Naruto: The Kaseki Clan

Chapter 10: Big Tooth, Knob, Ribbon and X. Sea Monster Feeding Frenzy

Kohaku handed Naruto the big tooth. The blonde could not take his eyes of what was in his hands, but in fear not in admiration.

"This is a tooth?" Sakura asked the rhetorical shivering.

"Is there more than of one of these things?" Sasuke asked.

"Maybe, maybe not. I don't know." Kohaku answered. "But I need to leave now, and pick up the trail again and continue my mission. Goodbye everyone." Kohaku quickly left the house.

After he left, Kakashi then said, "Alright we still need to complete our mission, protect Tazuna. We need to prepare."

"What but how are we going to prepare?" Sakura asked. "Well, I can train you guys." He answered.

"Are you serious?! We are going to take on all of Gato's men? And will you look at what is in Naruto's hands? How is last minute training going to do us good?" Sakura screeched.

"Kohaku said he will be doing what he can on his part. And you've all grown. Together we can do this." Kakashi assured them. Naruto mustered his courage. "Right, together we can do this. Things are going to get better believe it!"

"You are out of your mind. Nothing will turn out good." Inari interrupted them. They all looked at him, "Oh yeah, forgot that you were in the room. Who are you?" Naruto asked.

"Inari my grandson." Tazuna answered for him. "Inari don't be rude to these people." Tsunami told her son.

"Ka-chan. These people are going to die, Gato will find these people and kill them."

"This Gato's will be no problem, we can handle him." Naruto said with confidence.

"You are crazy! You think you are going to be some kind of hero? You're wrong." Inari said and stormed out.

After the heated argument, Naruto kept the tooth in his bag and joined up with the rest. Team 7 was assembled in the forest. Kakashi in his crutches said. "Alright your training starts now. First we will review the understanding of Chakra."

"We already know that." Sasuke said with a hand on his hip. "Sakura, would you care to explain the concept of chakra for us?" Kakashi asked the girl.

Sakura then began explaining chakra, even though he knew the concept, Naruto stayed quiet. "We are already chakra in our jutsus." Sasuke said.

Kakashi then explained about different Jutsu requiring different amount of chakra, and the consequences of using too much chakra, and wasting too much energy.

"So in order to work on that, you need to climb a tree without your hands." Kakashi told them.

Naruto remembered what Kohaku showed him, before his orientation. Kakashi in his crutches then walked up the tree, wowing them. Kakashi explained to them importance of controlling the amount of chakra for any Jutsu. He tossed three kunai at the ground and told them to mark the highest point they can climb.

They all drew chakra at their feet. Sasuke ran up a tree, at halfway his foot smashed against and was pushed off. He quickly made a mark and he landed on his feet and looked at his progress.

"That's about what I expect from Sasuke." Kakashi looked at his standing upside down from the tree branch.

"Hey Sasuke-kun!" Sakura's voice was heard from the top of the tree. She sitting on a branch looking at Sasuke.

"Well, it seems that Sakura is the one that has the most advanced chakra control. Well done." Kakashi praised her, she stuck her tongue out.

"Whatever." Sasuke coldly said looking away, and Sakura got afraid that her Sasuke-kun will hate her.

"Well the great Uchiha Clan, maybe they are not so great." Kakashi said to get Sasuke motivated. "Shut up sensei. You are talking too much." She pointed her finger at him, thinking that her Sasuke-kun will not like her now.

"Hey what's up sensei?" Another voice came from the same branch Kakashi standing upside down on. Everyone looked to see Naruto standing on the same tree branch as Kakashi was on.

"Apparently, you are." Kakashi quipped. "Blood and gravity is not affecting you hanging upside down like that for so long?" Naruto asked.

"Well I have my ways." Kakashi said, climbing to stand upright on the branch with Naruto. "What?! Naruto how are you doing better than Sasuke-kun?! Did you cheat and use your hands?!" Sakura screeched and Sasuke glared at the blonde.

