Alright, I'm back sorry for the long wait. I'm going to try and write this in a more traditional style of writing. So tell me which style you like better after reading this chapter. Without further ado, on with the story.

"well, well, well. If it isn't the monkey and his teammates." Said Zabuza appearing out of the mist with the Hunter-Nin by his side. He glances over the Genin and The Jonin Sensei. "Look the little ones still shaking" He says as he creates 10 water clones that surround the team.

A smirk showing up on his face, Sasuke replies in a cocky tone. "I'm shaking from excitement." He pulls out a Kunai waiting for his Sensei's command.

"Do it Sasuke!" Kakashi orders.

In a split second Sasuke disappears and reappears back in his original spot. All the clones turn back into water and slosh to the ground.

"So the genin has gotten stronger has he?" Zabuza says glancing around looking for Naruto. "Where's the blond one? I want to pay him back for what he did to me in our last fight." He says with an evil glint in his eyes.

Back at the House with Naruto

How could they leave Tsunami and Inari alone with Gato's thugs still out there Naruto thought as he pretended to be asleep.

"They probably didn't really think about it kit. Plus you're still her, so it's fine." Kuruma says from within Naruto's mind.

"Yeah I know. But imagine if I was actually asleep. The what? The thugs would come and probably abduct the both of them you know?"

"I guess you're right. So how long do you think we have to wait?"

"Assuming the battle is going on right now, Gato will send his thugs when he thinks we're busy. So it shouldn't be long now."

Just then a knock sounds throughout the household. "I guess they're here." Naruto says in his mind.

The door bust open revealing 2 of Gato's men, both of them have a sword tied to their waist. "Are you Tazuna's daughter?" One of them asks Tsunami.

"Yes," she replies a little fearfully.

"Good, you're coming with us," the second thug says while grabbing her wrist, and dragging her out the door.

The whole time Inari was standing in the center of the room crying. he didn't want to lose his mother, but he couldn't do anything to prevent it from happening. He was too scared. I'm a coward! I can't do anything but stand still and watch my mother get dragged away, Inari thought. Suddenly the memory of what Naruto said to him a week ago flashes through his mind. With a new found confidence, he rushes after the 2 thugs who were dragging his mother down the pier.

"Hey! Let my Mother go!" Inari said, having finally caught up to them.

"Inari! What are you doing? Run away!" Tsunami yelled at her son.

"Quiet you!" Said one of the thugs knocking her to the ground. he looks back towards Inari, "Get lost kid! Before something bad happens to you." He threatens.

"No! Let my mother go!" Inari screams back at them.

"Don't say we didn't warn you kid." The thugs say as they rush to Inari, swords drawn.

Inari closes his eyes waiting for the feeling of swords cutting through him. Nothing happens, so he opens his eyes in shock to see both the thugs sprawled on the ground, with Naruto standing in front of him.

Naruto turns around glancing at a bewildered Inari. "What's wrong?" He asks.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were resting." He asked curiously.

Naruto kneels down staring directly at Inari, before responding, "I had to pretend to be resting so Kakashi would let me stay, just in case I was right about Gato sending his thugs after you guys while he thought we were busy." Naruto explains to him.

"Oh, that makes sense." Inari smiles, "Thanks for making sure we were safe Naruto."

"Of course, and I'm proud of you Inari. That was a very brave thing you did. Keep it up. Anyway I got to go catch up with the rest of them." He said as he stands back up, ruffling Inari's hair. He turns around and jumps into the trees at untraceable speeds.

Back at The Bridge

"Naruto exhausted himself training this week. So I let him rest. Sorry to disappoint you." Said Kakashi, glaring at the rogue and the Hunter-Nin.

"Pity, well it looks like you finally have a rival. Eh Haku?" Zabuza asked the Hunter-Nin.

"It would appear so Zabuza-Sama." Replied Haku as she stepped forward ready to fight.

"Sasuke! You handle Haku. Sakura, guard Tazuna. I'll deal with Zabuza!" Kakashi says as he pulls up his headband, revealing his Sharingan.

Sasuke steps forward towards Haku, ready for a fight. He dashes forward with Kunai in hand and clashes with a Senbon needle that Haku pulled out at the last second.

"You can't win. I now have two advantages in this fight." Haku warns.

"Oh yeah, and what would those be?" Asked Sasuke with smugness in his tone.

