Author's note: Hey guys hope y'all aren't too mad at me for taking so long to update my chapters but all I have to say is you guys are in for a real treat. In the months to come when I finally get through the chunin exams arc I have a lot planned and a lot more coming. Naruto will learn more about his history that he never knew (Which I'm going to make up and go with it because this is my fic so fuck you) anyways hope you guys enjoy!
With Zabuza and haku, Gato's hideout
"We've learned all we can from this man, should we end him now and then kill his cronies and take the money?" Haku asked hoping to get a yes. "With the money in this man's vaults we will have enough to help the rebellion and maybe even hire some other missing ninja to help out." Haku said to further strengthen what she said.
"You're right but I'm not strong enough to take on this entire base even with you helping there are almost a thousand mercenaries here. As sad as it is my body isn't fully healed yet. I don't know what that blond brat did to me, but somehow I still got hurt, maybe I overexerted myself killing all those clones or he got a good lucky hit on me. Anyway, do you still have that scroll? The one the blond brat gave you." Zabuza asked his ice cold friend.
"Yes Zabuza-sama it's right here" she pulled it out of her pocket and handed it to her master. The man wasted no time opening the scroll and summoning out the clone that was inside it.
The clone was in a trance, he was zoned out and not even aware of his surroundings. He was mumbling to himself, the words weren't making sense. Zabuza was kind of intrigued by what was going on but in the end didn't care enough.
"Hey kid shut the hell up" Zabuza went to punch the clone but the clone's fist caught Zabuza's and his trance was broken. The clone smiled and Zabuza grinned, "Good now that you're done all I have to say is no deal, I want a real fight with Kakashi and you again. After the fight if I got what I wanted then we'll talk, now before you disperse I want you to go through this compound and kill as many guards as you can then report back to me unless you die ok Gaki" the towering man said.
"Why should I listen to you? You're telling me that you won't take my deal and then you want to order me around?" Naruto asked the man, Zabuza just shrugged his shoulders not even caring. NAruto groaned thinking to himself, then again he is just a clone.
"Fuck it, it'll be fun to let loose see ya guys later, and Zabuza sorry if you die" the Naruto clone said with a sadistic smirk before hiding into the shadows as it went on it's killing spree. Zabuza assumed that Naruto was going to be quiet about this… Boy was he wrong. "What did he mean, sorry if I die?" Zabuza thought to himself.
"Man they're a lot of guards here.. Well time to make a grand opening" the clone thought before he made two large rasengans in each hand and charged destroying two walls killing a few guards. This set the alarm off in the compound as guards started running to the source of the explosion. Naruto smirked, "Now's a good a time as ever" Naruto thought. "Tatsumaki rendan" Naruto whispered to himself after going through a couple hand seals and hoping the jutsu would work and not instantly destroy himself.
For a second nothing happened and the guards started running at him but then out of nowhere the boy started to float as a violent wind surrounded his body. "This is actually working" Naruto thought, he was in control of the giant deathly winds and he couldn't help but smile. The tornado quickly grew in size and literally started to rip the base in half. Naruto was actually controlling the winds, he tried to move a straight line away from Zabuza and towards the opposite side of the base. It was starting to work and he was destroying everyone and everything he could.
But even with his massive reserves his version of the tatsumaki rendan took to much chakra and suddenly the clone dispersed and the tornado died with no more chakra filling it leaving the base utterly destroyed and hundreds of guards dead and injured.
"My god what is that boy" Zabuza said as he stared wide eyed at the destruction that had just taken place, it lasted only a few seconds but a third of the base was destroyed and hundreds were dead or injured. "Haku if you fight that boy be careful… and do not hold back" Zabuza said in all seriousness. Honestly he didn't even want her to fight that kid but he knew it may come down to it if he was busy with Kakashi. Maybe he shouldn't have her go to the fight at all and just keep her safe.
The girl already knew not to but was grateful that he was showing that he cared even if just a little. "Hai, Zabuza-sama" she said with her usual emotionless demeanor.
