Last time
A few moments later Sakura desired to ask her sensei a question.
"Kakashi sensei what did Naruto mean that we don't know anything about what Konoha is truly like" said Sakura.
"You may have notice it back in the village how the villager's treated Naruto" said Kakashi.
"What do you mean Kakahsi" Tazuna ask curiosity.
"It's not my place to say but what I can tell you is that it's the reason why Naruto isn't the most friendliest guy in the world" said Kakashi.
The Current time
At Tazuna's house
Almost everyone was in Tazuno's living room except for Indri who was in his bedroom and Naruto who hasn't come back last night Kakahsi wasn't worry about Naruto he knew Naruto could handle himself easily against thug's and bandits and if Naruto was fighting against a shinobi Kakahsi would have sense it.
"Tazuna I think today Zabuza will be coming" said Kakashi.
"Yeah I think your right" said Tazuna.
"But Kakahsi sensei Naruto hasn't come back last night" said Sakura.
"Yeah your right Sasuke could you find Naruto" said Kakashi.
"Why me" said Sasuke.
"I need stay here to guard Tazuna and you'll be able to find him a lot quicker than Sakura would" said Kakashi.
"Fine I will" said Sasuke as he got up and walk out though the door.
With Naruto in the forest
Naruto was currently laying on the ground resting in the middle of the forest after doing his intense training last night however he wasn't alone as the boy who was with Zabuza at Gato's base Haku he with long loosely black hair, pale skin, dark brown eye's and he was wearing a pink, sleeveless kimono with pale red edges and decorated with small plum-colored swirls, that went to his ankle, around his waist was a simple white obi tied in a bow and he had a pair of light brown sandals with black straps and had a dark-coloured choker around their neck.
Haku was walk through the forest collecting herb's to increase Zabuza's healing process until he came upon a sleeping Naruto and he immediately recognize his as one of the genin that is guarding Zabuza and his target.
"He's the one who gave Zabuza-san trouble it's best if I take him out here and now" thought Haku as he walk towards Naruto.
As Haku stood over the sleeping Naruto he was thinking about which way he should kill him without it being painful.
"You know it's creepy to stair at someone whiles they were sleeping you know" said Naruto surprising Haku.
"Um sorry I thought that you might have been injure" said Haku.
"No I'm not but thank you for caring a little about me anyways who are you" said Naruto.
"My name is Haku and you" said Haku.
"Naruto of the Uzumaki clan" said Naruto.
"If I may ask if are you out here" Haku ask.
"Training" said Naruto.
"Training ain't you strong enough" said Haku.
"No I'm not because this shinobi world you need strength to survive in here well that's what I believe anyways" said Naruto.
"I see well I believe that once you find someone that is precious you will become far stronger in order to protect them" said Haku.
"That's a nice way of thinking" said Naruto.
"Tell me Naruto do you have someone precious to you where you come from" Haku ask.
"In a way but he's always with me" said Naruto.
"Aww ain't that sweet " Kurama said whiles laughing within Naruto's head.
"Shut up Kurama" Naruto thought/said whiles being a little embarrass.
"I see then it's good you have someone" said Haku.
"I'm guessing that you have someone who's precious to you then" said Naruto.
"Yes I do and I will do anything to help him to active his goal" said Haku.
"Well that person is very lucky to have you" said Naruto.
"Thank you anyways I need to be going to take these herb's back" said Haku.
As Haku Started to walk away from Naruto he took a couple steps before to say one last thing.
"You will become stronger I'm sure of it" said Haku.
"Thanks maybe next time I'll show you how stronger I become when we meet on the bridge Hunter-nin" said Naruto shocking Haku.
"He knew that it was me since when" thought Haku.
"When did you realize it was me" Haku ask.
"The moment I saw you I could tell it was you because of your chakra signature" said Naruto.
"He can fine a individual person by their own chakra signature so he's a powerful sensory type as well he's going to be trouble fighting against with Zabuza-san hidden mist justu" thought Haku.
"So why didn't you just surprise attack me then" said Haku.
"I could ask why didn't you attack me when you have the chance" said Naruto lied when in truth he woke up because he sensed Haku a bit before he reach him.
"In any case I wasn't lied about needed to leave so see you on the bridge" said Haku as restarted to walk away.
Just then Sasuke was walking towards Naruto and he walk pass Haku and gave him a quick glance.
"She's cute" thought Sasuke not knowing that Haku was actually a guy.
"Naruto where have you been Kakahsi sensei is wondering" said Sakura.
"Here training" said Naruto.
"Training in what exactly" Sasuke ask curiously.
"Stuff" said Naruto.
"It's not destructive as there isn't any damage a round so what kind of training is it" Sasuke thought.
