The Yondaime's Legacy
Chapter 3: To the Wave, Fight for there Life's

The group of shinobi had been walking for close to two hours now with Tazuna in the center since he was the client. As they were walking on the road, Kurenai saw some puddles and knew something was up since it hadn't rained in a number of days she decided to wait it out and see how the genins did.

All of a sudden, two chuunins rose from the ground and shot out chains from the gauntlets on there forearms and ripped Kurenai a part, or at least it looked that way. Naruto quickly turned around and suddenly disappeared from sight only to reappear in front of the two nuke-nins and roundhouse kick them knocking the pair out at once.

He then turned to see five more nuke-nins jump onto the road and engage his teammates and comrades. Naruto quickly dashed after the one going for Sakura and knocked him out with a kick to the head as he saw another being pinned to the tree by Sasuke's kunai. He turned once again to see one falling after having all his chakra eaten by Shino's kikai bugs and another fall to Kiba's tsuuga. He then moved to dash after the one that was about to strike Hinata down and he suddenly collapsed dead with Hinata's arm stretched out and her palm having struck his heart.

"Damn, we need to go back now with Kurenai-sensei being dead." Kiba said looking at his fellow leaf shinobi.

"No, she's alive. You can come out now sensei." Naruto said looking right behind Kiba.

Kurenai showed herself and said "Good job you six. You took out seven Chuunin level shinobi; they all look like Mist nuke-nins."

"They are, the first two I took out were the Demon Brothers." Naruto stated and then continued walking "Sensei we should get going, our back up will be here in a moment or two and can have them arrested."

"Yes, I agree Naruto, and Tazuna has some explaining to do while we move on." Kurenai stated as she followed Naruto.

As they continued on, Tazuna explained why he had lied about the mission and not having enough money to pay for a higher rank mission. After that, they all agreed to continue the mission and soon boarded a boat headed for the Wave Country.

BREAK…..

The six Genin, Kurenai and Tazuna were walking through a forest near a river when all of a sudden Naruto and Kurenai both shouted "Hit the ground." Naruto dove and brought down Tazuna and the other six all dropped to the ground as a massive blade spun through the air over head.

A man appeared on the blade and Naruto looked at him and spoke in a bored voice "Momochi Zabuza, Demon of the Mist. An A ranked nuke-nin and was a Mist Jouinin before he left."

"Good kid, you've done your homework." Zabuza said looking at the blond kid.

"Yes I have, and now I'll show some of my special moves, Kurenai-sensei, I'll take care of him." Naruto said turning to Kurenai.

"Naruto, wait, he's a jouinin level ninja. I don't think I could even take him down." She said.

"No you couldn't, but I can. And if I can't, I'll at least stall him till Leon-sensei comes." Naruto responded and pushed a little bit of chakra into his eyes as he said "Sharingan."

"So, the kid can use the Sharingan, guess you'll be a smidge of a challenge." Zabuza said as he laughed at the blond haired kid.

All of a sudden, the branches on the tree he was on tried to wrap around Zabuza who quickly jumped off them and grabbed his sword as he landed. "So, you have more than one bloodline limit, impressive, but not good enough to face me."

"Kirigakure non jutsu" (Hidden Mist Technique) Zabuza said after making a couple hand seals making a thick layer of mist cover the area. "There are eight vital target: Throat, spinal column, lungs, liver, the jugular vein, the sub clavian vein, kidneys and heart. Which one do you think I should attack first?" Zabuza said using a couple water clones to make sure his voice came from all over the area.

All of a sudden, Zabuza appeared in between them all only to find a flame red katana blocking his with the work "Salamander" written on the blade in black letters. Naruto then quickly spun around Zabuza and slashed through his waist only for Zabuza to turn into water. All of a sudden another Zabuza appeared behind Naruto and was about to slash him when Naruto glowed a bright yellow glow and exploded turning the other Zabuza into water as Naruto then rose out of the ground in a tree branch that snaked out and grabbed Zabuza wrapping around him.

