Chapter 13: Land of Waves: Battle on the Bridge!
Location: Wave Country
Place: Gato's mansion
Time: 0200 (Friday)
Gato glared at his top Lt's from around the Land Of Wave's area. Eight men who managed all the Mercenaries, his slave trade, his drugs, weapons, and fleets. Only the problem was that his drugs were gone, all but two of his camps wiped out, the Auction Houses bust and finally his grip on Wave was loosening thanks to the attacks. All over the country riots breaking out his men getting attacked. Even being killed. And the bridge was the key to everything.
"What do you plan on doing Gato-sama? The other parts of your organization and company are talking about splintering off?" asked his highest ranking Lt and Heir to the throne should something happen.
"Have they now? I'll just have to kill them and put some of the Made men in charge. I talked to Zabuza the just a few hours ago. He's ready to fight," said Gato.
"That doesn't ease our worries Gato-sama. We are losing a lot of money and influence by the day," said another man.
Gato smirked. "Don't worry about it. Just be ready Because tomorrow we take full control of wave back with our own two hands," said Gato grinning.
Location: Wave Country
Place: Zabuza's hideout
Time: 0220 (Friday)
Zabuza sat in his bed with an apple in his hand. He held it firmly before crushing it with ease. Zabuza smirked behind his bandages. He stood up and looked at the twins. He was ready to go to battle.
"What's the plan Zabuza-sama?" asked Hiyasu.
"Kakashi and that snake lady are going to have to split their genin force up. Not sure how their going to split them, but we can be assured that at least the Uchiha is going to be at the bridge and at least one of them will guard the house. I'm sure that Gato is already sending people to the house so we won't worry about that. I'm going to have to have you both there. The uchiha and Kakashi are the biggest threats in my eyes," said Zabuza.
Hiyasu and Haku nodded to Zabuza. Tomorrow was going to be a blood bath.
Location: Wave Country
Place: Tazuna's home
Time: 1000 (Friday)
Kakashi, Anko, Chocho, Mitsuki, Sasuke, and Naruto stood with Tazuna across from Tsunami, Hinata, and Sarada. The group said their good-byes and left to for the bridge. It didn't take them long to arrive. When they did they saw a light mist rolling in. Everyone was on edge due to the speed that it came in at. When they neared the center of the bridge they saw several men laying on the ground.
"What the hell!?" asked Tazuna as he looked at all his men.
Naruto put his hand out in front of Tazuna. "Don't move!" yelled Naruto.
"Don't worry. I just knocked them out. I'm not a heartless man," said Zabuza appearing from the mist with his two partners.
The group surrounded Tazuna as ten water clones surrounded them. Sasuke looked at Kakashi who nodded. Sasuke seemed egar for a fight if the way he was shaking was any indication. He seemed to vanish as he slit each and every one of the Water Clones throats with two Kunai in his hands. With nothing but puddles of water on the ground.
"That was an impressive display of speed and power. Even if the Water clones are only one tenth the strength of the original," said the female.
The male chuckled. "He may be your equal in speed Haku," said the male.
"He's not fast enough to take on the Demonic Ice Mistress," said Haku as she ran though hand signs. "Demonic Ice Release: Icy winds!" yelled Haku throw her hands forward unleashing a gale of absolute zero winds.
Naruto and Chocho got in front of the group and ran though hand signs. "Earth Release: Earth dome!" yelled the duo.
A dome of earth formed over the ground protecting them from the winds, however the shell wasn't thick enough to stop the spread of ice. As the dome completely froze over Sasuke and Kakashi ran though hand signs and aimed forward. Naruto and Chocho stopped supplying the Chakra to keep the dome allowing it to fall.
"Fire Release: Grand Flame of destruction," yelled the duo.
Once the dome collapsed Sasuke and Kakashi unleashed a torrent of flames at the group.
Hiyasu and Zabuza ran though their own hand signs. "Water Release: Water drill bullets!"
The duo released a slavo of near invisible spriling bullets that stopped the flames in their tracks. Haku took this chance and rushed forward while drawing a tanto. Sasuke saw her running forward and met her midway. The duo exchanged quick blows, each having enough speed to counter the other. Haku did a full 360 spin and slashed at Sasuke's throat. Sasuke blocked the attack.
Haku raised one hand and did hand signs shocking Sasuke. "Demonic Ice Release: 1000 needles of death!" yelled Haku as she stomped the ground and created 1000 needles that surrounded them.
She unleashed a burst of chakra causing the needles to fly at them. Sasuke barely had enough time to get out of the way. He got two needles in his left leg and one in his right arm forcing him to drop his kunai. He let out a grunt of pain as he managed to glare at Haku. Haku pressed her advantage she took out a few of her senbon and throw them at Sasuke. Sasuke knocked them all out of the air. He took a breath.
