Chapter Three: Gennin team and the C rank mission

------------------------------

...RIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG...The alarm clock hit Naruto on the head with its miniture hammer, Naruto groaned and was about to break it when it remembered what Yukiko had said on his birthday...

---Flashback----

Today was Naruto's birthday and he was currently tearing open a present Yukiko just got him...when he opened it...his jaw dropped at what he saw..

"WHAT THE HELL!?" Sitting there innocently was a alarm clock with a hammer on its side held up by a gloved hand ontop of the alarm clock.

"Teehee...Since you never seem to wake up and I always have to pour water on you every morning, I got you an alarm clock that uses it's hammer to hit your head when the time is set!" Yukiko began laughing her head off untill she saw Naruto try to break it and went dead serious.

"Break it and I'll make sure I pound you through a mountain and take away your ramen for 6 months again!" Naruto began sweating nervously as he backed away and broke for a run into his room with the alarm clock seemingly walking beside him making him scared and he fell unconsious...

----End Flashback---

Naruto shivered as he went to change into some clothing, his new clothing had consist of a black t-shirt with a net shirt under, a pair of black pants that looked like the jounin pants, a black vest with multiple pockets to store items, Kyuubi had told Naruto to leave it unzipped, black bandages going from his shoulders to wrists, a pair of gloves with black metal plates on them, black ninja sandles and bandages wrapped around his knee and wrapped around his pants ends to his ankles, let's not forget his hitai-ate he tied around his neck!

Naruto began thinking about what he should do with his hair untill Kyuubi answered, "Nah, looks better down then up..up gives me the creeps...so...so pointy..."

Naruto laughed slightly at the end of Kyuubi's sentence and checked his alarm clock, he began running out the door and toward Konoha and the academy at his fastest pace with gravity seals on with only one thought in his head, 'SHIT I'M LATE!!!!!!!!!!'...

---At the academy---

Naruto ran through the halls to the room where all the soon to be gennins were at only to see two girls, AKA the Uchiha Fangirls and more girls trying to get through the door. Naruto ran from behind them and kicked them in and went inside taking the closest seat he could get to which was the seat beside Sasuke.

"NARUTOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" All the girls screamed and they all stood up but when they looked at Naruto they're jaws dropped to the floor which made the rest of the class look as well with only one thought in they're head, 'that's Naruto?!', but with Sasuke only one thought came to head 'hnn..he still looks weak'. Sitting there, loud mouth, deadlast, dobe, baka, anyother words that described Naruto while he was at the academy, wearing decent clothing...

"W-why is everyone looking at me like that!?" Naruto eyes were wide and everyone began going back to doing they're own things. After Sakura shaked out of her stupor she began yelling at Naruto,

"NARUTO GET OUT OF THAT SEA-!" But was interupted by Iruka as he yelled out to everyone to sit down and Sakura glare at Naruto.

"Okay class here are the new teams, team one..." Skip skip skip!

"Team seven consists of..Uzumaki Naruto...Haruno Sakura...Uchiha Sasuke, your jounin sensei will be Hatake Kakashi." Every girl in the class began glaring at Naruto and Sakura, Sakura began dancing around saying 'True love prevails all!' and Naruto was sitting in his seat banging his head against the table, the boys in the class gave Naruto a sympathatic glance and went back to hearing the teams.

"Okay! This afternoon we'll introduce the Jounin sensei's. Take a break until then." Iruka walked out of the class to get lunch and everyone began going outside or some stayed inside to eat they're lunch. Naruto went outside and lied down under a trees shades and began a mind conversation with Kyuubi.

"So, my sensei is the copy cat ninja Hatake Kakashi...this could prove to be interesting, wonder if I should teach Sakura and Sasuke anything. What do you think Kyuubi?"

"Not sure kit. Try to get Fore-head girl off her addiction for the Uchiha and get Emo-boy to stop thinking about revenge before you think about teaching them anything."

"That would be hard, but as time comes by I'll try. Anyways what do you think I should do later?"

"Err, why don't you practice your rasengan after one-eyed cyclopse is done talking to you guys later?"

"Why not..doesn't seem to harm anything, I still can't get the stage 3 right though! Ahhh Time to go meet our jounin senseis"

"By the way kit, I'd like to go for a nice stretch and some rabbits later."

Naruto nodded remembering to summon Kyuubi when he got back home, making his way back toward the class he sat in one of the seats. After 30minutes of waiting, everyone was already gone while team 7 was still there waiting for they're sensei. Naruto groaned and whacked his head against the table and stood up. Sakura looked at him questionly while Sasuke was still brooding. Naruto walked to the wall and lifted a foot on the wall sending chakra into his feet and put his other foot on the wall and began walking up untill he reached the ceiling and sat on it.

This is when Sakura began asking questions, "How are you doing that Naruto?"

