I Don't Own Naruto
"Would you like a hand Haku-Chan?" questioned Naruto smiling at the girl.
"If you don't mind and by the way I'm a boy" declared Haku getting a deadpan look from Naruto.
"What?" questioned Haku.
"You being a boy is as believable to me as declaring the sky is pink" said Naruto before bending down and picking one of the herbs handing it to Haku who looked at him strangely.
"Please Haku-chan I can smell the scent of a female coming from you but more incriminatingly I can see the bandages you're using to bind your chest" declared Naruto making the girl hug her chest area tight until she realised there was no way he would be able to see the bindings.
"And you acted like that" declared Naruto smirking when Haku looked at his face, a blush spread across her face as she realised she'd been caught.
"Don't worry Haku-chan your secret is safe with me" said Naruto with a gentle smile.
"Thank you um…" said Haku trailing off once she realised she didn't know his name.
"Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki Yuki" said Naruto, making Haku's eyes widen.
"Y-Yuki?" questioned Haku timidly, Naruto nodded only to have Haku launch herself at him crying.
"What, what is it?" questioned Naruto holding the now shaking girl.
"Family, I actually have family left in this world" said the girl trembling, making Naruto's eyes widen as he hugged the girl, Naruto quickly formed a pair of clones to continue the herb colleting while he hugged Haku as she cried into his chest. The two just stood there as Haku cried Naruto whispering words of comfort as she cried.
As Haku's cries wound down to the occasional sob she stepped back from Naruto who simply smiled at her.
"Better?" questioned Naruto getting a nod from the girl she was shocked when she was tapped on the shoulder before she turned to see a pair of clones put enough of the herb she was looking for into her basket to fill it up and then some.
"Make sure Zabuza gets better Haku because now I know my kinsman is involved I will move heaven and earth to make sure your safe even if that means killing Zabuza" declared Naruto making Haku turn back to him only to find him gone. Haku turned and walked out of the clearing feeling conflicted.
#With Naruto#
Naruto walked back into the clearing where he and Fuu had slept the night before to find Fuu awake leaning on the clone with a smile. As Naruto walked into the clearing Fuu looked up confused but then realisation hit her one of them was a clone, before she could ask which Naruto the real one spoke.
"Go get Kakashi and Asuma and tell them I need to talk with them" said Naruto, the clone jumped up nodding before running out of the clearing. Naruto walked over to Fuu and gently pulled her to her feet.
"Come on Imoto we need to get back" said Naruto gently pulling Fuu out of the clearing the girl simply followed.
The two walked back to their team's clearing in silence, Naruto had a look of seriousness on his face Fuu just looked at the boy worried.
When the two walked into the clearing they saw Asuma and Kakashi looking at them.
"Ok Naruto what is it now?" questioned Asuma.
"Zabuza is alive" declared Naruto shocking both Jonin.
"How do you know this?" questioned Kakashi.
"I met the hunter nin in the forest earlier which leads into my next point which you need to tell your team too Asuma if any serious injury befalls her inflicted by one of you, Konoha ninja or not I will murder you in the slowest possible way" declared Naruto glaring daggers at the other ninja, Kakashi raised a brow, Asuma narrowed his eyes Hinata and Kiba both looked terrified.
"And why is that Genin" said Asuma stressing the blonds rank.
"She is a Yuki my kinsman" growled Naruto shocking all of the ninja, Hinata, Fuu and Kiba scared of him growling along with the declaration the jonin at the declaration.
Naruto then turned around and walked to the edge of the clearing.
"Where are you going?" questioned Kakashi.
"I have seals to perfect and a rematch with Zabuza to prepare for" declared Naruto walking out of the clearing as an ice clone formed walking back to Fuu.
"Come on Fuu-chan we have training to do" declared the clone.
"I'm not sure it's a good idea to let him go off on his own Kakashi" said Asuma looking towards Naruto's disappearing form.
"I know you go back to your team and I'll tend to mine" said Kakashi, Asuma nodded and walked out of the clearing to give a warning to his team. Kakashi on the other hand created a clone to send after Naruto while he trained Kiba and Hinata.
#With Naruto#
Naruto was sitting against a tree with a scroll open next to him with ink and a brush on the other side and a book in his lap with a pencil in hand, Naruto looked to the scroll on his left then back at his book.
"That looks about right ok time to test it" muttered Naruto putting the book and pencil down before putting the brush into the ink pot before drawing the seal from the page in his book on the palm of his hand.
Kakashi's clone who sat in a tree above Naruto watched closely as the boy painted his skin, once the seal was done Naruto formed a kunai out of ice which he used to slice into the skin of his leg a bit, the clone was about to jump in and stop Naruto when the hand that had the seal painted on it was already covered in green chakra hovering over the cut sealing it up once more. After a second the cut was completely healed Kakashi watched on as Naruto stood up and walked to a nearby tree and slammed his closed fist straight into it snapping and uprooting the tree and sending it back ten feet uprooting a second tree in the process.
