Naruto, Hinata, and Tazuna left early the next morning before the sun came up, Naruto and Hinata on high alert as they left the village. Naruto had a bad feeling about this mission, but Tazuna's family needed Naruto. Naruto quietly discussed the plan he had with Tazuna and Hinata, he created an army of shadow clones separating them in groups of three and having one in each group transform into Hinata, and one transform into Tazuna. This way they had multiple decoy groups.
"We will go to Wave traveling like this, every time a group of clones is taken out I will create 3 more groups and we will continue on like this all the way there." Naruto told them.
Hinata nodded, "Won't that be rather taxing on your chakra Naruto?"
Naruto nodded, "Yes it will, but I have multiple chakra recovery seals that I put all of my chakra into last night. I will just use those to fill back up as soon as I need to. This is the best way to get to wave at the moment."
Hinata nodded, "Okay Naruto, anything else?"
"Of course, all my clones along with myself are leaving placing flying thundergod seals every step we take with our feet, this will allow us to teleport anywhere we need to just about, it will also throw off anyone trying to track us if we just teleport to another route." Naruto told her smiling.
"Alright, now what are the plans once we get to the wave?" Hinata asked.
Naruto's face got a little darker, "You will be staying with Tazuna and a few buffed clones, you remember how to activate your distress seal correct?" Hinata nodded and Naruto continued, "I will infiltrate Gato's headquarters wherever it may be. I can always teleport to your location if you are in trouble, but you will be hiding with Tazuna. You had better be careful Hinata, you too Tazuna. Listen to me carefully, I will save your family, you just need to let me. I am going to infiltrate and find them, when I find one a clone will teleport the one I find to you. I will find the other and teleport them to you. Tazuna…this only works if you are safe and stay hidden. If you and Hinata aren't safe, I have nowhere to send your family to."
Tazuna nodded, "Are you sure you will be able to infiltrate alone? Shouldn't you take Hinata with you to help you?"
Naruto shook his head, "No offense is meant to Hinata, she is very strong, and a very capable ninja, but she just isn't on my level. She would slow me down on an infiltration mission. Look I was trained on infiltration from the three best ninja in the leaf village. Two of them are former ANBU captains, and one is Jiraiya the Sannin. I am able to slip through any base, village, outpost, whatever it is, I will slip through with ease. No one will find me, no one will have any idea that I'm there until it is too late and their throat is already slit. Tazuna I promise you, I will get your family back, no matter what it takes."
Tazuna nodded, he stepped forward and hugged Naruto, with tears in his eyes, "Please just save my family, they are all I have left."
Naruto smiled, "I will save them, I give you my word, and you can ask Hinata, I never go back on my word. I know how you feel, an evil man currently has my mother and I can't do anything about it. We have no idea what part of the world they are in. I have had other loved ones held captive as well, it's hard, I know what you feel, helpless. Let me be the weapon that you use to free them."
Tazuna nodded, "I trust you Naruto. I don't know why, but I trust you more than I have ever trusted anyone, thank you so much."
Naruto nodded and he looked at Hinata, "I know this isn't what you had in mind for our first mission, staying in the back and playing guard, but we don't have a choice here. I have to get severely involved so that we can win, we don't have a choice."
Hinata smiled at him, "It's okay, we have to do this, we have to save Tazuna's family, I'll do whatever you need me to."
Naruto nodded, "Thank you Hinata."
They continued walking for a while, Naruto alert as anything, he was however caught off guard when Tazuna asked him, "So how did this work out? Hinata she is your age, yet a genin? Is that what its called? And you are a genius or something just that gifted?"
Naruto stopped for a minute, before continuing to walk, "I'm certainly no genius, I do have great genes, my father was Minato Namikaze, the fourth Hokage, one of the strongest ninja of all time. My mother Kushina Uzumaki, the Red Hot Habenero. She was fierce and feared as well, they were both very strong. I however at one point was the dead last in my class, both of my parents died in the Nine Tailed Fox attack many years ago, I was orphaned. However, I dropped out of school and someone started training me. I got very strong being trained by three of the strongest ninja in the world."
Tazuna nodded, "Was that not available for Hinata? From what I know the Hyuga clan is very prestigious and Hinata would have more funds available to her. Also, it sounded like Hinata is taking this as her first mission in a while."
Naruto sighed, "She had to take 2 and a half years off."
Hinata was very quiet at this point and Tazuna looked at her, his eyes widened, "Oh no…I'm so sorry, Hinata…you were Naruto's loved one that was taken. I'm sorry you two, I should have realized it sooner."
"It's alright Tazuna, just know, this is one of the reasons that we will work so hard to protect you and get your loved ones back. I was taken, gone for over two years, held by evil men, Naruto searched the world looking for me. It took him two and a half years but he found me, he saved me. Just like he will save your family. Naruto will not stop until they are saved." Hinata spoke up finally.
