... Please read and review... I got nothing else to say today so go on and read.
Chapter Nine: Teams
"So squad seven will be Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha(Sakura starts shouting while Sasuke goes deeper into emo mode), and Kiba Inuzuka your sensei will be Hatake Kakashi report to training ground seven Saturday at six a.m." said Iruka as he watched Sasuke and Kiba leave.
"Squad eight will be Hinata Hyuga, Naruto Uzumaki (Hinata and Naruto smile at each other), and Shino Aburame your sensei will be Yuuhi Kurenai meet her on the school's roof Saturday at nine a.m." he said before Hinata and Naruto left holding each other's hand and Shino just disappeared.
"Squad nine is still active so squad ten will be Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara (mutters troublesome), and Choji Akamichi your sensei will be Sarutobi Asuma you will report to him at training ground ten at ten a.m. Saturday" he said watching the last of the graduates stand up to leave.
"Hope all of you do well especially you Naruto after last night" Iruka thought grabbing the last of the papers before walking towards the teacher's lounge.
Flashback
"Mizuki come back to Konoha and give us back the scroll you'll be forgiven" said Iruka who had a fuuma shuriken in his back.
"Iruka you're a fool with this scroll I'll be the most powerful shinobi in the land so DIE" he shouted spinning his last fuuma shuriken throwing it at the defenseless chunin.
"Earth Style: Earth Wall" echoed a voice as a wall of earth rose in front of Iruka blocking the shuriken. "Iruka may have been my sensei for just one day as well as you Mizuki-teme but I will destroy anyone that betrays their village for power" said Naruto who was standing on top of the wall.
"You think you can defeat me I'm a chunin and you're only a lowly genin" said an arrogant Mizuki.
"Then let us see what this lowly genin can do" Naruto said his hand turning into a fist before jumping down punching the earth causing it to split near Mizuki.
"T-that shouldn't be possible I'm a chunin and you're just a GENIN" shouted Mizuki trying to make a break for it. He made it near the tree line only to be knocked back by a shadow clone.
"Not so fast Mizuki" said the clone. "The fun's about to start" said the clone again forming a few seals. The clone took in a deep breath of air. "Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu" thought the clone exhaling a large fireball at the chunin who used a replacement. "Kuso" thought the clone before being dispelled by a slit throat.
"RASENGAN" shouted Naruto before plunging the sphere of pure chakra into Mizuki's back the instant the clone's throat was slit. The chunin screamed in pain as he was shot forward from the strength of the attacking slamming into a tree getting knocked unconscious. "Fuck not enough control I burned my hand" muttered Naruto wrapping some chakra sensitive bandages around his hand. "Baa-chan says I can only heal minor cuts, bruises not chakra burns this sucks" he mutters to himself as he finishes wrapping the bandages. "Iruka-sensei you okay" he asked walking to the chunin while staring at traitorous chunin.
"Ya I'm okay thanks Naruto but how did you know I was here" Iruka asked pulling the fuma shuriken out of his back.
"I felt yours and Mizuki-teme's chakra signatures flare every so often so I followed that after I had dropped... Forget I said anything" he replied turning away blushing.
Iruka noticed the blush but decided to file it away for later. "So Naruto how did you know the rasengan that's supposed to be a move created by the Yondaime" Iruka asked clearly forgetting the earlier events.
"Jiraiya of the Sannin he was the sensei of the Yondaime so he was taught it by his student" replied Naruto before grabbing Mizuki and tossing the scroll to Iruka. "Let's get back to Hokage-sama so the village can calm down the rest of the chunin searching are going nuts" Naruto said before using shunshin surprising the chunin that a genin knew a chunin level technique. Iruka placed the scroll under his foot before following Naruto.
End Flashback
"That boy will be destined for greatness though I wonder if that was really worth switching him and Kiba" Iruka thought turning his head towards the Hokage tower. "I wonder why Hokage-sama made the switch" he wondered before walked over to help a new instructor struggling with paperwork.
"N-naruto-kun" gasped Hinata as Naruto kissed the side of her neck.
