I do not own 'Naruto'
C-Rank Mission
Ever sense Naruto changed his training was upped. He didn't mind, in fact he was happy. His progress was what most considered genius. Naruto however wouldn't take that kind of credit. He gave credit to his sensei and his 'long time companion'.
They never questioned Naruto on his change after that. They didn't care, they trusted him.
They also trained him in stuff outside of combat. Hana was happy to finally have something to train Naruto in. His newly heightened senses, it was perfect for her. There were basic manners and politics taught by Kurenai. To his misery there was human anatomy by Anko and basic sealing. Yugao taught Naruto about a lot of the village's laws. Ever since he learned Genjutsu his pranks have increased.
Naruto's relationship with his sensei has also been amazing. They kept it mostly a secret from the general populace to avoid the hate. Kiba kept silent so many wouldn't know that he was dating Hana. They would keep each other company in public, though he kept his Henge on.
He also kept his blindfold on to help him with his sensing. He had improved greatly without a proper teacher.
The Hokage was aware of his new changes and abilities. At first he nearly had a heart attack, much to the fox's delight. Naruto made him promise to keep it a secret until he was ready to reveal it.
However neither the Hokage nor his sensei's knew of the fear collecting. They also didn't that he was receiving extra training from the fox. They were some of the few people he didn't want fear from.
When he wasn't with 'The Mistresses' or 'Ice Queens' as the male populace named them he kept busy.
He often trained with team 9. TenTen and Lee were very fond of Naruto, the Hyuga was another story.
Neji seemed to think Naruto was a weakling. He tried to challenge Naruto to a fight, often insulting him. Naruto would just ignore him and act as if the Hyuga was beneath him. He often thanked his sensei for teaching him to control his emotions.
Even when he slept he was busy. He would often spend this time with Kyuubi. The fox had taught Naruto a lot of Genjutsu; even taught him a bit of kenjutsu. When he awoke he instantly started training in everything. I love clones.
The fox taught Naruto more about his new bloodline. The more fear he gathered the more powerful both would become. His illusions would become stronger and more realistic to the victim and he would also become stronger and faster. If he looked someone in the eyes he could find their worst fears. However he could only use fox Genjutsu with Kyuubi's chakra. When he gathered enough he could use his skill without limit.
When he wasn't training himself he trained the Konohamaru corps. He hadn't taught them any jutsu. He did help increase their speed, stamina and stealth. They were now physically better than Sakura.
They had collected a lot of fear but nowhere near enough. He needed to gather true despair.
Training wasn't all he did. When with his Himes he would relax. Often giving them massages or taking them on dates.
There was however a major downer in his happiness.
"Naruto Baka" screamed Sakura "Pay attention"
His team; and he used that title loosely. They were no team of his. If any his would be team 9 minus Neji.
Naruto had to deal with his team's insults and constant ridicule. His sensei would ignore it and him. He has also neglected to teach Naruto anything often favoring the Uchiha. Sakura just sat on the sidelines doing nothing but praising Sasuke and ridiculing Naruto.
Not that he showed much.
He held everything back during their 'team bonding' exercise and training. He would bide his time. To show them what I can really do. He couldn't wait. He even continued his sensor training not even putting a Genjutsu over the blindfold.
"Alright what mission do you want today?" asked their leader "We have babysitting, gardening, catching To-"
"Please don't say that cat's name" begged Naruto "can't we get a real mission, not these chores."
"Naruto you are still fresh Genin!" ranted Iruka "Taking a higher mission will require months of experience and-Hey are you listening?"
"OLD MAN" shouted Naruto "IF I DON'T GET A REAL MISSION I'LL TEACH YOUR PAPER TO MULTIPLY!"
The Hokage paled at the threat. He was sure Naruto could and would do it.
"Naruto" spoke an uncaring Kakashi "you shouldn't threaten your superiors."
"Especially one a dobe like you couldn't go through with." Spoke the arrogant Uchiha
"Hokage-Sama" spoke Naruto in a lower tone "I've already taught the paper Shadow clone JUTSU"
Looking at his desk everyone noticed that the paper had multiplied. It was so much that the stacks couldn't keep balance. They soon fell over and he couldn't tell which he finished and which he still had to do.
