(Chapter 3: In Waves Part 1)

Naruto never thought that he'd have the chance to obliterate his twin siblings so soon into his career as a bounty hunter and mercenary as the thought of this happening so soon never occurred to him since he'd spent these past 4 years amassing wealth and gaining as much power as possible. But now that this was going to happen he was going to take great pleasure in obliterating those two since he wanted them to know that for all their efforts in having been trained for that stupid prophecy it was all for nothing.

As Naruto wasn't going to kill them and not out of some misguided remnants of love he had for them not at all as it was the fact that he wanted them to grow in strength so that when they were at their peak he'd then kill them and send them crashing down back to earth as they died.


(May 10th 996 S.E, Wave Country, 11:25 Am)

Team 7 was soon sent sprawling across the clearing as the Shinra Tensei imploded and shredded the ground as luckily Hiruzen made a shadow clone to protect Tazuna from Naruto and Zabuza as well as get him to safety while the two were in their own melee.

"Now then show me what the two of you are capable of." Naruto spoke as he cracked his neck glaring at his twin siblings

"Naruto please don't force us to fight you." Akame pleaded as Naruto barked out a laugh

"That's cute you act like I'm giving you a choice." Naruto spoke as he brought his knife out as well as a chakra rod that he hefted the chakra rod up like a spear

"Akame look at him just words aren't going to cut it as look at him you can tell by that look on his face that he isn't going to go without fighting." Hiruzen told her taking note of the predatory look on Naruto's face

"But Hiruzen he's our brother we have to at least try and get him to see reason." Akame spoke having to dodge a chakra rod from impaling her

"Akame we have to fight him it's the only way." Hiruzen spoke as Akame unsealed a katana

"Alright Hiruzen as much as I don't want to let's do it so that we…..." Akame spoke before she got roundhouse kicked a few feet away with some of her teeth knocked out

"Are you guys gonna fight now because this is just getting boring?" Naruto asked as he caught a punch from Hiruzen

"Finally something." Naruto spoke as he threw Hiruzen aside as he landed on his feet

Soon enough Akama got back up and tried to pierce Naruto with her katana only for him to knock her into a tree with Shinra Tensei as Hiruzen tried to engage him in hand to hand but had shut down any thought of that with punch to his throat to briefly cut off his air supply before launching 4 quick stabs to the stomach with his knife. As Hiruzen was soon uppercutted and sent sprawling to the ground as before he could get up Naruto had soon grabbed him by the back of the head and sent him headfirst through a tree as he soon blasted him through two others as his mouth was filling up with blood as well as his broken nose.

"Wow I was expecting a fight but oddly enough I'm disappointed as I thought that the supposed Children of the Prophecy would put up a better fight than this." Naruto taunted as Akame came rushing him front flipping into Naruto with a slash directed at his neck

"They're making this too easy for me." Naruto thought using a Shinra Tensei to blast Akame into Hiruzen who was getting back up

"Water Release: Water Trumpet!" Akame cried out putting her hands together like she was playing a trumpet and shot out a pressurized stream of water

"Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder!" Hiruzen exclaimed firing out a wave of electricity that electrified the water stream with bolts of lightning arcing off it

"Man they're seriously making it too easy for me." Naruto spoke as he activated his Preta Path and absorbed their combined elemental attack

"No way he absorbed it." Hiruzen spoke in shared shock with Akame

"Thanks for the pick me up as now then let me show you what a real attack looks like…...Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere." Naruto then proceeded to deeply inhale as he launched out a sphere of vacuumized air the size of a broom closet out at the twin jinchuuriki

Hiruzen and Akame soon dove out of the way to take cover although due to Naruto having amped it up with the chakra he absorbed from their combined attack they were blasted by the concussive force of the wind jutsu that made their bodies vibrate with concussive force and the initial shockwave. However, Naruto soon caught them by their faces and smashed them into each other so hard that he caused the skin to split as their vision caused them to briefly see double before chucking Hiruzen like a ragdoll and stabbing Akame in the chest multiple times before uppercutting her several feet in the air.

