The Yellow Flash of Kiri
Chapter 6: Decisions
Thank you all for reviewing; it is mainly because of your reviews that I got the inspiration to write this chapter. I am currently having a bit of writers block for More than a ninja, but for some reason this story is suddenly easy to write. Rest assured that I will never abandon my stories and I will get the new chapter out soon. I hope :P. Enough talking, please enjoy:
Tazuna's house…
The six ninja were just about ready to leave for the bridge. They just finished a delicious meal, curtsey of Tsunami, and were ready for anything. Naruto and Chojuro mentally prepared themselves for whatever decision Zabuza was going to make. If he said no, they would respect that decision and inform him that the Kiri-hunters would resume their chase within the week. If he said yes, Naruto and Chojuro would personally escort him back to mist, where he would be reinstated as a Jonin. They both knew that they would have to kill Gato either way.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu…" Naruto whispered under his breath as three clones appeared next to him. "You guys watch the house. We should be back by sunset." Naruto ordered as the clones nodded. The blond then nodded towards Kakashi as the group of six ninja and one civilian started off at a slow pace towards the bridge. Naruto gazed down at his unscathed arm. His own healing abilities still astounded him. Last night his arm had been a mess of second and first degree burns, but today there wasn't a scratch on there. Naruto could sense a steady chakra output, not unlike the feeling of the Hidden Mist jutsu. He immediately turned to Chojuro, who nodded back, already feeling it himself. They understood that Kakashi wouldn't have felt it because he wasn't used to the jutsu like they were.
They group soon arrived to see the bridge covered in a thick mist. The mist cleared to reveal all of Tazuna's workers lying unconscious. Kakashi immediately whipped out a kunai and stood defensively in front of Tazuna.
"Come out. I know you're there Zabuza!" Kakashi announced. Two silhouettes began to appear out of the mist until Zabuza and the hunter nin were standing in front of the group. "Team: Defensive position!" Kakashi yelled. The three genin immediately surrounded the bridge builder, kunai drawn and ready for battle. Zabuza started to lightly chuckle. He turned to the two mist-nin.
"Hello Chojuro. Fancy meeting you here?" The Demon of the mist chuckled. Chojuro gazed right back into his eyes, unflinching.
"Have you made a decision?" The unusually bold man asked.
"Yes. I will come back, on one condition. Prove to me that you can best me in a fight." Zabuza smirked. He was confident he could defeat Chojuro, the demon of the mist knew what day it was. Chojuro all of a sudden paled. He knew that he couldn't fight Zabuza. The shy man was not very confident in his abilities but he knew was a strong fighter…he also believed he could beat Zabuza on a normal day. Chojuro glanced wearily back at his blade. On the third day of every month, Hiramekarei would lose its abilities. It was a strange thing, but all the swords of the Seven Swordsmen, the ones with abilities of course, would lose their abilities one day every month to recharge. Unfortunately for Chojuro, Zabuza knew today was Hiramekarei's day.
"You know I'm no match for you today…" Chojuro sighed. His eyes immediately widened as an idea dawned on him. A devilish smirk formed on the young man's face. "…But Naruto just might be!" Chojuro voiced his thoughts. Naruto widened his eyes in shock before a hard look of determination appeared on his handsome visage. Zabuza started to openly laugh at this.
"That's rich! You think some snot-nosed punk, no older than 14, could best me in a fight?! You honestly overestimate him or underestimate me." Zabuza mocked loudly. Naruto smirked.
"So you think this will be a piece of cake? Prove it." Naruto challenged. Zabuza shook his head in amusement.
"I would back down now. You're not good enough to play with the big kids." Zabuza mocked. Jonin or not, no kid would be able to beat him. Naruto merely glared back.
"So if I win, you come back with us…what do you get if you win?" Naruto asked. Zabuza grinned under his bandages.
"Smart boy. When I win you will pay me the equivalent to what Gato would pay me for the Bridge builders head, or give me the bridge builder." Chojuro looked uneasy.
"How much, exactly, was Gato planning on paying you?" The swordsmen asked wearily.
"10 million ryo." Chojuro gasped. There was no way they could pay that much…not after the war just ended. Naruto's face morphed into one of pure determination. Chojruo looked over at his companion, obviously uneasy.
