Freedom ch. 2
Naruto looked down at the small out post that was their target. From the small cliff they had a birds eye view, and with the full moon illuminating it, they could see almost everything.
"Haku, what do you sense?" Zabuza asked in a hushed tone. In a month, Haku had been trained in being "Team Kage Killer's" sensor. She did it by using body temperatures or something, Naruto never really paid attention.
"13 chunin and 4 jonin." she stated calmly and pointed to the tents that held the jonin. They were all in a huddle.
"I'll take the section that has the jonin. I don't care what happens to the chunin, but be careful." he said his gaze lingering on Sasuke, who had picked a fight with every other person at HQ. It was almost impressive how much of an ass he could be sometime.
"Oh, and make it clear that we mean business. If we show the rebels that we aren't over our heads, then maybe they'll think twice before insulting us." Zabuza finished then motioned for them to wait as he went ahead.
Soon, mist started forming around the jonins tents and they charged, knowing that Zabuza was taking care of them.
Sasuke flipped through some hand signs, telling us to follow his lead.
He then used a fire jutsu to light his hands on fire. He had been bragging about the taijutsu style that went along with it called Hiken. Naruto had, of course, mocked the originality of the name, but didn't say anything after seeing it in practice.
The style lit the users forearms and fists on fire, then used these fist in areas sensitive to heat. The style was impossible to block due to the fact that the entirety of the human body was supseptible to fire. It was one of the Uchiha fighting styles for those that had yet to awaken their sharingan.
Sasuke charged the first tent, brushing his hand up against it to catch it on fire. He then ran through the out post, doing this to most of the tents. It had looked like he would be able to make it out before he was even detected, but a monster of a chunin had waddled out of his tent. Ironic that a sentry outpost only had one person on patrol.
"Intrud-ack!" he yelled, but was cut short by Sasuke burning hand griping his throat, probably melting a good bit of his vocal cords in the process.
Sadly, the yell was heard and many awoke to flames that covered their tents.
"Shit!" Naruto exclaimed, before dashing towards forward.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!" he aimed for the tents, trying to spread the fire. His plan worked as the flaming tent flew at the enemy shinobis. A few tried to call upon water jutsu, but they were no match for the wind enhanced blaze.
Soon there was just 5 chunin remaining, the rest having been burned alive.
They split up and ran in random directions, soon to be followed.

Naruto
Naruto stood in front of two of them. The first one was a short boy with black hair and beady eyes. He carried a tanto on his waist.
The second was a tall, bald man that wore priest robes.
Naruto quickly conjured two clones, flanking him on either side.
"Water Release: Gunshot!"
"Wind Release: Stream!"
The two clones shot their designated techniques while the real Naruto jumped into the air.
"Mizumaru, come quick. Water Release: Water Encampment Wall"
The wall managed to survive the dual onslaught, but the airborne Naruto was above the unsuspecting duo.
"Wind Release: Grappling Demon Claw"
He shot his left hand forward, and from in extended a green chakra arm infused with air.
The duo quickly separated, causing Naruto's jutsu to miss.
'Damn, I need to make that technique more flexible.'
"Nice try kid, but your no match for us." the short one said with a cocky grin on his face. "'Sides, haven't you rebels heard of us. We are The Twins of the Mist. Water Release: Hidden Mist."
With that, the mist began to form. Naruto had to repress a snort, Zabuza's mist was ten times thicker than theirs. That and he already had a counter for this move.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave."
Naruto spun in a full circle, launching blades of wind in every direction.
"Ugh"
One down.
The mist started to clear, to reveal that the bald one was the one hit. His guts were spilling out of the sizable gash in his stomach.
"Shiromaru!" Mizumaru cried as his partner fell to the ground, dead.
"You bastard!" he snarled at the blonde while drawing his tanto.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Blade." Naruto said as he pulled out a kunai and enveloped it in the super concentrated wind chakra.
They charged.
XxxzxxX
Haku
Her opponent was a tall girl with long black hair and bangs that covered her left eye. She was of medium bust and rather skinny.
She wore a typical battle kimono, not much different from herself, she noted.