"What's wrong Hina-hime it doesn't feel good?" He asked using the chibi no jutsu he learned from Jiraiya. He then began kissing her neck again causing her to let out a small moan. (There will be NO lemons got it! I got some of my friends and a few teachers... I think reading this and I ain't a damn pervert unlike most guys in my grade. Should I actually post one is when the story demands it or I get swamped with reviews saying to do it but either way I won't like it.)
"N-naruto-kun it feels good but father is going to lose it if he sees this" she says letting out another small moan as he starts sucking leaving a hickey when he stops.
"It's a good thing then that you have this baggy jacket then and that our father's were best friends so he won't kill me unless we do that" he said making the poor Hyuga blush.
"You know I'm still here" said Shino scaring the young couple making them jump away from each other.
"S-shino-kun we didn't know you were even with us" Hinata apologized.
"We are a team now so it would be best if we got to know each other though the two of you seem quite intimate with each other" he said in his monotone voice.
"Um where is it" murmured Naruto to himself looking over the different seals on his body. "Ah here it is" he said getting the other two's attention. He pushed some chakra into a small seal causing a small moth in a jar to appear. "Here Shino an apology gift I found this near Kusagakure" he said handing the jar to Shino. "Here's a small gift for your father Hinata he'll need it" Naruto said giving his girlfriend a scroll. (Take a guess what's in it cause if someone gets it correct I'll post a chapter completely devoted to Naruhinaness. On the other hand if you get it wrong I'll just post a filler chapter.) Little did he know this would be a huge mistake for him in the future.
"Hai thank you Naruto-kun" replied Hinata turning around activating her Byakugan for a moment to see the contents of the scroll making her blush before deactivating her Byakugan.
"Thank you Uzumaki-san" was all Shino said as he placed the jar into a pocket within his oversized jacket.

"Hello there my name is Kurenai Yuuhi and I'll be your jounin instructor if you pass my test" said the red eyed jounin. "I want you to tell me your likes, dislikes, hobbies, and goals" she said to the three genin in front of her.
"Ano sensei why don't you go first" said Hinata shyly still blushing slightly from what the scroll she gave her father contained.
"Okay then you already know my name so I'll skip that part. My likes are Karaoke and genjutsu. Dislikes would be perverts and people who think that a kunoichi are weaker than their shinobi counterparts. Hobbies are singing Karaoke, working on genjutsu, and keeping my friend Anko from going crazy. My dreams for the future is to become the worlds most famous genjutsu user" she said quite happily. "So why don't you go first Hinata" she said turning to the lavender eyed Hyuga girl.
"My name is Hinata Hyuga. My likes are my mother, Naruto-kun, reading, cinnamon buns, my sister, my father, cousin and gardening. Only dislikes are the Hyuga council and caged bird seal. Hobbies include flower pressing, and being with Naruto-kun. My dream is to abolish the caged bird seal and (she glances at Naruto for a moment then drops her eyes just a bit lower which was only noticed by Kurenai)" spoke Hinata not bothering to finish the last part.
"Okay you next boy with the sword" said Kurenai.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. My likes are Hinata-chan, ramen, ninjutsu, fuuinjutsu, taijutsu, kenjutsu, my friends, and my family. Dislikes traitors, Sasuke, fangirls, a certain snake, people that hate ramen, and those who treat others poorly when they don't even know them. Hobbies include being with Hinata-chan, gardening, sealing, learning jutsu's, being with my friends, and creating my own jutsu's. Dreams are to become the Hokage, marry Hinata-chan, have a family with Hinata-chan, and to surpass my family" Naruto said while holding Hinata's hand.
"Okay Shino your turn" said Kurenai.
"Name Shino Aburame. Likes bugs. Dislikes people that kill bugs. Hobbies collecting bugs. Dream is to become the strongest in my family history" Shino said almost like a robot.
"Well team I guess it's time for me to give you your genin exam test though we have to grab my lazy college first" said Kurenai before using a jutsu to transport all four of them to the memorial stone. "The test is to see if you can steal a certain book he keeps in his pocket without him noticing" she whispered to the three genin who just nodded. "Now how are you three going to get that book Kakashi may be out of it but he will notice anything too obvious" she thought moving to a higher branch.
