Chapter 25: Who Can't Say No To Money? (Part Seven)

"Any news of your assassin, Naruto?" Kiba asked.

"Nope." Naruto replied back. The entire gang were walking down the hallway.

"You know I heard that The Fox is having trouble finding him." The blonde look at him and asked "Where you hear that?"

"The news." Shikamaru answered for the Inuzuka teenager. "It's what those Taki troops are saying."

Naruto mentally growl at them; it's been over a week since they came here. His job as The Fox is being threatened by those bigoted soldiers, and The Unicha police force are on their side. He can't focus on doing what's right without them taking credit for his work and saying such racist statements.

Naruto counter back slowly "Well, I think that maybe he's trying his best of finding Kakuzu."

Shino added "Since Taki's troops has enter Konoha, they been helping Sasuke-san's family of tracking down only random criminals. But not metahumans."

"There's that word again." Kiba started complain. "What's is that mean?"

"It's the new term of what people are being called when they have powers. Powers they been born or in an accident." Naruto answered.

"How you know that?" The blonde started sweating from his forehead, and said that he had heard it from a source.

Sasuke only look at his best friend's random expression. He's been trying to figure why Naruto's been disappearing and reappearing, sometimes with minor wounds.

He still continue his investigation by keeping quiet about it till the end of the day.

Sasuke went back to his house after school ended. He open the door and greeted with a small smile "Hey mom."

Mikoto Uchiha is a thirty-five year old fair-skinned women with long, straight black hair with bangs hanging on either side of her face and black eyes. She wears a dark purple blouse with a red-plum skirt and a light-yellow apron.

"Hello, Sasuke." She replied back with a smile and given him a hug. "How was your day?"

"Same thing as always. Is Dad and Itachi here?"

"Your father is still at the office, and Itachi just came home. He's at the back fixing his car. Tell him that lunch will be ready in ten minutes."

Sasuke enter the backyard, only to see his older brother checking the hood of his police car. He said "Itachi."

Itachi turn around and said "Hello Sasuke. How was your school?"

"Wasn't that great. I didn't even had a bad day." He lean against the car door with his arm cross before exhaling a deep sigh.

"Something bother you?"

"It's Naruto. I think he's hiding a secret from me. During class, at lunch or whenever we're doing something else, he disappears, reappears or show up with minor injuries."

Itachi was focusing on fixing the engine, but his ears were open to him. "Sounds like he's been getting into more fights lately since his last encounter with Neji." He said.

Sasuke added "Everyone stop harassing him, even the girls as well. Hibachi wouldn't want to come at least ten feet to him."

"Could it be that someone from outside of the school would want to mess with Naruto-san? Upset parents for instant."

"No." Sasuke shakes his head. "Nothing like that. When I ask about his injuries, he said it was nothing. He always made up lame excuses. It's been like this ever since the Nendo event."

"Have you try consulting this with Jiraiya-sama?" Itachi asked.

"I don't want to get Naruto in trouble if I report this." Sasuke answered. "He sees Naruto like his own son, and I find it odd since there's no similarities between him and Jiraiya."

Itachi only frowned. Unaware to his little brother, he knew about Naruto's real parents and the details that surrounded Kushina's death. He had discovered this when he was eighteen years old. He wanted to tell Sasuke about it, but his father refuses.

Itachi then said "Perhaps you should let Naruto tell you the truth if he wishes to."

"And if he doesn't?" His question wasn't answered.

Mikoto's voice call out from inside the house. "Itachi! Sasuke! Lunch is ready!" The sergeant stopped doing his work and walk inside the house.

Sasuke only reflect on the words implanted by his older brother. Like Naruto, he, too, is hiding something from him.

Back at the headquarters, Naruto deliver a punch to his uncle, who stopped it by the counter of his arm.

Jiraiya swing his fist upward, making the blonde backflip as a dodge. Naruto then jump with his left leg swinging.

Jiraiya crouches down. Naruto was then suddenly grab by the back of shirt and throw down to the ground.

Naruto quickly got up and charges with an opening fist, only for to be caught off guard by Jiraiya's leg making contact on his right torso.

The blonde flashes in front of the old man's face with another punch attack, which he deliver it successfully.

"Heh, that didn't hurt." Jiraiya chuckled while rubbing his cheek. "Let's take a break."

Naruto came by with two water bottles and a towel on his shoulders. He toss his uncle the bottle to him.