"You can't hide from me near trees Zabuza, I have advanced the Mokuten bloodline even further and have an absolute defense that can be used with a single though that protects me, and my kaasan is after all the legendary slug sannin, Tsunade."

"Damn." Zabuza said and then turned his head and yelled "Haku, run for it."

Another man jumped into the clearing with a young girl over his shoulders and said "Is this the Haku you're looking for."

"Yes, please whatever you do, don't hurt her. Take care of her for me, I couldn't give her a good enough life, but you can. Kill me if you want but not her, she is innocent." Zabuza said pleading with the man.

"No worry, if you want, I can have you both assigned as Konoho shinobi." Leon said before turning to the rest "Let's go, for now Naruto, take Zabuza."

BREAK…..

Leon walked off with Haku over his shoulder and followed by the rest of the Konoho shinobi with Naruto carrying Zabuza. After a moment, Leon notices that Naruto is starting to tire from the extra weight and drops back and takes Zabuza over his other shoulder to continue. The whole time Sasuke is thinking 'Damn that brat, he has so much power, but why does he have power and I don't.'

As soon as they reached Tazuna's house, Leon walked around to the backyard and made some quick hand seals before slamming his fist onto the ground saying "Wood Release: Chakra Draining Prison" as three four thick and solid squares rise up from the ground and surround Haku and Zabuza and then wood shoots over the top.

Leon walked back into the house finished making the prison as Kurenai looks at Leon from the door and says "How the hell did you use the Mokuten bloodline."

"I copied it using my own bloodline limit and can use it completely. Not as strongly as Naruto though, I can't use the absolute defense." He replied as if it was nothing.

Leon and Kurenai walked back into the house and sat at the table as Tsunami started served supper. "Well Naruto, it looks like two of your bloodline limits are out. Don't reveal the third unless I give permission. It will cause a lot of problems if revealed."

"Yes Leon-sensei" Naruto replied as the other five genins look at Naruto in awe and shock that he has three bloodline limits.

"Ok, to bed early today and tomorrow I'll train the five of you. Naruto, you'll guard the bridge and Tazuna if Leon deems it necessary. Is that ok with you Leon." Kurenai said as they ate supper.

"Yes Kurenai-chan, it sounds like a solid plan, I'm going out to interrogate Zabuza and Haku." Leon replied as he stood up after finishing and left the house through the back door.

Leon walked up to his special prison and made a couple hand seals allowing him to walk through the wood and stopping it from draining there chakra.

"Ok you two, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself and join Konoho. Otherwise I'll return you to Konoho where you will await for Mist Hunter Nin to take you away. All you need to do is answer a couple questions truthfully. Understand?" Leon said after he entered.

"Yes, I understand and will answer your questions. Haku deserves a better life than I've been able to give her anyways." Zabuza replied.

"Ok, good. First question, how many missing nin has Gatou hired?" Leon asked.

"He's hired two others and my small group. You've already defeated all of mine, the other two I hear are S-class missing nin, and one of them if from Konoho if I'm correct." Haku replied.

"Good, do you know either of there identifications?" Leon asked.

"Yes, one of them was Hoshigake Kisame was one of them; once a fellow member of the Legendary Seven Swordsman of the Mist and is the most powerful left alive. He wields the sword Samehada that shaves instead of cuts and can eat chakra." Zabuza answered.

"Damn, he's also a member of an organization known as Akatsuki, if his partner if from Konoho, my guess would be Uchiha Itachi. Itachi killed his entire clan except for his younger brother at the age of 13 and wields the Mangekyo Sharingan. He is one of the two most powerful missing nin from Konoho, if he ranks behind anyone it would be Orochimaru but I am uncertain about who is stronger. This will truly be difficult. I'll give you two the chance to become Leaf Shinobi, if you do, your first mission starts tomorrow and has become an S-class mission." Leon said after Zabuza's answer.

"Ok, if Haku wants to, you have the pair of us." Zabuza said.

"Hai Leon-san" Haku said in answer to the question.