"Well anyways better not keep Kakashi sensei waiting to long" said Naruto as he got up and headed back to Tazuna's.
"Oh by the way Sasuke that person just then in pink kimono was a guy" said Naruto shocking Sasuke.
A bit later
Once Naruto and Sasuke got back at Tazuna's house Naruto went to bed unknown to him once he did Kakashi, Sakura, Sasuke and Tazuna headed towards the bridge but once they got there they saw something shocking.
"W-what happen here" said Tazuna shock .
"No doubt by it's Zabuza" kakashi inform everyone.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting Kakashi however I see that those brat's of yours are still trembling in fear how pitiful" Zabuza's voice came somewhere within the mist.
"I'm trembling in excitement" said Sasuke bravely.
"Oh your different from last time" Zabuza said within the mist.
Just then Zabuza and Haku appeared on the bridge (Zabuza here isn't wearing the black sleeveless shirt and matching pants, complete with a waist-guard, striped wrist and leg-warmer's and the bandages around his face were loosely like a scarf instead he's wearing the same outfit and there's a reason why)
"Haku you'll fight that black hair kid" said Zabuza.
"Yes Zabuza-san" said Haku.
"Sakura you stay close to Tazuna and guard whiles Sasuke and I handle Zabuza and his partner" said Kakashi.
Just then four Zabuza's appeared surrounding Kakahsi, Sasuke, Sakura and Tazuna however as the clone's were about to attack Sasuek using his kunai to cut of them up all of them turning them back into puddles of water.
"I can see it" thought Sasuke.
"Oh so you can see that they were water clone's the genin has improved it look's like you got yourself a rival Haku" said Zabuza.
"So it would seem" said Haku.
"I have been looking forward to this fight" said Sasuke.
"Then let's see how much you have improve then Haku you know what to do" said Zabuza.
"Yes Zabuza-san" said Haku before he started to spin around so fast making it almost impossible to see him at all however just as he was close to Sasuke and was about to cut him with his kunai Sasuke manage to block it with own.
"You manage to block my attack not many people can do that because of my speed impressive" said Haku.
"You shouldn't expect anything less from a elite Uchiha like me" said Sasuke.
"However I had key advance over you" said Haku.
"Oh yeah Like what" Sasuke ask wanting to know what kind of key advices this guy has over him.
"First we are surrounded by water and second you only have one arm left to defend yourself from my next attack" said Haku.
"So what I will just counter it with ease" said Sasuke.
"I hightly doubt you can counter something like this with ease" said Haku as he started to do hand signs with only just one hand.
"What! he can perform ninjutsu with just one hand" Sasuke thought in shock.
"I never heard of a ninja that can perform ninjutsu with only one hand" said Kakashi.
"Haku is a prodigy like no other Kakashi" said Zabuza.
"Secret jutsu: thousand flying water needles of death" said Haku as he gathered water from what use to be Zabuza's water clone's and from the misty air and created many needles which surrounded him and Sasuke and then Haku use his control over them to fire them only at Sasuke.
"SASUKE-KUN!" Sakura shouted in worry.
"Remember Kakashi's training I got to focus my chakra and summon it at once on my feet like with the tree's" thought Sasuke as he use his chakra to enhance his jumping speed for a brief moment to avoid Haku's needles.
"He vanish" said Haku but he look up in the air and saw Sasuke who was just about to throw a couple shuriken at Haku however as he did Haku manage to dodge each of them however Sasuke appeared behind him.
"Your not as fast as you think you are from this moment forward you'll be the one trying to avoid my attack's" said Sasuke.
As Sasuke's and Haku's weapon's clash again Sasuke had another kunai which he throw at Haku's head however Haku manage to duck it but Sasuke then kick Haku in the face and send flying towards Zabuza.
"Tha's not possible nobody's faster than Haku" Zabuza thought in shock.
"You thought you were faster then me as if let's see what else I'm better than you are at" Sasuke said proudly.
"You made a big mistake underestimate these genin you brought out Sasuke determination to prove you wrong he's one of the most skill young fighter back at the hidden leaf and Sakura here is one of the most brightest in her class and last but not least is Naruto Uzumaki is this year Rockie of the year back at the academy in Konoha and you have already seen that he always has a trick under his sleeves" said Kakashi.
"Ha-ha Haku if we keep going like this we will be the ones in trouble so stop messing around and finish it already" said Zabuza.
"Right" said Haku as he started to release his chakra into the air.
"What is he planning" thought Sasuke.
"I am sorry it has come to this" said Haku as he starting doing hand signs.
"The air is getting colder" said Sasuke.
"Secret jutsu: crystal ice mirror" said Haku
Suddenly ice started form behind Sasuke and then more started to form around him making twelve ice mirrors hovering above the ground then eight more form hovering above the first twelve and finally one ice mirror formed facing downwards.
