The rise of NightFox

Chapter 10: The hood reappears, The sea monster reveales himself.

Land of Waves

After the battle with Zabuza, Squad 7 and Tazuna carried Kakashi to the bridge builders home where he could rest. While Kakashi was sleeping Naruto saw Sasuke too preoccupied with Sakura's constant fawning, earlier Naruto tried to ask them about doing more, like disrupt Gato's business affairs anything to help the people out. But sadly both of them disagreed, Sakura didn't want to start trouble and thought that just helping Tazuna was enough and that they shouldn't get sidetracked, Sasuke said this wasn't part of their mission and that they should stay on their main objective. Deep down Naruto was thinking that Sakura was too intimidated by Gato's forces and the sea monster to act, and Sasuke was too neutral to the whole situation unless it benefits him somehow, either way they both believe that once the bridge is finished the Land of Waves will be free, and there was no reason to draw attention to themselves.

("They really don't know how crime bosses work. Do they? So long as Gato is out there the Land of Waves will never be free, the bridge will be more effective to helping the land recover from Gato's tyranny not during it.") Naruto then thought back to the scroll that carried his black coat. ("I wasn't sure whether or not I should put the hood on but after everything I've seen I can't stand by and let this continue on. But first I have to confirm something with Kakashi sensei.")

About an hour later Kakashi started waking up looking at the ceiling before turning to see a beautiful woman with blue hair. "Oh you're awake now?" She asked.

"Nnmm, yeah." Kakashi tried to set up only to fall back in bed. "Ugh, I used too much chakra with my Sharingan."

"So why use it, if it puts such a strain on you?" Kakashi heard Sakura ask as his squad and Tazuna entered the room.

"Well you know what they say... desperate times calls, for Desperate Measures, and Zabuza wasn't someone I could afford to hold back against." Kakashi answered.

"On the brightside you did take down one of the most powerful ninja Assassins, so we should be safe for a while." Tazuna commented.

"Yeah but what about that boy in The Mask?" Sakura asked curious.

Kakashi wondered about that for a moment. "How long has it been since we saw the tracker, and Zabuza?"

"About three hours... why? Sasuke asked.

"I feel like there's something I'm missing." Kakashi said finding the strength to set up.

"Aren't you over thinking this a little?" Tazuna asked.

"You think that tracker Ninja was a fraud, and Zabuza is still alive. Don't you sensei?" Naruto said out of the blue surprising everyone.

Before anyone can disagree with him Kakashi said. "Yes Zabuza is still alive."

"WHAT?" Tazuna and Sakura shouted.

"But Kakashi sensei you checked him yourself, you said that his heart stopped!" Sakura said remembering Kakashi checking for a pulse.

"His heart did stop. But that tracker Ninja, he used senbons,and those aren't usually meant to kill unless they hit a vital spot."

"Not just that. But the whole situation was too convenient." Naruto started getting everyone's attention. "I mean think about it. Exhibit A: opportunity. Why attack Zabuza at that precise moment? Why not kill him while he was holding Kakashi in a water prison? Exhibit B: weapons. He use acupuncture needles, tools that can be used to simulate a deathlike state without actually killing. And finally Exhibit C: disposal. You said yourself Sakura, tracker ninjas are supposed to dispose of the body right away, yet he took the body, it would have made more sense to destroy the corpse and take the sword but he took both." Naruto finished.

"Maybe he likes to do disposal in private or he need proof of his success." Sakura suggested not liking the thought of the Mist assassin still around.

"I doubt that, and his headband and sword would have been proof enough. Given all that its plain to see that he was saving Zabuza." Kakashi said causing everyone to feel on edge.

"If he's good enough to do that, him and Zabuza make a deadly team." Sasuke feared.

"Which means I need to train you all to get as ready as possible." Their sensei said.

"But how are you going to do that Kakashi sensei?" Sakura began. "You can barely move."

"It's simple really..." Kakashi began as a small boy walked in and interrupted.

"Why bother? You'll just die." The boy spat.

"Oh Inari." Tazuna said as his grandson welcomes him back.

"Inari! That was rude." Tsunami said at her son's rudeness.

"But mom they're just wasting their time, there's nothing they can do!" Inari shouted.

Naruto looked at the kid and replied. "Now kid this is between us leaf ninja, so let us worry about that. Besides I was interested in what our sensei had to say."

