AN: Thanks for the reviews, here some responses:

NeroSyrix: Der grund warum Naruto so schnell stärker wird ist ganz einfach: er hat Unterstützung wo er vorher keine hatte, er hat außerdem die schatten doppelgänger die er einfach spamen kann und dafür sorgen das er dinge wo er jahre für brauchen würde innerhalb von wochen order sogar nur tagen lernt!

Bloody Rogue dragon deity king: I think I already mentioned it once, yes I know and I enjoy it Muhahahahahahahahaha! I know, I'm evil :P

Now onwards to the new chapter!

Chapter VIII – Oh, hello Nee-chan!

Teams 7 and 8 escorted Tazuna towards the almost completed bridge, upon arrival they saw a thick mist covering most of the bridge that they could see, but they also saw something else. The workers who were supposed to build the bridge were all lying on the ground, most of them had only bruises but some of them had more serious wounds.

"Hinata, can you see if they are still alive?" Kakashi asked. She activated her Byakugan and scanned the bodies, to everyone's relieves they were only unconscious but the mist on the bridge was something unnatural, it was completely lazed with chakra.

Upon hearing that, Naruto made a dozen clones and ordered them to quickly pick up the workers to bring them to safety, no sooner as the last worker was out of harm's way a voice came out of the mist, "now that the playground is cleaned up we can finally begin."

Out of the mist came Zabuza and Haku, both ready for the fight. "Sakura and Kibva, you two protect Tazuna. Shino, Hinata, and Naruto, you three take Haku. Kurenai and I take Zabuza," Kakashi ordered and all nodded. They got into position and as if on a secret signal they began their respective fights.

The Genin engaged Haku who seemed reluctant to attack them, they stood opposed to each other and Naruto asked her, "why Haku? Why would you do this, after all that you told me, I would have thought you would be opposed to helping someone like Gato, so why?"

Haku was surprised that Naruto knew who she was, "how do you know that it's me?"

"Simple, your scent, it's also the reason why I know that you're not a boy, but back to my question, why?" he replied.

Haku thought about what he just said and was glad that she was wearing that mask, she was embarrassed and blushing in a red that would make Hinata proud. A moment later she regained her composure and answered, "because I'm just a tool for Zabuza-sama, I will do whatever I'm tasked to do and I will protect him with everything I have since he is my most precious person."

"I can respect that you would do anything to protect someone who's precious to you but you're wrong, you're not just a tool, you are a human being, you are Haku! It's true, we Shinobis are considered tools but that's wrong, we are humans. We may sometimes act like machines, doing things we're not proud of but do it because we have to, we kill, even if we don't want to but we do it to protect what's important to us, only when we don't feel anything anymore and start to enjoy doing these horrendous things, then we become something else, then we become monsters. But I know you don't enjoy doing these things, that's why I know that you are no tool, no monster," Naruto said.

Haku was surprised by what Naruto said, she didn't know what to reply, she only knew that she had a mission, that mission was to neutralize the enemy to make sure Zabuza can take out the bridge builder but were the kids in front of her really the enemy? She didn't know anymore, so the only thing she could do was trusting in Zabuza and carry out his orders, "I'm sorry, but I have to follow Zabuza-sama's orders."

From her last encounter, she knew that if she wanted to have a chance at winning this fight, she couldn't hold back, she quickly made some hand seals and said "Hyoton: Demonic Mirrors" and around them appeared a dome of ice mirrors, she stepped into the one behind her and after that she was seen in every single mirror that surrounded them.

"Kurama, any idea on how to get out of this?" Naruto asked her.

"You would either need an extremely hot fire jutsu, super strength or a ability to suck out her chakra since this jutsu has to have a heavy chakra cost," she replied and suddenly all of them had a smirk on their faces.

At the same time Haku started her attack, she threw huge amounts of senbon at the Genin inside the dome, which they only barely managed to dodge or block and a few senbon hit their targets.

Naruto made a shadow clone and began with his jutsus, his clone made the "Futon: Great Breakthrough Jutsu" and he himself made "Katon: Great Fireball Jutsu" they combined and began to melt the mirrors in front of them, at the same time, Shino had his insects leech the chakra from the mirrors behind them and Hinata charged lightning chakra in her hands to strike the mirrors in front of them as soon as Naruto's combination jutsu would be over and the mirrors weakened enough.

