CHAPTER 7

Wave

Tazuna house

Team 7 was resting , Tsunami , Tazuna daughter thanked them for saving his father then Ino remembered what happened later.

"Itachi-sensei what happened when Naruto said that Zabuza ran away?" asked Ino

"You see Ino , hunter-nins usually dispose of the body of the person at the spot they killed them" replied Itachi

"So , what about it?" asked Ino , then Itachi "What did that masked boy do with Zabuza's body?" answered. Then Shikamaru "The hunter-nin took the body with him"

"Exactly , if he needed proof of the kill , he could have just taken the head . And he used simple needles to kill Zabuza" finished Itachi .

Tazuna , Ino and Shikamaru eyes widened "No way" said the three

Then Ino and Shikamaru looked at Naruto "You knew about this?" , he nodded "What you and Itachi-sensei didn't do anything" asked Ino.

"Well I was tired after the battle and copying jutsus , and I didn't sense the masked nin so he must be at least at Zabuza level" explained Naruto

"I didn't know what happened to Aoi so I didn't want to take any chances" said Itachi then he continued "Anyways we will prepare for the next encounter , with them"

"Hold on. Training? What's a little training going to do!? Our enemy is a ninja you stuggled against, even with the Sharingan!" said Ino.

"Remember , you did well with the first two ninjas , you guys grown rapidly" said Itachi

"Ino-chan , Itachi didn't have even have a scratch after the fight" replied Naruto , then they began to laugh "This will be fun" said Naruto.

"Fun? No, it won't." A voice at the door replied.

Everyone turn to see a small boy who they immediately assume was the grandson.

"Who are you?" asked Naruto.

"Oh, Inari! Where were you!?" Tazuna cried. Inari ran to his grandfather.

"Welcome back, ojjisan!"

"Inari, say hello to these people. They're ninjas who protected your grandpa." His mother snaps.

"It's okay, right Inari?" Tazuna replies happily.

Inari eyed the ninja's in the room before turning to his mother.

"Mom, they're going to die. There's no way they can win against Gatou." Said Inari

"What did you say?" yelled Ino

"If you don't want to die, you should leave." Inari replied walking out the room.

"Where are you going, Inari?" Tazuna asks.

"To look at the ocean from my room." Replied Inari

"Sorry about that." Finished Tazuna

Konoha

Hokage office

Sarutobi was busy with paperwork , he just was informed that team 7 was ambushed by two chunnin nuke-nins , and the team handle them , it seems Itachi continued with the mission.

Then suddenly Tsunade and Mitoko ( yes they bored ) barged into the room

"Any news about team 7 and 9" asked Mitoko , Tsunade wanted to know as well.

"Well team Kakashi finished to help the post from the bandits and they will come back tomorrow at night and team 7…" Sarutobi couldn't finish

"What happened to Naruto?" asked Tsunade in a serious .

"Well on the way there they got ambush by 2 chunnin nuke-nins" replied Sandaime , the two womans eyes widened "WHAT?" the duo yelled "It was supposed to be C-rank , why are they fighting ninjas , they will come back isn't?" asked Mitoko.

Sarutobi was sweating then there was a knock at the door "Enter" ordered the old man , then a chunnin with a letter appeared "Hokage-sama we received a letter from Itachi's team"

The three eyes widened , Sandaime opened the letter and palled , the two womans looked at him worried "Well what does my son says?" asked Mitoko.

"Hmm they continued the mission , it seems it was the gennin who handle the demon brothers" said the old man , the two womans glared at them

"Anything more?" asked Tsunade raising an eyebrow

"Well on they way to the bridge builder house , they got ambushed by Momochi Zabuza and Rokusho Aoi" said a trembling Sandaime , "You SEND them on A-class or perhaps S-class mission?" threatened Tsunade.

"I didn't know it seems the client lied" stuttered Sandaime looking at the scaring womans "Continue" ordered Mitoko , in the letter it explained Naruto and Itachi battle , they were proud of Naruto , and Tsunade was happy to get the Raijin back.

"So they finished ?" asked Tsunade , Sarutobi shocked his head "When Itachi was about to kill Zabuza , a hunter nin from Kiri , apparently killed him , but in reality he saved him , he was an accomplice , Itachi says he's atleast Zabuza or higher level , they will stay there until the bridge is finished , the employer is Gatou.

