Chapter 10: New Ninjas of Konoha
It's been three hours since Team Seven left the bridge with Zabuza and Haku. Kakashi has been talking with Zabuza about what to expect when they reached the village. "While it's true Naru-chan can most likely get the Hokage to agree to let you stay in the village, I would not expect to be welcomed with open arms. Most likely you will have a three month probation in which you will be put under a Jounin as strong if not stronger then you in order to make sure you won't betray the village," Kakashi finished saying as they were approaching the village gate.
During the time Kakashi and Zabuza were talking Naru and Haku were getting to know each other better as they walked "So, Haku-san, what kinds of adventures have you and Zabuza been on while you two were traveling?" Naru asked as she walked next to Haku.
"Well we mostly have been on the run from Kiri's hunter Nins, and doing whatever work we could find in order to make enough money to live on and the rest would go to Zabuza's goal of freeing Kiri from the tyrant Mizukage." Haku responded back with a smile.
"….."
"What?" Haku asked after seeing the confused expression on Naru's face.
"Well, while I'm sure avoiding the Hunter Nins must have been a bitch, that's not exactly what I had expected the life of a Missing Nin to be," Naru answered with a somewhat depressed face and let out a sigh.
Haku gave her a confused stare "What were you expecting a missing nin's life to be like?" Haku asked in a hastened tone.
"I don't know, but somehow I expected it to be a bit more exciting and thrilling if so many ninjas betray their village and become missing nins," Naru replied as she puts her hands behind her head.
"I don't think ninja chose to become a missing ninja for that reason Naru-chan…" Haku said with a sweat drop.
The group walked for another half an hour before the gates of Konoha came into view. "Wow… so that's Konoha?" Haku said looking at the huge wall and massive gate with the symbol of a leaf on it.
"Yep! Welcome to my home village Haku-kun," Naru chirped happily.
Off to the side Sasuke and Sakura watched Naru drag Haku behind her as she began to run to what she thought was Konoha's main gate "NARU LOOK OUT!" shouted Sakura, but it was too late as Naru ran into a tree. Or would have if Haku hadn't propelled them into a position in which he had his back to the tree and Naru tucked in his arms safely.
"Y...You o...k Naru-chan? You're not hurt are you?" Haku asked though a pained smile.
"N…no I'm fine thank you Haku-kun. Are you ok?" Naru replied after she got her bearings back and used her chakra radar to 'see' what happened.
"I'm fine but please do be more careful were your going, ok?" Haku said with a smile happy that she was okay.
After that Team Seven and guests made their way through the gates after checking in and went to the Hokage tower.
XX Hokage's office XX
"…" was the Hokage's first response after seeing team seven coming back with an A-rank missing nin and his accomplice.
"Okay I give up Kakashi. Tell me why is it that I have an A-rank missing Nin and his accomplices in my office?" Sarutobi asked with a sigh as he leaned back in his char and taking a puff from his pipe.
"Well… um… you see it's ah… like this… ok I got nothing" Kakashi said with a slightly thoughtful look on his face before his shoulders slumped
"I told them that if they came back with us to Konoha that I would talk you into letting them stay and become ninja of Konoha Jiji" Naru said with a smile as everyone else sweat dropped
"Naru you do know it doesn't quite work that way. Because of Zabuza's status as a A-rank missing nin I can't just make him a ninja of Konoha without risking a war with kirie" Sarutobi said with a sigh at his "adopted granddaughter".
"oh but Jiji I'm sure you can make an exception after all you don't want nee-chan finding out about your précis reading natural do you?" Naru asked with a smile.
"You wouldn't" Sarutobi said with a slightly panicked voice.
"Then there's also the fact of you using your crystal ball to, in Ero-Sannin's words, "do research", and let's not forget the favors you owe me," Naru continued with her happy smile while everyone looked at her in shock. 'Is she blackmailing the Hokage!' was the collective thought on every one's mind except Naru and Sarutobi's.
"Naru, you wouldn't do that to your Jiji would you?" Sarutobi asked with and even more panicked look.