Naruto asked "Any news of what my sensei are up to, dattebayo?"

Tsunade answered "They're on the streets looking on the Taki troopers."

"When will they be back?" Anko's voice then called out.

"Right as you expected, gaki." He turn around and saw his teachers standing in the training mat.

"Report." She demanded.

Kakashi answered "Taki troops has captured a hoodlum gang who were attempting to rob a family. They had use brutal force to sustain them before they pleaded to be arrested."

"And the Uchihas?"

"They're allowing this to continue, with the expression of Fugaku Uchiha saying otherwise. Other than that, his own army didn't lay a hand of either of them to stop the beating."

Gai scornfully added "It's unyouthful of what they're doing in our city. Saying that mutants are crude and our way of methods don't tolerant."

Anko said "Why don't we go confront the mayor of Taki and tell him about this?"

"That's not highly possible, Anko." Iruka answered. "The mayor is against this ruling, but the elders aren't not. Seeing that it was one of them who propose the idea."

"And we can't talk to dad about this." Asuma added. "As long as they're here, we can't lay a hand on the troopers."

Naruto growled "This suck. Now I'm gonna have to listen of what they say about me and take my credit of the work."

"What do you expect? They're intolerance." Anko said in the same tone as the blonde. "That's what everybody are; they think we're the monsters here. This is the reason we can't show our powers in front of everyone, even if there's a crisis."

"Maybe people had change." Naruto replied, making the purple haired women scoffed at the idea.

"Trust me, gaki. We saw how people reacted when they see a metahuman. One chance of showing our abilities, and they freak out and call you names. In Konoha, they're like that. Around the world is the same, but different."

Asuma added "They're not gonna change. Even when my old man has made new laws and Tobirama-sama's old laws, this can't change their minds."

Seeing the look on her godson's face, Tsunade look at him and said "Naru-chan, there's some things that we can't change even when our darkest hour come. Everyone will see us of what we are. Me and Jiraiya saw the looks and expression of their faces when metahumans first resurfaces. They used to worship them as gods like my grandfather. But throughout the years, they became cold and reluctant towards them because they believe that one day, they'll turn on them."

Shizune added "So in order to be saved, we all hide our powers ever since."

"But don't you guys ever used it again for a future crisis, dattebayo?" Naruto asked.

Kakashi answered "We haven't fought a metahuman since the third war." Unknown to the blonde, the young adults, plus Jiraiya and Tsunade, all flinches of mentioning that.

"Kakashi!" Iruka scolded. "He isn't ready to hear that!"

"Wait, there were metahumans in the war?" Naruto repeated his answer.

"Yes, metahumans were in the war, but they're all gone." Kurenai answered without revealing anything. "This is what we thought that there wasn't one left."

Naruto asked, but his aunt stop him. "We can't tell you more about it. It's a sensitive topic that we wouldn't talk about." The blonde nodded, but still has his new sudden thoughts of it.

Meanwhile, in the Fire Lord President's office, Shibuki is trying to get some paperwork done. Since the troopers invaded Konoha, he, along with the elders, had temporarily been located for an office as part of the agreement made by Henken.

Suddenly, the door open up, revealing Yoro who yelled "Shibuki-sama, we have Fu!"

A sigh escape from his lips and replied "Bring her in."

Fu was being escorted inside the office with Kegon; she had a deep scowl on her face and arms crossing.

"Do you really had to let them get me, dad?" She asked.

"Yes." Shibuki answered. His eyes look at her. "Fu, this isn't vacation. We're only here because of the situation."

"I know, I know. Finding the assassin and his two hunters." Fu repeated while rolling her eyes.

Kegon yelled "Show him some respect!"

"What exactly have you done now, Fu?" The mayor asked.

"Why would you think whenever I sneak out, you always assume that I had done something-"

Yoro interrupted "She stole an apple from a grocery store."

"In my defense, this never would had happen if you given me some money." Fu criticizes him.

Shibuki said "Fu, you can't go outside even if we're not in Taki."

"But this isn't Taki! Why can't I go out and explore the city for a while?! I can't even walk the park without the wonder brothers tailing me!" She pointed at the two bodyguards.

"I'm sorry, Fu, but because of your...condition, and people's views against metahumans, I cannot allow you to go."

Fu glared "Once again you're siding with them." She said with venom in her tone.

"Fu-" Shibuki only saw her back being turned and left the office in a huff.

Kegon asked "Shall we go after her?"

