Jutsu Name
Chapter 1: Wave
"I don't trust him." Haku said to Zabuza as they were on the forest. Zabuza was on one knee, Haku behind him and Naruto was laid on a branch against the tree.
"Neither do I. but after this job, we are done with Gato." Zabuza said and Naruto laughed silently.
"You always say the same, Zabuza-chan. I say after we kill the geezer, we kill Gato too." He chuckled to himself and Haku rolled her eyes with a smile, knowing how her masked friend was.
Zabuza scoffed "I already planned on doing that brat. Now hide, they are coming." Haku nodded and Naruto made a mock salute as both jumped to hide in the mist.
"Pst, Haku-chan, how fast you think that Zabuza will kill them?" Naruto asked and Haku turned to his blank mask with a polite smile.
"I rather not bet on people lives." Naruto chuckled to himself.
"Well, suit yourself. But I say that the pink-haired one will die first." Naruto said with a grin and Haku rolled her eyes.
Zabuza quickly captured their sensei and it seemed that it was over when their team, declared that the ones that leave their teammates behind are worse than scum.
Naruto laughed lowly about that claim while Haku scolded him for laughing at someone's ideal.
The one that said that, a boy with a grey hoodie and a white puppy, rushed to him as another one, a pale boy with black hair, a blue shirt and white shorts rushed to Zabuza and his clones.
Naruto was barely containing his laughter as Haku closed her eyes, ready to see these two die...
"Hey Haku, what have these two in common with a rock?" Naruto asked her and she looked at him with a curious look.
"I don't know." She asked and Naruto chuckled.
"Their hard heads!" Naruto laughed as Haku giggled at his horrible joke. But for her, it was funny enough.
"Gatsuga! (Fang Passing Fang)" Their heads snapped to the two Konoha genin and see that now there were three of them, two of them the same and the puppy was missing. The same looking, turned into drills and went towards Zabuza.
"Oh... that looks dangerous." Naruto comented and Haku nodded worried.
"Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu! (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique)" the other one released a fireball from his mouth and the two combined attacks made Zabuza release the jutsu that had the sensei captive.
"Oh-Oh." Naruto said and Haku narrowed her eyes, putting on her mask.
Kakashi, the copy-nin. He had Zabuza number during the entire fight. He is a pretty cool shinobi. Maybe if Zabuza loses, he might have a chance against him. The idea made him laugh.
"Haku-chan, you better go now. Otherwise Zabuza might die." Haku nodded as she threw senbons to Zabuza's neck, putting him in a death-like state.
Naruto chuckled, finding how the konoha team actually believed what Haku told them. Well, he can't blame them. They are just little kids playing ninja after all.
*Hideout*
"You got cocky, Zabuza-chan." Naruto said between laughs as Haku patched him up and Zabuza glared at the blonde that took his mask off.
"I didn't expect for the brats to do that. Naruto, Haku, when we attack again, you two will take care of the brats while I take down Kakashi." Zabuza ordered as the door opened to reveal Gato.
"I can't believe that the Demon of the Mist was defeated like that. It seems I am waiting my money on you right now." Gato growled "Tell me why shouldn't I kill you right now!?"
"Uhm, maybe because you are in no position to make any threats, Gato-chan?" Naruto asked as in a blink he was in front of Gato pointing Nuibui to his throat.
"You brat... How dare you!?" Gato demanded as Naruto laughed.
"Hehehe... why don't you get out of here as fast your small legs can carry you? Otherwise you might become the mouse. HAHAHAHA!" (A/N: Gato in Spanish means cat... so if he gets killed like by him, he would be a mouse... that's the bad joke I made. And it is even worse for me to explain it...)
Gato growled before turning back and leaving. "I had it under control." Zabuza said from the bed, a kunai under the sheets.
"I know, Zabuza-chan. But I couldn't waste the chance to scare the living hell out of him." He chuckled as Haku sighed and stood up.
"I will go out to look for some herbs for Zabuza-sama. Want to join me, Naruto?" She asked with a smile and Naruto grinned, grabbing his mask and putting the Nuibui on his back.
"Sure. But I'll be a shadow. Hey, talking about shadows, what did a shadow say to another shadow?"
"I don't know. What did it say?"
"What's up with the dark look?! HAHAHAHAHA!" Haku giggled at his joke while Zabuza groaned. Why did he and Kushimaru make so many bad jokes?
