------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto was as pissed as hell...to put it mildly. So far, all they had done was buy some groceries for old ladies, find a missing dog, and paint a wooden fence. WHAT THE HELL was their problems? They were ninjas for crying out loud! The other members of Team 7 were sharing Naruto's feelings. Sakura wanted to bash Kakashi over the head for making them do these crappy D-rank missions.

Sasuke, although he didn't show it, was just as enraged. How could he kill his brother if all he ever did was paint fences? What was he gonna do? Shove a paintbrush up Itachi's ass?

Kakashi just pretended that he didn't know that his three young apprentices were secretly planning how to murder him. So, when they went to the Hokage to get their latest mission, Sakura lost it.

"WHY DO WE HAVE TO DO THESE STUPID D-RANK MISSIONS? THEY HAVE GOTTA BE THE CRAPPIEST MISSIONS IN THE WORLD!" Even the Hokage, leader of the Leaf, strongest of the village, quailed under the furious female's glare.

"Very well, I shall allow you to have a higher ranked mission ." This led, as I'm sure you all know, the Hokage to ramble on about the difficulty and deadliness of the missions and who got each type of the missions. Finally, after boring the majority of the people there to death, the Hokage allowed Team 7 to get a C-ranked mission. He introduced Tazuna, a bridge builder.

They were supposed to escort Tazuna to the Wave country where he would be finishing a bridge.

As the group set off to their mission, they didn't notice there was an extra pair of eyes gazing at Tazuna. During the trip to Wave country, Sakura asked if the Wave country had its own academy. Kakashi answered, explaining the five Kages and the five Shinobi countries.

In the middle of the explanation, both Kakashi and Naruto noticed a small puddle of water along the road. Naruto smirked while Kakashi just pretended he didn't notice it.

After they passed, two people emerged from the seemingly insignificant puddle. And in less than a second, Kakashi was bound by the chains and ripped apart! The two Nins rushed at Tazuna ,but before they could get close enough to Tazuna, both Sasuke and Naruto interfered. Naruto punched the left Nin in the stomach and then planted a knee in his face.

Sasuke grabbed a kunai and stuck it in the chain coming from the Nin's hand and then stabbed the kunai to a thick tree. Suddenly, Kakashi appeared, disabling the Nins by painfully breaking their arms.

"Who hired you to kill Tazuna?" Interrogated Kakashi. But the Nins refused to talk. Seeing as he weren't going to get an answer out of them, Kakashi just left the Nins where they were after knocking them out.

"You didn't tell me there were going to be enemy ninjas after you. We were just hired to protect you from bandits and robbers. This has turned to at least a B-ranked mission." Tazuna sighed, realizing he's been found out. "I'm sorry about deceiving you, but the Wave country is extremely poor right now. I only had enough money to pay for a C-ranked mission."

"But what about the ninjas?" Asked the Jounin. "..." Tazuna was silent for a moment.

"It seems there is a super dangerous man after my life." He finally explained. "Who?" Everyone was curious about this man. "He is one of the richest men in the world. His name is...Gatou." Kakashi raised his eyebrows.

After listening to Tazuna explaining the entire situation about the bridge being the Wave country's only hope. Kakashi decided to continue with the mission. While traveling in the forest, Naruto abruptly threw a kunai into the bushes. Everyone immediately braced themselves for another attack.

Kakashi went to where the kunai landed to investigate. Everyone was silent and tense for a second. Kakashi came back out holding a cute white bunny that was frozen with shock. Sakura breathed a sigh of relief, then instantly started yelling at Naruto about cruelty to animals.

Naruto was about to scratch the back of the head sheepishly and apologize when his eyes caught a flicker of movement on top of a tree close by.

"Everyone.........DUCK!" Naruto yelled. At the same time, a huge cleaver whooshed overhead and imbedded itself halfway up in the trunk of a tree. When Team 7 and Tazuna lifted their heads up, they saw an eyebrowless man--with his face swathed in bandages--standing on top of the gigantic sword.

Naruto analyzed the Mist Nin while ignoring Kakashi's conversation with the person. 'Seems as strong as Kakashi...seven foot long sword...would be slowed down because of the huge weight of the sword...I guess distance is the way to go.' Speculated Naruto.

Slowly, a thick heavy fog rolled in, covering the entire battlefield. Naruto smiled, he had plenty of practice with fighting Mist Nins in the fog.

Flashback

"Naruto, for your training, I'll have Kisame teach you water based jutsus and killing techniques."

"Who's Kisame?" Asked Naruto.

"It is the one whom you call..."Blue Skinned"..." Answered Itachi.

