Greer123: Oh I see now, thanks for the clarification

Guest: Um, no. The maidens are not Ozma's kids, they died many years ago. Their just girls that help Ozma and he gave them magic.

Guest: It is something that I have thought over since watching the show

Guest: Thanks

C: Thanks

SithLordNilis: Well here it is


Sasuke and Haku fought each other as nether were fast enough to gain the upper hand. Kakashi and Zabuza looked on as they waited to see which one let go first.

Their kunai clashed as they struggled to force the other to let go of theirs.

"I don't want to kill you but ... you don't seem like you will go quietly away will you?" Haku asked

"No way" he scoffed

"Just as I thought ... however you won't be able to match my speed for long ... and I have laid the groundworks for two attacks" he explained.

"Two attacks?"

"First there is the water that is on the bridge. Secondly I have locked your hand with mine which means you won't be able to use any jutsus and to defend from my next attacks" Haku started going through one handed seals as team seven were shocked. To pull such an advance skill out of nowhere.

"Water Style: Thousand Needles Jutsu" The water transformed into hundreds of needles as they converged to sasuke. The water splash and as it went away sasuke was nowhere to be seen. Haku looked around for him while moving back. Right to feel sasuke's kunai on the back of his neck.

"Your not that fast after all. Guess now you have to defend my attacks" Sasuke attacked haku who dodged out of the way of the initial attacks but left himself open for a kick across the face as blood came out and threw him to zabuza's feet. The missing nin looked surprised that a genin was able to beat haku and be faster then he was.

"You had that coming for underestimating our shinobi. You forget sasuke here was considered rookie of the year, the most talented ninja of his generation. Sakura is the brains of the group. And Naruto Uzumaki, the greatest mystery yet to be solved" said Kakashi.

Instead of being worried the man started to chuckle as the air around became cold "Hehe, Haku if you keep trying to hold back your going to die to this runt, the same one you wanted to spare. Show him what you got"

"Yes Zabuza, I understand" Haku started to go through a dozen seals as the water behind and around sasuke rose. And in a instant they all forze into ice mirrors "Ice Style: Demonic Mirror Jutsu" and he entered into the mirrors.

"Ice style? What kind of technique it that? No it's not any kiri attack nor does it sound like an advanced release ... no wait!? Dammit it must be a bloodline release! I have to get sasuke out of their now" panicked kakashi raced to save his student before Zabuza stepped in the way.

"Awe and what about me kakashi? We still haven't finished out battle yet" said zabuza.

"Now sasuke uchiha, let me show you the my power. And what true speed is" Haku vanished form the mirrors as sasuke's were torn and some shredded his skin. He cried out in pain as everyone looked with horror unable to do anything thanks to zabuza.

...

"Tazuna sir, I'm sorry but I may have to leave you for a bit. Just for a little bit" Sakura eye's hardened as she saw her crush nearly killed by the other ninja. Tazuna saw the look and nodded. Sakura grabbed a kunai and threw it as hard at the mirrors.

Haku grabbed the kunai

"Your teammate shows bravery for risking my masters wrath to stop me. But in the end it was not—What is that ... it that someone running?"

Everyone on the bridge to heard someone running and it was getting closer. Before Kakashi or Zabuza could see something green passed by them and Haku's mirror was encased in a bright green light.

BOOMMMMM

Haku was thrown to the ground as the smoke cleared. His mirrors were shattered by some kind of force, the smoke and debri slowly died down.

To show a smirking naruto over Sasuke.

"Sorry I took so long, guess you can say I got lost in the road of life" his eyes returned from gold to blue before anyone saw "You look worse for wear there sasuke. New fashion statement too?"

"Shut up ... and help me up" he pulled the uchiha heir up "Thanks, we need to be careful with that guy. He can use some kind of ice style and it very good at water style. I'm not sure how much I can help jutsu wise, he's the perfect counter to me. Oh, what was that giant explosion?"

"Explosive tags, got one left. You?"

