Chapter 8

Nami no Kuni - 6 days later

Six days passed from that night in which Naruto had 'fun' with Anko and Tsunami. Nothing unusual had happened in those six days, besides that. However, didn't do that all nights, just like the night before.

Naruto had decided to train the whole night because he didn't want to get used to that routine. He had another one, which was to train at night, although he didn't mind taking a day off to do 'other things'. But he had stopped training for almost a week.

That's why he was in the forest; he had been training from very early and had fallen asleep because he spent a lot of his chakra. He had begun training in the mastering of his elements. He made hundreds of shadow clones and divided them into five groups, each group for a particular nature. He didn't make any clones for his gravity element because Naruto knew he had mastered it at this point. He knew the steps to master each of his elements, since he had read it many times in the scroll and memorized the steps.

Meanwhile, he had been looking for a way to improve his Taijutsu since he wasn't as small as he was before. Hence, it was hard to him to make some moves that he could previously do more easily.

He continued training with his Taijutsu for several hours, trying to find a way where he could use it from now on and in the near future since Naruto knew that he would keep growing. Regardless, Naruto had forgotten something crucial, and that was to remind to his clones not dissipate themselves all at once.

When Naruto had decided to take a break and get some sleep, he felt that all his clones disappeared at once. He felt a terrible headache, which made him fall unconscious on the spot.

Naruto woke up in his mental landscape and could see a smiling Kurama. He sighed and said, "You don't need to tell me. I forgot about that detail. I didn't believe that my clones would be so stupid as to dissipate all at once. But I don't care. I was about to sleep. And I see that those idiots made good progress. The Fūton group in particular. They already managed to cut the leaves. I didn't think that they would do it so quickly. "

Kurama chuckled but said nothing. Naruto looked at his mental landscape and realized that Kurama had made several changes again. Now, besides being a recreation place, it also had great prairies, as well as several normal sized foxes running in the surrounding area. He didn't mind this since he had given Kurama freedom to modify the landscape as he pleased. It was he the one who lived here, after all. After that, he ended the connection and went to sleep.

7 hours later

A girl with a pink kimono was collecting some forest herbs. That girl was Haku; she had come out of the hideout to get some medicine for Zabuza to continue healing his wounds. She continued collecting more herbs until she saw several broken trees in the area, as well as several cracks in the ground. She looked forward and saw Naruto lying on the ground. That caused her heart to pump faster, but she also felt a sense of worry when seeing Naruto there.

She quickly ran to see if he was okay, but when she was right in front of him, she recalled how easily he defeated Zabuza.

She had to finish him; she couldn't disappoint the man who took care of her. She then leaned down and headed her hand to Naruto's neck, who still seemed to be sleeping.

Haku didn't want to do this; she didn't know why. Had she fallen in love with Naruto by just seeing him once? That was what she wondered all these days, and she couldn't find an answer to that question.

However, just as she was about to grab him by his neck, she lost her will and slapped Naruto's shoulder, shaking it while saying, "You're going to catch a cold if you sleep here."

Naruto then opened his eyes, got up a little and said, "Hmm. I was asking myself when I would see you again. Tell me, how is Zabuza?" Haku was taken aback.

She hadn't brought anything with her to fight against Naruto, and she knew that if he wanted to kill her, he would have no difficulty to do so. Hence, she smiled and replied, "Who is Zabuza? I don't know who that man is."

Naruto rolled his eyes and responded, "Come on, you don't need to lie. And don't be afraid; I would never attack a girl as pretty as you. I know you tried to do something a few seconds ago, but I was confident that you wouldn't do anything."

Haku blushed, but she quickly regained her composure and replied. "Naruto-san, you and I are enemies, so we shouldn't be talking right now. Zabuza-sama is about to recover from the wounds that you caused him, and after that, we'll end up with what we started."

Naruto smiled and exclaimed, "Wow! You know my name, but I don't know yours... "

"Haku," she replied

Naruto smiled and commented, "Hmm, it's a beautiful name for a lovely lady." Haku couldn't help blushing again. Naruto then continued, "Haku-chan, we shouldn't be enemies. Rather than fighting, we should stop. Haku-chan, tell me, what are you doing with a bastard like Zabuza?"

Haku wanted to scold him for the word he had chosen to describe Zabuza. Nevertheless, she couldn't since she began to feel the same thing when they first met again.

Therefore, she replied with difficulty. "Na-Naruto-san, I m-must leave; I'll see you again soon." Then she got up, but before she could walk away, Naruto grabbed her hands and continued, "Come on, Haku-chan. Stay a little longer; I just want to know you more."

Haku had bitten her lip to hide a moan. Haku could swear that she felt a kind of electric current traveling through her body, which made her feel even hornier. However, Haku shook her head and replied, "I'm s-sorry Naruto-kun, but I really can't stay any longer, I must return with Zabuza-sama." But then, she bit her lip again when she felt Naruto caressing her hands.

Naruto led her back to the ground and spoke, "Come on, Haku-chan! What's so important, anyways? Why don't we talk just a minute? So we can get to know more. Perhaps we might even have something in common."

Haku didn't know what was happening. She just wanted to jump on him and do whatever he told her. But she was trying very hard to resist her impulses. She then nodded and replied, "O-okay, what do you want to talk about?"

Naruto smiled and stopped attacking her with his pheromones. He then replied, "Well, I already know what your name is, and you also know mine. So, why don't you tell me how you ended up in the clutches of Zabuza?"

Haku, who was still a little 'horny', answered. "I don't know if I should talk about this, but..." Then she told Naruto about her childhood. About how her father killed her mother; that she became a street orphan; and that Zabuza 'adopted' her.

She didn't know why she told him all that. However, she felt that she needed to.

Naruto listened intently to every word, and he honestly said, "Hmm. Without a doubt, you and I have a lot in common. Haku-chan, why don't you come back to the village with me? There we'll have much more time to talk, and alone." He grinned, releasing his pheromones, but, this time, more than before. He moved closer to Haku and began to caress her cheek with his thumb.

Haku, this time, could not help moaning, which made her blush considerably. She looked away and replied, "Na-Naruto-kun, I-I ca-can't, I-I-I'm a man."

Naruto instantly stopped and stared at her with a serious face. But, in the end, he couldn't help it and laughed, "Come on, Haku-chan! Tell me something cleverer than that, hahaha," wiping a tear from his eye; he continued, "But hey, Haku-chan. I'm giving you the opportunity to come with me. If you continue with Zabuza; you'll continue being miserable. Come with me; I promise you that we'll have a good time there."

