Making a Difference chapter 4
Hello guys, the craziest thing just happened. I actually got the time to get off my butt and write another chapter of this story. Best part is it's finally the Wave arc. Personally, it's one of my favorite parts of Naruto stories. Hope you all enjoy this chapter.
Disclaimer: I wonder. Why would I write this story if I owned Naruto?
"Alright, moving towards target." a green clad figure spoke into an earpiece. Moving through the various shrubbery as silently as the wind itself, the person eventually reached a small clearing. Standing in the middle of the clearing was a cat that caused hell for all Konoha genin teams alike. "Red ribbon on the right ear. Yep, that's Tora." Nick said to himself quietly. The cat suddenly looked up as it felt someone approaching it. Nick quickly went prone, praying to god that the demonic feline had not spotted him. Apparently it had not because it continued with what it had been doing. " Rabbit, Joker, you guys in position?" Nick spoke into his earpiece. "R-Roger Talon." Hinata managed to say. Nick smiled since it was thanks to Naruto that she didn't stutter as much as she used to. 'But he still doesn't know she likes him. How can he be so retarded still? Wait, where's Naruto?' Nick mentally asked himself. A sudden noise made him raise his head up. He could hear a rustling in the trees above him, revealing to be none other than Naruto. Said ninja pounced from the tree he was at and attempted to land on Tora. Of course, landing on a cat that was notorious for it's ninja-like escape tactics wasn't exactly a good idea. Tora jumped back, causing Naruto to land on his stomach. Before Naruto could get back up, Tora swiped her claws at the boy's face.
"Ow! It scratched me." Naruto said while holding his face. 'I'm never going back to the fat woman, never!' Tora thought to herself as she prepared her last stand. She hissed at the approaching genin as if they were demons. Nick, Naruto, and Hinata all prepared for the final move. Both sides charged, one for the retrieval of Tora and the other for freedom. Then they clashed. Two hours later, all three members of Team seven were seen in the hospital, being treated for slices, cuts, bruises, and bites that they got from their fight with Tora. "That was the most difficult battle I've ever been in." Nick said truthfully. The others nodded their heads in agreement and turned towards the patient in the bed next to them. Tora had two black eyes and multiple bruises on her face. She could barely mew from the pain she was in.
Kakashi came in to get a band-aid from the nurse but stopped when he saw his team and Tora. Putting two and two together, he finally found out the situation and started laughing at them. "Hahahaha, you guys actually fought Tora? That, is funny." Kakashi said when he finally stopped laughing. "Didn't want to say this but, the Daimyo's wife is coming." Kakashi said, shocking his students and Tora. Right then the Fire Daimyo's wife came in. When she saw her cat looking as healthy as ever, she squealed and started hugging it viciously. "Oh thank you, I hope you all get better." the woman said before she left. When the door closed, Naruto, Nick, Hinata, and Kakashi all sighed in relief. "That was close. Good work on the henge Nick," Kakashi said. "Now there's the matter of our next mission. Since you guys will be in the hospital for a day or two, we'll get one after you get out." Kakashi said as he closed the door to the room.
In a few days, Team Seven was ready for it's next mission. In the Hokage's
office, they waited for the man himself to give them a mission. "Well, we have dog walking, cutting someone's grass, baby sitting, or catching Tora again." the Third listed. "Wait, she escaped again!" Naruto said, horrified that his efforts were in vain. "Ahhhhh!" He screamed as he threw a chair through the window. Everybody stared at him as if he was crazy. "Eh, whoops?" Naruto said slowly. Fortunately nobody really cared that much, it could easily be replaced. "Old man I've had it with these fake 'missions'. We need a challenge to test our skills." Naruto said defiantly. Inspired by Naruto, Hinata decided to join in as well. "Naruto-kun is right! We need to see if we can be ninja or not." the girl said unexpectedly. Everybody in the room was momentarily stunned by the usually shy girl's approval. "Wow, you didn't stutter Hinata." Naruto said after he got out of his stupor. She immediately blushed and started poking her fingertips together. 'Do I have to slap a bitch! Come on Naruto, it's obvious she loves you.' Nick thought hopelessly, feeling like he was telling a character in a scary movie what to do without anything happening. Of course, with Naruto being who he was, he didn't probe into the matter anymore.
