I Don't Own Naruto
Naruto awoke from his position in a tree above Tazuna's house to the sounds of screams. Naruto looked down from his perch to see Tsunami being dragged out of her home by a pair of bandits while Inari was yelling at them, Naruto rolled his eyes the little brat had changed since the night he and Fuu stormed out, Naruto was sure that someone had shared some of his past with the boy making him realise he didn't really have a reason to whine. Naruto narrowed his eyes when the bandits pushed Inari away from them before the kid picked up a knife and was about to charge at the bandits.
"You stupid little brat" muttered Naruto pulling his bow off his back before forming a pair of arrows of ice and launching them at the two bandits heads, neither man saw it coming and in the blink of an eye both men fell to the ground dead, Naruto dropped from the tree to see Tsunami hugging Inari tightly.
"Th-thank you Naruto-san" said Tsunami with a smile to the boy who flashed through hand signs.
"Kōri Bunshin No Jutsu (Ice Clone Jutsu)" said Naruto the around them freezing into two clones.
"Go back inside lock your doors and if you hear a knock send one of these two to answer it" declared Naruto taking off before either Tsunami or Inari could make a comment.
"I hope I'm not too late" thought Naruto to himself as he rushed towards the bridge, the plan had been for both teams to go to the bridge and confront Zabuza and Haku, Asuma and Kakashi waiting in the wings to take over from Naruto should Zabuza defeat him while the rest of the genin were split between guarding Tazuna and stalling Haku, Naruto having worked out from the injuries he'd given Zabuza and the herbs around the island how long it would take Zabuza to be up and about.
"I can still feel all of the chakra signatures" declared Akane from within Naruto's mind.
"Akane-Chan, Thank Kami you're ok" thought Naruto.
"Why wouldn't I be?" questioned the woman.
"You didn't speak to me at all for the last couple of days I thought something had happened" replied Naruto.
"Sorry just had a lot on my mind, besides you could have come in and checked for yourself" replied Akane.
"I was going to come in later today if you hadn't spoken to me I was really worried" said Naruto, unknown to him a blush spread over the Biju's face as she cut the mental link.
Naruto burst through the tree line landing on the bridge, but before he could take note of anything he was engulfed in smoke then he felt a lot of pain all over enough to make him black out and collapse to the ground.
"NARUTO" screamed a voice as the blond fell to the ground.
#Several Minutes Earlier On The Bridge#
Sasuke wasn't having a good day he like everyone else had arrived at the bridge and much to his annoyance Kakashi and Asuma stepped into take on Zabuza so Sasuke was left with everyone else he declared he'd face the fake hunter nin alone his plan being to kill her then kill Naruto for hurting his Uchiha pride but when he had jumped in to attack Haku she had countered his every move and now he was trapped in a set of ice mirrors he couldn't melt with his Katon Jutsu, and unfortunately there was nothing nearby to substitute with to get out of the mirrors the only upside he had awakened his Sharingan.
"Please just give up now I do not wish to kill you" declared the girl from within her mirror.
"Well too bad because I'm going to kill you" declared Sasuke.
"Very well" said Haku with a sad sigh before she shot out of her mirror launching senbon at Sasuke she wasn't really going to kill him just put him in a death like state like she did with Zabuza but he didn't know that.
Sasuke who saw the needles coming at him curse himself he couldn't move fast enough to get out of the way however thanks to his newly acquired eyes he saw Naruto burst through the tree line.
"Ha perfect you'll serve me some use yet dobe the needles will kill you then I'll kill her" thought Sasuke as he quickly kneaded the chakra required for a Kawarimi and then switched places with Naruto.
Haku watched on in horror as Sasuke was replaced with Naruto in a plume of smoke and he was in such a position that her needles might actually kill him, the needles pierced his skin and he fell to the ground his eyes closed.
"NARUTO" screamed Haku jumping out of her mirrors to rush to the boys side however as soon as she was out of a mirror she felt a presence behind her and turned to see a smirking Uchiha already going through hand signs.
"YOU" growled Haku getting ready to charge the Uchiha only to be beaten to the punch by a Mocha, White and Green blur slamming a fist into the Uchiha's gut launching the boy into the air where he was met with a pair of drill like blurs who slammed him into the ground rendering the Uchiha unconscious.
"YOU FUCKING BASTARD" growled Fuu kicking Sasuke in the gut while he was down.
Haku seeing the Uchiha taken care of ripped off her mask before she turned around and pulled Naruto's head into her lap and began removing the needles from the boy's body.
"What are you doing?" questioned the angry voice of Fuu from behind Haku.
"Removing the needles hopefully Naruto is still alive" said Haku once more carefully taking the needles out of Naruto.
"But you were going to kill Sasuke how would Naruto still be alive?" questioned Kiba narrowing his eyes at the ice wielding kunoichi.
"I wasn't going to kill the Uchiha I was going to put him in a death like state but him substituting with Naruto may have actually killed him" declared Haku.
"Why should we trust you?" questioned Fuu glaring down at Haku.