Haku sighed in disappointment when Naruto stopped touching her; it felt so well. The only thing she wanted was to him to keep touching her. But then she remembered his words and replied, "But I can't, Zabuza-sama..."

But before she could say more, Naruto put a finger on her lips and continued, "Haku-chan, don't you see it? That bastard is just using you. Once he sees that you're no longer useful to him, he'll get rid of you without hesitation. I also went through something like that before. The difference is that I didn't let them use me. That's why I'm saying that we're very similar. "

Haku realized she was losing her resistance. She had to leave this place, or else she would end up accepting his proposal. Thus, she got up again, and without saying anything; she walked in the opposite direction.

But she felt Naruto grabbing her hand again, turning her around, "Naruto-kun, I can't-" at that moment, she felt Naruto's lips against hers.

She was surprised at first, but as she felt Naruto's lips, Haku couldn't help returning the kiss.

She was in heaven; she never thought that she would kiss someone. Could she have a normal life like the other Shinobi? Without worrying of ninja hunters?

Haku realized that she had lost the little resistance that she had left; she already knew it. She had fallen for Naruto, with just seeing him and talking a bit with him. She had read about that in novels, but she didn't know that something like that could happen to her. Who would have thought it?

She then felt Naruto's tongue inside her mouth playing with her tongue; she shyly did the same. After a few minutes, they separated. Haku with a blush on her cheeks and Naruto with a more than sexy look on his face

Haku then lowered her head and asked, "Why me? Why do you want me to go with you, Naruto-kun? We barely know each other, and you already want me to follow you. Tell me why do you want that?"

Naruto approached her and sat Haku down on the ground. Then he answered, "Because I hate seeing people using others, and even more for pathetic interests. I know about Zabuza and his failed coup d'état, and I know that he wants to do it again. But the only thing he will accomplish is death, along with everyone wishing to help him. He doesn't have the power nor the intelligence to accomplish something of that magnitude. He believes that he can go to Kiri and do whatever he wants with just wishing it. Haku-chan, you don't have to waste your life on something that will fail no matter what. Come with me, Haku-chan; I promise that your life won't be the same as it had been. You've already paid your debt to Zabuza. It's time for you to be in charge of your life. Besides that, you're beautiful, intelligent and a great Kunoichi. I can't allow that someone like you waste her life in such a way."

Haku upon hearing this felt her heart warming. She could see the sense in Naruto's words, and he was right. She had already paid her debt to Zabuza quite some time ago; here was a new opportunity, a chance that she was willing to accept.

She nodded and hugged Naruto while saying, "I agree, Naruto-kun; I will go back to your village with you. I don't want to escape from the hunters anymore. Please, promise me that you won't leave me."

Naruto began to caress Haku's hair and answered, "It's a promise, and I keep my promises. All I want you to do now is go back with Zabuza and act as if none of this has happened; just keep doing what Zabuza says. Kakashi is about to recover too, and he'll take care of Zabuza. He's no match for someone like Kakashi. Once Zabuza is dead, you'll come with me. Don't worry, nothing bad will happen to you. That's up to me."

Haku nodded and decided to give a little kiss to Naruto, who smiled at that. She then asked, "What will we do once we are in your village? What are your plans?"

Naruto smiled and replied, "My plans? Well..."

Meanwhile - Tazuna's house

"Here you go," Tsunami said while giving a bowl of food to Sakura, who thanked her. Tazuna then spoke. "Naruto didn't return last night, right?" Tsunami and Anko sighed in disappointment since they did nothing the last night. However, Anko replied. "No... Naruto said that he wanted to train a bit, that he didn't want to get used to having sex every night and that he had to return to his routine." She replied as she put some food into her mouth.

Listening to Anko's sincere words, everyone in the room blushed. Then Tsunami added, "I wonder if he is alright, our country nights are cold."

Kakashi had imagined Naruto along with Anko and Tsunami doing 'that,' which gave him a nosebleed. But now he was cleaning it, so he replied. "Don't worry, Naruto it's an excellent Shinobi. Besides, I think it's impossible for him to get a cold." Tsunami was already aware of his condition as a Jinchūriki, so she just nodded.

Sasuke spoke then, "Hmph, I don't know anything about that. Maybe that demon is dead." Everyone in the room looked at Sasuke as if he were a fool. Just a few days ago, Naruto nearly killed him, and he continued with that attitude. It seemed that some people would never learn. Even Sakura had already realized that Naruto was someone to be afraid of.

Sasuke got up from his seat to leave the room. Sakura saw this and asked, "Sasuke-kun?" Sasuke didn't turn and replied, "I'm going for a ride." And then he left the room.

Sakura was about to tell him that they were about to eat, but she saw that Sasuke had already eaten all his food.

Menma also stood up and declared, "Kakashi-nii, I will finish the training. I can almost achieve it. I'm sure that this evening I will have it ready." Kakashi nodded at the words of his 'brother'. After that, Menma also left the room.

Several minutes later, the house remained empty. Kakashi went to oversee the training of his students. Sakura followed Tazuna to the bridge to protect him since she already knew how to walk on trees. After all, that crazy training with Anko was useful.

Anko went to look for Naruto, and if she were lucky, she could 'catch up' with him.

Tsunami stayed to do the chores at home and Inari could only think of Naruto.

Zabuza's Hideout - 2 hours later

Haku had returned to the hideout a few hours ago. She had given Zabuza the medicine, and he already seemed recovered. She could only think of Naruto, and she was euphoric for having a chance like that.

She heard about Naruto's plans, and she decided to help him. His plans were better than Zabuza's, and she knew that someday Naruto would be someone very powerful and feared in the Elemental Nations.

She went out of her thoughts after seeing Zabuza crushing an apple with his hands, and seeing this; she stated, "Much of your strength is back."

Zabuza checked his arm and added, "Okay. It's almost time, Haku."

Haku answered with a "Hai" as she thought, "Yes Zabuza-sama. I appreciate what you've done for me, but it's time that I decide in my life. I'm sorry, but soon, you will have to die. I'm really sorry..."

18:00 o'clock - Somewhere in Nami no Kuni

A pair of drenched and tired boys had smiles of triumph on their faces since both of them had completed the training that Kakashi had given them. And speaking of Kakashi, he had already left several hours ago because he got bored of watching them.

