The scene opens up to show TME and Atomsk while they were talking about things from some reviews.
"OK… in this one we should focus on Naruto because we really haven't for awhile." TME said while he points out the review that talked about this stuff.
"Yup. Because according to the viewers, we're using our OC's to much. However, still don't get how people think we self insert ourselves here. Idiots if you ask me." Atomsk said.
"Eh, ignore them, may as well try and have them wonder who the insert OC's are about us even if they are wrong, last I checked we didn't use Cedric yet right so no Insert for you as far as I know." TME said while he looks amused since this wouldn't really count as an insult unless both OC's were used at the start.
"Hmmm, true since Emerald and Lillum are the only OC's getting more action." Atomsk said.
"Don't forget Serina and the others, still we should give Naruto some good old action and stuff, just need to think about who to use since we don't exactly have many women in the Land of Wave to use, for now lets just wing it and get this story started." TME said while he grins at Atomsk.
"Okay… maybe Naruto will meet a random before meeting Haku or something." Atomsk's said.
"Maybe, for now we should get into the story because if we ramble on, we will be spoiling stuff and the readers have been here for a few minutes." TME said when he points a finger behind Atomsk.
"Right… sorry guys just TME and I talking so oops. Anyway short version, Kakashi and Helio's teams are training as Kakashi heals. Emerald meets Haku and later a lemon happens that leads to an orgy. Also Naruto summons a new spider that can easily beat Shikamaru in a lazy contest." Atomsk said.
"Careful man or we may have a lazy off between the two, still the key points of this story is mainly getting Naruto some action while we bring in a new summons that can help Haku with defusing the situation between Team 7 and Emerald and the Mist ninja's hired by Gato… how this chapter will go may also show a few surprises so expect the unexpected." TME said while he grins at the readers.
"Hehe, yeah so let's stop stalling and get the chapter started." Atomsk said while grinning.
"Yeah… just two warnings though, first off any guest flame reviews will be erased and second I have a , used to have a but thanks to how odd it is and add to the fact that cash is taken thanks to various MULTIPLE taxes… I'm just sticking with , if you want to make solo or co-op requests, please let me know so I can let Atomsk know about this if its a co-op thing." TME said while he had a serious look on his face.
"Yeah so… to all the haters out there… watch yourself." Atomsk said with a serious look.
"Indeed… push me and I may just take a break for a few weeks again… anyway to the story… lets go to say the morning after so…" TME said as the scene shifts to...
Land of Waves/ Bridge builder home/ Team Emerald (Helios: Jonin Sensei, Emerald: Genin, Kurama: Genin *Fake rank, Lillum: Genin), Team 7 (Kakashi: Jonin Sensei, Naruto: Genin, Sasuke: Genin, Sakura: Genin), Tazuna, Inari, Tsunami, Jirai Gumo (Guy is sleeping here or there)
The scene showed many outside of the Bridge builder home while Emerald was sitting in front of Naruto while many were talking about Haku and the plan to be at breakfast.
"OK… now that were all rested, what do you think of the plan?, pretty much get proof so that Gato can't use Zabuza and the others on his team?, knowing how shifty Gato was I would bet my right arm and leg that Gato has a plan to get rid of Zabuza and his team in the case they fight us and win or tries to ambush us in a weakened state if they lose… guy like that wouldn't miss the chance to try and one up Zabuza after hearing that Gato got an injury recently thanks to Haku for some reason… heard it was because he tried to mess with Zabuza while he was recovering." Emerald said as he munched on some eggs and bacon.
"Yeah… even I wouldn't try that no matter how injured Zabuza is. So all I have to do is summon a spider small enough to not be detected and hand it to Haku so she can use it to spy on Gato?" Naruto said.
"More or less, or have the spider find some kind of document that can be passed to her, unless we do that, we have no choice but to fight Zabuza and his goons, think you can do that Naruto?" Emerald said when he looks at the Spider summoner for a moment.
Naruto was thoughtful.
"To be honest, after seeing what those other guys that came with Zabuza can do… I say get the documents or whatever dirt that asshole has." He said.
"Good… let's try summoning a spider and hopefully… one not so sleep inclined." Emerald said when he and everyone else look at Jirai Gumo who slept under a cocoon like blanket Tsunami gave him while he was in the corner while he had a pillow under his head.
Everyone sweatdrops before Naruto bit his hand and placed it on the ground before he tries to summon a small spider or something.
The kicker was thanks to how much Chakra he used, keyword here used, he used a little bit less than he was used to and well… a large spider egg appeared on the table while Lillum got bug eyed at this.
"Oh no… Naruto you didn't just do what I think you did…. Oh mom is going to be sooo pissed if this egg hatches…" Lillum said while she looks really worried and she jolts as the egg starts to wobble ominously.
"Wait what?!… I wasn't trying to summon an egg?!" Naruto said.
"Naruto you baka." Sakura said.
As the egg wobbles more, it was about to fall off the table while Lillum looked worried, Emerald dived after the egg and in a comical way… he caught it which caused relief but it cracked and well… it hatched and a baby girl covered in spider goo was seen and well… she saw Emerald and she looked like a much much smaller version of Lillum and Serina… nuff said she smiles as she hugged him and said this much to everyone's shock.
"Papa!" The baby spider girl said as Emerald looked ominously at Naruto.
"Naruto… I swear if Serina doesn't kill you for this… I sure as hell will." Emerald said with a look that promised raw pain.
Naruto pales greatly.
"What did I do to deserve this?"
"You were born." Sasuke joked.
Though while a few chuckle… Lillum facepalms as Jirai Gumo woke up.
"Ugh… what's all the noise about and… why the hell is one of Serina's newborns here and hatched!?" Jirai Gumo said while he looked more awake than ever and Lillum points at Naruto while Jirai Gumo shakes his head.
