Well here's chapter 4 and its nearly twice as long as the last few chapters. Read and Review plz.

"Well that was one of my stranger interactions" said Nanashi and then turned to look at Naruto "Hey, I never did catch your name" an odd look overcame Naruto as he thought on the answer.

"My name is Naruto Namikaze" Naruto said his last name grudgingly. And who could blame him! That name has caused him nothing but trouble him being viewed as powerless by the whole village making it worse by him being related to the strongest ninja of the village and seeing him a as a blemish to their (in their eyes) demi-god.

"Ain't that the last name of some big shot ninja?" asked Nanashi looking at Naruto with a deadpanned expression.

"Yeah my fa-…. the fourth Hokage" replied Naruto avoiding use of the word father.

"That guy sounds like an asshole" stated Nanashi bluntly guessing why it was avoided.

"He kind of was…" said Naruto with a small frown, silence reigned over the two for a little while.

"…."

"…."

"Alright if we are going to be traveling together we are going to call ourselves something, like a team name." Nanashi said out of the blue.

"Wait…wait…wait who said that we would travel together" asked Naruto a little taken aback at this sudden declaration.

"Didn't you listen to that glowing lady few minutes ago? We are the last of our kind so we should stick together cover each other's asses while we wander the world doing whatever the hell we want!" said Nanashi pumping a fist in the air. "Besides what else were you going to do?"

Naruto thought about it and realized he didn't have a plan "Alright I see your point."

"Alright!" said Nanashi "our team needs a name…how about Army of two?"

"Already taken" said Naruto

"Riley's rangers?"

"Who's Riley?"

"The Three Musketeers?"

"Who's the third guy?"

"Black Hand?"

"That's a cult…"

"Team Gurren?"

"That's from an anime!"

"It was a kickass anime!" replied Nanashi Naruto agreed while nodding his head "Alright how about we call ourselves what fate said we were, the Forgotten Warriors!"

"Well I guess I can live with that" said Naruto "heh kind of fits me we should leave in the morn-"

"Come on let's get going!" said Nanashi probably ignoring everything Naruto said "we have the world face and I'm not waiting for it to come to me!" he said this with a cocky grin on his face

"But it's still night out!" protested Naruto

"Like I said, I'm not waiting!" said Nanashi

Naruto chuckled "you're crazy aren't you?"

"Probably!" Said Nanashi still grinning "Now shut up and get moving!"

4 years later

In Konoha life went on as normal for the Namikaze family as they realized their runaway son didn't have that much of an impact in their lives. Though despite Narutos last letter they spoiled Ryu in fear he would leave too, though no proof was found that he was even planning it they spoiled him regardless. Ryu has become arrogant due to this treatment going past the levels of even the Uchiha family. When he entered the academy shortly after Narutos leaving, the teachers also gave him special treatment due to being the hokages son (except for one Iruka Umino). Ryu graduated the academy as rookie of the year doing even more to inflate his oversized ego.

"So you think you're ready for a c-rank mission" said Minato Namikaze the fourth Hokage as he eyed the Gennin team it consisted of his son Ryu Namikaze who had short straight red hair with an identical face to his, Sasuke Uchiha who kept an even face while his hair resembled the shape of a duck butt, Hinata Hyuuga who repeatedly cast glances at Ryu and blushed, this team was being led by none other than Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze who came out of retirement to train her sons team. (A.N. sad isn't it)

"You bet I do! I'm tired of the crappy D-ranks you keep sending me on!" yelled Ryu clearly annoyed "I'm ready to go to the next level!" Minato kept a straight face and turned to his wife.

"What do you think Kushina?" asked Minato "Are they ready?"

Kushina nodded her head "Yes they are all highly skilled and I believe this would be good experience for them." Though she said this Kushina knew that there were people out there that could kill her team in seconds.

"Alright luckily for you I have a C-rank waiting for you" said Minato and turned to the door "you may come in now" on que a man stumbled in he had raggy clothes and a sake bottle in one hand "this is Tazuna, he is a bridge builder from wave he has hired us to help protect him and his bridge while he completes it. This is a simple escort mission but I think it's perfect for your first C-rank do well on this and there will be more C-ranks in the future."

Ryu nodded "Alright, but I was hoping for someone of higher class"

"oh yes and your sisters will be joining you" said Minato much to Ryu's shock "they told me they wanted to be with you on your first C-rank so think of it as a family vacation"

"What I don't want them with me" yelled Ryu "we can do this on our own"

"Ryu please be reasonable." said Kushina trying to calm down her son "they promised not to interfere unless things got too dangerous."

"Fine but I still don't like it" the team and the bridge builder left the room heading for the gates leaving only Kushina and Minato in the room

"Do you think he's still out there?" said Kushina quietly. "Do you think he survived all these years?"

"I hope so dear" said Minato also in a quiet voice "but he literally has no chakra if he met even one enemy shinobi he'd be killed quickly" this brought tears Kushina eyes though she never really paid attention to Naruto she still has her motherly instincts. Minato saw this and quickly corrected himself "but there is always a chance"

"alright I will keep a look out and take care of Naruko while I'm gone" said Kushina getting a hold of herself. As I forgot to mention earlier Kushina and Minato had a another girl after Naruto left her name is Naruko she has blonde hair and for some odd reason born with whisker marks on her cheeks just like Ryu after the sealing. "Goodbye, honey." And with that she left.

Meanwhile in Wave

On a misty bridge a blonde haired blue eyed boy in a black combat jacket and matching cargo pants sneezed. "Geez I hope I'm not catching a cold."

"Maybe someone's talking about you?" said his partner a boy with a green bandana that always covered his brown hair, he had brown eyes and wore a green combat jacket and matching camouflaged cargo pants.