"Oh, you mean that tall freak who likes to saw people with that funky big swords of his?"

".........Yes...though I want you to refrain from calling him that, lest you wish to suffer some...painful consequences.

"...Whatever..." Naruto had loosened up slightly with both Itachi and Kisame. He feels comfortable with whenever he's with any of them.

"Da seals are monkey, fish, dragon, tiger, fish and ox." Kisame demonstrated and a geyser of water shot up from the ground in front of Kisame. "Now you try..."

Monkey, fish, dragon, tiger, fish, ox! "Burning Onsen (A/N: OnsenGeyser) no Jutsu "WHOOSH" A spurt of shot up from the ground, about as high as an anthill. A very, very tiny anthill.

"....... Well, that's better than wha' I 'xpected anyway." Naruto took an instant liking to the shark-like man.

"CLANG" "CLANG" "CLANG" Kisame had been kind enough to forge Naruto his very own, as Kisame liked to call it, "Big Deadly Ninja Killin' Thing (A/N: I'm very unoriginal with names)", which was a katana. Now, Kisame and Naruto would often spar with their own, even when Itachi didn't order them.

Right now, Kisame had Naruto backed against a corner with his sword right above him.

"Alright...alright...I give up." Kisame smirked.

"Then 'aht'll be the one 'undreth and forty seventh time I've won."

"CLANG" "CLANG" "CLANG" "SLASH" "HIT" "SMACK" "Haha! I finally won!" Yelled Naruto triumphantly. "Bah, tha' was just luck...no skill involved at all." Grumbled Kisame. Before Naruto could yell something else, Itachi arrived with a swish of a cloak.

"Naruto...tomorrow, I am going to take you to see the leader of the Akatsuki. Kisame paled, though Itachi didn't seem to notice.

Naruto entered a dark room with no lighting. In the middle of the room, Naruto could make out a long rectangular table...

"Uzumaki Naruto?" Naruto nearly jumped out of his skin. He didn't notice the dark figure sitting at the head of the table...in fact, he could've swore the figure wasn't there a second ago.

"Y-yes?" Naruto felt like the first time he met Itachi.... Scared....

"Do you know the purpose of the "Akatsuki"?" Asked the mysterious person. Itachi had mentioned the "Akatsuki" a few times before to Naruto. But he was never able to find out exactly what it was.

"No." Replied Naruto

"Well...I see Itachi never got around to mention our organization...The Akatsuki's goal is to establish a new era...one filled with light and rid of darkness and war...That's why we're called the "Akatsuki" (A/N: I'm pretty sure Akatsuki means "dawn"). But in order to build this new Golden Age, we need to start all over."

"Start over what?" Naruto was now too confused and intrigued now to be scared.

"Why start over the Shinobi world of course. We need to...ah...break down the Hidden Villages. They still live in the past, we wish to correct that......When all is done, we, the Akatsuki, will be at the head of a new and better empire, but we need your help."

"What role am I supposed to play?"

"The breaking down of the villages..."

End flashbacks

Naruto had to push Tazuna out of the way when the Mist Nin suddenly emerged from the fog and slashed at the bridge builder.

Pulling out his kunai, Naruto parried the mammoth cleaver. Kakashi grabbed Zabuza's arm and yanked it behind Zabuza freeing Naruto from being squashed by Zabuza's force.

Taking advantage of the moment, Naruto leaped backwards and with amazing precision, launched five kunai in quick succession targeted at the vital organs. When the kunai struck, Zabuza immediately turned into a puddle of water.

'Water clone?' Thought all the ninjas. Naruto, realizing that Zabuza had the upper hand because he could attack at any moment from the fog and they wouldn't have time to react, tried to scan the area of chakra signatures.

"I sense Zabuza to the north east of me...wait...what the? There's another faint signature lingering around here...it's very weak, but it's there, looks like that person is concealing their chakra signatures."

But before Naruto could finish detecting where the hidden person was, he noticed that Kakashi had his forehead protector up and it was showing his left eye.

'Sharingan...Just like Itachi-sensei's'. Naruto watched as Kakashi and Zabuza duke it out.

He was disappointed when Kakashi simply fell into Zabuza's water prison. Kakashi yelled for the group to run away just as Zabuza created a water clone. Naruto and co. stood their ground watched as the water molecules grouped together to form an exact replica of Zabuza.

The clone hit Naruto in the ribs, or actually, tried to hit him. Naruto stopped the blow and rammed his palm into the clone's chest, dispersing it. Zabuza raised his non-existent eyebrows and in the liquid sphere, Kakashi shared Zabuza's shock. No Genin could destroy a Mizu Bunshin with only one hit.

