Emissary of Despair – This is one of the reasons I wanted to do like Ino, she has an easily written personality, while others don't, sure I could make Tenten how I want, but I would much rather just stick to the manga mostly and have the only change be Naruto and what ever if effected by him being how he is now.

Master of Anime – I like Naruto/Ino because they are so similar it makes sense… even though they say opposites attract that is very wrong, usually ends in divorce its people who are similar that stay together. Also I think that being how Naruto is, he would just yield to Ino and be like her slave who would kill anyone who insults/ tries to hurt her… just my humble opinion though. Also I don't like the harem thing, cause in r/l I'm a very loyal guy, and well it just wouldn't sound right coming out of me, it would just seem like betrayal, because I'm writing it and I hate to see shit like that.

The Forsaken Lady of Paine – my fic my reasoning, Kyuubi hates Tsunade cause she is fake, with the whole genjutsu thing hiding who she really is, end of story :P. Oh, and no, hehe.

Morbid Gecko – You people have to realize that Naruto isn't the Naruto from the manga. She liked him cause he doesn't give up, and is a good person, and reminds her of Dan and her son… Well guess what, in this fic, Iruka doesn't like Naruto… and most likely Tsunade wont either, she will probably hate him, and if it's going to be Naruto/Tsunade it is going to be the Kyuubi, reluctantly, forcing Naruto to go out with her because she's strong and would make strong kids, and she hates it, but she knows she need's strong kits to keep up a strong blood line in the future.

The platinum haired beauty in Naruto's arms had not moved since she had left Zabuza's corps. She should have known to leave Zabuza's body before she used up all her chakra. "Kurenai-sensei, who was that guy you left Zabuza's body with?" Kiba had never seen a hunter-nin before, and well, neither had Naruto. "Kiba, that man was a hunter nin, they are sent out from hidden villages to kill, and then destroy the body of missing nin's." Kurenai was still holding Tazuna up. Naruto… ugh… this old man isn't going to be able to stand on his own for a while. "Uh, Kurenai-sensei, why didn't the hunter nin destroy Zabuza's body instantly then?" Naruto thought that it was a little weird now. He should have destroyed the body…

Kurenai stopped, she froze, and her face once again became dark. "Shit…" Once again, Kohona's beauty swore. "What?" Kiba hadn't realized what had happened yet.
"… Zabuza is still alive…"
"WHAT! But the hunter nin, he hit him in the neck with those needle things…" Kiba was unconvinced, he saw him die, he saw Kurenai check to make sure that Zabuza was dead.
"… I thought it was weird that the hunter nin used needles… they are only effective if you can hit certain points on someone's body, and if you can do that… well then you can put people into death like slumbers…"
"well, then… lets go back and kill him! And that hunter-nin too." Naruto wanted to see that man's crimson life on his hands.
"No Naruto, we have to first take care of Ino… and Tazuna…" No wonder Ino is barely alive…those needles, they almost killed him… just like they almost killed Ino. The group picked up the pace once they realized Zabuza was still alive, they assumed that as long as Ino was still asleep then so would Zabuza.

"mmmm…" a barely audible moan escaped the lips of the unconscious blonde. Naruto froze Is she waking up? The girl pushed her self closer into the boy that was carrying her. Mmm… she smells good… wait! What the hell am I thinking! Naruto never had the talk, he didn't know how to act around girls, and up until recently he wasn't interested in them at all. "mm…" her body shifted slightly again. Softtt… The girl's delicate skin had rubbed up against the boy's rough arms. Naruto had never felt anything so good, he grew up with the worst stuff, he grew up with the worst of everything, and Ino's skin felt very good against his.

