And also I use the similarity then the Clannad anime, but it's a cool anime. And sad, romance, fantasy, and i kinda like Tomoya proposal Nagisa, but I will do the same.
(Story Start)
==At Noon==
When Naruto returned to the house from his training with his new weapon, he was able to somewhat compose himself, but everyone all wondered where that big grin came from, Sakura especially (who, for some strange reason felt like hitting someone). Once gathered, Team 7 finally sat down for mission brief and planned for tomorrow at the dinner table.
"Hatake-san."
"Hmm."
"One of us should stay here. I don't like leaving the others without someone watching. Gatou's too underhanded to just leave Tazuna's family alone."
"What are you thinking, Naru-kun?" Sakura asked.
"A Moku Bunshin (Wood Clone) goes with you guys. I wait here in case anyone shows up. If no one does, I'll leave a Kage Bunshin here, and I'll come join the fight." 'And also some summons as well to do the first time in patrol'
Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke agreed it was a sound plan. Kushina and Hitomi, though, but they looked worried. "Are you sure you will be alright? What if Gatou has another ninja like Zabuza on his payroll and he sends them after you?" Sakura said.
"Sakura's right, Nii-san. I don't know what will happen to you?" Hitomi suggest with worried expression.
"Hitomi-san, this is what we trained for this whole week for. We can't show fear. Remember what Zangetsu-Jiji taught us." As the flashback as Naruto and Sakura went back in Tazuna's house and also as Zangetsu told them and Team 7 a advised.
"Cast off your fear! Look forward! Go forward! Never stand still. Retreat and you will age. Hesitate and you will die." Zangetsu advised.
"Remember what he told us, live by those words. It's all that you need to be a shinobi," Naruto said in a serious emotionless tone.
Sakura smiled. Now this was her fiance she knows. Even Sasuke and Sayuri liked this side of Naruto more and more. The lavender-rosette, Kushina surprised of Naruto words compared with leadership and as Zangetsu is wised man, meanwhile, Hitomi took a deep breath and steeled herself. Naruto was right. They had to do this. If there were more ninja from Gatou, they had to fight them, no matter what. But deep down, she only prayed her gut feeling was wrong.
==Next Morning...==
Sitting at the dining room table, Naruto read a book beside Tsunami and a very quiet Inari. Ever since he came back yesterday morning, the boy has been silent, as if he was trying to think of something to say to Naruto. The sunset-blond could also tell that Tsunami, though keeping her spirits up, was worried.
"It will be okay Tsunami-san. Nii-san is there, and I have several clones guarding the place."
"Sorry, Naruto-kun. I don't doubt any of you. I just can't help it," she murmured as she smiled sadly.
He smirked, but then his head shot to the side, a scowl rapidly appearing on his face. Standing up from the table, he laid the book down. Naruto and Tsunami looked at each other, and Naruto nodded his head to her inquiring eyes. Walking for the door, he mentally prepared for what he knew would happen.
"Be careful, Nii-san!" Inari finally yelled out. 'And thank you...for everything.'
Turning his head, the blond smirked and turned to leave with a 3 words on his mind.
'It can't be!'
==Outside of Tazuna's House==
'So Sakura-Chan was right. That scum bag did have another ninja...'
Standing a few feet from the house, a light fog covered the village. Keeping at least six Kage Bushin in the trees and roof, Naruto had a good grasp of the perimeter. So when one dispelled not far from the house, he knew an enemy was coming.
"I must say, you're not who I expected," a male voice spoke in the fog.
Naruto could swear he had heard that voice before. Appearing not far in front of him was a tall man is sleeveless jumpsuit, and the moment Naruto saw the man's face, he growled. The shoulder-length green hair, the violet eyes, that haughty smirk on his face – oh yes, Naruto knew him rather well. The umbrella attached to his back and Ame Hitai-ate on his head mean nothing at the moment. A wolf in sheep's clothing was still a wolf in the end.
"Aoi Rokusho..."
"My my. When was the last time I saw you Naruto?" Aoi spoke in an arrogant tone.
"Damn traitor," Naruto growled out.
"Oh? I prefer to think of myself as a man who sees an opportunity and takes it."
"Takes it?! You stole the Nidaime's Raijin-Ken (Sword of the Thunder God) then turned on us!"
Aoi only chuckled and swept a hand through his hair. "As I said, Naruto, it was an opportunity - just like today. Once Kakashi and Zabuza are done playing around, I'll swoop in for the rest and take my share of the spoils."
That only made the blond growl louder. Their eyes locked on to one another, one with rage, and the other with arrogance. Taking a deep breath, Naruto focused himself, and a small smirk appeared on the boy's face.
"That won't be the case Aoi."
"Huh?"
Naruto unseal his blade with a sheath form and grab his Zanpaktou on the handle as the unwrapped around the blade. Aoi only raised an eyebrow at first but then whistled upon seeing the Zangetsu. The former Konoha Jonin saw neither fear nor hesitation in the blond Genin, only calm rage with strong determination. Secretly, Aoi was impressed.
Naruto gripped the hilt of Zangetsu tighter and stood in a ready position to strike.
"I will enjoy taking off your head, and when I'm done, I'll piss on your ashes before I take the Raijin-Ken back home."
Aoi smirked. "Will you now? Well then, let's see if you can actually back that up, NARUTO!"
==Four years ago...==
Walking in the Streets in Konoha, Naruto went through his daily walk for a break from the flower Shop or training. Since he took the job, an eight year old Naruto read a book silently from the book store he went. Stopping what he is doing, as the adopted parents looks over at his adopted son.
'I am so glad at least you fond of my younger self. If she haven't met Sasuke when I met him? But since that stupid Yamanaka Kinjutsu that almost damage my brain. And I'm so glad I became a Kunoichi and the man I love.' Sakura said in glad.
Naruto replied over at his adopted mother. 'Yeah, It's just I got the person I like when comes lover expression kaa-san. At least I got many people to notice me. Well, somewhat, anyway. They got my image, after all.'
'You know there are some that do love you, sochi,' Sakura said warmly.
The sunset-blond smiled as the he went back into his walking for their musings conversation. Even the Anbu hidden in the rooftops preferred this Naruto. While they still drove his crazy with beating, (something He hates for stalking did religiously and also he'll beat everyone who followed him for info about his life.), the calm stoic orange-highlight blond was a bright sight. A bond on someone brought everyone out of their thoughts. And suddenly Naruto bump on someone.
"Oh! I'm sorry. I don't know watch were I'm going." He apologized.
"That's okay, there's no hard done." A man replied.
Naruto gave quick look at the man, with a stern voice, he gave the Jounin look closely. As his adopted father told him that he was the Traitor of Konoha who stealing the Raijin-kin, as the green-haired man wearing a standard Konoha Jounin uniform standing in. Noticing Naruto, that he describe that the rumor he heard are true and that was 'black savior' (Kuro Kyūseishu) himself of what he heard and he gave a small wave, since he was not one of the few that did ignore the boy well. The blond smirked and gave a two finger salute.
"I take you must be Naruto Kurosaki. At least your acting like yourself," Aoi sighed in exasperation.
"Easy to you to say, mister..," the blond said dryly.
"It's Aoi, Naruto-san," man name Aoi said.
"Pleasure to meet you? I heard that the Chunin Exams coming up?" Naruto said.
"Yes and the maintain I better report!"
"Oh! So you just got back on the mission, right?"
Aoi nodded. "Hmmph That's right, I was send to the Land of Tea."
"Well?"
"I got my Mission complete."
"So what did you find in the land of Tea?" Naruto asked in his business tone.
Aoi sighed. "It was a wild damn goose chase. The rogues of 'supposed' ninja turned out to be witless thugs with over inflated egos. They weren't even really that skilled, save their boss who was a former samurai."
"Any civilian's harmed by these fools?"
Aoi looked down. "Some people tried to fight them before I got there. Four were wounded, two dead. And I won't mention about what they did to some of the women."
Naruto's eyes narrowed with rage. "And they dare call themselves shinobi..."
"Don't be naïve, Naruto. There are many shinobi parts of the Hidden Villages who have done such things too," Aoi commented.
"Then what the hell is to gain by doing that?!"
The adult sighed. "Not all see the world like we do. They follow and choose the easy path of corruption, and power can corrupt even the most compassionate of people."
"These fools think themselves above the code of shinobi, so they follow their hollow logic. In the end, all that awaits them is a hunter Nin's sword," Aoi finished.
Naruto was silent for a moment. "When I become a shinobi, I will make sure any traitor I come across gets what's coming to them."
Aoi nodded in agreement. "Well I better go! Hope we see you some time to talk about."
"Yeah you too." Naruto replied.
With that Aoi heading separated straight to the Hokage's Tower to report in and while Naruto walking someplace to eat.
==Present - At the Unfinished Bridge==
"This fog... It's not a natural one," Kakashi whispered.
"That's right, Kakashi... there's no doubt about it," Kushina said.
When Team 7 plus Sakura arrived at the bridge, they found themselves engulfed by a dense fog that seemed to stretch on for miles. Kakashi, Kushina and Naruto's wood clone took leads while Sasuke with his reishi bow, Sayuri with her Yagyumaru, Hitomi with her katana (AN: Reveal Info is below),and Sakura stood in defensive stances around Tazuna, surveying what they could of the area for any threat. They did not have say it; their sensei knew the Genin were just as tense. The fog around them felt almost suffocating, as if it was another enemy itself. Kakashi, Kushina and Naruto narrowed their eyes upon hearing a familiar chuckle.
"Hello Kakashi and Kushina."
The fog slightly parted, revealing Zabuza and the hunter Nin. Near them were all the bridge workers, and Tazuna paled at seeing everyone knocked out. The swordsman eyed his prey but noticed one odd change right off the bat. Zabuza's eyes narrowed sharply when he saw who he thought was the sunset-blond runt from last time. The clone only stared calmly with a faint smirk gracing his lips. 'Boss is gonna love the look on this bastard's face when I dispel later on.'
"So, it's good to see you shrimp?"
"Has sword fixed or you buy another one," Naruto's clone replied in mocking expression, not missing a beat.
It was not only that. Zabuza growl for Naruto mocking him for breaking his sword, could feel there was much more to the blond than before, but since he repaired his sword by the ability to absorbs blood from the victims and use a substitute blood from creatures or anything. But who changes that fast in only a week's time?
Meanwhile behind the mask, Haku bit his lip slightly. He knew he would have to fight, but a part of his was screaming not to. More specifically, He had her eyes completely locked on to Naruto and no one else. He did not want to fight him. But to complete Zabuza's dream, her heart couldn't choose.
"Haku."
"Yes Zabuza-Sama," she said in a deeper tone voice.
The Naruto clone narrowed his eyes. He did not hear the name, but he heard the hunter Nin's voice. He swore he'd heard it before. He knew he could draw Zangetsu like the Boss, but he wanted the original to have his fun. Time to show what a Hakuda can do, and make his Zanpaktou proud.
"We follow your plan. Take care of that orange blond gaki. Gozu, you have the Uchiha brats. Meizu, take care of pinky and the red haired brat. Hatake and Namikaze… is all mine…" Zabuza said in a drawn out tone blanketing the area with strong killer intent. Kakashi's eye only twitched and Kushina's growl while to the former Kiri swordsmen surprise that damn blond brat remained unaffected, Tazuna paled as he tried his best not to fall to his knees. Sasuke silent and Hitomi however seem to be slightly trembling which did not go unnoticed by the former Kiri swordsman.