"Damn it still not right" muttered Naruto taking his seat back against the tree with his pencil in hand and book on his lap.
"Not right? You have got to be joking what's he hoping to do?" mentally questioned Kakashi as he watched Naruto once more get up walking over to a tree slamming his fist into it once more snapping and uprooting the tree launching it twenty feet snapping a tree behind the first and slightly uprooting a second one.
"Still not right Damn it" growled Naruto slamming his hand into the ground creating a ten foot wide spider web crack in the ground.
"Just what are you hoping to achieve Naruto?" thought Kakashi looking down at his student who was once more trying to fix the seal to do whatever he had planned to do.
"Alright this has got to be it" muttered Naruto standing up once more this time Naruto closed his eyes, after a second his eyes snapped open and he ran forwards slamming his fist once more into a tree which snapped into two parts with the lower half being uprooted and sent forwards hitting a pair of trees behind it snapping them while shattering the first two halves while the second four halves into another set of trees uprooting them while the second set of halves shattered into splinters.
It was at this point it finally dawned on Kakashi…
"Wait that looked like Tsunade-sama's strength technique" said Kakashi out loud without even thinking.
"Yes Kakashi-sensei it's supposed to" said Naruto without even turning to face the man, the silver haired clone dropped to the ground
"So you've recreated Tsunade-sama's technique with seals?" questioned Kakashi getting a head shake from the young blond.
"No I've just recreated her technique the seals are to make my control precise enough to pull it off" declared Naruto looking at the seal on his palm trying to work out what tattoo he could use to hide the seal.
"How did you do it?" questioned Kakashi's clone.
"I can't tell you Kakashi it's bad enough I put in so much effort to mimic her technique let alone allowing someone else to do the same" said Naruto, Kakashi nodded it did make sense but the question did really remain just how did Naruto manage to copy Tsunade's strength Technique so well. Kakashi was brought out of his thoughts when he heard something being unsealed; Kakashi looked to see Naruto holding a bow. With a flash of ice an arrow of ice formed and Naruto had pulled the arrow back and let it fly before Kakashi could even blink. Kakashi blinked a couple of times before raising a brow.
"What?" questioned Naruto catching Kakashi's raised brow from the corner of his eye.
"You've just created a super strength jutsu and yet moved straight onto practicing with a bow" said Kakashi.
"The super strength is more of a last resort while I plan to use my bow to full potential in my fight against Zabuza" declared Naruto.
"That's if we let you" said Kakashi, Naruto turned to the Kakashi clone his eyes glowing silver with rage.
"Kakashi-sensei this is no longer just about the client to me I have to be the one to face Zabuza if you want to be right behind me to take over if I get knocked out but I am the one who is going to fight him first" declared Naruto, Kakashi said nothing, Naruto took that as the conversation was over.
#The Next Day#
Naruto and his team were now guarding Tazuna on the bridge… well his team were he was preparing the bridge for the inevitable battle to come.
"So just one more time kid with this the bridge won't be able to be blown up?" questioned Tazuna looking down at Naruto who was carving a seal into the bridge surface.
"Yes and No, the bridge won't be completely immune to explosions but most explosions power should be lowered to the point that it does at best minimal damage to the surface, however should the need arise the underside of the bridge is still very much able to explode so if bandits or something are coming you can simply blow the bridge to stop them" declared Naruto. Tazuna nodded to Naruto.
"Now again why are you doing this?" questioned Tazuna.
"Because Zabuza is alive and I plan to fight him and the fight will more than likely end up on this bridge one way or another and given my own fondness of explosives it would be best to protect the bridge from any possible crossfire" declared Naruto as he channelled futon chakra to his finger to carve into the brick to actually create the seal.
"Tazuna" came a voice from behind the old bridge builder, the old man turned to see a middle aged man looking very scared.
"Yes Ryoku what is it?" questioned Tazuna looking concerned.
"I'm sorry Tazuna but I just can't do this I fear for my family and I-" said the man stopping when Tazuna held up his hand.
"I get it thanks for all the work you did just go and stay safe my friend" said Tazuna as the man nodded and left his tools before leaving the bridge and heading back into town. Tazuna sighed as he watched the man leave.
"How often is that happening?" questioned Naruto.
"More often than I'd like" declared Tazuna, Naruto nodded and made a single hand sign.
"Kage Bunshin No Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu)" called Naruto a large cloud of smoke erupting around the man.
"They may not be the best at building but they'll help in any way they can" declared Naruto, Tazuna just looked on in shock as the two hundred clones of the boy looked to him for orders.
"Keep in mind only I can make this many and only on the days I'm guarding you but they should help you complete the bridge sooner" declared Naruto.
