Naruto and The Crimson Vixen
Chapter 3: To Wave
The birds were tweeting and the sun was rising in Konoha as a certain blond was awaking from his slumber due to his set alarm. Naruto now awake slammed his alarm causing it brake under his enormous strength as he did not have his gravity seals activated as he slept. Naruto alarm was set to seven which meant 1 more hour till his sensei Kakashi showed up, however Naruto would laugh if both his teammates arrived at 6 in the morning. Getting up Naruto went to go take a quick shower but before he did Naruto realized the jutsu he mastered yesterday so he created a shadow clone to cook him so breakfast. Naruto smirked at how useful this jutsu could be. Once Naruto finished his shower he dressed into his clothing and strapped on his swords, but as this was happening Naruto received the clones memory as it dispelled itself when it finished making Naruto's breakfast.
Naruto quickly went into the kitchen to eat the clones made breakfast which consisted of eggs, bacon, toast, and a glass of orange juice. Finishing his meal Naruto created 4 clones he made one of the clones clean the dishes and he unsealed his book from his scrolls and handed each clone a book to read and practice their Taijutsu, Fuinjutsu, and Chakra exercises while he was gone. each giving an affirmative nod Naruto then walked out of his home as it was 7:50 he then shunshined to the training ground.
Once teleporting to the kunai he had lodged on to a tree in the training ground he took it and then observed who was here. Naruto then spotted his teammates who looked incredibly bored. Deciding to scare them a bit he jumped out of the tree and in front of then causing them to starttle a bit and get on guard as they though it was Kakashi sensei making the appearance. Sakura however screamed," Naruto you idiot you scared us! And you're late!", Naruto just smirked at how stupid his teammates were and he grabbed his bingo book in his ninja pouch.
Naruto then tossed the book towards his teammates then said," Check page 71 and the bottom description." Once Sakura and Sasuke found the page their jaws unhooked as they saw their sensei as an A-rank shinobi in the bingo book. Once they read how Kakashi was always late Sasuke grit his teeth and was angered while Sakura just screamed at Naruto for not telling them. Right on cue their sensei appeared in the field with a Shunshin.
Once Sakura screamed at their teacher for being late he just claimed," A black cat crossed my path so I had to take the long way around." This caused for the children to sweatdrop at their sensei's antics. Once Kakashi explained that the test was to retrieve a bell from him and there were only two Sakura looked worried about not passing with Sauske, Sauske was more determined to grab a bell, but Naruto was unaffected as he knew Kakashi was up to something. Kakashi then said to his students to come at him with everything they had. When everyone was in position Kakashi yelled begin and the three children jumped into the trees giving Kakashi a raised eyebrow at how his team was actually thinking of plan showing they had some potential.
As Naruto landed on a tree he planted a kunai as he knew Kakashi was a student of his hero the yellow flash and he would recognize the kunai if he thew it and Kakashi managed to see the kunai. Once Naruto saw Kakashi take a book he smiled at how their sensei was underestimating them and he would take advantage. Naruto then created 3 shadow clones while planting his Shunshin seals on them. He then waited for the clones to get in close and see when to Shunshin to a clone that was close to Kakashi.
(With Kakashi)
Kakashi was reading his icha icha paradise till he was interrupted until he saw 3 Naruto's jump from the treetops. Kakashi was surprised as he noticed that these were solid clones which increased his respect for the look alike of his sensei. Two of clones go in front of the masked ninja while one got behind, However while one of the clones approached the jonin head on he didn't notice the other clones stayed behind touching the ground placing Shunshin seals. When one of the clones approached him he noticed how the clones Taijutsu had left no openings concerning the jonin as he realized he needed to put away his book to defend himself. Once the other clones joined in Kakashi was astonished at how the clones were pushing him. Deciding to get serious Kakashi grabbed on of the clones wrist and flung him into another clone. However the last clone hugged Kakashi from behind with super human strength giving Kakashi some trouble.