"Who cares you'll die before you even have a chance to use the training! You should all just go home!" Inari shouted before running off crying.

"That kid has problems." Sasuke said quietly.

("No... I think he's hurting inside.") Naruto looked at Tazuna and Tsunami with sad expressions on their faces.

Moments later they we're outside in the forest and Kakashi was on crutches.

"Are you sure you should be up and about sensei?" Ask a worry Sakura.

"I'll be fine, now I'm going to teach you how to control the most important thing a ninja has... their chakra."

"What do you mean? We already learned this at the Academy on how to use chakra." Sasuke said not seeing the point of this.

"You know how to use chakra, but that doesn't mean you can control it. Now watch." Kakashi walked up to a tree and closed is visible eye. Dirt swirled around his feet as he put one foot on the tree and began to effortlessly walk up the tree. "Tree climbing is a basic chakra control exercise that involves climbing a tree without using your hands. Mastering this exercise can help you master any Jutsu in theory but also teaches you how to not waste chakra when using a Jutsu." Kakashi said hanging upside down from a tree branch.

"Whoa." Sakura gasped.

"Now... you try." Kakashi threw kunais down in front of them. "Use those to mark the tree at your highest point, try to beat it the next time until you reach the top." He instructed.

They picked up a kunai and looked at a tree of their own and focused their chakra to the soles of their feet and ran up the trees. Kakashi looked on impressed as they continued. "Well looks like they got it so far." he chuckled.

"Hey down there." Sakura called sitting on a branch above.

"Well down Sakura." Kakashi said looking up.

"Ehh hem. I'm up here to." Naruto said hanging upside down from his own tree branch.

"Well done also, Naruto. (Master Jiraiya must have already taught to him this exercise.)" Kakashi said.

"Na-Naruto, when did you?" Sakura looked shocked seeing Naruto at the top and Sasuke back on the ground. ("Naruto out did Sasuke!" 'It must be a cold day in hall!')

"Same way you did. (Thank Ryu, for teaching me this exercise during my first week.) Howe's it look from down there Sasuke?" Naruto teased a bit, his first night of training with Ryu was learning chakra control through tree-climbing, he had a hard time the first night but finish the 2nd night. After that they went on to other things.

"That can't be, you had to of cheated!" Sasuke called from below, Sakura he understood but Naruto? How could the unpopular dope have better chakra control then him?

Naruto smirked. "Is that your best excuse? Cuz you're not convincing me otherwise."

Sasuke frowned at Naruto's remark but Kakashi spoke up. "Well, seeing as how Sakura and Naruto have completed this step, I should be able to teach you both 1 technique each while we're out here, Sasuke stay here and continue this exercise until you reach the top. Okay you two follow me."

"Hai!" They both called as they got down and followed him leaving Sasuke alone angry that he has to continue this exercise, while they learn a new technique. ("Dammit! I'm from the Uchiha Clan, I can't afford to lose out to people that are weaker than me!")

In another part of the forest Kakashi gave Naruto and Sakura their instructions. "Okay Sakura, I'm going to teach you the chakra concentration technique. And Naruto I'm going to teach you the basics of water style Jutsu."

"Chakra concentration? What exactly is that?" The pink haired Ninja said confused.

"It's a technique that some Ninja use to enhance their punches and kicks, but it's only temporary. With your superb chakra control you should be able to master it in no time." Kakashi gave her an eye smile. ("Sakura is smart but her skill-set is too basic, this technique won't close the gap between her and the masked boy but it should at least give her the upper hand against Gato's hired thugs.")

"Kakashi sensei, you said you're teaching me the basics of water style Jutsu?" Naruto said grabbing Kakashi's attention.

"Well you do show signs of learning it and having someone that can use water style other than myself could be useful if we go up against Zabuza again." Kakashi explained. "Now Sakura. Sit over there and meditate, concentrate on flowing chakra through your hands and feet and try to keep them like that for as long as possible. And Naruto head towards that pond, try to levitate a spear of water from it without it bursting, and remember water style is about flowing your chakra through water in order to manipulate it so it will take time to get down." Kakashi finished instructing as the two genin went to do their training unaware that Inari was watching from afar observing them.

