Team 13.
Chapter 5, Mission in the land of waves part one.
I do not own Naruto.
One hour and fifty minutes passed after team 13 meeting Naruto, Ino, Hinata, and Tazuna were waiting in at the main gate waiting for their last team member Aaron and their Sensei Asuma to show up.
"Where's Aaron-kun and Asuma-Sensei?" Ino asked getting impatient.
"I...Ino we still have ten m...minutes." Hinata said.
"I know but I'm just excited to have a C-rank mission."
"They'll be here. Out of all of your team those two seem the more mature and responsible." Tazuna said taking a drink of his bottle of Sake.
"Don't you think it's too early to be drinking?" Naruto asked.
"I'll drink whenever I want. It's none of your business." Tazuna told the blond. Naruto was about to respond when they saw Aaron walking toward them.
"Yo Aaron, you were almost late." Naruto said waving towards his friend.
"Sorry, I got lost in thought while I was sharpening Doragonzurīfu." (Dragons Leaf) Aaron said gesturing to the Katana at his side.
"Well at least you're here now. If only Asuma-Sensei would get here." Ino said. After three minutes Asuma came into view.
"Oh good everyone's here. Now here's how we will go. I'll take point while Naruto, Ino, and Hinata will guard Tazuna. Aaron you'll take up the rear." Everyone nodded. "Good then Team 13 lets head out!"
Everything was going good on their trip. Naruto and Hinata were playing a game of eye spy while Ino was looking at the sky. Tazuna was still drinking his sake while Asuma was enjoying a smoke.
"O...ok Naruto-kun your turn." Hinata said.
"I spy with my little eye something...blue." Naruto said.
"I...is it your eyes?" Hinata asked, she always seem to find herself lost in his eyes.
"No, how can I see the color of my own eyes without a mirror?" Naruto told her which made her blush.
"Then is it the puddle we just passed." Hinata said. 'Puddle?' Aaron thought. This also got Asuma's attention. Aaron activated his Kirinketsu. The next thing anyone knew a chain was wrapped around Aaron's Doragonzurīfu. Everyone turned to see two Shinobi standing where the puddle had been. They both had weird masks and claw like weapons.
"Well, well, you're a quick one aren't you? How did you know it was a trap?" The guy on the right asked.
"That's an easy question. There hasn't been any rain for several weeks so any water along the roads should have dried up." Aaron said.
"Naruto, Ino, Hinata protect Tazuna." Asuma said taking out his Chakra blades. Aaron then started sending Chakra into his blade to start the Lightning ball Jutsu. After a few seconds a jolt of electricity was sent from Aaron's blade through the Chain and into the left guys gauntlet causing the chain to un-whine from Aaron's bald and back to the guy.
"Asuma-Sensei do you know who these two are?" Aaron asked.
"There are the Demon brothers, Missing-nin from the Land of wave."
"Missing-nin, what is that?" Naruto asked.
"A Shinobi that has turned its back on their village." before anyone could speak one of the brothers attacked using his chain. The attack was stopped when Naruto threw a Kunai at the chain which caused it to get stuck onto a tree.
"You think your little Kunai will stop us." The brother said as he tried to pull on the chain. He soon found out that the Kunai buried itself deep into the tree. He then detached the chain and charged at Naruto. He was stopped in his tracks by Asuma. While Asuma was fighting the on brother the other threw three Kunai at the Genin. Aaron was able to block two but the third passed him and was aimed at Hinata. Right before the Kunai hit, Naruto blocked the Kunai with his hand.
"Naruto-Kun!" Hinata said when Naruto feel to his knee.
"Sorry Hinata but I couldn't allow you to get hurt." Hinata rushed over to him to inspect the wound. While she looked at the wound she gasped at what she saw.
"Naruto-kun, T...the kunai was covered in poison." Hinata told him. This enraged both Ino and Aaron.
"Ino come here." Aaron said. When she did he began to whisper in her ear. Not wanting to waste the open opportunity the brother then charged at Tazuna. Before he could get within five feet of Tazuna Hinata activated her Byakugan getting ready to defend Tazuna.
"So the little brat wants to play." The brother said bringing his claw up for a strike. Hinata was able to dodge the attack and hit him in the chest with her chakra palm. This sent him rolling into the ground.
"Now Ino!" Aaron said when he finally stopped rolling.
"Shintenshin no Jutsu!" Ino said making a ring with her index finger and thumb aiming at the Brother. Ino body grew limp when her mind left her body and traveled to the brothers. Aaron grabbed her body as Ino stood up in the brother's body.
"Shintenshin complete." Ino said.
"Now to help Asuma. Hinata-san looks after Naruto-san. Let's go Ino-Chan." Aaron said as he and Ino ran towards where Asuma was fighting. When they got to where Asuma was ten feet away from the other brother.
"Asuma-Sensei, Jump!" Aaron yelled. When Asuma jumped a chain was launched at the other brother. Sense he was surprise that his brother was helping the enemy that he didn't dodge the chain and it wrapped itself around him.
