OoOoO- Naruto -OoOoO
He and Sasuke finally arrived at an area far enough away from the house. Without saying anything Sasuke's sharingan activated and he started to form hand seals.
Naruto recognized them for the great fireball. Forming a single hand seal he put up a water wall before Sasuke even finished his last seal. Steam filled the area. That took care of Sasuke's vision range. He created an Iwa Bunshin and then hid himself in a tree. The steam finally dissipated and Naruto saw that Sasuke was finishing up a hand seal sequence.
His clone dodged the spread of small fireballs. "Is that all you got teme?" His clone taunted.
Sasuke charged at his clone beginning a taijutsu match. Naruto watched in amusement as even against his clone Sasuke seemed to be struggling. Of course his clone was moving at chunin speeds. And Despite the fact the Sharingan was able to see him, he was unable to react fast enough.
"Aww look at you, trying to act all angry. You look so pitiful." his clone sneered.
"Being a bit harsh aren't you Naru-chan?" Hashirama asked from next to him.
"Maybe, but he needs to learn that just because he has the sharingan it doesn't mean that he is invincible. Besides I'm tired of him looking down on me just cause I never bothered in the academy." Naruto responded.
"I think he deserves it," Madara told them.
"Why?"
"He is constantly belliting everyone else and is further bringing shame to the clan."
"Hashi-chan, what do you think Sasuke will do if Orochimaru does find a way into the chunin exams? You know that the snake-sannin plans on offering him power," Naruto whispered.
Hashirama paused, "I'm not sure, I want to say that he wouldn't accept…" He trailed off a sad look on his face.
"You don't think he will say no for sure." Madara stated.
Hashirama shook his head.
The three watched as his clone took Sasuke down with taijutsu. Sasuke stood back up glaring. Naruto sighed and jumped down from the tree dismissing the clone. Sasuke stared in shock. "I was the dead last because the academy bore me. I won't have you thinking I'm weak, I won't stand for you insulting my dreams. And I definitely won't stand for you trying to demand answers out of me. Also, never refer to Kurama as a thing again. He is my friend, and I won't stand for you talking about him like that." Naruto growled out. "If I see you using anything I do, without asking for my permission, because you stole them with your eyes… I will seal away your sharingan."
He left Sasuke standing there staring at him.
The rest of the week passed with Hashirama checking on Zabuza, and them training. Finally as the end of the week drew to a close Hashirama reported that Zabuza would be attacking the bridge in the morning.
Naruto informed Kakashi and the man cut there training off early. "Why are you stopping our training?" Sasuke asked.
"I believe Zabuza will be attacking the bridge, we will need to be fully rested for tomorrow. Sakura I want you to stay here with Tazuna and his family. Naruto you will create a couple clones and have them henge into the bridge builder and Sakura tomorrow morning."
"Alright." Naruto agreed with a nod.
They ate dinner and then they fell asleep. Waking up the next morning they went about their plan. They left heading towards the bridge. They arrived to see a few workers who had arrived early were dead. Standing there waiting for them was Zabuza and his accomplice.
"Kakashi of the sharingan… or do you prefer friend killer Kakashi?" Zabuza asked.
"I prefer Sharingan Kakashi," There sensei said lightly, but Naruto could see that he had tensed up a bit.
Zabuza just looked at them, "I did a bit of research on your team, besides for you your team consists of the last Uchiha… which I suppose the brat should have a bit of strength."
Naruto noticed that Sasuke both seemed proud and angry at that.
"But then you also have Solid Hand Naruto. Slayer of the Wicked eyes. You aren't in the bingo book, but you are in the red alert." The man commented looking at him.
Sasuke seemed confused as he heard this.
"Yeah, I will be in the bingo book soon enough I'm sure." NAruto stated with a deadpan
Zabuza chuckled, "With the legacy of being the son of not only the red hot habanero, but also the yellow flash, I suspect that if you live past today you might indeed make it to the bingo books."
"Red hot habanero? Yellow flash?" Sasuke muttered to himself quietly.
"Haku, take care of the brats, I'll take Kakashi myself."
The false hunter nin attacked them and they defended themselves. Haku managed to trap them in a dome of ice mirrors. Naruto looked around, "Interesting, you have the Yuki bloodline." He commented.