"Nah no one would talk about me" replied the blonde boy. These two are Nanashi and Naruto they have become strong traveling the continent as mercenaries. But due to their young age they weren't taken seriously and work was scarce. This was true until they met the bridge builder with who they are currently employed to guard the bridge while he gets shinobi help. "I'm probably just coming down with something"

"Yeah you're probably right I mean who would care about two Forgotten Warriors traveling the continent searching for jobs" replied Nanashi solemnly but then brightened up. "oh hey, Tazuna's getting back today."

"oh yeah" replied Naruto "you should get him"

"You lazy bastard, why me?" protested Nanashi

"because you're more combat oriented than me" replied Naruto "besides he said he was going to Konoha I don't want some leaf-nin recognizing me and dragging me off"

"Come on! Why would they recognize you" said Nanashi in a carefree manner

"Oh I don't know…" replied Naruto casually but then yelled "Maybe because I look like a carbon copy of the fourth!"

"Alright, alright geez" said Nanashi in a grumpy mood and walked off to where Tazuna was going to land.

Forrest in Wave

"So Tazuna-san why were you okay with just a genin team" asked Yoko walking next to the bridge builder. She is currently ranked chunnin along with her sister and they both wore the standard shinobi gear "I mean you said that there was a great deal of bandits making raids on the bridge" she asked curiously

"Oh, well the truth is I already have a pair of mercenaries guarding the bridge" said Tazuna with a small grin

"Mercenaries?" asked Natsumi walking on the other side of Tazuna

"Yep!" he replied "strange ones to. They're kids no older than you two" a shocked look came across the girls faces "but despite their age they are incredibly good fighters and have beaten back every bandit that has tried to take the bridge, they even beat back a mob of about thirty of them with their bare hands!"

"Are they shinobi?" asked Yoko completely stunned and interested

"No, I don't think so they don't have a village symbol" replied Tazuna "but I'm not complaining they are pretty skilled and work for half what you ninja's charge!" he laughed remembering the antics those two did.

"Can you describe them for us?" asked Natsumi curious to the identities of the two mysterious warriors

"No sorry they asked to have their names and group name hidden from shinobi unless it was for a business opportunity" explained Tazuna "I guess they must of raised hell somewhere" he gazed off wondering about the boys protecting his bridge.

"To the left!" yelled Ryu startling everyone as he threw a kunai into the bush. But when they went to check all they saw was a white rabbit stunned at its near death experience.

"Ahh! Ryu-kun you almost killed that poor rabbit" exclaimed Hinata who quickly went to pick it up and started to cuddle it.

'that's odd' thought Kushina examining the situation 'that rabbit is white it's not common for this kind of season or region then that means….Substitution' "Everyone get down!" she yelled as large sword came after them that resembled a large cleaver the shinobi all ducked while the rabbit jumped away from Hinata, but Tazuna was a bit slow as the blade flew at him he closed his eyes waiting for the pain. But it never came instead he heard a metal grinding against metal. He opened his eyes to find a teenager wearing a green bandana and jacket blocking the sword with a odd blade of his own.

"Geez, Tazuna." said the teen has he swatted the oversized sword away impaling itself in the ground off to the side "I know you hired people to protect you but you at least have to know to duck at times like these."

"Nanashi…" said Tazuna breathlessly recognizing the person who just saved his life

The boy just smirked and turned to a tree branch "alright, no brows!" he yelled pointing to a meancing figure who was standing on the branch "it's a Forgotten Warrior mercenary company policy that if you attempt to hurt our employer, we hurt your everything!"

"Is that an actual rule" asked Tazuna

Nanashi shrugged "is now" he said plainly despite the threatening figure in the trees

"well very impressive you little punk I didn't even sense you coming" said the eye browless man jumping down revealing he was also shirtless and had bandages covering the bottom part of his head. "My name is Zabuza Momochi demon of the bloody mist" he said with slight bow as he retrieved his sword, earning a gasp from the experienced shinobi who were just getting up and recognizing the name. Nanashi however…..

"I don't care if you're of the walking dead mist!" replied Nanashi "You tried to kill my employer and he hasn't paid me yet!" everyone sweat dropped at his explanation

"I can sympathize with that" said Zabuza nonchalantly "can't have your meal ticket dying on you" the fellow hired warriors looked at each other nodded. Everyone watching the conversation thought that this could be solved peacefully only to have that idea thrown out.

"So we gonna start or what?" asked Nanashi eager for the fight

"thought you'd never ask" said Zabuza smirking under his mask. the two charged at each other with their blades colliding.

Nanashi attacked with some quick strikes at his torso which he blocked using his zanbatou (that's what it is right?) as a shield. Zabuza pushed Nanashi back and tried to vertically cleave him in two which he dodged to the side jumped and kneed Zabuza in the face making him stumble "well kid you ain't to bad looks like I'll have to step up my game Water release: Water Dragon Bullet" a large dragon made of water came from the lake.

'Crap jutsu! High powered, destructive jutsu' thought Nanashi 'and Tazuna is right behind me, man I wanted to keep this ability hidden from the ninja world a little while longer!' instead of dodging Nanashi faced it head on putting one of his hands out.

"Are you crazy!" yelled Yoko behind him "Get out of there!" but it was too late as the dragon crashed into him. though to everyones' the jutsu stopped mid sequence and dispelled standing in the impact zone was Nanashi with a cocky smirk on his face.

"Damn." He said with his smirk "I really did not want to have to pull this out especially in front of Ninjas."

I have been looking forward to this chapter since i started thinking about this story. anyways can anyone guess where the team names came from? they are not mine and belong to their owners.
