I do not own the anime/manga Naruto
Tazuna's House
Naruto woke up from his bed looking around, and yawned while fluttering his tail. He quickly brushed his teeth, and saw the clock on the wall. His eyes widen when he realized that he had overslept and quickly finished brushing his teeth. He raced to the kitchen where he saw Tsunami washing the dishes until she turned around and saw Naruto racing towards the door, "Wait Naruto!"
Naruto stopped dead in his track looking at Tsunami who put down a plate of food for him, "You forgot to eat. Even ninjas have to eat too you know", said Tsunami in a motherly tone.
"Thank you Tsunami-chan", said Naruto already halfway through his breakfast. Naruto quickly finished his breakfast when Inari came down and Naruto ruffled his hair, "See you later squirt!"
Naruto raced outside the door not realizing what he said. Inari was just standing there with his mother also staring the door after hearing what Naruto said.
Outside
Naruto jumped treetop to treetop until he smelled something foul in the air. He looked down and saw something brown in a large red puddle. Naruto landed to see what the foul stench was, and what he saw shocked him. There on the ground was a boar that had looked like it had gone through one of Naruto's torture beatings when he was young with cut marks made by a sword, and bruises all around the poor, dead creature. Naruto looked at his surroundings and found that there were sword marks on the trees that lead directly to Tazuna's house. Naruto's eyes widen realizing that Tsunami and Inari were in trouble.
Tazuna's House
Inari finished his breakfast and was upstairs looking at the photograph of his once, and only father figure. His thoughts were disturbed when he heard rustling downstairs. Inari went downstairs when he saw his mom tied up with two large men with swords holding the rope.
"MOM!"
"INARI! RUN!"
"So the girl has a brat huh. Lucky for you Gato only told us to get Tazuna's daughter and not you pipsqueak", said first of the swordsmen pushing Inari to the ground. The two swordsmen forced Tsunami outside the back of Tazuna's house where a dock was located with a small boat that could fit three people when one of them stopped, "Hey we don't have to report to Gato for quite a while, so why don't we have some 'fun' with this broad", said the second swordsman.
"Why not, she's quite the looker", said the first with an evil smirk on his face. Both men slowly crept up to Tsunami who was quaking in fear when suddenly a large rock hit the back of first of the swordsmen, "LEAVE MY MOTHER ALONE!" yelled Inari, but his mind kept saying, 'What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?'
"So the little brat wants to be a hero. Looks like I'll have to cut him to pieces."
"Harm him and I'll cut my own tongue until I bleed to death!" yelled Tsunami.
"Damn, we need her alive so we can kill Tazuna."
"Forget the old geezer! This little shrimp hit me with a rock and now he's gonna pay!", said the first swordsman.
He unsheathed his sword and charged at Inari. Inari couldn't move, paralyzed with fear that he was going to die, "Inari run!" said Tsunami praying that he would move. The swordsman struck Inari only to find a cut logged where Inari was standing. "What?"
"Hey, the gay-looking freak and his bed partner, let go of Tsunami!" said Naruto standing at the edge of the dock releasing a large killer intent.
"What you'd say punk?" said the second swordsman.
"Oh so now you're deaf and gay. Is the other idiot blind because from where I'm standing it looks like he isn't even using the right tool to cut a log", said Naruto.
"That's it you just sealed your fate kid!" said the second swordsman charging Naruto only to be pushed back by Naruto punching him in the gut.
"Let's show this kid why we're Gato's personal bodyguards!" said the first swordsman. Both swordsman charged Naruto at the same time as Naruto looked at them calmly.
"Geez you two have really bad aim", said Naruto dodging slashes from the swordsmen without effort and back flip kicking both swordsmen on their chin.
Pant, pant "We don't need some snot nosed punk telling us how to fight! We're master swordsmen!" said the second swordsman as they both charged Naruto again.
"Really? Then you forgot the first rule of combat: NEVER UNDERESTIMATE YOU OPPONENT! SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" said Naruto as two Shadow Clones appeared next to the original Naruto.
Naruto dispersed his cloak taking out Spark with his right hand and charged the two swordsmen at high speed swinging is blade in horizontal arch to his left and right as he appeared between the two swordsmen standing several inches apart from them with his right hand outstretched in Spark's handle pointing to his right side, his left hand clutching Spark's sheath, his right leg bended putting all his weight on it, and his left leg outstretched behind him with both his feet planted on the floor, as both swordsmen had a shocked look on their face.
