing Oushi walk in with a blond haired boy, a dark haired and a brown haired girl.
"Girls?"

"Oushi and the Mizukage thought that his friends should come, the only friends he really has so whatever. The brown haired one is a civilian but the other is top of her class. Beat a shadow clone of a chounin, not bad really."

Naruto walked over to the table stopping in front of Zabuza who was sharpening his giant of a sword.

"Naruto meet Zabuza."

"Uhh hi?"

Zabuzas arm flexed and the sword moved at lightning speed. Naruto blinked and realized his head was put through the hole in the sword, one movement in any direction and his head would go rolling.

"Gotta a lot to work on I see."

"Hey what the hell!"
"Feh at least he didn't wet himself this time."

Naruto growled his eyes flashing red. Zabuza chuckled as red chakra leaked out of Naruto. Zabuza pulled the sword off him and Naruto sprung at Zabuza whose arm came out grabbing Naruto by the back of the shirt slamming him down his chin hitting the table with a loud bang. Naruto fell to the ground and Zabuza put his foot atop Narutos back.

"You think even with that chakra you can beat me?"

Naruto growled but the man wouldn't let him budge. He was sure Kyuubi was laughing in his cell somewhere, he could hear it.

"This is Zabuza Momochi one of the best jounin and anbu captains Kiri has to offer, I wouldn't piss him off Naruto."

"Tch just get off."

Zabuza pulled his leg away not before giving Naruto one last kick. Getting up and rubbing his side he stood crossing his arms.
"Now shall we eat or do you want another ass kicking?"

"Tch."

"I'll take that as a yes Zabuza-sama."

"Aniki how's it going?" asked Haku.
"Good getting into Konoha was easy really, some so called barrier, it's amazing what you can get in with a fake Konoha haed band and the right eyes."

"You had no problems?"

"Not a one, no one even realizes these two are gone, left shadow clones henged into them. They'll sleep a few more days and one night when no one's looking poof and by that time we'll be in Kiri and Konoha won't be the wiser."
"What about the Ne member? He killed the anbu right?"

"Ya took care of him, the bodies won't be found for another day or so we have plenty of time."

"It is good to see you, we were wondering how your mission went." said Kimimaro.

"You think having wear what I wear people might think it's a little out of place but no one even noticed."

"Let's eat shall we?" said Zabuza. Naruto, Ayame and Shizune sat down at the table with the Kiri-nins.

"Naruto, Ayame and Shizune right? I am Haku Takahashi it's nice to meet you."

"I am Kimimaro Kaguya."

"Nice to meet you, you guys a team?"

"Team Momochi yes though we are short one member still."

"Ohh."

"But we may of found one." smiled Haku. Naruto blinked looking at the dark haired boy.

"Me?"

"If you accept becoming a Kiri nin yes you would become the fourth member of this team."

"Why me I failed the academy exam three times."

"So would I of if it not for the right training."

"What do you mean?"

Haku smirked extending his hand over the table. Naruto watched his arm as a green chakra floated over his hand and arm.

"You're..."

"I am the jinchuriki of the three tails yes."

"So you're like me?"

"Indeed but I am not ostracized for what I am."

"Ostra what?"

"Treated badly?"

"Ohh..."

"I also have a kekkei genkai, the hyouton a mixing of wind and water to create ice. Kimimaro here has the Shikotsumyaku, he is of the Kaguya clan. In Kiri under the rule of the Yondaime Mizukage he sought to kill every person with a kekkei genkai, men, women, children, anyone. Kimimaro and I thanks to my aniki lived though in constant hiding. Even when I went to the academy with Kimimaro we had to hide our skills."

"A few years ago..." said Kimimaro, "The now Godaime Mizukage challenged the Yondaime and beat him in battle thus ending the reign of the Yondaime. The Godaime had all of us that secretly had kekkei genkais backing her because she is of only two people that we have ever heard of that have two kekkei genkais. So she was made our leader, and we came out of hiding. She proclaimed an end to the genocide welcoming all the kekkei genkai clans back to Kiri. Haku and I were free along with Oushi to use our kekkei genkais again under her rule."

"It was about three years ago I was asked to become the host to sanbi who was the bijuu of the Yondaime Mizukage, the last jinchuriki of sanbi. I agreed and I am happy to say I have become much stronger, though I am rare of all the host I have heard of I am the only one able to control and be in perfect synch with their host. We thought it was something to do with the Yondaime at first, but we realized that sanbi is basically a pet turtle who is almost...simple yet that helps his host fully and always. I still had to go through rigorous training to control the chakra of course but that's where Zabuza-sensei came in. I am sure if you want he could give you the same training, it would make you that much more powerful."

"Being able to control Kyuubi?"

"Or per hap's a mutual respect or partnership but yes being able to use its power and not be overcome by it."

"Sounds...interesting."