They stared at each other, both in taijutsu stances, waiting for the other to move. Haku decided to take the first strike and flew forward, easily closing the space between the two females.
She started with a knife hand to the neck. Her opponent easily blocked, and countered with a punch to the diaphragm. Haku used her other hand to redirect the blow and separated from the enemy.
"Water Release: Thousand Flying Needles of Death!"
Moisture in the humid air suddenly turned to hundreds of senbon surrounding the other ninja. They flew at the kunoichi and killed her.
'Better go help Sasuke-niisan.'
XxxzxxX
Sasuke
He glared at his opponent. Said opponent was an water user, exclusively so. Everyone of his fire techniques had been put out immediantly. He couldn't even use his Hiken because of that fact.
His opponent, like Zabuza, had his/her entire face, with the exception of eyes, covered by bandages. No hair was visible either.
Honestly, the guy/girl could have won an award for most unnoticeable person ever.
"Fire Release: Grand Fireball!"
"Water Release: Water Bowl."
Again, the giant fireball was drowned by the stream of water.
Sasuke whipped out six shuriken and threw them out his asexual enemy.
"Water Release: Water Encampment Wall." said opponent droned as water formed a protective wall around him/her.
However, the shuriken didn't even hit the wall. Instead, the real assault came as soon as the wall came down.
Sasuke dashed to the left, and his opponents body followed, being pulled by the ninja wire he tied to the shuriken. The enemy shinobi, could move, to tangled in the wire.
"Extinguish this! Fire Release: Dragon Fire!" the wires that held the foe suddenly caught fire, killing his enemy.
He then fainted from chakra exhaustion.
XxxzxxX
Zabuza
The four jonin stood back-to-back in the thick mist. They were all sweating from the sheer amount of killing intent in the air. They all stood, shaking and waiting.
"Ugh, I can't take this!" one cried as he shot in a random direction.
He ran and ran, his long brown hair billowing behind him. He saw an opening in the mist, where moonlight shined in a clearing.
"Freedo-ack!"
The man gurgled on his on blood as his futile attempt at escape failed. His hand reached toward the clearing, trying to will it closer to him before he died. He hit the ground with an audible *thud*.
"Damn it! He was are close combat expert." whispered the sole female of the group.
"Such a shame." whispered a voice right behind her. She had enough time panic before Kubikiribocho pierced her heart and left lung.
She was soon followed into the after life by her two comrades.
XxxzxxX
Naruto
Mizumaru, his remaining enemy, was currently pushing him with his berserker like movements. The teen was relentless his revenge driven assault. Thankfully, Naruto observed, his enemy was definitely starting to tire. His attacks were coming slower and less precise. That was, until these weird black lines started appearing on his body. His attacks became even stronger and more spastic.
Naruto was tiring. He mentally cursed himself for what he was about to do. He distanced himself from his crazed foe and pointed his wind sword at him.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Blade, KAI!"
A bright light burned his eyes, and he felt tiny blades of wind cutting his arms. When the light subsided he looked at his opponent. Or, what used to be his opponent. All that was left was a bloody smear in the grass.
The technique he used was something that Danzo had over looked when he had created the Vacuum Blade. The technique was condensing wind chakra in many tiny blades, which condensed into a sort of blade. What he did was like when you shake up a soda then opened it. When the border that held the thousand tiny wind blades was released, they shot forward, literally cutting him on a molecular level.
Evident by the his own mutilated arms, he had yet to perfect the technique.
He had decided that tacking a nap would be okay after a fight like that. Before that, he made a shadow clone to find Haku and Sasuke.
Then he passed out.
XxxzxxX
The fifth Chunin watched as Naruto took down Mizumaru, even with the curse mark active.
'Hmm Orochimaru-sama would definently be interested in this specimen. I will take the boy to him.' the gray haired boy thought, as he adjusted his glasses.
He quickly picked up the knocked out boy, before he disappeared via shunshin.
XxxzxxX
Haku
Haku calmly walked up to the body of Sasuke. She threw the Uchiha onto her shoulder before starting towards where she felt Naruto's chakra from.
She was quickly found by Naruto's clone.
"Sup Haku, the original is over this way." the clone chimed.
