Chapter 3: Good to Have You Demon

Naruto sat at the eastern gate waiting for the arrival of his team contemplating. 'Hmm so my first official mission as a Ninja and outside of the village…this should be fun.' Catching the slight whiff of smoke and forest Naruto smirked.

"Enmaku report." Naruto smiled, as his old friend appeared in what would appear to be a tornado made out of smoke.

"It seems that this wave country is under the rule of an evil shipping magnet that goes by the name of Gato although his business seems legit on first glance, in all reality he is the biggest drug and illegal arms dealer this side of the Elemental countries. He has also been known to take out any opposition by hiring missing nin to get rid of them and then he is also known to hire more missing nin or bandits to get rid of those missing nin and so on and so forth. That is all the information I could obtain on wave country Sir I'm sorry I couldn't do more." Naruto smiled at his old friend and said.

"You have done more than enough Enmaku thank you now then I want you to follow our group a good thirty feet behind but keep your ears pealed for any sign of our needing help understand?" Enmaku nodded and then disappeared in the same tornado of smoke. And so the usual greeting started with Shino showing up first followed by the Inuzuka Trio, but this time following the Inuzuka was the client Tazuna. Tsume looked at her Genin and couldn't help but notice how relaxed Naruto seemed to be.

"Okay Genin we are going to travel in a pentagon formation Kemuri you take lead Kiba and Shino take middle whilst Hana and I will take up the rear." Naruto chuckled at the wording but did as was told. Naruto watched as Kiba started bouncing on the balls of his feet and snickered.

"If you had to piss Kiba you should have gone before we left or use a tree but I'm not stopping so you better hurry up." Kiba glared at the snickering Genin.

"I don't have to pis…pee I'm just excited this is my first time out of the village isn't it yours?" Naruto cocked his head to the side and said.

"No it's not, so for the sake of this mission and everyone here both you and Shino get one thing strait, out here it is survival of the fittest any rank you earned in the academy doesn't mean shit out here so wise up and pay attention or else this place will be your grave sight." With that Naruto looked back towards where he was going and continued on down his trail. Unseen by the three Genin the two in the back seemed to freeze at his words. 'But how he looked so much like…'

___Flashback___

A Short Blond haired man turned towards his only female teammate and said.

"Tsume either wizen up and realize that clans don't mean shit out here…or this place will be your grave sight."

___Flashback End___

Hana turned towards her mother and thought. 'That speech was amazingly close to the one my mother gave me…but how would he know it.' Shaking themselves out of their stupor the two Inuzuka followed closely behind the three Genin.

Naruto's eyes flickered to what most would assume to be a small puddle in the middle of the road, but Naruto knew better. Giving off a slight chuckle Naruto said.

"Still using the same Genjutsu huh? No originality all well." As those words left his mouth two Ninja appeared where the puddle use to be. Naruto chuckled and cocked his head to the left to get a good look at them.

"Well well well if it isn't the not so infamous Demon Brothers so what are your plans with the bridge builder Gatou must have paid you a pretty penny if you risked going up against me to kill him." The rest of his team watched as Naruto challenged and taunted two C-Rank ninja as if it were nothing.

"You may have caught us off guard last time Kemuri but this time you're dead." Naruto chuckled and said.

"Oh please it's not my fault that you couldn't stand the heat…oh and by the way Hijutsu:Kiri no Senka." His team watched as a familiar tornado of smoke surrounded Naruto and barely had time to cover their noses and mouths as the smoke blasted outwards covering the entire field. Everyone started twisting and turning as they heard a dark wispy voice float into their ears.

"Darkness is amazing it has the ability to shield you from the things you're scared of, or the ability to shield the thing your scared of from you, as the case may be." The demon brothers twisted and turned trying to locate the voice.

"Do you really think you are going to find me like that? You disappoint me Demon Brothers. If that is all you have…" Their eyes widened as the blond haired gennin appeared in front of them a hand on each of their chests. Naruto smirked.

"…then you're already dead." Naruto disappeared into the darkness of the smoke again. His team watched in amazement as the smoke seemed to move to the side of the path allowing them to see what was happening. Naruto stood leaning against a tree with the demon brothers in the middle of the path frozen where they stood, in the middle of their chest was placed a small tag. Naruto chuckled and slowly walked over to them.

"Well now looks like you got caught in my trap my dear little missing-nin. So tell me who hired you?" The first brother growled.

"We ain't telling you shit phantom." Naruto chuckled. Tsume grew confused.

"Phantom?" The brothers smirked.

"Are you telling me you have no idea who this is?" Gouzo said flicking his head towards Naruto. Naruto glared at the brothers. Gouzo smirked.

"Your new teammate is rather famous among bandits and low ranking missing-nin. He is known as 'Kemuri No Gen'eigan' he took out the largest human slavery ring in the elemental countries all by himself killing one-hundred and fifty bandits as well as 11 d-rank and 3 c-rank missing-nin all in under ten minutes…" Naruto's team gasped as turned their gaze towards him. Gouzo chuckled again. "…the survivors of the battle spread word of the single eye that stared out at them trough the darkness. An eye that spun with rage and death…no one knows what color it is truly…but we all know…that under that headband…he holds the eye of a phantom." Naruto chuckled and glared at the demon brothers.

"And you would do well to remember that you are not above my ability to kill…especially with those tags on your chest." The demon brothers looked down at their chest and saw a small tag with a very intricate seal array written on them. Naruto smiled at their confusion.

"Those little beauties are of my own design they are called Fuunin: Douchou or body block seals." The demon brothers glared at Naruto.

"What do they do?" Naruto chuckled.

"Do I look like a comic book villain to you?" With that smoke covered the area again his team had no idea what was going on but from the screams that the demon brothers let out it wasn't pretty. As the smoke slowly started to dissipate team ten looked around trying to find some form of evidence that there was a fight, only to see a completely clean clearing.

"Are you coming or not? Because if you aren't then there really isn't any reason for me to wait for you." Turning towards the voice team ten saw Naruto leaning up against a tree with his arms crossed over his chest. Tsume glared at him.

"You fucking brat now we don't know who they were after." Naruto rolled his eyes.

"If you really don't know then you are dumber then you appear to be…and that's pretty dumb." Without another word Naruto turned and started walking towards the path. After about five minutes of walking a voice broke the silence.

"Kemuri-san is what that missing-nin said true?" Naruto turned towards Shino and raised his uncovered eyebrow.

"The missing-nin said a lot of things which part do you want clarified?"

"We want to know if you really killed all those people?" Kiba growled out. Naruto glared at the young Inuzuka.

"This conversation is between Shino and I so please keep your mouth shut." Turning back towards Shino, Naruto nodded giving him permission to ask his question. Shino nodded and proceeded.

"As our tactless teammate said I wish to know whether it is true that you broke up that slave ring?" Naruto responded without missing a step.

"Yes." All those present went stock still and silent. Hana was slightly worried.

"Umm…how?" Naruto cocked his head at the young Inuzuka girl.

"What do you mean how?" Hana shifted slightly in her place.

"How did you do it?" Naruto turned and started walking.

"This eye of mine has the ability to do amazing things…but at terrible cost to the user." Hana was even more concerned now.

"What…what does it cost you?" Naruto chuckled.

"It depends on what I do." Tsume decided to intervene.

"What all can your eye do?" She asked making Naruto snorted.

"And why would you be interested in that?" Naruto said making Tsume glare at the blond haired pain in the ass.

"Because it could help with the team." Tsume responded making Naruto chuckle.

"As I said this isn't a team but a suicide job…but I will comply to your wishes…my eye does a plethora of things each with it's own consequence for instance one ability of my eye you have already seen." This made the Inuzuka trio stop.