"It is worth it, the six tailed host is going through training but is having a much harder time."\

"I don't know Kyuubis...different."

"I could imagine but I am sure there is a way."

"Ahem." said both girls.

"Ohh this is Shizune-Chan and Ayame-Chan."

"A pleasure Shizune, Ayame." said Haku.

"The same." said Kimimaro.

"You're both Kiri-nins?"

"We are Zabuza is our jounin sensei."

"And Oushi?"

"We both lost our parents at a young age and Oushi found us giving us a home and family. He taught is to control and conceal our kekkei genkais. We went into the academy both top of our class though we had to keep our kekkei genkais secret from anyone. But when the Yondaime died in battle we were free to use our abilities and so are anyone else in Kiri. Oushi can as well."

"He has the Byakugan?"

"A mutated one but per hap's an evolved one would be more appropriate."

"Really what's it do?" asked Shizune.

"A practitioner of medicine?" asked Haku smiling.
"A bit but they really don't train med-nins in Konoha."

"A shame we in Kiri, almost all teams have a healer, in that case me. If you wish when we get to Kiri we could start you in the program."

"I'd like that."

"Anyways his Byakugan as far as I know or what he's told us it does a few things. He does not have the blind spot of the traditional Byakugan, his vision is further than any other well over twenty miles. He also has the ability to use any of the five elemental chakra except yin/yang chakra."

"What about the juuken or Hyuuga arts?" asked Ayame.

"He knows the juuken completely and all Hyuuga arts even the main houses. He has also created something called the elemental juuken which has made him one of the strongest people in Kiri. Of course he has other skills but he doesn't flaunt much however no one but the Mizukage would dare spar seriously with him."
"Wow he sounds strong."

"Oushi is also a sensor type, odd for someone that can see over twenty miles in every direction but he can sense chakra from a country away it seems." said Kimimaro.

"A skill I am trying to learn." said Haku.

"I've always wondered what the training for a sensor type was, they are rare even in Konoha." said Shizune.

"Yes either most don't believe they are needed, or per hap's they believe sensor types are not good fighters. I am not sure but it has it's uses even with the limited sensing I can do."

"I'll have to see about the training."

"A medic and sensor type are two things that work well together, I am proof of that."

"You think I'd be a good medic and sensor type Naruto-kun?"

"Yep Shizune-Chan you'd be the best!"

"Then I'll ask for the training."

Yelling was heard outside people running down the streets to the center of town flying by the window.

"What's going on?" asked Naruto.

"Byakugan..." said Oushi softly. Looking at the village he found the center of town. Nearly growling he turned off his doujutsu.
"Guess what you three your first mission."

"Huh?" said Naruto.
"There's a woman about to be executed outside."

"What!" yelled Naruto.
"There is a reason we stopped in the village. There is a man named Gato."

"The shipping magnet?" asked Haku.

"Yes him however he is into organized crime and a dozen other crimes. Your first mission to stop this execution, rescue the woman, kill Gatos thugs, and capture him."

"Capture him he's going to kill that woman!" yelled Naruto growling.

"We will kill him but first we will force him to sign over all his assets to us, all of them then we will kill him. He is quite wealthy and Kiri could always do with some more funds in its bank. Of course whoever stops him get's a cut of the money, a very large sum of money?" he smirked.

Naruto blinked looking at Haku and Kimimaro.

"Shall we?" asked Haku.

"Ya let's go kick ass!"

Walking out of the restaurant the three of the followed the crowd down the streets racing past them.

"Shall we go watch?" asked Zabuza. Getting three nods and throwing down money on the table they walked out of the restaurant following the crowd to the center of town.

Naruto, Haku and Kimimaro stood atop a building looking into the center of town. Narutos growling could be heard his eyes slitted already.
"Easy Naruto don't lose your cool."
"I know Haku but this kind of crap pisses me off! She's not even a shinobi."

"No it looks like Gato wants to make the bridge builder suffer."

"Bridge builder?"

"Gato is a shipping magnet, and wave country is an island. Tazuna, this woman's father wishes to build a bridge connecting the main land and the island therefore stopping the need for ships which Gato controls. He has in the past killed another man who stood up against him. It seems he's after the bridge builders daughter now."

"Bastard! How are we doing this?"

"We wait for him to be alone or surrounded by his thugs away from the people, we do not want to risk them or that they could be used as hostages." said Kimimaro.

"Fine say when..."

"A minute more he's giving some speech now. You can hear it Naruto if you channel chakra to your ears."

"Channel chakra to my ears?"

"Typically all shinobi channel chakra to their senses to see or smell or hear better. Even touch and taste are improved."

"You can also channel chakra continuous through your body so you can run faster, jump further, hit harder, many things are enhanced."

"I'll try."