Naruto thought for a second and then began thinking this was a good chance for getting Sakura out of her stupid Sasuke fangirl thing, "Well Sakura-chan, send chakra to your feet and walk up the walls. Why don't you try it out? You have perfect chakra control afterall!" Sakura nodded and began sending chakra to her feet, before she placed a foot on the wall Naruto called out, "Not to much chakra or you'll repel, to little and you'll fall off!" Sakura nodded and began walking up the wall like it was nothing, when she was almost touching the ceiling she began grinning and shouted "I DID IT!" but at that moment she lost her control and fell, closing her eyes in fear of feeling pain, but she felt something grab her before she hit the ground. Opening her eyes she saw Naruto placed her back down as he began lecturing.

"If you let your chakra out of control for even a second you'll regret it, trust me. Now since you walked up that wall I want you to walk up that wall over and over again, eh eh! No questions Sakura, it will increase your chakra reserves, since your a girl - not to be offensive or anything - you have lower chakra reserves then me and sasuke, and if you want to impress Sasuke, one thing in mind. Do not hold him back. And another thing I'm telling you, stop fanning over the Uchiha! If you wanted to be a fangirl then you should have stayed home! The life of a ninja is full of things which does not include you being a scaredy cat and making me and Sasuke having to protect you! Think about it Sakura, if your forced to kill someone. Think you can handle it?" Sakura was about to retaliate but then began thinking about it, it was true. She did have perfect chakra control and that she was only going to hold them back, she had to get stronger so she could keep up with them! She nodded and began walking up and down the wall again. With Sasuke - He was looking at Sakura and Naruto in interest untill he shrugged it off thinking that they were just going to hold him back, but then a thought hit him. He said it out loud, "Hey dobe! How'd you get so intelligent?" Naruto looked at Sasuke with cheerful eyes but it suddenly flashed into sad ones then back into cheerful ones, it flashed so fast Sasuke thought he was seeing things.

"There are some things you do not know about me Uchiha...I may be a stupid deadlast loud idiot to you...But you don't truely know who I am.." Naruto sat down and began remembering his 'childhood', all the glares, being pushed around, yelled at, having no friends...Naruto shook his head and put back on his mask of stupidity and cheerfulness on, but within the depths of his mind Kyuubi was staring sadly into the screen that looked like a T.V. infront of him as he was watching from the outside like a third person knowing Naruto was remembering about everything. "I'll always be there for you kit..." Kyuubi whispered softly, on the outside Naruto smiled when he heard Kyuubi, but then was knocked out of his thoughts when the door opened, Sakura came down and both Sasuke and Naruto looked up to see a man in a jounins standard outfit with silver hair and a mask with his hitai-ate covering his left eye. He looked around and blinked then talked.

"Hmmm…. how can I say this… my first impression of you guys is... Your quiet" Everyone in the room sweatdropped, even the mighty emo Sasuke. "Meet me on the roof in 10 minutes." With that the jounin disappeared in a puff of smoke leaving team 7 there in they're stupor, Sakura was the first one to get out of her daze. "Well you heard sensei! Let's go already!" Naruto began grinning and Sasuke grunted in response as they began making they're ways toward the roof. 'So she's finally going to take her life as a kunoichi seriously, I wonder how this team will end up if Sasuke begins to open up...' As they reached the roof they saw Kakashi sitting on the railing reading an orange book. Team 7 sat infront of him waiting for him to say something, Sakura was about to say something untill Naruto beat her to it.

"Umm..Sensei what are we supposed to be doing?" Naruto asked as Kakashi began waving his hand back and forth,

"How about… your likes, dislikes, dreams for the future, hobbies… stuff like that."

"Why don't you go first sensei?" Sakura asked.

"Oh… Me? Well.. My name is Hatake Kakashi. I have no desire to tell you guys about my likes and dislikes." He paused. "Dreams for the future…? Hmmm…. Well…. I have lots of hobbies." His sentences where incomplete and dodged the issue as he absentmindedly scratched the back of his head and continued reading his 'Icha Icha Paradise'.

"So all we know is his name.." Sakura said while Naruto and Sasuke's head nodded in agreement.

"Now why don't you go first pinky." Kakashi said pointing to the pissed off Sakura but she began anyways.

"I'm Haruno Sakura. I like.."Look's at Sasuke and blushes then thought again..training..yes that sounds good.." and when I'll be able to begin training, my dislike is Ino-pig! My hobbies are.."looks at Sasuke and blushes again but a deeper shade of red and thought again.." and training, my dream.."Sakura thought about this deeply then something hit her thoughts and she grinned then finished off the sentence"..Is to become the strongest kunochi konoha's ever seen!" Naruto grinned in agreement and Sasuke kept his brooding face but inwardly his chibi-self was cheering at the thought of Sakura not pestering him anymore. Kakashi was about to say next but then looked at Naruto deeply, 'he looks like someone I know..I just can't put my finger on it!', "Blondie next" Naruto growled at the Blondie statement but continued.