*Forest*
Naruto was sat on the branch of a tree as he watched Haku talk with one of the Konoha genin, Kiba Inuzuka and his dog, Akamaru.
He was honestly surprised by how innocent dog-boy was, giving Haku their mission, their teammates, and the state his sensei is.
Naruto laughed lowly 'What an idiot...'
For the finishing touches, and Naruto knows that she did it just to amuse him, he told him that she was a boy, making him laugh and the Inuzuka to turn red from embarrassment.
Once he left, Naruto jumped off the tree and landed behind Haku and hugged her. "So, you are a boy now? Hehehe..."
Haku grabbed his hand with a smile "I thought you enjoyed pranks." She said softly and Naruto nodded.
"I do, I do. But maybe... I should check~" Haku gave him a dry look and Naruto chuckled "I was kidding! Relax! You know I would never push you to do something you don't want to do."
A smile formed on Haku's face, as she tilted his mask to a side and gave him a soft peck on the lips "I know." She then placed the mask back in order as Naruto hugged her.
Naruto never saw Haku like a tool. And he always tried to make her feel for what she is. A human being. Not that Zabuza was against that, the problem being Haku herself, being way to stubborn and decided to only serve Zabuza.
How they started dating? They have no idea. Well, they say that opposites attract, so maybe that was it.
Naruto, insane, sadistic, bloodthirsty and kind of kinky Naruto.
Haku, pacific, calmed, beautiful and pure Haku.
Somehow, they love each other.
"Zabuza wants us to attack tomorrow." Naruto said and Haku nodded.
"It is too soon. He won't be healed completely."
"Yeah, but this time we will fight too, Haku-chan." Naruto laughed lowly as he hugged Haku "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Haku hugged him back "Then I'll trust you."
*Bridge, Day of the Attack*
Mist was surrounding everybody, as Zabuza and Naruto killed the workers on the bridge. Naruto laughed as he stood next to Zabuza and Haku next to the man.
Soon, the bridge builder and the Konoha genin arrived. Kakashi told dog-boy and the one called Sasuke to go fight him and Haku, the pink haired kunoichi protected the bridge builder and Kakashi went after Zabuza.
"Haku?" Dog-boy asked "What are you doing here?"
"I am sorry Kiba, but I serve Zabuza-sama. I will give you and your friend one chance to leave and survive." Haku said behind her mask and emo-boy scoffed.
"Hn. I don't need mercy from people below me."
Naruto laughed as he held Nuibui "Hehehe... Below you? No, no, no... the only thing that will be below you will be blood." Naruto closed his hand into a fist as ninja wire tensed and Kiba and Sasuke barely dodged the trap. But still, they were slightly cut.
"Hn. Is that all?" Naruto chuckled at his question. In a blink, he was in front of Sasuke, ready to stab him. Sasuke took out a kunai and pushed the Nuibui away just to receive a punch from Naruto.
Meanwhile, Kiba atacked Haku that simply dodged everything. "I don't want to fight you, Kiba."
"Then don't! Leave Zabuza and this pshyco and join us!" Kiba pleaded and Haku shook her head.
"I am afraid I can't do that."
"Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu! (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique)" Sasuke released a fireball towards Naruto that chuckled as he disappeared and reappeared behind him, kicking him towards the edge of the bridge.
"Is that all you have? I am disappointed..." Naruto said as he held Nuibui and Sasuke glared at him. "Haku-Chan! Do you mind finish this quickly!? This guy is boring!"
"Why you..." Sasuke started but suddenly, he was trapped in a dome of ice-mirrors.
Naruto chuckled "Thanks Haku-chan!" He then turned to Kiba that had senbons sticking from his arm. "So... dog-boy, are you more fun than emo-boy here?"
Kiba grinned "I don't know who you are... but I just know you are manipulating Haku!" Kiba growled and Naruto laughed out-loud.
"Manipulate her!? HAHAHAHAHA! You really are an idiot! She is doing this because she feels like it! And soon, you and your friends, your sensei and the old geezer, will all die! HAHAHAHA!"
"Choto Ninpo: Haetorigusa! (Longsword Ninja Art: Venus Fly Trap)" In a blink, Naruto surrounded Kiba with ninja wire, and with a pull of the wire, Kiba was trapped between all the wires as he was having trouble to breathe.
Naruto laughed as he slowly walked to the trapped Kiba "Hehehe... any last words, dog-boy?"
