Nami no kuni
Inside a forest
Naruto is looking at Haku with a confident smirk in his face. It amused him greatly to see Haku's shock face, when he revealed her identity.
Haku is gulping nervously, this person in front of her has defeated her master and could kill her easily. She knows that she won't stand much of a chance against him, but even so she won't go down without a fight. Haku slowly reached her hand to the pouch to reach for the poisoned senbons. She stopped her action, when she heard him say.
"Relax, I just want to talk with Zabuza-san and gives him a proposition. I am not here to fight" said Naruto and put his hands to his pocket and left himself unguarded to gain the kunoichi's trust.
"Why should I believe you? You are the one that injured Zabuza-sama to the state he is in" retort Haku with narrowed eyes and still not let her guard down.
Naruto's eyes changed and become icy and he said calmly. "Why should you believe me? Obviously, I restrained myself when using that Mizuchi. The real Mizuchi will completely destroy all the body of the opponent from the inside". Hearing then Haku widens her eyes in horror and relief that Naruto has restrained himself.
"O-ok, follow me then, Uzumaki-san" stuttered Haku nervously and told Naruto to follow her.
Zabuza's hideout
Zabuza felt himself a little better, he is testing his strength by crush an apple in his palm. Suddenly the door opened, Zabuza glanced at the door and saw Haku has come back from gathering the herbs. Suddenly, his eyes widen in surprise and he was about to leap at the person behind Haku. But Haku restrained her master.
"What is the meaning of this, Haku? Why is this brat here?" asked Zabuza and turned to Haku furiously. Before Haku could answered, Naruto decided to answer ahead of her.
"Good evening, Zabuza-san? How are you feeling? I was the one that asked Haku-san to bring me here"
Zabuza narrowed his eyes suspiciously and asked "And what do you want with me? I thought you are a Konoha shinobi. Are you going rogue? That's pretty brave for a brat like you"
"I am only temporary with Konoha. I still have some unfinished business in Konoha, that's why I can't leave just yet. But enough about that. I'd like to offer you an interesting proposition, Zabuza-san?"
Zabuza heard that narrowed his eyes and leaned in closer to hear what Naruto has to offer. "I am listening"
Naruto nodded his head and then unsealed the Nenekirimaru from the seal, which caused Haku to react. Naruto raised his palm to stop Haku and began to talk. "In our fight, you asked where I got this blade. And I answered that this blade is my rightful heirloom". Zabuza nodded at that. "That's simple really. Nenekirimaru is the heirloom of the leaders of Uzumaki clan"
Zabuza widens his eyes and asked "You mean you are the true Uzumaki by blood?". Naruto nodded at that. "That's surprising, because I knew some fellows that just like to call themselves Uzumaki. I certainly know the story of Uzumaki being destroyed, but never expected for a survivor"
Naruto closed his eyes and said "There are certain survivors, but they've already on their own now. I am an Uzumaki by blood, but I was born in Konoha. Due to a certain accident, I appeared in Uzu and found out the whole miserable and cruel truth"
"And what truth is that?" asked Haku curiosly. Naruto looked at her and shook his head.
"I can't tell you that now. It's a top secret after all. At least not before, you two join me to reconstruct Uzu to its former glory"
Hearing that caused Zabuza to widens his eyes and he asked. "Wait, wait, gaki. You are proposing us to join you in reconstructing Uzu?". Naruto nodded curtly. Zabuza began to laugh hysterically. This kid is completely on same for offering him that.
"Gyhahaha! You are really insane kid. Everybody knows that's impossible to reconstruct Uzu back to its former state. There are only ruins there for so many years now. What you are suggesting is crazy"
Its time Naruto closed his eyes with a mysterious smirked. "That's what the people of Uzu want for the world to think that".
Zabuza narrowed his eyes and asked "What do you mean by that?"