Ino's head flopped against his chest; she did not have any control over her body. Why can't I move! Her hair fell all over, creating a sort of veil between her self and the out side world. The long blond locks covered her in a shell of hair. Great… my hair is going to get all messed up… The girl hadn't noticed that she was being carried, or even the fact that she was moving. Wait… I'm not lying down. The first thing Ino had realized was that she was in a weird position, and her head was up against something hard, but not too hard, and it was also pretty hot. Am… am… am… I being carried! But… by who? It hadn't taken the bright girl to realize she was in someone's arms, but she didn't know who's. Ok, so it's not Sasuke, because he's not even here… Kiba… no, it doesn't smell like dog. Tazuna… no it doesn't smell like dog, and he could barely move before anyways… Naruto…NARUTO! The girl had narrowed her search down to the last male around her. The only person that could scare her, besides her parents, I hope he does not kill me…

The group of five arrived at Tazuna's house later that day. Tazuna's daughter, Tsunami wasn't too happy to have 4 more guests, but she put up with the ninja's since her father told her too. "Is she ok?" Tsunami was worried about the girl in the blond boy's arms. She hadn't moved and was pressed against the boy's chest.
"She's just exhausted, she'll be fine soon." Naruto hadn't really noticed the weight of the girl in his arms, she weighed so little, but the heat was still getting too him, nothing so warm and soft had ever been in his arms. "Is there anywhere I can put her down?" Tsunami had quickly prepared a bed for Ino, the young girl still hadn't stirred.

"AH!" It had been two days since the genin cell had fought against Zabuza, and Ino was finally awake. "Welcome back to the land of the living." Naruto had never left Ino's side since they arrived at Tazuna's, the Kyuubi wouldn't let him. "Everyone! Ino's awake!" Naruto is being so loud…
"Welcome back Ino!" The first person to arrive was Kiba. His dog instantly ran up to the girl and nuzzled her face. "…ugh…" a small moan of pain was the only thing that could escape from her lips. "… if you're awake now, then most likely Zabuza is too." Kurenai had finally arrived to see her student. Zabuza is alive? But we killed him.

3 more days had passed since Ino had awoken, she was finally back on her feet. They had a few days before Tazuna was scheduled to repair the bridge. Kurenai had thought it necessary to continue her genin's training. The three genin were forced to do the tree climbing exercise. Naruto had already completed the tree climbing exercise, and the water walking exercise, so he went off and trained on his own. The two days leading up to when they had to protect Tazuna on the bridge went by quickly. Kit, you got to finally test out your full potential. It had been a while since you had really let loose, the last time was when you learned how to release my first tail. I can't wait… blood will spill tonight.

Slowly a fog began to creep over the bridge. They're here. 'It seems like you're pathetic bodyguards are still here Tazuna…" Zabuza's voice seemed to be coming from everywhere. "Time for you to die." Suddenly Zabuza clones appeared all around the group. "Water clones… how… useless…" Naruto didn't even have to move. His canine partner and his dog quickly took care of the nuisance that was Zabuza's clones. "Come on… this isn't even fun, give me a challenge." Naruto was taunting the demon of the mist, his teammates thought he was crazy, and Zabuza thought he was stupid. "Stupid boy, you are no match for me, and you are especially not a match for my partner here." From behind the Zabuza who had appeared out of the mist a few feet from where the group stood, came a small boy. A mask covered his face and baggy robes covered the child. "You… you are the one who tricked me…" Naruto didn't like being fooled and he wouldn't fall for another trick again. "I'm sorry about that, but I needed to save Zabuza-san." By the tone of the boy's voice, you could tell that he was smiling, not in any bad way but innocently. "… and I'm also sorry that I have to kill you now." Fast…The boy quickly charged towards Naruto. Faster then I am…I guess, I'm going to need to improvise.

