True Jinchuriki

Demons on the Bridge

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any other anime. If I owned Naruto, Sasuke would not have been the survivor of the Uchiha massacre.

The battles in the exam:

So far it seams that the fights are going to be canon. If you disapprove please send suggestions.

Hinata is currently winning the "who is Naruto with" poll. She is 5 votes ahead of the next most popular choice, harem.

I am considering starting another fanfic; this one would be less demon and more human Naruto fic. My idea is reasonably good I think, it'll be described at the end of this chapter.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto was lying asleep under a tree; he had been running around for more than a day, why were there no waterfalls in the country of waves?

Haku crept closer and drew his kunai; this boy was strong, dangerous.

He was ready to strike when the boy spoke, "what do you want?"

"You shouldn't be sleeping in the woods, bad people might find you." Haku quickly hid his weapon.

"What if I want them to find me?"

"Why would you want that?"

"So I can let off some frustration."

"Over what?"

"I can't find a waterfall."

"Why do you need a waterfall?"

"Training,"

"Oh."

"So, how is Zabuza-san?"

"What makes you think I know him?"

"I recognized your scent, you were the one who saved him, and you smell of his blood."

"You have a strong sense of smell."

"Most demons do"

Haku considered asking him what he meant, but he decided not to. "Zabuza-sama is doing better; he will be strong enough to fight soon."

"Good, I want him to be in fighting condition."

Haku was again tempted to ask what he meant, but changed his mind.

Naruto opened his eyes and sat up. "You look like a girl."

"I get that a lot."

"You look better than Sakura-san, that's disturbing."

"She wouldn't be happy to hear you say that."

"Good,"

"You dislike her?"

"She's a weak, lazy fan girl who only became a ninja to be near Sasugay-teme"

"You really dislike him."

"There are no words to describe that pompous, self-absorbed stooge."

"And your instructor?"

"He is a man in a bad position, because of me he had to pass those pathetic wannabes and now he has to do the nigh-impossible task of making them into shinobi."

"You have no respect for your teammates but you care about your instructor."

"He is like a brother to me; he is one of the only people I know who actually knew my father well. You never told me your name," Naruto said, changing the subject.

"I'm Haku, who was your father?"

"It's better to leave that unsaid, it is sufficient so say that he died soon after my birth and I never got the chance to know him."

"Sometimes that is better," Haku said sadly.

"Hmm, sometimes."

"I will see you later…I didn't catch your name."

"Uzumaki Naruto, it has been an interesting chat Haku-san."

"Until we meet again, Naruto-kun." Haku began to leave with his bag of healing herbs.

"Before you leave, remember; don't be too hasty when you come to fight Kakashi-sensei."

"Why?"

"Circumstances might change, you never know."

Haku was about to ask more but he realized that the strange boy was gone. "He's faster than me."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kakashi walked towards the bridge, he was upset, Zabuza might be up and ready to attack by now and all he had to rely on was a useless fan girl and a broody egomaniac. Things weren't looking to good for old Tazuna's chances.

"Hey, where's Naruto-san?" Sakura's voice came from behind him.

"He had something more important to do."

"I hired all of you to protect me, how does he have something more important to do than his job?"

"I don't know what it is, but he said that the Hokage asked him to do something while he was here that has higher priority than this mission."

"Higher priority than the livelihood of this country's people?"

"Higher priority than a C rank mission," Kakashi corrected.

Sasuke scowled, the dobe was getting solo missions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zabuza frowned as he waited for the arrival of the bridge builder and his guards. What had the boy meant by what he told Haku, and for that matter why did he not attack Haku? He wasn't foolish enough to think that this Genin hadn't been able to notice the presence of a weapon. So why?

"Zabuza-sama, they're here."

It could wait.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto was pissed, no, he was beyond pissed. He had arrived at his target's home to find him gone.

He had taken all the thugs too, no one to take out his frustration on.

So where was he?

His office was in his house, and that was vacant.

His bodyguards and thugs were gone.

Today was most likely the day of the attack by Zabuza.

…

Today was probably the day that Zabuza would try to kill the bridge builder.

Oh, shit.

Naruto ran, he ran, and he ran some more.