"Normally? No, but I promised them Jiji and I never go back on my word, that's my nindo, my ninja way," Naru replied
In the blink of an eye Sarutobi had a Chunin vest and a Jounin vest and two Konoha headbands on his desk in front of him and he was shaking both Zabuza's and Haku's hands. "Welcome to the Konohagakure, Zabuza-san, Haku-san I expect great things from you in your career as leaf shinobi!" Sarutobi said with a smile on his face as everyone, but Naru face faults on the ground.
"What the hell was that?" they yelled as they got up.
"That was me doing everything in my power to stay alive!" Sarutobi replies with a smile as the group just sweat dropped again
"On a more serious note though because of Zabuza's status I will need to put him on a three month standing probation to make sure he want betray the village. After that you will be fully instated as a leaf shinobi," Sarutobi informed them
"I can understand that. So who will be assigned to watch me?" Zabuza asked after putting on his new vest and headband along with Haku
"I'm assigning Kakashi here to that you will be assigned under team seven's Jounin sensei until your three month probation is up. As such you will be going on missions with them and training with them until then." Sarutobi said as he took another puff from his pipe. 1)
"That's fine with me, this way I can get a good sparring partner in kenjutsu" Zabuza said shrugging his shoulders.
"If that is all Team Seven is dismissed for the day and will have a week off" Sarutobi said as he reluctantly got back to doing his paperwork.

"I can't wait to show you everything Haku-kun," exclaims Naru excitedly. "There is the training grounds, the monument and even my favorite restaurant, Ichiraku's, it has the best ramen ever." While talking she grabs Haku's hand while he follows her indulgently.
"Whatever you say Naru-chan."
"Oi Ero-sensei. You better not be showing Zabuza your favorite hobby…" Naru states looking straight ahead, again she surprised the others with her chakra field, while Kakashi hides his orange book, away from the Student of Doom.3)
"Of course not Naru-chan, I learned what happened last time…"
"Good we don't need a pervy Devil any more than we need an Ero-sensei." And with that she drags Haku to the restaurant district.
"Why are you so scared of the girl? I mean your book looked very good from my point of view. In fact I might just buy me one later. After all there must not be that much excitement with this teaching business." Zabuza states while the two adults finally reach the Ramen Stand.
"First of all. no team even one fresh from the academy. can be easy with Naru as a student." Kakashi states sitting down. "Second the reason why I hid my book is that it is not only Naru does not like the things it talks about yet…."
(Cue flash back jutsu *alexa-catta123 throws pellet on the ground causing smoke to appear*)
(Interruption conversations during the story)
While Team 7 is walking back from the bridge after the big fight with Gato, after Haku and Zabuza decide to meet with the others later after they grab their stuff from the hideout they were using. Kakashi as his habit pulls out his orange book, with the younger generation ignoring him for the most part. Except for one, or should we say two different beings, the first is the Master Bridge Maker Tazuna, the second is the flaming, winged, protector of the innocent… Blaze.
("Aaww Kakashi-sensei I didn't know you liked Blaze so much."
"I don't Naru-chan.")
During the time that Kakashi introduced the wonders of Icha Icha to the old man, the feathered fired fiend was also watching. Right when Kakashi got his book back to read it, Blaze swooped over and plucked the book out of Kakashi's fingers.
Next thing Kakashi knows Blaze is on a high branch of a tree down the road with his precious book opened in his claws with his beak tearing a page little by little.
"Nnnooooo!" yells Kakashi, running after Blaze who takes off, all the while Naru and Sakura are laughing up a storm. Even Sasuke's lips twitched up into something a bit more than his usual half-smirk.
Splash! While running after the winged menace, Blaze glided over a small stream and drops the book in it causing Kakashi to fall in after it.
"Next time he will burn it, especially if Inari-otouto saw it." warns the smug phoenix.
(End Flash back no Jutsu *coughing from the previous smoke pellet)
"I swear that bird was laughing at me…" states Kakashi with a sweatdrop, while Zabuza and Haku were laughing quietly.