(Back with Naruto)
Naruto smirked as he saw the last clone grab Kakashi from behind deciding to join the action Naruto Shunshined above the clone. Before Naruto had Shunshined to the clone he however had summoned 4 clones to place a barrier seal to slow down Kakashi. When Naruto shunshined he delivered a strong kick to Kakashi's jaw shocking the jonin sending him hurling to one of the seals the clones placed on the ground. Naruto then teleported to seal and saw Kakashi coming as his sensei flew by Naruto planted a seal on the jonin's flak jacket as he passed by as he then crashed into a tree breaking it to pieces. Once Kakashi was up he got on a serious face as this academy student was at least chunnin level. Naruto then drew both his swords and activated the seals placed years ago which caused the weapons to have a blue sharp aura. As the action was happening the clones were making the barrier and it was now inescapable. Naruto knowing he could not defeat an elite jonin he created a clone which Shunshined to the kunai lodged into the tree from earlier that was outside of the barrier. Once Naruto appeared he began to search for his other teammates such as Sauske and Sakura.
(With Sasuke)
Sasuke was just shocked at what the deadlast of the academy did as he knew he couldn't even push Kakashi that far. Sasuke was down right pissed thinking how did that dobe got those techniques. Sasuke then raised his guard as he heard leaves rustling of a bush nearby. Until he saw Naruto pop out of the leaves.
"What are you doing dobe?", Sasuke said as he didn't know how Naruto was here while the other Naruto was fighting Kakashi.
"Oh i'm just a clone Sasuke, however the boss said if you wanted to work as a team as we know even he and you can't defeat a well seasoned jonin.", said the clone which made Sauske think. He was giving it consideration as Naruto did do a lot of techniques even he could not preform.
"By the way the test is about teamwork! Thats what the boss said as he knew there are no 2 genin and 1 jonin squads!",said the clone.
Not wanting admitting he felt stupid for not thinking of the reason of the test he agreed to team up in which caused the clone to smile and asked if he was ready in which the clone just grabbed the Uchiha's shoulder then they Shunshined to the tree with kunai stabbed into it's trunk. The clone however didn't look for Sakura as she was all just book smarts and would get herself hurt in hand to hand combat.
Once they arrived they saw Naruto with only one of his blades in his hands while Kakashi seemed to have the other. As Naruto went in for a horizontal slash Kakashi went in for a block, however that was Kakashi's big mistake for not being more cautious as Naruto just shunshined the sword Kakashi had in his hand back into it's sheath while Kakashi with pure reflex narrowly dodged the blade having a large rip now noticeable on his left side of his flak jacket. Kakashi was now 5 feet away from a seal that a clone placed while he was thinking how this student was pushing him this far. The clone seeing the opening he grabbed onto the Uchiha's shoulder and once they appeared within the barrier he threw the Uchiha towards Kakashi.
Sasuke then sent a high kick towards Kakashi's head which caused the jonin to get distracted and think how Sasuke managed to join in. Naruto taking the advantage and not wanting his new teammates and sensei to know his 4th hokage like kunai or seal he teleported behind Kakashi sensei with the seal from earlier and lightly touched the bells placing a retrieving seal. Joining in the fight Naruto threw a kick towards the jonin's ribcage with Sasuke in pursuit, however Kakashi wasn't no slob as his Taijutsu had experience in actual combat he caught Naruto's leg and Sasuke's attempt of a punch and threw them back causing them to land on their feet.
(Back in Naruto's POV)
Knowing Naruto already had this test in the bag and figuring out the point of the test to emphasize teamwork he then asked Sasuke," Hey Sasuke do you know any jutsus?" As Naruto did know that the Uchiha were famous for their fire techniques and he wanted to see if he could memorize any jutsus as his clones were outside waiting to memorize any hand signs for his fire style.
The Uchiha gave an affirmative nod and then said," Yeah I know the Great Fireball jutsu.", which gave Naruto a smile at his devious plan. Naruto then marked the ground next to the Uchiha then told him his plan which was to launch the jutsu while he engaged Kakashi in either Kenjutsu or Taijutsu in which caused him to look at Naruto like he was crazy till he explained the rest of his plan. Naruto then charged at the jonin and took out both swords. Kakashi having no choice as his student would just out of nowhere make his weapons reappear or disappear he continuously dodged at his sensei look alike's attacks.
