Like I said before, don't expect these too regularly. I'm only doing this chapter because it was fun doing the last one, and it's easier to change the cannon than make new stuff up on the spot. I was going to turn Serenity into Frost, but I was playing Konquest (the story mode on Armageddon) and she went psycho on my ass. So I'm not sure what I'm going to do with her, unless I totally remake Frost's personality into Serenity's, or I could just make it so she hates everyone but Naruto.

Team Seven walked down the road to Wave. Naruto noticed it first because of his long history training with water and ice Jutsu. (Don't yell at me I don't have the internet to look up the names in Japanese in my dorm.) The puddle ahead was laced with water chakra. He smirked as they got closer and watched the two people that popped out cut 'Kakashi' into pieces with a spiked chain.

"One down" one of the brothers said.

"Four to-" that one was quickly silenced as Naruto was right in front of him, just standing there smiling. "What the hell?" Naruto grabbed him by the arm and started to through hay makers into his chest. After about three Naruto kicked the pour guy so hard he went flying into a tree behind him, taking his brother with him, do to the chain attaching them. Naruto smirked as he walked towards them. They both hit a button releasing the chain, because if he threw one of them again one or both of them could get caught in it and ripped to shreds. One of their claws shot towards him wile the other Brother jumped out and ran towards Tazuna.

'Thought so' Naruto, well thought. He grabbed the clawed hand by the wrist and snapped it like a twig. Throwing the man aside he watched as Sakura ducked under the other brother's claw and flawlessly tripped him then grabbed him in the air and smashed his back into her knee. It didn't break his back but it didn't feel too good either. She threw him to the side thinking that she had beaten him.

"Look what I did Naruto-sensei." She almost yelled. Naruto's eyes widened in horror as the missing Nin' jumped up to attack her again. She didn't see it and he wouldn't make it with his weights on. He was about to take off his over coat, the most weighted thing on his body, when Kakashi showed up and grabbed the Nin' by the neck. Naruto sighed as he put his over coat back into place.

Naruto walked over to Sakura and bonked her on the head. "Don't let your guard down unless your opponent is unconscious or dead." He said in a cold voice telling her he was mad.

"Sorry Naruto-sensei" She said in a sad voice.

Naruto just patted her on the head and smiled. "As long as you're alright" He said as he looked at the two missing ninja. Now giving a more evil version of his fox grin, he tied them up and put them up against a tree. "Anbu should be around to get them soon. I think our client has some explaining to do."

Tazuna told them about how a man named Gato who had come to there small country and started take over the import, export so that the only way to get supplies would be to pay his extremely high taxes. He then bled the country dry.

Naruto had known about it from a trip to Wave on an errand from Sarutobi. He had left the village a lot on 'errands' that the aged Hokage gave to him that 'didn't happen' or was 'not important' enough for the counsel to know about. The only kind of 'errands' he didn't take were assassinations.

After the sob story the team decided to go ahead with the mission and continued walking. Before long they were in wave and walking down a small dirt road. Sasuke was feeling bad about not getting any action earlier and decided to attack the first thing that moved that wasn't them. He noticed a rustling in a bush near them and threw a kunai at it.

"What did you find Sasuke" Kakashi asked as he ran to the bush and pulled it back, to reveal a small white rabbit with the kunai between its ears. It looked scared as hell. "False alarm, wasting ghosts"

Naruto looked at the bunny 'rabbits are supposed to change color in the fall' he heard a whooshing sound. "Everybody down" He yelled grabbing Tazuna and Sakura and hitting the deck, just in time to see a giant sword rush passed where Tazuna's and Sakura's heads were. It imbedded its self into a near by tree, and a man jumped on it. The man had pants on that reminded Naruto of a cow, no shirt a leather strap over his chest, to hold the giant sword Naruto presumed, and bandages covering his mouth.

"Sharingan No Kakashi, no wonder the Demon Brothers had trouble."

"Zabuza, Demon of the Mist" Kakashi said frowning under his mask. This was not good. He had a Jounin level opponent and he had Gennin with him.

Naruto looked on with interest as a mist started to spread over the battle field. He took out a kunai and ran towards Zabuza. "Kakashi keep an eye on the client." He said as he jumped up to the sword.

Zabuza quickly realized what the kid was doing as he pulled out a kunai also. Naruto landed on the sword and sliced Zabuza's shoulder. Zabuza tried to slice back, trying not to give Naruto any space on the blade; if Zabuza fell off he might not get the sword back for the rest of the fight if at all.

