Naruto

The 4 of us are waiting at the bridgehead with a heavy mist in the air, waiting for Zabuza and Haku to arrive. The plan is simple: kill Gato and his goons, take his money and any wealth he has, and important documents/intel that can help us. It sounded simple enough because it is simple. This mission is a low-risk high-reward kind of mission: we get two new allies and Gato's richest. After this, escort Zabuza and Haku to Konoha let Jiji and the elders deal with the negotiations, go home, make pizza and eat ramen to celebrate our first successful mission.

" I can't believe that our mission will end like this, all that build-up is wasted into a 3-hour boring negotiation, the word disappointing is an understatement. Where are the drama, the action, and the emotional moments that will scar us for life?! Well, the emotional part has partly happened, but you get the point!" Sakura said angrily. "This whole thing we're doing is underwhelming."

'When did she get her emotional moment? I bet it's from one of her meetings with Haku. Yet another change with canon. Oh well,' at this point, I just accepted that I'm not in canon anymore.

"Isn't that a good thing? That our overly dangerous mission is resolved by peaceful means. Why would you want us to fight a Kage-level Shinobi? Even when Kakashi-sensei is with us it's still a very dangerous thing to do." I replied. Satsuki is listening to our interaction while niisan is looking at the surrounding area.

"That's not the point it's fucking anti-climactic to end the mission this way. It all felt like there was this great tv show scene but it was rewritten by a 17-year-old Fanfiction writer with bad grammar!" She's overreacting again. 'Wait fanfiction? There's fanfiction in Naruto?'

"What do you mean by fanfiction? That's not a real term, right?" I refuse to believe there's fanfic in Naruto. How the frick did that term come to exist in this world anyway! "Also language."

"Fucking religious nutjob," Sakura muttered. "You know that super popular book called Salahuddin al-ayubbi? Well, it's so popular that the magazine I read allowed readers to write their version of the story and it's called fanfiction." This time niisan is listening to the conversation. 'I wrote that book in my free time. Wait a minute.'

"What kind of story did they print?" Please don't be weird, please don't be weird.

"You don't want to know, " she says with a reddened face. 'It's weird, humanity has never ceased to disappoint me.'

"You know, I made that book to teach people about the virtuous things in life. Not whatever they're doing right now." Sakura's head immediately snapped to me.

"You wrote that book! What the, huh?!" Sakura said in disbelief. "Do you plan to write a sequel?" Even in this world readers are annoying.

"No," Sakura looked more disappointed.

"Alright, that's enough chatting you two, our recently found ally is here." Inside the mist, two shadows can be seen ever slowly getting closer Zabuza and Haku emerge from the veiled looking fine as hell. 'Zabuza is so cool.'

"Everything is ready?" Zabuza asked.

"Yes," niisan said simply.

"Good, let's go, the sooner we're done here the better," Zabuza replied. "I'm done living on this goddamn forsaken island." There are still leaves on his head.

Making our way to Gato's base moving through a bog and the swampy land of Wave accompanied by the sounds of bugs, lots of bugs. The walk is awkward, we don't have anything to talk about. I guess it's an improvement compared to three days ago you know where we are killing each other.

"How's it been, Haku? Is your wrist still sore from Naruto chains?" Hmm, I like this version of Sakura.

"It's ok, well my accuracy with the senbon is a little off so I'm just going to use my Kekkei Genkai for today," Haku said, a little disheartened by the fact he can't block people's motor control.' Scary femboy is the worst. I know from experience, I was just walking and this girl, guy? I don't know, the person is very androgynous. He/She just told me did I hate their kind? I was just exiting my prayer place. I think it was because of my religious clothing. Overall awkward experience.'

"Haku do you remember about the little talk we have?" Haku nodded, "can you keep that a secret? Until I'm ready." What talk? What is she talking about?

"Your secret is safe with me, you don't have to worry about it." Sakura sighed in relief hearing Haku answer.

"What conversation?" Damn it, Satsuki, why can't you be subtle with this kind of scenario! "The fact that you divulge some secret to our former enemy is highly susp-" I shut her mouth with my hand and take her to the side for a second.

"For a genius, you're pretty stupid with this kind of stuff Satsuki. Sakura said something when she's ready we can't just barge into it without considering her privacy." I tried to lecture her.