"No, let her be." The mayor only glance sadly at the teenager.

Fu slam the door in her temporary room; her father had requested of sending her to a nearby hotel room with her two brothers guarding the entrance.

She went inside her bedroom before closing the door and jumping on the bed with an angry huff.

"What's seem to be the problem, Fu-neechan?" A tiny feminine voice call out. It almost sounded like very childish.

"Just my dad telling me that I can't even explore this city for a while." She complained.

"Sounds like you got caught by your two brothers, huh?"

"Yeah, and just after when I meet someone."

"You meet someone?!" The feminine voice became cheery. "Tell me!"

Fu smiled "His name is Naruto Uzumaki."

"Uzumaki? Isn't he the boy that Kakuzu is hunting down?"

"Mmm-hmm. I also meet his adorable fox, Kurama! And the best part is right as I was being dragged away by my two baka brothers, he said he'll see me around and knows my name!"

"That's so cooool! So are you gonna meet him again?"

"I like to, but I can't if my idiotic dad send his boys on me and keep me locked up in here."

"Well, there's one way without being seen by them." Fu's orange eyes widen before lifting her head up.

"I can't do that, Chomei-chan! You know that my dad's troopers are there!"

"But if you fly really fast-" Fu then sweat dropped from her right forehead.

"You always known to keep that happy attitude do you, Chomei-chan?" Fu started thinking for a moment and said with her entire body lift up "On second thought, I'll do it!"

Chomei squealed as Fu jumped out of the bed "Thatta girl! You mind me tagging along? I wanna see this city as well."

"Of course!" Fu flashes a small smile at her 'sister'. "We are like sisters!" She walk towards a large tank, and inside it was a large green shelled beetle with seven mini tails in the back and small red eyes. The larval was three and a half feet long.

Fu carries her out of the tank and the creature latches herself on the girl's chest. She then added two extra clothing on her attire. A large jacket and short khakis.

With Chomei still latch herself, Fu zipped up the jacket to shield her. She walk over to the window and open it, releasing the fresh air inside.

"Ready?" She eyed on the insect, which she gives a cry 'Yes!" Fu jumped out of the window and, with insect wings opening of her back, flew across the sky.

Sasuke was in his room after finishing his lunch. His mind is still racing over his best friend. Naruto has been his friend since they stopped fighting around the time he came to Konoha. He had never kept secrets to him. Sasuke always knew what's bothering him like the fact he gets bullied by almost half of the population of Konoha High. Now he sees him as a different person; he fights back his tormentor, won in a fight with Neji Hyuga and disappear and reappear out of nowhere.

He laces his fingers together and try to think of what's happening to his friend. Becoming friends with Naruto had lead him introducing his godparents. He remember at Naruto's fifth birthday party, when Kiba asked about his parents, Jiraiya or Tsunade quickly chances the subject. He even saw Itachi discussing with them along with his father. He had a feeling that Itachi knows something about Naruto and he isn't telling him. His train of thought was interrupted by the sound of his older brother's police car.

Sasuke look at his window and saw Itachi driving away to his work. Now he has an advantage.

He sneaks out of his room and carefully walk to the door of his older brother, which just also happen to be his office.

He grips on the doorknob and found out that it was locked. Sasuke then went back to his room and came back later with a swiss army pocket knife that his father gotten him from his thirteenth birthday.

He lift up one tool, a door picker, and inserted on the keyhole. Carefully, he slowly twist it to the right and heard a tiny click.

Sasuke open the door and step inside the room before closing it again. He flip another tool of his swiss army, which was a small flashlight.

He shines it on his older brother's room before he moves it to a large file cabinet. Sasuke saw there were seven cabinets in front of him.

He crouches down to the sixth cabinet. Sasuke knows that his older brother will always locked up important police files.

Taking out his lock picking tool, he unlock it and open the cabinet, revealing lots and lots of files. He scan them with his flashlight and his right hands dig his fingers through them till he was at the 'U' section.

Sasuke search and search for the file that had the surname 'Uzumaki.' But to his surprise, it wasn't there.

Then he was startled by a voice.

"Looking for something, Sasuke?"

Sasuke turn around, and Itachi, who flipped off the lights from his bedroom, was in the room with his onyx eyes staring at him.

Fu was still up at the sky while being covered by the clouds she could merge with to avoid being spotted.

"What does this Naruto follow look like, neechan?" Chomei asked from inside her orange sweater.