"She's shaking again, how pitiful" Zabuza mocked.
"You stay out of this! You bastard!" Sayuri outburst.
"Take care of the brats. Kakashi's and Kushina's mine!" he roared as he charged the copy-ninja.
Haku sprinted towards Naruto with senbon in between her fingers. Gozu went for the Uchiha twins with his claws ready to strike. Meizu also charged for Sakura and Hitomi who was in her Zanjutsu stance with Sode no Shirayuki in both hands.
'I won't fail you Sakurayuki-shisou, Yoruichi-sensei, Zangetsu-san, and Naru-kun! I will prove myself to be a kunoichi...! And a Future wife too!' Sakura thought.
Naruto and Haku clashed with the sunset-blond wood clone avoiding the senbon thrown at him at whom both pull kunai and charge. To the brunette's surprise the blond was keeping pace with her as she ducked being slashed to the face where she counted by trying to run the clone through with her kunai. He deftly sidestepped, avoiding being dispelled. The two move flawlessly in almost a dance trying to hit the other.
Raising his sword with ease, he brought it down on Kakashi, who blocked with a kunai and Kushina charged at him with her sword and he dodge it. Sprinting ahead, Haku charged Naruto and the others, three senbon in between her fingers that she threw at their targets. But half-way through their flight, his eyes widened upon seeing them snap in half and fall to the ground. He could swear he heard something, and he turned his attention back to Naruto. Black reiryoku slightly covered his arm but soon vanished. Skidding to a stop, Haku was in disbelief on what she saw. 'Were those black flames?'
"Will you not let us complete our mission? I would rather not fight you," Haku said in a emotionless deep tone.
The clone still swears he heard that voice before. He stares evenly at the enemy before him; "Have you seen the people here? That Gatou is slowly killing off this nation with his actions! I will never let him win!"
Haku bit his lip under his mask as he back-flipped avoiding a knee strike. She quickly goes into rapid handsigns as she skids backwards.
"‡Hijutsu: Sensatsu Suishō!‡ (Secret Jutsu: Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death)"
Instantly hundreds of ice shaped senbon appeared above her as the Moku Bunshin Naruto widen his eyes. 'Holy shit…'
In a heartbeat they fly with blinding speeds towards his prey. But to his surprise behind his jutsu strikes dead on the sunset-blond vanishes in a blink of an eye.
'What was that! That wasn't Shunshin!' Haku shocked.
"Wide open," said a voice to her side.
Hearing a voice whisper he turns just as a powerful palm strike hits his in the chest. The force sent his skidding back several feet before recovering. His chain mesh took most of the force but he still feel some ribs might be a little cracked.
"Tessho- a palm strike meant to break bones and kill at the first hit. I held back on purpose. But trust me when you will be in pain for a while," Naruto said calmly.
But mentally The Naruto-clone internally shivered. He remembered being hit by that from Zangetsu. It did indeed break bones, and the strike had sent the poor blond flying into two trees. But good thing Sakura was around to healed him in time.
/"I heard that!"/
Promptly ignoring the hollow's uproar through the link from the original Naruto, the blond clone charged ahead. Haku goes into another set of handsigns. Soon ice gathered Haku's fist as he slammed it to the ground.
"Hyoton: Namida Reito!"
Soon sharp spikes of ice shot forward on Naruto who dodged in seconds and thrown several kunai at the Hyoton user. He skillfully cartwheeled out of the way and threw senbon in retaliation. Again to her shock the blond moved out of the way in time.
'It's amazing how he improved from only a week's time. Did it have to do with that weird power I saw?'
"Too slow." Naruto comment.
[Good, its seems your 'Kenbunshoku Haki' impressed.] Leivathan said.
'Thanks, Rayleigh.'
==With Kakashi & Kushina and Zabuza==
Kakashi was holding up his Kunai in a defensive stance with Kushina holding her Uzunome as well. Zabuza was totally controlling this battle, no doubt about that. His Sharingan wasn't too much use as the fog was too thick. He was covered in small cuts here and there same with Kushina, the biggest being in his hand. Zabuza had stabbed him with a strange blade as soon as he had tried to uncover his Sharingan. After that Zabuza had disappeared into the mist, showing why he was called Demon of Kiri. His ability with the silent killing method was frightening. The only reason he was still here was because of his Sharingan; he could dodge just enough for Zabuza to miss any of his vital areas. He was just hoping that Naruto, Sakura and Squad 7 were doing better. He could still hear sounds from another battle, so he was positive that they were still alive. And so does Kushina has she give Kakashi support as they on 12-6 or North south position.
"Well, well Kakashi and Kushina, it looks like you don't look so good" it came from Zabuza in the mist.
"You're worried about me Zabuza? That's cute. You don't have to, I'm more than ok" Kakashi said, hiding his worry.
"Yeah, what he said!" Kushina furious while she grip her Uzunome.
"Really? I guess we will have to do something about that won't we?" Zabuza said finishing with an evil laugh. Kakashi and Kushina tightened up their stance and awaited a new barrage of assaults.
==With Sasuke & Sayuri and Gozu==
Flipping over the taller man Sasuke and Sayuri skillfully avoiding the metal claws of the former masked Kiri Chunin with their swords. Much to the older man's ire he had to admit this kid and his sister is good, but one way or another he was killing this punk and the little girl.
"Stand still you little brats," Gozu grumbled.
The Uchiha scoffed; "right so you hit me with those poisoned claws, I'll pass."
"So am I." Sayuri said.
"It will only hurt two of you for a minute, I promise," the older male said darkly as he charged.
Sayuri quickly goes through several handsigns. He soon takes a deep breath.
"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu! (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique)"
The Chunin widens his eyes as the flames envelope him before he could scream. The Uchiha twins watches silent as the fireball dies down and he sees a chard Gozu lying on the ground but before he look back to help either Naruto or Sakura he sees the body turn to water.
'Mizu Bunshin!' Sayuri shocked.
At that thought Sayuri barely dodged a thrust from metal claws meant to rip through her spine. She quickly spins pulling a perfect roundhouse kick to the Chunin's face sending the man reeling.
Pulling out a Yagyumaru Sayuri goes for the kill. Recovering Gozu shoots out a chain from his gauntlet which startled the Uchiha as he pulled his arms up to guard. To his dismay the spiked chains wrap around his wrists as the older man grips the chain and pulls harshly towards Gozu. Before he could blink Sayuri feels a hard punch to his jaw from the rogue Chunin.
"Eye for an eye Uchiha bitch," Gozu chuckles as he keeps the chain around Sayuri's wrists.
"Let go of my sister, you bastard!" Sasuke yelled in rage
As Gozu turn head and surprised that a folly of blue light arrows heading straight of him with high speed and so a he detached the chains as he back-flip avoid the arrows he fired and he thought. 'What are those arrows? It look like Chakra that come fires unlimited shots, and this could be worst!'
But his fun is stopped now seeing Sasuke was, hold a strange blue web that look like a bow at at him. Quickly realizing the brat save his sister he waits quietly vanishing into the mist. Time for a hunt.
As Sasuke flash step-like beside his sister and said. "You alright, Sayuri?" as he worried while his on the archer stance.
"Yeah! I'm fine, Sasuke-nii. But my eyes feel so weird." Sayuri replied.
Using the mist to advantage Sayuri rubbed her eyes as they hurt strangely. Looking into a puddle they soon widen in excitement. And sure enough, her eyes were red with one tomoe in her left eye and two in her right eye. He had the Sharingan.
Sasuke surprised that his twin sister caught on his eye somehow activate her own Sharingan.
"You did it, Sayuri! You finally awaken the our families birthright!" Sasuke said in proud of how his twin sister compare of Sayuri's young age and as Sayuri replied. "Thanks Sasuke-nii."
"Any time, and also I will teach you a thing or two!"
Sayuri nodded and as she stood and as they on the defensive positions as Sasuke with his Genrei Kojaku and his sister with her Yagyumaru for watching their backs.
==With Sakura & Hitomi and Meizu==
Tazuna had to admit the little lavender-rosette and the red haired girl was actually putting up a good fight against the dual horned Kiri Chunin who was growling in frustration. When did this little pink haired bitch with her sword and combine with taijutsu, and the red hair girl as well for the their skills are aggressive? He deflected Hitomi's Uzunohana with his claws? He grudgingly admitted Sakura and Hitomi's Taijutsu and Kenjutsu was good, but it pissed him off being tricked by a simple Bunshin jutsu! Oh he was going to skin this girl alive once got a hold of her.
'Damn, she's fast! And Strong!'
Sakura glared coldly as she stood ready for Meizu's onslaught along with Hitomi. She had to secretly admit she felt calm. She felt no fear standing up against one of demon brothers. Was really all that training with Zangetsu and Yoruichi the reason she did not feel afraid?
'I will be a better kunoichi! I'll be just as strong equal as Naru-kun!' She thought.
As Hitomi stared at Sakura at the time her kenjustu combine with taijutsu is amazingly combo in the time? She did learned Mae-kenjutsu what her mother told her to learned something like that.
'How strong are you, Sakura!' Hitomi thought but cause her jealousy.
==With Naruto-Moku Bunshin and Haku==
Finding an opening the Naruto clone tried to strike at Haku's ribs but oddly met by sliding off like it was ice and did not penetrate.
"What the hell?"
"This is my Korino Yoroi (Ice Armor), hitting my skin won't be that easy…" Haku explained.
The sunset-blond narrowed his eyes in thought before they widen; "Hyoton…"
"Yes, I carry the Kekkai Genkai to create ice. Unfortunately it also made us a target to the Mizukage Yagura," Haku spoke gently.
Naruto nodded solemnly. "The bloodline purge." Haku nods.
Both are silent before he pleads with him again; "Please let us complete our mission. I do not want to kill you."
Naruto lightly glares at Haku before gesturing; "have you not seen Nami. People are dying from either starvation or depression. There are little orphan kids fending for themselves because their parents did not want to feed them or they were kidnapped by Gatou. I am going to kill that little midget prick when I find him!"
Haku bit his lip, and then spoke in his real voice. "Then...please forgive me, Naruto."
The clone's eyes widened, as Haku flipped backwards while going through hand signs. Naruto shook his head. 'Why? Please, Kami why is it him!?'
Finishing her hand signs, she knelt down and slammed her hand to the ground, saying, "Hyoton: Hissatsu Hyōsō. (Ice Release/Style: Certain-Kill Ice Spears)"
A row of ice spikes shot forward, targeting the blond who had now been woven into her heart. While not showing any outward emotion, her mind was screaming, 'Dodge! Please Kami Don't make me kill you! PLEASE GET AWAY NARUTO!'
Sakura's breath hitched while guarding against Meizu with Hitomi. Everything seemed to be moving in slow-motion as the spikes drew nearer to the clone. Even though she knew it was a Moku Bunshin, the thought of him hurt wrenched her heart.
As the last spike was about to form, everyone was sent flying when blue reiryoku engulfed Naruto and shot upwards. The shock-wave was so intense; it broke the fog around them. The spikes were no match for the sheer spiritual power, making it shatter like glass.
