Author's Note:
Yay I had time to do allot of chapters so that is why they are being updated so quickly. NOW READ! please!
Arriving in smoke in the forest Naruto was sure to get his armor and then dismiss all of his clones. He then tucked the book away inside his sealing panel in his armor.
An let his henge go as he became himself once more.
Walking slowly he then made his way to the town as he stopped at a familiar vendor that was about to close. He looked at the swollen eyed man who simply nodded back. Naruto nodded to the man as he then suddenly gripped his sword's hilt, turned on his heel and did a spin before walking off leaving any one who saw him none the wiser.
A crowd started to gather at the closing shop vendor's stall as they saw the vendor's head had some how fallen off his shoulders.
Naruto walked his way back to Tazuna's house and knocked on the door he was let in by Tsunami ''Ah hello you must be the one that left from before?'' ''Yes I am Tsunami-san'' ''Well come in then. Sorry though but dinner has been served but I could fix you something right quick'' ''Don't bother ma'am I just need you to point me towards my room please'' ''Sure just go up the stairs and to the left. Uh I think your sharing with the other boy''
Naruto simply nodded as he made his way up the stairs then to his assigned room. Entering the room he saw a feigning sleep on his futon Sasuke. Naruto ignored the act as he simply went to his own wall and took his sword from his side and layed it in front of him as he then sat cross legged and head down.
Naruto rested as he knew in this position he was less vulnerable to anything that wished to do harm of any sort to him.
Minutes later Naruto was aware of the presence that lurked beside him. ''Dobe you aren't asleep are you?'' said a voice expectantly. Naruto responded
''No but I'm trying to'' ''Where were you?'' ''None of your business'' ''Doesn't matter any way for I hope you know weaklings like you shouldn't wander around. Kakashi says Zabuza is still alive and the hunter-ninja was a fake''
''Yes I know'' Sasuke grew surprised ''What do you mean you knew?'' ''Hunter ninja destroy the body on the spot not carry it away'' The Uchiha glared at the closed eye Naruto ''How did you know that?'' ''I am a ninja. It's common knowledge'' ''What ever. Any way Kakashi says he will train us'' ''Sasuke why are you talking so friendly with me?''
''You should be happy to speak with a Uchiha'' commented Sasuke seriously ''Just say what you want'' Sasuke went quiet then moments later said ''I want to touch it''
Naruto opened his eyes and looked up at the indifferent looking Uchiha. ''What?'' Sasuke just stared at the sword at Naruto's feet. Naruto sighed back than waved for the Uchiha to sit down beside him as he then held out his hand.
Sasuke took the hand and let his be guided to the sword as Naruto's hand rested upon his and the sword. Naruto waited a few seconds before he then took the Uchiha's hand off his sword. He quickly caught the Uchiha's hand as he anticipated the brunette would reach for the sword again.
''Sasuke this is becoming a weird occurrence what is with you?'' ''Shut up and just let me hold it'' rebuked the cold voice. Naruto was becoming slightly worried at the Uchiha's growing like for his sword. For what he at once thought was great fascination at the beautiful weapon was turning slowly in to fanaticism.
''It is just a sword. No need to like it so much'' ''Don't act dobe you too know it is more then a sword there is something about it and you should give it to me or at the very least let me use it'' ''It won't work for anyone but me and Sasuke it is mine'' ''Then who made you yours I want one then'' ''The person is long since gone. There won't be another one of these type of swords'' Sasuke snorted in irritation.
''What ever just know when you die it will be mine'' Naruto then remembered what Sasuke had done to him before so he reached up an grabbed the now standing Sasuke and pulled him down as the Uchiha then ungraciously fell to the floor. Naruto lay his sword beside him as he then grabbed Sasuke by his shirt and looked him in the eye.
''You sent a fireball to my back'' Sasuke smirked ''Yeah I did so what. Now get your hand's off me'' he said trying to get up but couldn't as he was kept down by Naruto's tight grip on his shirt. Balling his fist he went to punch Naruto in the face but was surprised how Naruto quickly dodged the punch and the many others that came after it.