"Don't worry Chojuro-nii-san…I won't lose." Naruto stated. Naruto knew he would have to go all out to win this battle. It was a good thing he had recently finished his new jutsu. Zabuza smirked and motioned for Haku to leave. The young girl looked uneasy but soon walked over to the side of the bridge.
"What about us?" Kakashi asked.
"Stay out of this." Was the reply from both Naruto and Zabuza. The two swordsmen stood across from each other. Their eyes gazed into each other. Cold brown gazed into icy blue. Both fighters stood unmoving for what seemed like an eternity, until in a single second a gust of wind blew by. The shinobi disappeared in bursts of speed before a loud clang was heard. The Kubikiri Houcho met in a deadlock of strength with the Kazeyaiba. Naruto growled as Zabuza pushed him back steadily with his superior strength. The young blond smirked as he held out his right hand.
"Wind palm Jutsu!" Naruto yelled as he thrust his hand forward. The blast of wind slammed into the older man, sending him flying through the air. Zabuza grinned as he flipped backwards, landing on his feet, unharmed.
"Nifty trick you got there. It isn't everyday you see a wind user, especially from Kiri. But now we are in my turf. Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Jutsu!" Zabuza formed a single hand sign as a deep blanket of mist clouded all view in the area. Naruto growled. He was decent at silent killing, better than most. But he was up against the master. Zabuza was known throughout the land as the Demon of the Mist, not only because he hailed from Kirigakure, but for his unparalleled mastery of the hidden mist jutsu and silent killing. Naruto knew he was no match for the man in this field. So he decided to change it to his advantage. A huge burst of wind expelled from the young boy's body, blowing away all of the mist in the area. Naruto immediately gasped as Zabuza was no where to be seen. He instinctively threw himself to the side, barely avoiding decapitation at the hands of Zabuza's monster blade.
"That wind is really starting to get annoying!" Zabuza growled as he started a set of hand seals. Naruto paled as he immediately recognized the seals. He started a set of his own. The two warriors flashed through hand signs at alarming speeds. They both finished at the same time.
"Water release: Water Dragon Jutsu!" Zabuza yelled as an enormous water dragon burst through the surface of the water.
"Wind release: Divine Blast!" Naruto yelled as a tiger made of wind shimmered to life out of no where. The tiger easily trumped the dragon in size.
Kakashi widened his eyes in shock. 'He knows that jutsu? That's an S-rank wind jutsu! Even I don't know that!' The mighty tiger let out a deafening roar as it easily tore through the dragon and sailed towards Zabuza at high speeds. Zabuza's eyes widened in shock as dove out of the way. He smirked as the tiger was about to destroy the bridge. The jutsu would easily collapse the entire bridge. Naruto looked apathetically as he put his hands into a ram seal. The divine beast immediately dispersed until it was no more than a small breeze. Now it was Zabuza's turn to stare. This boy's control over the element of wind made Haku's control of ice look mediocre at best.
Naruto and Zabuza landed across from each other, both panting. Naruto flashed a grin at Zabuza. The nuke-nin grinned back under his mask. He hadn't had this much fun in a long time. Naruto disappeared in a burst of speed that shocked even Zabuza. The boy was obviously faster than him, though he was positive he had him beat in the strength department. Metal hit metal as sparks flew from the two blades currently in another deadlock. Zabuza pushed as much chakra as he could to his arms and knocked the blade out of Naruto's hands.
"Not so tough now are you?" Zabuza mocked. Naruto growled as he unsheathed Ryuken. The blade ignited into flame as Naruto charged forward. Zabuza barely had time to block the flaming blade as the superheated metal crashed into his own. The ex-mist-nin was lucky Kubikiri Houcho was made out of indestructible steel or he was sure the force behind the blade of fire would have destroyed his respective sword. Zabuza pushed the younger boy back as he jumped backwards.
"Fire too? Just what are you?" Zabuza questioned through pants.
"My name is Terumi Naruto. Remember it." Zabuza's eyes widened in shock. Terumi Naruto…Mei had a son? No wonder he was so strong. Naruto started a set of seals before he took a deep breath.
"Fire release: Fire Dragon Bullet Jutsu!" Naruto yelled as he exhaled a dragon of fire. The dragon sped towards Zabuza, intent on ending the fight. The dragon crashed into Zabuza, but instead of it burning white hot, it dispersed into steam. The steam lifted to reveal Zabuza with a protective water wall around him. Zabuza grinned before he felt a chakra signature behind him. He turned to see the blond running towards him at breakneck speeds. Zabuza barely caught a glimpse of a blue ball in the boy's hand.
