True Power
Chapter 7: Bridge of the Waves
The Country of Waves is isolated by mighty oceans and natural barriers. Thus the land of waves had no hidden villages, yet some dangers can come from within.
Kakashi
"I'm closing in on target sensei." Naruto said into his ear piece.
"Good, are Haku and Gaara in position," Kakashi responded.
"Affirmative." Both Gaara and Haku confirmed.
"Good now strike!"
Naruto and his teammates shot out of the trees at the unfortunate cat. The cat smelling the youkai sealed inside them did what its instincts told it to do, it panicked.
"STUPID CAT!" Naruto yelled as he held the panicked ball of fur and claws at arms length.
"Heh heh, I'm partially to blame to why the cat's going bezerk." Kyuubi admitted.
"Shut up, you stupid furball." Naruto said to himself as the crazed cat shredded his shirt sleeves.
"Good," said Kakashi as he stuck his head out of a tree, "Let's go and report to the Hokage."
Mission Control Plaza, Hokage Tower
"Good work team 7," the hokage said, "now for missions, Miss Suna needs someone to baby sit her kids, the river needs to be cleaned, the…"
"Give us something hard old man!" Naruto yelled, "All these D ranked missions are getting boring."
"I agree with Naruto." Feneris said, walking into the plaza followed by a soaking wet, Kiba, Shino, and Sakura. "These missions hardly give credit to my students rapidly developing skills."
"Hardly give any credit to our skill!" Kiba roared, "You had us run up a waterfall, just to give those kids we were babysitting a show!"
"Well…" the hokage sighed, "we do have a C rank mission available, Feneris, Kakashi, your two teams are to guard the bridge builder Tazuna from Wave Country."
An older man with graying hair and a beard, walked in, sake bottle in hand,
"Don't tell me theses brats are going to be guarding me," he slurred out.
A vein bulged in Naruto and Kiba's fore head.
"Okay you guys," Feneris said "take everything you might need and meet us at the western gates. In about 30 minutes"
"Feneris, Kakashi I need to speak with you," the hokage interrupted as he got up from his seat.
Hokage's Office
"Okay you two, you are probably wondering why I am sending two gennin teams on a C ranked mission." The hokage said, "the truth is this is actually a B ranked mission, Tazuna came with a request from the newly formed Village Hidden by Tides, they requested a escort for Tazuna that could be passed off a guards against bandits. Apparently the Tide Village's forces are spread out all over wave country, and they cannot protect Tazuna well enough. In exchange they are offering trade and an alliance between our villages."
"And two gennin teams would be less suspicious?" Feneris asked quizzically.
"Less suspicious then a team of ANBU," the hokage answered
"Point taken."
West gate of the Hidden Leaf Village
"Okay we're ready to go," Feneris said as the group walked out of the village.
"Hey Naruto." Kiba said walking up to the blonde, "You had Feneris as your sensei before us right?"
"Yah, what about it," Naruto questioned.
"Did he give you the training exercise of running form a 2 ton dire wolf?"
"That one? Yes he did, took me Gaara, and Haku over two hours to loss it."
"Took me and Shino 3 ½ hours to loss it, Sakura was caught within the first hour."
"You get used to his strange training exercises after traveling with him for 6 years. Somewhat"
"Hey, do you know how Feneris is able to cast magic?" Kiba asked out of the blue.
"Yah, he said he studied the art of the druid, and the tel quasair." Naruto answered.
"What does that mean?" Shino said joining in the conversation.
"Well, Feneris said that a druid was someone who draws magic from the elements and nature, but I don't remember what a tel quasair is?" Naruto answered
"A tel quasair is an elf that studies all forms of magic to improve their use and understanding of magic." Haku quoted as he walked up to the group. "At least that is what I think he said."
Up at the front of the line Feneris walked ahead of the group noticing two puddles to the side of the road had auras that humans had, he signed an order to Naruto, Gaara, and Haku
"Two ninja disguised as puddles on both sides of road, guard Charge, let dog, bug, and cherry blossom, take care of them." He signed to his former students.
Then two ninja charged out of the brush, they wore mist forehead protectors, and had metal armor on their forearm, trailing a spiked chain, and giving them steel claws.
Quickly they wrapped the change around Kakashi who turned into a log just as he was about to be killed, quickly the ninja rushed at Naruto who flipped over the chain and landed in front of Tazuna. The ninjas caught by surprise changed targets and charged at Feneris he just muttered.
"Hands of stone."
His hands then became coated in thick grey stone. Grabbing the chain he gave it two good yanks causing the ninjas to become unbalanced and stumble. Detaching the chain from their wrist guards the ninja slashed at Kiba who ducked and kicked the ninja in the stomach while Akamaru bit the ninja on the knee. The ninja then lashed out at Kiba slashing his arm, Kiba then conked the Ninja on the head knocking it out.
The other ninja charged Shino, without saying anything Shino preformed a series of hand seals and said.
"Entangling spider wed jutsu."
Shino then sent a wave of spider webs out from his hand, pinning the renegade mist ninja to a tree. Shino's kaki bugs swarmed out from his body; only instead of pure black bugs these had red stripes on their shell. The bugs swarmed around the ninja until then he passed out.
"What was that?" Gaara asked.
"The kaki bugs that reside in my body." Shino answered.
"I thought that your families' bugs couldn't forceful drain people of their chakra from the outside?" Kakashi asked as he strode out of the bushes.
"The black kaki bugs can't but the red can." Shino finished. "I'll explain after the mission."
"Ya, lets go!" Kiba yelled.
"Idiot Kiba! You're bleeding!" Sakura yelled at him.
"Here drink this." Feneris said tossing a small bottle of greenish liquid to Kiba, "It'll take care of the wounds and the poison."
"Poison!" Kiba croaked out.
"Yes now hurry up and drink it quick or I'll make you run all the way to Wave Country," Feneris threatened as the group headed off.
Gato's so called, secrete base of operations
"What do you mean? You telling me your henchmen got beaten by bunch of brats!" a man in a pricey business suit and designer glasses roared to a guy with short spiky hair, bandages wrapped over his lower face, and a colossal square bladed sword.
"Those "brats" were ninja of the hidden leaf village, plus there were two jonin with them, Gato" the man said.
"So kill them!" Gato yelled, "I've paid you enough for Tazuna to be dead, so I want him dead Zabuza!"
Zabuza grabbed his sword and swung it so the blade was centimeters from Gato's face, "I'll kill Tazuna personally Gato, but if you think I'm overpaid, any of the hidden villages would charge at least twice as much for an assassination." He muttered before standing up and leaving the room.
Wave Country
"Hey Tazuna," Sakura asked, "I thought Wave Country had a Hidden Village?"
"We do," Tazuna answered, "it's the Village Hidden by the Tides"
"So why didn't you hire from them?"
"Because the village is new, only 5 years old. They are loyal to Wave Country but they do not have enough shinobe to adequately protect me, so I was forced to hire form the leaf."
"We are being followed," Naruto interrupted.
"Naruto, stop interrupting!" Sakura yelled when Feneris roared,
"Duck!"
A huge square blade soared out of the forest and slammed into a large tree. Zabuza leaped out of his perch and landed on his sword.
"So these are the brats that defeated the Demon Brothers," he said before turning around and saying, "Greetings brats, I am Zabuza, demon of the Mist."