"No, it's uh lucky first try I guess." Naruto said rubbing the back of his head. Sasuke glared at him, now having more determination to finish this training.

"So how are you doing this Naruto?" Kakashi asked his student next to him. Sasuke did not hear them as he was focused on training and Sakura still had her eyes fixed on the Uchiha.

Naruto whispered into Kakashi's ear. "Ah of course. Now go back down and do it again." Kakashi said after hearing Naruto.

After some time had passed, Sakura was bushed. Sasuke and Naruto were still going at it. Naruto had an idea. Naruto turned so his back was facing the tree, with hands in his pocket started walking backwards.

"Hey you idiot what are you trying to do?" Sakura said still lying down. To their amazement, Team 7 watched Naruto placing his foot on the tree trunk and started walking up the tree backwards.

At halfway, he lost his grip. "Whoa, whoa!" Naruto quickly jumped off the tree trunk and landed on his feet. "Hehe guess I got carried away there." Naruto grinned.

"Naruto you idiot." Sakura insulted him. Sasuke crouching down gritted his teeth, he looked up at his progress and he was not pleased.

"Hey Sasuke." Sasuke looked to his right to see Naruto standing next to him. "Do you uh, do you need some advice?" He asked the Uchiha.

"I don't need your help Naruto." Sasuke said.

"You know it's ok to just ask for help."

"Go away dobe." Sasuke got up and ran at the tree again.

"Suit yourself then Sasuke." Naruto sighed.

While Sasuke's was still training in the woods, Sakura and Naruto were at the half built bridge guarding Tazuna.

Sakura was sitting on the bridge of the, watching Tazuna and his colleague arguing. Tazuna talked about the bridge giving hope to the people, his colleague talked about how Gato will be coming after them.

Naruto was next to Sakura, leaning at the railing, squinting his eyes gazing at the ocean. "Hey Naruto." Sakura said.

"Yeah Sakura-Chan?" Naruto sat next to her. "Move away you are too close!" Sakura pushed him away and he pouted.

"Who was that guy?" She asked.

"Hmm? Who?" Naruto asked.

"The guy earlier who was with Zabuza"

"Haku? The fake hunter-nin?"

"No! No! The leaf ninja that gave you the big tooth!"

"OH HIM! Yeah, he's Kaseki Kohaku." Naruto grinned.

"Yeah, him. Who is he?" She asked. "He's my friend." He answered.

"Friend?"

"Yeah, and he was the one who told me about the test that those who graduated from the Academy must take." Naruto decided to reveal his source of information to her.

"Really?"

"Yep."

"How did you two know other?" Sakura then asked. Naruto froze a bit. "Um, I don't think he will want me to tell you. It's a bit of a secret."

"Hmmm, a Kaseki is that right?"

Naruto smiled, "That's right."

"The clan of refugees." She said.

"The Dinosaur Clan I prefer to call them." Naruto said, not liking that Sakura called his friend and his family refugees.

"Well they are still refugees right? I mean there is so little of them left, pretty terrible if you ask me." She continued.

"Well Sasuke's the only Uchiha left. Does that make him more terrible?" Naruto made a mistake.

Sakura hit him on the head. "DON'T TALK LIKE THAT ABOUT SASUKE-KUN!" She shouted.

She calmed down. "Well anyway it's kind of lucky he managed to stop Zabuza from going after us now right? Now we can just focus on simple street thug coming for Tazuna right?"

Naruto looked at the looked at the ocean once more, "Hmm, for now maybe."

Evening came Naruto, Sakura and Tazuna were walking on the streets in the town. "Where are we going?" Sakura asked.

"To get some stuff for dinner back home." Tazuna said, although there was not much that the stores could provide.

