~SILENCE~
Naruto lifted his head as consciousness came over him and wiped the blood from his eyes, but he quickly stared in shock at what stood in front of him. "Sasuke!!!!" He caught the porcupine body of the dark-headed boy and set it slowly on the ground at his knees. "Sasuke!" he murmured.
"N-Na-ru-to…" he heard the unusually weak voice from the Uchiha, "I… de-fended y-you just like a… a brother w-would," Sasuke gave a weak smile, and almost instantly, the Sharingan eyes faded and then they closed.
"Sa-Sasuke…" Naruto said slowly as he hung his head, his eyes out of view. Around him, a demonic aura began to thicken.
---- Inside the Seal ----
"RAAHH!!! Let me kill that son of a bitch!" Kyuubi began to be blinded by the rage felt by Naruto.
"Kyuubi-sama, CONTROL YOURSELF!!! You're going to get Naruto-kun under your bad youki's influence!!" Arashi tried as best as he could to make the nine-tailed giant calm, but it was obvious that his connection with the Jinchuuriki would channel the current feel.
---- Normal view ----
"You… you killed my brother…" Naruto said and lifted his head to look directly at Haku, his now fox-like, red eyes with slit pupils oozing enormous amount of killer intent, "YOU'LL PAY WITH YOUR BLOOD FOR THAT!!!" In the eerie light reflecting from the crystal mirrors, the features on his face were more noticeable, his deepened whisker-marks, and his much spikier hair; his sharper nails and canines were also visible.
Haku froze in place, "This chakra, the boy… what in the world?!" He moved from his mirrors as quickly as possible as he saw Naruto begin attacks towards the mirrors.
"COME HERE YOU FUCKING COWARD!!!" Naruto yelled as he flew from the mirrors and floated in the middle as he stared at the reflections of Haku in each of them. He smirked and slowly began to laugh evilly, "NOTHING YOU'LL DO WILL AFFECT ME!" He began to gather enough chakra at his center and released it all at once, sending a chakra wave through the mirrors, which seemed to do the trick and each began to shatter.
"No way, what is this kid!!!" Haku threw himself off the last mirror and was immediately picked up by the clawed hand of the blonde.
"PREPARE TO DIE!!!" Naruto said as his wings were expanded behind him, the feathers looked affected by the youki, making them as sharp as blades.
"Kill me, quickly," Haku said with no hesitation.
Naruto was taken aback by the expression, "YOU'RE WILLING TO DIE SO EASILY?!"
"Of course," Haku took off his chipped mask, "I would willingly die for Zabuza-sama for I am his tool."
The words this boy that looked a few years older than him left him surprised, but his demonic aura never moved. "A tool?! A TOOL?!!! YOU STUPID BRAT, HOW COULD YOU SIMPLY ADDRESS YOURSELF AS A MERE TOOL TO THAT FOOL THAT CALLS HIMSELF A 'DEMON'! AM I NOT THE THING HE CLAIMS TO BE?!"
"Yes, you have made yourself clear that you're a demon, but, I am a tool. I was taken in by Zabuza-sama because I was near death and he took care of me, so in debt of what he did, I became his tool. My everyday goal is to make sure I am of service to him, but in this moment I am but a mere blunt item that is to be discarded."
"You fool," the youki influenced Naruto threw Haku to the ground and stared at him. "Go to your master as you please." He walked off back to Sasuke's body.
----
Haku couldn't believe what he was hearing. This demon kid was letting him go? He watched quietly from the spot he was let down at the blonde, who made his way towards the boy he called 'brother'. Suddenly, he heard something that made his heart skip a beat. "ZABUZA-SAMA!!!" He went off running towards the finale of the battle between Kakashi and Zabuza.
----
Naruto calmed himself down and felt as the aura disappeared. His eyes took his cerulean color and their pupils their roundness, his hair became the usual spikiness, his teeth became normal and so did his whisker-marks and nails. He walked slowly towards Sasuke and took off all the senbon.
\\Arashi-san, I need the doujutsu again to be activated. \\
"Of course."
Instantly, blood began to run down his face and he used his hand to wipe some and began to apply them on the poisoned wounds on his friend. "Come on, he's still alive, but his pulse is slowing by the second!" Right before his eyes, he saw that the blood, as said by Kakashi, can be used to heal wounds, the wounds were healing quite rapidly and a transparent liquid ran from it. The breathing on Sasuke stabled and Naruto placed him on his back, but he got distracted as he heard Haku yell his "master's" name.
----
Kakashi's eyes widened as his Chidori hand rammed through Haku's chest, he could tell Zabuza was also shocked, to say the least, that his apprentice had done that to save him.
"Haku!" Zabuza yelled as the damaged body of Haku fell beside him.
"Za-buza-sa-ma…" he said almost out of voice.