Fu answered "He's sixteen, has blond hair, blue eyes, whisker on his face, wears orange clothing like me and has a fox on his side."

"That should be easy to find him!" Chomei said in a child-like voice. "He wears orange clothing and has a fox with him!"

Fu dived down a bit from the clouds until her orange eyes saw the street of Konoha. She smile upon seeing the many buildings and the people living here. It was simply amazing to her opinion. She just hoped that people aren't like the citizens from Taki.

She frown for a bit, but shake it off. She want to concentrate on finding his new friend. Fu gasped as her eyes pick up on a certain orange wearing teenager with a bag in his hands. She fly down more to see that the red-orange clothing had a large fully tail waving around.

"I see him!" She cheerfully cried. Fu flies down to nearby alley and land safely on the ground. The insect wings from her back dig down within.

She said to her larval sister "You stay quiet, Chomei."

"Aww!" Chomei pouted. "But I wanna see this Naruto fellow and his pet fox!

Fu ignore her 'sister's' whining and walk over to Naruto's direction with a shout 'Naruto!'

The blonde turn his head around and his face turn to a surprise expression. "Fu?"

"Hiya friend!" Fu put his hand up as a wave and greeted with a smile.

"What are you doing here, dattebayo?" He asked.

"I just want to see you and this whole city!" Fu started petting the blonde's fox inside the bag. Kurama's head pop out and lick her face while yipping.

"But what about your bodyguards?"

"Don't worry." She lied with her hand waving. "I talk them of me going out on my own without supervision. Anyways, what are you doing?"

"I was about to hang out with Kiba, Shino and Hinata at the mall, dattebayo." Naruto said. "You wanna come along?"

Fu gasped over the blonde mentioning of his friends. 'He has friends?' She never expected her new friend has more friends. Suddenly, a thought came to her. 'What if they don't like me? What if they'll reject me and he rejects me as well?'

Shaking off the thoughts, she answered by standing up "Yes, I will come." Naruto resume walking with Fu on his side.

From the teenage girl's orange sweater, Chomei saw the appearances of the blonde and mentally sequel in Fu's head.

"Oooh, he's so gorgeous! Those blues, and those lovely whiskers! They're like fox's whiskers! Speaking of foxes, I just love his pet!"

Fu replied back in her own mind "Keep it together, Chomei. You're already beginning to sound like one of those fangirls from Taki. I pray I never have to seen one."

Kurama then talk to Naruto by telepathically. "Naruto, I have a strong feeling about that girl. You should be careful with her."

"Hey, she's nice, dattebayo. Plus, Fu's not like the other girls from school." Naruto argued back.

Kurama didn't reply back, except seeing the girl with his red eyes. When Fu petted him, his entire body reacted strangely of her surroundings. That, and getting a few bugs that somehow manage to get attached.

At Konoha Mall, Fu step inside and gasped with her eyes glazing and her mouth hanging in awed of seeing what her surroundings.

Naruto only chuckle at her reaction before his eyes saw his three friends at the food court.

Kiba glances at his blonde friend and shouted "Naruto, over here!" Shino and Hinata both look at his direction.

However, the three were surprise of seeing the dark tanned skin girl at Naruto's side. Kiba whispered at Shino "Who's the babe?"

Shino answered "No idea."

Hinata's expression was filled with surprises. She thought that Naruto couldn't hang around with any girl who has negative views upon him, except for Hinata. Now there's a girl at her crush's side.

As Naruto and Fu came to their attention, Kiba asked "Naruto, who's the lady?"

"This is Fu." Naruto said. "Fu, this is Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, and Hinata Hyuga."

"Hello!" Fu said with a smile.

"Greetings, Fu-san." Shino said.

Kiba flashes a dog-like grin at her "What up, girl?"

"It's nice to meet you." Hinata smiled at the dark tanned skin girl.

Both Naruto and Fu sat down on the chair and the blonde asked "What you guys wanna ordered?"

Kiba exclaimed "I'm in the mood for some barbeque meat!" Both Shino and Hinata shake their heads in agreement.

Naruto turn to Fu and asked "Would you like some as well, dattebayo?"

"I…" She hesitated to answered since she never tasted any new food before beside only eating some rice cakes and vegetables. "I...never had this kind of food before."

"For reals?" Kiba became surprise. "What, are you on a diet? It's no wonder. You're all bony and skinny."

Shino then kick him underneath the table, making his whine. "Forgive him, Fu-san, for his insensitive nature."