Naruto then noticed a crowd gathering, Naruto elbowed his through the crowd, and saw what the commotion was. It was Haku, his hair loose and he was wearing a pink sleeveless Kimono. And he giving free food to the starving people. Fishes, vegetables, and sacks of rice for everyone. Everyone cheered for joy that hunger can be satisfied. And the men were ogling at the sight of Haku providing food for them.

Every time there was "Thank you so much miss." Coming from the people, Haku response would be, "Your welcome and I'm a boy."

"Haku? Is that you?" Naruto asked coming up to him, surprised at what he was doing.

"Hello Naruto." He said in his usual calm voice.

"Uh, we are not enemies any longer right?" Naruto cautiously said.

"No, thankfully we are not."

"What are you doing here?" Naruto asked with a sigh of relief.

"I'm giving food to these people. The food came from a warehouse that your friends managed to find. Your friends took care of the guards at the warehouse, and told me to provide the food as he continue his search for the ships." Haku said with his usual tone but with a smile.

"Um why?"

"Zabuza and I are supposed to become heroes of the Land of Waves. So that Gato will focus on Zabuza and I while your friend carries out his own business."

Tazuna came in with Sakura, "Are these free?"

"Yes they are sir." The old man's mouth watered and took as much as he needed, making sure to spare enough for the rest of the hungry people.

"Wow this is so cool." Naruto said.

"Yes, it is. It feels extremely satisfying to good something good for these people. To do something good for once." Haku said with a genuine smile.

"Well we got to get back already. Bye Haku." Naruto waved him goodbye.

"Goodbye and good luck."

"Where is Zabuza?! He's supposed to be back by now!" Gato's shouted stamping his little feet in his hideout.

"Sir! We are getting reports of Haku providing free food to the people this evening sir." One of his thugs said to him. Gato became furious, his free for hire henchman betrayed him.

"Then go get rid of that stupid fem boy trying to play hero!" Gato sent his men off.

Back at Tazuna's house at night, Sasuke completed his training already and everyone was having dinner. Soon after Sakura brought the question about the family picture. Inari without a word left the table and went out of the house, and Tsunami went after him to comfort her son.

Tazuna then told Team 7 the story of Kaiza. His relationship with Inari, his heroics at the floodgate, becoming a hero to the Land Of Waves and his public execution by Gato. He then told them about Inari's lack of hope in heroes.

"Well he's wrong. There are such things as heroes. In fact there is one in the Land of Waves right now." Naruto said.

"Don't tell me it's you dobe." Sasuke insulted him.

"Well apart from me teme, it's Haku. He was providing food to the village this evening. And he's going to do more with Zabuza."

Tazuna then sadly said, "May heaven help those two, now Gato will be hunting them now."

Somewhere else in the Land of Waves, in the forest there was a campfire and a tent. In the tent was Zabuza still recuperating, and outside the tent Haku was sitting near the fire checking the number of senbon he has left. Away from the fire were a couple of paralysed thugs with needles in their necks, both thugs belonging to Gato.

Elsewhere far away from the town was a warehouse, old and rusty. Inside there were more illegal drugs, counterfeit notes and fake cigarettes, and they were all burning.

Outside of the warehouse, there guards all unconscious except with bite marks, slashes and bruised up faces, except for one. The lone guard was on the ground lying face down, in front of him was Zabuza sitting on a worn out sofa in a lazy pose. And on top of the guard was Shinku with a raptor foot pinning him down.

"Wh-what is that thing?" The guard crying, shaking in his pants.

"That thing is your transport to six feet under if don't tell me where Gato's ships are being docked." Zabuza said.

"I- I don't know Zabuza please." The guard sobbed. Zabuza snapped his fingers, Shinku bent down, and clamped down with his jaws on the back of the guard's head, and slowly applied more pressure.

"AH! I DON'T KNOW! ZABUZA! PLEASE! I DON'T KNOW! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!" The guard screamed for mercy.

"Then is there another warehouse like this?!" Zabuza leaned in asking fiercely.

"YES! YES! IT'S FURTHER UP NORTH FROM HERE! PLEASE!"