"What jutsu is that how does it work" Kakashi said out loud.
Haku then walk next one of the ice mirror and he walk inside of it and then his reflection appeared in all the mirrors.
"What kind of technique is this" thought Sasuke.
"I have to help him" Kakashi thought as ran towards Sasuke but he was stop by Zabuza.
"If you want to enter this fight you'll have fight me first but your boy got no change against that jutus he's finish" said Zabuza.
"Now then I will show you what speed truly is" said Haku as he ready his senbon's.
Around the same time at Tazuna's house
When Naruto finally woke up he sensed that his team and Tazuna were at the bridge fighting against Zabuza and Haku so he got chance and ran towards the bridge to help with the fight however a bit after he left one of Tazuna's wooden wall was cut down into pieces and walk in was Gato's two samurai bodyguard's.
"What do you want" Tsunami ask afraid her and her son's life.
"Our boss Gato want's you so come with us now willingly and you won't be harm" said the samurai who was wearing a blue jacket.
"Mom" said Inari crying.
"Should we take the brat as well" said the samurai with the eye patch.
"No the boss only wants the bridge builder daughter so just leave the brat here" said the samurai who was wearing a blue jacket.
"No you wouldn't" said Inari.
"Stay out of the way brat or else" said the samurai with the eye patch as he kick Inari to the floor.
"No please don't hurt him I will do anything you want just don't hurt my son" Tsunami pleased.
"It looks like your mother save you brat you better be grateful" said the samurai who was wearing a blue jacket.
"Come on let's go" said the samurai with the eye patch as he tie a rope around Tsunami's arm's and pulled the rope to her take her to Gato.
As the samurai's took Tsunami away leaving Indri alone and crying.
"Why am I so weak I can't protect my mom" thought Indri then he started to think about the people who are risking their lives for his home and then Indri remember his stepfather's saying "If something is truly important you even if it's heartbreaking, even if it's sorrowful you keep on trying and trying, even if you lose your life, you keep on protecting it with these two arm's then even if you do die you leave behind the proof that you are a man forever" Indri then whip away his tears.
"Protect what is precious to you with both arm's" Indri said outloud before he ran outside and caught up the two samurai's and his mother.
"MOM!" Indri shouted.
"Indri what are you doing" said Tsunami worry for her son.
"Yeah what are you thinking of doing brat do you want to die or something" said the samurai who was wearing a blue jacket.
"I won't let you take someone else who is important from me ever again" said Indri.
"INDRI YOU CAN'T WIN AGAINST THEM JUST RAN AWAY!" Tsunami shouted whiles crying hoping that Indri would listen to her.
"I was going let you life brat but now I'm going to end you" said the samurai with the eye patch.
"Don't take to long the boss wants us back with the women as soon as possible" said samurai who was wearing a blue jacket.
"PLEASE DON'T HURT HIM!" Tsunami pleaded the samurai's.
"To late lady I made up my mind so say your last good bye to your beat" said the samurai with eye patch as he drew his blade and change at Indri.
"NO INDRI!" Tsunami shouted with her eye's close not wanting to see her child be murdered in front of her.
However as the samurai swing his sword downword's he didn't kill Indri or even harm him instead he had cut a wooden log in half.
"What the" the samurai with eye patch said in shock.
"Where's the brat he was there a second ago" the samurai who was wearing a blue jacket said shock but then realized something was off he then he look down at the rope and saw that it was cut and Tsunami was gone.
"Where's she gone" said the samurai who was wearing a blue jacket.
"What I hate most about people like you in this world is that you think you can do whatever you want to anyone and get away with it" said a voice which sounded piss as both samurai's turn around they saw someone who was on their knee's and had Tsunami in arm and Indri in the other.
"Who the hell is that" said the samurai with eye patch.
"Naruto" Indri said happy.
"Who the hell are you kid" said the samurai who had a eye patch.
As Naruto got up he turn around and started to walk towards the two samurai's and he drew his blade.
"Someone who had enough of scum like you" said Naruto before he disappear in a burst of speed.
Suddenly both samurai's were in the air and had cut's all over their bodies and their blade's were shattered.
"What just happened!" Both samurai's thought before they pass out from the pain.
"Wow" Indri thought as he watch what had just happen right in front of him one moment both samurai's were fine and the next they were in the air and had cut's all them.
Naruto put his sword back into the seal as well as took and seal the samurai's sword's then he turn around and walk back to Tsunami and Indri just as the samurai's fell and clash on the ground.
"I'm sorry I wasn't here when they came" Naruto apologized bowing his head.
"It's okay at least you came before they did anything worse to us" said Tsunami.
"It well be safer if you two go somewhere that Gato's men wouldn't find you" said Naruto.
