Tazuna's house:
As team seven arrived at Tazuna's house they were greeted by a worried women "Father your ok?" she yelled as she saw Tazuna.
Smiling kindly at her he said "I'm home Tsunami, and these are the ninjas I brought to protect me"
Returning his smile the newly dubbed Tsunami said "well then, you'd all better come inside, I'm sure your all tired from your long trip, I'll start cooking then."
Nodding his head Kakashi said "thank you for your generosity." Receiving a warm smile in return Tsunami said
"No problem at all, your here to keep my father safe and save our country, the least I can do is give you a nice home cooked meal"
Once they entered the house Naruto looked around and asked Tazuna, "Are they any spare rooms we could borrow?"
Nodding Tazuna lead them upstairs "these two rooms here are out guest rooms." Nodding Kakashi turned to his students
"Well, since they only fit two each, me and Sasuke will take this one and Naruto and Hinata you can take the other." Hinata blushed at the idea of sleeping in the same room as Naruto.
After putting their gear in their rooms they headed downstairs for the food Tsunami, after saying Itatakimasu they dug into their food. With Naruto and Sasuke eating at an insane pace, while Hinata ate with a more respectable speed, in a manner that is befitting a Hyuga. Kakashi, he popped his mask down for less than a second before devouring all his food and pulling the mask back up so fast no one ever saw his face. Just as he finished pulling up his mask he struck him. He knew what to train his students in. Smirking under his mask Kakashi said "Starting tomorrow you three are going to be training to fight Zabuza and his fake hunter Nin." Kakashi's smirk widened as he saw his three students shiver at the mention of training.
A clearing in the forest: The next day:
"Ok listen up, Naruto, you are going to finish your elemental control exercises, use a maximum of ten kage bunshin to help." At this Hinata spoke up
"A-ano? How does Kage bunshin, h-help you train?" smirking Kakashi replied
"Well everything a Kage bunshin learns is returned to its master when it is destroyed or dispelled. And before you ask about Naruto using more than ten clones to train. The Kage bunshin is a Kinjutsu for two reasons. The first is the massive chakra drain, if you're not careful you could die from chakra exhaustion just by creating one Kage bunshin. The second reason is mental strain. The brain is only designed to handle one set of memories for a time frame. If you summon too many clones it can't handle the strain of all the extra memories and you die. Naruto can use thousands of shadow clones in combat as the memories are nearly identical, so the brain doesn't have much of a problem with near duplicate memories. But with training, since every set of memories is unique and different, it strains the brain, even with Naruto's impressive healing abilities he would only be able to handle around ten sets of memories before permanent brain damage."
Gasping at the risk Naruto is in every time he uses his favourite Jutsu Hinata turns to Naruto, who just smiles and says "it's worth the risk to protect my friends." Is all Naruto says before forming the clones and getting to work.
With Naruto working Kakashi turns to Sasuke "you will be with me at the bridge guarding Tazuna, while we are there we will work on unlocking your Sharingan, it will be helpful in the upcoming battle."
Finally looking at Hinata Kakashi says "while you are now quite well versed in the art of Juken, you are not skilled in areas other than your clan Hijutsu. As such you will be learning the water techniques from the scroll." Tossing the scroll to Hinata Kakashi says "start at the top and work your way down" before grabbing Sasuke and disappearing in a cloud of smoke.
Giving a slight sigh at only having a scroll to learn from Hinata picks up the scroll and starts training in the first Jutsu, a C-rank called Suiton: Teppodama
Tsunamis house: 4 days later:
Team seven was sitting around the table eating their dinner in the usual manner, when all of a sudden a loud bang is heard as the table shakes, looking to the source of the bang they see little Inari has his hands on the table like he slammed them down and his head hung "Why do you even bother, your all going to die" he yelled at the playful ninja. 'How can they be so happy when they are facing Gato, no one can beat Gato, they will die'
Naruto just smirked and said "nu-ah, were going to kick their butts"
Yelling again Inari said "No you're not, you can't beat Gato, you don't even know what suffering is..." all of a sudden the boy is frozen still as an intense burst of killing intent is unleased.
