Guest2-Thanks :D
Ok guys so i decided to add long timeskip instead of short ones. this is because i couldn't think of a good enough mission for each individual time-skip which i thought should be necessary to show the progression of characters.
Recap
Izuna's eyes remained passive as he stared at, the man now known as, Zabuza as he returned the same stare. Izuna thought over the "choices" as Zabuza called them and came to a simple conclusion. He didn't know much about where he was. what year it is. or where the current uchiha clan even is. So option 1 would the most beneficial. 'And when i've gained all the info i need, i'll have to run or kill them both. "Option 1 sounds the most appealing. I think i'll go with that" said Izuna. "Although, you could be lying not even be an Uchiha at all. Prove it to me" Zabuza said as he peered down Izuna harshly trying to have the boy react in some sort of way. However, all that had happened was Izuna's eyes closing and opening, revealing 1 slow turning tomoe in each eye.
Zabuza smirked at turned around with Haku, "follow me Izuna we have much to discuss" was all Zabuza stated as he flickered towards the cave.
As Izuna slowly strided after Zabuza. He quickly glanced towards Haku. From what he could tell she was around his age, albeit maybe slightly older. However, he was snapped out of his musings as s/he suddenly stated "Sorry about earlier. But you can never be too careful. This also doesn't mean i won't keep an eye on you" Was all Haku said before quickening his/her pace to match Zabuza's own.
'Tch, i'll have to be wary around Haku. They're obviously not someone to that gives in easily' Was what Izuna thought before speeding up also.
-In The Cave-
"Now before we do anything, we need to know you kind of skills you possess... Inzuna" Izuna stared at him blankly "My names Izuna" he said but Zabuza carried on. "I belive actions speak louder than words. I've been being tracked by Hunter-nin for the past few days and i want you to take them out. There camp should be approximately 100m north of here. Return if you succeed. If you fail you'll end up dead. By my hands or there's" Zabuza spoke coldly however Izuna only nodded before heading for the exit.
As Izuna left, Haku and Zabuza began to speak. "Why would an Uchiha, that is obviously skilled to have unlocked his sharingan at such a young age. away from Konoha?" Stated Haku curiously. Zabuza just continued to stare at the exit as spoke. "He could be some sort of spy. I've seen the war, how young some ninja fighting on the front lines for Konoha were. I wouldn't put it past them." Zabuza "This will hopefully test his loyalty" Was all that was said as the conversation died.
-Forest-
Izuna jumped from tree to tree approaching the apparent destination, all the while having questions race around his mind. 'How far can i push this body before it collapses in on itself? Did my chakra reserver also shrink?' 'Guess there's only 1 way to find out' He thought as he landed on the edge of the camp.
Drawing his tanto, with his sharingan blazing to life he approached the unsuspecting Hunter-nin. Izuna suddenly leapt forward and stabbed 1 of the hunter-nin in the back, only for the hunter-nin to before he burst into water and suddenly Izuna felt a great amount of chakra racing towards him from behind. Spinning around, as much as his young body could he blocked the oncoming strike of the two hunter-nin. "A little kid?" One questioned "He also possess the sharingan from the looks of things" "But why would he attack us if he is from Kono-" The Hunter-nin was snapped out his conversation as Izuna quickly made various handsigns. With the 'child' hoping he would not fall down due to this 1 jutsu. Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu A great ball of fire suddenly burst from the young Izuna's mouth, although not as big as he used to it was still considerably large. Quickly racing towards the confused Hunter-nins. One jumped out of the way however the other was not as lucky. The one that jumped out of the way had no chance for mourning as he rapidly snapped his head left to right. Trying to located the child.
Three kunai were launched towards the ninja, with him quickly deflecting all of them. However Izuna did not expect what happened next. The ninja flickered behind Izuna and slammed his body into the floor. "You bastard!" Shouted the ninja as he raised his sword into the air only for the boy to dissapear and the ninja to have a tanto stuck through his chest. The hunter-nin coughed up blood as he fell the the ground with the sword being ripped out of their body. "Shouldn't underestimate an opponent. I learnt that the hardway" Stated Izuna, albiet the last bit being muttered. Flicking the blood of his Tanto, Izuna made back his way back to the clearing.