"But we are her teammates? Don't we have the right to know?" This is why I'm not going to accept her feelings if she confesses to me, yet, she's a child with things to learn, many things to learn, basic things. 'I'll consider it when she's 17…. Get that disgusting thought out of your mind Naruto.'

I poked her forehead, she let out a small yelp of pain. "You know what Satsuki, after we get back to the village I will teach you the basics of interaction with someone. You're helpless."

"Fine," why is she smiling And giggling? "You win, I'll spend a significant amount of my time with you." What, 'oh frick.'

"You two get over here and stop flirting," Niisan said, trying to contain his laughter.

"I can see what you meant about the third wheeling part, Sakura-san. The two of them are unnaturally compatible." Said Haku.

"Right!! I told you!" Sakura replied to Haku. Again what kind of conversation do they have?

"We're not flirting!" I tried to clarify the misunderstanding, "I was just trying to help her be more sociable." And grumbled, "cmon Satsuki let's go." I dragged her hand with me. 'I felt more like her big brother than a love interest.'

"So, what's the deal anyway?" They've just asked me without any reason. The 4 of them are hiding behind a tree looking at a group of men in the open field.

"Look there," Zabuza pointed at an open clearing. "Our target is unexpectedly in front of us."

"This is goofy as hell," I blurted without thinking.

Right in the middle of the field, Gato is explaining his plan to his goons. Failing spectacularly at that. All of his goons are sitting like schoolchildren on the ground while Gato tries his best to explain his plan to them.

'What in seven hells I'm looking at.' I thought to myself.

"Listen when I say the word go, you're all going to move behind me looking all menacing. Is it that hard to understand?" The problem is not the goons are stupid.

"I mean we have to count the technicality of the…" it that all of them can think for themselves.

"Fucking listen! We don't have to complicate this! : step 1 when I say the word we show up all menacingly, step 2 I do my evil monologue."

"Why do you have to do your evil monologue?" I mean when you think about it only smart people can survive that long enough as bandits in this world. "Isn't that going to give our target a chance to recuperate and formulate a plan mate?" They have accents??

"Shut up! The monologue is important!" Gato said feverishly. " Step 3 we kidnap Tazuna's daughter and grandson." not going to work. I left two clones there." Step 4 we kill Zabuza after he has killed or injured the shinobi that guarded that idiotic bridge builder!" Another hand shot up into the air and Gato groaned.

"So they intend to betray me huh, that's good to know." A menacing aura can be seen on him, 'Gato is going to be dead, dead.'

"Umm, actually I can see 50 possibilities that it's not going to work…." At this point, Gato just sits down on the ground rubbing his temples. He just waited for him to finish. 'For some reason, I felt sorry for him.'

"Are you done yet…. Good," he tried to get up only to struggle because of how fat he is. 'I feel really sorry for him now.'

"Poor guy," I muttered.

"Wave," Satsuki simply stated. 'Well, I'm dumb.'

"Step 5 profit…" The silence is deafening.

"That's it?" One of the goons asked.

"Yes," Gato simply stated. All of them blinked in disbelief.

"Sure why not you're the boss." He looked so defeated. "We're dead," he muttered. 'Overly qualified villain underlings.'

"This is quite sad, now?" Niisan said.

"Yes, one, two, three!" We all jumped into the clearing with poses. Niisan and Zabuza are in the middle, niisan hands are in his pocket while Zabuza holds his giant sword on his shoulder with style, Satsuki and Sakura are in the right and left respectively with Satsuki opening his one eye with a Sharingan glaring at Gato and Sakura is twirling a kunai, As for me, I kneeled on the ground with a grin. 'This is so cool.'

"And we're dead, fuck this shit im out." The same guy that's so defeated.

"Should we spare them?" I said my opinion.

""""" NO,""""" all of them said in unison.

"Why?"

"Bandits, " Satsuki simply said. 'Well, I'm dumb.'

I sighed, 'the least I can do is to make their death quick and painless. Except for Gato, I have a special plan for him, mob justice Baby!'

"Hard light release gate of heaven," multiple circles made out of golden light appeared out of thin air, absorbing the light surrounding them, launching multiple luminous swords like projectiles accompanied by a sonic boom. Chunks of meat fly into the air and a red mist reeks of blood. Gato was covered in blood, his eyes widened, his face pale and horrified.

