True Devil

Naruto stared at him in shock. "Are you really willing to throw away your life?"

"I'm not of any use to Zabuza-sama anymore. I'm a broken tool." Haku merely said.

"Don't think like that…..but I will kill you for hurting my friend." Naruto sent a wave of killer intent. He put on gloves with metal tips on the fingers which made it look like claws. He made hand signs with one hand.

"How? I thought I'm the only one who knows it. What are the claw things for?" Haku watched stunned.

"Um…Actually it is my first time so I just watched you. None of your business. Raikyuu!" A ball of lightning formed on his hands. Naruto narrowed his eyes because he noticed the attack is exponentially weaker.

"I think you need more practice."

"Shut up." He threw it at him and sparks flew. 'I will always wear these when I'm in Anbu but I might get noticed.'

The ball was a foot away from his face. Chirping is heard in the other side of the field. "Zabuza! I'm sorry but I don't want to die yet." Everything happened in a second. It started from Naruto throwing the lightning ball to Haku going to the other side of the bridge.

Kakashi charged up an attack called the Raikiri and headed towards the immobile Zabuza. Blood splattered everywhere when the raikiri hit someone. A hand protruded out of Haku's back as it sparked occasionally. "Gah!" His blood fell on the ground like rain.

Zabuza laughed sinisterly, "Good job Haku."

"Shit." Naruto uttered. 'He is already dead.'

Zabuza's sword was about to slice both of them until Naruto blocked the sword. The metal tips of his gloves kept him from getting cut by it. "Pathetic. Haku risked his life for you….yet you laugh!"

Kakashi looked stunned but then went a safe distance and laid Haku down. He disappeared and from behind Zabuza he slashed him with a kunai. Kakashi backed away and Naruto stood next to him. "Your arms are useless." Zabuza's arms hang limp.

"You're pathetic. You got your ass kicked." They turned to see Gatou. Naruto growled, "We have to kill you. You freaking bastard."

Gatou just laughed. There were an army of thugs behind him. "The demon of the mist? Ha! You are just…a cute little devil. Blondy there should know your place."

Gatou saw Haku's body. "You squeezed my arm until it broke bastard." He kicked him in the face. Naruto snarled ready to claw him but Kakashi grabbed him. "Look at the numbers."

"I know..." He seethed. "...but I still want to beat his ass."

"I have no reason to fight you anymore."

"You Zabuza! Why don't you do any thing!?"

"He is dead." Zabuza's gaze was on Gatou.

"Haku trusted you…he respected you…he gave his life for you… but you just stand there feeling nothing!" Naruto yelled. His bangs hid his eyes and he cried.

"Kid..don't say anymore." Zabuza had tears in his eyes. "It pained him to fight you guys. Give me a kunai." Naruto tossed him a kunai.

Bandages fell from his face. Naruto flexed his hands when he wiped away his tears. 'I'm not a tool. I'm a shinobi of the Anbu force!' His metal tips clinking as they touch each other. "Need help?"

"Sure kid, but leave the bastard to me." They rushed at the army with blinding speeds. Naruto sliced one man and used the other hand to block a sword. Zabuza slashed men left and right. The numbers were decreasing rapidly. Gatou stared fearfully at Zabuza. Sword and weapons stuck out of him like he came from hell.

He stabbed him in the stomach. "You and I are going to hell together."

With quick movement, Gatou's head flew from his body. Naruto grinned as his hand went through a man's chest. "It is over." He was covered in blood from head to toe.

"Thanks.." Zabuza fell from the multiple weapons on his body.

"You killed our meal ticket!" "You must die!" The thugs yelled.

'Shit. Naruto…' Kakashi was about to intervene but then an arrow stopped them in their tracks.

They turned to see the villagers with weapons in hand. Inari was in the front with a bow.

"Naruto-niisan! A hero comes in the last minute." He grinned. Naruto imitated his grin.

"Kage bunshin no Jutsu." Kakashi and Naruto said as fifty appeared. The army ran like cowards.

"Let's get out of here!" They jumped off of the bridge and into the water or went in the boat.

"Yes!" The crowd cheered. Kakashi walked over to Zabuza's body.

"Kakashi…I want to see his face one last time." He didn't move.

"Sure." Kakashi muttered as he carried him.