They quickly found the clearing, noticeably devoid of Naruto.
"Where is he?" the clone asked itself.
"Oh shit! We can't let the Rebels know that Naruto has been kidnapped. Clone, your gonna have to be Naruto 'till we find him." Sasuke said, knowing the a consequences should they find out that their 'Trump Card' was taken.
"Okay, I'm pretty sure I can last a good three weeks as long as I have plenty to eat and take it easy." replied the clone.
Zabuza suddenly appeared on a branch next to them.
"I heard everything. We are just going to have to trust Naruto. He is a slippery little fuck. If anyone could escape, it would be him." he said with a half hearted chuckle.
"Yeah."
XxxzxxX
Naruto, three days later.
Waking up was never something Naruto looked forward to. It meant he got to leave the sweet bliss of fantasy to go into the unforgiving world. However, this wake up took the cake for shitty wake ups. How?
1. Getting kicked awake always sucks.
2. After getting kicked, you get a blinding strobe light right to the eye, effectively blinding you for a couple of minutes.
3. Once you finally regain your vision, you realize your in a damp prison cell.
He wasn't so sure number 4 really happened, because it just seemed so bizarre. Orochi-fucking-maru walks in and gives you a hickey of doom, causing so much pain that he blacked.
He woke up in said shitty prison cell, shivering because they had taken his awesome hoodie. Needless to say, someone was gonna get his foot up their ass.
However, just as he was about to charge the bars that didn't look too solid, he was dragged into his seal.
XxxzxxX
In seal
Naruto approached the giant doors that held the Kyuubi back. As he did the fox lifted its head and glared at him.
"Hello kit, here to thank me for saving your life?" the fix asked coldly.
"Um, thank you?" he replied.
"Your lucky that if you die, I die. This means that it's in my best interest to keep you alive." Kyuubi snarled.
"Um, I'm sure you didn't drag me into the cell to tell me that you saved my ass, so what's up?" Naruto questioned.
Booming laughter filled the sewer.
"Ah, kit, you crack me up. I brought you here to tell you that who ever captured you doesn't know about me. And that there is a seal of some tainted source thats meant to control you subtly. And let's not forget that sealed 50% of your chakra. I also brought you here to ask what the hell you did to get us stuck in such a position." the kitsune snarled again.
"What can I say, I'm smooth like that." he replied with a smile.
"*Sigh* Kit, you really are something else. Tell you what, if you manage to live through this, I'll owe you one, okay. That is a promise."
"Deal!"
XxxzxxX
1 week later
Naruto again created a small condensed blade of wind chakra forming in between his two hand held together by chains. He quickly went to work cutting the chains. They held little resistance against his blades of wind.
This would probably be the third time he had tried to escape since his chat with the Kyuubi. He had been pretty busy thinking of new ways to do it too. His present attempt got inspiration when Kimimaro told him to 'Cut it out'.
So he would do just that.
After his chains were damaged enough that he could bust then with brute force, he waited for his interrogator. Soon, a girl with red hair and a flute walked in, followed by a spider like dude with six arms.
"Ahh Tayuya-chan, looking as pretty as ever." he spoke jovially. He then shot her a grin.
"Shut the fuck up Uzumaki, I'm not in the mood for your shit!" she screamed.
"But Tayuya-chan, I thought we had something special." he pouted.
"The only relationship we will ever have is you as my fucking stress reliever." she mumbled, bringing her flute to her lips. The spider guy just stood up against one of the walls.
She put the blonde in a genjutsu that showed one the person their deepest fears.
'Kyuubi'
'On it. Yin Release: Flip.'
The scene changed. It showed Naruto looking in a mirror, except instead of seeing his reflection he saw Tayuya. He was in what he guessed to be Tayuya's deepest fear/worst memory. In the genjutsu he was in a rather small room with a bed and a bathroom with the mirror she/he was currently staring at. There was a knock at the door and Tayuya looked at it fearfully.
In walked the spider guy, chuckling darkly.
"You know what time it is, right Tayuya." the lying undertone in his voice almost made Naruto lose it. If that bastard did what Naruto thought he was about to, he wouldn't even no what happened until his head hit the floor.