Nightfall

After all the training was done for the day Squad 7 went back to Tazuna's where they sat around the dinner table but Naruto headed upstairs instead. "Naruto, Why you heading up stairs? We're about to eat." Sakura asked.

"I'm just going to use the bathroom I'll be right down." He replied heading up.

"So Sasuke how far have you gotten in the chakra exercise?" Kakashi asked interested.

"I managed halfway, but tomorrow I'll make it to the top and my first try." Sasuke replied confidently. "What about the dope, how he do in his training?

"Well he hasn't gotten that far with it, the best he's done was make the water ripple." Sakura answered seeing his training from her meditation spot. "But I'm sure you would have gotten it down in no time at all. Right Sasuke?" She said trying to encourage her crush.

"How very supportive Sakura I'm sure that healed his damaged ego." Naruto said coming down.

Sasuke smirked. "Like you could damage anyone's ego, that was just beginner's luck and luck always runs out."

"Now you two." Kakashi broke them up before an argument could start.

Unknown to all of them the Naruto that came downstairs was a shadow clone while the real Naruto snuck out through the window wearing his black coat with his hood up and walked into town to do some recon. The Land of Waves looked pretty beat up, people were hiding in their homes while thugs patrolled the streets, Naruto didn't know where to start. "I should probably listen around, and hear what's going on." Naruto on top of the lamp post and began to listen for anything. 2 minutes past before he heard something about a meeting in one of the warehouses about a new product. "Look's like I found my first stop, I should probably go through my equipment first." Naruto went through his inventory, he had kunai's, shuriken, his bo staff and his escrima sticks. He also had explosive tags, smoke bombs and a new tool that Ryu gave him a Strongbow with a quiver full of arrows. Ryu taught Naruto archery after he finished the tree climbing exercise. ("I still remember when we started on this lesson, I don't think Sasuke or Kiba would have had the patience for this.")

Flashback, Temple ruins

"How much longer do I have to keep doing this?" Naruto said as he hit a bowl full of water with his palm as Ryu was sitting holding two bows. "Just a little longer." Ryu answered.

"What does this have to do with archery anyway?" Naruto asked.

"Most people begin archery by holding a bow and shooting until their accuracy is good, but it ends up taking longer then they expect." Ryu gets up and motions for Naruto to stop. "There's a story of a boy that went to a monastery to train with monks to learn kung fu but for 3 days all they had him do was hit a bowl full of water with his palm, after 3 days he went back home to his family and to his father in disgrace, when his father asked what have you learned the boy struck his palm on a table and it cut clean in half. The boy then returned to the monastery to his master's and then their real training began because now he had hands made for Kung Fu." Ryu tossed Naruto a bow. "Now draw."

When Naruto drew the bow he was surprised he felt no resistance no shaking, it was like his hands were natural at it. "Whoa... how?"

"And now you have hands made for archery, and now we just have to work on your accuracy." Ryu said motioning towards the Target that he laid out on the wall.

Flashback Ends

After the archery lesson Ryu showed him Aikido, Hapkido, and Taekwondo although he's not a master of them he at least knows the basics.

("I should leave my bo staff, if word gets out about this, the others won't suspect me.") Naruto seals away his Bo staff and began to follow the hired muscle to a warehouse, once sneaking in from the ceiling window he found 9 guys with muskets with two of them opening a crate. Inside the crate were small packs of seeds.

"What kind of seeds are these?" A guy said looking at the purple packs.

"There Sophiarea seeds, Gatos been shipping them off for the last 3 months using his secret transport boats to deliver them so the sea monster wouldn't destroy them." Another goon said.

"Since when has the boss been interested in plants, what's so special about them?"

"I don't know but they say ninja are afraid of them." He replied.

"Ha Ha, whoa wait! Your saying that these plants scared the crap out of ninjas! What's so scary about them?" He said laughing.

"Like I said I don't know, they do something funny to them and not the good kind of funny." His friend replied.

("I better clear the room first and then check out those seeds.") Naruto said and he snuck behind a guard and put him in a chokehold until you fell unconscious. He then shoots an arrow in between two guards that exploded do to the explosive tags wrapped around it. "3 down, 6 to go." He whispered to himself as he quickly hid away from site.

"What the hell was that!?" An armed goon said running to check out the noise, but what he found send chills down his spine. "Oh crap! Guys get over here now!?" He called out. The five remaining thugs ran to his location and saw the two unconscious gunman.