"Rasengan!" Naruto yelled as he trusted his palm towards the unsuspecting missing-nin. Zabuza's eyes widened in shock.
'I don't have time to dodge!' Zabuza thought as he made a last ditch effort and stuck his unbreakable sword in front of him. The swirling ball of chakra grinded against the large metal sword as sparks flew wildly. Zabuza smirked, thinking his sword would be enough to stop the attack. He was sadly mistaken as the Rasengan eventually snapped the large sword like a twig. The force of the extra energy sent Zabuza flying backwards. The masked-nin would have flown off the edge if it wasn't for the timely intervention of Haku.
Zabuza growled as he stood up again. Looking apathetically at the useless weapon he threw it to the side and charged toward Naruto in a blind frenzy. Naruto smirked. When a ninja was angry, he made more mistakes. Zabuza attempted to plow his fist into the blonde's face, but was stopped short as Naruto blocked the fist and sweep kicked Zabuza's feet from under him. The demon of the mist grunted as he pushed himself to his feet. He noticed a flash of silver out of the corner of his eyes and turned to see Naruto's blade, Kazeyaiba.
"Hmm…you should take better care of these, kid." Zabuza mocked as he picked up the sword. Immediately blades of wind expelled from the sword, shredding Zabuza's hand. The ex-mist-nin dropped the sword in shock as he looked at his bloody hand. "What the hell?!" Zabuza grimaced as he unwrapped the bandages from his face. He then proceeded to wrap up his bleeding hand. Naruto looked at Zabuza's unscarred face. The only abnormal thing was the long, sharp teeth, much like Chojuro's. Zabuza mentally hit a wall. Without the use of his right hand, and his sword, there was no way he could win. He couldn't use ninjutsu or kenjutsu. That left one armed Taijutsu. Every odd was against Zabuza. Zabuza's pride wouldn't allow him to give up. He flipped out a kunai and held it in a reverse grip with his left hand. Naruto held Ryuken firmly, ready to strike at any moment. The fighters were broken from their battle when they heard clapping. The eight ninja turned to see Gato surrounded by no less than 100 men.
"What is the meaning of this Gato?" Zabuza growled.
"Hmm! I was never going to pay you anyway! You see you missing-nin are so expensive, but I can't hire ninja from villages—they would never do the kind of jobs I need done. I decided that I would just hire a missing-nin, and have a group of bandits take them out when the job is done. I guess there's more ninja then I expected…" Gato trailed off, looking at the unscathed Konoha team. "…No matter, 100 bandits should be more than enough to deal with five kids and three adults." Gato sneered. Zabuza growled as he gripped the kunai so hard his knuckles turned white. Naruto grinned.
"I'll take them all on by myself!" Zabuza yelled out as he prepared to charge. He was stopped by Naruto's hand on his shoulder.
"You're in no condition to fight off this many men—even you wouldn't live. I've got just the jutsu for this." Naruto explained. The demon of the mist grudgingly nodded his head and stepped back. Naruto closed his eyes and held out his palm. Soon a ball of fire shimmered to life in Naruto's hand. The fire was soon surrounded by a cocoon of swirling wind. Kakashi's eyes widened for what seemed like the umpteenth time this fight. Fire and wind were naturally unable to mix—either Naruto had found a way to do it—or he was somehow keeping the two different types of chakra to mix.
"You see Gato—fire and wind can't naturally mix—the wind would just superheat the fire and it would explode. I found that using exceptional control I can keep the two elements from mixing while the technique is in my palm. Once the jutsu leaves my palm, however…" Naruto grinned as he lobbed the ball towards the group.
"Common guys charge! He's bluffing!" Gato yelled as he took a few steps back. The ball went sailing into the crowd, shredding everybody it hit. Just when they thought it was over…the fire and wind chakra mixed.
"Wind and Fire release: Super Nova!" Naruto yelled over the loud winds of his technique. The ball all of a sudden glowed a bright white before it exploded in every direction. What used to be a small army of bandits—was now a lake of blood and gore. Almost every bandit was dead, and the ones who weren't wished they were. The few survivors were covered in third degree burns—the only thing making them recognizable was their disfigured faces.