As Haku and Sasuke's battle raged Kakashi and Anko were the only thing stopping Zabuza from getting out of control. That left Mitsuki, Chocho, and Naruto to block Hiyasu.
"You two watch Tazuna. I'll handle the other Hunter. If he's anything Like Haku then he's a major threat," said Naruto.
"Oh? You know my sister's name. She did say that she encountered one of you in the forest. I take it that was you. For sparing my sister I will honor you with a name. My name is Yuki Hiyasu, The Demonic Ice King,"
"Well Hiyasu-san I'm Uzumaki Naruto, Konoha's Trap and Ambush Master... should we get started?" asked Naruto.
Hiyasu didn't say a word as he quickly ran though hand signs. "Enough talk Uzumaki! Water Release: Waterfall crusher!"
A large amount of water rose out of the sea and formed into a large pillar that began to fall at Naruto and the others. Naruto wasn't about to let that stand.
Naruto ran though his own Hand signs. "Wind Release: Repulsing Air current!" yelled Naruto.
Naruto pulled his hands back and unleashing two visible currents that split the falling water. Washing the bridge and making it harder for everyone to stand. Hiyasu took a running start and jumped into the air before he began to spin at high speeds. The water around him froze as he went to slash at Naruto. Naruto raised his gauntlet and made a shield of chakra that stopped the attack, but it chilled him to the bone. Backing away Naruto summoned an implosion orb before throwing it. Hiyasu batted it away as it hit the railing and crushed the railing. Hiyasu didn't have time to recover as he found himself surrounded by Naruto's strings both virtually and horizontally. He narrowed his eyes at this. He kept his eyes on the boy's glove so he was sure that he didn't use those annoying strings.
Naruto raised his hand and flipped it palm skywards. "You took your eye off the birdie! Silk Trap: Shredder!"
The strings rushed at Hiyasu. Hiyasu crushed as he slammed his hand onto the ground. "Demonic Ice Relase: Crystal Dome!"
A dome of ice appeared around Hiyasu the strings cut into the ice but not enough to crush it. It was a struggle. Ice vs string, but Naruto had not intentions of losing, nor playing fair. Sending wind chakta though the Naruto balled up his fist. The added wind chakra gave the strings to cut though the ice. Once the shards were in the air Naruto looked at the spot where he was suppose to be, only for Hiyasu to be somewhere else.
Naruto felt a build up of chapter behind him.
"Demonic Ice Release: Freezing Decapitation!" yelled Hiyasu slashing at Naruto.
Naruto's head was taken clean off his body, before his head and body froze insistently.
Location: Wave Country
Place: Tazuna's lands
Time: 1030 (Friday)
Zori and Waraji lead a bandit force of 30 men twords the northern part of Tazuna/Tsunami's lands. The two. Zori and Waraji stood at the back of the group. They had had their fair run ins with Shinobi and knew better then to allow them even an inch. Waraji lost his eye to a Shinobi. At least the Shinbi lost his life to Waraji's blade.
"The Intel from our guy says that only the women and the kid are alone in the house," said Zori.
"This should be easy. I want to taste them," said Waraji licking his blade.
Zori chuckled at his friend. While his friend didn't ignore his lust for women, he was more battle hungry then anything. They had both been low ranking land of Iron samurai. They had abandoned their post during an invasion and never went back. They were as far back as five years ago hired by Gato.
"Not this time Waraji. Gato wants them alive and untouched," said Zori
The group arrived at the edge of Tazuna's property and observed the house. They couldn't see anything, but knew that all the girls were. The minute they were passed the Barrier stone the docks lit up in an electric arc that killed all the men who stepped front of the dock. Zori and Waraji cursed as they brought their blades up blocking the two girls who attacked them. Hinata crushed as she was thrown away from Zori while Sarada matched him blow for blow.
Sarada disengaged and flow though hand signs. "Fire Release: Great Fire Ball!"
Sarada fired off a massive ball of fire that easy engulfed the path of the docks.
Zori quickly sheathed his sword, before unsealing it just as quickly. "Single sword draw: Cleaving wind!"
Zori slashed downwards and managed to cut the center of the massive ball easily. Sarada cursed before she sheathed her sword and activated a seal hidden on the hilt. Rushing forward she unsheathed it and ignited it. Zori's eyes widened as he blocked the attack, but the strength behind her attack was enough to send him back several feet. As he looked at the heat coming of his sword he glared at her .