"Ok you two, unfortunately I need to keep you in here for now but it will no longer drain your chakra. Tomorrow before I leave, I'll let you both out of here. Haku will stay and guard Tsunami and Inari while Zabuza will go with Naruto and my self to guard the bridge and Tazuna. I'll leave a clone here that will be able to communicate between Haku and myself. Understand." Leon said glad that he had two more to work with.

"Hai Leon-san" they both replied. All of a sudden, two soft beds made of wood and leaves raised out of the ground.

"Go to sleep, you have to recover more than half your chakra and it'll be a tough day tomorrow." Leon said and left the wood prison.

Leon entered the house again to find only Naruto and Kurenai still awake and looked at them. "Ok, Kurenai, at all costs you are to keep the other five away from this house and the bridge. Train a good distance away, there is two S-class missing nin also hired by Gatou, Hoshigake Kisame and Uchiha Itachi. Our goal will not be to kill them, but to defend against them. If they show up at the bridge, Naruto and Zabuza will engage Kisame and I'll engage Itachi. The lucky thing is that I can go head to head with Itachi right now and Naruto with Zabuza's aid should be able to hold of Kisame. You have my permission to use the Kirameki no jutsu and the rasengan against Kisame, but be careful because his sword eats chakra. I would suggest on going with the Dance of the Twin Dragons Kirameki style. Got that Naruto?"

"Hai Leon-sensei" Naruto answered.

"Do you understand your orders Kurenai?" Leon asked turning to Kurenai.

"Hai Leon, may I ask why I'm not helping though?" Kurenai responded.

"Hai, your genjutsus will get in the way because Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan can easily aid him to reverse your genjutsus and trap yourself in them. It'll be the first time in a while that I've had to fight at full strength, including the Mangekyo Sharingan will be used. This will give me equal ground with Itachi since his Tsukuyomi can't affect another that is using the Mangekyo Sharingan." Leon explained.

"Ok Leon-kun. Just make sure the pair of you return." Kurenai said standing up and heading off to bed.

"I promise we will Kurenai-chan" Leon said under his breath as he motioned for Naruto to go to bed and followed shortly behind.

BREAK…..

The next morning, they all woke up and headed of to there tasks after breakfast. After Kurenai and the other genins had left, Leon and Naruto walked outside using the back door. Approaching the wood prison, Leon made a couple quick hand seals and slammed it into the prison saying "Release." With that, Haku and Zabuza got ready for there parts of the mission as Leon made a shadow clone. "Ok, remember what we must do, also Zabuza, it doesn't matter if we kill the two enemy, just make sure to injure them enough to make them retreat. Killing them will be an added bonus if we do so. Got it?"

With that, Leon, Naruto, and Zabuza were all off towards the bridge with another one of Leon's Shadow Clones henging into Tazuna. "Ok, we all know the plan, try to stick by it. Our number one priority though, is to make sure that they don't leave with Naruto. Approaching target"

Moments later, Leon felt in his head that Gatou had send two thugs to try and gather up Tsunami. Giving the command to his clone, he sent Haku off to assassinate Gatou since he felt the presence of two strong ninja a head of them.

"Ok, they're there. Start walking now and be prepared for anything." Leon said as he dropped onto the ground from the tree branches.

Moments later, the three shinobi and Leon's shadow clone henged into Tazuna arrived at the bridge.

Rising out of the water and then jumping onto the bridge, Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigake Kisame made there presence known. "I never thought that you would join them Zabuza." Kisame said letting off a wave of killing intent.

When he saw all three throw it off easily, he smirked hopping for a good fight when Zabuza replied "Neither did I, but I did and am happy to get a chance to kill you now."

Itachi made to move for Naruto when Leon's shadow clone moved at him quickly and kicked him backwards towards the water. Itachi landed on it easily as Tazuna poofed out of existence and Leon spoke in a calm and collected voice saying "I shall be your opponent Uchiha Itachi."

"Very well, Mangekyo Sharingan" He said in reply getting ready to battle.

"Good, I'm glad to see it so early, it means I can reveal this" Leon said as he moved his hitai-ate from covering his left eye to covering his right eye showing his own Mangekyo Sharingan.

