Ninja are allowed to drink because they are old enough to die protecting their village. After the 4th bottle of sake they shared the third hokage walked up ghost white and said "I think I just lost my mind. I went to see all of you at the compound and when I walked into the front room Jiraiya was on one knee and Tsunada had a ring on her finger saying yes. Then they saw me and Asked would I marry them later. I just left there and came here to get a drink. All 4 of them looked at the owner and said at the same time "I need a drink." 2 bottles later the gennin team sensies all came in and saw the 4 drinking and asked "whats going on." At that moment Jiraiya and Tsunada walked by hand in hand and was stopping every person in town telling them "guess what we are getting married" after the sensies saw this they look at the 4 that were still drinking and said the same thing "I'll have what they are." Tsunada and Jiraiya was halfway across town and stopped kabuto telling him they were getting married. kabuto was in shock because he recognise both of them and though I think my master might want to know about this so he went to his room and summoned a small snake and told it to tell Orochimaru the other two sannin were getting married together. When Orochimaru heard that from summoned snake he followed everyone else lead and said "I need a drink." Needless to say that day Konaha ran out of sake.
The next day was declared an official day off for everyone because everyone in town that knew the new couple had a very heavy hangover. Naruto and Sakura had both summoned ip3 and kyubi so it would be a little quiter in thier heads. ip3 and kyubi went and had dinner together at the compound. They both started making plan about Sakura and Naruto. they also joked because they both knew how to get over the hang over for Sakura and Naruto but they decided to let them suffer. Sakura overheared that part and went to tell Naruto. when she did they both thought the same thing those sadist so Naruto taught Sakura how to change her own mindscape and they made plans to get revenge. When Sakura cancelled ip3 bunshin, ip3 found herself in a room filled with rock lee and gai posters everywhere. when Naruto cancelled kyubi at the same time he found himself surrounded by 10,000 rabbid fan girls. within a half an hour both Naruto and Sakuras hangover were gone. They spent the rest of the day just talking and trying to figure out what thier relationship is.
The next day Jiraiya and Tsunada told Sakura and Naruto the new plan and started trainging them. In the morning it was teacher and student after lunch Naruto and Sakura started sparing, giving the other advice on techniques and jutsu, sword fighting, chakra control exercises. It proceeded like that over the next couple of week. Naruto got to about 4000 lbs overall weight and Sakura got to about 2000 lbs. They also figured out a way to communicate without saying anything in battle. They called it gemini battle link jutsu. It was mostly ip3 and kyubi that invented it but they figured out a set of handseals for Sakura and Naruto to use to activate it. when they had sparring session with Jiraiya and Tsunada it helped give them an edge. even though they could not beat them they forced them to about 2/3 of their overall max. Tsunada and Jiraiya were both also getting back into thier peak conditions.
Naruto and Sakura had located the uzimake private library and after Naruto figured how to get by the seals they would spend saturday in the library using mass shadow clones jutsu to go thru the library . Sakura got up to about 200 clones and Naruto stayed at 1000 so not to hurt himself mentally. together they had only made it halfway thru the first floor in 3 weeks. The library still had 2 other floors with more books. sunday became rest days. Naruto had informed Sakura, Tsunada and Jiraiya about his plan for the mission to wave and they work out a couple of plans. Sakura, Tsunada, and shizune started testing Naruto healing ability and comparing it to Sakuras. it turned out Naruto blood type was O-POSATIVE and Sakuras was also so when the two blood mixed Sakura body started changing her blood makeup to match that of Narutos. they also discovered that Sakura dna was even changing in a good way. some scars she had for years had completely disapeared. they also found that her healing was becoming just like Narutos. Instead of healing damage tissue is was actually regenerating. Also they found that Sakuras blood had become immune to some poisons. Not as many as Naruto, but more than a normal person. Tsunada also got over her fear of blood at this time after they found out Naruto could heavy bleed for over and hour without passing out. The secret about Narutos hair finally came out when Sakuras hair grew 6 inches in 10 days. Naruto hair grew at an increased rate and after it gets so long it starts getting red tips on it so he always cut it to keep that a secret. Kyubi and ip3 had both went thru the others memmories and knowledge and organise it where if they needed certian information Sakura or Naruto could get it but it would not flood through them getting confused. they made a promise to stay out of the personal memmories so they could repect the others privacy and made ip3 and kuybi agree to it on threat of the fanclub torture agian.