"One is the water on the ground. And 2, I have one of your hands occupied. So you can only run from my attacks.

Before Sasuke could ask what she means, Haku raises her hands performing a Jutsu.

What one handed seals. I didn't know that was possible, Sasuke thought as he watched Haku.

"Mizu no sutairu: Mizu no hari (Water style: Water Needles)" Haku mutters as the water on the ground forms into Senbon needles. They aim themselves toward Sasuke, and all fly at him at once. He jumps backwards, narrowly avoiding them.

"Well that's new." Said Sasuke as he land back on the ground, only for Haku to rush him with a punch aimed to is head. He blocks with his left hand just in time. She then throws a kick to the side of his head. He blocks it with his right arm.

"You definitely have gotten faster. I'll admit that, but you still stand no chance against me." Haku warns, once again.

"Well see about that." Sasuke replies, before he vanishes and reappears behind Haku, throwing a kick to her back. Right before his foot can make contact, she jumps up to avoid it. Sasuke isn't finished however. he pulls out a couple Kunai and Shuriken, and launches them at her while she can only block. She blocks all the projectiles with a Senbon. Sasuke vanishes once again, appearing above her head with downward kick, he catches her off guard, and slams her into the bridge.

Zabuza having watched the entire ordeal take place, was completely shocked. This Genin was actually standing a chance against Haku.

"I can't have you underestimating my team members Zabuza. We never did tell you Sasuke's last name did we?" Kakashi boast.

"No! There's no way" Said Zabuza as he started to realize who Haku was fighting.

"Yes, his full name is Sasuke Uchiha. He carries within him the famed blood of the Uchiha clan, including their Kekkai Genkai (Bloodline Trait). The Sharingan."

"So it appears that not everyone was eradicated as we were led to believe." Zabuza mused. "No matter. Haku also possesses a rare Kekkai Genkai." He says in an effort to strike fear into Kakashi.

"What are you talking about?" Kakashi asked, fear evident in his tone.

"Just watch," Zabuza said glancing back over to the fight.

"That was impressive, but you still cant beat me. I have one more trick up my sleeve. Haku lifts up her hand in another one-handed seal. "Aisu sutairu: Kurisutaruaisumirā! (Ice Style: Crystal Ice Mirrors)" She sais as the water starts to form into a dome of mirrors that completely surround Sasuke, effectively trapping him, and preventing any type of rescue that his team may try to accomplish.

"What is that? I've never seen anything like it." Kakashi asks Zabuza.

"I told you, that's Haku's Kekkai Genkai, Ice Style: Crystal Ice Mirrors." He answers with a proud grin on his face. "It's the reason I kept Haku with me all this time. It's why she's so valuable to me."

Kakashi makes a move to help Sasuke before Zabuza cuts him off with his sword. "Hold it Kakashi. If you try to save him, I'll just go and kill Tazuna and the pink haired girl while you're busy." Zabuza warned.

Dang it! What am I gonna do. If only Naruto was here. He could get Sasuke out of the prison and then help him defeat Haku.

As if answering his prayer, Naruto appears in a puff of Orange smoke in the center of the bridge. "Hey guys what'd I miss?" he asked glancing around at the people on the bridge.

"Naruto, what are you doing. You should of stayed hidden, and attacked from out of site." Kakashi deadpanned.

"It's alright Sensei. Not like it'll matter anyway. These two can't possibly stand a chance against me." Naruto replies with a cocky grin.

"Is that so Brat?!" Asked Zabuza.

"Yes it is No brows." Replied Naruto, mocking Zabuza, in an effort to piss him off.

"Why you little! When I'm done with your sensei, I'm coming after you." Zabuza threatened.

"Is that supposed to scare me." Naruto asked with a board tone, which succeeded in pissing him off even further. "hey Kakashi, where's Sasuke?"

"Over there," Kakashi replied pointing towards the ice dome.

"OK thanks. I'll get him out." Naruto said as he vanished.

This is good. With Naruto attacking from the outside, and me attacking from the inside. We might be able to get me out of here. His thoughts were cut short however, as Naruto appeared in front of him. "What are you doing you idiot!"

"Saving you, Duh." Naruto responded with a bored tone.

"But now you're trapped in here to Dobe!"

"Are you sure about that?" Naruto asked with a smirk on his face.

Before Sasuke can ask what he meant by that, he sees another Naruto standing outside of the dome. " You're a clone?" He asked.