Naruto didn't say anything but just nodded, Tazuna grinned, "I'm very thankful to have you two here to help me. Your village has done so much to help me, I will be forever in your debt. I'm sorry I can't properly pay you."
"Don't worry about it, I literally have more money than I know what to do with, my parents were both S class ninja for years, they went on so many incredibly high paying jobs, plus the Uzumaki clan was once as prestigious as the Hyuga clan, and my dad's family the Namikaze were very well off as well. I inherited both of these, only recently. Neither one of us cares about the money, we have plenty." Naruto told him honestly.
Tazuna nodded, "Thank you both."
Naruto nodded and they continued walking, going through the forests, they were never bugged, Naruto's diversions worked well. His clones had been attacked multiple times but with so many all around, they were unable to find the real group. Out of nowhere Naruto cursed, "Fuck."
"What's wrong Naruto?" Hinata asked him.
"My clones defeated one of the ninja after us, they interrogated him, Zabuzo Momochi, the Demon of the Mist is after us now. Him and Haku. We've fought them before, they tried to take you to the Cloud remember?" Naruto told her.
Hinata nodded, "They were tough. Zabuza was on par with Kakashi-sensei, right?"
Naruto nodded, "Yeah that was three years ago. Come on, let's go, we need to get out of here. Zabuza isn't someone to trifle with."
"Wait! This Zabuza guy…is he stronger than you? You are one of the strongest ninja in one of the strongest villages, is this guy really that strong?" Tazuna asked, now terrified.
"It's not that he is or isn't stronger than me, he is a highly-trained assassin, he has the advantage since we are playing defense. We don't need to leave it to chance if we can escape." Naruto told him.
Tazuna nodded, "So I'll stay here, I will let them get me, while they have me you can save my family."
Naruto shook his head, "Brave of you, but trust me on this. If you try to stay here they will send a weaker ninja to kill you and Zabuza will still come after me and Hinata, it does no good."
Tazuna growled in frustration, but Naruto's ears perked up, "Hinata, take Tazuna with my clone, go now."
A shadow clone popped into existence, it picked up Tazuna and took off, Hinata following dutifully as Naruto stood in the clearing waiting. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, building up a small amount of chakra in his right hand.
He waited until he heard the whistling of a blade, his eyes snapped open, "KITSUNE!" He yelled as he summoned his fox blade to his hand, holding strong as Zabuza's giant executioners blade snapped into it, Naruto's right arm muscles bulging as he held against it. A giant shockwave tore through the surrounding area, as Naruto stared into the seemingly soulless eyes of the demon.
"Naruto Uzumaki…student of Kakashi Hatake, son of the Yellow Flash, jonin of the Hidden Leaf village. What has it been three years?" Zabuza growled out.
Naruto grinned at him, "Zabuza Momochi, Demon of the Mist, it has been three years since your gang almost killed me. It's time a repaid that favor." Naruto pushed hard with Kitsune, knocking Zabuza back, he then swung his own sword, Zabuza was fast, he brought his own sword up to block Naruto's.
"Fighting a legendary swordsman in a swordfight? That's ballsy." Zabuza growled to him.
Naruto smirked, "I've fought more impressive ninja than you. You don't even compare to my sensei Itachi, that man is a real master. You're dirt beneath his feet."
Zabuza growled and swung hard at Naruto. Naruto held Kitsune in both hands swinging down, jumping. Kitsune drove the executioner's blade downward as he flipped over it, he swung sideways afterwards, forcing Zabuza to dodge and back away slightly. He went through hand seals, "Hidden Mist Jutsu."
Naruto squinted the mist was getting so thick, "Demon Style: Fox Tracker." Naruto said, as he activated his fox eyes. He grinned, as he smelt Zabuza coming near him, he grinned as his eyes allowed him to see further in front of him than a normal human would be able to.
Zabuza swung his sword and Naruto tensed waiting for the last moment finally he brought his sword up, blocking Zabuza's sword, while he did this he charged chakra into his hand, he thrust the spiraling orb into Zabuza, "Rasengan!"
The Rasengan hit the man and blasted him away. Zabuza grunted in pain as he hit a tree, he got back up but rather slowly. Naruto was on top of him in a second, Zabuza swung at Naruto with his sword, but Naruto countered with a powerful swing of Kitsune, knocking Zabuza's unbalanced swing to the side.
The blonde ninja spun Kitsune, drove it into the ground and stepped inside Zabuza's defense, smashing his fist into the deadly ninja's face. He then turned and fired his knee into his face before flipping backwards, grabbing kitsune and pulling it with him blocking Zabuza's blade. Naruto jumped backwards into the mist, drawing kunai and tossing them around the area. He waited for a moment for Zabuza, taking a deep breath. That was when he heard something that chilled his bones…Hinata screamed in the distance, his clone popped…"Haku…"