"What happened to these two?"

I don't know, some kind of explosion maybe."

"Let's just spread out and check our corners, we're not alone here." The six began to split up again, two of them went to the upper level while the other four stayed on ground level. Naruto use the wall run to stick to the walls of the upper level and from a sniping position fired an arrow in the leg of a goon, as he screamed the guy he was with came to check on him only to be met with a boot to the face as Naruto pounce kicked him and hid behind a few crates. "HE'S UP HERE!" The injured guard yelled getting the four remaining guards up there. Once he informed them that he was hiding behind the crate one of them went to shoot him only to find to smoke pellets that exploded concealing them in smoke.

Naruto went on the attack doing a hook kick on one guard pushing him off the ledge and then fired two arrows into another one killing him, as the smoke cleared Naruto grabbed the musket and use its knife part to stab one of the guards and then moved him in front of the last one before pulling the trigger killing both the impaled guard and the one behind him. Naruto look to see the guard he shot in the leg try to escape by limping. "Your not going anywhere pal!" Naruto said throwing the musket at the escaping thug hating him in his other leg causing him to scream in pain. Naruto then grabbed him by the collar and dragged him to the crate that held the purple seeds. ("He called them Sophiarea where have I heard that before?") Naruto wondered as he picked up one of the packets that had a picture of the purple flower, and in an instant he remembered. "Oh... crap."

Flashback, Twilight City, 2 years ago

A 10 year old Naruto was looking at a specific flower around the Animusphere estate when Brooke approached. "Is there's something the matter Naruto?" The Reptilian asked.

"I'm curious about this flower it seems very different."

"I would actually stay away from that one if I were you, it's harmless to anyone so long as they don't have chakra." Brooke warned, seeing the confused look on the blond kid's face Brooke decided to explain. "It's called Sophiarea, it's a rare plant that grows in certain places in Aselia. It's outlawed in the elemental Nations and for a very good reason."

"Why?"

"When used in elixirs or gases or in other things flowers are used for it gives off the effect of anti chakra. Anti chakra counteracts chakra in every aspect thus it renders a person that uses chakra completely unable to do so for who-knows-how-long depending on how they're exposed to it." Brooke finished causing Naruto to scoot away from it a bit.

Flashback Ends

"Why would Gato have these, scratch that how he get his hands on them? They don't even grow in the elemental Nations." Naruto's eyes then widen. ("These hired thugs said he's been shipping them out for 3 months! There could be thousands of these flowers growing all over the nation by now.") Naruto then pushed the guard against a large crate to interrogate him.

"Where are these crates heading!?" Naruto yelled.

"I DON'T KNOW! I swear I don't know!" The guard said not wanting to get even more injured than he already is.

"Then who does? Someone has to be managing those shipments."

"There's a supervisor at the docks, he's said to be working for a private customer, he's the one that's been ordering for these shipments to be made! And in exchange he gives us a new product!"

"Which docks!? And what new product!?" The hooded ninja demanded.

"The south docks, and I don't know what the product is but the deal is happening right now!" The Goon confessed and received a knockout punch as his reward.

"I need to leave these seeds here and tip off Kakashi about them, I should take some with me best to study them while I have the chance." Naruto took 3 packets of seeds and left for the docks.

South docks

It took 10 minutes to reach the docks and he can already hear some commotion. Quickly jumping on a roof he observed the transaction, and he saw what the boatsman described as the sea monster. He was on a Brig ship knocking out another one of Gato's thugs before turning to the illegal contraband and began throwing it overboard, a few seconds later three more thugs appeared to attack him. The sea creatures arms suddenly glowed showing eel shaped tattoos and he went for a punch that shocked the first goon and pushed him towards the second one shocking him as well, the last man came in Swinging with a long Pike but the creature Dodge them until he grabbed it and broke it effortlessly before stabbing it in the last goon's shoulder before grabbing him by the neck.

"How many times do we have to do this before Gate gets the message? He's done in this town, and no amount of security will stop me." The masked sea creature said.

"Your just lucky Zabuza wasn't here or you would be a deathfish by now, once he's back on his feet you'll get yours." The beaten up Smuggler choked out.