"IRUKA GET THEM AN S-RANK MISSION" ordered the village leader "GET IT NOW OR ELSE…" he was cut off
"HOKAGE-SAMA!" shouted the Chunin in disbelief "THEY ARE GENIN!"
"R-right" the old leader agreed "I-I lost my head for a second, I have a C-ranked." He stated "Send in the bridge builder"
At his order an old man walked in. He seemed to be drunk and continued to drink sake. He eyed the Genin.
"These are the snot nosed brats who are supposed to watch me?" he asked "they look like they'll wet themselves and run at the first sign of danger." He eyed them closely "Especially the short, blonde one"
Everyone was surprised when they didn't have to restrain Naruto. He simply looked at the client and stated…
"We are Shinobi, we are meant to be deceiving." He used his best Anko smile "but if you want sinister then just say so."
The minute he saw Naruto's smile he nearly wet himself. Many of the occupants felt the same way.
"N-no thanks" he readjusted himself "I'm the super bridge builder Tazuna; you are to protect me with your lives."
"Don't worry Tazuna-san" stated Kakashi "I'm a jounin and Sasuke here is my best student. We can handle anything."
Naruto and the Hokage frowned at the statement. It was the sign of a teacher playing favorites. I'll have to have a talk with Kakashi.
"Alright Team 7" called the Hokage "You leave for your mission in an hour so go prepare." They left "Wait Naruto!" he called "The papers are still multiplying."
It was too late, Naruto was already gone.
"Iruka help" the aged leader begged.
Iruka looked as the number papers grew and grew by the second. It was truly maddening. He didn't want a part in it. I wonder how Anko is doing. With that thought he decided to go for a walk, a long walk.
It had only taken Naruto ten minutes to prepare for his mission. He had already prepared a scroll of all he needed.
An hour later they were in front of the gate.
"Well it looks like the dobe forgot to pack" chided Sasuke
"Baka now we have to wait for you to go pack" added the Uchiha's pet
"Actually I have everything sealed away" stated Naruto showing the scroll "Keeps me from caring a bulky bag everywhere." He pointed to their bags. They couldn't think of a comeback for his statement.
"Naruto that's a bit advanced for a genin" stated Kakashi "where did you-"
"Who are you?" asked Naruto
"What do you mean?" asked Kakashi
"Your on time" spoke Sakura in disbelief
"…Just head out" He ordered on time once and they think I'm a stranger
The trip was mostly uneventful. They only thing interesting was that Naruto was silent.
"Hey baka why are you so quiet?" asked Sakura "If your thinking then don't you'll only hurt yourself."
He was about to respond when he saw a puddle.
"Kurenai-Chan would be so insulted if she saw that." He stated
"What are you talking about baka? Saw what?" asked Sakura louder than needed "and who is Kurenai?"
Everyone just ignored her.
As they passed the puddle two mist Shinobi jumped out. The duo made their way toward Kakashi surrounding him with their shuriken chained claw gauntlet. With a mighty pull they severed the jounin to pieces.
Sakura saw this and started screaming.
"One down" spoke the first
"More to go" finished the second
They ran for Tazuna but Naruto jumped in way to protect the client.
The closest struck with his claws into Naruto. With a mighty tug he disemboweled the blonde. The lifeless body collapsed as his innards fell to the ground.
They made their way toward Tazuna.
Only to be close lined by Kakashi. "The 'Demon Brothers', two chunin ranked mist ninja" With great speed he restrained both of them out and tied them up.
"Sensei" cried Sakura "you're alive?" she looked toward the 'body' only to see logs "you used replacement." She stated
"Yes but your friend died." Stated Tazuna pointing to the remains on Naruto
"Who cares about that dobe?" asked Sasuke "He only slowed me down"
"Yeah he only got in between me and Sasuke-kun" stated Sakura "He's better off dead."
"How can you allow them to speak like that of their team mate?" asked Tazuna "He died to protect me."
"He wasn't even an adequate Shinobi" stated the sensei "he won't be missed."
