Chapter 8

Naruto awoke the next morning and went down stairs "hey" Naruto said when he say his sensei "you know you could have gotten killed yesterday" Kakashi said "but I didn't now did I in fact I almost beat him" Naruto said triumphantly "yes and if that hunter ninja didn't arrive you would be dead right now" Kakashi said

"You're just pissed I did better than you could" Naruto shot back at him which earned a grumble from Kakashi and got Naruto smiling "Well it's nice to see that everyone's alright" came the drowsy voice of Tazuna "Hey old man" Naruto said waving at Tazuna who just gave a grunt before taking another gulp of his sake

"Hey Kakashi is it just me or shouldn't we be training for when Zabuza and that hunter ninja return" Naruto asked "And why should we do that you afraid?" Sasuke asked with arrogance in his voice "No I almost lost against one so you would get your ass kicked in half the time Kakashi did by one not to mention two" Naruto said with a laugh

"SHUT UP YOU BAKA SASUKE IS BETTER THAN YOU'LLL EVER BE AND HE'S THE STRONGEST YOU ONLY BEAT HIM BY A FLUKE" Sakura yelled out "Whatever you lesbian" Naruto asked getting a large blush to cover her face

"Well anyway Naruto's right you need to train only me and Naruto would be able to fight Zabuza and that girl" Kakashi said getting a scowl from Sasuke "so let's go" he then left the house with the three following behind him he lead them deep into the surrounding forest

"Ok now all you have to do is climb the tree" Kakashi said getting a confused look from Sakura and Sasuke (Naruto has already done this) "Umm sensei how does this help us?" Sakura asked clearly not understanding what he meant "Ok let me rephrase that you have to climb it without using your hands" he said with an upside down eye smile when Sakura's mouth hit the floor

"WHAT BUT HOW THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE!!!" Sakura yelled at the copy cat "Ok I'll show you what to do though I believe Naruto has already done this" Kakashi said receiving a nod room Naruto and seeing Sasuke glare at him he made a hand sign and stared walking up the closest tree surprising the two idiots (aka sakusasu)

"All you need to do is channel a set amount of chakra to your feet and then place your foot on the tree and then walk up" said Naruto getting a growl from Sasuke "Well since you do already know what to do you will be the first one to guard Tazuna and later I would like to talk to you in private later" Kakashi said jumping off the tree receiving a nod from Naruto who was now heading back towards the house to bring Tazuna to the bridge.

The following two days went by without incident Naruto met tsunami Tazuna's daughter and Inari tsunami's son and heard the story about his step-father everything was going fine until dinner of the third night everyone was quietly eating their supper when Inari burst out "WHY ARE YOU ALL TRYING SO HARD?! NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRAIN YOU'RE STILL NO MATCH FOR GATO'S MEN WHEN FACEING THE STRONG THE WEAK JUST END UP GETTING KILLED" everything was silent for a few seconds until Naruto finally said

"Whatever kid I'm nothing like you" he didn't even stop eating

"I'D HATE TO BE LIKE YOU YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS VILLAGE YET YOU'RE BEING SO NOSY!!" Inari yelled at Naruto who didn't even flinch "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ME?! YOUR LIFE IS PARADICE COMPARED TO MINE YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD LIFE CAN BE!!" this time Naruto put his bowl down and the next thing Inari knew he was pinned up against the wall looking into Naruto's empty eye socket

"YOU SEE THIS YOU LITTLE BRAT I LOST MY EYE BECAUSE OF THE HARSHNESS OF THE WORLD BUT I DIDN'T CRY WHEN IT GOT CUT OUT I JUST CONTINUED TO PUSH FORWARD I BET YOUR FATHER IS CRYING IN HIS GRAVE AT HOW PATHETIC THE VILLAGE THAT HE FOUGHT SO HARD TO PROTECT HAS BECOME I BET HE'S ASHAMED AT HOW WEAK YOU HAVE BECOME BECAUSE OF ONE DEATH ATLEAST YOU STILL HAVE YOUR MOTHER AND GRADFATHER WHO IS RISKING HIS ASS TO GO AGAINST GATO TO SAVE THIS VILLAGE BUT ME I HAVE NO ONE WAITING FOR ME WHEN I COME HOME MY LIFE IS FAR WORSE THAN YOURSE SO BEFORE YOU GO ACCUSING PEOPLE OF NOT HAVING A HARSH LIFE GET TO KNOW THEM FIRST" Naruto yelled at the boy

"NARUTO!! That's enough" Sakura said to him Naruto just threw Inari to the side before leaving the house putting his headband back over his eye and Inari ran up to his room and everyone was quiet for a few minutes until Sakura broke the silence "sensei was Naruto's life as bad as he said?" Kakashi gave a sigh

"Yes it was he even lost his eye to an… ex-ninja because before he left with Jiraiya he had fox like whisker marks on his along with the fact he was born on the same day as when his father killed kyuubi" he said surprising the two gennin still there "some of the villagers believed him to be the kyuubi reborn and tried to kill him but because of how many enemy's his mother and father had we had to keep who his parents were a secret from both him and the village so the best we could do was have a ANBU watch him most of the time until we sent him out with Jiraiya" he continued "which reminds me aren't you going to go check on him?" he asked the dragon who just gave what seemed like a laugh before laying down

"Uh sensei you said Naruto's father killed kyuubi but wasn't that the fourth?" Sakura asked getting a sigh from Kakashi

"Yes which means Naruto is the son of the fourth" Kakashi said confusing the girl

"But then why did Naruto say he didn't like his father when we were doing the introductions?" she asked

"I don't know but even if I did I wouldn't say since he would have to be the one to tell you" Kakashi said.