"My name is...Uzumaki Naruto. I like ramen, training, my friends, my life, and the soon to be team 7, my dislikes are the 3 minutes I have to wait for ramen to finish, people who hurt others for no reason just to prove they're stronger then someone and cocky avenging people that can't get on with they're lives and push the past away," Naruto grinned at the scowl and famous Uchiha glare and continued "My hobbies are practicing my jutsus, and pranking people" Naruto nodded telling them that he was done and Kakashi then turned to Sasuke and said "Your turn broody" Sasuke scowled but began his wonderous shit load of crap.

"…My name in Uchiha Sasuke. There are tons of things I dislike but I Don't really like anything, and… I wouldn't call it a dream but, I have an ambition. The resurrection of my clan and… to kill a certain man…" Kakashi, Naruto and Sakura all stared at him. Suddenly Sakura thought Sasuke was being an ignorant jerk? Was she dropping her crush that fast!?! No! She can't, Sasuke is the coolest..'But who is cool if they would want to do anything just to become a murderer?' Sakura shook her head and pushed the thoughts aside as Kakashi began talking.

"Well, meet at training ground 47(RANDOM NUMBER . ) tomorrow and we'll start our duties." Kakashi began shifting uncomfortably, guess sitting on a railing does that to you.

"What kinds of duties Kakashi-sensei?" The curve of their Jounin Sensei's mask told them he was grinning beneath the cloth.

"First we are going to do something with just the four of us." Everyone perked up at that.

"What is it?" Sakura asked. Kakashi just flashed her a look and returned looking at everyone else.

"Survival Training." Was the only thing he said.

"……." A gust of wind rattled over the roof.

"Survival training?" Naruto muttered more to himself than anyone else. Sasuke twitched and Sakura was looking at Kakashi sharply.

"Why is it our duty to train?" She asked. "We did enough training at the Ninja Academy." No one said anything as they stared at the Jounin before he abruptly burst out laughing.

"Oh this is good..aahhahaha...there is a 66.4 percent at failing this exam, only 9 of the gennins that graduated the academy will pass." Kakashi grinned under his mask like a mad man that made team 7 shiver.

"What! But we already graduated from the academy!" Naruto's hand went up to his forehead protector. Kakashi unfolded his arms and shrugged nonchalantly.

"The Academy exams are there to weed out those who don't have the potential to become Ninja. You Naruto, barely scraped through since you where the dead last." Naruto growled and sat back down as Kakashi handed out the sheet's of paper with the details of their exam on it. While the Genin where absorbed in reading, Kakashi grinned and clapped his hands.

"Well see you at 5:30 am tomorrow! Don't be late, Ja ne!" Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke. Everyone stood up and was about to make they're ways back to they're respective homes untill Naruto looked at Sakura and grinned, "Sakura-ch-...neechan, Sasuke-san. Since we're teammates now, why don't we learn about each other? Let's go get some ramen, and seriously stop brooding Sasuke, your going to get wrinkles!" Naruto grinned at Sasuke and Sakura and grabbed both of they're arms jumping off the roof with them and landing on the ground swiftly, then began dragging them toward Ichikaru's. Once they made it inside he set Sakura and Sasuke beside eachother and sat on Sasuke's left.

He then grinned to them and called out to the girl behind the counter, "Ayame-neechan! One miso ramen please!" Naruto ushered for Sakura and Sasuke to order something.

"Um..one vegetarian ramen please" Sakura asked politely as Ayame nodded then Ayame looked toward the Uchiha and waited for his order, Naruto and Sakura were staring at him untill he sighed and ordered.

"...one beef ramen please." Naruto and Sakura gasped and fell off their chairs as Sasuke began twitching. Naruto and Sakura sat back on their chairs.

Naruto began thinking, 'let's try to get him to stop being a damn avenger, mabye shaking him off with Itachi would do..after all, Itachi was never really the one who slaughtered the Uchiha clan...Mabye I would tell them..actually, I'll make them look underneath the underneath..' Naruto began talking, "Sasuke, I want to begin with you first. Tell us why you want to avenge your clan so badly, do you truely hate Itachi?" Sasuke was looking at Naruto with a shock face thinking, 'how did he know?!..' Then Sakura decided to speak up, "Who's Itachi?"

Naruto explained to her, "Itachi was the son of Uchiha Fugaku, and Uchiha Mikoto, brother of Sasuke. S-class missing nin, he 'supposely' killed his clan, he is the weilder of the Mangekyou Sharingan, strongest level of the sharingan, but I don't know much about anything else. But I know he is quite a pocky-addict when he stole my pocky from me," Sakura looked at Naruto questioningly and asked, "Why would he want to kill his own clan?" she got an answer she never thought she would get, "Look underneath the underneath Sakura-neechan, that counts for you too Sasuke-san." Sasuke thought about it, 'Look underneath the underneath?...' but was interupted in his train of thought when Naruto began talking again.