"Man you two aren't worth the hype I thought you guys would be as that blonde bastard and red haired tramp disowned me for you two pathetic whelps this is just laughable since y'all have been trained for years and I'm just manhandling the two of you." Naruto chuckled finding it funny that his younger twins were trained for years by some of Konoha's finest and yet he's ragdolling them

"We can still beat you though as I still haven't even used everything I've been taught so don't even think of counting me out." Hiruzen spoke as he once again got into the Toad Kumite stance

"Well then show me what you got, but just so you know I'll still break you regardless." Naruto told Hiruzen who rushed after him with a right hook to the face as Hiruzen began throwing punches left and right after Naruto who blocked them one handedly

"Is this all you've got as I've thought elderly people who punched harder and better than you." Naruto yawned as he continued to one handedly block Hiruzen's punches

"Damn it quit messing around and take me seriously!" Hiruzen shouted as during this whole time Naruto had been merely toying with them

"You sure about that because it doesn't end well for people who ask that of me?" Naruto asked as Hiruzen continued to throw everything into his assault

"Does it look like I'm joking take me seriously, as I won't be underestimated by you!" Hiruzen exclaimed as he launched a left cross at Naruto's face that Naruto caught

"Just so you know you asked for it." Naruto spoke as he soon shoved Hiruzen before following up with a harsh butterfly kick that sent him through a quartet of trees and evident by his prone and twitching position nearly broke his neck

"Yeah I warned him." Naruto thought watching the twitching Hiruzen as blood leaked out of his ears and mouth

"HIRUZEN!" Akame shouted looking at her brother's prone and twitching state

"Just so you know girl with period colored hair I warned him of what would happen if he wanted me to stop fucking around and well that happened." Naruto called out to Akame who felt overwhelming rage take over her

"You'll pay for that." Akame snarled as crimson chakra began to form over her

"Oh I'm soooo scared of the big bad demon girl as what are you gonna do ya gonna cry? As does the Hokage's daughter need a tissue for her issue or maybe she needs someone to put her diaper on since our wittle demon is having a temper tantrum." Naruto teased in a mocking and condescending voice like a babysitter would use when demeaning a misbehaving kid

"Man I love pissing people off." Naruto thought as he saw a two tailed cloak of fox shaped carmine colored chakra envelop Akame with her nails turning into 3 inch long claws, her eyes turning the color of rubies with vulpine slits of hate as she gained whisker marks in sets of 3 on her cheeks and razor sharp fangs

"You'll pay for what you did to my brother and then I'll drag you back to the village kicking and screaming." Akame snarled as she felt pure rage on her mind

"What are you waiting for bring it on bitch." Naruto spoke having done a come hither motion

With that Akame roared like a savage beast before running after Naruto into what looked like a bright red blur as Naruto let her get in point blank range before blasting her upwards with a Shinra Tensei. He then sent her reeling back towards the earth with a Bansho Tenin and then switching to his Asura Path unleashed a salvo of missiles at her before she could even rise up from the ground as she was bombarded with a cascade of small explosions.

Akame got up swaying slightly as her chakra cloak had taken the brunt of the missile barrage although her clothes had moderately sized tears in them and had a few first degree burns however that didn't stop Naruto from rushing in with a powerful haymaker that dislocated her jaw before promptly relocating it with a reverse roundhouse kick that sent her skidding like a stone. Naruto was soon upon her kicking her a few meters into the air before slamming her hard into the unforgiving ground with a Bansho Tenin that cratered the ground beneath her and caused her to hack up blood as two of her ribs were broken.

"Come on I thought that you were going to take me back to that God forsaken village kicking and screaming, yet how can you even do that when I'm just manhandling the shit out of you." Naruto spoke as even with her having two tails he was still crushing her like a common gnat

"I will bring you back Naruto no matter what and I'll still make you pay for what you did to Hiruzen." Akame snarled as she ran at Naruto with her katana to which he blocked with minor effort

"Really then I mean how can you even do that when you can't even fight me without relying on that demon in your gut as an extra power up, as it just goes to show how utterly weak you are." Naruto responded with his trademark lazy smile on his face as he pressed the flat of his blade harder on Akame who despite her empowered strength found herself being pushed back and struggling against her brother's monstrous strength

"I'm not weak I'm one of the Children of the Prophecy and trained by Tsunade Senju and my mother and I will not lose to you at all, as one day I'm going to be the strongest female shinobi that ever lived." Akame spoke gritting her teeth as she was further pushed back by Naruto

"Spare me that nonsense as you're always going to be weak no matter what you do or say because you've always relied on everyone else to get you through everything since you were born. As you've never had to struggle for anything in this world always having everything catered to you like a spoiled little princess." Naruto spoke overpowering Akame and quickly stabbing her hilt deep in the upper abdomen and slashing the blade out of her flesh before punching hard enough to break her sternum

"So then tell me princess is this all you've got or are you simply too weak to even defeat you're supposedly dead brother?" Naruto questioned as he saw her conjure up a Rasengan

"Take this RASENGAN!" Akame cried out as she lashed out with an Oodama Rasengan twice as large as it usually was due to the Bijuu chakra pumping through it

However, too Akame's shock Naruto merely held out his hand and soon enough Naruto had absorbed the amped up Rasengan in it's entirety leaving a shocked Akame that her father's prized attack had been nullified.