"Do either of you have a plan on how to steal Kakashi's book" Naruto asked to his teammates getting a look of slight embarrassment and a completely blank look. "Shino-san so do you" he asked.
"Uzumaki-san I am afraid I do not have a plan" he said in that annoying Aburame monotone voice causing Naruto to sigh.
"First Shino can you just call me Naruto, Uzumaki-san is too formal for my taste. Also I got a plan but it has a low chance of working" he said getting the same blank stare from Shino. "The plan is to have Hinata-chan use her Byakugan to locate the book that Kurenai-sensei is talking about, then have you bug it, and I'll use a replacement with a book that's the appropriate size" he said getting a nod from the other two genin. "Good then we can start the plan anytime you two are ready" Naruto said pulling out a scroll labeled 'books of various shapes and sizes' on the side of it which caused to other two genin to sweat drop.
"Byakugan" muttered Hinata after a few hand seals channeling chakra to her eyes before opening it. "The book Kurenai-sensei is talking about is located in the weapons pouch on his right leg. The size of the book is four by three inches(Cover size) and about one and a half inches thick" she whispered just loud enough for Shino and Naruto to hear.
"Shino let me see the bug you are going to send to Kakashi I need to do something real quick" Naruto said as a single kikai flew out of Shino's coat. "What you two are about to see is to be kept a secret" he said getting two nods as the kikai landed on the tip of his finger. "Kyuuten Chouningan(Heavens Sealing Eye)" Naruto said placing his hand over his right eye taking it off shocking Shino and Hinata since they were staring at a glowing golden colored eye with a glowing sapphire blue pupil in the center. Naruto closed his normal left eye before concentrating on the kikai. "Chakra link seal" muttered Naruto his entire eye turning a glowing sapphire blue as a small seal formed onto the kikai. "Okay Shino we can continue" Naruto said placing his hand over his eye before taking it off showing his normal eye.
"Understood Naruto-san" replied Shino sending the kikai towards Kakashi's weapons pouch where it landed without the lazy jounins notice.
Naruto grabbed a notebook the same size that Hinata described and used the replacement jutsu to switch the two books. Naruto, Hinata, and Shino then ran towards the tree that Kurenai was in before Naruto tossed the book to the jounin then he noticed what book it was and began blushing like crazy.
"Kakashi no hentai(other words Kakashi the pervert) reading that book thought I'm not much better BUT I WROTE IT" Naruto shouted in his mind after seeing the title 'Icha Icha: The Fox Boy' with the picture of a chibi fox boy and chibi fox girl before said book landed in Kurenai's hands.
"Kakashi is going to be pissed for this but oh well" Kurenai thought as she made the hand seals for the Grand Fireball Jutsu. She threw the book into the air before she used the jutsu.
"Book sense's tingling" Kakashi thought using shunshin to appear next to the book. He grabbed it before using the replacement jutsu just avoiding being roasted.
"What how did that happen" wondered Kurenai sensing Kakashi saving his book before using the replacement jutsu. "Um that was an unexpected event but since the three of you got the book you past the test" Kurenai said after she landed in front of her three genin. "By the way Naruto I think Hokage-sama will want to talk to you" she said looking directly at the boy who was holding her only female student's hand.
"Kurenai-sensei I would like for Hinata-chan and Shino to hear this as well since we are teammates there is no use hiding anything from then" Naruto said calmly though his eyes showed that he was completely serious.
"Fine but don't blame me for the consequences Naruto" she replied with a sigh before transporting the four of them into the Hokage's office.
"Ah Kurenai-san, Naruto, Shino, Hinata what do I owe the pleasure of this visit to" asked the Hokage happily as he left his desk which was covered with paperwork.
Naruto covered his right eye before whispering something the Hokage couldn't hear. The boy took his hand off showing a mid-level Kyuuten Chouningan.
"Naruto do you want to tell your teammates something" the Hokage asked in a dead serious tone.