Zabuza groaned in frustration, threw a small syringe with a tranquilizer and hit the guard in the neck, and the guard soon fell asleep. Shinku got off him, and Zabuza stood up and transformed back into Kohaku.

"The trail lengthens." Shinku said in Kohaku's mind.

Kohaku said, "And we don't have much time left if a ship leaves, the dinner bell will be ringing."

The next day, Team 7 still trained on their tree climbing until Naruto and Sasuke could reach the top of the trees. Evening came again and everyone was having dinner, when everyone was confident about the success of the bridge, Inari shouted again saying that it is all hopeless, Naruto talked back saying that things will turn around.

They continue to argue when Inari shouted, "You don't know what it's like to be suffering all the time! You don't know what's like to be treated like trash!"

Naruto's face darkened. "You think I don't know suffering? You think you anything about me? Well let me think tell you, unlike me you are just cowering in a corner, crying, whimpering and not doing anything about it."

Naruto then stood up with his hands in his pocket. "I don't need this." He walked out of the house. He strolled around outside. His eyes then fixed on the large stretch of water. "Koha-nii, how are you holding up?"

"I AM GETTING TIRED OF THIS NOW!" Kohaku shouted, revealing himself from the Henge as he grabbed the non-complying thug by the neck. The thug has been telling Kohaku that he was dead man, even though it was not looking well for him. Everyone else was beaten, the warehouse of illegal goods he supposed to guard now destroyed. Shinku the raptor started eating one of the defeated guards, he could not restrain himself anymore.

"His next meal is going to be you unless you tell me WHERE! THEY! ARE!" Kohaku bellowed at the thug's face, staring him down. Shinku opened his mouth, showing the bloody mess as he snarled.

"OK! OK! THE SHIPS ARE AT SOUTH WEST FROM HERE! PLEASE! PLEASE! DON'T LET HIM EAT ME!" The thug cried.

"Thank you." Kohaku flatly said, punching his lights out.

He then looked at Shinku sternly, "Sorry." He heard Shinku's voice in his mind. Kohaku sighed, "Never mind that. We got to move now."

And then Kaseki and the raptor took off.

Back at Haku's camp. Zabuza was next to Haku with the camp fire checking his arm. "You are making a quick recovery." Haku said to him.

"Not fully yet though." Zabuza said. "I'll get some more water." Haku said standing up with a bottle in his hands.

"Haku." Zabuza said to him, they looked at each other for a moment. Zabuza then had a sincere smile behind his bandage mask.

"Thank you."

Morning has risen, Team 7 minus Naruto and Tazuna left and made their way to the bridge. A while later, Naruto woke up. "Argh! Why didn't someone wake me up?" He quickly changed into his attire and rushed out of Tsunami's house to meet up with his team. Jumping from tree to tree, he noticed something.

Back at Tsunami's house, a kitchen wall was cut open, and two of Gato's men with swords entered. One had a beanie, the other had tattoos all over the torso and an eyepatch. Inari in the bathroom heard his mother scream.

He rushed downstairs to see his mother at the mercy of Gato's men. "Ka-chan!" He cried for her. "No, Inari run! Just run! Just let the boy go!" Tsunami cried.

"The boss said only one hostage right?" The eyepatch thug asked. "That's right only one." The other said. "Then we can waste this little runt." The thug smirked.

"No! Not my son! Inari! Run!" Tsunami cried again.

Before the two thugs could draw their swords however, they were grabbed by the back of their necks and thrown out of the house from the exit they made. Inari run to his mother and she held him tight.

"Sorry I took so long. Bumped into Naruto on the way here." A voice said to them. They looked at their saviour. It was a figure with a Kubikiribocho on the back.

Momchi Zabuza.

"Zabuza? Why are you here?" Tsunami asked with caution still holding onto her son.

"I'm keeping my end of a deal. I'm supposed to be-"He groaned for a moment, "Dare I say it, the Hero of the Land of Waves."