Kiba growled at him before his eyes widened and a crashing sound was heard. Nruto turned to look and saw the dome of ice mirrors explode by a ball of fire and see Haku trying to stand up as Sasuke walked to her.
He let go of the wire and Kiba fell to one knee. Naruto got at Haku's side and pointed the Nuibui at Sasuke, his sharingan glaring at him.
"Nice eyes, emo-boy." Naruto said and Sasuke smirked.
"You can't beat me now. With these eyes, I am unbeatable."
Naruto was going to say one of his jokes when Haku removed his mask. "Naruto... it's over..." Naruto looked at her "I failed Zabuza-sama and I failed you..."
Naruto chuckled "You would never fail me, Haku-chan. Now, stay here while I kill Bloody-Eyes..."
The sound of lighting was heard and Naruto looked to see Zabuza unable to move by some dog-nin as Kakashi had a ball of lighting on his hand.
Naruto knew what Haku would do. She would sacrifice herself for Zabuza. She and Zabuza would die if that happens. He won't allow it. He won't allow their deaths. At least he will save her.
Naruto got in the middle of the attack as Haku's and Zabuza's eyes widened.
Naruto laughed as he coughed blood. "Do something Zabuza..."
Zabuza gripped on his sword as he tried to cut Kakashi and Naruto at the same time, but Kakashi pulled back in time making Naruto fall on the floor as his mask fell off.
"Naruto!" Haku screamed as she rushed to his side. Naruto was coughing blood as he laughed. Haku got at his side as she started to put pressure on the wound. "Don't worry! You'll be fine!" She said trying to reassure him as he laughed.
"It is funny... Kushimaru died to save me... and I died to save Zabuza... Hehehehe... at least... you will survive..." He laughed as he coughed more blood and his eyes started to close.
"Naruto? Don't close your eyes... Naruto? Naruto!"
Kakashi was staring at the boy. A boy fitting the description of the missing son of his sensei.
"Naruto?" Kakashi asked and Haku glared at him.
"Don't you dare... don't you dare to say his name!" She said as tears escaped her eyes.
"Heh, at least the brat is dead already. I barely stand him." They turned to see Gato and his army of mercenaries.
Zabuza growled. How dare this asshole mock Kushimaru's legacy!? He grabbed his sword as Kakashi stood next to him. Zabuza glared at him "Get lost."
Kakashi didn't answer. He just took out a kunai and got into a stance.
As the battle or massacre started, Haku was caressing Naruto's face. He stopped moving and had a smile on his face. "Why?"
She asked him as tears fell on his face. Kiba got next to her and she ignored him. "Haku..."
Haku hugged Naruto tighter as she sobbed now "Please... tell me a joke... please..."
Kiba had a sad look on his face. So, this was loss in the ninja world. He raised a brow when he saw the blonde kid wound starting to close with a red chakra.
"What did... one eye said... to another eye?" Haku eyes widened as she looked at his grinning face.
"Naruto?"
"Between you and me... something smells... Hehehehe..." Naruto said as Haku hugged him and he hugged her back.
"You are alive!"
"Of course I am... I can't die yet."
*Tazuna's Home, Later*
"Good to see you alive brat." Zabuza said as Naruto grinned. He was shirtless as Haku was bandaging his abdomen.
"What can I say, Zabuza-chan. I am a toughie." He chuckled as Haku finished tapping his abdomen.
"Don't do that again." Haku said simply as she placed her hands on his shoulders.
Naruto grinned "Fineeeeeeee, Haku-chan."
"Oh, you are good?" Kakashi said as he entered the room. Haku and Zabuza glared at him and Naruto scoffed.
"Hey Scarecrow-chan! Feeling less violent?"
"I do Naruto." Kakashi said putting his book away. "Hey, can you answer me something?"
Naruto grinned "I can try."
"Good." Kakashi said "Do you know who your parents are?"
Zabuza narrowed his eyes at the copy-nin "Why you care?"
"Just need to know something." Kakashi said "So, you know?"
Naruto shook his head "Nop. They left me on a boat and then Kushimaru found me."
Kakashi nodded "Well, would you like to meet them? At konoha?"
Naruto's eyes widened. Haku and Zabuza looked at him as Naruto started to laugh.
"Hehehehe..." He looked at Kakashi and his serious face and he stopped laughing. "Oh. You are serious."
Kakashi nodded. "I am. They miss you Naruto."
"And they are sorry."
