Chapter 4 Wave II
I will strive
Disclaimer: Read the previous chapter for disclaimer
Summary Mizuki attempts to get the scroll early the result of Naruto's involvements could never have been imagined. Nor could they have imagined what Naruto would find inside that scroll. Now Naruto's life as a genin has begun, but how has he changed over the last six years.
Helltanz's note's: The bloodline Naruto inherited from his mother's side is in canon, and I've already decided that one but his father's Kekai Genkai some suggested one that will work quite nicely, however I am still open to suggestions.
Also their will be quite a lot of Sakura Taisen in this story especially after Naruto II. You will also get to witness Naruto's Bloodline or part of it in the last part of this arc. Also if you don't know Ansatsu means Assassination in Japanese. Naruto does use taijutsu, however he primarily uses Kenjutsu or Ninjutsu when he fights. I also modified certain peoples ages
Here's Chapter 4.

Kakashi wakes up to a woman replacing his bandages. "Oh my your awake." Naruto appears seemingly out of the shadow of the wall.
The Assassin hardly seemed pleased by the situation at hand. "Reinforcements have arrived, a jonin and four genin."
Kakashi's eyes widen. "Hokage-sama sent them." Recognizing what was supposedly the next generation of prodigies, at least as far as the council of Konoha was concerned.
The door opened "That's right!" came a shout from the doorway
"Hello Kakashi." Another Jonin from the village hidden in the leaves greeted the silver haired bed ridden shinobi.
"Ebisu." Kakashi replied in his typical lazy fashion to the other ninja.
"These are my student." States Ebisu indicating the four genin in front of him.
"I am Hyuga Hanabi-"
The other three shinobi step forward. "We are the Uzumaki Corp."
Kakashi looks over to see Naruto rubbing his face, probably from irritation at the name or embarrassment, while Hanabi looks irritated for being cut off.
"I am Sarutobi Konohamaru," Announced the young grandson of the Hokage.
"I am Yugato Moegi,"
The second boy of the group stepped up "I am Ichiro Udon,"
"We are the fearsome Uzumaki Corp trained by the legendary Uzumaki Naruto." Udon makes a hand seal that creates a genjutsu that makes a spotlight appear to be shining on Naruto."
Naruto suddenly begins fusing back in to the wall. "A warning don't use any techniques unless you want them stolen." Naruto glares at Kakashi and then Sasuke, even though he is aware that he hasn't activated his sharingan yet.
Kakashi sighed, the council of Konoha was impressed by the progress that the team had made hailing them as prodigies because of their ages. Even though each of them were older than the Kakashi had been when he had become genin, and each of them hadn't yet been permitted to take the chunin exams the child soldiers were rumored to be extremely skilled in battle.
Naruto frowned from the shadows, as far as things went the team dispatched was one he was against. Oh yes he had had a hand training them, and yes the four of them, yes the four preteens had potential.
Konohamaru would one day be a dangerous shinobi of Fire Country, as an adult he would be a powerful member of the Sarutobi clan. Hyuga Hanabi had the potential to be a powerful member of the Hyuga clan, a clan with a powerful bloodline limit.
Time would tell what Udon and Moegi would go on to accomplish but they were already on the path to become powerful leaf village shinobi.
Such was a path that was necessary. Naruto was not of the Village hidden in the leaves, but he did have obligations to the land of Fire, and there were other important reasons to insure that the village, and by proxy the land of Fire prospered.
If the next generation of powerful shinobi just happened to be loyal to him, well that was just an added benefit after all political power and influence was still power. Time would pass, days would become weeks, and then months, and years, throughout this young shinobi would grow and get stronger.
The team which had been dispatched had potential yes, but their deployment spoke of a favoritism not found in his own village. Konoha's council's goals could not be any less clear than they were, they desired to pamper the Uchiha, but really to send a Hyuga and the Grandson of the third Hokage how very foolish.
His own village was young, merely a few years old, but its power was growing because of the power that Naruto had at his disposal. It wasn't like other Shinobi villages more arranged like the structure of the Samurai as far as political organization went, and perhaps that was what was needed.
Assassination, that was something he could do it was something he was beyond simply good at. Naruto, no it didn't matter what name he was given, he was the Wrath of Heaven a slayer of men, assassination was a skill he had refined to the point of an art, and then taken it even further.
To destroy the council of Konoha and bolster the power of the Hokage, arranging such a task was by no means difficult, not easy, but not difficult. Civilians had no place in governing the actions of warriors, ascetics could fight, samurai could fight, ninja could fight.
Warriors must govern warriors this was a fact that Naruto held to be sacrosanct, a truth that was quite clear. Each Nation, no matter how small, was ruled by a feudal lord, a daimyo who in turn ruled over lesser lords who administrated smaller regions. This was how the world was governed, and while there were flaws with hereditary rule, someone who did not understand war was unsuited to rule a land that was always in conflict.
Yes, if he removed the civilians from the equation, then perhaps he could persuade the Daimyo of Fire to support him to convince the Hokage to allow ninjas to be appointed to those positions in their stead, that would make Konoha stronger.