But inside he felt a bit of satisfaction, that he was doing something actually good together with Haku.

The thugs on their backs, the eyepatch thug was struck with a senbon on the neck from Haku in his hunter-nin outfit standing on the roof of Tsunami's house.

Before the thug with the beanie could get up, Zabuza stomped on his chest hard. Haku jumped from the roof to join him.

"Where is Gato?" Zabuza hissed.

Kohaku and Shinku finally reached their destination, the docks holding Gato's ships. There were a few ships still docked, but it seemed as though one was missing. Thankfully there were a few guards to deal with. Shinku was able to dispatch them quickly with his fire feathers, except for one.

Kohaku pinned down the last guard on the floor stepping on the guard's chest. "Has any ship left the docks earlier?" He asked with a snarl. Shinku growled to scare him.

"Yes! Yes! One ship has left, not long ago." He quickly answered in fear of the Kaseki and the raptor.

"What ship?! Who's on it?!"

"Gato and his army. He's on his way to the bridge to destroy it and kill the bridge builders."

With a roar in frustration, Kohaku kicked the guard by the chin, knocking him out.

"We're too late." Shinku said.

Kohaku thought for a solution. He checked the boats, looking for anything to help. He went into the last boat, and saw what the cargo was. Barrels, lots of them. With suspicion, he slowly opened one the lid of the barrels, inside the barrels were powder, black powder.

Explosive powder. "This better work." He thought of an idea.

At the bridge, Naruto joined up with his team. Guarding Tazuna and the bridge builders. Sakura looked out at the ocean. And she saw something their way.

"Kakashi-sensei. There's something over there." She called to her sensei. Kakashi and Tazuna came to her see what she was looking at. "It's Gato's ship!" Tazuna panicked, and so did the other bridge builders. The ship was approaching, the whooping and evil cheer of the thugs could heard.

"Naruto. Sasuke. Get ready they are coming." Kakashi said to the two, Naruto and Sasuke were at the unfinished end of the bridge. They went to the railing to see the ship coming towards them.

"Finally, I've been waiting for some action." Sasuke smirked.

But Naruto had a worrisome face. "A ship is here, then that mean…" He remembered what Kohaku gave him.

"SENSEI!" Naruto shouted to Kakashi. "BIG TOOTH!"

Before anyone could react, they were sounds of loud splashes. Everybody looked at ship, and the ship was capsized when a head popped out of the water, it was huge, grey scaly skin, long narrow snout with thick knives for teeth.

The head of a Tylosaurus (Knob Lizard). A fifteen metre long mosasaur.

Everyone on the ship fell into the water. The Tylosaurus's head went underwater, and reappeared in out of the water surface straight up with Gato in its mouth. The sound of Gato's scream stopped when the Tylosaurus clamped its jaws, swallowing Gato whole.

Another creature appeared, a long slender blue skinned neck came out of the water, with a head with long and thin sharp teeth.

An Elasmosaurus (Ribbon lizard). A fourteen metre long plesiosaur.

The neck came down, crashing into the water along with anyone under it. The head bit into a thug, blood splattering all over.

A massive scaly flipper emerged out of the water, dark blue and white in colour, it came down and slammed down on the water, and smashing into more thugs. A head, long and narrow, with a thick and powerful neck emerged out of the water, pikes for teeth, piercing anyone caught in the teeth got crushed as the head clamped its jaws down.

Pliosaurus Funkei, Predator X. Thirteen metre long Pliosaur.

Everyone looked at horror, looking at the massive patch of blood and the feeding frenzy. The splashes of seawater and blood, the glances of sea monsters eating the struggling men in the water. No even noticed the dorsal fin that was coming to the bridge, heading right towards to the pillars supporting the unfinished end of bridge. The dorsal fin went underwater, whatever that owned that dorsal fin smashed right through the pillar, and the unfinished section of the bridge started to fall apart.

