Chapter 6

Oddities of Power part 2

"You cant talk your way out of this one Naruto, tell me!" Sakura yelled moving forward to grab Naruto.

"Zabuza, you should tell Haku to stand down before my clone does more harm. Gato will be here soon. Sakura-Hime Kaka-Sensei could you two set up a Gen-Justu to make it look like we are just finishing the fights? And Hime, I promise I will tell you later." Naruto lectured trying to get everything set out.

Sakura began the foundation of the Gen-Jutsu while Kakashi modified it to add the detail.

Soon Naruto, Kakashi, Sakura, Zabuza, and Haku were standing watching Gato shout at the empty space where the Gen-Jutsu them just after the fight. Zabuza simply walked over to Gato with a Kunai in hand and gashed off the small mans head, effectively stopping the illusion in the process.

The mercenaries began to back away after words only to drop seemingly dead in a domino effect spreading from Zabuza.

"Frail humans, cant even take a little killing intent." Zabuza said looking around the piles of unconscious 'warriors'.

"What will you have of us now, Konoha? Clearly you have won, what is to be our fate?" Haku asked looking to Kakashi.

Said Jonin glanced down to Naruto who only shrugged as a reply. 'Guess Naruto's path was different from this one.' Kakashi thought to himself.

"Well our true mission was to keep Tazuna safe from Gato. Seeing as you effectively have done that, we can not call you enemies." Kakashi stated pulling his forehead protector down over his eye before just sitting down. "You are free to walk whenever you please. Just know if you try to interfere with our mission we will terminate any threat." Kakashi finished with a glare at Zabuza.

"Now Naruto you cant avoid the question any more explain wha-…" Sakura stopped seeing Naruto begin to falter on his feet.

"Eh heh… still not used to it yet…. I guess…" was all Naruto said before collapsing face first where he stood.

Naruto slowly opened his eyes, looking around he saw that he was laying in a bed in Tazuna's house once again.

'Hey fox, are you still sleeping?'

'Yes…'

'"Liar." Naruto said glaring at the ceiling.

"At least one thing hasn't changed about you, still no tact." Kakashi said from the window next to Naruto's bed. "Talking out loud like that is a quick way to get you discovered."

"Yeah… still maybe they should know. Eh maybe not though. I would rather them figure it out on their own. But maybe they would see it as a form of trust if I told them. But then they might think I'm weird… er… or maybe they would think I'm cool. Too many choices, Sensei what do you think I should do?" Naruto asked after his rant.

"Personally?" Kakashi asked with an eye smile, "I think you should learn to be more observant." Kakashi said pointing to the door of the room where a familiar pink Ninja stood. Naruto froze turning white as his eyes locked with hers.

"Eh, Sakura-Hime, where is Teme-Chan?" Naruto asked trying to play off hoping she didn't hear what he had just said.

"Still recovering, not all of us have your freaky healing ability. Now be truthful with me Naruto, you don't really have a Kekkei Genkai, do you?" Sakura asked causing Naruto to shake his head in response. "Is it that you just don't trust us that you are so hesitant to tell?" Sakura asked causing Naruto to look down to his lap again shaking his head no. "Then why wont you tell us?" she demanded.

Naruto just stared down, not daring look up in fear of meeting Sakura's stair. After a few minutes of thought Naruto finally responded, "I'm sorry… I'm just not ready yet."

Hey everyone! Sorry for the long wait!

I moved and I just got internet, so cant really load anything with no net right?

Anyways here is… well more of a teaser chapter. Just know I will be coming out with these more often, except full chapters…

So review, and yes I know this chapter already sucks but I ran out of ideas for the mist, when they get back to Konoha my ideas pick up again…

Thank you!