-Back at the cave-
Zabuza grinned widely as he saw Izuna again, realizing he once again found someone to help him rid the mist of Yagura. "Welcome back Izuna" Was all he stated before he walked past him towards a bed. "Get up early. We start training as soon as daylight cracks.
(A/N From this point forward throughout this chapter there will be several time skips to help progess the story. Sorry if this annoys you)
-5 Year later-
Izuna's mastermind plan to betray Zabuza and Haku after he had learnt about the worlds current status was growing more and more difficult with each passing day. It appeared that Izuna had slowly grown to care about his new 'family' and subsequently betraying them would hurt him more than hurt them. Zabuza's cold exterior reminded Izuna greatly of Madara during battle's. While Haku reminded Izuna of his younger siblings before they met there tragic end. The mere thought of them brought anger to Izuna. 'The treacherous snakes' Izuna thought, before taking a breath to calm his nerver and not raise any suspiscion. As for Izuna's training while he had grown stronger phsyically his, with his kenjutsu excelling. He hadn't learnt anything new in terms of ninjutsu or knowledge about the 'Five Hidden Villages' that Zabuza spoke about, or even the 'Kage' that rule them. However he did learn some key information. The Uchiha clan had been masacered. By one man they say, and their own kin at that. 'How far had they fallen since Madara's defeat?' Izuna thought bitterly.
-In Konoha-
(A/N I will skim over the details of Team 7's mission until Izuna is put into the scene, this is because i think you guys have read this alot before and don't want to spend several chapters reading the same story. I hope you understand)
While Genin were normally assigned D-rank missions, Naruto insisted on doing something more exciting, and the Third Hokage agreed to send them on a C-rank mission to escort Tazuna, a master bridge-builder, back to the Land of Waves. During their mission, the team was attacked by two ch?nin, enemies at a level that wasn't supposed to be encountered on a C-rank mission. Naruto, surprised by the ch?nins' appearances, panicked and was struck by one of the ch?nin's poisonous metal gauntlets. Sasuke, in Naruto's absence, dealt with the attackers quite efficiently, and rubbed it in by one-upping of Naruto by calling him a "scaredy-cat". Once the attackers had been restrained, Naruto bled out the poison he had received by stabbing his wound with a kunai, swearing upon the pain in his hand never to freeze up and leave his friends to fend for themselves ever again.
Kakashi, his suspicions raised by the attack, asked Tazuna for the truth about the circumstances of the mission. Tazuna explained that the Land of Waves had been taken over by a shipping magnate called Gat?, who had effectively bankrupted all the people of the country, and that the only way to revitalise the economy was by building a bridge to the mainland that could render moot Gat?'s shipping monopoly. However, Gat? did not want that to happen, and used shinobi gangs to assert his control. Team 7's actual mission was to support and protect the bridge-building efforts that had been thwarted thus far.
Upon arrival at the Land of Waves and on the way to Tazuna's home, Naruto, bent on outdoing Sasuke, threw a kunai at a bush, surprising the other ninja and putting them on guard. Once it was clear that it was nothing, Sakura yelled at him for his apparent mistake, but Naruto threw another kunai at a bush in the other direction. Sakura hit him on the head this time, though Naruto swore he had sensed something. As it turned out, he had sensed a snow rabbit, which was now scared out of its mind due to the kunai only an inch from its head. Naruto apologised to and sympathised profusely with the rabbit, picking it up and hugging it to an extreme. While the others dismissed his antics as Naruto's usual idiocy, Kakashi noticed something strange about the rabbit: its fur was white. Snow rabbits are only white during winter, meaning that this rabbit had been raised indoors and therefore belonged to someone nearby.
-With Zabuza-
"Don't jump in unless absoulutely necessary. Understood?" Zabuza said facing the ninja hailing from Konoha. "Yes" Haku and Izuna said, almost mechanically. "Good, also put your masks on" Zabuza said throwing his sword towards the unsuspecting ninja.

Next chapter expect alot of different things to be explored and for characters to well... you'll have to find out.