Then he heard it, a scream, cut short by what was most likely a punch to the face. A woman's scream, a woman he knew.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inari was freaking out, hi mom was being dragged away by two thugs, one of them was about to kill him, and he left the oven on!

The man holding Inari's mom fell down dead with a kunai in his spine.

The man who was attacking Inari was grabbed by the back of his neck and thrown head first into a tree.

Naruto retrieved his kunai.

"You killed them."

"I hope not, I nee information from that one."

"You fought Gatoh's men and won.

"Yeah, so?"

"You actually beat Gatoh's men."

"That's annoying, stop it."

Naruto proceeded to 'question' the captured man. This was a complex maneuver that involved a notebook, a pot of boiling water, seventeen needles and a large fish. Inari wasn't sure where he got the fish.

"Alright, Gatoh-san is going to the bridge."

"What! My grandpa is there!"

"And that's where I'm going."

Naruto was gone, running on the water with inhuman speed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto got to the bridge, it was misty, there were bodies everywhere, and he could smell his team and their opponents, he went towards Haku's fight.

Haku was fighting Sasuke and Sakura, he was winning.

Tazuna was hiding behind some building supplies.

Sasuke was covered with needles, Sakura was covered with needles.

Sakura looked at Sasuke, it was her fault. He was trying to protect her and he got hurt.

Sasuke's eye's had turned red and there were two commas-like marks in them.

Naruto calmly walked into the ring of mirrors.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Haku turned his head to look at the new arrival, there was blood on his cloths, and he was carrying something in a burlap sack.

No matter, he was foolish enough to get caught in the "Makyō Hyō Shō" (demonic ice mirrors)

He noticed that the two Genin he had been fighting had turned to look at Naruto.

"Naruto where were you? You left your team to do all the work for you and left Tazuna-san unprotected while we fight." Sakura cried.

"Where were you dobe, can't you even walk down a road without getting lost in the woods?"

"I had a minor chore to finish." With these words he jumped to stand on Sasuke's shoulders while bringing his free hand across his body. "Onitsume" he cried as he swung his hand in a backhand slash action, bloody red talons of chakra came from his hand completely shattering the ice dome in front of him and leaving a huge opening. He then jumped back directly behind Sasuke and Sakura and kicked them both through the opening.

"Your attacks are very powerful but you hit the wrong mirrors," Haku stated trying to keep the quiver out of his voice, not many people could shatter his mirrors that easily.

Naruto turned to look straight at the real Haku, "I wasn't aiming at you." With a jump he brought a fist forward and shattered both the mirror and Haku's mask.

Haku noticed him sniff slightly before attacking, "he found me by smell!"

"You don't need to keep fighting anymore."

"As long as Zabuza-sama keeps fighting, so will I."

"No, that's not what I meant…" Naruto had no time to finish, as Haku jumped to stop the attack aimed at Zabuza. "Oh, crap, not now!"

Just as the 'Chidori' was about to make contact with Haku's chest, It stopped. Naruto had jumped in the way and grabbed Kakashi's wrist.

"Naruto, what are you doing!" Kakashi yelled in rage.

"One moment Kakashi-sensei, he turned to look at Zabuza and Haku. "You two have no more reason to fight us."

"Sorry kid But our mission is to kill the old man, and yours is to protect him, we aren't stopping until our mission is done."

"You were hired by Gatoh-san?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Then your mission is done." Naruto said tossing the burlap sack to the 'Demon of the Bloody Mist'.

Zabuza reached into the sack and pulled out…a head, a severed human head.

A head wearing small sunglasses and sporting a fuzzy mustache.

"Gatoh-san, you've never looked better." The Nuke-nin said in a daze.

"Kakashi's eyes grew to the size of dinner plates, "Naruto-kun, you killed Gatoh."

"My employers are more wealthy then the people of the wave. They can afford an A rank assassination."

"The Hokage actually gave you an A rank mission, let alone an assassination?"

"No, the council requested that I take this mission, they felt that I was the best man for the job."

"Oh, that explains why they gave you an A rank mission."

The rest of the people in the area just looked shocked, except Sasuke who was brooding about how the council trusted Naruto with an A rank mission.