"Damn it, Brother why are you helping them?" The chained up brother asked. Asuma turned to see Aaron hold Ino's body.
"Shintenshin?" Asuma asked as Ino and Aaron walked up to Asuma.
"Ya, I got the idea after Naruto-San was attacked and poisoned. Hinata-San's looking after him." Aaron said.
"So Asuma-Sensei what do we do with these two?" Ino asked.
"I think we should tie them up and interrogate them. Then take their weapons so we can receive the bounty on their head." Asuma said before knocking out the chained up brother. Ino then sat next to him where Asuma tied her up. She then released her jutsu and returned to her body. Asuma then knocked this brother out.
"Thanks you Aaron-Kun." Ino said when she was back in her body.
"No problem Ino-Chan." Aaron said as they picked up on of the brothers. Asuma picked up the other and walked back to where Naruto, Hinata, and Tazuna where.
"Looks like you didn't have much trouble dealing with them." Tazuna said before drinking again.
"You have some explaining to do Tazuna." Asuma said when he placed the brother he was carrying. Aaron and Ino placed the other brother next to him.
"You have to understand. The Land of Waves is a pour country. All the money we have goes to Gato." Tazuna explained.
"Gato, the business tycoon?" Asuma asked.
"There's more to him than that. He's a monster. Back home I'm a bridge builder and my current job is building a bridge that while join us with the rest of the world. This threatens Gato to the point that he wishes to kill me."
"Then why not ask for an A-rank mission? This kind of mission is not fit for Genin. Its best that we return to the Village and request a jonin team is assigned to this mission." Asuma said.
"No way!" Everyone turned to See Naruto clutching his fits. "We were given this team and I will not abandon it, even if the client is a cheap ass."
"B...But Naruto-Kun you've been poisoned. We need to get you some medical help." Hinata told the blond.
"I don't care." Naruto said pulling out a Kunai and stabbing where the entered his system. Hinata tried to stop him but couldn't. "I will not turn my back on someone who is in need. I'm going to be the next Hokage." Hinata then looked at Naruto's blood system using her Byakugan. She was surprises to see all the poison was gone.
"Asuma-Sensei look at this." Ino said. When Asuma looked at Naruto's Hand he was surprises to see it healing itself. 'The Kyuubi must be healing him.' Asuma thought.
"I agree with Naruto. We cannot abandon Tazuna." Aaron said.
"I believe they are right Asuma-Sensei." Ino said.
"What do you think Hinata-Chan?" Naruto asked.
"I w...want to continue the m...mission with Naruto-Kun." Hinata said as she started to blush.
"Looks like I'm out numbered. Fine we'll continue to escort Tazuna, but I have to warn you it may only get harder from here." Asuma said.
"We know that Asuma-Sensei, were willing to go as far as we need too to complete this mission." Naruto said.
"Ok but before we go." Asuma said going to the Demon Brothers. He then took off their weapons. "Proof that my team took down the Demon Brothers" Asuma then put the weapons on a storage scroll and sealed them with in. After that they left the Brothers and continued to the Land of Waves.
Tazuna and Team 13 were riding slowly in a boat down river towards the Land of Waves.
"Wow, Look at that Bridge!" Naruto yelled. This earned him a smack on the head by Tazuna.
"Shut it kid. We're trying to sneak in and we can't do that with you yelling. That bridge is the one I'm building." Tazuna said. Naruto looked at the bridge in awe. After a few minutes they landed in The Land of Waves as the disembarked the boat Team 13 took their guard posts around Tazuna. They were about to start walking when Asuma yelled,
"Get Down!" all six ducked as a giant sword flew over their heads. The sword lodged itself in a tree to their right.
"What the hell was that?" Tazuna asked. Asuma looked at the Blade and instantly knew it. Three seconds later a tall man with bandages around his mouth stood on the hilt of the blade.
"Who are you?" The man asked.
"Sarutobi, Asuma. Why are you here Momochi, Zabuza?" Asuma asked.
"I'm honored, you know who I am yet i do not know who you are. I am here to kill Tazuna. So just hand him over and you and your little team go home." Zabuza said.
"I don't think that possible. My team made it clear that we would not abandon a mission. If I just gave you Tazuna my team would get angry at me. And i have one person you do not want to anger." Asuma said pulling out his Chakra blades.
"You really think you can take me on. I am Momochi Zabuza the demon of the Mist" Zabuza said as he made a few hand signs. Soon the entire field was covered in a thick fog.
"Naruto, Ino, Hinata, Aaron protect Tazuna. I want Hinata and Aaron to use your Kekkei Genki. If anything happens to me I want you to run to the village."
"Were not leaving you Asuma-Sensei." Naruto said.
"Even if they were to escape they won't get very far." Zabuza's voice said.
"Byakugan!" "Kirinketsu" Aaron and Hinata said. Aaron could see where Asuma was but had nothing on Zabuza. Hinata was the same.