Naruto snapped his eyes open and looked at Zabuza. "People of Uzu knew that one day they will be extinct. Do you really think they didn't prepare for that? The last leader of Uzumaki, has put a special ancient seals on each of Uzu's buildings to reverse the time of a designated place. The reconstruction of Uzu is not a problem. The problem is the population. I want you to help me to recruit the people that wants to live a new life and if you can find the Uzumakis"
Hearing Naruto's explanation, Zabuza to recall all those times that he must hide as a missing-nin without a home to return. And this boy offering a home to him. Uzu is the safest place because without a special way you won't be able to reach it. But there is still a question in his head that he wants to ask Naruto.
"What do you plan on doing after you brought Uzu back?"
Naruto looked seriously at Zabuza and replied. " To completely annihilate shinobi system from the face of the world. That's the only way I could see how to free this world. Because of that, I will stand against all 5 major villages"
Zabuza and Haku widened their eyes again. This kid is plain insane, he is planning to wage a war with the world, with only Uzu.
"Do you know that what you just suggest is insane, gaki!? There is no way you could stand a chance against all the 5 Shinobi villages! That's just plain impossible!"
"Really? Then look into my eyes and say that again" said Naruto seriously and turned his gaze at Zabuza. In Naruto's eyes is pure determination and resolve, there was not even a bit belief that he think he will fail. That Zabuza realized that this kid will change the world. The world will never be the same again, because Naruto Uzumaki will change everything.
Haku also looked Naruto's crystal blue eyes and thought. 'Sugoi. His eyes didn't even waver a bit, I've never seen anyone with this much resolve before. You are amazing, Naruto-sama'
Naruto still looks at Zabuza with the same gaze full of resolve and determination. Zabuza turned his gaze away from Naruto and said "Still what you suggest is impossible and I don't want to follow a crazy man. I need time to think about your proposition, Naruto Uzumaki"
Naruto nodded his head in understand and said. "If you need time, then it's ok with me. But..." Naruto put a seal from his pouch to the table, which cause Zabuza and Haku to look at it curiosly."...If you accept the proposition then please contact me through this communication seal". Naruto then turned and was about to leave. "I will await for your decision then, Zabuza-san, Haku-san"
Naruto just about to step out of the room then remembered something and turned back to the two behind him. "Oh, by the way that old bastard Gato won't gonna pay you anything. He is just using for his goals. But I think you already deduced that Zabuza-san. Therefore we don't have any reason to kill each other. But if we are still gonna fight, I am asking you to not kill anyone from Konoha team. You can pushed them to their limits, but no killing please"
Zabuza raised his eyebrow up and asked with a devious grin. "Oh, and what if I decided to spill some blood? What will you do, eh?"
Suddenly both Zabuza and Haku widens their eyes as a ridiculous amount of KI is direct at them. Haku started to sweat and gulp nervously. Naruto's body is covered in blue chakra and his eyes is glowing icy blue.
"I think I don't need to answer your question, Zabuza-san. You yourself know what the consequence will be" said Naruto coldly and Shunshin away.
Zabuza sighed out in relief and muttered "What KI. I can't believe that boy has so much power. But it's as expected from a true Uzumaki heir and the person that will change the world"
Tazuna's house
Naruto stepped in the house and noticed only Tsunami that is doing something at the kitchen. Naruto approached her and asked "Hello, Tsunami-san. Do you know where is the rest of my team?"
Tsunami turned to Naruto and exclaimed "Ah, Naruto-san, you are back. You know, everybody was really worried when you didn't come back from your training"
"I apologize for that. But I want to know the location of the rest of my team, please"
"Well, Sakura-chan and Sasuke-kun is outside in the forest training again. Kakashi-sensei is with my father, acting like his bodyguard" replied Tsunami.
"Thank you" said Naruto and was about to walk out, but Tsumami interrupt him. "Wait Naruto-san!" Naruto turned back to face her. "You still haven't eat anything since yesterday. Maybe you should sit down to eat something. I will be really glad if you accept my proposition". Tsunami said and smiling at Naruto.
Suddenly Naruto's stomach decided to make itself known. Naruto scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and nodded his head in acceptance.
When Naruto's stomach rumbled, Tsunami accidentally looked at Naruto's body and blushed heavily. How the heck a kid at the age of 12 had such fantastic figure? You see, after the hellish training to practice Rokushiki, which forcefully pushed the user's body to the very limits. Naruto's body build improved greatly. His muscles are lean and firm. Basically, Naruto's body looks like Gohan SSJ2 during the battle with Cell. Naruto has unzipped his jacket during the training and never zipped it back.