The boy wearing the ANBU mask easily stabbed a needle through Naruto's shoulder. "Naruto!" Kurenai was already running to try and help her student. "Did you forget you have an opponent?" Zabuza's sword easily cleaved through the body of the young woman. "KURENAI-SENSEI! I'll kill you!" The dog boy was getting ready to attack his sensei's murderer when a soft hand touched his shoulder. "Kawarimi no jutsu Kiba-kun." The woman smiled at her student, and then faced her opponent who was staring at the destroyed cinder block. "Trying to destroy my sword are you? Well, I guess if killing you will just dull its blade, I might as well kill the others then…"

A dense fog had once again rolled over the bridge, but luckily for Naruto, he and the masked boy had already battled their way far away from the fog. "You can't beat me boy…" Naruto still hadn't gotten the boy's name.
"My name is Haku, and I really think you are losing." Haku had already stabbed Naruto in multiple places. Many needles were impaled in the boy, and his tainted demon blood was slowly leaking out of him, in a trail of liquid life. Naruto still hadn't shown any signs of slowing down, even though he was still much slower then Haku was.
"I'm going to spill your blood boy…" Naruto was actually having a good time toying with his prey. This boy actually thinks he can beat me? Sure he's stabbed me a few times, but so what, no pain no gain. Once again, Haku shoved a new needle into the demon container. "I'm sorry Naruto-kun, but I'm going to need to end this quickly, Zabuza-san needs me." Haku quickly began to form hand seals. One handed… no matter, no matter what this boy does, he cannot kill me. I am a god… "Good-bye Naruto-kun."

"This will be too easy… so many targets." Zabuza was taunting his prey, he was going to have fun with this. "I think I'm going to get rid of that dog boy first." Zabuza silently ran towards Kiba, his sword held back, already prepared to cleave the young boy in half. "huh?" a kunai cut the side of the demon of the mists face. "How?"
"A dog has a better sense of smell than a humans, they don't need eyes or ears." Kiba had wanted to kill Zabuza then, but he knew his skills were no match for the s-class missing-nin's, the demon of the mist had barely had enough time to dodge the well thrown kunai, but he did. "Fine then… you're resistance is futile." The man once again ran towards Kiba, sword drawn back.

Panels of ice began to form around the two combatants. Naruto shifted into a fighting stance, he was ready for anything, or so he thought. "Sorry Naruto-kun." suddenly the other boy seemed to merge with the ice. "No one can survive my demon ice mirrors."
"Try me." Faster than the eyes can see, needles began to appear in Naruto. Damn he's fast… but he's no demon.
"I tried to warn you…" Another barrage of needles struck Naruto. The water below the demon boy's feet began to flow red. "Too bad you know nothing about me…" Naruto began to form seals even though he really didn't need too
"I won't let you use that technique!" More needles seemed to just grow out of the blond haired boy, he was helpless, stuck in a room of mirrors with nowhere to hide or go. Come on Naruto-kun… just finish this…

"AHHH!" Naruto's cries could be heard by everyone else on the battlefield.
"It seems like Haku is teaching your student something Kurenai-chan." Zabuza's sword started to come down on Kiba, ting a kunai, held in a slender hand, blocked the giant sword. "Too bad you learned nothing from your battle with Naruto, and seems like your partner didn't either. Luckily for my team we did; you see Kiba is guiding me through this fog, and Naruto, he is sadly, going to kill your student." Kurenai was smiling at the older man, he was confused, no one could defeat Haku, no one.

Naruto was kneeling, he was forced to, his body was a pincushion, but the demon boy was smiling. "Well… I guess I won't give you a chance to stop this then…" Naruto suddenly burst into red flame, the Kyuubi's chakra swirling all over the boy's body. 'But… the hand seals…" Haku was confused, he'd watched the battle he'd had with his mentor, he'd figured out everything, the boy should need hand seals.
"The hand seals are for show, I don't need them, this is just me more or less activating a blood line limit… but it's special…" The needles stuck in the blue eyed boy slowly began to remove themselves from his body as his wounds healed. "…and too bad for you, my blood line limit is stronger then yours."