"He is from my clan the last of my family in this world I could never hurt him even if we don't know each other that well" declared Haku pulling another needle out of Naruto carefully, both Kiba and Fuu narrowed their eyes at the girl before Fuu knelt down next to her.
"How can I help?" questioned the mint haired girl.
"Gently pull the needles out one at a time" said Haku not really concentrating on the other girl, Fuu nodded and joined Haku gently pulling needles out of Naruto's skin, Kiba stood back with Akamaru sitting atop the boy's head both watching for any sudden movements.
It took about three minutes for the two girls to pull the needles out of Naruto, as soon as the last needle was pulled out of his skin Naruto shot up into a seated position and looked around for a moment before he noticed he was on the ground with a mask less Haku behind him and a smiling Fuu next to him.
"Naruto-kun/Nii" called Haku and Fuu respectively hugging Naruto who simply wrapped an arm around them both. However a second later Naruto noticed the mist on the bridge began to clear.
"Sorry you two but things need to be done" said Naruto substituting with a nearby log before bolting for the end of the bridge quickly followed by Kiba, then Fuu and Haku. As the four of them ran a voice rang out through the clearing mist.
"Yes Yes Kill him" declared the voice.
"GATO" roared the familiar voice of Zabuza.
"It seems the daemon of the hidden mist is nothing more than a title Zabuza luckily I never intended to pay you I hired all of these men for the same amount I'm paying you" declared a short fat midget in a suit as the four genin appeared on the end of the bridge.
"Well it looks like we're no longer enemies Kakashi" said Zabuza looking to the Jonin before spotting Naruto with Haku.
"You took your sweet time Brat" declared Zabuza looking at Naruto before Kakashi could respond to his previous comment.
"Yes I had been spending the last few days preparing to face you and stayed up a little too late last night but I guess now I can use all of that training to get rid of this mob" said Naruto nodding his head to the mob around Gato. Naruto then pulled his bow off his back before stomping on the handle of Zabuza's sword before kicking it to Zabuza who had been freed from Kakashi's dogs, Naruto then bolted down the bridge towards the mob, Zabuza appearing beside him a moment later.
Naruto kicked off the bridge looking like he was jumping over the side of the bridge however a small sheet of ice formed mid-air which Naruto kicked off flipping upside down pulling three arrows out of his quiver.
Pulling the arrows back Naruto let the three projectiles fly shooting towards the mob. All three arrows nailed a different bandit in the head, however Naruto had a little surprise in store.
"BOOM BITCH" yelled Naruto and like that all three arrows exploded like a supercharged explosive tag, Naruto flipped and landed on his feet the other side and just behind Zabuza who not to be shown up leapt into the air and went flying into the mob of bandits and began slicing and dicing them as they all stabbed their weapons into the daemon trying to kill him, Naruto followed the trail Zabuza laid down his own giant blade in his hands as he cleaved his way through the left over bandits.
As Naruto and Zabuza cleaved their way through the bandits Gato got more and more sacred and as Zabuza broke the last line of bandits Gato saw Naruto jump onto Zabuza's back before jumping over the swordsman and the business man and as if it was planned Naruto once more created a sheet of ice in mid-air and kicked off it into Gato's back launching the man into Zabuza's blade swing.
"Hey they just killed out meal ticket" said one of the bandits.
Hearing that Naruto bit his thumb and ran the bloodied digit along his kitsune tattoo before slamming his hand into the ground creating a huge plume of smoke appear.
Once the smoke cleared a four tailed Kitsune was revealed it was black in colour and about the size of a horse.
"Shadow these bandits are all yours" said Naruto dismissively as the Kitsune's maw split into a grin before he took off tearing through the bandits.
Once Zabuza saw the bandits were taken care of he dropped to the ground ad blood poured out of his body through the many wounds.
"Zabuza" said Naruto looking down at the heavily bleeding man.
"Kid I'm a gonner but *cough* before I go I want you to pr*cough Cough*promise me something" said Zabuza
"What is it Zabuza?" questioned Naruto.
"Haku *cough* look after her" wheezed the dying man, Naruto nodded to the downed swordsman.
"*Cough Cough* take my sword kid" said Zabuza weakly lifting his sword to Naruto who leaned down and took the blade before after a second the blade vanished in a puff of smoke as Naruto sealed it away.
"ZABUZA-SAMA" screamed Haku as she saw her master on the ground dying, Naruto stepped back to let the girl who skidded to a halt cry for her downed master.
"Ha*Cough Cough*ku live well my *Cough Cough* daughter" said Zabuza before his head lulled to the side as the light left his eyes and the man lived no more.
"Tou *Sniff*S-s-s-san" muttered Haku as tears began to form in her eyes, Naruto stepped closer and put a comforting hand on Haku's shoulder. Haku looked up at him in surprize before she quickly launched herself at Naruto latching onto him as she cried her eyes out on his shirt, Naruto just smiled sadly as he hugged the girl.
The daemon of the mist was dead.