Then Sasuke, without opening his eyes and with the same smile as before, said. "Time to go back."

Menma smiled even more and answered. "Sure!"

Back at Tazuna's house

Everyone was there, except for Menma and Sasuke, who didn't arrive yet. Sakura, noticing this, said, "They didn't come yet. Neither Sasuke-kun nor Menma-kun." Then Tsunami started serving the meal to everyone, and just as they began eating, the door opened.

Everyone turned around and saw Menma and Sasuke walking in, both looked quite tired. Tazuna spoke first, "What happened to you two? You look exhausted and soaked."

Menma smiled a little and replied, "We've managed to stay on the water surface."

Kakashi gave an eye smile and continued, "Okay, Menma and Sasuke. You will protect Tazuna-san next time." They both smiled and nodded as they sat to eat at the table.

Naruto didn't care. His mission was to reinforce them, not to protect Tazuna. Though he would do it since he didn't want Tsunami suffering for his death.

After that, he started eating quietly, throwing compliments at Tsunami for the excellent dinner.

A few minutes later, everyone had finished the dinner and Tazuna spoke again, "The Bridge is almost complete. It's thanks to you."

Tsunami, who was clearing the dishes with the help of some clones of Naruto, added. "But don't push yourself so much."

Tazuna didn't pay much attention to it; he knew that his daughter cared deeply for him. Tazuna was grateful, but he was doing all of this for the sake of his village. He then settled in his chair and looked with a serious expression at everyone, "I wanted to ask this before, but ... Why are you still here when I lied about the request details?"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi crossed his arms and replied, "Not doing right when you know it is right is a coward's way. There are no weak soldiers led by a brave commander." Tazuna was a little surprised to hear those words from Kakashi, who added. "Those are the teachings of the Hokage."

Inari snorted and looked at Menma, who seemed to rest. Then he looked at Naruto, who seemed to be talking about something interesting with Anko since she was smiling and nodding at every word.

At that moment, he remembered that day when his father saved the village; the day when Gatō executed his father in public, and finally, the words that his father told him years ago, "Protect whatever is important to you with these two arms." Then he shed some tears and asked, "Why?" That attracted everyone's attention; they looked at Inari, who had bowed his head.

Inari then hit the table with both hands, stood up and yelled, "Why are you trying so hard that you end up like that? You can't beat Gatō's men even if you train! No matter how hard you try and say those good-looking words. Weak people will always lose against strong people!" Everyone was surprised, all but Naruto, who chuckled.

Inari heard that and shouted, "What's so funny?! Shut up! It pisses me off when I watch you! You don't know anything about this country, and you're nosy! I'm different from you! You're someone who doesn't know any real pain and just laughs all the time!" He exclaimed while more tears ran down his cheeks.

Naruto laughed again, "Hehehe. Brat, if you were to have the life that I had, then you would have died a long time ago. But so what? The life that I had only made me powerful. You said that weak people lose against the strong ones. You are right. But a weak person can become strong, just like I did. But if all you do is cry, you will never achieve anything in this life, and in the end, all you will do is cry more and more. Stop crying and do something by yourself, brat. You are lucky to have a mother and a grandfather who care about you, when people in other places don't even have that, and they fight to survive every day on their own. Your attitude disgusts me, and if I haven't killed you from the moment that you started to cry, it's because you're the son of Tsunami-chan, and I would never make her feel sad." Inari was surprised to hear those words, words that made him shut up, but he was still crying.

Naruto then rose up from his seat and continued, "Change of plans, Anko-chan. I'm going to rest earlier today; we will postpone 'that' for another day. Night, Anko-chan, Tsunami-chan, old man, idiots, pervert, and crybaby."

Anko pouted but said nothing. She knew that the words of that kid didn't affect him, but she knew that remembering his childhood bothered him. Not because it was bad, but because he was someone weak and pathetic back then.

The others whom Naruto put a nickname to, felt a bit offended, but they said nothing.

Then Inari also left the room to watch the sea. Kakashi saw this and decided to follow him later. After a few minutes, Kakashi got up from his seat, went to where Inari was, and when he was there, asked. "Can I?" He didn't expect an answer and sat next to Inari.

"Naruto can sometimes be someone who says things as they are and speaks plainly. As I've heard, he's someone who gets angry easily. We heard about your father from Tazuna-san. Naruto is similar to you because he didn't have a father when he was a child. He didn't even meet them; we still don't know who his parents are. He neither had friends because, in our village, most people hate and despise him. All for an incident that occurred in our village 13 years ago. Everyone blames Naruto, but he was just a baby when that happened. But anyway, people are like that..."

Inari was surprised to hear this, and he paid more attention to the words of Kakashi, who continued. "I didn't see much of his childhood, but I know it was terrible. He even disappeared for a few years from our village, with the purpose of getting stronger. When he returned, he didn't allow anyone to touch him, because, before that, people in my village took care of beating him daily."

Inari was even more surprised; did he become strong so that nobody else could hurt him? Was that even possible? But then he asked. "But, why did no one help him? Why did no one protect him? I thought that in a ninja village, the ninjas of the village protected the people from danger."

Kakashi sighed and replied, "Well, most of the ninja population also saw Naruto as a nuisance, and they cared little if anything happened to him. I include myself among those who didn't care what could happen to him. But it wasn't because I hated him. It was because I had other obligations, and I couldn't take care of him. All I know is that he is someone very strong; I might even say that he is almost at my level. I don't know how that's possible, but you can see it; if someone gets tired of being treated like garbage, and if that someone decides to do something about it, then they can achieve it. Think about it, Inari. If you want to change things, then you have to do it by yourself, and don't wait until others do what you can do on your own." Then Kakashi stood up and said goodbye to Inari. Tomorrow everyone would protect Tazuna, so he would have to be with all his strength.

Meanwhile, Inari stayed to think about Kakashi's words, and especially, about Naruto.

The next day

"Kakashi-san, are you all right now?" Tsunami asked.

Kakashi smiled and answered, "Yes, kind of."

Then Anko added, "Hey, Tsunami-chan. Take good care of Naruto-kun; I didn't wake him up because I know he won't want to go to protect this perverted old man. So be sure to treat him very well, you know what I mean." She said the last thing while moving her eyebrows.