"You kids couldn't possibly do anything more than D-rank, it's too..." "Iruka-sensei stop it," Nick interrupted. "One, we are a badass group of individuals. Two, I'm technically a jounin since I have the skills of many around the village. And finally three, you can't just keep on babying us. The mother bird has to force it's babies out of the nest so that they can mature and fly." Nick finished, getting a look from the Third. "He's right Iruka, they need a higher ranked mission. Not too hard but not easy, I have the perfect mission for you three. A mission to Nami no Kuni (Land of Waves). You'll be escorting Tazuna the bridge builder to his home." the Third explained. Just then Tazuna arrived, drinking his booze like it was his last day to live. "You're giving me brats to defend me. They all look weak, especially the kid in the green jacket." Tazuna said annoyingly. "That's not what your daughter said last night." Nick replied smartly. "Why you little son of a...". Then Kakashi arrived, with his little orange book in his hands. "Sorry I'm late, I had to assist the elderly at the nursing home. You guys go home and get ready for the mission." Kakashi said. Ignoring their sensei's lame excuse, the three genin left the office. Tazuna watched them until they left, then he sighed. "Something tells me this is going to be one long ass walk back home."
The next day, Team Seven was assembled at the village gate. Tazuna was there with them being annoying. "When I was your age, I respected my elders." he was explaining to the genin, only to see they were sleeping. "Hey!" Tazuna yelled. They all woke up out of their sleepy state, noticing Tazuna for the first time. "Sorry, you were saying?" Nick asked. At a memorial in training ground Seven, Kakashi sneezed. "Crap, I almost forgot!" Kakashi realized. He sprinted towards the village gates, only to find his students gawking at him. "What?" Kakashi asked. "You were only 7 minutes late, that's a record." Naruto told him. "Oh." Kakashi said. Once everyone was ready they went through the gates and started their journey to the Land of Waves.
"Are we there yet?" Nick said for the hundredth time that day. The group was currently walking through a forest, hoping to not be attacked yet. So far no attacks came at them so Nick decided to loosen up a bit. "How many times do I have to say no!" Kakashi screamed, trying his best to keep calm. Nick continued asking him that until they both saw a puddle. 'It hasn't rained here for days, why would there be a puddle?' Kakashi wondered. 'I hate the demon brothers, every time I see them get their asses kicked it's retarded. Now Zabuza on the other hand looked tough.' Nick thought to himself. Nick nodded to Kakashi to let him know he was aware. All of a sudden, two ninja jumped from the puddle and landed behind the group. Kakashi turned around only to get grabbed by the razor chains they had. With a pull, Kakashi was torn to shreds.
Hinata and Naruto were shocked to see their sensei die while Nick just brushed it off. Making a stance, Nick got ready to do battle with the two brothers. "Do you actually think you can beat us?" Gozu asked with a sneer. "If I wanted to beat you guys I'd just make you look at each other. Has anyone told you how ugly you two look?" Nick asked back. "You'll pay for that you fool!" Gozu said before charging. Meizu tried to stop him but it was too late. Gozu aimed his chain towards Nick, only for the young ninja to side-step out of the way. The chain ended up being embedded in a tree. Nick took the opportunity to kick Gozu in the face. Seeing his brother get taken down made Meizu mad enough to attack as well. Before he could however, five Naruto's suddenly appeared and threw him to the ground. Then they proceeded to stomp him vigorously. By the time they were done, Meizu had bruises everywhere. "Nice work. Nick and Naruto ended the threat to Tazuna's life while Hinata successfully protected him. Overall, not bad." Kakashi praised. They continued to walk until they finally reached the boat that would lead them to the Land of the Waves.
An hour or so later, the boatman got them to the shore. Aft they all got off he quickly left, not wanting to be around the area any longer. A walk in the new terrain led to Naruto throwing a kunai at a rabbit and almost hitting it. Luckily it dodged at the last minute. "See, that's proof!" Nick said smugly to Kakashi, who looked down to his tool pouch in shame. "Hey, that's rabbit's fur is white. Isn't that a little strange?" Nick questioned, only to receive a horrified look from their sensei. "Get down!" he yelled as he pushed them down. Immediately after he did a giant blade came crashing into a tree next to them. On top of the blade was Zabuza Momochi, Demon of the Hidden Mist.