Out of nowhere Gato came screaming into their room, "WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU, YOU BIG FUCKING DUMBASS? WE WERE ATTACKED AND YOU DID NOTHING!?" Gato was furious with the man. "MY ENTIRE FUCKING FORTRESS JUST GOT DESTROYED AND YOU JUST LIED HERE DOING NOTHING, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?"
"First of all shut the fuck up." Zabuza started flooding his Kai, making Gato cower, "How do you expect me to fight when I'm recovering? You have guards. And secondly, that was a tornado how do you expect me to take on nature? I can't do that dumbass" Zabuza said in a very monotone voice showing how he didn't care at all. "Like honestly tell me what I am supposed to do against a tornado? Ask it nicely to please leave us alone so we can keep bleeding those town people dry and rape its women? If anything you deserved this it's called karma." Zabuza said before taking a breath and rolling over in his bed "Now get out of here before I get out of bed to hurt you" Gato was furious but he wasn't stupid, he left the room, but was already planning on how to kill of Zabuza once his usefulness was gone.
Meanwhile with Naruto and gang….
Naruto was training with Arashi before the boy zoned out and stopped moving as he started getting the memories of his clone back. After a couple minutes of processing everything Naruto grinned to himself. First off his clone was the first to successfully use the Tatsumaki Rendan and then Zabuza all but agreed to joining them after one more good fight with Kakashi, which, in all honesty was easy enough to happen.
"Naruto-sama is everything ok!?" Naruto finally registered Arashi talking to him and how worried the man looked. He forgot where he was and what was going on. The clone being in the dead zone that is in a scroll was something else. The clone nearly lost it's sanity.
"Sorry Arashi-kun I had a clone dispel and got the memories back and it's very good for me, it learned a lot and did some destruction, anyways back to our fight, taijutsu only" Naruto said.
Arashi nodded, he was curious to know more but didn't press on. He just wanted to make sure his master was ok. He got confirmation when Naruto spoke to him, so he quickly resumed the fight. Charging in, he threw a punch towards the blonde's face, the boy quickly grabbed Arashi's arm and redirected the punch before leaning his body backwards doing a flip aiming a kick for his servants jaw. The man quickly jumped upwards to dodge it and threw a kunai at blinding speeds.
Naruto quickly countered throwing a shuriken knocking the kunai off course. Being the dramatic he is waited for the two pieces of metal to clash into the ground before he moved. Well Arashi wasn't waiting for shit as he appeared in front of the boy with a kick aimed at his neck. Naruto's eyes widened before he quickly bent his body backwards as far back as he could. Arashi took advantage of this and twisted his body slamming his foot down onto Naruto's chest slamming the boy into the ground. Or so he thought as a loud poof was made showing that he was fighting a clone the entire time.
"Well you lasted longer than I thought, but Kakashi is still stronger if that's all you got. Including if he's using his sharingan" Naruto stated as he walked out of the forest into the clearing.
"Forgive me Naruto-sama, but I was holding back if you wish it though then I shall go all out against you." Arashi said as he stared down naruto.
The small blond boy appeared behind his servant and whispered in the man's ear "If you hold back against me you will die."
Arashi's eyes widen as he didn't even see the boy move until he was already behind him by the time Arashi had turned around Naruto was already back in his original spot in front of the man."So this is the monster of a shinobi you've already become… you will make a name for yourself in no time Naruto-sama. It seems as if you've already surpassed me but just how far are you going to go." The man couldn't help but wonder as he stared at the ever growing enigma that was Naruto. "There is nothing I can bring against you Naruto-sama, we both know that you are better than me so why continue this game of cat and mouse?"
"Because you need to get strong also. You spent who knows how many years in Uzushiogakure by yourself, the fact that you didn't go insane is amazing. So for now I will train with you to help you get stronger. Plus there are things that you know that you can teach me. For one Kenjutsu, I don't know how to use a sword let alone hold one correctly, and the use of seals? You are probably way above my level." Naruto finished as he looked at the man.