Tsunami blushed a little and nodded. Then Tazuna said goodbye to her, and they all went to the bridge.

Somewhere else

"What are you doing? I didn't hire you for charity." Gatō said through a phone, and then continued, "Hey, are you listening? Zabuza? Hey!"

Zabuza was listening Gatō speaking through a transmitter, so he ended up shattering it with his feet and commanded, "Let's go, Haku."

Haku, who was along with Zabuza in a boat, responded, "Hai, Zabuza-sama."

They both looked up and saw the bridge, hearing the sound of working men.

Back at Tazuna's house

Naruto was waking up. He realized that everyone went to the bridge since he couldn't feel the presence of anybody in the house, except for Tsunami and Inari. He rose up lazily from the bed and walked to the door; he walked down the stairs and went to greet Tsunami. Upon arrival, he could see that she was washing a few dishes. He sidled up, stepped behind her and grabbed her by her waist, turning her around to give her a kiss on her lips.

Tsunami dropped the plate on the floor and returned the kiss as she put her arms around Naruto's neck. After several seconds, they separated, and Tsunami said, "Sit down, Naruto-kun. I'll bring you breakfast; I'm sure you're hungry."

Naruto nodded as he sat at the dinner table. "So... Did they all go to the bridge? Even Anko-chan?" Naruto asked.

Tsunami nodded as she made Naruto's breakfast and replied, "Yes, they left about an hour ago, Anko-san said she didn't wake you up because she thought that you would get bored if you protected my father." Then she turned around and gave him breakfast and some tea to Naruto, who gladly received it as he began to eat.

Then he said, "She knows me very well. But good, that means that we are alone, which means…" Tsunami got excited, and she was about to prepare herself, but suddenly the door of her house was cut into several pieces. Naruto and Tsunami could see two men at the entrance, each with a katana.

They entered the house, and one of them, who had a hat, exclaimed, "So you're the daughter of Tazuna. Sorry, but you have to come with us."

Naruto then rose up from his seat and replied, "Hmm, it's a shame because that's not possible."

The two men looked at Naruto and then they started laughing, "Hahaha, what are you going to do, punk? Can't you see?" Asked the other one as he moved his katana.

Naruto just smiled, "Oh, well, I don't know... maybe I should kill you both. I was having a very pleasant conversation with Tsunami-chan, and you dared interrupt us. Yeah, I think I should kill you both." Just then, Inari appeared and saw the men, and to say he was scared was an understatement, he was horrified.

He deduced in an instant that they were men of Gatō, so he screamed, "Kaa-chan!"

Tsunami saw him and shouted, "Inari, go away!" Then the two men turned and looked at Inari, while the shirtless man continued, "What do you want, kid?" Then he looked at the man with the hat and asked, "Should we take him too?"

"We just need one hostage," Replied the other one.

Inari was more scared than before, but then he heard another voice that made him sigh in relief, "Hey, idiots! I'm still here in case you don't remember, and I believe I've said that I would kill you both." The men turned around, and the largest one raised his katana and yelled, "Shut up brat! This has nothing to do with-"

However, he couldn't finish his sentence because Naruto moved at full speed, giving him a powerful kick in his stomach, throwing him outside through the hole he had caused, crashing severely into a pole.

His friend shouted in shock, "Waraji!" He quickly ran to his partner and stood beside him.

What he saw scared him; his friend had died and with a single kick. He turned around and tried to run, but he felt a hand on his arm and heard a voice, "Where are you going? I thought I had said that I would kill you. Don't tell me that you want to miss the excellent opportunity of dying. "

Zōri saw Naruto, and he couldn't help being afraid since he could feel the killing intent of Naruto, who had a blank expression.

A little behind them, Inari saw all this with excitement, as well as Tsunami, who turned on when seeing Naruto fighting for the first time.

Zōri was between a rock and a hard place, and he did the only thing that he could do in a situation like this. He quickly bowed down to Naruto and pleaded, "Please forgive me, I'm just following Gatō's orders." Naruto stopped and looked at Zōri before grinning, "Gatō, eh? I want you to tell me where that dwarf is. If what you say is useful, I may forgive your life."

Zōri quickly responded, "Okay! Gatō will go today to the bridge, along with his men to assassinate Tazuna along with Zabuza and the ninjas of Konoha; that's all that I know! Please, forgive me!"

Naruto became serious, "So, today is the day, huh?" He thought and then continued, "Well, this information was very useful, you can leave." Zōri smiled at that as he thought, "Stupid brat, don't think that I'll forgive you."

Nonetheless, the next thing he heard from Naruto had him paling, "But not alive." Naruto then grabbed Zōri by his neck; he raised him off the ground as he whispered a few words "Fūton: Shinkū Kūki (Wind Style: Vacuum of Air)" Then he gave a soft punch on Zōri's stomach, dropping him to the ground.

Zōri got up quickly and nervously asked, "W-What have you done to me?"

Naruto, who had opened his fist, smiled and asked, "Do you want to know?" Then he closed it slowly.

At that moment, Zōri felt that the air in his lungs started to disappear. And as much as he tried, he couldn't intake any air. He begged as he much as he could, "P-plea-ase... F-for-orgive…"

Naruto grinned and snorted, "After what you've done? After threatening my woman? I don't think so." Then he completely closed his fist, causing Zōri to lie down on the ground, clutching his neck by the lack of air, as well as starting to squirm.

In seconds, his face turned blue, and his eyes turned red, indicating that he had died from suffocation.

After a few seconds, Tsunami ran towards him and gave him a big hug while saying, "Naruto-kun! Thank you, I don't know what would have happened if you weren't here."

Naruto smiled and replied, "If I hadn't been here, I would have found you no matter what, and I would have killed those two bastards, but in a much worse way."

Tsunami smiled and was about to kiss Naruto when they both heard something that shocked them.

"Oto-san!" Inari shouted as he ran to hug him too. Naruto, who had a look of disbelief on his face, asked stupefied, "What did you just say?" Inari smiled widely and replied, "Well, if you are Kaa-chan's boyfriend, then that means that you are my new Oto-san!"

Naruto still had the same expression and replied, "Hey! Yesterday you said that you couldn't stand me, why the sudden change?"

Inari smiled and responded, "Well, I had a talk with Kakashi-san, and I realized that you were right. That's why I now accept you as my Oto-san."