"It's alright." Fu said with a wave.

Naruto said "Let's just order what we can agree on and have Fu get the first taste."

"Sound agreeable, Naruto-kun." Hinata replied before seeing the blonde get up from his chair and walked to a nearby restaurant.

After being caught by his older brother red-handed, Sasuke said "I was looking-"

"For Naruto-san's file." Itachi finishes his little brother's sentence.

Giving him a hard glared, Sasuke replied "You knew something about Naruto. I demand to know what it is."

Itachi only stared at him for a short moment before asking "Do you trust Naruto-san?" Sasuke nodded his head. "Will you still hold that trust for him?"

"Yes."

"And will you not see this new information about him, but rather see him as you always know him for your entire live?"

"Yes." Sasuke saw Itachi digging out his police coat and taking out a file. He handed it to Sasuke's hand, which he was bewildered.

"I knew that you will come of finding out the truth about Naruto-san and his real family." Itachi said. "So I took it and stand about ten feet away from the house until the alarm from my cabinet went off." He walk to his door with his hand on the handle before adding "Just make sure you put it in the proper place. Don't want father to find out about it. With that, Itachi left the room.

Sasuke's eyes look on the file and on the tab stood the name 'Kushina Uzumaki.'

At the mall, a woman gasped loudly and letting out a tiny shriek. The entire staff freezes at the horror display in front of them.

Naruto, Hinata, Kiba and Shino all had the same expression on their faces, even Kurama, who peak out of the bag, saw what was going on and retreat back with a whimper.

Fu was chowing down on her fifth chicken barbecue leg and digging on her eighth rice bowl before slurping her drink.

In front of her were piles of empty bowls and chicken bones. When Naruto brought back the food, they let Fu get the first bite. As soon as she eat her first barbecue meat, her orange eyes bugged out and she started devoting all the food. At least she offers her share of the food to Naruto and his friends before eating it all. She even offer Chomei secretly while they weren't looking.

'Dear kami.' Naruto said with a sweatdrop in his forehead. 'She's like a second Choji and me when it comes with ramen. And where does she keep all the food?'

Kiba, despite being in shock at the new girl eating all the food, grinned and lean in on Shino "I think I'm in love. Or at least Choji will when he meets her."

Shino only started at the dark-tanned skin girl and felt a slight aura around her. He could feel the bugs that has started swimming around, but most of them had landed on her and didn't freak out.

Hinata started out slowly and said "Fu-chan, don't you think you had...enough?"

Fu then lay out a huge burp, disgusting the crowd and forcing mothers to either cover their kids' eyes or pushing them away from 'the crazy girl'.

"I'm sorry what were you saying?" Fu said to the Hyuga teenager.

"Nevermind."

Shino cleared his throat and asked "Fu-san, tell me about you. Where do you come from?"

"From Taki. I came with my dad. He's the mayor." Fu answered while tapping lightly on her swollen belly.

Kiba asked "So he's the reason why there's troopers from that city are here?"

"Just so they can find Kakuzu and bring him back to our town for imprisonment."

"You seem to be popular here when it comes of being the daughter of the mayor." Hinata said.

"I wish I was popular, considering that I never been out before."

Hinata became surprised by her statement. "You never been out?"

"My dad is very protective of me. He always send his bodyguards to retrieve me whenever I'm out for about ten minutes." Fu said, only to frown at it.

"I get it." Kiba nodded his head. "Overprotective father."

Naruto asked "Is there a reason why you never been out before?"

Fu only stopped after the blonde asked her the question. She can't reveal to him about the real reason why she was kept from the outside world for so long.

"Well…" Fu started, but a loud explosion from the right made her stopped.

Naruto and his friends reacted in warning with the latter seeing the massive hole from the destruction.

From the thin smoke came three people whom all enter the building. The crowd froze in shock and horror of the individuals, one of them they recognized.

Zabuza, the mysterious hunter known as Haku, and a large man in a weaponized suit. Almost 90 percent of his body was all robotic except his dark skinned flesh on the right biceps and neck.

The man's helmet automatically open up, revealing the ex-bounty hunter face with his scars now visible.

Naruto's blue eyes widen while Kiba shouted "It's Kakuzu!"

Kakuzu turn his head toward the blonde and with two snaps on his fingers, he ordered "I want him alive. The rest, I don't care."

Zabuza glared at the man "You're not the boss of us." His brown eyes turn to security mall cops who all took out their pistols at them.