"Once the bridges finish all I have to do is sink the last of Gato's illegal contraband and he'll be ruined. You should just leave now and save yourself the trouble of being ran out of town." Was the sea creatures reply. Then out of nowhere a throwing knife hit his shoulder, quickly turn around and took out the knife and saw his attacker.

He Wares a protective Tactical suit of body armor that was predominantly black, but also adds blue and red protective plates and composite fiberglass, which overlap the feet, shins, forearms, chest and shoulders. He also had two sheathes on his back, a holster for a gun and sheathes for daggers. And on his head was a strange unique metal helmet. "Just like where Gato said you would be, I was expecting a real monster not some short kid wearing a shark ski mask with goggles." The armor assailant said.

"Are you another one of Gato's hired help?"

"I'm Scimitar, and no I'm just here to oversee a deal and take out a fish if need be." The now named Scimitar announce taking out throwing knives and launched them at his attended Target.

The masked sea creature dodge them and went to engage Scimitar in close combat, they both seem to be at a stalemate until the Assassin began to overwhelm him when elbow to the gut before throwing them over his shoulders. "Your skilled in karate, which works well with your enhanced strength, it's no wonder you've been able to do so much damage to Gato's business. These dogs can't handle anyone with actual skill or some kind of power." He kneels down to his enemy to look him in the face. "But unfortunate for you I'm more skilled and experienced then you." Just as he said that he turned around and grabs an arrow aimed at him, and on the other end of the ship was Naruto drawing another bow. "They said nothing about you having a partner."

The shark mask boy looked at the hooded figure. "I don't, but I'll take the help." He got up and took something out of the weird looking backpack on his back. What was in his hands were machetes made of glowing water.

With two enemies at his back and front Scimitar unsheathed his two swords and quickly deflected an arrow before blocking a sword strike from his earlier foe. Soon the one in the hood came in using his escrima sticks. The three continue this fight with the Assassin still on the defensive but unfortunately neither of his opponents have landed a hit. "Okay kids play times over." He kicks Naruto away and then deliver a double slash to the Sea pushing him back before turning around to throw tree knives with explosives to Naruto who nearly avoided the explosions but was pushed back.

("This guy was just fooling around with us, if this fight continues will both be dead. I just need to grab one of those cases then I can leave hopefully I can convince this guy to retreat with me.") Naruto look towards one of the cases on the ship and went for one of his shurikens that he put smoke bombs in, all he had to do was wait for the right moment.

("Man Gato sure went out of his way to get rid of me, and worse mom's going to kill me when she sees how beat up I am. I need to end this now and sink the ship, I'll have to grab that guy in the hood to make sure he doesn't fall under too.") The proclaimed sea monster thought as he closed his eyes to focus. Soon the boat began to shake causing the assassin to lose his balance.

Seeing his chance Naruto threw the smoke shruikens at Scimitar who was too distracted to see them coming, after being engulfed in smoke Naruto went for one of the cases and ran straight for the edge of the boat and jumped off. And just in the nick of time cuz soon a small Title Wave came charging at the ship making it turn upside down as it hits the water nearly waking the neighborhood.

Unknown house

Naruto slowly began to open his eyes as he found himself on a couch. He saw his injuries have been treated and was out of his black coat and was in black shorts while his upper body was bandaged. "Oh thank goodness you're awake now, you had me and Percy worried." Naruto turn to see a beautiful woman who look to be in her early thirties with blue eyes and long brown hair, and wore a light blue shirt with white pants. "Try not to move too much you took quite a hit after my son's surf attack ended."

"Wait, your son?" Just then a 12 year old boy came in wearing a yellow shirt with blue Hawaiian shorts. He had jet black hair and bright sea green eyes and was about the same height as him.

"Your probably confused, my name is Sally Jackson, and this young man is my son Percy Jackson." Sally introduced herself and her son.

"Although lately I've been called the sea monster of waves." Percy(12) commented.

"Who would have thought that the creature that's been tormenting Gato was a 12 year old that lives with his mother, this is kind of funny you know." Naruto said finding this somewhat funny.

"Almost as funny as to discover that one of Tazuna's escort ninjas like to go out and make trouble too. Did you know that I almost didn't bring you here if it wasn't for that fact?" Percy countered. "But anyway thanks, I was in a real tough spot there until you showed up."

