The final battle commences. It's not something grand however. Instead it starts with Sasuke teasing the opposing two ninja.

'I bet you didn't saw this coming.' Sasuke throws two scrolls in the air and then poof they turn into the two new additions to the Konoha village. They both land on their feet. At least it looks like they did, it's not like he can see Sasori's.

'Did we really have to do this?' Kisame asks Sasuke who's standing there extremely proud of himself.

'Yes.'

Then Zabuza's voice rumbles from the other side of the bridge. 'Hey, Kisame great to see you again.'

'You too old pal.' Kisame waves back to the other one. The rest doesn't comment on the friendly exchange.

'So, you want to join our side now?' Sasuke smirks. But instead of a normal response he gets a question.

'What'd you mean?' Zabuza does look confused.

Sasuke doesn't mind. He'll just have to explain it then. 'Become one of us.' He embraces all the people around him. 'A Konoha ninja.'

Obito scolds Sasuke. 'Sasuke you can't do that to any ninja you encounter.'

'Sure, I can.' He turns back to look at Zabuza and his pal. 'What'd you say?'

'You never offered before.' He hasn't? That's not a good sign. He really should've. It must have slipped his mind then.

'I didn't? Shoot! I should clean up my act then.' He then proceeds to polish his sandals. The rest looks at him strangely.

Zabuza takes another good look at the group. 'But I wouldn't mind. It's not like I'll be able to beat you with the additions.' He puts his sword away and motions for his friends to stand still.

'Wow he has a head.' Sasuke widens his eyes in shock. Most people don't. 'Here are your new headbands. Wear them proudly.' He throws the headbands at the two ninjas. They take them and put them around their heads, and mask in the friend's case.

Obito whistles. 'They're the first ones that actually don't mind becoming part of Konoha.' His eye is wide and his taps his foot on the floor.

'They are the first ones he recruited.' Kakashi looks at his childhood friend. There he goes again. He should snap out of it soon or they're not going to get anywhere.

'Shut your mouth Kakashi.' Obito then turns to look at Sasuke. 'I didn't like it at all.'

Sasuke smirks. 'Don't you love all the love I give you?' He runs after the man to embrace him in another hug.

'What love? The only thing I get from you is torture.' Obito starts going through a list of flashbacks that illustrate Sasuke's torture methods. He'll be unresponsive for a bit.

'We are in for something aren't we?' the masked guy says. His voice is light Sasuke notes.

'Most certainly.' Sakura says to the two of them. Sasuke tries his best not to laugh at their faces.

Zabuza then turns to look at his friend. 'You can take your mask of now Haku.' And Haku does. It reveals a face that looks like a girl even though he's really a boy. Sasuke knows. How? He doesn't know. He just does.

Naruto does seem to recognize the boy though. 'Holy moly you're that boy!'

'You know him Naruto?' Kakashi looks at his student.

'We met a couple days ago. He's like the hottest guy I ever met.' Naruto's arms make wide gestures. It's quite comical. Sasuke joins in on the fun. And soon they are dancing like crazy. Kakashi doesn't take mind of their strange behavior.

'He sure is good looking.' Sakura mutters. She must be jealous or something. But she's also glancing strangely at the weird dance only Sasuke is doing now.

Naruto stands up straight and folds his arms. 'We had a talk about friendship and deep stuff like that. We really bonded.'

'It wasn't that deep.' Haku says. Sasuke believes him more than Naruto.

'Yes, it was.' Naruto gets a look. 'It is now.'

The other villagers on the bridge start cheering. 'That means Naruto saved us all.'

Tazuna steps forward. 'From now on the bridge shall be known as the great Naruto bridge!' Cheers emerge from the villagers on the bridge. Sasuke isn't happy.

'NO!' he screams. 'Objection!'

'What is it kid?' Tazuna asks. Sasuke feels like he's mocking him.

'It should be named after me!' Sasuke points at himself. He's the one that put in all the effort in recruiting new ninja for the Leaf village.

'Why?'

'I can't lose to Itachi.' There is that as well. 'He's already got a place named after him.'

'He does?' Naruto asks. Even Obito is confused now that he's caught up with the conversation.

Kakashi starts explaining. 'Yes, a couple years ago, near lake Tobirama he snapped and burned down a large part of the forest. It's now known as the Itachi circle.'

'He was thirteen when it happened. Now I'm twelve, I need to be faster.' Sasuke nods at the story Kakashi just told.

Tazuna only pats his head. 'Tough luck kid. If you actually did something you might have had a chance.'

'I did plenty.'

'Like what?'

'I brought the two other intimidators here.' He points at Kisame and Sasori. Obito was about to object but Sakura silenced him just in time. Good girl.

'Like that did anything.' A villager screams. 'It was totally the deep and inspirational conversation Naruto had with that boy.'

Naruto rubs the back of his head. 'Well I mostly bullshitted on Sasuke's weirdness.'

'You certainly did.' Haku nods. Sasuke glares at Naruto. How dare he?

'Meh, that doesn't matter.' Tazuna says. Sasuke gapes his mouth at the man.

'How?' He gets on his knees and does the best puppy dog eyes he can. 'Please?'

'Well there is also a trashcan at near the teashop that still needs a name.'

'No.' No way in hell. That's not going to happen.

'Well then I say we completed the mission.' Kakashi puts together his hands. They are about to leave the bridge until a voice stops them from doing so.

'Not so fast!' They all turn to look at a greedy little man. 'I'm Gato. I see that you've betrayed me Zabuza.'

'What can I say. They had a better deal.' Zabuza shrugs. Even Haku does.

'Then you must deal with this.' Out of nowhere a whole band of bandits appear. They are all amateurs however. They can clearly see it in the way they hold their weapons.

'Is he serious?' Naruto whispers in Sasuke's ear.

'Who knows?' Sasuke whispers back. 'Let's just set Sakura loose at them.'

'Great idea.' Naruto then makes his voice louder. 'Hey Sakura, I heard these bandits stole some pictures from your Sasuke folder.'

'They did what!' The aura around Sakura changed completely. 'You'll pay for that!' She charges at the men and punches them all into oblivion. It's not a pretty sight. But damn is it effective. The adults only watch in wonder. How's that for the weakest member of the team?

Once Sakura is done Kakashi interrupts again. 'And so, everything gets resolved.' Gato just stands there is shock. He did not expect Sakura to happen.

'I call dibs on Gato.' Sasuke calls out to the men.

'Sure, what are you going to do?' Obito asks.

'I'll carve some cat ears out of his skull.' Sasuke takes out his sharpest knife and holds the man still with one hand. Gato is sweating bullets.

'That's insulting!' Everyone looks strangely at Obito. 'To the cats.' He elaborates.

'Cats can deal with it then.' And Sasuke starts his art piece. Let's just say Sasori was impressed.

Sorry for the long time without update but the heat prevented me from doing anything at all. Now the temperature is better and I can actually be productive.