"Hai Hokage-sama" replied Naruto before placing his hand over his left eye. "Makai Fuuingan(Hell Sealed Eye)" mumbled Naruto taking his hand off his eyes showing a dark black-red pupil in the center of a crimson blood red eye. "Hinata-chan, Shino I am the son of the fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, Grandson of Tsunade of the Sannin, Great great Grandnephew of the second Hokage, Great great Grandson of the first Hokage, and lastly adopted younger brother of the Kyubi no Kitsune who was sealed into me by my father at birth while she was under the control of the Snake Sannin Orochimaru and the strongest of the Uchiha, Madara Uchiha" he said looking calm.
"I did not know that Yondaime-sama had a son" Shino said in his normal tone.
"Neither did I though I can understand why it was kept a secret" said Kurenai.
"As for my eyes the Kyuuten Chouningan is my father's kekkei genkai though the Makai Fuuingan was originally a Kyuuten Chouningan till Kyubi-neechan altered it to handle demonic seals and such" he said before closing both eyes to turn them back to normal.
"Naruto you sure that was a wise idea since no one even knows those kinds of seals and even if they did they wouldn't be able to use them without consequences" Sandaime Sarutobi asked not getting any reply as Naruto continued.
"The only downside to having both active at once is that they are in constant conflict with one another" he said both eyes still closed.
"Naruto-kun does that mean it damages your eyesight at all" Hinata asked getting a small shake of the head saying no.
"Until I can balance the youkai and the chakra in each eye I will only be able to keep one active during a battle" he said with a sigh. "The problem is youkai is much stronger than chakra so unless I can convert more of the youkai into chakra I won't be able to do that for quite a while" he said opening his eyes showing off their crystal blue color. "I must warn all of you should the Makai Fuuingan turn pure black and the Kyuuten Chouningan turn pure white at the same time get as far away as possible" he warned them darkly.
"Naruto-san we are comrades we will not abandon you even if you tell us to" Shino stated pushing his shades up.
"Naruto-kun you are not getting off that easily we will stick by you until the end" Hinata said before snuggling into the crook of his neck.
"Thank you Hinata-chan, Shino" Naruto said with happiness filling his voice as the two adults just watched the events in front of them.
"Team I want you to scout of Kakashi's team to evaluate their abilities and once they finish their exam to meet me at the training grounds" spoke Kurenai to her team getting three nods before they left the tower. Once the three genin had left she turned to the Hokage. "Hokage-sama what do you want me to do should the event that Naruto had spoken of occurs" she asked.
"If possible knock Naruto out hopefully that will stop his kekkei genkai's from doing anything too dangerous but if it does not work get Hinata and Shino away from him no matter what they say" Sarutobi responds. "Also keep an eye on his abilities I have a feeling that Tsunade and Jiraiya don't want to tell me something about the boy" he orders.
"Hai Hokage-sama I understand but one question should I watch out for root anbu's now the black ops and elite jounins including a few of the lower jounins know about them being active" she says.
"Hm I think that root will be taken care of now since the nine founders and captains of Fukei no Kouyou have a score to settle with them from twelve years ago" replied Sarutobi with a small grin. "Kurenai you are dismissed and if I'm right Kakashi won't finish his test till noon so after he does grab him and bring him here I don't feel like waiting three hours for him again" he says before going back to the dreaded paperwork.
Kurenai left using the shunshin no jutsu to check on her best friend.
A few hours later
"He has to be the worst sensei ever to show up late like that and one of the biggest perverts I have ever met and I know Jiraiya the perverted toad sage since that silver haired weirdo poked that Uchiha-teme's ass like that sending him flying" ranted Naruto as Hinata, Shino, and himself was near their training ground.
"That was unusual" said Shino voicing his opinion on the subject.
"Naruto-kun would you tell us how you got that sword of yours" Hinata asked as they entered their training ground before herself and Naruto sat next to each other against a tree while Shino just stood against the one next to the couple.
"I really don't remember much about it but I'll tell as much as I can" he replied grabbing his girlfriend's hand. "One of the things I remember most is being in my mindscape though it was different than usual it looked exactly like parts of the elemental countries all located in one spot. I walked around seeing ice, volcanoes, the sea, a windy valley, and a couple of storm clouds at the center.