"Yeah, duh. Did you really think I'd be stupid enough to actually come in here myself. Even though I could still probably get out anyway." He added as an afterthought.

"What makes you so sure about that?" Sasuke asked, his curiosity getting the best of him at how calm Naruto is about the situation.

"Just trust me on this." Naruto responds with a smirk on his face.

"So what's your plan genius?" Sasuke asks, getting impatient with this conversation.

"Just follow my lead." Naruto stand up and turns to the Ninja in the Mirrors. "Hello again Haku."

"Naruto." She responds glancing at him, curious as to how he was planning on beating her.

"Wait, you know each other?" Sasuke asks wondering how they knew each other's names.

"We met a week ago, when I helped her collect herbs for Zabuza." Naruto answers.

"Why would you help her heal the enemy Naruto!" Sasuke accuses.

"Because I wanted to fight him again." Naruto answers in a duh tone.

"I don't understand you at all." Sasuke responds.

"And you never will. Now lets get back to the fight. Are you ready Haku." Naruto asks.

"Yes, and I'm curious to see how you'll back up all your tough talk Naruto." Haku says as she launches all her Senbon at him from multiple directions.

Before anyone can move, Naruto vanishes avoiding all the projectiles with ease. "Oh come on, you got to do better than that if you want to beat me Haku." Naruto says bating her to up her game.

Once again Haku launches several Senbon at Naruto at even greater speeds then before. Still he avoids all of them like it was nothing. "I have to say, I'm not very I'm not impressed with your show of skill, or lack there of." He says infuriating Haku even more.

Why can't I hit him? I can't even see him when he moves. Haku thought as she launches her Senbon as fast as she can.

Done with this fight Naruto Vanishes and appears to the side of Haku. He grabs her arm and slams her into one of her mirrors, shattering the Jutsu.

She tries to remove her arm from his grip, but it's no use ash he decides to grab her even tighter. She looks up at him in fear and shock in her eyes, wondering what he'll do next. Her thoughts were cut short as Naruto ripped off her mask and threw her across the bridge 30 ft. away.

He stood there for a second, before crushing the mask in his hand. "Why do you even work for scum like Zabuza anyway." Naruto asks with an eerily calm and somber tone of voice that totally throws Haku off even more.

Haku flashes back to the memory of her parents, and how she accidentally killed her father after he killed her mother, then tried to kill her. Then a memory of Zabuza finding her flashed through her mind. "He gave me a purpose in life. So as long as I live, I will honor his wishes no matter what the cost to my soul."

"That's ludicrous." Naruto responded simply.

"Not to me. When you have someone to protect, that's when you truly become strong. Do you have anyone you want to protect Naruto."

"I guess. I never really thought about it." Naruto answered. "By the way, you've been fighting a clone the whole time."

"What! Well I guess I truly am useless to Zabuza now. if I can't even beat a clone, that has only half of your power." She pauses looking down at the ground for a second. "Naruto, I want you to kill me. If I can no longer be useful to Zabuza, I don't have any more purpose in life. Please kill me" She request with a sad smile on her face.

"You know if we met under different circumstances, we could have been friends. But if this is what you really want, and there's nothing I can do to change your mind?" Naruto begs.

"No." Haku responds solemnly.

"All right." Naruto pulls out a kunai and rushes to Haku. Faster than anyone can see including Haku, Naruto Stabs the Kunai into Her chest.

"Thank you Naruto." She smiles with her head on his shoulder, before she falls to the ground dead.

I can't believe it, Haku actually lost and to a Genin. Even if it was him who beat her it's still a huge surprise. Not to mention it was a clone. Zabuza thought. "Where is the real one any way?" he asked.

"Right here," Naruto said as he appeared in front of Zabuza with a glare directed at him.

The KI was practically suffocating Zabuza. For the first time in his ever, he actually felt fear for his life and well-being.

No one said anything as Naruto raised his hands in a sign that was familiar to Kakashi. 5 chains shot out of Naruto and wrapped around Zabuza's arms, legs, and waist, effectively grounding him to the spot he was standing. The clone that killed Haku appeared by The real Naruto's side, waiting for a command. "Kill him!" He said with no regret in his tone. the clone vanished and reappeared next to Zabuza. before anyone can stop him, the clone slit Zabuza's throat with the same Kunai that killed Haku.