"Everyone run!" Kakashi shouted. Team 7 quickly ushered everyone away from the crumbling section. But then the floor below Naruto and Sasuke gave way. It collapsed down into the water, along with Naruto and Sasuke. They screamed as they plunged into the water along with the debris.

"Sasuke-kun! Naruto!" Sakura screamed. "Someone get a rope!" Kakashi shouted at the bridge builders.

Sasuke in the water, looking around the carnage. He swam and dodge the debris around him and they sank deeper. Everything was happening so fast. He turned his head to see the blood bath, and the Elasmosaurus swimming swim right for him with an open mouth.

However, Sasuke could see it coming. He swam above the attacking plesiosaur as it charge through. His Sharingan was activated. He avoided every attack from the Elasmosaurus and debris falling, he could see them.

Naruto further away in the water, saw the bloodbath, and the Tylosaurus and Predator X feasting, down below he'd barely caught the sight of a massive two pronged tail fin going down disappearing into the dark water.

Before he could worry about what was deep underneath him, the Mosasaur and Pliosaur came straight for him with jaws opened wide. He put his hands in a cross seal, and shadow clones appeared in the water, confusing the prehistoric sea monsters. The Tylosaurus and Pliosaurus began chomping down the clones all over.

Sasuke popped his head out of the water, gasping for breath. "Sasuke!" Kakashi called out to him sticking onto the side of another pillar supporting the bridge. "Catch!" He tossed a rope to Sasuke.

Sasuke caught the rope and Kakashi quickly pulled him in and Sasuke climbed up the pillar. "Naruto!" They both shouted for him.

In the feeding frenzy, the Mosasaur and Pliosaur continue to bite down the Naruto clones, with the real Naruto getting caught in the middle. The force of the Mosasaur's tail and Pliosaur's flippers moving through the water tossed Naruto around.

But then the two sea monsters swam away from him leaving Naruto and a few clones alive, they all swam up and stick their heads out of the water. "Naruto! Catch!" Kakashi threw the rope to him.

Something underwater came up to the surface emerging out of the darkness, the owner of the dorsal fin revealed itself.

A shark, a massive shark, gigantic, enormous.

Megalodon (Big tooth), a twenty metre long great white shark.

Its mouth opened wide showing all of its razor sharp teeth. Swimming up fast to all of the Narutos, its head came out of the water, with all of the Narutos in its mouth. They all screamed, the Megalodon gulped them down.

"No!" Everyone on the bridge shouted in despair.

In the shark's stomach, Naruto became to change. The canines increased in size, his nail grew and sharpened, and hair became messier, the marks on his cheeks thickened. His blue eyes, now red with black slits. Red chakra surged around him. The shark knew it ate something very bad.

Its mistake grew worse, Naruto now in a state of stress, clawed and punched through the shark's stomach and made his escape, tearing his out through the shark's gills. With a burst stomach and gills, the heavily wounded shark began to swim away from him along with the other prehistoric sea monsters.

Naruto growled and swam up to the surface. With a powerful leap, he jumped out of the water, landing of the side of the pillar. His growling, his thickened cheek marks, sharp canine and nails reduced.

"Naruto!" Kakashi shouted. He noticed Naruto's change. "The seal, it loosened but it's still holding." He thought.

"Are you ok?" Kakashi asked, looking at Naruto's state.

"Yeah, I feel fine sensei. But that shark was huge!" Naruto replied breathing heavily.

"We're ok." Sasuke said.

Kakashi, Naruto and Sasuke climbed back onto the bridge, looking at the carnage at the sea. "Sasuke-kun! You're ok!" Sakura ran up to the Uchiha and hug him.

Kakashi sighed in relief, they looked at the sea once more, and there was another ship. And they saw four large black figures in the water coming for it.

"Those monsters are coming for that ship! Hey you! Get away from there! Get out of the water!" Naruto shouted.