"Welp kid… nice knowing you, you may be the Spider summoner but given the situation… signs point to Serina chewing you a new ass and possibly literally since if I'm reading this right… a daughter of hers just imprinted on someone not the mother… you really don't know how bad this is… even I'm fully awake from this level of shock for now so that should say a lot." Jirai Gumo said while he pats Naruto's back while looking like he was wishing Naruto the best.
"Oh come on! This was an accident. How was I supposed to know that an egg would appear? I just needed a spider small enough for spying." Naruto said.
"And how much chakra did you use and how small we talking?... you should know summoning pretty much takes choices seriously no matter the situation… you want a small spider… who better than one just born and can turn really small?... can't get smaller than that." Jirai Gumo or JG said while he points a thumb at the baby spider girl who laughs as sat on a dazed Emerald's stomach while he muttered he wasn't a father material person or how do I raise a spider daughter and stuff in a dull tone… seems he was in shock right now from unexpected parenthood.
Naruto facepalm.
"Okay… new plan… after this mission, I'm getting a one month head start."
"Good luck with that, once mom notices the missing Egg she will know what happens… its only a matter of time Naruto… you do realize until then you'll have to help Emerald raise a baby girl right?... or are you not taking responsibility for forcing Emerald to be a parent… imprinting with animals and ones with serious intelligence as us spiders are a serious thing… even if we use reasoning with the little one, she won't just shrug off Emerald as a parent now… or will you of all people tell me you'll say that Emerald isn't her father right to her face?" Lillum said while she points at the baby girl who snuggles up to Emerald cutely while Tsunami went to get some baby clothes that Inari used to wear.
"Aw man… Why does bad stuff happen to me?" Naruto said.
"Because of poor life choices?" Kurama said while she looks amused by this and the scene went to a bit later with Emerald and Naruto walking with Lillum as the baby spider girl was carried in Emerald's arms while she looks around curiously.
"OK you two… first off we need some clothing, I would spin some but I need to save Chakra, Naruto, you use your shadow clones to look for a clothing store, Emerald, keep an eye on the little one and make sure nothing bad happens to her, I'll look for a place that has baby food, just because the Land of Waves is in bad shape doesn't mean it doesn't have something… at the very least I may have to use a Jutsu to cause breast milk to leak from my breasts just in case but for now lets try and make sure the baby is well cared for… got it Naruto?... I'll need some clones who can come with me as well." Lillum said while she gave Naruto a look and a rare one as well which was Serina like that dared Naruto to argue with her.
Naruto jolts from the stare.
"Y-Yes Lillum." He said before he his hand signs and summoned some clones.
After this happened, Naruto splits with Lillum and Emerald while muttering some choice curse words he couldn't use around the unnamed spider baby girl.
'Man I can't believe this. How the fuck did I end up with a egg. I just needed a small spider not a baby. Kami… why can't good things work with me?' Naruto thought as he was trailing behind with dark clouds above his head.
Though thanks to Naruto using the shadow clones, he managed to find a store that sells clothes though thanks to Wave being in a bad state, he had to pay a freaking premium that made what he was charged with when he was younger seem small change in comparison… good thing Emerald gave Naruto cash for this because he had to use all that and some of his own cash to do so and was now grumbling about tearing Gato a new asshole for this.
'If I find that Gato bastard I'll shove a spear in his ass and later feed him to my spiders. Maybe his corpse will be used as a new nest.' Naruto thought as he was thinking cruel things to do against Gato.
Though he did mutter this.
"Then again, he could just make my spiders sick since he doesn't seem to good and what not… heard he is height challenged so not much of a meal and stuff…" Naruto muttered though as he was walking, he saw a woman with a mist headband on her head walking by and while Naruto would have ignored her, he did get a bit on edge when he remembered how mist Ninja were after the bridge builder and stuff… besides she looked a lot like Zabuza with the skin tone, she even had black hair that was spiky though her hair was long and trailed back to give her an iconic look people who knew a certain hedgehog would get… still she wore a mask on her lower face, had a cloak on her shoulders, and she had shinobi shoes on her feet while the cloak hid most of her body but from what Naruto could tell she looked really beautiful and stuff.
As Naruto was planning to move out of sight, he felt something sharp poke his neck and he heard this.
"Don't move and answer this question, what's a Leaf Ninja doing in the Land of Waves?" Naruto heard and the voice sounded serious, Naruto than saw the woman from a distance vanish into a water clone and Naruto realized he wasn't seeing the original woman but a clone and he got ambushed before he could realize it.
"Damn… how could I not sense that?" Naruto said before narrows at the clone.
"Let me guess… you're also working for Gato or Zabuza?"
Though the woman's eyes narrowed as she used a hand to backfist Naruto to the ground and stomped on his head while she looks at him with raw fury.
"Like I would ever work with that piece of shit Gato or that traitor of a father… I came for Zabuza's weapon, the Kubikiribocho, from what you said you seemed to have ran into him… names Touka… mother named me that and before you ask, yes mother was knocked up by that fucker during a one night stand and I'm here to get back a treasure of the Mist." the woman said when she looked pretty angry at being allied with Zabuza.
Naruto groans from the pain before glaring at Touka.
"Hey you had a kunai at my throat. You can't expect me to not think that."
Touka frowns under her mask and she pressed down a bit harder making Naruto groan while she knelt down when she took her foot off his face.
"OK… lets be more civil… mind explaining WHY you're in Mist territory and why do you have a beef with Gato and Zabuza?... depending on how things go I could help you off the fucker as long as I get Zabuza's weapon, hell you could torture him for all I care as long as I can leave with that giant meat cleaver of his." Touka said while she had a look in her eyes that showed she was deadly serious right now.
Naruto didn't want to cause more issues.