The clone then disappeared, and so did the chains around Zabuza's body as it fell lifeless on the ground. For the longest time, there was only silence as everyone stared at Naruto in Shock, Fear, and Awe all at the same time. All the memories of the clone flooded into Naruto's mind, and a sad look appeared on his face.

Kakashi was the first to speak up. "Naruto, are you ok. You know, you didn't have to do that. I could have beaten him."

"I know." Naruto responded simply, still not bothering to look at anybody.

"Why did you do it?" Kakashi asked worried for his students emotional health.

"Because he deserved it!" Naruto answered bitterly. "I don't want to talk about it anymore ok." He began to walk away, and it was at that moment that Gato and his men decided to show up.

"Well, well, well. It looks like Zabuza wasn't able to handle you puny Ninja! Demon of the Hidden Mist. Ha! More like kitty Demon of the hidden mist. He walks over to Haku, glares at her and kicks her in the side. "That's for breaking my arm you stupid girl!" He continues to kick her not noticing The rage in Naruto's eyes at his actions.

"Hey! Cut it out you tiny little Bastard!" Naruto starts stalking towards him, ignoring the protest of his sensei.

"What did you say to me you little brat." Gato responds in rage.

"You heard me." Naruto says as he continues to walk toward Gato, his anger only rising in the process.

"Get him men. Go teach him lesson.!" Gato yells at his crew of thugs and bandits.

"Aye sir!" 5 men rush towards Naruto, and in the blink of an eye they lay dead on the ground next to him.

"Kill him." Gato yelled at more of his men.

This time 10 men rush at Naruto. Once again in the blink of an eye, they're dead at his feet. He continues to stalk toward Gato.

Fear evident in his tone, he commands all 200 of his men to kill Naruto.

They all rush forward, not noticing the change of appearance to Naruto's eyes. He forms the shadow clone Jutsu and 50 Naruto's appear out of nowhere. They all began tearing through the crowd, each with only 1 kunai in hand. Leaving no men alive, they make it through the crowd of men. The clones disappear, leaving only Naruto standing in the wake off all the death.

Gato looks around at all his dead men and looks to Naruto in fear. "Please! I'll do anything you want. Give you anything you want. Money, power, anything!" He exclaims in fear.

"Anything," Naruto says in a deep demonic voice, and with an evil glint in his now red and black slitted eyes.

"Yes, anything!" Gato says, hope evident in his voice.

"Okay, What I want"

"Yes," Gato responds.

"Is your death!" In a split second, Naruto thrust his hand through Gato's chest, ripping out his heart, and crushing it in his hand.

Gato drops down off of Naruto's arm to the bridge floor dead.

Naruto's eyes return to their normal bright blue color. He glances at his team and the crowd of villagers including Inari and His mother, who must have shown up while he was on his killing spree. They all had one look in their eyes, fear. It didn't bother him though, because he was used to it.

After a few minutes, the crowd of villagers erupted in cheers, as they realized that Gato's rein over them was over. Every other person however just stared at Naruto with fear and worry.

"Are you OK Naruto." Kakashi found himself asking once again.

"I'm fine, I told you I didn't wanna talk about it." He continued walking towards the other end of the bridge.

"Naruto! What was that?! How could you do that!? What were you thinking!? Sakura Yelled as he passed her by.

He turned around and silenced her with a look of KI that told her to back off!

Sasuke was surprised, awed, and pissed off all at once. His belief that he was catching up to Naruto in terms of skill, was just smashed after witnessing the previous events.

Naruto continued to walk away, not looking at anyone. He brought up his hands into the Seal for the shadow clone jutsu. Before anyone could blink, all the dead bodies were gone and the bridge was complete. "Great, now we can go home." He started to leave, when Inari ran up to him and stopped him.

"Wait Naruto!" Demanded Inari.

"What?" Naruto responded without turning around.

"Thanks for everything you've done for my family." Inari said with a huge smile on his face.

"Of course." With that said, Naruto continued walking away.

"Sasuke, Sakura, come on, lets go." Ordered Kakashi.

"Yes Sensei." Sakura said respectfully as she begun to follow her teacher who was heading after Naruto.

"Hnn," Sasuke replied still a little put off from the whole ordeal, but followed none the less.

All right, that's it for now. I know it was a little dark, but I felt it was the best way for the fight to happen. Especially cause it shows what kind of person my version of Naruto is. Tell me what you think about the chapter, and which writing Format you like better.

Later.