"Now then time to show you what real strength is." Naruto spoke as he reared his fist back

Then using a great deal of strength punched Akame so hard in the stomach that she felt as though her internal organs might rupture as a shockwave erupted that nearly cratered the ground beneath them as the pain was so great that her chakra cloak dispersed as she was shaking from the sheer pain as she gradually fell unconscious as blood leaked out of her mouth.

"Huh man these two are disappointments." Naruto thought looking over the unconscious and mortally wounded bodies of his younger siblings

"Now then time to go see what's happening with Zabuza." Naruto spoke as he casually strolled towards Zabuza's fight with chakra rods in both hands

He soon saw Kakashi and Zabuza engaged in a virtual stalemate with Sasuke having tears in his attire and a large slash across his chest as sweat covered his form as he looked to be suffering from chakra exhaustion as he saw Zabuza and Kakashi going through the hand-signs for the Water Dragon jutsu. Naruto deciding to take advantage of this suppressed his chakra to where Kakashi would mistake it for one of the twins before strolling towards him with a grin on his face as he soon got within enough distance that as Kakashi was about to launch his jutsu he soon instead felt pain rip through his chest.

"What's the matter Hatake you've never been on the receiving end as I bet it feels so good you can even get out a word." Naruto spoke as his chakra rods grazed and nearly cut into Kakashi's lungs

"He's all yours Zabuza let him fucking have it." Naruto told Zabuza who nodded

"You got it, Water Release: Water Dragon Jutsu." Zabuza intoned as Naruto threw Kakashi in front of it as it ploughed into the ground as he was breathing haggardly

"So then where the hell is that bridge builder anyways?" Zabuza questioned as to where Tazuna was at the moment

"He's gone more than likely one of the twin jinchuuriki made a shadow clone while we were fighting and took off with him." Naruto surmised since that's the most probable outcome

"So what do we do now?" Zabuza asked as Naruto went over towards Sasuke and knocked him out with a punch to the head

"Simple we let them recover and then soon enough once they're back in action they're going to have to be on guard detail when Tazuna is building that bridge of his. Once that happens you, your progeny Haku and I annihilate them all in one fell swoop without them even seeing it coming as it's so risky that it just may no it will work." Naruto informed Zabuza of his plan as he had a large chameleon summon gather up and go towards where Hiruzen's shadow clone went by following it's scent

"I swear you're a suicidal bastard Naruto." Zabuza spoke thinking the plan was so much of high risk that it was damn near a suicide mission

"Hey when you've got the Devil's luck you excel in making the suicidal possible." Naruto spoke as he and Zabuza departed to stage their next plan of attack


(2 days later, May 12th 996 S.E, 2:10 Pm, Tazuna's House)

It was two days later for Team 7 with them having to recover and more or less awaken from their injuries as Akame had to play medic healing Kakashi's injuries as best she could as well as that of her brother's neck that had multiple fractures and a slipped vertebrae that took hours of non stop concentration to heal with the rest up to the Nine Tails and his Uzumaki blood to finish. Yet what held an undeniable weight of tension in the room was the fact that Naruto wasn't dead as he'd led the entirety of Konoha to believe for 4 years straight and now a very much powerful adversary who'd thrashed the twin children of Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze even with Akame going into her 2 tailed state.

"Alright I'll just come out and say it that against Naruto and Zabuza we don't stand a prayer against them." Sasuke spoke breaking the tension to say that logically they couldn't stand a chance against them

"That's not true Sasuke we had a chance against him." Akame spoke knowing they had some chance against their elder brother as Sasuke scoffed at him

"Well then if you call him nearly breaking your brother's' neck and the fact that when used your chakra cloak you still couldn't touch him; then yes you guys have a good chance of dying." Sasuke responded snarkily as he managed to see over the course of his fight with Zabuza how Naruto broke Hiruzen's neck and punched the hell out of Akame into unconsciousness

"We can still take him, as I know that Hiruzen and I can beat him and get him back home if we tried harder than we could win I know it." Akame spoke believing and hoping that she and her brother could if they couldn't reason with Naruto beat him and take him back to the village

