Naruto:... Can we just get on with this. I'm itching for a fight!
Nanashi: Meh I get no respect!
Cover: Naruto looking up at the looming figure of Zabuza, chakra spiraling around him like a twister. Zabuza is pointing his sword at him a masked figure behind him while Naruto holds a demon wind shuriken in his left hand, and has his right hand pointing up at the two, pointer finger and thumb in the classic gun position
Staring at the imposing man, team seven slowly stood up to face this new threat. Shaking his arm, Naruto's arm turned to normal in a puff of smoke. Tensing in anticipation the young genins and jounin looked forward. It was time for the next battle! Momochi Zabuza has entered the picture!
"So Sharingan Kakashi, I wouldn't have ever imagined I would be meeting you here," the missing nin stated, looking down at team seven plus one. Dropping down from the sword, Zabuza came falling down, slicing into the tree as he fell. As his feet touched the ground, he disappeared in a burst of speed and appeared in front of the team. Tensing up, Kakashi pulled out a kunai, his left hand reaching for his tilted headband. Hearing his team pull weapons he turned to them and shook his head.
"Stay out of this you don't know what this man is capable of…Momochi Zabuza, the Demon of the Mist," the silver haired sensei spoke behind him.
"Haha so you know of me well I'm honored Kakashi," Zabuza stated. Kakashi frowned and pulled up his head band, revealing the covered eye. A closed eye with a scar running down it was revealed, and as it opened the Sharingan sprang into life, its three tomoes spinning. "Ah the Sharingan! I am honored Copy-nin, but it seems like I need to blind you then. Kirigakure no jutsu!" yelled out Zabuza holding his hands so that one half ram seal was above his head and another in front of his chest. An ominous mist slowly filled the area, covering everything from view.
Sasuke gasped his mind a mix of emotions. "Sharingan what's that," Naruto asked.
"It is doujutsu that is special to the Uchiha family," Sasuke said. "It is said to be able to copy any nin, gen, or taijutsu. It gives the person the ability to perceive things faster and some even think it can see into the future…" 'But how does sensei have it? Could he be an Uchiha? No impossible then how?"
"Well your wonderful doujutsus may be able to do that, but it won't save you," Zabuza said unleashing an insane amount of killing intent. Everyone froze as the killing intent, and Sasuke slowly reached for his kunai pouch as he thought, 'I can't do this! This is what it's like when I know I'm going to die.'
"Sasuke! It's ok I won't let anything happen to you guy," Kakashi said looking back at his team, eye smiling.
"Strong words from a dead man," Zabuza stated appearing between Kakashi and the rest of the team. With a slash of his sword, Kakashi was torn in two. Kakashi's body floated in the air before bursting in water. "Mizu bunshin! To have copied my jutsu through mist".
"Correct Zabuza," Kakashi said as he appeared behind Zabuza, holding a kunai to his neck.
"Wha-what happened!" Naruto exclaimed.
"As I said the Sharingan allows for jutsu copying. Kakashi-sensei must have copied one of Zabuza's moves," Sasuke explained while the fight continued. As the two men exchanged blows, Kakashi was suddenly surprised and kicked onto a nearby lake. Sputtering, Kakashi pulled himself on top of the lake using chakra when he noticed that the water was heavier than normal.
"Fool, this is my terrain. Suroi no jutsu," Zabuza appeared behind Kakashi and put one hand forward as a globe of water formed and trapped the silver haired man.
"Shit!" Looking at his team Kakashi yelled at them. "Run get out of here!" Kakashi struggled to get free, but the water was too heavy and he wasn't able to make any moves. He watched in horror as his captor's remaining hand formed a seal and a water clone formed in front of the original.
"It's all over for your precious students, eh Kakashi?" Zabuza chuckled. The clone started to move towards the genins, and as it got closer, Sasuke pulled a kunai from his pouch. Once its foot touched the shore, Sasuke bolted towards it, shuriken flying and kunai raised.