"Some 'master swordsmen'. Too easy" Snap
Naruto slowly putting Spark back on its sheath, raised his right hand snapping his finger. The two swords of the swordsmen broke near the hilt only leaving the handle intact, and every facial hair on their faces were shredded leaving two bald swordsmen with no eyebrows, mustache, or beard. The two clones charged the swordsmen beating them mercilessly when a third clone appeared with Inari, "You did good Inari, I'm proud of you. You finally stood up for what you believed in, and that is what saved your mother", said Naruto ruffling Inari's hair again making Inari giggle.
The Shadow Clones tied up the two swordsmen with the same rope they tied Tsunami. The swordsmen now had two black eyes with swollen cheeks showing that some of their teeth fell off with multiple bumps on their heads while still in a daze.
"Thank you Naruto-niisan", said Inari making Naruto go wide-eyed at what he heard.
"Naruto, please be careful out there, and come back safely", said Tsunami hugging Naruto with his brain still baffled at what was happening.
"No matter where you go, you will always have a family here", said Tsunami as Naruto couldn't stop shaking his hands and hesitantly hugged Tsunami, "T-Thank y-you T-Tsunami-chan", stuttered Naruto.
"Please Naruto, call me 'mother'", said Tsunami.
'So is this what a mother's love feels like? It's so warm', thought Naruto with tears in his eyes hugging Tsunami even closer.
On the Bridge
Sasuke was trapped in Haku's Jutsu as he tried to find a way out. He charged for one of the gaps between the mirrors only to be stopped by Haku appearing behind the mirror and kicking him back inside the dome structure.
"Okay so much for that idea", muttered Sasuke.
'Wait, these are mirrors made of ice, and what better way to melt ice with a little fire', thought Sasuke performing hand signs, "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" yelled Sasuke as blew a giant fireball at some of the ice mirrors, but didn't melt at all. The edges of the mirror melted a little, but instantly regenerated.
"These mirrors may be made out of ice, but they are as strong as steel and can easily generate with the moisture in the air", said Haku.
"Then all I need to do is spice it up with a little demonic chakra", said Sasuke as black chakra surrounded him slightly melting the edges of the mirror, "Wolf Style: Lightning Fang!"
A large electrical ball shot out of Sasuke's sword as the attack met the ice mirror head on making the ice mirror shatter.
"Now's my chance!" said Sasuke running towards the large gap when the water from the melted mirror once again regenerated back into an ice mirror.
"That's impossible! I melted that mirror!" said Sasuke stopping in his track.
"I told you, my mirrors could regenerate thanks to the moisture in the air", said Haku.
'So the only possible way to beat this Jutsu is to destroy the majority the mirrors as far as I can tell. Damn, because I'm still not use to using my demonic chakra, I'm practically worn out. All I can do is another Lightning Fang by itself, but that would leave me vulnerable, or I can do Shadow Clones, but that won't help me much here. To top it all off, I can't smell her with all the moisture in this fog', thought Sasuke.
"Now it's my turn", said Haku as each image took out some Senbon Needles throwing it at Sasuke as each needle hit him in different parts of his body making Sasuke scream.
Outside Ice Dome
"What is that thing?" asked Kakashi.
"That is Haku's special ability, and it's a bloodline so you can't copy it", smirked Zabuza.
Kakashi charged towards the dome-like structure, but was blocked by Zabuza, "Like you said, 'Did you forget that I'M your opponent' eh Kakashi? Hidden Mist Jutsu", said Zabuza as he disappeared into the dense fog.
"You should feel honored Zabuza, not many enemy ninja gets to see my Sharingan twice in this lifetime", said Kakashi pulling up his headband revealing his Sharingan.
"Heh, That puny trick again? Be more original Kakashi, I already figured out your trick. You use a piercing eye, and a hypnotic eye: the piercing eye copies and predicts movement before the user can even make it, and the Hypnotic eye hypnotizes the enemy thinking you can see into the future, and allows you to make the enemy believe that it was their original thoughts just by looking at them in the eye", said Zabuza throwing several shuriken at Kakashi.
"So you think this little fog can help you conceal yourself then you're wrong", said Kakashi.