It has now been 4 weeks since the big meeting, the third hokage came to the compound to check on Naruto and Sakuras progress. When he got their he saw Naruto on one side of a field while Sakura was on the other side getting ready for a face off. Sakura pulled out her sword in her right hand channeling chakra into it while doing one handed hand signs with her left and screamed out, Earth style: Earth tidal wave as she stabed her sword into the ground. A 30 foot tall tidal wave came out of the ground and charged at Naruto. Naruto started doing one handed hand signs in each hand for two seperate attacks. he finished the one in his right hand and yelled Earth style: Earth dome and a dome of solid dirt circled him and the tidal wave hit it and covered it completly burring the dome. A few moments later Naruto voice said Earth style: Head hunter jutsu and two hands grabbed Sakura feet pulling her under ground. Naruto came out of the dirt a few feet away from her and threw a shurikan with his right hand at Sakuras head that was sticking out of the ground while his left hand pulled out his sword of his back and blocked the sword strike from above him that a second Sakura was attacking with.
The one in the ground disapeared in a puff of smoke when the shurikans hit her. When the two swords met with the stregth Sakuras put into the strike a 10 foot spider web like crater appeared underneath Naruto. Naruto started pushing Sakura back into the air with his sword immediatly after they hit and she flew backwords. When she hit the ground she rolled a few feet and stuck her sword in the ground to keep from rolling farther away. she then stood up and started doing one handed seals in each hand with her sword in front of her. Naruto saw which seals she was doing and recognise one in her right hand as a fire jutsu so he started doing a two handed seal and called out Water style; hidden mist jutsu and the entire area became covered in a thick mist. Sakura finished her left hand first and said Wind style: tornado slice jutsu and a tornado appeared in the middle of the area and started sucking up all the mist and when Sakura saw Naruto she had just finished her right handed seal and said Fire style: fireball jutsu as she brought her hand to her mouth ten balls of fire shot at Naruto and he pulled his sword out of the ground and used it as a shield to block all of the fireballs.
After they finished hitting his shield Naruto looked at Sakura and said "Good match but its over look behind you." and then he disapeared in a cloud of smoke. Sakura started to react but a kunia was at her neck. Sakura sighed and said "Good match." Naruto, who was standing behind her took the kunia away and handed her a bottle of water and a towel to wipe the sweat off. "when did you switch, I know it was not when you were in the mist because If you had my tornado would of sucked up your clones before they ever touch the ground." Naruto laughed and said "You always are the smart one. yeah when I block your sword attack and you flew backwords you could not see me in that time so I created a shadow clone and used one of my special kunia and shushin to get behind you. when you stood up you were focused on my clone so much that you did not check behind you. then all I had to do was wait for the right moment." Just then they both heard three people clapping and the third walked up and said, "that was a very good match you two. I say you are both at least high chunnin maybe low junnin in skill thier. I have also heard about the new justsu created to work on battle cordination without talking and that could be very useful in battle. I came by to evaluate you both to see if you are ready for a mission and I believe you are." Sakura and Naruto looked at each other and then at the hokage and Naruto asked "Which mission."
The third laughed and said "nothing to hard just an easy C-rank bodygaurd mission to wave." Naruto and Sakura both got evil grins at that and said together "Tazana the bridgebuilder." The third then shook his head yes and Jiraiya stepped forward saying "I will be your sensie on this one but I will mostly be observing both of your progress. Tsunada will be staying to work with the others as will shizune. Naruto, you are sure you want to try and get zabaza and that kid haku to join us right." Naruto just smiled and shook his head yes. Sakura said "I admut I am a little nervous, even though we know whats suppose to happen does not mean it will. This is our actual first mission and i know it will be tough after we get back, but I agree with Naruto. the firepower those two have can really help us."