"Graaaaaghh- ugh," the black haired boys yell was cut off as the water clone grabbed him, and in one deft motion, slammed him to the ground. The Uchiha gasped in pain and was subjected to a double dose of the stuff as the missing-nin clone slammed its foot into the poor boys back. Sasuke screamed out as he could feel the heel on his back crushing him.
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura yelled. She wanted to race toward him, but her feet wouldn't move. Sakura was frozen in fear as she watched the demon of the mist look towards her. However that didn't stop her insane blonde teammate. A rush of yellow went by her, and Sakura could only watch as Naruto yelled hysterically towards their foe.
Naruto knew what he was doing was stupid and one of the most idiotic things he has ever done. But these were his teammates and he really started to think of them as friends. They were his first friends, and no one was going to take them away. Naruto slid under the arm aimed towards his head and aimed a kunai towards the leg holding Sasuke. He didn't expect the foot slamming into him and smacking off his headband, the kunai dropping harmlessly next to the leg. Rolling backwards to lessen the impact, Naruto watched as his headband was crushed under the bunshin's free foot.
"What are you doing? I told you to run!" the submerged from of Kakashi yelled at them. "This guy is way out of your league!" Sakura watched in fear as their sensei's eyes seemed to be filled with panic. "But Kakashi-sensei, we can't run if we tried he'd kill you and...and.." Sakura was cut off as the real Zabuza cut her off.
"Kill you all?" the nukenin finished. "You kids know nothing of being a ninja when I was your age I already killed." The shock ran across the genin as Kakashi told them the story of the Kiri's genin exam. By the time it was done Zabuza was looking up, a sick smile on his face. "Ahh memories…"
"And that is why you all need to go now!" the trapped jounin yelled. Naruto looked towards the clone and spoke with conviction, "You told us those who break the rules are trash, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash. I'm not going anywhere!"
Growling in anger, Naruto grabbed a few shuriken and lobbed them at clone. The flying pieces were easily dodged, but it served its purpose of distracting the water clone long enough for Sasuke to grab the forgotten kunai and slash at the leg that was keeping him down. Not wanting to be dispelled the clone backed away.
Naruto watched as Sasuke grabbed the headband and jumped towards him. The blonde haired ninja took the hitai-ate gratefully and tied it back on while keeping an eye on the water made clone. "Sasuke are you ok?" Naruto asked. He got the usual 'hn' as a response signifying an ok, and with that Naruto smirked as he started to form a plan. "Good to hear. But we need to free Kakashi-sensei now."
"How are we supposed to do that dobe?" Sasuke asked.
"Follow my lead," was Naruto's response. Before Sasuke could reply, the orange wearing ninja was already running towards the Zabuza in front of him. "Kage bunshin no jutsu!" Naruto called out. With that, a plume of smoke obscured everyone's vision and instead of one there were five Narutos. The Narutos started to separate hoping to catch the Zabuza clone from all sides. As Zabuza-clone prepared himself and the onlookers watched, no one knew the real Naruto transformed himself into a windmill shuriken in one of the clone's bags. It was weird being transformed into a material object instead of transforming a part of his body. It felt like his real body was scrunched into a ball, and he had no senses except for touch and hearing. Thanks to that he was able to understand a rough image of where he was. His thoughts as the lonely shuriken that could were cut off as he heard his main clone, which shall lovingly be called Naru-ichi (You'll see him more throughout the story), yell out to his black haired partner. 'Show time,' Naruto thought. Sending an immense amount of chakra to his right hand, which was very awkward thanks to his position, he waited for Sasuke.
