Waterfall Village Crisis
Weeks passed and things went by quickly. Tsunade started teaching classes with Sakura Hinata and Ino in it. They started learning the basics which took so long for them to learn the basics even with their chakra control.
Now team 7 was called into Minato's office except for one problem. Kakashi was no where with us for the mission.
"Okay guys the waterfall village leader has requested for a team to escort him back to his home village," Minato said.
"Wait where's Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked.
"As you know Jonins and most Chuunins were send on missions to fill in the fact our military forces been cut short. Kakashi was one of them that I had to send," Minato answered, "So for this mission it'll be a three man squad, with you Naruto in charge."
"Me?" I responded.
"Yes you, you're the only Chuunin on your team after all," Minato responded.
Sasuke gave me a stare as he still hated being reminded about that.
"It's a simple C-rank assignment you'll meet him at the meeting point," Minato responded.
We headed out and met our client. He was a waterfall village ninja but something about him was off as he seemed scared by the littlest thing. He worn a grayish blue jacket and grey pants.
"My name is Shibuki are you my escort?" He asked.
"Yeah my name is Naruto Uzumaki, this is Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha," I responded.
We led him to the country the waterfall village was at and made it to a waterfall hiding the village.
"Lord Shibuki," Two kids shouted running to us. It turned out they were cleaning up the lake around the huge waterfall.
"Hey guys lets help them out," I suggested.
"Yeah," Sakura agreed.
Meanwhile three ninjas were coming in on us.
"Hey I heard this village has a person who was miss treated by some villagers, is that right?" I asked referring to a Jinchuuriki that I heard about.
"Well there is this one name Fu, but that's because the adults said a monster is sealed in her," the little girl said.
Shibuki glared at her for saying that. "Sorry but that's none of your business," Shibuki responded.
"Sorry, it just I actually have something in common with those like her, although I don't have a tail beast sealed in side of me, but it comes close," I explained.
We continued cleaning up after a bit.
On the top of the waterfall some rain ninjas were getting ready to attack and one of them was a former waterfall ninja. They were after what they called the Hero's water.
"You can go now that you're done," Shibuki ordered.
"Alright then let's go guys," I said, "I was hopping to meet that Jinchuuriki of the waterfall village but there's no need if our mission is done."
"Mother," one of the children shouted.
2 people came out of the forest one of them was wearing a waterfall village headband.
"Fu what happened?" Shibuki asked.
"There was a sudden attack on our village," the Konochi responded.
I could sense a demon power coming from Fu and knew she was the Jinchuuriki.
Sakura attended to the children's mother's wound.
"Sakura take these three to safety," I told Sakura, "Keep them safe."
"What about you and Sasuke?" Sakura asked.
"We'll help with the enemies," I responded.
"No you won't for all I know you might attack," Shibuki responded.
"Fu was it, are you host of a tailed beast?" I asked.
"Yeah I am what about it?" Fu asked.
"I'll show you later, but right now you guys need to trust us, we're on your side," I explained
Just then Rain ninjas jumped out of the waterfall and came at us. "Okay I'll show you right now," I responded.
Sasuke handled the kunais the ninjas threw at them.
I took out 2 scrolls and bit down on one of themand made the hand sign.
"Demon Fox Transformation-clone Jutsu!" I shouted.
I transform into my true form and several demon clones appeared as we took down all the enemies. One of them got away back into the waterfall.
My clones disappeared as I transformed back to normal.
Shibuki was quivering with fear as Fu stared at me surprised.
"Okay now that you have our trust, this officially has become a new mission," I said.
They showed us through the waterfall we hid behind some rocks.
"I don't smell any enemies," I said.
"Hold on a second," Fu said.
"Fu this isn't the time," Shibuki responded.
"You're the nine-tail's son right?" Fu asked.
"Yeah that's me," I responded.
"I heard rumors about you, good ones, like how you're trust worthy," Fu responded.
"Thanks I heard some stories about you as well, like you being host of the 7-tail beetle," I responded.
"I don't like talking about that," Fu responded.
We dived into some of the pools and swam to the other end that was where the hidden waterfall village was at.
Meanwhile Sakura was taking care of the mother when a rain ninja knock Sakura out and took the four hostage.
We finally reach the village where a giant tree stood over it. We reached shore and I was amaze by the place. Only thing missing was that no one was around.
Shibuki, who was still in the water, dived under. Just then rain ninjas went to attack us.
"Sasuke handle these guys, I'm going to find Shibuki," I ordered.
"What?" Sasuke responded as I dived into the water.
He dodge the enemies as Fu fallowed me.
"Fire style: Fireball Jutsu!" Sasuke shouted in his head making the hand signs. He blew a fireball at the rain ninjas.
Just then two of them wrap water around Sasuke stopping him in his tracks. They shocked him with electricity knocking him out.
Shibuki and Fu went under the roots of the tree where there was a shrine at. Inside was a jar of water.
"Fu I'm trusting this with you," Shibuki said handing it to her.
"Okay," Fu responded.
At the village everyone was tied up and Sasuke was hanging by the rope that had him tied to a post. More came with Sakura the kids and their mother.
"Sasuke where's Naruto?" Sakura asked.
"He went to track Shibuki," Sasuke responded.
"That's good, if they caught him, then that would of meant we're in trouble," Sakura thought.
Shibuki was watching them when he recognize one of the men as a former waterfall ninja. It turned out the man taught Shibuki everything he knows.
"What are you going to do?" I asked appearing from the tree surprising and scaring Shibuki.
"How did you get here?" Shibuki asked.
"Well the moment I got out of the water I track you down with my super sense of smell," I responded.
I look outside to see Sasuke and Sakura was captured.
