AN: Thanks to everyone who read and review. Naruto will be working on some new abilities as will Hinata in this chapter. The wave mission will be started in this chapter as well. Onto the story!

Chapter 7: Wave Part 1: The Maelstrom Comes to Wave and the Demon Appears

Naruto and Hinata woke up one day and went to meet with their team at training ground seven. Over the past month the team has done a total of 26 missions. Their individual skills have also increased as did their teamwork skills thanks to Kakashi giving them assignments that encourage teamwork. He also started training Sasuke and Sakura in Chakra control since Naruto and Hinata were ahead of them in that department. He taught them after being threatened by a prank combination of Naruto and Anko. That in itself is a horror that should never be released.

For the genin Sakura has increased her abilities with her taijutsu style and has a few jutsu under her belt. The jutsus include Magen: Narakumi no Jutsu (Demonic Illusion: Death Mirage Jutsu) that she learned from Kakashi which shows the target their worst nightmare, Magen: Jubaku Satsu (Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death) which shows the victim being trapped by a tree and the user killing them after appearing out of the tree due to being a part of the tree, Furasshu Kosen (Flash Ray) a small flash of chakra that blinds the opponent temporarily, and BanshiSukurichi (Banshee Screech) which lets out a sonic screech that makes people temporarily go deaf and have extreme ear pains for a short time which Anko gave her a scroll for after finding it saying it was "Perfect for her to use". She was also able to complete the tree walking exercise and was working on water walking.

Sasuke had ironed out the flaws in his taijutsu and gained a few new Katon Jutsu (Fire style Jutsu) under his belt including Katon: Kaen Bakufu no Jutsu(Fire Style: Flame Blast Jutsu) which shoots a small wall of fire that rushes at high speeds to its target, Katon: Endan (Fire style: Flame Bombs) which the user creates oil in their mouth and then shoots out a large fireball that can wound or kill depending on how much oil is used, and Katon: Inferuno Yari (Fire Style: Inferno Spear) which creates a small stream of fire that pierces whatever it comes in contact with and that takes the shape of a spear. He also completed Tree climbing and moved on to water walking which he is in the process of learning.

Hinata has worked on her Juho (Gentle step) style of taijutsu and has also increased her chakra capacity exponentially going from high genin level reserves to mid chunin level. She's also been learning how to wield her Sais from an old friend of Kakashi form his ANBU days. The person was ANBU agent Hibari (Skylark), she taught Hinata how to use her sais effectively. She can take down chunin no problem and can hold off low to mid jonin level opponents. She has even better chakra control as well.

Naruto has been training in chakra control completing water walking thanks to his Kage Bunshin. He also has been learning how to use his sword from the ANBU agent Neko (cat) who happened to be Anko's roommate. He also has been working on his Rinnegan powers. He has started mastering the Deva Path ability to control an object's gravity making it light or heavy and even float. He also has started using his Preta Path ability in a combat way by creating four small barriers around the hands and feet allowinghim to absorb someone's chakra with Taijutsu. Human path he found he had a choice in ripping people's souls out. He also has been learning the basic starting exercises of the other elemental affinities thanks to his Kage Bunshin.

Today they are meeting with the Hokage and Iruka for some missions and Kakashi feels that they deserve a reward for their work they've done over the last month.

"Hokage-Sama, I would like to recommend my team for a C-rank mission." Kakashi said. This perked the genin up. Sasuke was tired of D ranks as well as Naruto and Hinata. Hinata didn't mind D ranks but they got tired of them quickly. Naruto hated them but kept it to himself due to fear of what Hinata, Sakura, and Anko would do to him if he made a fool of himself. Sakura was the only one who actually liked ranks. Anko actually wanted to get her head examined by the Yamanakas because that behavior isn't normal.

"Hmmm, Okay I have a C rank for you guys. You have to escort and guard a bridge builder to Nami no Kuni (the Land of Waves) so he can work on a bridge there. You have to guard him from threats as well while he works on the bridge." The Hokage said. Normally Iruka would have yelled that they weren't ready for a C rank mission but the team had been proving to be exceptional. Also he didn't want to be on the receiving end of a prank combo by Naruto and Anko. The last person that was pranked was Ebisu after insulting both Naruto and Anko while also asking Hinata what she saw in Naruto. The prank was he was sedated, stripped naked, suspended over the female section of the hot springs by a rope, and continuously lowered into the horde of screaming females waiting to rip him to shreds only to be raised and then lowered again for about an hour until they dropped him into the hot springs leaving him to his fate.

The Hokage called shinobi over asking to get the client. The client walked through the door and he was an old grey haired man with a large grey beard wearing a pointed hat, a black sleeveless v neck shirt, a pair of black obi pants, and a white towel around his neck came in holding a Sake bottle drinking it.