When Kakashi's back was facing Sasuke then said," Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!", which caused for a massive fireball to appear. Kakashi's eyes just widened as he wondered how a kid his age could preform that. Having no choice Kakashi kawarimied with a log within the barrier and saw the fireball crash into a tree. He however was shocked when he saw Naruto right next to Sasuke with both bells. Kakashi was bit proud at how Naruto and Sasuke's teamwork managed to pin him down and get the bells, but was a bit saddened at how Sakura was left out. Once Sakura appeared she was seen weeping at how she thought how useless she was what shocked her was how Naruto just tossed his bell at her.
"Naruto you do know you'll go back if you give her your'e bell.",said Kakashi wondering why Naruto would just give the bell away unless he knew.
"Keep it I could just use the rest of the year at the academy to keep training into learning some other jutsus for my affinities",said Naruto wondering if his sensei was that stupid to think that there was a squad made of a jonin and only of 2 genins.
Kakashi looking into Naruto's eyes knowing he figured it out he then gave a thumbs up and said," You all pass!", which made the 2 other unknowing teammates have a surprised look. Kakashi then asked Naruto to explain in which he told his teammates it was a test based on teamwork, but Naruto told Sakura that her Taijutsu was bad in which could have gotten her captured or injured in the crossfire of the battle Kakashi had with his students. Kakashi gave an eyebrow raise at Naruto at how smart he was. Once the whole Sakura threatening Naruto was over he then told them to meet them tomorrow for training and a mission.
Everyone giving an affirmative nod Sasuke began to walk out of the training area with Sakura on his heels asking for a date. Naruto chuckling at how interesting his team was he then activated all the seals on his weapons which returned all the weapons into his holsters and sheaths. Once he finished he Shunshined home to a well earned nap.
(With Kakashi)
Kakashi was now thinking down of what had happened at the training ground a few minutes ago as he was walking up to the Hokage's office. He was shocked and was thinking about the Minato look alike and how he was assigned on the squad as the child was a one of kind as he was atleast at mid chunin level. Entering in he arrived with the hokage and the other jonin senseis that were reporting about their teams and if they passed. Entering late as always he heard the rest of the jonin's giving their approved nods of the teams passing which consisted of a jonin named Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi( Aka son of the third hokage).
Once it was Kakashi's turn to give his aprrobal he said," yes.", which caused many to turn their heads as Kakashi never had a team before until now. Many were thinking and saying it was because the Uchiha prodigy was in the team. However Kakashi just told his report to the third Hokage and wasn't shocked as many of the other jonin in the room as he knew his surrogate grandson to pull off stunts like that or show off a little bit. Once everyone was gone the Hokage just chuckled at the boys strategy and Kakashi was walking home chuckling as well thinking this was quite a team that reminded him of his own when he was a child.
(Time-Skip 1 month later)
As the team continued to train in training ground making Naruto mad at his jonin instructor as all he teached them was teamwork and all that bullshit. The team as well went through many D-rank missons like painting fences, catching the demon cat tora, and or pulling out weeds. While Naruto was a bit agitated at how their jonin instructor never showed them any techniques they can use he used the time when he finished training with his team he went to his private training ground in the forest and began to practice some techniques from the scroll of seals. Naruto chuckled at how he never noticed when he was writing down form the scroll of seals he wrote down the Flying Thunder God which made him ecstatic however noticing the seal array and the things required for it he decided to make it a side project as it would take years even with his shadow clones. Thinking it would be better to start off with simple techniques Naruto just went to the Ninja Library and copied scrolls on C-rank techniques. Over time Naruto learned a lot jutsus that he could have used in combat and for some tactics. For wind release he had learned the air bullet and the Great Breakthrough, For Fire Release learned the Great Fireball technique as he saw Sasuke preform it and had seen the hand signs as the information of the clones were passed down to him and the Phoenix sage fire, however Naruto's lightning release didn't improve at all as he didn't find any techniques he was interested in.