"O-Okay… my team and I, along with another team, were hired by the bridge builder to guard him as we bring him back to Wave. Though he had to come clean when we were confronted by some Mist ninjas, who were no match for us. Later on, we got attacked by your father and two other guys named Bruno and Grigori. WeGrigori. We did beat them but your pops is healing thanks to a fake Hunter-nin named Haku. However, few of my teammates got in contact with her and now she needs one of my spiders to infiltrate Gato's fortress and find any dirt on him because there's no doubt that the bastard plans to double cross your dad."
Touka scoffed as she stands.
"Than I guess I don't need to do much, either you ice my old man or Gato does and saves me trouble, either that or my old man and his group ice you and I can take him down while he is weakened, win win for me since stopping that fight is the absolute least of my worries given I want his weapon." Touka said while she felt like speaking to Naruto was useless right now given how opposite their ideas were right now in how the situation should go down, either the fight is defused or both sides clash, for Touka, in getting Zabuza's weapon, letting the fight happen and waiting for one side to go down or both would be in her best interest… she was a Mist Ninja with the headband and given how she had no interest in Naruto right now good or bad, she could care less about him and his allies.
"Well actually… maybe you can help me. See the spider I summoned… wasn't what I expected so yeah. If you help me get dirt on Gato, we might meet that Haku girl, who happens to know where your dad is. However getting to him could be an issue." Naruto said before telling Touka about Grigori and Bruno's abilities.
Though while Touka was surprised by the info, she narrowed her eyes and clocked Naruto good in the face.
"Before you snap at me for that, let me ask you two questions… one… why in the ever loving fuck would I even agree to this since this would put me near four people or so who are at full power and my old man doesn't even know I exist as far as I'm aware… it would be like leading me to a death trap and two… that would also make you a damned traitor to that Haku woman since from what I heard about you mentioning her… she wants to Protect Zabuza you idiot… you're suggesting an idea that could help me kill the fucker myself if I'm lucky… I could care less about your mission AND everything here… what would I get for even helping because aside from my old man's weapon… I got nothing else to think of that you can give me… you fucked up in that summoning so just summon another damned spider that isn't a brat and try and not piss me off more… my father was the demon of the hidden mist so try and not put me in a stupid situation that could get me fucking killed if those three with my old man are as strong as him… hell you don't even know what that Haku woman can do so she is a full unknown to me." Touka said before she got ready to walk away while she felt stupid for listening to Naruto while he picked himself up after he rubs his face.
"You know… I don't know what life you had at Mist but whatever… the life I had was worse than yours." Naruto said.
Touka though emits killing intent that shockingly rivaled Zabuza's while she looks at him with slightly enraged eyes.
"Two things… I'm not comparing life stories you fucking bastard, I could care less about your life, how you lived, or how you got here, same with me, I'm not telling stories, nor am I telling you more than you need to know, unless you have a way that benefits me so I can get Zabuza's sword, I could care less about anything else, and two… you better watch it Leaf ninja, I could attack you here and now because all I've heard from you is a suicide plan, a plan to betray an ally your possibly trying to make, and again… no benefit for me aside of a high risk plan that could get me killed while you sit back at the sidelines… just to let you know… my father isn't the only one who has the title of Demon of the hidden mist… and again… I DON'T know you so I'm not sticking my neck out for you… fucking leaf ninja…" Touka said before she vanished with surprising speed before Naruto could make some kind of counter to any she said.
Naruto grumbled.
"Stupid Mist bitch." He said before walking away.
Honestly if Touka stuck around, she could have heard a plan to not have her be near Zabuza and stuff but thanks to Naruto just meeting Touka and her not knowing Naruto at all and suggesting some ideas that were questionable at first without context, it did give Touka a bad impression of Naruto now that he took some time to think of what he said to her.
Naruto grumbled.
"Damn it… should've thought this through." He said as he just walked back to Tazuna's house with a foul mood.
Thankfully he still had the baby clothes and after Tsumani washed the baby girl clean, Naruto filled in the others about what he experienced and Sakura facepalms while Emerald looked like he was going to bust a blood vessel right now so he walked out of the room to cool down.
"Naruto... ignoring the fact that you talked with a Mist Ninja who got the drop on you, what gave you the idea of asking her for help?, a complete stranger, into going to where Zabuza was?... Even if you did give context, she would have just ignored the plan and either tried to kill Zabuza herself or go after the evidence and get rid of it so we would fight… there was literally no benefit for her if she was telling the truth about being Zabuza's daughter… an enemy of my enemy doesn't necessarily make her an ally of us, she is a third party that we now have to keep an eye out for since she will stick around now… sure if things go right, could get her on our side if we give her the weapon Zabuza uses, but what garuntee do we have she won't use it on us while we are weakened?" Kakashi said while he sat opposite of Naruto while Kakashi gave Naruto a calm but serious look since now there was a third party involved and who knows if anyone else was with this Touka woman if that was even her name.
"Alright, I get it. I screwed up Kakashi-sensei. I was desperate for a different idea. If I summoned another spider, it would've blown up on my face again." Naruto said.
Kakashi sighs when he heard this.
"Naruto, I highly doubt you would make the same mistake twice, you never used a controlled amount of chakra and normally went full blast in summoning, think of this as a learning experience and next time you can use a little more to make a more proper summons, as for this Touka woman, you do realize that until this mission is over with, she will be your responsibility if she shows up right?, I'm not doubting you when you said she is Zabuza's daughter, but until we know the Bridge builder is safe, we can't let our guard down." Kakashi said while he tried to give Naruto a pep talk but a warning as well since Touka wouldn't leave now thanks to Naruto and stuff… she wouldn't cause issues for now if Kakashi was right but it was a guess on what she would do once the possible battle with Zabuza and his group was finished or prevented.
Naruto sighs.
"Yeah I know. Now I get why Shikamaru said women are troublesome."
"Hehe, well they are the more unpredictable sex… no offense ladies." Kakashi said as Tsunami giggles as she played with the baby spider a bit.