"Okay this is Tazuna who you'll be guarding." The Hokage told team 7.

"Wait so You're giving me a man who looks like he would rather fall asleep, a woman who looks slutty, A girl who looks like she fell into a vat of Pink paint, a boy who looks like his dog was killed, and actually the last two look like they know what they're doing despite being young." Tazuna said and then took a drink of his Sake.

Anko was being held back by Kakashi from gutting the man where he stood, Sakura and Sasuke had scowls and twitching eyebrows, Kakashi looked impassive, and Naruto and Hinata just laughed at the display going on.

"My name is Tazuna and I'm a super bridge builder from the super awesome Nami no Kuni." Tazuna said to them they nodded and left to pack up their items after being told it would be a month long mission.

They traveled out of the village walking along to their destination. Sakura asked why the land of waves didn't use their own ninja but was then told there were no ninja in the land of waves and that it was a fishing village that was taken over by a tyrant and that the bridge was the only way to reopen trade in the village to save it. As they continued along Naruto, Hinata, Kakashi, and Anko all caught glimpse of two puddles in the middle of a road and it hasn't rained in weeks.

Naruto and Hinata looked at their senseis who nodded signaling them to get ready. Naruto and Hinata moved up faster passing by the puddles. When Kakashi and Anko paased by the puddles two figures jumped out of the puddles and wrapped chains connected by their respective gauntlets around Anko and Kakashi. They pulled the chains and shredded the jonin shocking Sasuke, Sakura, and Tazuna.

"Two down" one of the ninjas said. The two ninjas rushed at the genin. Sakura jumped in front of Tazuna with a kunai in her hands. Sasuke rushed at one of them and kicked them into a tree. Hinata blocked the chakra points of the other and then severed the guys hand with her Sais. Naruto used Shinra Tensei (Almighty Push) on him sending him into the same tree as the first one.

Kakashi and Anko stepped out of the forest unharmed and gestured to the logs that were used in their place. They then confronted Tazuna explaining that they just fought missing ninjas from Kirigakure no Sato (Hidden Mist Village).

"Tazuna you paid for a C rank mission and this just went beyond the scope of a C rank. The next enemy will probably be Jonin level. This is now a B rank bordering A rank mission. And while my genin are exceptional they aren't prepared for this mission. We must leave." Kakshi said.

"Forget it sensei I'm staying. Even if I'm on my own I will protect him. Besides if we leave we will lose respect from various countries." Naruto said. Everyone nodded at that and gained respect for Naruto. They all agreed to continue the mission provided that they get more information on what's going on.

They then took a boat ride across the water to get to Nami no Kuni while Tazuna informed them on the state of the country and that the tyrant Gato of Gato Shipping Industries is actually in charge of a criminal empire that controls Nami no Kuni and takes all of its revenue starving it's people and specializes in Human Trafficking. This fact disgusted Anko, Sakura, and Hinata but they decided to continue on with the mission.

The team disembarked from the boat and continued onward while trying to see through the thick mist. As they were walking Naruto sensed something in the bushes and threw a Kunai at the bush. He then parted the bush to reveal a white rabbit.

"Sorry about that little guy" Naruto said to the rabbit and then started to pet it as did Hinata while everyone relaxed from their guards. Kakashi and Anko however took in the rabbit's fur color as it was white and it was spring. White rabbits wouldn't be out in spring unless it had an owner. And it wouldn't be out without its owner unless it was a…Kawarimi! (Substitution) Kakashi and Anko seemed to have this same thought.

"Get down now!" Anko shouted. Kakashi tackled Tazuna to the ground narrowly avoiding a large blade spinning and flying over head of them. Sasuke ducked, Sakura dived to the left and Anko ducked. Naruto saw that Hinata was about to get hit and not able to avoid in time. So he rushed to her side and was intending to take the blow for her. Instead of the blade cutting through flesh it connected with metal. Naruto had unlocked his Asura path in the form of mechanized armor. He had a steel silver vest that covered the front and back of his torso. The large blade bounced off the metal armor into the ground. Out of the shadows came a large man. The man had short spiky black hair and the bottom half of his face was covered in bandages. He wore no shirt but had a belt harness on his chest for the sword. He was muscular, had a pair of striped baggy pants, and wore his headband for Kirigakure sideways on his head. The symbol was of four squiggly lines, two on the top half and two on the bottom. He was Momochi Zabuza the Kirigakure no Kijin(The Demon of the Hidden Mist).

"Isn't this a surprise Sharingan no Kakashi (Kakashi of the Sharingan) and Anko Hebi no Joo (Anko the Snake Queen) as well as a Genin that can block Kubikiribocho (Decapitation Carving Knife). This is going to be fun hehehe." Zabuza said and started cackling evilly. Sasuke froze after hearing Kakashi's moniker.

