Chapter 2
And Just so I don't forget...at the time of reposting this story, TL4S had 40210 words, 25 chapters and an author's note, 144003 hits, 59 C2s, 296 reviews, 163 favs and 285 alerts.
I also copied and pasted the six pages of the most recent reviews for TL4S to mine for inspiration...xd, and to remind me I had people who liked this story before!
I'm depressed cuz people hate my Providence story which reeks of the INSPIRATION OF YOUTH! Maybe I just answered my own 'question'...stupid youth...
Also, I actually forgot a part when I posted this story the first time. It'll be good...violence for everyone.
I also get to correct spelling errors, mainly Kohona and Sauske. Fun fun fun.
Follow the Reaper : umm... its WATER COUNTRY, NOT MIST COUNTRY... and also water country is an island... check wikipedia search: naruto geography...
Sure, why not, it sounds like you know whats going on. I was always confused about that. Theres the wave country...the water country...the Mist-nins... Apparently the map I was referencing colored the 'neutral' territory...pale blue or something, and colored the Water country the same color. Meh whatever. In anycase, this is fan fiction so I wouldn't get too stressed. Well, I guess its back to editing. (Problem fixed, thx)
Scienceboy : You can? Oh, well then...I had no idea. I'm rewriting this because it make ME wince when I read it. Grammar and spelling are semi-important to me, and I can't stand to read things with out them. In any case, its good to see you
Deadulus : Heh, I wrote these chapters a year ago, I'm just doing some spit and polish under a new name. And like Scienceboy asked, I never realized you could change your pen-name. The humor might seem rushed...but I have no idea what you're talking about. Is it not thought out well? Because if so, this would have been more helpful a year ago . Well I'll see what I can do, and if you could do me a favor, can you describe the problem a bit better?
'Kay!

Somewhere over the rainbowwwwww...
Okay, so its actually in some random forest, sue me.
Haku looked down with wide eyes and stuttered, (You would too if your a three year old and babies started falling from the sky...) "z-z-Z-ZABUZAAAAAA!"
Two miles away, Zabuza looked up from his training before sighing, 'Damn, Haku probably lost his rabbit again...'
Sheathing his sword that he had used to cut a swath through the forest while fending off imaginary missing-nins, he was about to head toward the source of the ear shattering shout before he thought of something. Making a Mizu Bunshin, Zabuza set it to picking up the quality firewood he had quite accidently produced.
When he finally found Haku's location, he saw the girl hiding behind a tree and peeking at a bundle on the ground. Zabuza looked down at the bundle snorted. "Jeez, its only a newborn baby."
Raising his voice he shouted, "HAKU! Get over here! Look at you, you scaredy cat! Pissing yourself over this baby..."
Looking at her more sharply he wondered, "Where'd this idiot come from anyway?"
Haku mutely pointed upwards.
Zabuza rolled his eyes, 'Figures...'
Inspecting the baby more closely Zabuza muttered 'Uzumaki Naruto, I guess thats the gaki's name or something...'
'Well I can't let this little guy die here and I'm sure that he'll be of use. Might as well take him with us'
Turning back to Haku, he barked, "Okay Haku," he called out, "Get the kid and bring it back to the base. Afterwards, run five laps around the perimeters of the house before reporting in for target practice"
Haku nodded affirmative, "Yes sir!"