Sakura and Sasuke were still...because of Naruto's display of power and because they just realized that unless Kakashi got some help, he wasn't going to be able to save them like last time.

"Hey Sasuke, unless you got a death wish, listen to me..." Naruto proceeded to walk over to Itachi's angsty brother (A/N: Runs away from Sasuke fans) and whispered into his ear. Sasuke realized that this might be the only way to live and decided to toss his pride for now and listen to Naruto.

After he finished, Naruto walked over to another Mizu clone Zabuza made and created well over fifty clones.

Sakura looked left, there were Naruto clones, she looked right, there were Naruto clones. 'T-that's impossible, for him to create this many clones...amazing.' At the same time, all of the clones charged towards Zabuza. With only one hand, Zabuza was failing to ward off all the copies of Naruto.

While he was busy managing all the replicas, Sasuke and the real Naruto crept towards the water prison that Kakashi was held captive in.

Just as Zabuza finished destroying the last annoying clones did he notice the absence of Kakashi. Something cold and hard was pressed against his throat.

"It ends here." Said the perverted Jounin. Zabuza smirked, and was replaced by a tall log. He reappeared to the left of Kakashi and swung his katana. Kakashi ducked and tried punching Zabuza's stomach.

Naruto and Sasuke rejoined Sakura and Tazuna and examined the battle before them. Right when they thought Kakashi had won, two needles pierced the air and Zabuza's neck. 'Ah, so this was the mysterious Nin that was hiding in the bushes.

But if he was a Hunter Nin hunting Zabuza, why didn't he come out right away and kill Zabuza? Well, maybe he wasn't the hidden person...no. That can't be, the chakra signatures are the same...'

The Hunter Nin picked up the 'dead' body of Zabuza and disappeared in a whirl. Right after the battle, Kakashi collapsed in a heap of tired flesh.

"OH MY GOD! Are you alright Kakashi-sensei?!" Sakura yelled, her voice laced with worry. "Don't worry, he's just tired from using the Sharingan too much." Said Naruto.

The group sat around table, eating their dinner. After finally getting to Tazuna's house, they were greeted by his daughter, Tsunami.

She immediately put Kakashi onto a soft bed to rest. In the middle of the afternoon, Kakashi abruptly sat up and yelled that Zabuza was most likely alive...morals were low...Kakashi told them that he would be training them for the inevitable upcoming battle with the 'Hunter Nin' and Zabuza.

The next day, they met a Kakashi in crutches in the woods. He explained the rules of chakra and controlling it. He demonstrated it to the team. Sakura was impressed and showed it by yelling out.

Sasuke was impressed but didn't show it. Naruto wasn't impressed at all.

Flashback

"Naruto, you have extraordinary amounts of chakra, but your control over them is worse than horrible, so for your practice, we'll be teaching you how to control your chakra properly." Itachi explained.

"How're you gonna do that?" Asked Naruto curiously and apprehensively. To increase his Taijutsu skills, Naruto was forced to add twenty pounds to his arms and legs. He couldn't move for a week.

Itachi didn't answer, but his action did it for him. He roughly shoved Naruto down a steep cliff. "AHHHHHHH!" Screamed Naruto. Finally, Naruto hit the bottom with a loud thud. Naruto swore that if he ever got out of there, he would give Itachi a good kick in the groin.

"Channel your chakra at the bottom of your feet and try walking up the cliff...Too much and you blow the rock apart, too little and you fall..." Called Itachi from above. "ITACHI" Naruto screamed, and what followed was about five minutes' worth of unprintable obscenity.

When Naruto finally finished venting his anger, Naruto decided to try walking up the cliff with chakra like Itachi said. But every time he tried, the sheer force of chakra Naruto poured into his feet usually blew the rock apart. Merging with the demon had its pros and cons. This was one of its downsides.

Naruto never was able to get out of the cliff by himself, he had to endure three days of scavenging the cliff bottom for small reptiles and, when he was unlucky, shit to eat. Itachi finally rescued Naruto, but forced him to learn how to control his chakra by making him walk up and down walls and trees. After Naruto mastered that, Kisame taught Naruto how to walk on water. He could now do both of them in his sleep.

End flashback

The three gathered their chakra and ran up three separate trees. Sasuke was able to run up his tree for about fifteen steps before he fell to earth. Naruto, still pretending he wasn't as powerful as he really was, ran up about twenty steps before stopping and jumping down.

"Hey, this is pretty easy!" Exclaimed a certain pink haired girl. Naruto and Sasuke both looked up and saw Sakura sitting on a branch higher than what both Naruto and Sasuke had gone up to.