"Remember Uchiha Sasuke, you are not alone. You have me and Sakura right behind you if you need us, even if this is only the first day for us as a soon-to-be gennin team...we should trust eachother, also..allow Itachi to become stronger, but remember look underneath the underneath. Why would Itachi want to kill his own clan? Did he act different on the day he slaughtered everyone? Cause' that don't sound like the pocky-stealing butthole I know. But also, allow us to become stronger together, no more secrets Sasuke, we are all right behind you so you could drop your mask and enjoy your life, think about it.."Sakura had nodded with Naruto, They were all going to be together from now on, so what was holding them back from becoming friends?"Ahh heres our ramen!" Naruto shouted as he broke his chop sticks and called out "Itadakimasu!" and began chowing down at an in-human pace, Sakura and Sasuke shook they're head at they're blonde friend's antics and copied Naruto but ate at a slower pace.

'Underneath the underneath...Itachi truely never did act that cold...wait...what if someone was...henge...genjutsu to pretend as tsukiyomi...! So..so that's...why..." Sasuke smiled abit and thought another thing before taking another bite, 'Thank you, Naruto. Sakura.' From beside the shop a certain silver haired man had been listening on at their conversation and smiled, 'You are a mysterous one, Uzumaki Naruto. But thank you for saving me the trouble from helping Sasuke..but underneath the underneath? Oh well," The silver haired man took out his little orange book and began reading and giggling and sometimes having a nosebleed. For the rest of the day Naruto, Sakura and even Sasuke had began talking about each other, they're likes, dislikes, hobbies, and dreams. Then they went back to their homes with only one thought in mind before falling into a blissful and happy sleep, 'Tomorrow is going to be even more interesting!'

----------Next day----------

Team 7 was training they're chakra control due to Naruto's reccomendation, they were running up and down trees for an hour and took a two hour break. Then everyone was taken from their train of thought as a poof was heard infront of them revealing Kakashi.

"Yo!"

"YOU'RE LATE!" Kakashi was nearly blasted off his feet by two of his three genin as they yelled at him for being tardy. He grinned at them and waved of Sasuke's glare, not in the least bothered by the twelve year old boy's dark look.

Kakashi lead them through the forested part of their training area to where three large stumps had been left in the ground. They looked well used but still sturdy, just like all the trees in Konoha. The silver haired man set down his bag and pulled out an alarm clock which he set for noon. Kakashi took out two bells and showed it to them.

"Here are two bells. Your task is to take these from me before the alarm clock rings. If you don't get a bell you won't get lunch and not only that but I'll tie you to one of those stumps and the other's will eat in front of you." Everyone could tell Kakashi was smirking underneath that mask and they all smiles back even Sasuke cracked a grin, they all thought, 'Already ate breakfast'. Kakashi turn on the alarm and then shouted, "You only need to get one bell. There are only two so one of you will definitely be tied to a stump and the person who doesn't get a bell fails, so at least one of you will be sent back to the academy, and if you want to get the bell from me, you will need to come at me with the intent to kill, now ready? Alright..GO!" Naruto grabbed Sakura and Sasuke and jumped, running at least half a kilometer away. He placed the two down and began talking.

"Alright we need a plan."

"But what dobe?"

Sasuke asked. Naruto just grinned and began talking, Sakura and Sasuke grinned when Naruto was done.

Once the trio were done laying out traps that Naruto had hidden in one of his prank scrolls. Naruto began jumping toward Kakashi, once he spotted Kakashi in the clearing he jumped down and hid in one of the bushes making a kage bushin and sending it out toward Kakashi.

"I'M GOING TO GET THAT BELL FROM YOU KAKASHI-SENSEI!" The kage bushin of Naruto ran toward Kakashi and gave him a sloppy punch. Kakashi grabbed the punch as more kage bushins were sent toward him making him go deeper into the forest blocking they're attacks, he suddenly felt like he had tripped over a wire. Poof Poof Poof, all of the kage bushins disappeared and Kakashi began looking around.

"UP!" A yell called out from one of the bushes.

Kakashi looked up only to see a bucket of pink landing on him. He began twiching then tripped over another wire which setted off the bucket of glue. He swore he heard giggling in one of the bushes and began making his way toward the bush only to fall into a pit filled with chicken feathers. Kakashi began twiching like mad as he got up and began making his way toward the trio's chakra signature to teach them a lesson. As he made it to the clearing only to see the two of the three smiling innocently, he began looking for the last one only to hear, "Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu" as a huge ball of fire made its way toward him.