Naruto looked at Tsumami's red face and asked "Is something wrong, Tsunami-san? You whole face is red"
"N-nothing! I-I will bring you something to eat right away!" stuttered Tsunami and hurriedly went to the kitchen. She start to understand why that Sakura girl like this boy this much. He is very polite not to mention handsome to boot.
With Sakura
Sakura Haruno has changed really much after she started training with Naruto's clone. Even though the clone has dispersed long ago, Sakura still follow the training regimen that Naruto's clone showed her. Her body gained a bit of muscules and her figure improved greatly. Her busy grows to C-cup thanks to the training and Tsunami-san's help to improve her busy size. Her figure also became curvier. Sakura Haruno slowly but she is becoming a true kunoichi. Of course, she knows that she is still the weakest of her team. But she will prove the others that even as the weakest of team 7, she will not be a burden to her team. She also often thinking to herself, why Naruto-kun didn't accept her feelings. She knows that he didn't actually reject her and she could see that Naruto also cares for her. She really wants to know the answer to that question and hope that one day she will find the answer to it.
With Sasuke
Sasuke finally managed to master the two high-level Katon jutsu that Naruto entrust to him. Not only that, he has also invent the variation technique of Enjinken. He called it Enjin no Yoroi( Blazing God Armor). After the activation of Enjinken, he could manipulate it to cover him in a cloak of flame to use both a offensive as well as defensive. Enjin no Yoroi is a trump card to use against Hyuuga because they aimed for tenketsus because of their Juuken. But Enjin no Yoroi, is an flame armor that has a very high temperature, because of that Hyuuga won't be able to touch the user. Sasuke is very greatful for Naruto to give him such techniques. That just proves one more time, that Naruto is genius that is far different than the other genius. He doesn't have anyone to teach him from the beginning like Itachi or even Kakashi-sensei. Naruto is inventing techniques on his own relied only on books and the concept of other powerful techniques to create his own techniques. That's why Naruto has his most respect. Sasuke don't have a doubt that in near future Naruto will surpass Itachi. That's why he wants to become stronger to fight equally with Naruto. Certainly, he never saw Naruto go all out, but that's why he want to know just how powerful Naruto really is. The Chuunin Exam will soon come. That's the place where he will test himself against Naruto with all his strength.
Time skip
Night time
Sakura and Sasuke reached the house and opened the door. They were both tired from the training. They heard some chattering and turned their head to see that Naruto is chatting with Tsunami about something.
"Naruto-kun! Since when did you return? I was worried sick about you, you know" said Sakura with narrowed eyes and put her hands to her hips.
"Gomen, Sakura-chan. You know I have my training as well. But I am fine. See" replied Naruto.
Sakura took a look at Naruto and blushed heavily. Oh my god, it's only been mere days and her Naruto-kun has transformed from a human to a God. What kind of training he did to achieve such figure she wondered.
Sasuke turned to look at Sakura and saw her gaping mouth and red face. He smirked amusedly at her reaction. Sasuke turned to Naruto and said "You sure are crazy to train to this extend. But if you didn't not do that surely you are not Naruto Uzumaki. Am I right?"
Naruto looked back at Sasuke and said with smirk. "You know me to well Sasuke"
"Yo! So how are your trainings, my cute genins" said Kakashi and eye-smiled also made his presence known to them. He is holding his Icha Icha Paradise book in his right hand as usual.
"Kakashi-sensei!" exclaimed Sakura.
"I have news here" said Kakashi seriously. The genins began to listen intently upon hearing their sensei's serious tone. "I think that Zabuza will recover about 2-3 days from now. This means that we will fight him once more. I want you all to prepare for the fight. No more training for now. You need to rest your body"
"Hai, sensei" said Sakura and Sasuke simultaneously.
"Ryokai!" replied Naruto with a nod of his head. He then look up to the ceiling and wondered 'What will be your decision, eh, Zabuza-san?'