Suddenly Tsunade slammed her hands on the desk making it tremble "THAT'S S-RANK MISSION" yelled the woman "And they continued ? WHY?" , then Sarutobi replied "It seems Naruto promised that he will buy pocky to Itachi if they continued" stuttered the old man.

Both womans glared "I'm going to kill those two bastard when they come back"

The next day at the Wave

Itachi's team were in the forest near a lake "Well now you will learn and advanced level of chakra control , you will be walking on water" , Ino and Shikamaru raised an eyebrow , then Itachi proceed to demonstrate and explain how to do it.

Naruto already knew so Itachi taught him how to do the Bunshin Daibakuha (Clone Great Explosion) , when they mastered water walking Itachi proceed to teach them the Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Fire Release: Grand Fireball Technique) to Ino and the Futon: Renkudan (Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet) to Shikamaru.

Tsunami, Tazuna's daughter spoke, "Where is Naruto? Is he still out there?" , then Ino replied "I think so he wanted to improve one of his techniques".

They were currently seated around Tazuna's dinner table. Tazuna and his family consisting of his daughter, Tsunami, and her son Inari. Suddenly they heard movement from outside, the shinobi tensed, but relaxed a little when they heard who it was.

Naruto said, "Hello? Anyone home?" Itachi spoke, "We're in the dining room Naruto."

The kid spoke, "Why do you fight so hard? You can't beat Gatou and his men no matter how strong you get! You come in here and you smile like its nothing! You don't know how hard life can be! You've never lost anything, you've had it-"

Naruto raised an eyebrow "What did you say brat?" then Inari replied "Your heard me you don't know how hard life can be "

"Well let's me explain something to you , I've been orphan until I was 6 years old , father died sealing the furball inside me , that made the village hate me , even if it wasn't the furball fault , they wanted to kill me when that happened but thanks to some people that didn't happen , I was mistread in the orphanage until the old man gave me an apartment , glared and insulted by the villagers all the days , so don't tell I don't how hard a life can be" finished Naruto as he leaved the room .

Itachi sighed , Inari was crying then Shikamaru spoke "So that's the reason why some people didn't like Naruto back then" , Itachi nodded "What does he mean by furball and it wasn't he's fault" asked Ino.

"Well , I assume you know about his heritage?" asked Itachi , the nodded "Remember the nine tails?" another nodded "Well he wasn't killed" , Ino gasped "Yondaime-sama couldn't kill him , so he used his son , he sealed the Kyuuby inside his son , as for it wasn't his fault , it was Orochimaru that make the Kyuuby attacking Konoha killing his kittens" Ino eyes widened as tears began to flow "Is that why they hated him" , Itachi nodded .

"And it's thanks to your fathers and especially Mitoko that take care of him after he left the orphanage that he didn't receive beatings from the villagers , so anyone knew back then who their family was , only the Sandaime knew" .

They stood silent "I'm go to find Naruto" said Ino as she left the room.

Somewhere in the forest

1 hour later Naruto was on the ground thinking about what happened 'I hope they don't hate me now' , he was too lost in thought that he didn't noticed that Ino was walking behind him.

Ino smiled when she saw him a walked without making any sound

Then Naruto felt two arms wrapped him in a embrace , he suddenly startled and gasped , he turned his head to saw Ino smiling at him "Ino-chan I .." stuttered our blond but the girl put his finger in Naruto mouth shutting him up , "Naru-chan I don't hate you , there's no way I could hate you , even it was Orochimaru bastard fault , the villagers are stupid" , then Naruto replied "Thank you Ino-chan" as they hugged each other "Your welcome" said Ino .

"I'm going to train a little more Ino-chan , you can go sleep" said Naruto , "Okay Naru-chan don't stay too late" as she left , Naruto went to to train trying to improve his Rasengan

The next day

Naruto woke up the next morning to bright sunshine. He yawned. Judging by the sun, it was probably already ten… he really slept well. He got up and yawned again. He slowly walked to the Tazuna household. He saw sword slashes marking the way to the house… and a dead pig? Oh no…

Naruto picked up his pace and ran the rest of the way towards the house. He got closer, he saw two thugs with Tsunami between them. They were dragging her away. Then Inari came out and began to yell at them. Good job kid. Naruto moved fast and replaced Tsunami with some wood with the replacement jutsu. then he landed by Inari with her while the thugs realized that they didn't have their prisoner anymore.

