Chapter 11: The Bridge of the Leaves

Blood is thicker then water, until blood and water are mixed

2nd Mizukage

"Heh," Gato said as he kicked the body of the ninja Feneris killed, "you did, me a favour I wasn't planning on paying them but you saved me the trouble of killing them."

"You shouldn't be so cocky, Gato," Feneris said.

"Heh, what you're going to do?"

"Nothing, but they want a word with you."

There was a poof of smoke and Gato and his goons found themselves surrounded by an even larger group of Tide ninjas.

"Gato," the leader of the group said, "time for you to pay for the crimes you have committed against the country of Waves!"

The bloody, 30 second battle that ensured was more like a massacre, hired goons being no match against trained shinobe.

The leader walked away from the remains of the battle,

"I would like to thank you for your help in protecting Tazuna, for that you have earned our gratitude, take this as additional payment for your services."

Feneris took the scroll, and unrolled it; his eyebrows disappeared into his bangs.

"Were did you get this?" he asked casually.

"A merchant was selling it, why?"

"Just curious,"

As they walked off the bridge, Naruto asked Feneris, "Why did you ask about the where the scroll came from?"

"Because this is a scroll of elven water jutsus, and I am the only the second elf to set foot on this world since it genesis."

Haku slowed down and looked at the scroll, "hey, you taught me all the jutsus on that scroll?"

"Ya, I did, this scroll doesn't contain any high magic so I don't have to hunt someone down."

"Isn't high magic you ultra secret, super powerful…"

"Yes, it is." Feneris replied singling them to shut up or else.

At the finishing of the bridge

The entire village was gathered at the completed bridge as the leaf shinobe left for their home.

Goodbyes were exchanged and as the shinobe started walked away you could hear.

"What should we call this bridge, it does need a name."

"How about, The Great Bridge of the Leaves, in honour of the leaf shinobe that helped us?"

"A very fitting name."

5 weeks later

"I'M BORED" Naruto yelled to nothing.

"Then do what Feneris does to relieve boredom," Haku suggested gesturing to the residential district of the Leaf village, that was currently covered in a large green forest of grass.

"Making peoples' grass grow 20 meters in 5 seconds after they finished cutting it gets boring after a while. Oww…"

Naruto glared at Warufuzake who had woken up and given Naruto a small nip on the neck.

"What is it this time you baka kitsune?"

Warufuzake yipped a few times then went back to sleep.

"Stupid fox does nothing but sleep and eat," Naruto muttered.

"What did he say," Gaara asked.

"He said that Feneris wants to see us, and that he's hungry," Naruto answered sheepishly.

They found Feneris sitting in a tree on the outskirts of the leaf village; he was wearing a pair of oval shaped glasses and was carrying a longbow with gold letters in elven carved along its length.

"What on earth are you doing?" Gaara asked.

"Sniping perverts," the druid replied, "see that guy with white hair that's spying on the bath house."

"No,"

"Oh right, I forgot the glasses are enhancing my sight, just let more chakra or ki circulate through your eyes," Feneris instructed

"You mean the guy hiding in the bush?" Naruto asked eventually.

"Yep, watch me hit him right in the ass."

Feneris then grabbed an arrow from a quiver strapped to his back, drew the bow back as far as it would go a let fly. A loud yell of pain was heard followed by a splash and several female voices yelling things like, pervert and, get him.

Feneris laughed as the resident kouichi beat the stuffing out of pervert, who ever he was.

"Anyway, on a much more serious note." Feneris said as he put the glasses away, "you know that the chunin exams are coming up, if Kakashi hasn't given you your application forms, he will soon, I will also be allowing my team to participate in the exams. However I have my own mission for you three. I recently had a vision of the chunin exams, the snake sainin Orchimaru will attempt to curse Sasuke Uchiha in order to acquire his sharingan. I want you to try and prevent Orchimaru from cursing Sasuke, if you cannot do that, at least informing me so I can take over from there. Think you can handle it?"

"Of course we can!" Naruto yelled out.

"Good, take this scroll if you get in over your heads when you are fighting Orchimaru use it to summon me."

"Hey Feneris," Haku asked, "Why don't you just take care of Orchimaru yourself?"

"Because," the elf answered, "call it gut instinct but I think Orchimaru is being manipulated by a third party, while you are dealing with him I'm going to see if my suspicions are correct."

"Fair enough."

As soon as the team 7 left the area, serial explosions echoed across the training area.

"Oh good," Feneris said as he turned to watch his gennin team go through an obstacle course, "they've reached the mine field in record time."