When the reiryoku quickly vanished, everyone looked towards the sunset blond-clone in sheer disbelief as Zangetsu formed in his hand. Slowly rising to his feet, Haku was spellbound. He had never felt that level of power ever in her life.
Zabuza, Gozu, and Meizu was in the same boat, as he looked keenly at the sunset blond with well-hidden fear. Hitomi and Sayuri stood up, shaking off the dust. They knew this was getting serious now. Sasuke on the other hand can feel his reiryoku.
Kushina and Hitomi saw the large amount of blue reiryoku and now since that that was the largest KI that engulfs Naruto.
'What kind of power did you possessed... Naru-chan.' Kushina thought. 'And what kind of mother who was making my son a monster.'
"Of all people in the world, it had to be you... Haku." Naruto said calmly.
==With Real Naruto and Aoi==
Near Tazuna's home, Naruto and Aoi both charged one another. The former Konoha Nin grabbed the Raijin-Ken from his satchel, and in moments, the pure blade of lightning appeared. Giving a fierce battle-cry, both struck their blades together into a deadlock, their face showing no emotion as they tried to out-muscle the other. Aoi was actually impressed by Naruto's strength.
"Took a shine to Kenjutsu, I see," Aoi commented.
"You never know when you need a good sword to sever the heads of traitors," Naruto growled out in reply. They remain locked for another second until Aoi ducked down into a reverse leg sweep. Naruto jumped up, avoiding the move and starting an axe kick. Aoi easily rolled out of the way within a second as Naruto's kick slammed into the ground, leaving a sizable crater. Seeing an opening, Aoi went for a thrust straight for the blonde's heart, but in a blink, the blond vanished, surprising the missing Nin.
'That wasn't Shunshin! What was that?!' Aoi thought.
His purple eyes looked in all directions for the enemy. They soon widened as he turned sharply to parry Naruto's sword that was flashing towards him. If he had not known better, he would have thought Naruto had used the Hiraishin like his former father! No, this was different and maybe more frighteningly faster than that. Grabbing his umbrella from his back, he threw it high into the air. Naruto watched as it opened but mentally he prepared.
As hail of senbon rain down at him from the open umbrella he raises his hand toward the sky and yelled,
"‡Hadō #33: Sōkatsui!‡"
A massive beam of blue flame shot from his palm, and Aoi covered his eyes from the sheer intensity of the blast. In seconds, the flames melted away the senbon and burned the umbrella as it blasted upwards into the heavens. As the flames vanished, Aoi lowered his arms and stared at Naruto in awe.
"That was no Jutsu." Aoi comment.
"It's called 'Kidō', spiritual arts used in three methods." Naruto raised three fingers before rushing forward to strike at the man. Aoi barely had time to block it and dodge out of the follow-up diagonal strike from below.
"First is Bakudō. This form is known as the 'way of binding', but also includes barriers and seals." One finger dropped, and Naruto Shunpo'ed away before reappearing, nearly hitting the purple-haired man's neck but was blocked by a hastily drawn kunai.
"Second is Hadō, the 'way of destruction'. These spells are, as you just saw, a form of attacking the enemy." A second finger dropped, and the blond quickly kicked up and hit the man square in the chest, sending Aoi flying back towards the trees. The man managed to flip over and skid to a stop on his feet, though he wondered if some of his ribs had cracked from the blow since he was breathing pretty heavily.
"Finally, third is Kaidō, also known at the "turn way." Unlike the other paths, these techniques have no set names or forms but rather are meant for healing various parts of the body." As the third finger dropped, Naruto's fist opened into a palm strike while he shot towards the man, and Aoi barely dodged out of the way in time. The strike hit the tree behind him instead, and Aoi watched, stunned beyond belief, as the back of the tree blew out into a spray of wood fiber and sent the entire thing crashing to the ground.
Aoi listened intensely at Naruto's breakdown of what he saw, gripping the Raijin-Ken. Lowering his hand from the tree, Naruto turned and stared calmly at his former friend. Both know there was nothing more to say between them. Now all that is left was their battle.
Both charged the other again, and their blades locked. With a small parry, they began their respective strikes, moving with precision and grace as they attacked and countered the other. Movements flowed between them as if in a dance, their techniques flawless. Moving in a full 360 degree spin, Aoi used his full strength to try and slice Naruto's head off. Moments before the lightning blade hit, the blond vanished with a Shunpo.
'Just what the hell is that?!' Aoi thought.
Before continuing his thoughts, he turned to block Naruto's blade. Some sweat dripped from Aoi's brow. The blond is pushing him hard - a hell of a lot harder than any normal Genin! His opponent vanished again, and the former Konoha Nin was hit with bone-shattering uppercut, the force sending him flying.
In mid-air, Aoi felt powerless from that sole strike. It was like being hit by a battering ram at full speed. His vision was slightly blurry, but he could see Naruto above him, raising Zangetsu over his head while reiryoku buzzed around the blade and his body as he screamed, "‡Getsuga Tenshō!‡"
As he slashed his blade downwards, an arch of blue energy fired at Aoi, crescent in shape – almost like a moon. His awe was soon turned into intense pain as the wave sliced through his body and sent him rocketing back to the earth. Instantly as it hit, a large explosion erupted, a pillar of reiryoku shooting upwards into the sky. The shock-wave of power dispelled the fog in the area, kicking dust up wildly before the energy died down.
With a Shunpo, the senset-blond returned to the ground and stopped at the edge of a mid-size crater. Aoi lay at the bottom with a gaping slash halfway through his chest. Blood coated the ground and seeped into the man's jumpsuit. It was amazing that the man still had any life left in him. Gnashing his teeth, Aoi got back onto his feet slowly. Panting heavily from the exertion, the Jounin looked up at the cold expression of Naruto staring back.
He had seriously underestimated the skills of his opponent here. Never in his wildest dreams did he ever think that Naruto of all people injuring him to this level, or even at all! Holding his chest with his left hand, his right weakly held Raijin-Ken, smirking weakly. He knew the wound was fatal but still felt he had a little more fight left within him. Charging forward with a fierce roar, he tried to land a wounding blow on Naruto. The said blond just watched calmly, and in a single moment, he slashed horizontally with a wave of energy, ripping through Aoi's torso. The energy was so strong it literally sliced the man in half. In slow motion, Aoi's eyes locked onto Naruto's cerulean, and a calm bloody smirk graces the man's lips while the Nidaime's sword fell from his hand.
'You've really improved... Naruto.' Aoi admitted with proud expression.
The two halves fell to the ground, and Naruto stared blankly at them before looking up. His first kill, like his father said. It would be the hardest to cope with, but he quickly steeled himself when he remembered his own words from four years ago. Aoi was a traitor, and all traitors deserved death. That was the end of it.
"Not bad Naruto…"
The senset-blond widen his eyes hearing Aoi's voice. He looks down seeing his former friend just barely alive. Slowly shaking his head he looks down at his former friend almost mournfully. "Damn it Aoi."
The dying Ame Jounin looked up at the young Genin sternly; "Save it Naruto. I made my bed; I will reap what it sowed in the bowls of hell. Do some real good around here kiddo, See ya…"
The last breath left Aoi's lips as his eyes lost their light. Naruto closed his eyes only feeling small pity now for the dead man at his feet.
'Once Kakashi-san, Kushina-san and Zabuza are done playing around, I will finish who is left.'
Snapping his head up, he realized Aoi was on Gatou's payroll. This meant the bastard snake planned to betray the former Kiri swordsman at some time during or after the battle on the bridge. Walking over and sealing the body away into a scroll, bit his thumb and make; Boar, Dog, Bird, Monkey, Ram and Slam his palm as the black marking appeared on the ground, the summoning seals.
"‡Kuchiyose no Jutsu‡ (Summoning Jutsu)"
As the cloud of smoke came, then as the cloud began to disappear it revealed to be Akarui.
"Yo!" Akarui greet as it's been 8 years Akarui is grown into a tiger as for now as he and Akarui became bond with a master and the familiar and now it was the first time in the world who can summoned her.
"Naruto! It's good to see you again." Akarui said.
"Thanks, Akarui. I just want to guard Tazuna's family, I give you a 3 kage bunshin to will escort to know where it is?" Naruto ordered.
"Right!" Akarui understood, as Naruto create 3 kage bunshins as Akarui followed his clones and the sunset-blond sprinted out of the area, hurrying as fast as he could towards the other battle. With a word...
"BANKAI!" He yelled and transform, into Tensa Zangetsu, now Naruto was wearing the same color clothing
but they were different. He was wearing a jacket like shirt that
reached the back of his ankles, with trianglular rips at the bottom,
black robe like pants, and his feet same sandals. That make him a more faster to get to the bridge.
'I better hurry!'
==Naruto-Bunshin and Haku==
Back on the bridge as the mist slowly reformed, the Naruto-clone and still masked Haku stared at each other. The hurt in the sunset-blonde's eyes were as clear as day upon realizing who he was fighting. Reaching up, his dainty hand grabbed his mask and threw it to the side, where it shattered on the cement. Though his face was blank in expression, tears rolled from his right eye as his shoulders were trembling. It was obvious he did
not want to do this.
"Why?"
Haku gave a small sad tearful smile. "Because Zabuza-Sama saved me. I wandered for months alone through the roads of Kiri, no one cared enough to stop up and ask if I was ok. We were in a civil war, and one only looked out for one self. That was until Zabuza found me. He took me in, he cared for me, and he trained me. That was when his dream became my dream. That is why I am Zabuza-Sama's weapon, his tool meant to kill his enemies."
"BULLSHIT!"
Naruto's outburst shocked his into silence, and he ranted on, "You're a human being like everyone else! You have your own dreams! Your own goals for the future, your no fucking emotionless tool!"
"Shinobi are weapons, Naruto. That is the fate for those who walk that path," Haku said with a sad smile.
The orange highlight blond shook his head. "Maybe, but cutting out your own soul will only make you into a lifeless shell! And I know deep down you are nothing like that! And you damn well know it too!"
His words struck his harder than he ever felt, the conviction in his eyes almost overwhelming his. He tilted him head in confusion when the boy he was unconsciously cared for suddenly widened his eyes. He looked sharply back to the village and then in the direction where he saw Zabuza.
"This fight is done Zabuza," he remarked with absolute seriousness.
The missing Kiri Nin stared at him and then burst out laughing. "Oh really, brat! That was a good one. Tell me, why should I stop fighting?"
"Gatou sent another Ninja to kill both my team... and you as well."
Everyone's attention zoomed in onto the sunset-blond. The two Jounin gave stern look, Sasuke and Sayuri was not surprised, Hitomi's eyes were wide, both Gozu and Meizu look at the blond boy, and Haku only remained fixed on Naruto.
"And how pray tell do you know this boy," Zabuza asked sternly, a frown forming on his face.
Naruto smirked. "Because boss just killed the ninja who planned to kill us all, Aoi Rokusho."
Kakashi and Kushina's eyes went wide as saucers. Oh they knew about Aoi, moreover they remembered how Naruto was so pissed when finding out Aoi betrayed Konoha and took the Nidaime's sacred sword. It took the Sandaime a week to calm the boy down since he meet him. After that Naruto threw on his training regiment full time. Kakashi and Hiruzen knew it was hide the hurt and anger. And also Minato and Kushina.