Tsunami saw all this with amusement, Naruto sighed in frustration and added, "Okay, we'll talk about that later, but don't call me in that way, it's annoying. Call me Naruto-san or something like that. But Oto-san? Really?"

Inari just laughed at that, but he said nothing more. He was euphoric; he didn't need to cry anymore.

Naruto then turned around and looked at Tsunami to say. "Okay, I will leave some clones with you in case you have problems. I'll go with Anko-chan; she may need help. Besides, when I get back, I will bring someone else with me. See you in a few hours, Tsunami-chan."

Then he disappeared in a Shunshin of Fire, leaving Tsunami and Inari surprised when something like that.

Inari then ran towards the village. Tsunami saw this and shouted, "Inari! Where are you going?"

Inari smiled and answered, "It's time that the people of this village become strong! I'll help Oto-san and his friends, with the help of all of us!"

Tsunami, after hearing that, she felt happy. At last, her son had returned to normal, and she could only thank Naruto.

On the Bridge - Minutes Before

Kakashi and the others had arrived on the bridge, only to see an unpleasant scene. All the workers were dead. Kakashi instantly knew who did this.

A few seconds later, a mist appeared around them, and they were all put on guard, waiting for the enemy.

Kakashi then spoke, "It seems that he'll finally appear." After saying that, Sakura asked. "This is the Hiding in Mist Technique, right?"

Then they heard a voice, "Sorry for making you wait, Kakashi. Are you still carrying those children? By the way, tell me, where is the red-haired boy? I want to kill him with my own hands."

Before he could say anything, Anko spoke. "Hehehe, it seems that you're still a fool who won't learn things for his your own good. Naruto-kun isn't here right now. He's elsewhere, having some fun."

Zabuza growled, "Damn it! But it doesn't matter; I will kill you first and then I'll take care of the brat." Then several clones of Zabuza appeared around them.

Menma and Sasuke smiled at this. Kakashi noticed it and directed, "Get them, boys!" At that moment, Zabuza's clones went on the attack. However, Menma and Sasuke quickly took care of them.

Then Zabuza and Haku appeared, while Zabuza spoke, "Oh. It seems that you have progressed. Those clones were much better than those of the last time were. Haku you know what to do." Haku just nodded and stood in battle stance.

Menma and Sasuke looked at each other, and both shouted, "Yan-Ken-Po (Rock-paper-scissors)!"

The others could not help sweatdropping. Then they heard Menma sighing and Sasuke saying a 'Hmph" in acceptance.

Haku saw Sasuke stepping forward and talking, "Don't think that I'll forgive you as that demon did on that occasion, I have no problem with killing you."

Haku said nothing, but she narrowed her eyes behind her mask. She would put this brat in his place; she wouldn't hold back. Therefore, she began to spin until she turned into a whirlwind, which approached at Sasuke, who stood in a defensive stance. And just when the whirlwind was in front of him, Sasuke blocked Haku's senbon with his kunai.

In the distance, Zabuza thought, "Oh, he was able to block her at that speed." Then he saw something that made him smile.

Haku was trying to push more power onto her senbon, but she realized that it was impossible. Therefore, with her other hand, she began to make some hand seals, which surprised everyone because they didn't know that something like that was possible. When she ended the hand seals, she spoke, "Sensatsu Suishō (Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death)." She hit the ground with water and in an instant, several senbon appeared in the air, which headed towards them. Thus, Haku jumped back to avoid the attack.

When being at an optimal distance, Haku realized that Sasuke was gone. She turned around and could feel Sasuke punching her face, which caused her to return towards the place where a surprised Zabuza was.

"It seems that I'm faster," Sasuke smirked.

Kakashi became serious and continued, "You can't make fun of our team just because we have kids. Sasuke is the number one rookie of Konohagakure; Sakura is the smartest Kunoichi of the village and Menma is the son of one of the greatest Shinobi of the Elemental Nations and future Hokage of our village." That raised the morale of Kakashi's team, who looked ready for anything.

Zabuza then laughed, "Haku I'll leave the rest to you; I'll take care of Kakashi until the other brat arrives." Haku nodded and then she saw Zabuza launching himself into the attack.

Kakashi then shouted, "Sakura! Protect Tazuna! Menma you go and help Sasuke. We don't know what she can do, so the best thing is that you go and help Sasuke. And you Anko..." But he couldn't finish because Anko interrupted him, "Hey, I'm just here to assist you if you are in trouble, and I don't see that you have it. So fight against that fool while I watch all this." Kakashi sighed and just then, Zabuza tried to stab him, and he barely managed to block it.

Menma followed Sasuke and just then, both could feel the air starting to cool down. Haku made a seal with her hands, and immediately, she made ice mirrors appear around them, completely enclosing them.

They watched in awe as Haku entered in one of them before appearing in all the mirrors.

Kakashi saw that, but he couldn't do anything because his battle with Zabuza had already started. He realized that Zabuza was now fighting better than the last time. Therefore, he quickly pulled up the headband that covered his left eye since he decided to fight seriously from the beginning.

Haku then spoke, "Let's begin. I will show you my true speed." Then she threw several senbon at Menma and Sasuke, who could do nothing to dodge them because her attacks were too fast.

Sasuke got tired of it, so he made some hand seals and shouted "Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu)," spitting the big fireball at the mirrors, just to discover that nothing had happened. Haku, who saw Sasuke's surprise, stated, "You cannot destroy these mirrors with so little power."

Menma and added. "Well, now it's my turn... Fūton: Kazekiri no Jutsu (Wind Release: Slash)." Then he threw the wind slash against Haku's mirrors, only to get the same result as Sasuke.

Haku shook her head and continued, "I already told you; you cannot destroy these mirrors with so little power. I will teach you how to use a jutsu properly." Then all the mirrors began to glow, and Sasuke and Menma were thrown into the air before crashing hard on the ground.

Menma got up quickly and exclaimed, "Damn! Where's the original?! I can't see her!"

Haku shook her head and replied, "There's no point in following me with your eyes. You'll never catch me."

Menma growled again and crossed his fingers, "I don't care, I'll destroy each of the mirrors, and I'll find you. Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu)" Then three clones appeared.

Haku asked herself what he had in mind until she saw something she considered highly dangerous.

In the palm of Menma and one of his other clones, a blue sphere appeared. Menma then yelled, "Rasengan!" and he and his clone quickly ran in different directions to try to crash the ball of chakra into her mirrors.