The barracks that the Seven Swordsmen used as their base was comfortable, if not outright luxurious. The room had dark wooden trimming, a miniature fountain, thick furry carpets, marble statues, paintings of the ocean, plush chairs, an extremely expensive electric fireplace, and most important of all...a sword rack.
Zabuza walked in, deftly mounting his sword onto the wall, on his part of the rack. Behind him was Haku carrying the baby boy christened Naruto. Zabuza saw Kisame was sitting watching the fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate. Smirking, he prodded, "Hey shark boy, hows your day? Kill any more fish?"
Kisame looked horrified taking on a high pitched voice, "Shut your trap you horrible bandage-face! For your information, I killed another dozen of the Kayuga clan!
Suddenly coughing, he finished his sentence with a spluttering, "Um, well wha'd you do?"
Zabuza shrugged, as if today was just like any other day. "My apprentice found a kid who fell from the sky. And I collected firewood."
Looking out the window, Kisame suddenly noticed a mountain of logs slightly taller then the building itself. 'Eh? How'd that get there?'
Turning back, Kisame turned his attention to the boy before remember what Zabuza had just said.
He sweatdropped, "Ah, of course, because babies fall out of the sky every day and this is completely normal!"
Zabuza knew what Kisame meant. It was something more like this : "Zabuza...what the fucks going on here?"
"You want him? He's a kid, I'm sure you can raise him okay."
Kisame snorted. "Bah, I'm a lone wolf, rescuer of damsels, defender of fish, gambler of moderately good luck..."
Zabuza stared at him. Kisame winced.
Zabuza kept staring. Finally Kisame muttered, "You know that creepy staring scares me."
Zabuza grinned wryly, "Well of course I know."
Twitching Kisame, broke eye contact before saying resignedly, "Fine, I'll take a look at him."
Zabuza passed the bundle to him, and he was faced with a little bald kid who started poking him.
Kisame smirked as he read the tag. "Huh, name's Naruto eh?"
Examining the baby's arms and legs, Kisame grinned a toothy grin. "Meh. I guess I do need an apprentice to continue bothering you once I'm dead and gone..."
'At least he doesn't look gay like Ranmaru (or Haku would if he wasn't a girl in my fic, I think its a trademark...)'
As Kisame continued to examine the boy, the baby cooed something that almost sounded like : "Fishy-san!"
Kisame twitched.

6 Years Later
"KISAME-SENSAI, I DID IT!" Naruto shouted.
"NANI?! It took you ONLY AN HOUR?!" Kisame shouted back, shocked. Even if experience dictated that the boy could perform miracles, it was still a jolt to actually have him work his magic.
"Umm...yea...is that good?" Naruto said shakily.
"Ye- I mean...um...no...not at all...you suck...SHOW ME!"
Jumping back, Naruto took a breath, before mentally counting to five and yelled out "Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu!"
A medium sized dragon rose out of the near by pond and started floating around in the air, and Kisame had eyes the size and shape of saucers and was looking rather speechless.
Zabuza was passing by with Haku in tow on their way to stick poor marionettes full of needles and other sharp objects.
Zabuza looked at Kisame and said in an impressed voice, "Looks like he was a good find huh?"
Kisame waved him off, "Bah! It was FATE that brought us together!"
Zabuza snorted back, "Hell, you wouldn't have met the idiot if I hadn't found him!"
He was rewarded with a smack to the head as Haku threw her two cents in, "Hmph, more like if I hadn't found him."
Naruto twitched as the three fought over who took credit for finding him. It was like they were arguing who got to use the bathroom first again or something.
Coughing loudly, the got the trios attention before glaring at the three.
The argument blazing so brilliantly before instantly faltered.
Giving the others a wary glance, Haku started pacing while fiddling with a senbon in between her fingers.
"So was he a good find or what?"
Taking care Naruto didn't hear him, Kisame whispered back, "Kinda, he has no chakra control what so ever so he ends up putting way to much chakra into everything. This why he can do Mizubushin but not Bushin and why he can do Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu but not henge, its odd. In fact, its abnormal."
Zabuza shrugged, "Tis horrible, yeah. Able to do useful jutsus and not the crappy ones. Just horrible."
As the two men talked, Haku looked at Naruto, and winked at him, causing Naruto the blush and 'accidentally' send the dragon after Kisame.
The next 10 minutes was spent watching Naruto parry, dodge, and run the hell away from a 'the-opposite-of-happy' Kisame. The pair (Zabuza and Haku) couldn't suppress a laugh at the sight of the evil shark man chase a six year old around the campus.
The chase ended with Naruto being hit with the hilt of the Samehade and falling face first into the pond that his water dragon had spawned out of.
"Dammit, I'll out run you one day."
Zabuza snorted and beckoned to Haku, "Come on Haku lets go."
"Okay Zabuza-Sensai," said Haku as she waved to Naruto, causing him to blush again.
Kisame leered at Naruto, Ooo so my little Naru-Chan has got a GIRLFRIEND, looks like he's all grownup."
Naruto looked at him confused, "Girlfriend? Whats that?"
Kisame looked back, dumbfounded. "You don't k-...bah what ever. Fine then, to punish your idiocy, I'm going to double you weights to forty pounds and run twenty-five laps around this complex and you will then do fifty push ups, twenty-five pull ups, and seventy-five curl ups."
"I'm not an idiot...wait a second...NANI!?"
"Yep" Kisame laughed.

Chuckling, Kisame muttered, "Yep, Zabuza was right, torture IS fun..."
