(A/N:) Read me! The reviews are depressing me. ;.; Sorry if this is short compared to the last chapter, I don't know what's happening in this story any more. Do you think I should continue? Never mind, of course I'll continue. There's even a reason why this is so short! (At the bottom, if you wish.)

On the Wings of Revenge

By: Zeida and Maria (Maria)

Warnings:Insanity, crack, violence, blood, gore, plotholes, randomness, lack of plot to begin with, language etc... Etc...

Disclaimer: I don't own it.

Summary: Zabuza finds Naruto after Haku, and takes him away. This is half crack nuttiness. Vengeful!Naruto. It's starting to look like a foursome to me but it's not? Just brother love? Gaara, Haku, Naruto and Sasuke...nuttiness. Shikamaru shows a lot too! Have I proved myself nuts yet? Inspired by my own nutty-ness.

NOTICE!: This one wants to hold a little contest! The prizes will be: A chapter dedication to you! and a (non-NC17, X, or R rated) Fan art drawing of your choice! (Yes, I CAN draw) Now, In this story, I seem to be being VERY nasty about/to Kabuto. He is very likely to die, really. But the truth is he is one of my favorite characters! Weird, eh? The only Character that I can't bash is Shino, actually. Someday, I will make a story that is nicer to the poor guy. But as for the contest: Me and Zeida were role playing once and we made Kabuto stalk(but was in LURVE with) a REALLY random character. Except in Canon, he was actually nice to said chara! I want you, loyal and sweet reviewers to try and Guess who it is! Guess! Go on, I dare you! You will NEVER guess! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Tries:

"It can't be Naruto, because he was a real jerk to him later on. It can't be Kiba, because he knocked him out. It can't be Sakura, he never really interacted with her. It could be Hinata, but she never interacted with him. That leaves two options, both equally disturbing. Kimmimaro or Baki. Kimmimaro was cruelly manipulated by Kabuto, so that doesn't work either. So it has to be Baki. That's certainly random." by RobotPirateNinja

Anyway, this contest will end when someone guesses the right person. I will update announcing this no matter how much of mine chappie is done, so you are very likely to get one helluva weird chappie!

Thanks

ChApTeR TeN: You Got Some 'Splaining to Do (Part One)

Sighing now that the sannin was gone, the closer ninja knelt down to have a look at the unconscious boy in Shikamaru's arms. He didn't seem to be very injured, but something had definitely knocked him out. recalling that the snake sannin had leaned in towards to boy right before the collapse, the deer boy decided that one of three things could have happened.

"He was either spat poison on, breathed poison on, or injected poison into." the deer boy said out loud. The easiest to check without the help of a medic nin was biting. Chouji carefully pulled off the pale boy's shirt. There were gasps from one side of the crowd, they had noticed the bite mark, still with minute droplets of blood running out. Then, there was a seal glowing on the boy's shoulder.

"What... the hell is that." Sakura ground out, still looking furious. The genin stared at it, most shaking their heads that, no they didn't recognize it, the rest verbalizing it. Akamaru whined, confused and upset by the negative energy emitting from it. The Hokage stared at it. That was a symbol that was present on the wreckage of some of the research scrolls that Orochimaru had left behind. Unable to take them with him, the wayward snake sannin had destroyed all of his works.

The jounin and Zabuza also leaned in, examining the mark. Anko, seeing it, gasped, and one hand shot unconsciously to cover her neck. Asuma looked concerned, knowing that it was evil, yet not what it was. He glanced up at the kunoichi behind him, and walked silently towards her.

"All right?" he asked in a whisper. The scantly dressed woman focused on him, surprised. "Do you know what it is?"

Anko looked down. "Yes, and no." she said sadly. She moved the collar of the jacket just slightly, so the other jounin could see the identical mark on her own flesh. "I don't know what it does, but it was this that knocked him out, and it is his mark…"

Asuma nodded. "Thank you…" Suddenly, a wave of thick, murderous aura swept over them all. Zabuza stood up straight, staring at the boy. Everyone still capable of fighting prepared themselves, as the furious missing nin growled deep in his throat.

"That bastard… I've seen that mark before, and several similar to it." Everyone stared at him.

"You've seen it?!" Shikamaru stood, leaving Sasuke to Chouji to care for. Gaara sat close by, making sure that no one else came anywhere close to the sleeping boy. "What is it? What is it meant to do? Will it harm him? How do you remove it? Is it a seal or a focus point?"