Zabuza's eyes widened. He now knew that despite the blond boy's young age…Naruto was easily stronger than him. The only thing that kept the nuke-nin alive was that his opponent didn't go for lethal blows. Zabuza looked to see Gato lying in a pool of his own blood. He was almost disfigured beyond recognition. Zabuza smirked as he appeared before the shorter man.
"This is why you never double-cross the demon of the mist." Zabuza grinned maniacally as he stomped with all his might and Gato's head exploded in a bath of blood under the pressure. Naruto grimaced. It was a very brutal way to kill someone no doubt.
Naruto turned back to Zabuza. "Where were we?" Zabuza merely shook his head.
"I know now that I can't win. Not only am I without the use of my right hand—but my sword as well. I give up." Naruto flashed Zabuza a grin before his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he fell backwards. Before Naruto could contact the ground he was caught by Haku. Haku looked into the eyes of this boy—no this man—who had singlehandedly beaten Zabuza and killed a group of over 100 bandits afterwards.
"Is he ok?" Sakura gasped out. Kakashi nodded.
"Yes. I think he is just suffering from chakra exhaustion. He not only used two A-rank jutsu, but two S-ranks as well. The adrenaline is probably just wearing down." Kakashi confirmed. Chojuro nodded and took Naruto out of Haku's hands.
Zabuza collapsed onto his knee. "I think I need to rest as well…" The group nodded and they left back to Tazuna's house with two extra companions.
Tazuna's house-next morning…
Naruto awoke from his sleep at the sound of the door creaking open. He turned to see what he assumed was the hunter-nin from before. He noticed with a blush how beautiful she was. He went from her soft brown eyes, to her slightly pale face, down to her shapely body…at this point Naruto shook his head, not wanting to get any ideas.
"Good morning." Haku greeted. Naruto nodded his head in recognition. "We haven't properly met. My name is Haku." The older girl smiled. Naruto's face turned bright red at this.
"I-I'm Naruto—Terumi Naruto." The blond responded with a grin of his own. Haku couldn't help but notice the blonde's boyish good looks. "I know your not here to just say good morning…" Naruto raised a single eyebrow. Haku nodded.
"I wanted to know…how it is you're so strong…" Haku admitted.
Naruto's smile turned into a look of complete seriousness. "I'm strong because I train—everyday."
"You seem strong enough already…why is it you keep training?" Haku wondered.
"It's because I'm not strong enough. I need to be strong if I am to fulfill my dream." Naruto responded sagely.
"And what exactly is your dream?" Haku wondered.
"My dream used to be the Mizukage, and although I still wouldn't mind being it—it isn't my real dream anymore. My dream is to become strong enough so I can protect everyone important to me, everyone in the mist village." Haku closed her eyes in thought.
"So I take it you have many precious people?" Naruto nodded. "Good." With this Haku took her leave.
'If you really want me to befriend this boy Zabuza-sama…I will.'
Flashback…
Haku stood next to Zabuza's bed. The demon of the mist was sitting down on his bed in thought.
"Haku." Zabuza stated, breaking the silence.
"Yes?" The young female answered. Zabuza took a breath in.
"I want you to befriend this Naruto." Haku blinked a few times.
"May I ask why?" Haku pondered.
"Because I said so, need I a reason?" Zabuza narrowed his eyes. Haku immediately shook her head.
"Of course not, Zabuza-sama. I will do what you wish." Haku answered as she left. Mentally she was still wondering what that was all about.
'Haku…I thought you would finally question me…I guess I really did go too far with you…I hope I'm right and this Naruto will be able to sway you from your beliefs…' Zabuza thought with a sigh.
Flashback end…
Naruto yawned as he shook his head. He really didn't know what that was all about. The girl—Haku—just walked in and asked him a question, then left. He decided some things were better left they way they were as he silently got dressed.
Unnamed Bridge, 3 days later.
The bridge was finally done, thanks to the help of the blond boy and his shadow clones. Tazuna grinned as he looked at his masterpiece. All it needed was a name. All the ninja were gathered at the gate…all but Naruto and Kakashi.
Back at the house…
"You wanted to talk with me?" Naruto asked towards the lazy jonin. Kakashi nodded as he snapped his book shut.
"How is it you know the Rasengan?" The copy-nin asked. Naruto's eyes narrowed.
"Does it matter?" Kakashi glared into the younger boy's eyes.