Haku then motion her hands and a gust of icy wind send them to their knees as they felt their bones freezing.

Everyone started yelling and ran to a nearby exit with Naruto leaning his friends to it as well. Kakuzu, whose helmet was closed, lifted his left arm and fire a small missile from on top of his hand.

The missile came in contact above the walls, knocking off debris to the ground and sealing off the exit.

With everyone turn the other direction, Naruto shouted at Kurama, who jump out of the bag "Kurama, protect Hinata, Kiba, Shino and Fu!"

"Got it!" Kurama yipped and dashes to the three friends. Naruto's speed slow down and went to a hideout to change.

Zabuza's hand clutches on Kubikiribocho and walk toward the screaming crowd. Haku continues on her icy winds long enough to decrease the temperature in the mall. Kakuzu fires more missiles, but with both of his hands.

Then The Fox came by and remarked to Haku "Hey, ice princess! It's too early for winter!" Haku turn her direction and fire multiple icicle from the palms of her hands.

The Fox flashes to the right to avoid them. Zabuza charges forward with his large sword. The Fox jumped at the right moment to see it crashes to the floor. However, he got hit in the face by his the former swordsman's fist, sending him to the wall.

Kakuzu then summons two electrocity whips from the palms of his hand and growled "You're mind, mutant!"

Outside of the mall, everyone was either staying for the cops to show up or fleeing the scene. Hinata, Kiba, Shino and Fu all stopped running with the Inuzuka saying "Where's Naruto?"

Hinata turn her head around to see her crush before saying in a worried tone "I think he's back there!"

Kurama came by while yipping. Fu look at him before seeing the mall, now at the start of its destruction.

"Neechan, Naruto-kun is in trouble! You know what you have to do!" Chomei cried telepathically.

Fu had a face with determination and proclaim at the three friends "I'm going back for him!" She then run back, despite the warning of them and Kurama chasing after her.

Kakuzu move his arms to match the whips distance on the crimefighter, whom he was dodging. Kurama's voice was heard from inside the blonde's head.

"Naruto, Fu is coming to get you!"

"What?!" The Fox loses his focus and got whipped across the chest, sending him to the ground. Kakuzu raises a one whip to end the blonde's life, but suddenly a swarm of insects came around him.

Zabuza and Haku stop their attack to see the bugs around their third member. The bugs came out of the circle and hit the huntress, making the icy winds cease.

The large ex-swordsman cover his eyes with his right arm as protection. "What's with these bugs?!" Zabuza growled.

The Fox saw the millions and millions of insects coming from out of nowhere. He turn around and reacted in shock of seeing the one who's doing this.

The dark tan skinned teenage girl, with her insect wings up, was up in mid-air and her hands up while the bugs were swarming to the three hunters.

"Fu?" Naruto said in his own voice.

Kurama came by to search Fu, only to see her powers against the villains. He said "I was right."

Haku's right eye open up to see her doing this before yelling "Zabuza, that girl! She's using insect on us! She's a metahuman!"

Both the hunters reacted in shock; Zabuza for seeing not one, but two metahumans in front of him, and Kakuzu for his luck turning to a direct turn.

"This is my lucky day." He smiled, despite being surprise. "I kill her instead." The whips regenerates more electricity and slashes the swirl of insects, killing about a hundred.

Fu started yelling loudly, causing her to lose her flight. The other bugs that are distracting both Haku and Zabuza were reacting to her pain as well.

Kakuzu pull back his whip and throw it around her torso, electrifying her entire body and howling in pain.

The Fox then reappears in a orange flash and swift kick the ex-bounty in the face, releasing Fu from his captive.

Haku blow ice breath from her mouth, freezing some of the prison bugs before they died of hypothermia.

Fu felt the shivers going down her entire body like it dropped her warm guard. Zabuza saw her in disadvantage and walked towards her while clutching the heavy sword.

The Fox appears in front of him and send a punch across the face. The former swordsmen growled "Stay outta of my way, brat!"

"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?!" The Fox yelled in his disguise voice. Zabuza brought down his sword at the crimefighter's level.

The Fox jumped out of the way, and the bugs hit Zabuza in the chest. Fu was on her feet again, despite still feeling cold. Haku was attempting to blow another ice breath. The dark skin tanned teenager girl exhales enough air and release. Instead of invisible air, sparkling substance blown out of her mouth.