When I got near the point where everything connected I saw a female in a rainbow like robe. The instant I stepped into the center area she opened her eyes and stared at me with a violet colored gaze. She started to walk towards me and I noticed nine colored gems imbedded into her skin.
"I think she said something about being me being ready to inherit a gift that would help in deciding the fate of the world. She told me her name and to say it after a few certain words to unlock her powers. After that I had woken up and this sword was right next to me before the Ero-sennin came into the room and dragged me out so I could get some training but I grabbed it before I lost the chance to. A few weeks after that I used it for the first time while in Rai no Kuni when we ran into a few missing nins. I will not go into detail of it's power you will have to see it for yourselves" he said before standing up and helping Hinata back up.
"If the two of you want I can show you it's sealed state" he said getting a nod from Hinata and a simple push of the glasses from Shino.
Naruto then pulled the sword from it's sheath before holding it in front of him. What Hinata and Shino saw amazed them. The blade of the sword itself was a gleaming silver that had what looked like nine red fox tails on it. Imbedded into the hilt was nine different colored gems. The guard was in the shape of a five pointed star. Other than the unusual differences from a normal katana it was the same length and shape of one. Naruto then sheathed the sword once he saw his teammates had gotten a good look at it.
"mhmhmh" muffled Kakashi through the bag he was being carried in.
"Quiet Kakashi it's your fault for being so late to meet your students and we are almost to the meeting" Kurenai said stopping for a moment to stomp on the lazy jounin through the bag. "Sorry I'm late I had to drag Kakashi-baka here so we wouldn't be too late" she said as she entered the room tossing the bag against the wall causing Kakashi to let out a loud grunt.
"Kurenai could you let him out of the bag already the meeting should have started half an hour ago" said Sarutobi rubbing his temples.
"Fine" Kurenai replied childishly before cutting the bag open with a kunai before jumping away just avoiding a punch from an angry silver haired jounin.
"I know it was you Kurenai that tried to toast my limited edition original signed copy of Icha Icha: Make out Paradise" growled Kakashi at the red eyed kunoichi who just shrugged before turning towards the Hokage while she was laughing on the inside.
"Okay so what are the results" Sarutobi asked.
"Team seven passed" Kakashi said slightly more calm since he began reading his book again.
"Team eight passed" Kurenai said quite happily thought cursing Kakashi in her mind.
"Team ten passed" said Asuma Sarutobi lazily while his hand was shaking near a pouch of cigarettes.
"So the most gifted students passed eh I guess I shouldn't be surprised" said Sarutobi before he dismissed the jounin sensei's.
"Sorry I'm late team jounin meeting" Kurenai said from behind the three genins after she used a shunshin no jutsu.
"No problem sensei I just finished telling Hinata-chan and Shino how I got my sword. That and I showed it to them you just missed it cause I just sheathed it and don't want to take it out again" replied Naruto with a grin on his face. "Hey sensei could we go to that karaoke bar you told us about now I want to try something" he said with excitement in his voice while he used the chibi no jutsu in hopes it would make her do what he asked.

"Wow Hinata-chan I didn't know you could sing like that" Naruto said before kissing his girlfriend on the cheek.
"I can say the same for you Naruto-kun" she replied doing the same thing to him.
"I must say Kurenai-sensei is quite the singer" Shino said with a very faint blush on his cheeks though it was hidden by his collar.
"Hey Shino why didn't you sing" Naruto asked getting slightly closer to the bug user.
"Aburame's do not sing" was his only reply before using the Aburame's version of the shunshin no jutsu.
Time skip
"Come in this is kitsune in position target spotted" said a voice over a radio communicator.
"This is Hime in position" said a more feminine voice.
"Beetle in position" said a stoic voice.
"Understood move in" said another voice.
"Got it" said Naruto. "Ouch dang cat why I ought a" he started shouting as the cat clawed him.
"Does the target have a red ribbon attached to it's left ear" asked Kurenai.
"Target confirmed Tora captured" came Shino's voice.
"Naruto-kun" came Hinata's voice causing silence from Naruto for a few minutes.