"None taken… though before you try and summon another Spider person… since this baby was technically hatched… does she have a name or does this Serina woman have to name her?" Tsunami said which made many blink a few times since the baby spider girl was unnamed as far as they knew.
"No clue and asking Serina would be suicide. Maybe her big sister here knows." Naruto said as he points his thumb at Lillum.
"Oh no, not me… why don't we ask the new father of the baby to name her?" Lillum said while Emerald who returned looks confused.
"Why are we talking about names for a baby?" Emerald said when he thought Naruto was getting grilled right now and after he was filled in… well…
"Alright… unless anyone has any objections… may as well name her… hmmm… considering her hair looks a bit on the red sigh or a really light brown… Ruby?" Emerald said while he shrugged his shoulders a bit.
"Ruby?" Naruto said as he looks at the baby.
"I say that's a nice name." Sakura said.
"Well unless you have a better name Naruto, I'm all ears, need to call her something so why not Ruby?... names Emerald on my end so why not a gem based name?" Emerald said when he looks at Naruto to see if he has a better name.
Naruto sighs.
"Your child. Do what you want. My day has been crap lately today."
"Eh you know how it is, darkest before the dawn, for all you know you'll have good luck tomorrow or something… for now though you may want to try and summon another spider person… this time a bit less baby like though." Kakashi said when he tried to help Naruto give one more summon a chance.
"Alright… Maybe I'll summon a Spider that serves saki." Naruto said before he did another summoning.
A moment later however, what Naruto didn't expect and what many others didn't expect was well… Serina herself being summon somehow despite Naruto using much less chakra than normal while she had a frown on her face… hoo boy… looks like things were not looking good when Serina looks around and saw the baby girl playing nearby.
"Hmm… I see… good thing I lowered my condition for summoning to come here… Naruto sweetie… mind explaining why a newborn is here?" Serina said while Emerald opened his mouth to try and help Naruto a bit though with a flick of her wrist… Serina shut Emerald's mouth when she didn't want to hear anyone else speak… just Naruto while Emerald muffly strained to try and remove the webbing to no avail.
Naruto pales.
"I-It was an accident Serina-Chan. I just needed a spider small enough to do some spying. I didn't know one of your eggs would pop up."
"I see… so you needed a small enough spider for spying huh?... Lillum dear… I believe this is partly your fault so to speak… you were watching Naruto right?... mind explaining why you didn't tell Naruto to raise his chakra levels during a summoning?... now my newly birthed baby girl imprinted on the wrong person… question is who is the person?" Serina said while Kakashi cleared his throat and points to Emerald who fell on the ground and looked a bit blue right now and Serina used a quick hand sign to undo what she did and Emerald gasped for air a moment later while he looks normal again.
"You should know that Emerald called her Ruby. Just saying." Sasuke said.
Ruby noticed Serina with a cute tilt of her head.
"Mama?"
Many look at Ruby while Emerald looked the most surprised.
"She spoke a new word already!?... she just hatched like what?... hours ago?" Emerald said while Serina smiles as she went to pick up Ruby.
"We spiders are fast growers, and sometimes they learn words in the eggs if people speak with them, so in a nutshell she learned well while she was incubating… isn't that right little Ruby." Serina said while she tickled Ruby on the belly for a moment.
Ruby giggles happily as most gave some aww sounds.
Naruto thought he could use this opportunity to sneak away from the others as he quietly tips out.
Though Serina quickly looks at Naruto which froze him in place as Serina gave him an eyesmile.
"Naruto… we will be talking about this later in detail when you're back at Konoha… but for now I believe Ruby can help with this, as you can see she is more aware than most would give her credit for… Ruby… can you turn into a small spider for mama?" Serina said while she looks at Ruby with a kind smile on her face.
Ruby smiles at her mom.
"Sure thing mama?" She said before she turn herself into a small spider.
This form was comically adorable despite her being a spider, she looked almost like a spider themed stuffed animal of sorts and Serina smiles as she pets her daughters body where it was largest.
"Aww, she's even more adorable." Sakura said.
As Ruby smiles, Serina giggles.
"Hehe, thanks, she reminds me of Lillum when she was first hatched, anyway I'll be sticking around to make sure that Ruby is well taken care of, seems like she will need a new outfit made of spider silk instead of these rags… I see a few holes here or there… where are we anyway?" Serina said while Kakashi filled her in on everything and when Serina heard everything, she hums as she looks at the sharingan wielding sensei.
"I see… no wonder you want little Ruby to brave that mean old Gato's lair so she can keep everyone safe… oh my brave little Ruby, will you be able to do that for mama?" Serina said as she snuggles her face against Ruby's body while Emerald got to his feet and Ruby remembered hearing about if this wasn't done, her new papa would be in serious danger and Ruby had a determined look on her face.
"You can count on me mama. I'll make the spider clan proud." Ruby said with a very cute and determined voice.
Serina smiles while she looks at the others while most besides Lillum were surprised.
"Hehe, Told you she was a fast grower… anyway Naruto, make sure my daughter gets to this Haku woman safely… understand?" Serina said while she eyesmiles at Naruto… though thanks to how Serina was… it was like she was giving a message… anything that happens to Ruby… Naruto would pay big time.
"S-Sure. No problem." Naruto said as he now has it make sure Ruby makes it… or else… big funeral.
The time passed to much later with Naruto and Emerald following him as Emerald carried Ruby while they were going to a meeting point to where Haku would meet them after she sent a message that she was free for now to do so.
Once the people met up, Emerald looks at Haku with a smile.
"Hehe, hey there Haku, been awhile." Emerald said when he made some small talk as Naruto got a good look at Haku for a moment.
'So that's her. She is quite cute looking.' Naruto thought.
"Indeed it has Emerald." Haku said before noticing Naruto.
"I see you brought the spider summoner."