"I don't know what suffering is? I grew up on the streets; alone, both my parents dead the day I was born and my village hated me for my very existence! The very first word I learnt was not mother, or father, it was help! So that someone could save me from being nearly being beaten to death, again! I lost count of the number of times people tried to kill me, especially on my birthday, on my birthday they would hunt me across town the entire day until I collapsed from exhaustion before beating and stabbing me! The only reason I'm alive is thanks to my ANBU guards, one of whom adopted me, that was my first happy memory. 5 years and only one happy memory! You're the one who doesn't know what suffering is, You still have your mother and grandfather, you are not constantly hunted, treated as worse than rapist and murders!" with that Naruto walked out the door, slamming it so hard behind him it nearly came off its hinges.
Looking at Kakashi, Tazuna asked "his life wasn't that bad was it?"
Shaking his head Kakashi said "No...It was much worse, that's only what he can remember. His first assignation attempt was when he was around 3 hours old."
Gasping Tsunami and Tazuna realized just how lucky their little Inari truly was.
The next day: A clearing in the forest:
Naruto lay asleep on the ground, having train himself to exhaustion after losing his cool at Inari. 'Stupid little runt, doesn't even know what suffering is.' Unknown to the sleeping Naruto a person with long hair and a pink Kimono with flowers on it approached senbon in hand. When they reached Naruto they swung their hand down, planning to stab the senbon into Naruto's eye. Just before the senbon could reach Naruto's eye the person saw him shifting, his eyes starting to open. Quickly flicking the senbon into the inside of the kimono sleeve the person looks down and says "you shouldn't sleep outside, you could catch a cold"
Naruto opening his eyes saw one of the most beautiful women he has ever seen, wearing a smile that practically radiated warmth. Smiling at her Naruto said "Don't worry, I don't get sick."
Returning his smile the women asks "So what are you doing here?"
Sitting up and scratching the back of his head sheepishly Naruto replies "um... I kinda fell asleep training"
Looking at him, not even showing a flicker of an emotion other then caring on her face she asks "so you're a ninja then?"
Nodding Naruto says "yep, see my headband right here" as he points to the headband on his forehead. "That reminds me, what's your name and what are you doing out here?"
At that her right hand twitched slightly, something Naruto did not miss, and she said "My names Haku, and I'm picking herbs for my friend, he hurt himself."
Nodding Naruto said "can I help" getting a nod in response the two went off to pick some herbs. With Naruto actually noticing some good herbs that Haku would have otherwise missed.
"Well, I best be going, cya" said Haku before heading away and saying "by the way, I'm a boy"
Smiling Naruto said "Say high to Zabuza for me" and with that he disappeared before a senbon imbedded itself into a tree in front of where Naruto was standing.
Morning the next day: Tazuna's house:
Naruto was rudely awoken by the sound of shouting. Heading downstairs he saw Tsunami being kidnapped by two samurai, just as Inari charged them with a butchers knife Naruto appeared behind the one holding Tsunami, knocking him out with a chop to the neck. The Samurai fall to the ground with thud, turning around the other samurai saw that some little blond kid had downed his partner, in a blind attack he charged at Naruto. Shaking his head Naruto flickered behind him and also knocked him out with a chop to the neck.
Quickly tying them up Naruto said "you did good trying to save your mom, now stay here and watch her for me" before flickering out the door towards the bridge.
The same time: The Bridge:
As Kakashi, Hinata, Sasuke and Tazuna approached the bridge they saw the bodies of the workers littering the ground and a laughing noise. Turning to the noise they saw Zabuza with his Zanbato coated red in blood standing next to the fake hunter Nin and two other nins.
"Seems you lost a brat Kakashi" smirked Zabuza, pissed that he had lost the first battle.
Retorting Kakashi said "and I see you're so pathetic you picked up more aid to help you"
Growling Zabuza said "Oh, I plan to kill you myself, but my two friends here will slaughter your little brats. You already know Haku; now meet Sato Daito and Kato Daiki." Gesturing to the two Shinobi, the first was five and a half feet tall, but quite skinny. Wearing a dark blue shirt and black plants with a bluish green coloured sword sheafed on his back. While the second Shinobi was a sickly pale white with a picture of a wave on his forehead, wearing dark blue shirt and pants, he had a pair of blacked out goggles on his forehead. Putting his hands in a seal ten Mizu bunshin surround team seven, yet before they can move they are all dispersed and Sasuke is standing there Kunai and hand and eyes red with the Sharingan.