Closing his eyes he summoned his chakra trying to think to pull it from within. Slowly his chakra awoke and he pushed it through his senses and body the bluish chakra filling his body with strength, speed and agility.

"I never knew you do this."

"You never wondered how those ninja jump so far in the village or out in the forest between branches?"

"Not really..."

"Just remember to keep it or you may take a fall you can't handle without chakra alone."

"I won't it's pretty easy really."

"Good Kimimaro, Naruto take the thugs, I got Gato."

"Right."

"Follow and remember to add chakra so you can make the jump."

Nodding he watched Haku and Kimimaro make a giant of a leap off the top of the building into the middle of the square. Stepping back then running forward he did the same his body nearly flying forward and up. Correcting himself he landed gracefully beside them.

"Who the hell are you three!"

Kimimaro wasted no time rushing forward bone spikes coming out of his palms. Two thugs stepped forward with swords only for Kimimaro to dodge and weave between the sword swipes pushing both bone spikes into each mans chest. Pulling back he immediately lashed out at another with a kick to the man's throat crushing it.
"Naruto help him."

"Huh right!"

Rushing in beside Kimimaro Naruto rushed one thug and dodged a messy punch. Cocking back his fist he slammed it into the man's face amazed at the damage it did. The man dropped like a sack of weights, Naruto knowing he was dead. Turning another rushed him and he felt his body go faster and become stronger. Blocking one punch that felt like nothing punching the man in the chest feeling his chest cavity implode.

"Easy there, we're here to help ok?" said Haku running his fingers along the rope it turning to ice. All of the binds were turned to ice Haku simply karate chopped the ice it shattering the binds coming loose. The woman stumbled forward and he caught her.

"Hold tight ok?"

"Huh?"

Flexing his legs he jumped from the middle of the square atop a roof where his sensei and Oushi were standing with Narutos two friends. Landing softly he put down the woman.

"Stay here."

Turning he jumped off the roof top to join his team. Oushi came forward slowly the woman looking up at him.
"I'm just going to make sure you aren't hurt ok? Just a little harmless medical chakra."

The woman nodded and he knelt down in front of her.

"Shizune you want to help me?"

"Sure."

Kneeling down next to him she watched a green energy engulf his hands. Touching the woman's forehead gently Shizune watched her sigh softly. The marks on her disappeared and she seemed to feel a lot better.

"Does it hurt anywhere?" asked Shizune.

"My arm they twisted it or something."

Reaching out for the woman's right arm she extended it seeing the woman flinch.

"Just a muscle tear we can heal that."

Oushi put his hand over her arm the green chakra seeping into her. Again she sighed and relaxed.

"There you'll be fine now." said Shizune smiling.

"Thank you but what are shinobi doing here?"

"It's a long story but let's say Gatos pissed off the wrong people and you never piss off a shinobi."

"Ohh."

"May I ask your name?"

"Tsunami."

"Is your family around here Tsunami?"

"I lost them in the crowd, my son and father."

"We'll find them in a moment after we do clean up."

Tsunami looked behind her at the three children seeing the bodies of dozens of thugs fall at their feet no doubt dead.

"Thank you I think."

"It's all a part of the job. Zabuza you want the duty of putting the fear of a demon into Gato?"

"Gladly little worm disgust me."

Zabuza jumped into the middle of the square grinning behind his bandages.

"He'll put the fear of God into him before he decapitates him."

Naruto took a breath feeling the thugs body go limp in his grasp.
"How many?"

Naruto blinked.
"What?"
"How many you kill?"

"I'm suppose to count?"

"Of course or we don't know who wins." said Kimimaro pushing a bone sword into ones chest and twisting.

"I dunno thirteen, fourteen."
"Ahh to bad I'm a twenty."

"Ahh ok...."

"Kimimaro likes to challenge Zabuza-sensei to see who can kill the most, bandits mostly but it's a fun game though I am forbidden to use my bijuus chakra, they say it is cheating." said Haku a senbon between each knuckle. Letting loose the needles Naruto watched three thugs get hit in the neck and drop.
"Twenty-two." said Haku.

"Twenty-three." said Kimimaro.

"Hey don't take them all!" said Naruto shaking his head growling. Rushing another thug he ducked one swing catching the man in the jaw a loud crunch echoing off the walls. The man fell and Naruto kicked in the man's throat for good measure.
"Fifteen."

"We'll let you have the last one Naruto." said Haku stopping with Kimimaro. Naruto looked past them to see a giant of a man well over seven feet tall stand there.

"You're leaving him to me?"

"Do you not want him?" asked Kimimaro.

"What no I'll take him."

Walking in front of the man who charged Naruto he took a calming breath.

'Hey fox how about a little juice?'

'For a pathetic monkey?'

'I can't let Haku and Kimimaro show me up!'

'I suppose I cannot get beat by a turtle either, so be it, this one time.'