Hinata was avoiding all of Waraji's single handed slashes. Each of his attacks was powerful and were it not for the Hyuga passive 'chakra gloves'. Once Hyuga started learning the Gentle Fist. The Chakra gloves were strong enough to stop regular steel. Hinata actually took it a step further. While the Regular Gentle fist was somewhat rigged, Hinata found that with her natural flexibility and speed she could flow like water.
Ducking a slash Hinata did a spin and pointed her left finger at Waraji's chest. "Eight Trigrams: Chakra pistol.
A small ball of chakra appeared at the tip of her finger before she 'fired' it. The ball flew from her finger and hit Waragi in his chest with enough force to pierce straight though it. Waraji coughed up blood as he went to a knee. His breath was ragged, coming in short raspy gasps. She had pierced his lung. While not an instant death sentence it was painful. His lungs would fill with blood as they slowly collapsed. He glared at the girl, who had most likely ended his career as a swordsman. He rose to his feet and put his hands on his sword.
"Single cut style: Horse breaking slash!" yelled Waraji.
"Pathetic worm! Vacuum cutting palm!" yelled Hinata as she unleashed a strong gust of wind from her hands and slashed off both his arms!
Waraji yelled in pain as he rolled on the ground. Hinata walked up to him. "It's over dog!" growled Hinata.
"You'd better finish me off bitch!" rasped Waraji. "or I'll spend the rest of my life hunting you and your fucking family down and slaughterer you all
Hinata stood before him raising her hand and coating it in chakra, before sharpening it out with shape manipulation. " Don't worry, I intend to now, rot in the womb of the dark mother, Eight Trigrams: Palm of Fate!" yelled Hinata putting the palm to his had and blowing his brain out though the back of his head.
Zori throw Sarada off. As she flipped in the air Sarada ran though hand signs once she finished she breathed out a stream of high pressure water. Zori looked at the stream, before rolling out of the way as it cut though the wood easy as butter.
"This is starting to get annoying," said Sarada with a frown.
"Die bitch!" yelled Zori.
Sarada spin around and cut he man's head off. The body fell to the ground. Sarada throw the blood off her sword. She looked at the mess that was on the bridge. Hinata was on her knees throwing up into the lake.
"First time killing someone?" asked Sarada sheathing her sword.
Hinata looked at sarada with a Glare. "Shut up," said the girl wiping her lips.
Sarada smiled. "It's not easy, taking the life of another," said the red eyed young woman.
Location: Wave Country
Place: Bridge
Time: Same time at the bridge (Friday)
The Naruto that was before Hiyasu turned into smoke leaving nothing. Hiyasu's eyes widened as Naruto appeared above his running tohugh hand signs. Naruto fired off several air bullets Hiyasu jumped backwards and landed safly away from the bullets. Naruto landed and flexed his fingers, before throwing out sevreal of his strings trying to wrap Hiyasu up and shred him to pieces. Hiyasu unleashed a brust of ice chakra from his body freezing the strings and forcing Naruto to disingage again and jump away as the area he was in froze.
"Your one tough son of a bitch," said Naruto.
Hiyasu smirked behind his mask. "I must admit that you yourself are quite a capable warrior. Had we met somewhere without as much water as this place I might have lost, however you will die here," said Hiyasu as he turned his blade upside down. "Take pleasure in knowing that you are one of four people who have ever forced me to use this technique. Demonic Ice style: Dome of 1000 souls,"
Naruto looked around as the water from below the bridge rose up and began to swirl around them at a tremendous amount of speed. Soon the water began to separate into thin streams and finally they stopped in place and took the shape of swords.
"What the hell is this?" asked Naruto.
"This dome is my way of saying that your to much for me to handle with one Blade. I have abandoned Defense in favor of offense. My control is only good enough to summon one sword at a time. Be thankful... As long as I have this jutsu active I can not use other ninjtsu. However I am a Kinjutsu expert at heart,"
Naruto smirked. "Then in the interest of fairness I'm going to give you a hint as well. I'm not much for up close combat. That's more my girlfriends department. Me. I prefer to fight at mid range, but i'm not to shabby at close range combat either. Sorry Sarada, but for this fight I have to play at being a swordsmen," said Naruto removing two slips of paper from his his pouch. "Sealing Art of Focus: Sword of Sealing, Sealing Art of Focus: Shield of Rejection.
In his right hand appeared appeared a double sided sword that was blue and over his left arm appeared a square sheild.
"Like you I won't be able to use anything other then this since this is taking up my entire concentration," said Naruto.
Hiyasu chuckled. "I think if we met under different circumstances we could have been friends," said Hiyasu.