But now after four years, it was Naruto who killed the traitor. The silver haired Jounin was not sure if this was Karma or Kami pulling this stunt. But as Kushina heard that Naruto did kill the traitor of Konoha.
Zabuza only scoffed and readied his sword again. "Unless you have proof, this fight is still on!"
The Kiri Nin continued his battle with Kakashi, and Haku soon ran through rapid hand signs.
The clone's eyes widened and he raised a hand in a halting gesture towards the boy. "Haku, wait! Please listen to me!"
"I'm sorry, Naruto-kun. ‡Hyoton: Makyō Hyōshō!‡ (Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals)"
In seconds, a dome of ice mirrors surrounded the blond clone. Haku walked into one of mirrors and soon images of her appear in all the ice mirrors.
"This is my strongest attack. I...I do not want to fight you Naruto, but I must help fulfill Zabuza-Sama's dream. Please forgive me…" the tears still rolled, but now from both eyes from his blank face.
"Haku," he whispered. 'I am going to use 'Bankai' for doing this to him!'
"Naru-kun!"
Sakura started running towards them upon seeing what the masked Nin was doing. She will not let her favorite orange-highlight blond soon-to-be-fiance, even if it's a clone, to be alone against an enemy.
The clone halted her with a raised hand and yelled, "Stay there Sakura-chan!"
She stopped in her tracks before she could reach the dome, and she stared at the blond with worry and fear. "B-But-!" She protested
"This is my fight until the boss gets here. He already knows what's going on, so he's running full speed. And when he brings the proof the dumbass over there wants, the fight is as good as over."
Gripping Zangetsu tightly, he waited for Haku to make a move. Though hesitant, Sakura listened to the clone and hung back near the builder.
==At the house on the bridge==
Lying on the roof of a house near the bridge, a black cat with amber eyes watched the scene before turning its head to sees Naruto sprinting at full speed. As stop for a moment and Naruto said. "So... This is your cat form... Yoruichi-sensei?" without looking
The black cat surprised. "Humph, And I know Ichigo-ojisan told me you can use that form to conceal your true appearance." He added.
As the black cat sigh for defeat the Ichigo knew her better for at least for years and said with a male voice. "Yes, Naruto. I saw everything the result of Sakura's skills. I'm impressed that her skills is amazing. And you trained her well." She said admitted.
"Thanks and your going already?" Naruto said. "And I'll won't tell everyone."
black cat nodded replied. "Yes, and thank you, and I'll see you at Konoha in the maintain."
Naruto nod and then a make a run towards them to stop the fight. The Moku Bunshin at the bridge mentally sent the message of what was going on, and he had to stop Zabuza and Haku-Chan before it was too late. In his hands, he gripped the items which would absolutely get the Kiri Nin's attention: Aoi's Hitai-ate and the Raijin-ken. While using Shunpo would have made the trip quicker, he could only use it in short distances at the moment, and using it continually would use up too much of his energy.
The cat's eyes never left Naruto's form as he passed it by, and a feline smirk crossed its lips.
Seeing the threshold of the bridge, the sunset-blond ran even faster. He had to stop them!
==Kakashi & Kushina and Zabuza==
'It was worth a shot Naruto. I just hope you get here to stop this.' Kakashi thought.
'Better hurry Naruto. If you don't make in time... It's all over.' Kushina thought in mind.
Kakashi looked worriedly in the direction of where all the battle sounds where coming. He was starting to get a little worried. It hadn't been nice sounds that had come from that direction, and a few moments ago the whole section of the bridge was trembling. And even through the thick mist he could see shadows clashing.
"It's some student you have Kakashi, to be able to stand up against Haku" Zabuza's voice sounded.
Kakashi tried to determine the origin of the voice. "The feeling is mutual. Naruto is most likely the strongest Genin in Konoha. And if not, he is the strongest of his year." Kakashi replied while keeping his worry hidden. He couldn't afford to show any weakness now. He had come up with a strategy to get Zabuza. Now all he needed was to wait.
"i did so, when he was..." Kushina stop in words for not to talk about it.
"I don't know about you and her, but I would like to see this fight, so let's finish this" Zabuza said, before appearing from the mist with his blade raised for a slash. But Kushina couldn't make on time. Kakashi led it slash him slightly in the stomach, making blood splatter out on his opponent. Zabuza grinned before disappearing into the mist again.
"I agree Zabuza" Kakashi said keeping the pain back by sheer willpower "it's time we end this. The next jutsu will be the last". Kakashi brought out a scroll from his flak jacket, smeared blood on it, and began a ritual like process.
"I agreed with him!" Kushina agreed.
Kakashi finished the ritual and slammed scroll into the ground.
Zabuza laughed "No matter what you're doing it won-" he was cut short as he cried out
in pain, and the mist lightened.
Kakashi walked over to Zabuza to find him impaled the ground by dogs, biting his arms legs and ribs. "You can't escape this. Now, release the jutsu!"
Zabuza tried to find a way out of the mess when he felt a cold chill and smirked at Kakashi "Sure. You want to see the demise of your student, won't you?" he said as he released it. The fog dispersed almost immediately.
Kakashi and Kushina was stunned to see a big dome of ice mirrors with Naruto with his Bankai in the middle. To his and Zabuza's amazement the clone was unharmed as he used Shunpo repeatedly avoiding the flying senbon or Zangetsu as a shield. He was about to go to help him when Naruto looked him straight in the eye. He got the message and stayed where he was. He was just about to ask Zabuza when he answered "It's Haku's clan secret jutsu: Makyō Hyōshō. No one has ever escaped or defeated it. Even I would have trouble with it." Kakashi and Kushina looked away from Zabuza to see Sasuke and Sayuri fighting Gozu and Sakura and Hitomi actually staying safe and not being hit by Meizu. Tazuna was thanking Kami unharmed, but he saw the look in the rosette's eyes, she was very worried about Naruto, much like he is –clone or not-.
"It's over for that clone," Zabuza chuckled.
"What makes you so sure?" Kakashi replied, blocking the Kiri Nin's sword with the kunai in his hand.
"That jutsu Haku just used is the most dangerous technique she has ever created. None has ever survived it."
Kakashi grunted then parried with a roundhouse kick, knocking Zabuza back. "Never underestimate Naruto. He has knack for surprises."
'Come on, Naruto. Get here quick as you can.' Kushina thought for hope of her former son arrived.
Soon a powerful wave of reiatsu hits the field stopping everything. First time feeling this Zabuza, Haku, Gozu, and Meizu are frozen by the sheer power enveloping the bridge. Dropping the dog summons Kakashi knows his little brother was coming now.
And by the feeling he was pissed…
'What is this pressure? It feels stronger than even killer intent!' Zabuza mentally was at his wits ends.
Haku kept herself in his ice mirror but looked confused seeing the Moku Bunshin smile warmly at her. "Now we don't have to fight Haku." The reiatsu faded as another voice roared.
"ZABUZA! CATCH!"
Everyone stopped and turned, seeing the original Naruto with his Bankai state throw Aoi's hitai-ate at the Kiri Nin. Kakashi moved fast out of the object's way as Zabuza caught the item effortlessly.
"Aoi Rokusho, missing Nin of Konoha turned ninja of Amegakure. He was hired by Gatou to tie up all loose ends. You included," Naruto said out of breath beside the ice dome.
The Naruto clone sighed in relief and raised an eyebrow. "Took you long enough, boss."
"Well, a black cat crossed my path, you know," Naruto said as he smirked. Kakashi on the other that cause him to make a eye smile with anime-style tears and said. "Naruto…I'm…so proud of you… coming up with such an awesome excuse…I now feel like my time being this team have truly born fruit." Kakashi said with eye smile.
'Please! Not another Kakashi,' Kushina thought with whining expression.
Sakura couldn't help with a giggle of Naruto use the an excuse from her master that her sensei was Kakashi and he always late in 2hours or 3 and came up a lame excuse. And Hitomi with face-faulted and mentally cried out, 'NO! NOT ANOTHER KAKA-NII!'
The clone chuckled as it finally dispelled, and soon, the ice dome shattered as a perplex Haku looked at Naruto. Zabuza, peering down at the object in hand, growled before gripping the hitai-ate tightly.
"I know he stole the Raijin-Ken, brat. Where is it?"
Without needing a word, the blond dropped the legendary sword to the ground, and everyone heard the former Seven Swordsman growling at the sight of the Nidaime's sword. The rage inside him burned like wildfire. That little worm of a man had the gall to actually try and betray him! Seething, he threw the hitai-ate to the ground. A sound of clapping brought everyone's attention to the end of the bridge still covered in mist.
"To think, a snot-nosed kid figured out my plan," a man's voice cut through.
The mist began to clear, and the ninja all saw at least one thousand men armed to the teeth. Making a path through them, a short man in a business suit walked in front of the thugs, a cane in his hands and a sneering smile on his face. Kakashi and Zabuza glared but weighed the options in front of them.
"Kakashi, Kushina, looks like our little 'duel' is done," Zabuza said as he hefted his sword onto his shoulder, calculating how many men he could take out with a few swings.
"Yeah, I think you're right."
Haku stood beside Naruto as they stared at Gatou with absolute hate and loathing. So this was the man responsible for all the pain and misery caused to Nami. This greedy, self-centered son of bitch was the one who killed Inari's father. Naruto clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were starting to turn crimson at the edges while his pupils started to turn to slits. Sasuke, Sayuri, Hitomi and Sakura stayed protectively in front of an angry yet frightened Tazuna. Both shared the same rage Naruto was feeling for Gatou but knew that they would only get in the way if they chose to jump into the building fray. Best to wait near Tazuna and pick off the stragglers who came too close.
"Kill them all," Gatou commanded with a haughty sneer.
"What about the four girls? They look fun to play with," a thug says, leering at Sakura, Sayuri, and Hitomi. The redhead shivered a little, but her eyes turned harder as she thought, 'COME NEAR ME AND I'LL WEAR YOUR ENTRAILS AS A SCARF!' Sakura's own eyes were like ice as a frosty aura began to descend upon them and three senbon threaded between her fingers.
"Do as you like, but kill the others. Let's send Wave their funeral dirge in the form of their screams."
Before they could even raise their weapons to fight, Naruto shunpo'ed a few feet away from the enemy, as he walk towards them with the eyes shadowed and as Everyone shocked of Naruto attend to get himself killed.
"Naruto! Get out of there!" Kushina yelled with worried.
"Naruto/-Nii/-san!" Hitomi and Sayuri yelled.
"Heh, heh. That brat will died for sure then next to the rest of the puny konoha-nin." Gato chuckled.
As Naruto raise his head with his face blank but his eyes wide. Leer eyes and unleashed a burst of wave of massive KI as the scene turned blue as the mercenaries as the mercenaries frozed charges as Gato got confuse what happened but then as all his mercs is frozen like ice as the wind breezed surrounds him.
But make Team 7, Sakura and Tazuna was surprised of what just happen? Every time Naruto was just walk straight to them and then suddenly a the Gato's mercenaries just frozed.
"W-What's happening?!" Kushina whispered.
Soon they begun to collapsed. they completely knocked unconsciously.