The strategy was a success, Shino managed to leech enough chakra from Haku that she couldn't repair the damaged mirrors and soon after the flames from Naruto died down Hinata smashed the weakened mirror and they managed to get out of the dome.

After they got out the rest of the jutsu also disappeared and left a heavy breathing Haku, that jutsu had cost her a good amount of chakra plus Shino's insects, she was nearly empty and she knew her chance of winning this was none existent.

On another part of the bridge was the fight between Kakashi and Kurenai vs Zabuza, and it didn't look all too good for Zabuza. Despite him using his water clones, he couldn't gain an advantage against his two opponents. They traded kicks and punches, fired jutsus at another but the only thing it did was deplete their chakra reserves and unfortunately for him since he had two opponents, they had the chakra advantage.

"Zabuza, why do you work for Gato, is it really the money, or do you just enjoy destroying a helpless nation?" Kurenai asked.

"If you must know, it's the money, I've got nothing against the people here, but we need the money to survive, and he pays enough that we don't need to live from scraps. He also provides cover from these damn hunter-nins that are after me," Zabuza answered.

"What if we could offer you an alternative where you don't have to work for Gato, make some money, a place to call home and don't have to worry about these hunter-nins?" Kakashi asked him.

Zabuza raised an eyebrow at that and asked, "oh, and what would that be? And why would you offer that?"

"Its simple, join Konoha as a Shinobi, that way you would have the support of a major village, you could earn honest money, a safe place for you and Haku and you won't have to run from the hunter-nins anymore. To why we would offer you that, Naruto seems to have befriended Haku and you are a strong Shinobi, a win-win situation," Kakashi replied.

Zabuza was actually thinking about that offer, it was truly a good offer and he absolutely hated Gato, especially for all the dirty looks with which he glanced at Haku, it would provide a safe place for her. He lowered his weapon and dispelled his mist jutsu, he came to the decision that it's the best he could do for Haku to accept the offer.

He was about to accept the offer when from the bridge came a voice "the oh so feared Zabuza is getting beaten by some weak Konoha trash, and you call yourself a 'Demon', pathetic. You aren't worth your money, good that I brought my men to cut my losses. Bring me their heads and I will pay you extra but bring me the women alive, I want to have my fun with them, especially that kid with the blue hair!" The person who spoke was none other than Gato, a fat little midget who hides behind his money and his mercenaries.

"Looks like I don't have an employer anymore, that makes accepting your offer only easier," Zabuza said to Kakashi to which he nodded. Haku and the rest of team 7 heard all that and were glad that they didn't have to fight another anymore. But Naruto wasn't thinking about that anymore, he was thinking about something entirely else, how small can he slice that fat midget? He was emitting huge amounts of killing intent towards said midget, it wasn't as potent as when he threatened Sasuke, but it was still enough to make that piece of shit piss himself.

Teams 7, 8 and Zabuza and Haku were readying themselves for the onslaught of the mercenaries, they were now standing together to fight Gato's little private army which amounted roughly 300 men. Suddenly a huge amount of killing intent came over all of them, it came from the sea. Gato's army was covering in fear and many of his men were passing out.

The Shinobi looked towards the sea, some of them knew this kind of potent killing intent, others didn't but what they saw left them speechless. There was a huge shadow covered by mist, it was easily as large as the Hokage monument and it came towards them.

"That has to be a bad dream," Zabuza said, he knew what that thing was and he had absolutely no intention to fight it.

"I'm afraid not, we are very much awake," Kakashi said with a pale face.

As the huge creature came near the mist around it dispersed and revealed a gigantic grey turtle with three large tails. "Who the hell disrupted my sleep?" the giant turtle's voice boomed.

None dared to speak, none except one blond little knucklehead, "what do you mean disrupted your sleep? How could anybody here do something like that?"

Everyone was looking at him with disbelieve, did he really just said that to a tailed beast no less?