"What do you mean we've never seen anything under your headband?" Hana replied. Naruto chuckled.

"Oh really if I recall Inuzuka-san several days ago one of your dogs died…and yet she stands there beside you as if nothing happened…not even a scar…" The Inuzuka's eyes widened to unbelievable levels.

"So what you're saying is that you can bring the dead back to life?" Naruto rolled his eyes.

"Is that not what I said?" Tsume was shocked. 'Then…then he could…' Hana gave him a concerned look.

"You said each ability had it's own consequence… what is this ones?" Naruto looked forward down the path they were walking on. Not wanting to see the joy in their eyes as he told them the price.

"The price of this ability is time for time and pain for pain." This confused Hana.

"What do you mean time for time and pain for pain?" Naruto gave off a dark chuckle.

"When I bring something back from the dead they had to have died from combat or else I cannot return them. When I return their soul to their body I must pay for all the time that they have died…with time off of my own life. If they were injured in battle then their injury becomes my pain and my eye bleeds. You now know the consequence of this power." Without another word Naruto continued on the path.

The rest of the day was traveled in silence. It was around nine O'clock at night when the five stopped for the evening. Naruto watched as his teammates and client set up their tents. While Naruto was lost in thought he failed to notice the Inuzuka pup that had snuck up behind him. Naruto shot to attention when he felt the soft fur of the massive pup nuzzle her head into his hand. Looking down at the only female in Hana's triplets, Naruto smiled. Giving her a quick scratch behind the ear Naruto said.

"You might wish to leave now…your father wouldn't be happy if he saw you with me…Inuzuka-sama wasn't when I first talked to Kiba." The pup nuzzled its head into Naruto hand again but walked away. Naruto smiled as the pup walked over and joined the rest of her family. He couldn't help but let a small tear escape his eye as he saw one of Hana's pups put it's paw down on Akumaru's head when he started barking, and Kuromaru admonished the pup for picking on the little one. 'Is this…is this what a family is supposed to be?'

An hour passed and everyone was finally done setting up his or her tents. In that hour that everyone was working Naruto was out gathering firewood knowing that it would be a cold night. Walking into the camp sight, Naruto wasn't surprised to see Tazuna already asleep and the rest of his team laughing and joking around. Well as much a Shino can joke around. Walking towards the side of the clearing, a place with the least amount of debris, Naruto set up a small amount of the firewood before unloading the rest next to his so called team. As Naruto lit his small fire and lay his sleeping bag down Naruto heard a guttural voice growl at him.

"Don't assume fox that just because you saved my pup I suddenly like you." Naruto didn't respond causing the voice to growl deeply.

"Don't ignore me fox." Naruto again didn't respond. Naruto cocked his head to the side as he heard the possessor of the voice leap at him. Naruto smiled as he saw a red blur intercept the attacking Kuromaru. Everyone on team ten turned as they saw Kuromaru fly into the middle of the camp sight. Turning towards where he came from ready for an attack they were shocked to find two angry cerulean orbs glaring at him.

"You listen and you listen well you domesticated little mutt. I have put up with you threatening my master. Hell I have put up with you chasing my master, as I knew you would never catch him. However should you ever attack my master again I'll rip your throat out and show it to your pups!" Kuromaru growled deeply in his throat. Enmaku growled deeper and shot at him. Team ten watched in horror as Enmaku fought against the smaller Kuromaru. Tsume had tears in her eyes as she saw Enmaku pin Kuromaru and reach for his throat. 'Please…please don't…I can't handle loosing you too.' As if hearing her prayers Enmaku was violently ripped off of the smaller animals frame and thrown clear across the clearing. Looking up at he who would answer her prayers she was surprised to see a single eye

with a glacier like glare pointing at Enmaku.

"Enmaku why do you persist in disobeying me?" Team ten's eyes widened as the once feral Enmaku, that almost ripped out the throat of the strongest fighting dog of the Inuzuka, laid his ears down in shame.

"But Sir you are too lenient on them you should make all those who have harmed you pay!" Naruto gave off a sad chuckle.

"Enmaku…I'm sorry…" Enmaku tilted his head in confusion.

"Sorry…sorry for what Sir?" Naruto gave a sad smile behind his mask.

"It seems that my anger at the Inuzuka's has worn off on you…it seems I am no better then the fools of the village. Enmaku the reason I never retaliated on the Inuzuka or any of the others is because of you." Enmaku looked down in confusion.

"Me Sir?" Naruto smiled.

"Yes I did not want you to grow up the way I did. I had always hoped that you would have talked with the mutts at the Inuzuka compound. I hoped that you would learn from them how to use your chakra not from me. And finally I hoped you were smart enough to leave me before you were hated as well." Enmaku glared at Naruto.

"But Sir they hurt you how could I ever want their help?" Naruto gave the large fox a sad smile.

"Enmaku I think you are to hard on those that have done you no wrong." Enmaku growled.

"And I think you should have let me put an end to filthy mongrel before he pulls something again." Naruto glared at the fox.

"Enmaku I have no problem voicing my dislike of the Inuzuka however I will not allow you to kill someone over something that doesn't even effect you." This satement made Enmaku's eyes widen in shock. The fox bowed his head in shame and disappeared into the darkness of the woods.

Naruto looked back at team ten to see them all of the Inuzuka fussing over a few scratches that were on Kuromaru. Naruto sighed knowing he won't be able to sleep in the camp sight that night. Walking over to his little corner Naruto rolled up his sleeping bag and doused the small fire. Shino watched all of this with interest but never said a word as the blond hair smoke user trekked out of sight. Shino turned towards the rest of his team and couldn't help but think how right Naruto's description of this team really was. After fifteen minutes of fussing over Kuromaru everyone seemed to calm down and took their seats around the campfire. Tsume gave a confused look at the fire.

"Umm who went and got the firewood?" Shino inwardly sighed.

"Kemuri-san did while we were setting up our tents." Hana looked around the clearing.

"Where is the little brat anyway." Shino knowing who she was talking about again responded.

"He left after he saw you all worrying over Kuromaru-san. For he felt as if he was not wanted here." This surprised everyone.

"Wow to break down his camp that fast I gotta say boys pretty good at setting up a tent." Shino gave out a hmm.

"It didn't look to me like he even possessed a tent." Tsume snorted.

"Little punk probably forgot it." Shino shook his head.

"I don't think so Tsume-san." Tsume glared at the bug user for saying she's wrong.

"Ohh really then what do you think brat?" Shino pushed his glasses back up his nose and said.

"I don't think Kemuri-san possesses any camping supplies nor has he ever if I am correct." Hana raised an eyebrow at this.

"Oh and what makes you say that?" Shino sighed again.

"One, while we were setting up tents he left to collect firewood knowing it would be cold, even though the forecast said it would be a warm night. Two, when we left Konohona he didn't seem to have any back pack. At the time I assumed that he sealed his equipment, but now I think other wise. And finally, when I watched him leave I notice that the sleeping bag he was using looks like it was caught in a shredder, and it hardly had any insulation left." This left the Inuzuka trio to think in order from oldest to youngest. 'Hmm how did I miss that?' 'Why didn't he say anything?' 'Why doesn't he have any camping equipment…surly his parents can't be that poor.' Hana stood from her seat and started walking towards the woods. Tsume turned towards her daughter.

"And where are you going?" Hana stopped and cocked her head to the side.

"I'm going to find him." Tsume glared a little at her daughter.

"Leave him be if he wants to go off and pout then let him." Hana glared angrily at her mother.

"He didn't leave to pout he left because he thinks we hate him!" Tsume glared hard at her daughter.