Naruto as well began to incorporate clones into his Tiger's Fist which was proving useful as one touch could lead to being marked with a seal and it's all over. Naruto as well began to get stronger with his gravity seals as he was know at the speed lee was without weights. Naruto's Kenjutsu also improved a lot as he did the clone incorporation as well. He would hand off a sword to a clone who would help with combat which means Naruto could wield even more than 9 swords, but Naruto knew he could have the clones throw the swords where he could just Shunshin to and attack so Naruto practically had a powerful Taijutsu and Kenjutsu.
However team 7 was heading to the Hokage Mansion to report from their latest mission of removing weeds of a civilian's home. Once they arrived Sarutobi was seen at his desk signing paperwork Iruka was handling the missions for all the teams. Once they arrived and gave their report Iruka was recommending some other D-rank missions. Naruto honestly had enough thats when Naruto's temper just overwhelmed him he snapped and said," Jiji could we please get a C-rank mission! All these missions are just chores for everyday civilians!", when that came out of Naruto's mouth Iruka just began to scold Naruto to respect the Hokage as Sarutobi just chuckled as he knew Naruto was a bit impatient.
Taking it into consideration and asking Kakashi if his team was prepared for a C-rank mission and when Kakashi gave a nod for yes Sarutobi made a hand signal to send in the client. When the doors were open a half drunk middle age man stepped out and took a look at the children that would protect him.
Once he got his balance he proclaimed," These kids are gonna be protecting me?!", said Tazuna as he wanted full grown seasoned shinobi.
When Tazuna said this Sasuke was a bit tempted to show the client who the kid was, while Sakura joined in with Sasuke, however Naruto just ignored the client as he was clearly drunk. Once Sakura and Sasuke were calmed down the client had described the mission that was located in Wave then Kakashi said to meet at the gate at 6am in the morning. Naruto however was surprised as he would be close to his clan's village if he traveled up north. Thinking of a plan to slip pass his teammates to visit the homeland and find any thing useful he had Shunshined home and began to slip into his pajamas as he created a clone to pack his things up for him. Once the clone was dispelled Naruto began to slumber so he could get ready for an important mission that he didn't know that would change his life and his ninja path.
(The Next Morning)
Tazuna was seen with Sasuke and Sakura who were all mad as they had to wait for the blond boy and their lazy sensei. It was currently 8 in the morning when they saw their teammate calmly walk over to them causing for all three of them to have tick marks and have angry expressions. Naruto just smiled and reminded Sakura and Sasuke about their senesi and how he was always late if the mission wasn't higher than a B-rank mission. After a while Kakashi Shunshined in front of the group and just greeted them while Sakura just screamed at their sensei for being late untill he gave a lame excuse of having to help an old lady cross a street and then went to the library to buy the new issue of icha icha paradise. With the team calmed down at the late genin and jonin they began to set out of Konoha.
After a while of walking Naruto began to pick a leaf from a tree as his clone read that if he concentrated wind jutsu into the leaf it would cut the leaf. This was also a training most chunin did to get promoted to jonin, however Kakashi couldn't help but notice what the blond was doing and just smiled as he knew this child would be a great ninja like his sensei. As they kept walking Kakashi had noticed a little puddle in the middle of the road and got suspicious as it hadn't rained in a while. Feeling a bit of killer intent Kakashi confirmed his theory and now wanted to see what his team would do if he was killed. He also saw Naruto begin to concentrate on the puddle as Kurama and him were now buds they fought in combat together and told Naruto their were enemy ninja in the puddle making him get ready and on guard.
