Pairings:

SasuNaru/ Magnet Shipping

I... wow...

When I updated this story, it almost instantly got over 1000 more hits on it. Do... you guys like this story this much? Even with my faulty updating schedule, fail humor, and the somewhat potential SasuNaru coming? I'm... really happy. Seriously... I was actually crying when I saw it because I always think my writing is so shitty and unfocused on the main point. To see people like it this much makes me happy.

Thanks guys! :D

Also... actually... this isn't OUTRIGHT SasuNaru. It's there... just... not explicitly focused on... and is more so there for my pure enjoyment. After all, this is Humor/Adventure! Why waste time with a lot of romance (which is what the Naruto manga seems to have become as of late...)? *I'm saying this because I notice a few not necessarily slash/yaoi fans have favorited/followed this story and I hope you're able to enjoy it without the SasuNaru getting in the way*

/is starting to notice that all of her stories have some really dark moments O_O"

Summary:

Ever wondered what would happen if The Log constantly threw a wrench in Sasuke's path of revenge? Well, we shall now explore that theory. And what's this? Why is Naruto bowing to a log?

Warnings: Super being officially cliche, some weirdness, Naruto's mouth, lots of OOCness (this is is crack! Expect it!), a bit of some crazed angst, and maybe some other warnings I'm too lazy to remember/think of.

The Log. (Yeah, the Log gets its own warning)

Cheating (I'm ending this damn arc in three chapters because DANG IT THIS IS LONG)

'Thoughts.'

"Speech."


Second Time: Wave Arc Part Five

Last time:

"FABULOUS!"

We now return you to your regular Holy Log:

Zabuza was propelled a few meters away from the tree where his beloved sword was still digging into. Taking a few moments to set his jaw back in place, he aimed a glare at the blond brat who had kicked him (surprisingly hard) in the face. The brat didn't look deterred, matching the glare with one of his own, but it wasn't an annoyed one like his own. Oh no. That was just too improbable these days.

It was one that could fucking melt curtains. One that seemed WAY too familiar.

This put off Zabuza for he had a sneaking suspicion of what exactly was going on. He decided to vocalize an inquiry as he slowly edged away from the blond, just in case it was what he thought it was. "Why are you so angry already? I haven't told you wh-"

"FUCKER HURT A TREE."

Zabuza resisted the urge to facepalm. 'Of course...'

Kakashi also had a similar conflict, but his will to not betray any emotion won out.

Sakura had no such qualms against expressing her distaste for the scene as the evidence by the loud 'smack' that resonated throughout the area proved such. 'For the love of...'

"Look kid," Zabuza said, summoning his sword to his side and fastening it onto his neck. "Just let me kill the bridge builder and then let me do whatever I need to make up my... 'wrongdoing'."

Kakashi put down Naruto's Log and moved to get into a battle stance when Naruto began to walk forward, a pleasant smile on his face. Zabuza, believing that the kid wanted to shake on the deal, moved forward to the land and off the water. Team 7 and their client watched in shock as their teammate stop at the edge of the water in front of Zabuza. It was just too bizarre to be real.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes, lifting his hands. Way too bizarre.

At the same time, Zabuza lifted up one of his own hands, causing Naruto to stare at it. "So... we have a deal?"

Naruto lifted his eyes to meet Zabuza's as he lifted his own hand. Kakashi moved forward to stop the blond, seeing Zabuza's other hand inch towards his sword. "No! Naruto!"

His hand hesitated right in front of Zabuza's, but the hesitation only lasted for a moment. However, it didn't go towards the missing-nin's hand anymore.

"Hell no." With one swift movement, Naruto had grabbed Zabuza's shirt and yanked the tall man down to his eye level. "Now, Sasuke!"

"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique)!" Zabuza was already off balance from the sudden height adjustment, not to mention the shouting in his ear, but the fiery ball of hell along with the growing red tint of the background behind the insane young man before him was not helping.

Naruto shoved past Zabuza in a desperate dash to reach the water with Zabuza right behind him. Unfortunately for Zabuza and his off-balanceness, his foot got caught in the fiery blaze, eliciting a few silenced hisses from the man. Then, the water went still while the fire ball continued to wreck destruction, luckily missing the forest. Sasuke shall live for another day.

Kakashi sighed in relief when the two finally re-surfaced, even if it was with Naruto holding Zabuza in a headlock and shouting odd obscenities. He approached them, hands in his pockets and watched the scene with a small amount of amusement. Looking at such a similar experience that he had from another viewpoint, he now saw why the deity loved torturing him.

The crazed look of fear in Zabuza's eyes was absolutely priceless!

Sasuke let out a soft sigh of relief when Naruto had resurfaced. He really shouldn't have, now that he thought about it. The blond always had a way of coming back... whether you wanted him to or not.

Tazuna stood a little ways behind Sakura, unsure of what to make of the situation. Sakura was in the same boat though with a hella lot more annoyance.

"Fucking assterd! You honestly thought I'd allow such disrespect to the Holy Log fly by so easily!?" Naruto pulled on Zabuza's hair as if he was in some petty catfight over a boy and forcing Zabuza to expose his neck. "WELL, LET ME TELL YOU, BITCHBURN, THAT YOU ARE-!"

He was suddenly cut off when three needles, pointy and shiny, dug themselves in Zabuza's neck. Naruto paused in his tirade to admire their shininess and reached to touch them himself. "Pretty, pretty, shiny, shiny..."

SLAP!

"Eh?" Naruto cried in surprise, not pain, when his hand was slapped away from Zabuza's neck by pale hand. He looked up only to be met with mas with strange markings on it as well as the symbol for Kiri.

"Uh..." Naruto looked at the other, now realizing how awkward it must look for him to ave his legs wrapped around Zabuza's chest with his arms around the man's neck. The other didn't say anything in favor of poking Zabuza's side, causing the apparently-out-of-it man to fall in the direction of the push.

"Timber!"

Kakashi narrowed his eyes when he saw the young man kneel down and place Zabuza's limp body on his back. 'A hunter-nin? But... don't they just mutilate the body right where they are regardless of who's watching?'

Walking quickly, he approached the young man who just jumped back. "I apologize for any trouble Zabuza has caused for you and your team and I thank you and the Holy Log for your aid in me catching him."

With that, the young man vanished in a puff of smoke, along with Zabuza. Kakashi stared in horror at the spot the man was just in. Meanwhile, Naruto had surfaced, coughing as he did. Sakura, Tazuna, Sasuke, and Kakashi all turned to stare, all thinking the same thing.

'Oh kami, not another one...'


MWUAHAHAHA-*cough**cough**cough*...

Uh... this is... I don't know. Multiple times, I've re-written the spot with the fiery ball of hell because I believed the moment was getting too dark and was overshadowing the humor. It just depends...

Either way, thank you for the reviews, for reading, for faving, for following, and a hella lot more! :D

Please continue to do so! I think I have the beginnings for the next chapter planned out and I might update again in March. :)

Till next time, guys!