"Well it looks like the person who has the best control over their chakra right now is Sakura." Announced Kakashi while he was hanging upside-down. The remark only stung Sasuke for Naruto knew he himself could do much better than Sakura.

"Yawn." Sakura stood up and stretched her arms. Another boring day. There weren't any attacks on the bridge yet, and Sakura was as bored as hell.

Sakura watched the seagulls fight over a piece of moldy sickly bread. Suddenly, a yell caught her attention. Sakura watched as another builder wanted to resign from the work.

'Wow, these people must have been really affected when Gatou came.' Thought Sakura after Tazuna gave the worker permission to take a break for the next day.

"What's going on in this city?" Asked Sakura after she finished dispatching a thief/pervert. "It's been like this ever since Gatou came. A hand tugging on Sakura's shirt made Sakura turn around. There was a little child holding her hands out.

The sight softened her heart and made her feel sympathetic towards the country of the Wave. She gave the kid a couple sweets, making her squeal with joy.

Meanwhile, Naruto and Sasuke were still running up the trees. Well, to be more accurate, Naruto was sleeping on the ground while Sasuke was still trying to improve. Naruto had long since reached the top of his tree. Sasuke was boiling with rage. How could've that dead last be so good?

Kakashi entered the meadow where the duo was training. "It's time to eat...hey, Sasuke, wake up Naruto for me will ya?" With that, Kakashi left.

That night, during dinner, Naruto noticed something wrong. "Hey, why do you have a torn picture hanging on the wall?" He asked.

He then immediately sensed the tension within the room increase ten-fold. Everyone was quiet. Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto and Kakashi were silent, waiting for a answer.

"I-it's my husband." Said Tsunami finally, but hesitantly. "And...The man called the hero of the city." Finished Tazuna.

A hand slammed onto the table. Inari got up and walked out of the kitchen. "Father! I told you not to talk about him in front of Inari!" Tsunami half shouted.

"Why? What's up with Inari's dad?" In spite of himself, Sasuke was curious.

"Well, it all started like this..."

Naruto was sitting outside, mulling over his thoughts. As much as he wanted to destroy Konoha, he had begun to like it, and think of Team 7 as the family he never had.

Flashback

"Start over what?" Naruto was now too confused and intrigued now to be scared.

"What role am I supposed to play?"

"The breaking down of the villages..."

End flashback

The question was, when the day came, would he have the will to destroy his friends and team?

He...........didn't know.........

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! School has started!!!!!!!!!!!!! I probably won't be able to get updates as fast anymore, but that wouldn't matter cuz nobody reads this crappy story anyway...I can update about once a week and a half...and if you're at San Jose or Miller Middle School, gimme a call...

Here are some ideas that I never bothered enough to write out:

1. (Summary) The entire village hated and still hates the container of Kyubi, so at the tender age of 7, the villagers drove the poor innocent vessle out of the Leaf. Wandering blindly, he met a Sound Nin. The ninja took Naruto to Orchimaru, who decided to take Naruto as his deciple. How would've the Sound and Sand vs. the Leaf war turn out? How would've team 7 turn out? The story would be very AU and Naruto would be very OOC.

2. (Summary) 17 years after the dreaded Kitsune (Fox) was sealed, it has begun to break free of it's magical chains. Look at Naruto's life at age 17 as he tries to hide the secret from his friends and keep the demon within.

3. (Summary) Realizing that the village hates him, Naruto forsakes the path of the light and turns to the crooked road of darkness. 6 years later, Naruto returns to the Leaf...to try and utterly annihilate it...

4. (Summary) Why bother trying to keep the demon inside? Why? When the village that you try to protect and love attempted to kill you? Why not just let it (A/N: "It" means Kyubi...) out and begin a era of darkness? Why?......Because of her...(A/N:"Her" can be any female character that you think deserves Naruto. Or, if you're a Yaoi fangirl, though I hope not, it can be "him"...) One-Shot (or, if you're feeling up to a challenge, multi-chap.) Should be Naruto's POV.

5. (Summary) I am alone...all alone...and always alone...There is noone that cares enough to know that I exist...so why do I live?...Maybe I won't...Suicide One-Shot.

6. (Summary) I hate everybody and everything. I don't know why I exist...and I never will...These were the thoughts of Naruto...who believed nobody cared...But someone did...a certain blue-haired shy Hyuga girl. Naru/Hina (My favorite )

You can take any of these ideas and use them as you like it...just...e-mail me first.

P.S. Yume-Chan...this fan will always remember you...

BTW, I don't need anymore betas.
