Team Cosmic Dragon was in the Forest looking for the Demon Cat Tora yet again. They were hiding in the trees.

Kakashi: Incredibly Cool Kakashi here. What's your distance from the Target?

Nicole: Star Dragons Wrath here. 15.3 feet. Ready to strike.

Lincoln: Thunderbird's Call here. Ready.

Naruto: Nature's Kitsune here. I'm Ready.

Sakura: Cherry Blossom Ocean here. I'm ready too.

Fu: Inferno Butterfly here. Ready.

Juri: Furious Sea Dragon here. Ready to go.

Ami: Serpants Rage here. Ready.

Akiko: Nebula's Star here. Ready.

Sasuke: Raven's Black Knight here. I'm Ready too.

Rin: Phoenix Talon here. So am I.

Kakashi: Okay... NOW!

They all pounce and Juri trapped Tora in a ball of Water.

Nicole: Target identified as lost cat Tora. Retrieved in 10.3 minutes.

Kakashi: Well done guys. Lets head to the Hokage.

Nicole: This is the 92nd time that Tora escaped and we had to do this mission in the course of 4 and a half months.

Naruto: Yeah. We're getting sick of this.

Lincoln: There's nothing we're gonna do.

Nicole: Yeah. But this is our 612th D-Rank mission.

At the Hokage's office Nicole was letting the Hokage know that the Capture Tora mission was done.

Lord Third: Well done to you all. Now your next mission is to pick potatoes...

Nicole: With all due respect Lord Hokage I think we have done enough D-Rank missions or chores to earn a C-Rank Mission.

Iruka: Now you guys are Genin fre...

Lord Hokage held his hand up to Iruka.

Lord Third: Now Iruka she has a good point. What do you think Kakashi?

Kakashi: I think they are ready Lord Hokage.

Lord Third: All right. I have just the mission in mind. You can come in now!

The door opened and in came Tazuna the Bridge Builder.

Tazuna: These are the people that are going to protect me? [Sees Nicole, Lincoln, Naruto, Sakura, Fu and Juri] Well I'll be. Aren't you a sight for these sore eyes. It's good to see you all again Nicole.

Lincoln: You too Tazuna. It's been a while.

Nicole: How have things been in the Land of Waves?

Tazuna: Not good Nicole.

Lord Third: How do you know Tazuna, Nicole?

Nicole: We met on our training trip. It was a year and a half ago and we saw him being harassed by bandits. We saved him and he introduced us to his family. Tazuna is an awesome bridge builder.

Tazuna: Yes. But not as awesome as you all.

They laughed.

Nicole: So what's been going on Tazuna?

Tazuna: The Land of Waves is in big trouble because of Gato.

Fu: Gato the President and CEO of Gato Shipping and Transport? From what I've heard he's one of the richest shipping magnates in the 5 Great Nations.

Tazuna: Yes Fu but that's a front. He's the meanest crime boss in the Criminal Underworld and he arrived in the Land of Waves 6 Months ago. He began taxing all the citizens to the point of poverty and captured some of our women to be sold as slaves on the Black Market. My son in law Kaiza stood up to him but he was captured by Gato's thugs and he had him executed in front of all of us. He stole all of our hope and robbed us of all of our courage. That's why I'm building a bridge to connect the Land of Waves to the Mainland.

Sakura: So it will bring Gato's empire crashing down and he sees you as a huge threat to his operation and will stop at nothing to kill you.

Tazuna: Yes. I only had enough money to afford a C-Rank mission.

Nicole: And without a doubt Gato has hired some Rogue Ninjas to serve him.

Tazuna: I have a feeling you're right Nicole.

Lord Third: Yes. I've heard about Gato's criminal activity and if he has Rogue Ninjas under his employ then this mission is now an A-Rank to low S-Rank.

Tazuna: Yes. I know it's not enough but it was all I had.

Nicole: And Team Cosmic Dragon will answer. It's time to bring an end to Gato's Reign of Terror and save the Wave.

Kakashi: Are you sure you can handle this Nicole?

Nicole: We're very sure Kakashi-sensei. We need to test all of our training and skills against high level Shinobi.

Lord Third: I have a feeling you all will succeed Nicole. But a mission like this is too dangerous.

Nicole: I know Lord Hokage. But how about a wager? If we complete this mission all by ourselves I will tell you the secret on how to defeat the ultimate enemy of all village leaders and Kage: Paperwork.

Lord Third: (Laughs) You've got a deal Nicole. All right, go get them!

Nicole: We will. Hands in guys.

They did so.

All: Team Cosmic Dragon Soar!

Nicole: We leave in 2 hours. Pack everything you all need for a long mission and meet at the gate.

Everyone: Right!

They left the office and got everything ready.

At the gate 2 hours later they were ready.

Nicole: All right here we go. Lets move out.

They walked out towards the Land of Waves. As they trekked through the Land of Fire they saw two puddles up ahead.

Nicole: Hold it. I sense two Chakra signals in those puddles.

Rin: I got this.

Rin fired a ball of fire from her hand at the puddles and it hit the ground and exploded

KABOOM!

Out of the fiery explosion arose the burned bodies of Gozu and Meizu the Demon Brothers.

Naruto: Nice Shot Rin.

Tazuna: That was amazing!

Rin: Thank you.

Nicole: Just as we suspected. Gato did hire Rogue Ninjas. These are the Demon Brothers of the Mist, Gozu & Meizu. C-Rank Rogue Ninjas. They were wanted for a failed assassination attempt on the 4th Mizukage. And if they are here then that means Zabuza Momochi is too.

Naruto concentrated.