"It's nice to see what you think of me" stated Naruto's walking from behind a tree "My Team and Sensei."
"Dobe how are you alive?" howled Sasuke "We saw you get gutted."
Naruto said nothing. He just glared at them as walked toward his team. Good thing he had control or he might have sent them into a nightmare.
"Naruto baka you answer Sasuke-kun now?" Ordered Sakura "or else."
"Or else what Haruno?" he asked with such venom "you aren't even a threat to an academy student."
This caught every one, minus Tazuna, by surprise. Naruto never bad mouthed Sakura, even as he started acting strange.
In a moment of rage Sakura charged Naruto with a raised fist.
Naruto 'seeing' her attack simply back slapped her. The blow caught her across the face and knocked her a few feet across the ground. She sat on the ground in disbelief. She stared up at Naruto and even though she couldn't see his eyes she could feel them
"Enough is enough Sakura" he stated "I won't allow you to continue using me as a punching bag."
The others were in disbelief as well. Naruto had struck Sakura.
"Naruto that was un-called for" stated Kakashi "apologize now or I will have your license revoked."
"If you do then you will have Haruno punished" stated Naruto "she attacked me on a mission not including all of the other times she's struck me." He drew a kunai "In fact I could execute her right here and now without any repercussion."
"Y-you wouldn't do that to me w-would you Naruto-kun" she asked, that seemed to only make him angrier "Wait I'll go on a date with." She offered, he didn't even seem to think it over "Sensei make him stop." she begged running behind their teacher crying like a child.
"That is enough Naruto" stated Kakashi "Stand down or I will have your license revoked for abandoning the client."
This was met with a chuckle from Naruto
"I never abandoned the client" he stated "Tazuna come on out."
At his call another Tazuna appeared from behind one of the trees. It seemed the bridge builder was ready to make a run for it.
"You sure everything is safe?" he asked gaining a nod from Naruto "Good, glad that
"I could have your license revoked for abandoning the client and your students." stated Naruto backing Kakashi into a corner.
"How are their two of the client dobe?" asked the Uchiha as the Tazuna closest began to fade away
"I placed a Genjutsu on the area and hide the real Tazuna" he stated "I needed to know who they were after."
"Kid had me terrified the whole time" he stated
"I'm not going to kill you Haruno so stop crying" he ordered "I need you alive so I can continue the mission."
"Actually Naruto" started Kakashi hoping to get some revenge "Since these ninja are after Tazuna as you revealed we will have to cancel it, it's too dangerous."
"Nice work Baka" shouted Haruno after regaining herself "Now Sasuke-kun won't have a perfect record."
"No mission means I don't need you Haruno" that sent her back to begging and crying.
"Please" begged the bridge builder "Wave needs your help and…" he went on trying to guilt trip the team.
"Don't worry Tazuna-san" stated Naruto "we're going to complete the mission."
"That is my decision Naruto" stated Kakashi "not yours, this is a C-rank turned A-rank."
"If you don't want people to know your actions we will complete the mission." Stated Naruto
"Are you threatening me Genin?" he asked his rage at the boiling point "that is a grave offense"
"No I'm blackmailing you like a Shinobi" he stated "What was your motto again?"
"We will…continue the mission" Kakashi strained out
"Dobe where did you learn those illusions?" asked the Uchiha. Naruto made no attempt to answer "I demand you tell me."
Naruto just continued walking
Sasuke enraged at being ignored by the 'dobe' drew a kunai and tried to attack him. The key word is tried.
Somehow he was on the ground with the kunai gone. It was in Naruto's hand, which he had pointed at Sasuke's eye.
"Are you attacking me as well Uchiha?" Naruto asked knowing the question "maybe instead of killing you I'll just pluck an eye out." Collecting fear is becoming addicting he thought.
"Enough Naruto" shouted Kakashi "let's just continue the mission."
"One sec" the blonde "I need to collect my trophies"
"Well tell you nothing" one brother stated
"I don't need either of you" Naruto stated,
Raising his blind fold he stared the brothers in the eye. They looked back. A second later they were asleep.
Pulling out a scroll he sealed the mist nin claws inside.
