I own nothing. Wow I am pathetic.

Chapter 6: Mission end and return home.

Sasuke groaned as woke up. Normally he wouldn't have woke up so early, but he woke to the smell of something delicious. He and Sakura along with Tazuna and his family rose up from their beds. They made their way downstairs to find that Naruto was in the kitchen at the stove cooking while Zabuza and some unnamed female were talking with each other.

Sasuke immediately got into a stance with a kunai out while Sakura looked like she was on the edge. Tazuna took his daughter and grandson behind him to try and protect them.

"Easy you guys," Naruto said looking up from his work, "Those two are with us right now. So is the fox."

"Fox?" Inari asked

The blonde jerked his thumb over to the side. They followed his thumb to see a Fluffy snuggling up to Hitomi. Sakura cooed at the sight of the two foxes snuggling. Sasuke just focused on Zabuza.

"What are they doing here?" the emo prick asked.

"I told you they're with us," Naruto said.

"Yes," Kakashi said, "Their employer will be dealt with and they are with us since they broke from their contract with Gato."

"But what about Gato?" Sakrua asked, "Won't he come here for payback?"

"Actually he won't," Naruto said placing some food on some plates for everyone, "He's up there."

"You killed him?" Tazuna asked, "How can he be in heaven?"

"No you old goat," Naruto said, "He's on the ceiling."

The group looked up and saw an unconscious Gato who passed out from lack of air. The man had woken up and started yelling into the biomass that covered his mouth. Naruto originally had it so he would breath, but he stopped that until he was out cold. Good thing too he was close to running a light sword through his head.

"Why isn't he dead?" Tazuna asked as he glared at the old man on his ceiling.

"Simple," Naruto said, "He's messed with your village. I think it's only fair that you get your payback. Now who's hungry?"

Naruto said as he set the plates down on the table. Everyone shrugged and ate. Sasuke still looked suspiciously at Zabuza and the nameless girl. He noticed she was very pretty. He smirked as he though he could use her.

"Is there something on my face?" Haku asked as she noticed him staring.

"Who are you exactly?" Sasuke asked.

"Haku Momochi," the girl answered.

Sasuke smirked as he knew this was the daughter of a strong man.

"Well," Sasuke said, "My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I was wondering if you would like to go out sometime."

"Sorry," she said, "but I'm not interested right now. That and I don't date people I don't really know."

"We could change that," Sasuke said.

"Back off brat," Zabuza growled, "If you touch her I'll cleave the flesh from your bones and hang your bones out to dry."

Sasuke shut up, but kept his mouth shut. He kept on eyeing Haku which got on Naruto's nerves.

'I can't believe he's checking out my Haku-chan," Naruto thought, 'Wait…where did that come from?"

After breakfast Naruto pulled Gato walked down to the town square. He jumped up on a building and spoke out.

"People of Wave!" he said getting everyone's attention, "I am here to deliver a message. Gato has fallen and…well you get the rest."

"He can't be gone," one townsman said, "None of us could get near him."

"Oh really?" Naruto asked, reaching for something, "then what do you say about this?"

Naruto lifted Gato, who was still wrapped in biomass. The crowd gasped. Then their looks turned stormy as they looked at the man who had caused them and their children so much pain.

"He's not dead," Naruto said, "I didn't want to kill him because that would deprive you of the revenge you so rightly deserve. You are his judge, jury and executioners. Enjoy!"

He withdrew the biomass and threw it to the old man to the ground. Gato shook himself as he looked around and saw a bunch of angry villagers who had quickly armed themselves with makeshift weapons and stuff. For the rest of the morning and well into the afternoon you could hear the screams of a tortured dying man.

After that Gato's head was placed on pike for all to see. At least until people were sickened by the sight of it and they had it burned. New spread of Gato's death and all the workers who quit working on the bridge returned. The bridge was to be finished by the end of the week. For most of those days nothing really happened. Sakura had started training seriously and was starting to improve quite a bit. Her chakra control was rising as her reserves increased. Sasuke spent most of his time brooding, training, or checking out Haku.