Then he raped Tayuya.
He heard the Kyuubi roar in rage at the back of his head, and he knew what would happen.
Suddenly his vision cleared, thanks to the Kyuubi. He opened his eyes and couldn't believe what awaited him.
That bastard was trying to rape her in the interrogation room!
His body moved of its own accord, quickly cutting of his head.
Thankfully, Tayuya had only lost her top, so he stopped most of the act.
Naruto bowed to the read head before cutting through the door.
He mentally mocked whom ever had designed the base. The interrogation room was merely twenty feet from the exit. A godsend for any escaping criminals.
Then he remembered who's room was literally right at the end of the hallway.
XxxzxxX
Kimimaro
As the sirens blared, waking up his rather peaceful sleep, he cursed. Wasn't Naruto supposed to be getting interrogated right now?
Contrary to popular belief, Kimimaro didn't follow Orochimaru blindly. He questioned him from time to time, mostly on the amount of fighting and torturing. Not aloud, mind you, but silently.
Naruto was one such case that he questioned. He had been told that all of the prisoners were bad people that harmed others, but didn't all ninja. He had never met someone as at peace than Naruto. The blonde was the first person that made him question his loyalty to Orochimaru.
And that was most definitely a feat.
That's way he hesitated as he went to his door that would either lead him to freedom or confrontation.
XxxzxxX
Naruto
Naruto sprinted from the exit into an open field. He looked behind him to see Kimimaro race up behind him.
Naruto quickly dropped into his taijutsu stance, which was pretty much just standing casually. Only an expert would be able to tell he was about to fight. That was one of the key points of his fighting style.
'Armored-sleeve single hit' was what the style was based of. That and some high level wind manipulation.
"Kimimaro, I don't want to kill you." Naruto growled.
"I'm here to follow, I'm tired of being a lap dog." Kimimaro replied while shrugging.
"Good enough for me, let's go!" Naruto said pointing ahead of himself.
Then, Orochimaru appeared right where he was pointing. Naruto's features noticeably paled.
'Oi fox, think we could get of a surprise attack and live through this?'
'We might, but it's gonna hurt like a bitch for you.'
'Pain is good, pain means I'm not dead.'
'Get ready!'
"Naruto-kun, I'm disappointed in you, when are you going to le-" Orochimaru chided, before pain exploded through his body.
"How was my Sen ha no Mai? I think it was rather... sharp don't you think." Naruto chimed from behind Orochimaru.
For one to fully understand Naruto's atrocious one-liner, they would have to look about five feet behind Naruto to see Orochimaru sporting a good number of cuts all over his body, along with missing his right arm.
"That..." Orochimaru began spitefully, " WAS BRILLIANT! Scurry away Uzumaki, live so that we may fight in the years to come. To think, at your young age and you've already accomplished a level wind manipulation that surpasses mine. Live, so that I may one day study your fascinating wind techniques. KU KU KU KU." Orochimaru cackled insanely.
"Oooookay. Kimimaro, let's go." Naruto replied, visibly shaken by the fact that a technique that he and the Kyuubi collaborated on was so easily shaken off.
To Be Continued
So Kimimaro joins Naruto's group.
And the reason why Orochimaru let them go so quick was because, according to his data book he wants to fight people who have useful wind jutsu. I figured "Hey, Naruto knows wind jutsu."
The Last of the Spartan- "Good, though I think it moves a little too fast."
First off, thanks for the compliment. The reason for the first chapter seeming rushed is because it was. I want to get as far from the canon story as possible. One thing never fails to piss me off is when Naruto is completely different, yet still does all the same stuff as canon. I've read Wave Arc so many times, that I'll mostly skip it in every story. So writing it would be the equivalent of hell for me. That's why it moved fast. Also, I'm not very experienced at writing, do it's gonna be a bit rough. I do plan on polishing it up when I'm completely through.
3cho
I would usually agree, but I'm attempting to have a decent Uchiha. Sasuke will still be a cocky bastard, he just won't be a bloodthirsty cocky bastard.
RyujinMaru
Thanks, it feels good to be complimented. It makes me feel appreciated. :)
