When Naruto awoke he found himself in Tazuna house and he saw that the other Rangers were in the room with him and he saw Lee looking at him and said "Welcome back."
Naruto asked "How long was I out."
Lee said "About 2 hours. Tentens got a mean right hook huh."
Naruto rubbed his head and said "You could say that. So whats up."
Lee said "Well Sasuke is still out, Haku and Tenten been asleep about 30 minutes now while I meditated. Neji wants answers and Kakashi and Gai are with Tazuna and his family downstairs. It appears that the talons have killed everyone in the closest village where all the workers came from." as he leaned back and looked at the ceiling.
Naruto frowned and said "Damn it. What does Tazuna want to do know."
Lee sighed and said "Its over, the bridge will be left unfinished. Hes going to come back to Konoha with us and his family. There are only 3 villages on the whole island and I had alpha scan and looks like the other 2 villages are fine but its a days travel between them for civilians."
Naruto closed his eyes and said "I see. So that means the only people who know about what happened here are Tazuna and his family and Neji. Has anyone told them anything yet."
Lee shook his head no as Naruto opened his eyes and Naruto said "Well let me go talk with them and you watch over the others." as he got up and stretched as some bones popped back into place and he walked out the door.
When he got downstairs he saw Tazuna family all looking down and Neji meditating with Kakashi reading his book and Gai drinking a glass of ice tea.
Naruto sighed and asked "So how is Sasuke."
Kakashi said "he should be out for a few more hours."
Naruto nods and said "So I am sure you all have questions about what has happened huh."
Neji opened his eyes and Inari asked "What was that back on the bridge. I mean it was so cool but weird."
Naruto said "What I am about to tell you all is something you must never repeat for your own safety. What you saw was a rogue clan that's objectives I can't tell but anyone who gets in their way they kill. We only have limited info on them and we are trying to take care of them before anyone discovers there is a clan like them around because it could cause a shift of power to each of the hidden villages resulting in the deaths on a lot of people. I am sure you have more questions but we can't answer them. I know that's even harder for you Neji considering that 2 of your team mates are involved but think about it. When was Sakura killed and a member of this clan able to switch places with her. Why is it none of us were able to tell she was an impostor. Think what they could do to someone like Kumo."
Neji narrowed his eyes and Kakashi noticed and said "If you have anymore questions Neji you can talk to the Hokage about it and he can fill you in if he thinks you need to know but for now I am ordering you not to tell anyone unless you ask the Hokage permission first."
Neji said "Very well."
Naruto looked at Tazuna and asked "So what do you plan to do about the bridge."
Tazuna sighed and said "Its over kid. All our friends from the local village are now dead and there is no one to do the work."
Naruto said "Yes there is. Just trust me and lets go to the bridge and I will show you an entire army of men who are ready to help with your bridge."
Tazuna looked at him for several minutes and he asked "Are you sure kid."
Naruto said "Yeah, so are you ready to work."
Tazuna asked "What about my family."
Naruto looked at Kakashi and said "The others can stay here and guard your family since most are out right now."
Kakashi said "You sure Naruto."
Naruto said "Yeah, I'm sure."
Kakashi looked at Gai who said "Very well Naruto. Good luck."
Naruto walked outside and Tazuna followed and when the pair got to the bridge Tazuna asked "So wheres this army."
Naruto put his hands together and said "Tajuu Kagebunshin no Jutsu." and around 200 Naruto appeared shocking Tazuna and Naruto said "Just tell them what to do and they will do it."
Tazuna sat his jug of sake down and said "Alright, here's what I need you to do......"
3 weeks later Naruto sighed as he and the others stood on the bridge and Tazuna said "I wish to thank you for completing this bridge for me and my people though there were those I wish was here to see it completed with us."
Naruto said "I am sorry for the loss of your people and pray that the troubles that you never have to suffer again so please don't mention anything you saw here so that way if those people ever come back they won't attack you and your family."
Tazuna said "We won't, that's for sure. Tell your Hokage I will send the rest of the payment when I can."
Kakashi said "We will and again sorry for the loss of your people."
Tazuna looked at the bridge and said "I guess the only thing left is to name this bridge......I think I will name it the Heroic Wave Memorial bridge in honor of those who died for it."
Tenten said "I think that is a good idea."
Sasuke frowned and said "I still can't believe that Sakura was killed by those enemy ninja and we never realised it was an impostor."
Kakashi said "I know. Well lets head back now." as he pulled out his book and started to walk away with the others following slowly behind him as Tazuna turned and walked back with his family.