Smirking Zabuza says "I see you got the last Uchiha, too bad he dies here. Haku, take the Uchiha, Daito kill the Hyuga brat. Daiki, the bridge builder is yo..." Zabuza was interrupted when he felt chakra underneath him and as he dived out the way he saw a stream of lightning shoot up from the bridge where he was standing seconds ago. Frowning slightly Zabuza says "Daiki, looks like you get the blond brat, be careful." At this Daiki just grunted
"I am the Demon that dwells within the bloody mist. The bringer of death, some brat won't stop me." just then he was shot into the air as a jet of wind appeared out of the ground.
When Zabuza shouting "Kirigakure no Jutsu" the bridge was instantly surrounded in mist. Knowing that he can't blow away the mist now that's here Kakashi doesn't waste chakra on a wind Jutsu.
With Sasuke:
Sasuke stood 2 meters away from the masked Nin, both of them glared coldly at each other. An eternal stare down between two foes of great power. Then in a split second the silence of broken by the sound of kunai hitting senbon. Letting go of the senbon Haku grabbed the wrist of the hand holding the kunai. Smirking Sasuke said "seems like we're even."
With the mask not portraying any emotion Haku said "No we are not. First we are surrounded by water, and second, I can use one handed seals. With the spare hand Haku started flashing through seals. With a soft breath of "Sensatsu Suisho" the water rose into the air and formed into a thousand ice senbon. As they came flying towards him Sasuke channelled chakra to his legs and jumped high into the air, out of the way of the needles.
Only to land right in Haku's trap. As the temperature of the air suddenly dropped Sasuke looked around to see the water around him rising to form ice mirrors. Suddenly a voice sounded out all around him "Makyo Hyo satsu"
With Hinata:
"You are a lucky whore!" spat the young mist nuke Nin. Smirking at the gasp he received he continued. "I can tell from here you have a Kekkai Genkai, Konoha just loves their little Kekkai Genkai don't they? I bet your bedding that Uchiha brat for his Sharingan."
At this strange mans taunts Hinata felt a deep rage building. 'I'd never betray Naruto, even if he doesn't love me yet he will!" not realizing how sore a spot he had reached by saying that she was with the Uchiha Daito charged, sword drawn, just as he was three feet away from her Hinata let out a cry of rage. Grabbing a kunai she tried to block his strike but his sword just sliced right through her kunai and sliced along her hand. Jumping back he smirked
"Today you will die whore!" Daito yelled as he swung his sword. With the swing of his sword all the water in front of him rose off the ground and flew at Hinata, in the shape of a giant curved blade paper thick.
With Naruto:
Daiki was getting irritated by this blond brat. Whenever he would get close to where he thought he was a sudden gust of wind would blow him away, and if he stopped for even a second the ground underneath him would charge with lightning, and he would have only half a second to get out of the field before everything inside was cooked by the lightning. His clothes hung on him in tatters, the wind slicing right through them and the near misses with lightning scorching them. 'if it wasn't for my hard skin thanks to him I would be either dead or bleeding to death from those wind blades he's using to deflect me.' seeing as he was making no progress so far and knowing that Zabuza wanted this brat dead now, Daiki decided it was time. the mist in a ten meter circle around Daiki was blown away as the air started to spin around him. The loose rocks and debris on the ground started rising, as a tower of malicious chakra started to leak from his skin.
Naruto shivered, and then swore. "Damn, that feels, that feels just like... is he...?" Realizing that his long distance seal arrays wouldn't help him right now Naruto stood up and summoned ten Kage bunshin. "Ok guys you know what to do" with that command the ten Kage bunshin disappeared into the mist.
Just as the last one phased from sight Daiki appeared next to Naruto in a blur. He was surrounded by a greenish blue chakra cloak with one waving tail behind him. Growling Daiki swung his hand and all the water surrounded Naruto shot into the air and spun like an inverted buzz saw before striking, completly engulfing where Naruto was standing. As the water saw dropped to the ground there was no body. Just water. Disappearing in a blur Daiki appeared in front of Naruto's new hiding place.
'This won't go well' thought Naruto before dodging to the side as more water tried to slice him to ribbons.
With Kakashi:
Zabuza smirked "I hope you weren't too attached to those brats, cus with the three they are facing their dead."