Naruto gave a small smile. "That I can believe,"
Naruto placed the shield at just below eye level while holding the 'sword' just above the shield as Hiyasu summoned one of his swords. The two young men looked at each other with glares, but something in their hearts connected them and they had something akin to respect for each other.
Chocho was biting her lip as her lover was fighting for his life against an opponent that was proving to be his equal... n his better. Gripping her kanabo in a white knuckled grip, she was prepared to jump in and help him. The only thing stopping her was the fact that Sasuke looked to be in dire straights. Gripping her Kanabo tight she prepared to destroy everything to save her beloved glowing sun.
Naruto blocked a strike from Hiyasu with his shield, and thrust his blade at managed to nick his mask breaking the bottom right corner of it. Hiyasu grit his teeth as he stabbed downwards and into Naruto's left leg. Naruto yelled in pain as his muscles in that leg froze, spinning around Naruto manged to slash Hiyasu across the chest drawing blood. Hiyasu managed to back peddle and held his chest with his free left hand. Both Naruto and Hiyasu were in bad shape. Naruto's cuts were frozen and slowing his movement, while Hiyasu's mask was busted and he was bleeding from his chest.
"Your quite strong," said Hiyasu.
Naruto smirked. "Thanks you as well,"
"But the diffrance in our power is obvius. In fact it's time to end this," said Hiyasu as all of the water gathered. He was abandoning the technique. "Demonic ice Release: Crystal Prison encasement!
All the swords flow at Naruto as they melted. Naruto wanted to jump away, but couldn't. He smiled at the water that closed in on him. Naruto tried to move, but his cuts and the frozing damage to his body made it near impossible to do that.
"So this is how I die? Damn and I never got to see either of them swell with child," thought Naruto as the future that he imagined with his lovers came crashing in on him.
Before the ice encased him, Naruto was pushed out of the way. Nauto looked at Chocho in her eyes, her smile wide and beautiful as the ice encased her. She looked like a statute one it froze over.
"CHOCHO!" yelled Naruto as he took his blade and began to hack away at the ice.
"It's no use... The temperature inside of there is negative 100 degrees. Her heart must have already stopped beating. I admire her. Willing to sacrifice her life for yours she must have loved you dearly," said Hiyasu.
"SHUT UP!" yelled Naruto as he looked at the prision that was one of his lovers.
What was he going to tell Anko-kaa, Hana-kaa, Sara-chamn!? What was he going to tell his family!? That one of theirs died because he had been to weak? Deep inside of him he felt something sinister awaken. Like a presence that had been sleeping for a long time was awake now! That presence was screaming at him to avange his mate! That presence was bringing all of the rage, the hate, the sorrow from his past to the surfice. That something made Naruto's body pluseae with power that seemed to burn the air around them. The entire area surrounding the bridge went form 50degrees to almost 80 easily
"You die here YUKI HIYASU!" yelled Naruto turning to Hiyasu with blood red eyes.
Naruto's wounds began to heal at a rapid pace almost to the point of regeneration. His glare was so frighteing. Almost like he was looking into his very soul. Hiyasu felt like he was being crushed alive by the pressure that Naruto was releasing alone! Naruto vanished and appeared before Hiyasu. He gripped his shoulder with his right hand and squeezed with his already tormentors gripping strength that seemed to have been amplified 1000 fold! A sicking crunch was heard as Hiyasu let out a scream of pain. He had to get away or this man would kill him! He let go of his sword and started doing one handed hand signs.
"Demonic Ice Release: Frost Breath!" yelled Hiyasu blowing chilled air into Naruto's direction.
To Naruto it was a cool summer's breeze. He jumped into the air taking Hiyasu with him, lifting the body above his head he throw him at the ground. Hiyasu impacted it with such force that a crater was made 20 feet in diameter.
Naruto above him, seemly hovering in the sky took both hands and balled them into fist as he did a single twisting motion with intente speed. The speed behind the attack unleashed a heated shock wave of force that would have killed Hiyasu had a mirror not appeared and a the female hunter jumped out of it, taking the blow. Haku screamed as the force of the attack seemingly ripped her apart! She landed next to her brother barely clinging to the land of conciseness.
"HAKU!" yelled Hiyasu struggling to stand as he slowing made his way to his sister and pulled her into his arms.
"It's fine Nii-sama... I'm," started the ice using girl, beore she coughed up blood.
Naruto seemingly lost his will to fight as he looked at an 'innocent' in his and Hiyasu's fight. He looked over to where Sasuke was and saw the boy almost dead on his feet with his Sharingan active in both eyes two tomae in his left eye and one in the right. He walked over to Chocho's prison.
"Cho-chan... I'm sorry," said Naruto shedding tears.