Stopping his actions Sasuke just stared at the blonde. Naruto then continued as if the attempts of the Uchiha did not at the very least bother him
''Now like I was saying I told you I would make you pay and I will Sasuke.''
Suddenly Naruto head butted the Uchiha hard who couldn't dodge it as the tight grip on his shirt kept him still. Naruto then head butted the dazed Uchiha again who was slowly losing consciousness as his eyes began to slowly close but Naruto glared at him as he flared his killing intent directing it at the Uchiha who he saw shake a bit at it's effect.
Naruto spoke in a soft voice "Don't go to sleep now Sasuke, you might wake up dead" Unleashing the blue night shirt and the limp Uchiha, Naruto wound back his fist
as he made to swing at the Uchiha who suddenly dodged the hit.
The blonde sensed the Uchiha's chakra fluctuate as he drew back his fist he immediately jumped back with sword in hand.
Sasuke looked down as he began to stand up from the floor. He then moved his head up.
Naruto watched the Uchiha as he now did not know what to expect from the brunette he sensed had a big chakra spike that went down as quickly as it had come.
He at first wondered if anyone else would notice it but stopped caring as he saw the Uchiha slowly rise and his head slowly raise.
Naruto sighed as he saw Sasuke's eyes open and show the sharingan.
Sasuke stared with unhidden rage at Naruto. The two tomoe spinning in one eye around his pupil while another single tomoe in his other doing the same.
"Hm seems you have activated your sharingan" Naruto stated. Sasuke gave a wide smirk that was almost a happy smile.
"You look different Naruto. But don't mind that you wouldn't know or even be able to comprehend how a Uchiha sees the world. Though tell me what were you saying about my possible death?" asked the Uchiha with the same wide smirk as he now stood with arms crossed and chest out.
"I said you may die. You know with you falling asleep before I could fully kick your ass. Though now that your sharingan is active tell me can you truly see how much stronger I am then you?" the blonde said with turn turning bored like his expression.
Sasuke growled as he saw Naruto before him still cool and collected. "I am going to beat the living hell out of you dobe then put you in your place!"
Sasuke with out care for where he was at began the hand seals for the fire ball jutsu.
He was immediately stopped as Naruto blurred from his vision for a second and then he saw Naruto before him.
Naruto put his hands on Sasuke's stopping the jutsu as Sasuke growled jumping back but couldn't as he looked down and saw his feet were covered with tan sand. He looked back up to Naruto who still looked bored.
Aggravated by the calm blonde. Sasuke tore his hands from the tan ones as he made to punch the boy in front of him. He failed though as his vision blurred and all he saw as he began to feel weak was Naruto slowly breathing in to his face.
Sasuke went limper and limper as he fell in to Naruto who caught him as he released the sand on the Uchiha's feet. Picking the Uchiha up bridal style Naruto stopped breathing in to the brunette's face as he was sure the boy was now fully sedated even though he could see that the brunette fought the effects off valiantly.
He looked down to the Uchiha's tired face with lidded eyes now black, falling closed then opening in a rhythmic pattern. Naruto smiled softly down at the brunette as he put Sasuke gently inside his futon and covered him with a blanket.
"You are really something to fight off my Poison Smog" Sasuke getting tired by the second replied slowly "When...did...you?" "I don't need hand seals to perform some jutsu. Usually I would for this jutsu but performing it at a lower power I don't. It still is impressive how you are fighting it off" Sasuke got mad at knowing he was not able to see Naruto's sneak attack with his sharingan* and how Naruto seemed to be taking care of him as if he was a child.
"I...hate..you...dobe" "Yeah you would. Oh well night Sasuke" said Naruto going back to his wall leaving Sasuke to succumb to sleep.
MORNING
Naruto was the first one up as he had previously left the house again to tend to his two new subordinates as he had to make sure they had gotten the funds requested. When he had saw that they in fact had gotten the funds he then told them to up their skills and lay low until he ever called upon them or sent them a order. They of course had no choice but to obey.
With the money in thousands of sealing scrolls Naruto had made hundreds of shadow clones as he then divided up the money between his clones who then gave large quantities to everyone in the town by placing the scrolls in their mail boxes or on door steps. On some bills out of the stacks of cash he had gave to the villagers he wrote that the money was from a friend and that Gato was dead.