The people near me look at me in disbelief at what I just did.

"What the actual fuck!" Sakura screamed. And then puked.

"What? Also language."

"No Naruto, Sakura is right what the actual fuck! What is wrong with you?!" This time Satsuki? She looked horrified.

"I don't want to waste most of my afternoons just killing bandits and interrogating them. We have one culprit that probably has all the info we need," I explained to them. "It's more efficient." Danzo really messed up my brain.

"That's not the point, agh, never mind," Satsuki said. "I've seen…worse."

"Naruto, didn't I tell you to use that Jutsu as a last resort?" niisan said.

"Yeah, when I was seven, that was five years ago. I've already improved…"

' Skill: Hardlight release: Gate of Heaven '

Skill

Hardlight release: Gate of Heaven: 78%

"To 78% I can spam them without any problem now." that answer didn't satisfy niisan.

"I shouldn't let you train with Danzo." Well, he is rough on the edges but underneath that, he's a sweet old- wtf am I thinking right now.'

"You were trained by Danzo?! That explained everything. Remind me not to fuck with you in the future kid." Said Zabuza. Then his head snapped to me. "Why didn't you use that Jutsu on me?"

"Collateral damage," he seems satisfied with that answer.

"What should we do to Gato?" Satsuko said.

"We're going to throw him to the river then proceed to the next plan," Niisan replied…

"Or…" I'm trying to suggest something.

"Oh here we go again," Sakura said, rolling her eyes.

"We can give him to Tazuna village," I suggested to them.

" And why is that brat? As far as I know, his head is mine after that betrayal." He growls like a predator looking at its prey.

"The people of Wave need a confidence boost, beating the sorry ass that been torturing them is a common tactic for Anbu to gain their self back after a long period of interrogation."

"That's a better plan than what I had in mind," Zabuza said. "I agree."

"I don't like killing but that doesn't mean I can't increase the chance of my opponent dying even greater and worse." He said all of that with a cheerful smile. 'Again, femboy is scary.'

"Very well, now let's do our job, which bone should we break first?" Niisan and Zabuza towered over the bloodied face of Gato.

"Or we start at the groin area." I can see Gato's soul leaving his face.

"Poor him."


After the "delicate" touch we gave to Gato asking politely for any information that can help us. When that's done we raided Gato's base for any important paper. We also found money, lots of money, like holy that's a lot of money. Ten million ryo to be exact we agreed to take the money 50/50 for each party. 'I have one million Ryo in my bank account….noice.'

(Note: 1 million Ryo is like 6.591.52 in USD.)

Gato's body, which is struggling to stay conscious, was given to Tazuna-san village officials. They didn't expect to see Gato's almost functional body on their doorstep today. Oh and also a lot of angry villagers outside with an assortment of things to hurt Gato with. The weirdest one is a frying pan. I think they've seen us carrying Gato around the village.

After Gato is dealt with we make our way to Tazuna-san to tell the recent developments.

"That's it?" Said Tazuna

"Yep," niisan replied.

"That's a bit anticlimactic. Who would've thought that Gato's death would be so comical? I expect something epic, to be honest." Sakura is doing a fist pump.

"I told you it's anticlimactic. But you don't believe me." She said smugly.

"Not surprising, Gato is fighting two Kage level shinobi and four geniuses. What would you expect that he's going to win," Satsuki said. "He didn't even have a fighting chance when we allied with Zabuza."

"So what now? Gato is dead, what will happen to our country?" Said Tazuna.

"Three days from now a representative from Konoha will be here and negotiate how your country will pay for the mission. We expect your country Daimyo and you Tazuna to be the representative of Wave country." And just like that Konoha has acquired a new Puppet in Wave country, which effectively controls the central sea and has a major buffer zone for our unprotected eastern flank. 'This will guarantee Konoha hegemony for the next hundreds of years.'

"Now Haku, now you know why so many countries hate Konoha," Zabuza whispered to Haku's ear.

"But we don't have any money to pay for the mission!!" Tazuna-san said with panic. "Are you going to occupy our country!?"