Arashi resided in silence and nodded, Naruto continued though,"The future holds many strong enemies and at our level we are not strong enough to do anything. Hell as I am right now I can maybe defeat a third of the enemies to come and that's because they won't expect me to be this strong. I can surprise them and use it to my advantage, and you maybe the same if not less just because of your experience alone. I need to get us stronger to help us stop what is to come" Naruto said confusing the man.
"What enemies are you talking about Naruto-sama? Who is threatening you?"Arashi was left utterly confused as he stared down his master in the field.
"Don't worry about it, for now fight me and get stronger, because until you can beat me you are no help to me" Naruto said as the two clashed in battle. Arashi was not happy with the answer he was given and that was very clear. Naruto didn't care though and continued fighting for the next few hours. Hell Naruto even kept on all his weights so to stay at an even level for Arashi and make the battle more even.
Arashi and Naruto lied on the ground side by side breathing heavily and bleeding as they relaxed looking at the moon. "You did good today, I believe I can learn as much from you as you can from me. You need to learn to utilize your jutsu's more though, like me you're an Uzumaki and I can feel the power radiating off of you. You have nearly twice as much chakra as Kakashi, not as much as me but still a lot, the reserves of a weak kage, but a kage nonetheless. You're also a ninja no? Be dirty don't fight fair or you will never beat me, use seals and your surroundings against me."
"I'm sorry Naruto-sama but you have to remember even though I look young I am fairly old, the Uzumaki blood just helps me look young and healthy. I'm actually in my late fifties" He said while Naruto sweat drop.
"I guess he has been alone since kaa-san left as a kid which was well over twenty years ago. But to think he's as old as Ero-sennin or older.." "Well you look great for your age and with my help you'll live to one hundred if not older." Naruto said while doing his 'Nice Guy' pose.
Arashi chuckled to himself slightly, "Man this Gaki really reminds me of you Kushina-sama, *Mental Sigh* Don't worry Kushina-sama I swear to take care of your son no matter what." Arashi thought to himself as he watched Naruto's antics.
With Zabuza
"Tomorrow I should be ready?" The man asked as he wrapped his face up in bandages to hide his freakish shark teeth.
"Hai Zabuza-sama, do you wish to proceed with plans and attack tomorrow or wait? We've already looted the vaults here, it wasn't hard that sorry excuse for a man is to busy trying to get more henchmen than to worry about his actual vaults. We have more than enough money to go back to Kiri and support the troops for months. we have no reason to even stay here." Haku said as she kneeled before Zabuza,
The man looked down at the girl before him as he thought to himself. "She poses a good question, we got the money, I have no obligation to stay, it's not like I have to keep my word to that little brat, so what he can do a few flashy jutsu but it's obvious the toll it will take on his body plus the high chakra cost, even for a kage would be demanding. The kid couldn't seriously take me on even if he wanted to. But he does have some speed, it's no matter… But then again fighting that kid and gave me a thrill that I haven't had in years. It also showed me I've gotten weaker" Zabuza sat in thought for a few minutes, not a word spoken between himself or Haku as he thought to himself. He thought he had been in good shape having been on the run, but really he was weak. He was malnourished and no where near what he was when he attempted the coup d'etat.
"Zabuza-sama..?" Haku asked interrupting Zabuza from his train of thought, most likely for the best.
"Huh? What?" Zabuza had honeslt thought the girl said more before he processed what she said, "Yea sorry I got lost in thinking about this, but we are going to stay I want to fight that blond brat and Kakashi again! And this time you will stop those brats from interfering… But if you meet that blond kid instead of I, then use that jutsu. And be wary of him he is probably strong enough to fight me, I doubt he would win but he could fight me for a while and with Kakashi there… well even I know my limits." Zabuza said looking her down fiercely.
With a hint of surprise in her voice Haku stammers out, "O-Ok Zabuza-sama." "What's this I'm feeling? Gratitude? Love? This can't be… I'm just Zabuza-sama's tool." Haku thought to herself as she was curious as to why Zabuza would warn her. It took her a minute before she realized it was because she couldn't be of use to him if she was dead.
