Chapter 5
New Beginnings and Sinister Plots
Unknown Location…
"It seems Hikari is having a hard time with the four rejects." Said a man in a loud voice.
"Let her be she knows that all her memories comeback here anyways so there's no worry if she dies. We just recreate her body is all." Said a feminine voice.
"Yeah but I like this version of her. She's got big ones." Said the man
"Some times I wonder why we keep you around." Said the feminine voice
"Because he has magic fingers." Said another feminine voice
Bridge…
"Who cares I'll kill you and the other along with my target." Said Hikari
"I don't think so." Stated the mystery woman
"Then lets see you try!" yelled Hikari
Hikari ran faster then she had before at the mystery woman with her sword in striking position.
"WIND BARRIER!!!" said the mysterious woman
Hikari not having enough time to stop slammed into the barrier.
"Arrrhhh!!!" yelled Hikari as she hit the barrier and disappeared.
"What just happened?" questioned everyone, Akatsuki included
"She hit my Wind Barrier anything that hits it is shredded instantly. Its similar to your ninjustsu for wind elements it cut through anything same for my technique." Said the mysterious woman.
"Thanks for saving my life." Said Naruto
"Not a problem you may not know it, but your existence is important for many people." Said the woman. "Well I'll give you Akatsuki members time to run for now."
"Our job is to secure that brat. You bitch. So step aside." Demanded Kakuzu
"That's enough we are leaving. We are low on chakra from the battle and to fight a still fresh opponent is ill advised." Stated Itachi
"Fine do what you want I'll kill her myself then." Replied Kakuzu.
"Return Now!!!" commanded a voice in each Akatsuki member's head
"Damn looks like our time is up." Said Kakuzu
"I guess you lot get a lucky break. Just remember next time you might not be so lucky." Said Kisame
"Lets go." Stated Itachi "And Sasuke, you will never be able to beat me unless you fill your heart with hatred."
"Lets leave now." Said Hidan
With those words said the Four Akatsuki members left.
"So what just happened here?" asked a confused Anko
"I don't know but apparently we survived an assault from four S-Ranked rouge ninjas and one unknown ninja that could possibly be at the same level as a Kage." Said Iruka
"Very good analysis of the situation Iruka Umino." Said the woman
"Who are you? How do you know Iruka-sensei's name?" asked Naruto
"I am soldier of the wind who's spirit is guided by a the winds of time." Said the woman dramatically. "And I heard one of you call him Iruka Umino.
"You still haven't told me your name." Stated Naruto
"That's because my name is a secret." Said the woman. "But I'll give you a hint. Each person has color and with that color defines one's life. That is the hint. And now I must be going. So tah-tah."
The woman then vanishes as a strong gust of wind.
"Huh??? Where'd she go?" questioned Naruto and everyone around him.
"Well seeing as your meal ticket is dead. I don't think we have any need to fight." said Kakashi
"I guess not. Haku I'm leaving." Stated Zabuza "You can catch with me later have fun with these brats. You earned it."
"Thank you Zabuza-sensei." Replied Haku who was amazed that Zabuza would give him some personal time to have a real life.
Zabuza left in a swirl of mist as he left.
"So everyone's gone well except for Haku here. So what do we do." Asked Sakura.
"We finish the bridge return home that's what." Stated Anko "Naruto if you would."
"Sure thing. Multi-Water Clone Jutsu!!!" shouted Naruto
With the shout of the jutsu a large rumble was heard. Out of the water that surrounded the bridge thousands of Naruto appeared and landed on the bridge.
"Just tell us what to do." Shouted all the Naruto water clones.
"Amazing, with this many hands we can finish a head of schedule." Said Tazuna "Okay lets get started."
Several Days Later…
"It was nice hanging around with you Haku." Said Sakura
"Yeah it was fun." Replied Haku "Well I better get back to Zabuza now it's been longer then he would normally allow."
"Hey Haku, why do you follow Zabuza anyway?" asked Sakura.
"It's because Zabuza gave me a purpose to live again." Said Haku "He gave me a dream to live for when I was facing nothing but darkness."
