How funny Zabuza, The demon of the mist beaten by a bunch of brats, I guess you are just a baby demon." Came a snarky voice. As the fog cleared they saw an irritating gnome stood there, a cocky grin adorning his face. Behind him were three hundred bandits.
"Gato what are you doing here," said an irritated and alarmed zabuza, "You see Zabuza, you missing nins are so expensive, for half your price i was able to get all of these men." His grin got wider. " Kill them, but keep the girls, especially Zabuza's brat i could have some fun with her.
Naruto walked to the front lines fully recovered. " Can you fight Zabuza." He said monotonously, " Perfectly well kid you ready to have some fun." Zabuza said both excited over the sound of a fight, and angry at the comment towards the person he considered to be his daughter. He held his fist in the air and Naruto slamed the back of his into it. "Yes, ot also gives me the chance to test this new power I seem to have acquired." With that they ran into the fray. Zabuza cleaving bodies in two left and right, but Naruto was even more terrifyingHe wasn't like a demon, apparently he couldn't change into that form at will yet. Yet still he was running through, hands covered in white flame and red lightning, every time he punched someone they exploded in a mess of blood and bones, causing both Sai and Yakumo to throw up over the side of the bridge. Eventually the one sided fight came to an end. They were all dead tje only one left was Gato, whou was quaking in fear. A puddle getting slowly bigger beneath him. Zabuza walked up to him. "Time to die Gato," Zabuza said viciously as he split him in two down the middle.
The grotesque seen was broken by the sound of cheering. On the other side of the bridge was the entirety of wave. All left alive on the bridge stood at attendance accepting the cheers with relish, they knew it was finally over, this nightmare had come to an end though more were sure to appear in the near future.
"Zabuza can you do something about this bridge." Hayate said. Zabuza was shaken out of the shock cause by people thanking him instead of cursing him. " Oh yeah sure, Great waterfall" He called the pressure disintegrated the corpses on the bridge, With that done they made there way to Tazunas house, the villagers clearing a path for them.
"So Zabuza, what are you going to do now." Hayate asked. "Well me and Haku will need to take another job, we still need money to make another attempt to end the blood line purges." Zabuza said his shoulders dropping over the loss of his home. "Zabuza, the civil war ended not too long ago, the new Mizukage killed Yagura." Hayate. " New Mizukage, who?" Said a Zabuza shocked that he did not hear about this sooner. "One Mei Terumi i believe." Responded Hayate. "MEI SHE'S STILL ALIVE!" Shouted Zabuza causing everything to stop. "Sorry to leave so soon, but we have to get to Mist. Come on Haku, we are going home, Naruto i want a rematch one
day," He said as he and Haku ran off.
The following week passed quickly, during which Team Hayate found Gato's hide out and returned all the profit to the town and being given there cut for the A rank mission. Business was already booming and the town was beginning to prosper again. Naruto had already bought a load of sake, to last him ages. Finally the bridge was completed, that is where we find team Hayate now. The bridge was massive, Six statues lined the bridge. Those of team Hayate and Zabuza and Haku, Each with a golden plate with there name on it. The entrance to the bridge read,'The Bridge Of Hope, In dedication to the heroes of wave', Currently they were being saying there goodbyes to wave, Naruto was crouched in front of Inari. "Will you come to visit Naruto." Inari asked. "I don't know if i will be able too, but remember, protect your family, they need you." After all was said and done they left, to return to Konoha.
"Hmm it seems you had a rough mission, I assume you have already got your pay." Said Minato, masking his shock incredibly. Team Hayate nodded. "Very well then go home and get some rest. Naruto can I talk to you."
Naruto stayed in his seat, whilst the others left to get some rest.
"You holding up okay,I know first kills can be rough." Minato said. "I'm okay tou-san, I did it because i had to," He responded, causing Minato to nod his head. "Well if you ever need anything just tell me.". "Tou-san, I want you to know, i am moving out." Minato was shocked for a moment, but he knew why. "Do what you feel you need to soichi.","Thank you, please don't tell them, I wish to prove a point." He said spitting out them with venom. Minato nodded though he was inwardly worried about how Naruto referred to the test of his family. "Okay Soichi." He said felling now wasn't the best time to bring anything up.
Naruto packed everything he had up and left the following morning, already having a flat picked out, the transaction was easy and it was set up in record time, he lay down on his bed and the one thought going through his head was, "I am free" When Naruto opened up his eyes he saw it was already twelve, he went to make lunch when he realized he had no food. "Damn it", he whispered as he left to get what he required.
On his return home he heard a whimper coming from an ally way by his complex, setting his food on the counter he went to look, in the ally was a small grey and white husky puppy,' Inuzaka nin dog' he thought, on closer inspection he found it to be bleeding. Picking it up he rushed to his dads office. He skipped past the Secretary and opened the door quietly but quickly as he wanted to appear somewhat well mannered.
Inside he found team 7 begging Minato for a C-rank mission. "No, you are not prepared." Out of the corner of his eye he saw Naruto. "Naruto I'm in a meeting." Hearing this team seven turned sneering at him except for Kakashi who couldn't care less. "This is more important then fools whining hokage-sama." Hearing this they recoiled as if struck. "How dare you talk about me like that. " Kushina said trying to intimidate him. Naruto just ignored her. "I need directions to the Inuzaka compound, hurry I don't want him to die." He said showing the injured pup to his dad."Okay From the door, turn left go to the wall then turn right and follow the wall you will get there eventually." He said quickly, Naruto disappeared in a swirl of leaves. Minato sighed as team 7 started ranting again.