"There are 7 place's one can strike to kill their enemy. Which would you like me to use on you? Decapitation? Or how about I strike your heart." Zabuza said. Naruto and Ino where scared out of their wits. "Or I could just end this by killing Tazuna." Zabuza then appeared behind them and started to swing his sword at Tazuna. His sword was stopped by Aaron's Doragonzurīfu.
"Impressive use of a Sword. But you're no match for me." Zabuza was about to overpower Aaron when Asuma kicked him in the head sending him back ten feet.
"Your fight is with me. Leave my students out of this." Asuma said.
"Fine, I'll save them for last." Zabuza then created a hand sign and five clones of himself materialized out of water.
"Water clones, this is not good." Asuma said to himself. Asuma then charged at Zabuza and his clones. The first two were dispelled with easy but while the third distracted Asuma the real Zabuza snuck behind him and trapped him in a ball of water.
"I got you now." Zabuza said. Hinata and Aaron saw this.
"Crap, we need to help Asuma-Sensei." Aaron said.
"Buy Asuma-Sensei s...said to run i...if something was to g...go wrong." Hinata told Aaron.
"What happened to Asuma-Sensei?" Naruto asked.
"He was trapped by Zabuza." Hinata told everyone.
"I agree with Aaron. We need to help him. I'm not about to leave a team-mate behind." Naruto said.
"Any ideas on how to stop him?" Ino asked.
"I have one but I want you and Hinata-San to take Tazuna into the tree line over there." Aaron pointed behind them.
"What about you two?" Ino said.
"We're going to help Asuma." Naruto told her.
"Ok but...just be careful Aaron-Kun." Ino said. She had a slight blush on her cheek but no one could see it.
"Y...you too, Naruto-Kun." Hinata said.
"Don't worry but Hinata if you see anything bad happen I want you all to run back to the village." Aaron said.
"B...but..."
"No buts please do this for us." Hinata gave him a nod and Ino, Hinata and Tazuna ran into the tree line.
"So what's the plan?" Naruto asked.
"Honestly I have no clue." This made Naruto sweet drop.
"Really, don't you always have a plan?"
"Not always. One thing I do know is we need to get rid of those clones."
"Time for Clones vs. Clones." Naruto made a cross with his index and middle fingers, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" In a cloud of smoke 20 Naruto's appeared behind him.
"One day you're going to have to show me that." Aaron said drawing his sword.
"Maybe later. Now let's free Asuma." Naruto said before they all charged at Zabuza.
"Looks like your student don't listen to well." Zabuza said to his prisoner.
'Damn it. I told them to get away.' Asuma thought to himself. Naruto had divided him and his clones into three groups of seven. While the clones fought it out Aaron had a clear shot to the real Zabuza. He had prepare his Lightning ball jutsu into his sword when Zabuza stopped him.
"You really think using a Lightning style jutsu is a good idea. Water conducts electricity."
'Damn it!' Aaron thought. If he had hit Zabuza he would have hit Asuma as well. He then turned around and launched the jutsu at one of the group of Clones, dispelling them all. After all of Zabuza's clones were dispelled only three Naruto's remained.
"I have an idea now." Aaron said before whispering to
Naruto.
"Hey Zabuza heads up!" Naruto yelled throwing a giant Shuriken like the ones Mizuki used. Zabuza easily caught it.
"Next time don't announce your attack's kid." Zabuza was about to laugh when a second Shuriken came at his feet. Naruto thought that he had him this time when Zabuza jumped over it. As the Shuriken passed under him it transformed Into Aaron who threw three small Shurikens at Zabuza's back. When the Shurikens hit the Water prison around Asuma dispelled. Asuma then, using his Chakra blades, gave Zabuza an upper-cut that sent him flying backwards 15 feet.
"Good it worked." Aaron said as he rejoined Naruto and Asuma.
"That was a stupid move. I told you to run." Asuma said.
"Sorry Asuma-Sensei but I couldn't. Kakashi-Sensei told me when we were training on our Jutsu's that those who abandon a mission a scum, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum." Aaron told his Sensei.
"Ugh..." Everyone turned to see Zabuza trying to get up. They were ready to attack when a guy in a mask appeared next to Zabuza. He picked him up and turned to Asuma.
"This fight is not over. We will return." The mask guy said before they disappeared.
"Ok that was weird." Naruto said.
"I agree. Hey Hinata, Ino. You guys can come out now!" Aaron yelled. A minute later Hinata, Ino and Tazuna ran out of the forest and up to their team-mate.
"What happens now?" Ino asked Asuma.
"For now we continue to escort Tazuna back to his home. From there we continue to train for the battle that is to come." Asuma told her.
"Y...you mean w...we have to f...fight him again?"
"Ya Hinata-Chan but next time he won't be alone." Naruto said.
"Well let us continue to my home. I but there is a warm super waiting." After Tazuna mentand food Naruto's belly started to rumble. Team 13 continued on their journey.