A few hours later Naruto could be found pummelling a rock with his chain sword from ten feet away relieving stress and remembering the conversation he had with Kakashi a few days ago when he got back from guarding Tazuna on his first watch

Flashback

Kakashi had taken Naruto out to where he was training Sakura and Sasuke a few hours earlier "so sensei what is it you wanted to talk about?" Naruto asked

"Well it's something that has been bothering me since the introductions" Kakashi said

"I already told you I'm not going to tell you my dreams" Naruto said putting his hands in a defensive position

"No that's not it I mean your father was my sensei and I know what he did to you but do you hate him?" Kakashi asked feeling the killer intent from Naruto confirmed his suspicion

"Do I hate him for sealing kyuubi into me no I HATE HIM FOR LEAVING ME ALONE IN THE WORLD" Naruto yelled at his teacher

"What do you mean he had no other choice when he used the justu there was no chance" Kakashi said

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO CHOICE THE THIRD SAID HE WOULD TAKE HIS PLACE YET HE STILL WENT AND DID IT BECAUSE IF HE WAS ABLE TO DEFEAT A DEMON LORD HE WOULD BE KNOWN AS THE STRONGEST IN HISTORY AND DIDN'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT ME!" Naruto roared at his sensei leaving him a little ticked

"I KNEW YOUR FATHER AND I KNOW HE WOULDN'T THINK LIKE THAT HE WAS A GREAT MAN AND H GAVE EVERYTHING UP TO PROTECT HIS HOME!" Kakashi yelled pissing Naruto off more

"YES ONE KRY WORD THERE HOME HE PUT THAT POOR FUCKING EXCUSE FOR A VILLAGE INFRONT OF HIS OWN SON IF HE HAD OF CARED ABOUT ME HE WOULD STILL BE ALIVE AND I WOULD STILL HAVE TWO EYES NOT ONE BECAUSE OF THOSE FUCKING IDIOTS THAT COULDN'T GET INTO THEIR HEADS THAT I'M NOT KYUUBI!!" he yelled at Kakashi

"Naruto I know how you feel I've lost everyone I cared about as well I know the pain of being alone" Kakashi said trying to calm Naruto down Naruto just began chuckle

"know how I- KNOW HOW I FEEL DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE LIVING EVERYDAY IN FEAR DO YO UKNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO THINK THAT YOUR PARENT'S JUST ABANDONED YOU" he yelled as a red aura started to form around him "DO YOU!?"

"N-no" Kakashi said with nervousness in his voice

"THEN THIS CONVERSATION IS OVER!" he said leaving Kakashi who just looked up at the sky

'I'm sorry sensei I tried to help him but I think I just made it worse' he thought

Flashback end

Naruto stopped pummelling the rock and looked up at the moon 'is it really worth it to stay in a village that hates me just for a few people.' He thought "I wish you were still alive mom" he said pressing the hilt of his sword to his chest with tears in his eyes

(Haku's POV)

Haku had gotten up early to pick herbs for Zabuza's wounds when she got to the closest place to collect the herbs she saw the blond haired boy that had almost beaten Zabuza a few days ago asleep up against a tree so she went over to the sleeping boy she bent down and began to reach towards his neck she had heard the offer that her master had gave him... she wouldn't be replaced by some boy that had appeared out of the blue.

She would not be thrown away like a broken tool that no one cared about 'is that all I am just a tool to Zabuza' she thought but quickly shook that thought out of her head and decided not to kill him she saw tears forming on the edges of his eyes and thought he was awake but when she checked he wasn't so she decided to wake him "you know you'll catch a cold if you sleep out here" she said trying to shake him awake.

(Naruto's dream)

An 8 year old Naruto was running down the streets of the Ryuzuka clan estate with Ryya on his shoulder and two emerald eyes playing with other people from his clan "Naruto-sama Kikyo -sama wishes to see you" said a elder Ryuzuka he said bye to his friends and headed home when he got their his father was standing in front of his house with his mother who was six months pregnant with his baby brother "hey mom hi dad" he said giving them a hug

"how was your day son" Arashi said rubbing his head "it was great" Naruto said "good we have someone we want you to see" his mother said leading him into the house "who is it mom?" he asked following her "well you see before you were born we made an arrangement with another clan" his father told him "what kind of arrangement?" he asked "well you see since they live outside of any village and they would only join a village if there was a marriage so we arranged a marriage between you and their head's daughter" he said Naruto gave a small frown at that "and she's the person we want you to meet" his mother told him.