"But where are you going Naruto" Indri ask.
"To help my teammates and sensei out" said Naruto.
Naruto then walk over to Indri handed over one of his flying thunder God kunai to him before he disappear in a golden flash to where he was before on the bridge and leaving a shock Indri and Tsunami behind.
"What the! how did he do that" said Indri.
With Naruto
Naruto teleported half way to the bridge instead cause he needed to do one thing before going to the bridge and he did a couple hand signs and said "Enhance shadow clone jutsu" and in a proof of smoke another Naruto appeared.
"You know what to do" said the real Naruto.
The clone just nodded and pull out a scroll and then in another proof of smoke the clone had the white kistune mask and robe in it's hands.
The real Naruto then use the flying thunder jutsu to teleport straight to the bridge whiles the clone change into Naruto's Menma identity and went to fulfil Naruto's plan.
Back at the bridge
Haku started to throw many senbon's at Sasuke cutting him all over his body as well as being impaled into him causing Sasuke yell out in pain then Haku skillful throw a senbon a Sasuke's hand causing him to threw his kunai away which landed here by Sakura and Tazuna.
"Sasuke" said Kakashi worry for his student's life.
"SASUKE-KUN" Sakura shouted in worry for Sasuke's life.
"Just try and help him and I will kill the old man and the girl in a heartbeat" said Zabuza.
Just as Haku prepared to throw more senbon's Sasuke secretary did a couple of hand sign's and just before Haku start his attack again Sasuke unleash his jutsu.
"Fire style: fire ball jutsu" said Sasuke as he unleashed his fire ball at one of mirror hoping to melt it however as the smoke cleared it revealed it didn't do anything to the mirror at all.
"You can't melt these mirror's with your flame's" said Haku just before he start throwing his senbon's at Sasuke.
As Haku thrown his senbon's at Sasuke something surprising happen Sasuke manage to block each of them with his kunai.
"How did he manage to do that" Haku thought but then he saw that Sasuke's eye's has change from black into a blood red color with one tomoes in each of them.
"I finally awaken my clan's Legendary bloodline the Sharingan" Sasuke said proudly.
"My first step towards achieving my revenge against him" thought Sasuke.
"It doesn't matter if you have unlock your clan's bloodline you still wouldn't win this" said Haku before he began to throw his senbon's.
This time was slightly different because now Sasuke was able to see where they were coming from and so he was able to both dodge and block some of them however even though Sasuke was able to see the senbon's his body wasn't fast enough to block or dodge all them.
"Damnit this shouldn't be happening I have the Sharingan now he shouldn't stand a chance against me" thought Sasuke.
"Bloodlines doesn't make you stronger they just give you advices over your opponent unless your opponent have the same bloodline as you then it comes down to who has mastered it better than who" said Haku.
"Aaarrrrr" Sasuke yell out in pain as Haku's senbon's cutting him all over his body.
"I'm sorry I can't stay with you forgive" said Sakura.
"I understand go now" said Tazuna.
Sakura grab Sasuke's kunai and ran towards his and Haku's battle.
"Sakura" said Kakashi worry for his other student.
Sakura jump into the air and threw Sasuke's kunai back to him however as kunai was close enough Haku's attacks on Sasuke stop because his upper body came out the mirror and caught the kunai.
"Oh no he caught it" Sakura said panicking that he was going to kill Sasuke with his own because of her.
"Nice try" said Haku.
But just then out of nowhere a shuriken came out and hit Haku's mask and which cause Haku fall out the mirror.
"Where did that shuriken came from" said Haku as he look around.
"Who threw that" Sakura ask outloud.
"Someone else is here" thought Zabuza.
As everyone was wondering where did the shuriken came from two unique kunai were thrown at them one at Sakura and the other Sasuke however as Kakashi look at the one by Sakura he recognized the type of kunia.
"That is the same type of kunai that Minato sensei use for the flying thunder jutsu" Kakashi thought in shock.
Suddenly in a quick flash of gold Naruto appeared standing over Sasuke and when he grab Sasuke by his collar they both disappeared in another quick flash of gold and then reappeared next to Sakura.
"What the! SASUKE-KUN" Sakura said before she quikey ran to Sasuke and hold him.
"That was flying thunder jutsu but the color of the flash is a bit different however there's no mistake about it but how's that possible nobody other than Minato sensei knews how to perform it so how does Naruto know" Kakashi thought in Shock.
"What just happen one moment I was surrounded by that guy's ice mirrors but now I'm here next to everyone else what did the dope do just now" thought Sasuke wondering what other skill does Naruto possess.
"Sorry I'm late" said Naruto as turn around to look at Zabuza and Haku.
"I was wondering where you were brat" said Zabuza.
"Well I'm here now" said Naruto.