Naruto: You're right sis. I sense his signal in the Land of Waves.

Sakura: I sense it too. We encountered Zabuza before on our training trip and he was being attacked by Mist Hunter Ninjas and we saved him. He is a formidable ninja and he didn't earn his moniker the Demon of The Mist for nothing.

Sasuke: He must be a tough ninja.

Rin: I've heard about Zabuza. He is as tough as he is.

Lincoln: I tested my Lightning powers against him and he is a formidable adversary.

Ami: Zabuza is one of my heroes. His swordsmanship skills are the reason I wanted to become a shinobi and I know all of his moves.

Nicole: That's a big inspiration Ami and you're about to meet your idol down the road.

Tazuna: You guys have done it all.

Nicole: We sure have Tazuna. Lets press on.

They pressed on and arrived at the shore and a boat was waiting for them.

Tazuna: (Whispering) Here's our ride back to the Land of Waves.

Nicole: (Whispering) Okay. Lets get in.

Sasuke: Can't we walk on the water?

Fu: Shh. (Whispering) No Sasuke. It will alert the ninjas of our presence and we can't risk that.

Sasuke: (Whispering) Ah. Right.

The boat was being rowed to the island.

They saw a huge bridge and went under it.

Tazuna: (Whispering) There's the bridge. Isn't she a beaut?

Nicole: (Whispering) It's amazing Tazuna. We will establish a trade route and alliance with the Wave when this is over.

Tazuna: (Whispering) We would like that.

After arriving on the shore they got out and went to Tazuna's house. They were in a thick fog.

Rin: This fog is really thick.

Nicole: This is no fog. This is the Hidden Mist Jutsu. Every member of the Seven Ninja Swordsman of the Mist can use this technique.

Naruto: Yeah.

They heard rustling in a nearby bush.

Naruto went over and pulled out a white rabbit.

Naruto: It's Haku's little white rabbit.

Sakura: He sure is a cute little guy.

Nicole: So Haku is with him too.

Fu: I can feel it.

Ami: I hear something.

A whooshing sound was coming towards them.

Nicole: GET DOWN!

They ducked and saw a long cleaver sword fly over them and embed into a tree behind them. Standing on the hilt was Zabuza Momochi himself.

Zabuza: Well looks like the Bridge Builder has a bunch of kids pro... [Sees Nicole, Lincoln, Naruto, Sakura, and Fu] (Laughing) Well I'll be. I didn't know that you would be with them. It's good to see you Nicole, Lincoln, Naruto, Sakura and Fu.

Nicole: You sure have a knack for making awesome scare entrances Zabuza.

Naruto: It's been a while Zabuza.

Zabuza: So the Bridge Builder hired you to protect him huh?

Lincoln: He sure did. [To Tazuna] We also promised to help put a stop to the Bloodline Holocaust that's going on right now in the Mist.

Sakura: Yeah. The 4th Mizukage is rumored to be under the influence of someone and we are gonna help him.

Tazuna: That's a big mission.

Nicole: Yeah.

Zabuza: I wish you all luck Nicole. Who are your friends with you?

Juri: Oh we are her teammates. I'm Juri the Sea Dragon Maiden.

Ami: I'm Ami Mitarashi the Cobra Swordmistress and your biggest fan.

Zabuza: (Laughs) I'm glad I have a source of inspiration.

Akiko: I'm Akiko Suzuki the Maiden of The Nebula.

Sasuke: I'm Sasuke Uchiha.

Zabuza: An Uchiha? I heard that they were all wiped out by one of their own. Itachi Uchiha.

Naruto: That's his older brother.

Sasuke: Yes. I'm now going to kill him for killing the Uchiha.

Zabuza: I'm sorry for your loss.

Sasuke: Thank you and it's all right.

Rin: And I'm Rin Nohara, veteran of the 3rd Great War.

Zabuza: I've seen you before. You're one of the students of Minato Namikaze the 4th Hokage.

Rin: Yeah. I was supposedly Killed In Action and I was found and healed by Orochimaru and given an awesome gift.

Rin spread her wings and they were glowing with fire.

Zabuza: That is amazing. You look like a true angel of fire.

Rin: Yeah. I get that alot.

Zabuza: I heard Orochimaru is now a powerhungry madman out to destroy the Leaf.

Nicole: That's right Zabuza and he's number two on Team Cosmic Dragon's Hitlist. Our number one target is a Rogue Uchiha that caused the 9-Tails Attack on the Leaf and killed the 4th Hokage.

Zabuza: What!? A Rogue Uchiha caused the 9-Tails Attack?

Naruto: Yeah and we will make him pay for killing my father.

Zabuza: I'm so sorry for your loss kid.

Naruto: It's all right Zabuza but thank you.

Zabuza: No problem.

Fu: Is Haku here?

Zabuza: She sure is. Haku! Come on out.

Haku came out and she was dressed in a Mist Hunter Ninja uniform.

Haku: It is good to see you all again Nicole.

Nicole: You too Haku. How have you been?

Haku: I've been good. Thank you.

Nicole: We have a message that we would like you to send to Gato, Zabuza.

Zabuza: What is it?

Nicole: Tell Gato this: "Team Cosmic Dragon has come to kill you and we will make you pay for everything you've done and end your reign of terror for good".

Zabuza: I will see that he gets it. He's gonna be enraged though.

Nicole: It doesn't matter. We are ready and we will make sure that he pays the ultimate price for his crimes against the Land of Waves.

Haku: We wish you all the best and we will see you in a week.

Nicole: We will and thank you.

Zabuza and Haku left and they proceeded to Tazuna's house.

They arrived in 30 minutes.

Tazuna opened the door they went in.