"AH! What's going on?!" one of the mercenary said.
Gato shocked that most of his men will collapsed. As his numbers were reduce to half.
As the one of his thugs spoke. "He didn't do anything but so many of us got knocked out!"
Another thug yelled. "Hey, stand up, guys!"
"Damn! He beat half of us a single moment!" another thug comment.
"That means 500 people in an instant? What did he do?" another thug said.
Back at Team 7, Sakura and Tazuna couldn't believe what they saw? As Team 7 thought that it could be look like a KI but it looks similarity.
As Kushina spoke. "What's going on?" she asked.
"Wh-What? What just happened?" Hitomi asked.
Sakura smirked. "He's so strong. That's my Naru-kun." she admitted.
That cause Sasuke, Sayuri and everyone look at Sakura attention, as Sasuke spoke. "Naruto-senpai did that?!" Sakura nod.
Tazuna awed. "Amazing!"
As Naruto look at the midget tyrant with his eyes covered in shadow and said. "Gato? I guess I will start to end your corruption." He said in rudely. "You can become king of whatever-you-want-in-any-country."
Naruto rose his head and declares. "I will save Wave Country for your crime!" as his body engulf with reaitsu.
Kakashi, Kushina and the others could barely stand from the levels radiating from the orange-blond Genin. Hell, it was hard to even breathe! Sasuke has his Sharingan active and Sayuri even went so far as to think that if she already hadn't unlocked her Sharingan, this would surely have done so! This was infinitely worse than when they first faced Zabuza!
Raising his arm and placing one of his hand over his face, a massive wave of reiatsu hit the entire area.
Meanwhile, Gatou was paralyzed with fear as he looked at the eyes of the boy. Glowing crimson eyes with black sclera glared with pure rage at the little man. Sweat poured relentlessly down his face, as the amber eyes seemed to pierce at his very soul. And now a "ripping" fashion.
The black energy soon engulfed Naruto for about five seconds, and quickly disappeared, revealing Naruto in his Transformation. Naruto's orange-blond hair was long and straight, now reaching down to his waist, while the hole in his chest was now decorated with markings that stretched from the hole, across his chest and shoulders. He had claws on his fingertips and toes and six small furry Dark-blue tufts; two of them started from his collarbone and stretched around his neck while one was now each on his wrists and ankles. Naruto now had seemingly white skin and, to further unnerve Kakashi, Kushina, and Zabuza #the latter two had stopped fighting each other upon sensing "Naruto's" reiatsu flare up#, a Hollow mask that was shaped the same as his face and covered his entire head.
The mask had four black spike-shaped marks; two of them stretched by the forehead while the other two stretched past the eyes and teeth before going past his chin and joining with the marks on his chest. There were also small marks resembling a heart, but with the top and bottom open, that extended from the inner corners of his eyes. The mask also featured two long forward-pointing horns with black stripes extending from their center towards the tips. With the Tensa Zangetsu on his hand.
As soon as "Naruto" grasped the blade he let out a massive roar along with a massive surge of very dark spiritual pressure that terrified Hitomi and Kushina... as well as intimidate even the Sakura of what saw of Naruto's transformation is like similar to the full-biju transformation.
"De- de, DEMON!" A Thug shouted as wide spread panic was created in Gato's army.
"Sh-Sh-Shut up! H-H-He's j-j-just one person! W-W-Whoever g-g-gives m-me t-that f-f-f-freak's h-head g-get's a-a-an extra million ryo!" Gato nervous shouted as the army then charged in, hoping not to die.
With a hissed that would give the Devil a pause of fear, he said, *Pathetic little creatures who dare to walk as men! KNOW THE PAIN OF UTTER OBLIVION FOR THE SUFFERING YOU CAUSED!*
As his head aim at the mercs, It is charged fired from between the tips of his horns. black-blue and hex-focused concentrated spiritual energy at the target.
*‡CERO!‡* (An Enhanced One)
The words took immediate effect as the orb exploded and shot towards the army, eradicating everyone and everything in its path. All of the shinobi watched in awe, such a destructive jutsu for what seemed to be little energy, while some of the genin found the need to empty their stomachs. The Cero decimated the army of thugs. Then Naruto sonido to in front of Gato, the businessman crawling backwards. Naruto then grabbed him by his neck and held him in the air.
"No. No! P-Please s-s-spare me! I'll give you anything you want! Money, women, power, anything!" Gato pleaded as he tried to talk his way out of death.
*Sorry, but I have all that I can ever want. I won't be the one to kill you but,* Hollow form-Naruto then turned his head to the left where the village.
"HEY!"
Everyone turned back towards the village to see Inari and the entire villagers standing behind them. Each person had a make shift weapon in their hands, and the young boy himself had a small crossbow in his hands.
"We came to help," Inari commented.
*About time.* As turn his head back to Gato. *They'll be the one's to decide your fate... and enjoy.* Naruto said as he throws Gato toward wave citizens.
Tazuna and Inari glared at Gato along with the rest of the villagers. The bridge builder grabbed Gato's shoulder and lifted him up into the air. "You sick bastard. You are going to pay for your crimes you committed to our people and country." He threw the midget at a crowd of men in the midst of the group. "Hang him up; cut off his arms and execute him." Gato looked horrified as many of the villagers smirked victoriously, that bastard will get a taste of his own cruelty.
As a villager then shouted. "Cut off his arms and feed him to the fish!" Then every villager ran to the stubby bastard and proceeded to do just that. Naruto on the other hand flashed and returned to his group, and letting his transformation release, leaving Naruto the way he was previously.
Every citizen was crying in happiness because their families would finally get his justice. Gato's cries were covered by the celebration voices of the villagers.
"Oh dear Kami." Sayuri said in relief of the overwhelming energy.
"Sorry 'bout that. I seemed to have taken things a tad too far." Naruto sheepishly said as screams of pain were heard as Gato lost his limbs. Then the exhaustion caught up to him as he fell on the ground, heavily panting.
As Naruto's hole in his chest is covered in white energy then began to heal the hole in Naruto's chest, both the glow and reiatsu vanishing as he did so, and he simply sneered out, "Enjoy Hell – if there's anything left of you."
As everyone just stood there with widened eyes at what they just witnessed, Sakura bravely walked over and tentatively raised a hand towards him. "Naru-kun?"
Turning half-way, he gave a smile at his lover, his eyes back to their normal cerulean blue.
"It's okay, Sakura-chan. It's over now. You don't have to be afraid of me." He raised his hand to her, and she squealed before jumping towards him and enclosing him into a bone-crushing hug.
Kakashi sighed with relief and Kushina is was that she got froze and shocked of what she saw Naruto's transformation, while Zabuza crossed his arms, annoyed he couldn't have killed Gatou himself. Haku smiled serenely, Sasuke smirked and shook his head at his senpai's antics, Sayuri was relief that she saw the villagers bashing Gato into bits, while Tazuna rubbed the sweat from his brow. Hitomi stared of her former brother behind with Sakura of how he can transformed into a some sort a 'demon' for killing all the mercenaries. This day may have been the most nerve-racking of his long life, but, damn, was he glad these people stayed to fight!
Naruto smirked and swept his free hand towards the soot-covered section of the bridge (his other currently wrapped around the rosette's waist).
First there was silence, as everyone stared at the soot and wondered just how such a thing was possible, but then it started to turn to murmured exclamations that quickly turned into a victorious roar.
Kakashi eye-smiled. 'This had to be the most unorthodox mission I ever been on. But it turned out just fine.'
Kushina was feared of Naruto's new appearance that look like a mini-biju. 'What was that just now? He wipe 500 Gato's thugs? And that form Naruto he transformed? It's like his a Jinchuriki itself, and also...' back in Naruto's form that he has a hole on his chest. 'And why there's a hole on Naruto's chest?'
Hitomi also on the other hand that her former brother killed an army of Mercenaries alone. 'What kind of form is that what did you transformed, Nii-san.'
Standing beside Inari, the same black cat eyed the scene – or, more accurately, Naruto.
'Looks like Kisuke was right after all. And also he can control the Hollow's power. Let's see what you can do, Naruto Kurosaki...' She smirked. 'And I will see you soon.'
No one noticed the shadow behind tree that was watching whole scene.
==Behind Tree==
It was dark skin Kumo-Ninja who saw whole battle. He was shocked by Naruto's power and his monstrous Jutsu.
'I have to inform Raikage.' Kumo-Ninja thought.
"What Kumo-Ninja doing here?" Unknown voice said behind him. He turned around and Naruto was standing behind him. He took fighting stance. But it turns out that was a Wood Clone that Original Naruto send.
He felt blade on his back. He saw another Naruto was standing behind him. "Answer me," Naruto asked in cold tone.
"I am Kumo-scout." Kumo-Ninja said some fear in his voice.
"All right," Naruto said. "You can go now." as he retract his hidden blade.
"So you're letting me go?" Kumo-Ninja asked, looking extremely surprised.
"Yes," Naruto said and he took out a scroll on his kimono pocket and toss it to the Kumo-nin.
Kumo scout confuse of what Naruto give a scroll to him and said, "Wha-"
Naruto cut off and answered. "It's my info about my skills? But I need you to spread the word." He said
"Why?" Kumo confused.
As Naruto with his eyes opened and said. "I want the whole Elemental Nations for my Reputation, if concern the world for having me as that if they know about my reputation. And also tell your Raikage that not to mention me about I give the info to you." he declared. "And as my mentor said... it's Equivalent Exchange."
Kumo-nin scout surprised and replied. "Sure, I tell Raikage-sama for not to tell the Elemental Nations for I give the Info to you."
Naruto nodded and vanished with his Shunpo.
Kumo-Ninja sighed in relief and thought, 'It's feels like that I see death itself and barely I survived from it.' He started running to Kumo direction then before that he check the scroll and read that with a whistled.
"Tokubetsu Genin? That's new rank system in Konoha." Kumo-nin admitted.
==Next Day==
The day was met with the roar of celebrations. Gatou's death rang the bell of hope inside the people of Nami. Tazuna and his family were in the thick of it, joining the masses in celebration of the liberation from their tyrant. But the old builder had enough time in between his massive amounts of drinking and to explain it will be a month for the bridge to finish. There was just too much damage from the ninja's attacks for them to simply move on. Tazuna had to first make sure that the area where the battles took place was still structurally sound, and his workers were all in various states of incapacitation. He had some ready to go and others only needing a couple days to rest, but it was little better than a skeleton crew while the rest healed for the better part of the month. This left room for Team 7 and 11 to get several cautious items over with.
Sakura chose to spend her time with the orphan children her and Naruto had grown close to. Ironically, Kakashi is taken away by Tsunami, who 'wanted to give her personal thanks'. But Kushina saw her husband's student that drag tsunami for a reward, but! She knew what she meant. So the only ones not among the cheering masses was Naruto, Sasuke, Sayuri, Hitomi, Zabuza, and Haku.
Sitting on Tazuna's roof, the male Genin of Team 7 and Squad leader of 11 eyed their former enemies. You'd be thick to not feel the tension between the four. The last Uchiha and Uzumaki glanced at each other than toward the Kiri ninjas every so often, but weren't so stupid as to start any fights.
"Can I ask you something?" Zabuza asked, cutting away the silence.