It had been a few days since then and Sasuke was going to try to put the moves on Haku.

"So Haku," Sasuke said, "I was wondering if you could help me with something."

"What?" the girl asked. She had a feeling she wouldn't like it.

"Well," Sasuke said, "first I want you to see if you can get your old man to train me. And I need help with restoring my clan back in my village. What do you say?"

"Say no more Uchiha," Haku said.

Sasuke smirked. He heard somewhere that you could attract more flies with honey then with vinegar. He decided to try and come off as a nice guy and try to win Haku over.

"My answer is no," Haku said making Sasuke lose his grin.

"What?" Sasuke asked.

"You want me to get my father to hand over his secrets to you," Haku said, "You also want me to hand myself over to you so I can be used as a baby factory. So my answer is no."

Sasuke growled. He tried to grab Haku to make her submit. Unfortunately Naruto felt it through the force. He had arrived just in time and grabbed Sasuke by the throat and lifted him up. Sasuke shivered as he felt the killing intent coming off him.

"Listen Uchiha," Naruto growled, "You have not right to try and order Haku around.

Sasuke got back some of his courage and said, "She is our prisoner and a civilian. I am merely getting information out of her and getting some use out of her as well."

"She is a civilian," Naruto said, "but since she is a civilian prisoner that means she outranks you. No one outranks a civilian on a mission except he Hokage and you sure as hell aren't a hokage."

Sasuke was about to retort when Naruto's eyes flashed a deep crimson. Sasuke gulped in fear. His life was flashing before his eyes as he glared at the boy. As the video of his life flashed before his eyes Sasuke never noticed his vision changing slightly.

Naruto dropped Sasuke and growled, "Now get out and stay away from my Haku-chan!"

Sasuke, still afraid, got his butt out of there. After a few seconds Haku spoke up.

"You're Haku-chan?" she asked making Naruto blush.

Naruto stuttered as he heard that. He had grown quite fond of the girl over the past few days. He wanted to ask the girl out, but he never got the guts. You think a guy who dealt with a crazy village and slaughtered a whole base full of mercenaries would have the guts to ask out a girl. Well what can you do?

"Well uh," Naruto stuttered, "I uh *gulp*

"It's okay Naruto," Haku said smiling, "I like you too."

"Oh really?" Naruto asked, "In that case um would like to go out when we get back to the village and all the paperwork is taken care of?"

"I'd like to," Haku said smiling.

The date was set and things after that were pretty much quiet. Sasuke didn't try to get Haku again. At least not right away. He figured he could get what he wanted from the council when they got back to the village.

A few days later…

Naruto and company stood on the outskirts of the town while overlooking the newly completed and unnamed bridge. Then villagers stood before them and smiled gratefully at them. Tazuna, Tsunami and Inari stood closest to them. Mostly because Inari was hugging Naruto's leg and crying.

"Do you really have to go big brother?" Inari sobbed.

"I'd love to stay," Naruto said, "but I need to go home. By the way I need you to take care of your mother and your grandpa. Especially your grandpa."

Tazuna developed a tick mark above his eye as he heard that remark. Tsunai just giggled at Naruto.

"See you guys around," Naruto said as he, his friends, and Sasuke all left.

"Father," Tsunami said, "what are we going to name the bridge?"

"Hmm," the man thought, "I think we should name it after the one who saved us from Gato's tyranny. What do you say?"

The villagers let out cries of approval.

"Very well then," Tazuna said, "I hereby dub this bridge: the Great Naruto bridge!"

The villagers cheered even louder.

Later on in Konoha…

"So Kakashi," Sarutobi said, "tell me why you have a missing nin and an unknown in your presence."

The group had made their way to Konoha much faster due to the fact that they were able to run at a faster pace since they didn't have a civilian dragging them down.

"Well," Kakashi said, "Zabuza here as well as his daughter Haku want to join our village. Oh and before I forget there are some things I would like to speak with you about with Naruto and them only."

"Very well then," the old fire shadow said, "Sakura Sasuke you are dismissed."

"I'm not going," Sasuke said, "anything the dobe has to say I can hear."