"And might I ask how you got that?" Itachi asked seeing the Mangekyo Sharingan which only he had obtained in the last hundred years.

"This, it's simply, it was stolen from an Uchiha over a hundred years ago by my ancestor and thanks to my bloodline, every Towasoki born from the main branch of the family has had it since." Leon explained as he made some quick seals hidden by his cloak and said "Kursari no Daichi Joukai, Kai" (Chains of Heaven and Earth, Release) and a bright blue light shone around Leon and then silver flashed inside of it making the sound of two chains breaking. "Now that my weights have been released, shall we begin Itachi." Leon finished now ready to begin the fight.

"Hai, I will surely kill you for the challenge Leon-san, I guess I should remove my weights too." Itachi then pulled his cloak and hat off before taking his weighted bands on each limb. "Now we can begin."

Leon moved towards Itachi seeming to glide over the water because he was moving so fast and made to punch Itachi in the face for it to be blocked.

Naruto and Zabuza vs Kisame

Zabuza drew his sword and ran at Kisame and slashed at him, but Kisame blocked it by moving his own massive sword off his back and holding it vertically in front of himself. Then Naruto appeared in front of him and kicked him backwards off the bridge, Kisame however looked as if he had been merely tickled instead of kicked with enough force to knock down a building.

"Come on kid, is that all you've got, From what I hear about your fight with Zabuza, your skilled, but that kick was nothing" Kisame shot at Naruto.

Naruto and Zabuza jumped down onto the water, standing a top it like Kisame and got ready for battle before Naruto remembered his weights.

"Yea, but you'll love to see the splash these babies make" Naruto said as he bent down and concentrated a little chakra into the weights, unlatching them and pulling them off his ankles before dropping them into the water and then doing the same to his wrist weights. "Now that feels good, 2800 pounds lighter." Naruto said.

Kisame was shocked though he didn't show it, 'A kid wearing 2800 pounds, he'll be fast. Means I'll need to remove my weights' he thought as with one hand he pulled his cloak over his head and let it fall back before sliding off weights from his wrists and ankles.

"That's good for you kid, almost as much as mine weighed." Kisame bluffed and got ready to attack.

Naruto then quietly said "Sharingan" to himself as he eyes became red and you could see three tomoes around the black pupil of his eye. Me once again was impressed but didn't show it as he thought 'So, Itachi has another relative that he never knew about. This kid is a lot tougher than Itachi-san's younger brother though. He'll be the one to kill Itachi someday if anyone can. We better grab the kid before he can harness the Kyuubi's power.'

Kisame then put his sword back on his back and made some quick hand seals that Naruto copied as they called out "Suiton: Suikodan no Jutsu" (Water Release: Water Shark Missile Technique) causing a shark made out of water to fly at each other, in mid flight the water sharks hit each other, but Kisame's easily over powers Naruto's who disappears in a yellow flash only to reappear in front of Kisame and kicks him back another twenty feet.

"Damn." Was all Kisame muttered before he retook his fighting stance.

Leon vs Itachi

Leon nor Itachi had gained any ground in the fight, both blocking and dodging the others attacks in an intricate taijutsu battle that showed two of the worlds top fighters, and most importantly, the two strongest sharingan holders. All of a sudden, Itachi jumped back and flashed through several hand seals finishing with "Katon: Karyu Endan" (Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Missile) and then he sucked in a huge breath and launched a large stream of fire at Leon.

Leon simply laughed to himself as he took up a stance similar to a Hyuuga getting ready to use the Kaiten and then spun saying "Fuuton: Kaiten" (Wind Release: Heavenly Spin) as he spun around spinning the wind condensed with his chakra around in a spherical shape creating a shield and stopping the katon jutsu from hitting him.

Itachi was surprised to see the move and not being able to copy it without hand seals being used. As the spinning stopped, Itachi appeared in front of Leon and pulled him down with his hands grabbing Leon's forearms and kicked him into the air as he dropped his back and head down onto the water surface.

Leon spun in mid air to face downwards only to have Itachi appear again behind him and spin kicking him back into the incomplete bridge.