Tazuna: Tsunami I'm home!

A woman came and it was Tsunami, Tazuna's daughter.

Tsunami: Dad you're home safe.

Tazuna and Tsunami hugged.

Nicole: It's good to see you again Tsunami.

Tsunami: Nicole, Lincoln, Naruto, Sakura, Fu. It's great to see you all again.

Lincoln: You too Tsunami. We were told everything thats been happening in the Land of Waves and we answered the call for help.

Tsunami: We greatly appreciate it Lincoln.

Nicole: Oh these are our teammates and we are now Team Cosmic Dragon.

Juri: I'm Juri the Sea Dragon Maiden.

Ami: I'm Ami Mitarashi the Cobra Swordmistress.

Akiko: I'm Akiko Suzuki the Maiden of The Nebula.

Rin: I'm Rin Nohara, Veteran of the 3rd Great War.

Sasuke: And I'm Sasuke Uchiha it's a pleasure to meet you.

Tsunami: It's a pleasure to meet you all. I was just about to start dinner make yourselves comfortable while I start dinner.

Nicole: Okay.

They sat at the table and Naruto decided to ask Sasuke a question.

Naruto: Sasuke I've been meaning to ask you this for a while now. Why do you want to kill your brother?

Sasuke: (Sigh) I had a feeling you were gonna ask me that Naruto. The reason I want to kill Itachi is because he killed the Uchiha Clan in one night.

Naruto: Did he say why?

Sasuke: Yes. It was to test the limits of his power. He spared me because I wasn't worth killing.

Naruto: I have a feeling that there's more to it than that Sasuke. Itachi is a really nice guy and I've known him since I was 4.

Natsumi: Naruto. I think it's time that Sasuke knows the truth.

Naruto: Oh yeah. Sasuke we had an encounter with Itachi on our training trip and he showed me everything that happened and he didn't kill the Uchiha Clan to test the Limits of his power. That's total nonsense.

Nicole: Itachi killed the Uchiha because he was forced to.

Sasuke: What do you mean Nicole?

Nicole: The Uchiha were going to launch a revolt against the Leaf to overthrow the Hokage and take over the government. This terrible action would've plunged the Leaf into a Civil War and it would present a golden opportunity for enemy ninjas to attack the Leaf and it would start the 4th Great War. Lord Hokage tried to talk them out of it but they wouldn't listen. All the peace talks failed. The reason the Uchiha was going to launch the revolt was because a lot of people had suspected that it was an Uchiha that was responsible for the 9-Tails Attack 13 years ago. Just like we suspected all along, it was indeed an Uchiha that was behind it. Everyone persecuted the Uchiha because of it. We built that district for the Uchiha to avoid having them be attacked. Your father Fugaku was the main instigator behind the whole revolt. After all the peace talks failed there was only one option available: GENOCIDE. Here.

Nicole pulled out a mission file and gave it to Sasuke.

Nicole: Itachi gave this to me and told me to show it to you when the time was right.

Sasuke looked it over and he was shocked.

Sasuke: It's an assassination order.

Fu: Yes. Itachi was ordered by the 3rd Hokage to kill ONLY those that were going to launch the revolt and not the entire clan in general.

Sakura: Itachi was also a double agent. He was told to spy on the Uchiha Clan for the Hokage while pretending to be a spy for the Uchiha. After the death of Shisui Uchiha, the Uchiha suspected that Itachi was responsible for his death.

Nicole: Yes. But it actually was this man that was responsible.

Nicole pulled out a photo of Danzo Shimura.

Sasuke: Who is this man?

Naruto: That's Danzo Shimura. He's an old acquaintance of Grandpa and he's one of the elders on the Council.

Ami: I've heard a lot about him from sister Yugao. He's the founder of the Root ANBU Organization and he believes that Shinobi should be used as emotionless tools of war. He's a Warmonger and he gets a sick thrill out of causing war, chaos, death, destruction, pain and suffering.

Nicole: Yeah. And he's number 3 on Team Cosmic Dragon's Hit List.

Tsunami: I've heard about Danzo. He's the Darkness of Shinobi and from what I remember he and the 3rd Hokage have had an intense rivalry for the title of Hokage.

Nicole: That's right Tsunami. He is completely bent on wanting to become Hokage and he will stop at nothing to get it. But we're getting off topic here. Danzo is the man that orchestrated the Annihilation of The Uchiha. He ordered Itachi behind the 3rd Hokage's back to kill the entire Uchiha clan completely and leave no one alive. Danzo gave this to Itachi as a fake message from the Hokage. He gave Itachi an Ultimatum: Protect the Village or Protect the Clan. When Itachi took the oath of the ANBU he swore to protect the Leaf from all threats inside and outside the village. But Itachi begged for you to be spared Sasuke. He could never bring himself to kill his little brother because he loves you more than anything. That's why you were spared Sasuke. You were to kill Itachi so he could atone for his terrible deed by dying at your hands.

Sasuke was shocked and saddened. Itachi did not kill the entire Uchiha Clan in cold blood, he killed them because of the corruption of the council. Itachi was no longer a murderer. He was a hero.

Sasuke: I see. I need some time to myself.

Sasuke got up and went outside.

Ami: Sasuke?

Nicole: Let him be Ami. He needs to be alone and digest everything we told him.

Sasuke sat on the dock looking at his reflection on the water and he suddenly broke down crying.

Sasuke: (Crying) Itachi!

At the dinner table Tsunami was shocked.

Tsunami: I can't believe that Sasuke lost his whole family due to the corruption of the council.