"I don't understand why would the council give an A rank mission to a Genin," Sakura said.

"They wouldn't, however the council doesn't like Naruto much, if they think that he will die during the mission, they would be more than willing to risk it." Kakashi answered.

"People just don't seem to understand us demons," Naruto said sadly turning to Zabuza.

"No, they don't, and apparently nether do I." Zabuza answered, "Why didn't you let Kakashi-san kill us?"

"Two reasons, one I have a business proposition for you, and two…you owe me a new shirt to replace the one you ruined during our last fight."

Mass facefault

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The group was watching over the bridge, there had been some weak stomachs, when they had found the rest of Gatoh's body. He had taken a group of thugs and come by boat to the unfinished part of the bridge where he was planning to kill anybody left standing when the fight was over. They stood no chance, whatever Naruto had done sliced the entire group into small bloody chunks.

Naruto was walking with Zabuza and Haku, "I have a dream, I want to find those like myself, those who were prosecuted for something that was beyond their control, who were mistreated and hated and I want to bring them together. I will create a place where we can live away from the prosecution that has followed us through our lives." He looked over to check if they were paying attention, they were. "I know that I can't do this alone, so I have decided to form an organization, a group of powerful people who know what it means to be hated. I want you to become the first members of this group."

"And if we refuse?" Zabuza was very straight forward about his concerns. Always.

"If you refuse, I will let you leave, should you wish to join in the future you can try to find me."

"You have no problem working with known traitors?"

"The Mizukage is a fool, I agree with your decision to try and overthrow him."

"Hmm, I see."

"Very well, do you want to join my organization under my command?"

"I don't know what makes you think that you are strong enough to lead?"

"You have fought me before."

"And I won."

"I am not so sure Zabuza-sama, even after all those injuries he was able to keep moving, he was able to walk on water and by the time I took you away from that place his injuries had already started to heal." Haku put in.

"I am not human, not fully at least, I am the Kyuubi-Jinchuriki host to the king of demons as well as his apprentice, after I reach chunin, I am to be given access to scrolls left to me by my father, the Konoha no Kiroi Senko." Naruto looked confidently at the infamous Nuke-nin. "And I have both the ambition and the determination to accomplish my ambition."

"So what you are saying is that you have more power than you show. I already knew that however you are far from reaching that power. You fought me with your own power and lost. Maybe you could beet me with the fox's power but that is not your own strength, it's borrowed."

"What do you want me to do to prove that I am good enough?"

"A fight, until a winner is decided by an impartial judge."

"That is acceptable. Who?"

"Hmm, Kakashi-san has sharp eyes and he knows your power better than the others as well as my own."

"Very well, I'll get him; we will meet at the first location where we met."

Through all this Haku stood quietly and watched. After Naruto left he turned to Zabuza, "Zabuza-sama, why do you want to fight him again?"

"You watched our last fight, he was holding back."

"Why do you think that?"

"He used only kenjutsu, and considering his obvious lack of skill, he isn't a kenjutsu specialist."

"You want him to face you with his best style?"

"I want to see what he is capable of."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It didn't take long.

Kakashi was called and he brought a small audience of those who overheard. Tazuna and his family were there and Inari was still fuming that even after he rallied the villagers they arrived to late to do anything.

Sasuke was hoping to try and steal some of Naruto's jutsu which in his mind were clearly the source of his strength.

Sakura came because Sasuke was going.

Finally the preparations were done.

Naruto pulled Kakashi over for a moment, "sensei. Don't stop the fight if I look like I'm loosing, not until I've done everything I can."

"Alright but don't get yourself killed."

They walked to the starting positions. "Hajime"

Naruto didn't wait around after the start. He started hand-signs, "gokakyu no jutsu"!

Zabuza dodged and used "Kirigakure no jutsu"! Naruto countered with "Futon: Daitoppa" (Wind Release: Great Breakthrough)!

The great blast of wind blew away the mist but Zabuza was gone, suddenly his sword came spinning from nowhere and was stopped by a pair of shadow clones wielding Scarlet Kodachi.