"Kid what did you just do?" asked a Tazuna
"I knocked them out" stated Naruto holding the scroll "My girlfriend will love these weapons."
"Like a baka like-"she never finished
"I will end you" he simply stated cutting her off, and she believed him
The rest of the trip went without incident but was still agonizing. The Uchiha would demand his techniques while Haruno would cheer him on.
I sense a present thought Naruto There!
Drawing a kunai he threw it toward where he felt the signal. This put everyone on guard. He relished in their fear.
When he went to investigate he saw a white rabbit. This caused Sakura to start yelling again that color is out of season. Though Kakashi
"What are you doing?" asked Tazuna "Are you trying to going to give me a heart attack."
"I'm going to cook this rabbit up" Naruto stated "rabbit stew is amazing oh and you all might want to DODGE!"
At his words a large cleaver like sword came hurtling through the forest. The genin ducked to the ground while Kakashi brought Tazuna down.
The cleaver impaled itself into a tree. On top of the handle was the enemy. It was another Kiri Shinobi. This guy is giving off some powerful chakra, better drop my weights.
"Zabuza Momochi" stated Kakashi "Demon of the hidden mist"
"Kakashi Hatake the man who copied a thousand jutsus, no wonder the demon brothers lost" Zabuza returned "Hand over the bridge builder" the nin ordered then added "and the rabbit."
"This rabbit is going into my stew" stated Naruto "Get your own." Taking a minute to think "you can have the Haruno" he said "It's a fair trade, a harmless creature for a useless creature."
"…I think I'll stick with the rabbit."
"Enough" stated Kakashi "we won't be handing over the bridge builder."
"I see" he laughed "well let's begin."
Jumping away he landed in front of a lake.
Hidden Mist Jutsu
As its name said mist began to fill the area.
"Everyone, behind me" ordered Kakashi "Zabuza is a member of the 'Seven Swordsmen' and a master of the silent killing technique." He raised his head band and uncovered his eye "I'll need this."
A sharingan, how does sensei have that? Asked Sasuke
Well at least he can't copy my Genjutsu thought Naruto
"Eight point" came said master voice "Larynx, Spine, Lungs, Liver, Jugular, Sub-Clavian Artery, Kidney, Heart." He named "Which will I go for?"
As the mist became thicker the fear began to set in. It was getting to all the genin minus Naruto. One of his teachers cough Anko cough thought he should be ready for the killer intent of battle. That's it Zabuza make them nice and afraid. The Uchiha is about to slice himself.
Naruto then felt a chakra signature appear behind him.
Using the speed from all of his training he turned toward the signatures. He impaled Zabuza with a kunai.
However instead of blood he got water. The whole body just fell apart in a puddle. Water clone huh?
"That kid has some skill" complemented Zabuza
"Your fight is with me" stated Kakashi
(Canon fight but with water clone holding Kakashi) sorry but does anyone care?
"Run" shouted Kakashi "take Tazuna and get out of here, this fight was over when I was caught."
"And where would we go?" asked Naruto calmly "This guy would just find us and cut us down." As he spoke the area started filling with water clones.
"You should just leave the bridge builder" stated Zabuza "I have no time for kids playing ninja."
"This coming from a man pretending to be a demon?" taunted Naruto enraging Zabuza "Let me give you a taste of your own medicine"
Handing the rabbit to Tazuna he stepped forward onto the water.
"My own medicine?" Zabuza asked before laughing "What can a kid like you do? You've probably never even spilled blood."
"Do you think you're the only one who messes with the enemy senses?" he asked "The only one who induces fear."
He allowed his weights to drop so he could adjust. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a scroll and unsealed a sword.
The handle was average but the rest was anything but. The blade was crimson red. The guard was actually a fox head holding the blade between its teeth.
"Well that's an impressive sword" Zabuza complemented "but nothing out of the ordinary."
"Really?" asked Naruto "something sure smells good."
Realization hit everyone. The area was lightly filled with a sweet aroma. Zabuza tried to cover his bandaged nose but the smell got through.
"No use Zabuza" stated Naruto to an upside down Zabuza "welcome to the inverted world."