"Indeed… and here is the Spider who will be joining you, Serina's latest daughter, and thanks to Naruto here from imprinting at a bad time… my daughter Ruby." Emerald said while he held a cute Kimono clad Ruby towards Haku.
"Hi there. I'm Ruby." Ruby said with a smile.
Haku was a bit confused at what Emerald said while Naruto put his two cents.
"Don't ask. Trust me. You don't want to know."
"Yeah… trust me… nuff said Ruby is a smart girl and can change into a small spider so she can locate things for you." Emerald said when Ruby smiles and transformed into the adorable small Spider look she has.
Seeing this made Haku smile a bit.
"Well good to have you aboard, Ruby. And thank you Emerald for keeping your word."
"No problem… though we do have a serious issue… you see Naruto here…" Emerald said as he filled Haku in on Touka and her goal for Zabuza's sword, and the fact she may appear after the fight if it's not interrupted to get the sword and possibly finish everyone weakened off.
Once he finished Emerald said this.
"Naruto did have good intentions but thanks to some bad wording on his part, Touka may stick around until things finish and may try something to get us to fight one another so try and watch out." Emerald said with a concerned look on his face.
All Haku did was glare at Naruto with hatred now for causing a lot of new problems.
Naruto knew what that feeling was.
"Emerald… if I die… I'm taking you with me."
"Fine though I would be more worried your parents in the afterlife would get onto you and stuff if we do die so let's try our best not to do that… anyway Haku-chan, Naruto didn't mean any harm… trust me, not a mean bone in his body… anyway try and take care of Ruby or Naruto and I won't have to worry about the mission… but Serina." Emerald said as he and Naruto shudder at the thought.
Haku raised her eyebrow after hearing that before looking at Emerald.
"For you Emerald, I'll keep your daughter safe."
"Hehe thanks, I owe you one Haku-chan, maybe after this if this plan goes well, we can head to Konoha and maybe go on a date or something." Emerald said while he smiles at Haku.
Haku blushes a bit as Naruto was surprised.
"If things go well as planned… I'll consider it."
"Hehe, great, again sorry about Naruto, he is a great guy, I mean when I met him I was emotionless and stuff but thanks to him I'm pretty expressive now." Emerald said while he gave Haku another smile.
"I see… I might forgive him… later if we don't deal with that brat of Zabuza." Haku said.
"You and me both. I don't want to see her either." Naruto said.
"Knowing our Luck Naruto, when do we ever get an easy out in tense situations?" Emerald said like he knew Touka would appear and stuff.
Naruto sweatdrops.
"Honestly never… no offense to you Haku but… angry women are troublesome."
"Trust me, he knows this from personal experience, nuff said he has Sakura on his team, nuff said from her alone." Emerald said while he looks amused as Ruby giggles.
"Oh come on Ruby, don't laugh at a man while he is down." Naruto said while he gave a funny pout.
Ruby giggles more making Haku giggle before Naruto throws his hands up.
"Forget this." He said before he starts walking away.
"Hey Naruto, wait up, we're done teasing you… anyway see you Haku-chan, take care of Ruby for me." Emerald said before he ran after Naruto.
Haku then looks at Ruby.
"Ready to start your mission, Ruby?"
"Kunoichi Ruby ready for duty!" Ruby said with a cute look on her tiny determined spider face.
Haku smiles kindly at her.
"Then let's go." She said before leaving while carrying Ruby.
Ruby giggles as she was carried from the area and after a few hours, she was set outside of a large building that had a bad feeling about it and Ruby looks a bit worried though Haku helped calm Ruby when she pointed at a nearby vent.
"Don't worry Ruby. You'll do fine. Just go inside that vent and no one will see you." Haku said.
Ruby nods her head and she turns into a Spider before she scurried into the vent, this left Haku alone as she went into the buildings main entrance.
Once she was inside, she heard soft scuttling from Ruby as she worked her way into the building complex while Ruby remembers what Emerald told her.
"Remember Ruby, we need physical evidence… word of mouth won't do, but try and stay safe if worse comes to worse we fight Zabuza's crew, hopefully just knocking people out." Emerald said to not worry Ruby in her thoughts when she remembers that talk.
'I won't let you down papa.' Ruby thought with a determined look as she continues working her way in the building.
As she worked her way inside, she heard some things that made her frown like how some of Gato's thugs boasted a bit on what Gato has cooking so they don't have to pay that Zabuza thug.
"Hehe, this is fun. Can't wait to see the look on that Zabuza's dumb face when he finds out that the boss will double cross him and his lackies." One thug said.
"Hehe, no kidding, hopefully we can have that Haku bitch all to ourselves once the Boss finishes off those Ninja bastards." Another thug said while Ruby was steaming but she knew that she could use this if she played her cards right… for now however she had to find Gato's office so she scuttled along through the vents to try and find the place.
'Haku-Chan is not gonna like this after I tell her. Now where is that big meanie's office?' Ruby thought as she kept looking around.
Thankfully she didn't have to wonder long, she managed to find Gato as he was walking by and she saw how short the guy looked while he had a pretty pissed off look on his face.
"This is bullshit. I hired one of the best rogue ninja and he and his allies couldn't handle a bunch of leaf ninjas. Not to mention the disrespect of that mask bitch." Gato said.
Ruby frowns at this but she smirks when she followed Gato to his office with him being none the wiser, she peeked in from a vent so she could watch Gato as he waddled around his office rummaging through things.
"Well, it doesn't matter. I wasn't gonna pay them anyway." Gato said as he went to his desk and takes out some paper work while grinning.
"If they managed to beat those leaf ninjas, I'll give these to the real hunter nins that want Zabuza's head more than anyone else. Though I do hope that Haku bitch is spared, she'll be quite useful to me in my sex traffic ring. I might even take those leaf bitches too while I'm at it."