In the distance, Naruto, who had arrived a few moments ago, got surprised when seeing his brother using that jutsu.

He didn't intervene yet since Zabuza was still breathing, so it wasn't his time yet. He also knew that Haku wouldn't lose against those two. Hence, he wasn't worried.

Kakashi smiled and thought, "It seems that Sensei hasn't wasted any time."

Zabuza didn't pay attention since he knew that Haku wouldn't have problems with that technique inside her dome of mirrors.

Haku then moved at full speed within the mirrors, and she quickly destroyed the clone and then grabbed Menma's hand before throwing him to the ground, causing his technique to crash into the ground and create a big crater.

Menma growled in frustration and thought, "Damn it! I can't even use the Rasengan; I'm still not fast enough."

Sasuke, who saw the power of the technique, said, "You idiot, where did you learn that technique?"

Menma turned to Sasuke and smiled, "That's the original jutsu of my father. He taught me a few weeks ago. He was surprised at how quickly I mastered it. But it was thanks to the shadow clones that I managed to learn it so fast."

Sasuke nodded. He knew the power of his father, in addition to the difficulty of his techniques. If Menma did something like that, then it was somewhat surprising. He then returned the smile and continued, "Heh, don't think that I haven't been training. From now on, I'll fight seriously." Then he closed his eyes for a moment before opening them.

Menma after seeing this gaped, "Sasuke, you..." Sasuke just smiled and was ready for anything. Haku could see that Sasuke's eyes had changed; now instead of being black they were red with two tomoe on one side and one in the other. Those eyes reminded of Naruto's eyes.

Meanwhile, Kakashi continued his fight; he didn't seem to be in trouble yet. Zabuza had managed to cut him a little, but he was aiming for that.

Naruto was also surprised; it seemed that the survivor of his massacre was progressing. He just kept looking around without anyone noticing his presence.

Meanwhile, in the dome, Haku was having problems since Menma kept sending more and more shadow clones, some of them with the Rasengan while Sasuke threw some fireballs.

She then decided to end this at once. She focused on Menma, who was giving her more problems. Thus, she began to throw him a rain of Senbons, which all hit the target.

Sasuke was surprised but also worried about Menma because after all this time, they had begun to talk, and even began to be friends. He could see with his Sharingan that the masked enemy was still throwing senbon at Menma.

He didn't hesitate and quickly pushed Menma out of the way, and Menma seemed paralyzed by the senbon in his legs, which Sasuke was also starting to feel.

Haku, who was feeling her chakra depleting, refocused on Menma, but this time, to lay a trap to Sasuke because he was already reading her movements.

She came out of one of her mirrors, and frantically, she went directly towards Menma, who was behind Sasuke.

Sasuke could see through her actions, but he didn't have the time of pulling Menma away from there. Therefore, he did the only thing that he could do in that situation.

After a few seconds, Menma opened his eyes; he had lost his consciousness for a few moments, but he had already recovered it. Then he saw something that made him smile. The masked enemy was lying on the ground, so he thought that Sasuke defeated him.

So he was about to congratulate him when he realized that Sasuke was standing right in front of him, with several Senbons around his body. His happy face instantly changed to one of concern.

Sasuke turned his head slightly towards Menma and said while giving a half-smile, "Look at you *argh * you idiot."

Menma didn't see anything funny about that and asked as he stood up, "Why?! Why did you protect me?"

Sasuke smiled again and replied, "Who... knows..." Sasuke then started to remember his childhood days with Menma and how they had fun playing pranks, as well as the training and missions that he had with him as a Gennin.

Sasuke then stumbled a bit, "I... I told myself that I would never be your friend again. I tried to hate you."

Menma got up and questioned, "Then why? Why did you protect me?" Menma clenched his fists and shouted, "I didn't ask you to!"

Then a small tear came out of Sasuke's eye, who whispered as his voice grew weaker and weaker, "Who knows, my body moved on its own, you idiot." He then began to fall.

However, Menma quickly caught him. Once he had him in his arms, he shouted, "Sasuke!"

Sasuke gave a sad smile as he looked at Menma, "That man... I didn't want to die until I had killed the man who exterminated my clan." Then he looked at Menma, weakly raised his hand, and stated, "Menma, don't die."

Then Sasuke's arm fell heavily. Menma went completely blank, as he gave a hug to Sasuke's body.

Haku rose up from the ground, as she walked to one of her mirrors. She then asked, "Is this the first time you saw a comrade dying in battle? That is the way of the ninja." Then she entered into one of the mirrors

"Shut up! Me too, I tried it, but I couldn't… I always saw you as my friend," he said as he put Sasuke's body on the ground: then a steam surrounded him.

In the distance, Naruto squinted while Kurama growled, "That brat is trying to use my power; it's unacceptable!"

Naruto, who heard this, mentally replied, "Don't worry about that. Someday, I'll recover what belongs to you, that and much more."

Kurama nodded and said nothing more. Meanwhile, Naruto took something out of his ninja bag as he began to do something.

Inside the dome, Menma spoke again. "You will pay for this..." Then the steam became denser. And then Haku saw something that left her in shock. She could see Menma's chakra very clearly, which was red and quite gloomy.

Naruto OST - Need to be Strong

"I'm going to kill you!" Haku got frightened, and she thought, "What is this chakra? It's taking shape, and what an awful chakra."

Then she noticed that Menma's wounds began to heal quickly, as his features began to change. Seeing him like that, she could only think of Naruto, but a bit wilder.

She then understood what was going on. This kid was a Jinchūriki, and he was using the power of his Bijū.

Then Menma turned to Haku, and she was surprised to see those eyes, they were identical to Naruto's. But she was also surprised to see the hate and anger in them.

Meanwhile, Kakashi and Zabuza stopped when they felt the demonic aura; instantly Kakashi thought "Naruto? No, he's not here. Who can it be?" Then he turned a little to see the dome and he understood it, "No, no way. Menma? Does he? But how is it possible?"

Zabuza was also very disturbed to feel this chakra, and he didn't know where it came from. Just then, he heard Kakashi's voice, "Can you hear me, Zabuza? I think we've had enough fun. What do you say if we end this?"

Zabuza chuckled from his place and replied, "Interesting. What can you do in this situation? Show me, Kakashi."

Meanwhile, inside the dome, Haku was having problems. Although she attacked Menma, he didn't seem to be affected by her attacks. Besides, his speed had increased considerably, and she had spent most of her chakra with the mirrors, which Menma started to destroy with his fists.