How is this kid upside down? He looked around before realizing he was the one upside down. How did I get upside down?
"This is the power of my Invert" he stated "I reverse ones sense of direction." He looked and saw his everyone else was affected before charging. (I DON'T OWN BLEACH)
"That is interesting" Zabuza stated "but not original"
Zabuza turned around, to face Naruto. He swung the blade toward the blond only for Naruto to disappear. A gash appeared on his arm a second later.
Naruto appeared upside down to his left where he swung. Naruto again vanished and a scar appeared on Zabuza's back.
This continued for a few moments as his team watched in disbelief.
How is that dobe doing something I can't do? Asked the so called avenger I deserve that power not him.
As Naruto continued to dance around Zabuza he felt something off. There was no fear coming from Zabuza.
He needed to end the fight.
Tightening his grip he charged forward and struck at Zabuza.
He brought his blade into range…
He struck…
He missed.
Zabuza had back stepped.
The rogue swordsman then swung his sword at Naruto. As the sword came in contact with Naruto, the blonde scattered in an explosion of black rose petals. They reformed into Naruto a large distance away.
As the blond stood there he covered his chest. He had been able to avoid a fatal blow, but not without some damage.
"Your good kid, but as I said unoriginal" complemented Zabuza "you only distort the sense of sight, it's been done." He stated "I however am a master of the silent killing technique; I can take you out with sound alone and you couldn't hide your footsteps."
Realization hit, He needed a new plan. He dropped the Invert technique and began to think.
Time to put my kenjutsu to the test He thought
"Let's go Zabuza" Taking the stance Yugao had him train in he prepared. "Let's see if a member of the 'Seven Swordsmen' is more than a title."
This kid is still willing to fight? Zabuza was impressed. "Let's, it'll be nice to cut down another swordsman."
Zabuza took a swing at Naruto who blocked. The blow was very heavy for the blonde but he managed. Giving a heave he barely pushed Zabuza's sword back giving a clear view of the older swordsmen's stomach.
Taking the open shot he jabbed his sword toward Zabuza. The demon swordsman merely sidestepped. He then swung and swatted the blond a few feet away with the side of his massive sword.
Naruto stood; he needed to stop Zabuza and fast.
Zabuza made the move, leaping forward he attempted a downward slash. Naruto quickly jumped back but Zabuza was persistent. He tried to defend but the blows were too heavy and getting heavier.
Zabuza delivered a kick that sent the blond tumbling back. While Naruto was off balance he went in for the kills.
He cleaved Naruto in half.
Naruto dispersed into black rose petals and let them scatter far and wide. While they held a distraction he reformed over head.
Coming down he intended to impale Zabuza through the head. The demon of the mist turned and with a massive swing cleaved through Naruto only to go up in smoke.
Crushing Snake Constriction Naruto activated. Thank you Anko
Zabuza couldn't move. He was being held by a snake, it began to squeeze him. More Genjutsu Pulsing his chakra it dispelled.
Naruto had already reached him.
Dance of the Crescent Moon
Using his clones he split into three different Naruto's. The first two charged from either side while the third disappeared.
As the first two came in range they each struck. Zabuza back paced and gutted the first which had tried to attack head on. Only for him to go up in smoke one down.
Raising his sword he blocked the second's strike. With another mighty swing he decapitated him. Only for them to go up in smoke as well where is he?
On cue the final Naruto came from above. He delivered a powerful cut toward Zabuza's torso. Before he could strike again he too was cut down.
As he looked around he saw no trace of Naruto. He looked toward the kid's team and smirked.
"It seems he ditched you" mocked Zabuza holding his wound "too bad, well whose next?" The other two grew terrified.
Before he could move toward them he was stopped. Looking toward his feet he saw vines holding him.
String Bean Binding Illusion
The vine continued to grow. They wrapped around Zabuza raising him into the air. They tightened themselves to restrict the victim's movement.
"Actually I was just setting this up" stated Naruto appearing from inside a giant bean pod. "What are you afraid of?" he asked as he began removing his blindfold.
Before he could do so completely Zabuza started dissolving into water. A water clone! When did he…?