Kakashi dodged it only to find one thing missing from his hand...NOOOOOOOOOOO! THAT WAS THE SPECIAL GOLDEN EDITION ICHA ICHA PARADISE VOLUME 4!

He checked his pouch only to find the two bells missing, he turned back toward the trio that had just added Sasuke.

In Sakura's hand was a bell and Sasuke's was a bell...but Naruto...NOOOOOO...he was holding Kakashi's Icha Icha paradise with a kunai ready to slice it in pieces.

"Mercy! Mercy! There was only 20 of those Icha Icha paradise made!" Kakashi whimpered as Naruto was half an inch away from cutting it.

"Pass us Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked innocently.

Kakashi swore he saw angel wings and halos on them and nodded quickly. Naruto grinned to the other two and threw the book toward Kakashi.

Kakashi began hugging the book like it was his life as he looked up and glared at them.

"Meet me at the south bridge tomorrow and 7am and we'll begin missions...ohhh my precious.." The trio sweatdropped at their silver haired sensei's antics as he poofed away.

"Well let's go to Ichikaru's ramen! Sakura-neechan! Sasuke-niichan!" Sasuke and Sakura smiled at the blond boys antics and the honorfic he gave them. 'To be a big brother eh?' Sasuke thought as he catched up with Sakura and Naruto who were ahead of him...

------Three months and 53 D rank missions later------

"Is everyone in they're spots?" Kakashi asked through the headphone waiting for replies.

"Naruto, point A affermative"

"Sakura, point B affermative"

"Sasuke, point C affermative"

"Spotted target. Catch?" Naruto asked through the headpiece.

"Does it have a ribbon on its ear?"

"Affermative" The trio replied in unison.

"Triangle formation and catch"

Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto jumped from behind the bushes in a triange and jumped at the target.

"Missing cat: Complete!" Sakura called out as Kakashi came out of the bushes, holding the cat Sakura began petting it.

Over the three months and D-rank missions, they have gotten closer like a family. Such as, Kakashi is the father, Sasuke is the big brother, Sakura is the middle child and Naruto was the little brother of the team 7. They had found out the reason why Konoha had hated Naruto but they still accepted Naruto either way. They had also found out Naruto's real name and who he really was, which was Kazama Naruto son of Konoha's yellow flash. Naruto was wearing his father's coat while practicing Hirashin no jutsu only to trip over the special kunai and fall into a ditch. Naruto had figured out they were there when Sasuke kept laughing and Naruto was forced to tell them because of the questions they gave him. Sasuke was about hit Naruto across the head for not telling them earlier only to get caught in Naruto's Akuma Henge(courtesy of Kyuubi - Enter Kyuubis Sadistic Laugh), a smaller form of himself with big cerulean eyes and a pout. It had destroyed Sasuke's pride that day.

"Let's head to the hokage tower and give back to Ms.Shimiji!" Kakashi had an evil glint in his eyes as he remembered catching the same cat last week and the feudal lord's wife was strangling it to death.-Enter Sadistic Grin-. Making they're way into the hokage tower and to the hokage's office, they gave the feudal lord's wife her cat as she squeezed it to death and left, only one thought ran through team 7's head, 'Squeeze him more! MORE!' untill the hokage brought them out of they're innocent thoughts.

"Now we have other D-rank missions, paint Mr.Takato's fence, baby sit the day ca-" The hokage was interupted by Naruto, what? Naruto has his limits also.

"NONONONONONONONONONO! NO MORE D RANKS! Please Sarutobi-jiisan! At least a C-rank! I'd say our team is qualified for it! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF KAMI!" The rest of team 7 nodded their heads, even Kakashi.

"Naruto! What did I tell you about disrespecting the hokage! You know that D-rank mi-" Iruka was then interupted by the Hokage who raised his hand for silence.

"Very well then, we have a C-rank mission that had just come in. It is a body gaurd mission, the client is Tazuna. He is a bridge builder of the wave countrey and wishes to be escorted back to Wave. Please bring in Tazuna." The hokage asked an anbu, when the anbu came back behind him was a drunk looking old dude.

"These are my bodyguards!? A bunch of brats! The shortest one doesn't even look like a ninja! Look at that stupid face!" Sakura and Sasuke knew this wasn't good and jumped on him making everyone suprised as the three landed on the ground, Kakashi sat on them like it was an everyday thing.

Naruto began lashing out under them.

"LET ME AT HIM! COMON! JUST AN ARM PLEASSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" Sakura punched Naruto making his head slam to the ground.

Before they got off Naruto they made sure he was counting sheeps and then let him up.

"Don't worry Tazuna-san, I am a jounin just incase anything goes wrong. Now you three go pack your things and meet by the gate in an hour!" With that the trio left leaving Kakashi to get the mission briefing from the hokage.