"No I forbid you from going after him." Hana's eyes widened. 'My mothers never actually forbade me from doing something before…' Returning her glare Hana growled.

"I don't care I'm going after him." Tsume's glare intensified.

"Hana if you dare go after that boy then you can expect not to come home." Hana stopped as all those present's eyes widened.

"Wha…what?" Tsume glared at her daughter.

"You heard me if you walk out of this clearing before I give you permission you will not be allowed back in my house." That brought Hana to her knees. Hana looked into her mothers eyes and saw how serious she was. Hana dropped her head and sat back down by the fire, head dropped not making eye contact with anyone. Shino watched this display with as much rage as an Aburame can feel. He couldn't help but see how truthful his father was being.

___Flashback___

Shino walked into his fathers office after his first official team meeting. Shino stood quietly on the opposite side of the desk waiting for his father to acknowledge him. Shibi looked up from his paper work and asked.

"Who are they?" Shino nodded.

"My team mates are Rookie Genin Inuzuka Kiba and Special Genin Kemuri Naruto. My Sensei's are Inuzuka Hana and Inuzuka Tsume." Shibi shook his head slightly. Shino took that as his symbol to leave. As Shino opened the door he heard his fathers voice break through the silence of the room.

"Shino." The younger Aburame turned his head.

"That boy Kemuri…look out for him…" Shino raised an eyebrow.

"Why?" Shibi gave a small sigh.

"Because no one else will."

___Flashback End___

And now seeing the way the Inuzuka's were treating him he understood. Standing from his seat Shino made his way towards the forest.

"And where do you think you're going?" Shino didn't even turn around.

"I am going to find my teammate…as it seems I am the only one he has." Without another word Shino broke the tree line and disappeared into the forest. Hana stood from her seat silently at his words and made her way into her tent. Hana laid down in her sleeping bag and finally allowed the tears she was holding to fall.

Shino followed his bugs to where Naruto was and was surprised to see him standing there as if he was waiting for them. Naruto smiled as he saw Shino walk calmly into the clearing.

"Hello Shino I figured you would be the one to come and find me." Shino raised an eyebrow. Naruto chuckled.

"Please Shino as I said you are the only one that would even try to work with me, but you can't…until now." Shino's eyes widened as he heard those words. Naruto smiled as he reached behind he neck and plucked the small beetle, Shino had planted there, from his skin. Holding the beetle out in front of him Shino's eyes widened. Instead of the usual purple and black beetles that inhabited Shino's body this beetle was pure black, but still attracted the male kuchiku bugs. Naruto chuckled and let the small insect fly back into Shino's body.

"I did the same thing I did with Enmaku to one of your bugs. She's a female so by the time we return to Konohona you should have enough to use Jutsu and actually fight alongside me." Shino stood in amazement as the small black beetle crawled back under his skin. Shino looked back up at Naruto.

"I was not the first one to try and come looking for you." Naruto's single visible eyebrow rose.

"Oh really?" Shino gave a swift nod.

"Yes Hana-san was the first to try and come after you, but her mother stopped her rather harshly." Naruto gave out a sigh.

"It seems that I may have been to harsh on some of the Inuzuka…or maybe just Hana-san." Naruto looked at Shino and smiled.

"Thank you for telling me this Shino now I have some things to think about." Shino nodded, dropped a sleeping bag at the edge of the clearing and disappeared back into the forest.

The next morning came swiftly to some, but all arose as the sun peeked through the trees of the early morning. The Inuzuka trio, Shino, and Tazuna packed up camp and looked around the clearing. Tsume growled.

"Whatever lets go people we can't wait around on the little brat." The team all turned and started following Tsume, although Hana reacted a little late. About five miles up the road they were met with a horrible sight. There where bandits dressed in all black walking by large cages on wheels. Inside the cages however is what was so horrifying. Inside the cages were women of all ages. One of the men walked up to one if the cages and chuckled.

"Oh I'm going to have fun with you. You dirty little who…" His voice however was cut off as a chuckle echoed through out the clearing.

"If I were you I wouldn't finish that sentence shit stain." All of the men turned trying to locate the voice when suddenly the area exploded into a cloud of smoke. All of the bandits started to get worried now.

"With those whose hearts are as black as pitch. You'll find your body in a ditch. I mean no harm I wish you well, for soon you'll find yourself in hell." As the last word was said a single solid blue eye shown out through the darkness and glared at those who have wrong the innocent. As they looked into that eye a vision of death shown before them. They watched as their blood drained from their bodies and as the Shingami came and took their souls. Finally gaining enough courage one of the bandits was able to stutter out.

"It's the phantom!"

"Get hi AHH" The single blue eye moved around the darkness faster than anything the bandits have ever scene. Team ten stood by watching in horror as the mist cleared to show the bandits body's torn apart and shredded. Naruto, who was suspiciously clean of blood, walked over to the cages and broke the locks holding then together. Naruto turned after he broke all of the locks and made his way off into the woods. Only to be stopped by a frantic voice.

"Mommy? Mommy wake up…we're free mommy we can go home…mommy…mommy please wake up…please." Naruto looked over his shoulder to see a girl around the age of five shaking a woman. Looking over the cuts on her body Naruto could tell that she dies from the cut that went up her right forearm. Sighing Naruto walked over to the girl and set his hand on her shoulder. Giving her a slight smile Naruto asked.

"Hey do you think I could try waking her up…it seems she's kinda out of it." The little girl looked down and the ground.

"You're…you're not going to hu…hurt her…like…like the mean men did…are you?" Naruto shook his head causing the young girl to smile brightly at him. Walking over to the fallen women the little girl gasped in surprise as she saw his pure blue eye turn green with a blue middle. Naruto focused chakra into his eye. Naruto gave a small smile as he felt the blood drip down his face. The little girl squealed as she saw her mother's eyes open. Knowing that she has returned Naruto cut his chakra flow and turned to walk away. Naruto was stopped however when he felt a small tug on his pants leg. Looking down he saw the same little girl from earlier.

"Thank…thank you for waking my mommy up." Naruto smiled down at the little girl.

"Don't thank me for this… I have done nothing extraordinary." With that Naruto rubbed the little girls head and walked back over to his team. Naruto raised an eyebrow at the looks his team was giving him. Deciding not to ask Naruto walked past his team and continued on the path. Naruto was stopped again this time by a hand grabing his shoulder and spinning him around. As Naruto spun he drew the hidden Kunai from within his sleeve. As he raised the kunai into an attacking position he was met with the two brown eyes filled with concern and confusion. Naruto's eyebrow raised in confusion at the sight of the looks the Inuzuka's were giving him.

"Can I help you?" Naruto asked making Hana look at the blood that poured from his covered eye with concern.

"Why?" Naruto turned away from the feral girl at her question and continued on the path ignoring her question. Her hand grabbed his shoulder again.

"Don't ignore me damn it! I'm sick of not knowing anything about you! Why do you hate the Inuzuka? Why do you wear that mask? How did you get that eye? Why…Why did you save them when it cost you part of your life?" At Hana's questions Naruto cocked his head and glared at the brown haired beauty behind him.

"Unless you want to lose your arm I suggest you remove your hand from my shoulder." Hana glared right back at that responce.

"Not until you answer my questions!" Hana yelled making Naruto glare hard at the girl and broke her hold on his shoulder.

"If you want your first three questions answered ask your mother." Hana went wide-eyed at the responce.

"And…and the last one?" Naruto looked down the path they were traveling on.

"Tell me do you remember a homeless man that always stood in the alley between the Hokage tower and the missions office?" Hana was confused but replied.

"Yeah I've seen him before but not lately why?" Naruto gave a sigh.