"Momochi Zabuza, The Kirigakure no Kijin. I guess Anko and I have to take you out. Considering your past. In Kiri the graduation exam was you were to kill a classmate in a duel but you killed an entire class and you weren't even a student. " Kakashi said and then turned to the Genin. "Guys protect Tazuna in Bokkusu (Box) formation. The genin nodded and then surrounded Tazuna with Sasuke in front of him holding a kunai, Sakura on Tazuna's left holding a kunai, Naruto on Tazuna's right wielding his sword, and Hinata behind Tazuna wielding her sais. All had their backs facing Tazuna.

"Zabuza it seems Kakashi and I will be fighting you. I'll enjoy taking your head in for a bounty as well as drinking your blood. Kukuku." Anko said drawing her Kunai. Kakashi lifted the headband over his left eye bringing it across his forehead. He opened his left eye revealing a red eye with a black pupil and three black tomoe around the pupil. Sasuke saw the eye and was in shock.

"Ooh the Sharingan right off the bat. I'm honored." Zabuza said and wielded his large blade. He rushed at Kakashi and Anko swinging his blade trying to cleave them in two. Anko jumped over it with a backflip and Kakashi ducked under it bringing his leg up and kicking Zabuza in the chest which pushed him back.

"That sharingan is rather impressive Kakashi. I'll enjoy cutting it out of your eye socket!" Zabuza said and rushed at him again.

The genin were watching the battle in awe but Sakura was confused about something. "Hang on what is the Sharingan?" she asked

"The sharingan is the dojutsu of the Uchiha clan. The sharingan gives the wilder the ability to see chakra flow. It also gives clarity of perception which allows us to break genjutsu as well as see if one was cast. With it we can also cast and break genjutsu with it." Sasuke explained and then thought to himself. 'Is Kakashi an Uchiha?'

"Accurate explanation brat but you missed something. The sharingan allows people to copy people's movements along with jutsus. That's why Kakashi is known as the man who copied over a thousand jutsu." Zabuza said making the genin look in shock at that bit of information.

Zabuza then decided to change the playing field. He went to the tiger sign for hand seals. He then raised his left hand still in the seal above his head while keeping his right hand in place. "Kirigakure no Jutsu! (Hidden Mist Jutsu)" Zabuza said. A white mist formed around him that he disappeared in.

No one could see him. Hinata was about to activate her Byakugan when she heard something that made her freeze.

"Eight points, Larynx, Spine, Lungs, Liver, Jugular, Subclavian Artery, Kidneys, Heart" Zabuza's voice said laced with Killer Intent. Everyone froze except Naruto, Anko, and Kakashi.

Sasuke had a bead of sweat roll down his forehead. 'This is when jonin battle? This is what it feels like to witness the rush, the adrenaline, and the pain? It's exhilarating. I can't take it. I'll lose my mind if this up!' Sasuke thought frantically. He was then broken out of his thoughts.

"Gaki calm down! We won't let any of you die." Anko said to Sasuke which calmed him down since he didn't realize he had a Kunai to his neck about to take his own life. Kakashi was looking for Zabuza when he was cut in half by Zabuza's blade. Zabuza then disappeared and came in front of Hinata intent on cutting her to get to the bridge builder. Anko shot her Snakes but they weren't going to get there in time. Naruto used Kawarimi with her to switch places with her and gave Zabuza a glare with his rinnegan activated.

Zabuza froze at the eyes unknown to him but strangely thinking they were familiar to him.

"You tried to hurt my Hinata-chan! I will destroy you! Shinra Tensei!" Naruto yelled at Zabuza sending him flying backwards by an invisible force. Zazbuza flew backwards and was kicked from behind by something. He then turned into water revealing himself tom be a Mizu Bunshin (water clone). The thing he was hit by was Kakashi who was found to have substituted with a log.

Anko and Kakashi stood back to back with kunai drawn. Zabuza appeared and slashed at them repeatedly. They were driven towards a lake where Zabuza went through hand signs as did Kakashi. Ox-Monkey-Hare-Rat- Boar-Bird-Ox-Horse-Bird-Rat-Tiger-Dog-Tiger-Snake-Ox-Ram-Snake-Boar-Ram-Rat-Yang Water-Monkey-Bird-Dragon-Bird-Ox-Horse-Ram-Tiger-Snake-Rat-Monkey-Hare-Boar-Dragon-Ram-Rat-Ox-Monkey-Bird-Yang Water-Rat-Boar-Bird.