"My teammates were captured, that's not good," I said, "Who are those guys, what do they want? And where's Fu?"
"Fu is protecting what they're after. Their leader is Suien and he use to be a waterfall ninja," Shibuki responded.
"Hey Shibuki I know you're here, and the 7-tail beetle's Jinchuuriki is with you," Suien shouted, "I know you're hiding so come on out and bring the hero's water with you!"
"Hero's water?" I asked.
"Its something that the village leader's duty to protect. Its water drawn from the sacred tree every 100 years, and whoever drinks it, has his chakra increase 10 folds maybe even more, we had to depend on it for strength but at the same time it cost one's lives because of it's side effect," Shibuki explained.
"And Fu is watching over it?" I asked.
"She came with me, with the power of the tail beast sealed inside of her, it was the best thing to do," Shibuki responded.
"Wait you mean you're using her to do your job?" I asked, "You just said it was the village's leader to protect it."
Suien kept threatening to make Shibuki give him what he wants. When the children shouted not too they were hit by water whips.
"Well if you're not going to do something I will," I responded.
"What can you do?" Shibuki asked.
"You forget, I'm the Nine-tail's son," I responded taking out a tag, "My teammates are captured with them and I can't break their trust. After all that's what a hero would do."
Fu was listening and decided to help.
I made the handsign and shouted, "Bat transformation Jutsu!" I transformed into a bat and flew off.
Suien was about to kill a child when I flew down and grabbed the little girl and flew away before he could hit me.
"Who are you?" Suien asked as I land the girl on a branch high.
I flew down, transformed back to normal and answered, "The leaf's demon ninja, Naruto Uzumaki."
The Rain moved so fast to punch me but I teleported out of the way. "Sorry but I can hear and smell you coming even from a mile away," I responded.
They kept trying to attack me but I summoned my tail and hit the ground causing it to shake.
I use the moment to jump out of the way.
One of them tried to hit me with a water whip when another came and stopped it. I turned to see Fu standing there.
"Now why are you so anxious to attacking him all of the sudden?" She asked.
"Its Fu," one of the villagers said.
I tackled one of the rain ninjas as Fu help keep some of the attacks away.
Shibuki was watching as Fu gave back the hero's water to help.
"Why are you fighting for a weakling like Shibuki?" Suien asked.
"Because it's my job," I responded.
"Well then," Suien said then grabbed the little girl again and threatened her, "If you take one more step she'll die."
Just then a whirlpool of water fired down and hit some of the rain ninjas. Shibuki appeared out of the whirlpool with his body glowing with his chakra.
"Let the villagers go, and fight me," Shibuki said. More rain ninjas came to attack. Shibuki made some hand signs. "Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!" Shibuki shouted. A water dragon appeared and hit the ninjas.
"I take it you drank the hero's water but left some," Suien said
"I'm going to take you down here and now," Shibuki said.
"Hidden waterfall style: water blade," Shibuki shouted. A sword made out of water formed in Shibuki's hand as Suien did the same.
They went to attack but Suien manage to brake Shibuki's blade and hit him right through to his back.
Shibuki's chakra failed as he was suffering the effects. Suien took out the hero's water from Shibuki and drank every bit of it.
His chakra charged overload cause of it.
I made the hand sign with a scroll in my mouth and shouted, "Fox Demon Transformation Jutsu!"
I transformed into my true form with all 9 of my tails whipping around. At the same time the 7 tail beetle's chakra surround Fu as she got ready to attack.
I went to attack Suien but he blocked my attacks.
I dodge his attacks as well. I knew if I had any chance to do any damage I need to use my newest techniques but there was still the side effects.
Just then Fu summoned a lightning attack that hit Suien. "Oh yeah I forgot about you," Suien responded.
Shibuki freed Sasukle and he went to attack Suien.
Fu use the moment to send another lightning attack that send Suien into the water. Suien went to attack but they dodge it.
"Hey how about a fusion attack," Sasuke said making the hand signs.
"Yeah," Fu agreed.
"Fire style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!" Sasuke thought and blew smaller fireballs at Suien.
Suien use water to block it but the fireballs turned into Kunai. Suien use his chakra to block the attack.
Meanwhile I started gathering chakra into a huge dense ball.
Fu send water attacks but Suien blocked each of them. He kicked Sasuke into the tree as Fu tried to handle him.
Sasuke manage to get up after Fu was hit into the water.
"Not even a Jinchuriki could stop me," Suien said.
Fu manage to hit Suien back as more of the 7 tails chakra appeared.
"Fire style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!" Sasuke shouted a blew a giant flames that hit Suien. Suien jumped above the air just as I wanted. "Fu Sasuke get down!" I shouted.
They turned to see I had formed a giant dense ball.
"What in the world is that," Suien responded.
I swallowed the dense ball focus chakra into it I fired a blast that hit Suien and threw him out of the village.
"What kind of power was that," Sasuke thought as I transform back to normal and collapsed.
"That attack was to much for my body to handle," I responded.
After I healed up and all the villagers were safe we were ready to go home. Shibuki was lucky as he survived the hero's water. Fu was treated as just as big hero for helping Shibuki
"Naruto good luck," Fu said.
"Hey thanks," I responded before we left.
We made it back home in one piece after 3 missions. However something was up with Sasuke ever sense seeing my attack.
A/N: I tried to add as much tension that Sasuke has toward Naruto as best as I can. But at least this is done.
Next Time: Something's up with Sasuke, and I don't know what it is. Next thing I know some sound ninjas talked to Sasuke and he left the village and knock out Sakura while at it. Now I got to assemble a squad to go after him. How will things turn out? Read to Find Out...