"Ha, Ha, Ha! You forget Kakashi I'm the master of the Silent Killing technique! I don't need my eyes, just my hearing", said Zabuza appearing with his eyes close swinging his Zanbato downwards towards Kakashi.
'Damn, I forgot about that, and with all this water he can hear my location', thought Kakashi. Zabuza heard where Kakashi landed from the splash of the puddle under him and charged again raising his Zanbato striking at Kakashi again.
Meizu launched himself again at Kiba only to be kicked by Akamaru in his 'human' form. Kiba took out a smoke pellet and smashed it to the ground covering the surrounding area with a little smoke screen. "Ha! You think a little smoke is going to stop me? I trained with Zabuza in reduced visual environments so you're going to have to do better than that", said Meizu grabbing Kiba's oncoming leg with his regular hand, and swung him into Akamaru knocking them back as Akamaru transformed back to his dog form. Meizu was standing their panting due to fatigue kicking in from the constant attack of the Kiba and Akamaru.
Shino and Gozu were clashing bug spike with mechanical claw. Both boys landed down until Gozu's vision started to get blurry and rested on one knee, "W-What's happening to me?"
"It took me a while, but I finally planted some of my bugs on your hair since you kept checking yourself with every strike, but you never checked you hair since it's on top of your head so I waited for the perfect opportunity. After they were planted, all I had to do was make you waist chakra, and let my bugs eat your chakra at the same time until fatigue kicked in to slow you down", said Shino kneeling down, "However, it also took a lot of chakra out of me."
"Yeah, facing a Chunin can do that to a Genin", said Gozu.
"You seem nicer than your brother", panted Shino.
"It's a twin thing, one born bad, one born good, blah, blah, blah", said Gozu earning a small chuckle from Shino.
Sakura, Kurenai, Kira, and Hinata were standing their guarding Tazuna, "This isn't looking good. Shino and Kiba tired out the Demon Brothers, but Kakashi is having a hard time with Zabuza for figuring out the Sharingan, and Sasuke is trapped within some ice fortress", said Kira.
"Hinata, since your arrows aren't good in a situation like this, you can use the Byakugan to look all around and guard Tazuna. Sakura can help you with her Genjutsu. Kira, since your affinity is fire, you can help Sasuke escape that Jutsu, and I'll go help Kakashi", said Kurenai.
"Right", responded the girls as Kira left towards where Sasuke was, and Kurenai went to help Kakashi summoning her rose dagger and shield.
Inside Ice Dome
Kira appeared next to Sasuke as Haku unleashed another barrage of Senbon Needles just as Kira activated her Ryugan making several ice mirrors appear surrounding them, "How did you do that?" said Haku.
"Unlike Sasuke's bloodline, my mate's bloodline that I share can copy another person's bloodline", said Kira, "Sasuke, I don't know how much time I have until these mirrors of mine break because I can only copy other bloodline for a short period of time. I need to know what you learned", whispered Kira.
"The only thing I know is either those are clones attacking in every direction, or somehow she's throwing them by herself. Also the mirrors can regenerate with the moisture in the air so our best bet is taking half or more of them out at the same time. I already use a great deal of my demonic chakra so I'm a little bit exhausted. You can forget about sniffing her out, the moisture from the fog hides her scent", whispered Sasuke.
"Damn, I can't radiate that much demonic chakra either since Naruto-kun doesn't have that much control over it."
"So what now?"
Kira looked around and noticed the slightly melted edges of the mirrors guessing that it was Sasuke's doing using his demonic chakra.
"Wait until the mirrors crack, then I'll ambush by unleashing as much of my demonic chakra to melt these mirrors", whispered Kira.
"Even if you did copy it, I can see that your technique isn't perfect meaning that I can easily break it", said Haku unleashing another barrage of needles at the two Leaf ninja as the mirrors closed in on each other closing the gap between them protecting Kira and Sasuke. Once Haku finished her attack, she saw some of the mirrors starting to crack. Haku unleashed another barrage of needles cracking the mirror even further, but didn't stop her attack until the mirrors finally broke.
