I Don't Own Naruto
Naruto groaned as he pushed himself upwards into a seated position rubbing his eyes he noticed he was in a bed. Blinking the blond looked around the room, he was clearly still in Taki the structure, the architecture and view from the window were all dead give aways.
"Ah Naruto-san you're awake," spoke a voice from to his left, in an instant Naruto turned a kunai of ice forming in his hand as he turned. Upon seeing Shibuki Naruto allowed the kunai to melt taking a quick breath.
"How long was I out?" asked Naruto looking to the Taki Shinobi.
"Half a day, and as I understand things I owe you a thank you," said Shibuki, Naruto simply waved off the man.
"The shinobi that attacked," spoke Naruto.
"What of them?" asked Shibuki looking to the blond confused.
"Were any captured alive?" questioned Naruto
"No, why do you ask?" inquired Shibuki.
"Because I suspect they were working for someone," spoke Naruto looking down.
"What makes you say that? They were Taki shinobi at one point," pointed out Shibuki.
"Because Suren used a jutsu that is a very closely guarded secret in Kiri," declared Naruto before the door opened an in walked Kakashi.
"Good to see you up Naruto," spoke Kakashi with an eye smile.
"I'm sorry Naruto-san how do you know it's such a closely guarded jutsu?" asked Shibuki.
"Because I was briefly taken as an apprentice to a Kiri shinobi," said Naruto causing both other men present to raise an eyebrow.
"Kisame Hoshigaki," spoke Kakashi, causing Naruto to let out an irritated sigh.
"Fine two Kiri Shinobi, one who I wasn't what he was looking for in an apprentice and the other who promised to teach me everything he knew, I asked both of them about the jutsu and they told me that not even missing nin taught the jutsu to anyone unless they originate from within the land of water," replied Naruto
"They could have stolen a scroll on the Jutsu," pointed out Shibuki.
"Well they could, if it had ever been written down, like I said it's a closely guarded jutsu," declared Naruto.
"Hmm that is troubling, but there is nothing that can be done about it now," declared Shibuki.
"The doctors here say you're suffering an acute case of chakra exhaustion, but should be ok to leave by tomorrow," declared Kakashi in a somewhat nervous tone, Naruto could understand why, the man was a jonin and as such was always on guard, he clearly wanted to leave as soon as possible despite the fact they were in an allied village.
"Give me a minute then call the doctors I should be fine," spoke Naruto swinging his legs out of the bed drawing confused looks from the two elder shinobi. Naruto wobbled slightly as he stood before walking over to his blade that was lying against a nearby wall. Wrapping his hand around the hilt of Samehada he felt chakra flood his body easily refilling his reserves to safe levels, the healing power of his own chakra and Akane's making short work of the side effects of chakra exhaustion.
The blond quickly flicked his weapon up and over his shoulder before the weapon slipped into the sheath on Naruto's back as he turned back to Kakashi and Shibuki.
"Well then, I'll just go get the doctors," declared Shibuki confused at what just happened before leaving the room, Kakashi however raised an eyebrow at Naruto.
"You looked a little anxious to leave," spoke Naruto simply getting a shrug from Kakashi who then too left the room.
"Are you sure about telling him that?" asked Akane within Naruto's mind as Kakashi left the room.
"Yes that way when what happened in Kiri comes to light I shouldn't be linked to what happened immediately," spoke Naruto mentally.
"I know you don't want to let people know what you did away from Konoha but you are playing a dangerous game Naruto, I've seen ninja turn on each other for a lot less," replied Akane seriously.
"I know" declared Naruto.
#About An Hour Later#
"Thank you, you four you kindness won't be forgotten anytime soon," said Shibuki as he stood outside his village seeing the four Konoha ninja and Fuu off.
"Of course Shibuki-sama we're allies we couldn't just leave while you were in trouble," said Kakashi. Shibuki nodded then turning to Fuu.
"Remember your promise Fuu," said Shibuki getting a vigorous nod from the girl who was standing next to Naruto.
"And you Naruto better look after her or I will hunt you down," said Shibuki glaring at Naruto who glared back.
"I would sooner run myself through with the dullest and rustiest blade under the sun," declared Naruto.
"Good," said Shibuki.
"Alright you two break it up we should probably head off, right Kakashi-san?" questioned Fuu looking towards Kakashi, who nodded to the girl.
"She's right break it up you two," said Kakashi pushing the two glaring men apart, Naruto then nodded to Shibuki who nodded back, before the blond then turned and began walking away, Fuu quickly smiled to Shibuki before running after Naruto who waited a moment for her. With that the rest of team seven nodded to the leader of Taki before following Naruto and Fuu.