Sakura walked up behind him bashed him over the head and dragged him out of the office. Sarutobi looked at the remaining members and the missing nin with a surprised look on his face.

"She got over her crush on the mission," Naruto explained, "Good thing too. The last thing I need is her damn banshee of a mother coming down on me for "murdering" her precious daughter."

"Good point," Sarutobi said, "So what is your report on the mission."

"Well," Kakashi said, "things started off as normal. After a little bit we were attacked by the Demon Brothers who me and Naruto quickly dispatched. Naruto revealed the power of his [prototype] bloodline to Sasuke and Sakura in the process. After a vote we continued on. Closer to Wave we were attacked by Zabuza. Naruto engaged him one on one and nearly won until Haku intervened and took him away. After that we went to Tazuna's town where we stayed. While there Naruto found a summoning contract and we managed to convince Haku and Zabuza to quit working for Gato. After that, under the cover of night, we both took on Gato's stronghold along with Hitomi here, who revealed a more savage side. While there we encountered Aoi Rokushi and Stone Bear. We have proof of their defeats in these scrolls. Naruto then captured Gato and brought him back to the town where he let the villagers have their payback. Other than that nothing."

"Whoa," Sarutobi said dropping his pipe, "That was some mission."

"I know right?" Naruto said.

The conversation would have continued, but an ANBU appeared in a swirl of leaves.

"Forgive me Hokage-sama," the ANBU said, "but the council has requested your presence as well as team 7's and their prisoners."

"Oh brother not this again," Naruto said out loud.

"Don't worry Naruto," Kakashi said, "If they give you hell you can just claw them to death."

"Might as well," Naruto said.

The group then left for the council chambers. When they entered they found Sakura and Sasuke already there. The Hokage took his place at his chair.

"So what is this about?" the old man asked.

"We want to know why two missing nin have been brought into our village," said a pink haired nuisance and no I'm not talking about Sakura that was fixed up in the last chapter for those of you who skipped to the fight scene.

"Well," Kakashi said, "we managed to get them to join us in hopes that they could find a home in Konoha."

"I say we send them back to Kiri," said some civilian, "They could try to betray us like they did their village."

"Now now," the old man said, "we can't just kill them. They may have something to give the village in return for staying here? Do you have anything?"

"Well," Zabuza said, "I have a mastery of the Silent Killing Technique that I can teach to students. Plus I can become a teacher in sword fighting all together."

The council thought about that. They could use a teacher in swordsmanship. The only other swordsman in the village was deathly sick. Plus the silent killing technique could help them in dealing with their enemies.

"What does the girl have to offer?" asked a councilwoman.

"Haku," Zabuza said, "has deadly accurate aim and a knowledge of the human anatomy. She also has a bloodline that allows her to use ice techniques."

The Shinobi part of the council was interested in that since a new bloodline in Konoha would be very useful. The civilian council was interested in this because they could use her to breed with the Uchiha to make the clan even stronger.

"Given skills," Shikaku Nara who woke up from his nap said, "I say Zabuza be enrolled as a jounin. However I suggest that he be put on watch and parole for about four to five months. If he so much as burps we know what he had for lunch."

The other people in the room agreed with this. They would need to keep an eye on him. He was a missing nin that tried to kill the Mizukage for Pete's sake.

"I suggest that he girl either be put under the CRA," said one civilian council man, "or she be wed to the Uchiha."

"I refuse," Haku said making the civilian bristle.

"As do I," Zabuza growled, "I am not about to have my daughter taken from me and used as some kind of baby factory."

"You will-*gurk!*

The man was cut off when a large whip-like appendage tore through his throat. Everyone followed the arm to see Naruto's arm had transformed. Naruto tugged on his whip fist and pulled the civilian closer to him. Then he crushed the man's skull in his hands. The civilians in the room turned green including Sakura. Sasuke and the Shinobi side looked shocked. The others looked impassive.

"How dare you?" Koharu yelled, "Sarutobi I demand we have this boy arrested for the murder of a councilmember.