The next morning Naruto Sakura and Jiraiya met in the hokage office to meet Tazana before they left. Naruto had on a pair of black and green camo pants with a shurikan holster and kunia pouch on his right leg. he had a dark green and blue shirt on with pockets for scrolls on it. he also had a long green and black camo duster coverering most of his clothes and concealling his his sword on his back. Sakura had on a green and black dress with green shorts on. She had on the bandages most female ninjas wear around her upper legs with a kunia and weapon pouch on her left leg. She had a black and green with a little blue camo jacket that had pockets for storage on it so she could conceal her sword. Tazana walked into the room drunk and said "You are trying to get me killed, two kids and an old man is what I get for the money i paid." Naruto laughed at him and said "we maybe just kids but we are ninjas, If we have to give our lives so make sure a mission is completed then we are willing to do so, beside this is just a C-rank mission with no chance of enemy ninja so even if we get into trouble our junnin sensie is more than enough to bail us out. He may look old but in the life of a ninja you dont get old unless you are very good." Tazana just drank some more sake and said "well I feel a lot safer now. if we get attack you could talk the attackers to death." Sakura started to get ticked off at that until Naruto put his hand on her shoulder. Jiraiya took the opertunity to say " Ok lets go so we can get this mission over started" and with that all four of them left. Naruto said he would meet them at the gate and ran ahead of the group. Sakura was about to ask why when she seen the people giving Naruto glares as he ran ahead to the gates. She looked at the ground and thought why cant these people give him a break and why did Naruto leave his team to get to the gate first.
"Because he knows how everyone treats him and he does not want them to hate you for being with him anymore than he has to." ip3 said in Sakuras head. When they got to the gates Naruto was sitting outside the gates agianst a tree with a black eye and a busted lip and Sakura asked "what happened?" Naruto just smiled and said "I was so excited about the mission I did not look where I was going." Jiraiya just shook his head because he knew it was a lie and was thinking stupid idiot villagers, i would like to introduce them to a Rasengan for treating the boy like this. Tazana drank some more sake and said "And you suppose to protect me." Naruto jumped in front of him and held Sakura and Jiraiya off saying "we cant kill the client no matter what. we took an oath to fulfill our mission any way possible. Lets go." and with that he took off taking the lead going to wave country. Sakura took position just behind tazana on the right and Jiraiya on the left.
Three hours later they spotted the puddle that had the demon brothers in it and Naruto formed a Rasengan behind his back as they approached and pretended to slip shoving the Rasengan into the puddle throwing the two demon brothers out knocking them out in the process. Naruto look at tazana and said "I guess the old saying about being lucky then skilled is true. I was trying a new technique I am trying to learn. But the big question is why are ninja after you. Me and Sakura have never left the village before and our sensie thier is so famous that no one is crazy enough to attack him unless they have an entire army so that leaves you. want to explain." After he explained to them about Gato and the wave country they tied up the two brothers and sent a summon to have abnu come get them. Jiraiya then said "we will continue this mission even though it is now an A rank mission. When your country gets back on its feet you will have to pay the difference in pay plus a small fee for not giving us important information." After that was settled they finally got to the shore of wave country and as soon as they got to the other shore they setup camp for lunch. Naruto walked off from the group and summoned two foxes. A red 4 foot fox and a 5 foot tall blue fox.
The blue fox said "What can we do for you Lord Naruto." Naruto told them "I want you to go into the woods and you will find a house suspended in the trees by cables. When you find it find a short man who wears a suit and walks with a cane named Gato. Capture him and bring him to my location alive as fast as possible. I know you may have to hurt him but I need him alive for my plan to work. I want it done as stealthy as possible until you get to my location. I will probably be in a battle but do not get involved in the fight. Now go and hurry." with that the two foxes left quickly in search of their prey. Naruto came back to the group and ate his lunch with them. Sakura and Jiraiya looked at him questionably but he just shook his head like nothings wrong. After about an hour they pact up and camp. Destroying all traces that they had been there and continued on thier journey.