The kunai clashed together, "Nice sword" Naruto said, "Too bad it's incomplete, it was supposed to be sentient wasn't it?" He said with a smile. Naruto was just as strong as Zabuza but Zabuza had his height over Naruto. "And there is only two ways for a weapon to become sentient. A. You put part of the user's soul into it, but the sword might reject that and it would take ten years off your life. B. You put a full soul of another person and hope they don't hate you for the rest of your life. The girl about a quarter a mile away is the one you wanted to do that with, huh." Naruto smiled seeing the look in Zabuza's eyes as he gave a little ground in shock. "What happened, you get attached to her?"

"That is none of your business" Zabuza said trying to gain back the lost ground but to no avail as Naruto kicked him in the stomach. Zabuza fell down to the ground.

Naruto smiled as he dropped to the ground also. "What's wrong Zabuza, having trouble finding your sword?" Naruto taunted as he stood between the Demon of the Mist and his famed sword.

"You little bastard I'm going to rip you apart!" Zabuza said running towards Naruto, who just stood there and with his Kunai out. When Zabuza was close he threw the kunai at him, giving Zabuza a small amount of time to dodge only to have a kick to the face from Naruto. The kick sent Zabuza in to a small pond right next to them.

"You ok Zabuza-chan?" Naruto said with a smirk on his face.

'This kid is good' Zabuza thought 'but he only uses Taijutsu. He might not be able to use Ninjutsu and that's where I'll get him.'

Zabuza got up and started flipping though hand signs and shouted some thing that Naruto really didn't care about since he didn't have his angle eye activated. A pool of water appeared before Zabuza and shot at Naruto at an alarming speed. When it hit where Naruto was the only thing that was left was Naruto's coat. "Did I atomize him?" Zabuza said. Just then a chain rapped around him. It tied his hands to his body and his legs together. A snake head was at the end.

"Zabuza-chan, if you not going to play by my rules I'm afraid I'm going to have to kill you." Naruto said from behind Zabuza. To make his point more clear, or just to make it so he would have to deal with Zabuza for a wile, hidden spikes came out of the chain and tightened a little making Zabuza scream in pain. Naruto put the spikes back in and unwrapped Zabuza.

Naruto felt some one coming then saw a Senbon go into Zabuza's neck. Just then a masked Shinobi appeared, grabbing Zabuza.

The masked nin' was a little shorter than Naruto wearing a blue dress and wooden sandals. "Thank you for distracting Zabuza for me. I have been tracking him for days." They said just before they both disappeared. They had reappeared near Zabuza's sword, but it was gone in a poof. They curst under their breath as they disappeared again.

"Shit" Kakashi said as he looked on, for two reasons. One because Zabuza was still alive do to the fact the 'Hunter Nin' didn't dissect him on the spot, and two because Naruto had just done heavy damage to a jounin because he wasn't 'playing fair.' What the hell was Naruto?

It wasn't long before they got to Tazuna's house. A young boy wearing a cream colored shirt and short, green overalls and a young woman wearing a pinkish shirt and some blue jeans were sitting on the porch.

"This is my daughter Tsunami and my grandson Inari." Tazuna said as they walked up them. Kakashi, Naruto and Sakura said hi. Sasuke just glared at them.

Naruto decided to walk into the forest instead of going in the house. He stopped in the middle of a clearing and smiled. "You can come out now, Haku-chan."

The masked nin' from before appeared behind him suddenly. "How long have you noticed me following you?" She asked.

"Since a half hour after the fight" Naruto said. "You're very good at hiding your presence, if I hadn't been trained the way I have; I would have never noticed you."

"Why didn't you take me with you, Naruto-sama?"

"Because Haku-chan, if I had we would have started a war with mist, and the council would have probably turned you into breading stock." Naruto said sadly. It had been an 'errand' that the Hokage sent him on. He went to mist and helped her along with a few more blood line possessors escape. It was a small group of about five. The Hokage sent Naruto because he was still a civilian and couldn't be track to Konoha. He had befriended the young ice user and they had bonded in the week it took to get out of Mist's clutches. "Why do you work for a Nuke Nin'?"

"Because besides for you he was the only one to ever see use in me." She said. "He is precious to me. 'You must protect those precious to you with your very life.' You told me that."

"When it comes down to it I will protect my team and my client. I may have to kill Zabuza to do it."

"No, I want to fight you one on one." She said.

"I can't promise anything, I will do what is right for my mission."

There's another chapter. It's a miracle I did more than one chapter a month. Hell it hasn't even been a week. Now I'm sorry for the short one sided fight against Zabuza, but he will need to be pretty powerful if he is to go into the tournament. Here's hoping you like it. R&R