Naruto's POV

I listened to their conversation. Something cold hit my face. "It's snowing."

I walked over to Zabuza and Haku. "Thanks Kakashi. Kid…."

He turned to me. "I know we swordsmen have to be buried with our swords but….I want you to have my zanbatou." I looked at him with disbelief but then grinned. I lifted it up from the snowy ground.

"I'll take good care of it. I promise." I said with a smile.

"Good…." Zabuza turned to Haku. "I wish I …could be in t…the same place…as you." He went limp. I swung the zanbatou and strapped it on my back. "Let's bury them together."

I went to Sakura who is crying in Sasuke's chest. With I frown, I removed the needles in his neck. All of a sudden, he came back to life. "Sakura…y-you are heavy."

She gasped, "Sasuke!" Sakura squeezed him in a hug. Tazuna smiled.

"Y-you're hurting m-me." Sasuke then got alert. "What happened to the boy?"

"Haku is dead. Zabuza is too." I scowled.

"Did you kill them?" Sasuke noticed the sword on his back.

"No.. Kakashi killed Haku. Zabuza died from multiple injuries."

"Why do you have his sword?"

I chuckled sadly. "He gave it to me when he was about to die."

He glared at me but I don't care.

After they paid respects to the two, we were about to leave. Inari was crying and what surprised me the most is that tears are forming in my eyes. 'Huh….Urufu…Kame…and Kuma are going to laugh at me right now.'

"Bye..Inari!" I left with a smile. I ran to catch up with Kakashi and my team.

"What should we call the bridge Tazuna?" A man asked.

"We will call it the Great Naruto Bridge for all the courage he brought to us." Tazuna smiled.

Inari still cried, "I hope he visits soon."

I made up with an excuse to why I am strong. It's pathetic….

Flashback no Jutsu!

I sighed. Sasuke is getting on my nerves with question. Sakura followed his lead and Kakashi…well..is being Kakashi listening to our conversation.

"Damn! Stop pestering me!"

"We just want to know why you are strong enough to kill those thugs!"

"For the second time! The fox captain knocked me out and henged into me. When I came back, I found you guys and he disappeared. Zabuza gave me his sword because he thought I'm him. I'm planning to give it to jiji-san to give it to him."

"Oh.." Sakura glanced at me.

"Hnnn….Dobe." Sasuke lost his interest. 'Baka.' I thought with a sigh.

Kakashi is still reading his book. I can tell he is not as stupid as the others.

Kai!

I am dressed up as an Anbu member. I slipped my claw tipped gloves on (almost like the demon brother's only smaller). 'It was a big risk that I put these on before. I just got these and I wanted to test them out. It actually was very good with lightning jutsu and regular combat. I really like them!' I smirked. I wrote, "Don't forget to thank Tenten later."

The zanbatou is on my bed. I picked it up and tied it next to my katana on my back. Then I tied my scarf around my neck. Last but not least I put my Kitsune mask on.

We just got back from the mission. Kakashi decided to give us a break from training today and tomorrow. Sadly, I don't have a vacation.

I shunshined out of my apartment and to the Hokage office. Sarutobi was caught by surprise.

"Sorry Hokage-sama." I started to pick up the papers from the gust of wind.

"You are here to give me your report of your mission?"

"Hai." I started to feel slightly tired from carrying the zanbatou. I need to practice with it and one handed signs later.

"Ok, the mission was a success, correct?"

"Hai. Gatou really did make their lives miserable. It really pissed me off. I didn't kill him though. Zabuza of the mist did it. He beheaded him. You heard Haku from Kakashi right?"

"Yes I've heard…" The Sandaime sighed. "Anyway does anyone know you are in the Anbu yet?"

"No..they suspected my strength but then I told them the captain henged into me."

"I see. I prefer that you tell Kakashi. I'm giving you permission but it is your choice. He may understand what you are going through."

I thought about it. Telling someone? It is a good idea to tell your sensei who was an Ex-Anbu op. It is a bad idea to tell your teammates that will babble about it and not comprehend that it is a secret. They won't know that it is a very important to hide his identity. I might tell them later when I trust them more. "I will tell Kakashi when I see him."

"Very well…Anything else?" I shook my head. "You are dismissed."