"Depends on the question," Naruto retorted.
"Just what the hell happened to you? Granted, it was a welcome thing considering the odds we were facing, but something like that isn't something you see every day even in the Shinobi world."
Rubbing his chin and looking at Haku, Naruto knew he really did not need to hide Zangetsu from them anymore. It's not as if they could take the sword from him or tell anyone else what had happened to him. After all, who would believe them?
So, after a deep breath, he explained everything. Their expressions were priceless at the information, and his words were further proven when the sword-spirit appeared behind the boy in all his ominous glory. Zabuza nearly fell off the roof while Haku was spellbound. The very moment he met him, he knew Naruto is special. But with all this.
"So what should we do with them?" Sasuke said, looking over towards Naruto.
The sunset-blond rubbed his chin as his eyes locked onto Haku's. "Zabuza, was Haku a full-fledged ninja of Kirigakure?"
"No, he was just an orphan I found and trained. Haku has no ties to the ninja corps of Kiri like I once did."
Standing up, they all watched as Naruto mentally sorted through his thoughts. Peering over at Zangetsu, they both nodded in agreement.
"We'll take you back to Konoha," Naruto said, turning to face them.
"You sure about this Naruto-senpai?" Sasuke asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, Hokage-san would know what to do. And since I know why you rebelled against Yagura, I'm sure he'll would accept you both."
Ruffling his short hair, Zabuza's short level of patience began to run thin. "Gaki, Why didn't you addressed "Hkage-sama" instead of "Hokage-san"?"
The blond looked square into the eyes of the Kiri swordsman. The Jounin was impressed that there was no ounce of fear. "Because he use to be my father, otherwise I addressed him as "Hokage-san". I have no reason to talk about his stupid legacy."
Both Haku and Zabuza's eyes turned saucer-sized as they stared at him. This orange highlight blond maniac was the Ypdaime's Son?!
Naruto just smirked at their expressions and turned away so as to prevent himself from laughing out loud. "Not by blood anymore, of course. I'm no longer part of his family, as Haku was a orphan and therefore do not have any of them like Kushina-san as a stranger to them."
"Why?" Haku asked.
"Here's a hint? A girl has the same face and a red hair?" Naruto question.
That cause Zabuza and Haku eyes bulged that question is? As Zabuza said. "Kushina's daughter?"
Naruto nodded. "Yes, I was once the Minato and Kushina's son and Hitomi's twin brother, but..."
He explained to them about is negligence his life was horrible, and then they only focus their daughter. And since he meet his new parents and Zangetsu and that how he has the power to live his life and then as Zabuza and Haku along with the Demon Brother knew the rumors of his Reputation from Konoha? As Naruto is making seals and weapons that cause zabuza whistled of he can make weapons and clothes too. As Konoha considered Naruto as the 'Black Savior' and he made a emancipation notes for leaving the Family and Clan and he told them about the stupid toad 'prophecy' about the disaster has come, so as They thought it was his former sister was the 'Child of Prophecy' and they been started trained her and ignore his existence also the famous Jiraiya and Tsunade who trained Hitomi instead Naruto.
"So, once the bridge is done, you'll come with us and tell your side of story to him, and in no time, you'll both be Konoha Nin."
Zabuza looked at him dryly. "Things are never that easy, gaki, no matter what connections you might have with the higher-ups."
The sunset-blond just sent another smirk in Zabuza's direction. "Sure it is. After all, how many other ninja villages take in well-known missing-nin like Aoi to bolster their own ranks?"
"Why did you try to kill Yagura anyway?" Sasuke asked, trying to cut to the real question.
The former Kiri Jounin looked at the last Uchiha solemnly but remained silent.
==At the Pair==
the orange highlight blond was a little perplexed as to why Haku asked to meet him by the pier near Tazuna's home. However, since he did want to know more about the Hyoton user, why not indulge him?
His sandals creaked on the wooden planks as he saw the Haku standing at the edge, looking out over the dark waters. With the moonlight shining down brightly. Before he stood beside the brunette. They stood in comfortable silence, and Naruto inhaled the sea air, the breeze moving gently as it swayed their hair.
"Thank you," Haku almost whispered.
"For what?" the blond asked as he looked at her. She still continued to look out over the bay.
"For giving me and Zabuza-Sama this chance, even if the Yodaime does not agree to aid us. I wanted to thank you for your kindness."
"He will accept you guys. I know he will," Naruto replied in a determined tone.
Turning, he looked at the side of his face as he now mimicked him earlier stance and gazed out over the water. The strong will in his eyes and his words made her smile, but soon his face turned solemn as the questions finally come to her. The one question only an orphan can ask a fellow orphan.
"Why did you hate your parents?" she asked in her most gentle tone.
The blond looked down slowly as his eyes turn distant regretful, knowing it was a tender question.
"They ignored my existence the very day I was 7. I simply justified their treason," he replied, his voice cracking slightly. "What about you, Haku?"
'He's been neglected by his parents from the beginning? While I..,' her thoughts trailing off as she remembered 'that' day...
"I... I knew both my Kaa-san and Tou-san. When our clan was being killed, my Kaa-san fled Kiri and found a small farm village on the outskirts of Mizu. There she met and fell in love with a man, but she kept her Kekkai Genkai secret from him. When they married, I was soon born, and for four years, I knew nothing of violence or war. But on a fateful day, I learned I could manipulate the water and turn it to ice. I showed Kaa-san, thinking she would like to see something so pretty, but she looked terrified and slapped me, yelling at me to never do such a thing ever again. But not a second after that, she hugged me, apologizing for striking me. Unfortunately, what we did not see was Tou-san, who saw everything from afar."
Looking at her questioningly, his face soon turned into shock as her eyes prickled with tears. It was weird as her expression remained blank with tears roaming down her cheeks.
"That night, Tou-san came home with a mob of the villagers. When they found out about what I'd done, they gathered make-shift weapons, and they broke down the door. T-Tou-san only gave us a blank look, before he brought down his axe. I remember he hacked away as he killed Kaa-san in front of me, butchering her until there was barely anything recognizable about her body, repeating the word "demon" over and over. I was crying as he walked over to me. I called out to him, but he only called me a monster as he brought up the bloody axe. I screamed again, and my Kekkai Genkai activated in my fear, causing ice spikes to impale both the mob and Tou-san."
Naruto stood in front of him as he looked up and looked at him, his tears falling, and his face empty. Tears threatened to fall from his eyes as he clenches his fists for what causing Haku pain, though his mind was blank. What kind of father kills his wife and then tries to kill his son!? Even if he was his father, Naruto only wished he was there back then, and killed that bastard himself!
Zangetsu bowed his head, and even Hakuto was silent, and even his parents. all spirit, hollows, 2 couple, and the soul reaper saw countless pain and sorrow in their lives. To them, it was commonplace, a cruel part of life that would forever be there, though while Zangetsu could show compassion when he chose to, it was harder for Hakuto, being what he was.
Slowly and gently Naruto place his hand on Haku's shoulder.
He look away from him, muttering, "All just because of my curse. All because I am a-"
"Don't you dare finish that sentence," Naruto whispered.
"That is what I am, Naruto. I'm a freak, a monster, a demon in human skin."
"I will never believe or accept that you are such a thing. You are one of innocent boy I ever met, I don't care about the curse. You are who you are, Haku, and nothing should ever make you hate the gift you are given."
A he silent that of his words. No one had ever given his such a compliment. For a rare moment, with his Hyoton, his body was far more adjusted towards the cold, so feeling such a strength of warmth was powerful thing for him. A small, heartfelt smile spread across his lips, and slowly his arms wrapped around the blond as a shiver of delight passed through his body.
"Arigato."
"Any time," Naruto replied. "Now tell me everything. Why do your eyes have such sadness?"
He saw him hesitate, and it was obvious this was something about his past he did want kept secret. He could tell he was regret to say this one thing; something that he figured was the link to all of it. his eyes were wide as new tear fell, but not for her. Naruto knew he might be able to hide his status as a Second Rikudou Sannin from his, but not 'everything' that happened to him. So he told his of his life from the time to the Negligence to now. He knew he could not leave a single detail out, and he saw the results. Sitting at the end of the pier, their feet dangling at the edge, Naruto watched as Haku's shocked from his face. He just wondered, if he knew he has the Legendary Eye; The Rennigan it's one of the most legendary dojutsu that belongs the creator of Ninjutsu, would he still be like that?
The Hyoton user could not stop himself of how pain by being ignored. So much pain he had felt, and yet he had kept himself this intact. He knew it spoke of his will, but no one should have ever felt what he had, and he knew the reason was the very thing he had held back.
"I won't force me to tell you, Naruto. Please tell me," she spoke with calm tone.
He saw fear, real fear in his eyes as they widened. He was about to look away when he sigh and gently turn his head tool at Haku, as he slowly shook his head.
"Sure, You'll have my trust for it, just like everyone else," he said.
"Does Sakura-san or your team respected you? Does your parents?"
He started to shake as he looked down to avoid her gaze. He could not bear seeing the hate or disgust that would come.
"Y... Yes, since I have my fiance Sakura, my friends Sasuke and Sayuri and the others from the Rookie 10 minus Hitomi," he finally said in barely audible tone.
He smiled a little. "I see," Haku said back. "so you getting married?"
With his smile. "Yes," He replied with disbelief, but seeing him warm and accepting eyes gave him hope.
"That was great, Naruto. I guess you get yourself a women of you, because that I will be your brother for now at least."
Naruto smiled again for having a new brother. "Thanks Haku. I could use some company, and you and Zabuza and the Demon Brothers will be my employers to my shop."
"Shop?" Haku confuse.
"I ran a shop to sell weapons and clothe I told you? And I only have one employer who has to earned my trust and someone will intending to get my information from me by interrogate for interfere my well affairs, and that's why I don't like traitors who ruined my trust."
Haku nodded for understand. Feelings could be brought to bear just by the simplest of actions.
==At the Abandoned House==
Inside an abandoned house, Sakura sat with all the orphan children around her. From the moment everyone was settled, the children began to bombard her with questions, and the lavender-rosette was glad she took lessons in patience from Zangetsu. Slowly, she answered every question asked of her.
"Hey, Nee-Chan?"
Sakura 'hmm'-ed, looking at a small brunette girl while gently rubbing the sleeping head of the toddler she adored named Noriko. She didn't know what it was that drew her to the little girl, apart from her always calling Sakura "Mama" despite the other orphans looking up to her like a big sister. Maybe it was the fact that she had beautiful green eyes like Sakura's own, making that little connection between them deeper, or maybe she just looked so adorable with her pretty blonde hair framing her angelic little face.
Maybe it had something to do with the fact that those two features combined and the girl's title for her made her picture her and Naruto's children in the future (this thought causing a rather large blush to erupt onto her face when she did think of it).
She was shaken out of her musings when one of the orphans asked, "Where's Nii-san?"
All the kids were in on that agreement. They all wondered where big brother was. Before she could open her mouth, the make-shift cloth door slid open, allowing a tall figure into the room. The children were excited when their big brother showed up and rushed over to him to say their hellos. But he was not alone; beside him Haku stood quietly with a serene smile at the children. Quite a few had blushes on their cheeks when seeing the Hyoton user, causing Sakura's eye to slightly smile.