"Someone unleashed an extreme amount of killing intent a few days ago and woke me up, and a few moments ago that same killing intent flared again, although weaker this time," the Sanbi said annoyed.

"Oh, that would be me, sorry, didn't mean to wake you up, but there was a teme who tried to hit on my girlfriend, and a few moments ago this fat bastard over there wants to kill us all and then 'have fun' with the women on our side," Naruto replied and unconsciously released some killing intent. Everyone around him sweatdropped at how casually he talks with the Sanbi, only Kurama chuckled at this.

The Sanbi thought about what that little human said and had to confess, it's a legit reason to release a good amount of killing intent if someone hits on your girl or threatens her. But suddenly he heard a chuckle and sensed a chakra that he didn't sense in a very long time, he looked around but couldn't pinpoint from where it came.

Kurama jumped from Hinata's shoulder and walked towards the Sanbi when she stopped she transformed into her human form, smiled at him and said, "hello Isobu-kun, long time no see!"

Isobu was surprised when he saw her but he instantly recognized her chakra and said, "oh, hello nee-chan!"

"How have you been Isobu-kun?" she asked without a care in the world only happy to see her little brother after so long.

"Well I have been better, especially after Yagura-kun died, he was a good kid, until someone messed with his head and placed this damn genjutsu on him, in the end he was killed by some rebel group and I was released from the seal and was sleeping until a few days ago when this little kid woke me up, but how come you are free and your Jinchuuriki is still alive?" replied Isobu.

"Well, I'm only partially free, this kid developed some really powerful jutsu which allows me to be outside the seal without breaking it," she answered.

The two of them continued to talk without a care in the world which was completely surreal for the remaining Shinobi. Gato thought this was the perfect moment and ordered his men to attack and tried to flee while his men would provide a distraction. Unfortunately for him, his plan didn't work, while the two Bijuu were talking, the Shinobi engaged the little army and decimated them without problems since most of Gato's men were only thugs with more brawn than brain. Gato himself was quickly brought to fall, quite literally, Haku threw some Ice-senbon into his calves which brought him to his knees and Naruto punched him hard enough in the back of his head that when his face collided with the pavement of the bridge, it left a dent in the shape of his face, the impact snapped his neck and he died nearly instantaneously.

Only about a dozen thugs managed to flee from the battle, the rest were either unconscious or dead. All the while the two Bijuu kept talking and completely ignored the battle behind them.

After the battle was over, and Kurama and Isobu had finished their talk, he left saying he was going back to sleep. Only moments later the villagers came to the bridge, all with some makeshift weapons, ready to defend their home only to see that the battle was already over.

The Shinobi remained with Tazuna for a few more days until the bridge was completed, the villagers gathered at the bridge to thank them and say their goodbyes to their heroes and Naruto promised Inari that he would visit sometime before they made their way home.

"So, how do we name the bridge?" Tazuna asked.

"How about 'The great Naruto-Hinata bridge'?" Inari said.

"That's a good name Inari, 'The great Naruto-Hinata bridge'" Tsunami smiled.

The group of Shinobi was on their way towards Konoha, the journey would take them about two days. During that time Sasuke did more than once demand that Naruto give him his power since he was an Uchiha elite and Naruto was just a clanless looser. Needless to say, that didn't end well for him, he ended up with a few cracked ribs and a black eye. On the second day of the journey, he almost managed to get himself killed by Zabuza when he tried to pull the same stunt with Haku that he tried with Hinata a few of days before, which was the cause of waking up Isobu.

When they finally reached Konoha, Sasuke looked like he had fought in all three Shinobi world wars, he had multiple cuts all over his body, most of his ribs were cracked or broken, his right arm was nearly cut off and only poorly stitched, he had a black eye, a broken nose, his jaw was broken in three places and he was limping courtesy of Haku's knee to the place where the sun doesn't shine.

They were now standing in front of the old Hokage giving their mission report, Zabuza asked for asylum for him and Haku and to be allowed to join Konoha which hey were granted but he was on probation for six months with the rank of Chunin, after his probation, he could apply for the Jounin exams. Haku was given the rank of Genin without probation since she never was officially affiliated with any village and wasn't a missing-nin.