Ino was trying to look strong as she stood in front of Tazuna. "Don't worry old man, we wont lose." Ino was trying to comfort the old man, he was looking worried, but mostly she was trying to comfort herself. We barely won the last time, now there are two of them… The blonde couldn't see anything, she was covered in a fog, as was everyone else, and this moisture is wreaking havoc on my hair…

The older man turned away, a kick aimed for the jounin women's head. "I don't think so! Get 'em Akamaru!" The small dog jumped and latched it self onto Zabuza's leg, his blood slowly leaking into the dogs mouth. "You think this will stop me?" The kick continued on its planned trajectory, this time the small dog was slammed into the jounin woman's head. "AKAMARU!" The dog whined as it hit into the woman's head, the dog's ribs smashing into something hard, and it's face seemed to explode, blood flew everywhere. The woman tumbled sideways, her kunai letting go of its hold on Zabuza's sword, the gigantic piece of metal once again flew towards the young dog boy who was paralyzed from the sight of his dog.

"Naruto-kun, I've seen this before…" a wave of killing intent slammed into Haku. This is different from before…Haku didn't have time to think before Naruto was upon him, the demon boy was faster than before, and he wanted to see crimson. "Come on Haku-kun, lets play." Naruto swung a punch at the Anbu masked kid, it missed but the mirror the boy was previously in was destroyed. Faster, stronger… how is it that much stronger then it was when he fought Zabuza? I think I need to end this… With kunai in hand, Haku shot him self down from the mirror directly above Naruto. "I don't think so Haku…"

Kiba barely had enough time to get out of the way before the large sword came crashing down where his body used to be. "Kurenai, if you are going to get hit like that, tell me next time!" Although this was a real battle, the dog boy was acting like his sensei had left him on purpose. "I didn't mean to Kiba-kun, but you're dog attacked me…" Akamaru couldn't walk very well, his head was covered in it's previous owner, Zabuza's, blood. I hope you aren't too hurt buddy… "You don't have time to stop and think in a fight." Zabuza's sword once again came crashing down on Kiba, and once again was blocked by Kurenai. "Didn't you feel that Zabuza-san, Naruto has finally started fighting." Kurenai was sure that other boy was much weaker then Zabuza was. "Foolish girl, he cannot win… do you know why? Because Haku is stronger then I am… he has his blood line plus all my jutsu, and he can kill a man instantly with his needles… and you're student's secret jutsu isn't that good." Zabuza was so sure that Haku would win, that he didn't notice the broken ice mirrors weren't reforming, or that Kurenai was smiling.

Haku landed right beside Naruto, the demon boy had easily jumped out of the way. "Too slow and predictable." The blond haired-nin rushed towards his enemy, arm drawn back. I need to get to another mirror. Haku turned, and tried to run towards his mirror. The masked boy looked down at his arm, a clawed hand held him in place, his claws digging into Haku's arm, small crimson droplets slowly falling to the ground. "I don't think so." Naruto's clawed hand slammed into Haku's face, sending the boy crashing into the mirror he was going to run too. The mirror shattered and the masked boy landed, crumpled on the ground. I can't beat him…

"Zabuza-san, that isn't a jutsu, it's a blood line limit and it is at it's lowest power level." The look of shock on Zabuza's face gave the young jounin the extra seconds she needed to defeat the demon of the mist. "… time to end this." Although Kurenai wasn't really sure exactly how she was going to end it, but she knew that she needed too, now. Kiba was getting tired dodging Zabuza's attacks, and she knew she couldn't do much without her students strong sense of smell. "Bah, you defeat me, that can't happen, you are a genjutsu user, I would never fall for those, and you are weaker than me, besides, you still need to protect your students."

Naruto was instantly beside Haku as the masked boy slowly began to rise. I need to warn Zabuza... I need to warn him that Naruto isn't normal… "Sorry Naruto-kun, I can't let you win…" Haku vaulted over Naruto, using the boy as a fulcrum, he was up and running towards Zabuza, he knew that he was still faster then Naruto, he didn't know how Naruto caught him the last time, but it wouldn't happen again. "Zabuza-san! Naruto isn't no-" The boy was cut off by a larger serge of chakra from the boy behind him. "I told you, you can't defeat me…"

"What was that?" Tazuna was trembling, he had finally spat out what he was trying to say for a while. He and Ino had both been hit by a wave of chakra and killing intent, much like the first time Naruto used his blood line limit. "I don't know, I think it is Naruto…" How could Naruto be so strong? I wonder if he really is stronger then Sasuke… She was trying to get her mind off the Killing intent hitting her, she had just gotten used to what she was being bombarded with before, and she was once again trembling.