-----With Naruto----

"Kyuubi should I bring my coat?" Naruto asked as he was rummaging through his closet to get four pairs of extra clothing.

"Sure kit. They already know so what's the point of hiding it? Also bring your mask just incase." Kyuubi answered back.

Naruto put his finishing items in his bag and then changed into the same clothing he had worn on the first day team 7 was made, he wore it like any other day as his main shinobi clothing. Tying his hitai-ate around his neck and putting on his father's coat he went toward the mirror and smiled.

'I look just like you don't I tou-san?..' Naruto smiled as he heard Kyuubi laugh inside his mind-forest. Naruto collected his scrolls and kunais and shuriken into his pouches then threw his backpack onto his left shoulder and left toward Konoha's gate using kirameki no jutsu.

While the Konoha citizens saw a yellow flash they swore that the ghost of the yondaime has come back to haunt them, or to protect them?

----At the gate----

Kakashi, Sakura, Sasuke, and Tazuna looked at the coat he was wearing and grinned toward them. They nodded as they began to walk down the path toward wave country.

While they were walking Naruto had spotted a puddle and began gaving the team hints.

"Hey did you know it hasn't 'rained' for along time?" Team 7 and they're client looked at Naruto then team 7 looked at to where Naruto was eyeing at. Sakura began to go alittle faster taking out pepper spray from her pouch making the four men behind her sweatdrop. She walked toward the the puddles and sprayed them. Three..two..one..Two screams were heard as two figures appeared from the puddle.

"YOU BITCH!" The two nuke-nins attacked Sakura who was twiching at the word they had just called her. Tazuna and the boys of team 7 back away alittle more from Sakura who had just released a large amount of killer intent that froze the two nins as she went up to them and began throwing them around like dolls. When Sakura was satisfied she tied them up and brought them back to the men and boys who had just witness her special nut cracker. They winced as Sakura set down the two nins and smiled innocently.

"Well u-um...The-these look like th-the two demon brothers-coughcough-. I'd say they are at least chunnin level which brings me to want to ask Tazuna what is really going on," After Tazuna explained the things about Gatou and the bridge, Team 7 couldn't abandoned Tazuna and his people like that and Kakashi sent a nin dog to get anbu to retrieve the demon brothers and continued on they're journey.

When they had gotten off the boat ride Naruto had sensed something in the bushes and threw a kunai at it startling everyone. He walked into the bushes and came out holding a white bunny.

"Naruto-otouto what are you doing!? You almost killed the rabbit!" Sakura yelled at Naruto.

"Look at it Sakura! It's white, only white ones come out in winter. This was a substitution!" When everyone caught on and felt the winds shift.

"Everyone, get down!" shouted Kakashi. They were all able to make it in time before the large spinning sword cleaved them all in half. It had embedded itself in a tree and a very smug looking man was standing on it. Kakashi stopped Naruto from jumping into the battle after he had explained that this was Momochi Zabuza, a Missing-Nin of the Hidden Village of the Mist. Kakashi went to lift up his forehead protector.

"Team, surround and protect Tazuna. As for Zabuza, he will have to fight me first!" said Kakashi, revealing to all his single Sharingan eye.

"Ah, I already get to see the famous Sharingan eye. I am honoured" stated Zabuza. Everyone was having their own thoughts except for Zabuza and Naruto who were looking at each other having a mental conversation, Zabuza nodded at the end and then called out his famous technique, ninpou:kirigakure no jutsu.

After they heard Zabuza's intimidating speech about which part of the body he should strike on them, the large wave of killer intent could be felt. Team 7 and Kakashi were unaffected but Tazuna began hiding behind the three gennins.

"Don't worry Tazuna, we'll protect you even if we have to die!" Kakashi tried to comfort his client knowing that his three gennins could already protect themselfs.

"We'll see about that" said Zabuza as he landed in the middle of the protective huddle around Tazuna, with his sword at the ready. Naruto had already sensed he was coming and had pushed his team mates out of the way and grabbed onto Tazuna's shirt while he jumped into the air dodging Zabuza. He landed with Tazuna in tow to where his team mates had landed after he had pushed them away.

He looked back to see that Kakashi had already stopped Zabuza's attack and Naruto sighed and procceeded to sit down.

Zabuza had a kunai in his stomach but he then morphed into water. It was a water clone. Zabuza was behind Kakashi and swung his sword cleaving Kakashi in half. But it was yet again just a water clone. Thus started the fight of water clones which was ended when Kakashi was kicked into the lake and trapped in a water prison.

"TAKE TAZUNA WITH YOU AND RUN!" Kakashi yelled out to his teammates but Sasuke and Naruto shook their heads and Sakura stayed in a defensive position.

"Those who break the rules are trash" Sasuke started.

"But those who leave their friends" Sakura said.