"Do you not hear the words you're saying as this isn't some fairy tale or manga where you can Deus ex Machina all your problems by the power of love, family and friendship no at all Akame. As we're 3 rookie genin who despite being trained very well are up against two high ranking A-rank threats one that was former member of the 7 swordsmen of the Mist and the other from my reading his Bingo Book entry specifically counters and kills shinobi." Sasuke scolded her for her foolish ideals as he slammed the entry with most recent picture of Naruto that looked about 3 months old

"This is what your brother is an A-ranked nearly S-ranked threat in the Bingo Book stating that he has an flee on sight order and that nothing above elite jounin are to take him on and is known for specifically targeting and killing shinobi. Yet you and your brother have a deathwish of trying to fight and even try to get him back to Konoha are you either insane or do you just live in your own little fairytale world where the princess and prince of Konoha always get their happy ending well spoiler alert life doesn't work that way." Sasuke spoke as it currently stands with the combined might of Zabuza and Naruto a known shinobi hunter they were by definition fucked

"So what do you want for us to do just to give up on our brother?" Akame asked Sasuke refusing to give up on him

"That's exactly what I'm suggesting since you both have zero chance of winning however, why don't we let Hiruzen weigh in on the subject since he's been silent this whole time, so I'm sure he'd weigh in on this." Sasuke spoke as the attention turned towards the male jinchuuriki of the Nine Tails

"As much as I hate saying this and I do Sasuke is right we've got zero chance of beating Naruto and even getting him back to Konoha at the way we are as we're outmatched by a longshot which is why we should avoid him at all costs." Hiruzen spoke since Sasuke did have a point and despite the fact that it'd be nice to have his brother back in Konoha with him and restart a family logically it'd be suicide considering that fighting him got his neck nearly snapped

"Hiruzen we've got a chance to have our family back together don't you want that? As we finally find out that our brother is alive after all these years and then just because things got hard for us you want to abandon him is that what you want to just leave family behind?" Akame raved passionately in refusal to abandon her brother

"Akame he came at us with the intent to straight out murder us he fully knows that we're his siblings at yet that didn't stop him from the one time he got serious with me from kicking me and nearly snapping my neck in half and even then I could feel he was holding back by a considerable margin. Which is why even though I want for us to have a fully repaired family I have to think about my life which comes first because Sasuke is right despite us having been trained by Mom, Dad, Granny Tsunade and Pervy Sage were hopelessly and dare I say hilariously defeated." Hiruzen ranted as he cared about family as much as Akame did but he knew that you had to put logic before what you desired sometimes

"Hiruzen you're just saying we give up on Naruto after everything that's happened especially since we now have a chance to get him as I just can't stand by and let this happen." Akame argued feverently refusing to give up on Naruto

"Obviously this is getting nowhere, but the bottom line is that we avoid Naruto at all costs considering that as it stands if we even go against him there is a good chance that we'll die and therefore have to treat Naruto as the enemy. Which means we need backup what do you say on this Kakashi-sensei?" Sasuke spoke knowing that Naruto for all intents and purposes had to be treated as a hostile threat

"I agree as I'll send for backup immediately and Sasuke is right Akame you and Hiruzen despite having made great strides in your training are nowhere near close enough to be able to beat Naruto therefore the two of you aren't to engage him." Kakashi spoke as his chest was still sore from having been impaled as he rubbed his sore chest

"But Kakashi-sensei please we can handle this we've been trained to handle enemy threats since we were kids." Akame pleaded yet Kakashi sighed

"This isn't an order at all Akame as your commanding officer you're being given an order that under no circumstances that neither you nor Hiruzen are to engage Naruto no matter what do I make myself clear." Kakashi stated putting steel into his voice to make his point clear

"But Kakashi-sensei…." Akame tried to argue however, with some effort from still being chakra exhausted and his wounds from Naruto stood to full height

"I said that's an order Genin Uzumaki as disobey me and engage the enemy and you will be written up for insubordination as I know you're feeling on the matter however, I will not have them compromise the mission at hand. So you will take your brother upstairs and continue to heal him as you two will be on guard duty in the morning so go to your rooms right now am I understood Genin as this is a yes or no question?" Kakashi ordered out of Akame using the tone and voice of when he was still an ANBU captain instead of the older brother figure he normally portrayed himself as since Akame needed to learn that the mission came first since her feelings were looking to jeopardize it

"As you wish Kakashi-sensei." Akame spoke as she and Hiruzen walked towards their rooms as Kakashi let out a sigh

"Kakashi-sensei you do realize that even with back-up our chances of defeating Naruto are barely decent at best and abysmal at worst not to mention the fact that he faked his death means that he won't even want to come back to the village. Which is why I have to ask should we even bother because we could risk the mission failing if we're to do this so why bother trying to get Naruto back into the village since doing so seems to be a major liability" Sasuke questioned since he didn't see any reason to bring Naruto back into the village

As Naruto had made his career as a shinobi hunter and due to his hate for the twins and his being known as an high A-ranked threat compounded by the fact that he went as far as to stage a suicide to get out of the village made it very clear that he didn't want any part of being back in Konoha.