"Yes it does. The Rasengan was a sacred jutsu of Konoha—of my teacher." Kakashi was interrupted by Naruto at this point.
"You mean my father?" Naruto asked. Kakashi nodded slowly.
"That still doesn't explain how you know it." Naruto inwardly cursed. He couldn't tell Kakashi how he knew it—or risk war with Konoha. He also knew he couldn't just say he reinvented it. Or could he?
"I recreated it." Naruto answered bluntly. Kakashi's eyes narrowed.
"Bull shit. That jutsu took my sensei three years to create. There's no way you could recreate it in less." Naruto's finger itched closer to his sheath.
"Are you calling me a liar?" Kakashi's hand rose up towards his headband.
"Possibly." The tension was so thick you could cut it with a kunai.
"Naruto! Hatake! Enough!" The two were broke from their heated argument as Chojuro and Zabuza stood lazily in the doorway. Naruto hmphed as he turned on his heel and stormed away.
"Hatake…it would do you good not to threaten Naruto. He isn't as patient as I am." Chojuro glared as he and Zabuza disappeared in body flickers. Kakashi sighed as he palmed his forehead.
"What have I done? I may have just made an enemy I shouldn't have…for my sake…and Konoha's…"
Back at the bridge…
Naruto arrived shortly after Zabuza and Chojuro. He didn't seem to be in a good mood. Kakashi soon arrived as well. Tazuna noticed absentmindedly that the two elite jonin wouldn't make eye contact with each other.
"I can't thank you guys enough for what you've done. Now that Gato is gone and we have our bridge—Wave will be free again! I promise I will pay Konoha with the sum of an A-rank mission when wave gets enough money." Tazuna then turned to the mist-nin. "How much do I owe you guys?" He asked.
"Nothing. Consider it a favor for a neighbor. All Kiri asks is permission to trade through wave." Chojuro answered.
"Consider it done!" Tazuna shouted as he shook the swordsman's hand. "Thank you so much."
"No problem." Chojuro answered as he and Naruto took of, followed by Haku and Zabuza. They were expected back in Kiri in a few days, so they would have to go fast. Zabuza lazily held a scroll in his hand. Inside the scroll were the two parts of the Kubikiri Houcho. He would have to get it fixed back in Kiri.
"Now all we need is a name…" Tazuna trailed off before a knowing look plastered onto his face. "I know! The Bridge of Water and Fire, because if it wasn't for Fire country and Water country, we wouldn't be here right now!" Tazuna shouted as the rest of the village roared in approval.
Mizukage's office…
Mei was lazily sorting through papers in her office. By her standards—it was way too early to be awake, much less sorting through paperwork. Her sharp ears perked up at the sound of footsteps through the hard wooden door. She immediately recognized the chakra signature of Naruto and Chojuro and let her guard down.
"Come in." Mei called before Chojuro even knocked on the door. The group proceeded in and Mei smiled at her adopted son. Her eyes softened when she saw Zabuza.
"I trust the mission went well?" Mei asked, suddenly all business.
"Yes. Gato is dead." Naruto answered. Mei turned to the young girl with Zabuza. Immediately rage flared to life in Mei until she noticed the cold exterior in her eyes. She looked deeper and noticed that inside of the young girl was a soft and caring person; exposed to the cruel world of the shinobi. She could tell that this girl wasn't romantically involved with Zabuza, more so a tool to be used at his whim.
"Zabuza…who is your friend?" Mei asked.
"This is Haku." Zabuza answered.
"Hello Haku-san." Mei greeted. Haku nodded.
"Greetings Mizukage-sama. It is a pleasure to be here today." Haku answered.
"Naruto…you and Haku need to leave. I need to talk to Chojuro and Zabuza alone." Mei instructed Naruto nodded. "Why don't you two get to know each other better?" Mei suggested.
"Okay. I guess I can treat Haku-san to some food. How about it?" Naruto asked. Haku blushed deeply. She had never been on anything that could even remotely be considered a date. She shook her head. This wasn't a date; it was merely a way to get to know each other better. No matter how much she tried to convince herself, she couldn't get the blush to go away. Haku turned to Zabuza.
"May I Zabuza-sama?" Haku asked. Zabuza sneered.
"You don't need to ask me about this. You're a big girl now." Zabuza answered. Haku nodded and walked out the door with Naruto. Mei immediately activated the silencing jutsu.