Ruby frowns more as she watched Gato put the papers away, once Gato left after he put them in a safe, Ruby came out of hiding and changed into her human form so she could look around better.
'Now to get the evidence.' Ruby thought as she went to find any secrets about Gato and his organization.
Thanks to some work, and a quick acidic Jutsu, Ruby managed to open a safe and she found some documents for a plan for his goons to come to him at a certain time, this was a little after the intended fight and it was a bonus for any who could kill the most ninja in Gato's handwriting while any females spared would get double the bonus… if this wasn't proof, than nothing was.
"Oh you're going down you evil midget." Ruby muttered.
Though what she didn't know was that behind her was Grigori somehow and he had his sword pointed at Ruby and cleared his throat to get her attention.
Ruby jolt before she turns around and was shocked when she saw Grigori behind her.
Grigori on his end was quiet and all he did was use a hand to gesture for Ruby to pass him those papers, he wouldn't spare a child if needed when his sword was ready to strike if Ruby tried anything funny.
Ruby remembered what her dad said about Grigori.
"Wait, you don't know what Gato is planning. He intends to double cross your boss. I heard him. Believe me. My dad is a friend to Haku-chan. She asked me for my help." She whispers.
Grigori narrows his eyes under his mask and he made another gesture for the paperwork… seems just words won't change Grigori's mind about anything and this girl was a pure unknown to him.
Ruby didn't want to let go of the evidence but has no choice.
"Fine here." She whispers as she hands Grigori the paperwork.
"But if you don't believe me then… at least look at them first and see for yourself. Haku-Chan is waiting for me and now because of you, she'll be disappointed."
Grigori just narrows his eyes more and he looks at the paperwork while he had a serious look on his face when he read everything and blinks a few times while he looks at Ruby when he quickly folds the papers and pockets them after he closed the safe and used a quick Jutsu to hide the damage.
He than points at the vent with his sword and it was like he was telling Ruby to leave before he changed his mind… seems he was going to talk with Haku or at least bring the papers to her to see if they were legit.
Ruby nods her head before she turns herself small and goes inside the vent so she can meet up with Haku.
After this happened and Grigori left, Ruby went to meet up with Haku when she saw her leaving the building and she noticed Ruby in turn coming from the vent.
"Ruby, I take it your excursion went well?" Haku said when she went to talk with Ruby out of sight.
Ruby nods her head.
"Yes. I overheard that short troll and his thugs about double crossing your master. Gato even has plans for you and Daddy's lady friends." She said before feeling bummed.
"Sadly… your silent friend caught me and he has the proof with him even after reading them. Told him I was your friend."
"Silent Friend?, You mean Grigori?, How did he catch you unless… he figured that with Naruto, he may have tried to use a Spider and stuff for this… I'll speak with Grigori now so you head on back Ruby-chan." Haku said while she pets Ruby on the head for a moment.
"Okay." Ruby said before she starts heading back to Tazuna's house.
Haku smiles at Ruby before she went back into the facility to look for Grigori.
'Dammit Grigori. Hope you listen to me at least.' Haku thought as she kept looking for him.
Thankfully she found him in a hallway and he stopped once she got close to him.
"Hello Grigori. I take it that you saw the documents?" Haku said.
All Grigori did was nod his head which showed he did.
"Well if you know what Gato is planning to do then we need to warn Zabuza and Bruno." Haku said.
Grigori than did some hand signs, not Ninjutsu but a special way to talk since Grigori didn't want anyone to overhear them.
"It's not Bruno you need to convince, it's Zabuza you need to talk with, even if you do, don't expect a favorable response given how Zabuza has a vendetta against Kakashi and Helios, best results Zabuza just kills Gato for the treachery but not before he gets the cash from Gato, worst result, he kills Gato but still wants to try and kill those two at least." Grigori signed while he had a calm expression on his face.
Haku sighs.
"Yes. I know convincing Zabuza-sama will be hard. But he needs to set his vengeance on hold. The leaf ninja could be of some help. Besides… Zabuza's daughter is also here in the village looking for him, which is another problem."
Grigori looks surprised and he gave some hand signs for the full story explanation from Haku though he also told her to use hand signs to talk since some of Gato's goons were walking by.
Haku nods her head before she used her hand signs to explain to Grigori how she had been in contact with some of the leaf ninja, then requested Naruto to summon a spider to help find proof of Gato's betrayal. She even told Grigori how Naruto met Touka and… how bad things ended thanks to bad wording.
Grigori sweatdrops and he signs this.
"You sure we can trust them after a story like that?" Grigori signs when he found what Naruto did questionable.
Haku was quiet for a bit before doing a hand sign.
'With Naruto… a bit iffy thanks to him but… Emerald is the only one that has my trust.' She hand signs though mentioning Emerald made the fake Hunter nin blush a bit.
Grigori had a half lidded look when he heard that.
"Considering what I just heard, maybe you shouldn't worry about Kakashi or Helios but Zabuza going after that Emerald guy… still signing here won't get us far, let's go speak with Zabuza and see if we can convince him to forego going after the bridge builder… though until we get this situation over with… try and not speak too fondly of that Emerald guy, may get Zabuza's blood boiling for a couple reasons." Grigori signed though he did look teasing at the end for a moment as he starts walking from Haku.
Haku sweatdrops at the image of Zabuza going after Emerald before she quickly follows Grigori.
Once she followed Grigori, she and Grigori enter a room and saw Zabuza applying some bandages to his arms when he looked to be at full power and he noticed Grigori and Haku.
Once that happens, Grigori made hand signs making Zabuza raise an eyebrow when he saw Grigori using his special signs to speak.
"Zabuza, we have to speak and it's important, it deals with Gato… thanks to Haku, she found evidence that Gato will double cross us and it's in this letter, Haku had the aid of that ninja from the leaf, the one that summoned those spiders if you remember, it's a long story but this letter is legit before you ask." Grigori signed as he passed Zabuza the letters from Gato's office.