"I know it too as Zabuza and him combined are a major threat as we don't even know if they have any other allies with them which makes this mission more of a A-ranked than anything which your assessment is true as I maybe strong but against them not even I can have a good chance to win." Kakashi spoke since the main difficulty would be Naruto since the Bingo Book didn't mention all of what he was capable of ability wise to make making him more of a threat since they couldn't gauge what he could do

"Yet to answer your question the reason why is that because my sensei and Lady Kushina deserve to know this however, we do this after the mission because they deserve to know that their son is still alive. And hopefully gain a second chance to bring their family back together, as I'm not saying they'll be all hunky dory however, I'm willing to believe they can patch things up between themselves and Naruto if given the chance." Kakashi spoke hoping for the best scenario of when he told Minato and Kushina that Naruto was still alive

"I don't know about this Kakashi-sensei as the moment I looked at Naruto I could tell he didn't have a single shred of remorse or care for Hiruzen and Akame as all I saw on his face and behind those goggles of his were one thing." Sasuke spoke still remembering the brief moments he looked Naruto in the face

"That was a predator just waiting for a chance to tear something apart and they were his prey, so I'm glad that you gave that order to Akame and Hiruzen telling them to not engage Naruto because if you had he would more than likely do everything he could to either kill them or end their lives as shinobi. Because what we're dealing with is a man that as far as we know has nothing to really lose in doing this job but everything to gain by it which is why once we complete the mission and for everyone's safety and livelihood we get as far away from him as possible if us and our backup want to live." Sasuke continued knowing that if they wanted to survive that once the mission was done they get the hell away from Naruto because to the young Uchiha if they wanted to live then being away from Naruto at a good safe distance was the only option to survive


(Wave Country, 4 days later, May 14th 996 S.E, 10:14 Am)

It was 14 minutes after 10 as Haku had finished talking a bit with one of the Jinchuriki twins and had found the reaction to having told them that she was a boy to be quite hilarious, as they always fell for it. As she was now on her way with herbs to help heal Zabuza due to him having challenged Naruto for a rematch and subsequently lost and was now was injured but she did thank the redheaded blonde for giving her scrolls on medical ninjutsu since it helped her greatly for making sure her master was healed at all times.

"You can come out already Naruto I know you're hiding." Haku spoke sensing Naruto by his large and unusually dense chakra

"How'd you know it was me?" Naruto asked as he was now hanging upside down from a tree branch

"Because you have the largest chakra reserves of anyone here, so it's not really that hard to tell where you are." Haku responded as Naruto dropped down from his place on high

"Fair enough and how's it coming with the scrolls I gave you on medical ninjutsu and the Rasengan?" Naruto asked wondering how Haku was progressing with what Naruto gave her to practice

"It's going rather well as the Healing Jutsu and the Chakra Scalpels came naturally to me and soon enough I'll have both ready to be used in combat by the time we're ready to go after the bridge builder." Haku spoke finding herself taking a natural aptitude towards medical ninjutsu

"Good as in the case you find yourself up against those twin jinchuriki I want you to use the skills I circled for you because unlike me you don't have a monstrous amount of physical strength at your disposal to take them out which is why that will make sure they stay down." Naruto spoke as Haku didn't have Naruto's unusually high amount of physical strength therefore he wanted her to have something to counter them in case they decided to break out the Nine Tails chakra

"But won't these kill them?" Haku questioned knowing that these medical techniques could kill someone

"No they won't since they can take the punishment alright just make sure to take them out before that chakra cloak of theirs comes out since if you're not careful that stuff will burn you like hell." Naruto told her since these medical jutsu would do well for when she encounters the twins

"How would you know about what their chakra cloaks do, as have you fought jinchuriki more than once before?" Haku questioned as Naruto nodded

"As I've fought against both Iwa's jinchuuriki and the rapping one from Kumo who despite being a pretty cool guy once you get to know him. However, on every account that I fought against them I only managed to by the skin of my teeth escape with my life as the Four Tails did this to me last year something of which I intend to get him back for." Naruto spoke lifting up the back of his shirt to show a large scar like burn that spanned from his shoulderblades down to the lower small of his back and going across lengthwise to his upper latissimus dorsi