"Zabuza-san! Naruto isn't no-" Haku's voice carried over the battle field. What is this? Zabuza was confused, Where did all this power come from? That boy… no way. Zabuza was distracted from his fight with Kiba and Kurenai when Naruto's chakra had slammed into the combatants. "What is this?" Zabuza asked his opponent, not expecting a reply. "I don't know… I think it might be level two of his bloodline…" She didn't know how much control Naruto had, and was beginning to worry if Naruto's tenant was gaining control. "I told you, you can't defeat me…" Although Naruto seemed to be talking normally, everyone heard what the boy said.

Much faster then he was before, Naruto was once again upon his prey. "I'm lucky, I faced a worthy opponent, and you are lucky you get to die a honorable death." The red chakra covering Naruto's body was darker, and the boy's skin was slowly burning. The fox was more predominant and was now covering his body, no longer looking like a shadow. The most noticeable change though was that now Naruto had two tails, not one. "Die!"

As soon as Zabuza saw the speed of the boy, and how fast he was upon Haku he knew that the ice nin was in trouble. Shit… Zabuza began to turn to save his student when he was struck from behind by a kick. "Did you forget you have your own opponents Zabuza? If you go to save him we kill you, and he dies, if you don't go, he dies and then we kill you… tough choice eh?" Kiba was more confident now that he knew his teammate was stronger, although he really shouldn't be considering the boy's personality, but he really wasn't thinking about that right now.

Naruto's hand wrapped around Haku's arms, the red chakra burning the masked boy's arms and clothes. Powerful… Although Haku couldn't beat Naruto at one tail, he was still faster than him, but now he was no match. "I'm sorry I underestimated you Naruto-kun…" The boy knew he was going to die, and he knew that it was his fault. "You have no reason to apologize, you underestimated me, and now you will pay." Naruto jumped up onto Haku's back, his arms holing onto the other boy's arms, his feet planted nicely on the masked boy's upper back. Slowly Naruto began to straighten himself out from his crouched position on the ice nin's back.

"AHHH!" Zabuza was startled when he heard Haku scream out. Since when does that boy scream out in pain? The demon of the mist glanced over at his student, but then had to do a double take. Naruto was now on his students back, bending Haku's arms in a way they shouldn't bend (think Sasuke vs. Zaku in Chunnin exams.) His arm's wont last long that way… "Aww, fuck it…" The older nin turned and started to run towards Haku, although he would never admit it, he cared about that boy and he didn't want to see him die. "You chose to ignore us Zabuza-san, time to die."

The sound of Haku's arms breaking was horrible, the scream that left the boy's mouth was worse. "I couldn't have you using any of your pesky skills now could I?" Naruto was having fun for the first time since he killed the demon brothers, he loved pain, and he loved torture, he was evil and that was that. "I thought you were going to kill me honorably Naruto-kun?" Haku always kept his word, he didn't know anyone who didn't. "I will… I'm just having fun now… but you are ruining it." Naruto wanted his victims to beg for mercy, not act like an innocent child who was just confused as to what happened, it reminded him too much of himself. "Good night Haku."
"Good night Naruto-kun."

Zabuza never heard the last words of his student, his best friend, the only person he cared about. He was too far away, held by a dog and a boy, each one attached to one of his limbs. "Did you really have to bite me?" Zabuza really wanted to know if Kiba had to attach himself to his arm with his teeth. "Yes he did." Kurenai answered for him, considering Kiba had a mouth full of missing nin. "We are sorry we had to kill you in such an undignified manner, but you understand we are ninja and we aren't the most honorable of people."