Sasuke caught the flying windmill shuriken and noticed with a sharp eye that the one thrown to him was different. With a smirk Sasuke pulled his own from his pack and quickly stuck the two next to each other making it look like one. 'Nice plan Naruto-dobe. Let's see how it goes,' he thought. Flicking his wrist Sasuke opened up the shuriken and the fake behind it while calling out, "Demon wind shuriken: Windmill of shadows!" Sasuke jumped into the air and with a loud cry hurled his weapon out. The Zabuza-clone watched in mild fascination as the shuriken went for him, but a shocked expression crossed its face when the weapon curved and headed for the real Zabuza. The shuriken screamed towards the mist-nin who held Kakashi tight in a water prison.
"Really? You think that can work against me?" Zabuza plucked the windmill shuriken easily through the air as it went towards him. However he was surprised to see another shuriken flying towards him. 'A second one, in the shadow of the first?' Sasuke and Naru-ichi smirked as the transformed Naruto spiraled towards Zabuza.
CLANG!
Zabuza lazily smacked the second shuriken up making it fly above him with the first shuriken. The people on shore had a mix of emotions. Tazuna and Sakura were in complete shock, 'H..he just swatted the attack away!' Naru-ichi felt like face palming and Sasuke…Sasuke was in between. 'He could have dodged to the side, he could have ducked, fuck he could have even jumped! But no he smacked Naruto into the sky…He is so going to be pissed.'
And right on cue everyone turned their heads up as a puff of smoke grabbed their attention. "Son of a bitch that hurt my ears! You know how bad that rang through my ears!" Everyone watched as Naruto's body appeared. His body was upside down, right hand in a gun position pointing towards the mist-nin, his left hand gripping the other for support.
Flashback
Naruto had just gotten back home from another D-rank and was very annoyed. He spent his day doing those missions (cough-chores-cough), and his nights training to be able to use the signature move of Yusuke from YuYu Hakusho. After learning he could he somewhat use Luffy's move, he delved deeper into the shows he watched searching for something he could use. He couldn't do much at his level, but he found something. After grabbing a ramen cup to eat, Naruto ran out towards a training ground.
He had a vague idea of what to do to get the move to work, but it would take time. 'So Yusuke looked like he focused all his spiritual energy on his pointer finger. Like hell I have that kind of control! Maybe if send an immense amount of chakra to my forearm and then slowly siphon that off into my pointer finger I can mimic what I saw.'
Hours upon hours Naruto practiced the move, his arm totally numb at his side. As he saw daylight breaking upon the horizon, he was able to put together somewhat of a checklist to be able to even produce the move and it went…
Flashback END!
'Step 1: Collect and send a LOT of chakra to my right forearm… check!' Naruto thought, luckily he started doing that beforehand, because even for him this took a lot of chakra to do.
'Step 2: Target lock and start sending stored chakra towards pointer finger,' as Naruto thought this he started push the as much chakra as he could to his finger. The end of his finger started to shine, slowly glowing brighter and brighter.
'Step 3: Push almost all stored chakra into singled out spot. Leave last bit of the chakra as the "trigger" and point, aim, and be ready…' Naruto's pointer finger glowed brightly as chakra started to form around it, encompassing it in a small blue ball. Luckily he was able to do this the quickest he ever had because this wasn't the fastest process… yet. He was just glad his opponent was surprised. "Okay you eye-brow less bastard, hope you're ready for this!" Zabuza's eye twitched at that comment and was ready to yell back, but was cut off.
Naruto used the last bit of chakra as his "trigger" and sent it out as hard as he could towards his finger while he let go of his control of the mass of chakra at the end. The result…
"Reigan(Spirit gun)!" Naruto yelled. A small blue blast of chakra rocketed from his finger with such force that it pushed him a few feet higher. Zabuza watched in morbid fascination as the blue bullet of chakra careened towards him and his prisoner. Not wanting to find out what that attack was capable of, the sword wielder jumped away, letting go of his jutsu. Naruto fell from the sky a smile on his face before his arm exploded in pain. "GRRAAAGGHH!" the boy screamed as he plunged down into the water. His final vision was of his sensei standing in front of him before he passed out.
"So you have any idea what he did?"
"No Sasuke-kun, but I know I've seen it before."