His mom and dad lead him to the living room where there were two people about his parent's age now by nature Naruto was hyper and straight forward around people he knew but with strangers he was almost as shy as Hinata since he was standing between his parents "so this is Naruto eh?" the man said looking at Naruto

"Yes so where is your daughter?" Arashi asked the man looked behind him and said "Israbi you have to stop hiding" he said moving aside to revile a deep sea blue haired girl who when looked at Naruto blushed and tried to hide behind her father who just pushed her in front of him 'she kind of cute' Naruto thought with a small blush

"Naruto this is Israbi mizushu when your sixteen you two will be married so you two go get to know each other ok we'll be in the dining room" Kikyo said as she his dad and Israbi's parents left the room leaving the two alone in the room "hi my name is Naruto Ryuzuka" he said holding out his hand to the girl "h-hello I'm Israbi it's nice to meet you" she said with a smile

"you know you're pretty when you smile" he told her getting a blush from her when a explosion shook the house "come on" Naruto said grabbing Israbi's arm and dragging her out of the house when they got out side they didn't notice they were now 20 years old and Naruto was wearing a black jacket with belt buckles a red under shirt and black pants (think kira from gundam seed destiny) and his emerald eyes were now a bright yellow and Israbi was wearing a baby blue dress he saw the estate was up in flames

"DAMN IT NOT AGAIN!" he yelled out seeing the place in flames he turned around to pick up his lover only to finder her being held up by a unknown assailant "N-Naruto please don't kill me" she said "PUT HER DOWN AND FIGHT ME!" he yelled at the person who just laughed and put his other hand around her neck and tore her in two causing her blood and guts to fly everywhere (I know gruesome but it needed to be done)

"NOOOOO!" he yelled as he was covered in blood he charged the murderer as a black and red mist forming around him he grabbed the person and threw him threw a wall he then unsheathed the Ryuu-kusari and swung it full force towards the killer fully extended only to be blocked by a grey version of his blade (I forgot to mention that Naruto's blade is black with the edge being blue)

'what the hell' what the thought when he saw the blade and when the smoke around the murderer began to disappear he saw standing there covered in his wife's blood was a demonic version of him with the onigan at full power only it was different than his it was the Ultima onigan and then the demon Naruto grew wings and flew into the sky brought the dragon chain above his head already extending and swung it towards Naruto but right before it hit him he awoke

(Dream end)(Naruto's POV)

Naruto's eye snapped open with the onigan blazing and he grabbed the girl that had just woke him up and pinned her up against the tree he had just been sleeping up against with a kunai up against her neck it took him a few seconds to realize it was just a dream as he saw the pure terror in her eyes he put the kunai away and said "s-sorry about that you shouldn't sneak up on people like that" she could tell he was shaken up about something hell it would be obvious to a three year old

"Are you ok?" she asked "y-yeah just a nightmare" he told her 'that dream again' "I guess that's what happens when you sleep up against a tree" the girl said "yeah I fell asleep when training last night" he said "oh you're a ninja?" the girl asked Naruto instantly smiled and said "yeah I'm going to become the best… uhh what's your name?" he asked

"Oh my name is Haku" she said "ah my name is Naruto" he said "if you don't mind me asking Haku what are you doing out here alone it's dangerous for a beauty like you" he told her getting a small blush "I'm collecting medicinal herbs to help a friend of mine heal" she said "oh can I help?" he asked her she agreed 'her voice seems familiar' he then began to scan her thoughts (the same way he talks to Ryya).

(General POV)

Naruto had been helping Haku find the herbs she needed for a few minutes when he remembered where he remembered where he had heard her voice before "so you're the hunter Ninja that's teamed up with Zabuza" he said in a cold tone "how did you figure it out" she asked "well you forgot to change your voice which made it easy for me to put a connection between you and the hunter ninja" he told her

"So then what you are going to do?" she asked knowing that if he were to try and capture her she wouldn't be able to do anything "me nothing" he said surprising her "w-what but were enemies" she said "so I can tell you're a nice person but why are you travelling with someone like Zabuza?" he asked "he saved me from death" she said "what do you mean?" he asked she then began to tell him the story about how she gained her blood limit and how her father killed he mother and tried to kill her to how when Zabuza found her and that she had been following him ever since

"Well to me it seems like the only reason he keeps you around is because you still have a use to him" Naruto said "no! Zabuza-sama isn't like that he's like a father to me he protects me" Haku said defending Zabuza "yes because you have a use for him but say you were to lose a arm he would just throw you away like a broken tool" he told her

"No he would never do that" she told him "oh really it sounds to me that he just wants a strong army that can follow his orders to the word so what use would you have to him if you were to lose a limb?" Naruto asked seeing sadness fill her eyes "if you wish I could try to have you instated as a Konoha ninja Haku" he said

"I-I'll think about it" she said taking the herbs she had collected and started to leave "oh and tell Zabuza I have been thinking of his offer a lot more than I like" Naruto said to her before heading back to Tazuna's house 'he couldn't be thinking of joining Zabuza could he no he wouldn't' she thought before leaving