Naruto: Yeah. The Civilian Council and the elders Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane and Danzo Shimura have been responsible for alot of corruption and treachery over the years. We have no evidence to act at the moment but we are on to them.

Sakura: Yeah. My mom is on the Civilian Council and she is against all their ideals. I love my mother and she was doing her best to protect me.

Naruto: The Civilian Council hates my guts to the core and they think of me as the 9-Tails in Human Form.

Tsunami: How can they be that stupid Naruto?

Naruto: They just are Tsunami.

Lincoln: Some people are just ruled by their own fear, hate, ignorance and stupidity.

Fu: They are also a bunch of Bias-Motivated idiots with no conscience.

Nicole: Yeah.

Tazuna: I can't believe that they would be that stupid and let their own hate and fear control them like that.

Ami: Me and my friends figured out Naruto's burden as the 9-Tails Jinchuriki and we view him as a hero and a family member.

Akiko: Naruto is a very brave and amazing man and no one should ever have to suffer the way he did.

Naruto: Thanks girls. They are right. Jinchuriki are not viewed as normal people.

Fu: We are viewed as the monsters we carry. We call it "The Curse of The Jinchuriki".

Tsunami: I can't believe that some people are that stupid.

Rin: Yeah. I'm a Jinchuriki myself. But I was made one against my will.

Tazuna: How did that happen Rin?

Rin: It was back during the 3rd Great War. I was kidnapped 14 years ago and I was forcibly made the Jinchuriki of Isobu the 3-Tailed Turtle and my teammate Kakashi was sent to rescue me. He did and I told him that I was a Jinchuriki and I told him to kill me because I was made into a Trojan Horse that would unleash the beast into the village and destroy it when I enter it. Kakashi was fighting the Mist Ninjas that supposedly did this to me and I jumped in front of Kakashi's Chidori and he skewered me through my chest. I thought I was dead but Orochimaru found me and froze me in ice and healed me by splicing my DNA with Phoenix DNA and it gave me wings and enhanced Fire Powers. I was found by Naruto and Nicole 14 years later and I'm now a member of Team Cosmic Dragon.

Tazuna: Rin that is terrible.

Tsunami: It's horrifying that you've been through all that. But it's good that you're all right and are now an amazing Kunoichi.

Rin: Thank you Tsunami.

Sasuke came back in.

Nicole: Hey Sasuke. Are you feeling better?

Sasuke: Yeah I am. I now view my brother as a hero and I will now bring Danzo and the corrupted council to justice.

Naruto: Good for you Sasuke and we will gladly help you.

?: I'm home.

Tsunami: Inari welcome back.

Inari: Thank you mom. Grandpa!

Tazuna: Hey Inari.

Inari hugs him.

Inari: I'm glad you're okay.

Tazuna: Thanks to our friends here.

Inari saw Nicole and team and gasped.

Inari: Brothers Lincoln and Naruto and Sisters Nicole, Sakura and Fu?

Nicole: It's been a while little bro.

Naruto: You are sure growing fast.

Lincoln: You will be as tall as me one day.

Inari went to Naruto and hugged him and cried.

Naruto: It's all right Inari. It's okay.

Lincoln: We heard what happened to Kaiza, Tsunami and we're very sorry about your loss.

Nicole: But we promise that Gato will pay the Ultimate Price for everything he has done to the Wave and send him to the darkest pits of the Netherworld for Eternity.

Sasuke: That's right.

Naruto: Inari's about to fall asleep here. I'm going to tuck him into bed.

Tsunami: Okay Naruto.

Naruto carried Inari up to his room and put him in his bed and tucked him in.

Inari: (Crying) Bro why did Gato kill daddy!? Why!?

Naruto: Power and money are strong motivations for murder and evil Inari. Gato is a personification of evil and he will pay for his crimes.

Inari: You promise bro?

Naruto: I promise and I never go back on my word for that is my ninja way.

Inari: Thank you bro.

Inari fell asleep.

Naruto: You're welcome.

Naruto left and went back down to the kitchen.

Tsunami: Dinner's ready guys.

Nicole: Okay. We have a week before we face Gato. Me and Lincoln are gonna go to the Mist to stop the Bloodline Holocaust. I'm gonna leave some Shadow Clones behind and train you guys until then. If Inari wants to he can train with us.

Tsunami: I'm sure he would like that.

Nicole: Cool.

The next day Inari was training with Naruto, Sakura, Fu, Juri, Ami, Akiko, Sasuke and Rin and Nicole and Lincoln set out for the Mist. They flew toward the Mist and in a forest in the Land of Water they saw some Mist Shinobi attacking a Kunoichi from the Sand. She was exhausted.

Nicole: Lets go buddy.

Lincoln: Right.

They flew in.

Mist Shinobi: Now you will die Pakura of the Scorch Style.

Just as he was about to deliver the final blow Lincoln swooped in and grabbed her and saved her.

He had her in his arms bridal style and his wings were spread and flooded with lightning.

Lincoln: Are you all right?

Pakura: Yes thanks to you.

Nicole: You Mist Shinobi are really stupid aren't you? Lets see how you like spending an eternity in the Netherworld.

Nicole fired a Ki blast and vaporized the Mist Shinobi instantly.

Nicole: Bunch of stupid neanderthals.

Lincoln set Pakura down.

Pakura: Thank you both for saving me.

Lincoln: You're welcome.

Pakura: I'm Pakura of the Scorch Style.

Nicole: It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Nicole Knudson of the Star Dragon, Leader of Team Cosmic Dragon for the Leaf.

Lincoln: And I'm Lincoln Loud of the Lightning of the Thunderbird.

Nicole: We heard about how you became the Hero of the Sand by stopping the Sand-Rock Feud.