"You were good" he spoke behind Naruto "but not good enough."
Raising his sword he slashed at Naruto. The wound was a large gash across the blonde's chest. Thanks to his high pain tolerance he could barely stand it. Okay, new plan
Standing to full height he summoned a clone. With an unspoken order the clone transformed into a windmill shuriken.
"A shuriken" he said "Impressive Henge but I'm tired of Genjutsu." he then took a ready stance "besides, you'll never touch me with it."
Naruto did his best to hide his smirk. The same mistake my Himes made.
Taking aim he threw the shuriken toward Zabuza. As it grew closer he casually leaned to the side. As the shuriken passed him it slightly cut his cheek.
That cut was enough.
That shuriken is real! He thought looking toward the direction it was heading he wasn't aiming for me.
He was aiming for the Water Clone
The real target was hit
The water clone was dispelled and Kakashi was free.
"I knew I couldn't beat you on my own so I freed someone who could" stated an exhausted Naruto "Now you two play nice" he stated before moving toward land.
The two jounin squared off.
They began circling each others.
"Well Zabuza" stated Kakashi "Let's see if you've got enough in you to continue."
They began weaving their hand signs.
Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu they shouted simultaneously.
From the water rose two giant water snakes. They toward above all present
Their attacks collided. It seemed that they were evenly matched. Kakashi will need an edge to win this.
They began weaving again. Now!
"Hey no-brows" he called drawing Zabuza's attention "Ha ha you looked." Taking a serious demeanor he called
Invert
Zabuza went wide eyed. Turning his body around, he aimed the jutsu behind him.
Water Style: Giant Vortex Jutsu
At nothing
Water Style: Giant Vortex Jutsu
Turning to the sound he saw Kakashi wasn't behind him. He was in fact to his side, too close for Zabuza to defend or dodge.
He took the hit head on.
The force behind the jutsu was too much. It carried the rouge nin all the way to land knocking him into a tree.
Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death
The tree seemed come alive as it wrapped around Zabuza. From the tree emerged Naruto as if he were a part of it. He loomed over Zabuza, kunai in hand.
"Surrender Zabuza" Naruto ordered "You've lost."
Zabuza struggled but didn't have the necessary energy. The 'Demon of the Mist' gave a glared worthy of his title at the blonde.
He stiffened as two senbon needles impaled his neck. Then the fallen nin went limp.
Looking toward the one whom through the needle he saw a masked figure. A hunter nin he remembered from his studies. The figure stood beside his team motioning for him to bring Zabuza forward.
He did so.
"Thank you for distracting him" the hunter nin stated "I've been tracking him for a while."
"No problem" replied Naruto calmly but on guard "you were here for awhile, why not aid us?" The figure stayed silent "I see"
"Naruto stop harassing the hunter nin" ordered Kakashi "hand Zabuza over."
"Bu…"
"That is an order genin."
"Do what your told baka" shrieked Sakura from behind their sensei
"All right" stated Naruto "don't blame me when this fake hunter nin kills us"
"Fake?" they asked as one
Grabbing Zabuza, the fake hunter nin disappeared in a Shunshin appearing behind Tazuna. The hunter nin then grabbed the rabbit and left again.
"No my rabbit stew!" wailed Naruto
"What happened?" asked Tazuna
"I was ordered to let the enemy live and ended up losing my chance at rabbit stew" Naruto stated "by the way Kakashi good night in 3…2…1" At the end their sensei collapsed.
"What did you do to Sensei?" asked Sakura "fix him now or…"
"They'll never find your body" he stated silencing her "now Tazuna is your house nearby?"
"Dobe I demand you…" he was silenced as well.
Sleep
The Uchiha was out like a light.
He put Haruno under as well. No real reason behind it. He just wanted her out. Could you blame him?
Twenty minutes later they were at Tazuna's house. They had sat Kakashi down in a room to rest. It turned out he just had a mild case of chakra exhaustion.
The next morning Naruto sensed a familiar chakra signature. Running to the door he saw one of the most beautiful faces ever.
"Hell my-hime" he greeted in Joy leaning in to kiss her.