"Hinata-chan thank you for saving me from the demon cat" came Naruto's voice before Kurenai and Shino heard a crash.
"Shino is everything all right over there" asked Kurenai over the radio.
"Yes sensei my teammates are just kissing" came the stoic reply.
"Okay just tell them to do it on their own time we have a mission to complete" said Kurenai not waiting for the reply as she took the radio piece out of her ear.
"Oji-san we need a better mission it is obvious that our squad has the best teamwork out of the many genin teams and if we are stuck with only D-rank missions we will never be able to get any stronger" said Naruto slightly annoyed but less than he should be since he is holding Hinata's hand.
"Naruto-kun I'm afraid I have given the last C-rank mission to team seven if you want you can join them they should be leaving the east gate around noon so you have two hours if that is all right with your sensei" replied Sarutobi getting a nod from Kurenai. "Fine the four of you are to assist team seven in escorting a bridge builder by the name of Tazuna back to his home in Nami no Kuni and to protect him from bandits dismissed" he said allowing a team a year older than them into the room.
"What's this three more brats and a women now where is that lazy scarecrow" said a drunk old man causing three of the four new arrivals to become annoyed.
"Must not kill" thought Naruto his hand near his sword.
"Stupid old man saying that females are weaker than males" thought Kurenai and Hinata at the same time.
"Mhmhmh" came the muffled sounds from inside a bag being dragged by two Naruto clones.
"Let the hentai out or I'll take the two of you down" Naruto said to the clones who instantly complied. When the bag was opened the two clones were immediately killed by a kunai from Kakashi who shredded the bag.
"Tazuna-san I heard the wave country has been doing poor as of late is that true" Naruto asked as they were walking down the main road as he noticed two genjutsu covered puddles.
The group walked past the puddles before two men rose from them attacking Kurenai and Kakashi wrapping them in chains before ripping them to shreds.
"Two down" said the two men in synch before they charged the group heading towards Tazuna.
Quicker than anyone could react a giant swarm of kikai bugs flew out of Shino sleeves covering the two men before they went pop from within the bugs showing that they were clones.
"Kage Bushin" thought the two jounin and Naruto at seeing this.
"Well it looks like a few of you were ready but Shino reacted quite fast" said Kakashi along with Kurenai appearing behind the group before hearing the banshee screech.
"What the hell we just saw the two of you die" shouted the pink haired banshee.
"Replacement jutsu" said team eight, Kurenai, and Kakashi covering their ears.
"Can't she ever be quiet she is going to get herself killed at this rate though that wouldn't be a bad thing" Naruto thought as he activated his Chouningan under a genjutsu before placing a silencing seal onto the pink haired banshee.
"Thank you Naruto/Naruto-kun" thought Kurenai, Shino, and Hinata at seeing the pink haired banshee silenced.
"Tazuna would you mind telling us why you had ninja after you" Kakashi asked to the bridge builder.
"Have you heard of Gato" Tazuna replied shaking nervously seeing the blond kid's hand on the sword on his back.
"Gato as in Gato shipping industry one of the worlds richest men why" Kakashi said a bit confused.
"That is nothing more than a cover up what that man really deals with is drugs in the black market he takes over small countries cutting them off from all economic income and takes the money for himself. He is after me because me building the bridge to the mainland would stop him from taking over my country since we had to depend on boats before this that is if I can finish the bridge" spoke Tazuna who was now sober.
"Tazuna this mission is no longer a C-rank it can be around a A-rank now since those two were just chunin so we know that a jounin will come next but I will let the genin decide if they want to continue the mission or not" Kakashi said with a serious face but went back to the eye smile afterwords.
"There is no way I'm backing out I needed someone to test myself against" Naruto said with confidence in his voice while Hinata was attached to his arm just nodding showing she agreed.
"Dobe you wouldn't survive against a jounin unlike an Uchiha" said Sasuke arrogantly but the jounin caught the hidden message saying he wanted to go.
"I'll kill the jounin and win Hinata's heart then I'll kill that Uzumaki-baka that smells like a kitsune" thought Kiba. "I say we continue the mission" he shouted.