Pakura: Yes. That is my biggest achievement.

Nicole: Why were those Mist Shinobi going to kill you?

Pakura: I was sent here as an envoy for the Sand to go to the Mist and establish an alliance. But now I see that I was betrayed and sent to my death.

Lincoln: The Corruption of The Sand Council. They must've gone behind the back of the Kazekage and gave you that fake mission.

Nicole: That is highly likely Lincoln and now we know that no village is safe from the corruption of the Civilian Councils of the 5 Great Nations. We have to stop this.

Pakura: I have a feeling you're right. I can't go back to the Sand knowing that they will find ways to kill me. I would like to seek asylum in the Leaf.

Nicole: That is your choice.

Lincoln: We're going to stop the Bloodline Holocaust in the Mist and we believe that the 4th Mizukage is doing this against his will.

Pakura: That is a very strong possibility and rumors have been flying around about that. I will gladly help you.

Lincoln: All right lets go.

Nicole, Lincoln and Pakura ran into the Mist and saw the village in total turmoil.

Nicole: This whole village is in Chaos.

Lincoln: Yeah. No kidding. I can't believe that the Mizukage is doing all of this.

Nicole: We have to look for the leader of the Bloodline Rebels Mei Terumi.

?: I can show her to you.

They saw a kunoichi.

Nicole: Where is she?

Ruka: My name is Ruka. Follow me.

Ruka lead them to a tent and they found a beautiful woman that was dressed in blue and she had long red hair.

Mei: Ruka who are these people you have here?

Ruka: My apologies Lady Mei but these people have been looking for you.

Nicole: It's a pleasure to meet you Mei. We were told by Zabuza Momochi to find you. I'm Nicole Knudson of the Star Dragon and Leader of the Leaf's Team Cosmic Dragon.

Lincoln: I'm Lincoln Loud of the Lightning of The Thunderbird.

Pakura: And I'm Pakura of the Scorch Style and former Sand Shinobi.

Mei: It's a pleasure to meet all of you. I take it that you're gonna help us stop the Bloodline Holocaust.

Nicole: Yes. We heard a lot about all things that have been happening because of it from Haku Yuki, Zabuza Momochi's adopted daughter and she has the Ice Style Kekkei Genkai.

Lincoln: We promised Zabuza that we would one day come to the Mist and stop the Bloodline Holocaust.

Mei: Well it's good you guys did. We greatly appreciate it.

Chojuro: It's an honor to have you help us. I'm Chojuro, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsman of the Mist and one of Lady Mei's bodyguards.

Ao: I'm Ao. It's an honor.

Nicole: Pleasure to meet you both. We heard rumors flying around that the 4th Mizukage is being manipulated somehow.

Mei: You heard right.

Pakura: It's not just in the Mist but all over the 5 Great Nations.

Nicole: We will gladly help you out. We're going to try and talk to the Mizukage and see if we can stop this madness and confirm our suspicions. If things start to go south launch your attack.

Mei: You got it. Be careful.

Nicole: We will. Lets go.

Nicole, Lincoln and Pakura went into the Mist Administration building and knocked on the door of the office of the Mizukage.

?: Come in.

They went in and stood before the Mizukage. It was Yagura the 4th Mizukage.

Nicole: Are you the 4th Mizukage?

Yagura: Yes I am. I'm Yagura the 4th Mizukage. It's an honor to meet you Nicole Knudson of the Star Dragon and Lincoln Loud of the Lightning of The Thunderbird and Pakura of the Scorch Style.

Nicole: It's an honor Lord Yagura. (In her Head) I sense a genjutsu on Yagura. Our suspicions are confirmed and the chakra signal is that of the Rogue Uchiha that we're going to kill in the future.

Nicole snapped her fingers and the Genjutsu was released and Yagura was confused.

Yagura: What? What happened?

Nicole: You were under the influence of a Genjutsu and it made you cause a civil war in the Mist against all the clans and shinobi that possess Kekkei Genkai.

Lincoln: We promised Zabuza Momochi a year and a half ago that we would try and find a way to stop this madness. Pakura here has been betrayed by her former village the Hidden Sand and they sent her to her death on a fake envoy mission.

Pakura: It was because of the corruption of the Sand Council.

Nicole: You were under the influence of a Mind Control Genjutsu that was from a Rogue Uchiha that was responsible for the 9-Tails Attack on the Leaf 13 years ago and he's the Number 1 Target of Team Cosmic Dragon for us to kill.

Yagura saw what has been happening and saw that Nicole and Lincoln were right.

Yagura: I have to stop this.

Yagura got on the P.A. system.

Yagura: Everyone stand down now! Gather in front of the Administration building now.

Everyone gathered in front of the Mist Administration Building.

Yagura: My people of the Hidden Mist Village. This war was a fraud. I was under the influence of a Mind Control Genjutsu from a Rogue Uchiha that caused the 9-Tails Attack nearly a decade and a half ago.

Everyone gasped in horror.

Yagura: I was forced to launch this Civil War against my will and destroy all shinobi and clans wielding Kekkei Genkai and my actions were not my own. Therefore I have decided that I have failed you all as the 4th Mizukage and have decided to step down as the Mizukage. My last act as the 4th Mizukage is for Nicole, Lincoln and Pakura. Bring out THE medals.

A ninja came and he had a box with him. Yagura took a medal out.

Yagura: Nicole Knudson of The Star Dragon, Lincoln Loud of the Lightning of The Thunderbird and Pakura of The Scorch Style on behalf of the Land of Water and the Village Hidden in The Mist I bestow upon you three our nation and villages highest honor: The Sapphire Star of the Heart of Water.