The old geezer was silence by Naruto, Sarutobi, Kakashi, Haku, Zabuza, Sakura and Hitomi glaring at her.

"Ordering the Hokage? I thought you would have learned after the incident with the guys at the Documentation department," Naruto said.

Sarutobi had the civilians placed in jail and interrogated by Anko and Ibiki. Apparently the civilian council still thought it was untouchable. Man these guys are a bunch of idiots.

"Apparently," Sarutobi said, "there needs to be some changes done."

"Hey," Naruto said, "Why don't we just get rid of the civilian council and hand over control over the businesses to someone who is level headed."

"Who do you suggest?" Sarutobi asked.

"Him," Naruto said pointing at the man in bandages.

"I can sense he is level headed," Naruto said, "Besides he's the only one on the civilian council who doesn't glare at me whenever I enter the room."

"Danzo," Sarutobi said, "do you accept this responsibility?"

"I do sir," Danzo said with a smile under his bandages."

"Good," the old fire shadow said, "Now to all of you civilians…GET OUT!"

The members mentioned immediately got the heck out of there.

"Are you sure that that was a good idea Naruto?" the Sandaime asked as the last of the former civilian council members ran out.

"Yeah," Naruto said as his arm turned back to normal, "I havce a feeling that the council will be much easier to deal with since those bickering morons are out of our hair, or, in your case, lack of hair."

The people in the room couldn't help, but chuckle at that. Even Hiashi couldn't help but snicker a bit. And then everyone got serious again.

"Naruto," Hiashi said, "what was that ability you used just now?"

"That," Naruto explained, "was one of my bloodlines. I call that one the [prototype] bloodline."

"Is that all it can do?" Tsume asked.

"Nope," Naruto said as he shifted his arms to their claw form, "I can form my arms into different weapons and even send my biomass into the ground and strike with it. One ability which I call my "consume" ability allows me to absorb the biomass of another being. This allows me to take the appearance of said person, along with their memories, and probably any bloodline they have."

"You can steal bloodlines?" Hiashi asked. He was a little nervous as he heard that.

"Don't worry," Naruto said, "You haven't done anything to hurt me, so I don't really have a reason to steal from you Lord Hyuuga."

Hiashi gave a mental sigh of relief.

"You said one of your bloodlines," Shikaku Nara spoke up waking up from his nap, "What is the other one?"

"The other one," Naruto said, "I call the Star Killer bloodline."

"What does that one do?" Danzo asked.

In response Naruto just closed his eyes. He tilted back his head and rose his hands up. Then slowly the ground started to shake. Then everyone in the room started to levitate off the ground. Sakura was really glad that she was wearing pants at the time. Just as soon as it started everyone was dropped on their butts in their chairs.

"I also have a whole other array of abilities," Naruto said, "Plus both allowed me to bring one other bloodline to our village."

"Another one?" Tsume Inuzuka asked as she regained her bearing, "In who?"

Then she heard a loud crackling. Everyone turned and felt their jaws drop as they saw Kakashi radiating electricity. Then aiming at the wall he fired a huge bolt of lightning that blasted a hole in the wall.

"The White Storm bloodline," Kakashi said, "fits don't you think?"

The people present who didn't know about the abilities were in shock. They could only nod at the strength.

"As you can tell," Kakashi said, "Mine gives me unmatched control over electricity and lightning. I can drain the electric energy from people, form force fields, and a few other things."

"I like the way this sounds," Hiashi said, "Why don't we put them under the CRA?"

"Sorry," Naruto said, "but I'm a one woman man."

"Yeah," Kakashi said, "I'm in the same boat as him. Besides given how I am with my little book a few women might not be so keen on being with me."

The women in the room nodded at that point.

"So," the Saindaime said, "by the look of things we have two freakishly strong ninja in our midst. You should be ready for the upcoming Chuunin exams Naruto."

"Can't I just get my rank now?" Naruto asked.

"Sorry," Sarutobi said, "but I can't just give you the rank. That would be blatant favoritism. I have to set and example. By the way Naruto I want to tell you about your parents."

"I already know who my parents are," Naruto said making Sarutobi gasp.