"That bastard did that to me in his chakra cloak and in his stage 2 one no less as that's why I want you too be careful if they go into that state then I want you to channel chakra into this and it'll reverse summon me to you." Naruto spoke as he handed Haku a chakra rod

"Thank you however, if I must ask why are you doing this as don't mistake me for being rude or anything but, helping me by having me learn these medical ninjutsu and having Zabuza learn all of those powerful water jutsu you gave him. Not to mention having to teach us both on how to learn the Rasengan I just have to know why are you so keen on helping us get stronger, as you've barely known us and yet you've been going the distance for us and I'd like to know why?" Haku questioned quite curious as to why Naruto despite knowing them for such a short amount of time had been helping them get stronger

"It's simple really Haku as in all the years I've been a mercenary and bounty hunter for hire I've always worked solo and in the rare times that I have it was only for a day or two that and I never really felt like I could connect with any of them. However, you two have actually grown on me to where I actually wanted to help you guys out and get stronger since as weird as this sounds you two might be the only friends I've made during my time as a bounty hunter." Naruto told her since he never really had the time to make friends in these 4 years since his supposed death in Konoha as between ever compulsively trying to increase his strength and amass his wealth Naruto never really had taken the time to make friends

"Well thank you as I guess this would mean that you consider us as one of your precious people then." Haku spoke as she and Naruto took a stroll through the clearing

"I guess you could say that since granted I still want to get to know and help you guys get stronger more so for now we can stick with friends and work up to being one of the few precious people that I have." Naruto spoke in memory of Kageyama, as well as the Uchiha clan namely Mikoto, Shisui and his eternal rival Itachi

"They must be pretty important to you is their anyone of them that you have on mind right now?" Haku questioned as to which of Naruto's precious people he was currently thinking about

"Well that's easy as the one person that's on my mind is named Mikoto Uchiha and I'll tell you what she's one of the strongest and beautiful woman I've had the pleasure to know." Naruto spoke as Haku looked at him in shock

"Wait a minute you know the Mikoto Uchiha?" Haku asked wondering how Naruto knew such a legend

"Yeah why is that a bad thing." Naruto wondered if that was a bad thing

"Not at all considering you know one of the few S-ranking female ninja that's almost unrivaled in skill as she was known for her taijutsu and her fire release that gave her the moniker of Flame Fist for that reason. As rumor goes that during the war she was actually a candidate for being the Hokage but had declined from being too much of a fighter, as for you to have her as one of your precious people is really something quite extraordinary." Haku spoke since Mikoto Uchiha was a legend and deadly force that a very rare few could take on in a fight and live to tell the tale and even fewer can say they have their body parts fully functional and intact

"Huh I actually had no idea that she was that strong then again that would explain the insane amount of chakra she has and the fact that everytime she smiles at me that I felt like I'm being incinerated. As well as the unholy amount of bloodlust and killer intent she has on herself at all times…..takes me back alright." Naruto spoke remembering Mikoto fondly since she was sexy, kind and terrifying all at the same time a true femme fatale that made his heart soar

"You truly are one of kind Naruto Uzumaki." Haku simply said as Naruto to her was truly an enigma

"Hey that's the beauty of getting to know me since I'm 50 shades of fucked all on my own." Naruto spoke as the ice release user chuckled

"That's a strange way of putting it but, no matter as I look forwards to being friends and comrades with you." Haku replied as Naruto ruffled her hair

"Same here good buddy." Naruto told Haku with his trademark lazy smile plastered on his face


(10 days later, 4:20 Am, Wave Country, May 24th 996 S.E)

Naruto was striding towards the bandit camp where Gato's men were since after finding out the bastard was going to cheat him, Haku and Zabuza out of their payment after they got their job done and had even gone behind their backs to hire some dickhead from Iwa who he was paying their combined rate because they weren't doing their job fast enough. This made Naruto a very irate man since no one cheated him out of his money and got away with it which was why he was going to first go to the bandit camp and kill every single bandit there, kill the ninja that Gato hired, take his, Haku's and Zabuza's money plus double for being cheated, give the rest of all of his finances to Wave to royally fuck him over and kill him.