When Team Youth returned to Konoha the guards were about to say something when they didn't recognise Haku but Kakashi said "Don't. We lost a team member on this mission and we have a person who wishes to join Konoha."
The guards said "Sorry for your lose." as they stepped aside and let the teams pass. They headed straight toward the Hokage tower and were soon let in to see the Hokage.
The third looked at the team and smiled until his eyes took in the whole team and notice Haku and that Sakura was missing. The third frowned and asked "Where is Sakura."
Kakashi said "I am afraid she is KIA sir. It appears that she had a run in with our intruder we had a few months back." as he glanced at Naruto.
The third frowned and said "I see. Alright team youth, you are dismissed exept for you miss and Kakashi and Gai."
Naruto said "Actually sir, if I may. I know Haku here longer than anyone here and I would like to talk on her behalf."
The third looked at Naruto and said "Very well. The rest of you may go and you can plead her case Naruto along with your sensies."
The rest of team youth looked at them and silently left and after they were gone the third said "now what is this all about."
Naruto sighed as he sat down and said "First let me introduce Haku, former apprentice of Zabuza Momochi and the Crystal Ranger."
The third nods and said "I see. Now tell me what happened on this mission."
An hour later the third had just finished hearing the reports from Naruto, Kakashi, Gai, and Haku about the mission to wave and to say he was shocked would be an understatement. 1 students death, when was not determinable but she had been replaced, 1 missing nin/apprentice becomes a power ranger, a 3 way ambush resulting in the death of the threat to the client, the capture of a bijuu, and the loss of an entire village full of people.
The third sighed and said "That is a lot to take in. So who all knows the truth."
Kakashi said "The client Tazuna and his family thought I doubt they will tell anyone since they lost a lot of family friends and then then Neji would be the only other one who knows the whole truth. Sasuke was about to ruin Naruto plan to save us from Gato and was knocked out."
The third said "Very well. I will have Neji to remain silent. What do you want done with Haku here Kakashi."
Kakashi said "I suppose she can replace Sakura since she needs to be with the other rangers now that this Raven knows about her and the others."
Naruto said "I will need a few days off sir before I can take any missions."
Everyone looked at him and the third asked "Why."
Naruto said "I need to help repair the Zords in case Raven sends another Bijuu after us soon as well as check the security on the Sanbi and make sure it is secure."
The third said "Very well. I clear you for the rest of the week from missions along with the rest of your team."
Naruto said "Thank you sir. I will begin as soon as I had time to deal with my other responsibilities." as he turned and started to leave and Haku looked confused and the third tossed her a headband and wrote something down and said "Kakashi, please take her to this address and help her get at least a weeks worth of groceries to get started with."
Kakashi nods and they both left along with Gai.
Naruto arrived at the Wolf Claw Weapon shop and walked inside and Dustin said "I see you all made it back but I hear things went bad huh."
Naruto sighed and said "You could say that. Anyways I need to get to work on those weapons if you don't mind."
Dustin shrugged and said "Yeah, go ahead. You only have a month to finish the order anyways."
Naruto nods and asked "Where's Tenten."
Dustin said "Shes taking a shower right now."
Naruto said "I see, well talk to you later." as he walked into the forge and quickly created 20 Kagebunshins and after looking he touched his morpher and disappeared in a white beam of light.
When he appeared back in the command center he saw Alpha working around the command center and Naruto said "Report."
Alpha said "Ai, Ai, Ai, the Zords are all severely damaged and will take a while to repair and the Sanbi is now in its prison near the Kyuubi."
Naruto nods and said "Alright, work on getting the Neo Dragon Zord and the Crystal Titan Zord first. Both of them are single combat Zords. The rest we will work on after we get those 2 done."
Alpha said "Yes Ranger." as he quickly left to begin repairs. Naruto turned and walked toward the detention level and soon came across the Sanbi and Kyuubi and Naruto said "So Sanbi, lets talk about Raven and your master Omega."
Sanbi said "Go away Ranger. I will not tell you anything."
Naruto smirked as he walked to a control station and said "Well lets see how you feel after a few hours of torture." as he pressed a button and electricity shot through both the Sanbi and Kyuubi cage making both creatures cry out in pain as Naruto left to help Alpha.
When Tenten came down the stairs she had a towel wrapped around her hair and a pair of biker shorts and a blue T-shirt as she walked into the forge and thought "hmm, I wonder which is the real one."as a clone looked at her and said "Boss not here Ten-chan. Hes at the command center repairing the Zords."