They traveled for about 2 hours when Naruto smelled zabaza. Naruto threw a kunia and scared the rabbit agian when zabaza sword came flying at the group and sticks to a tree with zabaza standing on it. All three of the ninjas yelled "Down" at the same time as it approached them. Sakura pulling Tazana down with her. "Zabaza, demon of the mist. I must say it is quite a suprise to meet someone of your reputation." Naruto said as he pulled out his sword and did the seal for the gemini battle link jutsu. "Sakura I will fight him and stall until my suprise package gets here gaurd tazana and help the pervert. Remeber Haku is around here somewhere and his ice mirrors are deadly." Naruto said through the link. "Ok Naruto, be careful, what package, You never said anything about a package" Sakura said. Naruto looked at her for a second and the looked at zabaza who had just landed in front of the group. Naruto made 50 shadow clones and had them make two spheres. one around tazana and one around him and zabaza. "So zabaza I guess you must be tired of running from hunter nin if you would work for a man like gato." Naruto said as they clashed swords. zabaza tried to over power him and said "You dont know what you talking about kid." Zabaza made some hand signs and said "Water style; hidden mist jutsu" and the entire area was covered in mist. Sakura remembering how she countered naturto doing this attack did hand signs and said "Wind style: tornado slice jutsu" which removered all of the mist and also sucked up a water clone zabaza had just created destroying it. Zabaza laughed and said "I thought your little friend over thier was going to watch. Looks like you need help to beat me. No matter, when I kill you she will be next." Zabaza then jumped out onto the lake that was beside where they had been fighting. Naruto smirked and ran out on to the lake and after about 10 feet he slipped under the water and created another kage bunshin. He had the kage bunshin climb out of the water and charge zabaza. Zabaza smirked and did hand signs and as the bunshin reached zabaza a ball of water surrounded the clone and zabaza said "water style: water prison jutsu" he then said "I will just hold you there until you drown." the Naruto in the prison just smirked and said "Look underneath the underneath" and disapeared in a puff of smoke.
zabaza immediately started looking for the real boy when a fist came out of the water hitting zabaza in the chin knocking him into the air. Naruto jumped after him and kicked him in a reverse backflip sending him back to shore. when zabaza hit the shore he skidded for a moment and stoood up swinging his sword and destroying about 10 shadow clones Naruto had created at the begining of the fight. Zabaza then started to do one handed seals as ten more clones came charging at him when one of Naruto clones that had stayed still looking for an opening threw a shurikan and hit him in the hand stopping his jutsu. They started going into a quick and deadly sword fight, Naruto slashing at zabaza head who dodges and parry to the right and then next he thrust at Naruto who backflips and lands on the tip of the blade and slashed at zabazas head, zabaza drops his sword and jumps back a few feet. Next he grabs a kunia and throws it at Naruto who grabs it but notices an exploding tag on it and drops it before jumping back. Zabaza runand grabs his sword and charges at Naruto. This goes on for about 10 minutes until zabasa starts losing. Naruto bites his thumb and wipes the blood on a scroll then he does some hand signs and says "Beast summoning: fox fang summoning persute" and slams the scroll to the ground. Two foxes jump out of the ground and bite into each of zabaza arms. Haku who has been watching all this throws some needles into zabaza neck and jumps down and says "I am a hunter nin from the hidden village of mist. My mission is to take zabaza out. Thank you for the help." He starts to walk toward him when Naruto says "Before you take zabaza who I know is still alive, I have an offer for the both of you? I will not kill you or him but I request you to revive him so I can tell you both my proposal Haku." At that moment haku froze in his spot. Haku turns to face Naruto and ask "How do you know my name?" Naruto smiles one of his real smiles and says"I will tell you if you promise on the life of your precious person that you both will wait until I tell you my offer. Gato was planning on killing you two after you finished this mission for him anyways because he is a greedy man and zabaza is not cheap." At that point the two foxes Naruto summoned earlier came into the field dragging Gato between them screaming.