He knew no one would know who it was that killed Gato but he also knew with the money and several other donations he made to surrounding towns that Wave country would be on their feet again but of course he himself kept very size able amounts for his own welfare. For he guessed one never would know when they needed
$236.9 billion ryo**.
Naruto sighed as he walked back to Tazuna's house as he saw their mail box had it's flag up. He did think on his actions of what he had done and knew that only giving back a few billions to the country was a bit wrong but he also knew he could of kept it all for himself and he had did most of the work any way so he would just say it was a fair trade.
An with the billions he gave back and the dividing the money among citizens an making sure the poorest citizens became millionaires. He could say that his conscious would remain fairly clear. Especially since he killed the richest man in the world and one of the most corrupt and evil since he not only dealt in legal business but also several unsightly underground affairs that got him so rich.
Knocking on the door he was then greeted by a boy who opened it. He looked down at the young boy. ''Hello'' he greeted nicely. The boy simply turned around and ignored him walking away. Naruto shrugged as he then entered the house and saw Tazuna ''Hey Naruto you been out all night?'' ''No I was here earlier but I left again'' ''Well come get something to eat'' the old man advised.
Naruto followed the old man to the kitchen where he saw his team and Tsunami and the boy sitting at the table. Taking a seat he expected Kakashi's question
''Where have you been Naruto?'' ''Around'' ''Around?'' ''Yup'' was all Naruto was going to say as a plate of food was sat in front of him by Tsunami.
Digging in to the food Naruto started to sense a kind of depressing cloud coming from the boy at the end of the table who sat by Tsunami. He ignored it but sighed as he heard Sakura address him ''Naruto why won't you tell us where you have been?'' ''I went training'' ''Speaking of that Naruto. Zabuza is alive and will be back in a minimal of two weeks. If dictated by his injuries. I will begin training you guys to combat him''
It was then the small boy made a out burst ''YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!'' all looked to the boy who then continued ''It's no use no one can beat Gato!'' Naruto chuckled as Tsunami said ''Inari! stop being rude, don't say such things!'' Naruto then spoke ''Gato is dead. It's the buzz around town some one killed him and allot of his thugs then took his money and gave it back to the villagers and many other towns in the country. There has been several reports of money in people's mail boxes''
Tazuna asked Naruto in disbelief ''Dead? what money in mail boxes? Tsunami check the mail!'' he commanded as Tsunami immediately got up and ran to check the mail. Naruto then stared at the still unbelieving Inari. ''Naruto how do you know this?'' asked Kakashi ''It's the talk of the town'' Seconds later Tsunami rushed back inside the kitchen with a face of pure excitement ''It's true! Father the money is in the living room I took it from the mail box and I saw our neighbors had money scrolls in their boxes too!''
Tazuna stood up as he raced to the living room only to shout ''God Dang it must be true! Gato is dead!'' Naruto then watched as Inari and his team raced to the living room. After he took another bite of rice he then joined them in the living room. Seeing that everyone's eyes were upon the stacks of cash Naruto then commented
''Zabuza won't be bothering us anymore his employer is dead. An he is a missing ninja sure enough he is probably long gone now''
Kakashi looked to Naruto then stated ''yeah you are probably right but still we will remain on alert.'' ''Sure but I am positive Zabuza won't be coming for us'' Naruto then walked away.
2 WEEKS LATER| TAZUNA'S HOUSE
Naruto sat outside Tazuna's house underneath a tree. He had chosen to stay by Tazuna's family and guard the house instead of train with his team.
Like he had anticipated Wave country in just days was recovering from Gato's tyranny. An the businessman's body with several others had been found in one of his ware house's secret tunnels a few days ago.
With full confirmation of his death the Wave citizens started to expel anything that had to do with Gato and even rose up to take back previous shipping ports Gato owned and seized anything Gato had previously taken away. But what was the truly the two biggest wanted questions that no one could find or knew anything of was who killed Gato and so many of his men and where did all the money that wasn't given back go?