#Several Hours Later#
The five ninja had been walking for a few hours Fuu and Naruto bonding while the others just watched on but eventually the inevitable question was asked.
"So Naruto since when did you have a sister and why was she in a deferent country?" asked Ino not entirely sure of the situation.
"We're not actually blood related," said Fuu not really wanting to go into much more detail.
"Then how are you two siblings?" questioned Ino pressing for the information.
"She and I share a burden that links us together along with several others around the world and that's all you need to know Ino," said Naruto not at all ready to reveal his tenant to his team nor wanting to reveal Fuu's at all. Luckily for the two Jinchuriki at that moment a messenger hawk swooped down to land on Kakashi's outstretched arm, the silver haired jonin took the scroll attached to the hawk's leg and began reading over it, his eyes widened at what he read.
"Alright you four Hokage-sama has another mission for us, a team was sent on a mission and are requesting back up so we are head towards the land of waves to meet them and back them up should any trouble arise but from here on out you four will need to listen to exactly what I say when I say it got it?" questioned Kakashi getting a nod from the now nervous genin, excluding Naruto, who reached down and squeezed Fuu's hand reassuredly, she looked at him nervousness etched onto her face.
"I won't let anything happen to you I promise," declared the blond Shinobi making Fuu nod at him smiling gratefully at his comment.
"Thanks Nii-san," said Fuu. With that the five ninja changed their direction and ran towards the land of waves.
#The Next Day Midday#
Team seven plus Fuu had been running for several hours now at high speeds to try and make it to where they were needed to back up team ten, the five of them ran out of the tree line where they came to a coast, where four ninja two civilians and one boat were situated.
"Kakashi?" questioned one of the four ninja.
"Asuma Hokage-sama sent us as backup," said Kakashi as he and his team walked up to Asuma and his team.
"Please as if any of you could help us," snorted Sasuke.
"What the hell is your problem?" growled Fuu glaring at the Uchiha.
"Imoto ignore him he's just an arrogant bitch with a stick up his ass sideways," said Naruto putting a hand on the girl's shoulder, as everyone around them snickered at Naruto's comment, even Ino let out a snort at the comment.
"As fun as this conversation is my boat won't be able to hold all of you maybe four of you plus Tazuna and myself," said the rower before Sasuke could retort to Naruto's comment.
"That's ok me and my team will follow along behind," said Kakashi before turning to his team.
"You guys remember the water walking exercise right?" questioned Kakashi getting a nod from Ino, Shino and Naruto and a confused look from Fuu.
"It's ok Fuu I'll carry you across and I'll teach you water walking," said Naruto putting his hand on Fuu's shoulder.
"Well if that's the case lets go," said Tazuna getting a nod from the ninja minus Sasuke who was brooding, Naruto knelt down in front of Fuu who jumped on his back piggy back style, while Asuma's team got one the boat before it pulled out into the open waters and as they said Kakashi and his team followed behind the boat on foot atop the water.
"You ninja will never cease to amaze me," said Tazuna looking back at Kakashi and his team.
The Ninja despite either sitting in a boat or walking across the water were all still vigilant looking out for threats, however after about half an hour of walking the mist parted to reveal a huge structure.
"Wow," said Fuu in awe of the bridge, everyone else wasn't doing much better, excluding Asuma, Kakashi and Naruto.
Another ten minutes passed with no change but then the boatman shut off the engine and started to paddle his boat into shore.
"Why did you stop the motor?" questioned Choji munching on his chips looking back at the now rowing man.
"This is a close to shore as we can get with the motor as Gato has many people on the lookout for anything so keep it down," whispered the boat man, Naruto grit his teeth as he glared down before he began to stride forwards with more purpose and within several more minutes the boat and team seven landed at the shore of the lands of waves, Naruto let Fuu down as everyone got off the boat.
"This is as far as I can take you I hope you finish your bridge Tazuna but this is all I can do," said the boatman.
"You have already done more than enough old friend," said Tazuna as he waked towards the forest followed by the nine ninja as the rower paddled back out before then vanishing into the mist like a phantom into the darkness.
The nine ninja walked along behind Tazuna keeping a vigilant watch around for trouble, Naruto had his senses enhanced with Chakra while not the best, his tracking skills with Samehada he were reasonable. Which is why when he heard a twig snap he on reflex froze water in the air into a kunai which was flung at the twig snap, the ice kunai flew into the bushes, Naruto quickly walked over to the bushes and parted the leaves revealing a terrified white rabbit sitting less than an inch from the ice kunai.