"What do you know of that man?" Hana raised an eyebrow.

"I don't know he was a homeless, older man, umm he had white hair…and I don't know any thing else." Naruto cocked his head back.

"His name was Kazuma Akuma, he was an ANBU captain in the third great shinobi war, he created the Katon Karyuu Endan no Jutsu, this jutsu was then stolen by the Uchiha shortly after, during the war he had a wife and two kids how ever his wife couldn't handle the changes war has brought on him so she left him taking his retirement penchant with her. The man was going to celebrate his sixty second birthday this fall, but you know the thing almost nobody knows about him?" Hana still didn't get it.

"This doesn't answer my ques…" Naruto cut her off.

"The thing almost nobody knows about him is…that he died three months ago…so you ask me why I give up my life for people I don't know or people I don't like? The same reason he did because those people will be remembered…that little girl will remember and love her mother for the rest of her life…you will love your mutt…I am an orphan child that lives off anything I can find…no parents…no friends…no partners…when my time on this earth is up…it will be like I was never here…come on we have to get going…we're on a schedule." Team ten and Tazuna stared at the fading back of the blond haired assassin each feeling something different. Confusion shot through Tsume like a rocket. 'I…I see…maybe…maybe he's not so bad…no…no this is a trick from the fox…yeah that's it…' Rage and sadness hit Hana like a kunai between the eyes. 'He…he thinks no one cares if he lives…damn it mother if you didn't stop me last night maybe I could have figured out a way to help.' No real emotion hit Kiba but he couldn't help but wander. 'Is that how I would have turned out if I didn't have any family?' Shino just looked on in thought trying to find a way to help. Tazuna stared in complete disbelief. 'Is this what it means to be a ninja?'

The trip continued on in silence with Naruto traveling a good ten feet in front of the rest of the group. The rest of the team were surprised when the blond haired boy in front of them came to abrupt stop. Tsume looked at him in confusion.

"Kemuri what's with the hold up?" Naruto's single eye drew into a dark glare and a deep almost evil growl escaped his throat.

"Come to me Enmaku." The words slipped out of his mouth and the large fox appeared by his side. The Inuzuka all tensed as the next words left his mouth.

"Sick him Enmaku." The red fox grinned evilly and disappeared. One Enmaku was out of the clearing the sound of slicing wind entered it. Naruto smirked behind his mask. Naruto leaned his body backwards at a ninety-degree angle and chuckled as he saw the large cleaver glide inches away from his nose. Standing up Naruto clapped his hands together.

"I must say you always did have a flair for the theatrics…Zabuza." A gasp escaped Tsume's mouth as the large bandaged man with camo pants and a tilted and slashed mist forehead protector seemed to appear on top of the cleaver that was imbedded inside of a tree. The man standing on top of the cleaver glared at the blond with hatred. Tsume growled at the man.

"Zabuza the demon of the bloody mist what are you doing here?" The bandaged man turned his glare towards Tsume and gave an unimpressed look.

"Well if it isn't the Konoha Ryouken no Makai (Hound of Hell) oh and you even brought the Cerberus…still not worth my time…" Tsume growled.

"Come on Kuromaru…Gatsuga!" Zabuza rolled his eyes as he saw the clan tactic. Naruto watched on knowing exactly what was going to happen. As the spinning tornado of teeth and claws drew with in inches of Zabuza…he jumped. Naruto shook his head as he saw the bandage covered man ax kick the elder Inuzuka into the ground. Hana watched as the demon kicked her mother to the ground as if she was nothing.

"I'll fucking kill you for that! Sanhitsu no Cerberus!" (Three heads of Cerberus) Naruto's eye widened at the technique as he watched the chakra from her three dogs takes the shape of a massive three-headed hell beast and rush at Zabuza. Looking over at the extremely calm Zabuza he couldn't help but sigh. 'Damn he's good.' Hana couldn't help but stare in amazement as she saw the giant water dragon rise from the lake behind Zabuza and tear through her Cerberus. Naruto watched, as while Hana was preoccupied with handling the water dragon with her three dogs. Zabuza appeared behind her and knocked her out. Now while Zabuza didn't have a problem with killing people he would hate to lose a good challenge. Zabuza turned and attacked the bridge builder. Kiba, Shino, and Tazuna all watched in horror as the giant cleaver started coming down on them. Tazuna closed his eyes not wanting to see his death.

CLANCK! Tazuna's eyes shot open at that noise to see the blond haired ninja standing in front of him arms crossed with two strange blades in his hands. Attached to each of his hands was what looked like a pair of brass knuckles with a spear tip coming out the front of the knuckles as well as three blades that trailed down his forearms. One blade ran down the outside, one ran down the inside, and the final blade ran down the top portion of his forearm. Naruto smirked at Zabuza.

"Well now isn't this a familiar situation Zabuza?" Zabuza growled.

"I warned you brat that should we ever cross paths again you would taste my blade." Naruto flip himself to the side bringing Zabuza's blade with it and right into the ground. Naruto chuckled at demon of the mist but on the inside he was nervous.

"If I recall our last encounter left you with no pants or eyebrows so tell me why would this one be any different?" Zabuza chuckled darkly.

"Because I see you got a new sensei, and I can tell just by that little skirmish with her she can't keep up with me nor does she know a blade from the pummel so you tell me boy what makes you think you can really do anything to me?" Naruto smirked.

"Because…this time…we fight on my terms." Zabuza started coughing as smoke and ash entered his lungs. Still coughing Zabuza tried to focus his senses into the darkness like he does with his mist. A deep chuckling broke him from his efforts.

"Do you really think I would forget who I'm facing Zabuza I know what your specialty is? Once your trick is found out however…it's easy to fight you." Zabuza's eyes flew open as he felt a blade cut into his right forearm. Looking into the darkness Zabuza was met with a single swirling solid blue eye staring out at him through the smoke.

"It seems that this time Zabuza you'll have to fight with a sense you haven't used in years…your eyes." Zabuza tried again to extend his hearing as much as he could. The only thing that reached his ears was another chuckle.

"You just don't get it do you Zabuza…in this smoke…I am king…I don't have foot steps if I don't want them…I have no smell if I wish it…in this smoke I don't even have a heartbeat…the only way you even have a hope of beating me is to open your eyes and look into mine…but tell me Zabuza…can you do it…can you look into my eyes and see your worst fears…tell me Zabuza…are you scared to look into the eyes of your phantoms." The chuckle got darker as Naruto noticed that Zabuza never opened his eyes.

"So much for the vicious demon…what a waste." Zabuza's eyes snapped open in anger. Zabuza realized his mistake a little to late as he saw the swirling yellow eye with a blue center.

"I win again Zabuza" Those were the last words he heard before his whole world went blank. Naruto chuckled as he saw the larger man fell from his spot on his sword. Naruto turned towards team ten and smiled behind his mask.

"Well we might as well get these tw…AHH!" Team ten stared in fright as Naruto screamed and clutched his now bleeding spinning eye.

Naruto could feel it the hatred they felt for him. It felt like one thousand senbon needles pushing their way into his heart. He could feel it. The anguish they held at the loss of their loved ones. The loved ones that died at the paws of the horrid beast he held. He felt sadness…sadness at not being able to stop the fools from harming the small child turned assassin under his care. He could feel the loss…the loss of a friendship…of a sensei…of a family. That's all Naruto could take before his whole world went black.