With Zabuza
-
The masked Shinobi reaches to remove the devil of the blood mist's bandages. Zabuza grabs the extended arm before removing the bandages himself, revealing his mouth to be filled with shark like teeth, he then proceeds to roughly yank the needles from his neck.
"If
you do that you really may die." She remarked,
"I swear you're
a butcher Haku," growls Zabuza rubbing his neck. "Next time will
be different I have figured a way of defeating the sharingan, however
Satanii will be a much larger threat optimally we can kill the old
man while he's away from Grey Satan." The big man grunted, "That
should minimize any danger since as I said have devised a plan to
defeat the threat of the sharingan."

Meanwhile in the forest
-
"Kakashi-sensei what's the Sharingan?" asked Sakura.
Naruto looks up from his book for the barest of moments a darker than usual expression crossed his features, though only for the barest of moments.
Of the surviving Uchiha only Itachi was one who was truly and gladly welcomed within his territory. All the others of Uchiha blood were likely to receive a lukewarm at best reception.
Sasuke opened his mouth to explain the genetic trait of which had made the Uchiha bloodline so famous and powerful.
"The Sharingan is a doujustsu class Kekai Genkai or in laymen's terms a pupil technique advanced bloodline inheritance trait." The blonde boomed silencing the others, "Such allow the clans who inherit them to claim inherent superiority over non-bloodline trait wielding clans, this is however incorrect the sharingan and most other advanced bloodline inheritance limited traits are in fact a weakness because the clan is inherently predisposed to use the traits they possess. Kekai Genkai like the sharingan are nothing more then crutches that inferior shinobi rely on to win all their battles for them. The sharingan is in fact the reason's for the Uchiha's rightful extermination, in a two fold form," Naruto pauses. "This is the fact that as I stated the presence of a Kekai Genkai within a clan leads to the inherent belief of superiority of clan and reliance on the Kekai Genkai. These two are the reasons for Uchiha clans termination."
"What the hell would you dobe you don't even have a clan!" Sasuke lunged at Naruto throwing a wild punch, which went way off to the side.
'He is no better than the other Uchiha, Itachi should have executed him as well that night.' Naruto sneered, "Of the three Kekai Genkai I possess I can count on my fingers the number of times I have wielded them in a state that requires conscious distribution of chakra. A Kekai Genkai should be a shinobi's trump card or used only in extreme situations. If you use it constantly and neglect your other capabilities you are bound to be defeated." Naruto stated easily evading Sasuke's lunges and resumes reading the book he was holding.
"Maa, Maa," Kakashi interjected, "that's enough boys we are here to train not tear each other throats' out." He chastised, "Today we will be learning how to climb trees."
Sakura looked like she wanted to say something to Naruto, but though better of it, "Sensei we already learned how to climb trees." She announced.
Kakashi walks up the tree. "Ah but Sakura you will be doing it without hands."
Hanabi snorts. "I can already do that."
"Hanabi-chan is right all of us can Naruto-shishou taught us." Announces Konohamaru, of course he would have been expected to be able to do it as he was from not only a powerful clan but the grandson of the legendary professor.
The young Hyuga glared at Konohamaru for upstaging her, yet again, and of course the way he constantly referred to her as Hanabi-chan.
Naruto didn't frown, still if the two were to work together to make Konoha strong they would really need to get along better, unfortunately that was not something he could address himself.
Kakashi explained the principle of the exercise to Sakura and Sasuke with everyone else listening in with various degrees of attention paid to the lecture.
Sakura managed to make it up all the way up to the first branch of the tall tree. Sasuke only was able to make it several meters up the tree before falling down.
"OK Naruto go show them." Ebisu encouraged to the assassin.
Sasuke perked up, "Yeah dobe." He challenged the blonde,
Naruto reluctantly closes his book.
"Naruto what are you reading?" asks Sakura
Naruto held up the worn copy of the book. "Sun Tzu the Art of War."
The rest of team seven face faulted after reading the book's title. 'Of course he would read that.'
Naruto walks all the way up and then back down. An eagle flies down to Naruto a scroll tied to its leg.
Kakashi's eyes narrowed, perhaps because of the letter perhaps not.
The Jonin was not the only one with a reaction, Naruto frowned to himself, direct messages to him were not usually a good sign.
Still Naruto was not some green genin, he understood the obligations of politics and the obligations of his various titles and status. He had carved a bloody and imposing reputation out in the years since he had left Konoha for the first time, and he had obligations, which he was required to attend to.
Sasuke may have been raised as a member of the Uchiha clan, a clan with great and powerful political and military influence, but he was really nothing more than a spoiled child. He was a child in regards to responsibility, he failed to understand the responsibility of his bloodline.
Naruto would admit that he too had once also been like that, blissfully ignorant of his obligations of his inheritance. For all his statements that the Sharingan was a crutch for weaklings, it was also a powerful tool for Shinobi, but it as Naruto realized so very early on it had its disadvantages.
The largest of those disadvantages was that there were string attached, when people learned you had a bloodline things changed, and there were people with political power who would seek to use the Kekkai Genkai.
In time Sasuke would learn, but that would be in time for now the boy was just that, despite being on the road to being a shinobi he was nothing more than a child hiding behind his family name to get what he wanted.
Still there were a number of people already taking an interest in Sasuke, because he was after all the 'last Uchiha in Konoha'. That was part of the reason Naruto was partnered with team seven in the first place Sasuke had the potential to be a powerful asset for the village hidden in the leaves.
He had the potential to be an asset for the village, and for the whole of the Fire Nation, an asset which both could need when the time came, and the next war broke out.