Sakura and Jiraiya thinking it is an attack get into battle position for the new threat until they see the foxes and realise whats going on. Haku see this then looks at Naruto and says "I will promise on my precious person to listen but I can not make the decision if we will take your offer. I am a tool to my master?" Naruto says "I understand, If you will allow it, my friend there is a medic-nin and she can help you to heal his wounds, I give you my word on my precious people that you or him will not be harmed, I do know how your ice mirrors work and I can counter them so please dont break you word. I must ask you to remove his weapons so he does not think he is still under an attack when he is revived.", "I have no objection to her helping. If what you say is true you could have already killed the both of us." Haku said. Naruto turned to Sakura and said in the link Sorry for not telling you about Gato, it came to me on the boatride to this shore. Help heal any life threatening injuries but stop thier until we talk to him. I dont want you to get hurt. Sakura starts walking over to help haku but stops by Naruto long enough to hit him on the head and scream at him "YOU BAKA, IF YOU EVER DO THAT TO ME AGIAN I WILL HURT YOU SO BAD IT WILL TAKE A MONTH FOR YOU TO GET OUT OF THE HOSPITAL." Jiraiya walks over to Gato and the two foxes growl at him and he said "Relax, I am an ally of your Lord over there, I just want to check him to make sure he wont die before he can be punished." The foxes looks at Naruto who just shakes his head and they drop Gato out of there mouths and walk to Naruto who says "I want to thank you both for following my orders. Did you have to kill anyone?"
"No lord Naruto, we were able to grab him from his bedroom before anyone discovered us. I injected a sleep poison from my fangs into him so he could not raise the alarm but it wore of after 30 minutes. Is there anything else you need lord." The blue fox said. "No that will be all for know, go home and get some rest you have earned it." Naruto said and with that they disapeared in two puffs of smoke.
Naruto walked over to where Sakura and haku were working on zabaza. When he arrived zabaza was awake and haku had already told him everything that happened while he was out. He then looked at Naruto and asked "What is this offer you have for me?" Gato who had just been dragged over by Jiraiya heres this and starts screaming "I dont care what they offer you I will double it if you will just kill them now and finish you mission." Zabaza looked at him and said "shut up, little man or I will kill you." he then looks back to Naruto."Well, Like I said earlier I know you are tired of being hunted down not knowing if some lucky hunter nin will kill you or some contract you are working for turns you in and betray you so here is my deal. We are from the village hidden in the Leaf and we are not allied with the mist so we can offer you a chance to get off the wanted list if you are willing to join the Leaf. You will have to go thru a probation period to make sure you are not a spy but at least you and haku will have a safe place to sleep and live. I know haku sees himself as a tool for you but I also know you see him as the closes thing to a son you ever had. As four how I know both of your names I study missing nin names and known allies. I read a report once someone wrote about you and haku. I will give you time to think this over. We have to deal with Gato know." Naruto walked over to him and started pumping most of his killer intent out. It was strong enough everyone there was backing away from Naruto and he said "Gato lets have a little talk shall we. I have heard about some of the crimes you have done to this country and we are going to a business agreement."
"What kind of deal." Gato asked quivering. Naruto sat down and wrote out a contract, which he then handed to Gato and said "The deal is as follow, In exchange for me not killing you, you will sign this contract that states all of Gato shipping, industry and sub-companies and employes and will include all of you money except for an amount of $1000 a month will be givin to the country of wave. That $1000 a month will be you sallary to live on. You will be under house arrest with a seal I will put on you. You may leave the house during the day to work a job of hard labor paying back this country for what you did to it. The seal can only be remove if you have made pentance enough for this country to forgive you. If you try to escape or leave the property of your house arrest the seal will give you three warnings. The first will make you feel like you are being eletricuted until you return to your house, the secone time it will make you fell like you are on fire until you return to your house, the third will be a combo of both until you return to your house, the fouth time it will destroy your body. Do we have a deal." Tazana who watched all of this happen could not believe what he was seeing. Gato bowed his head and signed the contract. Naruto took the contract, had everyone there sign it and gave it to tazana and said "as the only represinative to the country of wave here I give this contract to you to give to the proper authorities."