"Two, really should have packed more"

Zabuza threw shurikens at the duo, before they were blocked by senbons from haku.

"Haku ... what are you doing!?"

"Please master, let me fight these genin. I want to fight them all in my own way" Haki requested. The missing nin looked annoyed but after thinking on it gave his permission. Haku charged at Sakura as Kakashi and Zabuza went towards the river. The pink haired girl froze as Naruto appeared before her, blocking the move.

Sasuke came behind and forced the Haku away "Oi, Tazuna get somewhere safe, he's after us"

"I'm lucky that naruto came just in time. That guy is tearing me into ribbons, doing superficial wounds that slowly build up more and more, just my luck. But I can't figured out how he is moving through the mirrors. All of his clones hide and strike at the same time, he's so fast that I can't even see where he is throwing his weapons. Naruto may be our best way to break the mirrors but there is so much he can do and add Sakura to the mix ..."

"Hey you two, get ready we need to think of a plan to beat him" sasuke warned.

"Any ideas?" asked Sakura.

"His clones all attack at once and he is really fast, faster then any of us. Also none of my fire jutsus are going to work and we only have three explosive tags with us ... unless you ..." she shook her head "never mind then. I think the only one who has a good jutsu is naruto with that earth clone jutsu."

The girl cupped her chin, thinking of something to do "... Naruto, how many clones can you make?"

"Around ... the two digits, maybe three if I use everything"

"Ok ... Naruto create as many clones as you can and have them henge into us. Same goes for us, if we can keep him busy thinking whoses which he'll have to slip eventually" said Sakura. It wasn't best plan but it was the one they had to work with.

"Got it" Dozens of earth clones were made as Sasuke & Sakura threw their smoke bombs and followed suit. The smoke cleared to show hundreds of clones of team seven. Haku moved back as he eyed all of them.

"... I find it difficult to embrace the shinobi world and it's belief" Haku started "I can't help but prefer that I don't need to kill the three of you. However, if you are dedicated to ending my life than I must kill my heart. I will embrace the shinobi way if it means to allow my masters dreams come true. This bridge is a nexus of our destines, on the edge our futures lay ... so which dream will survive this crucible?" said Haku.

"Let's see masked shinobi!" Naruto yelled. His clones followed after him and the others. Seeing his students fight kakashi too fought and began their second battle with zabuza.

Haku was fast, real fast that Ozpin even admitted it. Whenever they got to close to him he would create a mirror or use water jutsus to keep them at bay. A few of his clones were gone but the pressure from all three meant haku could not focus on Tazuna. Using some of his aura he charged at the haku as they fought each other.

He landed two jabs while Haku's senbons bounced off of him. A wide swing from him forced haku to duck and left him open for a haymaker from Sakura throwing him to the ground as his mask cracked. Sasuke came in next and threw his shuriken that forced haku to move further back

"This is not good, I don't have much chakra to spare at this rate. If I don't find the real ones then I will fail master zabuza" He began the seals "This attack has to work."

"Ice Style: Thousand Needle Jutsu" All the water on the bridge froze and shattered into hundreds of splinters. They floated around haku before he threw them at every clones on the bridge. In an instant all of sasuke and sakura clones were destroyed, Naruto's clones survived thanks to aura but where heavily damaged from the attack. But not all of the needles were to the clones, a portion was aimed straight at Tazuna.

Sakura was the closest one Tazuna, she threw her body to protect him

Sasuke knew she could not survive that, maybe kakashi could save her but ... but she could die. He needed to kill the masked nin, tazuna would be safe with sakura ... and yet sakura was being more brave then her, risking her life to protect someone while he could do nothing right now. She was an annoying fangirl and he should not care what would happen, but ...

He moved

Naruto watched ... and pulled the handle on The Long Memory

...

...

...