As they passed by the puddle two forms formed known as the Demon Brothers, Gozu and Meizu, had charged at the jonin with their gauntlets connected with a spiked chain. Everyone saw Kakashi get wrapped with the chain and killed which caused for Sakura to scream while Naruto was now on alert. With the sensei killed the brothers though this would be an easy job and then charged Naruto however just inactivated his seals and then threw one of his tri-pronged in between the brothers. Once the kunai was in the middle Naruto appeared in between the brothers and with his immense strength had kicked both of the missing nin in their chest braking the chain. However no one had noticed that seals were placed on the brothers chest then Naruto appeared in front of Gozu and slashed at his throat but was meaning to strike him in the chest with the kunai drawing blood. Naruto was shocked as he mentally had simulated this event, but was much harder than in appeared as he just took away a life in one slash.
However Meizu had shook off the blurriness and saw Naruto paralyzed and seeing that this was the boys first kill and he was vulnerable. Once Meizu charged at Naruto angrliy he didn't expect for the jonin of the team to put him in a choke hold. Once Kakashi knocked out the last demon brother he looked at the scarred blond boy until he vomited from the experience. Once Naruto got out of his dazed state he brought out a storage scroll and sealed the body of Gozu as he knew the brother had a bounty and he needed the money. However Naruto just felt horrible he had just taken away a life until Kakashi consulted Naruto that if he didn't kill the missing nin his teammates or Tazuna would have been killed and said that if he felt bad that he took away a life even from an enemy it made him have a heart of gold.
Feeling a bit better Naruto got up until Kakashi began to interrogate Tazuna for why these chunin ranked nin were after the bridge builder. Once Tazuna had explained that Gato had moved to Wave and took over the shipping ports of the land it had been going poor and he wanted to build the bridge so I could bring new trade so the land would bloom like it use to and get back economic stability. Kakashi knowing there would be more ninja sent to kill them he to told Tazuna no untill Naruto said," No I'm staying to help Tazuna his land needs his help and thats what ninja do when people need them I'm not abandoning Tazuna!", Sasuke as well nodded his head to Kakashi agreeing to Naruto's proclaim as he wanted to test himself against stronger ninja, however Sakura was unconvinced to go as she was scared to get killed in the cross fire but would go as Sasuke did.
When Kakahsi asked the rest of his team if they wanted to continue after he explained the danger and told his team it was an A-rank misson. Naruto and Sasuke just gave smirks as they were excited that they were going on an A-rank mission while Sakura feeling a bit uneasy said yes because Sasuke said yes. After their decision they on traveling to Tazuna's home land oh if only they knew what awaited them.
After a day of walking team 7 and Tazuna were now on a boat getting to the shoreline of The land of the waves. They had noticed how foggy it had been getting and how big the bridge was. Once they landed the genins got into a formation triangle like wise and walked towards the bridge builders home. After they had been walking for a while Naruto noticed something in bush move taking no time to find out what it was Naruto grabbed a kunai and launched it at the bush. When a rabbit came out with white fur noticing it was odd he continued to think of why it had white fur.
That was interrupted when Kurama said,"Kit there is an enemy approaching! Tackle you're team to the ground!"
Not objecting to his friends idea Naruto tackled Tazuna and Sakura down while Kakashi tackled down Sasuke while a giant sword passed above them. When they were back on their feet they saw a man with a huge build without a shirt, a mizukagure shinobi headband with bandages on his face, and he was standing on giant sword that was lodged into the tree.
Naruto knew who this was as he had seen the man in the bingo book many times before," Zabuza Mumochi!?",said Naruto seeing this was an A-rank missing nin and was known for his infamous silent killing. Kakashi as well realized who he was dealing with until Zabuza released killer intent to intimidate the genins and jonin. The genins were trembling at how much killing intent this man had released, but Sasuke had it bad as he had a kunai and was know beginning to raise it to kill himself as he was paralyzed at the blood thirst.
Kakashi however interrupted with,"Sasuke calm down?! I promise to protect you guys I never want to see my comrades die before me." With that proclamation Kakashi had lifted his headband on his left eye in which it showed a fully matured sharingan causing Sasuke to gasp. Zabuza then said,"I get to see The copy cat ninja in action what a pleasure." Zabuza then activated his famous silent killing technique in where the area was now filled with mist and team 7 could now barely see anything. Kakashi then screamed at his team to protect the bridge builder in where they did a triangle position around Tazuna. As this happened Zabuza began to muster which vital point he should attack ranging from kidney to heart.