Naruto walked back over to zabaza and said, "I will let you think about the offer if you need time, we still have a mission to complete. I will summon a small fox and leave it with you so you can go and recover from your injuries. If you agree just tell the fox and he will tell me. I say we should finish this mission within the next 2 weeks. If you decline I will understand, but if you decide to attack us or any leaf ninja the offer is voided and I will not hesitate to kill either of you. I may be a gennin but I am more powerful than most junnion." And with that Naruto summoned a fox and told it to stay with them for 2 weeks and what to do. Naruto then made 5 shadow clones and had one henge into a stretcher and carried Gatos to the village where Tazana lived. When they got there they told the village council and had Gatos put into an older rundown house. Naruto put the seal on him and one on the house so it would interact with Gatos seal. Naruto, Sakura, and Jiraiya met Tazana daughter tsunami and his grandson Inari. Everything went great for the first week. Durring the middle of the second week the bridge was nearly finished because most of the town was helping, when Gatos and a bunch of mercenaries showed up at the bridge and said "Well I made that deal with you but I lied, as soon as I have these men kill you and get me that contract back and I will have everything back and I will destroy this bridge. You think you outsmarted me with that seal. After your dead I will hire someone to remove it for me. Now men kill them."
Naruto looked at all the villagers and at his teammates, he then said "You are trully a fool Gato, I gave you a chance to live, you wont get a second." The villagers grabbed anything they thought could be made a weapon and got behind the leaf ninjas. Naruto and Sakura both made 25 clones each and formed a 2 line defence with them. The mercenaries charge the ninja and when about half the clones and most of Gotas mean were either dead or gone in puffs of smoke Gato started screaming "LET ME GO, LET ME GO, I DONT WANT TO DIE" which caused everyone to stop fighting and look at Gato. Gato was being held by the neck by zabaza and haku was standind next to him. Zabaza then took out his sword and said "Gato, You are a waste of life, your kind of people is why I left my village. I will give the choice of punishment to the boy there." pointing to Naruto. Naruto turned to the villagers and said "Well, what do you want to do to him." Inari stepped forward and said "he should die the way he killed my dad." most of the villagers agreed.
The rest of Gatos men started to run and help thier boss but Naruto started emitting killer attent again and they turn and ran away. Work was stopped on the bridge that day and zabaza carried out the public execution for the village. Gato was burried in a potters grave. After that mess was taken care of Haku and Zabaza approach Naruto and ask "Are you sure your village hokage will accept me and haku?" Naruto looked at Jiraiya and Jiraiya said "If he does not approve I give you my word as one of the three legendary sannin to give you safe passage personally out of fire country. But since all three of us are backing you the hokage will agree. He trust our judgement." Zabaza nodded and said "We will come with you when your mission is over." Sakura took Haku off to the side and started talking about medicine and what life is like in the hidden leaf. The bridge was finished two days later and the group of 5 ninjas left to go home. A group of villagers asked tazana what to call the bridge. Tazana thought it over and said "I think we should call it the Uzumaki Naruto brige of hope." the villagers all agreed.
On the way back Naruto stayed about 30 feet behind the rest of the group walking with his head down looking at the ground. After about three hours Sakura started to get worried so she used the gemini battle link jutsu. She was fixing to talk to him until she heard Naruto and kyubi talking. Naruto said "I know kyubi, I was able to save haku this time and got both of them to come with us. I am happy about that but I dont want to get back to the village yet."
"kit I know how you feel, I still cant believe they attacked you right before we left the village. I counted 30 of them. you could of killed them all but you just let them beat you because they dont consider you a threat yet. If Gia team had not been running by the ally they might of tried to kill you. If they knew how strong you were I do not doubt most of the village would come for your head. I healed you as fast as I could before the pervert and Sakura got thier but I was not fast enough" kyubi said.
Naruto was quite a moment before he said "the worst thing is Sakura and I might have a chance at a relationship and I would love that, I mean we did sort of kiss but she could blame that on emotional stress from the memmory switch. I never had a real relationship with anyone until me and Sakura spent nearly a year and a half together alone, away from all of our friends and her family. I know I should quit living in the past of future how you look at it but I dont know how to."
kyubi said "Kit, I think she is trying to sort out her own feeling also. I mean look what has happened since you came back. You have already change the future Naruto, even if it is only a little. I think what you should do is probably just be happy with the friendship you have with her now but maybe you should distance yourself from her so she does not get hurt. I mean in a few years win or lose she is going to have to live with the choices she has made. Maybe you should let fate decide. At least she respects you a little more than she did the first time. Remember sasuke this and sasuke that. And that time you saved her life from gaara and even when sasuke said it was you who saved her she said it had to be sasuke because you were not strong enough."