Switch POV

Naruto decided to train in training grounds 7. He is lucky no one is there because he is in his Anbu uniform. "Kage bunshin no Jutsu." Five other figures appeared in the smoke. They had the same outfit as him only they carried different weapons. One has a katana, another has a tanto, the third has chakra blades like Asuma, the fourth has a spear like weapon, and the last just has his gloves as a weapon.

Naruto has his zanbatou. He charged at them head on. He tried to slice all of them at once but the one with claws jumped on the sword. He tried to attack his face and Naruto ducked. He kicked him upwards and tried to slice him in mid air. He hit his mark and the clone disappeared. The other Kitsune used his spear at the chest but Naruto blocked it. He spun the zanbatou around and around above his head. It beheaded his clone and it poofed out of existence.

Naruto dodged to the left when a tanto tried to slice him in half. The blond used the sword to slow down his movements. He used it as support and kicked him in the head enough to get a concussion. It poofed out of existence. The two left double teamed on him. Naruto parried both and pushed them away. The one with the blades sliced Naruto in the chest. He grabbed the clone's arm and brought down the sword from his sword on the right. It looked at him in shocked and disappeared. Naruto backflipped from the katana. He leapt in the air and spun with the zanbatou in both hands. The katana was sliced in half and the tip fell in the grass.

The clone dodged the blow but he can't tell if he is angry. The katana user brought it from the right. Naruto avoided it but you could see a scratch on his mask. "Dammit, I have to get another one!" The blond yelled at the clone.

"Gomen…" It said.

"You lowered your guard!" Naruto sliced the clone from above and it disappeared into smoke. The blond sighed and strapped it back on his back. 'I still have bad form…but my power us good.' He got the information from the clones. "Now for the one handed signs." Naruto made a bunshin to watch him while he does it.

He did each of the hand signs with his left hand. When he got it down, he started with an easy jutsu. Naruto inhaled and lifted his mask. "Katon: Endan!"

A stream of fire went out of his mouth. He stopped the stream. "Wow you got it in your first try!" The bunshin said.

"Ok then, I'm doing Teppoudama." The bunshin paid close attention to the fast hand signs.

"Suiton: Teppoudama!" Naruto spat a large amount of water in a sphere. He wiped water off of his mouth and put his mask down. "Sugoi! You forgot to place your thumb there in your horse sign. Other than it losing its shape slightly, it's cool!"

"Whatever…Disperse."

The bunshin poofed out of existence. Naruto then did the jutsu again. It was a perfect sphere.

'Yes.'

"What are you doing here?" He turned to see Kakashi.

"Sorry, Kakashi-senpai. I was about to leave." Kitsune changed his voice. He was going to leave but he felt a hand on the shoulder.

"You are not going anywhere. I'm just going to ask you some questions."

"Nani." He just said.

"Were you on the bridge?"

"Hai."

"Can I ask why?"

"Sources told me Gatou is there."

"I'll tell you a secret. Guess what I found in Naruto's bag?"

"Nani." In his mask, Naruto turned white.

"There was a frog wallet full of money and I used it to buy some things like Icha Icha Paradise and..."

"You…You what! That took a lot of-" Kitsune stopped what he was saying. 'Shit.'

"I may be reading my books but I'm not dumb….Naruto."

"I don't have any more secrets to keep from you." He took out his mask.

"I didn't take any money from your wallet though."

"What a relief." Naruto then blushed. 'I should have hid my frog wallet...'

"I don't know why Sakura and Sasuke didn't notice your blond hair and your height." He chuckled.

"That's what they get for calling me baka. Don't tell anyone Kakashi-senpai."

"No I won't. Stop calling me senpai. You sound like Tenzou."

"Arigato sensei. Can you cover for me when I'm out?"

"Yes. Use a bunshin when you are out for a while."

"Arigato." Naruto grinned.

Thanks for voting! I'm adding Tayuya in the mix! I'm sorry I can't do Haku.

Urufu carried her captain to the infirmary in their headquarters. "What is wrong with him?" Kijuuki looked for wounds on him.

"No he is not hurt." Urufu said.

"Nani? Is he sick?"

"No!"

"Nani?"

"He fainted from the sight of paperwork." Urufu punched Kitsune in the head. "Now he needs you!"

"Itai! Does this mean I have a day off?" Kitsune asked innocently.

"Hell no..."