Returning the smirk Kakashi countered "I don't know, Hinata is the Heiress of the Hyuga clan, Sasuke the sole surviving Uchiha and Naruto, well he's very special"
Zabuza's smirk not waving a bit replied "Ah, but Haku is stronger then me, her Kekkai Genkai is deadly, Daito, the also last survivor of his clan, with a Kekkai Genkai just as strong as Haku's, then there's Daiki…He's the mists very own Jinchuriki.
Hearing this Kakashi froze 'damn, Naruto's up against another Jinchuriki, this wont end well' to compound the problem at that very second they felt waves of malicious chakra wash over the bridge
Smirking Zabuza said "well, that orange brats dead now" just as he said that Naruto appeared in front of them panted, and disappeared again as a buzz saw made of water sliced through where he was standing.
Smirking again kakashi said "Doesn't seem dead to me" forgetting that he was using the mist to silently kill kakashi in his anger over that orange brat surviving his Jinchuriki Zabuza charged in and made a strong vertical slash with his sword. Slicing a through Kakashi's flak jacket and a good inch into his chest as kakashi tried to jump away, Zabuza ripped the Zanbato back before remembering his plan and fading back to the mist.
With Naruto
Panting Naruto thought 'damn I'm getting tired from running so much, I need to trap him. That's it.' Thought Naruto as the memories from the Kage bunshin that he had forgotten about reached him. 'It's ready'
As the buzz saw came for him again Naruto slowly retreated towards the centre of the bridge. The buzz saw came flying at him, flipping through hand seals Naruto called "Katon: Ryuu no kaen" as a small blue fireball shot from his mouth. The difference between normal fire and dragons fire is that dragon's fire is many times hotter, so hot that the light emitted is blue shifted. This technique is highly uncommon however as very rarely is fire this hot needed, along with the ten times higher chakra drain then normal flame and can at best get to one quarter the size before exploding. But right now, against this water buzz saw, the blue flame worked perfectly. The second they collided they both went up in a cloud of steam.
Just then an enraged Daiki came out of the mist, one tail waving violently behind him with a second starting to form. Diving animalisticlly at Naruto, Naruto quickly dodged out the way. The second Daiki hit the ground Naruto activated the sea. The seal he was in the middle of. It was a combination of a eight point containment seal, a 5 point suppression seal and a lethal level shock seal. The second it activated a blue chakra barrier surrounded Daiki, in his rage his tried banging against it, burning himself as he tried. Just then the suppression seal kicked in and the nearly three quarters formed second tail faded away as the youkai started fading. Finally the shock seal activated sending a lethal does of lightning chakra through Daiki's body.
Naruto looked at the boy he had just killed, and dropped to his knees. He had just killed someone just like him, but it was clear what ever humanity he had was eaten away by the monster inside. There was no hope of saving him, especially as the seal appeared ready to break.
Unbeknownst to Naruto Daiki was a very spiteful person. As he was dieing he entered the seal. Going up to the door that always held back the Sanbi he inserted the key he had always carried and opened the door. Releasing the seal. And the Sanbi.
Just as Naruto stood up to go aid his friends the malicious chakra of the Sanbi washed over the bridge. Turning around slowly Naruto saw a light rising from Daiki's body. The light slowly grew. And grew. And grew, until it formed the shape of a gigantic three tailed turtle. Staring right at the person who nearly fated it to death the Sanbi let out a primal roar as it swung all three of its tails down in attempt to squash Naruto.
The Bridge:
The entire bridge was in chaos, everyone stopped fighting when they felt the presence of the Sanbi. The presence of the great turtle blowing away the mist to reveal the entire bridge. Sasuke standing still inside Haku's ice mirrors, covered in senbon with red Sharingan eyes but alive. Hinata with deep cuts leaking blood all over hear body while Daito was standing a few meters away where he had been laughing at the weak girls pathetic attempts to protect herself with something called 'Kaiten' which had just made his water blades stronger. Kakashi standing with blood dripping out the front of his chest from Zabuza's sword wound, and Naruto, about to be squashed by the tails of a gigantic demon turtle.
Today was really not a good day for team seven
AN:
Sorry for the late chapter and short (3.5k) but I'v been busy this week so I havn't had a chance to work on it, with a bunch of assignment due days. As for the shortness, well I felt now was the perfect place to cut off.