Zabuza's eyes had gotten some of the substance. Now being blind, he waves his heavy sword carelessly to attack his target.

The Fox jumped and sent his two feet at the former swordsman's chin hard enough to send him to the ground.

"Zabuza!" Haku cried before turning to the other metahuman. She was attempting to use icicles at her, but The Fox stopped her with swift kick on her left knee, followed by an elbow punch on her mask.

Kakuzu then fire a missile at The Fox, now knowing that he was also targeting the huntress. Zabuza saw this before crying "Wait!"

It was too late; the missile was launched. The Fox reacted by throwing a kunai blade. They both collided and the missile exploded.

The impact send the crimefighter flying before landing on the ground. Haku flew away than him and her back break a table.

"Haku!"

Kakuzu's aim targets at The Fox, but before he fires again, he was meet by a punch in the face. He look up and saw the former swordsmen in his furious expression.

"What are you doing?! We're in the same team!" He yelled.

Zabuza ignores him and attempts to go at Haku's aide. She wasn't moving. He presses two fingers at her neck, and found a pulse.

He then carries her in bridal style and Kakuzu yelled "Get back here and fight them!"

"She has a concussion." Zabuza said while being angry at him. "We have to report back to Danzo."

The Fox, who was right beside them, overheard his statement and repeated "They're also working for Danzo?"

Kakuzu was torn apart between two; one, he wanted to kill the two mutants, one of which he had engaged in a fight on his first day in Konoha and the other, he doesn't want to disobey his new boss.

Letting out a frustrated growl, he walk over to them. Kakuzu then fire a bomb in his hand, which exploded into thin air.

Both The Fox and Fu saw the dark grey smokes around them for a few seconds. Once it disappear, The Fox discover that three hunters were gone.

He then walk over to Fu and asked "Are you okay, miss?"

"I'm okay." Fu lay out a smile. "A little bang up."

"Naruto!" Kurama then came up, whom he started talking. Fu became surprised and said while pointing her finger at the creature "Did he just talk? And did he call you Naruto?"

The Fox sighed, using his real voice "Damn it, Kurama."

Fu heard the same blond's voice and lean her head forward before repeating "Naruto?"

"Neechan!" Chomei cried in her 'sister's' sweater. "Naruto-kun is like you!" Fu unzipped her jacket, revealing her larval sister.

"The hell is that?!" He shouted with Kurama in shocked as well.

Both of them heard commotion outside and most of them were inside the building. Fu said to him "It's not safe to talk."

Naruto reminded "You own me an explanation." He grabs Fu's hand and Kurama's head with the other.

"You too." The four of them then disappear in a orange flash.

Meanwhile, in the Uchiha household, Sasuke was in his room. He was taking short breaths and repeating 'Oh, my god' over and over again like he had just discover something he wasn't suppose to see.

In front of him was the file that contain Naruto's mother, Kushina. Upon opening it, his nightmares and worries of his friend grew more than he would had expected. This explains why he barely talk about his parents and why his godparents always changes the subject.

All that he knows is that his best friend is in real trouble.

So let's recap of this; Sasuke's suspicious over Naruto had lead him to discovering the truth about his parents, The adults mentioning metahumans in the war, Meeting Chomei, but in her larval stage (She'll grow into her adult stage on the next chapter), and Fu possessing the powers to control bugs and reacting in injury whenever they're in pain. Next chapter is Fu gonna tell Naruto her origin, Danzo's plan, there's gonna be a dance in Konoha High, where Naruto and Hinata share a dance, Neji's growling anger and Sasuke's confession of what he had found out to his blonde friend, and finally The Uchiha is gonna get a huge surprise in the end. I was thinking of giving him powers. Since he had the Sharingan, I was thinking of giving him the same powers as Daredevil, except he won't be blind. What do you guys think? Also, the next arc is the Sasori's storyline. I'm already getting tired of putting much effort of the story so I'm gonna tell you a short summary on the next arc, but no spoilers. Garra and his siblings are coming to Konoha as new students, Naruto and Sasuke are teaming up, Sakura is gonna get a huge role in the story and has superhuman strength as her powers, Neji is gonna be the second villain before finding redemption, Sasori also comes in as the main villain, Naruto's friends will have powers that they don't know and lastly, Tobi is coming out. I know all of you loved this favorite villain. If you guys has some ideas for the current arc, or the next arc, put it on your reviews or sent me a message. Anyway, that's all I can say. I'm NiteOwl18 and I'll see you all later.