Zabuza frowns a bit before he takes the letter and looks at it before his face looked pissed.
"That son of… Haku… I don't like the fact that you asked a genin of Hatake for help… but I'll let it slide." He said.
Haku was relieved for that part but she had to tell him.
"There's more Zabuza-sama. Your daughter is here… looking for you."
"Daughter?, You'll have to be specific Haku, we have been in many lands and while I'll admit to having a fling or two, I don't keep track on if the women I bed have kids or not." Zabuza said while he pockets the letter a moment later.
Haku sweatdrops.
"The Leaf nin Naruto, the one who can summon spiders, has met your daughter. Her name is Touka. Her mother was one of your… one night stands at Mist. I was told that she tends to take your weapon."
"Touka?... well if she wants to try and take my Kubikiribocho, she will have to do it by killing me and prying it from my cold dead hands, that is if she can… until than we will ignore the welp who came for my weapon… Grigori, get Bruno… we're going to meet with Kakashi and his team, depending on how things go, we may either fight them and kill Gato since I'm still pissed about that fight, or just focus on Gato, I don't like to lose a fight after all… in the meantime Haku… go ahead and let those leaf ninja know about this meeting and they better not try anything funny… we know what they can do but they don't know what you can do so we have the edge if they want to try and trick us… you may trust them somehow, but I'm not so trusting, for all we know this could be just a forgery so that our two groups won't have to fight, after all the Leaf ninja's mission is to protect the bridge builder, not kill Gato while ours is to kill the Bridge Builder… Gato on the other hand I could care less, if this stuff is legit, we're going to kill that freaking midget slowly and painfully since I don't like the fact that if this is real… well… I doubt you need a reason why since he pretty much threatened us… play along and pretend we don't know anything for now… may as well turn Gato's plan against him if this is legit." Zabuza said when he looks at Haku as Grigori walked out of the room to fetch Bruno.
"Yes, Zabuza-sama." Haku said before she went to leave the room while glad that Emerald wasn't brought up.
"Oh and Haku… I'm not sure why you're so friendly with the group but I'm not an idiot since you've been gone from this building for awhile a few times... but if I hear even a peep about something inappropriate, I'll make sure that person is pretty much worth your time, don't want a weakling with you after all." Zabuza said while he lifts his weapon and placed it on his shoulder.
Haku jolts after hearing that before lightly gulping.
"Y-Yes Zabuza-sama." She said before she hurried out the room to avoid more awkwardness.
Zabuza chuckles while he looks thoughtful a moment later as he looks out of a window.
"Touka huh?... wonder if she would be a challenge." Zabuza said while the scene went to a bit later with Haku meeting up with Emerald and surprisingly Kakashi while Naruto was meditating nearby when he wanted better chakra control.
"OK… so what you're saying is that Zabuza will meet up with us later and depending on how things go, we may not have to fight more or less?... I must say this is going better than I thought but in your honest opinion… Haku was it?, what are the odds of Zabuza wanting to start a fight anyway?" Kakashi said while he eyesmiles at Haku for a moment when he saw her, seems his students, different team aside had good taste in women with Haku being a beautiful woman.
"Honestly… I have no answer since… well this is Zabuza-sama we're talking about. But I do know that he hates getting cheated out of a deal. Plus he did allow me to talk to you for a meet so… we can say its a silver lining. Still weary of that Touka woman showing up." Haku said.
"Right… guess I won't have to deal with Zabuza but his daughter if she showed up and stuff." Emerald said while he was unaware of Zabuza's protectiveness of Haku while he crossed his arms.
"Right… Though be careful when you're around him Emerald. That's all I'm saying." Haku said.
As Emerald looks confused, Serina came by while she carried Ruby and she saw Haku.
"Oh hello there, are you the Haku woman I heard about?" Serina said while Ruby saw Haku and smiles at her while she rests in her mothers arms.
Haku blinks when she saw the woman.
"That is correct. Are you Ruby's mother?"
"Indeed, nice to meet you Haku-chan, I heard about you from Ruby, she spoke well of you." Serina said while she approached Haku and Haku saw how shapely Serina was… made sense with how shapely Lillum was and seems Ruby would get that figure years from now.
"I see… well your daughter was helpful when she told me what Gato was planning." Haku said as she pets Ruby's head softly.
Ruby giggles from this while Serina smiles at the sight.
"Hehe, seems Ruby is rather friendly with you, who knows, if things go well… I could give you a reward of sorts… heard about your unique body and lets just say I'm intrigued more or less." Serina said while she smirks teasingly at Haku for a moment.
Haku was a bit surprised at the forwardness before blushing a bit.
"I-I see." She said.
Serina giggles a bit for a moment as she turned away from the others.
"I'll be heading back to Tazuna's home, I'll see you three later." Serina said while Kakashi and Emerald waved goodbye while Naruto opened one eye and nods his head before he went back to meditating so he could keep a good flow going.
"Interesting woman. So is there a plan of sorts once we meet?" Haku said.
"Well hopefully we can just have a simple talk first of all, but if that Gato guy is going to get involved we may have to plan a trap for the guy to bring him out into the open, maybe instead of a fight to the death we have a battle where no one dies?, Zabuza would get his battle urges out of his system, Gato would come out of hiding and depending on how things go even if Touka appears, she won't cause much issues since we wouldn't be as injured as we would be if we were out to kill one another." Kakashi suggests since if it was just Gato, this would be simple, but now they had to plan for Touka as well just in case and if she was a Demon of the mist or at least an inheritor of the official title, her skills wouldn't be underestimated.
" I suggest someone keeps an eye on Naruto if he sees Touka again." Haku said making Naruto get a tick mark on his head.
"Well not happening since I refuse to see her." He said before grumbling.