Zabuza came from above and landed with a foot on ether clone's head. The clones vanished into smoke and Zabuza retrieved his sword.

Naruto turned grinned and the sword was replaced by a Naruto clone completely wrapped in exploding notes.

Zabuza turned into water. Naruto turned into smoke. A new pair of fighters jumped from the bushes on ether side of the road and began to exchange blows at a rapid rate.

Zabuza hit Naruto, who turned into smoke; three more Naruto's jumped from underground, one grabbing Zabuza's feet and yanking down "Doton: Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu" (inner decapitation technique) while the other two readied swords to strike.

Zabuza did a back flip at the last moment breaking out of the clones grip and causing the other two clones to strike it instead. He then threw a pair of kunai into the clones causing them to vanish into smoke.

Another Naruto jumped from a tree with surprising speed and strength, Zabuza fought valiantly for several moments before receiving a blow to the stomach with a kunai and falling into water as this Naruto turned to smoke as well.

The villagers sweatdropped as they realized that so far nobody actually came out of hiding.

Naruto burst from the behind a piece of cloth that concealed him against a tree directly beside the fight. Zabuza came out from the water in a flurry of movement, and they both clashed much faster than before.

Their swords flashed as more clones joined the fray working in perfect harmony of punches kicks and sword slashes. Red claws appeared here and there as the Nine Naruto's all attacked with everything they knew.

Three Naruto's jumped back and fired "Gokakyu no jutsu" again, Zabuza shifted his focus to one of the Narutos that had fired the fireballs but was startled to feel a fist strike him in the stomach with enough force to send him backwards into a tree trunk. One of the burned Narutos had been the real thing.

Zabuza was startled; the boy had actually hit himself with a powerful fire jutsu just to land a hit? Nope, just as he thought this he heard the telltale hiss of an exploding tag behind him.

The crowd had a great view of the great demon of the bloody mist, the big-time A rank criminal thrown through the air and into a large net witch fell into a pit that had more exploding notes on the bottom. He then flew straight up as though out of a canon and into the awaiting grasp of two more clones that grappled him so he couldn't move. Finally another clone came out of the forest and smashed a large newly cut club onto the lethal assassins head.

There were many sweatdrops in the audience. "How the hell did he rig up something that complicated without being seen?" was a cry heard from Sakura.

"A lot of Kage bushin and subtle genjutsu." Sasuke remarked dryly.

Zabuza broke out of the grasp of the clones only to find eight more Narutos holding swords to his weak points.

"The first time we met you said there are eight weak point's on the human body. You asked which one we wanted to be hit in, I decided to take things a little bit further."

"Well, I must say, that was the most complicated trap I have ever been caught in neutral grounds." Zabuza said with a grin, his bandages had come undone and his sharp pointy teeth were visible.

"Shousha Uzumaki Naruto." Kakashi said as if he wasn't expecting this outcome.

"Looks like you win kid, I'll join."

"Oh, good." Naruto said before his clones vanished into smoke and he collapsed from exhaustion.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How was that? I wonder if the fight was too much, and no, it wasn't added because there were not enough fights earlier.

Please tell me what you think of my style of writing fights and don't forget to vote on the polls that are still active.

Now here is my idea for another fanfic I was considering. Please remember this will most likely not slow down my writing as I update less often then I potentially could.

Idea:

There was a clan that left konoha after the death of the fourth, now they're back.

Sasuke wasn't the one who survived the Uchiha massacre and the one who did isn't an avenger.

---------------------------

I might also put my newly designed clan as well as another clan into my story but as non-konoha clans.

I also would like to ask which the best idea for a kakkei genkai is.

Demon shadows (these would be able to act independently of the person and feed off negative emotion, they would try to control the clan member they are part of and would involve special sealing rituals to keep contained)

Kagegan (a strange eye power that effectively causes the user to become completely blind while active but gives an ability to perfectly detect the presence, shape and structure of nearby objects. There would also be the ability to channel other senses through it, such as smell, touch and taste)

Seal masters (the ability to identify all the properties of a seal by looking at it, and the ability to make and control seals without hand signs, also a special combat style that involves placing seals on an opponent to limit their ability to defend themselves)

Please vote