With the genins distracted and scared Zabuza got in front of the bridge builder ready to swing his sword until Kakashi interrupted him and had stabbed him. Something was off and Kakashi soon realized the blood was water from a water clone jutsu then Zabuza appeared behind the vulnerable jonin and swung. He was shocked when he cut threw the jonin it as well was a water clone as he figured that Kakashi had copied the technique in the mist while making his little speech. Kakashi then said," It's over!", as he was behind Zabuza with a kunai which caused Zabuza to laugh at the jonin's proclamation in where the real Zabuza appeared behind Kakashi and then kicked him launching the shocked jonin into a nearby lake.
Zabuza then jumped and landed in the river and then said," Suirō no Jutsu!" in where the Kakashi was now stuck within a dome of water which he could not escape. After doing one hand sign Zabuza made 5 water clones in which one headed to Naruto.
While this was happening Kakashi then said," Run away with the bridge builder and get as far away as you can!", however before the clone could touch Naruto he preformed an air bullet which destroyed the clone. After remembering the moto Kakashi had told them that a friend who disobeyed orders in the shinobi world is trash, but those who abandon their friends are much worse than trash.
"No! Kakashi remeber what you told us those who abandon their friends are worse than trash! So i'll never abandon my comrades!" with that proclamation it shocked Kakashi who was reminded of Obito while Sakura and Sasuke were astonished and Naruto's determination. Creating 10 clones Naruto had sent one clone to discuss the plan with Sakura and Sasuke. The clones then charged with the real Naruto and began hand to hand combat with the Zabuza clones without their gravity seals. Zabuza was a bit impressed at the clones Taijutsu as they were doing quite impressive at holding him back from the bridge builder. After Naruto charged the real Zabuza thinking it would make him drop the jutsu was shocked when Zabuza simply jumped over his punch and Zabuza kicked the blond in the rib cage sending him to his teammates. Naruto then rummaged through his backpack and gave Sasuke a windmill shuriken in where Sasuke threw the shuirken and it headed towards the real Zabuza however Zabuza caught the first one which was his mistake while he jumped over the second one and then telling the genins he couldn't be beat or touched.
After Zabuza had said his nonsense of rambling he noticed shuriken that he had caught he a strange seal placed on to it where Naruto teleported to Zabuza and kicked the fiend with a strong kick which released Kakashi from the water prison. After Kakashi had thanked Naruto who jumped back to land to continue watching the battle. Soon both jonin were preforming multiple hand signs in where they created the water dragon jutsu causing the whole area to flood as both water jutsus collided. Zabuza however was beginning to have trouble with dealing with Kakashi while beginning to think that he could see the future.
Kakashi then continued to copy Zabuzas hand signs and then said,"Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu!" which caused for the missing nin to fly and slam towards a tree while the water vortex sucked him until Kakashi then threw kunai towards Zabuza's legs, arms. and chest. Kakashi then raised a kunai to deal the ending blow until a senbon was stuck into Zabuza's neck causing him to enter a death like state unknown to the rest of the team 7.
Kakashi then checked for a pulse until Naruto asked if he could take the weapon however before he could a hunter nin of the mist appeared and told Naruto,"Wait that sword holds secrets to hidden mist it must come with me for evidence." After Kakashi calmed down Naruto the hunter nin then took away Zabuza's body with a shunshin and said his thank you. However as the team got resuitated and continued ot walk to the bridge builder's home Kakashi had collapsed from chakra exhaustion from using his sharingan, but before Kakashi could hit the ground Naruto had caught Kakashi and then created 4 clones to carry the fallen ninja. After Naruto checked for a pulse he then told everyone that he must be exhausted which caused the others to nod as they continued to the bridge builder's home. As they continued home Naruto couldn't believe his team's luck bad luck and just chuckled at thinking what was to come.