"Ever since I heard about you from Tazuna I kind of wanted to meet you. The old man manage to work on the bridge without worry thanks to you." Naruto said.

"The old guy needed all the help he could get, and after what that midget has done to this island I would have done it either way."

"By the way, how are you able to do all that stuff? That was not ninjutsu, it has to be some type of hydrokinesis or something."

"Well you probably won't believe me, but I'm a Half-Blood. And before you ask a Half-Blood is another word for demigod, my father is Poseidon." Percy said waiting to see how he would react to this.

To his surprise Naruto had complete amazement in his eyes. "That's so COOL! That must explain your enhance strength, endurance and agility, and also how you're able to breathe underwater and control it. It must be traits that you inherited from your father."

This shocked Percy, but it was a good kind of shock. "Ah, well my physiology isn't that different from an atlanteans, and as for my water constructs they're all thanks to my water bearers that are attached to my water pack, but thanks to my Atlantean sorcery training I've gotten better at using them even if I'm still pretty much a rookie."

Naruto couldn't help but gasp, Atlantean sorcery is the best source of water magic there is, true people can learn water magic but never to the extent of an Atlantean. "Well I'm not that much of a magic guy myself considering I only use wind magic and null magic."

"Really you're able to use magic too, what kind of spells can you do?" Percy asked now curious.

"Well I use wind Magic to enhance my wind style Jutsu and to guide my projectiles, then there's also item Construction, well item construction an umbrella term considering is using more than one null magic to simulate it. Anyway I can mold any object I want based on what material that I'm using, but it would take time based on what I'm trying to make it into." Naruto explained.

Percy had an interesting thought. "So if you wanted to I don't know improve let's say a damaged suit, you could probably make it better. Right?" Naruto nodded. "Then is it possible for you to repair and improve my costume cuz it got really messed up in that last fight."

"Sour it shouldn't be any trouble." Naruto replied.

As the two continue to talkin Sally couldn't help but smile, Percy has always had a hard time making friends even before they moved to the Land of Waves, and now he's having a genuine conversation with another kid his age. At first Percy snuck around to deal with Gato but she eventually found out, and wanted to ground her son for doing something so dangerous but Percy was persistent and wanting to help the bridge builder any way he could, so she allowed him on the condition that he only focused on destroying the illegal contraband and not getting into too many fights.

Naruto then remembered something important. "Where's my black coat and a case that I picked up?"

"It's drying outside in the backyard, and the case is right over there, I figured you wanted to open it when you woke up." Percy said walking over to grab the wooden case and put it on the couch with Naruto. "By the way those seeds I found in your pockets, what are they exactly?"

"Short answer. They have the potential to render any ninja powerless if used the right way. Gato has been shipping them off this island in secret, I was hoping to find out where he ship them off to, but it looks like I won't be finding out tonight." Naruto said a little disappointed.

"Now don't feel so down, maybe whatever is in the case may give you some kind of clue." Ms Jackson said to encourage.

"Only one way to find out... oh great caesar's ghost." Naruto said looking inside. What he found was a PGM Ultima Ratio Hecate ll, it was disassembled but in Prime condition. Percy and Sally walked over to take a look and were immediately shocked.

"Oh good God! What's that monstrosity doing on this island?" She said completely surprised, the closest things to guns that were allowed in the elemental Nations were Flintlocks and Muskets, but any weapon other than those were absolutely forbidden and would never make it pass a vale gate, so how on earth could a high-power sniper rifle make it this far.

"I know Gatos an arms dealer but I didn't know he would be dealing this kind of stuff." Said a shocked Percy. ("If I didn't sink that ship who knows where he could have sent that stuff?")

"It's his new product. His payment for selling those Sophiarea seeds, and he would have made an even bigger fortune out of these." Naruto stated.

"What does all this mean?" Percy asked.

Naruto thought about it for a moment, flowers that neutralize chakra, high-tech weapons that could cut down a group of ninja if given even the smallest opportunity, and a private customer that ordered all this Naruto could only come up with one conclusion. "Someone is preparing to go to war with ninjas and they're using gato to transport them. I need to know who and why."

Naruto try to get up but Sally pushed him back on the couch."Oh no you're not. You need to rest, after that that fight on the docks you need to take it easy for a bit."

"But mrs. Jackson, gato could still have more of those weapons at the docks. Someone needs to go and Destroy them before he starts dealing with people." Naruto protested.