"Are worst then trash!" Naruto finished as he and Sasuke began running on the water which they had learned from Kakashi while they were training and attempted to kick Zabuza only to have him jump away and release the water prison. Zabuza was about to attack Naruto and Sasuke who had just reached back to shore only to get a roundhouse kick to his face courtesy of Kakashi.

The Konoha Jounin glared at Zabuza, his Sharingan eye whirling, "Don't forget! I'm your opponent!"

His voice lowered, "And I don't fall for the same Jutsu twice."

Zabuza snorted, flashing through hands seals as Kakashi followed his lead, "Bah!"

They both stopped on bird, "Suiton: Suiryudan no Jutsu!"

Two large water dragons rose from the lake, battling each other for dominance! With a loud SPLASH, they both collapsed back into the lake as water, sending waves rippling across the surface!

Growling his frustration, Zabuza ran to the side a bit, Kakashi mirroring his movements. "My movements! He's…"

"Reading them," Kakashi finished the missing-nin's thoughts aloud, creeping his students and opponent out.

"What? Did he read my mind?"

He stared at his legendary opponent, glaring at the Sharingan, "Damn! That…"

"Freaky eye is pissing me off! Right?" The Copy Nin said to his enemy tauntingly.

When Zabuza started yelling, Kakashi shouted back in perfect unison, "All you're doing is copying me! You can't beat me, you monkey bastard!"

"Damn! I'll make it so that you'll never open that mouth again!"

He started with hand seals again, but stopped when he saw a fuzzy image of himself appear behind Kakashi.

"W-what? Is this another of his damn Genjutsu!?"

Kakashi finished sealing, "Suiton: Daibaku no Jutsu!"

A great explosion of water picked Zabuza up and forced him into the trees. It traveled to the shore as well, soaking Tazuna and the three Genin.

Four kunai soared through the air, each one piercing an arm of a leg. Zabuza cried out in pain as the kunai's lodge into him.

Kakashi landed on a branch above him, kunai in hand, "It's over."

Zabuza looked up at him, surprise evident in his eyes, "How? Can you see the future?"

Kakashi hid his Sharingan behind his hitai-ate again and stared at Zabuza and said, "Yeah. Your future is death."

Two senbon flew through the air, lodging themselves deep in Zabuza's neck. Everyone spun around to see a masked Hunter-nin, "Yeah. He's dead alright."

He jumped down, landing next to Zabuza's body and beginning to lift it, "Thank you very much. I've been searching for the opportunity to kill Zabuza-san for a long time."

He hefted the missing-nin onto his shoulder, "I must dispose of this body. Farewell."

But before the hunter-nin left he got a look from Naruto that said 'We're going to have a long talk after this' the hunter nin nodded and disappeared in a whirl of wind. Kakashi sighed and stretched abit as he jumped down beside his team, "Now, we have to get Tazuna-san home. Let's go!"

Tazuna went from 'silent observer' to 'happy hero' before their eyes, "Haha! Come over to my house and relax for a while."

Everyone sweatdropped as Kakashi fell flat on his face. Naruto poked the silver haired Jounin several times with a random tree branch he had found lying on the ground, "Uhhh. I think he's dead!"

Sakura laughed slightly and Sasuke just shook his head in amusement, leaning down to check on their sensei, "No otouto he's just tired."

Naruto grinned and scratched his head absentmindedly, "Umm...I knew that!" With that he lifted Kakashi up and followed Tazuna toward they're clients home, leaving Sakura and Sasuke to shake their heads in shamed and follow not to far behind.

----In the forest----

After being told that Zabuza did not die yet Naruto decided to tell them not to kill him the next time they met him. At dinner Inari, Tsunami's son and Tazuna's grandson had said things like Gatou was going to kill him and they didn't know what loneliness meant untill Naruto had enough and told Inari about the loneliness in his life and left and still hasn't been seen for the past few days.

As Naruto was lying down after a long training session he had sensed another chakra signature coming closer toward him. Then suddenly a rock had hit his head courtesy of the person.

Naruto opened his eye to spot his long distance friend he called a cousin there.

"Yo Haku-chan. Come sit." Naruto got up in a sitting position and tapped the place beside him for Haku to sit.

"Naruto-kun? Why are you here with Kakashi-san?" Haku asked sitting down.

"Their my team. Our client was Tazuna. Were you and Zabuza-jisan hired by Gatou by any chance?" He asked the girl beside him. (Yeshhh Haku is a girl in my story because he acts to femminine! xD)

"Yes we were. Zabuza is currently healing from the wounds you guys inflicted upon him." Haku replied fingering the herbs in her basket.

"I got an idea. I told my team not to kill you guys next time we meet, but make sure you don't use the demonic ice mirrors and only enter whomever your fighting with in taijutsu alright?" Naruto layed back down fingering a flower between his hands.