The teams were dismissed, the Genin and Zabuza went out only the two Jounin remained.

"Is something else the matter that I should know of?" Hiruzen asked.

Kurenai looked towards Kakashi who nodded in response and she said with a serious look on her face, "Hokage-sama, I must request team 8 to be disbanded, Uchiha Sasuke send back to the academy and Haruno Sakura being completely dismissed from the Shinobi forces. They are both unfit to be Shinobi, especially Haruno, she is only a liability to any team that could lead to wounded or even worse dead. Uchiha is an arrogant, selfish, egomaniac prick who demands to be given everything on a silver platter, he should spend a few more years at the academy and should be sent to Ibiki for working on his character. The only reason why I passed them at the real Genin test was because of the civilian council, but the amount of incompetence they showcased at this mission is just too much to overlook. The only Genin on this team from whom I can say he deserves to be a Genin would be Kiba, he may have his faults, but he takes being a Shinobi serious and doesn't demand that he gets everything handed to him. He is serious with his training, can work in a team and follows orders. I would recommend transferring him to another team instead of sending him back to the academy."

To say that the old Hokage was surprised would be an understatement, hearing all this, coupled with the mission report, he had to think about this, Kurenai made many good points, and he knew of the civilian council practically handing Sasuke everything with a golden spoon.

Before he could say anything Kakashi spoke up, "I would recommend putting Kiba on team 7, I think he would work well with the rest of the team, and from what I observed of Haruno and Uchiha, I can only second what Kurenai recommends, and I would also recommend adding Kurenai as a second sensei to team 7."

That surprised Kurenai but she wasn't against it, it would give her the chance to train Hinata. Hiruzen told Kakashi to specify what he meant with his observations, and so did he tell him about the stunts Sasuke pulled on Hinata and Haku, demanding them to be his wife's and bearing his children. Hiruzen was more than angry, he was livid, Sasuke was lucky he wasn't in the office anymore or he wouldn't be alive since the old Hokage was heavily tempted to crack his skull open to see if there was a brain inside.

And from what he heard about Sakura, she was nearly just as bad. He had made his decision, Sasuke would be sent back to the academy and before he could even attempt to take another Genin exam he would have many sessions with Ibiki, Sakura would be fired from the Shinobi forces, and Kiba and Kurenai would be transferred to team 7.

Hiruzen dismissed the two Jounin and they bowed before they left, he ordered two of his ANBU to bring Sakura and Sasuke, the ANBU shunshined out of the office and returned 5 minutes later with the two persons they were tasked to bring before him.

He let a wave of his killing intent loose on the two Genin before he spoke with a serious tone, "you two are both demoted. Haruno, you are completely removed from the Shinobi forces. Uchiha, you are sent back to the academy and will report weekly to Ibiki for extensive character development sessions and will only be allowed to retake the Genin exams IF he deems you worthy."

Sakura was devastated, she broke down and cried and screamed that it was all Naruto's fault, his and his whore of a girlfriend and that her mother was right he is a demon. That was a big mistake, she was immediately under arrest and another ANBU was sent to retrieve her mother for violating a particular law.

Sasuke, on the other hand, was livid, he demanded that he was not to be demoted and that he was to be given Naruto's power and all his jutsus since he was an Uchiha elite, and he also demanded to be transferred to ANBU and given his own squad.

Hiruzen had extreme difficulties to restrain himself from cracking Sasuke's skull open. He had enough, "Uchiha Sasuke, you are hereby charged with insubordination and sentenced to prison for 5 years! You are barred from taking the Genin exams ever again, your chakra will be permanently sealed to a minimum for the life of a civilian!" Hiruzen roared.

That silenced the young Uchiha, he was taken away by two ANBU and brought to the I/T headquarters to be sealed and then brought to prison.

The old Hokage knew the civilian council will be livid but he didn't care, enough was enough and he is the Hokage, it was time to remind them who was in charge and if they tried anything there would be hell to pay, the time of him being too soft was over.

AN: Chapter 8 is done! I know, recruiting Zabuza and Haku is pretty much cliché, but I like them. I hope you enjoyed the chapter, keep reading and reviewing. Thanks for reading.