"I have too. It's from that T.V. show that is on."
Naruto awoke to the sound of his teammates talking. Cracking one eye open, he saw Sasuke and Sakura sitting over him. Turning his head slightly he saw his silver haired sensei sleeping on a bed making him notice he was lying on a comfy mattress on the ground. "Ughhhh guys I can hear you," Naruto spoke, his arm throbbing. Sasuke and Sakura looked down at their blonde haired teammate and slowly helped him into a sitting position.
"Where are we?" Naruto asked.
"We are at Tazuna's house," Sakura replied. Naruto nodded and slowly stood up. "Dobe, what was that move that you used?" Naruto looked over to Sasuke to see him stand up and lean against Kakashi's bed.
"Which one?"
"You know which one I'm talking about," Sasuke growled.
"I know that it's just fun to piss you off," Naruto sat on the side of their sensei's bed and massaged his sore arm. "You ever seen YuYu Hakusho?" He received a nod so he continued. "What you just saw was Yusuke Urameshi's main move the Reigan. I tried to use his move my own way like I am with the Luffy move."
"Teach it to me."
"You know what Sasuke you can go fu-" Naruto's anger was cut off as he felt a hand on his shoulder. Naruto looked over to see Kakashi grab onto his shoulder trying to placate him. "Kakashi-sensei you're up huh? What happened?"
"You passed out after using that move that I will hope you won't use again until you have more chakra control, and you Sasuke, I'm going to say this now, do NOT attempt that move." Sasuke gave him a confused look; even Naruto was a bit puzzled. "I'll tell you after we discuss something," Kakashi stated. And with that the discussion of Zabuza's "death" was discussed.
With the new knowledge in mind we now find our lovable genin in a forest looking at their sensei with a confused look. "So we are climbing trees?" Sakura asked. Kakashi nodded to them with his patented eye-smile in place. "Yes Sakura, that is correct."
The young ninja looked at the tree and back at their sensei, doing it a few times, before Kakashi sighed and motioned them to watch. Shifting his crutch, he made the ram seal and started to focus chakra to his feet. Once he did that, he proceeded to make his students drop their jaws in amazement, watching their silver haired sensei walk up the tree completely parallel to the ground. "So this is your guys' training. Channel chakra to your feet and be able to walk all the way up this tree." Kakashi explained. He then threw down a kunai at each of their feet, "Use those to track your progress. I suggest a running start to help get momentum."
Naruto grabbed the kunai from the ground and watched as his teammates started to gather their chakra. Shrugging, he put his hands the ram seal and directed as much chakra as he could to his feet. Focusing on his tree, Naruto pushed off and ran forward. One step, two steps, three ste-.
Crack…BOOM!
The blonde ninja was shot off his tree and hit the ground rolling to a stop, his eyes swirled in dizziness. "Someone get the license of that car?.." Naruto groaned out. Kakashi sweat dropped and walked to where Naruto was lying in a heap. He nudged the down boy with his toe getting a groan in response. Shaking his head, Kakashi looked to see Sasuke jump off after five or six steps and back flip to the ground.
"Well that sure was easier than I thought," Kakashi heard. Looking up he saw Sakura lounging on a branch a smile on her face.
"Well look at that seems Sakura is closer to being Hokage then you Naruto," Naruto flinched angrily as he got up. "And who knows, maybe she can avenge the Uchiha clan," Sasuke's fist clenched causing it to crack. "But then again from what I see Sakura is already tired," Kakashi said cutting off Sakura who was about to yell at him for insulting her Sasuke-kun. "Here's the thing all of you come by me so I can finish what I was about to say in the house. You Sakura," Kakashi said pointing at Sakura, "have some of the best chakra I have ever seen in a genin." Sakura perked up at that but her happiness was cut short when she heard, "But you have the stamina of a three year old."