Tenten frowned and asked "Where is the command center."
The clone said "Press the black button on the side of your morpher and it will take you there."
Tenten looked at the morpher on her arm and pulled the towel off her head as her hair fell down her back and the clones eyes got wide a moment as she hit the black button and she was gone in a blue light.
She appeared in a room with a lot of things she didn't recognise and she thought "Is this the command center."
Just then a yellow and teal light filled the room and Lee and Haku appeared and Lee said "Ah, so your here also huh Tenten."
Tenten said "Yeah but I just got here. Where are we exactly."
Lee frowned and said "This is the command center." as he walked over to a computer and typed on it a few times and said "Naruto in the Zord bay with Alpha and......"
Tenten asked "And what Lee."
Lee said "Nothing, follow me and I will show you to where he is." as he thought "what are you doing to the Sanbi and Kyuubi Naruto. Do you hate them so much you would torture them for fun." as he lead them down a tunnel and into an elevator and when they all 3 got in he pressed the botton that had the letter B on it and they felt like they were moving and soon came a stop and the door opened.
The first thing they heard was "Damn it, the acute motivator on the right arm is completely destroyed." from Naruto as they walked out and saw hundreds of Naruto walking around working on the Zords and saw hundreds of Zords and Lee closed his eyes and after a few seconds said "Naruto up there in the operations desk." as he started to walk up a set of stairs.
Tenten asked "How can you tell which is the real him."
Lee smirked and said "Hes the only one who feels like the wind." as he entered a room at the top of the stairs followed by both girls.
When they got there Naruto was looking at a holographic image of a zord and Naruto said "Alright Alpha, the Titan Zords going to have to be completely remodeled." as he typed on a keypad and several images appeared and merged with the Titan Zord and Naruto said "There, by taking the Gundar armor plating from the Neo Space Red Shuttle Zord we can incorparate the titanium thruster pack of the White Dragon Zord giving the Titan zord more speed and mobility."
Alpha said "Yes Ranger. I will get on it right away."
Naruto sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose and said "So, whats up." as he turned and looked at the other 3 rangers.
Lee said "Brought Haku by the command center so she would know how to get here and Tenten was already here in the main operation room."
Tenten asked "What are you doing here."
Naruto said "Well, I don't know when we are going to need the Zords again so I came by to help Alpha as well as make some modifications so if we have to use them again it will be easier. I just updated the file on the crystal titan Zord and I was getting ready to check the updates on the Neo Dragon Zord and see how the best way to repair it. Since I am having to use the other Zords as parts for now since I need to find a supplier for the metal alloy we use for our Zords which is something not on this planet."
Tenten asked "Is there anything we can do."
Naruto said "Hmm, well I suppose Lee can take you both down to the Training room and have you work on your ranger fighting skills since Tenten and Haku have been getting a rush coarse so far in all this."
Tenten frowned and Haku asked "What happened with the Sanbi."
Lee stiffened and Naruto said "I have him and the Kyuubi both in the prison cells right now and I will be interigating them both later to see if they are willing to tell me anything about Raven or Omega."
Lee frowned and said "So thier just sitting there for now."
Naruto looked at Lee and said "No, I have the cells torturing them at the moment with low level electrical charges to show them I am not playing around and hopefully to make them talk."
Lee said "I see."
Tenten asked "You knew that already, didn't you Lee."
Lee said "I wanted to make sure hes not just torturing them just for the fun of it to get revenge for Sensei. Now that I see he's not I don't have any complaint."
Naruto snorts and said "Lee, I'm a Ranger first and foremost. I don't like the suffering of others but we have to stop Omega or everyone here on our world will be killed."
Lee said "Very well. Ok girls follow me."
Haku glanced at Naruto and asked "What exactly is that." pointing to Alpha.
Alpha said "Ai, Ai, Ai. I am Alpha."
Naruto said "Hes sort of like the power behind the power rangers. Without him and the other Alphas that use to exist, the Rangers would have ended a long time ago. Now if you don't mind I need to get back to work."
Tenten huffed and she said "Fine. I can tell when I am not wanted." as she turned and walked down the stairs.
Naruto blinked and thought "did I do something wrong."
Tenten giggled when she got to the bottom of the stairs and thought "You maybe the leader of the Rangers but you have a lot to learn about woman Naruto. I will make you feel guilty and try to make it up to me. That will teach you to leave without asking me if I wanted to come help you."as she was joined by Lee and Haku.