THUNNK THIUUUINNKK THUNK THUNK

Sakura expected to feel pain and a lot of it, but yet she could not feel anything unless she was already dead. That would suck, if she hadn't smelled Tazuna's breath or felt the coldness. Turning around it was ... sasuke! The heir opened his eyes to see sakura unharmed but neither was he, like sakura he turned back to see Naruto's back behind both of them.

A few senbon were sticking out of his arms and shoulders but he was standing.

"Kids these days ... what is it with you and trying to kill yourself" Sasuke and Sakura were confused by their teammates statement. Naruto turned back to see them.

Sakura gasped

And Sasuke looked scared

Naruto's torso and arms with littered with ice needles and his cone had frostbite on it.

"Hm? Oh don't look so surprised it's uh ... just a flesh wound" he stumbled a bit "I'm okay, really. Just uh need a little break"

Sakura caught her teammate as she could barely understand his mutterings. Something about coffee ... chakra ... and aura? Laying him down she saw that most of the senbons were on his limbs and less so on the torso. Before she took them out Naruto raised his cane and just barely tapped it'd on sasuke's chest.

He suddenly felt a rush of chakra through him and the feelings of exception, judgement, and hope. His chakra coils were back to full strength.

"Everything's up to you Sasuke, don't disappoint us" said Naruto. Sakura began helping her teammate. Naruto had given what little chakra and clones to sasuke, he wanted him to finish the job. He trusted him to do it, swallowing the spit in his mouth he looked back Haku. No, he could not lose here his teammates risked their lives already and now it was his turn to see it through.

"What that your best idea?" Ozpin asked

"Maybe not, but I want to see what he can do. Maybe we can even bring Sasuke into our circle and maybe even Sakura. I can't do this by myself" He need help. Like in remnant he to need a circle of people he could trust to help him guide humanity. Ozpin started his circle with his teammate Glynda and slowly brought in more people over time as every incarnation.

Besides, if sasuke could not handle this then he would use his semblance.

Haku raised his senbon and threw them but this time he dodged them. He gasped when he saw Sasuke appear close to him but this time his eyes were different, he had awakened his sharingan thanks to naruto. It like like seeing a movie but every action had another copy that was ahead, but even if he could see his body couldn't keep up with all of them.

But it least he could avoid the worst.

Dodging out of the way he grabbed the masked nins wrist and with a health application of chakra broke it. Another plam to the chin disoriented him and kick to the face cracked the mask. Pieces of it fell as they saw the missing nin stood up. It was Haku.

"Haku!?" Naruto stood and ignored Sakura's orders. He glared at Sasuke and shook his head "Let me handle this"

"Why did you stop your teammate from killing me? Mercy is a luxury we shinobi can not afford, end my life naruto and go save your sensei. Master Zabuza has no care for weak shinobi, you have taken away my reason for existence" said Haku with a resigned smilie.

Team seven look disturbed by haku speech, Ozpin watched with sadness to many times he has seen this.

"Why ... why work for a man who would throw you away, that kills innocent people, and doesn't care for anyone but money!?" Naruto growled "How Haku, how is someone like that your precious person, he doesn't care for you. Listen to me please!"

...

"Once I was loved by my own parents. I was born in a small village and my family had loved dearly, it was happy life. Until one day, my father had killed my mother and had tried to kill me ..." said Haku.

Naruto widened his eyes, Sakura gasped, and Sasuke clenched his fist.

"... In kiri my lands were trapped in a war against those that carry bloodlines like my own. They thought we were demons wearing human skin or worse. Our kage was committing a genocide and my village was one of those who supported his ideas. When my father learned of this I was forced to kill him with bloodline. From there on out I was unwanted, unloved, and hated by everyone. Until Zabuza came, even though he knew of my bloodline he still took me in and told me of his dream. From there are on out I became a vessel for his goals ... and now I failed" Haku explained.

"Haku ... please we can help you, let us ... I don't want another life like yours to die" Naruto begged the boy.

"If you want to help then please, end my life it is all I want" Haku requested

Naruto stayed still, after a few seconds he dipped his head

"This world could use a person like you ... sometimes it can lonely for someone like me" He walked to Haku and raised his cane it started to glow green.