"That bastard thinks that he can just cheat me out of money and get away with it oh I'm gonna make him pay for this." Naruto swore with a vengeance as trekked towards the bandit camp as he summoned two 3 shadow clones each one taking a position

"Alright you 3 let's roast this place to fucking ash as I want all 400 of these fuckers to be ash is that understood." Naruto commanded his clones who gave a loud sir yes sir

"Now then spread out to your positions and on my mark light them the fuck up." Naruto commanded as the clones got into position and once they did all 4 Naruto's flashed through handsigns

"Fire Release: Searing Migraine!" Clone Naruto 1 called out

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage." Clone Naruto 2 intoned

"Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere!" Clone Naruto 3 said

"Fire Release: Great Blaze Ball." Naruto shouted as all 4 worked in concert and released their attacks

The result was a blazing cyclone like mass of flame so intense that brief flickers of bright blinding blue erupted from the sheer heat behind it, as nothing survived as you could hear the chorus of screams from the bandits who were flash incinerated. As some tried to escape the blaze as their flaming bodies ran into the night only for them to succumb as their charred bodies fell to the ground as once the blaze ended only ash and embers remained as not a single body remained in sight.

"Good work you three all of you but 1 are dismissed as I still need you for something." Naruto spoke to Clone Naruto 2

"Come on we got work to do." Naruto told his clone as he had a job for he had for him

"Roger that boss." Clone Naruto 2 spoke as he and Naruto bounded off into the air for the location of the Iwa nin

It took him awhile but, he finally managed to track the ninja that Gato had hired walking out of a bar in a drunken manner as he was currently walking towards his hotel room however using his Asura Path snuck up and unfolding a metal tail about 3 meters long that was saw like in design and used it to impale the Iwa shinobi in the stomach. This caused the Iwa shinobi to vomit up blood before Naruto threw him across the street as blood poured out of the wound as he skidded across the street as he tried to get up Naruto impaled him through the spinal cord causing him to lose his ability to walk.

"You know I would fight you since you're a B-ranked bounty but I'm too angry and cranky to waste time fighting you therefore you'll have to settle for fucking dying." Naruto told the Iwa nin as his clone stomped on his neck with an audible crack

"Good job now then I want you to go with these 11 clones and raid Gato's base as any money, jewels is ours since it's part of our finders fee then I want you to bring Gato back here before sunrise is that understood?" Naruto ordered as he made 11 other clones

"Yes sir!" The dozen Naruto clones yelled in unison

"Then move out as I'll be busy setting up something I've wanted to try with my chakra rods on the bridge in a few hours and I want you back here with everything in order by 6 Am now move out." Naruto commanded as his clones lept through the night in black and orange blurs as he soon produced two dozen chakra rods

"Now then time to see if I can apply what I saw from those bastards in Iwa's Explosion Corps to my chakra rods." Naruto spoke as he channeled a mix of lightning and earth chakra as the rods shortened to be now 3/4th of their original length and thickening to be more rounded and dense in shape

"Excellent all I gotta do is stick these in the ground and on my command those dipshits from Konoha won't even know what's coming." Naruto thought as he repeated the process with the rest of the rods doing this until his clones returned as his clone returned with an knocked out Gato hauled over his shoulder

"Hey Boss everything went accordingly, as we got all our money that was owed to us plus our bonus and after some coercing on our part Gato agreed to give Wave about 85% of all of his wealth while we get 15% so bitching for us." Clone Naruto spoke having he and a few other clones having beaten Gato to death a few times and reviving him through the King of Hell causing each one to disperse with a revival got him to agree

"Great and you've put all our payments back with Zabuza and Haku I assume?" Naruto asked wanting to make sure his money is safe

"Affirmative as our payment is safe inside our lockbox scroll, as it's a good thing we had those Uzumaki's make those before we snapped their necks as those things are godsends." Clone Naruto informed his creator that their money was safe

"Great to know as now all I need to do is make him pay for trying to cheat me out of my money and I've got the perfect solution and the best part is that I won't have to get my hands dirty at all." Naruto spoke with a wide and almost malicious grin as an idea came to mind

"What did you have planned boss?" Clone Naruto questioned as to what his creator had planned

"You still have those accelerated healing seals we forced some of our past Uzumaki captives to make for us in spades?" Naruto questioned as his plan included the use of those seals

"Of course as we've got them up the ass why do ask that." Clone Naruto answered back

"Simple just charge them with hours worth of chakra, slap them on Gato and then we let the citizens of Wave with their newly acquired wealth beat the living hell out of Gato and then we go ahead and simply decimate those Konoha twats with ease." Naruto told the clone of his plan with a sinister smile on his face

"But boss what about those Konoha brats and their Jounin sensei along with their backup since no doubt they'll think something is up considering that Gato is ax murdered and our reason for being here is null and void?" Clone Naruto questioned