Naruto ran to the Inuzaka compound at top speed. Arriving he spoke to the guards. "You have to let me in," He showed them the injured puppy, "Oh god, It's near the entrance kid hurry." The taller one said said once Naruto had entered, "Alert Tsume, tell her to go to the vet. Opening the door he saw a girl maybe one year older than himself, at the desk looking panicked about something, She had the red fang markings on her cheeks, which are present on all Inuzaka, her hair was brown and much less wild than Inuzakas he had met before "This dog needs treatment, now." He called getting her attention. "OH MY GOD!" The girl called running to the injured husky pup. She snatched it from Naruto accidentally slamming into him in the process before running off." Naruto was on his back dazed confused to what had happened, when the door opened. "What are you doing down there pup," Came the cheerful voice of the clan head. "Come on up ya get." She said helping him up. Once up he dusted himself off, when he heard. "Wait, you are Minato's eldest right, Naruto is it." She asked,wondering what the son" Yes that would be me." He said calmly. "And what are you doing here." She asked again. "Found an injured husky pup, it was an Inuzaka pup i brought it here as fast as i could." Tsume was satisfied with the answers she received for the time being, 'A husky pup, who could that belong to...uh oh' Tsume thought when she heard.
"YOU" When Naruto looked up he saw the girl from earlier charging at him. 'What the hell' he thought' right as she jumped at him, Tsume caught her. "Why did you here my dog, how could you." She screamed hysterically. "I didn't do anything." He replied. "I brought him here as quickly as i could when i found him.", "So you didn't hurt him." Hana sniffled, "No" The next he knew he was caught in a bone crushing hug. "Thank you, thank you thank you." She said her mood completely changing. 'What is happening.' Naruto thought, not being used to being touched.
Tsume, seeing Naruto's plight decided to save him. "Hana get off the poor boy." Tsume said chuckling, Hana immediately let go, embarrassed. "Hey Naruto why don't you join us for lunch." Tsume said. "I insist.". And with that they made there way to the clan compound. "So Naruto," Tsume said, i see your swords, is your mother teaching you kenjutsu,","No i developed my own style and taught myself," he said shocking the two, "Ah I see well have they taught you any jutsu they have very strong wind and water affinities.","I have neither of there affinities, not that they are aware off this fact, now if you would can we please switch topics. He said, taking a small bite out of his sandwiches," having been given conformation he continued.
"Hana, what caused your dogs injuries." He said seriously. "Hana gulped. "They were caused by a kunai." She said looking at the table. Tears in her eyes. "What" Tsume yelled. Shocked and angered by this discovery. ""Calm down Tsume, I can go talk to the hokage with you. but you need to keep calm." Naruto said. Once peace had returned to the table they ate making idle chit chat when they heard a bang, followed by stomping, "HEY MUM IS LUNCH READY" Kiba yelled walking into the kitchen. "What the hell is the masked freak doing here." He shouted again.
"Kiba don't talk about him that way, if it wasn't for him one of the haimaru brothers would be dead." Tsume said. "So what he's still a failure, after all he lost both clan heir titles to the superior siblings."Kiba said snobbishly.
"Tsume can we go see the hokage now." Naruto said not wanting to cause a row among a family. With that they left leaving an irritated kiba and confused akamaru behind.
The council was summoned, one side was the civilian council greedy sniffling fools in Naruto's opinion. Note worthy members including Danzo, the power hungry warhawk as well as Homura and Koharu, the teamates of the third hokage, and ninjas of vast knowledge, though sometimes they can be misguided, in Naruto's opinion.
Then there where the ninja council. This included the clan heads and heirsof all of Konohas prominat clans. Fugaku with Itachi, Tsume with Hana, Inoichi with Ino, Choza with Choji, Shibi with Shino, Shikaku with Shikamaru, Hiashi with Hinata, Taiza with Yakumo, and finally Kushina with Menma and Natsuki. Snobbish expressions adorning the faces. At the front was Minato, Naruto was hidden in the shadows.
"Why have we been called here Hokage-sama" Called a random member of the civilian council. All present nodded there heads all wanting an answer as this was an emergency meeting, something that did not happen often. "Dear council, I have called you here for a very serious matter." The hokage said, seriously, hiding his anger excellently, "An Inuzaka nin dog was found almost dead within our walls today, and not just any dog this dog belonged to the clan heir." The room exploded in angry and scared whispers. Nobody could believe what they had heard. The hokage was about to calm them down when they heard.
"You called us down here for this, it only a stupid mutt." Menma shouted angrily. Annoyed that his day was ruined for this. "This made the Inuzakas angry, "What was that you stupid brat i'll kill you." Tsume shouted. but both her and Hana were stopped by other clan heads. "Thats what i thought. Menma said, before he was hoisted a few feet into the air by his neck line. "It would be appreciated if you did not insult the clan heads, this is after all a serious situation." Came an emotionless voice he knew well, "What are you doing here. This meeting is for clan heads and heirs only." Menma said snobbishly. Naruto just dropped him, and walked in front of the hokage. "I am sorry for getting involved hokage-sama" Naruto said bowing. "It's okay Naruto. Now you may be wondering why Naruto is here, he was the one who found the pup and saved his life.", this shocked most people therr, after all very few of them had heard of naruto before. "Yes i found th pup to be injured and took him to the inuzaka vet right away. But the main point is that the injuries, were caused by a kunai. One of our ninjas attacked an ally with the intent to kill, this is a grave situation." Naruto explained. "Thank you naruto that is all."The hokage said. Naruto left the council, the voices rising in anger behind him, as they made plans to find the criminal.