"Oh my god! Zabuza, you look freakin' badass. Can I have your autograph after this." Nick asked hopefully, receiving a stern glance from Kakashi. "Ok brat, how about I use your blood as ink and I'll cut off your skin and use it as paper." Zabuza intimidated while releasing some killing intent. Nick was unaffected though so he continued. "The only thing really wrong with you is your fucked up eyebrows. The bandages make you look cool, but when you get to the eyebrows it's like 'Oh my god, that man has hairy caterpillars on his face!' " Nick teased, receiving a hateful glare from the missing nin. "That's it, i'm fighting you first . Before, I wanted to fight Kakashi of the Sharingan eye but now I want to cut your tongue out!" Zabuza roared. Kakashi stepped forward, only for Nick to raise his hand. "Come on Kakashi, let me have some fun. Besides, I got the Sharingan myself Zabuza." Nick said while revealing his Sharingan. "Well, this just got interesting." Zabuza said as he hefted his Kubikiribocho on his shoulder.
Nick made the first move, performing a palm strike on Zabuza's chest. Zabuza didn't expect an attack like it so he tried to slice at the ninja. Ducking and back stepping out of Zabuza's attack range, Nick took the time to study Zabuza's techniques. 'Got it!' Nick thought as he now had some of Zabuza's skills. Nick leaped at the missing nin, only for him to jump back as Zabuza's sword almost lopped his head off. Nick feinted with a left hook and went for an uppercut that hit Zabuza's jaw. Angered by this, Zabuza once again swung his sword without success. Using the temporary time he had, Zabuza formed the correct hand seals for his jutsu. "Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Jutsu." Zabuza said. With that, a large amount of mist appeared. Zabuza was about to strike Nick from his hidden position until Nick decided to counter the man's jutsu. "Wind style: Great Wind Breakthrough." Nick said as he unleashed a large amount of wind that swept the mist away, revealing Zabuza who was staring down Nick with unbridled hatred. " Seriously Zabuza-kun, is that the best you can do? Nick mocked, making Zabuza very mad.
"Do you ever shut up brat!" Zabuza said as he lifted his sword in both hands. " Only on the most boring of Mondays." Nick said in response, whipping out kunai in both hands. With a cry they both charged, seeking to inflict fatal injuries on one another. Zabuza swiped downwards with his sword, making Nick spin around and kick the swordsman in the back of the knee. Nick went for a throat slit but Zabuza smacked him away with the flat part of the blade. "That's gonna hurt in the morning." Nick said as he got back up. Nick threw a dozen kunai, which Zabuza easily swatted away. 'God damn shuriken and kunai!' Nick mentally screamed. Zabuza went back on the offensive with a broad slash that would cut Nick in half. Without a moment's hesitation, Nick jumped over the would-be fatal slash and roundhouse kicked Zabuza in the face. The older ninja staggered back, giving Nick the opportunity he needed. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Nick yelled. In a poof of smoke, twenty Nicks appeared with kunai and shuriken alike in their arsenal.
"I am an idiot for not thinking of this before. I have finally figured out the solution for the kunai and shuriken problem." Nick said with a wide grin. "What are you talking about brat?" Zabuza asked out of confusion. "Well Zabuza-kun, I'll explain. I found that even the fanciest, most accurate throw with a kunai or shuriken is usually blocked or dodged. So I have an answer to that problem. Why pick quality when quantity works much better?" Nick said smiling. All the Nicks threw their respective tools at once. "Shadow Shuriken Jutsu!" Nick cried out. All the tools turned into possible thousands, all heading for a certain Demon of the Hidden Mist. "Oh shit." Zabuza managed to say before the deadly hail of ninja tools hit him. He tried to block with his sword, but some still managed to get to him. After a full minute of the barrage of shuriken and kunai it was over.
Miraculously enough, Zabuza survived despite the multiple kunai and shuriken that stuck out of him. Nick kneeled, tired from using his jutsu for so long. "Heh, can't believe it. I have defeated the legendary Zabuza Momochi. Guess that technically means I'm one of the seven swordsmen now." Nick said, hoping to be able to have Zabuza's blade. Zabuza attempted to get up, only for several senbon to appear in his neck. With a thud, Zabuza fell to the ground. Nick and the others looked to see a masked ninja approaching them. "Thank you for helping me kill Zabuza. I must go and get rid of the body." She said before she grabbed Zabuza. "Hold up, aren't hunter ninja supposed to get rid of the body on site? Haku if your gonna try and trick us at least make it more believable next time." Nick scolded, only to find Haku leaping through the trees. "That...was fucking awesome." Naruto finally blurted out. Then Nick fell to the ground.
And that is a wrap. What do you guys think. Sorry for not mentioning this before but this is going to be a femHaku. Also I hope I don't disappoint anyone by saying this but no harems.