"Yes, I do."
He saw Sasuke use a fire jutsu.
"A weak fire like that won't do anything." The false hunter commented.
Naruto frowned a bit, they were on the bridge so his explosions were out, plus it was to close quarters. Absentmindedly he started dodging the needles Haku threw at them. Sasuke also started dodging them, his sharingan flickering side to side.
"Is this all you can do?" Naruto asked as he dodged more needles.
"This is all I need to do, I do not want to kill you."
Naruto deactivated his weights. With a flash of speed he punched Haku as the boy jumped across to another mirror.
The mask cracked and fell off.
Naruto frowned at the young boy staring at him with wide eyes. "Please kill me." The boy said looking at the ground.
"What? Why?" Naruto asked thrown of course from where he had been about to tie the boy up.
"I am no longer useful to my master."
"What just cause you lost?" Naruto asked as Sasuke came to stand next to him.
"Yes."
Naruto was about to say something when Hashirama looked up, "There is a lot of people at the end of the bridge."
Making a hand seal he used air bullets to clear away the mist. They saw Kakashi standing there with a chidori in his hand, and Zabuza trapped by a bunch of dogs. Beyond them though stood a large group of mercenaries and at the front was a short squat man in a business suit.
"Gato! What is the meaning of this?" Zabuza questioned looking at the man.
The business man than revealed his plan to kill them all and betray Zabuza since he was so expensive.
"Well than Sharingan Kakashi, looks like we are no longer enemies." Zabuza said and Kakashi released him. "Haku, stop laying around and prepare yourself!"
"Yes Zabuza-sama." The boy said.
"Naruto, use a T-1." Kakashi commanded.
Without question he pulled out the marble and threw it, He noticed that they were about 300 feet away from the mercenaries. "Katsu." Naruto said a pyromaniac grin stretching across his face.
A second later and BOOM! The bridge shuddered a bit as the end of it was destroyed, taking with it the majority of the mercenaries being completely vaporize and others with major burns. Kurama formed himself and said, "Bravo! Bravo! More! Please!"
Everyone stared at the fox and Kakashi facepalmed.
"What?" Kurama questioned looking confused.
"It's nothing, they just aren't used to you being like a kid with a sugar high when it comes to anything destructive. Anyways there won't be any more explosions."
The fox just nodded and dismissed himself. Kakashi and the two boys looked at the badly wounded Zabuza and Haku. "Nice meeting you, but we will be taking our leave now. Our business is done." Zabuza stated.
Kakashi just nodded. "Zabuza… the civil war in Kiri ended about recently, the rebellion won." He stated.
Zabuza looked at them, "Really?"
"Yes, Mei Terumi I believe is trying to get enough support to be Godaime Mizukage."
Zabuza paused, "How recently are you talking about?"
Kakashi gave an eye smile, "A month or two ago."
"Damn, I had heard Konoha's spy network had upped its game, but that's impressive." He muttered. "Anyways, enough chit-chat, we're out of here." Zabuza said and with a swirl of water the two of them disappeared in a shunshin.
"Are we really just letting them go?" Sasuke asked.
"Of course, we are not at war with Kiri, and the Godaime Mizukage has been putting out a couple of ninja's to look for the Seven Swordsman who might be willing to rejoin Kiri, or if they are unwilling to rejoin, than they will be hunted down for their swords. This of course all very hush hush as the Mizukage isn't trying to bring attention to Kiri right now." Kakashi answered. "Now, let's get back to Sakura and the others and fix this bridge up."
They went back to the house and found it to be a mess, items were broken and there was blood on the ground. On the ground was two unfamiliar corpses. They heard the sound of sobbing and cautiously went towards the sound.
They saw Sakura crying and being held by Tsunami and Inari was hugging Tazuna who was watching them as if he wasn't sure what he should do. "What happened?"
"We were attacked by those two thugs, they were planning on kidnapping me, but then they saw that Father was here and they tried to kill him. Sakura here managed to stop them." Tsunami answered quietly.
"Good job Sakura," Kakashi said going over to her. "I know it's tough…"
The girl just sobbed.
The day passed quietly with Kakashi letting Sakura cry until she passed out. He placed her into the room in order to sleep away what she had done.