Kira unleashed her demonic chakra as she was consumed by a swirling red chakra around her with her pupils silted, and her canines grew. Haku gasped at what she saw, and quickly launched a barrage of needles hitting Kira and Sasuke in every direction. Kira didn't let up on her demonic chakra as she charged one of the mirrors. Just as Kira was about to make contact, Haku appeared behind her hitting her with a Senbon Needle in one of Kira's pressure points near the spine knocking Kira down.
Grunt "Should've seen that coming!" said Kira pounding the floor.
Needles started pouring down on them causing Kira and Sasuke to cover their faces with their arms when a small drop of water from the mirror on top of the dome fell. Sasuke slightly opened his eyes when he saw a small water droplet, but he saw it shift from left to right in a second. Sasuke's eyes widen at what he saw, and decided to test his theory, 'SHARINGAN!' mentally yelled Sasuke with his eyes turning red with two black Tomoe in each eye.
"Kira can you still perform Shadow Clones?"
"Yes why?"
"I have an idea, but I'm going to need our Shadow Clones help to test my theory. Also, activate your bloodline, it could help me out", whispered Sasuke.
"Alright, Ryugan!"
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" yelled both Sasuke and Kira. Several Shadow Clones appeared each charging a mirror as Sasuke kicked up some water, "Useless effort", said Haku separating from her mirror launching herself at the Shadow Clones dispersing them, but Kira and Sasuke looked at the water Sasuke kicked up and saw how the water reacted.
"What incredible speed. I don't think I can get a reaction time", said Kira.
"Me neither", said Sasuke.
Outside Ice Dome
Kakashi and Kurenai each attacked Zabuza as kunai, dagger, and Zanbato clashed into each other parrying attacks and small flashes of light in forms of arcs appeared in the dense fog. "Heh, the woman's team is exhausted, and your boy and girl aren't going to last much longer with Haku, Kakashi", said Zabuza.
"Don't underestimate my team Zabuza. Each of them have exceptional skills that complement each other: Kira with her cunning can interpret a situation in a flash and instantly find a weakness in any attack", said Kakashi swinging his kunai at Zabuza countering with his Zanbato. Kakashi dropped to the floor sweep kicking Zabuza only to make Zabuza jump as Kurenai appeared behind him swinging her dagger hitting Zabuza as he disperse into a puddle.
Forest
A set of footsteps where heard jumping from treetop to treetop as a blur was rapidly approaching towards the location of the bridge
Bridge
Kakashi charged forward locking blades, "Hinata is the heiress of the Hyuga Clan and wielder of the Byakugan which allows her to see all around with good defensive close range strategies and techniques, and now with her bow she can hit long-range targets", said Kakashi. Zabuza broke the contact swinging his Zanbato downward forcing Kakashi to dodge while Zabuza threw a kunai being deflected by Kurenai with her shield as Kakashi leaped into the air pulling back his right hand, and thrust forward striking Zabuza's heart who dispersed into a puddle when another Zabuza appeared swinging his Zanbato in a horizontal arch cutting Kakashi in half by the waist also dispersed into a puddle of water.
Forest
The set of footsteps landed on the forest floor where a path cutting through the forest was located leading directly to the bridge as the blur gained speed.
Bridge
"Sasuke is heir to the clan, with the exception of myself, who are real wielders of the Sharingan, the Uchiha Clan, an expert in hand-to-hand combat and now basic Kenjutsu unique only to him", said Kakashi appearing behind Zabuza. Zabuza threw his Zanbato at Kakashi slicing him vertically in half as he once again dispersed into a puddle of water. Kurenai appeared in front of Zabuza performing a high jump kick making contact with Zabuza's neck sending Zabuza flying. "And of course let's not forget the heir to the Namikaze Clan, and wielder of the Ryugan…", said Kakashi appearing next to Kurenai.
The footsteps reached the edge of the bridge running at high speed until it jumped high into the air, "Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, the number one most unpredictable ninja!" yelled Naruto in mid air sending a barrage of shuriken at Zabuza that he quickly countered by swinging his Zanbato. Kakashi jumped high into the air as well grabbing Naruto's arm, "Sasuke and Kira are inside that dome. Help them out!"
"No problem Kakashi-sensei!" said Naruto. Kakashi thrust his arm forward propelling Naruto straight to the dome. Naruto grabbed Spark with both his hands pulling back the sword over his shoulder with the blade glowing brightly. Naruto thrust the sword forward concentrating all of the swords power to the tip creating a strong electrical attack shattering a mirror in front of him, flipped in mid air landing in a crouching position in front of Sasuke and Kira.