"Thank you" the ice user watched as his, friend, came to put his life down. The day he saw his eyes he knew something was different, he was old, very old so tired. But yet this ... man could not stop, something was pushing him along. He only prayed that whoever naruto was that he could finish his goals.

He tried to look to his master as the mist cleared just enough to see him

The cane stopped as naruto look surprised "I'm sorry, but I can't die yet" and he vanished.

SSRRUTTCH

...

The mist started roll back

Enough to see Kakashi sensei's hand through haku's heart

"He jumped in the way to save his life" thought kakashi

"Heheh, that was brilliant haku" Zabuza swung his blade at kakashi "To think that little runt would become so useful before he did. I really did find a great tool!"

Kakashi appeared a few meters away from Zabuza as he pulled out his hand. He looked at the calm face on haku, resigned he close the boys eyes and laid him down "All of you stay out of this, this is my fight now"

Before Zabuza could react Kakashi slammed into his gut and took them both away from Haku corpse. Zabuza tried to fight kakashi but the man was too weak from before and the jonin easy tore through the missing nin. He tried to attack him but was slapped aside, kakashi appeared by him and in a flash shattered his arms

"Now there's no way for you to beat me. I've broken your arms so no more jutsus or your sword, It's over Zabuza" said Kakashi

"And your damn right about that" said another voice. Coming out of the mist was gato and a large army of bandits following him

"What the hell is this gato!?" Zabuza demanded

"Simple there's been a change in the plan Zabuza—This was my real plan after all. Your going to die 'demon' and so are you leaf nin" Gato declared

"What?"

"You already can guess I never wanted to pay you in the first place. You see during my life I learned that there was an easier way to hire shinobi like you. Why bother paying them when they can fight it out with enemies and when both are weak send my boys to take care of them, it's a very efficient process and keeps my wallet nice and fat" The kingpin explained.

"If I had one regret during this was hiring you. I thought you were the demon of the mist but after all of this ... your nothing but a baby demon!" he and his men laughed. The crowd of bandits all cried out all wanting a piece of the so called demon. Naruto looked worry as did his teammates, he already expended all his chakra and he may need to reveal his aura.

"Kakashi, I'm done trying to kill that old man. Our difference is settled, right now all I want to do is rip that pig in two" Kakashi agreed as team seven looked confused. Getting up the two jonin readied to take the on the bandit army.

"Heh, look at you" Gato kicked Haku's corpse "What a waste of money, I only wish you were alive to see your 'master' die."

Naruto gripped his cane and began to march.

"Naruto, wait. Calm down you can't handle that many people" Kakashi said.

"Well what about you!? Are you going to let them disgrace Haku's corpse like that? He loved and cared for you, you were the most important thing to him!" Naruto shouted at Zabuza

The man scoffed "And why should I? Haku is dead"

"Because you and Haku have been together, don't you have any sort of love for him" The blonde demanded. He could feel something anger as wisps of red chakra emerged. Even kakashi sensei looked worried, it was the kyuubi, both of them could feel.

"Shut up kid, Haku's already dead… As I was used by Gatō, I used Haku. That was all. I've said it already… in the world of shinobi, there are only those who use and those whom are used. We shinobi are simply tools.. what I wanted was his blood, not him.. I have no regrets"

"... He loved you, he really loved you all of his heart. Even though he was a tool to you he had more love and emotion then you ever did. Do you truly have no love for him, the one you took in regardless of his heritage. He told me of his past and how you saved him ... you could have died if people learned of haku and yet you risked it all to care for him. You should have cherished that love, not everyone gets a second chance or more to live ... and those moments of despair people like haku are the strength that give life meaning.

He never had a dream, you never allowed him to have a dream but he was still happy if it meant yours was accomplished. And you tossed him aside as if he was nothing.