Zabuza stared, startled by the boy. "A-all I know, is that the… creatures that had it were given super strength, and speed. But they were turned in to monsters. All they wanted was to kill, even their bodies reflected the twisted desire. They were mutated, demonic." he looked around, noticing the incredulous looks of those who knew his identity. "No, seriously! Worse that me!"

Now, those who were not aware of the who the man actually was, were quite worried.

The Hokage turned to face the terrified crowds. "I am afraid that the Chuunin Exams are temporarily canceled. Please, if you will follow the ANBU guards, they will lead you to a safe haven were you may wait until the trouble has been disposed of. Depending on the damage, and the willingness of the competitors, the exams may be picked up from there. I apologize greatly for this disturbance."

At this, most of the nobility began to panic, the shinobi around them only barely containing a riot. The middle class, used to ninja and their problems, actually stayed fairly placid, making strained conversation to keep and children calm and following their designated ANBU out to the secret tunnels hidden throughout any self respecting ninja village.

Elsewhere, around the stadium and village, the Oto ninja learned of their leaders retreat. They panicked. Many of them breaking ranks and posts, and fleeing the village. Others felt that this would be a good time, during the chaos and all, to loot. The rest fell were they stood, efficient Konoha shinobi taking them out before they could decide what to do.

Still in the arena, the motley group decided on their actions. Carefully lifting his old student, Kakashi lead the way to the medical bay set up for the tournaments use. Temari, who had come down to help her brother, and Kankuro himself both froze as they heard yelling in the distance.

"Uh, we got to go for a bit…" the puppet user excused weakly, before running in a fixed direction towards the yelling. Temari followed quickly, shooting apologetic glances behind her.

In the sick bay, Sasuke lay unconscious on the bed, everyone else looking worriedly at him, and at the door where the Hokage had left ten minute before. Finally, he returned, followed by Kankuro.

The nurses and few medics that weren't on the field helping against the Oto ninja, hurried over to take care of the Suna boy. They had already patched everyone else up from the tournament fight, and done all they could for the Uchiha on the bed. Unfortunately, he still hadn't awoken.

"It seems that Orochimaru has fled." The Sandaime said, drawing everyone's attention. "He did not attack anyone, but it seems that he has purposely demolished anything and anyone in his path on his way out of the village. There is a rescue team on the scene, looking for survivors and assessing the damage." Zabuza, and his students looked away, this was useless information to them. Sakura looked worried, and was biting her lip.

"Hokage-sama?" she question. "Where is Temari? Why did you only bring back Kankuro?" At this, the painted boy looked thoroughly insulted.

"Me? Brought back her by someone else?!" Kankuro thumped a hand against his chest, indignant. "No, I just wanted to leave the rebellion crushing to Temari."

Elsewhere, in the meeting spot designated by the 'Kazekage' of Suna, a mass of shinobi looked at Temari in shock.

"He's… dead?" someone asked tentatively. Temari shot the shinobi a glare.

"Are you all deaf?" she proclaimed loudly. "My father, the average of our village, was killed some time ago by the leader of the new hidden village of Oto. Said leader has been impersonating out leader, and signed all the treaties with himself."

Many of the shinobi of Suna began to whisper together. "Is that why no one was ever allowed at the meetings?"

"Surely he could have used a bushin?"

"That would have been noticed by any self respecting high rank ninja. Anyone in our village would have noticed."

Temari looked appraisingly at the crowd. "So, what should we do to the insulting bastard that impersonated our Kage and thought he could get away with it?! Now that I think about it, their whole village!" She was answered by enraged shouts, the people of Suna furious that the sannin though he could get away with such a thing.

A little later, Temari also walked into the medic bay, lead there by a rather cowed Konoha ninja. In the room, the Hokage had just finished reciting the damage so far to his jounin, the genin listening in anyway.

Apparently, several jounin had come and gone, leaving their Kage with reports that he read to his other jounin. Out in the battle field, the Oto nin were being pushed back, at first it had been an equally matched fight, both sides confused at the sudden turn of events. Then, as the word of Orochimaru fleeing spread, the moral of the Konoha side grew, and Oto's shrank. They were now almost beaten out of the village, with the sudden arrival of Sauna ninja, who seemed to be furious, and dearly wanted to massacre to the unfortunate, but totally deserving, Sound.

That finished, the whole room lapsed into silence. The air was heavy with unasked, and awkward questions. Finally, the Hokage spoke.

"Could some one kindly explain why there seems to be a dead boy lying unconscious on one of the beds?" he asked pleasantly. Instantly, Naruto and Gaara, still disguised, broke with excused, each disregarding the other. When they realized that they contradicted each other, they froze. Then Haku broke in, his excuse unchallenged, but utterly absurd.