The next day they got to work on rebuilding the bit of bridge that blew up. Two weeks passed with them guarding Tazuna while he finished the bridge. Finally it was done and they left, behind them the bridge was named The Great Team Seven bridge.
As they went back to Konoha Naruto was starting to become more anxious as it got closer and closer to December 5th. Even though the tournament didn't start till the 12th he liked having plenty of time to get there.
They came back to Konoha on December 6th around later evening "Let's go report to the Hokage."
"Eh, can't we wait till tomorrow? I'm tired."
Kakashi shook his head at her, "We're going now Sakura."
They made their way over to the office and gave there report.
Tobirama and the Hokage were both giving displeased looks.
"We'll… just be going now." Hashirama said with a sweatdrop as he started backing away.
"And where do you think you're going Hashirama?" Tobirama asked.
"Um… away?" Hashirama answered with a squeak, a guilty expression on his face.
Tobirama then started to give Hashirama a tongue lashing. When Madara tried to sneak out Tobirama turned to him. "And you Madara! I expected something like this from Hashirama, but you went along with it!"
Naruto was ignoring the tongue lashing his Jiji was giving Kakashi, which was somehow even worse than the one Tobirama was giving.
Naruto tried to blend into the floor and he noticed that Sasuke and Sakura were staring at their embarrassed sensei with wide eyed looks. "And you Naruto!" Tobirama said turning to him.
He gulped and looked up at the expression on Tobirama's face. "How could you be so irresponsible? You know that as soon as the client lies about the perimeters of the mission you are no longer required to continue the mission,yet you continued on endangering your teammates. What would have happened had you dealt with an enemy that actually wanted to kill you and your teammates?"
Naruto looked down at the ground. He knew that they had gotten lucky that Zabuza didn't actually care to kill them, and instead was only trying to kill Tazuna. Tobirama continued ranting at the three of them.
Hashirama was by this point on the floor with depression clouds over him. Madara wasn't looking Tobirama in the eyes. And Naruto was trying to disappear by standing still. He noticed that his teammates were sending him odd looks. And he could guess why, both he and Kakashi had the same 'being chastised' expression on there faces.
"Yes brother." Hashirama answered as Tobirama asked him if he understood.
"Do you understand me Madara?" Tobirama questioned with narrowed eyes.
"Yes." Madara answered as he crossed his arms.
"Yes Hokage-sama." Kakashi said despondently.
Tobirama turned to him.
"Now, I know that your going on your vacation Naruto." The third said.
Naruto turned to him grateful to have an excuse to ignore Tobirama.
"I am tempted to prevent you from leaving on your vacation, but I suspect that if I did that you would find some way to go anyways. So instead… as punishment the rest of your team is assigned to go with you." Jiji told him with a vindictive look.
"But-!" Naruto immediately tried to protest. He didn't want Sasuke or Sakura to come with him.
"It's either take the rest of your team with you, or don't go on your vacation at all." The Hokage told him.
"Fine. I guess they are to be my guards then?" Naruto questioned. He ignored Tobirama as the ghost put a hand on his shoulder and was giving Hashirama a disapproving face.
"Yes," The Hokage answered and dismissed them.
"Come on, time to get going."
"What are you talking about Naruto?" Sakura asked confused.
"I am currently your client, you will be guarding me as we get to Iwa by the eleventh." Naruto told them and headed out leaving the rest of them to catch up to him. As soon as they got to the gate Naruto took off at high speeds.
A/n: Alright obviously the normal Iwa chapters are coming up, but once we finish this one we will be done for awhile. This chapter was hard for me to write, and for multiple reasons. Anyways this will be the last chapter for awhile, until I can get a few more chapters written. I don't really do Tobirama's scolding justice... so if you want to imagine it better feel free, in fact if you want to send scolding suggestions I wouldn't mind :) Anyways I also will be adding in a new mission or two for team seven to go on before chunin exams, and maybe after as well. If you have any mission suggests I would love to hear them. Anyways Thank you all for reading, and I will try and update this soon, I just got a bit of writers block... even though I know where I want to take this the words won't come. I blame the new story idea that popped into my head... It dosen't have a real name but it's so far called, In which Sasuke has Identity issues and Hashirama is the cause of them. Again thank you for reading and i'll see you all later.