"And again Naruto… what are the odds of our luck when it comes to an easy out again?" Emerald said while he gave Naruto a half lidded look.
Naruto was just quiet before he turns around and goes back to meditating.
Emerald shrugged at this as he looks at Haku.
"Eh he will get better, just strings of bad luck on his end lately, hopefully he can get some things out of his system in the *Fight* to be." Emerald said when he gave some finger quotes on the fight part.
Haku sweatdrops.
"Right…" Haku said though she believes that Naruto is making himself look more bad now.
"Yeah… anyway if you can tell Zabuza this, this could help with a lot of things, can even give Zabuza the killing blow with Gato if it will help him follow along with the plan." Emerald said while he hoped that would get Zabuza more on board once Haku tells him this later.
Haku was thoughtful.
"I supposed that can work." She said.
"Hopefully… anyway we'll see you later Haku-chan, hopefully things will go well and nothing bad happens, just in case though you may want to expect unexpected situations." Emerald said when he had a feeling in his gut things would get complicated soon.
"Surprisingly… I'm ready expecting something to happen." Haku said before she left the duo and by proxy, Naruto.
Kakashi looks at Emerald."
"So… is she gonna be girlfriend number 2?" He said with an eyesmile.
"Won't lie, maybe… that is if Zabuza doesn't try and kill me if he is protective of Haku and stuff… Lillum likes her so Haku won't have trouble fitting in back home… still I get the feeling we're missing something here, I just can't put my finger on what though." Emerald said while Kakashi chuckles a bit.
"Well if we were as prepared for Gato as we are now, I wouldn't expect much given a number of things… I mean whats the worst that guy can do with just thugs?" Kakashi said as the scene went to Gato right as he was walking by a building with a couple thugs at his side for protection though Touka moved to land right in front of Gato and his goons.
"Gato I presume?" Touka said when she eyed the smaller man in charged of the Land of waves.
Gato raised an eyebrow.
"Yes and who are you?"
"Simple, I'm Touka, a hidden mist Ninja who is Zabuza's daughter though I wouldn't say we are family since he was never there for my mother and I'm after Zabuza's weapon… I have info you maybe interested in and it concerns the soon to be battle with the Rogue ninja you hired and the Hidden leaf ninja your worried about… in exchange for Zabuza's weapon I'm willing to lend you a hand in your soon to be betrayal of Zabuza and his team, you can do with them as you will but I want the Kubikiribocho, the massive greatsword, that Zabuza has, and you should take my offer now, Zabuza happens to know about your soon to be betrayal… I watched his protoge Haku talk with the ninja, Emerald and that blonde haired Ninja Naruto that I ran into here, and long story short it seems your plans were given to the one called Grigori and soon got to Zabuza's hands… and since you're a crime lord more or less, I assume you can use your brain to put two and two together on what can happen if Zabuza decides to come after you with his allies… pretty sure your thugs here wouldn't stand a chance and before you scoff at my skills… I'm also a Demon of the mist title inheritor and if you heard about how that than you should know killing your guards and yourself now would be childsplay to me… it's not a threat but a promise before you start throwing insults… the practice for that title was pretty much discontinued recently and my class was the final one and I was the final Demon of the mist in Kirigakure… Now Gato… considering the odds are stacking against you, I would suggesting taking my offer of aid… you can even check to see if your plans in your office is still there or not… I'll wait here but know time is limited." Touka said while she crossed her arms.
Gato was shocked after hearing everything and despite the fact that Touka was a stranger to him, he had a bad feeling that the Mist nin was telling the truth.
"Alright… I'll take your offer."
"Good… and don't worry, I won't require compensation aside Zabuza's weapon, only thing I will need is medical supplies and what not in case I get injured in the soon to be fight, I'll be in touch so once you gather the required items on this list, I'll meet with you in a couple hours." Touka said when she passed Gato a note for a small list of items that she would require for her attack on Zabuza's group.
Gato blinks when he saw the list before looking at Touka.
"As long as they kill each other, I'll make sure you get the items."
Touka hums as she heard that.
"Unlikely, best chance we will get is a play fight so to speak between the two groups if they are going to be working together, chances are they will be planning for you to show to boast… don't underestimate Ninja, you'll need more than just thugs like these to take them on even if weakened." Touka said as one of Gato's thugs was ticked off by that.
"Hey watch what you say bitch or I'll-!" The thug said before his head was destroyed by Touka and blood spurts from the body when she used a quick stab of a sword while water seemed to be wrapped around the blade for a large pressurized blast of sorts while she looks coldly at the body that fell before she looks at Gato once she sheathed her blade.
"I hope this will show that ninja are NEVER to be underestimated Gato… the moment you do is when they will strike the hardest and before you shake things off… you really better hope no one pays for real ninja… if the bridge builder did, he would have more Chuunin or Jonin but there are still two Jonin and some abnormally strong Genin that would be close to Chunnin level or Jonin in some cases… now if you'll excuse me I'll be going… oh… and try and betray me Gato and you won't be dealing with Zabuza or those Leaf ninja… and I doubt you'll see it coming, just a word of warning in case what I showed wasn't much if my father showed you other things." Touka said before she vanished with serious speed leaving Gato and the leftover thug while they look at the dead body on the ground as it bled out more.
"I got a bad feeling about this boss." The leftover thug said as he shudders at the dead body.
Gato grits his teeth as he passed the thug the note.
"Oh shut it and get the things on this list, and get someone to clean this mess up… I got some planning to do." Gato said as she walked away from the thug with the note now in his hands.
"Y-Yes sir." The thug said before leaving.
As Gato left, he grumbles about Ninja and their ways though unless he wanted to die, he would have to work with Touka or die… simple as that.
As this happened with all sides getting ready for the battles ahead, one thing was clear as the scene fades to black... it would get bloody in the land of waves soon… question is which side will supply the blood?