Naruto felt proud then in taking the money as he had learned that soon after the question of where the rest of Gato's money was at was brought up. Many started to look in to Gato's business and found corruption in their own government so high up that many lords an some nobles had been killed by rioting and betrayed citizens. Who took justice in to their own hands.
Naruto could only feel glad as once again his plan worked in that no one suspected that the same person who had given the money kept some.
With Wave on the fast track to recovery the bridge had been nearly completed by workers who had previously quit thanks to fear of Gato, returning to help Tazuna. Naruto knew today was the day the bridge was suppose to be completed.
An that he could get away from the country and especially Tazuna who often gave him smiles when no one saw. He guessed that the man knew he was the one to save the country and kept it a secret.
Which if anyone could think of it Naruto knew that he would be a prime suspect seeing as how a extremely sharp sword was what was used to kill Gato and so many others and it couldn't of been a too much greedy person since billions of cash was distributed to the citizens and Naruto had disappeared right around the time Gato died. But it was all irrelevant as Naruto wouldn't admit to anything. An there was no concrete proof or anyone who wanted justice for a evil person like Gato.
Naruto looked to his right as he saw Inari. ''Hello'' he greeted nicely. Inari stared at him then asked ''Did you kill Gato?'' ''I don't know what you are talking about''
''Don't joke around. There are rumors that say it was you!'' ''Rumors is just people talking'' Inari looked at Naruto's blue eyes then said ''Thank you'' before he then turned away but heard faintly ''Your welcome. Be strong kid'' Inari only smiled as he kept walking away feeling much more at ease and thankful.
Naruto stood up as he hoped the boy at least was a bit more at peace with him self as Naruto had heard from Tsunami how his step father had been killed by Gato publicly before he was humiliated and Inari had saw it all.
WAVE COUNTRY| BRIDGE
Naruto had followed Tsunami and Inari to the unveiling of the bridge where he would also meet up with his team as they were all about to set off back to the Leaf.
As Naruto got there he could see a large crowd gathered around. He made his way with Tsunami and Inari to a smiling Tazuna who was with the rest of team 7.
''Ah good you guys are all here for the naming of the bridge'' ''Naming?'' asked Inari.
Tazuna pointed at the finished bridge where a giant tower where a nameplate of the bridge was covered by a tarp.
Tazuna then got a bottle of booze and went over to the bridge's tower pillar and began speaking
''It's taken allot to build this bridge and I now name this bridge after a good person.'' smashing the bottle against the red pillar Tazuna then yelled ''I name this bridge the Great Naruto Bridge for a hero!'' the crowd then cheered as Naruto could only give a blank expression.
Sakura then asked ''Why are they naming the bridge after you Naruto?'' Naruto didn't answer as he waved good bye to the citizens and began walking down the bridge. Naruto then promised mentally he would never answer any question concerning Gato... ever.
Reader: AH FUCK!
FSDYT: -picks ear- What are you yelling about?
Reader: Naruto cut the bastard vendor's head off!
FSDYT: Duh, I know
Reader: So yay he is sort of good!
FSDYT: Tch about now it depends on who ya ask.
Reader: An he didn't give back all that money!
FSDYT: He gave back allot though! An you sure did switch sides fast I thought you said he was 'good'?
Reader: But not all so I change my mind. -whispers- thief
FSDYT: what! no he isn't if anything he probably has plans for the cash,maybe a new orphanage for the poor orphan kids.
Reader: oh well if it's for the kids then -cheers- GO! Naruto!
FSDYT: Or maybe because he wants to build a lab so he could experiment in his knowledge of poisons or justu
Reader: seems a bit selfish
FSDYT: you know he is a bit dark plus when he seemed bad wasn't he good! :)
Reader: Hm yeah that's true. Well I am going to go REVIEW now...
*Note: nope Sasuke couldn't see the attack with his undeveloped sharingan. Now if he had a fully developed sharingan it would of been a different case.
**Note: Damn I know rich eh! But remember Gato was a drug-lord, slaver, and pretty much every damn thing else. An was just all around rich/wealthy.
An crazy enough this was after he gave back billions and yes Gato dealt in such affairs that made him richer then what he seemed to actually be(in my fanfic he did)
an there was insinuations of such in cannon too.