"I'm sorry got your loss, but I couldn't leave my sister alone in the world," said Hiyasu looking down in shame.
"We knew the risks coming into this battle!" said the blonde fighting his tears, "but I can't let it go!"
"Demonic Ice Release: Freedom," said Haku as she raised her shaking hand and thawed the ice out.
"Chocho!" yelled Naruto pulling the shivering girl into his arms.
"I-it's Al-alright Naru-chan. I-i'm alive s-so-somehow," said Chocho.
"I had no desire to kill her. Only you. Had that attack hit you you would be dead from your injuries alone," said Hiyasu.
"My brother takes no pleasure in killing anyone who doesn't desire it or fights back. When he and Naruto-san fought one on one his entire focus was Naruto-san," said Haku.
"But why?" asked Naruto.
"Please listen to my story and understand our pain," said Hiyasu
Not after the things my father did to her and my mother. He still remembered his mother's pained screams as several men took turns on her. He remembered Haku's muffled cries. He remembered being forced by his father to take a turn on both Haku and his mother as he himself was volatilied. He remembered when they took him from the house so that they could take their sweet time with Haku as they had killed his mother days prior. He remembered the all consuming hate and rage he felt as it boiled over and he formed his first sword, before slaughtering every man there. He remembered coming back to their home tainted in blood red ice. They lived the next few months on the streets, before they were found by Zabuza and trained.
Naruto and Chocho felt for the duo. They had lived in pain, but nothing like that. Soon the mist cleared as Zabuza stood there broken arms, while kakashi had a gash across his chest. Anko herself looked fine, but she was low on chakra. Soon clapping could be heard on the bridge. Veryone turned to see Gato standing there. Behind him no less then 200 bandits and mercenaries.
"Some demon you turned out to be Zabuza! More like a baby demon if you ask me. Beaten by a bunch of kids. It's a good thing that your so weak right. One of these bandits can kill you!" laughed Gato.
"Hey Kakashi it looks like our fight is over," said Zabuza.
"That it does. So how should we take care of this?" asked Kakashi.
Gato looked around at the women with lustful looks. "Kill the men and capture the girls. They'll make wonderful pets or good parts to the new actuion house that we're going to open up," leered the man.
Anko smirked. The bastard just signed his own death warrant.
Naruto walked forward. "Hey Kakashi-san!" yelled Naruto.
"Yes?" asked Kakashi.
"What was Zabuza's kill record?" asked Naruto.
"It was 100," said Kakashi.
Naruto flexed his hand. "Then I'm going to beat it here today," said Naruto.
"Not in this life kid. Even with two broken arms I's still the Demon of the Bloody Mist," said Zabuza as he ripped off the bandages. "Hey woman throw me a kunai.
Anko did as asked, before she lead the charged. She summoned several snakes as Mitsuki followed behind her with his katana drawn. Kakashi, Naruto, and Zabuza all managed to get their pound of flesh from their enemies. The coup de gras came when Naruto of all people managed to get to Gato and wrap him in his wires, before setting him on fire. His screams of pain echoed though out the battlefield making everyone stop what they were doing. The next five minutes would go down in Wave's History as the Liberation of the Great Kaiza Bridge with a statue of Team Six and Seven being held as Heros.
Location: Wave/Fire Country boarder
Place: just across the newly named Great Kaiza Bridge
Time: 1200 (Friday-two weeks later)
After almost three weeks the bridge was finished. The Shinobi were on the other side of the bridge. All of them were healed up. Ready to head out. The team from Konoha turned northwest while Zabuza and company turned east towards water country.
"Are you sure that you don't want to come with us?" asked Naruto as he stood next to Haku and Hiyasu.
Haku smiled at Naruto. "We appropriate the thought Naruto-san, but we've been away from our home country for to long," said the female Ice user.
"Not only that but the entire country is falling into war. Its bigger then just the Mizukage. It's the Daimyo as well. The Revolutionary army is on the verge of winning and they need our help. We will fight for equaility in our country," said Hiyasu.
Naruto nodded. "You do what you got to do," said Naruto.
As the trio parted ways Naruto was stopped by Hiyasu calling his name. Naruto turned to Hiyasu.
"Should we ever meet on the battlefield again... It won't end in a draw," said Hiyasu.
Naruto smirked. "I don't plan on sitting on my ass. You had me dead to rights. The next time we meet on the field of battle your going to die.
Hiyasu smirked. "I look forward to that battle Uzumaki," said Hiyasu.
The duo turned from each other looking in different directions. It would be years before they met again be it as allies or enemies. Their future set on a collision course. On that day a legendary rivalry the likes of which were only in the leauge of...