"That's not a ship." A voice said to them. Team 7 turned to see Kohaku joining up with them. "It's a trap. And those things are taking the bait."

Beside him was a man in a regular chunin outfit. He had dark skin and red hair. Naruto looked at him for a moment. "Shinku?"

He did not respond.

Zabuza and Haku soon arrived as well, followed by the rest of the villagers "Where's Gato? We were told he was on his way here." Zabuza said.

"Fish food. Along with his army." Kakashi answered.

The Tylosaurus, Elasmosaurus, Predator X and the injured Megalodon began biting into the ship.

Kohaku put his hands in a snake seal.

"Let it rain." (I would have said SMILE YOU SON OF A, but oh well.)

And there was a massive explosion, blowing up the ship and the sea predators. It was raining blood, guts, boat pieces and other sea monsters parts, raining all over the water. They all watched the spectacle.

"Whoa." Naruto said jaw dropped

"Eww!" Sakura revolted at the sight.

"Well that's it then." Kohaku sighed. The villagers cheered at the victory, Kakashi returned to his lazy demeanour. Naruto cheered that the ordeal was over. "Sasuke-kun you were so brave." Sakura praised Sasuke, giving no credit to Naruto.

Kohaku and Shinku in the Henge went up to Zabuza.

"So this is the end of our deal." Kohaku said, reaching into his pocket.

"No need for it." Zabuza stopped him, looking at Haku and the villagers. "I think I've found something better." He said with a genuine smile. Zabuza and Haku went with the villagers, trying to start something new.

Kohaku did not say anything and went along with it. He and Shinku went back to Team 7, "Well, my mission is over. But yours isn't right?" He asked.

"Yeah, we still are going to watch over Tazuna until he completes the bridge, although that might take a bit longer now." Kakashi said.

"So this is Shinku?" Sasuke asked looking at other 'man'. Shinku did not say anything, and looked at Kohaku.

"It's ok. Show yourself." The Kaseki said. Shinku dropped the Henge, showing his true form.

Everyone looked at the raptor, Sakura shrieked, Sasuke stepped back. Kakashi's eye narrowed. "Relax guys, he's ok. He's safe right Kohaku?" Naruto said, standing a bit too close. Shinku snarled a bit, startling Naruto a bit.

"Not even you Naruto." Kohaku said flat. Naruto, thought about what he said, then he remembered. He was not there when Shinku, Midori and Yasei were born. "Just don't do anything to him and you'll be ok." Kohaku said to him.

Naruto joined with his team. "What is that thing?" Sakura asked, standing behind Sasuke.

"That thing is Shinku, he's a dinosaur. You should know, I'm a Kaseki." Kohaku answered. "Well, I'm going to head back already. See back at home when you're mission's done." Kohaku and Shinku turned to leave.

"How are you going to get back?" Naruto asked.

"Probably a boat."

And the Kaseki and raptor left, leaving Team 7 on the bridge.

"Aren't dinosaurs supposed to be big, dumb, slow moving animals?" Sakura then said, thinking that she knew what a dinosaur is supposed to be.

"You keep telling yourself that." Naruto said in his mind.

Kohaku and Shinku arrived at the Land of Fire made their way home.

"There's still one question though." Kohaku said to the raptor. "Where did those predators come from?"

At last the bridge was finally built. All of the villagers and Team 7 gathered. Everyone thanked the ninjas, declaring that the bridge will be called 'The Great Naruto Bridge'.

They said their goodbyes, Naruto and Inari holding back their tears as they departed. Behind the villagers, in a tree a man with a massive sword on his back stood on the branch, beside him was a boy in a hunter-nin uniform. They stood on the branch, watching over the villagers.

As Team 7 crossed the bridge, Naruto took out something in his bag. "Hey guys, check it out." Everyone looked at him, and saw him holding the Megalodon tooth, it was bigger than his head.

"You still have that with you?" Sakura shrieked, creeped out by the tooth.