He placed the medals around their necks and everyone cheered wildly for them.

Nicole: I'm honored Lord Yagura.

Lincoln: Me too.

Pakura: Same here.

Yagura: Now I have also named my successor. Mei Terumi come up here please.

Mei Terumi came up to the balcony.

Yagura: Mei Terumi I now name you as my successor as 5th Mizukage of The Hidden Mist Village.

Yagura placed the hat of the Mizukage on Mei's head and everyone cheered for her.

Mei: Thank you everyone.

Nicole: It's an honor to be in your presence Lady Mei.

Mei: Thank you Nicole.

After the celebration Mei called Nicole, Lincoln, Pakura and Yagura into her office.

Mei: We can't thank you three enough for saving our village in a time of crisis.

Nicole: It was our pleasure Lady Mei.

Lincoln: We're glad we could help.

Mei: We would like to reinstate our alliance with the Leaf. Please give this to Hiruzen for me will you?

Mei handed Nicole an alliance reestablishment treaty.

Nicole: I will see that he gets this.

Yagura decided that he was going to seek asylum in the Leaf because he feared that the Mist would try and kill him. Mei accepted. Nicole used Instant Transmission and beamed herself, Lincoln, Pakura and Yagura to the Wave in front of Tazuna's house.

Naruto saw them.

Naruto: They're back.

Nicole's Shadow Clone dispelled and Nicole recieved it's memories.

Naruto: So how did it go sis?

Nicole: The Bloodline Holocaust is over bro.

Sakura: That's great.

Nicole: Lets go inside and tell you all about it.

They did so and revealed everything that's happened and they were shocked.

Naruto: So the Rogue Uchiha caused the Bloodline Holocaust?

Nicole: Yeah. He was controlling Yagura with a Mind Control Genjutsu and he forced Yagura against his will to launch a Civil War against all Kekkei Genkai Wielders.

Lincoln: It was horrible. We broke the genjutsu controlling him and we were given the village's highest honor for it.

Nicole: The Sapphire Star of The Heart of Water.

Akiko: I've heard of those medals. Every major village of the 5 Great Nations has medals like that. They are awarded to a Shinobi, Kunoichi or Civilian that's either from that village or outside that village for a heroic deed above and beyond the call of duty for doing a huge and major contribution for that village and land in general.

Ami: That is a huge achievement.

Naruto: It sure is and it's awesome sis.

Nicole: Thanks guys.

Lincoln: We have 5 more days until we face Gato and take him down for good.

Nicole: Yep.

Pakura: Gato will pay dearly for this.

Yagura: He sure will.

5 DAYS LATER.

Team Cosmic Dragon, Inari, Pakura and Yagura were on the bridge ready to face Gato.

Nicole: This is it team.

Naruto: Gato will pay with his life.

Lincoln: Yep.

Zabuza and Haku appeared.

Zabuza: You all arrived. Good.

Nicole: Hello Zabuza. Did Gato receive our message?

Zabuza: He sure did and he was infuriated. He's on his way now.

Sasuke: Good. He will pay with his life.

Nicole: Let him come.

2 Minutes Later Gato arrived and he had an army of Thugs with him.

Nicole: Gato. How nice of you to show up. You're gonna pay for everything you've done to the Wave. Your Reign of Terror ends right now.

Gato: I don't think so. This land is mine and you all won't stop me.

Nicole: We will.

Nicole fired an energy wave and completely vaporized most of Gato's thugs.

Nicole: That was a small taste of my power.

Gato: You wretched girl! Triple Pay! Kill them all!

Nicole: Kill them!

(CRIMSON FLAMES PLAYS)

They charged and the thugs were all killed in an instant. Inari was facing Gato and he was armed with a sword.

Inari: You will pay for killing my father Kaiza.

Gato: So you are avenging your dear daddy. Now you will join him in the Netherworld!

Inari: You're the one going to the Netherworld!

Inari punched Gato in the mouth and slashed his face. Inari kicked him in the stomach and punched him in the chest and fired a fireball from his hand and it hit Gato in the chest and exploded. When the smoke cleared Gato had a hole in his chest that left his black and evil heart completely exposed and his heart was an evil alive black heart.

Nicole saw this after killing the last of Gato's thugs.

Nicole: That is one evil heart. That heart is from the darkest pits of the Netherworld itself, A demon heart.

Nicole pulled out a pistol and fired a bullet.

BANG!

The bullet when right through Gato's black heart and out his back and Inari slashed Gato's head clean off his shoulders.

Inari: DIE YOU WORTHLESS MONSTER! THIS IS FOR MY DAD!

Nicole: People like you deserve to be damned!

Pakura threw a ball of fiery heat and Gato's body shriveled up like a raisin and was a mummified husk.

Rin fired a blast of fire and incinerated Gato's body and head into ashes in an instant.

Naruto: That takes care of Gato. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Fu: Yep. I hope he enjoys the Netherworld because he will be there forever.

Sakura: And he will be forever damned.

Nicole: Yep. Greed is a cardinal sin and he will spend eternity in pain and torture.

Lincoln: Good riddence.

Nicole: Lets go search Gato's house and rescue all his prisoners.

Naruto: Right.

They go to Gato's mansion and after killing all his guards began searching the place. They found all the money he stole over the years and a found a major discovery. They found a huge cache of swords and weapons from various clans. Some from the Uchiha, the Uzumaki and various clans that went extinct centuries ago.

Naruto: Some of these weapons belong to my clan.

Sasuke: Yeah and these are all weapons from the Uchiha.

Fu: And some of these weapons are from extinct clans.

Rin: It's amazing.