Student and teacher died at the same time. One by claw, one by Kunai. Although Zabuza died quick and painlessly, the sharp kunai easily separating the man from his head. The blade had easily cut through the mans flesh, his last heart beat spewing most of his blood out of his severed jugular. The kill was clean and quick, but his student didn't fair as well. Naruto wasn't as nice to his opponent. Kill him, let me see his blood flow, let me hear him scream. The demon boy's clawed hands cupped each side of Haku's face. "Too bad I'm really a demon…" Naruto's hands sharply twisted to the right, then to the left, then back to the right. Each twist earning him a sickening crunch or crack.

Soon after the demon and his apprentice fell, an army of bandits arrived on the bridge. And as soon as they arrived they ran, they thought that all they were going to have to kill were 6 wounded ninja, but sadly they had to fight 2 wounded shinobi, a wounded dog, 1 untouched shinobi, and a demon, with what looked like a severed head which was removed by hand. "DEMON!" The killing intent was too much for the weak men, and most ran. The ones who stayed, didn't stay in the world of the living for too long. A wounded jounin was stronger then many normal people, a wounded shinobi was still a shinobi, and a demon was just too much. The bridge that Tazuna was building was died red that day, the blood of ninja and bandit alike covered it and seeped into the concrete.

After the fight, the severed heads of Zabuza and Haku were placed on either end of the bridge. Neither Tazuna nor his hired bodyguards wanted to fight anymore (well besides Naruto, but that's expected.) The severed heads were still dripping blood as they were placed upon each end of the newly named, bloodbath bridge. The death upon Tazuna's unmade master piece was more then the wave country had ever seen in a single day and they were not soon to forget it.

Naruto didn't know why he didn't kill the old man's child, maybe it was because he didn't want to deprive Inari of another parent, or because it was a defenseless child and he would gain nothing from killing him. But it was most likely because he knew he would be stuck guarding this bride longer if the old man was crying because of his dead daughter.

A/N: Sorry for making you people wait, I will never again make a dead line for my chapters… because I can't meet them, lol. I always seem to go over because I get writers block, luckily for you, I finally got my muse back, at least for now. It seems like I will have to make a Naruto/Tenten story… this means that at about chapter… 7 Naruto will meet Tenten, and at about chapter… 16 he or she will start to fall in love with the other and about chapter 25 I think they will get together, about the point Naruto gets back from his 3 years of training…

Although from now on, I would appreciate it if I got reviews with your people's votes… I mean votes are nice, but reviews are better, I like them so much better, and makes me more likely to write another chapter. I mean getting a vote doesn't add incentive, but people reviewing my chapters, and telling me what's good and or bad helps more. Like people telling me my fight scenes were bad, I tried to do better, hope you enjoyed it. If not well then give me a sample, if you can do better then I will put more work into it, if not well then… sit down and shut up, lol. Constructive criticism is good… but criticism is bad. I've only seen two types of fight scenes people seem to enjoy in fan fiction either:
- no description at all, all up to readers imagination
- tons of description, 9,000 words for a fight

I don't like either, so I try to go for in the middle and people didn't seem to like it, so well, give me an example of good fight scenes that aren't like "They attack each other, use a jutsu, use a different jutsu, they fight, use a powerful jutsu, one person wins." That's boring to me.

Also for people who are like "should be Naruto/Tsunade because she and he get along so well in the manga." You have to remember Naruto isn't like how he is in the manga. The people that like him in the manga probably won't like him in this fan fiction.

Also I'd like to say, WOO-HOO! 200 reviews and 125 alerts! My fan base is pretty big for this fic now, and I'm lovin' it. Now I just hope you guys like this chapter, and I need to know what I need to do to make my fight scenes better. Now I know this fight scene didn't have a lot of jutsu in it, well it's because in the manga, there weren't a lot of jutsu, it was mostly taijutsu with a few jutsu and well, I chose to replace the summoning dogs jutsu of Kakashi's with Kiba and Kurenai with a kunai. But well… hope it's ok.