"We found the body and decided that he needed another chance because his life was too short and wrought with tragedy, so we used a special thing that was created by evil gods, but we didn't know it then, and brought him back. Except because it was evil god made, he was… never mind…" Blushing, although you couldn't se it, he clamped a hand to his mouth.

Zabuza, tiredly rubbed a temple. Alibis, that was what he would teach them. Alibis…

Silent until then, Shikamaru suddenly spoke up, drawing the Hokage's very startled attention. "We all thought he was dead! He fell into the river at Wave, and he was covered with weapons,. So it was only reasonable that he was dead. Everyone went to find him, except no one found a body." he looked around nervously, expecting to be contradicted. "When he arrived here, he didn't interact with anyone, so he obviously has no idea who we are. And obviously we didn't know he was here…" the deer boy trailed off at the disbelieving stare from his Kage.

"Shikamaru-san, please explain what you have to do with this?" he questioned, not unkindly.

"Nothing." Asuma suddenly interjected, a tiny note of anger in his voice, although undetected by any save the Hokage, Kakashi, and Kurenai. Kiba, oddly enough, picked it up as well.

The Hokage looked reproachfully at son, who turned away. The older man sighed "Why are there dangerous, no, two dangerous missing nin here pretending to be Kage?" he questioned.

Naruto, still looking like Arashi, waved his hand around in the air, rather violently. Gaara, on his shoulder, and Ino, on his other side, bounced away to avoid being brained. "Me! Pick me!" he yelled. Zabuza happily clamped a hand over the boy's mouth, holding him still with the other. "It's a long story, but to make things shorter, I'm not a phony, I'm the true Mizukage."

The elder Sarutobi smiled kindly. "I think we have time for a story. Please, start at the beginning."

Sighing, Zabuza told what he knew, he was helped long by his students. When there story was told, the group that had gone to Wave, to protect Tazuna, told there story, each of them taking turns as not everyone was everywhere. When they got to the point where the genin had been sent to Gatou, everyone turned o Shikamaru.

He looked away pointedly, mouth firmly shut. Smirking, Gaara filled in the rest of the story from there. "Sasuke killed Gatou, and left with us." squeaked the raccoon-lemur hybrid.

The room was silent, no one knowing what to say. Those who knew couldn't look the Hokage in the eye. Temari and Kankuro turned to Sakura, a look of deep respect in their eyes that startled her back a few steps. Kurenai looked at Asuma in confusion, her students looking at each other, then at Sasuke.

"Wait, Sasuke and Shikamaru are traitors?!" Kiba suddenly squeaked. The smoking jounin palmed his face in annoyance.

"No." he said, quite clearly. Kurenai sighed in relief. ?Kiba sighed to, a grin in place showing off his frightening canines.

"Oh, good, because Shika's too Shika to be killed" he nodded in emphasis. Shino swatted, Hinata, to her surprise and everyone else's, followed suit. Their teammate yelped, covering his head with his hands and ducking, his puppy barked his disapproval.

Ino and Sakura turned slowly to the pony tailed boy near them. "You… knew…?" they hiss, almost in unison. "You knew and you didn't tell us?!" The Nara stared at the both of them, thoroughly scared. He brought his hands up in a pacifying gesture, trying to calm them.

"I could have just found out my self!" he offered. Chouji sighed, folding his arms on the bed near Sasuke's head, and leaning on them. Behind him, Kiba stared at the Uchiha's sleeping face.

"Is he a precious person? Do I protect a precious Person's precious person?" the dog boy wondered out loud. No one around him seemed to notice. "To a degree." he decided suddenly. This, the Akamichi below him heard. He turned his head to the standing boy, questioningly. Kiba grinned reassuringly at the other, then sat down on the floor, leaning against the bed. Looking slightly confused, he began to sort of who he was supposed to protect, and who would try to kill him should he try.

Suddenly, Ino and Sakura were distracted as Naruto, as Arashi, threw an arm around Shino's shoulders. Glaring at the smaller boy, the bug user harshly stomped down his foot on the other's and jabbed his elbow back into the (normally) blond's gut. Everyone around them winced, knowing that an emotional Aburame probably wasn't the safest thing to deal with. Not to mention that this was the boy who fought against Shino in the finals, and was so vehemently attacked.

Stepping back Naruto rubbed his stomach, pouting. "Fine, I won't fix the stupid seal!" The taller boy turned slowly to face his face furious. The jinchuuriki took another step back, a strained grin on his face. "Erm, that is I just wanted to ask you to send a bug in Sasuke and tell us if there are problems." he amended.