"Yeah! It's a souvenir for our mission in the Land of Waves." Naruto grinned, happy about obtaining a Megalodon tooth.

"You are such an idiot dobe." Sasuke insulted.

"You're just jealous that you don't have a cool souvenir like me teme." Naruto talked back.

"Don't talk to Sasuke-kun like that!" Sakura hit him on the head.

After the mission in the Land of Waves.

"Seriously, you just got back from the Land of Waves and this is the first thing you want to do?" Kohaku said. "Yeah! Yeah! I want to train Koha-nii! I want to get stronger than Sasuke." Naruto was pumped up.

"It's night, Naruto." Kohaku said flat. "I want to train Koha-nii come on please?" Naruto begged.

"How is this training?"

"I want to see how fast I can move." Naruto grinned, Kohaku sighed.

With them were the seven raptors. They were in the raptor enclosure at night with a half-moon shining, and the raptors were getting ready for a scent drill.

"How does this work again?" Naruto asked, in the enclosure watching the raptors gathering at a gate that will lead into the forest far away from the village's busy streets.

"This is something the raptors have done before. The raptors were given a scent, which is the scent that they are familiar with, a scent mark that Oba-san has placed some time ago far in the forest. When they reached the objective point they will come back here." Kohaku explained to Naruto.

"Shinku, Midori and Yasei will be in the front. Hyoga, Raimu, Kemuri, Gorudo and you will be behind them. Shinku will be leading the run. He's the big one if you know what I mean."

Shinku the crimson feathered raptor, Midori the green raptor, and Yasei the orange with stripes raptor assembled at the enclosure gate.

Behind them were Raimu the green feathered raptor, Kemrui the grey raptor, Hyoga the blue raptor and Gorudo the golden feathered raptor were standing behind them. And Naruto was standing in the middle of them, nervous by the presence of so many raptors, their purring and chittering noise did not really help.

"Just follow them and keep up." Kohaku said standing at the side of the assembled pack of raptors.

"Uh Koha-nii?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah?"

"How fast can they run?"

Kohaku paused for a second, "Well it's not very clear. Like fifty, sixty, maybe seventy."

"Fifty, sixty, seventy what?"

"Miles per hour. And that's without their chakra."

The blonde's jaw dropped.

"Ah don't worry about it." Kohaku said.

Naruto thought an idea. He put his hand into a Ram seal and transformed into another Gorudo.

Kohaku walked up to the front. "Don't mind Naruto ok?" He said to Shinku, Midori and Yasei.

The Kaseki opened the gate, showing the dark forest, the raptors started to get excited.

"Ready?" Kohaku standing next to the opened gate, and the raptors started cawing, showing their anticipation.

"And…GO!"

Shinku made a screech and dashed off, the entire raptor pack followed. The eight raptors all sprinted into the forest, growling, cawing, and jumping over fallen trees and rocks.

Soon after that the Gorudo in the middle started panting, struggling to catch up, the other raptors had no trouble. Naruto transformed back, trying his best to keep up.

"Wait! Wait! Wait for me!" Naruto panted, seeing Shinku, Midori and Yasei creating more distance. Naruto was then tossed into the air, and landed on something moving fast, he looked to see that he was on Gorudo, seeing the back of Gorudo's golden feathered head.

Now Naruto riding on Gorudo, was moving with the rest of the pack. He looked to his left, seeing Hyoga running beside him.

Kemuri and Raimu was running as just as fast behind Naruto. In front was Midori and Yasei, and further in front was Shinku leading the run.

Naruto could hold his excitement.

He held his hands up in the air making fists, and cheered, "WOOHOO!"

The raptors all let out a screech, dashing through the forest into the night.

Kohaku completed his mission

Naruto earned a Megalodon Tooth souvenir

Zabuza and Haku...well they became like the batman and robin of the Land of Waves.

Hope you enjoy this chapter everyone.