Leon slammed into the bridge with incredible force leaving a large dent in the bridge but he stood up chuckling. "Come on Itachi, Arashi-sensei said I had a body of diamond for a reason. You'll need to use your full power to truly hurt me, that merely left a bruise, mind you it's as big as what I get in training. Be proud of yourself for that, but my body is hard as a diamond and I'm quick as lightning. You truly are good though for just landing a hit, so let's go." Leon finished before jumping back off the bridge and charging Itachi aiming a spin kick at his head which Itachi lazily blocked and tried to sweep Leon's left leg out from underneath him.

Leon jumped up and spun bringing an axe kick down which Itachi rolled away from and kicked out hitting Leon's side which he merely took and spun missing the axe handle chop he aimed for Itachi's neck as Itachi ducked and put both hand on the water lifting his lower body and kicking Leon back ten feet with a two footed kick to the stomach area.

"Your good Itachi, who knows, maybe you'll even force me to reveal my full strength. That shall wait for later though." Leon said as he once again took up a fighting stance, this time he had turned sideways with his left hand forward parallel to the water and his left knee bent at a 90 degree angle and his right foot back and the right hand raised above his head at a 45 degree angle, the main change is that both palms are open.

Itachi quickly moves at Leon and aims a kick to the chest the is blocked but his follow up kick gets through breaking a rib as Leon flies backwards. And lands on top of the water still emitting chakra to stay on top.

Leon slowly rose with one hand on his chest thanking that the broken rib had not punctured a lung. "I guess it's time for my full power" Leon said as he pulled his cloak off to reveal that his upper body was completely wrapped in bandages up to the bottom of his neck and all down his arms to his hands. He soon started to focus a small amount of chakra in his hands as he drew his hands down his chest and then down each arm splitting the bandages and pulling them off to show that his upper body was covered in tattoos as he pumped a bit of chakra into the seal tattoos. The changes were seen immediately as black wings grew out of Leon's back and extended to be three feet in length each and his teeth grew into fearsome looking fangs and his nails into large claws as a black chakra swirled around him.

"Bahamute might not be as strong as the Nine Legendary Bijuu, but I can control enough of his power to give me victory over you Itachi. I've spent my whole life training to use his power and my body can already withstand two thirds of his full power. Now you'll die" Leon finished as he lifted off the water and disappeared flying to fast for Itachi to keep up.

Naruto and Zabuza vs Kisame

"Fine than brat, it's time to use the Samehada to its full power. Your Kirameki won't get through this baby because it eats chakra." Kisame said as he pulled the massive blade off his back and quickly un-wrapped the bandages around it.

Zabuza jumped at Kisame slashing his sword forward only to have it easily blocked by Kisame who then spun and kicked Zabuza back into the bridge and with a sickening crunch, he fell into the water.

Naruto tried to use his kirameki no jutsu to get closer to Kisame only for the yellow flash to stop and then he get thrown away. Naruto then laughed and slammed his hand onto the water saying "Mokuton: Jubaku Satsu no jutsu" (Wood Release: Tree Binding Death Technique) as a tree raised out of the water and the branches shot forward to catch Kisame in them and started to squeeze them.

"Damn it." Kisame muttered as he could feel the tree choking him.

All of a sudden Itachi came flying towards Kisame from the other side of the bridge having just been kicked by Leon.

Itachi turned in mid air and drew his Katana using it to cut Kisame out who then picked up the Samehada and the pair of them disappeared.

"Damn." Leon said as he landed on the water only to see a ship appear near the edge of the bridge and Haku running across the waters towards it. Leon simply flew towards it and made some quick one handed signals before placing his right hand in a tunnel in front of his mouth saying "Katon: Dragon Style: Mega Flare Technique" and then taking a deep breath before blowing a massive stream of white fire at the ship as it caught fire and blew up from the intense heat as Leon poured all of his massive chakra stores into it. The wings then disappeared as he fell to the bridge and was caught by Naruto who rested both Leon and Zabuza on the bridge.

Haku then helped Naruto take Leon and Zabuza back to Tazuna's house to rest up after the battle.