"Was your childhood really that bad?" asked Sakura
"Back in the Mist Country many ninja's were slaughtered by the Mizukage and his Seven Swordsmen. Zabuza being one of them they hunted down many ninja. Because of fear that the entirety of the Mist Country being over run with bloodline, the Feudal Lord ordered the extermination of the all ninjas and families with bloodlines. The Mizukage ordered all ninjas with bloodlines to gather into one large trap to kill them all. Some of the clans were able to escape from the massacre and give warning to any Mist ninja what was around that had a bloodline. Even several of the Seven Swordsmen were going to be executed. The one's that didn't have a blood line was asked to kill anyone that has a bloodline. It didn't matter if the person was a civilian or ninja. Neither did it matter if the person was just a traveler or a merchant on his way to buy supplies. All of them were killed if they had a bloodline. Even today they are searching for anyone that has a bloodline and kills them. Because of this my mother hides the fact that she possessed a bloodline and married my father. He was an average mine worker. But he killed my mother when he found out that she possessed a bloodline. He did that because of the fear that the Feudal Lord and the Mizukage instilled into the citizens of the Mist Country. Because of them my mother died and I had killed my father in fear." Explained Haku
"I'm so sorry Haku. I didn't know." Said Sakura
"It's alright. My life's purpose is to serve Zabuza until the day I die." Said Haku "Now I must be going now it was fun hanging out with you Sakura maybe someday we can hang out again."
"That would be nice." Said Sakura as she watched Haku leave
Several Hours Later…
"Haku what are you doing back here?" asked Sakura
"Funny thing happened when I went to meet up with Zabuza." Replied Haku. "He was with Ms. Tsunami, and Zabuza agreed to protect are village from bandits and people like Gato."
"That's great so that means you are going to be staying here from now on." Asked Sakura
"Yes, that's right. Zabuza and I will be here for a while." Said Haku
"Try this is are permanent home now Haku." Said a voice behind Haku and Sakura
"Huh what do you mean Zabuza, if we stay here to long Huntier-ninjas will be here to capture us." Said Haku in a worried voice
"It's all been taken care of." Said Zabuza "Besides I think its time I started to create a blood heir incase you die."
"What do you mean Zabuza?" asked Haku
"From here on out we go our separate ways. You can follow the Leaf ninjas and become part of their village or you can wander around the world on your own." Replied Zabuza
"But what about your dream to recreate the Hidden Mist Village and Mist Country." Asked Haku
"That Shark-shit already killed the Feudal Lord that gave the order. And I heard that a new Mizukage was enlisted from the Chunin so my dream is fulfilled. Now it's your turn to strike out into the world on your own two feet." Stated Zabuza "Just remember Haku even though I treated you as a weapon. A ninja must cherish his weapons for them to always pull him through the most difficult of missions."
"Thank you Zabuza I will find a new dream, my own dream and strive to achieve it."
Stated Haku
"That was so sweet." Cried Sakura
"Give me a break that was the sappiest thing I've ever heard." Said Sasuke
"I think that is what you call being emotional." Stated Sai
"I believe so." Replied Naruto
"They may have a master and subordinate attitude with others, but I think they feel more like father and son then anything else." Said Iruka
"Huh what were you saying Iruka?" asked Anko as she finished off her snack.
Several Days Later…
"Hey thanks for the help with the bridge. We really appreciate it." Said some of the construction workers
"No problem. It was fun." Said Naruto
"We need to get back to the village now. So take care." Said Iruka
"Naruto, Iruka lets go otherwise I'm leaving both your scrawny ass behind." Yelled Anko who was further down the bridge
"Well we better catch up" said Naruto "Come on Iruka-sensei."
"Alright, alright I'm coming." Said Iruka
"Hey wait for us as well you jerks." Yelled out Sakura
"Let them be Sakura. They are a different squad then we are so they can do as they please." Said Kakashi "So Haku what are your plans now that Zabuza has decided to stay here."