Sasuke and Naruto face faulted at the bluntness of how he said that while Sakura went from shocked to extremely angry. Kakashi however continued, "You Sasuke are in the middle of these two. You have moderate chakra control for a genin, which is good, and you have a higher chakra reserves then average. That's good, but we'll work on the control and you have a bigger problem that we need to fix. A very big problem," Sasuke looked perplexed, from what he just heard he was the best out of all of them, but his smirk was shot down when he heard that last part. "You have the biggest superiority complex and a one track mind of an adolescent preschooler. Oh and the stubbornness of a donkey, and-"
"Alright, I get it! Enough with my faults and move down the line you ass," Sasuke growled out, his eye twitching dangerously. Naruto tried to hide snickering in the background, but stopped immediately when Sasuke glared at him. Naruto held up his hands saying, "Hey I have faults too."
"Yes you do Naruto," Kakashi agreed. "Which is why I came to you last, I want to explain to you why I told Sasuke not to even attempt what you did. In fact I don't want you to do it until you have more chakra control. You Naruto have more chakra reserves then should be possible in a genin. In fact you may have more than me in a few years, and right now your very close to beating some chunin in chakra capacity." Naruto grinned while Sasuke's eye twitched some more, "but that's the thing Naruto, you have no control…at all." Kakashi deadpanned.
"Hah! In your face you orange bastard! Wipe that shit eating grin off your face!" Sasuke yelled in one of the most uncharacteristic things he has ever done. The wind howled as the forest became completely quiet. Sakura, Naruto, and even Kakashi had wide eyes and mouths hanging in shock as Sasuke registered what he just did. Blushing in embarrassment, Sasuke crossed his arms over his chest trying to regain his composure and 'hnned'.
"Um…yes as I was saying," Kakashi continued looking warily at his charges. 'They're all insane'. "So Naruto you have a lot of chakra which was probably why that Spirit Gun was able to even be used. You basically overcharged your chakra and shot it out and because you have so much chakra you didn't really feel a drain, but do to the overload you probably tore your arm up pretty bad. That's why, Sasuke, I said do not attempt that move. For one, you don't have nearly enough chakra and two imagine how bad that must have hurt our blonde idiot. I can say for myself that he heals pretty fast, one of his few talents for some reason, and with his great way to take pain and heal imagine what would happen to you with less chakra and the inability to heal fast." Sasuke nodded and reluctantly agreed. The jutsu seemed to him more bad then good. He'll stick with his fire jutsu then blow off his arm.
Naruto also nodded, promising to himself that he'd put that move on hold until he could get a little more control. Kakashi looked at his student and smiled, "Now here's the deal I want you all to be able to do this tree climbing in two days, reach the top of the tree and I'll tell you what," the three ninja's ears perked up. "I'll train each of you individually in something specific. An advanced training exercise, each." Kakashi looked up to Sakura, "You too Sakura you may have reached that branch, but you're already tired." Kakashi turned to walk away but looked behind his back and said, "Oh by the way think of this as a team building exercise because I'm not teaching any of you until you all can run up and down that tree to my liking! Ja ne!" And with that said, he Shunshinedaway in a swirl of leaves.
Two days later
Kakashi whistled as he strolled to where his students should be training. As he reached the clearing he was a bit surprised to see no one there, but his musing were cut off as three kunai landed in front of him. Smirking to himself, Kakashi looked up and saw Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto each on top of their own respected trees.
"So sensei I think we may be ready for that extra training."
Nanashi: Yo Nananshi here. Sooooo sorry for the late late LATEEE update. You learn as you get older that it's harder and harder to write. But now that I have more time I should be able to pull out chapter five very, very soon. So to all readers and potential readers…Gomen! Oh and sorry to you Naruto gang.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura hold swords ready to pounce.
Naruto: You will die if you don't bring out another chapter soon.
Sasuke and Sakura: We must not be forgotten!
Screams fill the air as Kakashi reads his book.
Kakashi: Read, review, and help make it so our author doesn't die. Thank ya and good night!