"If Sasuke-kun is going so am I" said the banshee.
Kurenai and Kakashi looked at Shino since he had yet to contribute to the conversation.
"It would not matter if I said that we do not continue the mission for I would be outvoted" calmly said Shino in his stoic voice causing Kurenai and Kakashi to just nod their heads.
"The vote is unanimous we will continue the mission" Kakashi said with the eye smile while Kurenai just sighed in the background.
"Zabuza-san" said Gozu kneeling down. "We ran into the Konoha ninjas" said Mizu. "Out of the eight ninjas there" Gozu said before he and his brother said in synch "two of them could be the one with the crest."
"Hm this should be interesting the three of us will attack this group while Haku will run back up in case we need to make a retreat" he said with anticipation.
Time skip (Ya ya I'm doing this quite a lot this chapter deal with it... Ugh I hate being sick it screws up my thinking and processing abilities)
"THAT'S-" shouted Kiba before Tazuna covered the genin's mouth with his hand.
"Quiet brat do you want Gato's men to find us why do you think I'm rowing the boat instead of using the motor" hissed the boat driver at the dog using genin.
"So how much longer till we reach land" Naruto whispered to the boat driver.
"At this pace kid I'd say another ten minutes and do me a favor toss that mutt into the ocean if he yells again" replied the boat driver causing Naruto to grin evilly.
"Can do sir" was all Naruto said before watching the Inuzuka boy waiting for the boy's mistake.
Around maybe fifteen minutes later
Naruto picked something up with his powerful hearing thanks to the Kyubi.
"Everyone duck" shouted Naruto, Kurenai, and Kakashi at the same time causing everyone to drop low to the floor while Shino grabbed the client before doing so except for Naruto who placed his hand onto his sword. Moments after the rest of the ninja hit the floor a zanbatou flew where they were until in an instant the zanbatou was flying towards the sky. A man grabbed the zanbatou by the hilt before it was out of his reach. The group looked at Naruto who was now standing where the sword just passed with his sword in his hands.
"I'm amazed kid you're the first person to deflect my sword like that and live it's too bad you have to die here" said the man through the bandages on covering the lower half of his face.
"I'm afraid not Zabuza Momochi former jounin of the hidden mist, A-ranked missing nin wanted for the attempted assignation of the third mizukage who had died three years prior to this day" Naruto said as his Chouningan activated under the genjutsu showing him a seal that he had not seen in years. "Kisei this is your doing" he thought upon seeing the seal of the darkness squad on a scroll hidden by the jounin and the water squads crest on the zanbatou before his dojutsu turned itself off. "Kakashi, Kurenai-sensei handle the demon brothers they'll be attacking any moment now and do not underestimate them from what I can tell they are much stronger than jounin" Naruto shouted to the two jounin who ordered for the remaining genin to take cover and protect the bridge builder.
"Shino, Hinata-chan you two are going to see one of the released states of my sword so hope the two of you are ready" Naruto said to his teammates.
"Released sword only members of the Fukei no Kouyou can do that is this brat one of them" Zabuza wondered as he raised his zanbatou getting ready to strike the young genin.
"Strike from the heavens Denkou Kyuhoushu(Lightning Nine Gems... I think)" Naruto said as the yellow gem on the hilt began glowing before the rest started to glow yellow till it was making his hand look like a ball of lightning. The yellow light covered the katana before it shattered like glass revealing a five bladed katana. "Zabuza use your swords released state I know you have the power to use it you have the crest of water and darkness on you" Naruto said just loud enough for only Zabuza to hear.
"Brat you don't get it do you I released my sword before this whole battle I knew I would find a worthy opponent the great thing is it's released state looks exactly like it's sealed one" Zabuza said with a gleam in his eye. "Now let me show you just how strong my zanpakuto is Shikon Kuriivuxa" he said as his sword began to howl then started growing fangs along the blade. "Cleave" he commanded throwing the giant zanbatou turning it into a killer disk with fangs.