"How did you know?" Sarutobi asked.

"I learned from the Shadow Clone I consumed during my demonstration to you," Naruto said maiking the Shinobi and Danzo gasp.

"You already knew about his powers?" Tsume asked.

"Well," Sarutobi explained sheepishly, "I didn't want anyone to know because the civilian council would have tried to have Naruto killed under the fact that his powers were gifts from the Kyuubi."

"Good point," Shikaku said.

"So who are his parents?" Tsume asked.

"Um," Sarutobi started, "Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze."

"What?" Hiashi yelled, "I told Minato I'd protect his son and he was right under my nose the entire time?"

Everyone looked at Hiashi since that outburst was out of character for him. The Hyuuga then blushed bright red since he was obviously embarrassed.

"So Naruto," Sarutobi said, "I guess you'll be taking your father's name."

"I guess I will," Naruto said, "but I thin Iwa is going to be a problem soon."

"Why?" Tsume asked.

"My dad caused them trouble right?" Naruto asked, "Well I think during our fight at Gato's place one of the mercenaries escaped. More then likely I'm either in the bingo book, or he went to Iwa and told them."

"Hmm," Sarutobi hummed in thought, "If that is the case then we should be ready in case Iwa tries something during the exams."

"Got it," Naruto said, "is that all?"

The old man nodded. Team 7 and the former missinig nin then left with Sasuke glaring at Naruto.

Naruto suddenly stopped, "You guys go on ahead. I want to have a word with Sasuke alone."

The rest of the them shrugged. The others all left leaving Sasuke and Naruto alone.

"What is it?" Sasuke asked in an annoyed voice. He had been shown up by Naruto at almost every instant.

"Sasuke," Naruto asked, "What is it you want power for?"

"I want to kill my brother," Sasuke answered, "What does that have to do with anything."

"Before he left," Naruto said turning to face Sasuke, "did he say anything to you? Anything of importance?"

"Yeah," Sasuke said with a smirk, "He said that I didn't have enough hatred that I wouldn't be strong enough until I had enough hatred."

"Sasuke," Naruto said, "I can sense your hatred. You have plenty of it. Now has that hatred been doing you any good at all?"

Sasuke was silent. Then he looked at Naruto with a raised eyebrow.

"Sasuke," Naruto said turning around, "Remember what Kakashi said. Look underneath the underneath."

With those words Naruto left Sasuke to his thoughts

After Naruto left the tower he was approached by Danzo as well as a few of his root ANBU.

"Namikaze-san," Danzo said since the street was abandoned at the time, "I have something that might interest you."

"What would that be?" Naruto asked the old war hawk.

"You'll just have to find out," Danzo answered as he motioned for the blonde to follow him.

The blonde knew he could just use the force to peer into his mind and find out what he wanted to show him, but he decided against it. This man had proven his trust. He remembered from his childhood when a few ANBU with blank masks saved him from a mob.

Naruto followed Danzo. The man lead Naruto to an old abandoned building. The tow entered and Danzo lead him to the far wall. Danzo reached for the wall and hit a secret panel that opened a hidden door. The door opened to reveal an elevator. The two and the ANBU stepped in as the door closed. The group was then sent downwards. After a few seconds of the downward journey the elevator stopped. The door opened to reveal a large chamber. As Naruto followed Danzo he noticed that there were multiple training areas around here. He figured this was the base for his root ANBU to train.

The two eventually found themselves at the medical ward. The two then made their way to a room in the back of the ward.

The two entered. As Naruto did he saw a woman sleeping in a medical bed. The blondes eyes widened in in shock as he looked at her. She had pale skin and long bright red hair.

"M-Mother?" Naruto asked out loud as he saw the woman.

Cut! Okay another cliffhanger. I'm really starting to get an addiction to these apparently. Now I'm sorry this took so long to update, but the site has been giving me problems lately. That and I had a big test to study for. Other then that nothing else. So Naruto has found his mother. Will Sasuke become slightly nicer? Will Iwa try something in the Chuunin exams? Don't ask me cause I ain't telling you guys nothing! See you!