"I will be sure to tell Zabuza-tousan to lay low as well, I have a feeling that Gatou was just using us. After all, I did break his arm!" Haku grinned at the memory and stood up.

"I'll see you later, I'll also head back to my team. Be sure to lay low and I'll tell my team to lay low as well untill Gatou makes his appearance"

With that Naruto and Haku went separated ways with one thought running through they're minds, 'Let's see how it ends up...'

----Two days later----

After telling team 7 what he had told Haku and made sure they layed low. Sasuke and Naruto had begun to practice they're taijutsu while Sakura was practicing genjutsu, leaving Kakashi to read his Icha Icha paradise books.

Naruto groaned as he woke up from the long day of taijutsu and put on his clothes and fingered his coat slightly before putting it on. Naruto tried openning a mind link with Kyuubi only to find out the kitsune was sleeping. When Naruto finished putting on his hitai-ate he heard a scream from downstairs.'TSUNAMI-SAN!'

Running down the stairs at top speed Naruto found Tsunami being dragged out of the house by two bandits and Inari was about to charge them, he decided he would finally show himself.

Grabbing Inari and using kawarimi no jutsu on Tsunami he set the two aside.

"Naruto!" Inari called out. Naruto turned his head and gave Inari a smile before turning back to the two thugs.

"A hero always comes at the last moment, right?" Inari smiled and nodded with tears visible in his eyes.

"You bastard!" The two thugs called out taking out their katanas. From the stance Naruto saw they were in he knew that they were amatures in this field and disappeared and reappeared behind them knocking them out swiftly and tying them up. Making his way toward Inari he gave the boy a nuggie, "Protect your mom Inari! I'll be back soon!"

With that Naruto activated his Jikanhengagan and began running toward the bridge with kirameki no jutsu activated.

When he reached there he had multiple sweatdrops visible. When he had told them to lay low, he had never meant that low.

Sitting there in a circle was Kakashi, Zabuza, Haku, Sasuke, Sakura, and Tazuna playing poker and there was no bridge worker visible. He jumped down and knocked Zabuza across the head.

"What the fuck!? This is the most retarded sight I've ever seen! When I said lay low I never meant that low!" Zabuza offered Naruto a hand of cards which Naruto accepted and entered the circle and began playing. After fifteen minutes they sensed people on the bridge and looked up to see Gatou and his men.

"What is this? Zabuza and his stupid girl playing cards with the target?! Oh well, I was never going to pay you anyways and now I can handle all you people all at once! GET THEM!" Gatou called out in his cocky voice.

Tazuna hid behind one of the crates while team 7, Zabuza and Haku began take down half of Gatou's forces. With a finishing touch Zabuza cut off Gatou's head for a cherry ontop.

"HEY THAT WAS OUR MEAL TICKET! WE'RE GOING TO KILL YOU!" The mob attacked only to see a flying arrow land infront of them. The mob and the 8 turned back to see Inari standing beside his mother with all the villagers packed with pikes and other weapons they could find. The mob was frightened and began running away as fast as they could as everybody began cleaning up the bodies and took Gatou's head for bounty.

------Two weeks later------

The bridge was finally finished and team 7, Zabuza and Haku were currently ready to leave. The villagers were currently bidding them farewell as Naruto talked to Inari.

"You'll visit right Naruto-niisan?" Inari asked Naruto with pleading eyes to get a laugh and reply back.

"Of course I will! Don't worry, hey now you can cry if your happy!" Naruto grinned but Inari shook his head.

"I wasn't going to cry but you can Naruto-niisan!!" As team 7, Zabuza and Haku began making they're way toward Konoha, they left a bunch of villagers to name the bridge.

"So what should we name it?" One of the villagers asked.

"I got a name!" Tazuna yelled out making everyone look at him while he was grinning, "Why don't we call it the Great Demon Leaf Bridge? We were saved by the demon of the mist and a team from Konoha who raised our hopes and helped us!"

"LONG LIVE THE GREAT DEMON LEAF BRIDGE!" The villagers coursed.
-------TBC-------
Iris: I really just made it up and I'm sorry if its wrong! And also Tenten will come back in the next few chapters!

A rice ball: Stay tuned for the next chapter! Ja ne! -The rice ball began going back to making itself edible.-

Iris Edited: Hmm then I guess I could change Yukiko to Ex-sannin - and I put it as a wolf to base it off of the Kazama summons. While Naruto has Kyuubi - so I called him Kitsune. So I thought of putting it as fox in the wolves (I wasn't sure what wolves was in jap so I used Ookami). It'll be like Naruto is the kitsune while the kazamas are the ookami, and I'm making sure no one but Yukiko, Kyuubi, Naruto, Sandaime, and Orochimaru knew of Arashi and his fox clan contract!