She then saw an opening and jumped towards Menma, who rolled in the air and dodged her attack. She tried to return into one of her mirrors, but she realized that Menma had already caught her. She was surprised, and even more when she felt his chakra near her.

Haku noticed that he was preparing a mighty blow. Therefore, she prepared herself to take the hit. Nevertheless, a small glowing ball appeared right in front of them. That called Menma's attention, so he directly looked at it, which was a big mistake.

The little glowing ball then opened itself, revealing a paper with the kanji 'suppress,' which made Menma instantly lose his chakra and forces, becoming unconscious.

Haku didn't know what was happening, but she could only thank the person who had helped her.

Haku then heard a voice, and she opened her eyes, "Tired, Haku-chan?"

Haku turned around to see a smiling Naruto. She ran to him and hugged him, "How long have you been here?" She asked.

Naruto took off her mask and replied, "Long enough to see him lose his temper. But tell me, the little princess isn't dead, is he? I can still feel chakra in him."

Haku shook her head, still hugged to Naruto, and replied, "No, I didn't kill him. I saw no need to do it."

Naruto smiled and gave a little kiss on her lips. She blushed at the feel of it, but it didn't last as long for her liking, but she didn't complain.

She then heard Naruto talking again, "Haku-chan, it's time." Haku nodded and followed Naruto.

After walking for a while, they noticed that the mist was already dissipating, and then Haku looked forward and thought. "Now I'll live my life. Rest in peace, Zabuza-sama."

She then saw Kakashi pulling his hand out from the chest of Zabuza, who had several dogs—that were holding him— over his body.

Kakashi sighed when he thought it was over. But then he saw Haku with Naruto and ordered, "Naruto! Explain what you are doing with the enemy!"

Naruto frowned at that and replied, "She's not the enemy. And she's with me because she'll return with us to the village."

Kakashi did not like this, "We can't; she's the enemy! Besides, where are Sasuke and Menma?"

Naruto growled and replied, "I don't give a fuck what you say! You're not my Jounin-sensei. Anko-chan." He called and in that instant, Anko appeared beside him,

"Can we take her with us back to the village?" She smiled and continued, "Oh, and what will happen if I say no?"

Naruto pouted, and Anko understood it, so she said, "Okay, okay. Yeah, she can come with us. But, don't tell me that she?" Naruto nodded, and Anko gave a gentle nudge in Naruto's ribs, while she said, "You really work fast, Naruto-kun." She stated, giggling.

Kakashi also appeared beside him and sighed, "It seems that I can no longer say anything. But tell me, where are Menma and Sasuke?"

Naruto shrugged and pointed backward with his thumb. Kakashi looked in that direction and saw something that alarmed him. But before he could say anything else, Naruto spoke again, "Don't worry; those bastards are still alive. They're just unconscious. And before you start asking me stupid questions, the demonic power wasn't from me; it was from Hime-sama."

Kakashi became shocked at that statement, but before he could ask questions, everyone heard a scream, and they could see a pink flash running in that direction. "Sasuke-kun!" Naruto shook his head but said nothing. Kakashi didn't either since he was still surprised by what he just heard.

Then all those present heard someone hitting the ground with a cane. Everyone looked to the side of the bridge, and they could see Gatō and dozens of men along with him, "Oooh, it seems that you have killed that bastard. Hehehe; you've saved me a lot of money."

Naruto instantly recognized that voice, "And that bitch apparently is still alive. Well, well, I can personally take revenge for what she did to me." He held up his bandaged hand. "I'm sorry, but all of you will die here," Gatō stated.

Everyone got into a battle stance, but Naruto stepped forward, "Hold on, I'll handle this." Kakashi was about to say that he didn't have to do anything, but Naruto gave him a look which said he wouldn't accept objections.

Kakashi sighed and said, "Okay, do what you have to do."

Naruto then turned around and looked at Anko and Haku, "Don't worry, I'll return in a moment." He said before walking towards Gatō's place.

Gatō watched Naruto approaching from the distance. For some strange reason, he was someone very familiar to him, and something told him that it wasn't good. However, he chose to ignore that.

He then saw Naruto right in front of him, with crossed arms and closed eyes. Gatō smiled arrogantly and asked, "He! What do you want, punk? Do you want to join me?"

But then Naruto opened his eyes, and the next thing he said made him quite pale, "Dwarf, I'm back." Then he grabbed a pale Gatō and used a Shunshin to appear away from everyone.

Gatō's men became alarmed, and they were about to go to his rescue when they heard him shouting, "Stop! Stay in your places!" They instantly stopped and waited for him in case he required help.

In the distance, Haku and the others watched this with curiosity; they didn't know what Naruto was trying to do.

Gatō had recognized that voice, and especially those red eyes. Therefore, he shakily asked, "Na-Naruto-sama? W-what are you doing here? Forgive me for what I said a moment ago but I didn't know you were here. I haven't seen you for four years." He tried to bow, but Naruto stopped him and said, "What do you think you're doing, you stupid? Don't bow to me in front of so many people. You're an idiot. Tell me, did I command you to come to this place?"

Gatō shook his head, and Naruto continued, "You know what it means to disobey me, don't you? You knew what would happen to you if you disobeyed me."

Gatō became even paler, and he tried to bow again, but he remembered Naruto's words, so he pleaded, "Na-Naruto-sama, please forgive me. I didn't know what to do; you disappeared for four years, and l stopped hearing from you. I was just trying to continue the business." He was becoming increasingly fearful.

Naruto stated, "Hmm, it could be, but I told you on several occasions that you might stop hearing from me for a while. I thought you would understand those words; I didn't see the need to explain them to you. But fine, I'll let this disobedience pass for now. But listen to me, the next time you disobey me, I will take away the other half of your soul. Got it?"

Gatō sighed with relief and then responded with obedience, "Hai, Naruto-sama, it won't happen again."

Naruto looked at him and added, "I hope so, remember that I can take it away whenever I feel like. I had to do it when I heard that you were in this place. Anyway, I want you to 'retire' from this location, but what I really want you to do is that you bring the base of operations here. I want that you command to build a base in this direction, but without anyone knowing that you're the one who's doing this." Then Naruto gave him a paper with the coordinates.