If the shinobi world you speak if one that such strength is discarded then I will change it. I will never become that shinobi nor accept such a world. If it takes me a decade, century, or even a millennium I will change this world. It will be world were people like haku exist everywhere ... and one where people like you don't" said Naruto.

...

...

...

"Your words are deep, they cut deeper then any blade" Naruto saw tears fall from Zabuza, he was crying "While he fought you his heart was breaking in two. You see Haku was always to soft and to kind, he felt pain and sorrow and curse I now feel them too. But at the same time I feel glad, that this was how it was suppose to end."

He started to chew on his bandages and took them off

"Heh, cat got your tongue? We shinobi are human too you know, no matter how hard we try escape that fact. Naruto ... that dream of yours ... see it through to the very end and never give in" Zabuza begged.

"Now give me your kunai"

Naruto understood, wiping his tears he grabbed one but stopped "Kyuubi, I don't if you are listening but I felt your chakra ... give me some of it this Zabuza's last battle, let give me the right ending" orange chakra seeped out and started to wrap around the kunai. He tossed it to him.

Grabbing it he charged.

Gato panicked and ordered his men to kill him.

The bandits roared before he tore through them. Slicing through those that stood the chakra of the kyuubi animated and keep the bandits from killing him and instead help killed even more. He tore past them and to the panicking Gato, he ignored the mans pleas and stabbed the kunai in. Gato faced turned shocked as blood started to come out of his body, his chakra being burned from the toxic power.

A few seconds later dozens of swords were stabbed behind him, not that it matter to the missing nin. They watched as Zabuza said something to gato before he plummeted into the river, dead. Turning back the bandits were scared and further made worse when the villagers came plus Kakashi's clones. Seeing that others died they ran as the everyone cheered.

Kakashi and Naruto walked over to Zabuza, he was dying to much blood was coming out but the man looked content.

"Kakashi, Naruto, do me a favor ... let me see Haku one more time ... please"

"Yeah ... we will" he shut off his sharingan and together they carried him to Haku. Looking up it starting to snow

Zabuza slowly brought his hand to Haku's corpse ... no, to his son's body "You were at my side from the very start and now I am at yours in the end. If I could ... If I were able to ... I would want to go to ... the same place with you on the other side ... my son"

Zabuza closed his eyes as he finally left this world

...

...

...

"He was born in a small village were snow was common, fitting isn't it? A pure person like Haku, true and clean like the snow. A fitting death" Naruto whispered.

"It is ... It is"


Two more weeks passed. The bridge was finally finished and team seven had fully rested from their battle. During this time the villagers had raided gato's mansion in hopes getting their stolen wealth back. When they broke through most of it was gone, but there was enough laying around to pay for the mission as well enough to help jump start the village back. Kakashi looked around more and found documents, no doubt about his business, all gone.

Somebody had arrived before them and took nearly everything.

During this time team seven also began their water walking lessons, something that kakashi felt they were ready. During this time Kakashi & Naruto had discussed about the kyuubi and after some arguing agreed to discuss more about it when they got back. They soon were able to accomplish it, which left them were they were.

Giving their respects to Zabuza and Haku.

Two small cross were next side to side. Zabuza's blade was buried underneath him as his and Haku's corpses were burned to ashes to prevent anything coming after their secrets. They watched as Sakura gave the last offerings.

...

"Sensei ... I want to talk about what Zabuza said, about us being tools for our village. Was he right when he said that" Sakura asked.

"Technically they were, a shinobi is nothing more then a tool for their nation and should never care for themselves. That also applies to other ninja back in konoha too" said Kakashi.

"You only said technically" Sasuke pointed out

"True, I personally do not think so. Shinobi are humans like anyone else, we have fears, love, and other emotions: It is something that is always under the surface and many shinobi face" said Kakashi "If someone to truly give up those emotions ... then I can only mourn for them. However, I am interested in something else. Naruto, about what you said to Zabuza, do you mean it?" said Kakashi.

Both Sasuke & Sakura looked interested.

They heard their mysterious teammates speech and wondered if he meant what he said.

