I Don't Own Naruto
Naruto and Haku were in a clearing situated away from Tazuna's House, and the clearing that team 7 had claimed for their time in the wave. It had been two days since the battle on the bridge and since then Haku hadn't left Naruto's side she had been terrified of the other ninja taking revenge on her or something, the feeling had lessened of the past two days but it hadn't vanished entirely. Naruto had not trusted Sasuke in the same vicinity alone with Haku not trusting the arrogant Uchiha to either try and murder the girl or force himself upon her. As for why the two were in the clearing well…
"So what are you doing again?" questioned Haku looking at Naruto who was carving a seal into the ground.
"I am re-combining Samehada and Kubikiribocho to recreate the original blade" said Naruto concentrating on the task at hand of creating the seal.
"And you know how to combine them and even that they combine how?" questioned Haku leaning back against a tree.
"Because it was created by the Uzumaki clan as were all seven of the 'Seven Swords Of The Mist' in truth they were originally the 'Five Blades Of Uzushio', Kiri just stole the blades from Uzushio during their combined invasion, and not knowing that these blades were one and only the leader of the 'Five Gates of the Whirlpool' nor that the Kiba blades are just a pair of regular swords with a Raiton seal on them to convert any chakra put into them into Raiton Chakra" explained Naruto surprizing Haku.
"You sure do know a lot about Uzushio" said Haku.
"Well I should, I spent enough time there" said Naruto.
"But wait if Samehada and Kubikiribocho were originally one blade and you need a seal to put them back together how did they become two blades?" questioned Haku, Naruto smirked.
"Well from what I understand the 'Gate of the Centre' who wielded the blade if they were really at one with the blade it could show them how to split the blade into two and it was said that the blade supposedly was basically duplicated two smaller blades with the same powers as the original, however one wielder tried to teach the next chosen wielder how to do it but he failed. That failure intern split the blade into the two fragments here which the best seal masters in Uzushio then spent months even years on trying to reforge the blade and that's how this seal came to be they figured out how to remerge the blades but they were at war when it was finished so they had no time to reforge the blade" declared Naruto with a sad smile thinking of his fallen kinsmen.
"How do you even now about all of this?" questioned Haku.
"I was in Uzushio for months I gathered every book, scroll and journal of any and all Uzumaki so I found out many things from different Journals including some of people who immigrated to Uzushio like several members of the Yuki clan hence my Hyoton and Yuki blood, there were a few Kaguya, some Senju, a couple of Uchiha even a Hyuga or too they just left their villages for varying reasons some wanting to live peacefull life some married into the Uzumaki even some were just banished from their villages for various reasons" said Naruto before he put the two giant blades down on the seal Samehada on top of Kubikiribocho. Naruto stepped out of the seal making sure not to disturb the seal Naruto then knelt down next to the seal before channelling chakra to his fingers and slammed his hands down at the same time making the seal and two swords glow bright white. The light was so bright that Haku had to cover her eyes, Naruto however just channelled chakra to a seal next to his eye which darkened his vision making the bright light a normal brightness but everything else around him much darker and with his enhanced vision Naruto saw that both blades pulsed twice before slowly Samehada started to sink while Kubikiribocho rose up from the ground. Once the two blades merged into one the whole thing pulsed gold before the light died down and Naruto let the chakra dissipate from his eye seal and Haku uncovered her eyes. What they saw shouldn't have been that surprizing but it was, the blade had the basic shape of Kubikiribocho with scales like Samehada on the flats of the blade there was no hole in the middle of the tip of the blade nor was there a notch in the cutting edge of the blade, the handle of the blade was the same one that once belonged to Samehada, Naruto leant forwards and grasped the sword by the hilt.
"Samenikuya (Shark Butcher) is once more whole" said Naruto grinning.
"Thank you for bringing me together once more Naruto" came a male voice from inside Naruto's mind.
"So the legends were true you are a sentient blade" said Naruto looking at the sword in his hands.
"Yes I can however only speak through a mental link" declared Samenikuya. Naruto rolled the blade in his hand a couple of time before sheathing it in the large strap on his back.
"Naruto-Nii Haku-chan come on we have guard duty" yelled the voice of Fu walking into the clearing.
"Well time to go Haku" said Naruto offering the Yuki girl a hand, Haku blushed as she took his hand and he pulled her up.
#Several Days Later#
"And you lot are invited" said Tazuna standing in front of all of the ninja, the citizens of the wave had decided that to celebrate the finishing of the bridge along with a thank you for the Shinobi with a festival and Tazuna had just informed the ninja of it. Kakashi looked to Asuma who simply shrugged.
"Sure why not" declared Kakashi eye smiling.