"You guys have been behaving for Nee-Chan?"
"Yes Nii-san," they all said together.
Naruto took a seat beside his teammate and soon-to-be-fiance, and Haku took his other side. The children were blissfully unaware of the small amount of tension between the older girls and boys in the room. Naruto could see from the corner of his eyes that the girls were passing glances at the other and felt a little confused. Was Sakura jealous? Or for that matter, Haku? Nah, that couldn't be right. But Haku is a boy? Right?
'Right?'
/'It seems that the orphans look confuse, I see,'/ The Hakuto chimed in.
'Yeah, they could not tell Haku is a boy or girl, I think?'
/'But you better introduce to your 'fiance', otherwise there will be a 'Cat Fight'?'/
Naruto took a better look at his fiance and boy cross-dress girl and finally could see the tension. Sighing, he decided to break the ice, hoping they wouldn't lash out at him in response.
"Sakura-Chan, meet Haku my new brother in arms. Haku, this is my girlfriend Sakura-chan."
"A pleasure to finally meet you, Sakura-san," Haku said in an overly-sweet tone, the close-eyed smile. "Naruto told me you are engaged?"
"Likewise. I'm so glad we did not have to kill each other," the rosette replied, "And thanks.".
'It's official. looks like they started to get along,' the sunset-blond thought while praying these two don't kill each other by the month's end. Still, he was happy that life seemed to have breathed back into the village and its people. But something was gnawing at the back of his mind, which did not go unnoticed.
"Naru-kun?"
"We need to find Gatou's base," Naruto replied, voicing his thoughts.
The Sakura and Haku and kids were surprised by it. Why did Naruto want to go to that Kami forsaken place? Zangetsu and Hakuto, however, were both impressed by the boy's resolve.
"Haku, would Gatou's hideout still be guarded?"
The Hyoton user thought for a moment. "Yes, There would still be at least twelve to twenty men at the hideout. But Naruto-kun what are you thinking of?"
Standing up, he looked at both of them with a stern gaze. "We're finishing this. Once and for all."
==At Gatou's Hideout at the Forest==
Sprinting through the trees, Naruto, Zabuza, Haku, and Sasuke moved towards Gatou's hideout. Sakura wanted to come and argued with Naruto for about a minute, but she reluctantly agreed to staying behind to keep an eye on Nami (Wave). Besides not wanting Sakura to get into a fight while out there, there was no one else he trusted more than the lavender-rosette to take care of things.
That comment earned the blond a kiss on the cheek, to which Haku slightly and admitted.
Zabuza was impressed by the orange-blonde's wanting to finish the job, and to be honest, they did have to get their things from the place. The former seven swordsman explained the hideout was northeast, outside the limits of Nami. The place was actually built into a small mountain with a large area of fencing surrounding it.
"So your plan is to find where Gatou hid his fortunes, get rid of all the guards to make sure they don't case trouble in the future, and then place enough explosive tags inside to level a village," Zabuza questioned Naruto at his side.
"Pretty much."
The others blanched, and Zabuza asked, "Does the term 'overkill' reach your vocabulary there, kid?"
"Overkill is vastly overrated. Besides, how else are we supposed to know if the job gets done or not if we don't completely destroy the base of operations? Nothing says 'clean-up' like fifty high-powered seal tags enough to level a mountain!"
"And you're completely insane, in case I forget to mention," Sasuke said, putting his two cents in.
Naruto chuckled while Haku shook her head at the boys. Still, she had to admit it was a sound plan, if a little crazy.
'Is my plan really 'THAT' out there?'
/'Fifty points on the F.U.B.A.R. scale,'/ Hakuto snickered. /'And also your Hollowfication powers are more beyond then a Biju and also...the Cero will be a BIGGER ONE!'/
'A sound strategy if, a little reckless,' Zangetsu replied calmly.
Naruto sighed. This was going to be an interesting night.
==At Tazuna's House==
Sitting on the porch of Tazuna's house, the lavender-rosette of Team 11 had her chin resting in her hands. She was bored out of her mind, and she could not shake what that 'Haku' boy was up to with her teammate. While she admitted the Hyoton user to be her fiance's brother, as for Hitomi, so help Kami, she admitted to have anything on Naruto, she would-
Her emerald eyes widened as she blinked. Why the hell was she so protective of Naruto all of sudden from the start? Why did the thought of Hitomi taking Naruto away from her make her heart clench in pain? And she'll regret and her parents for lying them for now having a son in the first place!?
She was brought out of her musings when the meow of a cat nearly made her jump off the steps. To her right, she saw a pure black-furred feline with amber eyes looking at her. Sakura's nerves settled down as she took a deep breath.
"Don't frighten me like that," the rosette said, her voice a little shaky.
The cat meowed again and crawled on Sakura's lap. She pet behind its ears as it lie down comfortably. A small smile graced her lips. "Would be nice, being a cat once in a while. Wouldn't have to worry about being attacked by crazy rogue ninja. Or having a pervert for sensei or red haired matriarch of the different team, the twins, a and one loving teammate or mentor."
Purring was the cat's reply to Sakura's little rant. Sighing, the lavender-rosette looked towards the night sky, praying that everyone came home safely. Unbeknownst to her, the cat had one eye open, looking at her.
'Though she is aware of it, it seems Sakura's reiryoku is impressed, no doubt due to Naruto and Zangetsu's influence. Yet it feels so familiar, almost like Rukia does.'
Sakura sigh. "You know something... Yoruichi-sensei?" as cause the cat surprised as she look at Sakura and said with a male voice. "How did you-"
"Sakurayuki-shisou told me about you, that you transform yourself into a cat that conceal yourself to the Soul Society? But... Don't teased my fiance by with your naked body of yours when you revert into human form."
Yourichi face-fault and replace with sigh. "Okay, and I won't do that again." She admitted. "And congrats."
Sakura nodded for thank you. "And also I won't tell everyone."
==Back with Naruto and the Co.==
Naruto and company stopped at the fence line surrounding Gatou's compound. They saw at least two watch towers, which Zabuza said they rarely used, and from what the Kiri swordsman said, about the guards, there were nothing more than low-level thugs guarding the place. Easy prey for trained Shinobi, but still one thought was in their heads.
"Where's Kakashi?" they whispered in unison.
"Right behind you," he whispered back.
All of them jumped and scowled as they turned to see the one eye Jounin reading his smut book.
"So where the hell have you been, Hatake?" Zabuza growled.
The copy-ninja eye-smiled and said simply, "I was well treated by some very pleasant company."
"You got laid, Kakashi-san," Naruto corrected, not missing a beat.
Kakashi nearly fumbled his book while the others chuckled at him. After the small levity, everyone turned serious. They eyed the perimeter to see any openings and, after five minutes, decided it was child's play. The plan: Naruto would create some chaos at the entrance with Haku. Zabuza, Kakashi, and Sasuke would then enter from the sides and push the thugs outside towards Naruto and Haku. Afterwards, they would clear the place of all its wealth. After that, they would put the bodies of the thugs, both living and dead, inside the building and put explosive tags everywhere. Then finally, BOOM!
"Everyone up to speed on the plan?" Sasuke said, casting a few last-minute looks at the hideout.
"Yep. Oh, and Kakashi-san?"
"Hmm?"
"I know it's hard to having someone who can talk to me by your sensei's judgement, I guess I will earned your trust of once... If Tsunami-Chan gets pregnant, I get to be the uncle," Naruto smirked as he dashed ahead with a chuckling Haku.
Zabuza burst out laughing while the silver-haired Jounin slumped his shoulders at being so transparent. Even Sasuke chuckled at the small bash at his lazy sensei.
==Gatou's Hideout - Entrance==
Moonlight gave enough visible light for the two guards staying by the large gate entrance to see maybe a few feet ahead of them. The tall, scruffy one yawned loudly, causing his short, well-cut partner to glare at him.
"Will you get serious?" Guard 1 whined.
"Aw, lighten up. Boss is probably setting the town on fire as we speak, and then he'll bring that bridge-builder's daughter here for some entertainment," Guard 2 said, licking his lips in anticipation at the thought of getting his hands on that raven-haired hottie.
Hearing someone clear their throat brought them out of their lewd thoughts. They looked to the open entrance to see Haku eyeing them sternly with his arms crossed. Both stood at attention.
"Haku, welcome back," they said together.
His serene smile was the last thing they saw, as their heads fell from their necks. Naruto gripped Zangetsu tightly as he looked the crumbled bodies on the ground. Walking over the corpses Haku's eyes softened as he approached him.
"Naruto."
"I'll be fine, Haku-nii. Time to get started!"
==Inside Gatou's Hideout - Barracks==
In the barracks of the hideout, several of the guards sat about. Some were drinking and playing some cards while others were eating at a large dinner table. Their guard was pathetically low, so when a silver-haired ninja just appears out of nowhere standing on the table, everyone jumped in shock.
"Hey guys. How everyone is the evening? I hope it's been going well," Kakashi spoke nonchalantly.
"Because it's going to be better than what it was going to happen now," Zabuza said darkly from the door.
The thugs in the room paled when they saw the murderous expression in the Kiri nin's eyes.
==Gatou's Hideout - Halls==
Sasuke ran silently through some halls but stopped and paled upon hearing the screaming. Kakashi and Zabuza must have started, so it was now time for him to find Gatou's fortune.
==An Hours Later==
After an hour, Haku and Naruto only had to deal with three or four thugs fleeing from the hideout. Apparently, Zabuza and Kakashi were having too much fun inside there. Sasuke had come not long after, with four sealing scrolls filled completely with money, gold, jewelry, paintings, sculptures, and even priceless artifacts - enough to rebuild Nami ten times over and still have some left over.
Greedy, fat midget.
Finally, after the second hour passed, Kakashi and Zabuza walked out together, blood slightly covering their bodies. As Kakashi gave him the thumbs up, Naruto knew the place was clear for him. Haku smiled at his surrogate father, who had placed all their things in scrolls, but he then heard a 'pun' sound. Looking down, his eyes lit up at the small white rabbit that stood beside the swordsman.
"SANJI-KUN!"
The boy quickly ran up and hugged the little animal that jumped to his chest.
'Sanji-kun?' thought Team 7 and Naruto.
Looking at the rabbit in Haku's arms, Naruto's memory sparked up in recognition. "That's the same rabbit when we first met you guys."
The Hyoton user smiled, blushing softly while looking at Naruto. "This is Sanji-kun. I've had him for years. He is such good little rabbit."
His fingers rubbed the rabbit's ears, which are received warmly. What he didn't say much to Zabuza's relief is that the rabbit was a gift from him. If they knew that, Kakashi would never let him live it down.
Petting the rabbit himself, Naruto went inside the hideout. Time for him to go to work.
==Time Skipped==
Naruto sprinted through the compound, lacing the walls with explosive tags. He was going to make sure that there wasn't going to be any presence of Gatou in Nami (Wave) ever again. Running out, he skidded to a stop near the group, turned around instantly, transform into a hollow again as his head with horns pointed at the entrance, a maniacal smile on his face as he screamed,
"‡Cero Gigante (Extra-Large Hollow Flash")!‡" He charges an enormous Dark-Blue Cero between his horns.