Naruto slipped his coffee

"I do, this world we live in is cruel and unfair. If we are to stay in this world then humanity will destroy themselves or worse. However, I do believe this world can be redeemed, I think that if people can understand one another a better world can be born. If I can plant the seeds of this world and intrust it to others then that's what I'll do"

Kakashi smiled while his teammates were surprised by his maturity.

After that they began packing and started their journey back home. Inari was crying at them leaving but naruto assured them they will come back one day. Giving their last goodbyes they headed back to Konoha.

Still in the wave nation a shadow clone of Naruto was near to the village. He was close to the river that lead to the bridge named after him. Opening his palm a dark green portal was created.

He reached in and pulled out a crystal the size of his palm.

It shined in a multitude of colors ranging from purple and red all the way to blue and green.

It was dust

He dropped it into the shore of the river as it started glowed ... and it pushed itself deeper into the ground

"This is last gift to the people of the wave, future generations shall prosper and a new bulwark against Salem is born"

"You know Ozpin, I realized something. I don't think I'd ever remember the last time we got drunk" said naruto.

"As yes, drinking. Admittedly I have not done that in the last few centuries, at least willingly. I have found drinking to be not that good at dulling the pain of immortality. Plus, I have a rather loose mouth after drinking too much" the immortal explained.

"Come on Oz, I doubt that will happen now. I mean ain't I jinchuriki of the kyuubi. I think the fox can take care of that" Naruto waved off Ozpin, he eyed the fancy bottles of drinks they took from Gato.

"This won't go well ..." Ozpin watched as the naruto started to take the first sip

"—And don't get me started with team RWBY! ARH, just thinking of those girls make my head hurt. Look at Blake.

Oh look at me I'm a faunus that has been oppressed even though I am the princess of all faunus. Seriously, does she even have a life outside of fighting the white fang or even getting frisky whenever they are even mentioned? And if that doesn't help the damn girl thinks that only she and she alone can fight off the fang by herself. Does she not realize that their are people whose job is to deal with terrorist!?

If was not that bad then her partner was worse. Yang, oh that women makes me want to either bash her skull in or wonder why Raven never aborted her. She's a walking insurance nightmare! Is it possible for that women to learn not to punch everyone who accidentally touches your hair!? The medical and legal bills we have to pay do NOT come cheap.

Then we have little miss perfect Schnee. At first she was fine if not a bit snooty, but then after the first few weeks she became nearly infurrable. From being basking in her own smarts all the way to calling salt sodium chloride! Who in the world calls salt that and not expect people to not punch them!?

And finally we have Miss Rose. Now for all purposes she is sweet enough girl ... if it wasn't for her actions. Half the time I think she must believe herself as some kind of superhero. I can't tell you all the actions she had lead to her team, does she not know that her actions has consequences or that someone has to write all the paperwork on why their is a huntresses destroying one the highways?!

Because let me tell you those are an absolute bitch, regardless of what era. On top of that I have to deal with my own people too.

On one hand I have Qrow and his antagonism to his semblance. And yes Qrow, I think EVERYONE knows of shitty semblance. You don't need to keep it a secret or make a big deal about, yes I know it is literally bad luck and don't ask why it is. I may be a wizard but there are limits that I can explains, besides, least your semblance actually does something I've seen some very disappointing ones in my life.

Next is Ironwood. Mr 'Hey let's park our foreign army right in the middle of another nation who's already terrified' like that will ever bite us back in the ass. As much as I enjoy his enthusiasm that man needs to learn when to take a chill pill, I am this certain that man is this far away from doing something so stupid that will give my ex-wife another victory.

Finally, Glynda ... oh the women is a pure saint ... maybe I should actually pay once I get back" Ozma finished.

...

...

...

"So, you done?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah, I am, thanks for being a real friends sakura" he answered

"Technically speaking, your holding a massive flaming blade" She wearily eyed the massive green sword of fire in his hand as he drank "Dear god, it isn't even noon yet. "
