Authors Note: Hello everybody! I'm back with the final chapter for this month! Don't freak out, I'm still continuing this story, but it might be a while. I'm sorry I ended it on a cliff-hanger and I'm sorry that this chapter was short. I'll try to fix that the next time it's Naruto month. Anyways, onto the chapter!

Chapter 15: Zabuza Returns
When Naruto and Kurama got to Tazuna's house, they saw two buff looking men standing on the wooden bridge leading to the house. Tsunami was laying unconscious on the bridge while Inari stood at the other end of the bridge with tears in his eyes.
"What can a little brat like you do?" The first guy asked with a smirk on his face. "You're so small I bet you couldn't even pick up a pebble."
"That's not true!" Inari yelled with anger as he glared at the two men. "Give my mom back or else!"
"Or else what? You'll throw rocks at us? Oh wait, I forgot, you can't!" the second one mocked and the two laughed. Inari gritted his teeth with anger and charged at the two. This caused the two men to laugh even more and let down their guard. That was when Naruto took action.
Naruto jumped in between Inari and the two men causing Inari to skid to a halt and the two men to almost lose balance and choke on their laughter.
"Who the hell are you?" The second one asked with irritation as he glared at Naruto. "Is this another one of your 'I'm gonna beat you!' friends?"
"Yeah, but this time I'm actually going to beat you." Naruto replied as he glared at the two with disgust. The two rolled their eyes and muttered 'yeah right' to each other. Naruto just smirked. "Fire Style: Fire Dragon!" A huge dragon made of fire came from Naruto's mouth as he blew fire. The dragon shot towards the two men catching them off balance. They tried to dodge but they were too slow and ended up getting hit full on by the Jutsu and getting severe burns in the process. This caused them to pass out and the dragon disappeared.
"Wow..." Inari breathed out as he watched the two men fall to the ground covered in burns from head to toe. Naruto walked over to the two and tied them up with strong rope and double tied it just in case. He then stood up and walked back over to where Inari stood.
"Take your mom inside and keep an eye on these to." Naruto said and Inari nodded without a word still shocked from that powerful Jutsu Naruto showed. Naruto then bounded away with Kurama trailing behind him silently.
Kakashi stood on the bridge while Sakura sat on the side of the bridge with Sasuke standing beside her with his arms crossed.
"What do you mean you're quitting?" Tazuna asked one of his workers with a frown on his face. Kakashi glanced over at the two with a raised eyebrow.
"That's what I mean, I'm quitting. I refuse to work on this bridge because that Zabuza guy is going to show up soon!" The worker argued with anger in his voice. "I can't just stay here and risk dying when I have a family to go home to! So I quit!"
"Fine, have it your way then!" Tazuna yelled with anger causing the worker to flinch slightly. "Go home for all I care! Just know that you won't be getting any pay!"
The worker stormed off leaving Tazuna standing on the bridge. He rubbed his temples and let out a stressed sigh. kakashi walked over to where Tazuna stood.
"What was that about?" He asked with curiosity. It seemed that all of the workers were on edge, not just the one that had quit.
"My workers are quitting because they think that Zabuza will come and kill them off." Tazuna explained with another sigh. "If they keep quitting we'll never get this bridge finished."
Before Kakashi could say anything a heavy mist started to roll in and start to shield the bridge. Kakashi narrowed his eye and then realized a few seconds later that this was Zabuza's doing.
"Everyone! Get to a safe place! Zabuza is here!" Kakashi yelled and everyone instantly dropped what they were doing and ran as fast as they could to try and get off the bridge before Zabuza attacked. Tazuna stayed on the bridge though and only backed up a few steps. "Sakura! Sasuke! Keep Tazuna safe!"
Sakura and Sasuke both jumped in front of Tazuna to guard him and they both held a Kunai. Kakashi raised his headband and closed his eye. He then opened his other eye to show his Sharingan and that was when Zabuza appeared.
"Hello again Kakashi," Zabuza said casually as he walked out from the mist with that stranger following him.
"I knew that you were with him," Kakashi said as he glared at the stranger standing next to Zabuza with his mask still on.
"Yeah, Haku is kinda special," Zabuza said with a smirk behind his mask. "But you'll have to see that for yourself."
Sasuke shot forward and attacked Haku, surprising him a little. Haku recovered from his surprise though and started to fight Sasuke. Kakashi and Zabuza started fighting while Sakura stayed behind to protect Tazuna the best she could.