The bug user frowned, looking back at the sleeping boy. "Why not use a medical jutsu, this is the purpose that they were designed for."

Naruto grinned. "Well, your bugs are sensitive, right? But the mark that that bastard left might be too. It can probably sense medic stuff, and probably Byakugan radiation too." at this, he pointed to the two Hyuuga present in the room. "But it wouldn't expect a bug, would it?"

Shino frowned, thoughtful. The adults of the room stared appraisingly at the genin for his cleverness. Zabuza grinned behind his wrappings, smug at their surprise, and proud of his student at the same time.

Gaara then hopped on Lee's shoulder, hoping for a better view. The boy in question, looked worriedly out of the side of his eye. Shikamaru, hearing that Shino might be able to do something, stared at him, pleading silently. Chouji, on the other side of the bed looked up as well, joining with the puppy dog eyes.

Zabuza looked at the Aburame with slight pity. He knew how had it was to resist that strange jutsu. Finally, the boy gave in, walking over to the bed and leaning over slightly, observing the sleeping Uchiha. Just a moment after award, Shino rose again, looking around at everyone watching him. Shyly, he backed up, looking for his usual escape route. (Kiba)

"Foreign chakra is traveling through his system from the mark. It's heading to brain fastest. It seems to be sensitive to medical jutsu and seals, but not Byakugan and I am not sure of extent of which it is sensitive of seals." he spoke up, finally gathering the courage.

Sandaime nodded at the information, then turned to Hinata. "Hinata-san, if you would, could you watch his chakra and tell us if anything changes." he requested. The Hyuuga girl blushed slightly and bowed.

"O-of course, Hokage-sama!" she stammered, and turned to Sasuke, activating her Byakugan. The Hokage turned to his son, who was still refusing to look at him.

"Asuma, could you please retrieve Jiraiya?" he asked. For a second, the smoking ninja didn't move, then he vanished. The Sandaime sighed, suddenly feeling very old.

It only took a few minutes for the jounin to return. He came this time through the front door, dragging the frog hermit by the ear. Upon seeing him, Shikamaru got his strange, unexplainable urge to make sure his shirt was on and his fly was zipped, and that neither were going to be in any other state any time soon. This was a very strange urge, mostly because he wasn't were pants that had a fly today.

Jiraiya was very pissed. The disbelieving brat that was his sensei's son had come back again, and interrupted his research! He was planning a new book and needed that, damn it! The man had said that there was another emergency that required his assistance.

He had said no. Obviously this wasn't accepted, which was why he was standing in the middle of a medic room surrounded by brats, with this ominous feeling in the air.

The sannin froze, turning to his sensei. "He was here." It wasn't a question. Time started moving again, and Jiraiya shot forward towards the bed, breaking free of Asuma with ease. He swore, seeing the mark and instantly started shooing everyone out.

No one was left in the room, the stood staring in the hallway at the door that had slammed shut in their faces. There was an odd shuffling from inside, then suddenly, the closest to the door, mostly genin, had to dive out of the way as an entire bed came pelting out. This happen a couple more times, this suddenly stopped. Counting the beds told the group that there were no more left in the room.

"That means that Sasuke has nothing to lie on…" Chouji muttered.

Hinata frowned at the doors, curious. Neji looked at her, till slightly nervous, but recovered. He brought his hands up in the Byakugan's seal, making sure it was within her sight. Looking at her, the younger Hyuuga's eyes widened. She nodded, and both activated their Byakugan.

The light of the chakra in the room was blinding. Both Hyuuga unconsciously deactivated their kekkei genkai, and stumbled back, those behind catching them. For a while after, neither could see through the glare left behind.

Frowning, Shino informed the group that his insect had also burned up before even being able to enter the room.

The jounin, and Kage sighed, and decide that it was better instead to relax and wait it out. Most of them sat themselves in the hallway, surrounding the room. Seemingly determined not to follow their example, Chouji and Shikamaru began to pace. Most of the other genin leaned themselves against the wall.

Glaring at the two restless ninja, Ino slipped over to Sakura, whispering in her ear. They move made their way over toward the last of team ten and grabbed them, forcing the two to sit. Ino stood guard over them for a moment, making sure that they would stay put. They did so grudgingly.

Ino spun around, looking for anyone else who dared to be fidgety around her. Locking on to her next target, the blonde grabbed Naruto (Arashi) and sat down, forcing him down next to her. He latched onto Haku who was pulled down as well until all three were seated. Gaara took this time to wrap himself around the base of Lee's neck, whimpering every now and then. Subconsciously, the Gai clone began to pet him.