A enormous-size beam of blue energy shot into the hideout entrance. The earth of the mountain shattered as a massive explosion fired upwards into the sky. Everyone else was nearly blown back by the sheer explosive force. When the explosion had died down, half of the area was on fire, and everyone, even Sanji the rabbit, turned to glare at Naruto as tiny bits of rubble rained down upon them.
*What? Too much?*
==At Tazuna's House==
By the time they got back, Sakura, Kushina, Hitomi, Sayuri and Tsunami were in a small panic. The whole village along with the rosette was wondering what was going on –and why the hell a damn MOUNTAIN just suddenly exploded in the middle of the night! When Naruto gave a rundown of what they did, the lavender pink-haired Kunoichi had a small urge to smack Naruto but resisted. Still, at least everyone was safe, and all of Nami's money could now go back to its people.
Sasuke handed the four scrolls which held the village's entire wealth over to Tsunami, and the kindly mother with tears of joy in her eyes gave the Uchiha a very surprising hug before soon giving everyone else one - save Kakashi, who got a full masked kiss on the lips.
Zabuza, while cringing a little at being hugged, was soon laughing his ass off at Kakashi. Sakura and Haku were both blushing, wishing a certain someone would kiss them, while Naruto and Sasuke both snickered. 'FINALLY' they had some blackmail material on their sensei!
Sitting on the roof of the house, the black cat yawned while looking at everyone.
==Several days later...==
Naruto had finally managed to get Sakura to forgive him for his little stunt back at Gatou's base, but it came at the price of having to take her out to dinner. Still, it wasn't too bad, as being the 'Hero of Wave', many of the shop-owners gave them discounts, making things easier for Naruto's wallet. As they strolled through the streets, chatting amiably, they both paused when they heard a little voice call out,
"Mama! Papa!"
They turned, and Sakura smiled brightly upon seeing Noriko running towards them as fast as her little legs could carry here, another of the orphans trailing behind the toddler. Sakura knelt down and scooped the girl up into her arms, and the other child accompanying her caught up to them and said, "Would it be okay if she stayed with you for a little while? The rest of us are out getting food for dinner tonight, and we can't spare anyone to watch her."
Sakura nodded her head and tickled the child's cheek, eliciting a giggle from the girl, before turning to Naruto and giving him a puppy-eyed look. Naruto just laughed and said as the orphan rushed off to join her group, "Come on. Let's go get the little munchkin some food."
Sakura turned to Noriko and giggled at her, causing the child to repeat the action as well, and they followed their male companion. But as far from Naruto and Sakura? Kushina with her hands on her mouth in surprised of how Naruto was so responsible to take care a little girl about the features of Naruto's blond hair and Sakura eyes, this girl will be like Naruto and Sakura's own daughter, Hitomi on the other that cause her heart painful for her former brother that taking care the girl on his hands, Sayuri couldn't help is awed of she had in mind of being a godmother/aunt-figure if Naruto willing to accept her honor and same goes her twin brother too.
Eventually, they came to a stand that offered a variety of dishes for them, and Naruto sat down at one of the outdoor tables while Sakura plunked Noriko onto the seat between them. As usual, Naruto got one bowl of ramen, though he also grabbed a plate of sushi and yakitori, while Sakura got some boiled umeboshi and rice with a side of sushi. For Noriko, they got her a small bowl of rice and an extra plate that they put some of their own food onto.
As the child ate away, happily content in her own little world, Naruto glanced at Sakura and said low enough so that Noriko wouldn't hear, "You do know we'll have to let her go eventually, right? I guess that's why the Academy always said something about not getting too close to the clients."
Sakura sighed and nodded her head. "I know. She's going to be heartbroken when we leave. The other orphans will be fine, but she's been all alone up until now. I don't think she even remembers who her original parents were, probably from the trauma of whatever happened to them."
They both gazed at her, and she turned her head up to look at them with her big green eyes. Smiling, Naruto fished some noodles out of his bowl with his chopsticks and put them in her mouth, which she slurped happily before returning to her own meal.
Sakura smiled as well, and she said, "I'll talk to Tsunami and see if she would be willing to take her in. At least then, she'll be with someone she's familiar with." 'Or 'I'll' take her in?'
Naruto nodded 'So am I' he thought and turned back to this food, but they all froze when they heard someone running nearby. They looked up to the street just in time to see Sasuke run by, a panicked look on his face and his hands in the air as he screamed, "OH SWEET KAMI! NO PLACE IN THE WORLD IS SAFE FROM THE SCOURGE!"
They stared after him, thinking the poor boy had finally lost his mind, until a large group of girls, ranging from the ages of ten to sixteen, all ran by after him, screaming ecstatically at the top of their lungs, "SASUKE-KUUUUUUN!"
Naruto and Sakura turned to stare at each other, before both fell off the bench laughing. And Sayuri on the table on the other for how sorry of her twin brother got herself a fangirls in Wave.
==One month later...==
Everyone one was in a slightly poor mood after the bridge was finally complete. None of the villagers wanted their saviors to leave. The orphan children had all cried the night before when the two Genin had to explain to them they were leaving in the morning, which was so hard for Naruto and Sakura because, to them, these children were their kids. Noriko especially was inconsolable, and she didn't seem to want to unwrap her arms from Sakura's neck, her toddler mind trying to think of a way to stop the young woman from leaving her. Before Naruto secretly sneaked out to rendezvous with his Moku Bunshin and he got everything the Land of Whirlpools and as Kushina or Minato doesn't deserved them to have the possession remains of the Uzushio. And also he can thank Soul Mother Kushina later.
As the child cried into her chest and kept repeating, "Mama, mama" like it was some mantra to stop her, Sakura gave a puppy-eyed look that said, 'I want to keep her,' at her teammate, hoping her fiance Naru-kun would cave in and help convince her lover let her take the toddler along, but Naruto just shook his head, with a smile on his face. "Alright, Sakura-chan, we take her with us. I've have tons of money from my business and the funds from the bank nor supplies needed to support her ourselves, and we'll be have her as a daughter on time so much that she'll be going with us. At least I decide adopted her." He declared.
"Really!"
Naruto nodded for understand and in Naruto's mindscape; His adopted parents was happy in tears of joy for having a first grandchildren and also in their world? that was their first adopted daughter they attend to raised. Back in reality; Kushina was surprised that Naruto actually adopted a child in Wave and also he decide to raised her with...with Sakura but she mentally shocked and also to hold her tears on her eyes of Naruto did considered himself as a father to the first granddaughter, but until he'll will forgive them if they could. As Hitomi? she felt rage in envy of compare Sakura as a mother to the child that he had her former brother's blond hair and Sakura's eyes and also she should been herself for adopted Hitomi and now...considered as a Aunt to Hitomi until the same thought like her mother Kushina does if he'll return home. (AN: I decide the picture compare about Naruto and Sakura's first daughter Kasumi? Link: : / fc00 . deviantart fs71/ f / 2010 / 078 / f / c / _ Hiii _ by _ Raidenss . jpg)
The little girl couldn't hold herself back anymore, and she launched herself from Tsunami's legs into Sakura's arms, wailing, "Please, Mama! No leave! Mama, Papa, no leave!"
Naruto smiled and knelt down as well. "Noriko, I think you can come home with us, but I'll will adopted. And that means you have a family, and also I will be your adopted father."
'REALLY!" Noriko exclaimed and Naruto nodded. As Noriko jump herself at Naruto's arms and said in excited. "YAY!? I have a family! I HAVE A FAMILY!"
"My, my. she sure is one special girl with high spirit." Naruto chuckle admitted.
As for the other orphans, Hikaru offered to help watch over them all until the orphanage was finished, which soon brought back their lively smiles. Some were lucky enough to be reunited with parents who had been held captive in some of Gatou's warehouses as cheap labor for his smuggling operations, so the amount of actual orphans left was fairly easy for the fisherman to handle.
Speaking of Tsunami, both she and Kakashi were having a little trouble themselves, mainly due to their constant blushing and resisting the urge to jump at each other and start role-playing chapter 8 of Icha Icha Master, but promised as well to write each other when both had the chance. As Kushina growl but she replace sigh of what Kakashi did, but as Kakashi made a mental note for he'll make some novels like Jiraiya does.
Sasuke, on the other hand, seemed rather nervous and looked like the moment one of his new fan girls moved towards him, he was getting the hell out of there, team or not. Still, at least it felt nice to be appreciated for something he'd actually done than just being from the Uchiha clan... he has 'someone' already before Naruto and Sakura. As Sayuri can't help for how sorry of her twin brother having a fan-girls here in Wave. But I feet sorry for the Quincy Trainee.
Zabuza, Haku and the Demon Brothers watched quietly as Team 7 and Gotei Squad plus with Noriko on Naruto and Sakura's hands said their farewells and left. Watching the nine leave until they became specks in the distance, Tazuna snapped his fingers.
"We forgot to name the bridge."
"Well, what should we call it, Tou-san?" Tsunami asked, hefting the now-sleeping Noriko into a better position.
Before he could speak, Hikaru spoke up. "So help me, if you call it the Great Tazuna Bridge, I will kill you right here, right now."
The old drunk paled while the others laughed, and Inari spoke up next.
"The Great Naruto Bridge."
Tazuna nodded in agreement while ruffling his grandson's hair. "The great maelstrom, which pulls all things together."
==At Kumogakure==
"Raikage-sama, I have a scout here to see you."

But since the Gold and Silver Brother were dead from they were eaten by the Kyuubi herself in her stomach by eaten it's chakra meat. But since "A" is earn the title as the Yodaime Raikage since his father was dead for defeat the Hachibi? But there's no reason of what cause of his Death?
"I have important information for you, Raikage-sama." the Kumo-scouts said. The Raikage merely settled into his chair.
"What kind information?" Raikage asked.
"Information about Konoha's S-Rank Ninja," Kumo-scouts informed. This shocked Raikage. Scouts gave him all information about Naruto Kurosaki? Raikage heard the rumors from Konoha that his reputation is a complete.
"What!" Raikage said angrily. "Black Katana...Unknown jutsus...Blue-Black unknown chakra...Jutsu unlike Shunshin or Hiraishin, he transforms into a monster that similar then a Jinchiruki, and he is only 13. Then I want you to add this ninja, under an S-rank, with flee on site order." Raikage ordered.
"I have information in the scroll to you that I think you may find interesting, especially considering the upcoming Chuunin Selection Exams." the Kumo-scouts said.
"A Genin?" Raikage asked.
"Yes, I have a scroll from the same person he gave me and he said he request it for not tell everyone from the Elemental Nations, otherwise it will be not risk himself of give his information for his reputation." As the scout throw the scroll and as unrolled it and read it and then with a whistle. "Tokubetsu Genin. That's a new!"
"Yes," Kumo-scouts said with certainty, "This Tokubetsu Genin, under a High S-rank, and Engaged-on-sight warning."
"No Genin has ever been assigned anything above a low C-rank with a capture on sight. But a Tokubetsu Genin is a new Rank from Sandaime Hokage's developed or Nidaime Hokage's idea. What makes this guy so good?" Raikage asked.
Kumo-scout said, "Konoha has been hiding good Ninja, Konoha's called him Black Savior in civilian and ninja population called him from the rumors and there's another name on the scroll is..."