Gatō quickly took the paper and then nodded. Naruto spoke again, "Very well, the next thing I'll do is throw you off the bridge, and then I'll kill all the idiots that you've hired. A friend of mine will make sure that you don't die when you fall. It'll take you away from here and then I want you to come back to do what I said, and I never want to hear from you in this place again. If that does happen, you know what it means. Now get ready."

Gatō freaked out when he said he would throw him off the bridge, but then he sighed in relief when Naruto said that someone would help him. He then saw Naruto doing some hand seals and putting his hand on the ground.

Gatō saw a tiny chameleon that started climbing on his clothes before hiding itself in a pocket. Then he realized that Naruto grabbed him and threw him with great forces towards the horizon.

When he was far away from the bridge, he noticed that the chameleon grew considerably in size; then it put him in its mouth, which made him terrified throughout the trip.

Naruto then wiped his hands and returned to Haku and the others who looked at him with surprise. Then he said, "That dwarf is no longer a problem."

Everyone nodded until Gatō's men yelled in rage, "Oi, Oi, Oi. You damn brat! You just killed our boss; now we don't have anyone to pay us." Then one of them shouted, "Now we have to attack the village and steal everything that has value." The rest of Gatō's men nodded at this.

Kakashi then declared, "This isn't good..." Naruto sighed and answered, "It's not good for you, I can wipe out all those idiots with a single move, and I think I'll do it now, don't bother."

Menma and Sasuke had awakened already, but they didn't see Haku yet since they were further back.

Then one of the men shouted, "Come on!" and then everyone went on the attack.

Naruto started doing some hand seals but stopped when he saw an arrow falling right in the way of the men. Everyone looked back.

Suddenly, they heard a voice, "Anyone who approaches this island, will die by its defenders!" Then they heard several shouts of affirmation. Naruto concluded that the villagers decided to do something at last.

Naruto then heard Tsunami shouting, "Naruto-kun!" and then he looked at Inari, "Heh, it's like as you said. The weak people can become strong! We're here to help you, Oto-san!"

Naruto almost fell backward when hearing that; didn't he tell him to stop calling him that?

Kakashi and the others also were surprised, but they said nothing, except for Tazuna, who began to shed some tears, "Inari ... All of you."

Gatō's men when seeing so many people got scared. So they decided to escape. Nonetheless, the villagers wouldn't allow that and decided to follow them.

Naruto noticed this and made a sign for them to stop, so they did and looked what he had planned. Naruto made a few hand seals and shouted, "Doton: Doryūdan (Earth Release: Earth Dragon)" Instantly, a large Earth Dragon emerged from the ground of the bridge.

Naruto didn't put much chakra in it, not wanting to damage the bridge, so he just charged enough chakra to kill that bunch of people.

The dragon moved quickly toward the mercenaries, who could do little to escape. They received the attack, and all died on the spot. Some of them were pushed off the bridge while it crushed others.

All the villagers were surprised, but Inari brought them out of their shock when he shouted, "Oto-san is great! We did it!" Then everyone burst into cheers.

Naruto shook his head. Apparently, he would have to get used to it; then he approached the others, just to see a very unpleasant scene. Menma and Sasuke seemed about to attack Haku. But Anko and Kakashi were stopping them. "Sasuke, calm down. She is no longer the enemy; she will return with us to the village,"

Sasuke growled, "I don't care! She attacked me, so she has to be treated as the criminal that she is."

Naruto then decided to speak, "Teme-chan, if you don't like the fact that Haku-chan's going to return with us, then you can say it to me. But remember, if I don't like your wording, I'll have to teach you good manners again." He stated as he cracked his knuckles.

Sasuke glared at him, but he only said, "Hmph" and nothing more. Menma wasn't angry. She didn't kill Sasuke, so there was no reason to get mad at her. Also, he didn't want to bother Naruto. Hence, he said nothing more.

After that, some people stayed to clean the bridge while Tazuna and the rest returned home to rest.

Four days later

Four days had passed from the day when Naruto had 'killed' Gatō and his henchmen. Everyone in the village seemed to be happy because now they could thrive and have peaceful lives.

Currently, Naruto and the other ninjas of Konoha were on the already finished bridge along with a big crowd that was there to see them off.

Right in the front of the crowd was Tazuna along with his family. Then Tazuna talked, "We have completed the bridge thanks to you, but now we will lose you."

Naruto at this replied, "Don't worry, old man. I'll be back to visit you, especially to Tsunami-chan." The truth was that Naruto would return quite often in the not too distant future, but he didn't have to say that yet.

Inari at those words began to tremble, trying not to cry, "Do you promise, Oto-san?"

Naruto got already used to it. However, in those four days, he had tried to make him stop calling him that. Unfortunately, it seemed that he wouldn't.

Naruto smiled and replied, "Of course. Do you think I'll leave your mother just like that? As for you, Tsunami-chan, once I'm back, we'll catch up." Most people from the crowd could understand what he meant, so a lot of them blushed while others began to whistle.

Tsunami just nodded; she knew that Naruto would return soon, but she didn't know the reason. After that, Tsunami saw them leaving.

She was a little sad because Naruto left, but if what Anko said was true—that he always kept his promises—then there was no reason to worry about.

When Tazuna saw that they were far away, he spoke, "Naruto managed to change the heart of Inari and Inari changed the hearts of the villagers. Heh, it seems that he will be a good son-in-law after all. Hahaha." Many also laughed with him.

"And how will we call the bridge?" Asked one guy in the crowd, "How about 'Naruto Ōhashi (The Great Naruto Bridge)," another one contributed.

Tsunami smiled and replied, "It's a good name."

Meanwhile, Naruto and the others were walking quietly towards the village. Naruto now would have to convince his father to make Haku a Kunoichi of the village, and besides that, he had to get that mission from Danzō and the scroll for Neji. He would certainly be very busy.

Haku followed Naruto and Anko in silence. She was excited to have a normal life for Shinobi standards, and besides that, she found a man who treated her like the woman she was.

Kakashi was thinking about what happened on the bridge, and everything revolved around Menma. He would definitely have a talk to his sensei when they arrived.

The others just wanted to go back to the village and get some rest. Then they continued walking in silence towards Konohagakure.

Notes:

There's not much to be said in this chapter.

You'll see the history between Gato and Naruto in a few chapters. It's something tremendous.

And finally, even though I didn't write it, Haku now owns Zabuza's sword.

That should be all.

Goodbye.