He could feel them the steel like claws as they dug into his skin. He felt the teeth tore at him like a bad piece of meat. Naruto's single blue eye snapped open. Seeing the unfamiliar wooden ceiling Naruto started scanning his body and his surroundings. Five beings were inside the room one located across the room, three in a cluster located about five feet to his right, and the final being was within an inch of his right hand. Taking a quick look to his right he was surprised to see a sleeping Inuzuka Hana with her head not even an inch away from his hand. Sitting up Naruto looked around at the other figures inside the room. As he figured after he saw Hana the three clustered together to his right were her triplets. As Naruto turned his eyes towards the last figure in the room his eyes drew into a glare.

"What the hell do you want…you are definitely the last thing I want to see in the morning?" The figure growled at him.

"Do you honestly think I would allow my daughter in the same room with you by herself? She may not know what you are fox but you can't fool me I know exactly what you are!" Naruto's eyes turned frigid as those words left her mouth.

"Lets get one thing strait you don't know shit about me got it. And as of right now the only reason you are even alive right now is because of me so I suggest you shut the fuck up, take your daughter, and get the hell out of the room." Tsume growled.

"What do you mean the only reason I'm alive I could have beaten Zabuza?" Naruto chuckled.

"You are such a stupid bitch…did you really think I wouldn't recognize you? Did you really think the Hokage didn't know that you were the one who attacked me? By law you were to be given a public execution and your clan shamed…" Tsume snorted.

"The Hokage wouldn't risk loosing an entire clan just because I attacked you brat." Naruto chuckled.

"He would when you took the eye of his surrogate grandson and you seem to forget something you stupid bitch…your clan is easily replaceable…isn't that right Enmaku?" The red and white fox fazed into the room and smirked.

"That is correct sir." Tsumes eyes widened at those words.

"So tell me you stupid bitch do you really think that the hokage wouldn't risk loosing your clan when he can replace it with one that has my powers?" Tsume growled.

"Unlike you brat my clan actually has a bloodline limit and we use our ninkin to coincide with that limit so tell me brat what can your children offer that mine can't?" Naruto smirked and tapped at his forehead protector. Tsumes eyes widened.

"It seems you've figured it out…that's right because of the way it came about my eye is now a bloodline limit." Naruto glared at the feral women again.

"So remember that next time you think you know me bitch…because you know nothing." With that Naruto flipped out of bed waking up Hana in the process.

"Kemuri-san you're finally awake what happened? What did you do to Zabuza? Why did you start screaming? Your eye was bleeding you didn't give up more of your life did you? Are you still hurting? I'm rambling aren't I?" Naruto chuckled.

"Okay in order; I beat Zabuza with a different power from my eye, I started to scream and my eye bled because of the consequence of the power, no I didn't have to give up any more of my life, and yes you are." Hana blushed slightly and couldn't help but feel happy on the inside. 'He's actually answering my questions…maybe he's starting to come around.'

"What were the consequences and what does the power do?" Naruto chuckled and rolled his eyes.

"In reverse order this time. The power is that I can bring forth a certain emotion that others have felt for you and make you feel it. However in return I have to pull those same feelings from inside myself." Hana was confused.

"What can drawing another persons emotions do to you?" Naruto chuckled.

"Imagine if you will that you felt the loss of the family of every person you've ever killed, you've felt their hatred directed towards you, and finally you felt their sadness. Could you handle that emotional pressure of thousands of people feeling those things and it all running through you? No of course you couldn't the mind and body wasn't built for that…so to handle the pressure your body goes into shock until your mind can sort them out." Hana gasped as she realized what exactly that meant.

"That…that means…" Naruto opened the door and chuckled.

"Yep I felt it all…the sadness…the rage…the loss…it was all there and directed at me…I'm hungry…I'll be back later." Hana watched as the blond haired assassin left the room. Hana turned to her mother and glared.

"Mom tell me why did Kemuri-san tell me to ask you about the other questions?" Tsume glared at her daughter's question.

"It's nothing you have to worry about pup." Hana growled at her mother.

"Bull shit it doesn't. When someone possesses that much power and hates our clan I have every right to know!" Hana yelled making Her mother glare at her.

"Now isn't the time nor place to talk about this pup. Ask me again when we get home and I might tell you." Tsume responded and walked out of the room leaving her daughter there to steam in anger.

Naruto walked down the stairs of the hotel turned house and stared at the weirdest sight he's ever seen. There sitting in front of him was Inuzuka Kiba trying to strike up a conversation with Zabuza's apprentice. Letting out a sigh Naruto walked up behind the feral boy and smacked him in the back of the head.

"While I do agree we should interrogate the prisoners. I think letting someone who's qualified do it would be the best course of action dog shit." Naruto said in a condescending tone. Kiba glared at the smoke user and growled out.

"Are you saying I'm not qualified Kemuri?" Naruto rolled his eyes the dog boy's question.

"No Kiba I think drooling on the floor and humping the poor girls leg is a completely reasonable way to get information. Now leave unless you want to see someone getting tortured." Kiba's eyes widened at those words.

"You're going to torture her?" Kiba's scream brought everyone running to the room. Naruto glared at the feral boy and ignored everyone who just walked in.

"You really don't get it do you, you domesticated little pup? This is the life of a ninja. It's kill or be killed. This isn't like back in that pathetic excuse for an academy where clans and titles rule. This is the real world Kiba. So if you are just going to get in my way then leave the fucking room and bring everyone who can't stand to watch with you." Naruto yelled and then turned his back on everyone. Everyone in the room let out a small gasp as they saw Kiba jump at the back of the blond haired smoke user, kunai in hand. Tsume's jaw clenched when she saw Naruto spin and plant her son face first into the ground with his arm in a wristlock, his own kunai to his throat.

"Go figure. You're just like the rest of your family Kiba. This will be the second time your family has done something that pisses me off enough to get you all banished or killed, but you're lucky I'm not vengeful." Naruto said and let Kiba up taking the Kunai from his grasp as he did so. Throwing the Kunai handle first to Tsume Naruto said.

"This will be the second time I've let this pass Inuzuka-sama, don't make it a third." With that Naruto walked away from the group again and stood in front of the two ex-kiri nin.

"Well now Zabuza I must say while this isn't as amusing as loosing your pants and eyebrows this is much more productive I think." Naruto said making Zabuza growl.

"I ain't talkin' you Kakashi wanna be!" The only response Zabuza got was a fist to the side of the face and a blade pressed into his neck.

"You ever bring that man up again I'll make sure you wished I was torturing you do I make myself clear you worthless piece of shit!" Naruto growled causing Zabuza to laugh.

"Oh got a soft spot there Phantom. What is the matter Daddy taken away your favorite toy?" Naruto glare dropped into a sinister smirk at Zabuza's words.

"Oh no Zabuza you see while I don't have a father I always did wonder? How much a parent could take before of their child being tortured before they themselves crack." Zabuza glared at the blond haired boys words.

___Warning After this Naruto seems Very Dark and Evil Proceed to Next warning if you don't wish to read this part___

"What are you talking about to worthless piece of shit. I don't have any kids." Those words made Naruto smile. Naruto walked over to the young girl that was tied to the chair about ten feet away. Naruto slowly ran his finger down and across the curve of her jaw. Slowly walking behind the girl Naruto grabbed her hair and pulled her head back. Slowly running his fingers through her hair Naruto smiled at Zabuza.

"Oh so you're telling me that this little beauty isn't your daughter? Then what is she exactly Zabu-chan?" Naruto asked still running his fingers through the girl's hair making the girl cringe and Zabuza grit his teeth.

"Haku is nothing but a tool." Naruto practically purred at this.

"Oh so this gorgeous womans name is Haku? Hmm pretty name for a pretty girl. A Tool you say? So tell me Zabuza would you mind if I barrowed this pretty little tool of yours? I'll return her after I'm done…using her." Naruto said slowly running his fingers over her lips avoiding when she tried to bite him causing him to chuckle.