"Zabuza. I brought you here to offer you a position I think you'll like very much." Mei said.
"What is that?" Zabuza questioned apathetically.
"I want you and Chojuro to recreate the seven swordsmen of the mist." Mei answered. Chojuro's eyes widened in shock. Zabuza merely raised a single eyebrow. "Of course Chojuro would be the first seat, seeing as how he stayed loyal to Kiri throughout it all. Zabuza you would be the second seat and you two would recommend other members to join." Mei explained. After a long silence Zabuza eventually nodded his head.
"That would be acceptable. I accept your offer Mei." Zabuza answered. A part of Mei was peeved that Zabuza didn't address her as Mizukage-sama, but she knew Zabuza was never one for formality.
"I accept as well Mizukage-sama." Chojuro answered.
"Good…now do you have any recommendations for other members?" The Mizukage asked pleasantly. Chojuro immediately went to speak, only to be cut off by Zabuza.
"I nominate Terumi Naruto." Zabuza stated bluntly. Mei raised an eyebrow and turned to Chojuro.
"I second that nomination." Chojuro confirmed. Mei nodded her head.
"It's official. Terumi Naruto is now the third seat of the seven swordsmen of the mist." Mei stated as she stamped a paper. She grinned as she reminded herself that in a few weeks time, she was going to publically announce the Namikaze clan's reestablishment in Kiri. Mei decided it was best to wait until Kiri and Kumo were formally allied, incase Iwa decided to try something. She knew that even the hidden rock wouldn't be foolish enough to take on the combined forces of Kumo and Kiri. Especially since the two villages had a total of four Jinchuriki.
With Naruto…
Naruto and Haku walked slowly through the village streets. Naruto glanced out of the corner of his eyes at the girl next to him. He didn't know about her, but this silence was bothering him.
"So…Where were you from? How did you meet Zabuza?" Naruto asked, trying to break the silence. Haku's eyes immediately glanced downwards. She was obviously remembering bad times.
"I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to bring up bad things…You don't have to tell me." Naruto trailed off.
"It's okay…I was born in a small village in northern water country. I lived with my parents until I was six years old…I didn't know this back then…but my mother was originally from a clan that fled Kiri early on in the bloodline genocide. My mother fled and married a normal man, a farmer, in a small village. They were happy for years. One day…I discovered my bloodline—the ice release—the reason my mother is dead." At this point tears were sliding freely down Haku's face. The two were sitting on a bench. "I found out and I showed my mother…she slapped me and told me never to do that again. The next day I came home to find my mother dead. My father then tried to kill me…claiming I was some kind of freak….I did the only thing I could--" Haku wiped the tears from her face. "—I killed him. After this I fled my village. I would do anything for food…I stole, ate from garbage's, and even ate stray animals. Eventually I just decided I was better of dead. I had no purpose in the world. It was worse than death…That was when Zabuza-sama found me. He gave me a purpose—he found use for me. His use for me was…"
With Zabuza and Mei…
"…To become a living weapon, a tool for my own use." Zabuza finished his story to Mei. Mei looked angrily at Zabuza.
"You did what?! You used a little girl, someone who had lost everything in life, and shoved your beliefs onto her! How many times have I told you that shinobi are not weapons—we are human beings!" Mei shouted. Zabuza looked apathetically.
"You're wrong. A shinobi is merely a stronger version of a kunai—expendable—replaceable. Or at least that's what I used to think…Throughout all these years…Haku has become like a daughter to me. I know I don't show it. You know I'm no good at emotions and things…" Zabuza trailed off. Mei nodded. During the entire time they dated—she had not once had she ever heard the three important words.
"I know I need help to fix this. I went too far with her. She can't even speak freely anymore." Zabuza admitted.
"I know just who can fix this." Mei answered truthfully.
"Who?" Zabuza asked.
"Naruto."
Done! I hope you all liked it! It was hard to find time to write! It actually took me like six times at the computer to finish this! So I would appreciate if you would REVIEW! I love reviews! They make me want to write faster. I will now start working on More than a Ninja. Expect that to be my next update for sure. I hope you all liked the chapter, and check out the poll on my profile. It's about wither this should be a Naruto/haku, Naruto/Yugito or Naruto/Yugi/Haku.
Cya! Narutofan401.