Nicole: Yeah. How did Gato get his hands on all these weapons?

Sakura: I have no idea but he sure has been busy.

Pakura: He was probably going to sell all of these weapons on the black market.

Yagura: That is possible.

Inari: This is amazing.

?: Hello? Is someone out there?

Naruto: The prisoners are down here.

Nicole: Lets go.

They go down the hall and found a prison cell full of captive women.

Nicole: Are you all okay?

Woman 1: Yes we are. Get us out before Gato comes back.

Nicole pulled off the barred door.

Nicole: Gato is dead. We killed him.

Woman 2: He's dead?

Nicole: Yeah. We sent him off to the darkest pits of the Netherworld for eternity.

Woman 3: We're free!

They all cheered.

Nicole: We're glad we could help you all. We are Team Cosmic Dragon.

Yamiko: We've heard so many big things about you. I'm Yamiko Kaguya, the last surviving female member of the Kaguya Clan.

Naoko: I'm Naoko Kessai, Last of the Kessai Clan.

Mira: I'm Mira Ningyo, last of the Ningyo Clan.

Nicole: It's a pleasure to meet you all. I'm Nicole Knudson of the Star Dragon, Leader of Team Cosmic Dragon.

Lincoln: I'm Lincoln Loud of the Lightning of The Thunderbird, 2nd in Command of Team Cosmic Dragon.

Naruto: I'm Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze.

Sakura: I'm Sakura Haruno.

Fu: I'm Fu.

Juri: I'm Juri the Sea Dragon Maiden.

Ami: I'm Ami Mitarashi the Cobra Swordmistress.

Akiko: I'm Akiko Suzuki the Maiden of The Nebula.

Sasuke: I'm Sasuke Uchiha the Last of The Uchiha Clan.

Rin: And I'm Rin Nohara the Phoenix Angel.

Pakura: I'm Pakura of The Scorch Style, Former Sand Shinobi.

Yagura: I'm Yagura Karatachi the former 4th Mizukage.

Inari: And I'm Inari, Shinobi in training.

Yamiko: It's a pleasure to meet you all. Thank you all for rescuing us.

Nicole: You're welcome. Now lets get you all out of here.

They went back to the Wave and everyone cheered wildly for Team Cosmic Dragon. After the bridge was finished, Tazuna held an unveiling ceremony for something.

Tazuna: It is with Great pleasure that I officially christen this fantastic bridge as the Bridge of Cosmic Hope and I graciously present this magnificent statue for the Land of Waves.

A tarp came off and revealed a gold statue of Team Cosmic Dragon standing on a Saturn Planet with jewels of each color of the rainbow held in their left hands and Gato's severed head was held in Nicole's right hand and a dragon was around them and the planet.

Nicole: Wow! What a magnificent work of art.

Naruto: It's an amazing statue.

Tazuna: Thank you. This statue is to commemorate the heroic actions you all did for the Land of Waves and freeing our land and village from the tyranny of Gato.

Everyone cheered for them.

Nicole: We're truly honored everyone. We couldn't have done all this without all of your help and with the teamwork, strength, power and support of all of you.

Tazuna: You are so welcome everyone.

Nicole: Well guys. Mission complete. This mission went from C-Rank to Double S-Rank and we have succeeded.

Kakashi appeared in a puff of smoke.

Kakashi: Hey guys.

Nicole: Hey Kakashi-sensei. Were you watching us from the shadows?

Kakashi: I sure was and I'm very proud of all of you. You all have succeeded in your first ever Double S-Rank mission.

Nicole: Thanks Kakashi-sensei. We have quite a report for when we get back. We also have some new people joining us.

Kakashi saw Yamiko, Naoko, Mira, Tsunami, Inari, Zabuza, Haku, Pakura and Yagura and he was shocked.

Kakashi: Zabuza Momochi the Demon of the Mist.

Zabuza: Kakashi Hatake of the Sharingan. I've heard so many big things about you.

Kakashi: It's mutual.

Haku: It's a pleasure to meet you Kakashi.

Later they were in the Administration Building and Nicole knocked on the Hokage Office Door. Zabuza went back to the Mist.

Lord Third: Enter.

They went in.

Lord Third: Ah Welcome back Team Cosmic Dragon. How did the mission go?

Nicole: It was a 100% success Lord Hokage. It went from C-Rank to Double S-Rank.

Lord Third gasped.

Lord Third: Please explain what went down.

Nicole: Certainly. When we left the village we had a run in with the Demon Brothers of The Mist and Rin blasted them with a Fireball and we captured them.

Lord Third: So that's what that explosion was.

Rin: Yes. Here's the scroll containing the Demon Brothers.

Rin hands Lord Hokage a scroll.

Lord Third: Thank you Rin.

Rin: When we got to the ocean we took a boat Tazuna had to the Land of Waves and we couldn't walk on the water or we would be detected. We walked to Tazuna's house and we heard some rustling in a nearby bush.

Naruto: It was actually Haku's Little White Rabbit she has with her. Zabuza's Sword the Executioners Blade flew over us after sis told us to duck and we saw Zabuza standing on the hilt. We had a reunion with him after a year and a half.

Nicole: On our training trip we saw Zabuza and Haku being harassed by Hunter Ninjas and we appeared and scared them off. Zabuza and Haku are dear friends to us and we promised that whenever we got a Mission to The Land of Waves that we would go over to the Mist and stop the Bloodline Holocaust. Oh.

Nicole pulls out the Alliance Reinstatement Treaty.

Nicole: Here's an Alliance Reinstatement Treaty from the new Mizukage Mei Terumi.