"Great we hope to see all of you tonight" said Tazuna walking away to get ready himself.
"Well you heard him you lot" said Kakashi before he began walking away letting his genin get ready, Asuma left the genin alone too.
"Well Haku-chan would you like the honour of going to this festival with me?" questioned Sasuke stepping up to Haku reaching out to rub her face only for his wrist to be grabbed.
"Back off Uchiha" declared Naruto growling at the stuck up snob of a genin.
"Who are you to answer for her?" Snarled Sasuke glaring at Naruto.
"He's the person I will be going to the festival with" declared Haku, Naruto cast a backwards sideways glace at the girl before shrugging and glaring once more at the Uchiha squeezing his wrist Sasuke shook his hand free and walked away Fu, Kiba and Hinata watched the Uchiha leave with narrowed eyes, Naruto meanwhile had turned to Haku with a raised eyebrow.
"Did you mean what you said?" questioned Naruto looking at Haku.
"Yes you're the only guy I would go to this festival with" said Haku with a small blush on her face suddenly finding the ground very interesting.
"Haku" said Naruto Haku still looked at the ground.
"Haku look at me" said Naruto reaching out and tilting her head up making her look at him.
"I'd be happy to go to the festival with you" said Naruto with a smile Haku blushed and lunged forwards hugging Naruto.
"I suppose we should all split and get ready" said Kiba looking around getting a nod from all of the genin present.
#Later That Night#
Naruto stood in the clearing his team had claimed, he was wearing just his normal outfit not really having anything else to wear he had given Fuu a white zip up jumper with a fur collar that she had left unzipped as she too didn't have much else to wear Kiba and Hinata were both wearing the same outfits as normal as they hadn't packed good clothes, Kakashi and Asuma hadn't been seen since they were told about the festival, Choji and Shino like the rest of the genin wore their normal outfits having not packed anything else, all of the genin minus Sasuke who had already left were waiting in the clearing for Haku to show up the genin looked up when they heard someone approach, they were gobsmacked by what they saw. Haku walked into the clearing her long ebony hair tied into a bun with a pair of senbon keeping it in place however two bangs framed her face, however what shocked all of the ninja was her choice of clothing she wore a ruby red Kimono with lipstick to match as well as a pair of heels to also match keeping the kimono closed was a black obi sash, and tied to the sash was a mask styled to look like a cat.
"You look beautiful Haku-chan" said Naruto stepping forwards offering the girl a hand she took his hand with a blush which only deepened when Naruto lent forwards and planted a kiss on the back of her hand.
"We should probably head off" said Haku gently pulling her hand back, Naruto nodded and stood back before reaching out and taking her hand in his own. Naruto turned around and everyone had snapped out of their various stupors.
"Let's go everyone" said Naruto with a grin. The seven genin walked into the town, Naruto with Haku on one side and Fuu on the other he was watching over the both of them. Once the genin arrived in the village they all split up going their own ways except Haku Naruto and Fuu who stuck together well at least vaguely Naruto had many girls from the wave trying to get his attention be they younger then him or old enough to be his mother, however Naruto was with Haku for this festival so he ignored all of them.
When Naruto spotted a carnival game he walked over leaving Haku and Fuu talking by themselves, Naruto walked up to the booth.
"Yo hero of the wave what can I do for you?" questioned the man behind the counter.
"Three shots" said Naruto pulling out the money posted on the back of the carnival game, the guy handed Naruto three baseballs.
"Each bottle is worth ten points you knock all of them down your score is doubled" said the guy, Naruto nodded and tossed the baseball at the six stacked bottles knocking them all down making man behind the counter sweat slightly.
"Ok champ next lot" said the guy pointing to a second stack off bottles, once more Naruto knocked all the bottles down making the guy behind the counter go wide eyed before once more pointing to the next set of bottles which Naruto knocked all of them down once more shocking the guy behind the counter and making him pail 360 points was enough to get half the stuff in the stand.
"Relax buddy I only want the kabutomushi (Rhinoceros beetle) and the fox" said Naruto pointing to a green beetle looking stuffed animal and a three tailed white fox.
The stand owner sighed in relief and got Naruto the two stuffed animals once Naruto had the two stuffed animals he held them behind his back before walking back over to his sister and Haku.
"Fuu Haku hold your hands out and close your eyes" said Naruto as he walked forwards both girls raised an eyebrow before closing their eyes and putting their hands out as instructed, Naruto the put the kabutomushi in Fuu's hand before placing the Fox in Haku's both girls opened their eyes at the same time before their eyes widened.
"Naruto-kun" said Haku with a smile before she reached forwards and hugged Naruto with a smile and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek.
"Thankyou" said Haku pulling back.