"Naruto-kun!"
"Took you long enough", grunted Sasuke.
"Sorry I'm late, but I'm here to help", said Naruto looking at Kira and Sasuke who both looked like large pincushions.
"How can you help if you're trapped with them?" said Haku.
"Naruto-kun, this girl can travel at unimaginable speed. We've yet to establish a reaction time, and the only possible solution we can come up with is destroying all the mirrors at once", said Kira.
"I can help with that, Shadow Clone Jutsu!" said Naruto. a large number of clones appeared charging the mirrors. Haku quickly disposed of the clones while the three Leaf ninjas observed with their bloodlines activated.
"I've got an idea of a reaction time. Now that we know it's her traveling at high speed, maybe we can cover you Naruto", said Sasuke.
"Use your demonic chakra to melt the ice", advised Kira.
Naruto nodded his head and started pumping his own demonic chakra into his inner coil. Red chakra started forming around Naruto as his features became feral: his canines grew, his silver hair became wilder, his whisker marks were wider and darker, and his eyes became red with silted pupils. Red chakra continued to swirl around Naruto forming the shape of an evil demonic fox making Sasuke and Kira worry, 'Something doesn't feel right, I feel like I want to murder everyone in sight. Okay just calm down and relax', thought Naruto trying to maintain his sanity.
Naruto closed his eyes trying to relax until his red chakra was replaced with a silver colored chakra replacing the demonic fox with a silver fox showing elegance with a calm expression on its face. Naruto opened his eyes revealing his cerulean blue eyes again only with silted pupils.
Naruto charged at the mirrors as Haku separated herself from her mirror again only this time Sasuke and Kira were prepared for her.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" yelled Sasuke sending out a fireball that Haku dodged by flipping horizontally in mid air incinerating her sleeve a little bit, 'What? He predicted where I was?'. Kira threw a barrage of shuriken and kunai predicting where she would be judging by the smoke of her shirt forcing Haku to parry with the needle she had in her hand.
Naruto charged his demonic chakra at full power shattering half the mirrors of the dome, 'No! I was a second too late!' thought Haku grabbing Naruto's cloak as the entire dome shattered to pieces. Kira and Sasuke each held a kunai against Haku's throat, "Sorry, but my mission is to protect Tazuna", said Sasuke making Naruto confuse.
"Long story short: Sasuke and Sakura served her yesterday, she's think their cute and she's bisexual", said Kira.
"You forget about the part when I kill my brothers for that spill", said Haku clenching her fist, "It's a shame really, maybe in a different time we could have been lovers", said Haku to Sasuke in a depressed voice.
Sniff "No wonder I couldn't pick up your scent when you were close, you smell like morning dew making it easy to hide your scent with the moisture in the air", said Sasuke making Haku blush.
Kurenai and Kakashi dodged another blow from Zabuza when Zabuza charged again cutting Kakashi in his hand with a kunai spraying him with Kakashi's blood, and jumped back hiding in the fog. Kakashi decided he had enough and took out a scroll grabbing some blood from his cut hand, performing hand seals, "Summoning Earth Style: Fang Pursuit Jutsu!"
Kakashi slammed the scroll down with symbols being imbedded on the ground. Zabuza was standing there when a dog popped out of the ground aiming for his leg. Zabuza moved his leg, only for a second dog biting his other leg, and other dogs popped out of the ground holding Zabuza in place with a giant bulldog biting his neck behind him.
Kakashi emerged from the fog with Kurenai next to him, "What's the meaning of this?" yelled Zabuza.
"Since you cut me, and had a great deal of my blood on you, I had my dogs track you down with the scent of my own blood. You see, I know that the smell from the moisture of the fog can block a canine's scent, unless their close by. I sent my dogs in different directions until one of them picked up the scent, and then alert the others. Now then Zabuza you'll die here", said Kakashi performing three hand signs and clutching his right wrist as electricity started surrounding Kakashi concentrating into his right hand.
'His chakra is so strong its visible! He holds it in his hands', thought Zabuza.
"I won't allow you to kill Tazuna, now you'll die by my own original technique! LIGHTNING BLADE!" yelled Kakashi as the swirling electricity intensified.