"Haku, you were so much more than just a tool to me…" Zabuza said, "You were a reliable partner and friend ever since I found you."
Haku's misty eyes stared confusedly at Zabuza. "I'm… glad, Zabuza-sama… g-good bye…" he drew his last breath and closed his eyes, his face looked rather peaceful.
Zabuza growled in anger, but he cocked his head forward as he heard someone clap.
---
Kakashi stared at the scene before him, he couldn't help but feel uneasy, but he heard footsteps run towards him and saw the dark cloaked blonde run towards him.
"Naruto, what happened?" he asked. "Is Sasuke…?"
"Yeah, he's alright, I, uh, had a chance to clear the poison in him with my…" he pointed at his eyes.
Kakashi simply nodded in understanding, "Where's Sakura?" and he stared to his side just when Sakura came running towards them.
"Sasuke-kun!!! Oh my Kami, what happened?!!" she yelled.
Kakashi exhaled slowly, "I'll explain later, ok, Sakura?" he said. Suddenly, a clapping noise came from a few feet away from them and they all looked at the source.
"Well, Zabuza-san, looks like you didn't even manage to kill a team of brats and the old man. How disappointing, but I wasn't going to pay you anyway," said a short man dressed in a suit with dark glasses.
"GATO! You violated the contract," Zabuza growled and stood up.
The suited man smirked, "Kill him," he addressed at the men he had around him. They all charged towards Zabuza.
"You, blondie, put that kunai in my mouth," he said to Naruto.
Naruto looked quizzically until he saw that Zabuza's arms were disfigured, almost literally destroyed, but nevertheless he placed the kunai in his mouth. Zabuza charged at the men and with surprising expertise as he swung the kunai, stabbing and slashing them and quickly killing them while making his way to Gato.
"You'll die now!" Zabuza yelled, the kunai poised at the jugular, quickly slashing it clean.
Gato didn't have time to even scream, he simply fell to the floor as the blood ran from his wound.
Zabuza finally limped and collapsed halfway, breathing heavily. "Kakashi, take me towards Haku… please," the swordsman said and was carried over to the body of his faithful friend. He laid there and stared at the cold, pale face of Haku. "I'm sorry, Haku, I know you wished to be with me always, but I surely wish I could be there where you are now," Zabuza thought and he gave a final look to everything and everyone around him and closed his eyes as his body's exhaustion took care of the rest and the dangerous feel around him disappeared.
Naruto and Kakashi stared silently and each took one of the bodies and the Kubikiri no Houcho. "Sakura, take Sasuke to Tsunami's home and escort Tazuna there, too," Kakashi said as he and Naruto began to walk towards the woods.
Sakura's cheeks turned pink, but nodded anyway, hefting Sasuke onto her back, she went towards Tazuna's location to escort him home.
Kakashi and Naruto stopped in a nice area where Nami could be seen in a great view and placed both men down gently, and then began to dig two holes. Finally, after a few hours, they had buried them both and as a symbol, they stuck the sword on the graves to let people know the legendary Demon of the Mist, Zabuza Momochi is buried there.
After paying their respects to the dead, Kakashi and Naruto made their way out of there towards Tazuna's house.
"So, Naruto, you cured Sasuke's wounds with your doujutsu. It was pretty clever, but I still have to make sure it did a very nice healing job," Kakashi said, glancing at Naruto while branch jumping.
"Yeah, I even had to ask the other voice in my head to seal away the doujutsu for a while when I was fighting 'cause it kept tearing up. He said I need to train my eyes, so they don't bleed uncontrollably," Naruto responded quietly.
Kakashi 'hmm'-ed and kept silent until they arrived at Tazuna's. They walked inside and immediately looked for Sasuke, where Kakashi checked the wounds only to find them fully healed and no poison was left in his body, so the blood did work wonderfully.
Team 7 stayed in Nami for some more weeks and took their occasional turn in helping in the bridge until it was finally done and they celebrated the grand opening of the unnamed bridge.
"Well, it looks like we're finally going back to Konoha," Kakashi said, "Thank you all very much for having us here and sorry for all the troubles that were caused."
"Ah, Kakashi-san, no need for 'sorry', you all did an amazing job. Remember to come visit us sometime!" Tsunami said.
Team 7 all said their "good-bye" and waved back and then came out of view from the family.
Inari was by Tazuna's side watching the bridge. "What name should we place on the bridge? Maybe it could be the 'Great Nami Bridge'!"
Inari shook his head in disappointment, "Why not the 'Great Naruto Bridge'?"
Tazuna smiled widely and folded his hands on his chest, "Well, that's a great name, Inari-kun," he ruffled Inari's hair and worked his way to his shop to make the bridge's name.
A/N: So, I'm gonna have to stop here, just so you all know. I'm going to post a little authors note in a separate chap so you don't worry that I'm not lazy, I'm just not getting inspiration enough. It will all be there.