"Simple it's because by the time they know of anything that's gone on I'll already be on that bridge by the time they wise up to what's happened and after we've soundly kicked their asses. And if that bridge gets destroyed during the fight then I'll just make a few hundred clones and have them help rebuild it, as it shouldn't be that much of a hassle besides he'll be so happy that we gift wrapped Gato to him that we'll be considered the unlikely heroes." Naruto spoke having that part of the plan covered

"And with us as their heroes we'll be able to have access to trade routes which means free reign to roam in Wave Country without any pesky shinobi on our tail and better yet free boat travel as well." Clone Naruto spoke as Naruto grinned widely

"Correct on all counts as all this equals out to in the long run is an increase in our profits from future jobs not to mention that it's full proof as well therefore we're in the clear." Naruto told his clone as his grin was by this point widened to look predatory

"Now then with that being said help me tie this bastard up as he's got a long day of suffering to go through and after that I'll take myself a long ass nap and following that I'll help Zabuza and Haku decimate those jackasses from Konoha. As hopefully Zabuza will leave me Hatake so I can do a live test of my Wind Release variant to my Rasengan so that I can see if it's ready for stage 2." Naruto spoke knowing that he had a long day ahead of him in the oncoming hours

"This is gonna be a great couple of days coming up I just fucking know it." Naruto thought as his shadow clone soon grabbed a length of chain and began to hogtie Gato

So then with the defeat of Team 7 and Gato's having cheated Naruto out of his money resulted in his future demise and soon enough the famed battle on the bridge, so find out all of what will happen in the next new chapter of You'll never keep down.


So concludes another chapter and I hope you guys liked it since we might be doing the possible conclusion to the Wave Arc unless I leave any loose ends during Chapter 4 so with that being said let's get down to it.

First up we've got Naruto decimating the twins which felt almost like poetic justice because you've got the twins Akame and Hiruzen who've been trained by Minato, Kushina, Jiraiya and Tsunade were given the best training that one could ask for. While Naruto was given a small base of skills to work with as ninjutsu wise it was from the Uchiha's to a small extent his taijutsu while his taijutsu skills were further enhanced by years of underground dogfights and survival training in the Forest of Death and after 4 years of being on his own has taken his Rinnegan, ninjutsu and hand to hand abilities to as high as he can take them thus far. Therefore what we got was that Naruto despite the gap in training was able to surpass them due to the fact that he's willing to do everything he can to win since unlike them he has the strength, ninjutsu and the advantages of the Rinnegan not to mention years of field and tactical experience on his side.

Next up we've got the scene where everyone is calling in for backup and where Sasuke raises the point that bringing Naruto back to Konoha is a liability risk as unlike most stories Sasuke isn't going to be bashed since he has had his entire clan behind him unlike canon he's much more calmed down and not as prideful. But still the fact remains is that Sasuke is the voice of reason within Team 7 since he isn't blinded by the love and want of having a family back together since he knows that trying to get Naruto back together could not only jeopardize the mission but cause unneeded fatal injuries or worse off death which is why Sasuke will be against Naruto coming back since he's putting the mission and team first.

Following that we've got the little scene between Naruto and Haku and yes Haku is going to be a girl because come on I'm not the only one who thinks that Haku looks like a fucking girl. But besides that I'm having Naruto help Haku get stronger and go the medical ninja route considering that as stated Naruto finds Zabuza and Haku as his first actual friends due to having been near them for extended periods of time therefore he wants to do all he can to make sure that his friends grow in strength with him.

Lastly we've got the scene of where Naruto found out Gato cheats him, Haku and Zabuza out of their and more importantly his money which leads to Naruto systematically destroying Gato's forces and robbing him blind of his money. This is something that practically wrote itself out because it showed that when you get in the way of Naruto's money he no longer plays around and instead will just go full stone cold assassin and destroy the person that messed around with his money something that further likens him to Kakuzu.

With all that being said please favorite, follow, review and share this out as much as possible and thanks for the support you guys have given this and my other stories as I really appreciate it. And please give out reviews as they're appreciated and let me know that you guys actually like the story and may even give me ideas for what to do for future chapters. Btw for the poll for those that want Red Hood or Poison Ivy to win the Toxin symbiote I'd suggest that y'all get to voting because Harley is kicking butt with 10 votes and Red Hood and Poison ivy having 6 and 5 votes respectively.

All that being said this is Nomadic Chaos using the powers of Chaos to give you bigger and better chapters as next up will be the conclusion of the Wave Arc so stay tuned for all of that.