Inari looked at him in amazement. How did this guy move so fast? Naruto spoke, "Good job Inari. You distracted them enough for me to get your mom to safety. Now… let me take care of these guys."

"Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Fire Release: Grand Fireball Technique)" said Naruto burning them down.

He then quickly tied them up. As soon as he was sure that Tsunami and Inari were okay, if they attacked , they will after Tazuna as well.

After a while Naruto made it to the bridge. Itachi was fighting Zabuza head to head , Shikamaru was protecting Tazuna from some thugs , and Ino was fighting with the hunter nin. Then farther along was .. mirrors ? As he got inside he saw how Ino got hit by senbons , she got some along , but now she was hit on the neck.

He just arrived to grab Ino from falling in the floor "Naru-chan?" said as she looked how Naruto grabbed her and shed a few tears "I'm sorry Naru-chan what i could" as she closed her eyes.

"NO , NO , NO , NO" yelled Naruto

He turned to see the hunter-nin this one said ""Was she your friend? A precious person of yours? Do not worry. You will be joining her soon."

That was all Naruto could take , red chakra began to pour off his body. Rage overtook him , he activate his fully matured sharingan and yelled.

Naruto yelled, "I'LL KILL YOU! YOU KILLED HER, I WILL KILL YOU!"

Shikamaru already knocked down the thugs 'What happened , that's the nine-tails power?'

Itachi just finished Zabuza live with the Katon: Karyudan (Fire Release: Fire Dragon Missile) and got worried when he sensed the Kyuuby chakra , so he went there just to see.

'What power' though Haku I can't overcome

Naruto quickly gathered chakra on his hand forming a blue ball of chakra , and rushed full speed to Haku , the hunter nin couldn't move from the fear , then Naruto slammed the blue ball of chakra on his chest yelling "Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere)"

In the exterior , Itachi saw how Naruto attacked with the Rasengan , Shikamaru saw it too 'That's the Yondaime technique' , he saw the red chakra and an angered Naruto , he looked at the floor and froze as he saw Ino lying there 'No' he though

The ice mirrors broke instantly , and the rasengan torn apart Haku sending him flying through the air down the bridge.

Itachi and Shikamaru walked over them , Naruto got over Ino and hugged her as he cried "I'm sorry Ino-chan , I loved you Ino-chan" said over and over , Itachi and Shika just stood there silent.

Then they froze as they heard "You love me Naru-chan?" said Ino , Naruto eyes widened and hugged her "Your alive , your alive " , Itachi and Shikamaru gasped an relief and smiled at the situation.

A voice spoke, "Well, isn't that sweet. I must thank Zabuza for weakening you guys up." They turned to see Gatou along with atleast fifty thugs.

Before Naruto or the others could do anything , an arrow landed in on Gatou killing him . Naruto looked behind him. Behind them all was Inari… and the rest of the villagers. Naruto smiled, "Inari!" Inari grinned, "A hero shows up at the last second right?"

Naruto grinned right back. The thugs were looking weary now, why not add to it? He formed twenty Kage Bunshin. Itachi stood up and did the same .Around forty clones formed around him. This was enough for the thugs, they jumped off the bridge to swim to safety or went back onto the boat that they came on.

Behind the group of ninja, the villagers of the Wave country cheered. Naruto grinned. They had gotten their courage back.

Ino approached Naruto and said "You said you love me Naru-chan" , then Naruto blushed and looked away "I don't know what your talking about Ino-chan you must be dreaming" , Ino raised an eyebrow when Itachi and Shikamaru chuckled.

The next few days were spent healing and getting ready to leave the country of the Wave. Ino went to ask Shikamaru what happened in the bridge , she was impressed 'when he told her that he used the Yondaime technique' , then she blushed and smiled when Shika told her that he went berserk when he though that she was dead , and told her that he loved her.

Tazuna spoke, "Thank you for your help , the bridge will be incredibly"

Itachi smiled and replied "I don't doubt it"

Inari was crying, "You'll come back to visit, right Naruto?"

Naruto smiled, "Course I will."

And they left

A villager spoke, "Tazuna, what will we call the bridge?" Tazuna snapped his fingers after a few moments of thought. Tazuna said, "I got a super idea! We'll call it, the Great Naruto Bridge"

The villagers started to cheer yelling the name of the bridge

Itachi team's heard that and Naruto smiled while saying "Sounds nice"