"I agree with him mom, I'll go out there with him." Percy said only to have his mother grabbed his side and put a little pressure on it which caused Percy to which in pain as soon did the same to Naruto who had the same reaction.

"You boys just got out of a dangerous fight, and you both didn't come out of it unscathed. You both can do this later but for right now you both should take it easy." Sally said before turning to Naruto. "And you should probably stay the night you shouldn't be moving around."

"But my Shadow clone probably dissipated, my team will notice my disappearance if I don't head back to Tazuna's!" Naruto try to reason, the memories he got back from his clone everyone turned in for the night.

"You can leave early in the morning if that helps but until then. You. Stay. Put." She said making it final.

"Yes ma'am." Naruto said in defeat.

Gato's penthouse

"You were attacked by someone in a hood!?" The small Crime Boss said clearly upset.

The thug Naruto interrogated back at the warehouse with his legs bandaged up looked at his boss in fear. "It's true, he just came out of nowhere and start taking us out one by one and all he had was a bow and arrow! I'm telling ya he's the one that showed up at the docks."

"And pretell, how did he know to go to the South docks?" Gato asked.

This made the thug nervous. "He force me to tell him he shot an arrow in me and stab me with a musket please I had no choice!"

"I see." Gato motions for his men to kill the thug. "Double the guards or each hideout, we already have a sea monster we don't need some hooded freak causing trouble to and someone find scimitar I want to have a word with him." Then out of nowhere his phone went off and he quickly answered it. "Hello!"

"Did you send the product out yet?"

Gato suddenly felt extremely nervous and motions for his men to leave. "There were complications. The gun shipment was attacked and my men are scavenging what's left."

"We heard this excuse before. Do you enjoy disappointing us, Gato?

Gato got upset by their comment. "This is not my fault! Scimitar was supposed to destroy the sea monster and now I have an even bigger problem, the bridge builder is back and he has ninja guarding him and your assassin won't do anything about it! Explain that!?" Gato yelled.

"GATO! Don't forget who you're talking to! We gave you the location of waves so you could smuggle in you're illegal Goods and ours if need be, and in a location where you would have no ninja interference!"

"And yet for some reason there are ninja here now." The short Crime Boss countered.

"That's only because you like to front your transactions, your public abuse bought these ninjas in town and thus put everything at risk. If you had done this quietly like we instructed you to do this wouldn't be happening. And as for Scimitar his concerns are ours and we don't care if the bridge is completed or not it doesn't hinder anyone else but you."

"But what am I supposed to do, you need me remember? So you have to help me." Gato pleated.

"Your only one of the Smugglers that we're using, so make no mistake you are expendable. So get things under control or will have to rely on our other contacts, cuz right now they are proving to be more competent than you. Got it?"

"Yes." He answered before hanging up and throwing a fit by throwing his phone at the wall in raged.

From outside his office the boy with the mask was overhearing their conversation. Without his mask on he appears to have a feminine face despite his gender being male. ("So Gato is working for someone else. I should inform Zabuza.) He headed for a room that had Zabuza resting on a bed.

"What have you found Haku?" Zabuza asked.

"Gato was on the phone with someone and they weren't happy, it seems Gato is working for someone else." Haku(15) explained.

Zabuza actually chuckled hearing this. "So Gato is nothing more than just another pawn for someone else to use, and he has the balls to talk down to me. It's nice to know there's someone putting him in his place. If he wasn't paying us a lot of money, I say we ditch him."

"As much as I would like that, until this job is finished we need him alive. Once our contract is finished will be able to leave the elemental Nations and go to the outside Nations, the Mist has little contacts outside and they won't be able to find us once we cross over." Haku reminded him. "So for right now we can't kill him."

"Yeah yeah, I get it" Zabuza applied.

End

And here is chapter 10, and the sea monster was Percy Jackson the son of Poseidon. I can go into his backstory later, but more importantly I have just introduced anti chakra this chapter, check my profile if you want to know other forms of anti chakra or send me a private message if you want me to explain it to you or type it in the reviews. Stay tuned for chapter 11 as Naruto and Percy work together to solve waves problems. And remember to leave your decision for whether Zabuza and Haku should live or not if no one helps to decide then I'll have to improvise.