"No, we're not. The sovereignty of Wave will not be breached I can assure you that." Niisan smiled. 'Yeah in the short term not the long term.'

"Oh thank the gods. Alright, I will inform the daimyo."

"Good, we will leave tomorrow morning. For now, let us rest."


Next day

The celebration of Gato's death is eventful; we can't rest as so many people are screaming ecstatic with his demise. Our inability to rest is exacerbated as people tried to knock at Tazuna-san's house trying to see and thank us for the deeds we have done.

I have to keep Satsuki from exploding while Zabuza… a femboy, is scary.

The next morning the five of us are standing on the bridgehead with the whole village sending us off.

"We should name the bridge after you niisan! You're the one who dealt with most of the bandits." Inari said to me. Tazuna seemed receptive to the idea.

"No, while I would like to see a bridge named after me you should name the bridge to the real hero that risked his own life trying to construct the bridge so that his country can have a better future." I turned Inari's head to his grandfather, "Ok Inari."

"Is everyone ready?" Niisan turned his head toward us.

"Wait," I searched my pocket and pulled out a newly bought notebook. "This is a notebook that my clone has written nonstop for the last 5 days. It doesn't contain the complete material for you to learn but merely a guide on which kind of knowledge you should study." I gave the book to Inari.

"Thank you." He said quietly.

"You're welcome," I replied.

"Will you return to Wave anytime soon?" Inari's Voice sounded hopeful.

"I will but next time we will see each other as the leader of our respective Nations. Until that day comes, I want you to hide your nose with books." I said to Inari.

"Alright, I guess it's goodbye then Hokage-sama," Inari said with a smirk.

"And to you also Prime minister," I replied with a cheeky grin.

"Goodbye!"

"Thank you!"

"Come back when you have the time!!"

The sound of people shouting to congratulate us and thanking us made my chest fill with the emotion of accomplishment and enjoyment.

'I hope that I will have the same feelings I have right now in the future. There are many places I haven't visited and need saving.'


"So that's how the mission ended?" Jiji asked.

"Yes, sir," niisan replied.

"No casualties, no serious damage, and you've resolved it rather peacefully." Jiji looked at Zabuza "so are you Zabuza Momochi it's nice to see another member of the legendary seven swordsmen of the mist, the last one I encountered is 10 feet under." Well, that's a great power play by Jiji. He's trying to set the tone and the mood of the conversation going forward.

"It is also nice to see the God of Shinobi in person. I've heard quite a lot about you since my childhood. It surprised me that you survived into your late 60s. I would've thought you would be retired by now." Zabuza tried to retake the flow of conversation.

Jiji chuckled, "I am lucky to live in such a peaceful village that I can grow old and die peacefully unlike some other part of the world. Ah, my mistake, did that strike into your nerve Zabuza-san?" Jilin said with the most neutral face I've ever seen. 'Ugh, politics ew.'

Zabuza tightens his hand while glaring at Jiji the room grows tense. "Can we go Jiji? I think my team deserves a well-deserved rest for today." I said trying to escape whatever was going to happen.

"Team 7 except for Kakashi you can leave my office, don't forget to write the mission report Naruto." We leave the room leaving Niisan, Zabuza, and Haku at the office.

"Nice save Naruto," Sakura said.

"I'm going home," Satsuki said as she started to leave us.

"Where are you going, Satsuki, I'm making pizza tonight." And she stopped midway and turned her head around like a cat when they heard their owner giving food, "you want to join Sakura?"

"Uhmm, sure, I'll join you." Satsuki, for obvious reasons, glared at Sakura.

"Awesome, let the first team 7 celebratory night commence!!"

……

"So we're just eating pizza the whole night?" Sakura was a little disturbed because of how many pizzas I put on the table. "Isn't this too much?"

"Probably," I replied to Sakura.

"Nope," the two of us looked at Satsuki who had begun to chow down on the food.

"Ahh, whatever, what's wrong with gaining a couple more pounds? I'll lose all that fat after 1 week anyway. Naruto, give me a whole pan!!"

"Maybe we should change the name to pizza night."


Uhhhhh

Mid-term in my school I have to cut it short to study.

Yeah, it's not the greatest I know.

I'm never writing any canon mission except the chunin exam after this it's boring to write. I tried so hard to make this arc interesting it's hard.