Lord Third: Thank you Nicole. It's good that the Mist now wants to reestablish our alliance with them.

Nicole: Yeah. Anyway after our reunion I had Zabuza give Gato a message from us. I told him that Team Cosmic Dragon will kill Gato and make him pay the ultimate price for everything he has done to the Wave. Zabuza left and we would see him and Haku in a week.

Fu: After we arrived at Tazuna's house we were Reunited with Tsunami here. She is Tazuna's daughter.

Tsunami: It's a pleasure to meet you Lord Hokage.

Lord Third: Pleasure's all mine Tsunami.

Naruto: We sat at the table and I asked Sasuke why he wanted to kill Itachi and we decided to reveal the truth on why Itachi killed the Uchiha that night.

Lord Third: Does Sasuke?

Nicole: Yes. Sasuke knows the truth about the massacre and he needs to have everything we told him confirmed.

Nicole pulled out the file and handed it to Lord Hokage.

Nicole: Itachi gave that file to us and told us to give it to Sasuke when the time came.

Sasuke: Is everything true Lord Hokage? Was my clan going to launch a revolt and destroy the village and was Itachi forced to kill all the Uchiha including me? And did Danzo Shimura order him to do it behind your back?

Lord Third Sighed.

Lord Third: Yes Sasuke he did and everything is true. Itachi was ordered to kill only the people that were going to launch the revolt and not the entire clan completely. Danzo's treachery completely destroyed the Uchiha and left you as the only survivor.

Sasuke: Thank you.

Sasuke left the office.

Nicole: He has to have some time to himself.

Lord Third: I understand. Please continue on Nicole.

Nicole: Right. I left a Shadow Clone behind and trained Naruto, Sakura, Fu, Juri, Ami, Akiko, Rin and Sasuke while Me and Lincoln went to the Mist to stop the Bloodline Holocaust. We saw Pakura here being attack by Mist Shinobi. The Sand Council's corruption sent her to her death.

Pakura: Yes Lord Hokage. I was sent to my death as a fake envoy by the Sand Council and Nicole and Lincoln saved my life.

Nicole: We assisted the Bloodline Rebels and went into the Mist Administration Building and met Yagura here. He was under the influence of a Mind Control Genjutsu from the Rogue Uchiha that caused the 9-Tails Attack 13 Years ago. We broke the genjutsu and Yagura stopped the Bloodline Holocaust and for our heroic actions we were award these.

Nicole, Lincoln and Pakura showed their medals.

Lord Third: The Sapphire Star of The Heart of Water. Congratulations to all of you Nicole.

Nicole: Thank you Lord Hokage. Yagura decided to step down as the 4th Mizukage and he made Mei Terumi his successor as the 5th Mizukage. We went back to the Land of Waves and prepared for the battle against Gato. We fought Gato and it was fierce. Uh.. Inari, Tsunami this part is gonna be a little gory and we don't want you two to hear this.

Tsunami: I understand.

Naruto: I'll keep you two company until we can come back in.

Naruto, Tsunami and Inari were outside the office and Nicole revealed all the gory parts and the ANBU hidden in the walls puked their guts out in the bathroom.

Nicole: I'm sorry I got you guys sick.

Lord Third: (Laughs) That's all right Nicole.

Nicole: Thank you. You can come back in now bro.

Naruto Tsunami and Inari did.

Nicole: We then raided Gato's mansion and retrieved all the money he stole and we found a huge cache of weapons from the Uchiha and Uzumaki clans and all the clans that went extinct centuries ago. We found the women Gato captured and freed them.

Yamiko: I'm Yamiko Kaguya the last female of the Kaguya Clan.

Naoko: I'm Naoko Kessai the Last of the Kessai Clan.

Mira: And I'm Mira Ningyo the Last of the Ningyo Clan.

Lord Third: It's a pleasure to meet you all. I've heard a lot about the Kaguya Clan. I am so glad that a member of the Kessai Clan is still alive. We thought we lost them after the Hidden Fire Village was wiped out.

Naruto: The Hidden Fire Village? I've heard about that village. It was destroyed by mysterious circumstances 10 years ago.

Lord Third: That's right Naruto and they were one of our most important allies. I'm also amazed that a member of the Ningyo Clan is still alive after all these years. We thought they were extinct.

Mira: I'm glad I'm all right too Lord Hokage.

Naruto: We completed the mission and we had the bridge named after us. Here's a picture of it.

Naruto handed him a photo of Team Cosmic Angel, Tsunami, Inari, Pakura, Yagura, Yamiko, Naoko, Zabuza and Haku standing in front of it.

Lord Third: Wow. That's an amazing achievement. You all have done a fantastic job and you have set history here. You became the first ever Genin Team to complete a Double S-Rank mission without the intervention of a sensei.

Kakashi: I watched their performance from the shadows and I'm very proud of them.

Lord Third: I'm sure Kakashi. Well done to all of you. You will be paid tomorrow.

Nicole: Thank you Lord Hokage and just as I promised I will tell you how to defeat the paperwork. Use Shadow Clones to Get the job done faster.

Lord Third suddenly realized that he knew the secret was right under his nose the whole time.

Lord Third pulled out a bullseye target that said "In Case of Paperwork Secret Bonk Head Here". He bonked his head repeatedly on the bullseye and said stupid over and over.

They laughed at this.

Lord Third stopped and made some Shadow Clones.

They left and went back to Naruto's house and Kushina hugged Naruto. Haku was instated as a Medic Shinobi for Team 9, Yamiko was placed on Team Cosmic Dragon, Naoko was placed on Team 8 and Mira was placed on Team 10. Inari was enrolled into the Academy.

Continues in Part 5.