"Don't scare me like that kid," declared Tazuna as he spotted the terrified rabbit.
"Everyone get ready we have company," said Naruto ignoring Tazuna's comment before pulling Samehada off his back with one hand while the other hand became coated in an icy mist, before anyone could question Naruto…
"DOWN," yelled Kakashi as he heard a sound, everyone bar Naruto dropped to the ground a blade as big as Samehada flew through the air passing over everyone at roughly the height of where their necks were previously, Naruto however jumped back as the blade embedded itself in the tree Naruto has just been standing beside.
"Zabuza Momochi daemon of the hidden mist A-rank missing nin former village of Kiri wanted for a failed attempt on the Mizukage's life," spoke Naruto glaring up at the man who now stood on the hilt of the blade in the tree.
"Hmm so the brat knows who I am I'm flattered, and what do we have here, Kakashi Of The Sharingan and Black Smoke Asuma, you two have quite the bounty on your heads," said Zabuza sarcastically when he was talking with Naruto turning serious when he spotted Kakashi and Asuma only for his eyes to lock back onto Naruto and his weapon.
"Where the hell did you get that blade Brat," growled Zabuza glaring at the blond.
"From my dead sensei's hands, before I buried him," growled Naruto glaring back at Zabuza who had just forced Naruto to remember a rather painful memory.
"Don't even start Naruto he died happily because of you," came the voice of Akane equal parts angry and understanding in her tone.
"I know Akane It just gets to me I had to bury the man I called Tou-san," replied Naruto.
"So Kisame's dead Ha serves the fish bastard right," laughed Zabuza.
"Hyoton Hyōga ryū No Jutsu (Ice Style Glacial Dragon)," snarled Naruto as he created a fifty foot long dragon of ice with teeth a foot long themselves, and said dragon lunged at a surprized Zabuza who only just managed to jump out of the way in time.
"DON'T YOU DARE INSULT MY TOU-SAN," roared Naruto as he began to leak a bubbly red chakra that began to form the rough shape of a fox. Both the comment and the fox like cloak shocked both Jonin while the cloak terrified all of the genin minus Fuu
"Kirigakure no Jutsu (Hidden Mist Jutsu)," called Zabuza pulling the mist in around him before fading right into said mist.
"You think my Tou-san didn't teach me this Zabuza you insult him," declared Naruto before he too faded into the mist and a second later a sound of metal hitting flesh rung throughout the clearing and both Zabuza and Naruto reappeared Zabuza with a wound on his side from what looked like Samehada.
"Lucky shot brat," growled Zabuza holding the wound.
"If that was a luck shot then what's this?" growled Naruto flipping through one handed hand signs. "Hyoton Kōri suraisā No jutsu (Ice Release Ice Slicer Jutsu)," called Naruto freezing the water in the air around him into disc shapes that then flew at the former Kiri nin who blocked them with his sword, only for Naruto to then appear beside the blade and slam his free hand onto the blade freezing the blade where his hand laid, Naruto was kicked in the chest and sent flying backwards towards the rest of the nin but he blond landed on his feet just in front of them before bolting forwards once more bringing his blade over his head and slamming it down into the Zabuza's blade as he blocked as Samehada hit Kubikiribocho where the ice had formed a crack in the blade spread to both sides of the butcher's cleaver, making Zabuza growl and go to kick Naruto who jumped back before Zabuza could.
"You'll pay for that brat," said Zabuza before running the blade along his hand making it bleed, the blood flowed down the blade and slid into the crack of the blade sealing it up before it broke. Zabuza then ran towards Naruto his sword in one hand, as Zabuza lunged forwards swinging his blade downwards at Naruto who brought his own blade up to block the blade, only for Zabuza to slam one foot on the ground before swinging his other leg around and slamming it into the side of Naruto's head launching him into the nearby trees.
"Hyoton Hiryū No Jutsu (Ice Style Ice Dragon Jutsu)," Yelled Naruto a dragon of ice flying out of the trees at Zabuza who jumped to the side of the dragon only to then have to raise his blade in defence as Naruto slid down the back of the frozen dragon and attacked the Kiri nin with Samehada. Naruto jumped off his ice dragon landing about twenty feet from Zabuza facing the swordsman glaring at him.
Both men lunged forwards their blades eager to clash once more. However Zabuza jumped to the side as a glowing kunai like blade on the end of a chain flew at him, Zabuza narrowed his eyes at Naruto seeing the chain coming from the boy's hand. Zabuza once more pushed off the ground running forwards flicking a trio of kunai into his open hand.