"I plan on becoming a ninja of hidden village so that I can rise my name as high as Zabuza's." replied Haku
"Very admirable, have you decided which village you will be aligning yourself too?" asked Sakura
"Yes I have since you guys have been nice enough to not kill me when I let my guard down I wish to see how life as a ninja of the Leaf Village is compared to the life of at the Hidden Mist Village." Said Haku
"We don't need someone as weak as you in the Leaf Village." Said Sasuke
"I am incline to agree with Dickless here." Said Sai
"Well he's more then welcome in my book." Said Sakura
"Well we'll let Lord Hokage decide since its his decision." Said Kakashi
Several Days Later… Hidden Leaf Village
"So the mission was a success." Said Sarutobi "And we have a promising new candidate for a ninja. What is you name child."
"My name is Haku, sir." Answered Haku
"Well she'll make a fine kunoichi." Said Sarutobi
In the background you can hear Iruka, Anko, and Naruto laughing. Sakura who was standing closer to Haku just giggled. Haku on the other hand was frowning at the comment.
"Actually sir I'm a boy." Said Haku
Sarutobi upon hearing this froze in his tracks with a sweat drop on his head.
"Ahem, sorry about the confusion." Apologized Sarutobi "But seeing as you are not in any of the bingo books a can not place someone of your skills as a high class ninja. So you will have to start from the level of genin. Is that okay with you Haku."
"That is fine Lord Hokage. I would have asked for that level since my goal is to reach the same level of status that Zabuza has." Replied Haku
"Alright then I am assigning you to team nine with Naruto Uzuamaki, your Jounin instructor will be Anko Mitarashi. If there is nothing else you are dismissed." Said Sarutobi
Outside Hokage Tower
"Cool I now have a new teammate." Said Naruto
"Hope you can take my train regime Haku." Said Anko with a wicked smirk
"I will do my best." Said Haku
Next Day After Training…
"She's insane!!!" gasped Haku
"Hey she saw some of abilities when she we were in Wave Country. So she adjusts her training for the two of use. She's usually much harder then this." Said Naruto
"Hey I have to meet up with Sakura now so I'll see you for tomorrow's mission alright Naruto." Asked Haku
"Sure thing, see you tomorrow." Replied Naruto as he watched Haku walk into town. "Now what should I do? Oh I know I should go and get something to eat since it's almost dinner time."
As Naruto is leaving the training area, he is being watched by two hidden figures.
"So he's the one? Looks kind of scrawny if you ask me." Said the first hidden figure
"That maybe true, but you don't judge a person by how they look." Said the second hidden figure
"To think the destiny of the world will be determined by the actions of that guy." Said the first figure
"Oh well our orders are to protect him from all harm." Said the second
"Yeah you're right especially with the Chunin Exams starting up next month. How are we going to keep an eye out for him when he takes the exam." Asked the first
"We have one of our agents applying for entry to that genin squad." Replied the Second "Besides were going in as genin as well."
"We are?" asked the first
"Yes we are." Said the second
"Then who's our third?" asked the first
"Who do you think? It is its her of course." Said the second
"Are you two talking about me." Said a person behind the two
"Leader? What are you doing here?" asked the first
"The Diamond Dusk has become active again. That and I wanted to be on the field again. Being stuck in that cramped office doing all the endless amounts of paperwork is boring." Replied the Leader
"So your our backup?" asked the first
"That's about it." Said the leader "Remember my codename is Tearbreaker."
"Sure thing boss." Said the girl
Diamond Dusk Hideout
"Is something the matter?" asked the loud male voice
"It appears an unknown variable has appeared." Said the a female voice
"So what's the plan? Do we send another agent, or do we send a new experiment." Asked another feminine voice
"I believe we should send the tenth." Said the first female
"The tenth are you sure? It's power is only even with the eighth." said the male
"It will let us to collect some data that we neglected for so long." Said the first woman
"So we we'll be sending the tenth with two agents to infiltrate the chunin exam." Said the second woman
"No they will be used to eliminate the snake in the grass." Said the first woman
"That was a bad joke, you know." Said the second woman
"Oh SHUT UP!!!" said the first woman