Naruto sighed and said remind me to give dear old dad a good beating when I die. Kyubi are you sure we cant use that time travel jutsu agian. I mean we could go back to when I first lived on my own after the villager tried to burn me alive in my first appartment and let them think i died. Then the villagers would not hate me, none of my friends would get hurt, Sakura could get a chance with sasuke and I could get stronger to kill the snake and sasuke brother so they would not screw thier lives together. I dont like the fact that Sakura has started noticing how the villagers stare at me."
"hey we both feel the same way kit. if I could of kept from attacking I would have but you dont deserve everything you had to put up with. you and me both know what will happen if you get involved with anyone. either the villagers would use her or hurt her to get to you or she would grow to hate you for the way they treat her because of you. that not even count what they do to any kids. And know I was not kidding when I said you would die if you went back agian. kyubi said.
Naruto was quite for a while and finally said fox, you are right, Haku told me the first time that a ninja must kill thier heart to truly be a ninja. I know it will hurt but I am just going to have to kill my heart and dreams so more people dont die. once we get rid of the tailed demons and I am the last and I know they wont come back I will just leave this realm and goto the summon world. Ill space myself from everyone so when I disapear nobody will get hurt. if no one loves me then noone will miss me. Well I can see the gates up ahead so I guess I should act like everyone thinks I should, an idiot. "YEAH HOO WE ARE HOME LETS GO SEE THE HOKAGE AND FILL OUT OUR REPORT." Naruto yelled. When they got to the gates 4 members of abnu appeared and Jiraiya told them that haku and zabaza wanted to join the village. They took gaurd position around the group and and led them to the hokage office.
Sakura who secretly overheard the conversation cancelled the jutsu and started thinking why does he have to suffer so much, I mean what did he ever really do to deserve all of this, What should I do.
ip3 said Well as far as I can tell you have a couple of options. One you can distance yourself from him, train, and get on with your life, 2 you can confront him about what you heard and try to change his mind and be friends, 3 you can admit you care for him and try to make him happy, but you will probably have the villagers to hate you also. You also got to realize sasuke will be back in the group in a week.
Sakura just sighed and walked with the group to the hokage office. on the way their she saw a villager pick up a rock an threw it at Naruto who was ahead of the group agian. she watched it hit him in the back and he just looked down and kept walking. Jiraiya wanted to do something about that villager but could not because he did not want to cause trouble with their two new allies. Zabaza and haku saw the rock hit Naruto and saw he did nothing about it and none of the group with them did either. Zabaza asked aloud why did the villager do that. A abnu in a weasil mask said "That monster deserved it". Sakura had enough and did some one handed seal and mumbled Earth style: earth pitfall justu and a small hole 3 foot deep appeared right in front of the weasil masked abnu who stepped right into it and fell hitting his face and facemask on the ground breaking his nose, also his ankle broke from the sudden weight change. One of the abnu helped him up and Jiraiya told them to go to the hospital. haku, zabaza and Jiraiya all saw Sakura do the jutsu but said nothing about it.