"Sasuke, Sakura" a certain one eyed man called out while closing his por- I mean book.
"Yes sensei" They said at the same time.
"No training today, if I'm right Zabuza should be ready to fight any day now. I figure since the bridge is nearing its finish Zabuza will be wanting to fight soon, so prepare for a battle, no training you guys either stay with me or Tanzua's family for protection." Kakashi said as he looked at the mixed reaction on either genins face.
"Hai sensei" Sakura said with complete obedience.
"What about Naruto? Why does that loser get to train while I have to take it easy? That doesn't seem completely fair now does it." Sasuke said with his little glare of his that wasn't really scaring anyone.
"Naruto has a special ability that helps him to heal faster and replenish his chakra faster, have you guys not noticed this at all. Why do you think every day no matter how hard he has trained and hurt himself he's back up again and good to go?" Kakashi said while the two sat there and pondered that question. While they were thinking he left leaving them more confused and with more questions. The man though quickly left and went to find his sensei's son.
The man didn't have too hard a time of finding Naruto, his chakra was pretty easy to find when he was using jutsu's. He found a clearing and was amazed at what he saw. Hundreds of Naruto's all training in groups each group assigned to do something new. For each area of ninja specialties it seemed like; Fuinjutsu, kenjutsu, taijutsu, water walking/fighting, but no genjutsu. It wasn't hard to find the original Naruto when he had a group of clones attacking him while he fought them off, this was most likely him getting in the physical part of training since his clones can't help in that area.
He decided to walk into the field lazily, some of the clones stopped to look at him but they mostly just ignored him, the original Naruto saw Kakashi walking up and sighed. "Well I should probably hurry and finish you guys off, Kai!" Naruto said releasing his gravity weights. Kakashi watched him closely but his eye widened when he couldn't track Naruto. Before he could take out his sharingan the boy was behind Kakashi and his group of clones destroyed. "Son of a bitch" He muttered grabbing his head from the sudden increase of memories from the hundred clones he killed. "So I guess you finally wanted to talk to me? I knew you would eventually you're a very smart man Kakashi-sensei. You always were." Naruto said that last part with some sadness in his voice.
Kakashi motioned for the boy to follow him, and he did without complaining. They went to a nearby stream and Naruto sat down and started to skip rocks. "So who are you really because even I can tell you're not the real Naruto" Kakashi said, ready to fight if need be.
"First things first, calm down and sit down I'm not here to fight and secondly I am Naruto, just not the one you know. But listen here what I tell you… you must never repeat to anyone which includes hokage-jiji. No one can know this I trust you because I know you wouldn't dare tell anyone. At least not if you don't want to die." Naruto said.
As per he predicted Kakashi didn't move an inch or calm down any but he did ask, "What do you mean not the Naruto I know? Who the hell are you!" His voice was calm, but he was demanding an answer.
Naruto just sighed before lying back putting his arms behind his head as he looked at the sky. "I'm from the future"
"Don't fucking Joke with me" was Kakashi's only response.
"It's true and I can prove it to you, I'll show you my memories, we both know I can't do genjutsu you can feel my reserves, they are way too large for me to attempt a successful one. I can show you parts of the Future to prove it to you." Naruto said with all seriousness as he felt Kakashi's kunai pressing into his neck. "You know it's hard to breath with that thing cutting me" Naruto said as Kakashi hesitantly lowered the weapon.
"You get one chance" Kakashi stated as he stared at the boy.
Naruto nodded and slowly weaved the hand signs for the Flashback no jutsu. When Naruto finished weaving the hand signs and applying the necessary chakra he called out the jutsu and directed it to both him and Kakashi. While in reality only a few seconds had passed, Kakashi felt as if he had lived another twenty years. He saw this same mission but everything happening differently and also from Naruto's point of view. The boy was loud and childish and didn't know a thing about being a ninja and could only do the shadow clone jutsu. The other him seemed to ignore Naruto almost completely and gave more attention to the Uchiha and also didn't even do anything to stop Sakura from either hurting Naruto or to progress her as a ninja.