"Hmm feisty I'll be sure to break you of that. So Zabuza can I barrow this tool for a bit?" Naruto asked his intentions perfectly clear in his voice.

"You bastard! Get your hands off of Haku or I'll tear you a new asshole!" Zabuza growled, anger showing clearly on his face. Naruto smirked.

"Oh getting angry Zabu-chan? But why? I thought she was only a tool? Could it be that I was lied to? You know Zabuza I don't like being lied to." At his last word Naruto pulled a paper tag out of his vest and slapped it against the back of Haku's neck. Causing the girl to scream. Zabuza's eye widened.

"What the fuck are you doing to her?!" Naruto smiled at the demons words.

"I told you Zabuza I don't like being lied to. Now instead of me using Haku-chan to fulfill my desires, no now she's living what it would be like to be gang raped by an entire village. All well not like it matters she's just a tool." Naruto said it so nonchalantly that it would seem as if it were an everyday occurrences. Zabuza glared angrily at the blond haired boy.

"Take that tag off her now! I'll fucking kill you!" Naruto chuckled and pulled up a chair in front of Zabuza. Flipping it backwards and sliding into the chair Naruto gave an eye smile.

"Now then Zabuza how about me and you make a deal huh? You see I'm a pretty nice guy when I get the truth. How about this you tell me where Gatou is hiding and I'll pull that tag off of little Haku-chan and then I'll drop you off any where you want and we'll continue on our merry little way." Naruto said all the while holding his eye smile.

"Or how about when I get out of these bindings I rip your head off and keep it as a souvenir of our time together. How about that Phantom!" Zabuza yelled and spat in the floor at Naruto's feet. Naruto sighed.

"You know I really didn't want to do this but…" Naruto reached into his vest and pulled out another tag. "…tell me Zabuza do you want to know what this tag does?" Seeing Zabuza never drop his glare Naruto chuckled.

"Of course you do. You see Zabu-chan that tag that is on your apprentice is a two-part tag. The first part is, as you can see, that she lives through an entire village raping her. The second part however is this tag. This tag makes everything she's feeling right now a reality to her. Her body will bleed as the ghosts of an entire village ravage her tight little holes. All you have to do to avoid this Zabuza is tell me where Gatou is…no? All well." Naruto stood from his seat and walked over to Haku. Pulling her hair to the side Naruto was about to apply the seal on top of the first when he heard.

"STOP! I'll talk damn it! That little shit ain't paying me for this! I'll talk just take that damn tag off of her!" Naruto smiled at those words.

"First tell me Zabuza. Where is Gatou?" Naruto asked.

"The little shits on the far side of the island. He has about twenty mercenaries with him at all times. That's all I know now take that damn tag off!" Naruto smiled and ripped the tag off of the girl's neck. Haku looked around and when she spotted Zabuza her eyes widened.

___Okay it's done for all you sissy's who skipped it____

"Master Zabuza you're alive! Thank god! But how I saw them kill you? It was horrible they tortured you and no matter what I told them they wouldn't stop! Thank god you're okay!" Zabuza's and everyone else in the room's eyes widened.

"You tricked me…you bastard…" Zabuza whispered. Naruto cocked his head and looked at Zabuza.

"Zabuza I'm a ninja, a trained killer. I lie, cheat, steal, and kill for the profit of my village so I'm not going to pretend I'm a good guy and that I'm doing the right thing, but I'm not a monster. I detest rape more then anything in this world. I know you better then you might think so if I find out that you were truthful then I'll make you an offer that I think you'll like, however should I find out you lied then there are localized explosive tags on the backs of your necks…well nuff said." With that Naruto walked away from the demon and his apprentice. Once Naruto was out of the room he leaned against and slid down the wall crossing his arms over his legs and placed his head in between his legs. 'Damn it…damn it my first mission with my team and I have to torture someone…shit I'm so screwed when I get back…I hate doing that…' Someone placing a bottle of water down next to him cut Naruto's mental rant short. Looking up Naruto saw Shino leaning against the wall beside him.

"Well that was interesting. So what are you going to do with that information and how did you know that Gatou was behind it?" Shino asked in his typically calm voice making Naruto chuckle.

"Yeah really wish I didn't have to do that. And about the information well guess I'm going to go and kill Gatou, maybe try and get his back account numbers for this village and it's people." Shino raised an eyebrow at the blond's words.

"Okay so when do we leave?" Naruto leaned his head back against the wall and sighed.

"There is no we Shino. I'm leaving to take care of this little problem in the morning, but you and the others are staying here." Naruto said making Shino's eyebrows shoot into his hairline.

"Oh? I get the others seeing as they seem to wish you were dead, but I thought we were going to be teammates Kemuri-san?" Naruto chuckled at Shino's question.

"You're right we are Shino however there are two reasons I can't allow you to go with me tomorrow. One is because your insects haven't procreated enough for your jutsu to be useful with me, and two is because of something I was asked to do while we were still in the village." His words made Shino give a curious look to the blond haired boy.

"What were asked to do Kemuri-san?" Shino asked making Naruto smile.

"You see on my away from the Hokage tower…"

___Flash Back___

Naruto just walked away from the tower and was on his way to his apartment through an ally way when a presence stopped him. Crouching low in an attack position Naruto looked around.

"I know you are there so come out. I don't have time to play this game." Naruto said drawing a light chuckle and feminine voice from the shadows.

"You are as good if not better then my husband described Uzumaki-kun." Naruto whorled around only to be greeted with a white high collared trench coat and a pair of sunglasses giving a sigh Naruto stood and relaxed.

"It's Kemuri actually Aburame-sama." Naruto said drawing a light chuckle from the longhaired Aburame.

"Of course it is Naruto-kun my apologies." Replied the usually silent woman.

"Aburame-sama not to rush but I have a mission, so why is it that you stopped me?" Naruto asked making the girl smile under her collar.

"Actually that mission is what I have come to talk to you about." Her words made Naruto raise an eyebrow.

"Ma'am if this is about being around your son then…" The woman cut the young man off with a simple snort.

"Don't assume I'm like those foolish villagers boy I have no qualms about you being near my son. No the reason I need to talk to you is the exact opposite. My husband talks a great deal about you, and to get an Aburame to talk a great deal period is a big deal. I know of your name outside these walls my boy even if others don't…" Naruto snorted cutting her off.

"I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you mean Abura…"

"Kemuri no Gen'eigan? Do you really take me for a fool boy?" The woman cut him off drawing a glare from the boy.

"Okay then Aburame-sama what is it that you want?" The woman smiled slightly at the young mans paranoia.

"Nothing much. I just want you to promise me something. I know that out there you will face bandits and maybe a low level shinobi so promise me that you'll make sure my little Shino makes it home okay." The woman asked while looking Naruto in the eye. Naruto sighed and turned his back on the woman.

"I promise…"

___Flashback end___

"…I then left. So as you can see Shino I can't allow you to come with me." Shino blushed slightly at the story.

"I really wish my mother wouldn't embarrass me like that." That made Naruto laugh and pat Shino on the shoulder.

"Shino man, don't say stuff like that. Hell I'd kill for a mother that would embarrass me. Hell all mine wants to do is…" Naruto's single eye widened as those words left his mouth. Shino looked at his blond haired teammate and filed that small bit of info away for later. Pushing himself off the wall Naruto walked up to steps towards his room. As Naruto was about to enter his room a gruff female voice stopped him.

"So you plan to go and attack Gatou's place alone do you? What to good for the rest of us just because you have a title amongst the weaker populous?" Naruto sighed and turned his head towards the voice.

"No Inuzuka-sama but I feel it would be for the best if I were to do this on my own." Tsume glared at the boys words.