Naruto grinned feeling Kyuubis chakra enter his body. Red chakra surrounded him and the giant man stood over Naruto bringing his fist down.

"Ahh!" screamed the giant only missing his right arm now. Naruto stood by Haku and Kimimaro holding the man's arm.

"Do I get extra points for beating him with his own arm?"

Haku looked at Kimimaro and shrugged.
"Originality counts."

"Great."

Rushing the giant man who was crying holding his arm he swung the arm at the man the arm smashing into his head throwing him into a building. The wall shattered and fell atop the man. Naruto turned chuckling the red chakra disappearing.

"Well how did I do?"

The ruble shook the man standing out of the rubble quickly standing and rushing Naruto his one arm out to kill him. Naruto turned and raised his arms to block to late.

Opening his eyes he watched the man stand there trembling. Of course Naruto would be trembling with your head in the middle of a giant sword.

"It's only original if you kill them!" yelled Zabuza pulling back on the sword decapitating the man. His head somehow stayed atop the sword pulling back with it as the body slumped to the ground a shower of blood pouring out of his neck.

"Sensei wins again..." sighed Kimimaro.

Zabuza grinned behind his bandages keeping the head atop the sword. Turning to the middle of the square he watched a short fat man tremble in fear. Lowering the blade to the man's eye level forcing him to stare the bodiless head in the eyes Zabuza laughed, an evil demonic type of laugh. The head went flying into the air and Zabuza brought down the blade over his head will all his strength cutting the head in two the sword crashing to the ground in front of Gato nearly slicing him into two.

"I can't stand scum like you, a coward who uses people."

"Please I'm sorry! I'll give you whatever, anything! Just please let me live!"

"Ohh you are little man. You have that check book on you?"

"Yes yes of course name the amount, a million, two, three?"

Zabuza laughed holding his gut as Naruto, Haku and Kimimaro smirked. Gato looked around confused.

"I don't just want some of it I want all of it!" laughed Zabuza.

"All of it? But...but..."

"It's either that or your life."

"Right..." said Gato his hand trembling. Oushi landed next to them letting the woman down. Zabuza looked over his shoulder at the Byakugan user.

"How much?"

"10.2 billion give or take some change."

"Why am I seeing him right millions on that check?" asked Zabuza.

"Dunno you think he's a bit slow?"

Zabuza grunted leveling the sword at Gato.

"All of it, 10.2 billion you can keep the change."

"Yes..." said Gato writing out the check. Tearing it off he handed it to Zabuza who looked it over.
"Seems right." said Oushi.
"Good well it's nice doing business with you Gato."

"I'm free? I get to live?"

"Of course we came for what we wanted you're free to go."

Gato laughed slightly and stood walking out of the square.

"Ohh Gato?" said Zabuza the sword over his shoulder. The business man turned and stared back at Zabuza.

"Catch!"

Zabuza threw his sword at Gato it spinning end over end faster and faster. Gato turned screaming and ran only for the sword to catch up to him slicing him in half from top to bottom his sides falling to the side the sword slamming into a wall half way in.

"Damn sensei wins again." muttered Kimimaro.
"No shit." said Naruto.

"Little worm got blood all over my sword."
Zabuza outstretched his hand his sword yanked out of the building by some invisible force it flying back into his hand. Zabuza flicked the blood off the blade and put it back over his back.

"Mom!"

Tsunami turned seeing her son run up to her, running up to him she grabbed him hugging him.

"Are you ok mom?"

"I'm fine these people saved me."

"Shinobi?" asked Tazuna.

"We're Kiri-nins." said Zabuza.

"Well thanks I think you saved wave country from Gato."

"This is yours." said Zabuza handing the older man the check.

"You're giving this to us?"

"Well some of it will be given to Kiri but the land of waves will keep most of it. Just have a bank deposited it into the Mizukage fund and whatever she decides you get, you keep to help wave country."

"How much we talkin?" asked Tazuna.
"Father!"

"Over three-fourths I assure you is yours. Besides isn't it customary to pay for missions or reward good by standards for saving a country?" asked Oushi smirking.

"I guess if we get t keep most."

"I'll keep that knowing you you'd spend it on alcohol and women or something." said Tsunami taking the check. Tazuna seem to pout.

"You're all welcome at our home if you want a place to stay or a meal."

"We were planning on staying a night then we should get home, that is if you're joining us Naruto?"

"Hell yah!"

"Good then team Momochi is finally complete." said Haku.

"Hopefully the brat isn't all hot air."

"Hey I did my share!"

"You cheated." said Kimimaro.
"Tch so I asked Kyuubi for help."

"Can't always rely on your bijuu Naruto trust me."

"I know Haku but the energy, the rush..."
"It's nice but brute force alone will not win you every fight."

"I know."

"In that case training starts tomorrow morning."

"Yes Zabuza-sensei." said all three.

"Good."