"Oh shit" Naruto realized seeing the destructive attack spinning towards him. "Lightning Release: Slicing Thunder" Naruto said as his zanpakuto began to glow. He swung his sword down just before the attack hit causing a booming sound to shatter the quiet for the genin near by. The sword kept spinning against his sword shattering one of the five blades before it began to slow down just barely.
"This kid blocked my attack and all he lost was one of the five blades on his zanpakuto the only one's to deflect it is the higher seats and the captains" Zabuza thought impressed that a child blocked his attack.
"Damn this it's beginning to overpower my sword er zanpakuto uh whatever already" Naruto thought as the sword began pushing him back his feet leaving marks in the ground."Lightning Release: Charge, Lightning Release: Blade of Thunder" he said his sword glowing brighter before it turned into pure lightning chakra.
"I see this kid doesn't know about reiatsu so his attacks aren't as strong as they could be" Zabuza realized seeing this.
"Kisei gave me nine crest and told me to use it if someone used a sword similar to my own" Naruto thought before he slammed Zabuza's sword into the ground. He slipped his hand into a pocket before slamming the crest onto his sword making Zabuza's eyes to widen. "Dark Thunder Blade" he shouted as his zanpakuto turned black as night crackling with dark energies.
"Crap" Zabuza thought before using shunpo to grab his sword and get away before it was shattered. "That was the crest Kisei-taichou talked about but the crest that everyone else has never had that power what in hell is going on" Zabuza wondered as he constantly dodged swings. "Shit what is happening this kid is getting faster with each swing it is only a matter of time before he gets me" realized Zabuza barely blocking the dangerous swings from Naruto's zanpakuto.
"HAKU GRAB THE DEMON BROTHERS AND RETREAT THE MISSION WILL FAIL OTHERWISE" Zabuza shouted at the top of his lungs before using his strongest attack which involved the fangs breaking off the sword surrounding the enemy in a cage. "Kid I hope you survive this attack cause I'd like to fight you once again one day and don't worry the bridge builder will be safe from here on" he said before vanishing using the shunpo.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Vortex Jutsu" Naruto said slamming the blades into the earth surrounding his body with a small vortex of lightning chakra shredding the fangs to pieces. He heard a noise below him before getting pierced through the stomach by the single fang he had missed shattering his jutsu and resealing his zanpakuto before he fell to the ground unconscious.
"Naruto-kun" Hinata shouted dashing from her spot to her fallen boyfriend.
"The demon brothers where are they" Shino said in his usual voice with the client and team seven behind them.
"A masked kid came in and took them before we could finish them off" Kakashi said looking towards their unconscious teammate. "Kurenai get some disinfectants and a roll of bandages" he ordered before moving to the boy.
"Here Kakashi" she said handing the items to the one eyed jounin while she consoled the boy's girlfriend assuring her that he would be just fine.
"Can someone tell me what happened this doesn't look like it was done with that zanbatou of Zabuza's and I doubt that there is a suiton jutsu that could do something like this" Kakashi asked while treating the wound.
"I can fill you into that Kakashi-sensei" Shino said. "After Naruto had you and Kurenai-sensei take on the demon brothers he used a special ability of his sword with Zabuza doing the same. Naruto used a raiton jutsu with no hand seals which I suspect is thanks to his sword to block an attack from Zabuza throwing his sword. Naruto then used two more lightning jutsu's before slamming Zabuza's sword into the ground. After that Naruto had placed something onto his sword before it turned black. He had begun pushing Zabuza back until Zabuza sounded the retreat using a final attack to distract Naruto while doing so. Naruto destroyed all but one of the projectiles which is imbedded into that tree over there" Shino said surprising everyone there as he looked at the tree that was behind Naruto when he got pierced.
The two jounins looked at the tree to see a fang like object that had begun to fade. Before they could seal away the fang into a scroll it faded completely into nothing.
Heh I'm beginning to question my own writing abilities for this story since the views for most of the chapters as of late are under a hundred. Being sick is the worst fate for a writer it's impossible to think of anything while you are sneezing and coughing constantly. Any ways what will the consequences be of Zabuza, Haku, and the demon brothers abandoning killing the bridge builder bring. Hope I can get the next chapter up soon same goes for my other stories so cya everyone.