"Oh and why is that brat?" Tsume growled making Naruto sigh.

"Fine if you want to know come in and we'll talk." With that Naruto opened the door to his room and walked inside. As Naruto reached the other side of the room and leaned against the wall, Tsume noticed that the boy was standing right next to the window making sure he wasn't trapped.

"Okay then brat go on ahead and tell me why wouldn't a Jounin be better for this job?" Tsume said sarcasm clearly showing in her voice. Naruto glared at the feral woman.

"You're right a Jounin would be better, how ever because of the way you attack you would also need Hana-san there because your attacks aren't meant to attack a lot of people. My attacks are meant to take out a lot of people and cause a panic. The second reason is because while you are a Jounin you aren't certified to torture someone, and if I am to get Gatou's bank accounts for this country then I'll need to torture him. You could make all of us go but that would be bad because we would leave Zabuza and Haku unguarded. You could send the Gennin only to take care of it, but lets be honest I know you'll take offence to this but Kiba isn't any where ready to take a life and Shino is still defenseless while I use my jutsu, so that ideas out…" Naruto got cut off by Tsume saying.

"…or you and I could go. Letting Hana guard Zabuza and Haku and leaves the other two gennin out of the way." Naruto glared at the smirk on Tsume's face.

"Yes because I trust you oh so much. However since you pull rank on me I really don't get a choice in the matter do I?" Naruto said making Tsume shake her head. Naruto sighed.

"So be it. Fine I'm leaving in the morning if you are coming with me then be out front at dawn if you aren't then I'm leaving without you." Tsume glared at the boys response but complied. Giving the boy another look Tsume asked.

"Hey brat how did you know that Zabuza would react like that?" The question made Naruto raise an eyebrow.

"Does it matter? I got the info." Naruto responded making Tsume growl.

"This isn't funny brat. You just played the demon of the bloody mist like he was a fucking fiddle. How did you know how to do that?" Naruto sighed and turned to look out the window.

"Like I said Inuzuka-sama this isn't my first time out of the village. It just so happens this also isn't the first time I've had a run in with Zabuza." Naruto said making Tsume raise an eyebrow.

"You mean you ran into Zabuza before? What the hell happened?" Naruto chuckled at the feral woman's questioning.

"It was when I was still in training…"

___FlashBack___

Naruto crouched hidden in the under brush watching as Hayate fought with the bandaged man. Just as Hayate started pushing Zabuza back Naruto heard a voice from behind him.

"Sir there is another presence here." Naruto turned towards the voice to see a red and white fox with a smoke like tail sitting behind him. The fox stood about the size of a golden retriever but was still completely silent when moving.

"Where is it located Enmaku?" Naruto asked making the fox grin.

"About fifteen yards to your left. It seems to be a young female. She does have the bandaged mans smell all over her however." Enmaku explained making Naruto's eyes widened.

"Has she been…?" Naruto asked gaining a negative from the fox.

"No Sir, it's seems more of how you smell of the old man or of Hayate-san." Naruto nodded at that response.

"I see. Like a close friend…Enmaku could you flush her out this way?" Enmaku nodded at that and disappeared into the under brush. Naruto waited patiently watching the fight as Enmaku did his part of the job. Naruto cursed as he saw his sickly Sensei get caught in some type of strange water bubble. Naruto smirked however when he saw a black haired little girl try and run passed him. Grabbing her quickly Naruto brought a Kunai to the girls throat.

"You make one sound and I'll end your life now do I make myself clear?" Naruto whispered making the girl nod. Naruto started doing one handed hand signs and said.

"Katon: Habashirin (Fire Release: Jet Flare)" As Naruto said those words a stream of left his mouth and shot towards the bandaged man. Zabuza saw the flames and moved his Kubikiri Houcho in front of him for protection. The last thing he expected however was for the flame to spin around his sword and hit him square in the face. Luckily the fire technique didn't have enough chakra for it to hurt him. However it did have enough to burn the bandages around his face as well as his eyebrows. Ripping the bandages off of his face Zabuza stared at who would attack him only to be surprised to see a small child that was ten years old at max. Standing there with a kunai at Haku's throat.

"Let my sensei go and I'll release the girl. If you don't however I'm going to slit the little bitches throat." Naruto said moving the Kunai closer to the girl. Zabuza smirked at the kid.

"Go for it kid I don't even know the little brat." Zabuza said making Naruto smirk.

"Oh really she smells an awful lot like you for you not to know her, but if you insist on not knowing her then this shouldn't bother you." Naruto responded and drawing a small amount of blood from the girls cheek. Zabuza released a small amount of KI trying to scare the boy only for him to chuckle.

"Oh? Getting angry? But I thought you didn't know the girl?" Naruto said making another slash on the girl's cheek. As he saw the boy draw more blood Zabuza jumped. Breaking the water prison Zabuza rushed at the blond kid. Seeing this Naruto threw Haku at the man and yelled.

"Katon: Endan (Fire Release: Flame Bombs)" Seeing the bombs Zabuza grabbed Haku and curled his body around the girl.

___Flashback End___

"…after I did that jutsu I hid again and allowed Hayate to finish it up. However I did remember that he was willing to protect the girl he was with." Naruto said making Tsume give him a strange look.

"What ever brat. Like you said we leave in the morning." With that Tsume turned and walked out of the room. Lightly chuckling at her words Naruto resumed looking out the window. 'So much for making friends heh Jiji-san?' Naruto thought and then gave a sad chuckle.

___Next morning in front of Tazuna's house___

Naruto sat in the branches of a tree that stood outside of Tazuna's house. Naruto watched the sun as it slowly peeked its way over the mountains on the small island. Naruto was broken out of its reverence by a gruff voice.

"So are we leaving or what?" Naruto turned towards the voice to see Kuromaru and Tsume walking out of the house only wearing the minimum amount of battle gear.

"That depends who is watching the prisoners?" Naruto asked making Tsume glare.

"Hana is why?" Tsume snapped making Naruto smirk.

"Because I wouldn't trust your son not to think with his dick, long enough to actually guard them." Naruto said while jumping out of the tree and landing on the ground beside the oldest Inuzuka. Tsume growled at the boy.

"What was that brat?" Tsume growled making Naruto laugh.

"I said I could decapitate your son and him not loose conscious thought Inuzuka-sama. Now then as much as I would love to sit here and see you loose an argument, but seeing as we are on a schedule I'm afraid that will have to wait." Naruto said and jumped into the tree line again on his way to Gatou's place. It took twenty minutes of running before the duo reached the other side of the island, and another ten minutes to find where Gatou's hideout was. When Naruto saw the hide out he couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that Gatou has increased his amount of mercenaries since Zabuza's disappearance. Well then we can do this two ways. One is that I could cover the entire hide out with smoke and take them out while they can't see, or the second and dumber option would be for us to charge in there like morons and just slaughter them." Naruto said making Tsume smirk and jump into the clearing housing the 'hideout'. Naruto sighed at the feral woman's actions.

"Option two it is." Naruto said and jumped into the fray. Naruto summoned his blades to him and jumped into the middle of bandits. With deadly precision Naruto spun and hit critical points on each of the mercenaries. Looking over towards Tsume, Naruto sighed as he saw the smile on the woman's face. Shaking his head Naruto started hand seals.