But that wasn't all he saw, no he saw so much more, more missions and his team growing up and apart. Sasuke defecting and how Naruto chased him, his struggles the final valley, his training trip with Jiraiya. Coming back and still fighting to get Sasuke back, the akatsuki, Asuma's death, Jiraiya's death, Pain. He saw everything. The war and the final valley again. The destruction caused by that, Sasuke and Naruto, the two losing their arms and releasing the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Sasuke leaving Sakura with her child as he decides to find himself. Kakashi as hokage and then Naruto as Hokage, and then the end with Sasuke coming back, everyone overjoyed until that same night he did something horrible. And then his death by the hands of Naruto and his talk with the Kyuubi and coming back to the start.
When the Jutsu was released Kakashi collapsed on the ground and was visibly sweating and breathing hard. His brain was still trying to adjust twenty years of memory while comprehending everything he saw. He lived everything through Naruto's point of view and it was in a sense amazing and horrible. The struggle he lived through, "How" that one word it meant so much and asked for so much. He just couldn't process it he needed something to keep him grounded, he needed to hear Naruto talk and explain.
"How? Well that's a question indeed Kakashi-sensei. But all I have to say is now you know what I lived through, the hell the hurt the small sliver of happiness. You now know everything some things that no one ever knew because I didn't tell anyone. You should understand why I trust you with this information now. The respect and trust I held for you in the future, it followed with me and I hope I can hold that respect for this current you." Naruto paused for a moment, "I'll be honest it's hard living in this time, when I first came here I was tempted to purposely stunt my growth and keep myself weak so as to not raise suspicion, but it didn't take long for me to change my mind. I can't afford to be weak anymore, I have to be strong to protect everyone this time. I refuse to let people be stronger than me, but my body still has limits but I push myself until I collapse to make sure I become stronger. Right now as I am I can probably take on Garra if he's being serious, so I have come far but it's not good enough. I can't let that future take place again. I have to fix things I just can't let everything happen again, that bond I had with Sasuke is gone, he doesn't find me as a rival anymore but as an obstacle and enemy I can see it in his eyes he hates how I'm stronger than him and he doesn't understand why just like last time."
"What can I do to help" Kakashi asked. Naruto smirked and then started to laugh. "What's so funny?"
"I can't tell you what to fucking do, that's what's funny. You need to find your path all I can say is train. You saw what's coming so get stronger. Don't stay where you are get stronger with me and help me change everything. I want the future to stay a mystery because I plan on changing what happened. I plan on meeting dad sooner this time so I can have him teach me his Hirashin, you saw what happened when I used it in the future. I can't properly use it, my reserves get drained I need to master it, and I won't have as much time with him that I did with mom so I'll get what I can. But not till my training trip I plan on getting stronger anywhere else I can. But no matter what Pain will be one of my strongest opponents no matter how strong I get. If he catches wind of how strong I am getting he will keep a close watch on me and if that happens then Obito may send him after me sooner." Naruto said making Kakashi visible flinch at hearing his old friend's name.
Naruto felt a little bad, there was no good way for Kakashi to find out that Obito was still alive. "Kakashi don't put yourself down for what he chose to do, you can't change him not yet. It's terrible what happened to him but nothing we can do will fix him and bring him back he's still lost and will be until the real Madara is brought back. For now we will play his little game of cat and mouse." Naruto said as Kakashi nodded and sat next to the boy.
"We sure are in for a lot aren't we. I don't know where to even start anymore." Kakashi said.
"Just give it your best or stay the fuck out of my way. I'm done being the nice guy from here on out I'm done holding back" Naruto stated as he stood and ditched his jacket throwing it away from him returning to his training as Kakashi got up.
Author's Note: Hey y'all sorry for the long update been hella busy healing up my leg and keeping up with school work and also watching the new Naruto episodes. I have to say that fight at the final valley was better than I could have ever imagined, well anyways until next time.