When they got into the hokage office Jiraiya put up a silence jutsu and told the hokage about the mission introducing zabaza and haku. The hokage then said "welcome to the leaf village. I will have to put you under a probation period of 2 months where you will have a curfew of 7pm unless you are on mission, certian area will be off limit until the probation period is over. you each will have 1 abnu watching you for the probation and your pay from missions will be charged 20 percent until the probation is over. I will give you a 2 bedroom apartment and deduct you rent out of your mission pay for the first 6 month also. after that you will be able to either stay in your apartment and continue paying your own rent or you can find one more suitable after that time. do you except." zabaza looked at haku and said "we accept but we have one question first, on the way here we saw the boy there getting angry stares and even had a villager throw a rock at him. I asked why that happened and an abnu said that monster deserved it. my question is why?" Naruto sighed and said. "Twelve years ago this village was attacked by the kyubi for reason most dont know or care and alot of people died, the only way to stop it was to seal the demon away. It was sealed in me. the villagers hate me because as long as I live the demon live. The story is more complicated then that but thats the jist of it. I am the walking prison for the kyubi." Naruto sighed at that point and said "I am not feeling very good right now. I will talk to you later. If you need anything else old man I will be at my rental house while I can before I go back to my old aparment." then Naruto jumped out the window and was gone. The hokage sighed and said "The boy really trust you. I made a law to try and make it easier on him years ago saying no one was to tell the younger generation about it but Naruto has the right to tell anyone he choses. He has very few people he trust and even fewer who never knew about it. The older members of the town know the truth because they were alive when it happened but most hate him for the friends and family they lost. I ask you not to speak about it. Now if you would go out the the secretary and give her this note she will have someone show you to your place and get you set up."
After haku and zabaza left the office the hokage asked "what happened". Sakura was the first to say anything "before we left on the mission Naruto was attacked by 30 villagers he tried to keep it a secret but I overheard him and kyubi talking. I was worried about him and I used or gemini jutsu and overheard them without me knowing. he acted like he walked into a tree in front of the client when we walked up. After we got back and zabaza asked his question the abnu in a weasil mask called him a monster and said he deserved it. I got mad and I used a low level one handed justsu to make him fall. he had a broke nose and a sprained ankle from what I could see . I know what I did was wrong and I will take any punishment you want." the third sighed and said "That wont be necessary Sakura. Since you completed all the objectives for the mission, go ahead and get some rest visit your mom and relax, you got the next three days off." After Sakura left Jiraiya said to the third "the boy is good. he took everything zabaza had and beat him. They must of did a number on him for his healing power to not heal him to the extent I saw." After that he left to go find Tsunada and tell her how the mission went. He found her at the hospital teaching hinata how to bring a fish back to life. "The mission was a success and both objectives were met but some events happened I will tell you about tonight. I missed you dear. I also kept my promise, you can ask them I never went to do research any on this mission. See you tonight love." he said as he gave her a quick kiss and left. Hinata stopped after he left to rest a moment and asked "Can we take a break sensie, I feel like I am almost out of chak-------" as she collapsed on the floor. Tsunada stopped her stopwatch and said "Well, you are getting better 45 minutes before you out cold.". She then had shizune take care of hinata while she went to find her fiance. As she approach the nurses station a nurse walked up to her and asked if she had time to look at an abnu who came in a little earlier since they were short handed at the moment. Tsunada agreed and walked into the room where a man was sitting in a chair with an abnu masked sitting on the counter beside him trying to stop a nose bleed and had a leg up in another chair. She asked him "what happened to you." the abnu said "I was escorting two missing nin. the demon brat, some pink haired girl and the other sannin to the hokage office. Someone use a jutsu on me and made me fall, breaking my nose and spraining my leg. I am willing to bet it was that demon brat. I will get him for it." Tsunada was ticked off because she started to consider Naruto her little brother but they were keeping that a secret for those who knew about the training. she then said "Let me check you over and fix your injuries" with that she did a quick check on his nose and said "let me fix that real quick." and she put a hand on each side of his and twisted left and right a couple of times hard and said "well in about a week it should be ok." she then checked his ankle and saw it was not broke but really sprained but she wanted to hurt him some more so she said "you ankle is broke so I will have to rebreak it to set it. Unfortanatley I can not give you anything for pain because you might put to much weight on it and damaged it permantly" she went about breaking it and severly and singing its a small world after all. the abnu was screaming like a baby. when she fished putting it in a cast she said "I might as well give you a complete fisical while Im here, prostate and colan test and lots and lots of lab" while she was pulling on a white glove and let it snap. A few minutes later a scream of "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH, YOU FORGOT TO TAKE OF YOUR RIIIIINNNNGGGGGG" was heard all across town. Tsunada left after the thirty lab results came back and said "you can return to active duty after about 6 weeks and after you pass another fisical." with that she left with a smile on her face. He passed out from a combonation of blood loss and pain.