"We don't have time for this shit. Hijutsu: Kyuhitsu no Ryu (Secret Technique: Nine Headed Dragon)" Naruto said. Tsume smiled as she kicked off of another Mercenary. As she turned to attack another she gasped as she saw a sword coming towards her to fast to dodge. 'And Kuromaru's busy. Shit this is going to hurt.' Just as she thought that a black streak seemed to shoot in front of her and take out the man with the sword. Turning towards the source Tsume's eyes widened when she saw Naruto doing some strange type of dance while nine dragons made of pure smoke flew around taking out all the mercenaries that surrounded the estate. Once Naruto felt that there wasn't a threat any more Naruto spun and brought his hands together pointing towards the wall of the estate. Tsume watched as all the dragons changed directions and all headed towards the wall that Naruto pointed towards. Tsume was even more surprised to see the hole that the dragons left behind and the fire the flared up behind them.

"Inuzuka we don't have time to play around if we want this thing to go smoothly and escape before the fire reaches Gatou. Let's go. NOW!" Naruto said and ran into the hole he created Tsume hot on his heels. Naruto and Tsume fought their way through the mansion taking out all of the mercenaries that they came across. Seeing as Zabuza didn't know where Gatou was actually located they had to throw open every door they had come across. As Naruto threw open the next door all motion seemed to stop. In side the room were about twenty women. Their cloths ripped and faces messy. Naruto took a small sniff and growled.

"Inuzuka-sama get those women and get out of here now." Naruto growled out in a voice that would make the Shinigami piss himself. Tsume looked at the boy in confusion.

"What are you talking about we haven't found Gatou yet. I just can't leave." Naruto glared at the women when she said that.

"Trust me Inuzuka-sama you do not want to see what I am about to do to every mercenary in this fucking place. Get these women out of here and then wait for me out there." Tsume gave him another confused look but decided to trust the boy just this once.

"Fine but you'd better be able to deliver brat. Come on Kuromaru." Tsume freed the women and busted a hole in the wall with her Gatsuga. As she loaded the last woman onto the back of Kuromaru she turned towards Naruto to see him lifting his headband.

"You're using another technique that your eye possesses aren't you? Am I going to have to carry you back to the clients?" Naruto cocked his head showing Tsume his blue chakra eye that was slowly starting to turn red one swirl at a time.

"No just don't stand in my way and expect a lot of blood. Now get out of here so that I can activate it." Tsume glared when she saw the red chakra in his eye but complied and left to guard the women. As Naruto saw Tsume leave he turned forward to see a lot of the mercenaries gather to stop them. Naruto smiled evilly at the small army.

"Good you are here. Just makes killing you easier." At his final word Naruto's usually blue chakra eye turned solid red. As the eye started to change Naruto's hair grew wilder and grew claws on his hands. Unnoticed by everyone dew to his mask his whisker marks grew deeper and his canines grew longer and sharper.

"You have helped oppress an entire country, you have broken the hearts and wills of those people in this country, but most unforgivable of all you have taken the innocence of those women. You think you have power in numbers. You think I'm trapped in here with you. But the truth is you are trapped in here with me and no one can escape the phantom." As Naruto finished his speech the final blue swirl in his eye changed red and he charged into the crowed. Blood and carnage flew everywhere as Naruto tore limbs from their owners' bodies. The sight was a massacre the bodies of the mercenaries riddled the halls of the estate as Naruto tore through the halls in search of anything more to kill. Naruto tore through the mansion all life was destroyed in his wake. When Naruto tore into Gatou's office his eye finally returned to being blue. Lowering his headband Naruto glared at the fat man cowering behind his desk. Naruto walked over and pulled the fat man out by his throat and slammed him on top of his desk.

"Now them you fat sack of shit. You and I are going to have a talk…"

___Outside with Tsume___

Tsume was on edge. It had been thirty minutes and everything was quiet.

"Damn it I may not like the bastard but Sarutobi will fucking kill me if I come back without him." Tsume said while pacing back and forth.

"I'll keep that in mind Inuzuka-sama." Tsume whipped around towards the voice to see a blood covered Naruto with a scroll in his hands. Tsume glared at the blond haired boy.

"You look like shit brat. What happened." Tsume said making Naruto glare at her.

"Not mine, and I've got everything the little shit owned including his head." Naruto said and then turned towards the girls that they found in Gatou's estate.

"Tell me are you all civilians of this country?" Seeing the Girls nod Naruto sighed.

"I'm so glad I showed no mercy on that bastard. Okay ladies we're going to a village on the other side of the island so while we are traveling if you know the way back to your home and family then Inuzuka-sama will send a clone to escort you back to them." The girls nodded but one asked.

"Will…will you be sending a clone to escort us to?" Naruto looked towards the girl and responded.

"I would but I don't think you all would feel comfortable around men yet so I was actually going to travel a little ahead of you all so as to avoid trouble." Seeing the Women nod at that Naruto turned towards Tsume and said.

"Like I said I'll travel ahead of you all to avoid trouble. I'll see you back at the Clients house Inuzuka-sama." It took the duo four times as long to get back to Tazuna's house. As they approached the house Tsume couldn't help but sigh and palm her face as a yell of 'Get the hell away from the prisoner Kiba!' reached her ears. Naruto chuckled as he heard the yell.

"As I said Inuzuka-sama I could decapitate your son and he wouldn't loose conscious thought." Naruto ducked the kunai the feral woman threw at him and chuckled. Walking inside Naruto almost fell down laughing. There in the living room were Hana and Kiba head to head growling at each other, Shino stood off to the side leaning against a wall, Zabuza was in a corner trying to what looked to be hiding, and Haku was giggling at the entire situation. Tazuna and his family were smart enough to avoid this situation.

"Tazuna get your old drunk ass in here!" Naruto yelled into the house only to receive a small smack to the back of the head. Tazuna and his family came running into the living room only to be greeted with the sight of a bloody Naruto getting glared at by Tsume. Inari looked at all the blood covering Naruto and yelled.

"See there is no beating Gatou you all should quit before you all die." Naruto walked up and smacked the boy in the head causing him to face plant into the ground.

"Wrong again brat. Gatou's dead. I have his head if you want to see it?" Naruto said making Inari go wide eyed and yelled.

"No…no your lying!" Naruto looked at the small boy and unrolled the scroll that was in his hand. Pushing some chakra into the first seal Naruto watched as all of the civilians turned green at the sight of Gatou's decapitated head. Naruto chuckled and put Gatou's head back into the scroll.

"As I said Gatou's dead. Tazuna-san I put ninety percent of Gatou's fortune in one bank account. This back account is now this countries treasury I'm leaving you in charge of it. Should I find out that you mistreat this privilege then I'll be back to take your head do I make myself clear?" Tazuna nodded his head at Naruto's threat and hugged the slip of paper that held the account number on it. Turning towards Zabuza Naruto eye smiled.

"Well Zabuza looks like you weren't lying and you get to keep your head. Now then for the deal I'd like to make." Naruto drug the same chair as before in front of Zabuza and held up the scroll he had been holding.

"In this scroll Zabuza is five percent of Gatou's fortune as well as his head. This is yours as long as you and your apprentice leave my team and I alone. Now this is yours regardless of what you say to my next offer." Zabuza listened to what Naruto said and signaled the boy to continue.

"Zabuza as much as you hate admitting it you have come to feel for Haku as a daughter. That being said I would like to offer you something that neither you nor her has ever really had…a home. I'm offering you a place in Konoha. You will be placed under two months of house arrest and then a three-month probation period and Haku will not have any of these problems due to not have any official ninja training. Remember Zabuza the five percent is yours whether you agree or not so give some thought…" Once he was done Naruto stood up and turned away from Zabuza.

"Hey Phantom…can you really get us into the leaf?" Naruto cocked his head back and looked at Zabuza.

"Yeah no questions asked." Zabuza smiled at that.

"Then sign us up brat." Naruto smirked under his mask.

"Good to have you demon."

A.N. Yes well here is the revision of chapter 3...all of it.