They both went through the same hand seals. "Suiton: Suiryudan no Jutsu! (Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu)" they yelled. Two large dragons made out of water collided with each other. The collision made water fall and blind everyone. Kakashi and Anko were then attacked from behind by Zabuza and driven onto the water. Zabuza then went through hand seals. Snake-Ram-Horse-Hare-Ram-Horse-Hare. He then placed his palm in front of them. "Suiro no Jutsu! (Water Prison Jutsu)" a ball of weater formed around them and kept them trapped inside. Kakashi and Anko were still able to talk even though they were underwater.

"Run! It's your mission to protect Tazuna! Go now!" Kakashi yelled.

"That option flew out the window when you got captured Sensei! If we run you die and then we get killed by him later. We have to fight now!" Naruto yelled drawing his sword. Every one of the genin nodded and while Kakashi was pissed he was also glad that they understood the meaning of teamwork.

"Ha! You brats can't beat me! You can't even beat my Mizu Bunshins. Zabuza then created 4 clones from the water. They rushed at the genin. Sasuke kicked one clones head off. Sakura and Hinata guarded Tazuna while Naruto created three Kage Bunshin who destroyed the last three.

"Ooh genin that can fight. But you're still nothing until you enter the Bingo book. So now I guess I'll kill you after I kill your senseis. Don't worry you'll be joining them soon enough. For you see I am the greatest Mist Ninja of all ti-!" He was cut off by an Invisible force that pushed him into a tree. Then that tree broke and pushed into another and then it broke and so on until he flew through 6 trees. He got up with splinters in his back.

"Okay whiskers let's go!" Zabuza said brandishing his sword. Naruto pulled out his own Katana rinnegan activated.

"Bring it No-Brows!" Naruto yelled charging Zabuza.

Zabuza cleaved at Naruto to split him in half. Naruto brought his sword overhead and blocked it. He then used his gravity manipulation to send Zabuza's sword back. Naruto jumped up and kicked the staggering Zabuza in the chest with a thrust kick. Naruto then back flipped. On to his feet and rushed Zabuza. Zabuza swung his sword to separate Naruto's upper and lower halves. Naruto jumped over the swing and brought his sword down on Zabuza cutting his chest. Naruto then jumped backwards walking on the water. Zabuza was now getting into the fight.

"Well done brat but not many people can wound me. So now it's time I step it up!" He went through hand signs. Tiger-Ox-Monkey-Rabbit-Ram-Boar-Ox-Horse-Monkey-Tiger-Dog-Tiger-Snake-Tiger-Ox-Monkey-Rabbit-Bird. "Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu! (Water style Giant Vortex Jutsu)" A large wave formed behind him and then surged toward Naruto like a waterfall. Naruto just held his hands outward and absorbed the chakra from the Jutsu shocking Zabuza and everyone greatly. Naruto then did one final thing. He held his hand out and said "Shinra Tensei! (Almighty Push)" Zabuza was thrown into a tree and couldn't move.

"W-What are you kid?" Zabuza muttered at Naruto.

Naruto walked over and turned his hand into a long whip like blade covered in spikes thanks to his Asura path. "Your death" Naruto said as he got ready to kill him until some senbon launched into Zabuza's neck killing him. A figure then came out wearing a white mask with red markings. The figure wore a green haori and brown pinstriped pants. The figure had long black hair.

"Thank you for stopping him for me. I would have had trouble fighting him on my own if you hadn't stopped him for me." The figure said.

"It was no trouble" Kakashi said to the figure and then went up to Zabuza's corpse checking to see if he was dead. Kakashi felt no pulse.

"I will take the body back for reward so I thank you for your service." The figure said and then picked up Zabuza's body and disappeared. Kakashi then pulled his headband over his eye again and told the genin they would be leaving until he fell passing out from exhaustion from over using his sharingan. Naruto made two shadow clones to pick him up as they went to Tazuna's house to rest up. They would prepare for the rest of the mission when Kakashi awoke.

AN: Sorry it took so long but It's done. Updates will be sporadically done. I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I also might write a second story. Another Naruto story. I think a harem/so godlike it's hilarious. A kekkai genkai that allows you to copy other kekkai genkai and powers that Kyuubi would give him and it would involve dimension hopping so expect lots of crossovers. Let me know what you think. It also would be more for comedy but I want to see what people would think of it. Just so you know Hinata would be in it and if you want more info on the kekkai genkai review for it and I will tell on the next review. Now onto the reviews.

Rose Tiger: glad you liked it and he would be psychologically scarred if it continues.

Bhdragons: glad you liked it. There will be fluff in later chapters so don't worry.

New to Naruto: glad you enjoyed it. Glad you like Anko's humor. Kushina may do just that somehow later on. You never know. Tora loves Hinata because she is kind and likes Naruto because he can summon all animals. As for that playing out with the shinobi they have a plan on getting rid of the most annoying mission ever.