Naruto narrowed his eyes as Zabuza threw the kunai out wide, knowing what the man was planning didn't help his situation as Naruto was forced to bring his blade up to block Zabuza's own weapon. Thankfully as the kunai curved around and flew back towards Naruto, the glacial dragon moved behind Naruto taking the kunai hits.
Naruto pushed Zabuza's blade to the side before spinning around the man and leaping a small distance away from the swordsman.
The two sword wielding Shinobi stood opposite each other glaring, as a cool wind blew between them they launched from the positions forwards swinging their blades around with an arm each, when the two reached the centre of the clearing their blades once more clashed, Naruto using the blade lock to his advantage lunged forwards fingers curled into a claw like shape he struck Zabuza in the gut with his mist coated hand.
"Son of bitch," growled Zabuza jumping back and clutching the wound as he felt the temperature of the area around the wound drop.
"Naru-kun there's someone else in the area," came the voice of Akane.
"Where?" questioned the blond looking around.
"In the trees to your ten o'clock," declared Akane. Naruto's eyes locked onto the position but then was forced to block a strong downwards swing of Zabuza. Naruto mentally shaped his chakra as before a chain shot out from his back into the ground, Zabuza jumping away just in time as the pointed end of chain burst from the ground beneath the man.
"Hyoton Shimo Buresu (Ice Style Frost Breath)," called Naruto spewing out a cloud of ice that flew towards Zabuza who quickly jumped out of the way of the attack before jumping and slammed his blade down on Naruto who quickly disappeared and was replaced with a leaf.
"Where the hell are you brat?" snarled Zabuza looking around the clearing, it was only Zabuza's experience as a ninja that saved him as Naruto flew at Zabuza from a high tree branch, Zabuza ducked under the genin's foot and as Naruto sailed over him the former Kiri nin shot his own foot up hitting Naruto in the gut making the boy flip backwards, Luckily Naruto flipped far enough to land on his feet and once more lunge at the mist nin.
"Suiton Suiryūdan no Jutsu (Water Style Water Dragon Jutsu)," called Zabuza as Naruto began to lunge sending a dragon made of water from the nearby lake towards the blond, Naruto swung his blade down hitting the dragon as it flew towards him and the second the water touched Samehada all of the chakra was sucked out of the attack making the water drop to the ground in a puddle, Naruto then bolted forwards his free hand once more becoming coated in an icy mist, Zabuza swung his sword down on Naruto who blocked the blade with his own and using his forward momentum he slipped into Zabuza's guard and slammed his free hand into Zabuza's gut making the immediate area freeze. Naruto once more appeared before Zabuza who could do nothing before he was kicked in the stomach sending him flying backwards, pumping chakra into his back the being the only thing that saved his back from snapping as his back hit a tree behind him.
"W-who are you?" questioned the now semi-delirious Zabuza.
"Naruto Uzumaki Yuki Second Monster Of The Mist, and you're going to die by my hands," declared Naruto about to attack the man once more only for a pair of senbon to fly out of the tree line where Akane pointed out a chakra signature earlier.
"I thank you for tiering him out, he was a most tricky capture," declared a voice from behind Naruto, the boy turned around to see a person who looked to be about his age wearing a Kiri issue ANBU mask and the standard Kirigakure pinstriped outfit which stopped at their knees. Over this they wore a green haori with white trimmings, and around their waist a brown sash with a fringed trail wrapped around his waist twice. The hunter nin also wore light-brown platoon sandals with straps in the same colour as their kimono and nail polish on his fingernails and toenails in matching blue green colour. The person's long hair was gathered in a white bun holder, while two locks of their hair fell loose framing the person's masked face, bound with metal hair cuffs at the ends. Had Naruto not caught her scent would have no idea as to the gender of the newcomer. Naruto knelt down and checked Zabuza for a pulse finding none he once more turned around to face the nin.
"All yours Hunter nin-san" declared Naruto stepping away from Zabuza's body, and in a flash the hunter nin appeared in front of the body throwing one arm over his shoulder the nin vanished in a swirl of water, Naruto turned and took a step before he fell to one knee.
"Naruto" called Ino, Shino and Fuu rushing over to their teammate.
"Im good just some chakra exhaustion again" said Naruto trying to push himself up only to stumble a bit before Shino pulled one of the blond's arms over his shoulder.
"Thanks Shino" muttered Naruto looking at the Aburame heir who simply nodded in response.
"How far is your house Tazuna?" questioned Asuma looking back at the man.
"Not far just on the other side of town" declared the bridge builder.
"Alright we better get going" said Kakashi getting a nod from everyone else before the lot of them began walking towards Tazuna's house Sasuke silently glaring at Naruto the whole way.
